The two of them had already walked to the top of the dirt slope, and Zhong Ming turned his head to look at the fairy city: "Look, that is the last city on the border of the New Tang Dynasty, and that is where you should go." ”

Looking back at Zhong Ming and pointing to the silt village: "Our village is too small, the temple is small and the demon is windy, and my Zhong Ming is not as capable as my father, prince, I can't do anything." ”

Li Jianye looked bitter and didn't say a word.

The wind after the rain was still a little cold, blowing Li Jianye's robe sleeves, he was very cold, and his scholar's robe was tight and tight.

"Within three days, I hope the prince will be able to move out of the mud village. ”

Walking down the hill with an expressionless face, Zhong Ming slowly closed his eyes, and he held back the long sigh in his throat.

Zhong Ming has to be responsible for the people of this village, and he can't take 100 lives to help Li Jianye gamble on winning or losing.

Zhong Ming can't afford to gamble, and the silt village can't afford to gamble.

"I can tell you that Qin Xiong has left Luoyang, if you return to Luoyang as soon as possible while the news of your death is not yet known to the world, there may still be a chance to reject the defeat. ”

After speaking, Zhong Ming walked forward without looking back.

On the hillside, Li Jianye's expression was complicated, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling bitterly, and finally laughing maniacally: "Everyone in the world says that the emperor is good, but everyone in the emperor's family wears shackles!"

With a plop, Li Jianye fell to his knees, the splashed mud bloomed on the hem of his robe, and Li Jianye bowed his head and kowtowed to Zhong Ming's back.

Hearing the sound behind him, Zhong Ming, who pretended to be hard-hearted, was still soft-hearted, and his long sigh squeezed out of his throat.

"You have to go, Wangye I can save his life, you should know that the immortal who came from the Southern Han a few days ago owes me a favor.

If you are willing, Wangye can go away to the Southern Han Dynasty, no matter how big Li Shiwei is, he will not be able to snatch people in the hands of the Southern Han immortals, but he can protect you with an incense. ”

This time, Zhong Ming didn't stop anymore, and walked forward quickly, this was already the last bottom line for him and the mud village.

"Thank you, sir!"

Li Jianye's body was full of mud and water, embarrassed, but he didn't care, he looked at the young man's eyes, full of gratitude.

This is the first time that he has been beaten to the mud village, and Zhong Ming has been called "sir" so seriously.

......

In the afternoon, Carpenter Li in the mud village wore a robe of a five-clawed golden dragon, and he chanted loudly: "The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep." Zhou Gong vomits, and the world returns to the heart!"

On this day, a hidden prince who should have died walked out of Sui Yun Mountain.

The former crown prince Li Jianye, under the protection of Hu Su, the leader of the Praetorian Guard, took the crown princess Zhen Ji, the eldest son Li Guangling, and the youngest son Li Muyun into Wangxian City.

He Xianling in Wangxian City was frightened, and ran all the way from the county government to North Street to kneel to welcome the return of the former prince.

Bai Yujing's immortal Yu Su was also shocked by this news, and the Moon Rabbit personally welcomed Li Jianye into Bai Yujing's mansion to live.

From the moment Li Jianye entered the city wearing the prince's dragon robe, this news seemed to have grown wings, flying all over the New Tang Dynasty and alarming Luoyang.

It's just that no one knows that Li Jianye had two more strands of gray hair on his forehead overnight.

No one knew that in the East Palace of Luoyang City, the prince, who was also wearing the dragon robe of the five-clawed prince, sighed: "Big brother, I have the right to die on the border, why do you have to break the kettle with me......

Alive, isn't it?"

......

At night, inside the Bai Yujing Mansion.

Yu Su had a night conversation with Li Jianye in the living room, and no one could enter this courtyard.

At the entrance of the courtyard, Tian Xingjian smiled and groaned: "Interesting, really interesting, I didn't expect Li Jianye to dare to walk out of that muddy pond." ”

Yi Chongtian followed behind him and echoed: "Uncle Tian is so Yaxing." ”

Glancing at Yi Chongtian, Tian Xingjian suddenly stopped smiling, he said with a cold face: "What are you laughing at?

