Mu Sheng could not hide his excitement at the moment. If he started moving out of the palace tomorrow, he would have to go to Yishan Taiji Palace to express gratitude to his cheap father.
When he thought of the current emperor's behavior in the past three years, he shook his head inwardly. Since the current emperor moved to Taiji Palace, he rarely saw his ministers. He focused on trying to ascend to immortality under the guidance of Zhang Dahuyou.
At the same time, the emperor also gave himself a dazzling title, the True Monarch of Holy Deeds and Pure Yang... He was speechless.
This...hey! Obsession, it's really crazy. This is exactly the same as Emperor Jiajing's behavior back then.
Well, when he thought of Zhang Daoling, Mu Sheng asked again, "Senior brother, I have something to ask you."
Li Chen nodded and said, "Just tell me."
Mu Sheng said, "Senior brother, have you ever seen Zhang Dahu...er...Dao Ling? Who is this real person? How can he make His Majesty obey his words? Is he really the heavenly master of our monk world?"
Li Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I have met him. He is indeed a genuine practitioner. There is no doubt about it."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he thought to himself, what a good guy, he is actually really capable! I asked myself, "How can you, with all your wisdom and strength today, obey the advice of such a charlatan?"
At present, it seems that this big scam is still much better than Xu Fu's pure scam. It is indeed capable of business, otherwise it would not be possible to risk beheading and run back to continue the scam.
OK! It's really good. The layout is higher than the roof here.
Li Chen continued, "I have seen this Zhang Daoling, and it seems that his skills belong to a small sect of the Yin and Yang sect that specializes in talismans. Like me, he is also a heavenly master."
"It's very rare for a master like him who comes from a small sect to reach the realm of a Heavenly Master. Maybe he will have some adventures. The master also said about this person. He felt that this person had a strange Qi, which was not quite right. For example, the way of practice of our Taoist sect in the Central Plains is somewhat similar to the way of practice of the Taoist sect in Southern Xinjiang... Hey, even if I tell you, you don't understand."
"But junior brother, please remember that tempering yourself and consolidating your Taoist heart is the right path. Those who try to use external objects to replace practice are completely wishful thinking and are the ways of evil heretics. Practice must be down-to-earth and step by step, otherwise sooner or later you will fall into the trap If you fall into the devil's path, no one will be able to save you by then, so don't..."
Mu Sheng agreed repeatedly.
He asked another question, "Senior brother, I've always been curious. Didn't the master, the old man, remind the current majesty? I heard that in the past, the majesty also came to my master from time to time to talk about Taoism. Why did he just believe in this old man Zhang Daoling?"
Li Chen said helplessly, "Master has also talked about this matter before. His Majesty did ask Master before, can ordinary people practice and become immortals? Is the theory of gods reliable? Master, he said that he never believed in the theory of gods. I I think so too.”
"Only when you truly enter the Taoist sect can you understand that the theory of gods and immortals is purely false. There are no personal gods in this world. They are all legends fabricated by some foolish men and women in the folk. As true Taoists, we only see the natural way of Taoism. , there is only the way of heaven, two is born, two begets three, three begets all things..."
"Tao is the biggest rule of the universe and the origin of all things. This is the truth that we as Taoists pursue throughout our lives. Understanding the laws of Tao and conforming to Tao with one's body is the real Tao."
"Some foolish men and women among the people think that we are gods when they see the little magic skills of us cultivators. In fact, it is very simple. You have just done something that ordinary people cannot do. In the eyes of ordinary people, He has become a so-called god. The master explained the purpose of our practice to the holy master. According to the master, it seems that His Majesty still can't listen. He has always been obsessed with immortality..."
After hearing this, Mu Sheng complained in his heart, it's strange that the emperor can listen to your materialistic rhetoric. Fortunately, he is a modern person and has received systematic training in basic physics. He can accept this rhetoric immediately, but in ancient times, illiterate people The rate is 98%. What do you mean when you say that most people don’t understand this rhetoric...
Even in the scientific and prosperous era he lived in, there were still many idiots who couldn't understand, believed in cults, engaged in superstition, and were deceived into ruin.
In this era, only the pretentious things can convince people. Maybe it's Zhang Daoling's old man's rhetoric that is more attractive!
For ordinary people, these truths mentioned by the senior brother cannot satisfy their fantasy of immortality and longevity. It is still difficult for people to break the inherent cognition in their minds.
Li Chen said, "To be honest, Your Majesty is a mortal body and is not suitable for cultivation. We, the Yuzhen Sect, really cannot be of much help..."
Mu Sheng nodded slightly and said, "I see..."
Why! This brings us to the point! We, the Yuzhen Sect, have nothing to do. Zhang Da deceived you, regardless of whether he is true or false. Is this a crooked way? He just has a way.
Sometimes the only way to gain the trust of a leader is to lie and lie to solve the problem. It's that simple.
Li Chen asked, "Junior brother, it's getting late. I'll go back first and wait until you settle down in your new place."
"Brother, walk slowly."
When Mu Sheng raised his head, he found that the person was gone...
so fast……
Mu Sheng learned the details of Zhang Daoling from his senior brother. In fact, he never believed that Zhang Daoling deceived the emperor about immortality, but became half-convinced. He was also a registered disciple of his master, and he was also a half-practitioner.
