The Eighty-one Chapter of the Royal Banquet and the Hundred Floors of Chenchang
The phoenix holds the purple edict, the nine gates of the Golden Tower are opened; the luan sings the fairy sound, and the doors of the jade hall are opened.
Although Yao Daoxu and others were monks, they were stunned by the atmosphere of the heavenly family.
Zhang Ji and Li Feiyun could only shake their heads when they saw this scene. On the other hand, Shi Xiang and Chu Jianghan were used to being undisciplined, and they were extremely uncomfortable at the moment.
Song Zhong led the crowd with golden swords and wooden swords to devise ingenious strategies and traveled thousands of miles south to annihilate the White Lotus Sect's main altar, Paradise Island. The leader Shang Jiutian died. A total of seventy-two people who fled were captured alive and brought to the capital in chains. In addition, tens of thousands of the White Tiger Army were wiped out, and the world was shocked for a while.
Emperor Jiajing, Long Yan, was very happy. On the one hand, he sent a judicial officer to deal with the traitors, and on the other hand, he personally conveyed the favor and ordered Guanglu Temple to grant this favor banquet to reward the meritorious officials.
Shi Xiang was a fool. Looking at the fine wine and delicacies in front of him, he couldn't kneel down for a long time. He didn't listen to the prayers and praises recited by others, and he had already secretly looked at the wine vat on the table.
Everyone saw a middle-aged man in Taoist robes walking towards the middle of the banquet with disheveled hair and a smile, followed by two old men with gray beards on the left and right behind him.
Song Zhong took the lead and shouted long live. Everyone no longer dared to look up and watched, and they also shouted long live.
"Today's banquet is all about experts from outside the world, so all these rules and etiquette are exempted! Take a seat! Let the banquet begin!"
Song Zhong took the lead and shouted: "Long live thanks!"
Everyone then kowtowed and took their seats one by one.
Emperor Jiajing, who was wearing Taoist robes, saw that everyone did not dare to move, so he smiled and said: "Come on! Play music and watch the wine!"
With the sound of silk and bamboo, the strong man filled the golden cup with fine wine. When Shi Xiang saw it, he was about to lift it up, but was grabbed by Li Feiyun's sleeve.
Seeing that everyone was still cautious, Emperor Jiajing smiled and said: "Ordinary people, friends and neighbors have helped each other, so they have to invite you to have a drink. Today I am the same, I invite you to have a drink and eat some meat."
Song Zhong, the golden sword, and the wooden sword hurriedly said in unison: "I will thank you for the banquet!"
Emperor Jiajing asked: "Who is Xiao Fan Li, the master of Xianyun Village Shen Village?"
Xiao Fan Li hurriedly got up from his seat and knelt down on the ground, saying, "Long live Shen San!"
Emperor Jiajing said: "You have contributed money and effort to the court these years, I must thank you very much!" Xiao Fan Li kowtowed hurriedly: "I am so frightened!"
Emperor Jiajing came forward with a smile, helped little Fan Li up, and said, "I heard that each of your brothers is good. Can you point out to me which one is Judge Chou?"
Before Xiao Fan Li could point it out, Judge Chou also knelt down on the ground and said: "Long live the report, the common people are right!"
Emperor Jiajing looked at it again and again and said: "I heard that your medical skills are unrivaled in the world. I would like to know whether it is your medical skills that are better or Li Shizhen's."
The judge worriedly replied: "Long live my report, the ordinary people can only occasionally cure menstrual injuries, bone injuries, bruises, and injuries, but they are medical illnesses. Li Taiyi, who hangs a pot to help the world and spreads books and teachings to the world, is a medical man. The ordinary people are not as good as Li Imperial doctor!"
Emperor Jiajing asked again: "According to you, Li Shizhen is the best doctor in the world?" Judge Chou replied: "No!" Seeing that he answered appropriately and skillfully, Jin Dao and Mu Jian were happy for him and listened to him. When he said this again, everyone was puzzled.
The judge worriedly replied: "Both the ordinary people's diseases and the medical skills of Dr. Li are not as good as your Majesty's. Your Majesty rules the nine states and thousands of directions. We, the Ming Dynasty, two capitals and thirteen provinces, and billions of living beings, all depend on Long Live's dedicated efforts and hard work day and night. Long live it." This is a country of medicine. Therefore, long live this world’s most miraculous doctor!”
