Chapter 61: Left Alone, Ying Zheng Becomes Murderous
The bright moon is as big as a disk, hanging high in the sky.
On the top of the mountain, there is a figure shrouded in brilliant silver exposure, hazy and independent, as if it will become feathers and fly away at any time.
"Immortals, immortals, there really are immortals in this world..."
Xu Fu stared blankly at the figure practicing on the mountain top. At this moment, his heart felt like a heavy blow, and he suddenly recalled his dream of joining the line of alchemists.
Then there was the later disappointment and despair, the inner ridicule of the so-called fairy tales, and the exhaustion of Ying Zheng's urging.
All kinds of emotions over the years rushed to my heart in an instant, turning into two lines of hot tears rolling down my cheeks.
"Immortal! I, Xu Fu, finally meet an immortal!"
Xu Fu's eyes filled with tears, he knelt on the ground, looked up to the top of the mountain, and shouted with a trembling voice.
"There really are immortals in the Hidden Immortal Peak. I can't be dreaming!"
Lu Sheng was still in a daze at this time, and even slapped himself in disbelief. As a crisp sound came out, he felt "one sixty" and his face was burning.
But the scene in front of him did not disappear. When he saw Xu Fu kneeling and shouting, he immediately knelt down and shouted to pay homage to the immortal family.
Taking advantage of the bright moon hanging high, Li Jing came to the top of the mountain to practice, using the power of the moon to refine his body. Suddenly, he heard someone's shouts in the howling mountain wind.
Immediately, Li Jing slowly opened his eyes, lowered his eyes, and looked to a place one or two hundred meters away, where two figures were kneeling to him.
"Why did you even run there?"
Li Jing knew that there was a cliff over there, but he couldn't get over here.
Even though Yinxian Peak is not very steep, it is still difficult to get up except through the mountain path. Only an experienced hunter who is familiar with the mountain conditions can do it.
Moreover, those one or two paths are rugged and difficult to navigate, and there are cliffs. You need to bring professional climbing tools, otherwise it will not be easy to climb up.
"Huh~"
As soon as Li Jing thought, a strong wind roared around her, directly rolling Li Jing up and flying towards the two oist figures.
Although the distance was far away, Li Jing's eyes could see things like daylight in the dark night, and he could already see the embarrassment and weakness of the two people.
In their current state, they could fall off the mountain at any time if they did anything wrong, adding two stinky corpses to their pile.
Li Jing came riding the wind, and the howling wind made the clothes of the two people on the ground rustle. Just when they were about to say something, Li Jing grabbed their collars with one hand.
Then with a slight jump, Xu Fu and Lu Sheng suddenly felt that their bodies were empty, the strong wind was pouring into their mouths, and they fell from the high mountain. The feeling was so frightening that they became weak.
"Pah! Pah!"
After Xu Fu and Lu Sheng landed, they felt a little dizzy and fell limply to the ground.
Seeing that the two of them were just not used to flying at high altitudes, but nothing had happened, Li Jing left in an instant.
?"Woo woo woo..."
"Immortals, immortals stay..."
Lu Sheng spoke vaguely, but Xu Fu was immediately anxious when he saw Li Jing leaving, waving and shouting.
It's a pity that the figure driving the wind has already disappeared from sight.
"I have lived my life in vain, hahaha, it turns out there really are immortals, and they are at Yinxian Peak."
Seeing that there was no hope of retaining the immortal, Xu Fu came to his senses and still laughed. He felt extremely comfortable physically and mentally. The knot in his heart that had been in his life for half a year was finally solved.
"What should I do next?"
Lu Sheng was a little confused.
"Look for your Majesty!"
Xu Fu looked at Yinxian Peak with burning eyes and said firmly.
Time flies by and the next morning comes.
In the manor in Peixian County, Ying Zheng was sitting in the pavilion by the lake, sipping tea. The tea leaves brewed in boiling water gradually stretched his body, the mist rose, and the fragrance filled the air.
Ever since he learned how to drink tea and make tea from Li Jing, Ying Zheng has now become accustomed to drinking tea.
Moreover, due to Ying Zheng's guidance, the officials who followed him gradually fell in love with the custom of making tea, and tea soup gradually faded out of the circle.
