Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

Du Yu smiled and took out a small ball from his sleeve. The ball enlarged in his hand and turned into a transparent round box the size of a washbasin. In it was a small piece of sticky dark red soil, with a dark red plant growing on it. There is a little bit of red silk curling in the fern grass, which looks like claws and hands.

"It's a wine dragon claw!"Zou Shui'er was very excited. This was the first time she saw fresh wine dragon claws.

Du Yu smiled without saying a word and tapped the side of the ball with his hand. A subtle golden light penetrated into the ball and gently touched the top of the fern. The fern grass seemed to be stimulated, swayed, and opened back. The blades of grass curled up like a fist slowly unfolded like a boneless woman's hand, revealing a grain of wheat in the palm of the hand, the size of a cherry, red. A fruit as clear as agate.

Zou Shui'er was amazed by this fruit. She had never seen such a beautiful fruit."This is it?""

"This is called 'gentian fruit'’"

Zou Shui'er had no knowledge of medicine or immortal cultivation. She just felt that the name was extremely domineering and she was very happy.

"This is the essence of wine dragon claws. One hundred wine dragon claws may not produce one 'gentian fruit'. It can greatly improve the spiritual cultivation of those who cultivate immortality, and will never regress. It's much stronger than the blended prescription."

Zou Shui'er was so happy that she almost rushed to grab it."Ah! With this, Jia Nan can surpass that dead girl Zhong Wanling! ?"

Du Yu lightly frowned, locked the light ball back to the size of his palm, and put it back into his sleeve."No way."

Du Yu couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the girl he saw in Shangwangzhuang during the day."That girl, in my opinion, is also a complete monster."If she is allowed to grow up, she will become a serious problem sooner or later.

Zou Shui'er bit her lip angrily. She really didn't understand why, whether it was Zhong Lin or Master Du, they were obviously on her side, but they were all afraid of them. There is a mere little girl, she is just a loser of fifteen or sixteen years old.

"What's the use... If you can't catch up with Zhong Wanling, the spot will be Zhong Wanling's. If he had known this, he should have asked Zhong Lin to simply give the spot to Jia Nan. I wasted so much time and money, but in the end, I still made wedding clothes for that dead girl."Zou Shui'er became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, and even forgot the fear in her heart.

Du Yu sneered,"That only requires Zhong Lin to have this ability. Mrs. Li has this ability, but he does not."

Du Yu looked at Zou Shui'er's expression mixed with jealousy and greed, squinting his eyes and calculating, feeling very disdainful in his heart: How can a person who has no intelligence at all and is driven solely by greed want to achieve great things? And her incompetent but self-righteous son. Even if he fed them to grass, he would be too poor. But these two people are indispensable now. They need money from the Zou family, and they also need someone to capture more Lao Xianmen disciples with abundant spiritual energy for them.

"Don't worry. Jumping from the Fusion Realm to the Enlightenment Realm is something unprecedented, and it is difficult not to make people suspicious. What is the state of enlightenment? How many people have worked hard throughout their lives but have failed to make progress in enlightenment. Moreover, you should have heard about the risks of spiritual advancement. You don’t want your son to explode or die from exhaustion, right?"

Zou Shui'er finally calmed down after hearing this, and quickly apologized:"Master Immortal, I'm sorry, it's because the slave family didn't think well and spoke arrogantly... But if the spiritual cultivation can't keep up with Zhong Wanling, doesn't the position belong to that dead girl?"

Du Yu glanced at Zou Shui'er contemptuously, turned around, and the crowd downstairs gradually began to disperse.

"How easy is it to win the title of Bell Wanling Soul? You don’t even need to compare with her head-on"

"ah?"

Zou Shui'er looked at Du Yu's back. The immortal master had always told her that it was not difficult to deal with Zhong Wanling, and she was afraid of Zhong Wanling. She really couldn't think of any other way.