Emperor Jiajing was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then laughed loudly. After laughing, he nodded and said, "Good! Good! Good!" Then he asked the two gray-bearded men behind him: "Mr. Xu Ge, Mr. Li Ge, what are you doing?" Did you two hear this? All the scholars of Ming Dynasty are hiding among the people."
When the two old ministers Xu Jie and Li Chunfang heard this, they immediately fell to the ground and worshiped, saying: "There are sages in the wild. It is the fault of the ministers and others!"
Emperor Jiajing ignored them, walked up to Golden Sword and Wooden Sword, and said: "I heard that among you brothers, you two divine catchers and the divine doctor Judge Chou dare not use their real names. To show others, yes or no?"
Golden Sword and Wooden Sword's expressions changed drastically when they heard this, and they were hurriedly lying on the ground and did not dare to say a word.
Emperor Jiajing helped the two of them up, raised his head and sighed, "I will give you three national surnames today, and give them the names of Guozhen, Guozhong and Guocheng. What do you three think?"
The three of them were overjoyed and kept thanking Tianen.
Emperor Jiajing looked around the crowd with a smile and said, "Look...you're out of sight, don't be shy when talking to me." After saying that, he asked again: "Who is Zhang Chengwen?"
Zhang Ji stood up from his seat and wanted to worship, but Emperor Jiajing stopped him and said with a smile: "Back then, you traveled thousands of miles to bring me treasures, and you wrote an inscription with Li Feiyun on Dengfeng Tower, which caused the incident of Yang Wentai's impeachment of a traitor. I still remember it fresh." Then he turned to Xu Jiu who was kneeling behind him and smiled: "Mr. Xu Ge, Yan Song's enemy has arrived. If he is still here, do you dare to recognize him or not?"
Behind him, Xu Jie was kneeling on the ground, with no expression on his old face.
Emperor Jiajing said to Zhang Jida: "I heard that you have recently found a new wife, who is a leader in the White Lotus Sect. What is her background?"
Xiao Fan Li and other brothers were shocked after hearing this. They didn't know what to do for a moment. Zhang Ji gritted his teeth and was about to kneel for the second time when Emperor Jiajing stopped him: "No need to kneel, no need to kneel!" After saying this, he laughed again. Several times. Zhang Jizhen didn't know what he meant, so he said nothing.
Jiajing motioned for Zhang Ji to take a seat, turned around and returned to his original position, and suddenly called out: "Come on, Eunuch Qian, you should drink the first glass of wine first."
When everyone saw Eunuch Qian running towards Dilongyi to deliver the edict, he knelt on the ground and was already shaking like chaff. Emperor Jiajing said, "Eunuch Qian, you have worked hard to deliver edicts for thousands of miles, and it is your turn to drink this first glass of wine."
Everyone saw his expression of pain and before they could react, they saw him take the cup and drink it all in one gulp.
Shi Xiang and others all thought to themselves: "Since it is a gift of wine, why are you in such trouble?"
When I went to see him again, Father Qian was already bleeding from his mouth and nose and fell to the ground.
Emperor Jiajing frowned and said, "Someone was nagging in my ears just now, saying that Jianghu warriors are a nuisance to the imperial court. They will kill people and set fires at every turn, and rise up. I suggested that I kill you all with a glass of poisonous wine."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all secretly complained: It is really extremely dangerous at this moment. The White Lotus Sect has just been destroyed, and the imperial court must be wary of the warriors in the world. If he suddenly kills his troops, such a deep palace and forbidden garden will be unstoppable. What should I do if I am disarmed?
Brothers Li Feiyun, Chu Jianghan and all the monks had already broken out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, they had followed the etiquette and not drank first, otherwise they would have been poisoned to death.
Emperor Jiajing turned to glare at Xu Jiu and Li Chunfang who were kneeling behind him, and ordered the eunuchs to say: "Get rid of all these poisonous wines and replace them with good wines that I have hidden for many years."
The eunuchs hurriedly carried down Eunuch Qian's dead body, replaced the wine and stood on both sides.
Emperor Jiajing said to Xu Du and Li Chunfang who were behind him: "Two elders, please propose a toast to the Ming Dynasty's scholars on my behalf." After saying this, he ordered his men to bring two small cups. In front of the tables on both sides, a waiter lifted the wine bottle from the table and poured it for everyone at the same time.
Everyone saw that although Xu Jie and Li Chunfang's wine cups were small, they drank it before everyone else, and they all drank from the same pot. Although they were suspicious, they did not dare not to drink, so they each drank along with them.
When Emperor Jiajing saw that everyone was gradually eating and drinking, he gradually showed a smile, and asked Gao to play the strings, strings and bamboos, and everyone felt at ease.
