Chapter Forty-Eight: The Fall of the Ascendant
The imperial envoy brought the order, and Ah Tao and Cangzhi did not have the strength to disobey.
Moreover, the monk Wuhua is also in the national capital, and if we can meet, we can solve Yan'er's affairs, so Ah Tao did not hesitate to accept the order.
Cangzhi was the same, but it took half an hour to ask the imperial envoy, and when she settled the matter here, she left.
*
Vientiane City is the most remote town in Wanze Country, but stepping on the back of the Dapeng Goldfinch Bird, it will only take a day's work.
The envoy of the imperial court arranged Ah Tao and Cangzhi in a post station fifty miles away from the national capital.
From time to time, other royal envoys would move in with monks who had been to the Virgin's Treasure Land.
Ah Tao thought that someone would ask them soon, but there were just people who kept staying in the inn, and no one was called out to ask.
The inn soon became lively, but most of the monks only interacted with the monks who lived next door, and the rest of the time they meditated in their own rooms.
Ah Tao spent more than a month turning the aura into essence, and now the progress has crossed the opening to the fetal period, and after spending some time in the valley, he can use the golden pill to impact the golden pill period.
As the cultivation deepened, the aura used to raise the peach wood sword became more and more vigorous.
Yan'er's soul is raised in it, and she can gradually gather into a human form.
The peachwood sword also slowly has the posture of a generator spirit.
Lan Yu flew back from outside, "Ah Tao, that Ai pharmacist wants to cheat you out of money." ”
Yaoshi Ai stayed in the post station yesterday, and lived in the room next to her, he is not a casual cultivator, but there are only five people in the sect he comes from, including him, and the sect has not accumulated as many spars for several generations.
"Knock, girl, are you there?"
"Pharmacist Ai, I'm inside, push the door and come in!"
Pharmacist Ai took out the medicine bottle from his cuff, "Girl, this is the Qi Replenishing Pill I refined myself, and I gave it to you." ”
"You're so polite, some firewood money is always going to be given to you. You sit, I'll get you crystals. Ah Tao took out the money bag from the makeup box, "Here are three crystal blocks, if you don't have enough firewood money, you can tell me again." ”
The corners of Pharmacist Ai's mouth twitched, "That's enough, thank you for your generosity." ”
"Pharmacist Ai, you are too polite, in the future, Pharmacist Ai don't call me Ah Girl, just call me Ah Tao. ”
"Okay, Miss Tao, I still have a few bottles to send to the other monks, so I'll take my leave. ”
"Pharmacist Ai walked slowly. Tao said.
"This Qi Replenishing Pill is no problem, but it's not even inferior, it's made from medicinal residue, and it doesn't have much effect if you eat it. In the pill shop, it is a buy-one-get-one-free giveaway, you give him a crystal cost, firewood is worthless, and conscientious pharmacists will throw away the dregs. ”
"Pharmacist Ai is really smart, when he meets a thin-skinned person, he will definitely give him a gift in return at the original price of the Qi Replenishing Pill. ”
"That's just right, if he wants to cheat money in the future, he won't choose us. ”
"duang", and the momentum of the next room came from the peach house.
On her left lived Cangzhi, and on her right lived Ai Yaoshi.
The movement came from inside the house, and there was the sound of doors and windows shattering and someone falling.
"What's going on?"
Ah Tao pushed open the door and asked Cangzhi who was standing in the hallway.
Cangzhi pointed to the pharmacist Ai who fell on the first floor and said: "I told him last night not to bother me, and today I want to take advantage of him and teach him a small lesson, if there is a next time, I will definitely cut off his hand." ”
She said this loudly, because it was not for Ah Tao to listen, but for the rest of the station.
The monks adhered to the idea that it was none of their business, and after seeing the excitement, they returned to their respective rooms, and the monks on the same floor as Ah Tao felt that Cangzhi had done a good job.
This pharmacist only arrived yesterday, so he thought of a way to get money out of their pockets.
*
At dusk, after Ah Tao finished a small week's run, he and Lan Yu ate sesame cakes and read the script.
Outside the post station, there was a sudden lightning and thunder, but the torrential rain did not fall for a long time, and many monks said that someone must have crossed the robbery, and ran out one after another.
Her peachwood sword was also ready to move.
Ah Tao stretched out her hand to soothe, "You also want to see the excitement?"
Yan Er came out of the peach wood sword, she can now gather into a human form, and she can also gather into a row of words, she said;
"You said before that the peachwood sword has been struck by lightning nine times, and the hilt of the sword is also engraved with a thunder charm, maybe thunder will make it stronger. ”
"Then let's go out and have a look. ”
Ah Tao jumped on the peach wood sword, and this time the peach wood sword was particularly disobedient, taking her crookedly in mid-air.
However, this day, Lei was really absorbed a lot by the peachwood sword, and her feet on the sword were a little numb.
The peachwood sword kept rushing towards the lightning-dense area, and the monks who had been advancing with Ah Tao before slowed down for fear of being struck by lightning, and only the peachwood sword moved forward.
The center point of lightning is a dense forest surrounded by miasma, but lightning can't penetrate this miasma at all.
Through the miasma, Tao saw a lake, and from a distance, the water in the lake was all viscous blood, and the lake was surrounded by blood mist.
Below, there are also monks from all walks of life who have advanced cultivation, as well as some goblins and royal envoys.
Intuition told Tao that the imperial envoy had been slow to interrogate them about the High Priest, and that it was likely that this lake was more important than the High Priest.
She put away the peachwood sword and landed on the ground, sneaking close to the lake, and after walking a few steps, she realized that it was not necessary.
Many monks came here to join in the fun, and the bigwigs from all walks of life had no intention of driving people away.
Ah Tao approached the two people who were talking.
"Two fellow Daoists, what's going on here?"
"We just arrived and don't know anything, by the way, have you ever had someone in your family who has risen to the top of the story? ”
The other said regretfully, "I knew that when the Golden Void Dao Monarch asked us, we should have said it. ”
“......”
The core discussion circle that these two people said was all characters at the same level as the high priest, and there was also a royal envoy beside him who stepped on the Dapeng bird to guard, Ah Tao didn't want to go over, so he could only go to another pile to join in the fun.
Someone patted Ah Tao on the shoulder, and Ah Tao turned around and found that it was Yu Qingming, who was very happy.
"Yu Daoyou, have you changed your clothes?"
"There are so many decent people here, I don't need to wear the clothes of the Demon Palace to block them. By the way, did you find your father?"
"I don't have to look for my father! Yu Daoyou, do you know too many girls and confuse us?" Ah Tao laughed.
Yu Qingming also smiled, "Can it be, right? Are you here because your family also has the fall of the Ascendant?"
Ah Tao didn't know whether to nod or shake her head in confusion, "Yu Daoyou, do you know what you're doing here?"
Yu Qingming pointed to the lake, "Down here is the shrine, when the monks of all walks of life join forces to petition, the shrine will rise and bring oracles. However, the last time the will of all the people petitioned was 110,000 years ago, and this time the monks only according to the records in the ancient books, whether there is really a divine platform, whether there will really be an oracle, no one knows. ”
