I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Chapter 118 A show to welcome guests, a life-protecting elixir

In the evening, the palace servants and a group of guards gathered in a carriage and left the palace city to outside Shi Miyuan's manor.

When the generals of the forbidden army guarding the entire manor came out, the chamberlain announced that the murder case in the Prime Minister's Mansion would be handed over to Marshal Meng with full authority to investigate. The group of forbidden troops who blocked the manor would also be dispatched by Marshal Meng before the case came to light.

After the decree was announced, the chamberlains and palace guards said goodbye to the people in the carriage and returned to the palace. From the beginning to the end, no one in the carriage showed up.

After the carriage entered the manor, a moment later, the coachman walked out of the manor alone, crossed the river with ease, and knocked on the brass ring on the door of the mansion on the other side.

Su Hanshan had long heard the noise outside. When he opened the door, he saw a handsome young man with eyebrows like swords and eyes like paint, standing outside the door.

This man looks exactly like "Chen Weiyang", and even the sword on his back is the same.

But Su Hanshan felt that his aura was obviously much weaker than that of the person who broke the formation before.

Chen Weiyang clasped his fists and said, "Su Shaoxia, my master invites you to come to the manor to get together."

Su Hanshan laughed: "Wait for me."

He turned around to the house and took out a blue and white porcelain teapot. He closed the door and floated across the river. He followed Chen Weiyang into the manor, passed through several gardens, and arrived in front of a small building.

There was a carriage parked outside the building, and some Imperial Guard soldiers were on duty around it.

When Su Hanshan entered, several Forbidden Army generals were reporting the case to the old man sitting at the table.

He was indeed an old man. He should have thick eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose, and a heroic appearance, but now his face was sallow, tired, and there were wrinkles between his eyebrows and at the corners of his eyes.

Even the two strands of hair hanging down at his temples and the short beard on his chin showed a yellowish and slightly curly look, without any luster.

Su Hanshan waited for a while, and then the old man waved his hand to ask the generals of the Imperial Army to retreat.

This case was originally at a loss, and there wasn't much important news. Several Forbidden Army generals were not afraid of being heard by outsiders.

However, one of them recognized that Su Hanshan was the person living across the door and couldn't help but take a second look.

When Su Hanshan looked back, the man smiled and cupped his hands.

To be able to reach the position of general of the Forbidden Army, not only do they have good martial arts skills, but more importantly, they are well-informed and well-informed. Of course, these people will not ask for trouble.

They exited the small building politely, even calling away the soldiers on duty, and left far away.

Su Hanshan walked to the table, put the teapot on the table, and said with a smile: "I wanted to invite a friend to drink tea two days ago. I didn't have time at the time, but I can make up for it now."

"what!"

Meng Zhaoxuan showed a slight smile, "It seems that you will know who I am before the third day. Did you talk to Li Qiumian?"

Su Hanshan nodded and reached out to look at the tea sets on the table.

Although this small building is a pavilion for storing books, it cannot withstand much moisture on weekdays, but this table is placed near the window, which is the most ventilated and exposed to the sun. It is a perfect place to drink tea.

Although the Imperial Guards knew the opportunity, they thought too much. When they sent people to make tea, they planned to select the best tea directly from the Prime Minister's Mansion to entertain the marshal, but the result was that it had not been delivered yet.

Su Hanshan first drank some hot tea, washed the tea sets in the tea tray, poured three more cups of tea, handed one cup to Meng Zhaoxuan, then turned around and gave one cup to Chen Weiyang.

"Thank you!"

Chen Weiyang's voice is very energetic. Although the timbre is similar, if you listen carefully, it is indeed slightly different from the "Chen Weiyang" Meng Zhaoxuan pretended to be before.

Meng Zhaoxuan took a sip of tea, his voice was still low and hoarse, but it was very different from when he was pretending before: "It seems that you are recovering well, and your hair is black again."

"While reading and recuperating, I also thought about a lot of things."

Su Hanshan quietly found a stool to sit next to and said, "You took this manor not only for the two purposes of eradicating Shi Miyuan and obtaining the secret book, but also because you took a fancy to the manor itself. Is it valuable?”

Meng Zhaoxuan smiled: "Since the news that I am seriously ill has spread, there will definitely be some trouble when I return to Lin'an this time."

"The General's Mansion given to me by the imperial court is surrounded by the residences of loyal ministers. It is not suitable as a place for this storm to gather. If I rest in Fuyao Mountain, it will inevitably damage our own people's property. In comparison, this Of course the manor is very nice.”

Chen Weiyang had finished drinking his tea, so he poured himself another cup and said, "And the Qimen mechanism in this manor is really powerful. When the master came back, he didn't want to bring many people with him, so he borrowed the layout of the mechanism here. It can be regarded as making up for some shortcomings in human hands.”

