Seventeen days later.

Li Yunxiao galloped non-stop for more than ten days before returning to Chang'an.

After returning, I returned to the house as soon as possible.

"Brother Yunxiao!"

When they came back, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were drinking tea in the pavilion, and when they saw him coming back, they all got up to greet him.

"Brother Yunxiao is back so soon?"

Li Yunxiao's palm opened, and he inhaled a cup of tea before he spoke: "What?" I'm not going to be able to come back early? ”

"Naturally not!"

"Alright, hurry up, look what this is!"

Li Yunxiao pushed the two to the pavilion and put the box on the table.

The box opened, and the crystal clear snow lotus came into the eyes of the two.

"Quick, Brother Yuan, eat a slice, and then seal it!"

Looking at Li Yunxiao, who was excited, Yuan Tiangang chuckled: "Hard work, Brother Yunxiao." ”

Li Yunxiao waved his hand: "Oh, don't grind, hurry up!" We'll have to see if it's good. ”

Yuan Tiangang nodded, picked a petal of the snow lotus and put it in his mouth, and then sat cross-legged on the ground.

Time passed quietly, and Li Yunxiao and Li Chunfeng stared at Yuan Tiangang like that.

An hour later, Yuan Tiangang's body exuded a faint cold aura, and the wounds on his face and body were condensing into frost and hanging on the blood scab at a slow speed.

After three hours, the blood scab was completely formed, and the wounds on the face healed, and it was believed that even the scars would disappear in a short time.

After another hour, the sky was getting dark, and Yuan Tiangang slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, Li Chunfeng took a cup of tea and handed it over.

After Yuan Tiangang took a sip, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Vinegar?"

"yes, don't you have a taste problem, aren't you much better now?"

"Haha... It's much better, I really don't know how to thank Brother Yunxiao, if you lose your sense of taste, life is really a big lack of fun..."

Li Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief and lay in the pavilion without any image.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, just say you let me study and study it and then take it, now you know the reason, what's the matter, don't you learn the Yin Gong method? After all, it's not a matter to always eat snow lotus control. ”

Yuan Tiangang said lightly: "Let's talk about it in the future, you have been tired for so long, have a good rest, I will go and tell Your Majesty first." ”

"Go, go, go~~" Li Yunxiao waved his hand weakly.

Li Chunfeng saw him leave, and put Wang Ba on the table on Li Yunxiao.

"I'm going... Do you really buy Wang Ba? Li Yunxiao was surprised to carry Wang Ba's tail and looked at Li Chunfeng in surprise.

"yes, do you like it? Look at which of you lives long. ”

"What? You think I can live forever, do you? ”

Li Chunfeng smiled lightly and took out a folding fan: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked~~"

He couldn't figure out whether Li Yunxiao would live forever, but he just felt like it.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Li Yunxiao frowned slightly and said, "What else can I plan, study the Yin Gong Method, and collect some alchemy medicinal materials." ”

"You can see it, the Yin Gong method is mostly an evil method, I hope Brother Yunxiao can gather the pill."

"Well, I'll get it sooner or later, anyway, it's definitely not going to work, but I have another way, I'll have to wait for someone to show up."

"Who?"

"Hey, the heavenly machine can't be leaked~~"

Li Chunfeng sneered and shook his head.

Night.

Yuan Tiangang walked back a little sadly.

He told Li Shimin about the Tianshan Snow Lotus, but Li Shimin still said the same thing, let him think about it.

....

Time passes.

Twenty-three years of Zhenguan.

Yuan Tiangang has been almost incognito in the past few years, not showing his head in the court, and bent on searching for and cultivating bad people.

In addition to improving the calendar, Li Chunfeng occasionally goes out for a few days, which is not too busy.

Li Yunxiao sent people out to look for medicine, and all the medicinal materials needed for the Immortal Pill were as many as there were for the time being, except for a few that were not available for the time being.

