In the end, Zhao Changsheng left with a peach in his arms and an uncertain expression on his face.
Gao Qiu also invited Hu Yuan to return to his Taiwei Mansion.
After the two of them sat down in the study, Gao Qiu suddenly turned serious and asked, "Taoist Master, your words and deeds just now seem to be inconsistent with what we had previously discussed!"
Hu Yuan was not in a hurry, and said with a calm smile: "Don't be offended, Taiwei. This is just a temporary idea. But there is a piece of big cake there. Instead of competing with others to share it, let's eat the rest from the beginning." Get out of the situation—what do you think, Captain?"
Gao Qiu pondered for a long time, then asked instead of answering: "It should be noted that Lin Lingsu is not easy to get along with. Is Taoist Master confident?"
Hu Yuan showed a confident posture and said proudly: "Don't worry, Taiwei, today the poor Taoist has planted a thorn in the official's heart. He will definitely not believe Lin Lingsu's nonsense again. As for the final result, Then you have to rely on your own methods. You can’t say it, but you will have to do it in person in the end.”
At first, Gao Qiu only wanted Hu Long to follow Lin Lingsu's example and gain the emperor's favor, and then become his best assistant in the officialdom. However, he did not expect that Hu Long would have the ambition to replace Lin Lingsu.
In his heart, he was quite dissatisfied with Hu Long's self-assertion, but now that the two of them were on the same boat, although Lin Lingsu was a monk, he did not seem to have an indifferent and tolerant temperament. If he learned about this , Hu Long must also hate himself who recommended Hu Long.
Wanting to understand the stakes, Gao Qiu knew that he had no other choice, and immediately reminded Hu Yuan: "Back then, Lin Lingsu once practiced the Five Thunder Techniques in front of the officials, and used the thunder to crack mountains and crack rocks. The power was extremely terrifying. The Taoist Priest must Be careful."
Hu Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Taiwei, I know what I'm doing."
Having said this, he reached inside his left sleeve with his right hand, took out a flat peach from the jade gourd hanging on his wrist, and handed it to Gao Qiu.
"Taoist Master, you..." Gao Qiu was stunned.
Hu Long said with a smile: "Don't you really think that the poor Taoist man has the ability to send people to heaven? It's just a deception. However, although this flat peach was not planted by the Queen Mother, it is also a rare spiritual root in the world, which can prolong life and strengthen the body. The theory of body is absolutely no exaggeration. The Taiwei worked hard for Pindao, and Pindao expressed his gratitude for this spiritual fruit."
Gao Qiu was overjoyed. On the one hand, it was of course a gift worth a thousand dollars, and on the other hand, it was because of Hu Long's frankness.
In his early years, he was considered a half-Jianghu, and had contact with all three religions and nine schools. Although he could not see through Hu Long's methods, he did not think that Hu Long had just sent Murong Yan to the heaven.
Having said that, if Hu Long is really an extraordinary and spiritual master, he will suspect that Hu Long is close to his purpose.
After all, he knows his own family affairs, and he also knows that with the way he behaves, it is really unlikely that he will be favored by such a person.
Seeing Gao Qiu carefully taking the flat peach, Hu Long's brows jumped slightly.
Before he traveled through his previous life, he collected many flat peach fruits from the Kunlun Secret Realm in the space of the Jasper Gourd.
After being transferred to this world through that mysterious space, these flat peaches indeed changed like the magical weapons he carried several times before, and their quality was greatly improved.
His cultivation in this life recovered much faster than in his previous life. In addition to the pair of water and fire dragon balls in his belly, he also relied on the rich vitality contained in the flat peach.
It's just that although there are a lot of flat peaches in his gourd, after all, one is eaten and one is missing. This time, one was given to "Zhao Changsheng" and Gao Qiu respectively, which really made him feel a little distressed, so he could only secretly say cruelly:
"Humph, poor things are not so easy to get. One day, if you eat something from me, you have to spit it out, and if you take something from me, you have to give it back to me!"
Turning around, Zuo Daolu Xu Zhichang hurried to East Taiyi Palace and met a Taoist priest named "Lin Lingsu" who lived here.
Lin Lingsu has been in Tokyo for more than a year. Because he has shown some advanced Taoist skills, he is highly admired by everyone in the East Taiyi Palace, and he is willing to serve and support him.
He claims to be past the age of knowing his fate, but he looks like a man in his thirties, with a clear face, slim figure and fair skin, and looks quite elegant and elegant.
Xu Zhichang came here and told him the whole story of what happened in Fanlou last night.
Because the emperor believed in Taoism, his idle position as Zuo Daolu became a piece of cake. Naturally, many people came to fawn over him. Although they could not do anything big, they could make him have good hearing and vision.
The warm smile that always showed on Lin Lingsu's face gradually solidified, and a gleam of electricity appeared in her eyes. As more and more electric lights tangled and intertwined, his eyes finally turned into a cold, silvery color without any emotion, which was heart-stopping to look at.
Xu Zhichang did not dare to look at him, and lowered his head and asked: "Leader, it is clear that Taoist Hu Yun is coming with bad intentions, how should we deal with him?"
Lin Lingsu came to Tokyo to establish a religion and preach, and Xu Zhichang was impressed by his little tricks and became the most devout believer in the "Shenxiao Tao" he founded, so he worked so hard to help him.
After listening to what Xu Zhichang said, Lin Lingsu fell into deep thought, but the electric light in his eyes gradually dissipated.
After a long while, he looked solemn and said: "You and I have been planning for several years, and we used a dream to convince the officials that he was the reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor. The officials have promised to build a temple for me in Tokyo on the way to the sky. , in the future, all the temples in Tianning will be converted into Shenxiao Wanshou Palace. One will be our Shenxiao Taoist temple, and the other will be dedicated to the Immortal Emperor. In this way, we will make the best use of the situation, and our Shenxiao Taoism will be integrated with the official family, and both will be prosperous. , and its promotion is just around the corner.
"What a shame that Taoist Hu Yun actually tried to use his strength. On the one hand, he used some tricks to make the officials believe that he was indeed the reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor. On the other hand, he hinted that I had ulterior motives for publicizing this matter. Since ancient times, the Tian family has been suspicious. Even if the Zhao Guan family has the slightest suspicion, they will no longer support my Shenxiao Dao as promised.
"Although the poor Taoist is extremely indignant, he has to admit that Taoist Hu Yun has clever methods and has gained the upper hand in this round. If he just resorts to tricks, it will be difficult to regain the situation. The only solution for now is To break the situation with strength, everyone has done it to determine the winner."
After seeing his leader's Five Thunder Methods, Xu Zhichang revered him as a god. When he heard the words, he immediately became energetic and said with joy: "The leader's plan is wonderful. He can speak like a lotus flower with just one opening of his mouth." , after all, he is no match for the immeasurable magical power of the leader. As long as he is severely humiliated in front of the officials, the officials will naturally know who is the authentic Taoist disciple who should be worshiped sincerely!"
Lin Lingsu said solemnly: "Since the poor Taoist has taken action, how can he stop damaging his face? This is a dispute between Taoists and there is no room for mercy. The final result can only be that one of the parties will be wiped out and his body will be destroyed!"
