Tao and Heaven

Chapter 23 Lost and Found

Under Gu Wen's urging, the eel was quickly pulled out.

Gu Wen touched the eel's corpse with his hand, and the vibrations in the fate were large and small. The tail was the weakest, and the closer to the head, the more intense it became. From this, it can be judged that the treasure is in the head.

The thing that can make Emperor Jiang restless may be the legendary demon pill, or it may be some kind of treasure.

After all, according to what Yu Hua said, Daqian has a time limit. Maybe this yellow eel is a big monster in the outside world, and it took advantage of it here.

If this is true, it would be like a windfall!
Gu Wen picked up the knife and cut open the scales on the head. When he was three feet into the flesh, he hit a hard object with a clang. It was the skull.

At this time, Jiang Fugui, who was sent out to monitor the movements of the palace's men, ran back and said, "Master, Feng Daban has arrived with dozens of palace guards."

"No matter what method you use to hold them back for me."

Gu Wen could not hide his anger at this moment. Jiang Fugui ran away, and the surrounding watermen smashed the eel's head with all their might. The bone was broken but not completely opened.

Seeing that it was too late, Gu Wen asked someone to pry open the eel's mouth. He leaned half of his body in and used a knife to cut open the jaw. After a few cuts, the cartilage was cut open. When he took out his hand, a fishy and sticky liquid dripped onto his face.

'Almost there, right inside, just a little bit more!'

The vibration of the destiny became more and more intense. Suddenly, the fingertips touched a hard object, and the Emperor's juice rolled. Just like the initial enlightenment given to him by the Heavenly Marrow, the Emperor's juice surged like a river.

【All living things are created by nature. All ten kinds of people have three fates: Heavenly Fate, Earthly Fate, and Human Fate. Heavenly Fate is innate, and it is impossible to be strong. Earthly Fate is continuous, and the creatures born after death depend on the earth to live. The Great Dao is endless. Human life is short-lived, and the Great Dao is ignorant.】

Among the three elements of heaven, earth and man, the Emperor's juice is the life of the earth.

The destiny of the earth encompasses countless things, just as the enlightenment of the heavenly essence cannot express even one part of it in thousands of words. Relying on the things he touches, it is enough to reveal one ten-millionth of it.

Magical treasures, tools, weapons, golden elixirs, demon elixirs and other things that use external objects to carry power.

【Blue Eyes Water Pearls】

"What are you doing!"

A sharp voice was heard, and before Gu Wen could even take the treasure, he was dragged out by the palace guards.

Eunuch Feng looked down at Gu Wen and asked, "What is Lord Wen doing here in His Highness's auspicious sign? If you ruin the auspicious sign, can you bear the consequences?"

It sounds like the quacking of a duck and is always extremely sarcastic.

Damn eunuch! All the good things in the world have been taken by your Zhao family!
A hint of coldness flashed across Gu Wen's eyes, and countless thoughts of killing people surged through his mind. He only needed to reach out and strike with the knife to kill the eunuch.

He cupped his hands and said, "A priceless jade ring was swallowed by a snake monster, and I want to get it back."

My faith is as firm as a rock. The treasure is worth more than what I have obtained. Moreover, it is not impossible to steal it back even if I lose it.

They might not be able to discover it, and Gu Wen also believed that the palace's security would allow him to operate.

Feng Xiang looked at Gu Wen with disdain, then pinched his fingers and said, "Marquis Wen, you don't have to pay respect to me, your servant. I can't bear it. Although the imperial edict will take some time to arrive, you are no longer a commoner."

Although he despised Gu Wen, he strictly observed etiquette and respected the superiors and subordinates.

"I will take this auspicious sign with me. Your Highness is anxious to present it to the immortals. If I find your treasure, I will naturally have someone send it to you."

"Yes."

Gu Wen stepped aside and watched the eel being carried away by dozens of people. He could only instruct his subordinates to spread the word that there was really a dragon in Longquan Well.

Moving such a large eel out would surely cause a sensation, at least it would make him some money. He was spending money like water right now, so he urgently needed to make up for it with a little money.

An hour later, half of Bianjing knew that the Ninth Prince had killed a dragon and returned. It was destiny!
Wangfu.

Zhao Feng was overjoyed when he saw the eel that was more than ten meters long. He clapped his hands and said, "Wait for me to ask the immortal for instructions."

"Your Highness." At this time, a guest official from an aristocratic family stood up and said, "This is a good omen from the Emperor's feet. I think we should send it to the palace first. If His Majesty is pleased, he might appoint you as the crown prince."

The surrounding guests all agreed. In their opinion, pleasing the emperor was the most important thing.

The Ninth Prince is now a little crazy, and is bewitched by a foreign woman.

"The king and the saint are connected as father and son. Your Majesty will support me."

Zhao Feng smiled slightly, as if he was truly favored by the emperor and he could understand the current emperor's thoughts.

What do these mortals know? As long as they get the favor of Fairy Yu Hua, the position of crown prince will be easily obtained. He even thinks that the throne of Daqian is not that good, compared with the Taoist goddess who "all laws in the world come from the Three Pure Ones".

