Journey To the West From The Qin Dynasty

ps: This chapter is also known as [Feng Shao Shangzao, bestow Longquan Sword]

Gong Gong went straight to Li Jue's side, looked up and down, and was pleasantly surprised.

He laughed loudly and said, "Director Li, this old man really did not see the wrong person. Compared with three years ago, you have a more unique temperament and a little more connotation."

He added: "If the old man guessed correctly, you have followed your teachers to practice in Yunyou for the past three years."

It was rare for someone to help him corroborate, so Li Jue naturally used this reason to fool him again.

Nodding with a smile: "Mr. Li is really amazing, it is true, I have learned something from the teachers in more than three years."

Duke Ling's eyes lit up and said, "Could there be..."

He wanted to say if there were other medicinal herbs, but in front of everyone, he couldn't say it.

Li Jue naturally understood what he meant, just smiled and nodded, and said, "Following the teachers, I just learned some fur, and I myself can only talk about it on paper."

Duke Ling was overjoyed. He could only talk about military affairs on paper. That would be the best. He was the best at practice.

He immediately dragged Li Jue into the palace, completely ignoring other people, and no one dared to block the way.

Wang Li shouted from behind: "Director Li, after leaving the palace, remember to go to my mansion. Grandpa and daddy want to see you very much."

Li Jue waved his hand with a smile, and followed Duke Li in.

The chief did not follow, because Duke Li was going to take Li Jue to see Ying Zheng, and he had nothing to report, so it was not easy to meet him.

While staying at the door, Wang Li said, "Master Meng, why is Director Li so highly appreciated by Duke Li, and seems to regard him as a confidant."

The chief said: "I don't know, the two of them didn't seem to have met three years ago. Why are they so familiar three years later."

The two were at a loss, and could not understand at all, the identity gap between two people who should not have any friendship was so big, and they were so close.

After Duke Li brought Li Jue into the palace, he went directly to Wangyi Palace, because at this time Ying Zheng was resting and recharged for tomorrow's southern tour.

Along the way, Mr. Li explained: "Director Li, I was a little sorry for you at the beginning, and took all the credit for protecting the spirit."

Li Jue doesn't care about this credit, otherwise he can make alchemy by himself.

Therefore, he said, "My grandfather is joking, but he is just a help from the side. The real alchemist is also the grandfather, so the credit is all yours."

Gong Gong praised: "It is said that you, Director Li, can work hard for Daqin without any crisis, and you are dedicated to people. I thought it was an exaggeration before, but now it seems that the old man's structure is small!"

Li Jue smiled without saying a word.

Gong Gong continued: "However, after all, the protection of the spirit pill is your credit. If you didn't provide a single prescription, the old man would not be able to refine it at all. And if you continue to use the previous pills, the emperor's health will definitely get worse and worse. That is a death penalty. The old man's benefactor."

He thought for a while and said, "When I see the emperor, the old man will ask for a name for you in person, and explain the matter of protecting the elixir. The emperor will definitely give you a title at that time. In the future, you and I will make elixir together, and the credit will be divided equally."

hiss.

Li Jue immediately stopped without hesitation, saying: "Master, if this is the case, then I will leave immediately, and I will not go to see the emperor."

Unexpectedly, Duke Ling said, "Why is this? Is it because the title of Marquis is not big enough? As long as you accumulate credits, you will have no problem with the title of Duke Guo later."

But Li Jue shook his head and said, "My grandfather misunderstood, it's because of the inferior virtues. I only remember one side, but I don't know anything about alchemy. If I were to concoct alchemy for the emperor, I would definitely be exposed, and sooner or later I would be punished. Ask about beheading."

Duke Ling couldn't believe it, and said in surprise, "You have been following your teacher for three years, don't you know how to make alchemy?"

Li Jue nodded and said, "Yes, not at all, otherwise the teacher wouldn't have driven me back."

The Duke was silent for a long time.

For some reason, he felt a little joy in his heart, and at the same time a little disappointed.

Li Jue doesn't know how to make alchemy, so it's useless to have alchemy recipes, and he can still keep his status as the first alchemist in Daqin.

But Li Jue didn't know how to make alchemy, and he didn't even have the opportunity to ask for advice and improve, which made him a little disappointed.

The fair said: "If that's the case, what would you do?"

Li Jue said, "Behead your head and take medicine."

Duke Ling was silent, and said: "Medicine is the lower ninth level, and alchemy is the upper ninth level. As for beheading, it's not into the ninth level."

He said earnestly, "Director Li, you can't be an executioner for a lifetime."

