Chapter 213: Not seen for many days
Dong Junqin thinks he has been patient. But more than a month has passed, and there is no news from Alu. He personally asked Chenyang if he didn't say it, Gao Ting didn't say it, and Nangong Lu, in the name of Wenxu Palace, even threatened to tell Chenyang about the fall of God in his hand, so that all countries could judge it.
But Chenyang replied, "Are you sure they will judge and not snatch this fallen god?"
Nangong Law is not stupid, Dong Junqin is not stupid, the most unpredictable thing in the world is the heart, Chenyang expected that they would not dare to really joke about it.
However, although Dong Junqin couldn't sit still, there were indeed many follow-ups to deal with the palace change.
As far as the Dong family is concerned, Chenyang prepared a house for them in the suburbs of Beijing very intimately, but in fact, it actually confined the freedom of movement of everyone in the Dong family. After the palace change, Dong Junqin was forced to block idlers at home for a few days, and he couldn't go anywhere. After that, he heard that the Four Seasons Thatched Cottage, which had taken over the position of the Dong family's imperial businessman, was found to have a secret transaction with the cronies of Xiahou Mansion, and it was seized within a few days. Chenyang hinted in the court that the ministers who had not been verified for the time being had problems were now disintegrated from the big family in the Central Plains, and the future would be a new situation. Don't try to run away if you have it, and think about who is their good tree if you haven't.
A few days after the next dynasty, the Monk Pharmacy of the Imperial Physician's Office put Chongcaotang on the list and handed it to Chenyang, asking him to ask the ministers for their opinions in the early court whether they agreed to restore Chongcaotang's position.
Then, Chenyang recruited Dong's father and Dong Junqin into the palace. In the imperial study, several officials who had a light attitude towards them in the past were as warm as the rising sun at the moment, and Dong Junqin was full of goosebumps. Then, he bluntly refused the matter before his father returned the favor. Father Dong was very helpless, and the officials were very surprised, only Chenyang smiled faintly.
Dong Junqin had long expected this, although he wanted to correct the name of the Dong family, but this did not include re-accepting the position of imperial merchant. In the past, he thought it was a trip to troubled waters, and now he feels even more so.
Dong Junqin: "Your Majesty, the grass people don't know about the major affairs of the country. But there is a saying in this medical path: 'Mu needle in the east, spiritual grass in the west, rejuvenation in the north, Gu lamp in the south'. Since everyone in the medical Tao has their own strengths, the grass people think that the royal medicine merchants cannot be dominant. Moreover, Chongcaotang was founded with seven-petal leaves, but now that the fields have been destroyed and no grass and trees grow, Chongcaotang has long lost the foundation of its business, and it is really not suitable to continue to serve as an imperial businessman. Although the Four Seasons Cottage was involved in the case of Xiahou Mansion, the Four Seasons Cottage did produce a lot of good doctors. For example, Boss He of Lingzhou Wuhetang now"
Chenyang listened to Dong Junqin's words and smiled silently. An adult from the Imperial Doctor's Department on the side couldn't figure out what his expression meant, and hurriedly interrupted Dong Junqin: "Master Dong, Young Master Dong, it's certain that there are good players in the southeast, northwest, and northwest." But after all, the Dong family is the number one immortal doctor on the celebrity list, and this immortal doctor is not available everywhere. ”
When Dong Junqin heard this, he smiled back and said, "Lord Qin, in the past, when Xiahou Mansion used evil arts to manipulate the capital, they didn't need me, an immortal doctor, but now that the evil demons have been eliminated, where do you need an immortal doctor in the palace?"
The elders of this Lord Qin's family all died in the rebellion of the family, because he didn't like Dong Junqin, who was born in the sky. Although he did not take refuge in Xiahou Mansion later, in general, he did not stumble on Chongcaotang. When Dong Junqin said this, it was clear that he was slapping him in the face.
Lord Qin was speechless for a while, but he couldn't say it anymore, so he simply stopped talking.
Dong Junqin didn't care if he really offended him once, it was best to look down on him and force Chenyang to let them go. But Chenyang obviously didn't care. To say that he is Xuanning's own son, this emperor was a good hand at pretending to be crazy and stupid to induce others during his lifetime, although his talent was worse and he finally did a fake show, but when he arrived at Chenyang, who had a half-body demonic energy, he was probably even better.
