Chapter 195: That's right, Qingwei must be an exiled immortal
After watching the old Taoist rise into the sky in the white light, stepping on the clouds and mist, and disappearing, Fang Xuanling finally reacted, walked around the stone table, and helped Li Shimin, who was still kneeling on the ground, up.
"King Qin..."
"Xuanling, have you seen it?"
Li Shimin, who was helped up, had swept away the haze from before and grabbed Fang Xuanling's arm with excitement.
"The distant ancestor Boyang appointed Gu to be the emperor of Li Tang. The distant ancestor Boyang recognized Gu!"
"Yes Yes!"
The smart Fang Xuanling naturally couldn't raise questions at this time, such as whether the old man just now was Taishang Laojun or whether he was a monk pretending to be a monk. Instead, he bowed to the ground and said,
Said with the same excited words.
"Congratulations to the King of Qin, for being personally recognized by the Li family's distant ancestor Taishang Laojun. His Highness the King of Qin is destined to become the Emperor of Taiping."
"yes!"
Li Shimin excitedly clenched his fist with his hand and waved it vigorously.
"I will definitely become the Emperor of Peace!"
At this time, I suddenly heard a clear voice coming from the hall next to me.
"Who is where?"
Then, King Qin Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling saw a Taoist priest dressed in white floating out with a basket in his hand and glanced at where they were.
"Hey, it's actually the King of Qin and Fang Gong..."
After seeing the people outside, the Taoist priest in white seemed very surprised. He came over with a basket and bowed his head.
"Why did you two come to see me at such a late hour? You didn't tell Pindao in advance. It's really disrespectful."
"No problem!"
Li Shimin was in a good mood at this time and even took the initiative to admit his mistake.
"I was the one who came to visit Wei Ye and became a bad guest. Priest Qingwei doesn't need to worry about it."
"Two distinguished guests..."
Kong Qing stretched out his hand and pointed toward the door of the hall.
"Since you're here, please come in and talk in detail!"
Li Shimin has not yet woken up from the good news that the Supreme Lord came and personally appointed me as the Emperor of Taiping, so he really wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see more in this Taoist temple, so he agreed immediately.
"Okay, then we'll stop disturbing you!"
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin, then followed him silently towards the main hall.
After just two steps, Li Shimin suddenly remembered something, turned his head suddenly, ran to the side of the stone table, and picked up his cup of hot cocoa that was still warm.
"Bring this guy with you, Xuanling, bring your cup too!"
"yes!"
Fang Xuanling agreed, then walked over and picked up his cup.
After Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling followed Kong Qing into the main hall, and after the guests and hosts took their seats on the futons, Li Shimin picked up his cup and planned to take another sip of the sweet and smooth syrup.
After putting it on the cup, I was immediately stunned.
I saw that the cup was actually transparent, as if it were carved from the purest crystal.
Moreover, there are actually two dragons with very clear beards and hair on the wall of the cup. They circle around the cup, their tails intersect, and there is a dragon ball in the middle of the two dragon heads. Under the light, these two dragons
The dragon's scales were still reflecting light slightly.
"This kind of cup..."
Li Shimin was shocked again.
"Could it be the thing used by the legendary immortals? It's really a priceless treasure!"
The corner of Kong Qing's mouth, who was sitting next to him, twitched silently...
Priceless is a bit exaggerated!
If you buy wholesale in a mall, you can buy a set of all twelve zodiac signs with a little merit. Even if it is converted to a thousand years later, a set of cups will only cost a few dozen yuan in retail!
Then, Kong Qing saw Li Shimin cast his greedy eyes on a crystal cup of the same model in Fang Xuanling's hand, but the pattern on it was that of a tiger.
"Xuanling..."
"Such an important treasure is not something that I should own."
Fang Xuanling very wisely handed the crystal cup in her hand towards Li Shimin.
"Of course it should be kept by His Majesty King Qin."
"Xuanling doesn't have to be like this..."
Seeing that Fang Xuanling was so aware of current affairs, Li Shimin smiled on his face, then reached out and pushed the crystal cup back.
"The fine wine inside was given to you by our distant ancestor Boyang Gong. Just keep drinking it. When you finish drinking it, just give the cup to me!"
The corners of Kong Qing's mouth twitched again.
Yes, Li Er's operation did indeed dodge him!
Then, Kong Qing reached out and took out a few porcelain plates from the basket next to him and placed them in front of him. Then he took out a pair of scissors and a lychee with leaves. While calmly cutting off the fruit on it,
Put it on the plate and said slowly.
"Pindao doesn't understand what His Highness King Qin and Mr. Fang said..."
At this moment, what the old Taoist priest said to them before leaving appeared in Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling's minds at the same time.
"My son came back very quickly today, and he also brought some lychees. It seems that His Highness King Qin and the Prime Minister are lucky people today."
Sure enough, Qingwei really brought some lychees when she returned from her spiritual journey.
This fruit cannot be fake. After all, Li Shimin also ate lychees. The lychees that were sent all the way from Lingnan to the Tang Dynasty are basically very stale.
But now the lychees held in Qingwei's hand are all ruddy in color and very plump, and the leaves on the branches have not wilted. There is even some dew on some branches and leaves, and they look like they have just been picked from the tree.
.
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling looked at each other...
No wonder Qingwei, a young Taoist priest, was described as a child by Laojun. It turns out that he also has such great magical powers. He can travel to Lingnan in one night and return with lychees.
