Chapter 408 What are you doing? !
Guanghan Sect first searched Ziyuan before notifying Chaotianque of the matter.
After all, such a secret nest that has existed for who knows how long might store some cultivation resources. Those people from Utsunomiya fled in a hurry and might not be able to clean up everything.
Unfortunately, the results of the search disappointed them. There was nothing useful in the tomb-like nest. Its scale was as vast as a palace, and there were some extremely luxurious places of enjoyment.
But for these practitioners, some...
It's nothing but disgusting.
The clues inside show that these people did many inhumane things.
Later, Chaotianque's troops arrived here and conducted a more detailed investigation.
The conclusion is that this is indeed the remains of the Yu Dynasty.
At this time, Li Chu had returned to Yaowang Town and talked about this matter with Changchun Sou and Xuanhu Weng. The two old doctors knew more than he imagined.
"According to unofficial history, the Yu Dynasty was in decline and on the verge of internal and external troubles. However, they suddenly built a secret mausoleum for the deceased emperor without considering the country's strength. No one knows where this mausoleum is located, and no one knows why it cost so much money. This incident also indirectly accelerated the demise of the Yu Dynasty."
After the matter was settled, Xuan Hu Weng also talked about it: "Now that I think about it, the imperial physician at that time must have found the formula of the elixir of immortality through inhumane experiments. And that Ziyuan is not a big tomb at all. It is a place built by the then-reigning Emperor Yu Chao for himself to enjoy eternal pleasure."
"The so-called immortality elixir..." Changchun Sou said in a deep voice, "It's just using the characteristics of the worm to take away people's lifespan. They first make a young woman pregnant, then implant the worm into her body, and use secret drugs to induce the worm to combine with the fetus, forming a dead fetus that robs the mother of her lifespan. The final immortality elixir... should be made from this dead fetus."
Li Chu frowned upon hearing this, "This behavior is even more abominable than the evil spirits that suck people's lifespan."
"That's right." Changchun Sou nodded and said, "So when I got a glimpse of the trick, I immediately destroyed all the information about the elixir of immortality. It's really chilling to think that these people have used this method to exist in the world for thousands of years."
If someone hadn't poisoned those mothers this time, involving the incident of Long Jueling seeking medical treatment, and if Changchun Sou happened to have this insight...who knows how many more people those villains would continue to harm.
"It's a pity that we didn't catch them all this time." Li Chu said again.
"Don't worry about that. It was fine that no one knew about this before. But now that the imperial court knows about it, Chaotianque will naturally intensify the search throughout the country. It would be fine if they hide honestly, but if they have any bad intentions again, they should not be able to escape." Xuanhu Weng comforted.
"Don't we need to worry if the imperial court intervenes?" Changchun Sou sighed meaningfully, "I am even more worried."
Xuanhu Weng looked at him, seemed to understand something, and his expression became solemn.
In this world, the better a person lives, the more he or she desires immortality.
…
The next day, another group of people came to Yaowang Town.
These people were all dressed in brocade clothes, red and black, holding up signs asking them to stay away and carrying a sedan chair.
The person in the sedan chair came from Chaoge.
Legend has it that in the imperial city, there always sits a supreme being, either a mythical beast or a master.
This is also a very reasonable guess. After all, if there is no master of sufficient importance in the imperial city, the emperor of the Heluo Dynasty will not be able to sit in peace.
Among all the speculations, there is one name, that is, the chief eunuch of the Jinyi Division, Feng Qianxi.
Feng Qianxi had served two generations of emperors, and had been in charge of the palace for fifty years without leaving. He had considerable power in the imperial city. The so-called Royal Jinyi Division was actually managed by him alone.
He never left the palace, and his nine adopted sons always walked around on his behalf. As long as they were called Feng Qianxi's adopted sons, even the high officials would be in awe of them.
The one who came this time was one of Feng Qianxi's adopted sons.
"My name is Feng Wu, and I'm here to convey an oral order to His Majesty." A tall, feminine and handsome young eunuch got off the sedan chair and said to Lang Yuguan who came to greet him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Fifth Eunuch. But my master is still refining the elixir and has no time to spare right now. Please wait for a moment, Fifth Eunuch." Lang Yuguan said.
"This oral instruction is not for the old genius doctor Changchun, but... for a Taoist priest named Li." Feng Wu said with a smile.
Lang Yuguan was stunned for a moment, then took Feng Wu to find Li Chu.
When Feng Wu saw Li Chu, his eyes suddenly lit up, "I've heard that Taoist Li has an extraordinary appearance. Seeing him today, I'm really amazed."
"Thank you for the compliment, eunuch." Li Chu nodded in thanks.
Then he looked at Feng Wu indifferently, not knowing what message he wanted to convey.
The words the emperor gave to himself... probably have something to do with what happened with Utsunomiya and Shion this time.
"Your Majesty, you heard about Taoist Priest Li's deeds the day before yesterday..." Feng Wu said.
"Oh?" This surprised Li Chu a little, but after thinking about it, it was not surprising.
After all, among the people he had come into contact with, there were many who were now in Chaoge, and there were also a few who could come into contact with the emperor.
