In the middle of the night, the middle-aged woman walked quietly in a corridor in the Jingwang Mansion.
The corridor is located in the heart of the Jingwang Mansion, next to it is a quiet small lake.
When the starlight approached the top of the corridor, it quietly turned into substance and turned into sausages, just like countless fireflies flying on the top of the corridor.
Every piece of wood in the corridor, whether it is the supporting cylinder or the tiny purlin, releases a kind of mist.
Since the middle-aged woman entered the corridor, these mists seemed to be chasing her shadow. When she walked through the corridor and entered the quiet courtyard, the blue mist in the corridor turned into a long strip, like a green dragon.
This courtyard is about the same size as the small courtyard that Pei Yunqi recaptured in Pei's Mansion, but there are also two very old cherry blossom trees inside. The branches of these two cherry blossom trees cover the sky, and a two-story wooden building below seems to be always covered in the shadows.
The middle-aged woman pushed open the hidden door and walked in.
The yard where she and Gu Liubai were staying while eating oil cakes was empty and there was nothing unnecessary, but this small wooden building was completely opposite. Both floors looked like grocery stores, and it was the kind of grocery store filled with countless things.
Even if the second floor is a bedroom, there is a bed on the side facing the wall, there is a long desk in front of the bed, a few shelves on the walls, and the low tables beside the bed are filled with things.
All kinds of wood, all kinds of handmade things.
At this time, there was a piece of log in front of the desk, just like many ordinary people who used to chop wood. However, this piece of log was like the wood in the corridor outside, and it also emitted a blue vitality. Moreover, the vitality emitted by this piece of log was even more intense, and many starlights continued to gather, like silver scrambles floating in it.
The middle-aged woman took a dress, as if she was going to wash up, then changed her clothes and went to bed, but at this moment, she heard someone knocking on the door.
She walked downstairs with a expressionless face, opened the door, and saw Li Ying standing under the shadow of the tree.
Li Ying glanced at her and said nothing.
The middle-aged woman said unhappy, "Are you so idle in the middle of the night?"
Li Ying looked at her calmly and said, "I'm not very idle."
The middle-aged woman sneered, "Don't disturb me when I'm sleeping."
Li Ying didn't look displeased at all, but said seriously, "It's not your ability to sneak out at certain specific times, but Uncle Cheng and others think that this will not have an adverse impact on your psychology, but you should be very clear that you can't eat those things."
Li Ying was naturally one of the smartest people in Li's confidentiality, but the middle-aged woman looked at him like an idiot, "Do you think I don't know what you said?"
Li Ying was helpless and said, "Then why are you doing this on purpose?"
The middle-aged woman sarcastically said, " Staying up late can easily die early, indulging in lust can easily reduce longevity, doing bad things can easily make you unable to sleep, greed can easily get unsatisfied and become depressed, eating too much, eating too much can easily get sick, eating too much can easily die early, and being too diligent can easily get tired... Who doesn't know these principles, but how many people in Chang'an City don't have these problems at all? You are not very smart, why are you staying up late?"
Li Ying looked at her and said seriously, "The vast majority of people in Chang'an City have no relationship with me if they have a long life."
The middle-aged woman sneered, "If I want me to control all the desires in my heart, then I won't hang it tonight. What do you want to do have to do with me."
Li Ying frowned slightly and said, "You may have misunderstood what I mean. I'm not saying you can't go out for some breath. I just want to tell you that sometimes you do it and don't be that obvious. Also, don't eat too much of those things. There are at least some things you like to do in this world, so don't have to kill yourself."
The middle-aged woman gave him a blank look and said, "Li Ying, I don't think you mean anything else, you just want to find an opportunity to talk to me, right?"
Li Ying's face was still motionless, but her heart was tight.
The middle-aged woman was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she turned around and closed the door and went to wash with her clothes in her arms.
Li Ying slowly turned around and walked out of the yard, sighed silently, and felt guilty at the same time.
...
The next morning, Gu Liubai, who had a sick-looking face, mysteriously took out a green leaf when he saw Hu Lao San and asked, "Brother Hu, what is this?"
The leaves look like a willow leaf, but they are thicker than willow leaves, green and translucent, and look like they are carved from jade.
But it is not hard and very soft.
It is just a leaf, but it seems that it has not changed after being left for a long time.
Gu Liubai had never seen such a leaf before, and he thought it was very strange.
Hu Laosan didn't have to look closely and said in surprise, "Boss, I haven't seen this thing before, but it has the breath of a real dragon. Where did you come from?"
"Why can't I feel the breath of the real dragon?" Gu Liubai felt it carefully, but he could not notice anything strange.
