Chapter 281: Going Far Away

At this time, Yao Xiu really rushed more than a thousand slaves with handcuffs and leg irons and tattoos on their faces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info followed his master, Qimen Daoren, and also took Zheng Longling, the six-year-old prince of Changhe Kingdom, who was carried all the way by the slaves on his shoulders. After nearly a month of trekking, he has arrived at the territory of Yelang's hometown.

Yao Xiu's master's name is Qi Men Lie, and he looks to be in his sixties, with a gray beard, and he never leaves his hands. When he was young, he repaired the aisle in Yuanling on the Qianzhong Road. Later, he betrayed his master and fled west to Nanzhao. With his martial arts, he is also well-known in the rivers and lakes of the southern country. But he did not go out of his career, devoted himself to cultivating martial arts, lived in seclusion in the mountains, and lived in seclusion without asking about the world. Only the fact of immortality moved him to come out of the mountain again.

Yao Xiu asked the master who was dressed in a Taoist robe and had a red face: "Master, thank you for going out of the mountain this time to help the apprentices find a prescription for immortality for the emperor." Concubine Xianyun said that no matter what recipe she found, she would send it back to the emperor. Give the credit to the little prince, and after you go back, you will ask the emperor to canonize you as a national teacher. ”

Qi Menlie said quietly: "You kid has been in vain all these years? What are you thinking in your little mind? If I want to be a national teacher, I still need your kid's recommendation?"

Yao Xiu said: "Master is right, then Master, you made an exception to go out of the mountain this time, and traveled thousands of miles to come to this wild place with your disciples, I don't know what you want?"

Qimenlie said: "I have taught you for so long, I didn't expect you to be so stupid, I really taught you for so many years, don't say that you are a disciple of Qimenlie when you go out in the future." ”

Yao Xiu asked, "Master, did the disciple say something wrong?" What do you mean, the apprentice doesn't understand. ”

"Let me ask you, why did we come all the way this time and bring this little doll who didn't know anything to Yelang?"

Yao Xiu said: "Of course, it's to help the emperor find a prescription for the elixir of longevity." ”

He said, "That's right. ”

Yao Xiu said: "But Master, haven't you always believed that there is alchemy in the world for immortality?"

"Of course I don't believe in those ordinary methods, but this time it's different. ”

Yao Xiu asked, "What's different this time?"

"When I was young, I studied Taoism in Yuanling in Qianzhong Road, and I heard at that time that there was a mysterious fairy mountain near the former capital of Yelang, and there was a mysterious sect on that mountain, and their head could live to be more than two hundred years old, and he could always maintain the appearance of twenty years old. ”

Yao Xiu asked, "Master, it turns out that you have heard this rumor a long time ago, so may I ask Master if you have ever been to 牂 (zāng) 牱 (kē) to find this party?"

"That's right, I came to Yelang many times decades ago to look for it, but to no avail. ”

Yao Xiu asked, "Why, Master?"

Qi Menlie said: "The legendary immortal mountain is too mysterious, and no one can find out where it is. ”

At this time, I only heard Zheng Longyan, the young prince of Changhe and the country, shouting: "Stop, let me down." ”

Yao Xiu turned around and waved his hand to stop.

"Little Prince, what's the matter?" Yao Xiu asked.

The six-year-old little prince Zheng Longyan jumped off his shoulder and shouted: "It's not fun to sit on your shoulder all the time, it's not fun." I'm going to sit on my neck and ride on my back. ”

Yao Xiu said: "Little prince, we have to hurry up This mountain road is rugged, if we ride on our backs, we will walk very slowly, and we will not be able to reach our destination for a long time." ”

Zheng Longyan shouted reluctantly: "I don't care, I don't care, I'm going to ride it around my neck, you quickly find someone to ride for me." Otherwise, I'll ride on your neck. ”

Yao Xiu had no choice but to say to his soldiers: "Go find a slightly stronger slave and let him carry the little prince away." ”

The subordinate soldiers said: "If you return to the commander, there are no strong slaves, they are all skinny. ”

Yao Xiu said angrily: "If I ask you to find it, hurry up and find it, otherwise you will come to carry the little prince." ”

The subordinate hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, my subordinates will go and find it." ”

After a while, the soldier found a slave in his twenties and asked him to carry Zheng Longyan and walk down the road with difficulty.

"Whose idea was this?" and "Why did you bring such a small doll with you?" ”

Yao Xiu said: "Hey, there is no way to do it, this is all the meaning of Concubine Xianyun, he wants the prince to go with us, if he finds the formula, even if it is the prince's credit, waiting to canonize the prince." ”

Qi Men Lie said: "The scheming of this harem woman is really not simple. ”

Yao Xiu said: "No, this virtuous concubine is not simple, so the disciple does not dare to offend, so he can only agree to her request." ”

He said: "This is all a bad move to fight for power and profit, who would believe that this merit can be made by a six-year-old doll?"

