Changsheng: I have been in Jiaofang Division for thousands of years

By the time he passes through the last forest ahead, he will reach the border of the Great Jin Dynasty.

But at this moment, in the woods in front of the left, a woman's scream suddenly came: "Ah..."

Chapter 137 The Female Corpse and the White Fox

anyone?

Zhao Mu frowned slightly, turned around and rushed towards the direction of the voice.

A strong smell of blood permeates the surroundings, and the mottled shadows make this forest look very eerie.

Zhao Mu's figure flickered towards him, and he saw a woman's corpse lying under a big thick tree.

The corpse was covered with wounds, and the bright red blood was still flowing out. The miserable appearance made people suspect that she had been attacked by some kind of wild beast.

"What a ruthless means!"

Zhao Mu walked to the side of the corpse, thinking in his heart: "Who did this woman offend, she was tortured to death, where is the murderer now?"

He looked up and looked around, but saw nothing suspicious.

"It seems that I am still late, the other party has already run away."

Zhao Mu sighed, shook his head and said, "Ashes to ashes, since you are already dead, how can you just expose your corpse to the wilderness like this, I'd better bury you."

He squeezed the seal formula in his hand, and softly drank in his mouth: "The five elements are revolving, the earth spirit obeys the call, open!"

Rumble!

I saw that the ground below the female corpse suddenly shook violently, opening a deep pit that was ten feet long, and the female corpse fell directly into the deep pit.

Zhao Mu manipulated the earth spirit energy to close the pit again, and was about to leave.

But suddenly, he stopped and turned to look at the woods on the right.

I saw a snow-white fox standing there in the grass more than ten feet away, looking at him with black eyes.

Those eyes are full of spirituality, it seems that they are not ordinary foxes.

Suddenly the white fox man stood up, and his two front paws imitated the appearance of a human, bowing to him.

"interesting."

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "That corpse is your master, are you thanking me for burying her?"

The white fox shook his head, then nodded again, looking very interesting.

Zhao Mu asked again: "Then do you know who killed her?"

After hearing the words, the white fox thought for a while, but didn't seem to have any intention of answering. He just bowed and saluted again, then turned around and ran into the forest.

"I didn't expect to meet a fox that has become a spirit here."

"But this fox doesn't seem to have a high level of cultivation, and it seems that it can't transform into a human. It's a pity!"

Zhao Mu shook his head and chuckled, then left the woods and continued towards the Great Jin Dynasty.

……

The capital, the palace, the imperial study.

Emperor Yongchang was reviewing the memorial when Qian Delu, the personal eunuch, walked in.

"See Your Majesty."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the outer door deacon of Ziwei Daomen has arrived."

"So fast?"

Emperor Yongchang smiled in surprise: "Hurry up, hurry up and invite people in, no no, I will greet you in person."

He was very excited, got up and walked outside.

Outside the imperial study room, Zhao Mu was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a floating dust in his hand, and looked like a master of immortality.

Seeing Emperor Yongchang coming out, he waved the floating dust and bowed his hands in salute: "Poverty Xuan Chengzi, I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Jin."

"The Taoist priest is polite, please come inside, Delu, for tea."

Emperor Yongchang gave an order, and excitedly pulled Zhao Mu inside: "Master Daoist, I have been looking forward to your coming, so I have to have a good chat with you today."

"Hehe, Your Majesty is being polite."

The two walked into the imperial study room, sat down respectively, and Qian Delu served tea.

Zhao Mu took a sip of tea and said, "Your Majesty, under the order of the teacher, the poor Taoist priest came to guard the Jin Dynasty, and please ask your majesty to order someone to send the clues of the suspected demons that have appeared in recent years, so that the poor Taoist priest can help him." Get to work."

"That matter is not in a hurry. I will have someone sort it out and send everything to the Taoist priest's mansion. I have already arranged a mansion for the Taoist priest."

"In addition, I am going to issue an order to confer the Taoist priest as the national teacher of my Great Jin Dynasty. It will be much more convenient for the Taoist priest to act in the future."

"Besides, I personally selected two hundred maids, who have already arranged them in the Daoist's mansion, and they will serve the Daoist's daily life in the future."

"Also, I..."

Emperor Yongchang seemed very excited, as if he wanted to send all the rewards to Zhao Mu at once.

Zhao Mu shook his head secretly, thinking that this Emperor Yongchang was completely different from the heroic figure when he ascended the throne.

That's right, this Yongchang Emperor Zhao Mu knew him.

Because this person is the successor selected from the Sima family of the royal family after Zhou Yuniang abdicated.

Although Zhao Mu didn't participate in the enthronement ceremony back then, he also caught a glimpse of Emperor Yongchang from a distance.

I remember that Emperor Yongchang at that time was extremely handsome, and he had the demeanor of a generation of emperors.

Zhou Yuniang also said that this person is a rare hero in the world, and he will definitely become the master of a generation after he ascends the throne.

In fact it is.

Zhao Mu had already inquired about it on the way to the capital.

In the past few decades after Emperor Yongchang ascended the throne, he made great efforts to govern and eliminated the administration of officials, which indeed made the governance of the Great Jin Dynasty flourish.

It's just that no one is static.

At least when we met today, the Yongchang Emperor gave Zhao Mu the feeling that he no longer had the ambition of the past, but seemed a little bit like a hero.

