Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 5: The legend of the alchemist

No matter how much Zuo Ci struggled, he couldn't break free from this copper wire formation. Coupled with the formations on the copper wires and wooden boards, the illusion that he was proud of could not be displayed. And the alchemist Zuo Ci had seen before he fainted has never appeared again. No matter how much he asked the little cultivator, he couldn't get a single answer. The heat was in a hurry, and the little cultivator even beat Zuo Ci hard with a stick.

This kind of day lasted for nearly three months, until half a month ago, a dozen or so unidentified Han people suddenly appeared in the small wooden hut where Zuo Ci was imprisoned, carried him to the boat, and waited. After the big ship left the Persian port, this time the Han Dynasty people changed into the clothes of the Han Dynasty officials in front of Zuo Ci. At this time, Zuo Ci already understood a bit. Unexpectedly, after nearly a hundred years, he escaped to Persia, but he still did not escape this fate.

However, there seems to be only Zuo Ci, a captured alchemist on the entire ship. Seeing that the ship was about to reach the Han realm, it was unexpected that at this time, Zuo Ci had been watching the appearance of Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, who were not very pleasing to the eye, and saved his life.

There is only so much Zuo Ci knows, and looking at him, he can't ask any more questions. At the moment, Guibugui turned his attention to the naked and trembling little monk and a few sergeants. After laughing, the old guy walked up to the little cultivator and said to him, "Did you say it happily? Or the old man, if I ask a question, you answer it?"

The little cultivator is a sensible one. After hearing the words of Gui Bugui in a daze, he turned over and knelt in front of the old guy, and said to him, "If you return to the great alchemist, the youngest is called Zhou Mengxiong. There are seven brothers and sisters in the family, the youngest is the fifth. Now there are two wives, one son, two daughters and three children..."

It wasn't too late to hear the little cultivator talking nonsense, but Gui Bugui couldn't help but kick him down. Then he stared and said, "Do you still want to take a bath in the sea? Seriously! If you are talking nonsense, I will go to your house. Eat your mother-in-law and three little beasts!"

The little cultivator was startled, got up again and knelt in front of Gui Bugui. Before speaking, he gave himself two mouths first and foremost, and then he said again: "The little one is frightened and stupid, the great alchemist should not blame him. The little one followed the master of Yunding Mountain to cultivate the Tao, and started following the master five years ago. It's a matter of rounding up alchemists. However, the skills of the small ones are low, and they have never harmed the master alchemist. This is all assigned by the master, and the small ones will not do it. To be honest, the small ones are also very sympathetic to the master alchemists... ..."

When he said this, the little monk stared at the black iron tower-like monster again. He was so scared that he shrank his neck and immediately turned back to the topic: "It's just because I'm young that I have no ability, so I was sent to Persia by the master. I said that a few master alchemists were found here, I don't need me to arrest people, just keep an eye on them. It's good to have this master alchemist. This is also the first time Xiao has made a move, and he was caught by the big alchemist..."

"Tell me about the alchemists, you have already caught a few alchemists." Hearing that the little cultivator didn't talk about the main point, Wu Mian couldn't help but continued: "It's been almost a hundred years, your emperor is here. Is your breath still out?"

After hearing Wu Mian's words, the little cultivator immediately moved his body and pointed the direction of his kneeling at the white-haired man. He said: "When Emperor Wu issued the decree of sinning himself in the last few years, he has already pardoned the alchemists. However, those alchemists did not show up. Later, when Emperor Xuan came, because it is said that the alchemists participated in King Yuan's treason, It has been encircled and suppressed by Emperor Xuan again until now, but after so many years, I have not heard of any great alchemist being captured. This time, this master Zuo Ci is the most famous master alchemist. "

"Where are my fellow students!" Just as the little cultivator finished speaking, Zuo Ci couldn't help but said to him, "There are three other people besides me, where are they?"

When Zuo Ci mentioned his classmate, the little cultivator named Zhou Mengxiong's expression became weird. After Zuo Ci asked twice in a row, Zhou Mengxiong said boldly: "Those master alchemists have died, but I didn't do it. When I invited Master Zuo Ci back, those master alchemists had died. I've been dying. I buried them all with my own hands..."

Hearing that several of my classmates suffered misfortune, Zuo Ci took a deep breath. After calming his mind, he continued to say to Zhou Mengxiong: "Is there another person? Who is the alchemist who caught me? Where is he now?"

"I don't know..." Zhou Mengxiong replied secretly: "It has always been an official who asked me to do this and that. He asked me to invite your old man out of that house. As for How did you get caught, and who else caught you, I really don't know."

Looking at Zhou Mengxiong, it didn't seem like he was lying. Gui Bugui looked back at the trembling officers, and then said to the bare-bottomed cultivator, "Which one of them is the official?"

After Zhou Mengxiong peeked to see if he would return, he said from his mouth: "I was left in the sea just now by this Sanxian master, and now he is probably gone..."

Seeing that the young monk couldn't ask any more questions, Gui Bugui called over the sergeants who were curled up in the corner of the boat. But a few of them were only sent to Persia to pick up people from the upper and lower branches. As for other things, these sergeants did not know.

Seeing that there is no more news about that alchemist, the old guy asked a few things about the change of emperors in the Han Dynasty. After learning that they went to Baidao, Emperor Wu died a few years later. This emperor is also considered to be a longevity emperor, living a total of seventy years. In the ninety or so years after him, the Han Dynasty experienced six more emperors, and now the reigning emperor is the emperor Ping Liu.

"Six emperors have been replaced, six emperors without the help of alchemists..." Gui Bugui muttered to himself, then turned his head and smiled at Wu Mian and Guangzhi, two white-haired men After a while, he continued: "It happens that we have this big ship, which is God's saving effort for Guangzhi. After staying in Yidao for 90 days, we will go back and see what happened in these 90 years. We will all be forgiven. Now, it's been set as an evil way again. When did the alchemists become so unpopular..."

Using Guangzhi to control the direction of the wind, this big ship sails smoothly. After half a day, they arrived at the land where they saw the Han border, and after finding a pier to dock, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui, and Zuo Ci got off the boat. In the end, Guangzhi used magic to kick away the big boat that was still carrying the little monk Zhou Mengxiong and a few sergeants. Although there was still a lot of drinking water on the boat, whether it was possible to return to the land depended on the good fortune of these people.

When I came out of Baidao, I brought a few golden cakes with me. At the moment, I bought a new dress for Guangzhi in the nearby county. In the end, I bought two more carriages. This time, it was useless to drive myself. I hired two coachmen and drove towards Chang'an.

Although there is no official document for arresting the alchemist along the way, but when Kui Fugui was talking to the driver who was driving the car, the two drivers couldn't understand whether the court and the alchemist had gone out again in the past few years. whats the matter.

On the way, I passed through several large counties and the vassal states of the princes and kings. I inquired a few times whether I went back or not, but I only found out that King Yuan rebelled a few decades ago, and the rebel army played Dafangshi. The banner of assisting King Yuan. Later, after the rebellion was quelled, the reigning Emperor Xuan directly again designated the alchemist as an evil way. After so many years, as long as there is any trouble, there will be rumors of alchemists, so later emperors have always regarded alchemists as a thorn in their side.

Although there has always been a legend of the alchemist, no one has actually seen the famous alchemist involved in the rebels. And even though Emperor Wu pardoned the alchemist class, none of the alchemists showed up, but the alchemist class became more and more weird, which was one of the reasons why the emperors in the back were always worried.
