Chapter 118: The matter is over and I am leaving
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
Two years passed, and the young Emperor Liu Xie had grown a lot taller. Because people in ancient times matured precociously, he had a hint of imperial majesty. Although he was still young, he was basically able to keep the royal family safe.
"His Majesty!"
Qin Mo was dressed in plain clothes and bowed, his meaning was clear.
He has decided to resign from this position!
The young emperor Liu Xie said: "Teacher, you want to ascend to the immortal world. I dare not stop you. But I have something to give to you. Please refuse it."
The eunuch at the side held a sword box in both hands and respectfully handed it to Qin Mo.
Qin Mo was a little surprised. He opened the sword box in public. Inside was a sword that was three feet long. The scabbard was made of meteorite iron and was carved with hollow cloud scrolls.
On the exposed sword guard, there are colorful beads and Jiuhua jade inlaid on both sides.
When he drew out the precious sword, it was as red as blood, almost like a meteorite dropped from the sky, yet it was gleaming with a chill, and its blade was like frost and snow, with two seal characters "Chi Xiao" engraved on the sword.
"Chixiao Sword?" Qin Mo was shocked.
This is the sword held by Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang. It is one of the ten divine weapons, the sword of the emperor, the treasure of the Han Dynasty, and should not be shown to others easily.
The little emperor actually gave him this sword.
In Qin Mo's eyes, this Chixiao sword is indeed a top-grade sword blank, and it is also blessed by the dynasty's luck. As long as it is stored in the dantian and refined day and night, in time, it will surely be able to be refined into a peerless sword pill.
At the very least it is a top-grade magical weapon.
The young emperor Liu Xie said: "Teacher saved Daxia from collapse and is an unrivaled hero of the Han Dynasty. I have nothing else to reward you with but this sword, which is worthy of such a god-like figure as Teacher."
The praise is so high...
Qin Mo looked at the little emperor deeply, thought for a while, put the Chixiao Sword into the dimensional space, and at the same time took out three volumes of Taoist books and handed them to the eunuch beside him.
"Your Majesty has given me so much. These three volumes of Taoist books will serve as a thank you gift." Qin Mo said.
If one day, there really is a person with a talent for cultivation in the Han royal family, with these three volumes of Taoist books, he will surely be able to embark on the path of cultivation.
The Han Dynasty in the future may become a monastic dynasty.
It depends on the luck of people in later generations.
"Thank you, teacher!" The little emperor was overjoyed and accepted the three volumes of Taoist books with great care.
He specially summoned Qin Mo this time. Thanks was only secondary. The more important reason was to get from Qin Mo a prescription that could ensure the eternal stability of the Han Dynasty.
That is the ultimate pursuit of an emperor.
It can be considered as getting what I wanted.
"Aspiration achieved, experience points +250,000."
After receiving the prompt tone, Qin Mo’s last link in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent was severed.
…
Afterwards, Qin Mo left the palace and returned to the Taifu Mansion.
"Master, are you leaving?"
Little Diao Chan has packed her luggage and put it into the storage bag, her eyes full of anticipation.
In less than a year and a half, little Diao Chan broke through from the early stage of Qi Refining to the perfect stage of Qi Refining. She only needed to return to Blackwater City to take the Foundation Establishment Pill to build her foundation.
This speed is faster than that of Master Qin Mo.
It's so embarrassing.
Qin Mo is under great pressure. If he doesn't work harder, his cultivation level will be surpassed by his apprentice in the future...
"Let's go!" Qin Mo smiled gently.
Originally, the little emperor wanted all the officials to see him off tomorrow, but Qin Mo was impatient for this, and took little Diao Chan with him, without any reluctance, and rode the white dragon horse out of Luoyang.
Disappeared in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent.
…
After Qin Mo left, the court issued an edict approving his request to resign.
Subsequently, the imperial court conferred Qin Mo the title of Imperial Master of the Han Dynasty and ordered the casting of a giant statue of Qin Mo in Luoyang City for later generations to admire and pass on to future generations.
In fact, the little emperor is still using up Qin Mo's last bit of value.
Make use of your remaining energy.
He hoped to still rely on the great reputation created by Qin Mo to intimidate the provincial governors and prefects in various places, and to intimidate the unruly foreigners, so as to ensure the stability of the country.
As the saying goes, the imperial family is the most ruthless.
…
Blackwater City.
As soon as Qin Mo came back, the great wizard Ji Ye told him a good news, "The villa in Black and White Mountain has been built. When are you free to go and take a look?"
"It's better to do it now than to wait for another day." Qin Mo smiled.
"Okay."
"Master, can I go with you and take a look?" Little Diao Chan asked curiously.
Qin Mo touched Diao Chan's head and said with a smile: "Of course, that is your training place."
