In the camp on the outskirts of Chang'an, a director of the Ministry of Industry bowed to Lin Ze and said: "Tell the lord of the country, the minister was ordered to take people to sprinkle quicklime all over Chang'an, and it has been completed, and I am here to restore my life." ”

Lin Ze quickly swept Chang'an City with his spiritual sense, whether it was the roof on the ground or the courtyard of the house, it was covered with a layer of quicklime, and he nodded slightly and affirmed: "Good job, hard work." ”

The director of the Ministry of Works bowed his head and bowed: "This is a matter within the minister's duty, and it should not be praised by the lord of the country." ”

Lin Ze chuckled and said, "It's a good duty, wait a minute, take Lone's warrant and go to the head of the household department to receive a reward of five thousand gold." ”

"I heard that you are a disciple of the Mo family, and you may not like gold and bronze things, so you are specially allowed to choose something equal to the value of five thousand gold. It can be a cultivation resource or a material used to create a trap. ”

Hearing that there is a reward, and you can also choose materials of the same value at will, the director of the Ministry of Industry immediately showed joy and bowed: "The minister bows and thanks the lord for the reward." ”

Lin Ze waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, wrote a warrant casually, stamped it with a seal, and threw it into the arms of the director of the Ministry of Works.

"Weichen retired," the director of the Ministry of Works took the warrant, bowed, and left with joy on his face.

In the past, Lin Ze would not be so complicated, he would only use gold and bronze as a reward, and he could spend it however he wanted, it had nothing to do with him.

However, a lot of materials have been moved out of Chang'an recently, and these materials are found from the homes of the people of Chang'an who died in vain, and the specifications are different, so it is inconvenient to classify them, so in order to reduce the burden on the household, Lin Ze has to think of another way to deal with them.

Even the reward for the army a few days ago, Lin Ze was generally rewarded with gold and copper, half of which was converted into materials.

Suddenly, Lin Ze showed a solemn expression, walked out of the tent, looked up at the sky and said loudly: "I don't know where the divine is snooping in the dark, why don't you show up and see it?"

Zhuang Zhou's voice sounded at the right time: "Since Mr. Mo Zhai is here, can you give the poor a face and come down for a cup of tea?"

Mo Zhai?

Lin Ze's expression moved when he heard this, the legendary Mozi, a powerhouse in the third realm of heaven and man.

"Hahahaha" A hearty laugh came out, and a thin old man fell from the sky and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Zhuang Sheng to be here, the little old man came uninvited, it's really rude, and I hope Zhuang Sheng won't be surprised." ”

Zhuang Zhou stood beside Lin Ze and replied with a smile: "Mr. Mo Zhai is serious, Mr. is willing to come here with a face, it's too late to welcome him, how can he be strange?"

The two exchanged a few words, and Mo Zhai looked at Lin Ze and asked, "I don't know who this little brother is?"

Zhuang Zhou hurriedly introduced: "This is the newly accepted personal disciple of the family teacher, the little disciple of the poor Dao, and the lord of the Western Qin Dynasty today. ”

This introduction is very interesting, Lin Ze's identity is first a disciple of the Dao Saint, and then a junior disciple of Zhuang Zhou, the most worthless Lord of the Western Qin.

Lin Ze bowed and said, "Dao Palace disciple Lin Ze has seen Mr. Mo Zhai. ”

Mo Zhai said abruptly: "No wonder the little old man thinks that this little brother is extraordinary, it turns out that he is a new disciple of the Dao Saint." ”

Lin Ze replied with a reserved face: "Mr. Mo Zhai Miao Zan, I don't know if Mr. is here, what do you have to do?"

In view of Zhuang Zhou's attitude and the strength of Mo Zhai Tianren's third realm, Lin Ze asked so tactfully.

Otherwise, what Lin Ze should ask is, why did Your Excellency spy on the camp in Xiada, but you have bad intentions?

Mo Zhai pointed to the director of the Ministry of Works, who was receiving the reward, and said: "The little old man just came down from the sky, and happened to pass by here, and when he saw the disciples of the Mo family here, he couldn't help but be curious, so he came over to investigate. ”

Lin Ze had an inexplicable smile on his face when he heard this, he was skeptical about this reason.

