"Aunt Xue, Master has always taught us to be kind in words and deeds, so let's help them."

Xue Gu frowned, looking at the miserable man on the ground, her heart was moved, she sighed, and replied, "But we have to wait for us to collect Chiwu first." ”

Endless Mountain.

Although Tongyang City belongs to the southern zone, it can't withstand the cold winter, the city is full of frost and snow mist, but the rest of the mountain is covered by a thick layer of snow, and the temperature around it is obviously much colder than other places in the city.

Seeing that the outside of the mountain was surrounded by a tall wall, the door of the wall was locked, there were two neat columns of soldiers guarding in front of the door, and the plaque on the main gate read the four big words "Royal Cemetery", and sighed helplessly, "The old man just now really didn't lie to us, and the mountain really became the emperor's private cemetery." ”

"So what? If we tried to get in, they could easily stop us. Xue Gu said.

"But when we release the red crow, it will inevitably cause a huge movement, and then the palace will inevitably send troops to arrest us, if we alarm the heavenly palace, even the master will not be able to protect us."

Being an immortal sounds superior, but in fact it is better to be a human being, and the rules and precepts of heaven are wider than those of the emperor in the world, and those who make mistakes will be punished.

What's more, he was punished with thunder, destroyed his body and soul, and did not return to reincarnation.

Listening to Xihe's words, Xue Gu felt reasonable, and thought about it, she secretly poked Xihe, and motioned for her to let the mountain ghost go alone.

He didn't want to let him take any risks.

The two of them pushed back and forth, but at this time the mountain ghost said, "If you don't want to waste time, go and uncover the notice and go to the palace to ask for credit." ”

"Didn't Xihe say that you are very powerful? In that case, isn't it the same if you go in alone? Why do you have to unveil the notice? Xue Gu ignored the obstruction and said bluntly.

He glanced at her faintly, his gaze swept over the lock bracelet on his wrist, paused for a moment, raised his eyes slightly, and slowly replied, "Benjun, no." ”

His ghost and god power has not yet recovered, and his cultivation is not as good as before, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, of course, he can avoid it.

"Xue Gu, I think the method of the mountain ghost is very suitable, if the notice is revealed, we can not only help the people of Tongyang City detoxify, but also get the emperor's unconditional reward, then we can enter the endless mountain openly."

After compromise, Xihe went to unveil the list.

Entering the palace, the mountain ghost pretended to be a miracle doctor, and Xihe and Xuegu followed him and pretended to be his two maids, standing in the golden palace.

The emperor had a dignified complexion, with a delicate and flawless dragon crown, and looked down at the people under the hall.

The mountain ghost looked calm, not humble or disrespectful, and the two little girls behind him were not afraid.

Seeing this, the inner supervisor beside the emperor said sharply, "Presumptuous! Don't kneel down when you see Your Majesty? ”

Xihe shook his whole body, knelt on the ground as soon as his legs were weak, and honestly lay on the ground.

"Dare to make a fool of the people!"

She was shocked again, and when she looked sideways, it turned out that she was the only one kneeling down in the hall, and the mountain ghost and Xue Gu still stood in place calmly, and seemed to be deaf to the words of the inner supervisor.

She stretched out a hand and tugged at the mountain ghost next to her, motioning for him to kneel down quickly.

Unexpectedly, he took a step forward, bowed slightly, and asked, "Your Majesty, you have been sleepless day and night lately, and you have not slept peacefully?" ”

The emperor raised his hand to stop the inner eunuch beside him from speaking, and asked, "I don't know how the divine doctor knows?" ”

Since the outbreak of the poison epidemic, he has indeed not slept well, almost all night sleepless, tortured he is haggard, even recently read the official documents can not be done, the palace doctor will only prescribe some calming medicine, but the effect has not been seen for a long time, so angry that he punished the palace imperial doctor one by one.

