"It's just that the world belongs to me, Dayan, after all. Changjing is also the capital of my Dayan. Even the gods cannot cause chaos in Changjing. I think the ministers will definitely talk about this matter in the court tomorrow. Chang Taiwei is He is a relative of the former emperor, and the Imperial Preceptor thinks..." The emperor finally turned to look at the Imperial Preceptor beside him, "What should I do?"
"I think that when the court starts tomorrow, Wu Dewei will also find out the whole story."
"That strange person who made alchemy..."
"Pindao has sent someone to look for him."
"I wonder what the Imperial Master thinks about this?"
"Pindao is a little bit emotional."
"What emotion?"
"It is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death. But in order to save his life, a noble captain was manipulated by strange people and strangers. He lost his life without knowing it. It is really ridiculous."
"The old lieutenant has lost his head."
"Does Your Majesty know about this evil art?"
"Appreciate further details."
"In the first two days, the person who has been subjected to the technique will feel that he has returned to his original state and his body has improved. Even though he has been paralyzed in bed, he can still walk on the ground. But soon the technique will fail and the body will gradually decay, and it will be difficult for the person who has been subjected to the technique to realize it. If you feel that you are dead or believe that you are dead, you will feel that there is something wrong with your body and ask a doctor to see you. The most serious and stubborn case will be until the body is completely decomposed and unable to move, and the family considers it dead and puts it in a coffin. , only when you hear the cries of your family can you know that you are dead and your soul can be freed. The whole process can be described as excruciating."
"So terrifying?"
"There is something even more terrifying." The Imperial Master smiled. "After someone's body rotted, their hearing disappeared. However, they were neither humans nor ghosts. They couldn't hear any sound. They didn't know the reason. They just felt that they were trapped. I have fallen into a place where there is no light or sound forever, and I don’t know how many years it will take before I can be freed.”
"So, that one also saved Lieutenant Chang."
"That's okay."
"Taoism also has good and evil..."
"Tao and Dharma don't have it, people do."
"wonderful."
The emperor walked slowly.
The conversation seemed to be about something else, but in fact the Imperial Master had informed him of his attitude.
The emperor walked a few more steps and still said:
"I have something to ask the Imperial Master."
"Why come and ask for advice? Your Majesty just said it's okay."
"I have millions of elite soldiers in Dayan. All the famous generals have the ability to slay demons and ghosts. Chen Ziyi can scare little devils with his portrait and reputation alone. There are thousands of experts in Juxian Mansion. The civil court is also full of capable people. All the famous mountains and temples The palace also respects me as the lord of the world, and a person like the Imperial Master who strategizes and knows astronomy and geography can be compared to the immortals of Fulong Temple?"
"Fulong Temple is inherited from ancient times. It has been blessed by heaven and has walked in the world for generations. Unless the people are in dire straits, it rarely interferes with human affairs. At this time, Dayan is strong, so why should your majesty worry about Fulong Temple?"
"I just heard that Fulong Temple is called an immortal, and I have also heard of many deeds of this immortal, so I can't help but be curious."
"Ah……"
The Imperial Master smiled.
We have known this emperor for a long time and have assisted him for many years, so we naturally understand each other.
This emperor likes to open up new territories, and poets often refer to him as Emperor Wu. When he hears about an unknown small country, he will first care about how many troops it has. Now when he meets a monk at the pinnacle of human nature, he naturally thinks the same way.
To put it bluntly, he has a strong and aggressive heart.
It seems that this heart has not become peaceful with age.
The Imperial Master thought for a while and then said:
"The abilities of those who practice Taoism are ever-changing, and some are more profound than the other. Those who have cultivated to a high level will be hard to be harmed by worldly force. Although there are thousands of 'experts' in Juxian Mansion, half of them are strangers in the world, and the other half are just ordinary people. They are practitioners in ordinary palaces and temples. Even if there are occasional outstanding ones, how can they compare with the human immortals of Fulong Temple?" The national master said and smiled ashamedly, "As for Pindao, Luming Mountain where Pindao is located Fengtian Guan only teaches astronomy, geography, war manuals, and various classics on how to conduct the world. It follows the path of a staff strategist. At most, it only knows some calculation and divination skills. How can it dare to compare with the descendants of Fulong Guan?"
"Is it really that powerful?"
"I heard that the descendants of Fulong Temple are different from generation to generation, each with their own strengths, but no matter which path they take, they are all the best in the world."
