At this time, Li Si no longer had the prestige of a prime minister. He struggled to crawl to the ground. After finally getting up, he gave Xu Fu a big gift. This was because he lost his voice for a short while in shock, so he didn’t open his mouth to apologize to Master Dafang. However, Xu Fu’s face seemed a little lonely. After sighing slightly, he said a word without beginning and end: “Your Majesty can’t be without a prime minister for a day.” Your body is slightly ill, the two of you will follow the honor guard of the Prime Minister back to Xianyang, and you must take care of the Prime Minister along the way, and you must not neglect the slightest…”
After sending Li Si away, the alchemist chief, who had been kneeling on the ground, climbed a few steps, knelt down in front of Xu Fu again, and said humbly: “Master Dafang’s magic is a magic trick that I have never seen before, and I have never heard of it. With Dafang Master here, why does Your Majesty need to ask for overseas fairy recipes? Dafang Master is a living fairy in this world…”
Xu Fu shook his head at the alchemist chief wagging his tail and begging for pity. He glanced back at his disciples and said, “How about you? What do you think?” Except for the three disciples behind him, the disciples on both sides were almost They said in unison, “Master Dafang’s technique is mysterious, and it is a magical technique that shocks the world…”
In the midst of this piece of praise, a strange voice suddenly appeared: “I thought it was some great magical skill. No matter how beautiful the method is, it’s still an illusion.” This person said something mean and even more harsh. All eyes were on him for a while.
The speaker, Xu Fu, didn’t know him. He was a handyman who followed the alchemist chief and was responsible for carrying bamboo slips. Just now, he was slightly surprised when he saw Xu Fu pouring out the sweet wine like a nine-story pagoda, but then the fire snake came out of nowhere, and after Li Si’s heart was taken out, the expression on the handyman’s face also changed. Started to gradually become disdainful.
“Bold!” Before Xu Fu could speak, the alchemist chief beside him turned pale with fright. The handyman is his person, even if Xu Fu is not as knowledgeable as the handyman, it is inevitable that he will not be angry with him, the alchemist chief. Even the prime minister, Li Si, did not care about the generous master, and it was easy to get rid of such a small person.
“Shut up” Xu Fu glanced at the manager of the way with a slight anger, then turned his eyes to the young handyman, and took a closer look. The handyman is not too old, so he In his twenties, he was just a child in Xu Fu’s eyes. Although this handyman has a beautiful face, it is precisely this eyebrow that reveals a mean look.
There is another thing that makes Xu Fu slightly surprised. This handyman actually wears a jade art that shows his identity as an alchemist, but the quality of this jade art is too poor. It is better to say that it is a jade art. It is the stone formula that is more appropriate.
Xu Fu looked at the handyman and said, “You are also an alchemist?” The handyman looked up at Xu Fu, and before he could answer, the alchemist chief interjected in a very inappropriate manner: “He was originally a palace slave. , because one of my ancestors came from a alchemist in the capital, so I carried his slave status and recruited me to be a little alchemist who tested medicine.”
“Little alchemist…” Xu Fu snorted softly, ignoring the alchemist chief. Continue to say to the little alchemist: “Why do you say that what you just did was an illusion?”
The chief alchemist rushed to the front again and rebuked the little alchemist: “In front of the great alchemist, you dare…” But this time, he was not allowed to continue to be presumptuous, and Xu Fu stretched out his finger at the alchemist The headmaster made a false gesture, and the headmaster fell on his back. He struggled and tried to get up, but it was as if he was pressing down on a huge boulder. No matter how hard the headmaster struggled, he couldn’t move one bit.
In extreme panic, the alchemist chief wanted to beg Xu Fu for mercy, but the words had reached his throat, and after turning around, he couldn’t say it out of his mouth. Get the mercy of Master Dafang.
It’s a pity that Xu Fu didn’t seem to see him. He continued to look at the little alchemist with great interest, and repeated what he said just now: “Well, why do you say that what you just said was an illusion?”
The little alchemist glanced at the chief executive who was still struggling on the ground. His eyes were somewhat contemptuous, and he definitely should not have the attitude he should have towards his immediate boss. Turning his gaze from the chief alchemist to Master Dafang, the little alchemist raised his head and glanced at Xu Fu before saying absentmindedly: “It’s nothing special, Master Dafang is just obsessed with Li… Prime Minister and the rest of us. Five senses, wine is still a glass of wine, and there are no fire snakes, digging hearts or something, Master Dafang did something, and the Prime Minister was confused and was responsible for cooperating.”
After the little alchemist finished speaking, the lecture hall was silent, and almost everyone’s eyes were focused on Xu Fu’s face. With the experience of the alchemist chief, no one dared to be presumptuous in front of the great alchemist, and everyone was waiting for Xu Fu’s reaction.
Xu Fu glanced at the little alchemist with a half-smile, no longer continued the topic just now, just asked him: “What’s your name?”
