Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 20: I have an old friend
Because there was no alchemist to disrupt the situation, I didn't expect it to be so smooth this time. The country that lasted more than 200 years in the Han Dynasty was unexpectedly usurped by a foreign relative. However, the founding emperor of the new dynasty was also very good at governing the country. After changing the dynasty, he implemented a series of severe punishment laws such as the Well Field Law and the abolition of private slave trade.
Although there are still people who don't like Wang Mang's actions, but just looking at his actions, compared to Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, he is surprised how many times stronger. It's just that I don't know if the change of dynasty has provoked God. Wang Mang's new dynasty has been plagued by natural disasters since the day it was established.
In addition to natural disasters, there are also frequent reports of bandits in various places. Although Wang Mang sent troops to collect them, but there were too many rebels in the world, and the Xiongnu, who had disappeared, appeared in the area of the Hetao generation. He began to harass the people there. For a time, under the internal and external troubles, the army of the new dynasty began to be exhausted.
Although the world is showing signs of corruption, the city of Chang'an is still peaceful. In the market, the business is still the same as before, and there is no trace of turbulence in the current situation. However, Wu Mian, Guangzhi and the two monsters have been living in Yan Jie's private house. After Wang Mang ascended the throne, he once gave Yan Jie the official position of a general of the Royal Forest Army. It's just that he still misunderstood this person of the same era as Xu Fu, Yan Jie just likes to be a doorman in the family of the big nobles. Being an official in the dynasty was suspected of influencing the fortunes of the country. Moreover, the current Wang Mang had already controlled the fortunes of the country under the instructions of the Lord Wentian. Under such circumstances, Yan Jie naturally did not dare to go into this muddy water.
At the moment, Yan Jie said that he was not sick, but Wang Mang was a person who was nostalgic. He didn't force Yan Jie either, and he gave this former guest a mansion in front of his hidden residence.
Jun Ci Yan Jie naturally did not dare to quit. After taking over the big mansion, he discussed it with Wu Mian and Guangzhi, and moved to the big mansion with a few servants who were used to it. Originally, Yan Jie wanted to take Wu Mian and the others to move to a new home, but Bai Wuqiu was still thinking about whether to return or not, worried that the old guy would not be able to find them when he came back. At the moment, he refused to move with Yan Jie.
And Wu Mian didn't mean to move out. Except for Yan Jie who had to move out, they still lived in Yan Jie's old house.
Originally according to Wu Mian's thoughts, after Wang Mang established a new dynasty, Wen Tianlou would show up at this time. What they didn't expect was that Wen Tianlou was exactly the same as the disappearing alchemist. Except that he appeared once in the palace that night, he never appeared in front of Wu Mian and the others.
In this way, Wu Mian and the others lived in Chang'an City for more than a year. Bai Wuqiu has become accustomed to the days of no return. Instead of taking Xiao Ren San to hang out in the major liquor stores in Chang'an City every day, after the two monsters drank too much, they began to drink and find people to scold. With the support of Yan Jie, the emperor of the new dynasty, the officials of Chang'an City did not dare to do anything to him. In a few days, these two monsters actually became the hegemons of Chang'an City.
And Wu Mian hardly stayed at home, often shutting himself in the room and rehearsing the techniques he had obtained from Xu Fu's map by himself. Without the nagging of returning and not returning, Wu Mian's realm of magic was also slightly successful after a short period of time.
Guangzhi and Zuo Ci actually have friendship, and Guangzhi has another purpose for leaving the island this time. Thinking of taking another look at the old site of the alchemist sect, after so many years, the alchemist sect has never appeared. The old Zongmen site was already dilapidated, but Guangzhi still invited Zuo Ci to come back to the old Zongmen site to have a look. How to say he, the first disciple of the master of the island, also walked out from here.
After visiting the old site of Fangshizongmen, the two often travel together. Originally, both of them tried their best to invite Wu Mian and the two monsters, but when they said they wanted to leave here, they would not agree to anything. And Wu Mian didn't have the mind to play, only the two of them appeared and disappeared for two or three months.
