Returning to Zheshan with Biaozi, the first thing was to find several interested mountain boys to follow Biaozi to look for iron ore nearby, Su Su didn't know if it was because he was tired of watching the girls on the mountain these days, or he felt a little bored by teaching kendo all day, and finally followed Biaozi.

To be honest, with Su Su here, Gu Meng is also a lot more relieved.

After solving the problem of this sword, Gu Meng turned to think about the problem of the elixir.

In this world, there is no sect in the cultivation world that does not issue pills to disciples who have just gone up the mountain, these pills have different effects, the sect is larger, the types of pills will be more, and the sect is smaller, there will be less, but no matter what, it is normal for ordinary disciples to go up the mountain, and the sect will issue a calming pill and a solid pill.

Gu Meng thought of this, in fact, he also had a headache, when he went up the mountain by himself, he had never had such a thing.

But now that he is in charge of Zheshan, if he doesn't solve this kind of thing, does he expect others to solve it?

But now there are not many choices in front of him, only two.

Either you don't have to go to the black market in the cultivation world to buy pills, or you can get some elixirs and build a medicine garden in Zheshan by yourself, and then go to find an alchemy master to get this thing done first.

The former is of course simpler, while the latter is more annoying than the former, both in terms of time and hassle.

Gu Meng said to himself: "A hammer deal is still a hammer deal, and you still have to start from the long run." ”

Although the decision was made, it was not so simple, because whether it was to buy elixir planting or buying elixir, it required money.

This money is different from the money of ordinary people, it is a common currency in the cultivation world, and it is affectionately called Jade Crystal by cultivators.

In the past to practice swords, Gu Meng has never used pills, the sword is the treasure of Zheshan, and he has never used the jade crystal, let alone him, the entire Zheshan, I'm afraid no one has such a jade crystal.

It is a kind of ore produced in the deep sea in the north, which has the effect of stabilizing the mind, and there is no problem even using it to make magic weapons, precisely because there are many functions, and they are all beneficial to practitioners, so after that, the cultivation world has conventionally regarded it as a circulating currency.

It can be used to buy magic weapons, or pills.

In fact, only small sects will think about taking jade crystals to buy what they need, and the real big sects already have a complete set of industries, whether it is magic weapons or pills, there is absolutely no need to buy them.

Gu Meng wanted an elixir, so he could only go to the black market to buy it.

However, he soon thought of another problem, planting elixir requires the abundance of heaven and earth qi to allow the elixir to grow, but up and down this mountain, all of them are stones, how to plant them?

It's also a lot of trouble.

What should I do if I buy an elixir?

There is no grass growing on this mountain, and they still expect the elixir to be born here.

This problem Gu Luo couldn't solve, so he soon went to the back mountain.

Chang Yi Zhenren was drinking in front of the hut, and after seeing Gu Ming, the former head of the mountain frowned, "I knew that you kid said a bunch of before, so it was just." ”

Gu Meng smiled, first said a few words to appease himself, the master, and then talked about everything he was doing these days, and finally raised his own question.

Chang Yi Zhenren squinted slightly, and said: "You kid's master is in full swing, and the Sword Casting Hall has been built, or it won't be long, if you don't say anything else, if you have this idea, you are a good master, better than me!"

Gu Meng patted his ass and said, "Master is still more powerful, there is no problem with this, you still have to come to Master?"

Chang Zhizhen waved his hand, and he didn't bother to go around in circles with his little apprentice, and said bluntly: "Back then, there were 30,000 sword cultivators in Zheshan, and the sword aura was soaring, which made the grass and trees up and down Zheshan not grow, fortunately, at that time, Zheshan didn't think about the pill, naturally someone else sent it, don't worry, when you become the head of the sect and meet the worst time in Zheshan, come and think about it, in fact, it's nothing, Zheshan has been in decline for hundreds of years, and those sword qi have long since dissipated, do you think that the grass and trees in Zheshan are not growing now, or because of the sword qi?"