"Your Majesty, most of the dozen or so alchemists who have been released have left the confines of Peixian County. Among those who remain, some are begging and some are cheating in the streets.
Others found regular jobs, two of them died unexpectedly, one was seriously injured, Xu Shi became a barefoot doctor, and Shi Sheng found a job in a drug store..."
Ying Zheng was drinking tea and listening to a eunuch's report.
Previously, Ying Zheng went out of his way to ask Li Jing whether there really were immortals in the world for the sake of the alchemists Xu Fu and Lu Sheng.
It was what Li Jing said might be possible that allowed Xu Fu and others to save their lives.
This is also the case where Ying Zheng was defrauded of a large amount of property and personnel by Xu Fu. It has not happened yet, and he has not been ridiculed and scolded by Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng, so he is somewhat tolerant towards them.
After all, their search for immortality and medicine was recorded in ancient books and ordered by Ying Zheng himself. As of now, their faction has failed to complete its mission at best.
Although he did not kill them, Ying Zheng knew that they secretly squandered some property on the pretext of asking for medicine. Ying Zheng was not unaware of this before, but they should not go too far and work seriously.
Ying Zheng did not pursue the case.
But although the factions are correct, I'm afraid they also know a lot about the intrigues between the alchemists and hide it.
Now Ying Zheng just confiscated all their property and spared their lives, which was also a mercy outside the law.
But after letting them go, Ying Zheng still kept a secret. He sent people to monitor all the alchemists. Ying Zheng wanted to see if they really had a chance to find the immortal...
Compared with spending a lot of money and sending some people to monitor before, the cost is obviously very low. If there is a gain, it will be earned in blood, but if there is no gain, Ying Zheng's mentality is much calmer now.
"Xu Fu and Lu Sheng went to Yinxian Peak and climbed up from a remote place without taking the mountain trail. However, they were caught by Mr. Li last night and sent down."
Soon, the eunuch talked about the current situation of Xu Fu and Lu Sheng.
Ying Zheng immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, outside the villa, Xu Fu and Lu Sheng are asking to see you."
Ying Zheng was waiting for questioning when suddenly another eunuch came in and reported to Ying Zheng.
I just mentioned Xu Fu and Lu Sheng, but I didn't expect these two people to come.
"Xuan!"
Ying Zheng said with great interest.
He really wanted to see what the two of them had to say.
Not long after, Xu Fu and Lu Sheng, who were all embarrassed, came to Ying Zheng and paid homage to Ying Zheng several feet away.
"Your Majesty, there really are immortals in Hidden Immortal Peak!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we have really found an immortal this time."
The two of them shouted and hurriedly told what happened last night. Ying Zheng was quite impatient.
"Shut up, don't I know if there are immortals in Hidden Immortal Peak? Otherwise, how could I develop inner energy!"
Hearing Ying Zheng's scolding, Lu Sheng suddenly trembled, and then he remembered that the alchemist Han Zhong had shouted in horror that Ying Zheng had developed "Qi".
But later everyone went to the prison to review the situation and felt that Han Zhong might have been deceived by the First Emperor.
After all, so many Qi Refining guide alchemists have practiced 0.9 for decades, but they have not developed the so-called qi. Why can Yingzheng, a busy man with the emperor's profession, develop qi.
The more everyone talked about it, the more they felt it was so.
Compared with Lu Sheng, Xu Fu had already thought about many things clearly when he saw Li Jing.
Ying Zheng may have been in contact with the immortals of Yinxian Peak, and then realized that he had been deceived, and then executed all the alchemists.
But it is precisely because of this that Xu Fu and his school survived, because there are real immortals in the world. Their original idea of seeking immortality and medicine was correct.
Moreover, as soon as the two of them confirmed that they were immortals, they ran back. This was undoubtedly a sign of loyalty and should be able to gain Ying Zheng's favor.
Xu Fu was showing off his tricks, and not long after, another eunuch came up and delivered a letter.
"Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao..."
After Ying Zheng read the letter, his eyes could not help but show a cold light. He thought how long it would take, but he didn't expect that Zhao Gao would send him the information in just ten days. .