Emperor Jiajing smiled again and asked: "Who is the Qiankun Yijian Chu Jianghan?" Chu Jianghan saw only one scene, and he was still angry. He stood up, clasped his fists, and replied: "Cao Min Chu Long live Jiang Han!"
Jin Dao, Mu Jian, their brothers, Lu Yunhan, etc. saw that he actually refused to worship, so they hurriedly worried for him.
Emperor Jiajing nodded and said: "I heard that you chased the leader of the demon sect and killed him all the way on the sea. Okay! It turns out that heroes come from young. When it comes to credit, you are the first one!" Chu Jianghan replied loudly: "Thank you. Long live!"
Emperor Jiajing smiled and waved his hand. A eunuch brought a plate and held it in front of Chu Jianghan. Chu Jianghan stretched out his hand and pulled off the red cloth. It was the Zhenyue Sword that had been removed by the imperial army at the entrance.
Emperor Jiajing smiled and said: "Let Li Feiyun tell you about the origin of this sword. Which one is Li Feiyun?"
Jade Flute Sword Li Feiyun knelt on the ground and replied loudly: "More than ten years ago, seven of our brothers were serving as servants under General Yu Dayou. One day, Yu Shuai got his reward, and the Japanese pirates got a priceless treasure and wanted to take it. After Yu Shuai learned about his deal with the Haisha Gang, he sent people to take back this treasure from the Japanese pirates. It was this sword from the pre-Qin Dynasty - the Zhenyue Sword. Yu Shuai said that this is a priceless treasure, and it is the most valuable treasure in the world. If you are not a saint, you cannot bear it, so I sent Brother Zhang and I to go north to the capital to dedicate this treasure to Long Live."
Jiajing nodded and said: "This Zhenyue Sword is the sword of Li Mu, the famous general of the Zhao Kingdom during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. I got this treasure and hid it high in the Circle Qiu Altar."
Everyone was puzzled: Since this sword was hidden in the Circular Qiu Altar, why did it come back to the world and attract all the major factions in the world to compete for it?
Jiajing said to Song Zhong: "Song Qing's family, please tell everyone!"
Song Zhong led the edict and preached loudly: "The Demon Cult has been causing trouble to the world for a long time. From Fangla in the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty BC, there have been troubles and rebellions. In this dynasty, there have also been several rebellions. The demons of the Demon Cult have been hiding in the Ming Dynasty. During the period, they used ghosts and evil arts to confuse people's hearts and secretly colluded to make things bigger. They were a thorn in the side of the imperial court. More than ten years ago, the Jin Yiwei captured Shang Jiutian, the leader of the demon sect in Cangzhou. Unfortunately, after interrogating him for a year, they could not find out who his son Chou Yin was. Later, in desperation, I had no choice but to imprison him in the Shaolin Temple according to the holy order. I petitioned Shang Jiutian several times to kill him. Fortunately, your majesty was as wise as heaven and had foresight, so he was spared so that he could wipe out the demon sect. . Sure enough, two years ago, informants from various places came to report, saying that the remnants of the Demon Sect seemed to have found out the whereabouts of the thief, and were searching for magical weapons and weapons from all over the world in an attempt to rescue him. I reported this matter to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty then ordered me to This Yue-Suppressing Sword was deliberately scattered among the people, in order to use this sword as bait to lure out the demon sect's rebels. I don't want my affairs to be unfavorable, and this sword returned to the world after the demon sect caused chaos in Sichuan and Shu."
Emperor Jiajing nodded slightly and continued: "I ordered Song Zhong, the Jinyi Guard, and two divine catchers from the Six Gates Golden Sword and Wooden Sword to serve as assistants. The elaborate show of catching monsters has been completed to this day." Then he walked forward, picked up the Zhenyue Sword, and said to Chu Jianghan: "Swords are given to martyrs, and red powder is given to beauties. The best sword in the world should be given to the best swordsman in the world. Chu Jianghan, today I I will give this sword to you."
Chu Jianghan didn't expect it, and he was overjoyed. Then he knelt on the ground and took it with both hands. He saw a few more words on the scabbard: "The best sword in the world." He hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, long live!"
When brothers Shen San and Shi Xiang saw that Chu Jianghan had received such a reward, they were all happy for him.
Jiajing also ordered Xu Du and Li Chunfang to keep drinking. They were old and after a few drinks, they were already drunk. Everyone gradually relaxed their appetite and drank for a while.