If this continues, Chenyang will probably only use delaying tactics. Dong Junqin had no choice but to take a step back: "The consul is for the king, the official is for the people, and this official position is for the king, the people, and the people of the world." And my Dong family cultivates the Tao of Medicine, and the people of the Tao of Medicine are also born for the common people in this world. Therefore, the grass people believe that there is no difference between reinstatement and non-reinstatement. Besides, there is a person in the family who has gone missing, and her whereabouts have not been found so far, and I don't know if she is dead or alive. “
When Dong Junqin said Ah Lu, he stared at Chenyang tightly, and saw that his pupils did tremble for a moment.
At this time, Lord Qin on the side was about to speak again: "Lost someone, then we can help you"
"Lord Qin!" this time Chenyang personally interrupted him, "Dong Qing's words, I think they are very reasonable, what do you think?"
As soon as Chenyang's words changed, Lord Qin began to be confused again, so he had to echo and nod first.
Chenyang: "Then Lord Lao Qin will go to check the Lingzhou Wuhetang, if there is no bad record, and it is not involved in the Xiahou case, then send someone to discuss the position of imperial merchant with them." ”
After getting the clear will, Lord Qin breathed a sigh of relief.
Dong Junqin returned home after leaving the palace and found that most of the guards who were originally at the door of the house had been removed. Ah Xiang said that it was a while before they came back, and they did not send anyone to bring them back.
Song Jiyue heard the sound and pulled Dong Junqin to ask about Alu's whereabouts. Father Dong looked at the two of them with a harmonious appearance, but the discussion was about another woman, and he didn't know how to feel. It's not that he doesn't remember Miss Alu's kindness to help her many times, but the emperor kept her, what can they do? Now that he is old and has experienced these things, he no longer wants to be prosperous and rich, but only wants to live in peace. But if Dong Junqin insists on going his own way, it is difficult to guarantee that Chenyang will not be angry. In the past, they offended Xiahou Mansion, but there was no Xiahou Mansion later, only the emperor, and offending the emperor was much more dangerous than offending a heavy minister.
Song Jiyue understood what Dong's father was thinking, so she quickly took Dong Junqin back to her house. During the days when she lived in the harem, she heard a lot of things. Although the authenticity is difficult to verify, Song Jiyue understands that there is no absolute safety in this world.
She has long lost her family, and even has no affection for her family, and the family in front of her, the person in front of her, and the person in front of her who is worried about her are her future.
When Dong Junqin listened to Song Jiyue analyze the harem affairs for her, she thought that if you want to say who is the one who benefits the most in this whole thing, I am afraid it is Song Jiyue.
A few days ago, Dr. Lu came back from the palace, and the two of them checked the pulse together, and found that Song Jiyue was now in place with all three souls, and the spirit of the whole person was much better. Therefore, Dong Junqin did not tell Song Jiyue the whole truth about the Song family's annihilation, he only said that Ningxi and Xiahou Mansion were ghosts, so as not to think too much and lose the three souls.
However, Song Jiyue brought Dong Junqin to her house for another purpose, if Chenyang wanted to send someone to monitor the Dong family, then only Song Jiyue's boudoir could be avoided. Of course, this is what she thinks, Dong Junqin smiled at this and did not answer.
But soon, Mu Jifeng and Nanqin appeared in her house.
Mu Jifeng and Nanqin went their separate ways after that night. Nanqin returned to the Demon Clan, and Mu Jifeng went to Tianqing. At this time, they brought back two pieces of news: the demon clan has notified the ghost clan that Ningxi was temporarily sealed by the emperor of the mortal realm, and I am afraid that in a few days, the two clans in the earth realm will join forces to find a way to eliminate Ningxi;
Dong Junqin: "It's not only related to Ningxi, I'm afraid it's also related to Alu." ”
Mu Baofeng: "Then what are you going to do?" There is no forbidden magic circle in the palace now, we have already found all the places we can find, but are you sure that Ah Lu is still alive?"
Dong Junqin nodded, the soul fixing bell on his waist did not send any signal, indicating that Ah Lu's remnant soul had not yet had an accident. But Dong Junqin intuitively felt that the catastrophe was approaching: "I'm going to go to the ghost market once and ask what happened between the original Shengshi and Ningxi, as well as Chongyun." ”
Hearing this, Nanqin sighed in her heart, she was the secret line sent to Dongli by Se Xiao and Chenyang, they didn't know about it, although Nangong Lu was aware of it, but he was too lazy to think that if he was really asked by Dong Junqin, Ah Lu was a part of Shi Shengling, and Shi Shengling was still a heavenly spirit Nanqin didn't know what Dong Junqin would do. Anyway, Ah Lu won't come out for a while when she enters the life-making stone, so it's better for her to follow Dong Junqin first.
