Liao Kingdom, deep palace, outside the Changming Hall.

The cold steps were covered with frost. The palace maids outside the door were shivering from the cold cold. They kept breathing in their palms and walking back and forth, rubbing their hands from time to time to give themselves a little warmth.

In the hall, there was light, burning candlesticks, torches on the walls, and braziers placed in the corners of the walls, illuminating the solemn palace made of marble.

The Great Liao Dynasty was established for more than 300 years. Although it is in a stable area, it can be considered as strong.

Unfortunately, there were unworthy lords in dynasties in history, such as the Daliao, who had been passed down for more than ten generations and had produced several foolish people.

The current ruler of the Great Liao Kingdom is one of them.

The emperor has been ignoring the government for three years. He has entrusted all major and minor matters to the national master, devoted himself to refining external elixirs, seeking immortality and seeking the Tao, in order to achieve immortality.

"Come, come, please give me a portion of nectar! I will hold a banquet for the moon today, praying for the gods and immortals to come to the mortals and enjoy the elixir!"

The half-drunk king, holding two concubines on the left and right, stumbled to the palace gate.

"King, Chenglu Pan will not be able to collect a plate of dew until the second half of the night. It's not time yet!"

A little yellow gate came forward with the courage to tell.

The Chenglu Pan is a wide silver pan placed on a ten-meter-high platform to receive dew every month, thinking that it is used to refine alchemy and combine medicine.

According to famous alchemists in the Zhongxian Pavilion, cleansing nectar can be a medicine for health preservation and life-prolonging. Taking it for a long time can keep your face alive.

Therefore, when the high platform is raised and the inheritance plate is used, the king of the country will refer to the dew every day, and then practice the art of controlling women and becoming immortals taught by the national master.

All major and minor matters in the court should be entrusted to the national army, and the court's principles were abolished and politically corrupt for ten years.

"Your Majesty, there is no nectar anymore. Why not go to the alchemy room to get a gourd golden elixir? Remember the reward of the alchemist last month and refined it into the leopard fetal Yijing pills, so that my sisters can also try it out?"

The two concubines looked at each other, and their parents and tribesmen were in the hands of the national master, and they had long become the national master's eyes and ears. They should pay attention to the movements in the harem at all times and convey information.

The king of the country was foolish and was raised in the deep palace since childhood. He did not understand these privacy methods at all and had no awareness of the changes around him.

Before we knew it, the alchemists led by the national master almost controlled most of the harem, and all the maids of the Yellow Sect had to listen to them.

Anyone who cares about the royal family will be sent away and replaced by the hands of the national teacher.

Poor this king, he is still drunk and dreaming, and is as alive as a fat pig raised, not knowing that his death is coming.

In the alchemist room, there are still alchemists guarding the fire at night, adding firewood from time to time to keep the temperature under control.

Since ancient times, burning elixirs has been an extremely hard and dangerous task.

It is hard to refine elixirs and stay up all night, just to pinch the mercury steam in the elixir furnace smoothly frost, and then add materials at all times, such as sulfur, charcoal, saltpeter, etc.

Many alchemists will train some apprentices to guard the fire instead of themselves, saving time.

Alchemy is still a dangerous job.

Many times, alchemists who burn elixirs are not sure what will happen. The formation of each elixir recipe requires hundreds of experiments.

Experiments are unpredictable. During the experiment, the furnace is often destroyed and killed. The famous black gunpowder is said to be born in this process.

Even the king who is obsessed with alchemy practice knows that he cannot place the alchemy house in his own residence.

Therefore, the Danfang is actually a single door and separate courtyard, specially separated, surrounded by artificial canals, one for convenient water withdrawal, two for convenient sewage discharge, and three for preparation for fire extinguishing.

On average, it takes ten days and half a month to fry the stove here and replace new equipment.

After ten years, more than just a sea of ​​gold and silver has been poured into it?

The consumption of alchemy cannot be done without the power of the country.

"It's already late at night. Isn't it good to leave the palace at this time?"

Although I had a little unclear after drinking, the king still knew that it was a bit far away.

He hesitated a little, but then he refused.

"The palace gate has been locked. It's too troublesome to leave the palace at this time. I'd rather wait until tomorrow morning."

Drunk, he turned around and was about to walk into the hall.

The two concubines thought about it, but they actually didn't want to play like this and they were troubled. If they really aroused that group of people and opened the palace gate, they would probably really struggle until tomorrow morning.

Once the palace gate is locked, unless there is an emergency military situation or an accident, it will be very troublesome even if the king himself wants to go out, unless he wants to run away at night, without taking the imperial carriage and ceremonial guards, etc. out alone.

With his eyes open and holding the wall, the king of nearly thirty years old retching, and it seemed that he had drunk a little too much, and it was not very comfortable now.