When the banquet was in full swing, Jiajing said: "This great defeat of the demonic sect is all due to the fact that you shed your blood and devoted your lives to serve the country and pass on the decree. Then each of you will be rewarded with a gold medal for immunity from death." One by one, the powerful men took out the gold medals on a gold plate, and everyone took their own way. After claiming it, I couldn’t stop thanking him.
Jiajing also granted Shaolin, Wudang, and Quanzhen sects a thousand acres of land each, and the monks couldn't stop praising them.
Jiajing changed cups and drank several cups. Suddenly he smiled and asked Lu Yunhan: "Lu Yunhan, I heard that you are still unmarried?" Lu Yunhan hurriedly replied: "Long live my birthday, Lu Yunhan is deeply touched."
Jiajing said: "I am very happy today. I intend to be a matchmaker for some wise men. Do you think it is good?" Song Zhong said hurriedly: "The grace of the Holy One is as high as the sky, but I don't know which one of you here today has this blessing. !”
Jiajing said: "I heard that the daughter of Master Shen of Xianyun Village has not yet been married, so I will give it to Chu Jianghan!" Chu Jianghan's heartbeat quickened after hearing this, and he froze in place because of the heat in his head. He had been kidnapped for a long time. Fan Li pulled him to his knees and couldn't help thanking him.
Jiajing smiled and said: "Lu Yunhan, I heard that recently there is a Shen Qiuyue from the Emei sect who is famous all over the world. You have also left Mount Emei. I will act as a matchmaker for you two and choose a day to get married with Chu Jianghan." Lu Yunhan He was busy kowtowing and thanking Heaven for his grace.
Jiajing said again: "Li Feiyun, I heard that Shang Fengyi from the White Lotus Sect is sincere to you. I will also make the decision today. Can you marry her?" Li Feiyun was happy for Chu Jianghan and Lu Yunhan when he heard this. It was like a bolt from the blue, and I was frozen in my seat for a moment.
Jiajing continued: "Although Shang Fengyi was born in a demon sect, she turned from darkness to light this time and assisted Master Wang in defeating the rebels. She has done a great job. I have ordered extrajudicial mercy to spare her death. You two should behave yourself in the future."
Li Feiyun knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to you." Jiajing smiled and asked him to stand up. However, Li Feiyun knelt down and said: "The common man has already been engaged to someone else, how can he marry someone else and become a heartless person? I hope that your majesty will take back his life and fulfill the common man's wish."
Shen San and Zhang Ji were shocked and broke into cold sweats when they heard this. Jin Dao and Mu Jian secretly cried out and said in their hearts: "Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother! You don't even know what kind of occasion this is, how can I tolerate you as usual?" You are so rude and wanton?" Chu Jianghan knew that his sixth brother Li Feiyun had always been wild and unruly, and now that he saw that he dared to contradict the emperor like this, he admired him even more in his heart.
Emperor Jiajing's face darkened, obviously displeased. Song Zhong shouted: "Li Feiyun, I think you are drunk and talking drunkenly, why don't you thank His Majesty for your grace?"
Li Feiyun sneered and knelt down without answering.
Jiajing asked Xu Du and Li Chunfang in a deep voice: "Two pavilion elders, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can I still take care of the affairs of the court?" Xu Du hurriedly replied: "Is it the king's land in the whole world? Those who lead the troops of the land must not be the king's ministers. Your Majesty is the king and father of my Ming Dynasty, and all the subjects of the world obey your orders."
Jiajing turned to Shen San and Zhang Jidao again: "Master Shen, Mr. Zhang, you two said, do I still have no control over this Jianghu matter?"
Zhang Ji was surprised and said: "Huan live, Li Hong is too drunk and talks nonsense after getting drunk. I hope Long live will forgive him for his reckless words."
Xiao Fan Li was sweating profusely early in the morning, and hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. Li Hong's parents have passed away long ago. Youdao is the eldest brother and his father. I am his adopted brother. So, Accept this marriage for him. Thank you again for the grace of Long Live Heaven."
Jiajing's face was expressionless, and he smiled softly for a long time and said: "Okay! It seems that I can still take care of this Jianghu matter! Now that I am my brother, this marriage is considered a success!"
The three brothers Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him again.
Jiajing said: "Song Zhong. Since you have worked with all the virtuous people for a long time, you and Yousi will handle this matter. As for the place, go to Xianyun Village. On the day of the wedding, you go to congratulate me on my behalf!" Everyone thanked them again. Can't live.
