Pei Yunqiu got off the carriage and just walked into the second courtyard from the side door of the Mingyue Pavilion where the carriage was specially parked, and saw Old Dao Chongqian sitting in the yard, drinking slowly with a bowl of ice drinks. There was a pot of Guifei Hongsu Mountain on the small plan next to him.

Pei Yunqi was stunned, "Senior, why are you here? I heard that you closed the Zongsheng Palace and said you would not leave. Whoever enters the Zongsheng Palace will kill anyone?"

"Gu Shiwu, that guy called me senior brother, don't call me senior, so as not to mess up the seniority." Old Master Chong Qian looked at her surprised look and felt a little proud, "You would never have thought that I was not in Zongsheng Palace after saying such harsh words. Naturally, people in Chang'an City would not have thought of it. If someone wants to deal with you, then forget about me, and you will definitely suffer a big loss."

"Senior brother, your brain is easy to use." Pei Yunqi immediately smiled and flattered.

Her style is different from Gu Shiwu.

When Gu Shiwu saw his senior brother being arrogant and not showing him a good look, he liked to think of ways to harm him, the senior brother. The two seemed to be born with different horoscopes, but Pei Yunqiu was the opposite of him.

She said whatever Master Chongqian likes to hear.

"I don't know what you like about my junior brother." Old Master Chong Qian looked at Pei Yun, but he couldn't help but scold the junior brother who was not in line with his horoscope. "I haven't enjoyed a good life yet, but I have a lot of bad things, which will cause you to suffer."

Pei Yunqi sat down beside him with a smile and said, "That's right, when he comes back, you can teach him a lesson."

The old Taoist Chongqian stopped Gu Shiwu from behind. After drinking the ice water in the bowl, he ate the concubine Hongsushan and said, "How did you make this thing?"

Pei Yunqiu explained with a smile, "This is to heat and melt the milk pastry first, make it into a mountain shape, season it with some honey and soup, and then put it in an ice cellar for freezing. What is more sophisticated is to use some fruit pulp or flower juice to adjust the color."

The old Taoist Chongqian suddenly became depressed.

This method is naturally not difficult, but the difficult thing is that there is no ice cellar in Zongsheng Palace.

There are not many places with ice cellars in Chang'an.

Pei Yunqi immediately smiled again, "Senior brother, you are interested in making this kind of thing, so you don't have to look for other places. The newly built yard of the Fifth Prince has an ice cellar. There is also a kind of ice cheese method that is simpler, but I think it is better than this Sushan Mountain. You just need to mix pulp and juice with milk and put it in ice cellar ice."

Old Taoist Chong Qian frowned, "It will take at least half a year for the Fifth Prince's house to look like it, but the ice cellar has been completed?"

Pei Yunqi was a little proud and said, "I gave the idea to let the fifth prince ask the craftsmen to finish the things they enjoy in the kitchen, ice cellar, and water pavilion. Senior brother, think about it, if the craftsmen who work for him when they are steaming like Chang'an has two or three bowls of ice drinks with black plums every day, they can sleep in the water pavilion for a while at noon and eat well. These craftsmen will work hard naturally. They must all say that he is good. It can't cost a lot of money to make these things in their own ice cellar, but when they go out, they will buy these things, seven or eight copper coins at the cheapest time, and thirty copper coins at the price, and those craftsmen can afford to buy them, but they can't bear to drink them."

Old Taoist Chong Qian was stunned for a moment, looked at Pei Yunshi for a while, and couldn't help but sigh, "What good thing did this dog guy Gu Shiwu do in his previous life? He can actually find a wife like you."

Pei Yunqiu flattered for a long time, but was so excited by the words of Mr. Chong Qian. She couldn't help laughing, "Maybe I owed him a lot of money in my previous life?"

Master Chong Qian smiled rare, took a few more bites with Sushan, and suddenly thought of another question, "I heard that the prince has been officially deposed and wants to be exiled to Qianzhou. Is it necessary to change a prince to be the prince?"

Pei Yunqi nodded and explained, "Unless the emperor is in poor health or has any special incidents, the replacement of the prince will be completed within seven days at the shortest time. However, there is no need for this at the moment. According to the information I have found, the emperor will slowly investigate. According to the convention, it may take at least one and a half years."

Old Taoist Chongqian knocked the basin of Sushan with a spoon and said, "What if the fifth prince has a great reputation in Chang'an because of the ice cellar you asked him to make, if he got the position of prince, how would he thank you?"

Pei Yunqi was stunned, and couldn't help laughing, saying, "Then he had to give Zongsheng Palace two ice cellars, or one ice cellar and one fire cellar stove."

Old Taoist Chong Qian suddenly became curious, "What's the use of a fire furnace?"

Pei Yunqi smiled and said, "It's the kind of big oven made of digging a deep pit on the ground. I don't know how to make it, but it can be used to roast something very large. It can be hung down and roasted in the whole camel and the whole wild donkey. The roasting is very even and very tasty. My father said that he had eaten roast camels made in this way on the Hu people's territory, and the taste was really different. Roasting a lamb or something is too simple."

