Chapter 211 Xiongguan First Line
Qi Ze's Taoist mind has always been constant, like a rock, and his mind remains unmoved. The old man's face was flushed with excitement. Especially in the past month, he practiced Zen skills diligently, and he felt great joy and liberation in his heart.
Meaning.
The old man was already old and had given up on women for a long time. He also had a peaceful mind and became more diligent in practicing Zen. Therefore, he became more convinced of Qi Ze. Seeing that Qi Ze's face was as usual and he did not take pleasure in things or feel sad about himself, he admired him even more.
, pulled Qi Ze aside and whispered: "My benefactor, does he know who I am going to Beimang Mountain to pick coffin fungi for?"
Qi Ze shook his head, and the old man said: "My benefactor has shown us such great kindness, and we should not hide it from him. That coffin is really going to be presented to the fifth prince!"
Qi Ze said: "Fifth prince? If the fifth prince needs medicine, he can ask for it from the Great Inner Forbidden Palace. Why do you have to wait for birth and death in Beimang Mountain to get medicine? Isn't it that you are looking for something far away instead of the near?"
The old man said: "My benefactor is unaware of something. The coffin fungus grows in extremely yin places and is produced by gathering corpse energy. It is a magical medicine that has always been despised by people in the right way. The fifth prince needs to use this medicine, so it is not easy to tell the big brother
Since there may not be one in the inner city, he increased the reward to induce me and other casual cultivators to flee and go to Beimang Mountain to try their luck. Before us, several groups of people had gone, but they were all wiped out. If not
If my benefactor had taken action, we would have made the same mistake again."
Qi Ze said: "Why does the Fifth Prince need that coffin fungus?"
The old man said: "The fifth prince is not young. He has already been crowned king. He has commanded the eighteen states of Youyun and is called the Zhenbei King. He has many generals under his command. He is the most powerful prince to compete for the throne. This Zhenbei King
They got married very early, and there was only one princess in the palace. The couple had always been loving and harmonious. However, a few days ago, the princess was suddenly injured by an unknown master, and her injury worsened. The fifth prince was worried and spent a lot of money to hire experts from the Alchemy Sect for diagnosis and treatment.
, it is said that to treat injuries, this coffin fungus is needed as a medicine, and the disease can be cured."
Qi Ze nodded and said: "The Alchemy Sect is famous for refining external elixirs. With the help of the masters of Chinese medicine, the medicine can cure diseases."
The old man chuckled and said: "I am just a bunch of desperadoes, not even casual cultivators. I have retrieved the coffin fungi this time, and I plan not to reward you, but to fight for a chance to succeed against the Fifth Prince for my subordinates.
If my benefactor is willing, how about I introduce my benefactor to the fifth prince?"
Qi Ze secretly laughed. This man was quite sophisticated. Not only did he sell him a favor, but he was also able to gain a reputation in front of the fifth prince. Neither of them would be offended, and he could reap huge benefits. He asked, "How is the fifth prince like a person?"
The old man hesitated slightly and said: "The fifth prince has guarded Youzhou for many years and is very good to the princess, but only to the common people..."
Qi Ze understood the idea and said: "The fifth prince, the King of Zhenbei, also intends to get involved in the throne?"
The old man smiled and said: "The old emperor was weak for a day or two, but he still controlled the throne and refused to abdicate. Which of his capable princes would be willing to do so? He tried his best to seek power and usurp the throne. The thirteen princes colluded with five
The Poison Cult is revolting, but they are forced to do nothing. The only ones who are really capable of fighting for the great treasure are the few princes in the capital, and then there is the fifth prince who holds military power."
Qi Ze said: "The thirteenth prince raised an army to rebel, which is rebellion. King Zhenbei was guarding Youzhou, but did he ever raise an army to quell the rebellion?"
The old man smiled and said: "Those princes usually smuggled each other, formed cliques for personal gain, and treated the entire Yu Dynasty as their own private property. The thirteen princes made trouble, and the other princes were too late to be happy. They also wanted to take the opportunity to consume the Yu Dynasty's vitality who was loyal to the old emperor.
, to pave the way for his family to seize the legitimate heir in the future, how can he sincerely put down the rebellion? Not only did the fifth prince never raise an army to put down the rebellion, but as far as I know, he is still secretly supporting the thirteenth prince, hoping that the bigger the trouble, the better!"
Qi Ze shook his head and sighed, saying: "The fifth prince and the thirteenth prince are nothing but the same kind of raccoons. Unless he is a wise king, I have to travel far, so I won't go see him. It's not easy for you to make a living in the world, so don't commit yourself easily. The royal family, please avoid being implicated and harming your family and life."
The old man sighed: "My benefactor is a practitioner and has great supernatural powers. He doesn't have to worry about the future. It's really difficult for us ordinary people to find a way out. Living in troubled times, it is difficult to save one's life, let alone to save one's life." Do you want to make your wife a shadow and make your name famous in history? Hey!"
Qi Ze said: "You and I just met by chance. We have some predestined relationship. You can decide your own affairs on your own. No need to say anything more. Let's go!"
When the old man saw that Qi Ze was not being won over, he secretly sighed. It was a pity that he had accomplished so much. If he introduced this person to the fifth prince, he would definitely be highly valued, and his own status would also rise.
The caravan entered the oasis and after a good day of repairing, Qi Ze was about to say goodbye and choose another route. The old man didn't give up yet and didn't dare to tell anyone. He just begged hard, saying that he had saved his life and taught him the Dharma. I had no way to repay his kindness, so I had to invite him to his home to offer him a meal and express his feelings. Besides, there was only one road to Youzhou and there was a checkpoint to go through. Wouldn't it be good for everyone to accompany him on the journey.
After Qi Ze heard this, he said: "There is no need to make offerings. Since there is only one way into Youzhou, let's go one more way."
The old man was overjoyed and devoted himself to serving and supporting him. At the same time, he secretly ordered his men to cry in front of Qi Ze, saying that his family had no way out. The parents, wives, children, and children at home were all looking forward to it, hoping to impress Qi Ze.
Qi Ze had a clear understanding of their state of mind, and he knew all the plans of the old man. He seemed to be observing everything around him with a detached mind, and his thoughts were clear and clear, leaving no trace.
The caravan had finished repairing and headed towards Youzhou. When they came out of the oasis, they saw a canyon with two peaks facing each other. It was a hundred feet high, with only a line and a width of only a few feet. Outside the canyon, a pass could be seen standing tall, with big flags everywhere. The letter contains the word "secluded".
The old man said: "This pass is a first-line pass. It is named because the pass is only one line. If you want to enter Youzhou, you can only pass through this pass, unless you have wings on your ribs and can fly over."
Qi Ze looked up and saw that the two cliffs were very smooth, obviously made by artificial means. If an enemy came out from the Gobi desert, they would not be able to climb the stone walls, so naturally they would not cause any harm to the front line. But this kind of arrangement can only deal with mortal armies. If the Qi Practitioner arrives, Qi Control Flying will not take this to heart at all.
Qi Ze secretly felt strange, why should we set up such a grand pass when facing the vast sea of Gobi. The old man smiled and said: "My benefactor, you think it's strange? This pass rushes into the Gobi on the outside, and faces Youzhou on the inside. Which force is it on guard against? ?”