At the same time, he also sent Di Sha to Raojiang to find the Twelve Mountains, and by the way, he inquired about the matter of Yanxiang Gu, and made plans for future alchemy, in his opinion, just two pills were definitely not enough.

As for the royal family, in the past two years, Li Shimin's situation is not optimistic, even in the last dynasty, he began to cough violently before three sentences.

In this regard, many people persuaded him to be treated, but after Li Shimin agreed, he did not call any imperial doctors.

Now that the power is almost decentralized, Li Zhi has not only been timid, but also how to govern the country.

But he couldn't bear it, Li Zhi still relied on some ministers, such as his uncle and grandson Wuji.

Now, in order to prosecute the Zhongshu Order, he commands the three places to monopolize the government, and his power can be said to have reached its peak.

There are only three people who can be pressed on his head, one is a saint who has not been on the pilgrimage for several months, a prince who is quite dependent on him, and finally, it is naturally the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yunxiao.

Li Shimin was in a forest at this time, and a grass hut built in the forest was located halfway up the mountain.

He had been here and left poems praising the landscape.

But today, he doesn't have much energy to go outside to enjoy the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, so he can only come here occasionally for a few days, quiet and quiet.

He knew that his sequelae might be solved by the elixir, but he kept it all the time, and he didn't have much to think about.

Trample... Trample... Trample...

The sound of footsteps came from the bushes, and Li Shimin didn't reply: "Coming?" ”

"Well, here we are."

Li Yunxiao walked slowly with a grass branch in his mouth and his hands on his back, and sat next to Li Shimin.

"Just finished?"

Seeing Li Shimin's sweat on his forehead, Li Yunxiao couldn't help asking.

Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, it's interesting that you let me practice Tai Chi, you created it?" ”

"I'll just practice and play casually, there is no posture and no mental formula, when the body is just right."

"It's you, it's not good for your health to be so worried in your eyes, you can recuperate with peace of mind, maybe you can get better."

Li Shimin smiled: "Peace of mind? ”

"I just have no regrets now, how can I feel at ease..."

Li Yunxiao knew that Li Shimin was still worried about Li Zhi, so he couldn't help but say: "Everyone in the world is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, even if you teach him by hand, if he faces it alone in the future, will he be able to distinguish it?" ”

"I'm not afraid, because I still have you."

Shout!

When the words fell, Li Shimin threw out a porcelain vase and a badly handsome token.

"I have kept this token for you for more than a year, and now it is returned to its original owner, in this bottle..."

"Immortal Pill." Li Yunxiao was the first to reply.

Li Shimin nodded: "That's right, but I don't seem surprised to see you." ”

"It's not that I'm not surprised, but I haven't reacted yet."

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and then laughed.

"Yuan Tiangang has the ability to live forever, and I know that you have an excellent relationship with him, but it is not as good as the beauty of an adult, so as not to let him taste the pain of parting in the world in the future."

Li Yunxiao held the pill in his hand and said in a deep voice: "This is immortality, have you really thought it through?" ”

Li Shimin slowly stood up and looked at the clouds in the sky, the breeze blew, and the two looked a little lonely in the forest.

"Li Yunxiao, forgive me for my selfishness, in fact, if you don't feel the pain of immortality now, maybe you will complain about me in the future."

Li Yunxiao nodded: "I know, so I rarely contact anyone other than my Brother Yuan and Brother Li." ”

Li Shimin stretched out his hand slightly, blocking the sun's rays.

"I have noticed many times that someone is calling me behind me, but when I look back, in addition to the raging wind, it is the empty hall, I think it is the queen calling me, what do you think?"

"Perhaps."

Li Shimin smiled: "So, are you ready to face the pain?" ”

Li Yunxiao had already prepared for Li Shimin's summons, took out the snow lotus petals from his arms, and then poured out the elixir and wrapped it inside.

"I'm just a stranger, even though I know that immortality will have endless pain, but this is what I want most, and I have a reason to persevere..."

When the words fell, Li Yunxiao picked up the pill and put it to his mouth.

"I've been a bad person ever since... It is also not returned! ”
