Cultivating immortality is going against the grain

Luo Mingming walked up to Hui Dabao, patted him hard on the shoulder, and sighed, "Good boy...I haven't seen you for three years, and my body has grown taller and stronger!"

Hui Dabao saw that Luo Mingming had significantly more white hair on his head, and said worriedly, "Uncle...you have so many white hairs. You should pay attention to your health!"

Luo Mingming smiled and said, "Haha... I'm getting old... By the way, when did you come back, Dabao?"

He waved his treasure and said, "I came back by boat the day before yesterday..."

"Oh..." Luo Mingming stroked his beard and nodded, as if he had something to say.

Hui Dabao knew that he wanted to ask Xue'er, so he said, "Xue'er is practicing hard in Yangyun Mountain and can't come back to see you for a while... She is living a good life in Yangyun Mountain. You don't have to worry. Maybe, after some time, she will Just come back!"

The frustration on Luo Mingming's face flashed away, and he sighed, "Okay... okay, cultivation is more important..."

Hui Dabao said, "Uncle Luo... Xue'er is not here, I will come to see you often in the future... Hehe!"

Luo Mingming opened his eyes wide and said, "What?...Come to see me often? Are you not going back to Yangyun Mountain?"

Hui Dabao nodded.

Luo Mingming said, "Do you have any plans... Come and talk to your uncle... By the way, you haven't had breakfast yet, right?"

He waved Dabao and said, "I'm... not hungry!"

Luo Mingming said, "Why are you hungry? Go have breakfast with your uncle and have a good chat!"

Hui Dabao followed Luo Mingming to the first hall. The table in the hall had already been set with porridge, pastries, steamed buns, cold dishes, etc.

The two sat down and waved their treasures to first serve Luo Mingming a bowl of white porridge, and then serve himself a bowl.

Luo Mingming picked up the chopsticks and said, "Dabao, eat quickly, don't let it get cold!"

"Yeah!" Hui Dabao nodded.

Luo Mingming picked up a bun, took a bite, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, not bad, this is the best appetite I've had in the past few days. I've been so upset these past two days that I don't even have the appetite to eat!"

Hui Dabao said, "Uncle, official matters are complicated, don't take it too seriously..."

Luo Mingming said, "I don't want to either...but..."

Before he finished speaking, a servant came from outside the house and said, "Sir, Prince Zigu's Mansion has sent you some ginseng. Would you like to go over and take a look!"

Luo Mingming smiled bitterly and said, "Look...can you not be upset...I won't even let Ansheng eat!"

"What are you looking at! Return the ginseng...you can't accept anything from the palace. Also, select some Southern Xinjiang snow lotus from the library to give back to the palace!"

The servant responded, "Okay, sir!"

After the servants left, Luo Mingming seemed to have lost his appetite, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and kept sighing.

Hui Dabao said doubtfully, "Uncle, Prince Zigu sent some ginseng, why are you so worried?"

Luo Mingming sighed, "It would be easy if I just gave you some ginseng... but King Zigu has other plans!"

He waved his treasure and asked, "Other plans? Does he want to win over you, uncle?"

Luo Mingming looked at Hui Dabao and smiled, "Dabao, you have grown up..."

Hui Dabao scratched his head and said, "No...no, I heard it all from the play...Uncle, shouldn't King Zigu stay in Zigu Prefecture? Why did he come to Yueyang Prefecture?"

Luo Mingming said, "Ziguzhou is his cage...how can he stay there...he will definitely escape if he has the chance..."

Hui Dabao scratched his head and said, "I don't understand..."

Luo Mingming was silent for a moment and said, "Dabao, you are not young anymore anyway, so you should know more about things... It will also be good for you. Let me tell you, do you know the origin of this Zigu King?"

Hui Dabao said, "You know something...isn't he the prince? His name seems to be Nangong...Wu!"

Luo Mingming said, "Yes...then do you know where Ziguzhou is?"

Hui Dabao said, "Zigu Prefecture is in the northwest of the Dongyi Empire. It seems to be a basin plain... I heard that the fruits there are quite delicious..."

Luo Mingming stroked his beard and said, "Yes...Ziguzhou is rich in fruits and grains. It can be said to be a fertile place. However, it has a fatal flaw in the military..."

He waved Dabao and asked, "What's the fatal flaw?"

Luo Mingming said, "Zigu Prefecture is a basin plain, with Xinzhou Prefecture in the north, Zangping Prefecture in the west, Sichuan West Prefecture in the east, and endless desert on the south side. It can be said that Zigu Prefecture has highlands on three sides, and one In a desperate situation, no matter which direction we attack from, Ziguzhou is difficult to defend, so this place is a natural prison!"

Hui Dabao said, "Ah... So that's it... The imperial court sealed Nangong Wu here to trap him!"

Luo Mingming said, "That's right... Nangong Wu was originally the prince, but he was deposed by the former emperor and sealed to Zigugu Province. On the surface, it gave him a rich and fertile land to enjoy the blessings, but in fact, it also trapped him. …Originally, if King Zigu could live in peace, Zigu Prefecture would indeed be a blessed place, but it’s a pity…”

Hui Dabao was surprised and said, "Is it possible that King Zigu is not willing to be the vassal king..."

Luo Mingming said, "King Zigu has been the prince for more than ten years... he has tasted the smell of power, how can he give up so easily? Besides, he is not a person who is willing to rely on others..."

Hui Dabao said, "But... the vassal king cannot leave the fiefdom without the court's decree. How could he come to Yueyang State?"

Luo Mingming said, "It wasn't because of the fire three years ago..."

Hui Dabao was surprised and said, "The fire three years ago...could it be Longchang Academy?"

Luo Mingming said, "That's right!"

Hui Dabao was completely stunned... What does this have to do with preaching and hearing?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through him, and he remembered that Bu Wendao came from Kyoto, and he heard that he had been a prince fu...

Is it...

Luo Mingming continued, "Bu Fuzi from Longchang Academy is Prince Fu... He has been Nangong Wu's teacher for more than [-] years, and he and Bu Fuzi are like father and son. However, the inexplicable fire caused Bu Fuzi to fall, and Prince Zigu He issued a proclamation, saying that Bu Fuzi was killed by a traitor and wanted to avenge his master, so he led his troops to Yueyang Prefecture, and then... Humph! "

"Uncle...will the court not care if he leaves the fiefdom without permission?"

Luo Mingming said, "If King Zigu leaves the fiefdom for other reasons, the court will definitely ask questions. However, King Zigu is in the name of revenge for his master. In the Dongyi Empire, a place where red tape and etiquette prevail, the wife of his father and master is... Righteousness, King Zigu has reached the high point of righteousness. If the court interferes more, it may lose people's hearts, and it may even give someone sufficient reason to do treasonous and unethical things..."

it is as expected…

Hui Dabao fell into deep thought. He thought that when the ghost-faced man came to kill Buwendao, he thought it was because of Buwendao's identity as a monster. However, from their conversation, it was revealed that the ghost-faced man had already revealed the real Buwendao. Killed, but, by mistake, the high priest of the demon race finally parasitized Bu Wendao and was reborn...

Looking back at this moment, there is a person vaguely hidden behind the death of the sermon...that person is King Zigu!

Hui Dabao's whole body was shaken. Could it be that the ghost-faced man belonged to King Zigu?

Could it be that King Zigu was the ultimate murderer of Lao Hui!

Hui Dabao grasped the corners of his pants, feeling very excited...

However, he soon calmed down. It was all his guess now, and there was no concrete evidence yet. Besides, King Zigu’s identity was unusual, so he needed to take a long-term approach...
