After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

Ni Yangzhou was unable to come back quickly this time.

Collecting herbs was just a side job, he had other things he wanted to do.

Ni Yangzhou called together the top twenty Taoist boys from the Qing Dynasty, assigned them tasks, and asked them to handle all matters in the temple while he was away.

This included burning blisters on the medicine boys' bodies and ensuring the life of the Second Prince. When leaving the temple, they had to follow everyone to avoid trouble.

He also called Qingyi to Qingwu separately. These people were the older and more stable ones in the temple.

Before, I followed Taoist Yuanjia and called him my master, but I was a commoner with ordinary talent and no hope of becoming an immortal. Following him into the Astronomical Observatory was much better than making a living on my own outside.

I am grateful in my heart, so I am very reliable.

Ni Yangzhou divided the responsibilities. Qing Yi was in charge, Qing Er collected the books commonly used by students and sent them to Min Liu, and had them recite them for an hour every day, Qing San led everyone to practice some basic Taoist exercises to strengthen their bodies, Qing Si was in charge of diet, and Qing Wu, who was the closest in age, was responsible for taking care of Min Liu alone.

There is no other task, just chat more.

Ni Yangzhou felt that he had opened a small stargazing school, where only children were teaching other children.

As a relative of his, Min Liu also had a personal tutor.

Before leaving, Ni Yangzhou went to the Second Prince's palace.

The boy was eating fruit in the yard, looking a little bored, but luckily there was little Guizi, and the two seemed to be talking to each other.

Ni Yangzhou approached, and the attendants reported repeatedly, and Liu Zining shut up.

"I need to go out recently. If you need anything, please call Qingyi. The Second Prince is here. Please take care of your mood first."

Liu Zining nodded, looking like he didn't want to talk.

Xiao Guizi was kneeling beside him and secretly touched the boy's leg.

"Then...Have a safe journey."

The young man said this, and actually felt a lot more relieved when he heard that Master Cheng Wang was leaving.

Ni Yangzhou nodded and looked at Xiao Guizi who lowered his head respectfully. The relationship between the master and servant seemed to have eased.

Ni Yangzhou said no more, walked out of the bedroom directly and left the Observatory.

-------------------------------------

The necklace made of colorful stones seemed to have a soul in the sound of the erhu, shining with dazzling brilliance as the girl danced; the gladiators collided with all their strength amid the cheers of the crowd, and the clanging sounds of the hard helmets on their shoulder blades were like the sound of metal and stone breaking; a falcon, accompanied by a bird whistle, took off from the leather wrapped around its master's arm, and its wings swept over the faces of various ethnic groups with high eyes and deep noses, and soared straight into the sky.

Ni Yangzhou, dressed in green Taoist robes, rode a horse for many days and finally arrived at this small border market.

Following the path in his memory and passing through the bustling crowd, Ni Yangzhou saw a Han Chinese man with a full beard outside a Mongolian yurt.

The wind on the Kareng grassland has never been gentle. It sweeps in from nowhere, carrying with it the cold current and the smell of grass, impacting all upright objects above the ground.

Whether it is the tall trees on the plain or the people standing alone.

Ni Yangzhou's hair covered his eyebrows and eyes, but his clear jaw allowed the squatting Han man to recognize him at once:

"Xiaocheng, you've grown so big."

The unkempt man stood up, but only to the level of Ni Yangzhou's shoulders.

It was this person who was a talented scholar in the imperial city who had won the top three places in the imperial examinations, was promoted four times in five years when he was young, served as prime minister for more than twenty years, and had disciples all over the world.

It was also when the current emperor ascended the throne that the death row prisoner who should have been beheaded in the autumn ten years ago was charged with treason.

But he was secretly rescued by the nosy Yuan Jia.

This was the last person he was looking for.

Ni Yangzhou doesn't understand or teach about officialdom and court affairs, so he'll find someone who can teach.

First, he went to see the old eunuch who was living out his days in the imperial city, then he went to the neighboring province to invite a former general who was now running a pork shop and whose grave should have grass three feet high, and now he added a former prime minister.

The masters of the rebel squad have gathered together.

Looking back now, Ni Yangzhou felt that Taoist Yuanjia might have already calculated everything.

In the memory, the master traveled around and helped others, perhaps he was paving the way for his future apprentice.

I don’t know if I will have the chance to thank Master Yuanjia in person in the future.

Ni Yangzhou had a hunch that perhaps they would meet again in the future.

Ni Yangzhou bowed his hands and saluted. Before he could open his mouth, the other party spoke:

"Let's go."

Ni Yangzhou followed behind.

"It's no good going back to riding a horse."

Old Zhang looked at the tall and handsome horse.

"I got sick when I was young and can't ride anymore. I'm afraid that after all this bumpy ride back here, I'll just be left with a skeleton."

"Do you know why I want to see you?"

The old man limped slowly towards the place where the carriage was rented.

"What else could it be? I've heard that Yuanjia has ascended to heaven. You are the only one left in this world, and you can't solve the problem. Why do you have to come to an old man like me?"

"It's just some things that will lead to your death."

"It just so happens that I am tired of living like this."

Ni Yangzhou looked at the old man who was disabled but walked calmly.

"I just need a teacher."

"Who to look for? It's not you."

Ni Yangzhou said: "A child."

The old man looked back at Ni Yangzhou, then looked up at the sky and smiled.

"Let's go—let's go—"

It was a tiring journey all the way.

Old people cannot withstand the hard work. Even though Ni Yangzhou was picking some herbs along the way to help Mr. Zhang recuperate, the journey could not be fast.

When Mr. Zhang fell asleep in the carriage and the road was flat, Ni Yangzhou would turn the Fengxing Pill into water and give the horse a few sips.

After such a tense journey, we finally returned to the imperial city just one month after our departure.

When I left, the branches were withered and the leaves were broken, when I returned, the buds were just beginning to bloom.

At the foot of the imperial city, Ni Yangzhou only needed to show a little of the Taoist robe with the logo of the Star Observation Temple to enter the gate unhindered.

In a sense, the emperor had no reservations about stargazing.

Ni Yangzhou drove directly back to the temple with Mr. Zhang.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Qing Yi running towards the corridor with an anxious look on his face.

Ni Yangzhou felt something was wrong and spoke out to stop them:

"Qingyi, what's the matter?"

The Taoist boy, who was running with sweat all over his face, turned around suddenly and saw that the Taoist who had been out for a long time had finally returned. His face was happy at first, but then he turned anxious again:

"Master, you are back just in time. Let's go to the back hall and take a look!"

"Qingwu just came over and said that Min Liu was pushed into the water by the Second Prince!"
