After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 613 Finally accomplished

   This is the great progress he made by putting himself in danger again and again.

   It is difficult, only he himself knows it.

  After the third week was completed, He Lingchuan slowly finished his work. He opened his eyes, and was about to stand up and look for water, when the soul-absorbing mirror suddenly called out: "Hey, look at the sky!"

  Heaven?

  The window was always open, He Lingchuan jumped out and looked up: "What?"

   "The star of the sky is bright!" The voice of the soul-destroying mirror became high-pitched and thin, "Ahahahaha, the tenth star of the Big Dipper, it's bright!"

  He Lingchuan first looked for the Big Dipper and nine stars, and then counted them, and it turned out that ten stars were twinkling.

   In the northwest of Tianshu star, there is an extra star shining.

   Before He Lingchuan could take a closer look, it disappeared.

"Huh?"

   He waited with bated breath.

   The people Li Qingge sent wouldn't be so unreliable, right? It took more than 20 days, and it was timed out, but it just flashed like this?

  What if Tiangong didn't notice? Didn't he wink at the blind?

   Fortunately, after more than a quarter of an hour, the star lit up again.

   "The people sent by the Master of Songyang Palace have finally reached the Wango Swamp!" The soul-destroying mirror howled happily, "You are safe!"

   It's safe too, hooray!

   These days, it has been worried and frightened by its owner.

  He Lingchuan looked at the twinkling star and let out a long sigh of relief, a huge stone in his heart fell to the ground.

  As soon as he arrived in Lingxu City, he asked Li Qingge to send someone to take the latest version of Xinglongzhu to the small country northwest of Beja, and take it to Wange Swamp for trial use.

   This is the latest product of the Dafang Pot, and it is "probably" contaminated with its scent. He Lingchuan hoped that it would attract the attention of the gods, and he was really stared at and breathless.

   Now that he has passed the Fayan test, both the gods and the demon emperor should be less interested in him.

  If Luo Xing flashed again today, and the location marked by the fetish was in Wange Swamp, then he and Fu Shanyue should be completely cleared of suspicion.

   Alas, a belated boost is also a boost.

  He Lingchuan murmured: "I hope it will be useful."

  His next actions are very important, and he must not be targeted by the gods again.

  …

  That night, the bell echoed in Tianshu Peak.

  When Bai Ziqi arrived at the Zhaixing Tower, the chief envoy Du Yun had already bowed and stood in front of the heavenly book.

"how was it?"

   Master Du Yun pointed to the stars in the sky: "Look."

  Bai Ziqi looked up, with a serious expression on his face: "The star in the sky is lit... Where is the divine object?"

   Chief Envoy Du Yun stretched out the tip of his staff and tapped lightly on the sand table: "Here."

   "Is this the country of Ju?" Bai Ziqi's voice was full of surprise, "Why is it outside Beja?"

  He thought...

"It seems that your original investigation was in the wrong direction." Chief Envoy Du Yun said in a condensed voice, "This is Ju Kingdom. Judging from the scope of the fetish display, the Dafang Pot appeared in the Wange Forest and Wange Swamp area. You Have you been there?"

Bai Ziqi nodded: "It was already twenty years ago that I went on a trip when I was young. The Wange Swamp is inaccessible, but there are several towns around the Wange Forest, mainly engaged in forest product business. At the same time, there are several towns colluding with the north and the south, It's a traffic hub."

  He paused: "Do you want your subordinates to investigate?"

   Chief Envoy Du Yun shook his head: "According to the will of the gods, you stay in Lingxu and continue to investigate the case of elixir. We will send another person to Wange Swamp."

   "Yes." Bai Ziqi looked at the sand table, a little unwilling, "When will the Tian Luo star light up?"

   "At the beginning of Xushi (19 o'clock), it flickers and then goes dark." Chief Envoy Du Yun knew about Bai Ziqi, and seeing the expression on his face, he asked, "Have you made any progress in tracking down Prince Chiyan and the special envoy?"

  Bai Ziqi shook his head: "No."

   "Miao Zhan Tianshen also tested the young man surnamed He with a touchstone, and there was nothing abnormal."

  Bai Ziqi responded immediately: "This subordinate has lost his sight and is willing to accept the punishment."

   Miao Zhan's magic power is boundless, and the touchstone never makes mistakes. It is all because of Bai Ziqi's persistence to spend a lot of energy for a young apprentice.

   There was even a little mistake in the end, even Fu Shanyue couldn't try it.

   Chief Envoy Du Yun wanted to remind Bai Ziqi that He Xiao had passed the litmus test and was proven innocent. Now that the Tianluo star has been lit for three times, and the place where the Dafang Pot appeared is thousands of miles away, there is no need for Tiangong to waste manpower and energy on Fu Shanyue and He Xiao.

   "There is no need to investigate these two people anymore." Master Du Yun said, "Go and tell Fan Long."

   "Yes." Bai Ziqi sighed slightly in his heart.

  The horse stumbles, and his senses aren't always right.

So be it.

  …

   Also on this night, Hong Chenglue rushed to the Autumn Palace.

  Autumn Palace is on the edge of Frost Lake, and Hong Chenglue walked a small path surrounded by green trees. People who come here for the first time may not be able to find this hidden path even if they pass by the lake.

  Go back more than ten feet, and there is light.

   This is a two-story small building, built on the side of Huiwan Bay, with an old osmanthus fragrance at the door, and three or five late jades in the lotus pond facing the wind.

  The courtyard is quite simple, with square bricks, a fish tank, and an old maple plant, its branches are like claws, and the red leaves are like blood.