He also ordered the silk and bamboo orchestra to re-enact the music. When Jiajing saw that Xu Jie and Li Chunfang were drunk, he personally raised a glass to persuade them to drink. Everyone was tossed and turned, and they had long lost their appetite for wine, so they had to pretend to be happy. The banquet ended just after sunset.
When the banquet was over, a message came from Jiajing, ordering Wudang Taoist Chongning and Zhang Ji to come to the imperial study to take orders.
Everyone was worried about the two of them. Zhang Ji was already drunk. He looked at the brothers and then at Taoist Chong Ning, confused for a moment. Seeing this, Master Juetong said to the two of them: "I sit in the clouds and travel out of this world, and I don't have a bottle and bowl to carry with me. If you don't talk about the world of the world when you meet people, you are a person who has nothing to do in the world."
Zhang Ji heard that what he was talking about was a poem by Du Yanzhi of the Tang Dynasty, and he knew that Master Tong Tong was profound in Buddhism. This verse must have something to say, but for the moment he could not get the details. When he wanted to ask again, Taoist Chongning bowed to Master Juetong and said, He said: "Thank you, master, for your advice!" After saying that, he followed the strongman and walked away first. Zhang Ji had no choice but to say goodbye to everyone and follow closely.
Everyone exited the palace one by one. Li Feiyun was so drunk that he was carried out of the palace by Chu Jianghan and Shi Xiang, and returned to the reception temple without mentioning it.
Shan said that Zhang Ji and Chong Ning, Taoist priests, were led to the imperial study room by the warrior. The warrior said: "Long live the Lord will meet you two later, please wait a moment." After saying this, he asked the two to kneel down and wait. Then he closed the door and left.
But when they heard the hurried footsteps, the two of them were upset. When they were about to rush out the door, they were already surrounded by people.
Taoist Chong Ning looked at Zhang Ji with doubts on his face, and just as he was about to speak, Zhang Ji took a breath of cold air and said secretly: Could it be that the emperor really wants to get rid of the two of us?
Thoughts were flying in his mind, but he whispered softly: "It's the Eight Trigrams Formation of the Jinyiwei Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger!"
Taoist priest Chong Ning did not panic after hearing this, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhang, please don't say anything later, then you and I will be fine!" Zhang Ji failed to understand for a while, but when he wanted to ask again, he heard two people Already pushed through the door.
"Hey hey hey! You two have been waiting for a long time! Please get up, please get up!" A white-faced old eunuch and Song Zhong came in one after another, and closed the door again.
The two stood up slowly, neither saying a word.
The old eunuch said with a smile: "Long live the Lord, I have a few words. I specially sent our family to ask. If you two reply, you can go back."
Taoist priest Chong Ning bowed and said, "I don't dare! I am a savage from the mountains. I am really frightened to be so favored by the Holy One." Zhang Jiye said, "May I ask my father-in-law, what is the Holy One's mission?"
The father-in-law coughed dryly, rolled his eyes at Zhang Ji, turned away and stopped talking.
Zhang Ji felt that his words were inappropriate, he hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Cao Min Village is rude and rude, I made a mistake, I hope you will forgive me."
The father-in-law raised the corner of his mouth, snorted coldly, waved his hand and said: "That's all!" Then he turned his head, walked to the side, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Come on, let's watch the tea!"
The strong man presented a golden plate with two cups of fragrant tea in it. The gentleman said: "Long live the Lord, I have a destiny to say that you two are today's masters. I specially give you two cups of fragrant tea to sober you up. You two, Give thanks!”
Zhang Ji and Chong Ning, two Taoist priests, knelt down to express their gratitude and took the tea. They felt the fragrance of the top quality tea hit their nostrils. The father-in-law asked the two of them to sit down, and he also sat down with Song Zhong. The two of them thanked each other and sipped the tea.
When Song Zhong saw that the two of them had finished two cups of fragrant tea, he asked someone to remove the cups and said: "I am a martial artist, so I will tell you straight away: Taoist Chongning is the direct descendant of Wudang Xuanmen orthodoxy. As far as I know, although Mr. Zhang He is not a monk, but his magical skills also come from the Wudang lineage. One of them lives in the immortal mountain and the other is in the secular world. They can fully represent the two lines of the Wudang sect, the sect and the lay family. They must know the affairs of the Wudang sect very well."
Zhang Ji and Chong Ning, Taoist priests, did not dare to answer the conversation easily. They only listened attentively without saying a word.