Li Jue said with a smile: "Actually, it's okay. If I get tired of the life of an executioner and Daqin is on the right track, I'll go to Yunyou."

He felt that by then he would also become an immortal and should leave.

Duke Li was shocked and said, "Do you want to leave Daqin?"

Li Jue said: "It's just to go to Yunyou, and there are not many more executioners than me in Daqin, and a lot of executioners less than me."

Duke Li was in a hurry and said, "Then, that alchemy..."

Li Jue smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, before I leave, some of the alchemy knowledge and some alchemy recipes that the teacher taught me will definitely be passed on to you."

He felt that it was necessary to leave something for Da Qin.

Although Gong Gong used to be a swindler, his level of alchemy was only second only to Xu Fu. If he taught him some alchemy knowledge, there were also some refining methods for elixir.

Ying Zheng might be able to live a little longer, and Daqin's cultivators would be able to have more protection.

When Duke Li heard the words, he was instantly overjoyed, and at the same time he sighed: "Director Li, you are really handsome, and the old man is ashamed. If the old man is not old, he will definitely swoop with you, not to be born on the same day in the same year, but on the same day in the same year. die."

Li Jue was speechless for a while, you think beautifully.

I am pursuing longevity. It is a problem that you can live for two hundred years.

However, Gong Gong's status is very important, and he doesn't want to stand on the stage. Gong Gong is the best cover-up.

After thinking about it, Li Jue smiled and said, "Master, you and I are considered to have been friends for a long time. Although it is not easy to swoop, we are also brothers."

Duke Ling was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Li Jue to hit the snake and follow the stick.

Li Jue decided to make good use of Duke Li. After all, Duke Li was very favored now, and his status was still higher than Zhao Gao.

Although he couldn't influence the affairs of the court, Ying Zheng would usually listen to what he said.

Li Jue needed an extra tongue by Ying Zheng's side, so he had to win over Duke Ming as well.

He said: "Master, my three teachers have lived for many years, and they have met Zhou Gong."

hiss.

Gong Gong's eyes were straight.

He gasped in disbelief.

Duke Zhou is already a figure from thousands of years ago. Several teachers of Li Jue have met Duke Zhou, doesn't it mean that they have lived for many years?

His body trembled with excitement, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that they are immortals?"

Li Jue said, "Have you heard of Guiguzi?"

Duke Li hurriedly said: "I heard that he is a very outstanding person with many disciples. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many famous people were almost all his disciples."

Li Jue said: "They lived longer than Guiguzi, but whether they are immortals or not, I don't know, I just know that they are used to idle clouds and wild cranes and want to leave something for the world."

He pointed to himself and said, "The teachers have passed on some skills to me, but I am stupid, I can only talk on paper and pass on their experience, but I can't do it myself, alas!"

Gong Gong was about to kneel down to Li Jue and said, "Director Li, you and I are brothers and sisters. You can pass it on to me. If your teacher is so capable, wouldn't it be a pity if you cut off the inheritance?"

Li Jue smiled and said, "I have this intention, but this matter is a secret, don't spread it out, or you will be punished by heaven."

He also pretended to be serious and said, "At that time, no one will be able to keep the father-in-law."

Gong Gong immediately swore and swore that there would never be a third person who would know what they were talking about today, even Ying Zheng, he would never tell!

Li Jue nodded with satisfaction. In fact, he supported Duke Ling to deal with Zhao Gao.

After all, according to what Concubine Yu said, Zhao Gao probably has the help of the Weihe Dragon Prince, and a young dragon from the dragon family. He doesn't know who it is.

Therefore, he must have more right to speak and support some people as puppets.

Li Jue's remarks made Duke Ling feel awe at him, and for a while, his posture became lower.

While they were talking, the two had already arrived at Wangyi Palace.

Ying Zheng ate dinner and went to bed early.

But when I heard that Gong Gong asked to see him, he still got up to meet him.

When the two entered, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Longhu Tianshi, you seldom take the initiative to find me, why are you free today?"

Duke Ling bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please see who the poor Daoist brought?"

Then he stepped aside and pushed Li Jue out. Ying Zheng seemed to have a good memory and recognized Li Jue at a glance.

He was stunned for a moment, then said in astonishment, "You are that executioner... Li Jue? Didn't you die suddenly?"

Li Jue cupped his hands and said, "Li Jue, a small minister, sees His Majesty the Emperor, and may His Majesty the Emperor be blessed with the sky and have a long life without boundaries."

These words made Ying Zheng laugh out loud.

Then let Li Jue get up and answer.

Li Jue said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the little minister did not die suddenly, but went out to learn art with the teachers and traveled around the world."

