Chapter 7 Countercurrent
As for the reason why Erlangzi didn't go to the Grand Sima Mansion, it was because the bald man suddenly came over and swept away his good intentions of beating people. He was also guarding the Yan Jie of a senior. Who knew that the old man Gui Bugui would kneel on the ground and kowtow to Yan Jie to call him grandpa. Among the monsters with no ethical concepts, Bai Wuqiu is also a relatively alternative monster.
Originally, if Guidou was going to Wang Mang's Grand Sima Mansion to see it, and by the way, inquire about the whereabouts of the alchemist sect over the years. It seems that Wang Mang, the Duke of Anhan, who is under one person and above ten thousand people, does not care about the taboos of alchemist sect. Since he dared to take in Yan Jie, a senior of Xu Fu, by his side, he would more or less know some rumors about the alchemist sect Guangren, Volcano and others.
However, seeing his cheap son saying that he would not give Wang Mang any face, and although Wu Mian did not say anything, he seemed to have no interest in the Grand Sima Mansion. Gui Bugui's mind began to shake. The seal on his body was not lifted for a day, and he could not offend this white-haired man for a day.
Although I have not found a way to untie the seal on the bait island, the old man has never given up because of his understanding of Xu Fu. The old man who is still fishing on the sea is also a former master of greatness and a perfect person. Since he said that Wu Mian helped him to remove the seal, there is a reason for him. Maybe one day, this white-haired man remembers something when he is happy. He raises his hand and can untie the seal that has troubled him for three hundred years.
However, Wang Mang was still a popular figure in the dynasty after all, and it was hard to say that no one could go. In the end, Guangzhi saw Gui Bugui’s thoughts, and he replaced Wu Mian. Gui Bugui and other people followed Wang Mang back to the house.
Although Wang Mang was disappointed, he did not force it. Finally, after a few words of politeness, he gave up his horse and asked Guangzhi to ride on it. The Grand Marshal left Yan Jie and Wu Mian to reminisce about the past. After he rode Yan Jie's horse, he respectfully took his followers to accompany Guangzhi towards the direction of the capital.
After the last escape from the battle, Yan Jie didn't want to have any interaction with Wu Mian and Gui Bugui again, but Wang Mang didn't dare to offend him. After seeing the Grand Sima had already walked away, Yan Jie smiled bitterly and said to Gui Bugui: "I heard that you have crossed the sea to find Xu Fu before. I didn't expect to meet you again here. It seems that he has found Xu Fu."
"Even we know that we cross the sea, when did you care so much about us?" Gui Bugui smiled and continued to say to Yan Jie who was not embarrassed: "Last time you served the King of Huainan, this time you were a pawn for the Grand Sima. Next time, will you go to the palace to be an eunuch for the emperor? Teacher, even if your body is not yours, you can't ruin it like this, right?"
Gui Bugui's tone of speaking was very similar to Wu Mian's signature tone, which made the white-haired man roll his eyelids and glanced at him. The old guy then laughed and changed his tone to Yan Jie, who was hot on his face, continued: "Uncle Teacher, tell me that you are hooking up with this great Sima, and we will learn from it too."
Hearing that Gui Bugui finally gave him a step, Yan Jie hurriedly said, "Don't underestimate this great sage. I once divined him. This man's fate is filled with imperial aura. Sooner or later, he will be the lord of the world. However, if he divined further, even if he was peeping at the national fortune, even though I was no longer a alchemist, I would not dare to spy on the national fortune. Good birds chose trees to live in. Since he accidentally knew that Wang Mang would sooner or later become the new lord of the world, assisting him was only to conform to the will of heaven, why would I not do it?"
Bai Wuqiu is a good person. After hearing that Wang Mang had the luck of emperor, he couldn't help but speak before Gui Bugui spoke, "Bald, you said that the old man just now was going to be the new emperor. Why can't I see that the Grand Sima and An Hangong are considered a high-ranking official, right? Why are they still wearing coarse cloth clothes and other hairpins on their heads also made of wood? Look at the former general just now, and just say that others are a little bit messy, and the silk and satin they wear are not cold at all."
