44. The Second Coming of the Immortal Gourd (3)

In the many years that Kong Shen lived, he had seen countless people, experienced countless dynastic changes, and seen countless wars, and what he learned the most was how to protect himself.

After a few people left Fan Lou, Mu Hibiscus and Shi Jing were still discussing where to go, but Kong Shen didn't say a word.

"Go to Ouchi!"

"What?" exclaimed the other two in unison.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Kong Shen didn't care, the world is so big, is there a place he can't go?

Shi Jing and Mu Hibiscus didn't have to think about it, they knew when they looked at Kong Shen like that, and they forgot about his imprisonment in Shangjing.

"What if someone finds out...... Hibiscus whispered.

"Don't you have a token...... Kong Shen said quietly, with a "Are you two stupid" expression on his face.

......

"Stop, what kind of person!" Although it is now dark, and the night markets on the street are bustling, this will not affect these guards in the Miyagi Suzaku Gate in the slightest, the Great Song Dynasty has always pursued a policy of being weak on the outside and on the inside, and placed the forbidden army with the highest combat effectiveness in Bianjing, this little guard was not moved at all when he saw Kong Shen's appearance, and asked with a straight face.

"Oh, little brother, I'm the Imperial Doctor's Bureau. "Shijing didn't dare to make a mistake at the feet of this Son of Heaven, and honestly handed over the token.

"It's so late to come back, the Taiyi Bureau is hard enough, let's go in. "When the little guard saw that it was from the Taiyi Bureau, he immediately let him go, how did he know that Shijing was actually an impostor!

A few people entered the inside, and then turned around, they had never entered this palace city, how do they know how to go.

"This, this, this...... How do you go here? "Hibiscus was already a bit of a road idiot, but now that he has entered this unfamiliar place, he is directly dumbfounded.

"Quick, hide!" Shi Jing vaguely saw a group of patrolling guards coming in front of him, and hurriedly reminded.

"It's okay, don't talk, they can't see us. Shhhh

"Well, they're over. It seems that Kong Shen has done a lot of this kind of thing, with a dignified expression and no panic at all.

"And where are we going now?" Hibiscus asked Kong Shen, surprised, how did she feel hungry again......

"Do you remember the medicine garden of the Taiyi Bureau where we went during the day?" Kong Shen smiled at Hibiscus with a ghostly expression.

"Oh, hey, hey, go, go. Mu Hibiscus naturally knew what Kong Shen meant.

Shi Jing looked confused, what are these two people talking about??

......

So, a few people crept towards the Taiyi Bureau to the east, and they didn't encounter any obstacles along the way, which was very smooth.

"No, I don't feel right. Shi Jing followed behind Kong Shen and Mu Hibiscus, and along the way, he always had a strange feeling.

"What's so strange, second brother, you can make a fuss, how smooth it is for us to come all the way from the Suzaku Gate, there is no obstacle at all. Hibiscus said angrily.

"It's strange in this place, it stands to reason that this Ouchi Palace Castle should be heavily defended, why did we only meet the guards at the Suzaku Gate, and we didn't encounter it again when we went inside?" Shi Jing said his thoughts, at this moment, the night is getting deeper, the lights are on, although the entire Ouchi is also brightly lit, but there is no one on the road, this scene adds a bit of weirdness.

"Yes, second brother, when you say that, it's really like that. When Hibiscus said this, he still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

In such a place, if none of the guards who are checking are encountered, there are only two situations.

Either they're being targeted, or they're all mobilized to do something somewhere.

"Hibiscus, do you smell anything? Kong Shen, who had been silent, suddenly said something, and startled the hibiscus.

"I didn't smell ......," Hibiscus was about to subconsciously say, when suddenly she felt a different smell in her sense of smell.

"This taste...... There's ...... in it," Shijing said, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

"Dead second brother, say it quickly, grinding and chirping like a big girl!"

"It's cinnabar!and human blood!" these six words almost burst out from between Shi Jing's teeth, and Mu Hibiscus didn't know why her second brother was so angry.

Kong Shen had an expression of "sure enough", and only Mu Hibiscus looked at them stupidly.

"You know, right?" Shi Jing said with a pale and bloodless face at this moment, and his eyes were full of horror.

"Of course I know, Danxian Ge Hong's book, I memorized it when I was seven years old. Hibiscus said proudly.

"Then you should know that Ge Hong said in this book, 'Cinnabar is gold, and the sergeant who serves the immortal ascends is also. Later alchemists took this as a guideline and refined it into an elixir. Shi Jing gritted his teeth and said.

"Is it difficult, this is the ...... in the middle of the house" Mu Hibiscus felt that it was nothing, the emperor of which dynasty did not refine the pill, but she ignored an important detail.

"Don't tell her, I already have a rough idea in my mind, let's go in quietly and take a look." ”

After Kong Shen finished speaking, he pulled the two people and fled into the void, and the three of them came to a roof in the blink of an eye. As soon as Hibiscus and Shijing arrived on the rooftop, they smelled the rich smell of calcined cinnabar and blood.

Kong Shen carefully lifted a piece of tiles, and through the hole, they felt a wave of heat rushing towards their faces, followed by the sound of talking inside.

"Over there, is the cinnabar calcined?"

"Alright, alright. ”

"Hurry up, be quick with your hands and feet, pour these thirty taels of cinnabar into it from the northeast corner, hurry up, you, you missed His Majesty's major event, and your ten heads are not enough to cut off." ”

"Hey, hey, the minion is here. ”

......

The three people on the roof could see a dozen people moving around just this small opening, working around a huge medicine pool, and people were constantly adding cinnabar and bottles of milky white viscous slurry to it.

The liquid in the pool was crimson and viscous, and it was constantly bubbling under the action of heat.

"Brother Kong, what the hell is this?" Mu Hibiscus lowered his voice and asked Kong Shen.

"Alas, these people can't escape the temptation of these things after all......" Kong Shen sighed and said something inexplicable, Mu Hibiscus didn't understand, but Shi Jing understood the meaning of Kong Shen's words.