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed, and I see that this year will be spent in Chang'an City again. One morning, when Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Ren San, who had not woken up from a hangover, were still sleeping soundly in the room, the butler left by Yan Jie hurriedly knocked on the door.
After seeing no response after knocking for a long time, the housekeeper went to Wu Mian's room alone. After knocking on the door three or two times, the housekeeper stood at the door, and said to the white-haired man inside with some trepidation: "There is a monk outside who claims to be your old friend, and I asked the monk's name. . He said that you can see..."
Since the disappearance of the housekeeper for no reason, the housekeeper is a little nervous when he encounters such a thing again. However, Wu Mian glanced at him as if nothing was wrong, and said, "Since it is said that it is an old friend, let him come in. I also want to see if there is any old friend who will come to the door to find this uncomfortable..."
After Wu Mian's words, the butler trotted to the gate. After a while, let in a middle-aged monk in white. This person turned out to be Guang Xiao, who turned out to be an alchemist at the beginning. Back then, when the master of Wentian designed the alchemist to fight with the demon king, this person with the prefix Guang appeared once. After so many years, Guangxiao disappeared together with the alchemist. It was unexpected that this person would take the initiative to come to the door today.
After seeing Wu Mian, Guangxiao laughed and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still like this. When I became a person with white hair and immortality, I told Guangren that people like us are There will be no change, will I be bored meeting every day at the sect? Or is it a few of us who go our separate ways and get together once in many years. I didn’t think my words should be fulfilled. They meet every day, but I have been together for many years. ..."
Wu Mian did not expect that after so many years, the first person who had something to do with the alchemist would be this person. However, after Guangxiao turned out to be an alchemist back then, his collusion with Wentianlou was still vivid in his mind. Wu Mian didn't like this person very much. After looking at Guangxiao up and down, he said in his unique tone: "Well, if you have seen me, then you can leave. Come back in more than a hundred years, you remember where the gate is. ? Walk slowly, don't send..."
If you open your mouth and say something like this when you meet him, even someone like Hiroshi can't help but feel a little embarrassed. Immediately after he laughed dryly, he glanced behind Wu Mian, and went straight to ask for something to say: "What about my senior brother who is not returning? Why don't you see him? After so many years, don't you still hate me? I'm sorry Wu Mr. Mian told him that Guangxiao came to visit senior brother Guibugui..."
"Guangxiao, you don't go around this house twice, and you don't know what's going on here, then you come in to find your senior brother Gui, guess what, will I believe it?" Wu Mian is rare After saying so many words to Guangxiao, after a pause, the white-haired man returned to his normal state and continued: "Tell me, this time is not for that old guy, right?"
It seems that there is nothing to hide from Mr. Wu Mian. Guangxiao laughed a little embarrassedly, and then continued: "I heard that Mr. Wu Mian still has a few immortality pills in his hand, and it just so happened that I have seen a few good seedlings over the years. I have taught them their techniques, if I can borrow Mr. Wu Mian's elixir to become a system like you and me. Then I will not be lonely on the road to longevity. "
Wu Mian glanced at Guangxiao again and continued: "The elixir of life? Can this be borrowed too? What is borrowed to pay back, is it your life? Or half of it?"
After saying these words, Guang Xiao's face was slightly unnatural. After taking a deep breath, the broad-headed man laughed and said, "I used to think that you followed Senior Brother Gui to take advantage of his exquisite heart. Now it seems that whoever took advantage of whom is still I don't know. But since Mr. Wu Mian has broken his words, we don't have to go around. I want an elixir of life, what treasures do you need..."
When Guangxiao said this, a pill suddenly appeared in Wu Mian's hand. The white-haired man put the medicinal pill in the empty teacup beside him, and then placed the medicinal pill and the teacup in front of Guangxiao. After glancing at him, he said, "In exchange for the old guy who did not return..."
