Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 170 Negotiation
Li Shen put down the teacup whose tea had already cooled down, and let out a long breath: "So that's how it is."

Li Lijun nodded: "Yes, it's not that I deliberately concealed it from you, it's really... I really dare not say anything about this kind of thing. The master said it, so don't tell anyone. Even Cui Nanny and Erhong and the others did it because Accompanying me day and night, I want to practice, but I can't hide it from them, so I revealed a little bit. Shi Qing only found out about it after something happened yesterday, and Mother Lu is still kept in the dark. As for the relatives at home, even more Don't know anything about it."

Li Shen sighed: "Your master's words are also reasonable. You are a child, and you have not yet cultivated the Tao. If you rashly let people know that you have the method of cultivating immortals, you will definitely attract the attention of countless people. If you meet someone with a vicious mind, How can you resist killing your life in order to seize the cultivation method? Even if you don’t meet any villains, just the sage orders you to offer the cultivation method, which is enough for you to drink a pot.”

If anyone can learn this immortal technique, the gods don't have to select a disciple from thousands of people to teach it secretly.The sage is rich in the world, and he often invites Taoist masters to the palace to discuss Taoism. If he can cultivate immortality, he has cultivated long ago. If he can't cultivate, it means that he has no destiny for immortality.How could Li Lijun spread the immortal law to the outside world without his master's permission?But if she didn't offer the immortal method, she was afraid that the sage would punish Sui Wang's mansion, and Sui Wang's family would end badly.It's so troublesome... It's better not to let outsiders know that she is practicing as a teacher from the very beginning!

Since even Li Lijun's relatives don't know about her practice, Li Shen has nothing to be angry about.Anyway, now that he has broken the truth, Li Lijun didn't hide it, but told him the truth, which is very good.

At this time, he was more interested in other things: "You mean, that time before Fengxian met me, I met your master? Is it such a coincidence?!"

Li Lijun nodded: "There are only two days left in the middle. If it weren't for Uncle Shen, you are going to Fengxian, and A Weng ordered the manager to deliver the letter, so I stayed there for two more days, maybe I would miss the fairy fate It's gone." The truth is of course not the case, but she can't tell the truth, so she can only think that she really met a fairy in Fengxian County.

Li Shen couldn't help sighing: "If I hadn't dawdled in Chang'an at that time, but had set off early to go to Qiaoling to do business, maybe I could have met your master too. Xianyuan is so close to me, but I missed it. Could it be possible? Do you really not have this blessing?" He was a little reluctant, "Does your master often go there? If I live in Fengxian County for a long time, will I have a chance to meet him?"

Li Lijun smiled and said: "Master just passed by here by chance, and may not pass by again in the future. Otherwise, I wouldn't move to Sanyuan? Wouldn't it be better to just live in Fengxian County?"

Li Shen was right after thinking about it, and couldn't help sighing again: "It seems that I really don't have this blessing."

In order to comfort him, Li Lijun told him a piece of news: "Have you heard of the Holy Mother Temple in Yaoshan in Fengxian County? The Holy Mother there is also a real fairy. I only knew about it after I worshiped her." I have been uneasy all the time, afraid that I might be rude in some way."

Li Shen immediately cheered up: "Really? Although when I was in Fengxian County, I heard that the Temple of the Holy Mother there was very effective, but I never thought about going to the temple. There is also the Temple of the Holy Mother in Saga Mountain. I used to I often follow my mother to offer incense, but the vows I made have never come true. My mother said that the Holy Mother is effective, and I donate sesame oil money there every year. If the Holy Mother of Yaoshan is a real god, next time I will Advise A Niang to go to Mount Yao to offer incense!"

Li Lijun smiled and said: "I heard that there are real gods in Zhongnan Mountain, but I have never seen them, and I don't know where they are. The master told me to concentrate on practicing and go to him when I have completed my practice. I dare not wander around , for fear of committing some taboo."

Li Shen hurriedly said: "Since your master said so, you should do it. If you hadn't encountered that demon Dao causing chaos this time and destroying Zhuangzi, you shouldn't have come forward. Although you changed your clothes and Cover your face so that no outsiders will know that you, the fourth lady of the Sui Palace, are a practitioner and know the magic of immortality, but what if someone recognizes you? What if you, as the new owner, come to the village many times and let others recognize you Are you done? You should be more cautious in your actions. Just leave the aftermath to me. You can go back to Mount Saga to practice with peace of mind."

Li Lijun said that her spells can help the people in the village to repair their houses as soon as possible to welcome the coming of winter, so they can't leave yet.Besides, the gopher was injured and was recuperating in her house.If she left and took away her confidants, who would take care of the wounded?
Li Shen agreed with her reason, but couldn't help but ask again: "Is the Rat King really that powerful? I thought it would only trade gold for livestock to eat. It really killed the snake demon? Shouldn't it be?" Could it be you who did it?!"

Li Lijun told him in a low voice: "I helped cut a few swords. Didn't the giant snake say earlier that it was going to settle accounts with the monster who ate Guan Jiazi and Hua Kui? It probably couldn't beat the monster and came back with a serious injury Yes. The gopher fought against it a few times, but because of the previous injury, I was a little weak in the future, so I helped. But the gopher ran away from the demon way, and the squirrel made meritorious service against the snake monster. .Even if its abilities are limited, we can't neglect it. If it wasn't for saving people, it wouldn't have been hit by that monster!"

Li Shen "tsk": "Forget it, it's just giving it some livestock every day. If it can protect the people of the two villages in the future, this is nothing."

Li Lijun said: "It has a grudge with the demon snake because the demon snake robbed it of its treasures, which made it unable to practice. Now that the demon snake is dead and the treasures have been snatched back, it can continue to practice without needing to eat it every day." So much meat. If it is willing, it is fine to raise it on the Zhuangzi. But it was born in a gold mine in Taibai Mountain, Fufeng County. It has lived a good life, and it may not be willing to stay here. We don’t have to hold on to it. Let it decide for itself whether to stay or not."

Li Shen blinked: "Of course. We can't hold it. But...there is a gold mine in Taibai Mountain in Fufeng County? Where is it?" He was very interested, "Li Niang, you said this mouse Your Majesty is a gopher? Does it have a way to drill holes in the mountains? If I make an offering and ask it to dig gold mines, will it agree?"

Li Lijun laughed dryly.It's not something she can decide.She suggested that Li Shen discuss it with the gopher himself.It's just that Li Shen, as a clan, digs gold mines privately, which may be a bit taboo.If it is not absolutely necessary, it is better not to take this risk.

This time it was Li Shen's turn to laugh dryly.After thinking about it, my family is actually not short of money, so there is really no need to take this risk.He just moved his heart, but then dropped his hand.

The gold mine can't be overwhelmed, but the loss suffered by the two Zhuangzi must find a way to make up for it.

Li Shen has ordered someone to report to his home, and Zou Wangfu will report the case to Jing Zhaoyin on his behalf, and take a copy of Jingyang County Magistrate!
I heard that although the county magistrate of Jingyang came from a poor family, his family was also wealthy. His father was a wealthy businessman, and he was recommended as an official after following the path of the nobles in Beijing.Li Shen doesn't bother with the nobleman who recommended him, but if he connives at the evil ways colluding with the evil snakes to cause trouble for the dog officials in the village, he will not bleed hard enough to make up for the losses suffered by Liujiazhuang and Liu Erzhuang next door. How can one give up on the scares received by the people in Zhuangzi nearby? !
