Chapter 531 [Children Guiding the Way]
Hearing the Emperor's inquiry, the **** immediately stopped his backing movements, stepped forward to salute, and said quietly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the matter has some clues. You guys quietly asked people to search around, and it was quite rewarding. Now The collected information is being collected and checked one by one."
"Really good!" Hearing the eunuch's report, the new emperor was overjoyed, and he immediately asked: "The investigation must be careful, and there must be no omissions; you must also be careful in your actions, so that others do not know. When the matter is completed, you There must be a big reward—what are the more reliable ones at present?"
"Your Majesty, the clues collected now are mixed, and often false, conflicting, and exaggerated. The little ones are still sorting out, and there are four most reliable ones."
"First of all, there are rumors in the south of the Yangtze River that occasionally someone will encounter a peach blossom village in the peach blossom forest. , I checked the records many years ago. When the country was founded, there was an immortal from Yunzhongshan who came to help the war, or it may be of the same origin; It is said that there is a magnificent mansion in the deep sea called Dingbo Mansion, I don’t know where it is.”
Hearing that the progress was going well, the Human Emperor greatly appreciated the **** in front of him:
"Very good, you have done a really good job. Go and receive the reward later. Everyone involved in this matter has a share. We will continue to work hard to find out the most reliable immortal information as soon as possible."
Then, Human Sovereign sighed lightly, and said to himself:
"Since I took this position, I know that the rumors are true. At the beginning of the founding of the country, there were really many immortals who came to help. Unfortunately, it is now a time of peace, and those immortals have all retired. It’s gone. And the imperial court didn’t know how to leave more information, so you have to find it slowly now.”
The **** next to him didn't dare to let the emperor stand in the cold, so he laughed and said:
"Yes, yes, those priests of the Zhenyaosi claim to be practitioners, but the methods they practice are too crude, and they can't live forever, otherwise His Majesty will just order it."
Human Emperor came back to his senses, smiled and said:
"You think it's easy, alas, in fact, I thought so at the beginning. I happily went to the demon town to ask the priests, but I was disappointed. And they seem to know too little, so they can't give me any guidance or advice. Alas...we still have to look for the Taoist Immortal."

The sun in the sky is gradually setting to the west, and in a few hours, it will disappear into the mountains in the west with the afterglow as it does every day. The villagers in Linxi Village are still doing their daily work. Like the sun that keeps moving in the sky, they are busy and never stop.
The world is always changing, and there is no such thing as an imaginary life that is always the same day after day.
Since I settled here when the world was in chaos hundreds of years ago, the appearance of Linxi Village and the lives of the villagers have been constantly changing. If you ask the villagers what they think is the biggest change in the village over the years, they will still talk about the time ten years ago.
The medicinal materials are very popular, and they have earned a lot of money compared to the income of the villagers, and the villagers are enthusiastic about it. Then Lin Hai enthusiastically taught everyone how to grow medicine and contacted more channels. The small mountain village, which originally relied on planting barren land on hillsides to avoid tax collectors as an advantage, quickly prospered.
It coincided with the changes in the world. Due to the war, the demand for medicines increased sharply, so the medicinal materials in Linxi Village were used in large quantities among the rebels. Later, the rebel army won the world, and the sales of medicinal materials in Linxi Village also increased. In addition, the government of the new dynasty was much clearer, and the mountain village really embarked on the fastest development period.
But around Linxi Village, there are only so many lands suitable for planting medicinal materials, and the production of medicinal materials in the village has reached a bottleneck. The head of the village recently got Bendan formula from nowhere, and began to organize people in the village to set up workshops to make the medicine. Although there are no results yet, and the small porcelain bottles brought in are still unused, the medicinal fragrance permeating the village has become more intense.
A handsome young man of short stature, carrying a small bundle, walked towards Linxi Village from the direction of the official road.
Today is the holiday, and there are many children playing in the village. The young man came over, found the oldest child, and asked:
"This little brother invited me, but I don't know how to get into the mountain?"
The child stopped the game in his hand, stood up and tilted his head to look at this guy, and said, "It seems that you didn't come into the village to buy medicine? If you go into the mountain, go through our village and follow the path directly into it." That’s right. But you didn’t bring an ax or a medicine basket, and you didn’t have a bow and arrow fork, so you don’t know what you’re going to do when you go into the mountains?”
As if surprised by the child's cleverness, the young man looked at the child carefully, and then said truthfully: "I am going to the mountains to find friends, and I need to find a high cliff."
"Oh, it turned out to be another immortal seeker." The child seemed to have seen a lot, waved his hands and said, "Just follow the path I said, and it is very convenient to enter the mountain from the back of the village. But the adults said that after so many years, There are many people who come to Yunzhong Mountain to visit the immortals, and I have never seen anyone who does not come out disheveled after entering, but does not give up if he does not go in and touch the wall."
"What can I teach you, little brother?" The young man cupped his hands and smiled.
"If you are really told not to go, you won't listen." The child spread his hands and said, "There is a food shop in front, and there are a lot of food for merchants who come to the village to buy medicinal materials. You go and buy some, so you can last longer in the mountains."
"Okay, thank you." The handsome young man who entered the village saluted the child solemnly, then walked into the restaurant, bought a lot of pot helmets and bacon, put them in packages, turned around and walked towards the back of the village.
The path between the mountains seems to be often walked by people. The young man followed the mountain path and turned over two hills in a row at a very fast speed.
Then, he saw darkness in front of his eyes, and there were towering cliffs in the distance, straight into the clouds. There is a plank road winding upwards outside the cliff, which is also hidden in the clouds.
He is very happy, this should be where he is going.
But thinking of the warning from the children in Linxi Village, he still solemnly checked the surrounding terrain.
From here to the bottom of the cliff, there is a dense jungle with thick and overlapping tree crowns, and it is completely impossible to see the situation inside. Maybe those immortal seekers who hit the wall got lost in this jungle? I don't know what's waiting for me inside. Although he was very apprehensive, he still collected himself, touched the package on his back, and walked into the forest.