Although it was a natural move to descend from the sky to find a disciple under the throne, there was no reason why Mo Zhai would find an extremely ordinary disciple.

For example, Lin Ze himself, if he wants to have something, he will also find Chen Ping and Han Xin them, how can he not find an ordinary Western Qin official.

Out of some consideration, Lin Ze did not show it, but remained silent.

However, Zhuang Zhou seemed to be convinced of this, nodded and said: "I see, I haven't seen you for many years, and now we meet is also fate, Mr. Mo Zhai please go in with the poor road to drink tea." ”

After speaking, Zhuang Zhou took the initiative to lead the way in front and motioned for Mo Zhai to follow.

Seeing this, Lin Ze stretched out his hand to summon a guard, and commanded in a low voice: "Go and brew the clear tea before the rain that Gu treasured." ”

After entering the camp, Zhuang Zhou invited Mo Zhai to sit down in the guest seat, and he sat on the main seat for the first time.

Lin Ze quietly accompanied the last position.

Lin Ze always felt that Zhuang Zhou was calculating something, but he was worried about Mo Zhai's presence, so it was inconvenient to talk to himself.

Soon, three cups of steaming tea were brought by the guards.

Zhuang Zhou took a sip of it, pretending to be intoxicated: "Good tea." ”

Then he quipped: "The junior brother usually hides the tea before the rain, except for the teacher, even the senior brother and I may not be able to drink it, but I didn't expect to be willing to take it out today." ”

Lin Ze smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Today's distinguished guests are coming to the door, of course, you have to entertain them." ”

Zhuang Zhou pretended to be annoyed and said, "Could it be that in the eyes of the senior brother, the senior brother is not important?"

Lin Ze just smiled and didn't answer positively, but changed the topic and said, "At present, senior brother is going to snub others. ”

Zhuang Zhou's face was straight: "What the junior brother said is right, it is a poor and rude way, and I hope that Mr. Mo Zhai is not strange." ”

Mo Zhai smiled and said, "Saint Master Zhuang has a deep brotherly relationship, how can the little old man blame him?"

Zhuang Zhou suddenly asked, "How did Mr. Mo Zhai feel when he first returned to the world?"

Mo Zhai picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said softly: "Like this cup of tea, the world is full of fragrance and intoxicating. ”

Zhuang Zhou smiled and continued to ask: "In the world of great contention, the catastrophe is coming, does Mr. Mo Zhai have any plans?"

Mo Zhai was silent, and after a while, Fang asked, "Why did Zhuang Sheng teach me?"

Zhuang Zhou shook his head and said: "I don't dare to teach, just ask casually, if Mr. Mo Zhai is inconvenient to answer, he doesn't have to answer." Everyone has known each other for many years, and it is not easy to see each other once, so it is normal to care about each other. ”

Mo Zhai chuckled lightly and asked undeniably, "I don't know what the palace has planned?"

Zhuang Zhou pointed at Lin Ze and said, "Isn't this obvious enough?"

Mo Zhai sighed and said: "The Dao Saint has passed on his disciples to enter the world and become the master of the secular dynasty, it seems that the Dao Palace is determined to achieve the Mandate of Heaven." ”

Zhuang Zhou replied indifferently: "If in the past, the Dao Palace may not have cared much about the Mandate of Heaven, but it is a matter of the opportunity of detachment, who is willing to let go easily?"

"Dare to ask Mr. Mo Zhai, don't you want to go one step further and advance to the fourth realm of heaven and man?"

Mo Zhai fell silent.

However, Zhuang Zhou refused to give up easily: "Even though Mr. Mo Zhai is noble and unwilling to be driven by the mandate of heaven, what about the Mo family? What about the disciples of the Mo family all over the world?"

"Mr. Mo Zhai, can he bear that they will become a stepping stone for others, and be stepped on by others to climb the avenue?"

"Mr. Mo Zhai, don't forget, back then, there were hundreds of schools and tens of thousands of sects, how many are left today?"