Meng Zhaoxuan has a cloud of good generals and a rain of counselors under his command. The number of first-class masters exceeds the sum of Fuyao Mountain and Kuanggutang.

Many of them were originally heroes in the world. After being tempered by the flames of war, they naturally became better. There were also many who emerged from ordinary soldiers.

Troubled times are actually the easiest time to produce talents. This does not mean that people in troubled times are always more talented than people in other eras, but because they have experienced more dangers and hardships. As long as they are not dead, they will of course be polished into talents faster.

However, when Meng Zhaoxuan left the border, he assigned everyone additional tasks to stay in various places, inspect defense and general affairs, and maintain vigilance. Only Chen Weiyang came back with him.

Su Hanshan nodded: "It seems that our guess is not too wrong. The people from Fuyao Mountain should arrive soon. Many of them are craftsmen and will help repair those mechanisms."

"in addition……"

Su Hanshan stretched out a hand and said, "Marshal, show me the pulse gate."

Meng Zhaoxuan reached over and said with a smile, "Can you diagnose your pulse?"

"After a long illness, you become a doctor and you know a little bit about it."

Su Hanshan said, "But my focus is not to check your pulse. I have a set of mental methods that are miraculous in healing wounds. How about relaxing a little and giving it a try."

While talking, Su Hanshan had already introduced Rama's power into Meng Zhaoxuan's body and told him the secret formula of Rama's mind.

Meng Zhaoxuan used this power as a guide, mobilized his own foundation, and soon followed this set of exercise routes, running it several times, and his frown seemed to loosen slightly.

"What a wonderful mental method. The healing effect is almost as good as Huashan's Hidden Dragon Sleeping Alchemy and Shaolin's Yi Jin Jing Healing Chapter. It is also gentler and seems to be very easy to get started."

The two sets of martial arts mentioned by Meng Zhaoxuan are top-secret chapters of the two sects. Even their own disciples can rarely practice them. It is very difficult to get started.

In comparison, the standard for entry into the Rama Mind Method is much lower.

Su Hanshan shook his head and took back his hand.

"It seems that Mr. Zhang is right. My mental method will not have any obvious effect on you."

Meng Zhaoxuan did not suffer from injuries to his muscles, bones, skin, or flesh, nor did he suffer from necrosis of Qi and blood due to poisoning, but there was something wrong with his practice.

His lungs have been completely tempered, and the gold energy is too strong, oppressing the liver, and there is no other force in the body that can balance it.

No matter how Rama's mind works, it can at most relieve the pain of the liver, but it cannot shake the powerful lung metal energy, and naturally it cannot cure it.

Meng Zhaoxuan returned his hand and pressed his liver, and said with a smile: "It's pretty good. I usually use the Yi Jin Jing to heal my injuries during the day, and the Sleeping Pill Technique at night. Although I can ensure that I can use the Eighth Success Body when necessary, I can't feel the pain." There is not much reduction, and your mental method can just reduce the pain."

Su Hanshan said: "Mr. Zhang will be here later. I think he already has some results on hand. Let him show it to you and look through the secret book here."

"It's best if it can be cured. Even if it can't be cured, I will take this opportunity to accomplish some things."

Meng Zhaoxuan drank the hot tea slowly and said, "In the future, I will choose a place with many people to do a scene. Originally, it was just me and Xiao Chen, which was a bit thin. Your origin is mysterious, so it can be a good match."

Su Hanshan asked curiously: "What show?"

Meng Zhaoxuan immediately gave a concise explanation, which made Su Hanshan smile.

"Okay!"

Su Hanshan stroked his palm and said, "I must help with this kind of thing."

While they were chatting happily, two clear voices sounded in the small building.

"Dali Dragon Tea, come and visit Master Meng!"

"Annan Chen Shouzhi is here to pay a visit to Marshal Meng."

The two people speaking were actually outside the manor at the moment, but anyone within two or three miles would feel as if someone was speaking beside or behind them when they heard these two voices.

The sound is loud, but not high-pitched or harsh.

Many Forbidden Army soldiers even glanced behind themselves subconsciously.

Su Hanshan's eyes brightened slightly, and he felt two distinctive auras.

One is thick and hard, like a huge rock rooted in the earth.

One is strong and solitary, like the green bamboos blowing in the wind on the cliff.

Meng Zhaoxuan also moved slightly, walked to the door of the small building and said, "Invite them in."

Although the Forbidden Army soldiers were far away, their eyes were always paying attention to the movements of the small building. When they saw Meng Zhaoxuan's invitation gesture, they immediately understood it.

Soon, a large group of people came over from outside the manor. Most of them were from Fuyao Mountain and were familiar faces of Su Hanshan. Less than half were monks, as well as uniformly dressed green-robed scholars.

Li Qiumian walked in the front, alongside an old monk and a scribe.