  Shuangye Guoshi sat on the bamboo chair in the courtyard and looked up at the sky. He didn't look back when he heard Hong Chenglue coming, but pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit."

  Hong Chenglue sat down immediately.

  He was born in the army, sitting like a clock, always upright, in contrast to Shuangye Guoshi's casualness.

   "Master National Teacher, did you call me?"

Master Shuangye didn't answer, but put his hands behind his head, and said leisurely: "When I was young, there was such a red maple near my house. I had no playmates, and my mother couldn't accompany me. Year after year, I often Sitting under a maple tree looking up at the night sky like this."

  The national teacher is telling him, why is it called Shuangye? Hong Chenglue didn't answer.

  Shuangye Guoshi asked him: "What about when you were young?"

   "I am an orphan." Hong Chenglue remained expressionless, "Only Ah Jin grew up with me."

   "Yes, you are an orphan, why did I forget?" Shuangye Guoshi sighed, pointed to the sky and asked, "See what's different?"

  Hong Chenglue raised his head, and saw the vast night sky with bright stars.

  He was not familiar with the astrology. After looking at it for a while, except for a few stars, he didn't see anything special.

"Feel sorry."

  Shuangye Guoshi pointed to the sky: "Do you recognize the Big Dipper stars?"

   "I know."

   "How many do you count?"

  Hong Cheng briefly counted, with a look of surprise on his face: "Nine... no, ten? Hey, why is the sky star bright?"

  He knows that Tianluo star shines brightly every autumn and winter, but it doesn't keep flickering like this.

"Actually, the Tianluo star has unexpectedly brightened twice this year, and the Tiangong is very nervous." Shuangye Guoshi said slowly, "I heard that the Tianluo star often flashed without warning before and after my birth. You know what happened at that time event?"

  The year when Shuangye Guoshi was born, about 150 or 60 years ago? Hong Chenglue thought about it carefully: "The Baiyu Port riot?"

"That's right. At that time, Bega didn't suppress it immediately, which made this hole bigger and bigger; and in the west, the rise of Panlong City under Zhong Shengguang's management was almost too big." Shuangye Guoshi smiled, "Therefore, Tianluo Starlight is often considered a harbinger of impending chaos."

   Hong Chenglue stared at Tian Luoxing: "There are signs of chaos now?"

"Why not?" Shuangye Guoshi glanced at him, "In times of great chaos, it is also the time for generals like you to show their talents. I applied for you to go east, and the emperor finally agreed. You can move now."

  Hong Chenglue was overjoyed, stood up and bowed to him to the end: "Thank you, Imperial Teacher!"

  He has just returned to Beja, and his previous achievements are not counted. He urgently needs a few big victories to establish his position.

   However, Beja seldom fights, and military merits are very difficult to obtain. Fan's second child was transferred to the front line because of his sin. How many people envied him so much that their eyes turned red?

   Finally it was his turn. Shuangye Guoshi made a lot of contributions.

   "Behave well." Shuangye Guoshi told him, "The battle in the east is not easy."

  Everything was finally going back to the track he was familiar with, and Hong Chenglue had mixed feelings in his heart. The chance for a comeback came, but Ah Jin was gone.

   "My lord, I want to borrow something from you."

  ￥￥￥￥￥￥

  The next day, there was a visitor from Pianxiang Villa.

  This person is dressed in a blue robe, and there seems to be a smile in his eyes forever.

  He Lingchuan was surprised when he saw him:

   "Mr. Fang?"

   Isn’t this Fang Canran, the chief executive of the Golden Horn family? Although He Lingchuan asked Lao Ge to find out about him, he found nothing useful. I was busy recently, so I left this person behind.

   Unexpectedly, they came to the door by themselves.

  Fang Canran put down the teacup, stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Young Master He, I haven't seen you for half a month, and you and Prince Chiyan are already popular in Lingxu City."

  Recently, the Chiyan people have made a splash in Lingxu City. First, they chased after the elixir case, and then they were attacked twice. Afterwards, the emperor personally donated the house to apologize, and sent the same guards to surround the place where Prince Chiyan stayed.

  This kind of honor has not been enjoyed by others for a long time.

   "Where did Mr. Fang come from?" He Lingchuan smiled wryly, "We've been frightened for more than half a month."

"I think Mr. He looks very good, and his luck is also good. The case of immortal medicine will come to light sooner or later, so you don't need to worry too much about it." Fang Canran said a few good words, and then turned to the topic, "Today's visit is for Mr. He sent something."

   After finishing speaking, he took out a box from his arms.

   Following his movements, He Lingchuan's eyes landed on the seal ring on his finger.

  Opening the box, there was a leather drum inside, which was bigger than the biscuits that He Lingchuan used to eat.

  This leather drum is probably old, and the leather is yellow, but the drum surface is painted with landscapes, jungles, and the moon.

  Landscape paintings are very common, and adding a moon is not uncommon.

  But the dense jungle in the mountains is so lifelike, as if the leaves will move when the wind blows, and the mushrooms will pop out on the ground. This is the first time He Lingchuan has seen it.

  In the forest on the side of the mountain, there is also a small courtyard with two entrances. There are fences, rollers, tables and chairs in front of the house, and a well in the back of the house.

  There is a long string hanging under the eaves. I don’t know if it is pepper or firecrackers.

   This is no longer like a landscape, but like a meticulous painting.

   "This is?" He Lingchuan had never seen it before, but he vaguely guessed something.

   "Dreamland."