Just in case, Nanqin proposed to follow Dong Junqin and Mu Jifeng to the ghost market, and of course Dong Junqin also brought Dabao Diyu.
Seven days later, Ah Xiang prepared some dry food for them as if she had already guessed it: "I don't know how long you will go this time and where you will go, in short, be prepared." ”
Dabao's package was very sincere, and he was originally moved to thank him, but was coldly rejected by Ah Xiang: "You are two people." I don't want you to come back with a starving ghost. ”
Di Yu:
The four of them came to the ghost market through the global gate array, but they didn't expect that the originally lively ghost market street is now like an uninhabited village.
The only one with the lights still on is the Suolling Pavilion, but there are almost no people in the Suoling Pavilion, only the Suoling Mother-in-law sits on the stage and strokes the piano alone. Dong Junqin hesitated for a while, but decided to ask her first.
Mother-in-law Suoling was not surprised at all when she saw the sudden "guest", and continued to stroke the piano with wryness: "Our store is not closed, and there are no girls." What do you love? ”
Dong Junqin stepped forward and saluted: "Mother-in-law Suoling, I wonder if you still remember being here?"
Granny Suoling looked up at the person at this time, she looked at it for a while, and said suspiciously: "Are you the little brother that Ah Lu brought before?"
Dong Junqin: "Exactly. ”
Mother-in-law Suoling: "Why is your popularity gone?"
Dong Junqin was stunned.
Mother-in-law Suoling propped up her upper body and sniffed it close to Dong Junqin, and then suddenly smiled: "Ah, it's about to ascend to immortal." No wonder, without the vulgarity of mortals, he is worthy of the man in my photo. Come, come, come to my mother-in-law, sit down with me. ”
Dong Junqin sat down obediently, and the three people behind him were dumbfounded. Dong Junqin's figure left the eyes of Granny Suoling, and she saw Dabao carrying Di Yu on her back, obviously Granny Suoling knew Dabao, no, it should be said that she knew Di Yu. She looked at Di Yu and snorted coldly at the same time: "You're not dead yet?!"
Dong Junqin: "Do you know each other?"
Mother-in-law Suolling took a puff of cigarette: "It's not just acquaintance, it's not too familiar." Isn't it, Diyu?"
Di Yu rolled his eyes: "Who wants to know you." Hmph, King Xue is really a lover, and he actually left you to this day. ”
Granny Suo Ling and Di Yu have something to do, but Dong Junqin doesn't want to spy on the past between the two of them.
However, when Granny Suolling heard the word King Xue, she muttered to herself: "Maybe it can only be today." ”
The sudden change in the ghost market must be inseparable from the things of the mortal world these days. Dong Junqin asked: "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with the ghost market?"
Mother-in-law Suoling: "What's the matter? It's not like there's an accident? A few days ago, a strange force came out of nowhere and sucked away all the ghosts in a ghost market." ”
The crowd was shocked.
Granny Suoling: "The third time, I was able to even suck away the ghosts on the other side, and I never came back." Yama sent a ghost to investigate, but the report was that it was in vain. So in the past few days, the little ghosts who were originally unwilling to be reincarnated in the ghost city have gone to the other side to be reincarnated, or they will go to hell to be punished. ”
Sucking the ghost away, Dong Junqin remembered what Ah Lu had done to suck people dry before: "Mother-in-law, you just said that you don't know where the strange power came from, where did the ghost go to find out?"
Mother-in-law Suoling shrugged: "After all, the Three Realms have been checked." However, in the heavenly realm, the ghosts can't go, so they have to go to the Ten Palaces Hades in person. No, I haven't come back yet. ”
After Suoling's mother-in-law finished speaking, she suddenly remembered Ah Lu: "What about the girl? Didn't you go with you?" I heard that the passage between the ghost city and the mortal world has been sealed for a while, this girl can't have offended anyone, and now she is being hacked!"
Dong Junqin: "That's not true, she's just busy making raw stones." ”
Granny Suoling sighed: "Still looking for stones." ”
Dong Junqin: "Mother-in-law, do you know that this life-making stone is actually the Ancient Divine Stone Chaos Stone, which is the beginning of the Ten Halls of the Earth Realm and the Hades?"
