Taoist companions help me live forever

As winter turns to spring, the old locust tree at the entrance of the village sprouts new buds.

I leisurely looked into the distance and began to miss my life in the palace.

The rural scenery of the mountain village was beautiful, but it was okay for a short stay. As time went by, he felt a little boring.

Ma De, I have been cultivating fields for half my life in the world of immortality, but I am still living in the fields in the world of mortals, so am I here in vain?

Moreover, the people living here are ordinary villagers, struggling for three meals a day, and their lives are filled with calculations about daily necessities.

When the weather gets better, the villagers have to go out to work. The whole Gujia Village looks particularly deserted with chickens crowing and dogs barking.

No one can provide some new interest in his boring life.

He wants to listen to ditties, he wants to see singing and dancing, he misses the chefs in the palace, and Doctor Huang’s medicinal wine...

There is so little entertainment here.

"Damn the Lin family, I've already cleared the land for you. If you want to take action, you should hurry up."

Yu Xian sighed, thinking that King Fu was worthy of the word "blessing". He was targeted several times and still survived the disaster.

He was thinking about changing his boss.

Prince Fu's Mansion is good. As the local emperor of the entire Changning County, he can get a lot of conveniences even if he is just a worshipper.

He thought that after staying outside for two or three months, the Lin family monk would act quickly. When the situation calmed down, he would go back and continue to serve as his heaven-level worshiper.

When the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he will become a veteran of two generations, and his qualifications will be immediately improved. He will also have the capital to rely on his elders, sell them out, wait until death, and even have the opportunity to get involved in the power of the palace.

As a result, I waited and waited, but didn't get any news.

Nothing good or bad.

"Wait another month. If there is no news from Prince Fu's Mansion, I will go back to get the gold first, and then go to other places, and it must be a big city."

Yu Xian silently made a decision.

As for why it is a big city, naturally there are many talents and entertainment activities in big cities. In a place like Gujia Village, you can’t spend any money.

Here, in addition to buying land, you are just buying land. You are just a rich man. Even a pretty girl is a treasure.

Although Yu Xian is a scumbag and likes fishing, he will not harm other people's yellow-flowered girls and ruin their innocence.

"Hey, are you going to die or not?"

…

Perhaps Yu Xian's words had an effect.

In less than half a month, he finally received the belated news from the palace - King Fu was assassinated, and the whole city mourned for seven days, and all entertainment activities were banned.

Gujiacun is only fifty or sixty miles away from Changning City, a day's walk away. Such a major event spreads relatively quickly.

Even the 80-year-old ancestor of the Gu family, who likes to talk about ancient times at the head of the village, lamented that he really lived a long life and could see everything. Princes can be assassinated these days.

"good!"

Yu Xian clapped his hands and saw Yulan's surprised eyes again. His face immediately fell, and he almost shed a few crocodile tears.

"……sad!"

"I never thought that our goodbyes a year ago would be our last. This assassin is really hateful. If I ever meet him, I must capture him to avenge the prince."

Yulan was not too sad about the assassination of the prince, and she was not familiar with Prince Fu. She was worried about the princess.

"Your Majesty is gone, how sad will your Majesty be? The prince is still so young."

Magnolia has always been grateful to the princess.

Although she is just an inconspicuous one among the many maids in the princess's courtyard, otherwise she would not be casually rewarded by the princess.

But she was able to avoid bad luck after being sold and meet Yu Xian again, all thanks to the princess's rescue and arrangements.

Even if the princess only uses her as a pawn to win over and monitor Yu Xian, the kindness is genuine.

"Master, let's go back." Yulan pleaded, "I want to see the empress."

"good."

Yulan's request was exactly what she wanted, so there was no reason why Yu Xian could not agree.

King Fu is dead, and Changning County is temporarily without a master.

The opponents of the Lin family are the Jiang family and the entire Yue Kingdom. They will not pay more attention to a dilapidated palace with only orphans and widows left.

When he returned from this trip, the biggest threat was gone.

And with his current strength, even if that late-stage qi-training monk from the Lin family comes, he may not be able to fight.

The breakthrough in cultivation and the refined magical weapon embryos gave Yu Xian a little more courage.

His eyes dropped to the bottom of his field of vision.

[Name: Yu Xian]

[Cultivation: Eighth level of Qi training (4/340)]

[Taoist Companion: Magnolia (1/1)]

…

Prince Fu's Mansion.

