Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 380 Five Elements Bead

Yuan Tiangang noticed Wang Mang's expression: "Why, have you seen this kind of beads?"

Wang Mang nodded: "I once got a green bead."

As he spoke, Wang Mang took out a green bead from his bosom.

Yuan Tiangang laughed: "Sure enough, it's a wooden bead. Have you found out what it does?"

Wang Mang said: "The water it soaks in is good for the human body, and if you take it for a long time, it will be easier to gather internal energy when practicing."

Yuan Tiangang nodded: "Yes, these Five Elements Beads are very magical things. Do you know why my appearance has not changed in these years?"

Wang Mang suddenly raised his head: "Could it be..."

Yuan Tiangang nodded: "That's right, it's the effect of the Water Bead. It can keep the appearance from changing a lot, but it can't prolong the life span. According to my guess, the only way to live longer is to gather all the five elements!"

Wang Mang asked, "Then why don't you go find the Five Elements Pearl?"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head: "The world is so big, where can I find it?"

Wang Mang said, "Then what does this have to do with your taking over the world?"

"Cough cough!"

Suddenly, Yuan Tiangang coughed, and he smiled: "But when I found the Water Bead, I discovered a secret, that is, to nourish the Water Bead with the luck of the country, the other beads will appear!"

Wang Mang shook his head: "How is this possible?"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head slightly: "I found this in Xu Fu's tomb during the Qin Dynasty."

Wang Mang was taken aback: "Is it the legendary Xu Fu who made alchemy for Qin Shihuang?"

Yuan Tiangang nodded: "Exactly. In fact, I learned most of my skills from Xu Fuling's tomb."

"In his mausoleum, there is one thing recorded, that is, he used Qin Guoyun to nourish the Water Element Bead, showing the location of other Five Element Beads.

Later, all the other beads had been collected, but the Fire Beads were not in the Central Plains, but in Fusang at that time, which is now Dongying. This is how Xu Fu Dongdu happened. "

Wang Mang nodded: "So that's the case, did he find the Fire Element Pearl?"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head: "I don't know either. His records didn't say that, it just said that Qin Shihuang would not let him go."

Wang Mang shook his head slightly: "Qin Shihuang didn't live forever, and Xu Fu didn't live long either. Do you believe in such things?"

Suddenly, Yuan Tiangang said: "You know, people will grab everything they can when they are dying! Do you know how old I am now?"

Wang Mang didn't speak. To be honest, he was quite curious.

Yuan Tiangang said: "I have already entered the court during the Emperor Taizong's time. Counting, I am already two out of a hundred."

Wang Mang was taken aback: "What!"

Yuan Tiangang nodded slightly: "Shuixingzhu is amazing, so I have always believed that there is a way to live longer."

Wang Mang asked, "Then how do you look?"

Yuan Tiangang smiled wryly: "It may be that too many secrets have been leaked!"

Wang Mang sighed and did not speak.

Yuan Tiangang raised the Water Bead in his hand: "Do you dare to ask for it?"

Wang Mang was stunned.

Yuan Tiangang said: "Once you have this thing, I believe you will still go my way."

Wang Mang didn't speak, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, Yuan Tiangang picked up the poisoned wine and drank it down. He looked at Wang Mang and said with a smile: "I have thought about many ways to die, but I never thought I would die like this."

"Whether you want this bead or not, you just have to remember that I am not the only one who knows this secret."

Wang Mang raised his head: "Owners of the other three beads?"

Yuan Tiangang nodded: "I only know that one of them is in Jiangzhou, and I don't know about the others."

Having said that, his face slowly turned black.

Wang Mang asked, "Who else is there?"

Yuan Tiangang's weak voice came out: "The hermit sect and the descendants of Xu Fu all have them, but, yes, maybe..."

Yuan Tiangang's hand came down, and the water beads rolled to the ground. Wang Mang sighed, bowed slightly to Yuan Tiangang's body, and picked up the water beads.

After a long silence, Wang Mang put the two beads away.

Walked out of the room slowly.

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang were chatting outside.

Seeing Wang Mang coming out, Di Renjie said, "Yuan Tiangang asked you to send him off for the last time, what did he say?"

Wang Mang sighed: "It's nothing, just chatting casually."

Seeing that Wang Mang was in a bad mood, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

Suddenly, Li Yuanfang asked: "My lord, you just said that we are going to leave the palace temporarily, why?"

"what?"

Wang Mang was startled.

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes! I know the emperor very well. He won't trust anyone, including you and Jing Yang."

Li Yuanfang frowned: "You mean? She will..."

Di Renjie smiled: "Let's leave by ourselves!"

Wang Mang said, "My lord, what about me?"

Di Renjie said: "Jing Yang, I'm afraid you are special. As long as you can take care of your body for the emperor, you may be able to rest easy for the time being!"

Wang Mang sighed: "My lord, I understand what you mean. As long as one day I can't take good care of the emperor, I'm afraid I will leave too."

Di Renjie smiled, but did not speak.

……

Shangyang Palace, in the imperial garden.

Wu Zetian was quietly looking at the scenery in the garden in the gazebo.

"Your Majesty, Elder Zhang Ge is waiting in the garden, saying that he has something important to announce!"

Suddenly, a female officer ran in.

Wu Zetian turned around: "Call!"

Soon, Zhang Jianzhi walked in: "Your Majesty!"

"Admonition, what is so important?"

Wu Zetian asked.

Zhang Jianzhi bowed and said: "This morning, Luantai received a memorial from Lord Di Renjie, in which he said that he was suffering from a serious illness and could not work hard.

Therefore, please Your Majesty to allow him to resign from the post of internal history.He begged for the bones and took his family back to the field for the elderly. The memorial also said that his subordinate Li Yuanfang also proposed to the Weifu to resign from the post of Qianniuwei Zhonglang because he could not bear to be separated from him, and went to the countryside with him. "

"old man!"

Wu Zetian was thoughtful.

Zhang Jianzhi said: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is very strange. A few days ago, I met Mr. Di. His body was still very strong. How could he be infected with serious illness in less than two days? What's even more strange is that As the Prime Minister, how could Di Gong beg His Majesty for his bones because of an accidental illness, and take his family back to the fields for the elderly? There must be something strange here!"

Wu Zetian asked back: "Admonition, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Zhang Jianzhi said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Di is a man of beams and pillars, and he is in charge of the Zhongshu, so His Majesty relies on him as his heart.

The absence of him in the court will not only affect the daily handling of court affairs, but more worryingly, it may also trigger partisan disputes.

Therefore, Your Majesty, I think it is not allowed to return to the field! "

Wu Zetian took a deep breath, turned around slowly, and started pacing.

Zhang Jianzhi quickly followed: "Your Majesty..."

Suddenly, Wu Zetian stopped in his tracks: "Quasi."

Zhang Jianzhi was stunned immediately: "What, what? Your Majesty, this matter involves the stability of the court, please think twice!"

Wu Zetian turned around: "Do you think I want to lose Di Huaiying?"

Zhang Jianzhi was stunned: "Yes, yes..."

Wu Zetian sighed and said: "He knows me too well, he is retreating to ask me for peace of mind!"