"I have heard about this." The emperor nodded, "In the early years of this dynasty, there was a man who was good at slaying monsters and gods. Nearly a hundred years ago, Taoist Tiansuan was said to be able to see five hundred years later. I wonder what this man is good at. ?”
"I don't even know."
"The Imperial Master also doesn't know?"
"I don't know." The Imperial Master shook his head and paused, "But this man spent one night and a year on Yunding Mountain and made rain in Changjing to nourish all things. I have never heard of such an immortal ability. "
"well……"
The emperor sighed.
"People have human nature, rats have their own way, immortals have their immortal way, and gods have their divine way. The senior Fulongguan who helped start the dynasty, even if he killed gods and demons, he didn't have the ability to sweep thousands of armies and dominate the country, let alone Your Majesty is the co-owner of the world and the emperor of the ages. Your Majesty has your own ability to govern the country, secure the people, and safeguard the world's prosperity. Why should you follow other people's paths and compare yourself with others?"
"No."
"What does that mean?"
"The older I get, the more I want to put aside these tedious government affairs, practice Taoism and refine elixirs, and pursue eternal life and freedom. However, I have to be tied up by state affairs, and I can't help feeling envious."
"Your Majesty, this is an opportunity." The Imperial Master suggested at the right time, "If Your Majesty wants to have a long conversation with this person, you can invite him to the palace at this time, but I don't know if he will agree."
"How to invite me?"
The emperor turned to look at the Imperial Preceptor.
"After all, this is Changjing. At the feet of the emperor, although the man has great magical powers and punishes evil and promotes good, he did not inform the court, which is really wrong." The imperial master said, "But having said that, Chang Taiwei and his son relied on I have no royal status, so how can I not despise the authority of the king? Offend the immortals? Isn't it sinful? Due to emotion and reason, I should go find him and find out the truth."
These words made the emperor very satisfied.
"Speaking of it, Fulong Temple has many connections with our royal family. Taizu was helped by Fulong Temple to found the dynasty and the country was established. Emperor Zhongzong was also helped by Fulong Temple to be able to revive the country. Due to emotions and reasons, I should hold a banquet. I should be grateful to the immortal master of Fulong Temple. But I didn’t expect that there would be such a lawless person in the capital based on his status. It is also my fault and I am unworthy of the founder of Fulong Temple."
"Your Majesty is serious..."
"I would like to ask the Imperial Master to go on my behalf and invite the Immortal Master to come to the palace for a talk. I can also apologize to the Immortal Master and talk over wine. Wouldn't it be nice?"
"However, this person is indifferent by nature..."
"National Master, please remember to explain, I will not force you."
"I know it."
"Tomorrow's court..."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. That Lieutenant Chang died a long time ago. The fellow Taoists at Fulongguan helped him escape the sea of suffering as soon as possible. As for Chang Yin, he was lawless and should have been punished long ago. There are many sensible people in the court, at most Some princes and nobles who were often lawless in the past were afraid that something like this would happen to them one day, so they would jump out and ask the Ministry of Punishment to arrest someone, and I would naturally refute it."
"I am really lucky to have a national teacher."
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
After a while, the imperial master said goodbye and left.
…
The day passed and nothing happened.
It’s pretty much what Song You thought.
First of all, Fulong Temple has a close relationship with the Dayan royal family.
But then again, which dynasty does Fulongguan have no connection with? The previous dynasty that Fuyang Taoist helped Taizu of this dynasty defeat was not the new dynasty that another patriarch helped to establish? Maybe many years later, when the corrupt emperor of Dayan becomes fatuous, the people are in dire straits, and the world is divided and heroes rise together, another descendant of Fulongguan walks down the mountain, feeling that it is time to change the world, and he will help another person establish a new dynasty.
But no matter what, Fulongguan still has a feeling of helping the Dayan royal family.
Secondly, this matter is because the Taiwei Mansion is rude.
What's more, the fact that the powerful people in Changjing City are so domineering is not a problem of Song You, but a problem of the imperial court.
What he did was restrained.
Although Song You was not a god in the third place, it was almost impossible for the secular dynasty to do anything to him.
But he can't do whatever he wants.
Naturally, the court couldn't do anything to him, but it was impossible for Song You to kill all the officers and soldiers who came to capture him, and it was even less possible for Song You to walk into the palace for no reason and threaten the emperor. Really fed up, he had no choice but to find other ways to avoid being disturbed by the court, or to leave Changjing.