Song Zhongdao: "The Holy Master ordered Eunuch Chen and my subordinates to ask you two about a person. If you two know his whereabouts, you must tell him so!"
Chong Ning replied: "I wonder which master you two want to inquire about?"
Song Zhong raised his head and said slowly: "Zhang - San - Feng!"
Taoist Chong Ning stood up from his seat in shock and stammered: "Zhang...Zhenren Zhang?"
"It's Zhang Sanfeng, Master Zhang!" Song Zhong raised his voice and confirmed again.
The father-in-law also echoed: "Our current Long Live Master is a star king from the sky who has descended to earth. He has long admired Master Zhang's mysterious power and has been looking for him diligently."
Taoist priest Chong Ning let out a long sigh and replied for a long time: "According to the legend of our masters, Zhang Zhenren was born in the seventh year of Chunyou of the Song Dynasty, and he became an immortal in the Tianshun period of this dynasty. Although there are various legends about Zhang Zhenren's appearance in later generations, I’m afraid it’s not true!”
The father-in-law's expression changed after hearing this, and he let out a long sigh that lasted for a long time.
Song Zhongzhen said: "You two, let's not talk about whether Master Zhang is alive or not for now, but it is probably impossible to fake that Master Zhang has become an immortal, right?"
After all, Zhang Ji was not a monk. He never cared about becoming an immortal and remained silent. After hearing this, Taoist Priest Chong Ning laughed bitterly and shook his head.
Song Zhongdao said: "Since the founding of the sect by Zhenren Zhang, the Wudang Sect has surpassed the Shaolin sect passed down by Bodhidharma. Zhenren Zhang's technique of attaining enlightenment and becoming an immortal must have been passed down. Both of them are masters of the Wudang sect. Masters in the secular family must also know this magic? As ministers, we should use our sacred hearts to share your worries. If you two have the magic of attaining immortality passed down by Master Zhang, you should take the initiative to offer your talents. yes!"
Zhang Ji was furious after hearing this: "What a foolish king! I just saw you poisoning eunuchs and slandering traitors, rewarding meritorious people with great rewards, giving both kindness and power, and winning the hearts of heroes. I thought you were a wise master, but you turned out to be still a wise master." Foolish king! I ignored the government affairs and appointed treacherous ministers, which caused the world to be in turmoil. If it weren't for so many hermits and masters to clean up the demon sect, how could the power of the court have succeeded? Now that the demons are wiped out, you don't want to repent, how can you still Thinking about attaining enlightenment, becoming an immortal, and becoming immortal, it’s really pitiful that our brothers and so many people with lofty ideals are so passionate that they spill their blood for a fool like you!” Although he was so angry that he was in the deep palace, he couldn’t. He just suppressed his anger and never said a word.
But I saw Taoist Master Chong Ning speaking slowly: "Your Majesty's intention, the old Taoist already knows it. I carry with me several scriptures written by Zhenren Zhang. They are all written down by me from the original, word for word, and I present them to you." Go with the Holy One." After saying this, he took out five or six scriptures from his arms and offered them with both hands.
The father-in-law reached out and took it with a smile on his face. He looked at the titles of the books one by one. Two of them were "Golden Elixir Direct Points" and "Golden Elixir Secrets".
The father-in-law called for these books to be sent to Emperor Jiajing. As he clapped his hands, the powerful man came in with a bottle of pills in a golden tray. Song Zhong said: "Long live my instructions, if you two are willing to tell me something useful, I will reward you with a bottle of Li Shizhen's secret tonic. It is the most effective in replenishing qi and blood." Taoist priest Chong Ning reached out to take it and kowtowed. Thank you.
The father-in-law smiled and said to Taoist Chong Ning: "The Immortal can go back now. I hope the Immortal will keep his mouth shut!" Taoist Chong Ning said yes, said goodbye, and was led out by the powerful man.
The father-in-law, Song Zhong, and Zhang Ji were the only three people left in the imperial study. Outside, it was the Jin Yiwei who had set up the Eight Trigrams Formation of Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger.
Song Zhongdao: "Mr. Zhang, you are also a direct descendant of Wudang. Long live I humbly ask you for advice on how to become an immortal and live forever. What secret skills do you have to offer?"
The drunkenness seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. Zhang Ji felt the effects of the wine and finally couldn't help but sneered and said: "The common people are just a country man. How can he know the art of cultivating immortals and immortality?"