He shook his head and interrupted Emperor Yongchang: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to accept the position of national teacher and those rewards."

"Pindao came to the Great Jin Dynasty this time to subdue demons and eliminate demons under the order of the sect. As for the trivial matters of the world, I don't want to pay attention to them. Please forgive me."

"If Your Majesty has any orders, please say so. If the poor can do it, I will never refuse."

That's right, he didn't think that Emperor Yongchang's successive rewards were just for the sake of getting closer to him, the deacon of the outer sect of Ziwei Taoism.

The so-called courteous people must ask for something. His Majesty the emperor obviously asked for something.

Sure enough, Emperor Yongchang pondered for a while, and said: "The Taoist priest is indeed an expert, and he can see through my thoughts at a glance. It's okay, then I will speak directly if I have something to say."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"It's like this. I'm getting older these years, and I often feel powerless when doing things."

"Sometimes, when I think of the late emperor who abdicated and went to the Ziwei Taoist sect to practice immortality with Master Changkong, I am very envious."

"So I would like to ask Taoist Priest Xuan Chengzi, do I have a fairy fate?"

"Your Majesty, why do you need to ask me?"

Zhao Mu shook his head: "Your Majesty should know that those who cultivate immortals must have spiritual roots. I believe that over the years, His Majesty must have had someone examine his body. His Majesty should have known for a long time whether he has a fairy fate."

"Hey, of course I know that I don't have spiritual roots. I really envy the first emperor who can gather the spiritual roots of the next day with the fortune of the country. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible for future emperors to meet such an opportunity."

Emperor Yongchang sighed: "It's just that I really don't want to be reconciled, so I would like to ask the boss, is there really no other way to change fate in the world besides the fate of the country?"

Well, this His Majesty is obviously tired of being an emperor, and now he wants to live forever. No wonder people feel that the hero is too late.

But think about it, the emperors in history seem to be greedy for longevity after enjoying the wealth and honor in the world.

This has almost become a common problem of every emperor, and it cannot be avoided at all.

Chapter 138 The Long-lost Jiaofang Secretary

Facing the earnest eyes of Emperor Yongchang.

Zhao Mu shook his head lightly: "No."

"Really not?"

"Not really."

Zhao Mu stared at Emperor Yongchang: "I believe Your Majesty has also asked many immortal cultivators over the years, and their answers should be the same as those of the poor?"

"Hey, it's true."

Emperor Yongchang sighed helplessly.

In fact, since 30 years ago, Ziwei Daomen selected disciples in the capital.

Over the years, there have been some other immortal sects who have come to the Great Jin Dynasty to recruit disciples.

And Emperor Yongchang also asked many immortal cultivators, and the answers he got were indeed the same as Zhao Mu's. No one could help him condense the acquired spiritual root.

He originally thought that from one of the six major sects, the outer sect deacon of Ziwei Dao Sect, maybe he could have a solution.

But now...

Zhao Mu got up and said: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, Pindao will leave the palace first. As for the clues of the demons making trouble, if Your Majesty sorts out the clues, please send someone to Jiaofang Division. Pindao will live in the palace." There."

Jiaofang Division?

Emperor Yongchang and Qian Delu were taken aback at the same time, does this priest still like it so much?

Seeing Zhao Mu walking towards the door.

Emperor Yongchang suddenly spoke again: "Master Daoist, the last question, have we met before?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty finally remembered?"

"Does your Majesty still remember that there is a Dao-seeking Palace in this palace, and there was a person living there decades ago?"

"When His Majesty was still young, he was brought into the Palace of Finding Dao by the late Emperor, and met with Pindao. At that time, Pindao had taught His Majesty martial arts for two months."

"It's just that it seems that after His Majesty ascended the throne, he hardly paid any attention to martial arts."

After Zhao Mu finished speaking, he had already walked out of the imperial study.

"It's him...it's him?"

Emperor Yongchang stood up in shock, watching Zhao Mu's back gradually go away.

He never imagined that the deacon of the outer sect sent by Ziwei Taoist sect this time would be the gentleman from back then.

"Mister is still as young as back then, but I have already..."

Emperor Yongchang sat back on his chair with a gray face.

……

outside the palace.

Zhao Mu walked leisurely on the street, admiring the capital, which he hadn't been back to for decades.

As for Emperor Yongchang, he had already forgotten about it.

In fact, it is not impossible for him to solve Emperor Yongchang's request.

Similarly, some of the immortal cultivators that Emperor Yongchang asked for advice must also have the ability to help Emperor Yongchang condense the acquired spiritual roots.

Just talk about Zhao Mu.

In fact, all he needs to do now is to keep taking the life-prolonging elixir that Zhou Yuniang sent to Emperor Yongchang.

After that, he asked Emperor Yongchang to practice "Six Paths of Tianmen", and after hundreds of years, he would be able to create a Yongchang Emperor with spiritual roots.

But Zhao Mu made the same choice as other immortal cultivators, that is, he decisively rejected Emperor Yongchang.

First of all, the price of helping people to condense their spiritual roots is too high. Those elixir that prolong life are extremely precious, why should they be used on a person who does not have a deep relationship?

Secondly, Zhao Mu has also learned many rules in the world of cultivating immortals over the years.