This is best these days.
"but……"
The Imperial Master should come for a visit, right?
Song You waited for a long time, but did not wait for the imperial master to come. He only waited for Wu Nuxia to return.
She came back quite early today, only half afternoon.
Wu Nuxia seemed to have gone for a trip to the mountains and came back with a pheasant, a rabbit, and many wild mushrooms. She came over and asked if there was any trouble today. After getting the answer, she put down the ingredients and asked Song You to help with the cooking. , one person produces the materials, and the other person does the work, it can be regarded as a partnership.
Mushrooms go best with chicken soup. Boil the mushroom soup into a soup pot and use it to cook rabbit meat.
The heroine even bought a jug of good wine.
In Song You's impression, she seldom drank alcohol.
"Awesome, Taoist Master."
"how do I say this?"
"I heard this morning that you killed Captain Chang. My heart skipped a beat. I thought I would probably never see you again when I came back. Oh, don't get me wrong, I mean you have changed your appearance."
"The female knight's information is wrong." Song You corrected in a low voice, "God has a good nature, and I seldom kill, and even fewer kill people. The lieutenant was deceived by a traitor, and used evil methods to extend his life. He has been dead for a long time. On the same day, I It was just to reveal the truth about his death, not to harm the Taiwei’s life, let alone to kill him.”
"Then how did he die that day?"
"If you hit it, you will die."
"Tell me about it!"
Wu Nuxia suddenly became interested.
"Such an evil method uses magic to forcibly imprison the soul in the body so that it cannot dissipate. It also keeps the body from becoming stiff or rotting and functioning freely. However, this method is the most terrifying." Knowing that this person likes to hear such stories, Song You Then he told her, "It means that the caster realizes that he is dead. If he doesn't realize it, the corpse's decaying soul will still be trapped in it. If he notices it, his soul will leave the body on the spot."
"Oh! So magical?"
"The world is vast, and there are all kinds of magic and magic, just like that, mysterious and mysterious."
"Then why doesn't anyone come looking for you?"
"His Majesty must reason with the Imperial Master."
"pull……"
Wu Nuxia twitched her lips.
Song You sandwiched the rabbit meat and cooked it in a golden soup pot. Snow surged over the clear river, and the wind blew the sunset. When it was cooked, he gave the rabbit meat to Empress Sanhua, and then took a look at the heroine.
After drinking some wine, her face turned red.
"The heroine is in a good mood today."
"The Taoist Master has good eyesight."
"Any happy news?"
"Of course there is."
"Can you tell me and listen?"
"Not to mention, I just wanted to do what I wanted to do when I came to Changjing, and I walked a little longer." Wu Nuxia smiled and raised her glass to drink. "On my way back this afternoon, I saw some hunters in the mountains selling their catch. There are also some mountain mushrooms picked up in the mountains. I was thinking two days ago that it was time to eat mushrooms. I also wanted to pick a time to go to the mountains to pick them up. However, I have been busy recently and have never had time. I happened to see them and bought them. Down."
"I thought it was the heroine who fought on the mountain."
"How can I have so much free time?"
"Maybe."
"I just hope that I can get what I want as soon as possible so that I can go back to my Yizhou and do what I want to do."
"What does the heroine want to do?"
"Find a place that doesn't charge taxes and live a leisurely life. During the busy farming season, when you're not busy, you can go to the mountains to catch rabbits and birds. It's a carefree life. Hehe, it's like a fairy life."
As she spoke, she turned her eyes to the sky, with a rosy face and a silly smile, as if she had already thought of that scene.
"Aren't you going back to the Xishan sect?"
"It's hard to come back."
"How to say?"
"Originally, on the mountain, I was the most talented, the most diligent, the best in martial arts, and had a good relationship with the elders of the sect, so I was expected to be the next leader." Wu Nuxia shook her head, "But I came to Changjing, huh, I have never been mistreated when I studied under a master in the mountains. After I have completed my studies, it is no longer right for me to not stay in the mountains to help my masters, pat my butt, and come to Changjing to make a living. When I return to Yizhou, I don’t know how long it will be. What are you going to do at this age? Do you want the sect to help you with your retirement? That’s too much."
"rational."
"right."
"I wish the heroine will get her wish soon."
Song You toasted her and said with a smile.
Then the Taoist raised his head to drink, and the cat lowered his head to drink. Hearing the words of the heroine, he felt very happy.