Song Zhong was very displeased, so he forced himself to smile and said: "I heard that you learned from your master a magical skill that can penetrate all the heavens and the earth. His Seventy-three Paths and Nine Turns of Wind Palm even made me admire him so much that I fell into admiration. I wonder what I call my revered master? Where are you now? Will you be able to achieve immortality?"
Zhang Jidao: "Master has told me not to mention the name of the old man to outsiders. Please forgive me for the inconvenience of telling others!"
Song Zhong gritted his teeth angrily and said "You..." without any further words.
The father-in-law interrupted: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang may be able to remember something if he thinks about it carefully!"
Zhang Ji said loudly through drunkenness: "Since ancient times, there has been no magic of immortality. In order to seek the medicine of immortality, Qin Shihuang sent the Xu family across the ocean to no avail. In order to seek the magic of immortality, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frequently crossed the sea to visit Penglai and summoned ghosts to refine elixirs. , have you ever obtained immortality? It’s just a waste of money and money. It is said that Song Taizu and Chen Tuan had a close relationship, and it is not known that Song Taizu learned any immortal magic. In the previous court, Genghis Khan asked Changchun for immortality, but in exchange for stopping killing and education Advice from the people. It can be seen that there is no magic in immortality in the world! The current emperor's civil and military skills are not as good as those of Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty, and not as good as Song Taizu and Genghis Khan. I’m asking for advice on how to become immortal and live forever. If you talk about what ordinary people don’t know about mystical cultivation, even if there are techniques to breathe in and out to replenish energy and prolong life, I won’t vomit a single word!”
The father-in-law shivered when he heard this, and Song Zhong was dumbfounded. The father-in-law screamed: "Thief! How brave! Why don't you take the corpse into pieces with me!"
Song Zhong shouted: "I call you a bold thief. You know where this is and how dare you act so wildly? Do you know who is outside the door?"
Zhang Ji felt very happy as soon as he vomited, and his whole body was already boiling with blood. Who cares about the palace?
Song Zhong was furious and slowly drew out the sword from his waist. Just as he was about to give an order to order someone to take it, he suddenly returned the sword quickly and put it back into its sheath. He sneered and said, "There is no need for us to take action for the one named Zhang. There are twelve of them." Within a few hours, I will keep you from bleeding to death!"
The father-in-law also laughed sharply and said: "That's right! Who are we? We don't have the right to fight against this wild dog!"
Song Zhong sneered and said: "Zhang, do you feel that the alcohol is getting stronger and stronger? Haha... That's right! Let me tell you the truth: the cup of tea I just drank contained the most strange poison in the world that can penetrate the intestines. Bone fragrance, and the antidote is the bottle of elixir secretly prepared by Dr. Li. There are only two pills in the world. Even if Dr. Li is invited again, there is no way he can get it without the medicinal materials and stuff provided by Dr. Li. Now. Even if you are Daluo Jinxian, you will never survive. Hahaha...hahahaha"
The father-in-law also said: "Long live my father, I used this thing to scare you. If you really don't know the secret technique, I will give you the antidote. What a pity! You are a bitch born with such a mean bone. You are seeking your own death! How can we give you the antidote when you insult your father like this? If the medicine kills you today, even if Long Live Lord asks, we still have something to say!"
With that said, he shouted: "Come on!" The strong man pushed the door in with the tray in his hand. Song Zhong grabbed the bottle and with a force of five fingers, the bottle and the elixir inside were instantly crushed to pieces.
The father-in-law said softly: "Send him away! Don't let him die here, lest he pollute the holy place of the palace."
Zhang Ji was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. Half of the alcohol had dissipated. He thought that this was the inner holy land, so he didn't dare to make any mistakes, so he had to follow the strong man out.
"Wait a minute!" The father-in-law suddenly stopped and said, "If you dare to reveal anything about today's events, I will call the orphans and widows behind you, brother Jinlan, and none of your old friends." He said to Song Zhong: " Mr. Song, let’s go to Long Live Resurrection now.”
Zhang Ji stumbled around, followed by several waves of warriors, and then walked out of the palace gate. When he looked up, it was already getting dark.
The strongman followed the previous order and summoned the official sedan. Zhang Ji sat in the sedan and hurriedly performed Xuan Gong. After another bump, he felt dizzy and said to himself: What a powerful poison, compared to the Goddess Cave in Gushe Mountain. The soul-chasing pill that ordered Judge Luo Huan to come in was even worse.
He hurriedly stopped the sedan chair, forced himself to spit out a big mouthful of filth, and suddenly felt much refreshed.
