Talk about the world of mortals in detail

Taoist Xue and Zhong Xingwen in the prison were eating and drinking with open stomachs, but the old eunuch who returned to the palace felt a little sad.

The older the emperor gets, the more suspicious and irritable he becomes, and the more vague things he pursues. As one of the emperor's servants, the old eunuch naturally knows the emperor's temper quite well.

Coming back like this would obviously not satisfy the emperor, but after thinking about it again, there seems to be some content in the Taoist priest's nod and nod that can be interpreted.

Soon after, the old eunuch met the emperor in the imperial study room. The latter was obviously very concerned about the special prisoners in the sky prison. When he saw the old eunuch coming back, he put down his books and asked.

"How is it? Is Taoist Master Xue okay?"

The old eunuch nodded quickly and answered.

"Your Majesty, Taoist Master Xue is in good spirits and has no injuries on his body. He has been taken care of in the prison. Let the jailer take good care of him!"

The old emperor nodded.

"Then what does Master Xue have to say about what happened this morning?"

The old eunuch hurriedly came closer.

"Your Majesty, I have asked Taoist Master Xue. Taoist Master Xue is very secretive about this. However, Taoist Master Xue has seen and seen everything about painting Longshan. At least he can see it more clearly than we can, but"

"But what?"

The emperor asked quickly, but the old eunuch hesitated.

"However, the Taoist Master obviously had some grudges about the previous complaint. After the old slave asked briefly, he did not want to say more. The old slave thought that the future was long, and if he was forced too much today, he would arouse the Taoist Master's resentment, so he did not ask further questions. .”

The old emperor sighed and nodded.

"Well done! The Patrol Department also asked them to speed up the progress. By the way, Tianlao has to pass meals from the Imperial Kitchen every day. Don't neglect the Taoist Priest!"

"Yes, the old slave will supervise it personally!"

The old eunuch hurriedly promised that if this matter is done, it will be a great achievement!

Of course, if it doesn't work well, I'm afraid blame will be inevitable.

And the emperor couldn't help but ask.

"Do you think I should go see the Taoist Priest?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, you can't! I know that Your Majesty cares about the Taoist priest, but it's not the right time to go at this moment. It seems a bit too eager. In my humble opinion, it would be better to go after the Patrol Division has found results!"

The old emperor nodded slightly again.

"By the way, now that I think about it, Zen Master Dingzhen may have known Master Xue, but I forgot to ask him at Hualong Temple during the day. You have to go to Hualong Temple in person and ask Zen Master Dingzhen in person!"

The old eunuch was overjoyed and nodded in agreement.

"Old slave obeys the order!"

The sky was getting dark, and while the old emperor in the palace was still worried about Taoist Xue, in the prison, an uninvited guest came at this moment.

Whether it was some prisoners in the prison, the guards on duty, or the cell leader sitting on the entrance table, they all became sleepy without knowing it.

Gradually, the prison head fell asleep on the table.

A man walked in from the entrance of the prison. Wherever he passed, he could see the jailer who looked like he was drunk, and he could see the jailer sitting on the ground against the wall and sleeping soundly.

Moreover, these people all slept very deeply, and there was no sound of snoring.

When the man walked into the depths of the heavenly prison, a few vague white insects flew back to his hand, and then turned into a faint mist and dissipated.

In the deepest part of the prison, Taoren Xue, who was sitting cross-legged, frowned and opened his eyes.

"Captain Zhong, have you ever felt that the prison suddenly became quiet?"

Zhong Xingwen, who still didn't fall asleep after trying to sleep, also opened his eyes again. Xue Daoren didn't say that he hadn't noticed it yet, but the feeling became obvious as soon as he said it.

Indeed, although it was not noisy in the prison, there was still some movement. You could even hear the voices of other prisoners talking in the distance, the guards' scoldings, etc., but this time it was gone.

"No, there are footsteps!"

After Zhong Xingwen said this, he jumped up from the bed. The two of them looked in one direction towards the aisle, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

But a moment later, what appeared was neither a jailer nor a palace official, nor an official, but an old man in shabby clothes.

When he saw who was coming, Taoren Xue's face immediately showed surprise.

"Mr. Yu!"

Yu Weng stroked his beard and walked to the cell door, looking at Taoist Xue and Zhong Xingwen in the cell with a smile on his face.

"Taoist Xue, Mr. Zhong, are you okay?"

To be honest, Zhong Xingwen felt that the person who came here looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. When he heard the other person's name and voice, the original scene flashed through his mind.

Zhong Xingwen couldn't help but approach the cell door, pointed outside and said with excitement.

"You, you, you, old gentleman, are you the one who fell down on the street outside the inn?"

I still remember when the old man fell down and the passers-by on the street turned a blind eye. Zhong Xingwen helped him up, and the other person clapped his hands in his ear.

Zhong Xingwen's heart jumped suddenly, and he thought of something again at this moment.

It seems that he was awakened by a high-five at the old man's home in Xiaogu Village, Dingfeng County, Dahekou. If he had not woken up that time, he would not only have missed the opportunity to follow Chai Wang, but he would also be in trouble!

Yu Weng smiled and nodded.

"Captain Zhong finally remembered!"

When Taoist Xue heard this, he looked at Zhong Xingwen and then at the old man outside, with an expression of surprise and joy on his face.

"So it turns out that Captain Zhong has known Mr. Yu for a long time?"

"Taoist priest, it's a long story. You must, uh, you should believe it. By the way, old gentleman, this is the prison. How did you get in?"

Is this old man some noble person? It doesn’t look like it either!