"The foolish monarch! He sings every night, so debauchery! He loses his power! He neglects government affairs and ignores the court rules! He loses his rule! He denies wise men and appoints villains! He loses morality!"

"Why worry about the country not being in chaos and people not being in trouble?"

Just before the young king, there was a figure in the Taoist costume in Qingyi, pointing at his nose and cursing, and the spitting stars were about to splash on his face.

The two concubines were so scared that they were bleak.

The king did not see it with his back, but they saw with their own eyes how this Taoist man turned from a white crane into a human form.

Of course, they would not think about the gods, they would only think they were monsters.

Mr. Ye likes dragons, nothing more than this.

When something magic happens before them, they will be frightened and anxious.

"Come here! Protect your car! Protect your car!"

"Assassin, there are assassins!"

As the shrill shouts sounded, soon, a large group of people arrived, with footsteps, armor and weapons colliding.

The inspecting guards arrived immediately and surrounded the place neatly.

This is the royal guard and is one of the troops that the Great Liao Kingdom still maintains its combat effectiveness so far.

The national sect once tried to get involved in the military power of this guard, but was forced back by the royal family. This was an army that was only loyal to the royal family.

The king who had drunk the wine was fearless. He was not at all panicked, and he ignored the guards around him. He just looked at the Taoist in Qingyi and asked curiously:

"Who is an immortal? A demon? A god? A ghost? A ghost? A god? A ghost? A god? A god? A god? A god? A god? A god? A god? A god? A god? A god? A god? A ghost? How dare you ask what the title is? Where does it come from?"

"Hmph! I am an immortal! My name is Ding Lingwei, a thousand years ago, the family of Maolin Ding came here to seek justice today!"

As soon as Ding Lingwei waved his sleeves, he heard the sound of tingling and falling to the ground. All the armor and weapons on the guards around him fell to the ground.

"Okay, this move makes it good!"

The king's eyes lit up and he applauded.

"But it's worse than the national master. The national master can spit out flames three meters away, and use both hands to catch copper coins without getting contaminated. Although the Taoist's move is wonderful, he is still not qualified to be a national master."

"At most...become a fifth-grade Xuanjing Jingyan Envoy!"

The king stretched out five fingers and counted them, looking demented.

He hadn't woken up yet, and was almost in his dream.

"I don't know if a person is a priest in the wild or a Taoist, do you have a certificate of sanctions? If there is no certificate of sanctions, you have to add a certificate of sanctions first. It's quite troublesome. Why don't you perform another trick, I will exempt you from this procedure."

He actually regarded Ding Lingwei as a first-class Taoist priest or Taoist who sought officials.

The biggest difference between alchemists and Taoists is that alchemists do not have a certificate of tutoring, and often come and go at will. They live in the deep mountains and forests, and are rarely seen outsiders.

Taoist is a monk who is recognized by the court and has been evaluated and issued a certificate of decree. Regardless of whether he has a true Taoist practice or not, he can have a certificate of decree.

"...It's really, really..."

Ding Lingwei summoned ice water and dripped it down. Suddenly, he woke up halfway.

Add another basin of ice water, and the cold wind blows through the hall and wakes up completely.

"This is this, this is really an immortal?"

The king looked around in surprise, and everyone, including his two concubines, paused, solidified in place in various positions, just like leaves solidified in amber.

After his shock, his eyes were filled with fanaticism.

That is the joy of getting the wish!

"Hahahahahahahaha, Gu's sincerity finally touched the immortal. The immortal finally came to Gu's eyes!"

He looked like crazy, the king laughed and rushed towards Ding Lingwei, but was avoided.

"Immortal, please give me the medicine for immortality. I don't want to die. I will live for another thirty years!"

When he saw Ding Lingwei, he was very unenthusiastic and obviously disliked himself. The king did not consider the dignity of the king at all, and fell to the ground on the spot, bursting into tears.

"You only have three years to live..."

Ding Lingwei saw that the king in front of him was poisoned and his life was not long.

"You have eaten too much lead and mercury, which is a highly poisonous thing, and you have squandered your essence. The thief has gone away and the people are completely empty. Now there is no medicine and stone to save, and even gods cannot save them."

"I don't want to die yet!"

"Please help the gods to save me! I don't want to die yet!"

Ding Lingwei no longer paid attention to him, but just looked not far away.

A faint shadow stands under the moon.

"It's the Earth God again? How dare I come to me? I wonder if someone Ding has killed many ghosts and gods along the way? Why bother to seek death..."

Ding Lingwei's words are not conceited. As for the human world, most of those land gods are worshipped by Maoshen in every village and village. There are only a few hundred believers, and few of them can make a difference.

Even the Lord of the Famous Mountains and Rivers has few existences who can defeat him in the priesthood.

Of course, there are exceptions for the earth gods like Emperor Taishan who have come from ancient times.