Gu Meng frowned and said, "What's the reason for that?"

Chang Yi Zhenren smiled: "That's because no one planted it." ”

That's a good answer. Gu Meng tilted his head, a black line.

"I still have a question, Master, do you have any jade crystals?"

"People of my generation who are cultivating, where did you get this thing?"

Chang Yi Zhenren patted Gu Ming's shoulder, and said seriously: "I know that you still have a lot of things that you can't solve, but that still needs you to work hard, do it well, in the future in the annals of Zheshan, your name, maybe it can be compared with the patriarch of the Kaipai, even if you can't, it's not much worse, but if you can't solve it, you can't solve it, don't always come to trouble as a teacher......"

The previous words can be understood as nonsense, and the last sentence is the point.

Gu Meng scolded and left from the back mountain, and finally returned to the bamboo building, only then did he think carefully about the next things.

Since the medicine you want can be grown on the mountain, then at this time, you should think about how to buy medicine for Yujing and how to find an alchemy master to go up the mountain.

If you want to exchange some jade crystals in the black market, this is not a big deal, Gu Meng has many treasures in his hands, such as the dragon fish, I am afraid that I can exchange it for a sword court if I take it out.

It's just that probably no one will exchange Yujing for it, but kill Gu Meng directly.

This thing is too precious.

Thinking of this, Gu Meng took out the lotus seed in his arms, put it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefully, there was no real dragon in the world, that is, the lotus seed he found in the emperor's tomb, and there were two dragon fish in it.

One green and one white.

Now there are strange beasts with real dragon blood in the world, I am afraid that these two dragon fish, the rarity is naturally self-evident, as for whether it is possible that these two dragon fish will one day become real dragons, that is fate.

Originally, Gu Meng still thought that after returning to the mountain, he would put this dragon fish in the stream on the mountain and go with those fish, but now that there are so many disciples on the mountain, Gu Meng dispelled this idea.

Being a man is not public, it is the most important thing.

Put away this lotus seed, he was a little melancholy, and then he realized that the penny in the book was difficult for a hero.

That's not bad.

was melancholy, Song Ning somehow touched here, holding a booklet in his hand, now this young man under the mountain has officially started to practice, and he can be regarded as a cultivator.

"Uncle Junior, I found you what you wanted!"

Song Ning rushed to take the booklet in his hand and pushed the door in.

Gu Meng took the booklet, and he was not in the mood to say something at this time, but he just flipped through it casually for a while, and Song Ning's ability to observe words and emotions was not bad at all.

He cautiously asked, "Little Uncle, is there anything that can't be solved?"

Gu Meng glanced at him, frowned, and said, "I want to buy something, I don't have money, what should I do?"

Song Ning was stunned and said, "Uncle Xiao is still short of money?"

According to his thoughts, Uncle Xiao is one of the most famous people in the world today, how can such a person still lack money?

"I'll just tell you, I'm not a little bit short, it's not a little bit. Gu Meng gritted his teeth and said, "How can I be so poor?"

Song Ning opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything.

He just felt that Uncle Xiao seemed to have a problem with his brain.

Gu Meng thought about it a lot, but decided to go down the mountain.

Song Ning originally wanted to ask a few questions, but looking at Gu Ming's appearance, he didn't want to provoke Uncle Xiao, and after returning from his own interest, Gu Meng left the bamboo building and went to find Ah San.

Along the way, many disciples met Gu Ming, all of them stood respectfully on the side of the road, calling Uncle Xiao seriously, and even some girls were a little distracted when they looked at Gu Ming.

After all, this little uncle of theirs is really good-looking.

Gu Meng walked for a while and met a girl on the side of the road, who shouted respectfully, "Little uncle." ”

Gu Meng snorted.

He glanced at the girl and asked, "What are you doing?"

The girl held a handful of seeds in her hand, listened to Gu Ming's question, spread it out a little embarrassed, and said cautiously: "I saw that the mountain was bare, so I wanted to plant the wildflower seeds brought from the bottom of the mountain, which would look better." ”

Gu Meng smiled and said, "What kind of flower seed?"