At the mention of the Chaos Stone, Granny Suo Ling and Di Yu glanced at each other again, and then Granny Suo Ling said in surprise: "It is said that this Chaos Stone was destroyed by the Yin Yang God. Emperor Yu?"
Di Yu pouted: "I also thought it was ruined, but now it seems that something may have gone wrong at that time." ”
Granny Suoling sneered twice: "Could it be that some scheming people have found this stone and want to use it for evil? Hey, could it be that the ghost was sucked away for no reason a few days ago, and it was because of this stone?"
Dong Junqin and Di Yu nodded slightly.
Mother-in-law Suoling laughed three times: "Emperor Yu, why did you say that I was here at the beginning? said that it was your duty to throw me into the realm, but now that this destroyed Chaos Stone has not been destroyed, it seems that you are not doing your best enough!"
Emperor Yu was choked, and immediately replied: "It wasn't me who destroyed the stone in the first place!
Mother-in-law Suoling: "Oh! You are still shirking responsibility! You are on a mission in the mortal world, so you can't review it when you go back?"
Di Yu: "I didn't go back after that!
Mother-in-law Lock Bell snorted, this time it was a real mockery.
Granny Suoling: "So, you are here today to find the Ten Palaces Hades?"
Di Yu nodded: "The Chaos Stone has given birth to a spirit. ”
"Creatures, whose primordial spirit is trapped inside?" Granny Suo Ling was surprised, "No, the Chaos Stone only consumes energy and doesn't swallow primordial spirits." ”
Di Yu: "It's not who is trapped in it, but a spirit grows from the Chaos Stone." ”
"Wow! That's even more impossible. Granny Suoling stood up and shouted, "Although I am not as old as you, I am also clear about the effects of the Chaos Stone. If this Chaos Stone is a living being, then it will not have swallowed the heavens and the earth a long time ago?"
"Engulfed?" Dong Junqin asked rhetorically, "Why?"
Granny Suoling: "Why? Because the spirit will wake up as the cultivation grows." Do you know that Pangu opened the world?"
Dong Junqin nodded.
Granny Suoling: "Inside the Chaos Stone, there is chaos in heaven and earth. That Pangu is a spirit born of heaven and earth. Now there is a spirit born in the Chaos Stone, and when he wakes up, he will open the heavens and the earth like Pangu, that is, the Chaos Stone. ”
When Nanqin heard this, her heart had already risen to her throat.
Mother-in-law Suoling: "So, there is a spirit born in the Chaos Stone, isn't there a risk of recreating heaven and earth." Think about it, how can there be two heavens and earths in the desolate universe?"
Mother-in-law Suoling's words were a bit mysterious, and Dong Junqin didn't quite understand them. But listening to her, the existence of stone creatures is not a good thing: "Then who can influence the Formation Stone, no, the Chaos Stone, or who can use the power of the Chaos Stone?"
Di Yu expressed doubts about Dong Junqin's question, and Granny Suo Ling also laughed back: "The Chaos Stone is an ancient thing, and it is the source of all the power contained in it. Who can influence it? Only it can affect others. Boy, you don't want to use this stone for anything, do you? Let me tell you, if the Soul Creation Stone you are looking for is really this Chaos Stone, then I advise you to go when you are dying. Otherwise, all your cultivation, memories, and past in this life will be erased, and it will be no different from being reincarnated after death. ”
Hearing that Granny Suoling's words were so vague, Nanqin breathed a sigh of relief.
Dong Junqin thanked Mother-in-law Suoling for her reminder, but there were many questions in her heart. He originally wanted to ask Bald again, but when he walked to the Yamen of the ghost market, he heard from the little ghost that because of the lack of manpower, Bald was dragged to the other side to help. But because of the previous ghost sucking, King Yama broke the bridge from the ghost city to the nether before leaving. He also set up an enchantment in the Netherworld to prevent any more powers.
In desperation, Dong Junqin and his entourage had no choice but to return to the suburbs of Beijing first. They went back to the house and analyzed everything they knew. Although Di Yu is the god of yang, he happened to be absent when Chongyun destroyed the stone, so he was also a useless person.
But about being stimulated by the four words Dabao, Di Yu suddenly remembered something: "I remember that when I was on a mission, I seemed to feel an extremely strong impact, and that impact almost tore my Yuan Spirit to pieces, but in the end, this power was suddenly withdrawn, do you think it will be the power of the Chaos Stone?"