Du Yu turned around and showed a sly smile."It's not difficult. I just want to feel a little aggrieved, Madam."

Early the next morning, Shuyun and Xu visited Yulanju. Firstly, they wanted to thank Zhong Shujuan for cracking the Shangwangzhuang scam, and secondly, something had happened recently in Lin'an, the capital. As both of them were more or less related to the capital and the Sisters related to the officialdom happened to meet again, and some things naturally needed to be cleared up.

In the past two or three months, a lot of things have happened in the capital.

The death of Princess Xuyang, who gave up her identity and rights decades ago , although it could not shake the Southern Tang royal family, it unexpectedly brought them a lot of trouble, or it caused a huge conflict in the royal family that had been hidden for many years - the current emperor is not on good terms with his uncles, and it can even be said that he is too jealous..The current emperor is very young, only in his forties now, and has been on the throne for seven years. Among the current princes, except Prince Qing Li Songjing, who is the emperor's younger brother, the other vassal princes are actually brothers of the previous emperor, one generation older than the emperor.. This seniority is inevitably controlled by others. The emperor also has to observe ethical etiquette. After all, the other party is his uncles. You must respect their opinions, otherwise it will inevitably fall into your words. But there is something special about these uncles and uncles. He doesn't wink, and likes to rely on his age and seniority to dictate government affairs and even interfere with his will. Do you think it's annoying?

This is already annoying enough.

But what if, there are still people who are interested in it? Unintentionally revealed: In fact, your father is not your grandfather's best and most valued son. Your father can inherit the family business only because he has no intention of inheriting the family business. This is how your father takes advantage and how you are now. What do you think?

After hearing this, you can’t even think about it.

But by chance, His Majesty the Emperor can often hear these words. Intentionally or unintentionally, with ulterior motives, the uncle said, the minister said, the Queen Mother said, the Queen Mother Fu said that even the common people were talking privately. Do you think His Majesty the Emperor is guilty?

And the person who troubled two generations of emperors so much was the Prince of Yan who did not love the country, Li Zhen. This incident made the current emperor very angry. What happened was that King Yan fell in love with Lao Xianmen.

Both the current emperor and the late emperor were extremely reluctant to see the reunion of King Yan and Princess Xuyang. First, no matter what the public said, the relationship between the eldest princess and the people Elopement itself is a dishonorable thing; secondly, out of consideration of the forces of all parties, it is extremely disadvantageous for the Yan King siblings to join forces.

Fortunately, the Yan King is really very sensible. In the previous twenty years, the Yan King has been He was obsessed with fighting against Hou Jin and never returned to the hinterland of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Even after the death of the late emperor and King Yan was ordered to return to the capital, he only stayed in the capital for seven days peacefully and then returned directly to his fiefdom, without mentioning it at all. I want to see my sister. In the past, the eldest princess and later Mrs. Li never invited King Yan. Under the supervision of the royal family, the two siblings had no other interactions except giving each other gifts during festivals. This For a time, both generations of emperors were very relieved.

But no one expected that this time King Yan not only beheaded first and then left the fiefdom without an edict, but also rushed directly from the fiefdom to Lao Xianmen. This did not frighten the young emperor so much that he had a stroke..The emperor was very angry about this matter, but he couldn't say anything. After all, the eldest princess and King Yan were siblings from the same father and mother. Why should the eldest princess die and prevent her younger brother from seeing him? But this anger It’s considered saved.

Therefore, just after Mrs. Li's first birthday, His Majesty the Emperor urgently summoned King Yan to the capital. At that time, no one in the Lao Xianmen clan knew about this except Zhang Xu. Of course, Zhang Zhoumu and his wife did not know this when they returned to Lao Xianmen with King Yan. Otherwise, they would not have dared to violate the emperor's taboos even if they had ten more courages. However, they still couldn't help but sigh when they learned the truth later.