"I can't tell you what it's all about, it's all wildflowers, everything. ”

The girl was a little embarrassed, her qualifications were not very good, before Gu Meng taught them to practice swords, she actually didn't understand a lot of things, but she was thin-skinned, and she was embarrassed to say that her progress was much slower than that of other disciples.

Gu Meng picked up a seed from her palm at random and said, "Give this one to me, and plant the rest where it is suitable, by the way, what did you do before you went up the mountain?"

The girl whispered, "Flower seller." ”

Gu Meng asked curiously, "Then why do you want to practice swords, do you really like it?"

The people who go up the mountain, whether they have been invited down the mountain before, or those who stay on the mountain at the moment, always have some reasons, and they definitely don't just like to practice swords.

The girl lowered her head and did not speak, but her eyes were already full of tears.

Gu Meng smiled bitterly: "Uncle Xiao is not a man-eating monster, and he will not drive you down the mountain, just ask casually, and forget it if you don't want to say it." ”

Hearing this, the girl slowly raised her head and whispered: "Originally, I didn't like to practice swords, I couldn't afford to eat, no one bought flowers, and someone bullied me. ”

If you look at it according to Gu Ming, this reason is indeed wonderful, but the disciples who go up the mountain must have even more strange reasons.

Gu Meng said: "Then you like to raise flowers?"

The girl nodded, "I like it the most." ”

Gu Meng asked, "What about that medicine?" ”

The girl also nodded, tending to the flowers and plants, which has always been her favorite thing to do.

Gu Meng was very satisfied, this was a surprise, although the matter of the elixir had not yet been resolved, but the matter of this medicine was settled.

Gu Meng asked, "What's your name?"

The girl raised her head and said softly, "Liu Wan." ”

"The evening mountain eyebrows are green, and the autumn water is as bright as a mirror. ”

Gu Meng smiled and said: "I remember you, if you don't like sword practice, you don't like it, it's okay, after a while, I'll find something you like to do, waiting for me." ”

Liu Wan hummed and said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Xiao." ”

Gu Meng waved his hand and did not speak.

He walked into the distance, and Liu Wan kept reciting the poem Gu Meng said before, thinking it was very good.

......

......

Ah Sang has been cultivating in the mountains these days, although she also has dozens of disciples in name, but it is not her own concern, it is all Gu Ming's worry, so she is the same as before, and nothing has changed.

After the meeting, get straight to the point.

Just hearing him say so much, Ahsan never spoke.

Gu Meng scratched his head and said, "Senior sister, do you have anything to say?"

Ah Sang shook his head, "If you want money or not, what else do I have to say?"

"You can't let the little junior brother rob it, right?"

Ah Sang teased: "This kind of thing has to be taken care of by the master." ”

Gu Meng patted his ass and stood up, and said with some resentment: "Senior sister is not the senior sister at the beginning." ”

Ahsan didn't speak.

Just silence.

Gu Meng gritted his teeth and said, "Senior sister, there are no valuable treasures?"

Ahsan shook his head.

Gu Meng sighed, "Before I was in the imperial tomb, senior sister didn't go to find something?"

"I just think about looking for you, where do I have time to find anything else. ”

Gu Meng held his forehead and said uncomfortably: "Then what should I do now?"

——

Emperor Ning Qi, who was without Zhu Yan's company, continued to head east with his red hair.

The red hair was conscientious, and he didn't slack off on Emperor Ning Qi as if he was a thousand years ago.

"Do you know why I put Zhu Yan next to Liang Zhao instead of you?"

On this day, Emperor Ning Qi and Red Hair came to a big river, looking at a piece of river, Emperor Ning Qi suddenly opened his mouth and smiled shallowly.