As they walked closer, everyone saluted together. The etiquette was different, but they were all very respectful in their expressions and manners.

"The Imperial Master of Dali and the Emperor's Uncle Annan came all the way from afar. Meng met them at a distance."

Meng Zhaoxuan returned the gift with his hand, "Qiu Mian, we may not see each other for a long time."

With so many people here, it was certainly not suitable to enter the small building anymore, so Meng Zhaoxuan led them to a spacious hall to have a chat.

The tea, cakes and cakes of the Forbidden Army soldiers finally had the opportunity to be delivered and placed in the hands of the distinguished guests.

"Amitabha, the Song Dynasty and Dali have always been friendly neighbors. In the past, the Mongols invaded Dali. In the Battle of Jiuhe, it was thanks to Meng Benefactor who sent people to respond to the surprise attack that Kublai Khan was forced to retreat."

After the Dragon Tea Divine Monk took his seat, he said straight to the point, "Although the poor monk is from outside the country, he respects Meng Donor very much. He was shocked to hear that Meng Donor was ill, so he came to visit him and brought me some strange medicine 43 from the Dali treasury. In this way, there are nine kinds of elixirs and seven famous doctors, hoping to help Master Meng."

As he spoke, the monks behind him came out one after another, opened their baggage, and took out the brocade box. Some monks were obviously proficient in medicine. They clasped their hands and paid tribute to Meng Zhao.

Chen Shouzhi also said: "On behalf of An Nanguo, I would like to express my sincerity."

The monks saw the opportunity and got out of the way, while the scholars held out their baggage.

The difference is that the monks' brocade boxes have already been labeled with the names of the medicinal materials and have not been opened specially. However, after the scholars took out the brocade boxes, they opened them all.

The expressions of many Forbidden Army soldiers changed slightly, and among the Fuyao Mountain disciples, there was also a low cry.

Su Hanshan took a closer look and found that the items in the brocade boxes all seemed to be the corpses of poisonous substances.

There were spiky snakes with black skin after being disemboweled and dried in the sun, and large colorful spiders the size of fists.

There is also a small toad whose body is as green as jade, but its eyes are as scarlet as blood, making people frightened by it.

There is even a giant centipede that seems to be more than a foot long, with a back shell as black as iron and thousands of legs made of gold, coiled in a lacquer box.

"Venom-toothed bone snake, Qiansi Immortal Grandma, Cold Cave Toad King, Golden Winged Centipede..."

Zhang Shuwei suddenly spoke, knowing all about those poisons, and there was a bit of excitement on his face, "These are rare medicinal materials that are rare in a hundred years, golden-winged centipedes. Legend has it that one only appears in 500 years, and they can be found together in one place." "

"It is said that the land of Annan has vast forests, deep mountains, thousands of caves and corridors, and an endless supply of strange things. It is indeed true."

He scanned the medicines and suddenly pointed at a small black tree with a strange shape and said, "I don't know what kind of treasure this is, and I don't even recognize it?"

The small tree also has a smell similar to sandalwood. If you smell it from a distance, you will feel your ears and eyes are sharp and your nose will be comfortable. It is absolutely extraordinary.

"It was an undersea coral that had suffered a whale fall. It was regarded as a nest by the nearly mature cuttlefish. It was soaked with its own ink all the year round. It was only then buried in it after old age and death that it became a unique treasure. It was acquired by the natives of the overseas islands and called it The black jade dragon horn is regarded as a treasure given by the gods. When I was traveling overseas, I killed a group of foreign pirates and rescued the natives of an island. They used this thing as reward. Later, I read through the classics and visited famous people, and then I learned about this thing. origin."

Chen Shouzhi knew the other party's identity as a miracle doctor, and after hearing the praise, he felt a little flattered. He talked about his past experiences and finally gave a sermon.

"These treasures are also stored in our royal family's secret collection and have been accumulated for many years. They are a batch of strange medicines at the bottom of the box. All of them have miraculous effects on increasing Qi and blood. No matter what the cause of Marshal Meng's illness is, those with strong Qi and blood will be immune to all evil. If you use these medicines properly, they will definitely have the effect of extending your life."

If you are an ordinary person, you may have to worry about whether you are weak or not.

But Meng Zhaoxuan is a master-level figure. There is a part in his body that has been completely tempered. Even if the pain in other parts is severe, he can still use the part that has been tempered to refine the medicinal power.

Therefore, Chen Shouzhi's idea is indeed correct.

The only question is, how much of Meng Zhaoxuan's energy can these things that are extremely supplementary to ordinary people, and how long can they last for?

Famous doctors from three parties came forward one after another to diagnose Meng Zhaoxuan.

Those people in Dali and Annan soon became sad, as if they had encountered a huge problem.

Zhang Shuwei felt a little weird in his heart.

