Waiting for the wind, waiting for the rain, waiting for your return

Xiao Zhongyuan didn't expect that he would step into Luoxing Palace again.He hoped that this matter was done by Beichen, so he could negotiate terms with him; and he didn't hope that it was arranged by Beichen, then maybe he could enlist his help, even though he was extremely disappointed and disgusted with him now.

The sky in Shenshi was still very bright, but the Haotian Palace was completely dark with heavy curtains hanging down.

"I thought you would never come to me again, I still keep the furnishings here for you." A lazy voice came from the front.

A few spiritual winds drifted by, and the lights on the green-glazed peacock candlesticks lit up all around, and Bei Chen gathered his clothes and sat up.His silver-white long hair flowed over his loose purple robe and mist gauze, quite coquettish.

"Where is Baizhi?"

"After she calculated me like that, do you think I can still keep her by my side?" Bei Chen's face was filled with hostility: "She has already gone where she should go. If you have the chance, you will see her."

"Did you do the disappearance of the monks of Xianmen?" It was not so much a question as a cross-examination.

"That's why you came to see me?" Bei Chen got up and sat down at the white jade table, imagining a set of sapphire porcelain tea sets, his tone was flat, and he didn't care: "I haven't seen you for a long time, your attitude is really heart-warming." cold."

Xiao Zhongyuan sneered: "After you have done so many despicable and shameless things, you still expect me to sit and drink tea with you, chatting happily?"

"I'm hoping so much. Since you came to see me today, you must have something to ask for me. Let's talk about it?" Beichen handed over a cup of tea: "It's cold in the Eastern Great Desolation, and you've always been cold. Drink a cup of hot tea to keep you warm." warm."

This person's face is really thicker than a copper wall, as if those things never happened in the past.

Xiao Zhongyuan sat down opposite him with a cold face, the tea did not move at all.

"Did you do the disappearance of the monk of Xianmen?"

Bei Chen took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "If I say no, would you believe me?"

Xiao Zhongyuan looked at him and didn't speak.

Beichen curled his lips into a smile: "You must not believe it in your heart. According to your research, this matter was laid out in the great wasteland of the East more than a hundred years ago. Only a handful of people have survived since then. Fang Junji He's really just a puppet on the stage, even if you press him, he probably doesn't know the inside story and can't ask anything."

Xiao Zhongyuan waited for him to speak.But Beichen pushed the teacup in front of him, his phoenix eyes said affectionately: "If you don't drink it, this tea will be cold and lose its original taste."

Xiao Zhongyuan frowned, his Adam's apple twitched slightly, and finally drank it all in one gulp, and reset the teacup on the table: "Can we talk?"

"More than a hundred years ago, I changed my life against the heavens to survive your life and was punished by the heavens. I had to sleep for nearly a hundred years, so this matter was not done by me. If not, how could I let Nanfeng Confucianism teach you? Really? Duoshe, I would choose Nanfeng Confucianism over Qin Ge."

Seeing Xiao Zhongyuan's expression of disbelief, Bei Chen smiled lightly: "Of course, it can't be said that this matter has nothing to do with me, but, Zhong Yuan, I won't tell you."

Xiao Zhongyuan stared at the person in front of him in disbelief, with anger rising in his eyes: "More than 40 living lives, what is the difference between your actions and the demons? Beichen, you are a god of the heavens, so you are really so cold-hearted. ? When you dream back at midnight, can you really feel at ease?"

Bei Chen was obsessed with the teacup, and he was still calm: "Compared to the catastrophe caused by the war between gods and demons after the opening of the Demon Realm, the sacrifice of these people is worth it. They have entered the six realms of reincarnation, and their merits and virtues have their own blessings. Zhong Yuan , Three thousand mortals, endless life, can you not just stare at the present, but look at the long term?"

Xiao Zhongyuan got up angrily: "No matter how far away the world of mortals is, it is composed of countless presents. Without the present, how can we talk about the future? Beichen, don't you understand why we have come to the present? !"

Beichen's pupils shrank, his heart ached, and the teacup in his hand immediately turned into powder: "Why is this between you and me? It's all because of Jun Fu! I just want him to die, and I want him to be scolded by thousands of people, so that everyone can get it." Punish him, okay? What kind of gods in the heavens, ancient gods, I have long been tired of living, and now I just want to follow my heart!"

Facing his hideousness, Xiao Zhongyuan couldn't help taking a step back, and said with a wry smile: "In the final analysis, it's all for your own selfishness."

"Zhongyuan, my selfishness is only for you from the beginning to the end. If you are willing to come with me, I can let everyone go. It doesn't matter what demon realm or artifact." Beichen wanted to grab his hand, Xiao Zhongyuan His figure flickered slightly, and he avoided it easily.

"You really took great pains. Before, I didn't understand why you gave up the position of Emperor of Heaven so easily and asked me to swear a heavy oath in front of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, just because you know that the heavens will not tolerate people who open the demon realm. You just want me to be hostile to him, and it would be best if I could kill him, right?"

"Yes." There was a cruel smile in Beichen's phoenix eyes: "I personally delivered the last fragment of Shura's Evil World Mirror to him, and he chose to get back his complete memory. Zhong Yuan, between you and Among them, he finally chose himself. Now that Jun Fu is dead, what you see is the ancient god Xing Tian who is as old as me, do you still like him?"