Before leaving, Zhao Feng did not forget to ask his maid to dress him up, with rouge and powder, sachets and jade pendants, and a feather scarf on his head, looking like a handsome gentleman.

Everyone was stunned. Although they were born into wealthy families and paid attention to their image, only the young man in the aunt's house could dress so exquisitely.

Zhao Feng arrived in front of the courtyard he had been thinking about, and a donkey blocked his way. He bowed and said, "Junior has something to ask for the fairy."

"what's up?"

"The Three Pure Ones' search for immortality has finally come to fruition."

"Speak." "I have to see the fairy."

Zhao Feng, who came prepared, was very tough this time. He had been coerced by the other party for so long, and Yu Hua had never seen him in private. It was unknown whether Yu Hua had read the letter he had paid a high price to write.

"Then you just wait here, I'll go call Yu Hua."

Since it was about the elixir of immortality, the donkey did not blackmail Zhao Feng this time. Instead, he turned around and ran into the courtyard, and ran out again after about a minute.

"Yu Hua sees you."

The four words "simple answer" almost made Zhao Feng jump up. He walked into the yard in two steps. It was obviously just a small villa in the palace that no one lived in in the past, but for some reason, just entering here made him feel excited.

A graceful figure in white walked out of the house. Zhao Feng felt a little regretful that he could not enter the fairy's house, although he roughly knew the layout.

"take me."

Yu Hua’s words are concise and to the point.

A month later, Yu Hua walked out of the villa again. The incessant chirping of ducks beside her made her feel upset. She couldn't help but think of an ordinary figure like a deep pool.

If it were him, he wouldn't be so long-winded. Instead, he would require me to figure it out over and over again.

Seeing the yellow eel, Yu Hua's eyes lit up slightly. He walked forward and touched it with his hand, and asked, "Where did you find it?"

Zhao Feng replied, "The fairy's request kept me awake day and night, so today I went to Longquan Well on a whim, and happened to run into this evildoer. So I took up my sword and mounted my horse, and after a fierce battle I finally captured this evildoer."

It was sent by Gu Wen.

Yu Hua's heart moved slightly, and he pursed his lips and said, "You did a good job. You don't have to do it yourself in the future."

This will also help him avoid always taking credit for other people's achievements, which should have belonged to Gu Wen.

Things in the world are unreasonable and injustice is the norm, but at least Yu Hua will try his best to seek justice.

Although the world is full of troubles, we should just keep our original heart.

Zhao Feng felt as if he had been blessed by heaven, and he suddenly felt elated.

The fairy cares about me!

Yu Hua no longer paid any attention to Zhao Feng. He raised his hand and a flash of light flew out from the eel's head. No one saw what it was and Yu Hua put it into his sleeve.
-
night.

Gu Wen sat cross-legged on the ground, his killing intent growing stronger, and he already had some ideas on how to get in touch with the snake monster's body. He had left some secret agents in the palace and bribed some people, but it would cost more money.

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Although he is a businessman, he may be able to touch the prince's mansion. This is not just about money, but also the collapse of the power and status structure. Only in troubled times will people not care about their identities. When troubled times are approaching, everyone gradually begins to no longer recognize the sacredness of the Zhao family's imperial power.

From the information he currently has, he knows that the Zhao family has gradually lost control of the counties and prefectures throughout the country, and the increasingly frequent rebellions and suppression of rebellions are about to exceed the court's ability. In the next step, the Zhao family will, like most dynasties in the past, delegate military power to the local aristocratic families to suppress the rebellion.

With military power, the aristocratic families began to grab land, making it more difficult to collect taxes. Without tax revenue, the court became weaker.

This is called dynastic cyclicality.

One day, the inner treasury will be reduced to ashes, and the streets will be trampled with bones of officials and nobles!
He only needs to quietly gnaw on Daqian's corpse, and when his wings are fully grown, he can sweep the world with great momentum.

If you can’t become immortal by lying down, then stand up.

He entered into meditation and practiced for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes.

There was a faint smell coming from outside the door.

He looked wary, thinking it might be Yu Hua, but he still picked up the stick beside the bed.

Under the moonlight, Yu Hua looked like the fairy Guanghan walking on the moon. When she reached the door and was about to knock, she felt a murderous thought coming from her.

The inner storehouse was burned to ashes, and the streets were trampled with the bones of the nobles.
She showed surprise and pursed her lips. Just these few words made her see the chaotic scene of prosperity turning into ashes and wealth becoming a bubble.

The songs and dances that came to my ears on the wind sounded like the foreplay of the coming chaos and made me shudder.

This descendant of the Gu family spoke little, but every word he said was so shocking, no wonder he was able to build the Dao in four days.

dong dong dong.

"it's me."

Gu Wen opened the door with a gun, Yu Hua stretched out her soft hand, the moonlight crawled into the house along her jade fingers, and a green bead lay quietly in her palm.

Her voice was as calm and elegant as ever, but it had a hint of lightness to it, making people unconsciously feel that there was a smile behind the veil.

"This is your bead, a magical treasure."

It’s over, it’s over. I’m going to become a bastard like Zhao Feng.