"Fortunately, His Majesty did not embarrass His Highness King Yan, otherwise His Highness King Yan would be too pitiful. The prince just wanted to see his loved ones one last time. Mrs. Xu couldn't help sighing and lamenting.

Shuyun also nodded in agreement and said with relief:"Fortunately, Your Majesty is kind and considerate of the prince." No, I heard that your majesty checked that the prince was old and had specially given up his palace in Pingfeng Mountain on the outskirts of the imperial palace, leaving him to retire in the capital."

Yes, after King Yan came to Beijing, he thought he would be punished by the emperor. But the emperor not only had nothing to do with King Yan's execution and then returned to his hometown without an edict, but instead comforted and cared for King Yan's missing sister in every possible way, and finally thought that King Yan was old. Therefore, King Yan was allowed to stay in the Nanping Villa for the rest of his life. This matter had spread in the capital and Jiangdong and became a good story.

Zhong Shujuan did not think so. The couple had been in contact with King Yan for many years. Knowing that this prince only wanted to gallop on the battlefield, leaving his fine clothes and fine food in the palace was no different to him than a horse stumbles and an eagle loses its wings.

And Zhong Shujuan's husband Zhang Shiyin was even more dissatisfied with Huai Ning and The northwest defense line was worried and wanted to write a letter about this matter several times, but was stopped by his brother-in-law Zhang Xu. Zhang Xu advised the couple to live a good life and cultivate themselves in Lao Xianmen and not to worry about this matter. Soon after, news came that the emperor had not In order to reduce the territory under King Yan's jurisdiction, King Yan's army still garrisoned the border with the two armies in the northwest. Zhang Shiyin gave up now, but every time he thought about it, he still had to sigh deeply.

Zhong Shujuan didn't understand the affairs of the officialdom, but she understood These things are not something that women like them can understand.

Seeing that Zhong Shujuan was in a low mood, Shuyun gently comforted her:"Don't talk about these anymore. Let's talk about something nice. Shuyun thought of a good thing, took Zhong Shujuan's hand, and said with a smile,"I heard that His Majesty is very fond of your Shi Yin recently. Not only did he allow you and your wife a holiday, but he also gave you a large reward. It seems that he also gave you a lot of money." A house in the capital is given to you. Is it in Changlefang?"

Zhong Shujuan nodded, but when it came to the house, she was a little confused and didn't know whether to live there.

Shuyun didn't know that Zhong Shujuan was worried and was filled with joy."That's really great. Our house is right next to it. Shengpingfang, you came here a few years ago, and now we live close. You should come to see me more often, otherwise it would be very lonely for Jiexiang and I to live in such a big house. It just so happens that Xu Mei is going to Beijing with her nephew, so we can get together often."

Shengpingfang and Changlefang are adjacent to each other, not far from Taixue University. They are both wealthy streets in the capital. Most of the people living in Changle Lane are court officials, while most of the people living in Shengpingfang are wealthy businessmen. Shuyun's husband Huang Jiulang is from the capital. A famous big businessman. Unlike Zhong Gui, who focuses on various industries and makes friends with strangers from all over the world, and is comfortable in both black and white, Huang Jiulang's business is mainly trade between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, which is more practical. Huang Jiulang can be called a A standard businessman, he only cares about money rather than superficial friendship. Businessmen value profits more than separation.

Zhong Shujuan doesn't like her brother-in-law very much. She thinks Huang Jiulang has treated her best friend Shuyun and others badly. The female hero Xiang often abandons her wife and daughter to live in debauchery outside. Every once in a while, she will bring home some unscrupulous beauties, which often makes Shuyun sad and shed tears. However, she is still clear-headed and will never let those cheap maids spoil her. Shu Yun did not think too much about it. She was indeed sad that she was alone in the empty house, and she had to worry about dealing with the Yingying Yanyan her husband brought to the house from time to time. But she felt that when she married, she obeyed her husband. Something that can't be helped.
