On the way back to his residence, Gao Mang was dizzy and obviously hadn't recovered from being fooled by the old charlatan.

A strange fragrance penetrated into his nostrils and his stomach roared.

It was Magu who came, Gao Mang's eyes lit up and he accelerated his pace into the courtyard in the middle of the mountain.

In the center of the clean courtyard, a large iron pot sits on the fire and beeps, and the broth is churning.

A girl was adding firewood. When she saw Gao Mang, she couldn't help but smile: "Brother Mang, you are back!"

"Magu!" Gao Mang also smiled and hurriedly ran forward.

Magu is twelve or thirteen years old, with a slim figure, wearing a simple Taoist robe, dark-faced and hair like dead grass, and her mouth full of white teeth when she smiles, with indescribable simple beauty.

Magu is not the Magu in "The Story of Magu's Fairy Altar", but there is indeed a person in history named Hou Zhending.

She is a Sichuan girl. She has been keen on practicing Taoism since she was a child. In order to seek Taoism, she came to Wangwu Mountain from thousands of miles to worship Princess Yuzhen.

At that time, Princess Yuzhen had already appointed Sima Chengzhen as her teacher and built Lingdu Temple in Yuyang Mountain east of Wangwu Mountain as a place to practice Taoism.

In order to train Ma Gu's character, the princess asked her to carry water outside Lingdu Temple every day to sow numb. Over time, everyone called her Ma Gu.

In later generations, this Magu was also named a god, and the Magu Temple in Wangwu Mountain has been incense.

Magu is very good at learning and often goes to Zhongyantai to ask Sima Chengzhen for various questions. After a while, he became a god-in-law with Gao Mang.

Magu eats vegetarian food by herself, but the stewed meat is first-class.

She held a large iron spoon and stirred it in the pot for a few times, poured Sichuan pepper and white mustard seeds from southern Sichuan into the pot, and then sprinkled Persian pepper in after the aroma was evenly matched.

After the aromas were all combined, she took out four or five of the cooked frogs in the pot and filled them with a large bowl.

Gao Mang had already drooled all over the floor. He took the big bowl and grabbed a frog's leg and stuffed it into his mouth, turning it out, and spit out a bone.

It is smooth and fragrant, it is really delicious on earth.

The people of Sichuan and Sichuan have had a tradition of eating frogs since ancient times. Unfortunately, they were not well received in the Central Plains, and were even more despised by the scholars and officials. Gao Mang felt that even for his own good fortune, he had the obligation to promote it well.

You can't have to bother me every time he wants to eat, right?

In a blink of an eye, a large bowl of frog meat was eaten up by Gao Mang.

"Eat slowly, there's still plenty." Magu quickly made another bowl of Gao Mang, then sat on the stone bench beside him, and looked at Gao Mang with a smile.

Gao Mang is extremely powerful at such a young age, but his appetite is amazing. If he doesn't do this, he will not be able to replenish his own qi and blood.

So she gave Gao Mang a stew of meat by Sima Xianshi, otherwise it would be impossible to build a large pot of meat stew in the Taoist sect’s cultivation place.

The consequences of the amazing appetite are indigestion and bloating, so Magu prepared a large pot of hawthorn water for Gao Mang early in the morning and a wood-carved pipe.

After Gao Mang ate all the more than thirty frogs in the pot in one breath and drank all the hawthorn water, Magu handed over the pipe.

"Brother Mang, according to your order, I put honey and grapes into Zhuge Fairy Grass, mix them with dry shade several times, and you can taste it." As he said that, Magu took out a tobacco bag the size of a palm.

Yes, Gao Mang stuffed the tobacco into his pipe, took out the fire stick and shook it, and lit the cigarette pot.

Tobacco is very common in the barbarian tribes in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty. It can clear away miasma and cure indigestion. It is said that when Zhuge Liang opened up Shu, he promoted tobacco in the army, so it has an elegant name called "Zhuge Xiancao".

Of course, the tobacco at this time is not the same as the Virginia tobacco in the Americas in later generations. Gao Mang just asked Magu to prepare it according to the so-called national law.

Not to mention, the taste is really sweet, and Gao Mang becomes a little bit floating after a pot of water.

Magu's eyes were shiny and he said happily: "If you suck more, the immortal master said it will be good for your health."

Gao Mang nodded, I also need to suck more to cure the disease.

Gao Mang felt happy. He was an orphan in his previous life and always hoped that he would have a sister who helped his brother and demon, which would be effective in this life.

"By the way, I heard from my master that you will go to Luoyang, the Eastern Capital in a few days?" Magu asked.

Gao Mang nodded and said, "It may take some time to stay, but Luoyang is very close to Wangwu Mountain."

Logically speaking, since Gao Mang wanted to take over the Tianyun Department, he had to learn a lot of things, including the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the court system, geographical and cultural relics across the country and abroad, etc., just the court etiquette, I am afraid that it will take one month to learn.

But in fact, in the past year, the old charlatan has not taught Gao Mang anything, told Gao Mang nothing, and Gao Mang has never even seen Princess Yuzhen.

In the words of the old charlatan, the simpler Gao Mang, the better. It would be even better if he could even erase the Taoist traces on him.

Only by turning it into a piece of white paper can the emperor Li Longji paint it at will, let Li Longji use his will to shape Gao Mang and turn Gao Mang into the person he hopes for.

Only in this way can the old charlatan's plan be successful.

