Chapter 338: The End of the Year in Hongmen! Longevity Wuji Festival Wuzhuang (5K Chapter)
It is difficult to stay in spring, it is difficult to stay in autumn, and it is difficult to stay until winter is full of frost, and the bright moon shines on the empty building.
In the blink of an eye, the snow in the capital this year has come earlier than usual.
It's still early to count nine, but the wind with snow foam is already blowing like a knife.
Since Wanjie Mountain came back, more than a month has passed.
At the end of the year, Li Mo was a lot more idle, and it was expected that the demons in Guixu would also have to pass the New Year's Pass.
On weekdays, in addition to cultivating, Li Mo is to comprehend the [Natural Spirit Pool], which is much easier than retreating and cultivating, integrating this treasure and stepping into the [Chengmiao Realm].
The most important thing is that the natural spirit pool is a part of the [Holy Creation], and the mountains and seas dantian, if it enters the human body, the achievements are immeasurably vast, and it must be much more powerful than the ordinary [Seedling Realm].
Especially when impacting the [Mai Miao Realm] in the future, the [Spirit Domain] that you want to awaken will definitely be extraordinary.
Therefore, after Li Mo came back, he cultivated the [Mixed Yuan True Demon Skill] and the [Heaven Swallowing Demon Skill], hoping to use these two great Xuan Gong to fuse the [Natural Spirit Pool].
However, this thing is very powerful, with Li Mo's body, after several attempts to return, it was useless, and even almost injured Ling Miao.
Fortunately, Li Mo's spirit seedlings were cultivated by the [Nine Lives Method], and they were protected by the [Xuantian Dao Fetal Qi], and all kinds of chances, although there were risks, but they gradually developed an induction with the [Natural Spirit Pool] in the exploration.
For this reason, Li Mo spared no expense to use the pure yang pill to give birth to spiritual seedlings and expand the dantian.
I have to say that the innate medicine, with the breath of primordial ignorance, Wang Mingzhou's five pure yang pills have made Li Mo gain a lot of benefits, and the spirit rhino has been condensed and transformed twice, and even the physical body is much stronger.
It has invisibly accelerated the pace of refining the [Natural Spirit Pool].
For this reason, Li Mo applied to the museum if he could exchange all his monthly income and benefits for pure yang pills.
However, the Pure Yang Pill is extremely precious, and it is extremely useful to improve cultivation, strengthen the physical body, prolong life, alchemy medicine, and even ignite weapons.
It took nearly half a month just to approve the process.
That's why Li Mo went through the back door and trusted Wang Lingce's relationship.
To this end, he sent one of the feathered arrows of the [Nine Cold Black Manta Crossbow] out.
You must know that when he obtained this treasure, he only had three feather arrows in total, and he had already used one of them when he dealt with the Six Divine Daoists in Wanjie Mountain.
A single feather arrow is quite troublesome to build, requiring the use of high-quality blood-streaked steel, which is quenched from the essence and blood of a cultivator, and is extremely precious.
The feather arrow sent by Li Mo was no less than a first-grade rune weapon.
In this way, Fang Cai smoothly completed the process, converting his monthly income and various benefits into pure yang pills.
With Li Mo's current official position, the monthly salary is not much, but various benefits such as pill fees, equipment maintenance fees, carriage and horse expenses, social expenses, etc., add up to more than 3,000 taels of silver.
In the end, there were only six pure yang pills in hand.
"Converted, nearly six hundred taels of silver?" Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.
Six hundred taels of silver, if it is enough for an ordinary family to live for ten years in Longyuan Mansion.
Even so, this is because of his status as a [Hongmen Overseer], if he is placed on the black market, he may not be able to buy one thousand taels or one.
Of course, ordinary monks, especially when they reach the [Shangmiao Realm], will only exchange silver for pure yang pills, and they will definitely not be stupid enough to exchange pure yang pills for silver.
"Six pills a month, barely enough." Li Mo muttered softly.
At the current rate, in three months at most, he will be able to completely fuse the [Natural Spirit Pool] with the kung fu of water milling.
"You're so warm here."
In front of the Dragon Pavilion, there was a row of footprints left on the snow-covered road, Li Mo pushed the door in, and the howling north wind mixed with snow foam poured in.
In the copper furnace of the beast's head ring, the charcoal fire was crushed, and the red flame was high in the wind, but it was never extinguished.
Li Mo closed the door and instantly felt a lot warmer.
The little guy next to him hurriedly stepped forward and took off his robe for his snow.
"It's good anywhere in the capital, it's just too cold."
Ji Shi was holding a "soup woman" in his arms, looking a little out of spirit.