Hu Laosan grinned and said, "Boss, that's the true qi method I practiced differently from yours, I can feel it all at once."
What true qi method can instantly sense the breath of a true dragon?
Anyway, my Hu Bo has a big problem.
Gu Liubai was used to it now, and just explained, "It was given to me by the middle-aged aunt who secretly left her to eat in Prince Jing's mansion. No matter who she is, she is quite generous."
Hu Laosan couldn't stop laughing, "Why do you feel like you can eat soft food everywhere?"
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "Brother Hu, don't worry about my soft rice everywhere, just say whether this soft rice is good."
Hu Laosan nodded repeatedly and said, "The owner's food is really good. This leaf is definitely not an ordinary thing. Only things raised by the real dragon's magical power can carry this true dragon aura."
Gu Liubai became serious and said softly, "Uncle Hu, I came back last night to think about whether the middle-aged aunt would see that I was weak in my blood recently, so she gave me this thing. Will this thing have this effect?"
Hu Laosan also became serious and said a little worriedly, "Boss, as long as you have the breath of a real dragon, you have formed magical powers. Even if you can eat them, you may not dare to try them easily. Ordinary monks may not be able to bear it. Then when the middle-aged aunt gave you this thing, did you have no prompt?"
Gu Liubai said, "Just let me take it with you, saying that if I go to Fufeng to fight, it may be useful."
Hu Laosan hesitated, "Our family, it doesn't mean it's food. Anyway, it's not an ordinary thing, so you can bring it with you first."
Gu Liubai refused to give up and said, "Brother Hu, you didn't say that the true qi method you practiced can sense the breath of a true dragon. Then can you feel how this thing was raised?"
"That won't be true, I don't have such great ability." Hu Laosan waved his hand repeatedly and said ashamed: "I can't even sense any magical powers that the real dragon aura brings. If it were Luang Po, he might still sense some magical powers."
Gu Liubai immediately felt aroused in his heart and asked, "Bo Hu, who do you think is good at Luang Po or Master Xuan Qing?"
Hu Laosan immediately smiled again, "How could I know this? We are just like a little kid. She and Master Xuanqing are like two adults. We little kids don't know the strength of the adults, but who knows who is better when two similar adults fight? Moreover, Master Xuanqing doesn't fight with others, how can we tell the difference between them?"
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "That would be right for Luang Po to compete with Master Xuanqing anyway."
"It is definitely possible to compare." Hu Laosan and Gu Liubai walked into a room in Mingyue Pavilion. There was not even a window in the room. The four walls were covered with iron plates, and some runes were carved on them. At this time, mercury was flowing in the runes. Although these boards were all vertical and even embedded on the roof, the silver mercury inside was firmly bound in the runes by a strange force. When it flowed, it did not fall off.
There was a stone trough on the table in the center of the room. Inside the stone trough was black dragon heart oil. Gu Liubai's wind knife was soaked in the dragon heart oil at this time.
Next to the stone trough is an anvil for iron making.
"Boss, then let's start?"
Hu Laosan asked, and when he saw Gu Liubai nodding, Hu Laosan directly used a pair of simple and unpretentious long wooden chopsticks to pick up the wind knife from Longxin Oil.
After placing the wind knife on the anvil, he took out a bronze box from his arms and slowly opened it.
The bronze box is filled with tiny square seals, with a total of hundreds of them.
He took out dozens of square seals, arranged them in order, and then carefully checked them. After confirming that they were correct, he kept picking up several square seals with his left and right hands, and kept knocking on the wind knife with his true energy.
With his unique rhythmic knock, a layer of ripples visible to the naked eye appeared on the side of the square seal, and his vitality continued to stir, but shiny and simple runes appeared on the blade.
Gu Liubai was already accustomed to it. When Hu Laosan shouted softly, he pinched a seal with his left hand. When the true energy was stimulated, a wisp of blood gathered a large amount of true energy and fell on the blade.
Hu Laosan flapped his hands continuously, and this strand of essence and blood instantly dyed many ancient runes red. In a blink of an eye, these runes were hidden in the blade.
After repeating this dozens of times, Gu Liubai's face became paler and then, and Hu Laosan breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved. He stopped and put the wind knife into Longxin Oil with chopsticks.
The moment I put it in, the dragon heart oil seemed to come alive. The dragon heart oil in the stone trough formed a vortex, and strange forces continued to gather towards the wind knife like a living thing.
This refining has lasted for many days, but Gu Liubai has a clear perception this time. He feels that the qi in his body has a wonderful connection with the wind knife. There seems to be some breeze flowing between him and the wind knife.
"Hu Bo, today is a little different from before." He immediately screamed in surprise.