Yan Jie smiled at Erlangzi and continued, "Although the Grand Sima was born as a relative of the country, he was also one of the few wise men in ancient and modern times. Do you know why he only wore cloth clothes and not silk? Did you see why he had no carriage? His Majesty Ping once gave Grand Sima three carriages, and he sold them to help the poor. In addition to our disciples, he also helped the people of the capital. You can find out later. If you are an individual, you will not say that he is not good."
"I even share my salary, so I can't think so much..." After hearing Yan Jie's words, Wu Mian, who had never spoken, finally said: "Whether he seeks fame or a true sage or a wise man, it has nothing to do with us. Let's talk about your old sect. After so many years, has Guangren and the others not heard of it?"
When Wu Mian mentioned the alchemist sect, Yan Jie shook his head full of attention and said, "I have used the relationship between Da Sima in recent years to check the news about Guangren and others, but they seemed to have completely disappeared. At the beginning, I suspected that they were going to sea to invite Xu Fu to return to the air, but after checking, I did not find out the news about Guangren, but found out the matter of you going to sea..."
When he talked about this, Yan Jie suddenly thought of something. After a moment of silence, the monk of Xu Fu, who was the same generation as Xu Fu paused for a moment and continued, "But it's strange for nearly a hundred years. Every time when the weather is calm, there are always some people who pretend to be alchemists and come out to cause trouble. They either participate in the rebels' rebellion, or directly attack the family and rob the women. There are always people who don't want the alchemist to be stable. I have encountered a person who claims to be alchemists blocking the road and robbing the road. In strange things, such a little thief actually used alchemists. He looked very good. Even people like me couldn't see that the art of being fake. Unfortunately, I took a little heavier and didn't leave any living."
"Since it's not fake, it's real," Gui Bugui narrowed his eyes as he spoke, looked at Wu Mian, and continued with a smile: "But since our great master didn't see it, we don't have to cause trouble. We originally wanted to go to the capital to inquire, but now there is no need. But there is one more thing, Zuo Ci, there is no outsider, you can talk to Master Yan Jie..."
As soon as Gui Bugui finished speaking, Zuo Ci suddenly appeared in front of Yan Jie out of thin air. After returning to the Han realm, Zuo Ci was always uncomfortable. He relied on his illusion along the way and kept hiding in the carriage. Now when he heard Gui Bugui call him, he suddenly appeared and scared Yan Jie.
After the ceremony, Zuo Ci told Yan Jie about his experience in Persia. When someone was arresting people in Persia in the costumes of alchemists, Yan Jie frowned. It was the first time he heard about such a thing. Although the news of the official army capturing alchemists in recent years, the celebrity of the Grand Sima knew that what he had caught was just a thief who risked the name of alchemists to rob the house. Even if he encountered a fake product who could use alchemists, he would not have one of them.
Now that he suddenly heard this situation, Yan Jie was a little off guard. At this moment, he could only accept that Zuo Ci would ask the Grand Sima to investigate in detail later. After so many years, who has been obstructing the alchemist to make a comeback?
After all the things that should be said were not a problem, staying outside the capital was not a problem. At that moment, Yan Jie invited Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and other people arrived at his private residence in the capital. Bai Wuqiu was originally one hundred and twenty, but later he heard that the bald man was kicked out of the wall of the alchemist door, and the two of them had no relationship with elders, and they would not recognize this grandfather. Then they reluctantly followed the old guy into the capital.
After placing Wu Mian or Gui Gui in his private residence, Yan Jie immediately went to the Grand Sima Mansion to meet Wang Mang to find out what Zuo Ci said. However, after he entered the mansion, he realized that Grand Sima and Guangzhi had a good conversation. However, just now the empress dowager's imperial decree came from the palace and urgently summoned Grand Sima to the palace. Judging from this situation, Wang Mang would not come back easily for a while.