"Since returning from Jiangnan, the Imperial Master has been full of praise for you. Now, there are few people around His Majesty who don't know the name of Taoist Master Li." Feng Wu chuckled.
It was indeed Li Maoqing.
Li Chu said: "It's just the Imperial Master's false praise."
"From what I heard from Chaotianque, the destruction of Utsunomiya this time was almost done by Taoist Xiao Li alone?" Feng Wu continued.
"It's mainly because they were cowardly and fled before the battle." Li Chu was not greedy for credit and said honestly, "I just made a small contribution."
"Master Xiao Li, don't be so modest..."
Feng Wu shook his head and said, "His Majesty was very pleased when he heard this. He immediately decided to reward Taoist Xiao Li with ten thousand taels of gold."
"Um?"
Li Chu's eyes lit up slightly.
The current emperor of the Heluo Dynasty...is indeed a wise ruler.
"It's just..." Feng Wu changed his tone, "His Majesty has ordered that if you want to redeem this bounty, you have to wait until the Immortal Sect's imperial examination. Taoist Xiao Li, you can go to Chaoge in person to see the emperor and claim it."
“…”
The light in Li Chu's eyes retracted again.
Without thinking too much, you can guess that it must have been Li Maoqing's idea.
He has stayed in Deyun Temple for so long and knows the correct way to get along with me...Using this trick is clearly forcing me to go to Chaoge City when the time comes.
In fact, Li Chu didn't mind taking a walk around the prosperous capital, but what Li Maoqing's purpose was... remained to be considered.
I had clearly rejected him about serving the imperial court, so he shouldn't mention it again. There was no point in participating in the imperial examinations.
I really couldn't figure him out for a moment.
Seeing him hesitate for a moment, Feng Wu did not bother with the etiquette and said goodbye immediately.
When dealing with these otherworldly practitioners, being too rigid about etiquette would only bring humiliation upon oneself.
The oral instruction was very short, and logically the matter had been completed, but Feng Wu still stayed in Yaowang Town. It was said that he would rest for one night and return tomorrow.
Li Chu took a look at the medicine house where Changchun Sou made medicine, and vaguely felt that the purpose of his trip might not be that simple.
Giving yourself a reward or a verbal order may be just a name. The real purpose lies elsewhere.
…
In Yaowang Town, where the atmosphere is a little heavy, Wang Longqi is probably the only happy person.
When the crystal clear life-shaping pill, freshly made from the oven, was presented to him, he was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.
Picking up the Life-shaping Pill, he said generously: "I am where I am today, all thanks to my good brother Li Chu. Over the years, you were there when the female ghost sucked my yang energy, you were there when the monster threatened to kill me, you were there when the demon cultivator poisoned me..."
"The medicine will lose its effect once it gets cold." Changchun Sou said lightly, immediately blocking all the words that followed.
Wang Longqi didn't dare to hesitate any longer and swallowed the pill in one gulp.
Then with a thud, he fell to the ground with his head raised.
"This is..." Li Chu looked at Changchun Sou.
"The process of the Life-Reshaping Pill reshaping the body will be like this. He will wake up in about a day and a night. By then, there should be nothing serious." Changchun Old Man said with a smile.
"I'm glad you're okay." Lao Du dragged Wang Longqi's leg and took him back to the attic.
Li Chu looked at Changchun Sou and asked in a low voice: "The envoy in the palace..."
"It's okay." Changchun Sou smiled and shook his head, saying, "Master Xiao Li, please rest assured that we old guys will never do anything dirty. No one can force us."
"Um."
He said this lightly, but Li Chu could also feel an invisible pressure. But since Changchun Sou said so, he could only nod slightly.
…
"ah!"
Wang Longqi screamed and woke up suddenly.
"Seventh Master, are you awake?" A dark face popped over, "How do you feel?"
"I feel great." Wang Longqi smiled and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"A whole day and night." Lao Du said, "The old doctor's calculations were extremely accurate."
Wang Longqi looked at the sky outside and saw the sun setting. He said hurriedly, "No, we almost missed it."
After saying that, he immediately put on his clothes, rushed out, and almost disappeared in a flash.
“Wow.”
Lao Du exclaimed in amazement, this life-shaping pill was truly magical, it could instantly turn a half-dead person into a wild dog on the loose.
He ran all the way to another attic not far away.
On the second floor, Wen Xiang was waiting anxiously when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Miss Wenxiang! It's me! The Wang Longqi you've been waiting for!"
"Contact person?" Wen Xiang raised her head quickly, stood up and opened the door, "You are finally here!"
"Yes..." Wang Longqi rushed in hurriedly, his face full of joy, "I can finally give you what you want!"
"Is the time ripe?" Wen Xiang raised her eyebrows.
The mission she had waited so long for was finally revealed, and she actually felt a little inexplicably nervous. She stood up, closed the doors and windows, and checked left and right again, cautiously guarding against eavesdropping, before she turned back.
"What mission did the mountain assign to me? Why did it take so long to ..."
Just in the blink of an eye, her words stopped abruptly, and then she changed the subject, shocked and angry.
"Why are you taking off all your clothes!?"