The old Taoist Chong Qian frowned again, "If the whole thing is hung in and roasted, the firepower is good, but if the heat is covered with cloth, it is good to bake evenly, but if you want to marinate it and taste delicious, it will take too much spices."

Pei Yunxi smiled so hard that his branches were trembling, "I said, senior brother, they all rely on this to become the prince. If they want to be emperor in the future, then we can roast a sheep, a camel, and eat some spices for him?"

Old Taoist Chong Qian was in a good mood and said, "If Gu Shiwu treats you badly in the future, tell me and I will scold him for you."

Pei Yunqi nodded suddenly, and then deliberately said softly, "Senior brother, do you want pepper? I'll get some pepper from Curry, and there are also some fennel."

The old Taoist Chongqian had just hesitated for a moment, and Pei Yunqi had already called someone and quietly told him to get it.

After a while, Master Chong Qian looked at the two cans of spices placed on the plan, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

No wonder people in Chang'an say that Miss Pei Er is amazing. I guess that while she was living in this Mingyue Pavilion, Pei Yunqi became his own family, and Gu Shiwu's dog thing turned into an outsider.

Just as the fifth prince was talking about, the fifth prince was here.

The fifth prince looked sad when he got off the carriage.

However, when he walked in and saw Master Chong Qian eating Sushan slowly, he was also stunned, "Why are you here?"

The old Taoist Chongqian was immediately proud and said, "The real one is real, and the real one is empty. Haven't your teachers taught you?"

The fifth prince said a little admiringly, "This plan is very wonderful. People in Chang'an would never have imagined that after you make such harsh words, the person is not in the Zongsheng Palace. But what if someone really breaks into the Zongsheng Palace? You are not there, then... Isn't that exposed the filling?"

He originally wanted to say that he was not talking big but couldn't do it, but facing the old Taoist Chong Qian who always doesn't like anyone else, he changed his words to his lips.

The old Taoist Chong Qian was very confident, "I asked Hei Tuantuan to make some raccoon slaves squatted around the Zongsheng Palace. If anyone really wants to break into the mountains, Hei Tuantuan can deal with it. If it can't deal with it, remember the taste of that person, would I cut early and late?"

The fifth prince immediately picked his thumbs up, "You are so powerful."

"Why do you look like you can't get a shit?" Pei Yunqi called someone to bring ice drinks. Seeing the fifth prince's frown, he couldn't help but make fun of him.

The fifth prince immediately spitted, "The prince was sent to Qianzhou as the Qingxian King, but I have been summoned to the palace to discuss matters these days."

Pei Yunqi was immediately happy, "Does the emperor really want to make you the prince?"

He nodded to the old Taoist Qian, "It seems that roasted camels have hope."

"What the hell is roasted camel?" The fifth prince looked at Pei Yunqian and Chongqian's old ways and suddenly became even more distressed. "When it comes to business, my father knew that the two groups of people in the Li family were dependent on the Mingyue Pavilion for free for food and drink. What he said to me was that these people have defected to you and Gu Shiwu, so he couldn't control it. Anyway, it would be good not to pay for him to support it. But the matter of Zulong Underground Palace is better not to get involved in the matter, and wait until Gu Shiwu returns to Chang'an. I was thinking about the meaning of what he said to me, and first let the Li family's confidentiality handle his own people to deal with Li Chenshan's direct line, but Li Chenshan's direct line is not that easy to deal with. The most important thing is that Zulong Underground Palace is not that simple."

"What does it mean that Zulong Underground Palace is not that simple?" Pei Yunqi became serious.

The fifth prince whispered softly, "Ancestral Dragon's One Emperor, even if he is unable to live forever, he may at least not want people to destroy his imperial tomb. After the military information about the earth tomb of Famen Temple in Fufeng County was passed to Chang'an, my father couldn't help but think that a great Buddha sect obsession was so big, then what level would the obsession of this emperor and the army who were extremely loyal to him and even willing to be buried with him? Zulong's design was to use the underground palace formation to rebirth. Then his descendants and even later generations destroyed the setting of the underground palace formation. He could not be reborn. Even if his body dissipated, then since this underground palace formation is many times stronger than the magic array arranged by the Nilian Venerable of Famen Temple... If it really causes disasters, what level will this disaster be? This may not be able to compete with human power."

Pei Yunqi frowned and said, "Since the emperor said so, it would definitely not be groundless and speculation out of thin air."

"There are still waves and waves," the fifth prince said depressedly, "The separatist affairs of Nanzhao have not been completed yet, and there is another internal strife in the Li family. Now, this is the case again."

"I worry about this and that, I have some prince's style." Pei Yunqi smiled.

"Don't mention the word "Crown Prince" to me, I will have a headache when I hear it." The fifth prince sighed repeatedly.

