Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Gourd opened his eyes and pointed to the sky and swore: "Don't believe it, what I said is absolutely true.
This matter was told to me by Eunuch Shang, who is from my hometown.
He was present at that time, saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, not to mention how dare he make up such a thing? "
"Then according to you, this person asked for the rain, so what happened to Master Wuliang?" Youzhu asked.
"Him? What else can he do? Go back to his Taoist temple and become a tortoise." When Hulu said this, he snorted coldly and said, "Besides making mysteries in the palace, what else has he done in the past few years?
I have never been able to make an elixir, and I always say that someone in the palace has violated a taboo. Because of this, I don’t know how many people have been affected.
I'm always on tenterhooks every day, for fear of accidentally breaking a taboo.
Even though he prayed for rain, he couldn't get it, and he even broke the treasure, which shows that he has no real ability.
At first, ministers in the previous dynasty signed a letter, saying that he was just a charlatan who played tricks and a magician who played tricks on others. Now it seems that he has not been wronged. "
In fact, there are many people in this palace who have endless resentment in their hearts, but they didn't dare to speak out before.
"By the way, where did that expert come from? Did he stay?" Danyue asked with great interest.
"It's really strange to say that the expert prayed for rain and revealed Wuliang's true face.
But when the rain comes down, he will leave. It was Eunuch Shang who did his best to keep him, and at the same time ordered someone to report to the emperor immediately.
I thought what would happen if this master left and the emperor wanted to see him again? "
"Then has the emperor met him?" Youzhu asked.
"Of course your Majesty wants to see him, but this expert refuses to enter the palace. He said that if your Majesty has anything to ask, he can write it down on paper, but he can only ask three questions." Hulu said, "And to your Majesty Because he prayed for rain, he was rewarded with gold, jewels and shells without even looking at it.
And he scattered all these belongings to the poor, seriously treating money like dung! "
"Oh! This is the real master of the world!" Danyue sighed, "Indifferent to fame and fortune, free and unrestrained, like a dragon that sees its beginning but never its end."
"It goes without saying that people don't admire their behavior like this?" Hulu said, giving a thumbs up.
The rest of the people were also chattering among themselves.
Only Xue Hengzhao didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Others regarded this incident as an anecdote or a miracle, and regarded that person as an outsider. Only she knew that this was just a bigger conspiracy.
Shrouded in the conspiracy of the theft of lapis lazuli and the suicide of the eunuch in charge of Fengyu Tower.
Liu Hu committed suicide. Liang Jing felt strange, but could not think of the real reason.
That's because he didn't know about the theft of the lapis lazuli from Longscale Pavilion.
Xue Hengzhao could see more than him because she knew more than Liang Jing.
At this point, although Xue Hengzhao did not fully understand the entire situation, he was able to see through it.
This bureau was set up around Immortal Wuliang, with the purpose of pushing him off the altar and away from the emperor's control.
Because his position is too important.
The emperor was obsessed with Taoism and desired immortality.
He almost obeyed Wuliang's words.
If someone can overthrow him and replace him, that person will only enjoy more respect and have greater power.
To overthrow Wuliang, there must be a suitable opportunity.
This opportunity is to open an altar to pray for rain.
The people in Yangze Palace were bribed to steal the lapis lazuli in order to prevent Wuliang from praying for rain.
And that Liu Hu was in charge of Fengyu Tower, where the Fengyujian was also a magic weapon for praying for rain.
That thing was too big to steal, so I simply broke it.
Xue Hengzhao guessed that something was smeared on it. It would not be visible for a while, but over time it would corrode the mirror surface.
The purpose of doing this is the same as stealing lapis lazuli.
The two eunuchs who died, Pi Kun and Liu Hu, whether they committed suicide or committed suicide, were all trying to silence themselves.
And that so-called expert was naturally the candidate arranged to replace Wuliang.
He shocked everyone with his skills as soon as he appeared, but Xue Hengzhao knew that it was just a trick and a trick.
And his refusal to face the saint was just a hard-to-get trick to increase his worth.
As for praying for rain itself, Xue Heng said it was not suitable for such things.
But I also heard Master say that Taoism has its own school, 70% of which are just things to fool people, but 30% of them are true, and praying for rain is one of them.
Therefore, she believed that both Wuliang and this master who emerged from the sky were well versed in Taoism and had certain abilities.
But even so, they still couldn't live forever, let alone help the emperor live forever.
But they will eventually use this as bait to fish for glory, fame and fortune.
Ultimately, this is a scam.
It only depends on whether the person who cheats is clever or not.
The only thing that Xue Hengzhao didn't see clearly now was who in the palace was working as an internal agent for that person?
But it is certain that this person is very ambitious.
She has two candidates in mind, but she hasn't finalized them yet.
Sure enough, within a few days, the palace was full of rumors about the great man's deeds.
Some said that he meditated on a high platform and did not eat or drink for seven days and seven nights, but his face was still glowing.
Others said that a woman came to him holding a dying child, and he only reached out and touched the child's head.
The child immediately opened his eyes, sat up from his mother's arms, and jumped to play.
Some people even said that he had seen this master when he was seven or eight years old. At that time, there was a flood in the river. It was this master who raised his sword and killed the dragon in the water, so that the water did not flood.
But now that he is over seventy years old, that expert is still as young and handsome as before.
It is like this in the palace, but it can only be worse outside the palace. Many people came here just to catch a glimpse of his grace.
At the same time, various scandals about Wuliang were also exposed.
Some people say that he pretends to be a fairy on the surface, but in fact he eats, drinks, whores, and gambles, doing everything wrong.
There is a secret room in the Taoist temple where he is, and there are two young women who are as beautiful as flowers and jade.
Some people say that he doesn't know how to make alchemy at all, but he uses it to make money, most of which goes into his own pocket.
Others say that his identity as a Taoist priest is also fake.
He was originally a little beggar living on the street. He stole the clothes of a Taoist priest. After wearing them, he accidentally became a true Taoist priest.
Wuliang had been in this palace for three years, and many people had resentments against him.
Now that he has fallen off the altar, he will naturally end up with a broken body.
Even the truly loyal people can't escape the end of being drowned in saliva, not to mention Wuliang itself has problems.
All this was expected by Xue Hengzhao.
In fact, she was happy to see the results.
The snipe and the clam are about to fight. Isn't it wonderful to have some free time and be a fisherman watching the battle?
