Back at the Lishan camp, Ying Zheng immediately went to Ji Fa and told him what he had seen and heard this time.

Ji Fa squinted his eyes, stroked his white shiny beard and thought for a moment, sighed lightly and said, "I really can't imagine that there is a cave at the bottom of Kunlun Mountain!" ”

Ying Zheng was puzzled: "Master, our Tiancheng has been passed down for so many generations, why hasn't there been a legend of the King of the West, and there are still records about the Temple of the Queen Mother of the West?" ”

"Maybe it's because you don't have the same curiosity as you do." Ji Fa said, "Since the dragon source in Kunlun Mountain has been completely restored by the Nuwa ancestors, we only need to follow the will of the five emperors and restore the three dragon veins intact. ”

"Besides, the West King and us are not directly in the same line, he didn't want to tell the secret of the West Queen Mother Temple to the Five Emperors at that time, naturally he had his intentions, maybe he didn't want us to be distracted from affairs other than Huaxia, or maybe it wasn't the time yet."

Ying Zheng smiled bitterly: "If I can't seize this opportunity again, there will be no one after that day." ”

This is true, but if you think about it carefully, maybe even if Yingzheng doesn't take the initiative to explore Kunlun Mountain, he may have to go there to see the Great Wall after it is built in the future, after all, Longyuan is there.

"By the way, Master, did you say that the Yao Chi mentioned by the bamboo shoots is where the dragon source is located?" He asked.

"It's really possible." Ji Fa sighed, "It's a pity that the iron-eating beast is different from the dragon clan's divine beast and has a inherited memory, what the bamboo shoots are saying now should be told by its father, after more than ten generations of relays, it would be good not to be out of shape." ”

"Well, so I plan to wait until the secret of the West Queen Mother Temple is solved, and then let the iron beast go free." Ying Zheng said, "Why don't you follow us this time, and Shizun can also talk to Bamboo Shoots more, maybe you can get more useful information." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

The master and apprentice made a plan for the next step, and Yingzheng left Lishan and rushed back to Xianyang.

After entering the city, Yingzheng asked the guards to inform Li Si and asked Li Si to go to Sima Mansion to find him.

Every time he walked through the back door of Sima's Mansion, Yingzheng was interested this time and walked in generously from the front door.

Because he was wearing civilian clothes, it was night, and he didn't have any guards with him, so he didn't attract anyone's attention.

When I passed by a hall, the lights inside were very bright, and there was a burst of discussion inside.

One of the voices was quite familiar, and Ying Zheng walked into the door sideways, and saw that several students were discussing problems in front of another student.

I saw that the student who was surrounded was very upright, his conversation was also elegant, and his gestures were a little steady, and the most important thing was that he was logical and clear, and what he said was very convincing.

And the familiar voice just now was none other than Zhao Tuo, who was sitting below.

Next to Zhao Tuo, Xu Fu also looked at the excitement with a smile, and after finding that someone came in, he subconsciously glanced back, but was stunned.

Ying Zheng made a silent gesture and beckoned to Xu Fu.

Xu Fu came to the door lightly, and was about to say hello, but was pulled out of the door by Ying Zheng.

"Look at your concentration, could it be that this handout is a master?" Ying Zheng asked in a low voice.

"Back to the king." Xu Fu smiled and replied in a low voice, "This person's name is Xia Wuji, he is quite knowledgeable, and the most important thing is that his medical skills are very exquisite. ”

"No wonder." Ying Zheng scolded with a smile, "If you let your kid listen to the Four Books and Five Classics, you will definitely not be willing, but if you talk about medical skills, you are more active than anyone else." ”

"Hehe, he just finished talking about medical skills and talked to us about academics." Xu Fu said, "But he is really knowledgeable, didn't he see that Zhao Tuo listened more seriously than me." ”

Ying Zheng said: "Accompany me to the Treasure Pavilion first, and talk while walking on the road." ”

Xu Fu nodded in response and accompanied Yingzheng to the inner mansion.