The moody Tian Xingjian's eyes were full of anger, and he muttered: "It's still grandpa's plan to be higher, I lost this bet." ”

......

Far away in Luoyang, in the magnificent Tian family mansion.

An old man with white eyebrows and white beard sat in the courtyard, listening to the report from the next person, rubbing the chess pieces in his hand, and was silent for a long time.

"Teacher, Li Jianye is returning to the imperial capital on this trip, and the disciple thinks it is an opportunity for my scholar clan, what do you think?"

The unicorn who is admired by the people of the world fell on the chessboard and said with a smile: "My son fell here, and the dead chess game is alive, and if you don't concentrate on playing chess, you will lose." ”

The two people in the courtyard, one is Tian Yizheng, the prime minister of the dynasty, after Qin Xiong resigned, he was the only first-class member of the New Tang Dynasty;

In the future, the two masters and apprentices will be able to tilt the power of the government and the opposition and influence the movement of the entire court.

......

Silt Village, in the small courtyard of Zhong Ming.

Li Wangye's crying continued, he howled and cried, Zhong Ming persuaded him for a long time to no avail, or Feng Mufei pointed at his nose and shouted: "You are our Penglai elder, how can you cry casually?"

Li Wangye immediately stopped crying, he was still a little choked, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhong Ming, does my father don't want me anymore." ”

Looking at Li Wangye's tearful eyes, Zhong Ming squeezed out a smile, and he lied: "No, your father will come back in a while." ”

Li Wangye asked again: "Then what did my father do?"

"Your father, help you and your brother get back what you deserve. ”

Standing up, Zhong Ming looked at the border city with a complicated expression.

......

Sui Yunshan walked out of a hidden prince, the news was spread by people with a heart, and soon spread all over Luoyang City, but on the second day, there was news that a bunch of 10,000 Praetorian Guards came out of Luoyang City to take the former prince back to the imperial capital.

On the border city, because of the fact that Su personally sent people, Bai Yujing's immortals escorted Li Jianye back to the imperial capital.

The crown prince is the prince after all, and the people he protected under his feathers back then stood up again above the court and wanted to invite the eldest prince back to the imperial capital.

It seems that this prince, who still has the scenery and the majesty of the people, will return to Luoyang, only the moment he steps into the imperial capital, he can know.

After the hidden prince is gone, the silt village is still the silt village.

It's just that in the past two days, the number of times the earth dragon has turned over has become more and more frequent, and people are panicking, and some people have combined with the previous hidden prince in the present world, and it is rumored that the eldest prince Li Jianye should respond to the trend of the sky, and he will return to the imperial capital this time, and even God will help him.

The turning of the earth dragon means that Li Jianye is about to turn over.

There was such a big change in the New Tang Dynasty, whether it was the Southern Han Dynasty or the Later Chen, batch after batch of secret agents invaded the New Tang Dynasty, closely watched the movements of Li Jianye and Li Shicheng, and transmitted their news back to their home countries.

Zhong Ming didn't believe this rumor, he knew that the turning over of the earth dragon had nothing to do with Li Jianye.

The number of earthquakes is becoming more and more frequent, and it is only because the changes in Sui Yunshan are coming to an end.

On the night of the second day after Li Jianye left, a huge rumbling sound suddenly came from Sui Yunshan, accompanied by a strange roar.

It seemed to be a feeble wail, and it was like a roar that didn't dare, and the roar lasted for a long time before it stopped.

Zhong Ming was awakened by this roar, he hurriedly walked out of the courtyard to look, only to see the direction of Sui Yun Mountain rising to the sky, full of colors, as beautiful as the aurora, reflecting Sui Yun Mountain as bright as day.

Liang Yu's snoring in the room was still earth-shattering, and he was the only one who wouldn't be woken up by the noise.

The dark mud village was lit up one after another, and many villagers ran out to see.

