Qingguoqingcheng is just a term. If there is no monarch who is obsessed with it, even if she gives birth to a woman with a face that confuses all living beings, she will not be truly valuable. Therefore, the key to the beacon-fire play on the princes is King Zhou You, not Bao Si’s smile.
The woman named Victoria ordered her men to bring out an oriental woman with black hair and black eyes. To be precise, she was a very small oriental girl. The appearance is indeed stunning, but it definitely does not reach the level of maturity that would captivate a country.
She stood in front of the booth. She looked like she was about ten years old at most. Her smart eyes were like stars, and her delicate, charming and pure appearance was like a masterpiece of God. But even so, Li Muye never believed that someone would pay such a high price for this little girl.
"Ms. Victoria, what you did seems to be a bit inconsistent with our regulations." Yi Tongtian said displeased.
Victoria waved her hand and said: "Mr. Yi, don't be angry. Please allow me to complete the transaction first. After that, our princess will personally come forward to give an explanation to Master Feng Pavilion."
Yi Tongtian stopped talking.
Victoria looked around and asked, first in English and then in Chinese, "Is anyone interested in this little girl from the mysterious land in the East?"
It was quiet all around. Li Muye guessed Victoria's origin when he heard the words "Her Royal Highness the Princess". Turning to look at Huo Ze, the latter nodded slightly and said: "She is from the Imperial Power Alliance, but I have no idea who this little girl is."
A voice came from a box due south and said, "We want to try it."
As soon as he finished speaking, an elder in white clothes walked out of the box. Li Muye immediately recognized that this man was the Bai Wugou he met at Yang Qiansui's house that day. He walked calmly and unhurriedly into the field with his bare hands, came straight to Victoria, and said in authentic English: "Madam, please give me a moment."
Huo Ze disdainfully scolded: "This old lackey, who is over ninety years old, can't live like a human being? It's a pity that for all his abilities, he works as a follower for that little bitch Bai Wuxia, Bai Wuchen It’s not even this old fool’s turn to die.”
The little evil didn't like hearing it anymore and said: "You are in your seventies, but you like to spit shit. You are called a great master, but you are not necessarily much smarter than him."
Huo Ze didn't care and laughed loudly: "Little baby, you are from Baiyuntang. It doesn't matter if you feel uncomfortable listening to my words. Sooner or later you will understand how insidious and vicious the people you admire are."
Li Muye said: "Old Huo, if you still want to keep us here to gain knowledge, don't say anything irritating to him."
Huo Ze chuckled dryly and said: "It's just a joke. You still need to be warmed up on this point. If it were you and me here, you would definitely write down for me in a small book the name of a certain person in a certain year and a certain month." Li Zhonghua was offended by the verbal conflict." Joking aside, he actually shut up after saying this.
Li Muye was scheming, but he couldn't resist his curiosity about the excitement below, so he and Xiao Eilai watched intently.
After Bai Wugou said hello to Victoria, he came to the bright and restrained little girl. He didn't say anything, he just looked up and down carefully and nodded. Then he turned around and came to Schroeder's attendant and said in English: "Please go back and tell Mr. Schroeder that Baiyuntang wants this treasure. Can you give me some face?"
The waiter didn't speak. He put his hand on his ear and seemed to be listening to the wireless message. After hearing it, he immediately put away the scroll and turned back to the box.
Bai Wugou came to the old monk of Fukang Temple again and said in Chinese: "Are you a young monk from Japan? How good is your master Chongyuan?"
Rixin looked Bai Wugu up and down, showing a look of recollection. After a while, he suddenly said in surprise: "Are you the great layman Bai Pusa?" Then he hurriedly saluted and said: "Master Chongyuan returned to the West three years ago. He was eighty-two years old, and he mentioned your teachings before he passed away. Fifty years have passed, and it is really rude to think that you are still the same as before."
Bai Wuguo waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite, but he calmly accepted his deep bow and said, "Back then you were a little novice monk who was less than twenty years old, and now you are also an eminent monk in charge of a party. Tell me, what's the matter? It’s something you want especially, I will try my best to give you an explanation.”
He didn't say what he would give in exchange, but directly asked the Japanese monk what he wanted. This confidence is so awesome that it makes Brother Xiaoye jealous and jealous to the extreme.
Monk Rixin hesitated for a moment and then said: "Please allow me to go back and discuss with my fellow disciples before I give you an answer."
Bai Wuguo nodded slightly: "Go ahead." The other party made it clear that he was prepared to open his mouth, but he didn't care at all.
After a while, Monk Rixin came back. He respectfully handed a note to Bai Wugu with both hands and said, "The request is a bit excessive. Please forgive me, great layman."
Bai Wugu took it in his hand and glanced at it, smiled softly, and said: "It's a bit much, but it's not outrageous, so let's do it like this, a Yang-Returning Pill, and a copy of Yongle White Lotus written by Wuchen layman The essence of the Zen Sutra, plus the original manuscript of Leonardo da Vinci's hand-drawn anatomy diagram, that's it." Then he said: "But there is one thing that may make you embarrassed, that is, the last two things were left in the mountain and were not brought out. Can you Please be accommodating and complete the transaction temporarily. I will personally deliver it to Fukang Temple in the future."