Little Fangshi paused for a while. He didn’t understand what Xu Fu was trying to do. After hesitating for a while, he still said, “Mian…my name is Mian”
“Mian?” Xu Fu frowned slightly, but in an instant he understood the meaning of the single-character name. When the alchemist manager introduced the little alchemist just now, he said his background as a palace servant, the law of Daqin. Slaves have names and no names. Mian is his name.
Hearing Xiao Fang Shimian’s accent with Wu Nong’s soft words, Xu Fu smiled lightly, looked at him again and said, “Are you from Wu?” Mian just nodded, without waiting for him to speak, behind Dafang Shi Guangren has already taken a step forward and said respectfully in Xu Fu’s ear: “Master Dafang said carefully, Wu has been destroyed for a hundred years, and now the next generation is all the people of Daqin, and there is no distinction between Wu people and Chu people.”
Guangren seemed to be advising the alchemist Xu Fu, but his eyes were staring at the alchemist chief who was still lying on the ground. Xu Fu understood what he was thinking. After the First Emperor unified the world, he issued a decree that anyone who claimed to be a subjugated nation would be punished with the crime of rebellion, and the self-proclaimed Wu people were guilty of exterminating their clan.
Xu Fu snorted coldly, he ignored his eldest disciple, and continued to say to the little alchemist: “Since you have entered the Tao of alchemy, you have already left your slave status. There has never been an alchemist with a name or a name. I will give you a surname. From today onwards, you will be called Wu Mian—the alchemist Wu Mian.” After he finished speaking, Xu Fu turned around and glanced at the alchemist manager on the ground. He stretched out his finger and made a virtual circle. The pressure disappeared without a trace.
“You are staying here tonight” Xu Fu looked at the alchemist chief who did not dare to get up, and was still crawling on the ground, and said, “Tomorrow will be the auspicious time for me to lead a boat across the sea to seek elixir for the first emperor. People stay to watch the ceremony, and when the ship enters the sea, you will return to the First Emperor and take care of His Majesty’s medicine and food.”
The chief alchemist who escaped and ascended to heaven immediately kowtowed and said, “Following the teachings of the great alchemist, I can see with my own eyes the great alchemist crossing the sea and seeking the elixir of immortality for His Majesty. When the little one returns to Xianyang, he will definitely tell His Majesty…”
Before the Master Chief had finished speaking, Xu Fu waved his hand impatiently and said to everyone in the dojo, “Now start praying for Your Majesty, Wu Mian, you leave behind to clean the altar… Everyone else will step down.”
As soon as Master Dafang said this, everyone in the dojo, including Wu Mian, looked puzzled. Xu Fu had so many disciples that the job of guarding the altar could not be a low-level alchemist. But when Master Dafang spoke, he did not dare to refuse. The crowd had to file and walk out of the main hall of the lecture hall, and finally the eldest disciple Guangren and three other white-haired men and women came out.
In order to pray for blessings and sacrifice to the Dharma, these four people must guard the four directions of the pulpit. Seeing that the four of them were about to break up after walking out of the gate of the dojo, and when they returned to their respective positions as guardians, the eldest of the four, a man in his forties suddenly said, “Master Dafang has seen the wrong person…”
As soon as this person said this, the other three people retracted their bodies at the same time, and their eyes fell on this person. The four of them didn’t speak again, and the scene was silent for a while, and even their heartbeats could be heard. After a long while, Guangren glanced at the man, and then said coldly: “Guangxiao, don’t talk nonsense, Master Dafang’s thoughts are not something that people like me can speculate on their own.”
The older man named Guangxiao laughed indifferently and said, “Brother Guangren, I’m not like you. Master Dafang has already said that I am a temporary alchemist. Sooner or later, I will vote for him. I teach. If you dare not say it, let me say it, it’s no big deal.”
While speaking, Hiroko glanced at the faces of the other three people one by one. He looked at the expressions of the three of them, paused for a moment, and said, “Seeing that tomorrow is the auspicious time for Master Dafang to go to sea, may I ask the three brothers and sisters, which of the three of you, Master Dafang, will take over the line of Master Dafang? “
Looking at the three people who were silent, Guangxiao smiled and continued: “I’m afraid that little alchemist is accepting Dafang Master’s Dao lineage in the dojo. It won’t take a few years, as long as Dafang Master does not return from sea, you will We must respect him as the next Dafang Master.”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was quiet again. The three white-haired men and women each had their own thoughts, but they were unwilling to express their confidants. Suddenly, another twenty-five- or six-year-old white-haired man laughed, slapped Guangxiao and said, “It’s a good way, no wonder Dafang Shi said that if you had abandoned the alchemist’s way and specialized in the art of combining vertical and horizontal, Where can Su Qin and Zhang Yi still be in their early days? I am afraid that the situation where Da Qin dominates the world will also change.”
At this time, the white-haired woman who had not spoken turned back to look at the direction where Xu Fu and Wu Mian were, and said quietly: “This level of illusion is only a trivial skill, and it is a child’s play to belong to the Tao. Well…”
Guang Xiao glanced at the woman and said in a playful tone: “Senior Sister Guang Ti, at the age of a little alchemist, can you see through this kind of trivial trick?”
