"Where?"
Zhang's sloppy eyes were bright, "It's been a long time since I practiced with the Heavenly Master, please tell me quickly."
"Stay temporarily in the post house that receives foreign envoys. It is about five miles west of the palace and along the main road." Li Qing said, "Master, just take the elixir and it will be done. Don't hit others."
"It depends on whether he knows what's interesting." Zhang Sloppy said, "A teacher is not a rude person."
Li Qing had a strange look on his face, "I just took it when he wasn't prepared. I don't care if he knows it or not?"
"Taking it directly when they are not prepared?" Zhang Slutty was annoyed, "Is that called taking?
That's called stealing!
How many times have I told you that you can't do whatever you want just because you have the skills? I am a hooligan, not a thief. "
"...Robbing is more serious than stealing." Li Qing rolled his eyes, "If you don't believe me, look at the Ming Law."
"Who said it was robbed?" Zhang Sloppy said angrily, "Master has always convinced people with virtue."
Seeing him gearing up, Li Qing was speechless for a while.
"Okay, I'll take care of this." Zhang Slutty put the leg of lamb on the table, "Sit down and let me transfer your zhenqi to you. I can't wait any longer."
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Slutty left with a bad smile.
…
Zhang lay in bed tossing and turning normally, unable to sleep.
He knew very well that Empress Ma's life could not be saved at all, and once the Empress died, he, the Imperial Master, would also be implicated. At the least, the Tianshi Mansion would be reprimanded, and his reputation would be ruined, at the worst...
Zhang Changzheng stood up in a hurry, took out the tortoise shells and stones used for divination, took a deep breath after cleaning his hands, and prepared to make a divination for himself.
"The heavenly masters of all generations have blessed me and protected Longhu Mountain from this calamity..." Zhang Changzheng muttered.
"Crash..."
The patinated stones fell on the tortoise shell, and then fell freely to the ground.
Zhang Changfang held his breath and concentrated, and began to unravel the hexagrams.
A quarter of an hour later, cold sweat began to break out on his face.
——-The bloody disaster!
What's even more terrible is that it should be today.
"Isn't it?" Zhang Changsheng's face turned ugly, "Judging from the Queen's pulse and facial features, she can live for a few more days, so she shouldn't be buried suddenly!
"Even if it's really a funeral, it has nothing to do with me?
I just entered the palace and haven't had time to pray yet.
Besides, I am a national master. Even if I am angered by the emperor, I will not be beheaded. "
Zhang Changsheng muttered to himself, and finally came to the conclusion: this hexagram is incorrect.
"Huh~! Another hexagram!"
"Are you coming again?" A voice suddenly rang out, frightening Zhang Changsheng. "Who is it?"
"Keep your voice down, don't disturb others in the middle of the night."
Zhang Zheng often looked like a slovenly little old man. He was slightly startled and asked, "Who are you?"
"Don't worry about it, how about we make a bet?"
"bet?"
Zhang Changsong looked amused, but at the same time he lowered his guard. If he couldn't handle a bad old man, he wouldn't be a heavenly master anymore.
"I take it you're a Qiu Feng guy, right?"
"Fart, the old man just ate the royal meal."
"...I mean, old man, can we stop bragging?" Zhang Changshang said with a funny face, "I've even eaten it, you... forget it."
He took out a five hundred cash note from his pocket and said, "Take it to buy some food."
Zhang Slutty was annoyed, "Where are you sending the beggars?"
Although he was a gangster, he was not a beggar. He had always made a living by himself. When he was traveling, he would either help others build roofs or treat their illnesses. He never took free food.
Zhang was normally in a bad mood. Seeing that the other party was stalking him, he was also furious. "If you don't leave, I won't be polite."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Zhang Slutty shook his head, "The Celestial Master lineage is really inferior to every generation."
"You..." Zhang Zhongcheng was furious and was about to get angry, but suddenly he realized that the other party could come to his room without anyone noticing. He was definitely not an ordinary person.
"How come my lineage of Heavenly Masters is not as good as the previous one?" He calmed down and prepared to talk about the little old man's words.
Zhang Slutty pulled up a chair and sat down, and sneered, "I've seen the old man Tianshi a lot, but this is the first time I've seen him divination two times a day."
Zhang Zhongwang's face heated up, and he suddenly captured the key information. He looked at him again and said with a cupped hand:
"But in front of the sloppy real person?"
When did this nickname come up... Zhang Sloppy was a little depressed, but he didn't deny it, "Betting or not?"