Red hair shook his head and said, "The minister guessed some, but it's hard to say." ”

Emperor Ning Qi was dressed in white and swayed with the river breeze, looking really like an immortal in the world, he smiled and said: "I look at Zhu Yan, of course I can see clearly, as long as he has a chance of seven or eight points, he will definitely want to get rid of me, he is a person, he never thought of staying by my side for the rest of his life, but it is not that I want to force him to stay, the thing he did at the beginning, if he didn't pay off the debt by my side, he would have been slapped to death by me." ”

Thousands of years ago, a strange beast suddenly appeared in the south of the Daning Dynasty, disturbing the people, and even slaughtering an entire town as many as a thousand people.

The Daning Dynasty sent cultivators to arrest them, and many of them died.

Later, it was Emperor Ning Qi who personally ordered several masters to go together, and then Zhu Yan was arrested, and after being caught in Zhaotian City, Emperor Ning Qi personally came forward, and there were only two choices in front of Zhu Yan at that time.

Either choose to serve Daning to atone for your sins, or kill them directly.

Zhu Yan swore a poisonous oath at the beginning, saying that he would always be the head of Emperor Ning Qi.

As for the red hair, it's actually about the same, these two beasts weren't good people back then.

The red hair was silent for a while, and then whispered: "What Your Majesty wants to pursue is the real avenue, the minister just wants to be free, and so does Zhu Yan, so the minister doesn't think that Zhu Yan has a problem with this idea now, it's just that he will go, if he wants to harm His Majesty, it is absolutely undesirable." ”

Emperor Ning Qi was noncommittal, but said: "Liang Zhao and Zhu Yan, one is deep in the city, the other is insidious and vicious, in fact, they are very compatible, but I sent him to Liang Zhao's side, not for anything else, I just don't want to see Zhu Yan, Zhu Yan wants to leave now, it's not impossible, it's just that I'm afraid that after he leaves, the beast nature will still be the same, I am not the me of a thousand years ago, he is not the him of a thousand years ago, if there is no means of restraint, it will be very troublesome." ”

It seems to be honest, but Chifa also knows that these words are far from sincere, this Emperor Ning Qi really can't be easily believed.

Emperor Ning Qi looked at Da Jiang and suddenly said, "Do you remember the battle in Mobei back then?"

Red hair nodded, "Chen still remembers that the danger of that battle should be in the top three." ”

At the beginning, the Daning Dynasty was initially decided, and after the annihilation of a number of small countries, the Daning Dynasty was officially established, but at this moment, those remnants of the dead country united with a large group of strong cultivators, and there was a trend of burning the prairie in Mobei.

At the beginning, Emperor Ning Qi personally conquered Mobei, and he killed him in the dark, and the danger was no less than every bloody battle he had experienced before.

In that big battle, Chifa once disregarded life and death for Emperor Ning Qi, and hard-chiseled a battle formation composed of countless cultivation powerhouses.

It wasn't your average battlefield fight.

Rather, it is a tens of millions of soldiers composed of countless cultivators.

Just as soon as he started fighting, he fell into an extremely dangerous situation.

"In my life, I have experienced countless bloody battles, but only two battles have made me feel haunted by dreams to this day, the first battle in Mobei, and the first battle with those barbarians overseas. ”

Emperor Ning Qi smiled and said: "I remember that there was a sentence in the original word 'the old man talks about the madness of youth', and I have always been unable to figure out why it is a sentence praised by the world, and then I understand, it turns out that a cultivator like me, since he is not old, he can't see the true meaning in it, and now that he is old, he also understands." ”

The red hair said calmly: "Your Majesty has just been reborn, why is he old." ”

Emperor Ning Qi said: "My body is fine, but I am a little old in my heart, and now I will sit on the position of Ning Guojun, I am unwilling, if it was a thousand years ago, it would naturally not be like this." ”

The red hair was silent for a while, and finally opened his mouth, but still did not speak.