In a blink of an eye, they were not far from the reception temple. Suddenly the sedan stopped. A powerful man came forward to report that there was an official sedan blocking the way. Zhang Ji opened the sedan curtain and saw a group of officials surrounding the sedan. Wandering around.
Zhang Ji rushed forward and pushed aside the crowd to take a look, and saw that the person in the sedan was Taoist Priest Chongning of Wudang. Taoist Chong Ning's face was pale, and he was sitting cross-legged and meditating silently using Xuan Gong to adjust his breath.
Zhang Ji didn't dare to disturb him, and the warrior who was waiting for him hurriedly replied: "The sedan came here, and the immortal coughed and screamed. We thought something was wrong, so we stopped the sedan to check. Hey, he's fine. He sat up. Here we come." Zhang Jizhi knew that he was poisoned, so he hurriedly covered it up and said: "Taoist Chong Ning got drunk at the royal banquet, let him rest for a while, and no one is allowed to disturb him!"
The escort knew that these two men were heroes of the Great Demon Sect. They had just returned from the imperial banquet, and the Chief of Ceremonies ordered them to be sent back in an official sedan. Who dared to provoke them, so they had to wait aside.
Zhang Ji saw that Taoist Chong Ning was doing his exercises and adjusting his breath and did not dare to disturb him. He also saw the medicine bottle at his feet and knew that he had taken the antidote, which made him feel a little at ease. After a while, I saw Taoist Chong Ning was sweating profusely and his complexion improved, and I was convinced that his persuasion was the antidote. After a long time, Taoist Chong Ning woke up, looked at Zhang Ji and shook his head, and just sighed: "It's so dangerous!"
The poison in Zhang Ji's body was not resolved, so he had to follow Taoist Chongning back to the reception temple.
All the brothers, Lu Yunhan and others were waiting, and felt relieved when they saw the two of them coming back. Everyone hurriedly asked why the Holy Spirit had summoned him, but Taoist Chongning excused himself by saying that the emperor admired Wudang Taoism and asked both Taoists and lay people for advice.
Everyone laughed after hearing this: "The emperor can just ask Taoist Master Chongning for advice. Zhang Jifei is a monk. How can he know the Taoist scriptures?" Everyone laughed for a while and went to rest.
Zhang Ji returned to the room and was already dizzy. He hurriedly ordered Xiaoruo to call someone to prepare for a bath. He also asked Xiaoruo to fetch a porcelain urn and prepare a bucket of water.
Xiaoruo just said he was happy and drunk and didn't care, but when he saw Zhang Ji urinating half of the jar, the smell immediately hit his nostrils, he thought something was wrong, and when he hurriedly ran to take a look, the contents of the jar were red with blood.
Xiaoruo screamed and reached out to help Zhang Ji turned around, smiled and said softly: "Don't make any noise! It's just a little poison that was conspired by someone, and I vomited most of it. It's no big deal." The anxious beauty turned pale and she burst into tears.
Zhang Jiwei said: "It doesn't matter, my third brother's medical skills are unparalleled in the world, and Master Juetong is here. With them two here, my life is not in serious danger." Xiao Ruo hurriedly helped him take off his clothes, and Zhang Ji got into the hot water. During the process, he immediately started meditating and doing his exercises, while Xiaoruo stood aside and waited anxiously.
After half a night, Zhang Ji came out of the bathtub, chuckled a few times, and said, "I'm sorry, Madam, I'm fine now!" After saying that, he picked up the bucket of water and drank half of it. Xiaoruo cried with joy, and washed his whole body with the remaining water, wiped it clean, and changed into new clothes. Looking at the water in the bathtub, it has been dyed blood red.
The couple quietly poured water and tidied up. It was already the second half of the night. When they turned off the lights and went to sleep, they saw the lights in Master Juetong's house across the way also turned out.
Xiao Ruoqi said: "It's strange, it's so late, why did Master Juetong take a rest?" Zhang Ji smiled and said: "Master Juetong is so smart. Maybe he noticed it early and saw that I was fine, so he just wanted to take a rest!"
Xiaoruo snuggled into his arms and asked softly: "Who plotted against you? What kind of poison was used?" Zhang Ji replied: "The one plotting against me is naturally my enemy...the poison used is called intestinal penetration and bone erosion. The fragrance is the most toxic in the world, but it melts in the mouth and disappears when there is blood. It can only poison people once. It is not like the Soul-Chasing Pill, which can only be excreted from the body. As long as it sticks to the body sweat of the poisoned person, it can kill people..." Before he finished speaking, he was already snoring like thunder.