"Your Majesty's eyes are dark, his eyes are dull, his face is blue and haggard, and his body is weak and weak when he goes to the palace, not to mention that these are symptoms of insomnia, as early as when the subjects came to and from Tongyang City, he heard of His Majesty's generosity, courtesy, thrift, and love for the people, and now that Tongyang City is full of poison and epidemics, His Majesty must be sleepless day and night."

"I didn't expect the miracle doctor to look so young and have such eyesight." The Emperor stood up from the dragon chair excitedly and asked urgently, "What can the divine doctor do to cure my insomnia?" ”

"As the subjects said above, Your Majesty is benevolent and generous, loves the country and the people, this is a knot in the heart, the epidemic is not solved for a day, Your Majesty is uneasy for a day, and insomnia cannot be cured."

"According to the meaning of the divine doctor, as long as the poison epidemic is resolved, my insomnia can be cured without cure?"

The mountain ghost nodded in response, conjured a medicine bottle from his sleeve, and explained, "This is a tranquilizing pill made by the subjects themselves, and His Majesty takes one every night before going to bed, which has the effect of relieving the symptoms of insomnia. ”

The inner eunuch took the medicine bottle from the mountain ghost's hand, and the emperor's eyes suddenly sparkled, and the gloom in the previous hall was swept away, and he asked happily, "I saw that you have unveiled the notice, are you completely sure that you have solved the poison epidemic?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, if you want to solve this poisonous epidemic, as long as you find out the source of the poisonous epidemic, this poisonous epidemic can be fundamentally cut off, but......people inside and outside the palace need to be willing to cooperate with the subjects."

The emperor swore an oath from the mountain ghosts, and promised again and again, "As long as the divine doctor can cure the poison epidemic, I will immediately order you and the other three to be unimpeded in the entire Tongyang City, and let them be dispatched." ”

Although the emperor was thrifty, the whole palace city was extravagant and extravagant, and the paths were winding and winding, and they followed one of the inner prisoners, walking through the different courtyards, until they finally stopped in front of a courtyard called the "Fangxin Pavilion".

The inner eunuch shook off the dust in his hand and said politely to the mountain ghost, "Your Majesty has ordered someone to clean up this courtyard, and the three of you will live in Fangxin Pavilion for the time being. ”

After looking around, the mountain ghost was quite satisfied, and bowed his head to him, "I'm tired." ”

He shook the dust in his hand again and said, "Then the slave family will not bother." ”

Xihe and Xuegu made way for him, and the inner prison stepped out of the door and walked out of the courtyard.

As soon as the person left, Xue Gu put the burden on her shoulders on the table, sat on the stool and drank a big gulp, and did not forget to sarcastically say while drinking, "Du Gongzi, I didn't expect you to be willing to give the emperor half of the throne." ”

"Aunt Xue, you don't have to say a word." Xihe stuffed the poured water cup into her hand, then poured another cup and respectfully handed it to the mountain ghost, and asked gently, "Lord mountain ghost, are you really just planning to get out after receiving Chiwu?" ”

The mountain ghost took the teacup in her hand, took a sip between his eyes, then looked at her, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"I don't think you will." She put her hands on her cheeks and smiled brightly.

He also hooked the corners of his lips.

In the evening, the inner eunuch brought a few maids to Fangxin Pavilion to send a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and Xihe and Xuegu, who had been hungry for a day, ate unceremoniously, while the mountain ghost sat quietly in front of the bookcase and read, unmoved by the fragrance of the room.

Halfway through the meal, Xihe looked at the mountain ghost sitting there alone, and couldn't bear to disturb him, but he still asked him politely, "Lord Mountain Ghost, there are a lot of delicacies sent from the palace, do you want to try it?" ”

The mountain ghost raised her eyes to see that she stuffed another mouthful of rice into her mouth, and her whole face was round and bulging, which was very cute.

He put down the scroll in his hand and got up, and replied, "No, you can eat, Benjun will go to bathe first." ”

When he came back from the bath, he happened to meet Xue Gu walking into his room, but he didn't see Xihe, and he couldn't help asking, "What about her?" ”

Xue Gu yawned and replied to him impatiently, "I'm going to the imperial dining room." ”

"Isn't there a maid? What did she do in the Imperial Dining Room? ”

"Do you think that everyone is like you, and your fingers don't touch the spring water, my junior sister is the most diligent fairy in the Heavenly Palace." With that, she slammed the door shut.

