Pushing open the door of the alchemy room, Wu Sheng, with fluffy bun and red eyes, walked out slowly. He spent forty days refining 700 Wushen Pills and 500 Winter Bamboo Shoot Bone Pills, almost three pills a day. Ten pieces.
If you really want to count it out, in the second half of the month when the spiritual materials are sufficient, the actual number of Richeng Pills reached the level of forty!
These days of immersing yourself in alchemy refining are hard work, but there are also many benefits. Every time you refining alchemy, the extreme tempering of your spiritual consciousness and the strong pressure on your true energy are excellent exercises for your cultivation.
Wu Sheng could clearly feel that when the alchemy reached its limit and the control of the true fire entered a subtle state, there seemed to be some mysterious linkage happening in the air sea. The clouds and smoke flowing above the islands were quietly changing their shapes in subtle and undetectable ways. .
Although the accumulation of spiritual sand has not continued to increase, the benefits in practice are still obvious.
When he came out, Master Dongzhan had already heard the news and asked, "Is it finished?"
Wu Sheng nodded: "Go to Sikong Mansion and hand over the elixir to Yi Sikong."
Master Dongsun hurriedly went in to take stock, and added: "People from the Ting Temple are looking for you, and they come here once a day. They don't know what's important, and they don't say anything even if they ask. You're just in the front hall."
Wu Sheng followed the old officials of the Ting Temple to visit Wei Yongji of the temple, and then he realized that he had encountered an assassination during the days when he was refining alchemy in seclusion.
"Thank you, Doctor Ji, for taking care of me, otherwise I might have been in danger!" Wu Sheng quickly thanked him.
Yong Ji said: "Doctor Shen is working hard for the country. This is Dayong's top priority. How can I not pay attention to patrol? It's just that the assassin escaped with trickery and searched the city again, but it was hard to find his trace. The old officials in the temple all said, like It was the method of a wild monster. The order was also there at the time. After the two of us discussed it, we had not reported it to the king yet, so we waited for Doctor Shen to come out of seclusion and wait until we had some clues."
Wu Sheng pondered: "The tactics of the wild monster? I know what Doctor Ji means. When I was in Mangdang Mountain, I got along well with the Lianshan tribe and I didn't offend the Cangwu tribe..."
Yong Ji said: "The assassin obviously came prepared. Before escaping, he announced his family name and said his surname was Dao."
Wu Sheng said curiously: "I only know Dao Baifeng, a guest of Yuan Sima clan, and I have never interacted with the other Dao people."
Yong Jidao: "After Dao Baifeng returned from Jiuzi, I asked him. According to what he said, the Dao clan was originally from the Gonglu tribe, but fifty years ago, it was destroyed by Zhu Zhen. Many people with the Dao surname were When you become a member of the Zhuzhen tribe, it is difficult to tell which one you are from, and there are even a few people from the Dao clan who went north, as is the case with his family."
"Zhu Zhen?"
"It's the Zhuzhen of Lieque Mountain. Not long after Dr. Shen joined Yong, it may be unknown. Among them, there is one from the Jiuzhen tribe who had a grudge against me, Dayong..."
Wu Sheng immediately realized: "Is it Wu Guzhen who abducted the prince's sister Yongjiang?"
Yong Ji nodded: "Yes, Jiuzhenbu is one of the Zhenbu. I wonder if Dr. Shen has offended the Jiuzhenbu?"
Last year, when Wu Sheng first came to Shangyong, he encountered Sima Yuanzi who led his troops to conquer the Jiuzhen tribe in the south. He returned in embarrassment from the battle. Only about 30 of the fifty monks who went on the expedition came back, and all of them were injured. The elixir refined by Wu Sheng , and therefore attracted the attention of Yuan Sima and even Qingyu.
But Wu Sheng recalled carefully that he had no enmity with Zhu Zhen at all, right? Why send someone to assassinate him?
Then he asked: "I don't know what Doctor Ji means..."
Yong Jidao: "Wu Guzhen used poison to lure Yong Jiang. Yuan Sima tried his best to fight again, but unfortunately he was blocked by a pair. Maybe there is some connection between them?"
