Chapter 5 The legend of the alchemist
No matter how hard Zuo Ci struggled, he could not break free from this copper wire array. With the copper wire and the formation on the wooden board, he could not use the illusion that he was proud of. Moreover, the alchemist he had seen before he fainted and never appeared again. No matter how he asked the young monk, he could not get an answer. He was so hot that he beat Zuo Ci with a stick.
This kind of life lasted for nearly three months. Until half a month ago, more than a dozen Han Dynasty people with a strange face suddenly appeared in the small wooden house where Zuo Ci was imprisoned and carried him to the ship. After waiting for the big ship to leave the Persian port, the Han Dynasty people changed into the clothes of the Han Dynasty's official army in front of Zuo Ci. At this time, Zuo Ci had already understood a little. Unexpectedly, after nearly a hundred years, he fled to Persia and still did not escape this fate.
However, it seemed that there was only Zuo Ci, a captured alchemist, who was arrested, who was about to reach the Han territory. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zuo Ci kept looking at Wu Mian, who was not very pleasing to him, and Gui Bugui and others appeared, which saved his life.
Zuo Ci only knew so much. Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Gui Bugui turned his attention to the naked little monk and a few sergeants who were shaking. After a smile, the old guy walked to the little monk and said to him: "Are you talking so hard, or is it that old man, I'll ask, you answer,"
The young monk was a tactful monk. After hearing Gui Bugui's words in a daze, he turned over and knelt in front of the old guy, and said to him: "When the big alchemist said, the young man was named Zhou Mengxiong, and there were seven brothers and sisters in the family, and the young man was ranked fifth. Now he still has two wives, one son, two daughters and three children..."
Listening to the little monk's nonsense, Gui Bugui couldn't help kicking him down, then stared at him and said, "Do you still want to take a bath in the sea? You are talking nonsense, I'm going to your house and eat your wife and three little beasts,"
The young monk was shocked and got up again and knelt in front of Gui Bugui. Before speaking, he gave himself two mouths on his face. Then he said again: "The young one is scared, don't blame the great alchemist. The young one followed the Yunding Master of Yunding to practice Taoism. Five years ago, he followed the master to start a sect of alchemist. However, the little one had a low technique and had never harmed the alchemist. This was all assigned by the master. The young one would not do it. To be honest, the young one also felt very sympathetic to the alchemist...."
When he said this, the young monk saw the monster like a black iron tower and glared again. He was so scared that he shrank his neck and immediately turned back to the topic: "It was because the young man had no ability that he was ranked to Persia by his master. He said that he had found several alchemists here. I don't need to catch people. Just watch this alchemist master. This is also the first time that the young man took action, and he was caught by you, the great alchemist..."
"Tell me about the alchemist, you have already caught a few alchemists," Wu Mian couldn't help but speak and continued, "It's almost a hundred years. Have you not yet come out of your emperor's tone?"
After hearing Wu Mian's words, the young monk immediately moved his body and pointed his kneeling direction at the white-haired man, saying, "When Emperor Wu issued the imperial edict in the last few years, he had already pardoned the alchemist sect, but those alchemists did not show up. Later, when Emperor Xuan came to Emperor Xuan, because it was said that the alchemist sect participated in the rebellion of King Yuan, he was determined to be evil by Emperor Xuan and has been surrounded and suppressed until now. However, for so many years, he has not heard of any great alchemist being caught. This time, this Master Zuo Ci is the most famous alchemist among the arrests."
"What about my fellow disciples," Zuo Ci couldn't help but say to him, "There are three people besides me, and they are all,"
When Zuo Ci mentioned his fellow disciple, the expression of the young monk named Zhou Mengxiong became strange. After Zuo Ci asked twice in a row, Zhou Mengxiong said with a courageous attitude: "Those priests have returned to heaven, but I didn't do it. When I invited Mr. Zuo Ci back, those priests were already breathless, but I buried them all with my own hands..."
Hearing that several fellow disciples had encountered misfortune, Zuo Ci took a deep breath, calmed down his mind, and continued to say to Zhou Mengxiong: "There is another person, who is the alchemist who caught me, and where is he now?"
"I don't know..." Zhou Mengxiong replied stole theft: "It's always been an official who asked me to do this and that. He asked me to invite you out of that house. As for how you were arrested, and who arrested you, I really don't know, as a young man."
Seeing Zhou Mengxiong's appearance, Gui Bugui looked back at the trembling official army, and then said to the bare-butt little monk: "Which of them is the one who is the official,"
After Zhou Mengxiong secretly looked at Gui Bugui, he said from his mouth: "I was still in the sea by this fairy just now, and now I am probably gone..."
Seeing that the monks had no idea what they could ask, Gui Bugui called over the sergeant who was curled up in the corner of the ship, but they were only sent by the superiors to Persia to pick up people. As for other matters, these sergeants did not know about them.
Seeing that he could never ask about the alchemist, the old guy asked a few questions about the change of the Han Dynasty emperors. He learned that he had gone to Baidao for a few years, Emperor Wu died. This emperor was also the long-lived emperor, and he lived for a total of seventy years. In the past ninety years, the Han Dynasty experienced six more emperors. Now the reign is Emperor Ping Liu. Because Emperor Ping was young, his relatives An Han Gong and Grand Sima Wang Mang assisted the government.
"There have been six emperors, and there are six emperors who have no assistants in the alchemist..." Gui Bugui murmured to himself, and smiled at the two white-haired men of Wu Mian and Guangzhi, and then continued: "With this big ship, God has saved Guangzhi's labor. He has been on Bait Island for 90 days. We will also go back to see what has happened in the past 90 years. It has been pardoned, but now it has been decided to be evil. When will the alchemist party be so unwelcome..."
Using Guangzhi to control the wind direction, the big ship was sailing smoothly. After half a day, he arrived at the land of the Han territory. After finding a dock, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and the others got off the ship together with Zuo Ci. Finally, Guangzhi used magic to kick away the big ship that was also equipped with the young monk Zhou Mengxiong and several soldiers. Although there was still a lot of food and water on the ship, whether they could return to the land depends on the luck of these people.
When he came out of Baidao, Gui Bugui brought a few golden cakes. He first bought a new piece of clothing for Guangzhi in the nearby counties and finally bought two carriages. This time, Bai Wugui drove himself without any use, hired two coachmen and drove towards Chang'an.
Although there was no document to arrest the alchemist along the way, when Gui Bugui talked to the driver who was driving the car, the two drivers could not understand what happened to the court and the alchemist in recent years.
Along the way, I passed several large counties and vassal states of princes. Gui Bugui went to inquire several times, and only found out that King Yuan rebelled decades ago. The rebellion army brought the banner of Dafangshi assisting King Yuan. Later, after quelling the rebellion, Emperor Xuan of the reign directly decided that the alchemist was evil. After so many years, as long as there was any movement, the news of the alchemist would definitely be heard. Therefore, the emperors later regarded the alchemist as a thorn in their eyes.
