Chapter 10235
One Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Since Shui Ion already knows the ownership of the Medicine King Cauldron and has told so many ancient secrets, there is no need for her to blindly talk to Shui Ion anymore.
"What price do I need to pay to get the elixir?"
Shui Liandao.
"As long as the Taoist priest is sincere in helping the court, the elixir will be easy to find."
Zi Yan gave her promise.
I haven’t thought about what exactly water ions are needed for yet. This transaction can be postponed. The most important thing at this time is that both parties should be honest with each other and not hide too much on important matters. .
Especially since they are in underground passages, if they are hostile to each other and guard against each other, the harm will be too great.
"Pindao helps the court. He has already helped once before. In the future, as long as the court does not let Pindao down, Pindao will not be an enemy of the court."
Shui Ion said calmly.
“Now that the Mingjun is in power, the Daqi court originally wanted to correct the long-standing abuses. All the previous cancers should be exposed. I will report these matters to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty make a decision. I will definitely give you satisfaction. Reply."
Zi Yan said with a hand.
Some things are beyond her control.
She contributed to the court because the current emperor Qi Xingyun was a talented and wise king. Otherwise, she would not have been able to work hard for the court easily. For some of the previous emperors of Da Qi, she would have abandoned her official position and left long ago.
In fact, the previous emperor would not tolerate a woman serving as a court official, and even served as a hidden guard officer.
The Hidden Guards are an institution directly under the emperor. Their power is extremely astonishing. They are the most feared institution by other officials in the imperial court. Many years ago, civil servants have been continuously reporting to reduce the powers of the Hidden Guards. To this day , part of the power of the hidden guards has been divided by the Supervisory Station, and some of the power of the criminals has been transferred. The actual power is much smaller than when Da Qi was founded.
“The poor Taoist believes that if you agree, you will stay, and if you don’t agree, you will leave. Just like in this Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are many old-school masters living in seclusion. Many of them just can’t understand some of the measures of the court. Then live in seclusion in the world."
Shui Lidao.
“There are also some people who are tired of the strife in the world and just want to live a secluded life.”
The physique of a master warrior has been sublimated. As long as there are no accidents, it is usually easy to live for more than a hundred years. The body can even maintain sufficient physical fitness after being over a hundred years old, and does not age as obviously as ordinary people.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, Pindao suddenly remembered something important."
Shui Ion suddenly looked solemn.
"Taoist Master, please speak."
"The Yang family in Bozhou has an ancestor who is about eighty years old. His martial arts are extremely terrifying, and Pindao is far from his opponent."
Shui Ion said calmly.
"You can still defeat the Taoist priest in your early eighties?"
Zi Yan was slightly surprised.
She knew that many master warriors were not afraid of aging, but when there was such an example in front of them, she was inevitably surprised.
“The ancestor of the Yang family in Bozhou, whose real name is almost unknown, we generally call him Yang Ancestor. This man’s sword skills are superb. It is said that forty or fifty years ago, he was powerful in all directions and in the world. Well-known.”
"But the world changes every year. If the old man doesn't do something big, his reputation in the world will soon fade away. Young people may have never heard of the name of Yang's ancestor."
Water Ion took a deep breath.
"What the Taoist Master means is that Yang Yuanhua might invite that ancestor?"
Zi Yan raised her eyebrows.
“Yes, although the ancestor of the Yang family has lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for a long time and has not been involved in worldly affairs, if the Yang family in Bozhou is in danger of extinction, it is very likely that he will be persuaded by Yang Yuanhua to come out of his seclusion.”< br>
Water Ion explained.
"We have many grand masters, so we should not be afraid of the ancestor of the Yang family." Zi Yan is not too worried. After all, the ancestor of the Yang family is old and has not entered the realm of a great master, so he is not too worried. Possibly defeating the Eagle King and others on his own.
"Old Ancestor Yang is not alone. There were several well-known masters and warriors who lived in seclusion with him back then. They were all old masters from decades ago. They rarely appeared in the world. , the world has almost forgotten them, but their martial arts have not been delayed."
Shui Ion reminded not to be careless.
"Understood, I will consider this matter when I get back."
In fact, Zi Yan did not despise the ancestor of the Yang family. It was true that she was not worried. The grandmaster warrior is certainly terrifying, but in front of the army, It is still impossible to change the overall situation.
"The exit is ahead."
At this time, there was a little light ahead. Ziyan's eyes had just adapted to the dark light in the underground passage, when they were stabbed by a bright light in front, and their eyes were still slightly It stings a little.
"The light shines directly in? This is not concealed." Zi Yan frowned.
"That's the vent. The location was chosen very cleverly. It's impossible for anyone to climb to that location on the cliff halfway up the mountain. There are almost no gaps in the stones there, and at most there's only some moss covering them."
Water Ion took out a palm-sized iron rod from his luggage, with a torx screw shape on the front.
“This is the thing that opens the mechanism.”
In front, Shui Ion and Zi Yan both dismounted and walked to a stone door.
Looking from the inside, you can clearly see that it is a door.
The water ions pierce the iron rod in their hand into a groove on the top, and then rotate it gently.
Then, the stone door split to both sides, revealing an exit.
At this time, the sun was dazzling, and Zi Yan subconsciously blocked her eyes with her hands, adapting to the dim light in front of her. The sudden bright light made her eyes feel uncomfortable.
“The road ahead will be smooth, just follow me.”
The water ions closed the stone gate. From the outside, there was no trace of the stone gate at all. It seemed It's just an ordinary stone wall.
In the next two days, Zi Yan followed Shui Ion and indeed walked through a road that was passable by horse.
However, Zi Yan realized that there was still a danger of being discovered on this road.
She will not decide whether to take this path or not.
She will tell Luo Xingchen her experience intact and let him make this decision.
A few days later, when Zi Yan returned to the camp, he saw a busy scene.
Many soldiers are carrying supplies.
Luo Xingchen was staying in the camp, looking at the sand table in front of him. This was remade and brought from Yizhou City.
“Are you sure?”
Seeing Zi Yan coming back, Luo Xingchen raised his head and asked in surprise.
"Well, there is indeed a way..."
Later, Zi Yan told her experience exactly as it was.
"The underground passage built by Tiansheng Sect..."
Luo Xingchen frowned slightly.
He was hesitating because he didn't know how trustworthy water ions were.
If there is a problem with water ions, they can cause trouble when their soldiers and horses enter the underground passage. When the time comes to block them in the tunnel, the entire army may be annihilated.
Such terrible consequences are unbearable for them.
