After a night of partying, Wang Zheng woke up from a hangover. After separating himself from Luo Xiaomei, he felt much refreshed.
This is a bamboo house built in a mountain stream. Judging from the green bamboo strips, it should have been built in the last one or two days.
Wang Zheng looked at Luo Xiaomei’s blushing face and knew that she had woken up and was just pretending to be asleep.
After thinking for a while, Wang Zheng got up and dressed, and said, "I'll go out and get you some water."
Luo Xiaomei made an imperceptible "hmm" sound as a response to Wang Zheng.
As soon as he opened the door, Wang Zheng had to cover his eyes. Although the sun had just risen, it was still very dazzling. After getting used to it for a while, Wang Zheng walked to the stream with the bamboo tube.
The mountain stream water was sweet and clear. Wang Zheng drank a full bamboo tube and felt refreshed all over. His hangover-ridden mind became much clearer. Then Wang Zheng scooped up the water to wash his head, face, neck and chest. He immediately felt refreshed.
Seeing Wang Zheng and his group appear, the two middle-aged Taoist priests looked at each other. The middle-aged Taoist priest with a Chinese character face bowed and asked, "Who are you? What is your purpose of coming here?"

Luo Xiaomei exclaimed and grabbed Wang Zheng, "Is there a monster?"
Wang Zheng laughed, "If I were to do it, it might be bigger than their battle."
Wang Zheng looked at the smoke rising from the hillside in the distance and couldn't help frowning.
The Ba people at the foot of the mountain were a little noisy for a while, but then slowly calmed down. This was quite interesting.
"Hahaha."
"For two or three months, there have been loud noises coming from the mountain from time to time, accompanied by smoke rising. The elders in the tribe said that there were animals in the mountain that had become spirits, and they canceled this year's autumn hunting."
"Come with me to Yuzhou later."
Well, it should be the blessing of the cave to achieve such a great effect. Otherwise, sulfur and saltpeter alone would not be enough, no matter how much they were. Otherwise, this thing would have been used in military affairs long ago.
There was a cave halfway up the mountain. Two middle-aged men in Taoist costumes were sitting at the entrance of the cave, sighing. They exchanged a few words from time to time, and their faces were not only dark but also bitter.
The middle-aged Taoist showed a trace of surprise, "So it's the chief steward who's here. Excuse me, I'm Lu Yan."
As a person of later generations, Wang Zheng naturally would not abide by those rules. He is seventeen and Luo Xiaomei is sixteen. Since they like each other, they should be together. This is Wang Zheng's attitude towards marriage.
"Master, are you okay?"
"Big Steward."
Lu Yan pointed at the thinner Taoist priest next to him and said, "This is Qingxuzi. I am ashamed to have disturbed the chief steward."
Hearing Wang Zheng's words, Li Si was obviously stunned for a moment, "Are Taoists making elixirs so fierce?"
Now Wang Zheng naturally has to take Luo Xiaomei away. As for the wedding and so on, he has to notify Wang Xian before considering it.
Luo Xiaomei nodded again.
Wang Zheng was delayed for a while, and Zhang San and Li Si came over with their men.
Zhang San wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're okay. It's not safe in the mountains. Let's get down the mountain quickly."
After hearing Wang Zheng say this, the group of people who were originally a little worried immediately relaxed. They had often seen Wang Zheng's abilities, and in their minds, Wang Zheng was basically omnipotent.
Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head. "It's not unsafe, and there are no monsters. Someone is refining the elixir. I just want to see how the Taoists make the elixir. Now that we've come across it, let's go and take a look."
This time, Wang Zheng brought ten young Ba people besides Zhang San and Li Si, one to serve as his bodyguards, and the other to have a blind date.
According to the rules of the Ba people, even though the two of them are already husband and wife, they are not actually husband and wife yet.
"Master."
Then the two of them went out together. Just as they were about to go down the mountain, there was a loud noise suddenly heard in the distance. Wang Zheng felt that the ground actually shook slightly.
Just then, a breeze blew over from the direction where the loud noise came from. Wang Zheng smelled the faint smell of sulfur in the air and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This is because a great Taoist master was refining an elixir. How much saltpeter and sulfur did he use to cause such a large battle?
Lu Yan was more humble. Qingxuzi meant that they should follow the principle of first come first served. The two of them cooperated quite well.
Wang Zheng found it a little funny to see Luo Xiaomei looking shy. They had known each other for more than a year, so Wang Zheng knew Luo Xiaomei's personality very well. She was usually a smart and straightforward girl, but now she acted like a little girl.
Wang Zheng looked at Luo Xiaomei and asked, "When did this loud noise occur?"
After the Harvest Festival, the two of them had a secret meeting for a month. If Luo Xiaomei could get pregnant, Wang Zheng would have to marry her. If not, Wang Zheng could just leave.
Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "Those are also very capable people. We still have to respect them. I will go there myself."
Since it is a human and not a monster, there is nothing to worry about. Zhang San smiled and said, "Since the master wants to see it, I will bring people to help the master find the person."
"I'm fine."
Wang Zheng walked over and handed Luo Xiaomei the bamboo tube filled with stream water, saying, "Drink some water first."
The smoky place didn't look far away, but the mountain road was difficult to travel on. With only the direction but no road, it took Wang Zheng and his team more than an hour to finally find the place.
"Yeah." Luo Xiaomei nodded slightly.
Wang Zheng returned the greeting, "I am Wang Zheng. You two are refining the elixir here and have disturbed others. I came to see what you two call each other."
Qingxuzi bowed to Wang Zheng and said, "Although this place is not often used, we have indeed been here for many years. The young lady from the Ba clan beside the chief steward should have seen me several times in these years."
"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause you any trouble. I just heard a loud noise in the distance and saw smoke rising. The breeze smelled of sulfur and saltpeter, so I wanted to come over and take a look."
Hearing Wang Zheng say this, the two men's expressions relaxed a little. They had naturally heard of Wang Zheng's name, and in their impression, he was a killing god.
The Tang Dynasty had been peaceful for decades, and nothing major had happened. However, in just over a year since Wang Zheng took action, the Zhang family had been wiped out and Yuzhou City had been reduced to ashes. This really frightened them and they couldn't afford to provoke him.
At this time, Wang Zheng was thinking about how to trick these two people into his hands. They were chemists of this era and were considered top talents.
Moreover, Lü Dongbin seems to be called Lü Yan.