The mountain ghost had long been accustomed to her sarcasm, and he didn't care about it.

He walked out of the pavilion in the direction of the imperial dining room, and halfway through a courtyard, outside the courtyard wall grew a tall evergreen tree, but the tops of the evergreen tree were pulled by something on a windless and rainless night, making a sound of falling and falling.

He walked under the tree and looked up, and before he could see clearly, suddenly a woman fell from above, and fell into his arms, and under the bright moonlight, she looked at each other, and it was a little girl who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Who are you?" The little girl's eyes widened, and she looked at him directly, forgetting for a moment that she was still hanging in his arms.

Before she could come to her senses, there was an urgent call from a group of palace maids from within the courtyard wall, and the little girl quickly jumped off him, and after reluctantly looking back at him, she ran away in the other direction.

Then, a group of palace ladies walked in front of him, saluted him, and asked, "May I ask if Gongzi has seen Princess Zhaoyang?" ”

It turned out to be a naughty princess, the mountain ghost raised an eyebrow and pointed in the direction where she ran away, and the palace ladies thanked him and walked briskly in the direction he pointed.

As soon as I turned around, I happened to bump into Xihe who came from the imperial dining room, holding a plate in her hand, with round preserves on the plate, her sleeves were still tied around her arms, revealing two thin wrists, and the bracelet on her right hand turned a faint red.

When he saw him, Xi He's eyes lit up, and he shouted happily, "Lord Mountain Ghost! ”

The mountain ghost walked up to her, looked at the candied fruit in her hand, frowned, and asked, "That's what you're going to the imperial dining room for?" ”

Seeing her nodding her head like pounding garlic, the smile on her face was almost like an invisible honey needle piercing his heart, sweetly blocking his chest.

He secretly clenched the handle of the fan in his hand, and his voice was cold like never before, "You don't have to do such a useless thing for Benjun in the future." ”

After finishing speaking, he raised his feet and walked back, as if he couldn't hear the call of Xihe behind him, Xihe looked at the distant back, looked down at the freshly baked candied fruit on the plate, couldn't think of where he provoked him, and suddenly lost his temper.

Early the next morning, Xue Gu and Xi He went out of the palace with the mountain ghosts, and finally stopped in front of the "Royal Tomb Forest".

Xihe asked sullenly, "Lord Mountain Ghost, didn't you say that you went to detoxify the epidemic first?" Why did you come to Immortal Mountain first? ”

The mountain ghost didn't explain, but continued to lift his feet and walk inside, "You'll know when you go in." ”

The guard outside the gate saw the royal card in the hand of the mountain ghost, saluted him, and then took the key to open the locked bronze door, the imperial card in his hand was the pass token given by the emperor himself, not only in the city unimpeded but also to mobilize everyone in the city except the forbidden army.

What Ling Xihe didn't expect was that the first thing he did after getting the token was to enter the royal tomb.

After entering the door, there are hundreds of steps, which lead to the royal ancestral hall in front of you, and the backyard of the ancestral hall is the endless mountain.

They bypassed the ancestral hall and went straight to the back mountain, a layer of snow clothes covered the green body of the endless mountain, the faint morning sun was hidden by the tall mountain body, and a trace of residual light came obliquely from the halfway up the mountain, shining on the side of Xi and his feet.

"You stay here first." After the mountain ghost gave an order, he went around to the back of the mountain, and in less than a moment, he came back from the other side, with a solemn expression.

Xihe asked, "Mountain Ghost-sama, what's wrong?" ”

He said lightly, "Let's go." ”

"Didn't you come here to find Chiwu?" Xue Gu said strangely.

Seeing that they looked like they were breaking the casserole and asking the end, he said bluntly, "Chiwu is no longer here." ”