Dabao: "Nonsense. ”
Di Yu: "How is it nonsense? You think, Ning Xi definitely didn't want the Chaos Stone to destroy the stone, so it won't be him who released the Chaos Stone Power." So it could only be that Shi Shengling wanted to come out by himself, and then broke out of the stone while Chongyun was dealing with Ningxi. But in the end, Chongyun Lian Ningxi and the stone creatures were sealed together in the stone. ”
Dabao: "Chongyun is so powerful?"
Di Yu rolled his eyes: "I don't know." But this is the most plausible explanation. ”
Dong Junqin: "Reasonable and unreasonable, if the energy of the stone creature is really like the lock bell mother-in-law, Chongyun will not be able to seal it." ”
The crowd was out of ideas again. Nanqin saw all this in her eyes, and once again proposed that she go to the magic city to ask: "That Granny Suoling is only a thousand years old after all, and what she knows may only be by word of mouth." And the demons also have a long-lived innate demon race, maybe they have a different statement. ”
Nanqin left the Dong family and continued to return to the underground palace.
In this way, it was another few days of no news. On this day, Dong Junqin should be recruited into the palace to assist the Shang Medicine Bureau in sorting out the warehouse. Halfway through the storeroom, the soul bell on his waist suddenly shook.
Originally, it was just a small movement, and Dong Junqin didn't care, but soon it continued to shake. This move shook Dong Junqin's heart. He gave the Shang Pharmacy a nonsense, and then followed the shaking frequency of the soul bell out of the palace, and came to a mountain outside the outskirts of Beijing, where the Changshengtai Taoist Temple was located, and now it was a desolation.
When people pass through the gate, the soul bell shakes wildly. But Dong Junqin searched for a few laps but didn't find it.
Could it be that there is another space here?
Dong Junqin took a deep breath and waved his burial soul, and then saw the soul in the sword being quickly sucked into the ground of the most famous tower of the Immortal Terrace. Dong Junqin followed the soul and found that there were three floors under this tower, and the lowest layer was covered by an enchantment, and if it wasn't for the soul entering, he wouldn't have been able to find it at all.
There must be a problem here. But just as Dong Junqin was about to study how to cross the enchantment, a powerful suction force rushed out from under the enchantment, almost sucking Dong Junqin's soul away. Dong Junqin used the burial soul to block a wave of sucking, he suddenly remembered what Suo Ling's mother-in-law said, and remembered that Ah Lu had washed people into dry corpses several times Dong Junqin concluded that Ah Lu must be below.
Fortunately, the suction was intermittent, and Dong Junqin held his breath to make an enchantment for himself. Then, when the second wave of suction came up, a sword smashed into the barrier. Under the action of these two forces, the barrier was quickly broken. And the floor tiles under Dong Junqin's feet also crumbled.
When he fell to the ground and opened his eyes, he saw that he was in a dungeon.
The structure of this underground palace is not complicated, there is only one road, and at the end of the road there is light and sound. Dong Junqin quickly ran over, shaking wildly as he ran the soul-fixing bell, as if the spirit inside was about to rush out.
However, when Dong Junqin walked to the end of the underground palace, all he saw were familiar faces. Gao Ting, Nanqin, Elder Qingyin, Elder Qingyuan, as well as several elders from Xuanshan and Mingquan, etc. Several elders sat around in front of the Stone, seemingly struggling to maintain a formation. And Gao Ting and Nanqin already had a headache and had to kneel. Dong Junqin opened his eyes of heaven, and half of their souls were sucked out of their bodies by the Creation Stone.
But what made him even more anxious was that he didn't see Ah Lu, and he didn't even see a physical body.
He immediately stepped forward and asked Nanqin, "Where is Alu!"
Nanqin pointed to the stone and couldn't say a word.
Man in stone?
In desperation, Dong Junqin used the soul fixing bell, hoping that this spirit could recall its owner again. He cast a spell on the Soul Bell with one hand, and smashed the Soul Stone's Soul Burial Stone with the other.
After a few clicks, a cloud of white smoke suddenly ignited on the surface of the living stone, and before Dong Junqin could get closer, a person rushed out of the stone and pounced directly on him.
Dong Junqin sat on the ground and saw that it was Ah Lu, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
It was a great joy, but as soon as Ah Lu opened his mouth, he sprayed blood on his face, and then the whole person fell heavily.
Dong Junqin was frightened, at this time, the Shengsheng Stone stopped sucking, and he quickly took Ah Lu's pulse, but found that the person in front of him was lifeless and dead.