A large white lantern was hung in front of the house. The guests coming and going all had serious faces, unable to hide their grief. The house was austere, and even the air was filled with the smell of sadness.

Yu Xian returned from the dusty journey and went straight to the mourning hall.

At this time, the mourning hall was full of guests, and Mr. Li, the general manager of the palace, presided over the ceremony.

"My lord!"

Yu Xian walked through the crowd and cried out sadly to the coffin placed in the lobby: "I came back late!"

The voice was sad and eye-catching, making people wonder whose young master this was, who actually acted so excessively?

When he saw Yu Xian, he ignored the obstruction of the palace guards and lay down on the coffin to pat it.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Um?

Yu Xian immediately realized something was wrong.

The coffin was empty, except for some clothes and belongings.

His spiritual consciousness can even penetrate jade. Now that his realm has been broken through, the power of his spiritual consciousness has greatly increased, and it is naturally difficult for a mere coffin to stop him.

He has always been a person who pays attention to details. If King Fu is dead, he must see his body to confirm.

As a result of this investigation, I actually found something wrong. This is a tomb!

"I offer my condolences to you. Your Majesty has a spirit underground. It would be very gratifying to know that I am so grieving for him."

Eunuch Li felt inexplicably sad, and his voice was a little hoarse.

However, Yu Xian looked stern and pulled Eunuch Li into the back hall.

"who is it?!"

"Eunuch Li, when I left, the prince was still in good health. It was definitely not like he died without any illness. Someone must have murdered the prince.

Who is the murderer? I will personally avenge the prince! "

Yu Xian's eyes were red, and his voice was filled with murderous intent.

Eunuch Li looked puzzled.

When did the relationship between Yu Zongfeng and his prince become so good?

However, he did not dare to offend Yu Chongfeng, who was obviously angry. This was a real martial arts master.

The princess told him more than once that if Yu Chongfeng was here, nothing would happen to the prince that day.

"No one knows who the murderer is."

Eunuch Li sighed and said:

“That day during the Lantern Festival night, the prince suddenly became interested and said he wanted to have fun with the people, so he took the princess and the Crown Prince down the river to enjoy the lanterns.

Our family also accompanied us, but as the boat reached the middle of the river, there were sudden explosions and mist on the river.

The boat was blown open, then the cabin caught fire, and all of us fell into the water.

Our family saw with our own eyes that the prince was taken to a small boat by the big priest. However, not far away, the boat also exploded.

Later, we only found some of the prince's broken clothes and a few arms and legs in the nearby waters, but the big altar was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone said that the prince was bombed to pieces, and the empress couldn't accept it. She ordered people to salvage the river for several days but found nothing. She had fainted from crying several times.

Why……"

Eunuch Li sighed.

"The prince has always treated us servants generously. If our family's old life can be exchanged for the prince's chance of survival, our family is also willing."

However, Yu Xian wondered that something was wrong.

The experience of watching many movies and TV series in his previous life told him - if a person does not see the body, he is not dead.

And since no body has been found, it can be treated as missing. Is it necessary to handle the funeral in such a hurry?

It's just that Eunuch Li's sadness cannot be faked. He is also a monk in the late stage of Qi training, and his five senses are super strong. Eunuch Li's emotions cannot be hidden from him.

Yu Xian pretended not to be angry and said: "Eunuch Li, since the prince hasn't found the body yet, why do you want to announce his death so loudly?

If the prince is lucky enough to survive and comes back later, how will he deal with himself? Whose decision was this? That's too rash! "

Eunuch Li said: "It was your mother's decision. Now the thieves in Guangnan are rampant and the rebels have already reached Cangnan County, which is only a stone's throw away from our Changning County.

But the family cannot be without an owner for a day. If the prince cannot be found, Changning County will be without a king for a day. Therefore, we can only cut the knot quickly, let the crown prince succeed to the throne first, and then stabilize the situation.

but……"

Eunuch Li shook his head and said: "The imperial envoy from the imperial court has not yet arrived, so the crown prince's title has not been officially canonized. The county governor's mansion has also shied away from the prince's orders several times since the prince disappeared.

Fortunately, I am back. "

Eunuch Li said with a happy face: "As the saying goes, a horse's strength can be seen from a distance, and a person's heart can be seen over time. Now that the palace is in turmoil, Yu Gongfeng can come back and contribute to the palace, which is enough to prove that the prince has not misjudged the person."

Yu Xian said calmly: "It's all just to share the burden for the palace."

"My father-in-law is in charge here. I'm going to see the princess and let her know that I'm back."
