Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Gourd opened his eyes and pointed to the sky and swore: "Don't believe it, what I said is absolutely true.
This matter was told to me by Eunuch Shang, who is from my hometown.
He was present at the time, saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, not to mention how dare he make up such a thing?"
"Then according to you, this person asked for the rain, so what happened to Master Wuliang?" Youzhu asked.
"He? What else can he do? Go back to his Taoist temple and become a turtle." When Hulu said this, he snorted coldly and said, "Besides making mysteries in the palace, what else has he done in the past few years? I have never been able to refine the elixir. It is always said that someone in the palace has violated a taboo. Because of this, I don’t know how many people have been affected.
I am always on tenterhooks every day, for fear of accidentally breaking a taboo.
Even though I begged for rain, I couldn't get it, and I even broke the treasure, which shows that I don't have any real skills.
At first, ministers from the previous dynasty signed a letter, saying that he was just a charlatan and a charlatan who played tricks, but now it seems that he was not unjustly accused."
In fact, there are many people in this palace who have endless resentment in their hearts, but they did not dare to speak out before.
"By the way, what is the origin of that expert? Did he stay?" Danyue asked with great interest.
"It's really strange to say that the expert prayed for rain and revealed Wuliang's true face.
But after the rain came down, he was about to leave. It was Eunuch Shang who did his best to keep him, and at the same time ordered someone to report to the emperor immediately.
I thought what would happen if this master left and the emperor wanted to see him again?"
"Then has the emperor met him?" Youzhu asked.
"Of course your Majesty wants to see him, but this expert refuses to enter the palace. He said that if your Majesty has anything to ask, he can write it down on paper, but he can only ask three questions." Hulu said, "And to your Majesty
Because he prayed for rain and was rewarded with gold, jewels and shells, he didn't even look at them.
And he scattered all these belongings to the poor, seriously treating money like dung!"
"Oh! This is the real master of the world!" Danyue sighed, "Indifferent to fame and fortune, free and unrestrained, like a dragon that sees its beginning but not its end."
"It goes without saying that people don't admire people for their behavior like this?" Hulu said, giving a thumbs up.
The rest of the people also chatted among themselves.
Only Xue Hengzhao never said a word from beginning to end.
Others regarded this incident as an anecdote or a miracle, and regarded the man as an outsider. Only she knew that this was just a bigger conspiracy.
Shrouded in the conspiracy of the theft of lapis lazuli and the suicide of the eunuch in charge of Fengyu Tower.
Liu Hu committed suicide. Liang Jing felt strange, but could not think of the real reason.
That's because he doesn't know about the theft of the lapis lazuli from Longscale Pavilion.
Xue Hengzhao was able to see more than him because she knew more than Liang Jing.
Now that things have happened, although Xue Hengzhao is not completely clear about the entire situation, he can still see through it.
This game is set up around the real person Wuliang, and the purpose is to push him off the altar and stay away from the emperor.
Because his position is too important.
The emperor was obsessed with Taoism and desired immortality.
He almost obeys Wuliang’s words.
If someone can overthrow him and replace him, that person will only enjoy more respect and have greater power.
To overthrow Wuliang, there must be a suitable opportunity.
This opportunity is to open a forum to pray for rain.
The people in Yangze Palace were bribed to steal the lapis lazuli in order to prevent Wuliang from praying for rain.
And Liu Hu is in charge of Fengyu Tower, and the Fengyujian there is also a magic weapon for praying for rain.
That thing is too big to steal, so just break it.
Xue Hengzhao guessed that there must be something smeared on it. It would not be visible for a while, but over time it would corrode the mirror surface.
The purpose of doing this is the same as stealing lapis lazuli.
The two eunuchs who died, Pi Kun and Liu Hu, whether they committed suicide or committed suicide, were all trying to silence themselves.
And that so-called expert is naturally the candidate arranged to replace Wuliang.
His skills shocked everyone when he appeared on the scene, but Xue Hengzhao knew that it was just a trick and a trick.
And his refusal to meet the saint is just a hard-to-get trick to increase his worth.
As for praying for rain itself, Xue Hengzhao did not understand this kind of thing.
But I also heard Master say that Taoism has its own school, and 70% of it is just stuff to fool people, but 30% of it is true, and praying for rain is one of them.
Therefore, she believed that both Wuliang and this master who appeared out of nowhere were well versed in Taoism and had certain abilities.
But even so, they still can't live forever, let alone help the emperor live forever.
But they will eventually use this as bait to fish for glory, fame and fortune.
After all, this is a scam.
It only depends on whether the deceiver is clever or not.
The only thing that Xue Hengzhao didn't see clearly now was who in the palace was working as an internal agent for that person?
But you can be sure that this person is very ambitious.
She has two candidates in mind, but they have not been finalized yet.
Sure enough, within a few days, the palace was full of rumors about the great man's deeds.
Some said that he meditated on a high platform and did not eat or drink for seven days and seven nights, and his face was still glowing.
Others said that a woman came to him holding a dying child, and he only reached out and touched the child's head.
The child immediately opened his eyes, sat up from his mother's arms, and jumped up and down to play.
Some people even said that he had met this master when he was seven or eight years old. At that time, there was a flood in the river. It was this master who raised his sword and killed the dragon in the water, so that the water did not flood.
But now that he is over seventy years old, that expert is still as young and handsome as he was then.
It's like this in the palace, but it can only be worse outside the palace. Many people come here just to see his grace.
At the same time, various scandals about Wuliang were also exposed.
Some people say that he pretends to be a fairy on the surface, but in fact he eats, drinks, whores, and gambles, doing everything wrong.
There is a secret room in the Taoist temple where he is, and there are two young women who are as beautiful as flowers and jade.
Some people say that he doesn't know how to make alchemy at all, but he uses it to make money, and most of it goes into his own pocket.
Others say that his identity as a Taoist priest is also fake.
He was originally a little beggar living on the street. He stole the clothes of a Taoist priest. After putting them on, he accidentally became a true Taoist priest.
Wuliang has been in this palace for three years, and many people have resentments against him.
Now that he has fallen off the altar, he will naturally end up with a broken body and a hammer.
Even the truly loyal people cannot escape the fate of being drowned in saliva, not to mention that Wuliang itself has its own problems.
All this was expected by Xue Hengzhao.
She is even happy to see the results.
The snipe and the clam are about to fight, wouldn't it be nice to have some free time to just watch the fight?