There are obviously magic practitioners in this world. Maybe Zhang Daoling and his ilk must be somewhat capable. How dare he come back to attract repeat customers to join Round A and Round B just by deceiving him? Just like Xu Fu, he defrauded Angel Wheel and ran away...
While Mu Sheng was deep in thought and standing alone in the yard in a daze, a sweet voice like an oriole came from behind.
"Young Master, the wife just came to inform us that we will be moving out of the palace tomorrow... I don't know what big thing happened, but the Young Master has not bowed yet. Isn't this against the rules?"
I saw a slightly shrewd beautiful girl walking quickly in front of Mu Sheng with a fragrant breeze. Her charming face made him feel slightly absent-minded for a moment.
A daughter of the Zeng family has just grown up, and Yun'er has become a pure and pure woman, with graceful eyebrows and a great beauty.
Mu Sheng might have been with her for a long time, and he was basically immune to her beauty.
Seeing Yun'er coming, Mu Sheng explained to her what his senior brother had just told him.
Yun'er became very happy when she heard this, and said in a cheerful tone, "Sir, from now on we can go to the city and play as we please. There will no longer be so many rules in the palace."
Mu Sheng agreed upon hearing this.
At this time, he suddenly wanted to tease Yun'er, and said in an old-fashioned tone, "By the way, I heard that my uncle Zhao has recognized you as his goddaughter?"
"Yeah? What's wrong?" Yun'er said a little confused.
Mu Sheng looked at her confused look and suddenly felt a little funny...
He continued in a mature tone, "Yun'er, I think you are quite old now. You should be married to a good family. If you wait a few more years, no one will want you like this old girl."
In fact, the two of them have been together for so many years. In his heart, he has very complicated feelings for Yun'er, including family affection and a hint of affection. After all, he has been a man for two generations, and his mentality is no longer that of a young man, and he is not so restless.
I can't tell you how I feel about Yun'er. Maybe they've been together for a long time and they're too familiar with each other...
Yun'er curled her lips and said, "I want you to take care of it! I won't get married."
Mu Sheng pretended to be surprised and said, "Do you have a sweetheart?"
Yun'er seemed to have been struck in her mind, and she immediately became irritable and said, "What did the young master say? How could you..."
There was a hint of suspicion in Mu Sheng's eyes, and he kept glaring at Yun'er without saying a word. Now he was as tall as Yun'er, maybe because he grew up faster because of his cultivation.
Yun'er was immediately stunned by Mu Sheng's glare, and said in a low voice, "Master, I want to stay with him all the time. I don't want to get married..."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he knew that she was not telling the truth. It was against her will. Last year during the Spring Festival when the prince was supervising the country, he presided over the court meeting. Zeng Yun stared at the prince with his eyes...
Why! Mu Sheng didn't even know what to say to her, so he almost rushed up to her and told her, "This prodigal old lady is pretending to be a white lotus with him... Oh!"
Mu Sheng deliberately teased Yun'er and suddenly shouted, "Hey! Prince..."
When Yun'er heard this, she looked back subconsciously, but suddenly she realized what she was doing, and saw Mu Sheng looking at her with a mean look, feeling embarrassed.
Yun'er angrily punched Mu Sheng a few times and said, "Humph! Young Master, you know how to bully a weak woman like me."
Mu Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "No way, who dares to bully you?"
After these years of getting along, Mu Sheng and Yun'er have already broken through the master-servant relationship.
He has never had any airs about him, and he is often in a daze and neurotic. He does some inexplicable things when he has nothing to do, such as trying to invent gunpowder or something, which often makes him look like Bao Gong and his head explodes.
These daily weird behaviors have long since lost any prestige to Yun'er. Sometimes the relationship between the two seems to be that of brother and sister, and they fight and fight year after year.
I don't know why, but every time she looks at the prince's fourth brother, Mu Sheng still feels a little jealous.
Maybe deep down in his heart, he is more jealous of the prince. Some people are born with the halo of protagonists and are born to be the center of attention. They are handsome, capable, and very easy-going to others, but one person is still inferior to ten thousand people. Above, the crown prince of the country and the future emperor, compared with him, Mu Sheng, the "human background board", is indeed a little ashamed of himself!
Yun'er turned around and said, "I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to prepare everything in the house and move it to a new house quickly, hum!"
Hearing this, Mu Sheng said, "Yun'er, do you want me to go to Fourth Brother's place to talk about an agreement? I heard that Fourth Brother is going to choose Mrs. Natsu recently. This is a rare and good opportunity, isn't it?"
Yun'er said angrily, "Humph! Don't worry about it. What do you, a child, know?"
Hearing this, Mu Sheng had no choice but to smile bitterly and shake his head.
With Mu Sheng's deliberate connivance, Yun'er became more and more lawless, but this is what a girl should be like, full of energy, youthful and unrestrained. Compared with her, she is more like a teenage old man. .
He looked at Yun'er busy with his business. Not to mention, Yun'er and Fourth Brother were indeed a good match. Putting aside jealousy, Mu Sheng had always had a pretty good impression of Fourth Brother. Husband too.
Now that the cheap uncle Zhao Chu has recognized Yun'er as his goddaughter, Mu Sheng thinks that maybe Zhao Chu is also responsible for the widow of his old friend. He hopes that Yun'er can find a good home one day. Master Zhao's goddaughter, Shaofu Zhao, can Marrying into the Zhao family, one of the Nine Qings, is not an ordinary family.