Little Diao Chan is kind and innocent by nature, and cultivation should be her top priority right now. Qin Mo doesn't want her to be involved in too many worldly things.
If you want to experience the secular world, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
When I first thought of building the villa, a large part of it was because of Diao Chan.
Considering Qin Mo's frugal lifestyle in his previous life, if he really wanted to practice in the Black and White Mountains, the Windless Cave would be enough, and there was no need to build any other courtyard.
"Hmm." Little Diao Chan became even more curious.
"Who is this little girl?" The great wizard had actually noticed Diao Chan a long time ago. It was unbelievable that she had already achieved perfection in Qi training at such a young age.
Qin Mo smiled and said, "This is my disciple, Diao Chan."
"Greetings, Grandpa Ji." Little Diao Chan was very well-behaved and bowed crisply.
The great wizard was delighted.
My eyes narrowed into slits...
"Let's go!" Qin Mo carried little Diao Chan onto the white dragon horse.
The great wizard also led out a horse. His broken leg had been replaced with a prosthetic limb specially made by Qin Mo. Although it was not as flexible as a real prosthetic limb, he could still ride and walk on the horse.
No more wheelchair needed.
The three of them quickly left Blackwater City and headed straight for the Black and White Mountains.
Due to the construction needs of Blackwater City, the Black Stone Forest at the foot of the mountain shrank by more than half in just two years, and a large number of trees were cut down.
After passing through the black stone forest and reaching the foot of the mountain, Qin Mo felt something different.
The previously rugged and steep mountain road has been repaired and leveled, and paved with large stones to form steps that extend all the way to the top of the mountain, winding and twisting.
It can be seen how powerful the collective power is.
There is a large memorial archway at the foot of the mountain with five ancient seal characters "Black and White Mountain Courtyard" inscribed on it. A row of small wooden houses are built next to it, and ten Youyun cavalrymen are on duty day and night.
It is obvious that Black and White Mountain will be Qin Mo's "private territory" from now on, and outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission.
It really has some sect-like style.
After leaving the horses at the foot of the mountain, the three of them climbed up the stairs and the black and white mountain scenery came into view.
How pleasant.
When you reach halfway up the mountain, you will see an antique courtyard hidden among the mountains and green waters, looming and vague, which really gives you a sense of being out of this world.
The villa does not occupy a large area and is not extravagant, but its simplicity exudes a poetic and picturesque atmosphere.
A row of green bamboos was planted in the front yard, and a small pond was dug and planted with lotus flowers. White cranes were playing in the water and red koi could be seen swimming leisurely.
The backyard is a newly opened medicinal garden, which seems a bit deserted and desolate due to the limited number of magical herbs.
What a blessed place for spiritual practice.
In order to build the villa, the great wizard Ji Ye obviously put a lot of thought into it. He did not spend too much money and all the arrangements were very much in line with the style of a monk.
"good!"
After a round, even Qin Mo, who was always demanding, couldn't help but nod in admiration.
Little Diao Chan was extremely happy, running around the yard wildly, sometimes talking to the white crane, sometimes whispering to the koi, and sometimes looking for treasure in the bamboo forest.
There is innocence everywhere.
Qin Mo noticed that there were already six people living in the villa, three men and three women, all of them were eight or nine years old. Some were taking care of Bai He, and some were busy in the medicine garden.
The great wizard saw them and explained, "They are the most talented children in the tribe, and they are here to serve as Taoist children. You can't manage this courtyard by yourself, so if you need anything, just order them around."
Qin Mo glanced at the great wizard and nodded in agreement.
The great wizard laughed awkwardly.
It seemed as if Qin Mo saw through her thoughts at once, and she felt really nervous.
After forming the elixir, Qin Mo's demeanor became even more extraordinary.
The power of heaven is unpredictable!
In fact, the great wizard originally wanted these six children to become Qin Mo's disciples, but after seeing Diao Chan's aptitude and character, he could no longer bring himself to ask them to become his disciples.
“It’s totally unpresentable.”
In this case, they can only settle for the next best thing and leave them in the other courtyard as Taoist children. If they do well, they can occasionally get some guidance from Qin Mo, which would be a great opportunity.
As a great wizard, Ji Ye still has deep feelings for the Heishui clan.
"Let's go to the Windless Cave and take a look?" suggested the great wizard.
"Are there changes there too?" Qin Mo was a little surprised.
It seems that the great wizard has done a lot and is very thoughtful.
The great wizard smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence that the Windless Cave is connected to the underground fire of the Black and White Mountain. I asked someone to arrange it and it can be used to make pills and weapons. I just don't know if it suits your taste."
"oh?"
Qin Mo was really interested now.
To be honest, it is a bit . Especially after the villa is built, Qin Mo can't just leave Diao Chan alone on the mountain, right?
Just when I was worrying about this, the great wizard had already considered it long ago .
Really...
