In the evening, the sun gradually falls from the sky, rendering the entire sky purple, orange like maple leaves, or red like fire, beautiful and spectacular.
Qufu Academy, third floor, main hall.
The door was ajar, and the light inside was poor, but you could see two people standing side by side, a Taoist priest and an emperor.
On the ground, there was a body wrapped in clothes.
After several minutes of silence, Cao Yi said, "Pindao, I'm leaving."
Ying Zheng just nodded.
There was a sound of a door closing, followed by the sound of retreating footsteps.
Not long after, a plain-looking old soldier opened the door and walked in.
"His Majesty"
Ying Zheng glanced at the old soldier and said, "Speak."
The old soldier bowed and said, "I have visited villagers in the mountains and fields in the Dongshan area of Kuaiji. They all said that one day, a peach forest fell from the sky. There was a courtyard in the forest, and two or three people came in and out. Among them was Taoist priest Cao who had just left. Later, Taoist Cao first went to the Xiang family's secluded place, and then went north. On the way, he encountered Lu Gong's family being besieged by Juye thieves. He came to help him, and then lived in the Lu family in Pei County. During this period, the thief Peng Yue gathered a group of Juye people to steal in Peize. Wanting to take revenge, the guilty star suddenly descended, and Peng Yue and Ju Ye's bandits disappeared. After that, Your Majesty will know."
Ying Zheng closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes again and said, "I know, let's go down."
"promise"
The old soldier handed over his hands and walked out cautiously.
Ying Zheng looked at the corpse on the ground, looked at it for a long time, turned around and walked to the window, looked at Cao Yiyuan's back, and uttered a sentence in an uncertain tone: "If you are ordered by God, you will live forever?"
…
Cao Yi, who returned to the camp, opened the purple, gold and red gourd and inspected the harvest just now.
The scroll is more than a foot long, fiery red in appearance, and has two small seal characters on it - Qin Tian.
When Cao Yi was about to touch the scroll, he stopped, walked out, and returned a moment later with a hare in his hand.
Place the struggling hare on the scroll. Half a moment passed, and nothing unusual happened.
Seeing this, Cao Yi let the hare go.
Picking up the scroll and preparing to open it, Cao Yi felt something was wrong and released Yelu Zhigu.
"Open it"
Yelu Zhigu opened the scroll without hesitation.
An elegant scene of an ancient man playing a flute while boating on a foggy sea slowly emerged.
Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out and hit Yelu Zhigu's eyebrows, and then let out a scream. Then, a line of black smoke rose from Yelu Zhigu's head and went away with the wind.
"Sure enough, I have a backup plan."
Cao Yi muttered to himself.
Seeing that Yelu Zhigu's movements stopped, he said again: "Continue"
Yelu Zhigu continued to read, and the scene of ancient people boating and playing flute on the foggy sea was fully revealed, and a line of small characters appeared on the side - Canghai Tide Shengqu.
"The music from the sea should be the one played by Xu Fu." Cao Yi nodded and said, "Continue."
Yelu Zhigu turned over less than a finger this time, and it was gone, leaving only a dragon tail exposed.
Cao Yi frowned slightly. The scroll ended here. It was obviously unreasonable. Some means must be needed to continue reading.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task of obtaining the Qintian Scroll."
"Reward: a one-time item, no name, no function, two thousand miles across the land, can quickly return to Yuxu Temple."
Seeing this reward, Cao Yi knew that it was almost time to leave this world.
In the following days, Cao Yi became busy.
Half of the disciples, who had expanded to a hundred, were sent to Linzi to establish a foundation. After that, I went there in person, but it wasn’t far anyway.
Organize more manpower to prepare gunpowder.
A small part of the "Method of Returning Gold Liquid to Alchemy" was passed down to only a few people.
Many precepts were made, which were very strict, to prevent Taoist priests with low moral character from misbehaving in the future relying on the power of Taoism.
…
The system indicates that the tasks of establishing Taoism and laying the foundation are completed, and the rewards will be distributed after returning to Yuxu Temple.
Today is a sunny day.
The sky is like a piece of blue paper, with a few thin white clouds floating slowly in the wind as if they have been melted by the sun.
Pei County, Lu family.
In the courtyard planted with many sycamore trees, there are familiar faces standing there.
Dongmen Qing and Uber have been hacked a lot.
The pretty and pretty Lu Su.
The generous Lu Pheasant.
The gentle and gentle Lu Gong.
Li Si is calm and steady.
Shen Yi solemn Zhang Han.
The magnificent Ying Zheng.
These people came forward one by one to say goodbye.
Some sigh, some are reluctant to give up.
Finally, the one who walked over was Ying Zheng, who had the highest status.
"Your Majesty is looking better and better."
Cao Yi praised.
Because he had been taking the medicine for a period of time, Ying Zheng not only looked good, but the wrinkles caused by old age were also gone. He looked more than ten years younger and looked like he was in his prime.
"Taoist Master"
The expression on Ying Zheng's face was a little complicated.
Cao Yi smiled and said: "There is no banquet in the world that lasts forever."
Ying Zheng nodded: "Not bad"
Cao Yi turned his eyes to everyone, and finally stopped at Dongmen Qing and You Bo, admonishing: "Keep your duty."
Dongmen Qing and Youbo quickly bowed and agreed.
Cao Yi nodded and said in his heart to leave.
In the originally silent sky, the wind and clouds changed, as if a hand from outside the sky was constantly stirring. After a while, the chaotic clouds parted, and a ray of purple air enveloped a green cow and fell from the sky.
It shocked everyone present.
Cao Yi glanced at the almost transparent green cow, jumped lightly, and climbed onto the cow's back.
The green bull slowly rose into the sky, and the buildings and people on the ground began to shrink.
"Is there still a day when Taoist Priest and I can see each other again?"
Ying Zheng's voice came from below.
Cao Yi turned his head and said, "Yes."
As soon as the words fell, Qing Niu's speed suddenly increased and flew south. Leaving a long purple gas in the sky with no end in sight. Millions of people in the counties along the way witnessed it.
Dongmen Qing and You Bo recorded this incident.
"The ancestor traveled south, the purple energy was mighty, rolling like a dragon, and it was more than a thousand miles long."
…
Kuaiji Dongshan.
The scene of the peach blossoms in full bloom has passed, and there are fallen petals everywhere, giving people a very sad feeling.
Cao Yi walked through the peach forest step by step and came to Yuxu Temple.
An old servant was dozing on the steps.
"Old Man"
Cao Yi shouted softly.
The old servant opened his eyes, saw Cao Yi, looked at him for a while, and asked uncertainly: "But Mr. Cao?"
Cao Yi nodded.
"That's great, I can finally go back to my master and say goodbye."
The old servant cupped his hands and left quickly.
Seeing the old servant walking in a hurry, Cao Yi looked confused.
"Don't care about the old man's business"
The voice of an old servant in the distance.
Cao Yi opened the door suspiciously and saw the mess everywhere.
Xiaotian ran out of a room, holding something in his mouth and shaking his head, having fun.
"cough"
Cao Yi coughed.
Xiao Tian raised his head and saw Cao Yi, his face froze.