Yao Xiu said: "But the emperor will believe it, if we really find the recipe for immortality, the emperor will be happy for a while, and he will definitely make him the crown prince." ”

Qi Men Lie smiled: "It seems that this mediocre emperor will not be too long. ”

Yao Xiu said: "This, the apprentice doesn't know, but the apprentice tries his best to find the recipe for the legendary elixir of longevity, and it's good to go back." Master, may I ask if we are going directly to that immortal mountain now?"

Qi Men Lie shook his head and said, "No." ”

Yao Xiu asked, "Then where are we going?"

"I once heard my master grandfather say that when he was young and wandering, he went to the immortal mountain by chance. He said the mountain was an isolated island surrounded by a mysterious weak lake. The river of weak water, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, can't cross it. So even if you go, it's useless. ”

Yao Xiu asked in surprise, "Master, what kind of weak water lake?" The disciple didn't understand what you were talking about. ”

"Weak water originally refers to the turbulent water in the shallows, which is difficult to navigate. But the water of the fairy mountain is very strange, it is hidden in the mysterious lake, ordinary iron boats and wooden boats, can not cross the lake, understand?"

Yao Xiu nodded and said, "Oh, I see, I didn't expect there to be such a magical lake in the world." ”

Qimen Lie said: "That's right, when I was learning the Tao in Yuanling, my ancestor Miguang Dao Master told me. He said that he got lost when he traveled here, and accidentally broke into the mysterious fairy lake. There was no life in the lake, and any plant or tree thrown into it would turn into black charcoal. It was the holy lake of Yelang's hometown, and the people of Yelang's hometown didn't dare to touch it easily. ”

Yao Xiu said: "I see, is that weak water really that powerful?"

"Of course, since the early years of the Tang Dynasty, there have been monks and Taoists from all walks of life who went to Xianshan to seek medicine, and it is said that none of them came out alive. ”

"It's so scary, then why don't we go again?" asked Yao Xiu timidly.

"Of course I went, I heard a few years ago that as long as you can break the Yelang Heavenly Book engraved on the cliff, you will have the opportunity to enter the mysterious Yelang Immortal Mountain. It's a pity that I didn't learn the Yelang script, and even if I see the Book of Heaven now, I don't understand what is written. ”

Yao Xiu said: "Great, Master, do you know where the Yelang Heavenly Book is engraved?"

"Of course I know, it's in a hidden valley, where there is also the sacrificial platform of the ancient kingdom of Yelang. ”

Yao Xiu said: "That's great, let's go to the cliff where the Yelang Tianshu is located first, maybe we can find the entrance to the fairy mountain." ”

Qi Men Lie said: "Such a simple truth, do you think that others don't know? I don't think it's difficult to find the entrance to the Immortal Mountain." But even if we find the entrance, we can't cross the weak lake, and it will be in vain. So let's go find something that can cross a weak lake first. ”

Yao Xiu asked, "Then what kind of things do we have to find to cross this weak water lake?"

Qi Men Lie: "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to follow me, and everything will be done by me." ”

Yao Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, Master, thank you for your hard work!"

"This is what I have wanted to do for many years, but I have never had the opportunity. This time, I just practiced the Mixed Yuan Divine Skill, and I met you to come to Yelang to find a prescription, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, God help me. ”

Yao Xiu said: "It turns out that Master, you practiced the Mixed Yuan Divine Skill, just for this matter?"

He said: "Of course, do I still want to go to the Central Plains to compete for the ranking of the first in the world in martial arts on the "Famous Spectrum of Zhige"? ”

Yao Xiu said: "Master is right, even if he is the first in the world in martial arts, he will live to be seventy or eighty years old at most. If you can get the secret recipe for longevity, you can stay young forever. ”

"I don't know if I can stay young forever, but it is rumored that it is not a problem for this party to live at least two hundred years old." This rumor has been circulating for hundreds of years, and I believe there must be some basis for the so-called groundlessness. ”

Yao Xiu said: "Great, Master, no matter how much it costs this time, we have to find this way." ”

"Of course, I asked you to ask the faint king for his life and bring so many slaves over, just because of this." ”

Yao Xiu's eyes widened and asked, "What does Master mean, that weak water lake..."

Qi Menlie nodded and said, "That's right, it seems that you are not stupid." ”

Yao Xiu nodded sinisterly and said, "Master, it seems that you are still thoughtful, and the disciple admires!"

Yao Xiu's master and apprentice took the little prince Zheng Long, drove the slaves and came to the re-emerging 牂 (zāng) 牱 (kē) tribe at this time. (To be continued.) )