Looking at the brilliance, Zhong Ming frowned and muttered, "What is that?"

"A spiritual vein. ”

Yu Bai didn't know when she stood on the roof, she also looked in the direction of Sui Yunshan, looked at it for a while, and then jumped to Zhong Ming's side.

Comparing the appearance of a mountain, Yu Bai explained: "It is a spiritual vein that should be hidden underground, and the spiritual vein is also called the spiritual mountain, which is made of the essence of heaven and earth, and they are equivalent to a treasure trove for immortal cultivators, and fairy spirit stones are produced in the spiritual vein."

There are many uses for fairy spirit stones, and the most important role is to help immortal cultivators speed up their cultivation. ”

"So, in fact, you immortals are all here for this kind of fairy spirit stone?"

Zhong Ming frowned, he thought, this spiritual vein is probably like a gold mine in the eyes of mortals, once it is discovered, everyone will rush to it.

Nodding, Yu Bai replied: "Almost, in fact, immortal cultivators are not as nourishing as you imagine on weekdays, we are not true immortals, and we will die of old age, in order to practice, we have to look around for available resources, and strive to achieve the goal of immortality in our limited life." ”

"Then you came down from the sky, not for the sake of blessing the common people, but actually for this spiritual vein, for the resources of this world?"

hit the nail on the head, and Zhong Ming finally understood why there was a fairy palace descending from the sky.

This group of immortals is not a compassionate bodhisattva, they are also human cultivators, and they also have selfish desires in their hearts, if it is not profitable, why waste so much effort and come to the human world from the upper realm.

Yu Bai coughed dryly, noncommittal.

After a long while, Yu Baicai said: "Don't look at it, it has nothing to do with you, the spiritual vein is the treasure land of the immortal family that the major immortal palaces compete for, you mortals don't want to get a piece of the pie." ”

"I didn't want a piece of the pie, I wanted that thing and it didn't work. ”

After speaking, Zhong Ming turned around and planned to go into the house to sleep, he thought that he would have a good night's sleep, maybe he would wake up tomorrow and see his uncle return.

As smart as Zhong Ming, he can guess that Yang Yanlang's trip to Suiyun Mountain for more than a month must have something to do with this spiritual vein, and now that the spiritual vein is unearthed, it doesn't mean that Yang Yanlang has been able to return.

But as soon as Zhong Ming turned around, he heard a loud bang suddenly from the village.

With a bang, the thatched roofs were blown into the sky, and the splintered grass mixed with sand and gravel fell from the sky.

That direction is the courtyard of Zhang Daozhen's master and apprentice, Zhong Ming glanced at it, and said secretly: It's broken, I don't know what the two Taoist priests are doing, they actually blew up their own homes.

Without thinking about it, Zhong Ming hurriedly ran to the courtyard of the master and apprentice.

Yu Bai looked at it and wanted to follow up to find out, but at this time Li Wangye woke up, he rubbed his eyes and stood in the yard, crying in a low voice: "Brother Zhong Ming, I'm afraid!"

Looking at Li Wangye, who was wiping his tears, Yu Bai sighed: "The little ghost head is really annoying." ”

Although he was complaining, Yu Bai still turned around to comfort Li Wangye: "Don't be afraid, my sister is here." ”

Holding Li Wangye and carrying him back into the house, Yu Bai also glanced curiously in the direction of the explosion just now.

Zhong Ming trotted all the way to Zhang Daozhen's yard, and when he arrived, there was already a group of people outside the yard.

Seeing Zhong Ming coming, Lu Dashu hurriedly pushed away the crowd: "Let's let me, Mr. Zhong is here." ”

Bypassing the crowd, Zhong Ming walked to the courtyard, only to see that the small thatched house had been blown down, the roof was gone, and even the walls of the yellow mud embryo were blown to only half of it.

In the smoke, Zhang Laodao and the little Taoist ran out coughing.

Zhong Ming hurriedly asked, "Old Dao, what are you doing here, why did you blow up the house?"