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up and said, "Haha, as expected, I didn't see you wrong, how could my Da Qin be cursed? Your teachers are all masters of the world. What did you learn from following them?"

Li Jue said: "It's just to learn some Qihuang techniques, as well as some martial arts. The current cultivation of the little minister is no longer under the Dragon Tiger Celestial Master."

He had to give himself more power to speak, but he couldn't let Ying Zheng catch the strong men, so he said that his strength had reached the fourth level of real people.

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up and said, "Alright, alright, you have real skills, and you are so cultivated, would you like to join the army and **** my Daqin?"

Li Jue said: "Your Majesty, there are already strong generals in the army, and the small minister is willing to kill all the outlaws for His Majesty, so that he can better play his strengths."

Ying Zheng nodded, and also felt that Tingwei was a very important department, and there must be an executioner who could control the situation.

but.

It is really a waste for a real person to be the executioner.

He then said: "Since this is the case, I will bestow the fifteenth-level military meritorious masters, the same as the lower minister, give you a thousand pieces of gold, and then give you the Longquan Sword, to behead the nobles and nobles, and the greedy and pervert the law."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "It's a pity to continue beheading some minor characters with your talent. Just kill those traitors for me!"

He needs an executioner to get out of the prison, to frighten the courtiers, and even the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

Li Jue, the executioner who beheaded two prime ministers and two monarchs, is the most suitable.

Li Jue was stunned. He didn't expect that Ying Zheng would be rewarded so generously. He even gave him the fifteenth-level military merit and became a junior supervisor.

Daqin's military exploits are at the 20th level, and the 15th level is almost ready to be named a marquis.

There is also the Longquan Sword, which is of extraordinary significance.

Shao Shang has a false name but no real power, while the Longquan Sword has real power in some places, which can be said to complement each other.

Li Jue was very satisfied, and Gong Gong nodded beside him, taking it for granted.

The dignified real person of the fourth level, the master of refining the realm of gasification and transformation, has made great contributions, not to mention the mere lack of superiority, even the great superiority.

Ying Zheng then asked the temple people to bring the Longquan Sword.

Temple people pushed the door and entered, offering the Longquan Sword.

Li Jue is overjoyed, this is exactly what he wants, and he doesn't want to cut off small characters, it is the best to be able to cut those big fish directly.

However, Ying Zheng noticed that the temple people were not Zhao Gao anymore.

He frowned and said, "Why didn't Zhao Gao come?"

The man from the temple knelt down and said, "Master Zhao's son-in-law has a birthday banquet today, and he went back to celebrate."

Ying Zheng frowned and said, "I'm not as important as his son-in-law?"

Having said that, I am a little unhappy.

The temple people were frightened and did not know what to do. They all said that accompanying the monarch is like accompanying a tiger. I did not expect that Zhao Gao would be so favored, and he would have today.

Duke Ling and Li Jue looked at each other and did not persuade them.

And Ying Zheng put on a smiling face again and said, "Yes, Tian Shi has brought back a talented person for me today. Tomorrow I will be on a southern tour, so you can just climb Mount Tai with me, and leave a name in the history."

Li Jue really wanted to follow him on a southern tour, but Ying Zheng took the initiative to mention it, that would be the best.

He said, "Do you dare to obey?"

Subsequently.

Li Jue found that Ying Zheng seemed to be dozing off after a few words, and his eyes were a little heavy, and he was very lethargic.

He frowned, puzzled.

In such a state, I am afraid it will not be long.

But Li Jue knew that Ying Zheng still had about seven or eight years to live, so he shouldn't be in this state now.

Moreover, he also let Gong Gong refine the spirit protection pill, Ying Zheng's dark wounds and hidden diseases were cured, and he should have been stronger and longer.

Li Jue said, "Your Majesty, do you fall asleep?"

Ying Zheng yawned and said, "Indeed, you all step back, I am going to sleep."

Just as he walked out the door, Li Jue asked, "Master, why is Your Majesty here?"

Duke Ling sighed and said, "After your Majesty returned from his northern tour of the grasslands, he brought back a woman who sang songs every night and was addicted to women's lust, so that's why."

Li Jue was even more shocked.

In my impression, Ying Zheng was obsessed with power and was always on guard against women's lust, how could he be addicted to women's lust! ?

suddenly.

He thought of a possibility.

It was Zhang Daoling who told him that he wanted to change the fate of Da Qin, and Tian Dao tried his best to get back to the right path.

Maybe that prairie woman was sent by God to get back on the right track!

Li Jue's face turned cold in an instant, he didn't allow his years of hard work to go to waste!

After all, Ying Zheng gave too much.