"By the way, I'll show you something good." Pei Yunqi suddenly turned his eyes. When she thought of something, she immediately took something out of her sleeve with a smile.

The fifth prince saw that it was a cluster of arrows at first sight. When he saw the silver-gray color, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Isn't this the arrow of the storm arrow?"

"What a broken thing." Mr. Chong Qian knew what the Jingfeng Arrow was, but the Jingfeng Arrow was of no use to eighth-grade monks. Moreover, the arrow was obviously used, and it should have been removed from the broken Jingfeng Arrow wreckage.

But he had just said something contemptuously, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He put down half of Sushan, rolled up his true energy and rolled the arrow in his hand.

hiss……

He took a breath of air in an instant, "A magical power?"

A magical power?

The fifth prince was stunned for a moment. He leaned closer to sense it, and indeed felt that the cluster of arrows contained a powerful breath of magical powers.

How could the arrow of a storm arrow become a magical power?

Old Dao Chong Qian narrowed his eyes slightly and weighed the arrow cluster with a serious face. Seeing Pei Yunshi smiling proudly in his eyes, he also reacted, "Is this a magical object created by some eighth-grade magical power?"

"Can you tell this all at once?" Pei Yunqiu couldn't help but give a thumbs up at Old Dao Chong Qian.

"Is there another eighth-grade cultivator in the city?" Old Taoist Chong Qian looked at Pei Yunqian, and his shock naturally rose like the mist on the river surface in the early morning.

Pei Yun nodded.

He immediately added, "This eighth grade can give me magical objects, but he doesn't ask about the disputes in the world, so don't ask who this eighth grade is, and don't check it."

How smart the fifth prince was, he immediately guessed that it was Chen Tu.

But Chen Tu suddenly achieved the eighth grade, but he couldn't believe it.

After a moment of stammering, he nodded and said, "I just think I don't know about this."

Master Chong Qian slowly handed the arrows in his hand back to Pei Yunqian.

He stopped talking, picked up the crispy mountain and started to eat it.

After coming to Mingyue Train Pavilion, He Haixin had roughly told him why Mingyue Train Pavilion and Li's confidentiality became so incompatible.

When He Haixin told him about the idea of ​​Li Chenshan and Li Chenshan's direct descendants, while he was drinking the bowl of ice drink, he couldn't help but think of what his senior brother said to him in the Zongsheng Palace many years ago.

His senior brother was holding an amazingly valuable imperial glass jar, but he just caught some fireflies and watched and played with them. Then he said to him, "Junior brother, do you know that the world of practitioners will die one day."

He felt very strange and asked why.

His senior brother said, "It is a kind of intuition. Everything in this world has a natural law. Look at the most powerful creatures in this world will always slowly disappear after their prosperity. It seems that when a group swallows all their luck, they will naturally weaken. Those giant beasts and dragons are the same. I feel that the practitioners will also do this."

Chongqian was not an old Taoist priest at that time. He didn't feel much about what his senior brother said. He even felt that his senior brother had something else in his heart at that time and said casually.

However, as time goes by, as he grows older, as he sees more and more things, and as his cultivation reaches the top ranks in the world, he also feels the same.

Entering such a prosperous era, no matter what the giant in Li's confidentiality had, in the past few decades, the Tang Dynasty did not deliberately restrict the world of practitioners. On the contrary, the number of practice places and practitioners has increased.

However, the energy in the entire world of practitioners does not seem to have increased.

The number of eight-level practitioners has been decreasing year by year.

In the prosperous era of the world of practitioners, even in the troubled times, it seems that there are always many powerful eight-grade masters who have disappeared in the world, and then they will be born quietly. The luck seems to be able to quietly maintain balance.

But starting from the end of the Sui Dynasty, such a balance seemed to be broken again and again.

Last year, when Wang Yehu and Lin Fu left the world, many eighth-grade monks, Goryeo, and Tianzhu, disappeared in the world... Then the number of eighth-grade monks has been lower and lower.

It seemed that the fortune that originally belonged to the world of cultivators gradually became the literary talent of this prosperous Tang Dynasty, the talents of those craftsmen, and the wealth of merchants in the prosperous times and the glory of glazed tiles.

Except for his junior brother Gu Shiwu, a monster born that seemed to burn out the luck of the entire depravity view, sooner or later entered the eighth level, the entire world of the practitioner seemed to be very quiet, but now, the eighth level that appeared silently gave him a strange feeling.

The world of practitioners may eventually disappear, but it will not be now.

...

The morning sun has climbed to the top of the city and splashed the golden light on the heroic city on the border of Liaodong. The mist has dissipated, and the whole picture of Daxing City is clearly displayed under the sky light. The blue-gray city walls are coated with a layer of warm color, and there are several stubborn weeds crawling between the cracks of bricks and stones, swaying gently in the morning breeze. The flags on the arrow tower are stretched, the flags are illuminated, and the black "Tang" character appears and disappears in the wind.
