Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 264: Traveling and Farewell
In the early morning, there is a little mist in the academy, and wisps of white mist rise from the Mirror Lake, like a fairyland on earth.
The big white goose seemed to know that today was a day of farewell, but instead of wandering around in the lake as usual, it raised its head and kept looking around.

The big black donkey by the lake had an excited look on his face, and kept tapping his hooves on the ground. He didn't know whether he was impatient to go out, or because his hooves were so itchy that he wanted to kick someone.

"You guys should go back. It's not a matter of life and death. I'm just going out for a tour. Why are everyone feeling so sad and reluctant to leave."

Li Ming shook his head helplessly. He didn't know what happened to these people. It's not like I won't come back. Why am I so reluctant to leave?
Then he stopped talking to everyone in the academy and waved to Ye Hongyu to fetch the excited big black donkey and ride it slowly towards the outside of the mountain.

The disciples behind him watched the two men and one donkey leave, until they were out of sight, but Ning Que suddenly muttered: "Why do I feel like I forgot something?"

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly reacted. He slapped his legs with an annoyed look on his face and cried out sadly: "Fuck, my Midas touch, my gold!"

In the past few days, I had been too obsessed with learning martial arts, but I forgot to ask Li Ming for advice on how to turn stone into gold. For a moment, Ning Que seemed to see a mountain of gold turning into dung before his eyes, and was extremely sad.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. It was obvious that they didn't expect that their junior brother would be upset by this. Jun Mo glanced at Ning Que, who was crying like a wolf, and shook his head helplessly, saying that he didn't understand why the master would accept such a money fan into the back mountain, but the look in his eyes The sadness of parting has dissipated.

Fortunately, Third Senior Sister Yu Liang seemed a little disdainful, and slowly said: "Uncle Master's ability to turn stone into gold requires at least the strength of the sixth realm to be used. You are still far away from it now."

Ning Que, who thought that the third senior sister would comfort him, his face fell. He obviously didn't expect that the Midas touch would be so demanding, but it would kill his dream of getting rich in a short period of time.

Everyone in the back hill of the academy couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this scene, and dispersed quite speechlessly. The original sadness was also washed away a lot.

"Little clever guy." Li Ming looked back and shook his head.

"Master, where should we go next?" Ye Hongyu smiled and looked at Li Ming on the donkey's back, but there was not much reluctance to say goodbye.

"wilderness."

He wanted to go to the wilderness to see an interesting person who was born with a lotus. There were 32 lotuses with different petals.

Hearing this, Ye Hongyu didn't ask anything about the purpose of going to the wilderness, and walked straight on the road with the big black donkey. The passers-by who got up early couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene. It's a pity that a pair of jade hands led the donkey, but it was so violent. things.

Of course, their eyes were full of jealousy, looking at Li Ming who was leisurely and contented on the donkey's back, looking like they wished they could take his place.However, facing the jealous and envious looks of passers-by, Li Ming didn't care and even lay down directly.

The academy is not far from Chang'an. Walking on the avenue, you can already see the tall and continuous city walls in the distance. They are going to the wasteland, but they have no intention of entering Chang'an.

However, on the road, an acquaintance had already appeared early in the morning. Li Zhongyi was seen wearing casual clothes, with only a woman by his side, and no bodyguard to protect him.

The woman is a beautiful woman in palace attire, about thirty years old, with beautiful eyebrows, charming yet graceful, and extremely gentle. She is the Queen Xia Tian of the Tang Dynasty.

"How did you come?"

Li Ming stood up and glanced at the two of them, but he didn't understand how Li Zhongyi knew that he was going to travel far away. He looked like he was waiting specially. It was obviously not a chance encounter, and no emperor would be bored and take him with him so early in the morning. My wife went out to play.

"The vice-dean is traveling far away. I came here to see you off, but I don't know how long it will take for the vice-dean to come back from this trip?" Li Zhongyi looked at Li Ming hesitantly. It was not that he had any regrets, after all, the two of them had not been together for a long time. , the friendship is not that deep.

It's just that the academy is the trump card of the Tang Dynasty. The master went on a trip before, and now Li Ming also wants to go on a trip. All the big guys from the academy are going on a trip, which makes him feel a little melancholy. He is afraid that a force from outside the secular world will suddenly attack and he will not be able to cope with it.

Seeing this, Li Ming naturally saw what the other party was thinking, and smiled calmly and said: "The academy does not easily interfere with the secular world, and naturally it will not allow forces outside the secular world to interfere with the Tang Dynasty. It just needs to develop with peace of mind."

The implication is that Li Zhongyi can govern the country with peace of mind. The academy will naturally block the forces outside the secular world, and the academy does not bother to interfere in the battles among the secular world.

Hearing this, Li Zhongyi could only nod, obviously still a little worried. After all, there is obviously a big difference between the academy with the big boss and the academy without the big boss, just like whether there are peace bombs or not.

"I don't know when I will see you again after we say goodbye. Here are some snacks I brought. They are not expensive, but they can be regarded as breakfast for the vice-chancellor."

Li Zhongyi took the box from Queen Xia Tian and handed it to Li Ming. Obviously, he already knew that he could not persuade Li Ming not to travel, just like he could not persuade the master.

The will of great cultivators cannot be controlled by mortals like them. It is enough to give them gifts and form a bond.

Li Ming did not refuse, and reached out to take the beautifully wrapped box from Li Zhongyi's hand. When he opened it, he found that it was not a precious gift, but a box of snacks carefully made by the royal chef.

"Well, you have a heart."

Li Ming didn't dislike it either. He picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it. He had seen many people giving farewell gifts, but this was his first time seeing people giving farewell gifts, which was a bit novel.

Seeing this, Li Zhongyi once again mentioned a jar of wine and said, "I heard that the vice president likes fine wine. Although this jar of fine wine is not a magical wine, it has some vintages. The vice president can quench his thirst on the road."

Li Ming nodded, put the wine jar into the Xumi ring, and then waved his hand to shoot a green light into Li Zhongyi's body.

Courtesy reciprocated, since the other party gave him a gift, he would naturally return the gift. Although his return gift was a bit valuable to Li Zhongyi, who told him to be in a good mood? He just gave it casually.

After Li Ming fired the green light, he ignored the two people who were still in confusion and rode the big black donkey towards the distance.

After a green light flashed over Li Zhongyi's body, his face was radiant, as if he was more than ten years younger. Queen Xia Tian couldn't help but be stunned when she looked at this scene.

"Your Majesty... you..."

Queen Xia Tian quickly took Li Zhongyi's hand and checked it before letting go incredulously. She naturally knew about her husband's body. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was seriously ill. However, at this time, Li Zhongyi's body was extremely healthy. He is healthy and does not look sick at all.

Li Zhongyi looked at the rosy skin in surprise, then raised his hands and saluted Li Ming's back in the distance: "Zhongyi thanked the vice president."