Since being rejected by Yan Zixia, this prince of Zhennan seems to have lost a lot of interest in life.
"You are a beast gold charcoal, I heard that only the palace can use it."
Li Mo sat down and looked at the charcoal fire burning in the copper furnace.
Beast gold charcoal, is the royal court, it is said that when firing, dozens of kinds of medicine are added, not only is there not a little smoke when used, but there is a faint smell of rosin.
Once lit, half a cup of tea will make the room warm as spring.
This charcoal fire is difficult to extinguish even if it is placed outside the house in the wind and snow, so it is very valuable and has always been used by the palace.
Like Li Mo in the Xuantian Pavilion, he can also receive five hundred catties of charcoal every month, but it is silver dust charcoal, although it is not ordinary charcoal, and there is little smoke when used, but it cannot be compared with beast gold carbon.
"I'll have someone give you a thousand catties when I go back." Ji Shi said casually.
The food and clothing of the Zhennan Palace's in the capital are all handled by Ouchi, and if you say a word of arrogance, it is really no worse than the emperor's use, and it can be regarded as the honor of the heavenly family.
"You're really rich." Li Mo pursed his lips and said.
If this thousand catties of beast gold charcoal are put on the black market, I don't know what kind of high price it will sell.
It's a pity that this is a thing for the royal court, and those wealthy families don't dare to buy it even if they have silver.
"What kind of money am I?"
Ji Shi said coldly: "The East China Sea Wang Clan...... I heard that their family burns [Jiao Fat] every winter, which is called wealth. ”
The so-called [Jiao Fat] is the fat of a giant fish in the East China Sea, this Jiao fish has dragon whiskers, scale armor like steel, once the demon, the fat in the body will become crystal clear, not only can be used in medicine, once burned, the heating effect is still on the beast gold charcoal.
In particular, the accompanying foreign fragrance, if you smell it all year round, it has the effect of prolonging the life and dispelling the disease.
Therefore, this kind of [Jiao Fat] is also called liquid gold.
"I heard that when you were a child, you killed their cubs?" Li Mo smiled.
The world's families are entrenched in one side, like the princes in the country, with more than a thousand years of inheritance, huge power, and intertwined, and even the imperial court is extremely cautious about it.
The king of Zhennan sits in the southeast, and the intersection of the East China Sea Wang clan is opposed, and the game and battle are indispensable in the open and in the dark.
"Bad luck!"
Ji Shi glanced at him and took a hard sip of the charcoal fire in the copper furnace.
Back then, because of this incident, he was sent to the capital and left home......
For this reason, Ji Shi was very disgusted with the East China Sea Wang Clan.
"I heard that two cubs of the Wang family died in Wanjie Mountain......"
Suddenly, Ji Shi changed his words and looked at Li Limo.
"You killed one of them?"
"This ......"
"Well done." Ji Shi slapped his thigh.
Back then, when he was still young, he was besieged by a gang of cubs of the Wang family, and finally had no choice but to pick up a chessboard and smash one of them to death.
Among the little cubs who besieged him, there were the three brothers of the Wang family.
"You're well-informed." Li Mo said lightly.
"You have to be careful...... These three cubs, one litter, triplets...... You're the boss you're killing, and it's useless. Master Ji reminded.
"The second king has some ability to see the mountain, but unfortunately he also died."
"The only thing that misses the scourge of the third child is missing."
Ji Shi's eyes condensed slightly, and a cold color flashed: "Wang Yulou...... He is the most talented and vicious of the three brothers......"
"Wang Yulou!?" Li Mo chewed on the name.
"You have to be careful...... This person is also in the Xuantian Pavilion now, and you will all meet sooner or later. ”
"I heard that the Wang family is very close to the Seventeenth Prince?"
Li Mo heard Chen Pingping mention that because of the death of Yuan Changqing and the Infinite Sword Race, the three brothers of the Wang family are now acting as a helper by the side of the Seventeenth Prince.
Who would have thought that two would die just after entering Beijing.
"You are also very well-informed, all the families in the world will have some dealings with the prince openly and secretly, and the East China Sea Wang family has the closest relationship with Lao Seventeen."
Speaking of this, Ji Shi put down the "Tang Pozi" in his hand and approached Li Mo.
"I heard that Lao Seventeen has cultivated an evil martial art, and he can change his shape and bones and act as someone else, and now he is also in the Xuantian Pavilion."
When Li Mo heard this, he was silent.
He had also heard this rumor that the Seventeenth Prince had changed his identity and was also serving in the Xuantian Pavilion.
As for who he is, no one knows.
"Do you know who he is?"
"I don't know...... Anyone can be a man, it can be a woman, it can be a young man, it can be an old man......"