Wu Ju really wanted to avenge the two of them, so he sent someone to assassinate him? This speculation is not unreasonable, but Wu Sheng always feels that it is a bit far-fetched, mainly because of the lack of evidence.
Only to hear Yong Ji say again: "The shame of Jiuzhen, all the officials have long thought about it, but the king is kind and cares about the relationship between brothers and sisters, and does not want to send more troops. But if the assassination of the doctor was done by the Jiuzhen tribe, the public is furious. , it is difficult for the monarch to stop the doctor from taking revenge."
Wu Sheng said thoughtfully, "I'll think about it again."
After leaving the Tingsi and returning to Yongrentang, Master Dongsun came to report: "All the elixirs have been handed over."
Wu Sheng asked: "Have you passed the test? When will we set off to escort Yangzhou?"
Master Dongsun said: "The elixirs refined by our Yongrentang don't need to be tested. They are put into the warehouse directly. They will be escorted by Zhong Situ tomorrow. The old man met in the warehouse. More than ten carts of rice and spiritual materials have already been packed. Yi Sikong even specially summoned me to give me some encouragement."
Wu Sheng asked: "Oh? What did he say?"
Master Dongsun smiled and said: "It's nothing more than those words, saying that Yongrentang works hard for Dayong. It's really hard for lay people. If there are difficulties on Mangdang Mountain, just tell him, he will never be vague. But as soon as I told him When he said he needed rice, he was vague. He only said that people could do it, but rice was difficult to raise. What needs to happen in Mangdang Mountain for him to help us? Unless we send people here, would he be willing to do it? "
Wu Sheng smiled and asked again: "Ting Si said that someone wanted to assassinate me a few days ago?"
Master Dongsun waved his hand: "What kind of assassination? It's just a thief! The old man asked the neighbors and dug a hole from the old Zhang's house. He wanted to sneak into Yongrentang and steal our spiritual materials. This thief is so stupid that he was discovered as soon as he entered the house. , I didn’t even know I had lost something, so I dug a tunnel and dug directly into the prison of the temple, hahahaha, I am laughing to death!”
The old man laughed so hard that tears almost came out, and wiped his eyes: "Did they say he was an assassin? Haha, I have never seen such a stupid assassin. If he was really an assassin, why did he let him go? He just wanted to show off his skills in front of the lay people. The layman can just say a few nice words and get rid of it, haha... What kind of thief is this? It's an anecdote..."
While they were joking, Dao Baifeng came: "Doctor, so-and-so is here!"
Although there is a huge difference in status now, Wu Sheng treats Dao Baifeng as before, and Dao Baifeng is also very relaxed in Yongrentang. Wu Sheng asked Master Dongsun to go out to prepare wine and food, and planned to drink with old friends. By the way, he asked Chu Wu war between.
After the food and drinks were put on the table and he sat down, Dao Baifeng said: "I went to Jiuzi this time and found that the intensity of the battle was unexpected. Yuan Sima also said that the current power of the Wu people is comparable to that of Dayong's heyday. Let's The five hundred men who were sent were not used as coolies, but were directly incorporated into Shendou Ke's Yangzhou camp, wearing armor and carrying sharp swords, to serve as regular soldiers, which shows the serious damage done to the Chu people."
Master Dongsun asked: "Isn't it four hundred? Why is it five hundred?"
Dao Baifeng smiled and replied: "There were people who defected to the army along the way, and they were all taken by Sima."
Wu Sheng asked him: "How is Wu Jun?"
Dao Baifeng said regretfully: "I wanted to go into battle, but unfortunately Sima refused, so I never saw it in person. But I heard from some warriors in the camp that the Wu swordsmen are very powerful. If it weren't for the problems with their tactics, the Chu people would probably lose." Understand……"
While eating wine, he listened to Dao Baifeng talking about his experiences before the army. Wu Sheng listened with great interest, and it was late at night before he knew it.
Wu Sheng then asked: "You came just in time. I heard that Ting Si once asked you about an assassin named Dao..."
Before he finished speaking, Dao Baifeng said firmly: "It must be the work of the Jiuzhen Department!"
Wu Sheng was startled: "I heard that this is not what you said when you were dealing with Yingting Temple."
Dao Baifeng scratched his head: "Ah... then I will tell the truth. Yuan Sima asked me to say so."