Therefore, after the old charlatan and Princess Yuzhen had to work together, they could not wait to send Gao Mang to the palace and put it next to the emperor.

In fact, Gao Mang had no idea at all. How easy was it to take back the power of Tianyunsi from the hands of Emperor Li Longji?

Emperor Li Longji is like a Thanos. He can kill him with a snap of his fingers.

Not to mention Li Longji's side, there are clever and loyal servants like Gao Lishi, Chen Xuanli, a traitor and evil person like Li Linfu, and an ambitious harem sister like Wu Huifei.

If this drama is failed, Li Longji will not kill him, but Tianyunsi will never have the chance to be with him forever, and everything the old charlatan has painstakingly arranged will be gone.

To be honest, Gao Mang is under a lot of pressure.

When Magu heard Gao Mang's absent-minded answer, he said oh, but his eyes showed reluctance.

As a awakened person, her supernatural powers had just awakened, and Princess Yuzhen asked her to carry water and plant numb every day, which was to hone her mind and strengthen her control over her strength. Where did she have time to visit Mang Geer in Dongdu?

Even if she passed the master's assessment, Dongdu was not something she could go just like she wanted.

Gao Mang looked at Magu's expression, suddenly his eyes turned, and he lowered his voice and said, "Magu, why not elope and go down the mountain together!"

elopement?

Although the child was talking nonsense, Magu's cheeks were still hot, and he glared at Gao Mang angrily: "Every child is from every family, don't talk nonsense!"

Gao Mang smiled and spit out a few smoke rings as Magu said.

He had already negotiated with the old charlatan and Magu would accompany him to Dongdu.

Of course he won't tell Ma Gu now, and he'll just give Ma Gu a surprise then.

The two of them joked for a while, and Magu left in a hurry. Princess Yuzhen is currently living in the Shifangyuan in Zixiao Peak. Magu has to serve him, and he has to do his homework in the morning.

Gao Mang sat alone in the yard for a while, then returned to the room and took a box from the bookshelf.

Open the box and there are rows of five-color wafers arranged inside, each of which is cut and polished into the shape of a coin.

Gao Mang took out a piece of crystal, sat cross-legged on the bed, pressed the crystal up and down with both hands, and refined it carefully.

In a moment, the five-colored light flowed out from his fingers and turned to cover his whole body.

The five-color chip comes from Tianshu and is called Tianshu coins.

When Wu Zetian built the Tianshu Tower, he collected more than 500,000 kilograms of copper, 1.3 million kilograms of iron, and 27,000 kilograms of money. In addition, there were a large number of gem crystals from all over the country.

While Tianshu Tower suppressed Li Tang's fortune, it was also immersed in the spiritual energy in the fortune, thus giving it spirituality.

After the dismantling of Tianshu, those spiritual materials were collected in the palace, some were used to create equipment for the awakened people, and some became props for the awakened people to practice.

For example, Wang Wan's abacus, Yan Zhenqing's huge pen, and Li Shierniang's double swords are all made of the base of Tianshu Tower and the fine iron of Tieshan.

For example, the Tianshu flow bead worn by Gao Mang was originally amethyst from the Fulin Kingdom, that is, the Roman Empire, and it was an inlay of the dragon man statue at the top of Tianshu.

The material of the Tianshu coins comes from the core of the eight-prism of the Tianshu Tower, and is wrapped in copper and iron.

The closer you get to the top of Tianshu, the higher the level of Tianshu crystal.

Tianshu crystal is rare and cannot be regenerated in this world, so Tianyun Department cuts Tianshu crystal into the shape of a coin, specifically used to reward Tianxing people.

Although the awakened person who awakens in the resurrection of spiritual energy has superpowers and talent for cultivation, he still needs corresponding practice methods and cultivation resources to truly reflect the strength of the awakened person.

In short, Tianshu Coin is an important tool for developing the potential of the Tianxing people and enhancing the strength of the Tianxing people.

As the closed disciple of the old charlatan Sima Chengzhen, Gao Mang naturally has no shortage of Tianshu coins, and there is no shortage of methods of cultivation.

All things carry yin and embrace yang, and the qi is harmonious.

In order to neutralize the extremely domineering power in Gao Mang's body, Sima Chengzhen specially selected a Taoist scripture for Gao Mang, called "Wu You Shu".

It is said that Nanhua Zhenren Zhuangzi was bored in the lacquer garden, either lying under the tree for a big dream of spring and autumn, observing mantis stalking cicadas, or catching butterflies everywhere, gradually finding out a unique set of Qi training methods.

"Wuyoushu": Practicing this method, you can see the great way and travel freely to the Wuyoushu land.

Another meaning, the vanity technique, is nothing, and I have cultivated loneliness.

Gao Mang guessed that there should be spiritual energy between the world in Zhuangzi's era, so he created this method of cultivation.

Later, the spiritual energy of China weakened, and Taoist disciples could only place their cultivation sites on the top of a rarely visited mountain. The reason why it was called Taoist temple was because they wanted to adopt spiritual energy and observe the way of heaven in close proximity.

Later, the spiritual energy of China was exhausted, resulting in many Taoist classics being unable to be practiced. Over time, they were seriously misinterpreted and misinterpreted by later generations, or they were lost at all.

Sima Chengzhen was able to pass on the verge of losing "Wuyoushu" to him, which had a profound meaning.

Gao Mang sat cross-legged in the quiet room, breathing slowly, and snored for a moment.

This guy fell asleep.