Ji Shi shook his head: "In short, anyone is possible." ”
"My father said that among the princes, although the eldest seventeen is the youngest, he is extremely blessed."
"Why?"
"Because he entered the [Eight Views Palace] when he was very young, and he saw that [Xuantian Dao Seed] ......"
At this point, Ji Shi paused slightly: "So you are on an errand in Xuantian Pavilion, you should be careful......"
"Wang Yulou has become Lao Seventeen's henchman, and if you can't keep it, I will make you stumble one day."
"What? Do they have a good relationship with their brothers? ”
"That's not it...... But who let you kill the people of the Wang family? Ji Shi said lightly: "Even if the Wang family dies and a dog must be accompanied by someone, let alone a person?" ”
As he spoke, Ji Shi slowly stood up and walked to the bookcase.
"Of course, you don't have to be afraid...... If they dare to touch you, I will settle the old and new accounts together. ”
"Hehe, I'm afraid they won't move me." Li Mo sneered.
"Hahaha, you stinky shameless."
Ji Shi laughed, took out pen and ink, and spread out a peach blossom note.
"I heard that your father has entered Beijing?" Li Mo changed his words and suddenly asked.
"Well, it's been a month since I entered Beijing, and it's really strange that the palace hasn't summoned me for a long time."
Ji Shi had just picked up the pen, and when he thought of this, his brows couldn't help frowning.
According to the usual practice, the entry of King Zhennan into Beijing is a major event in the palace, and Emperor Qiandi will summon him at the first time, but now it has been more than a month, and there is no will in the palace, which is really a bit abnormal.
"I have a chance to introduce you to the ...... Counting it, our old man has not come to the capital for 18 years. Ji Shi sighed.
As far as he knew, the last time the king of Zhennan was in Beijing was eighteen years ago, when the capital was on fire, and since then, this lord has never left the southeast town for half a step.
"It's fine." Li Mo nodded, he was also quite curious about the only king with a different surname in the rumored Daqian.
"At the end of the year, there is nothing to do, you can call me at any time."
"Idle?"
Ji Shi smiled: "You have been in the Xuantian Pavilion for so long, don't you know that at the end of the year, you Hongmen will be the busiest?" ”
"Huh!? Why is that? Li Mo was stunned.
"At the end of the year, the achievements of each yamen in a year have to be revealed...... It's about spending next year's finances......" Ji Shi grinned lightly.
"Did you know...... How much silver do you Hongmen burn in the imperial court every year? ”
"With such a reputation outside, if you don't make some achievements at the end of the year...... Can Hongmen stand for so many years without falling? ”
"You mean......" Li Mo moved.
"You Hongmen have a thick stack of lists in your hands, just waiting for the end of each year to slaughter fat sheep......
When the words fell, Li Mo couldn't help but show a sudden look.
This method is so familiar, just like many places that spend money to buy love, the prosperity of weekdays is for the harvest at the end of the year, and the harvest at the end of the year is for the positive and brilliant achievements.
I raised you not to let you get away with it, but to make you qualified to be my Ascending Stone.
"Justice will be late, and it will never be absent." Li Mo couldn't help but sigh.
"Hongmen has been dealing with Guixu for so many years...... You don't really think it's just an oil and water yamen. ”
Ji Shi smiled and picked up the pen and splashed ink on the peach blossom paper.
"Look, the day when you meet the Returning Ruins Demon is not far off."
"It's a great opportunity to climb up."
Li Mo thought for a moment, stood up, and walked to the side of Ji Shi.
"What are you writing about?"
"Last night, I traveled to Changming Lake at night with the daughter of the Hua family, and I occasionally felt it, and expressed my feelings...... "Ji Shi was engrossed and didn't raise his head.
Li Mo looked over and saw two lines of small characters written on the peach blossom note:
The lake is under the moon, and the moon is inside the lake.
You are in charge of below, and I am in you.
The payment is [Moonlit Night Canalist].
"This ......"
"Someone...... Send it to the daughter of the flower family. ”
As he spoke, Master Ji put the peach blossom letter into the sachet and handed it over to the little guy next to him.
"The scum of the world."
Li Mo sighed, got up and walked out the door.
"How did you go? Stay for a meal...... Call Lao Feng...... Old wine ...... fresh out of the cellar"
"Eat your daddy...... Turn around and ask someone to send me a thousand catties of beast gold charcoal. ”
Li Mo pushed open the door, the wind and snow swished into the door, and the outside was covered with snow and frost.
……
The eastern suburbs of the capital.
In the cold winter in the mountains, even those graves that no one cares about are covered with snow, and at first glance they look like white steamed buns, just out of the cage.