"I know what you're thinking, you're thinking, since I said that I don't care about these things anymore, why did I have to see Liang Zhao before and do these things, but in fact it's very simple, I have some hardships, but I can't tell you clearly, but you can think for yourself, and you can do something, but I don't guarantee what the final outcome will be. ”

Red hair said: "The minister will never make a move on His Majesty. ”

Emperor Ning Qi smiled and said, "I have a question, in fact, I have always wanted to ask. ”

"Your Majesty, excuse me. ”

"If I and Gu Meng were both the same age, in front of you, who would you choose?"

Emperor Ning Qi knew that Red Hair had dealt with Gu Ming, so he asked such a question.

Redhead didn't speak.

When a superior person speaks, it can never just be a small talk with you, there are many things hidden in words, and if you are not careful, it is easy to have an accident.

Red hair is cautious, so he doesn't make a choice.

"Your Majesty thinks that child can already be compared to Your Majesty?"

Emperor Ning Qi was puzzled: "Why not, he is bleeding my blood, one day, it is very simple to enter the Golden Gate, and it is not too difficult to come to the Golden Gate." ”

The red hair shook his head and said, "What the minister said is not a matter of cultivation. ”

Emperor Ning Qi said: "If you are talking about something else, it is difficult to say, if this child can take care of Zheshan and stand in this troubled world, it will not be bad, but this child, whether he has ambition or not, no one can say." ”

Redhead smiles.

Emperor Ning Qi shook his head, "Forget it, no one cares about the affairs of the children and grandchildren, I don't know how many generations of children and grandchildren there are, I don't worry about it." ”

Red Hair asked, "Then where is Your Majesty going at this moment?"

Emperor Ning Qi said: "All the way to the east, I am going to see the tide of the East China Sea. ”

——

Gu Meng didn't get what he wanted from Ah San, but he wasn't too discouraged, and after returning to the bamboo building, although the master of Zheshan was still melancholy, he quickly came out of his melancholy.

Because at this time Biaozi is back.

He came back with Su Su, and he also brought a very good news, that is, in the mountain near the back of the mountain, there was an iron mine, and it was not ordinary pig iron, but black iron.

That's the most basic material for building a sword cultivation sword.

In other words, only a sword forged from this material can withstand the sword qi of sword cultivation, but this kind of material cannot be a good thing.

In order to forge a good sword, you also need to add various things to it.

Maybe just use a better material.

However, Zheshan has just set sail at the moment, so it's good to have it, so you don't have to pick.

Biao Zi said excitedly: "That iron mine can at least cast 10,000 swords, and the master really didn't lie to me." ”

Gu Meng smiled and said nothing.

Su Su shook his head and said: "It's an ordinary sword, if you want to forge a good sword, you also need other natural treasures, I heard that there is a kind of deep-sea cold iron at the bottom of the North Sea, because it has been in the snow sea for a long time, it is extremely hard, and it is used to cast a sword, which is very good, but this thing has been in the North Sea, but few people dare to find it to cast a sword." ”

Gu Meng listened in his heart and did not speak.

If this thing was in Xihai, he would go directly, after all, Xihai was nominally Liang's territory at this time, and he, as half of his apprentice, would have no problem going to this place.

But that thing in Beihai, it's not that there is no way, his relationship with Liuyi is not bad, write a letter and ask when the time comes?

asked a few more questions, and finally Gu Meng asked Biaozi to let go of his hand, and after he left, he said a few words to Su Su.

Su Su raised his eyebrows and said: "These flowers and plants are not cheap, Xiao Gu wants to build a medicine garden, it is not simple, especially you guy, you are still a real poor ghost." ”

Gu Meng smiled and asked, "Then you will lend me some money first?"

Su Su said with a serious face: "Do you think I will be rich?"

Gu Meng said: "The innate sword embryo of the Sword Pavilion will have no money?"

Su Su shook his mouth and said, "Logically speaking, I should be rich, but what do I do with this thing, what do I want?

Gu Meng opened his mouth, and then punched Su Su in the chest.

Su Su retreated a few steps and said angrily: "You are crazy, what are you doing beating me?!"

Gu Mingpi didn't smile, "Underwhelming." ”
