"It's just that the world belongs to me, Dayan, after all, and Changjing is also the capital of my Dayan. Even the gods cannot cause chaos in Changjing. I believe that 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 feels..." 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 people 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 strangers 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 your body is completely decomposed and unable to move, and your family will think that you are dead and put it in a coffin.
, only when you hear the cries of your family members can you know that you are dead and your soul can be freed. The whole process can be described as excruciating."
"So terrifying?"
"What's even more terrifying," the Imperial Master said with a smile, "is that after someone's corpse rotted, their hearing disappeared. However, they were neither human nor ghosts. They couldn't hear any sound. They didn't know the reason, but they just felt trapped.
I have been trapped in 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."
"It's okay to say that."
"Taoism also has good and evil..."
"Tao and Dharma don't exist, but 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 Palace. The civil court also has many capable people. All the famous mountains and temples
The palace also respects me as the lord of the world, and there is a person like the Imperial Master who is able to strategize and understand astronomy and geography. Is it possible that he can be compared with 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 and powerful, 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.
I have known this emperor for a long time and assisted him for many years, so I naturally understand each other.
This emperor loved to open up new territories, and poets often referred to him as Emperor Wu. When he heard about an unknown small country, he would first care about how many troops it had. Now when he meets a monk at the pinnacle of humanity, 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 due to old 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 Temple only teaches astronomy, geography, and military tactics. Each school teaches the classics of the world and follows the path of a staff strategist. At most, they only know some calculation and divination skills. How can they dare to compare with the descendants of Fulong Temple?"
"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, Tiansuan Taoist said that he could 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 then 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 and the people and protect the world from 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 immortality and freedom. However, I have to be tied up by state affairs, and I can't help but feel 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 place 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 emotions and reasons, 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 founded. 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 really thank 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 are afraid that one day something like this will happen to them, so they will jump out and ask the Ministry of Punishment to arrest someone, and I will refute it."
"It is my great fortune 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 Fulong Guan have no connection with? The previous dynasty that Fuyang Taoist helped Taizu of this dynasty defeat, is it not the new dynasty that another ancestor helped to establish? Maybe Dayan many years later
The corrupt emperor is 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 how you say it, Fulongguan still has a feeling of helping the Dayan royal family.
Secondly, this matter was because the Taiwei Mansion was rude.
What's more, the fact that the powerful people in Changjing City are so domineering is not a problem of the Song Dynasty, but a problem of the imperial court.
What you have done is restrained.
Even though Song You was not an immortal, 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 him to walk into the palace for no reason and threaten the emperor. It was really annoying, so he had to use other methods to avoid it.
The imperial court disturbed him, or he left Changjing.
This is best now.
"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 is considered 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 bottle 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 rarely kill people, and even less people 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, it did not harm the Taiwei's life, let alone kill him."
"Then how did he die that day?"
"If you break 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 rotten and functioning freely. However, this method is the scariest thing." 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 rotting body and 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 so vast that there are many wonders and magics. It is just like this, 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, with the clear river snow surging and the wind blowing 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 a good eye."
"Is there any happy news?"
"Of course there is."
"Can you tell me and listen?"
"Not to mention, I just wanted to do something when I came to Changjing and walked a little longer." Wu Nuxia smiled and raised her glass to drink. "On the 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.
Come 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, and be at ease. 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 treated badly 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? Could it be that you want the sect to help you with your retirement? That would be 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. Just listening to the heroine's words, he felt very happy.
