One hundred thousand mountains.
Now that Shui Ion already knows the ownership of the Medicine King Cauldron and has told so many ancient secrets, there is no need for her to be confused with Shui Ion anymore.
"What price do I need to pay to obtain the elixir?"
Water ions said.
"As long as the Taoist priest is sincere in helping the court, the elixir will be easy to find."
Zi Yan gave her promise.
I haven't decided yet on what exactly the water ions are needed for. This transaction can be postponed. At this time, the most important thing is for both parties to be honest with each other and not to hide too much on important matters.
Especially since they are in underground passages, if they are hostile to each other and guard against each other, the harm caused is really too great.
"Pindao naturally helps the court. He has already done so once before. In the future, as long as the court does not let Pindao down, Pindao will not be an enemy of the court."
Shui Ion said calmly.
"Now that the Mingjun is in office, the Daqi court originally wants to correct the long-standing evils. All the previous cancers should be exposed. I will report these matters to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty make a decision. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Ziyan cupped her hands.
Some things are beyond her control.
She contributes to the court because the current emperor Qi Xingyun is a talented and wise king. Otherwise, she would not be able to work hard for the court easily. For some previous emperors of Da Qi, she would have abandoned her official position long ago.
In fact, the previous emperor would not tolerate a woman serving as a court official, and even served as a hidden guard officer.
The Hidden Guards are an institution directly under the emperor, and their power is extremely astonishing. They are the most feared institution by other officials in the imperial court. Many years ago, civil servants have been reporting to reduce the powers of the Hidden Guards. To this day, some of the powers of the Hidden Guards are They have been assigned to the Supervisory Station, and some of them have been sentenced to prison. The actual power is much smaller than when Da Qi was founded.
"The poor Taoist believes that if you agree, you will stay, and if you don't agree, you will go. Just like in this Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are many old-school masters living in seclusion. Many of them just can't understand some of the measures of the court, and then live in seclusion in the world."
Water ions said.
"There are also some people who are tired of the strife in the world and just want to live a secluded life."
The physique of a master warrior has been sublimated. As long as there are no accidents, it is usually easy to live for more than a hundred years. The body can even maintain sufficient physical fitness after being over a hundred years old, and does not age as obviously as ordinary people.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, Pindao suddenly remembered something important."
Shui Ion suddenly looked solemn.
"Taoist Master, please speak."
"The Yang family in Bozhou has an ancestor who is about eighty years old. His martial arts are extremely terrifying, and Pindao is far from his opponent."
Shui Ion said calmly.
"Can you still defeat the Taoist priest in your early eighties?" M..
Zi Yan was slightly surprised.
She knew that many master warriors were not afraid of aging, but it was inevitable to be surprised when such an example was put in front of them.
"The ancestor of the Yang family in Bozhou, his real name is almost unknown. We usually call him Yang Ancestor. This man's sword skills are superb. It is said that forty or fifty years ago, he was powerful and famous in the world."
"But the world changes every year. If the old man doesn't do something big, his reputation in the world will soon fade away. Young people may have never heard of the name of Yang's ancestor."
Water Ion took a deep breath.
"What the Taoist Master means is that Yang Yuanhua might invite that ancestor?"
Zi Yan raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, although the ancestor of the Yang family has lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for a long time and has not been involved in worldly affairs, if the Yang family in Bozhou is in danger of extinction, it is very likely that he will be persuaded by Yang Yuanhua to come out of his seclusion."
Water Ion explained.
"We have many grandmasters, so we should not be afraid of the ancestors of the Yang family."
Zi Yan didn't have much worry in her heart. After all, the ancestor of the Yang family was old and had never entered the realm of a grand master. It was unlikely that he could defeat the Eagle King and others on his own.
"Old Ancestor Yang is not alone. There were several well-known masters and warriors who lived in seclusion with him back then. They were all old masters from decades ago. They rarely appeared in the world. The world has almost forgotten them, but their martial arts did not delay them. .”
Water ions remind you not to be careless.
"I understand. I will consider this matter when I get back."
In fact, Zi Yan did not despise the ancestor of the Yang family. It was true that she was not worried. Although the grandmaster warrior was terrifying, it was still impossible to change the overall situation in front of the army.
"The exit is ahead."
At this time, a little light appeared in front of him. Ziyan's eyes had just adapted to the dark light in the underground passage. When they were stabbed by a bright light in front of them, their eyes still stung a little.
"The light shines directly in? This is not concealed." Zi Yan frowned.
"That's the vent. The location was chosen very cleverly. It's on the cliff halfway up the mountain. It's impossible for anyone to climb to that location. There are almost no gaps in the stones there, and at most there's only some moss covering them."
Shui Ion took out a palm-sized iron rod from his luggage, with a torx screw shape on the front.
"This is the thing that opens the mechanism."
In front, both Shui Ion and Zi Yan dismounted and walked to a stone door.
Looking from the inside, you can clearly see that it is a door.
The water ions pierce the iron rod in their hand into a groove on the top, and then rotate it gently.
Then, the stone door split to both sides, revealing an exit.
At this time, the sun was dazzling, and Zi Yan subconsciously blocked her eyes with her hands, adjusting to the dim light in front of her. The sudden bright light made her eyes feel uncomfortable.
"The road ahead will be smooth, just follow me."
The water ions closed the stone door. From the outside, there was no trace of the stone door at all. It looked like an ordinary stone wall.
In the next two days, Zi Yan followed Shui Ion and indeed walked through a road that was passable by horse.
However, Zi Yan realized that this road was still in danger of being discovered.
She won't decide whether to take this path or not.
She would tell Luo Xingchen her entire experience and let him make this decision.
A few days later, when Zi Yan returned to the camp, she saw a busy scene.
Many soldiers are carrying supplies.
Luo Xingchen was staying in the camp, looking at the sand table in front of him. This was remade and brought from Yizhou City.
"are you sure?"
Seeing Zi Yan coming back, Luo Xingchen raised his head in surprise and asked.
"Well, there is indeed a way..."
Later, Zi Yan told her experience exactly as it was.
"The underground passage built by the Tiansheng Sect..."
Luo Xingchen frowned slightly.
He was hesitating because he didn't know how trustworthy the water ions were.
If there is a problem with water ions, they can do it when their soldiers and horses enter the underground passage. When the time comes to block them in the tunnel, the entire army may be annihilated.
Such terrible consequences are unbearable for them.