"Ahem, Zhong Jushi, Master Alchemy, blew up the furnace. ”

The little Taoist priest Zhang Nianchen hurriedly explained to Zhong Ming, and the old Taoist priest was holding his small Dan furnace in his arms, which had been blown up and bloomed like a lotus.

Zhong Ming hurriedly pulled the two Taoist priests to look at them twice, and then asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Nianchen hurriedly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Only when Zhong Ming could he breathe a sigh of relief, he turned around and explained to the villagers: "Zhang Daochang has practiced the pill fryer, it's no big deal, everyone is scattered!"

Zhang Nianchen behind him also made a fuss: "It's really sorry to disturb everyone." ”

There was laughter from the crowd, and Lu Dashu said: "It's okay for people to be fine, Dao Chief, you have to watch the alchemy in the future, I have never heard that alchemy can blow up the house." ”

Amid the laughter, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Zhong Ming also turned his head and sighed: "Old Dao, what kind of alchemy are you, I think you are practicing explosives, don't blow up your master and apprentice to immortality one day!"

Zhang Daozhen, who had not spoken for a long time, frowned and wondered: "What is explosives? is it some kind of pill that can explode?"

Frowning, Zhong Ming didn't know how to explain the explosives to them, so he could only wave his hand and said: "It's okay if the person is fine, no, you can go back to Liang Yu's house with me for a few days, this house is unlivable, call someone to help you repair it tomorrow." ”

"It's fine. ”

Zhang Daozhen's appearance of the old god, he didn't care that his white beard was blown black, Zhong Ming secretly sighed: Sure enough, he is a cultivator, and his Taoist heart is calm!

The two African refugee-like Taoist priests followed behind Zhong Ming, and the three of them walked towards Liang Yu's house.

On the way, Zhang Daozhen kept holding his broken pill furnace like a baby, and said to Zhong Ming mysteriously: "Zhong Jushi, I have refined the stone essence pill." ”

"It's not a furnace that blows up, can you still practice?"

Zhong Ming was quite curious, and Lao Dao explained to him: "I don't know how to refine it, the stone essence couldn't be refined for several days before, and I don't know what happened tonight, the stone essence began to merge into the medicinal liquid, and there was a roar in Sui Yunshan, and my Dan furnace also exploded."

But I just investigated the medicine in the Dan furnace, and it has been condensed into the form of a pill, and it should be practiced. ”

The broken pill furnace was still covered with a lid, and Zhang Daozhen still wrapped half of it with his broken robe, and Zhong Ming couldn't see it clearly.

As long as the person is fine, anyway, Zhong Ming's dantian has also been cured now, and he doesn't care much about this furnace of elixir.

"Let's go home first!"

Returning to Liang Yu's courtyard with Zhang Daozhen's master and apprentice, Yu Bai had disappeared without a trace, and he should be back to the house.

Liang Yu's room was too small, and it was still full of messy things, and it was impossible for the three of them to sleep, so they could only run to the stone table in Zhongming's courtyard and sit down.

After it was done, Zhang Daozhen finally put down the Dan furnace and said, "Zhong Jushi, apprentice, you can open it to see what this pill looks like, and tell me about it." ”

Zhang Daozhen is a blind man, he can't see it, and he is very anxious in his heart.

When the lid of the furnace was slowly opened, a ray of light like the brilliance of the Suiyun Mountain Range shot out from the Dan furnace.

An irregular diamond-shaped elixir flew out of the stove, like a small pebble.

The stone jumped to the side of the furnace, and the brilliance on his body suddenly converged, condensing into a palm-sized humanoid above the stone, and he jumped up and slapped Zhang Daozhen.

This slap slapped Zhang Daozhen's mouth crookedly, and the stone scolded and yelled: "Damn, are you this guy covering the lid and not letting Lao Tzu come out?

Zhang Daozhen was stunned with a slap, and Zhong Ming and Zhang Nianchen, who were watching this strange humanoid thing, were also stunned.