Rixin looked ashamed and said: "The generosity of the great layman makes the young monk ashamed, but the young monk cannot agree to this matter. If the things are not available, the young monk can just pay the Yang Dan in kind and add the details of the magic skills. The young monk's It means that you need to tell me in detail, when and where is appropriate, the erection of the alchemy furnace, the use of firewood, the timing of the fire, and other details."
Bai Wugu frowned slightly and said displeasedly: "Rixin, can't you still trust me?"
Monk Rixin said: "I definitely don't dare. I'm just worried about the unpredictability of the world. Although the great layman has the blessing of a long life, he can't say whether there will be any inconvenience after traveling thousands of miles. So it's better to complete the transaction immediately." .”
Li Muye couldn't help but ask Huo Ze when he heard this: "Old Huo, what is this Yang Dan? Is it worth the Japanese monk paying such a high price to get it?"
Huo Ze said: "You are Chinese. When you hear this name, you should know what it is. It nourishes life and increases longevity, strengthens the five internal organs and vital energy. It is a life-extending medicine that can restore the vitality of people who are exhausted and the dying people. If you eat it, you can live for three years longer, and healthy people can live for ten more years if you eat it, do you understand?"
Li Muye said: "Why does this old devil have to be so detailed about alchemy? Is it possible that with modern means, we can't detect the ingredients and copy them when we get the physical object?" Huo Ze chuckled: "Don't forget him. Everything is modern technology. Really?" If everything can be resolved, Schroder, the Pharaoh, studied it long ago, the raw material of the medicine prescription itself is precious, and the process of alchemy is also extremely complicated. The way of harmonizing medicines in ancient Taoist medicine is not just a simple combination of ingredients, but also takes into account the compatibility of the medicinal properties with the yin, yang and five elements of the human body. There is a lot of knowledge here."
Xiao Evil came and said, "This is one of Baiyuntang's most important golden elixir secrets. It is impossible to give it to him."
Bai Wugu was indeed in a dilemma. It was not difficult to ask for the real thing, but it was not so difficult to ask for the prescription. Especially giving the prescription to the Japanese slaves. He was silent, and finally glanced at the little girl. The child seemed to be mute. She didn't say a word, but looked around with a pair of big, ignorant eyes. Bai Wuguan's eyes turned to Victoria again: "Are you sure you only want this book of Ecclesiastes?"
"Yes!" Victoria said: "I'm sure."
Bai Wugou glanced at the little girl one last time, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Please forgive me, I can't do it."
Xiao Evilai suddenly said: "Uncle, I want to do Mr. Bai a favor!"
Li Muye frowned and said, "You have also heard that the little devil has such a big appetite and wants all rare treasures. What can we give him? Just a few pieces of ambergris?"
Xiao Evil came and said, "We have Chang Feng's Notes and the notebook of the previous master that we got in the Ural Mountains."
By the way, the reading app I am using recently has many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!
Li Muye was silent and said: "I have everything in Changfeng's Notes in my head. Even if I write it down now, people won't believe it. Even your master, a top student at Fudan University, can't understand the notes written by the previous generation. You can give it to them for research, but the question is whether they will approve it?"
"Uncle, don't you always say that we owe Bai Yuntang?" Xiao Evil came and said, "I helped Grandpa Bai..."
"Stop talking to me about this useless thing!" Li Muye interrupted him and said: "When it comes to repaying it, we already repaid all the favors when we handed over the short-faced and big-headed bear treasure to Baiyuntang, but we have repaid all the favors. This is not a matter of debt and repayment. Your grandpa is from Baiyuntang. You have been taught all your skills from childhood to adulthood. What I respect is what Baiyuntang has done. This is a moral friend. I am sure I can help. I will try my best.”
Huo Ze suddenly said: "It's not easy to deal with little devils, but it will be much easier to deal with that old guy Schroeder. If you do this, give me the things from Guan Yin's tomb in the Ural Mountains, and then I will give the Taoist Xu I will give you some of my alchemy and miscellaneous skills in exchange for the bronze painting, and finally you will exchange the bronze painting with the little devil for the book of Ecclesiastes."
This is a good plan.
Rather than taking the contents of Guan Yin's tomb back to the foreign devils for study, it is obviously better to give them to Huo Ze to ponder. And the things Huo Zeken took out must be of limited value and could be used to make deals to fool the foreign devils. If the transaction can be completed according to this idea, Huo Ze will be the only one who takes advantage in the end.
"Okay, I'll do as you say!" Li Muye nodded and said, "The things are somewhere else. You help me complete the transaction first, and I will give you the book after that."
Old Huo Ze sneered: "I'm not afraid that you will default on your debt. Anyway, after the transaction is completed, the little girl will be in my hands. If she can't get what I want, she won't be able to go anywhere." (End of Chapter)