"So all the layouts are for him to open the Demon Realm? Or to kill him? The goal from beginning to end is him."

Bei Chen was startled, and slowly cleared up his emotions, transformed into a new teacup, and said calmly: "It's all possible. He will definitely open the Demon Realm."

Instead, Xiao Zhongyuan's expression gradually calmed down, and the warm candlelight reflected his warm eyebrows and eyes. "Beichen, you really never understood him. If Xingtian could give up the title of Venerable Mount Sumeru for the sake of Xihuang, go through thousands of calamities, and rebuild his merits. He will definitely not reopen the battle between gods and demons in the six realms, and let them The mountains and rivers that were once guarded fell into a bloodbath."

Xiao Zhongyuan gently picked up the teacup in front of him, and then put it down in disgust: "You think that if you can calculate people's hearts, you can become your pawn, but you don't know that people's hearts are the most uncontrollable thing. Beichen, just watch carefully. "

The door was suddenly opened, and the cold wind blew Beichen's silvery white hair into disorder. The candle flame was half extinguished instantly, and the room became dark, with a trace of coldness creeping up.Bei Chen stubbornly sipped cups of tea alone: ​​"No, it's impossible, he will definitely open the Demon Realm, even if he doesn't want to, he won't be him anymore."

Xiao Zhongyuan went back to Chengxin Hall, but Jun Fu was not there. Eunuch Hao said that the Holy Master had gone to Qingyuan Mountain early in the morning, and he probably would return in the evening, so he specifically told Xiao Xianjun not to wait for him for dinner.

How could Xiao Zhongyuan sit still, the target of all these plots was Junfu, the Demon Realm, and he went out like a gust of wind, only to catch a glimpse of a black shadow moving towards a certain palace extremely swiftly.

Fifty miles away from Juling, Qingyuan Mountain is rich in copper mines. After several years of mining, a huge deep pit has been formed. Today, there are still nearly ten thousand people mining and smelting here.

Jun Fu went down the shaft, and there were already many excavation nets criss-crossed here, layered on top of each other, and there was nothing special on the surface.Jun Fu walked casually along an alley, and the rock wall shone with green fluorescence in the dim candlelight, the color of copper mine.

Jun Fu put his hand on it, and the spiritual flow penetrated along the crack of the wall, without any special perception or response.Slightly squinting his eyes: Strange, since Xianmen chooses to mine here, it should be used to do something to deceive people, but there seems to be nothing special here.Is it because I think too much?

On the ground, Yin Linsong of Juling Mansion carefully waited on him: "My lord, these copper mines are mined and smelted into geothermal copper pipes on the spot, and then sent to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry will lay them under the city of Juling. .”

Refining?Jun Fu's eyes flashed: "Go to the smelting place to have a look."

The copper smelting site is located at the Dangfengkou on the northwest slope. There are twelve tall copper furnaces standing among them, surrounded by large bundles of charcoal as fuel, and molded copper pipes.

Jun Fu checked it all carefully, even though he didn't miss the crushing table, screening field and slag pit, but he still didn't seem to find anything.Where are so many huge corpses buried?It is absolutely impossible to disappear out of thin air!

Jun Fu: "Where did these copper pipes go after that?"

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly stepped forward and said: "After the smelted copper pipes are sent to the Ministry of Industry, the Great Eastern Wilderness is remote and cold, but the advantage is that the geothermal energy is abundant and inexhaustible. This is the method of heating with geothermal heat. It has been popular for hundreds of years. Today, Chen and others mainly continue to lay according to the drawings left by the predecessors."

Jun Fu took a look at the blueprint presented by the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and saw that the geothermal pipelines laid out like spider webs were criss-crossed and densely packed, making people dazzled.

Can't help frowning: "Who made the design drawings of these geothermal pipelines? Have you all gone to the field to investigate? Is there anything unreasonable?"

Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "My lord, this geothermal installation is a huge project, and some pipes are buried deep and criss-crossed, so it is really inconvenient to investigate. It is said that the person who designed this blueprint was once drawn by a capable monk, and the name is a bit special. The surname is Nanmen, Nanmenya."

"...Go and check! Are there any other clansmen or descendants of this Nanmen family alive!"

Jun Fu's fingers extended westward along the map, and finally landed on Changyang Mountain: "No matter how complicated the laying of geothermal pipelines is, there will always be several roads leading here, right? Take someone to check!"

As long as the target of the other party is the Demon Realm, no matter how hidden it is, there will always be clues.

"Yes, the humble minister leads the decree." The young and capable courtiers did not have to worry about doing things, which was much easier than that of Xianmen.Jun Fu suddenly felt that Jin Dan might have been exchanged with his brain.But wouldn't this scold both himself and A Yuan?Not right not right.

Stretching slightly, he suddenly frowned and said, "Where's Zhong Min? Didn't you say that you will take him with you for all future inspections in the capital? Where is he?"

Several courtiers looked at each other, and suddenly the minister who went to pick up Zhong Min hurriedly reported: "My lord, Zhong Min is dead!"