Could it be that this little Taoist priest is a banished immortal from heaven?
Li Shimin looked at Kong Qing carefully again, and the more he looked at him, the more extraordinary he felt.
I should have guessed...
Li Shimin nodded silently in his heart.
How could such a handsome and extraordinary man be an ordinary person? He was definitely a demoted immortal. Moreover, the reason why he became a Taoist monk must be because he was an immortal under Laojun before, so Laojun would descend to earth from time to time.
Come and see him.
Yes, that must be the case!
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Fang Gong..."
After Kong Qing cut seven or eight lychees on the plate, he picked up the plate and placed it in front of Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling.
"Come, eat some fruits!"
"Qingwei, you don't have to be so polite..."
After figuring out Kong Qing's identity, Li Shimin now became more enthusiastic towards Kong Qing.
"You are from Sanniangzi, that is, a relative of me, Li Shimin. You can speak more casually and just call me Erlang!"
Fang Xuanling silently raised her head to look at Li Shimin, then lowered her head again.
“The etiquette cannot be discarded!”
Kong Qing nodded calmly to Li Shimin, with the demeanor of a Taoist scholar.
"By the way, I haven't asked yet, Your Highness King Qin, you and Mr. Fang came to my little temple at night. What happened?"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Li Shimin said with a relaxed smile.
"Actually, it's not a big deal..."
That's right, after figuring out Kong Qing's identity, Li Shimin felt that he had completely figured out why Kong Qing could make miraculous calculations, and why Kong Qing could know that Wang Yuanzhi tipped him off that he could do things like the Emperor of Taiping.
There is Taishang Laojun standing behind them, so it is not easy to understand these things... Wait!
Suddenly Li Shimin remembered that when he was in Luoyang, Wang Yuanzhi did not take the two of them to the main hall, but rested in a place similar to a reception room, and in the shrine on the side of the room was the Supreme Being.
Laojun.
Then, the words Lao Jun said just now rang in his ears again.
"These things you are talking about are all in front of my eyes. I can't even think about them!"
"Xuanling, have you thought about what happened in Luoyang?"
Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling with emotion.
"No wonder our ancestors said that when we met Wang Yuanzhi, we were all in front of him."
Fang Xuanling nodded silently,
In fact, he didn't need Li Shimin to remind him about this matter. He had already figured it out when the old Taoist priest claimed to be Li Boyang.
Isn't it a waste of fame to stop Fang's plan?
However, Fang Xuanling, who was very good at being a good person, did not rush to show off his intelligence in front of Li Shimin, but waited for Li Shimin to discover it on his own.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Fang Gong..."
Kong Qing looked indifferent, as if he didn't care at all about Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling playing riddles together.
"Eat the fruit while it's fresh. After the fruit leaves the branch, its taste will soon decrease!"
"well!"
Li Shimin agreed, then picked up a lychee with his hands, pinched open the shell and stuffed it into his mouth, then bit it hard.
A stream of fragrant lychee juice burst out.
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
This is the freshest lychee he has ever tasted. In the past, the lychees that were delivered to Daxing City by horseback usually traveled for several days, so the taste was often a bit wrong.
It seems that Qingwei did indeed travel to Lingnan as Laojun said.
Fang Xuanling, who was next to Li Shimin, was also holding a lychee, his mouth was squirming, and he had a satisfied look on his face.
The corners of Kong Qing's mouth turned up slightly.
Obviously, these two Tang Dynasty bumpkins have no idea that there is something called air-lifted fruit in this world!
"Qingwei..."
After realizing that he knew the identity of Kong Qing's banished immortal, Li Shimin decided to continue to conceal the fact that he and Fang Xuanling met the Supreme Lord here.
After all, Taishang Laojun left immediately after feeling Qingwei's return from the wandering mind. This shows that Laojun actually doesn't want Qingwei to know that he is silently paying attention to him. As the next emperor of Taiping appointed by Laojun,
, Li Shimin felt that it was best not to ruin this matter.
"Actually, this time I and Xuanling came here just to see if there is anything that Qingdu Temple needs help with. After all, Sanniang gave you to Gu Lai to take care of you, and Gu Lai must fulfill his responsibilities."
Li Shimin looked serious, as if he really thought so.
"Actually, I wanted to come over one afternoon, but something happened temporarily, so I postponed it until the evening."
"oh……"
Kong Qing nodded calmly, showing no eagerness at all because he received the care of King Qin, showing the demeanor of a Taoist master.
"Then I would like to thank His Highness the King of Qin, but it is enough for Pindao to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Now Pindao has nothing to ask for... Speaking of this Pindao, I would also like to thank His Highness the King of Qin's sister, Princess Linhai,
If it weren't for Her Royal Highness the Princess and her Prince Consort Pei Langjun, this small Taoist temple would still look a bit dilapidated."
With that said, Kong Qing stood up and opened the curtain in front of the statue of Laojun in the hall with his hands.
"I feel ashamed to say it. Half a year ago, Laojun and Pindao were wearing shabby clothes together!"
"oh!"
Li Shimin nodded with regret.
"I don't know that my sister is so kind. Obviously the Pei family..."
Just when Li Shimin was halfway through his words, his eyes had already fallen on the statue. In an instant, both he and Fang Xuanling were stunned.
I saw Taishang Laojun sitting on the throne in the center of the hall, wearing a blue and white Taoist robe, with white beard and hair, and holding a whisk in his hand. He looked exactly like the old Taoist priest just now!