"How is Zhao Tuo lately?" Ying Zheng asked.

Xu Fu stretched out a thumbs up and said: "Your Majesty, your cousin is really an all-rounder, not only is he skilled, but he also learns poetry and songs very quickly, and he is interested in everything. ”

Ying Zheng glared at him and said angrily: "You help him say good things, didn't you collude a long time ago." ”

Xu Fu said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, do I use good things for him, that's your cousin, it is inevitable that you will reuse him in the future, and I don't expect him to be grateful to me much, am I guilty of saying good things for him." ”

"It's like an honest one." Ying Zheng said, "But then again, I use people based on ability and loyalty, not nepotism, there are many princes and nobles surnamed Ying, who do you think I reuse?" ”

"That's true." Xu Fu said, "Our king is not a foolish king. ”

"Again, get down to business." Ying Zheng said, "Jiuding has no problems these days, right?" ”

"Of course, no problem." Xu Fu said with a smile, "The king and the teacher have entrusted me with such an important matter, how can I not treat it wholeheartedly." ”

Ying Zheng patted him lightly on the shoulder and said: "After I took Hu Yu to formally apprentice, you became the apprentice of the master, and you officially became a member of the Tiancheng lineage, and you already know many secrets, but if you want to say that the most important thing for the Tiancheng lineage, it is none other than Jiuding, so you don't relax." ”

Xu Fu put away his smile and became serious: "Don't worry, as long as I have a breath, I will never let Jiuding have an accident." ”

"It's good to have your words." Ying Zheng said, "By the way, what has Sima Jie been busy with lately?" ”

"In addition to managing the selection of talents, the second is to take people to compile historical materials." Xu Fu replied, "It seems to be almost finished, and it is said that only a few people are left to make mistakes." ”

While talking, the two of them had already come to the small lake, and when they saw that the guards of the Treasure Pavilion were patrolling around the Treasure Pavilion, Ying Zheng calmed down.

Ying Zheng didn't let Xu Fu wait outside this time, but took him into the secret room underground.

"Although you have seen Jiuding, but you don't know their difference and structure, I will teach you today." Ying Zheng said as he took him to the front of Hu Ding, and introduced him at the beginning.

In the face of this hard-won opportunity, Xu Fu was willing to miss it, and he raised his spirit of twelve, and recorded what Ying Zheng said word for word in his mind and the depths of his heart, and in his bones.

"This Jiuding is in an ordinary state at the moment, if there is a use, you can also turn them on to an active state, and now that their divinity has been stimulated, they can be called an artifact."

"What does the Jiuding that opens the divinity look like?" Xu Fu asked.

"It's different, but the next time you activate the Heavenly Eye, you'll be able to see it."

Xu Fu was a little disappointed: "Then I don't know how long it will take, if the king dominates China, it will take a few years." ”

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "My plan has changed, and it only took one day to go to Kunlun Mountain this time, so I should be able to retrieve Tianmu one by one in the near future." ”

"Really?"

Ying Zheng nodded, and then came to the front of the platform where the Tianmu was stored, patted the lead box and said, "This time I came back to pick up the Tianmu, and I may have to go to Kunlun Mountain again in a few days." ”

"The king has only been gone for a day and has returned?" Xu Fu exclaimed loudly, "Could it be that the clouds are not able to control the fog?!" ”

Ying Zheng smiled: "It's not enough to ride the clouds, but it's true to shuttle through the magma." ”

Immediately, Ying Zheng talked about the matter of driving the candle nine shadows in general.

Xu Fu's eyes straightened when he heard this, and he muttered, "My God, the king can actually control that unimaginable one-eyed snake?" ”

"What's this, I've sat on the phoenix." Ying Zheng boasted, "Your master has also sat down, just a few days ago, I took her and Wuchan to Jiuyou. ”

Xu Fu said with red eyes: "When will the king take me with him?" ”

told him so much, Ying Zheng was waiting for this sentence.