However, Taoist Xue smiled. It seemed that although Zhong Patou knew Yu Weng, his knowledge was limited.

"Captain Zhong, this Mr. Yu is not an ordinary person."

If there is anyone in the world who can understand the true way of immortality, the old gentleman must be the most likely person!

Mr. Yu might even be an immortal!

"I came here specially to visit you two. One of you is loyal and courageous, and the other is walking towards the road, but no one is visiting you. I am also an acquaintance, so I came to take a look. Oh, it seems that there is no need to worry. Two Life in prison is going well!"

Yu Weng was joking like this because he saw the food on the table over there. It was quite a lot. The two of them didn't finish it all. There was more than half left. Although it was cold, they could still smell some fragrance.

"Zhizhi."

A mink's cry attracted Taoist Xue and Zhong Xingwen to look, only to see a small mink appear on the table at some point, picking up a chicken wing and gnawing happily.

"Oh, I haven't had any oil or water in my belly for more than a day."

Hearing this, Zhong Xingwen hurriedly walked to the table, looked at the mink who was eating chicken wings and was not afraid of people, then picked up a food box left by the old eunuch and walked to the fence.

It turns out that there are still vegetables in the food box, but not everything on the table.

At this moment, Zhong Xingwen had already placed the dishes on the ground one by one, and took out clean chopsticks and handed them over the fence.

Yu Weng was not polite and sat cross-legged outside the fence. He stretched out his chopsticks and picked out a plate of fried pork.

Afterwards, Taoist Xue and Zhong Xingwen, who had placed the dishes, also sat down cross-legged.

The little mink jumped over at some point. Zhong Xingwen waved the handle of his chopsticks as if to hit him, and the mink suddenly jumped onto the old man outside.

"Hehehe, don't be surprised if the bell catches the head. This is the one I keep by my side. It can also be regarded as a companion. Let's share some meals together."

"Well that's it"

"Zhi Zhi Zhi"

Diao'er bared her teeth at Zhong Xingwen, then came down to Zhong Xingwen's side, actually picked up his glass with her paws, and drank the wine he just poured.

"Huh? Can he still drink?"

Taoist Xue looked at the mink, with some kind of guessing in his mind. Looking at the old man who was leisurely eating food and drinking wine outside, he couldn't help but ask.

"Is Mr. Yu here to save us?"

Yu Weng smiled and shook his head.

"You two don't need an old man like me to save you. If you want to harm you, I'm afraid the old emperor will be the first to disagree."

Saying that, Yu Weng looked at Zhong Xingwen.

"Does Mr. Zhong still need to be an official?"

Zhong Xingwen shook his head.

"It doesn't matter if you don't do it. If you can get out of trouble and go home this time, you can take your wife and children and go to the countryside in peace, with men farming and women weaving!"

"Then let me tell you, you will definitely be able to get out of trouble this time, and the imperial court will reward you greatly and keep you on duty in Yongjing. What do you think?"

Zhong Xingwen smiled.

"If Zhong doesn't want anything and doesn't accept anything, will he be killed?"

Yu Weng shook his head.

"The old emperor only cares about Taoist Xue. How can he care about you? If you don't want anything, I will let you go."

"Then don't want anything! If you do, you'll be in trouble, sinking in this mud and chaos!"

Zhong Xingwen answered immediately, and poured himself a glass of wine. He didn't mind having the glass touched by Diao'er, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Everyone has his or her own ambitions, which is also a way of life."

Yu Weng nodded and took out something wrapped in cloth from his arms and handed it to the fence.

Seeing that the old man was obviously handing it to him, Zhong Xingwen looked at Daoren Xue and then reached out to take it. As a result, the thing sank in his hand, and it was obviously very heavy.

"Yesterday, someone made a bet with me. This one hundred taels of gold was part of the bet. Now that he lost, I will give it to you."

Zhong Xingwen subconsciously untied the cloth, and there were indeed ten ingots of gold inside.

"This is impossible."

"Take it. You don't want the emperor's reward. I can accept it as your salary for thirty years."

Taoist Xue also smiled and nodded.

"Take it in, Mr. Zhong!"

"Okay then. It's just that it's not appropriate to put gold in this prison, right?"

"Don't worry, they won't take your stuff."

Yu Weng said this, but looked at Zhong Xingwen and smiled again.

"It's just that after this incident, it will inevitably spread in the future. Maybe someone will find you again and beg you for help. It will inevitably lead to a dilemma."

Zhong Xingwen looked thoughtful when he heard this. He frowned and poured another glass of wine for himself.

How can a person with a good heart be wasted so easily?

"Mr. Yu, Xue has something to ask for. What happened in Hualong Temple? Although I try my best to see clearly, it's really hard to explain clearly. I hope the old man can clarify it!"

Taoist Xue finally couldn't help it anymore. He could see the incident at Hualong Temple more clearly than the emperor and others, but not completely. This made him even more itchy. Before, he was sitting cross-legged and still, but in fact he was not at all still.

Yu Weng raised the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp before speaking leisurely.

"Let me tell you, it is the father-son enmity between Beihai Dragon Lord Yayou and his son Yaci. The former committed a crime of killing his son for spiritual practice, and the latter has now revived and transformed into a dragon to take revenge. Now Beihai may not be peaceful!"

As Yu Weng said, there are stormy waves rising in the North Sea at this moment.

However, these seemed a bit far away. Yu Weng just smiled and looked at Taoist Xue again.

"Dao Zhang Xue, do you still want to be a national teacher?"

return?

Taoist Xue couldn't help but frown. Mr. Yu said it as if he had been a national teacher.