"I wonder what the real person is betting on?"
"Let's fight!" Zhang said sloppily, "I win. Give me all the elixirs you have on your body, and then refine a Heavenly Master elixir for me later..."
"No gambling." Zhang Changsheng shook his head decisively.
His grandfather was beaten by Zhang Sloppy. This bad old man was very bad.
"Good boy, you look down on my old man, don't you?"
"No……"
"watch out."
…
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Zhongcheng had a bruised nose and swollen face, with a look of despair on his face. He finally knew where the bloody disaster should be.
"Master, you bully the small with your greatness."
"This is for you." Zhang Sloppy took out a scripture from his pocket, "This is the old man's spiritual virtue. Although your Tianshi Mansion is not short of scriptures, reading this book of mine will definitely help you gain something. In short, it is definitely worth more than these elixirs of yours."
When Zhang Chenggang heard this, he immediately became energetic. He quickly took the scripture and read it, and said happily:
"Oh, Master, I told you earlier, why don't we just change it?"
"Old man, I haven't moved my muscles for a long time. Can't I practice with you?"
"..." What else could Zhang Zongzheng say? Even his grandfather couldn't beat him, so he had to admit defeat.
After a pause, he said, "The materials for Tianshi Dan are extremely difficult to find. It may take a year and a half. Please understand."
Zhang Chenggang held the scripture in his arms, fearing that the other party would take it back again.
"Okay, but you only need two. The old man will pick them up in a year."
Zhang Changsheng gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Sure."
…
"Disciple, take your time taking these elixirs, but the Tianshi elixir will have to wait until next year."
"There's no rush." Li Qing happily took the brocade box and opened it to see that there were more than thirty pills. He was even more surprised. "Thank you, Master. Master, you can try it too."
"I don't need this thing." Zhang Sloppy waved his hand and picked up the leftover leg of lamb, "Let's go."
————
Early in the morning.
The front hall of Qianqing Palace.
As soon as Li Qing arrived, he saw another scene happening across from the monks. They were all Taoist priests, and the leader was none other than the Heavenly Master Zhang Changchun.
It's just that Zhang Guangwang is somewhat abnormal at the moment. His nose is bruised and his face is swollen. One eye is big and the other is small. He has obviously been beaten violently.
Li Qing was ashamed, his master had beaten him up after all.
He felt a little guilty, pretending to be extremely anxious, and entered Qianqing Palace.
In the palace, Queen Ma was awake and talking to Zhu Yuanzhang, and the princes listened quietly, very well-behaved.
"Li Qing is here."
Seeing that he no longer needed help, Queen Ma chuckled and said, "How is your recovery going?"
"Thanks to my mother-in-law, everything is fine."
"That's good." Queen Ma nodded and said softly, "Chongba, you can go out first. Li Qing cannot be disturbed during acupuncture."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, patted Li Qing on the shoulder, turned and walked out of the hall.
After a while, the hall became quiet.
"Your Majesty, you must be tired after chatting with the Emperor for so long. Let's take a nap first," Li Qing said.
Queen Ma sighed, "I have something to ask you."
"Mother, please speak."
"Is there any way you can help me return to normal for one day?" Queen Ma asked, "I know this may be a bit difficult, but I don't have a few days left to live. Can you do it?"
After a pause, "Don't worry, I will never let you be implicated."
Li Qing had a look of helplessness on his face, "My dear, you may only be able to live for one day, and you may not even survive the night."
"One day at a time!" Queen Ma said, "You should be able to see that I only have three to five days at most. If I am in a coma all day, I will only be awake for more than an hour a day. Why don't I just enjoy the last time?" One day.
please. "
Li Qing smiled bitterly, "My queen, you are embarrassing me like this!"
"This is my last wish." Queen Ma promised, "I will never involve you."
Li Qing hesitated for a long time and nodded slowly: "Okay, but not today. I have to go back and prepare myself. Madam, please go to bed first."
Queen Ma glared at him, "I'm going to die, why can't you watch?"
"……All right!"
Li Qing stopped inking, put his hand on her wrist, and transferred the energy.
Empress Ma felt it silently, with a look of surprise on her face, "Is this how you heal me?"
"Yes." Li Qing nodded, "Actually, this is not unusual. Real monks will know it more or less. However, please keep it a secret."
"Are you afraid of arousing the emperor's jealousy?" Empress Ma nodded, "Well, Chongba is indeed a little jealous, don't worry, Chongba said you are a person of great use, so I will naturally protect you. "
"Thank you for your understanding."