Now that Meng Tian and Meng Yi brothers have been sent out by him, and Qiang Qi and Suo Lin are preparing for war in Shangjun, he really needs an entourage by his side, at least to recite some salutes.

And in the Tiancheng lineage, this apprentice who belongs to Hu Yu is the most suitable.

The reason why Xu Fu was asked to worship Hu Yu as his teacher was purely because Ying Zheng always wanted to be lazy, but in fact, according to common sense, it was his apprentice who lacked alchemy, not Hu Yu.

Later, he gave Xu Fu to Hu Yu on the grounds that Hu Yu wanted to learn medical skills, but it was actually Ji Fa who really taught Xu Fu.

"Do you really want to go out with me and see the world?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Of course." Xu Fu blurted out, "Since my ancestor taught me a lot of things, my curiosity has become stronger and stronger, and I am looking forward to when the king will bring me too." ”

"Okay, I'll take you with me this time." Ying Zheng said, "But you have to keep your mouth shut, and you can't tell anyone about these secrets." ”

"Of course I do." Xu Fu said, "Your Majesty, don't worry." ”

Ying Zheng nodded: "Prepare, let's set off tomorrow and find a place for the Iron Eater to settle down first." ”

Immediately, he told what he had seen and heard about this trip to Kunlun Mountain and how he met the bamboo shoots.

It can be seen that what is written on Xu Fu's face is more shock.

"Your Majesty, all these divine birds and beasts you are talking about can speak? Also highly intelligent? He asked, incredulous.

"Otherwise, why would you learn alchemy?" Ying Zheng said angrily, "If this pill is useless at all, then it is better to take some supplements." ”

"Hehe, that's what I said, but the king said so much, I have to look at it carefully."

"Then you have to find a place where no one is around, otherwise others will see it, and they won't say that you have epilepsy." Ying Zheng said, said a few more words, and then left the Treasure Pavilion.

Sima Jie had already heard the news and took Zhao Tuo to take King Qin to the inner hall.

"Your Majesty, why did you go to the outer mansion when you came back this time?" Sima Jie asked.

"One is to stop by, and the other is to see the situation there." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "I just saw Zhao Tuo and Xu Fu listening to a student's discussion there." ”

Zhao Tuo said: "That person's name is Xia Wuhe, and he is a talent." ”

"I heard he's good at medicine?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Quite accomplished." Sima Jie said, "This Xia Wuhe's master is a well-known practitioner in the countryside, wandering around to see people, and has a good reputation among the people. This kid is so smart that he learned all his skills, and then he was ordered by his father to come to Xianyang to find relatives. ”

"Looking for relatives?" Ying Zheng said, "Have you ever found it?" ”

Sima Jie shook his head: "He didn't specify the names and addresses of his relatives, only that the relatives were not of low status, and it was difficult to meet." ”

"It's hard to meet?" Ying Zheng said with a smile, "If you want to say that in Xianyang, except for the palace, you can't walk around casually, and you can't go anywhere." ”

Wait, the royal palace ......

Surname Xia?

Sima Jie and Zhao Tuo looked at each other and seemed to have thought of something.

"Go and call him, and say I want to see him." Ying Zheng commanded.

Zhao Tuo answered, turned around and ran out.

Not long after, Xia Wuhe was brought to Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng didn't go around in circles, and asked directly: "I heard that you are here to find relatives, and the widow wants to help you." ”

Xia Wuhe arched his hand and said: "If the grass people can see the king, most of the task of finding relatives will be completed." ”

Ying Zheng's brows moved, and he asked quite seriously: "Done most of it?" Are you looking for me? ”

I saw Xia Wuhe kneeling directly on the ground, and arched his hand: "Brother is above, please accept the worship of the virtuous brother." ”
