    "Where are those monks being held?" Mo Wen asked the chief who was leading the way.  "Let me ask you, they are all locked up in the prison in the south of the city." The principal is a short man about forty years old. His official name is the official name of the principal, and he is a fourth-grade official. He is an above-average official in the Situ Mansion.  "Liu Xiong didn't tell you that you should treat the monks you find with courtesy." Mo Wen asked with a frown.  "I told you, but those monks will run away if they are not locked up." The chief replied carefully.  "Those more than 300 people all look like foreign monks." Mo Wen asked again. Before that, he had told Liu Xiong that he wanted to find foreign monks.  "Yes, yes, yes, they are all." The chief nodded repeatedly, "How dare we neglect the things that the real person ordered, let alone us, even the emperor has personally dealt with it." Near noon, a group of people came to the south prison of the city. This prison is divided into  There are two places in the north and south. The south is an underground prison and the north is an above-ground prison. Hundreds of monks are imprisoned in the prison.  At this time, criminals were either beheaded and exiled, or beaten with sticks. There were not many people imprisoned, so the prisons in various places were not big. Three hundred monks almost occupied this prison.  After entering the prison cell, Mo Wen saw those monks. These were indeed not Han people, but they were not Ban monks either. They were Hu monks who fled west after the fall of Zhao. They had long beards, big noses, white skin, and cheekbones.  high.  "We caught the wrong ones. These are all barbarians. They are not the people we are looking for at all." Lao Wu went to the prison passage to check each cell.  "None of them." The chief asked nervously. Before that, all the monks were killed by Liu Shaoqing. After working hard for more than a month, he finally captured these monks from all over the country.  While Lao Wu was searching, Mo Wen was also looking. After careful inspection, the two of them were very frustrated. There was no Peacock King in it.  "Really not." The principal was even more frustrated than the two of them.  "None of these." Lao Wu replied.  ¡°Come on, drag them out and chop them up.¡± The chief¡¯s frustration turned to anger.  When the imprisoned monks heard that they were going to be beheaded, there were two completely opposite reactions. A few people were unmoved and closed their eyes and chanted sutras. The majority of people grabbed the wooden railings of the cell and shouted for mercy. These people expressed their knowledge in order to survive.  You can lead the way to find the whereabouts of other monks.  ¡°Don¡¯t be impatient, wait for me to ask.¡± Mo Wen raised his hand to signal the jailer who rushed in to back off, then walked out of the cell with Lao Wu and sat down in the outside room where the jailer was resting.  The jailer took a monk out of the cell and sent him to the outhouse for questioning.  "Do you know where the old monk is hiding?" Mo Wenchong asked the ashen-faced monk. In fact, these people are very few in age. Most of them are between forty and sixty years old. Just because they  They all have big beards, so they look older.  "I know, I know, I can take you to find him." The latter replied tremblingly.  "What does he look like?" Mo Wen asked.  The other party gestured to describe it, and Mo Wen waited patiently to hear what he had to say, then turned to the chief officer standing nearby and said, "Let him go." "Master, what he said is wrong, it's just nonsense." Lao Wu interrupted.  said.  Mo Wen raised his hand to Lao Wu, indicating that he knew what he was doing.  Then he changed to the next one, and Mo asked the same question every time, which was what the old monk looked like. The monks gave various answers, but none of them were right. Mo asked and didn't care about them, and let them all go.  .  After asking dozens of people, the chief interjected, "Master, they have said so much, isn't there anyone who fits the bill?" Mo Wen shook his head. Although the appearance of the Peacock King was not very different from that of the barbarians, he had  One very obvious feature is that his eyes are purple. Some of these barbarian monks have blue eyes, but they are not purple.  I asked again and asked all the monks, but none of them was right. It was obvious that they were talking nonsense in order to survive.  "Master, what does the old monk you are looking for look like?" the host asked doubtfully.  "His eyes are purple." Mo Wen said.  "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Seeing Lao Wu tilting his head and frowning, the supervisor hurriedly added, "We'll go look for him soon." "Thank you." Mo Wen stood up and walked out.  "Master, what should we do with the remaining monks?" the chief asked.  "Let it go." Mo Wen said casually.  "We can't let him go. We're not afraid of death. We'll chop them all down." After Lao Wu said this, Mo Wen frowned, and then changed his words, "Don't let him go without killing him. He's locked up." While speaking, several people came out of the prison, only to see one person.  The young man stood in the courtyard, with a dozen strong men in black standing behind him.  "The humble minister is here to see the emperor." The chief recognized the person and panicked.? Kneel down. The guard in the courtyard did not expect that the young man holding the token was the emperor. Hearing the master's shout, he also knelt down.  The young man did not pay attention to the people who were kneeling, but walked forward quickly, and raised his hands to Mo Wen as he walked, "I have heard about the real name for a long time, and I just met him today. Although it is late, I am lucky."  When I asked the judge to return the favor, I saw that although this man was young, his hair was much whiter, and he looked like he was worried and tired.  "Don't be anxious, Master. Let us continue our search. It is a blessing to meet the Master today. I dare to ask the Master to drive to his residence. Please allow us to show the friendship of the landlord." The young man's words did not contain the slightest hint of hesitation.  Imperial meaning.  "Thanks to your kindness, we two are eager to return to the Taoist temple, so we won't bother you." Mo Wen waved his hand and said, Liang Kingdom originally belonged to the Jin Kingdom. Later, after the Hu people went south, they established the country and became king. Therefore, although they are Han people, they are not royal orthodox.  "I would like to invite you to linger here for a while, even if you want to drink some tea." Emperor Liang asked again.  Mo Wen didn't answer immediately when he heard this. The young emperor was pitiful enough, and Liu Shaoqing had to worry a lot about his people and money. Regardless of this matter, he just said that he owed him a favor for helping to find the Peacock King. This time he would not  It is indeed inconvenient to be treated with courtesy and treat someone coldly.  After Mo Wen pondered for a while, he said, "We do have something to do, and we will return immediately. Can we remember this cup of tea here first?" "The Liang Kingdom will always welcome the real person." Emperor Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he had already forgotten about Pu Jian.  Knowing that what he was most worried about was that Pu Jian would destroy Liang after he ascended the throne. Mo Wen did not refuse people thousands of miles away to show that there was room for change in this matter.  Mo Wen smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Lao Wu. Lao Wu understood and transformed into a giant bat from the courtyard, carrying Mo Wen south.  "Master, we haven't had lunch yet. How about we eat before leaving. Why are we leaving in such a hurry?" Lao Wu asked.  "Some food cannot be eaten randomly." Mo Wen shook his head and said. There was a reason why he kept a distance from Liang Guo. He didn't want to tell Pu Jian what he would do in the future, nor did he want to interfere too much. If he owed too many favors,  In the future, when others come to ask for something, they will not be able to refuse because of their appearance.  In the evening, the two returned to Shangqing Temple and rested for the night. In the early morning of the next day, Mo Wen called Lao Wu, and the two got up and headed south to Bishuitan.  A severe drought has greatly reduced the water volume of the Yellow River. Although it has not stopped flowing, it has separated Bishuitan from the main river channel. When the two arrived, Chitose was digging sand, trying to divert the river water into Bishuitan.  Seeing the two of them arriving, Chitose turned into a human body and greeted them happily, "Why are you here?" "Uncle, these are the snacks my mother-in-law made for you." Lao Wu presented a bag of food.  "Okay, okay, thank you very much." Chitose took the snack and thanked her.  "Brother's cultivation has become more advanced." Mo Wen raised his hand and said.  "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. Come sit in the house." Chitose pointed to the stone house to the north.  "You want to divert the river water into the Bishui Pool." Mo Wen pointed to the half-excavated tunnel.  "Yes, this year's drought is unprecedented in a century." Chitose nodded.  "Stop digging. It will be a matter of time before the Yellow River stops flowing. If you dig a tunnel, the water in Bishuitan will also flow away." Mo Wen said.  "Why do you say that?" Chitose asked in confusion. Over the past ten years, everyone's appearance has changed, but he has not changed at all.  "That's why I came here this time." Mo Wen explained the cause of the drought and Ao Ban's invitation to Chitose while walking.  "If we don't find the water-drawing tripod, there will never be rain." Chitose was not in a hurry to express his position.  Mo Wen nodded, then turned to say, "Your river bank is in better condition now, but the drought in other places is even worse." "The Yellow River flows eastward into the sea. If I become an enemy of the East China Sea, it will be the same as the people killing officials. This is rebellion.  "Hey, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Bishuitan anymore." Qiantose looked sad.  "I'm not looking for you to ask for your help, but I want you to summon Liu Shaoqing and Ye Xiaoyao to meet you. I don't have their locating charms." Mo Wen gave up his plan to ask Chitose to accompany him. Chitose is a water tribe and does have worries about his future.  "It's not difficult." Chitose took out a charm from the lining of the Taoist robe placed on the bedside and burned it.  When the talisman was burned, Mo Wen immediately felt in his heart that this talisman was left behind by everyone when they went down the mountain to communicate with each other. But now that the talisman was burned, they could no longer summon the seven people.  After the spell was burned, it was time to wait. Mo Wen and Chitose had always been good friends, so they told the truth about what they had done and what they had seen and heard during these days. Chitose was very happy to learn that Mo Wen was getting married. She rummaged through the boxes and found a pair of agarwood pillows to use as pillows.  Congratulations.  "There is indeed the Ambiguous True Fire in the South China Sea, but it is born in their blood. How can humans learn from it." Chitose asked??.  "I just want their Qi movement method." Mo Wen said. The Dragon Clan of the South China Sea can breathe fire, and what he needs is a way to suppress the inner fire.  "There is another thing you may have overlooked." Chitose stood up straight at this point and shouted outside the door, "Hey, hey, just catch the fish, don't chase them away." "What's the matter?" Mo Wen asked  .  Chitose sat back in his seat and said, "Aliens have inner alchemy condensed in their bodies. In the end of the world, they can use the inner alchemy to release spiritual energy, but Taoists who walk the path for heaven cannot. You are the only one who has inner alchemy condensed in your body. No one else has accumulated spiritual energy in their body."  , As time goes by, one thing will fade away, and sooner or later the aliens will be stronger than humans. I am worried that they may counterattack. " "It is not a possibility, but a certainty. I went to the wilderness before and found that there are a large number of Taoists there who are looking for alchemy materials and herbs.  If you can't find it, you'll start hunting the aliens to get the inner elixir. If you continue like this, the time for the aliens to counterattack will be advanced." Mo Wen shook his head and said, as the saying goes, misfortune never comes alone, such as a severe drought that has never happened in a century, a chaotic war, and the aliens' subsequent counterattack.  One is already in dire straits, and now the three are here together. It is truly the end of the world