According to the knife manual and Zhang Shuwei's own research, Marshal Meng can at least use the five-success body. If Xi has a healing method like Rama's Heart Method, he may even use the seven-eighth success body.

Even if he only has less than a year left to live, his combat power will not weaken too much before his death.

However, after the pulse diagnosis just now, Meng Zhaoxuan's body was in complete chaos. Except for the particularly strong lung pulse, the balance of other pulses had been completely broken.

In this situation, it would be good if he could use one successful body, but if he used a little more, he would probably vomit blood on the spot.

How could this be?
Zhang Shuwei was suspicious when he suddenly thought that Li Qiumian came to him specifically two days ago and said that after meeting Marshal Meng, if he found anything wrong, he should not express his position and just look at Marshal Meng's own intentions.

"Oh, you don't have to worry."

Meng Zhaoxuan sighed slightly, "I know how my body is. Although I still have a few months to live, I am afraid that in less than a month, this body will completely linger on the bed and it will be difficult to get up."

"I dare not refuse the kindness of the Imperial Master and the Imperial Uncle, but I am afraid that I will not be able to repay it in my lifetime."

Chen Shouzhi asked a few questions to Annan's famous doctor. When the famous doctor nodded, his face turned ugly and he said, "Is there really nothing we can do?"

Chen Weiyang suddenly said: "There is a way!"

Meng Zhaoxuan frowned and shouted, "Weiyang!"

Chen Weiyang had a stubborn look on his face and said quickly: "Our second-generation founder of the Xunlong Sword Sect, together with Zen Master Daoji, once created a life-protecting golden elixir. If it can be fired, Even if your master has symptoms like this, it can replenish your vitality and extend your life by ten years."

Meng Zhaoxuan said angrily: "Shut up!!"

Seeing that he was angry, Chen Weiyang gritted his teeth and said no more.

Everyone looked at each other, but Li Qiumian took the initiative to speak: "Since there is such a medicine, why not try to refine it?"

A look of surprise appeared on Su Hanshan's face, he opened his mouth to speak, then closed his mouth.

Li Qiumian had sharp eyes and immediately said: "Hanshan, do you know anything?"

"The life-protecting golden elixir, I heard my family talk about it."

Su Hanshan said hesitantly, "After the elixir is refined, it can indeed save even the dying master, and even restore him to his full glory, but the cost of refining the elixir is too high."

"It requires a strong master who will work without sleep for seven days and seven nights, using internal energy to move the furnace fire, pay attention to the temperature of the fire, and refine the potency. You must not change people in the middle."

"Such a violent consumption is enough to severely weaken a strong master's vitality and destroy more than [-]% of his foundation. He may not be able to recover for decades in the future. It is equivalent to using one master to be completely destroyed in exchange for another. The recovery of the Grandmaster.”

"Therefore, after the second-generation founder of the Xunlong Sword Sect created the elixir recipe, he lamented that it was useless and put it away in a high cabinet, never to be used again."

Li Qiumian's eyes widened and he murmured: "Is there such a prescription? Even the elders in your family have mentioned it. It seems to be true."

Meng Zhaoxuan rolled his sleeves and said, "No need to say it, I don't need this kind of thing."

"You don't need this pill, but the Song Dynasty needs you!"

Li Qiumian thought about it again and again, then stood up suddenly and said decisively, "Xiao Chen, give me the prescription."

"After I've mastered it, your lord can choose not to take it, so just let me be buried with this elixir."

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

Although Chen Shouzhi wanted to help Meng Zhaoxuan extend his life, he couldn't open his mouth to do so at the cost of losing all his skills.

Li Qiumian is willing to take the lead... that is actually the best choice.

Meng Zhaoxuan was silent for a long time and said: "I shouldn't have brought others back. I should have expected it. As long as someone leaks the news and you know it, no one can persuade you."

"Never mind!"

He took a deep breath and said, "After all, you are fighting for my life. If I keep showing off, it will be disgusting."

"But at least there is one thing you must agree to."

Li Qiumian looked complicated and said, "You tell me."

"When you are practicing this elixir, someone with ulterior motives will definitely attack you, and the Fuyao Mountain General Altar may not be safe. Only by transferring your Fuyao Mountain manpower and combining it with the Qimen Formation in this manor can we be more secure."

Meng Zhaoxuan said, "After the mechanism is repaired, Xiao Chen will take charge of the formation, and you will set up the alchemy furnace and refine the elixir here."

Having said this, Meng Zhaoxuan stood up in person, straightened his clothes, and bowed to everyone.

"National Master, Imperial Uncle, everyone, I implore you all to stay in this manor these days to protect Brother Qiu Mian!"

Chen Shouzhi, Longcha Divine Monk and others looked at each other and stood up to return the salute: "The mountain owner's righteousness is admirable. I dare not say anything for the marshal's entrustment!"