At this moment, a towering tree in the cold wind and snow is actually a dead wood in spring, the branches and leaves are spreading, and the luster of green oil is shining, and the snowflakes floating in the sky can not even be touched by a slight, and the vigorous vitality is full of vitality.
Even the temperature around the trees is warm and humid, and there are even insects and ants busy in the loose soil.
Airplanes......
Under the towering tree, a bald young man sat down, and it was Wang Jiu.
The robe made a hunting sound, and the bulging waves of qi glowed with a faint gold, causing the dead leaves of the trees behind him to fall one after another, giving birth to new green shoots.
The little fox lay beside him, looking up lazily.
In this harsh winter day, only when Wang Jiu cultivated, the surroundings were the warmest.
Therefore, among the group of demons and ghosts under the mountain, the little fox would rather follow Wang Jiu's cultivation.
Wang Jiu's cultivation is [Longevity Wuji Gong], every time he exercises, vitality suddenly appears, yin and yang are integrated, and there seems to be an endless magic of creation, and even in this cold winter, let the dead wood spring and be warm and cold.
Thundered......
At this moment, a deafening sound came from Wang Jiu's body, like a spring thunder shock, full of vitality.
Cracks emerged in the surrounding land, spreading continuously.
"It's in a different land?"
The little fox raised its neck and stared at Wang Jiu deadly, revealing a strange expression.
It has heard that whether it is a human being, or a demon or a ghost, if you go out of the path that no one has traveled before, you will have a vision, such as entering a different world, although it is in heaven and earth, but it is outside the law.
At this moment, the golden air flow around Wang Jiu's body became more and more dim, but there seemed to be a Xuanguang in his body, with five colors, corresponding to the five internal organs.
His five internal organs seem to have stepped into another level, which is more mysterious than the return of the five internal organs of the human [Living Miao Realm].
It is not only the transformation and strengthening of the organs, but also the hidden divine consciousness, there is no cave, and the sound of chanting can even be heard faintly.
Thundered......
Suddenly, all visions dissipated.
Wang Jiu slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a lot of energy in his deep eyes, which was fleeting.
He took a deep breath, but he felt a calmer than ever.
"You broke through?"
The little fox came over and couldn't help but say.
"Hey, there's something to gain." Wang Jiu grinned and didn't say much.
"What exercises have you cultivated? So special? The trees are alive......"
The little fox looked at the big tree with branches and leaves, but it looked extremely different in this cold winter, without Wang Jiu's blessing, the big tree gradually dimmed.
"Exercises for health preservation...... It's useless, it's just that you can get it for a long time. Wang Jiu said with a smile.
The little fox glanced at him: "Everyone in our family says that living too long is not necessarily a good thing. ”
"That's not necessarily, the world says that the gods are good, just because the gods don't get old...... When I succeed in cultivating in the future, I will open a mountain, and it will be called ......"
Wang Jiu's eyes rolled: "Wanshou Mountain." ”
"Set up another Taoist temple on the mountain, and worship by incense from all directions."
"Hahaha...... Little monster, you are really a toad yawning and blowing nonsense. ”
At this moment, a burst of laughter rang out violently in the deep mountains, not knowing where to come from, not knowing where to go, as if it was spreading everywhere and everywhere.
"Who?"
Wang Jiu's eyes were slightly downcast, and he stepped out in one step, blocking in front of the little fox, looking around vigilantly.
"Little monster, I see that you have a bit of wisdom, it is better to worship under my door, it is better than having a spring and autumn dream of honoring the Taoist ancestor here."
The loud laughter sounded again, and with Wang Jiu's ability, he couldn't even determine the other party's location for a while.
"Who are you? What can I teach? Wang Jiu sneered.
"Little monster, you are unruly...... the man sneered, but the sense of oppression that permeated the wind and snow in the sky and earth became stronger and stronger.
"How many ways do you practice, which method have you cultivated?"
"Me!?"
Wang Jiu's gaze froze, and he looked down at himself, and in his gaze, his body seemed to become clear and void, only five clouds of mysterious light flickered.
Human writing is broad and profound, especially the dirty characters of the five internal organs, which are used wonderfully.
In the ancient Taoist books, the word dirty is to add a village next to the meat, which is combined into dirty.
The spirit and flesh are the village, the five internal organs hide the gods, and the subtleties are studied deeply, and the longevity is boundless.
"You've listened up......"
At this moment, Wang Jiu's fists were clenched, as if he had exhausted the qi in his chest, and the macro sound was rolling, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Flesh and blood hide the gods as Lingzhuang, and I was born to look at the hidden things.
You asked me what the method of cultivation is, and the longevity of Wuji sacrifices to Wuzhuang.
