Chapter nine hundred and eighty second ten thousand immortals come to court
In the next period of time, in Lin Ze's opinion, Lie Kou's performance was remarkable.
Every day he would go to Zhuang Zhou's courtyard to sit and talk with him, or follow Zhuang Zhou's instructions and discuss the imperial road with Lin Ze.
Facing Lie Kou with "excellent acting skills", Lin Ze did not dare to look down on him and tried his best to cooperate every time.
After all, the feast is not over yet, so such a good pot king cannot let go easily.
This strange state lasted until the sixth day of July, when Zhang Daoling and the others returned to Chang'an.
The three of them returned to Chang'an and immediately went to Qiming Palace to report back to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze brought the three of them to the main hall, arranged for his servants to bring tea and snacks for the reception, and asked: "I wonder what the outcome of Senior Brother Ling, Lord Shen, and Mr. Mo Zhai's trip will be?"
The three of them looked at each other, and Zhang Daoling was the first to reply: "This time, the three of us will divide the vast world into three areas with Chang'an as the center, and each will look for those heavenly beings."
"For more than a month, I have followed the clues and found a total of 121 heavenly beings and sent invitations. If nothing unexpected happens, these 121 people will come to Chang'an for the banquet tomorrow morning."
The Lord of Mount Tai continued: "The little god went here and found a total of 105 heavenly beings. These people all expressed that they would not be absent."
Mo Zhai said calmly: "One hundred and three people, there are too many people in hiding, and the remaining ones are really hard to find. I hope King Qin won't be surprised."
Lin Ze made a simple calculation: "Three hundred and twenty-nine, plus the more than forty heavenly beings who had taken refuge in the Dao Palace earlier, there are about forty fish that slipped through the net, which is only one tenth."
Lin Ze smiled and had to say that he was actually quite satisfied with the result.
If so many heavenly beings were all registered in the golden book, Lin Ze estimated that the backlash from heaven would be eliminated.
It depends on whether Lie Kou has this ability, or whether Zhuang Zhou has this determination.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze bowed to Zhang Daoling and the others: "Thanks to the three of you for sending the invitations for hosting the new saint's feast, I am very grateful."
Zhang Daoling and the others hurriedly replied: "It's just a matter of duty, junior brother (King Qin), there is no need to be polite."
Lin Ze looked sincere: "The three of you have been running around for more than a month. You must be a little tired. I have prepared a place for you to rest. Why don't you go and rest for a day and witness the grand ceremony together tomorrow."
"After this, if the three of you have any doubts on the Dao, just ask, and I will try my best to ask my teacher or Brother Zhuang Zhou to preach for them."
The three of them had a little more smiles on their faces when they heard this. They had been working hard for a long time. Isn't that just for this?
"Junior brother (King Qin), I'll take my leave now," the three of them said in unison.
Lin Ze nodded slightly: "You three, walk slowly."
After the three people left, Lin Ze immediately shouted: "Come here, please invite the two great immortals Zhuang Zhou Lie Kou to come to the main hall and say that I have something important to discuss with you."
A guard responded outside the palace: "Young man, I obey the order."
After a while, Zhuang Zhou's bandits came hand in hand.
When Zhuang Zhou saw Lin Ze, he asked, "Why did Junior Brother call for Brother Yu to come?"
Lin Ze smiled calmly and said: "Brother, tomorrow is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Brother Dao Ling and the other three have just returned from outside. This time, a total of 329 heavenly beings have received invitations to the banquet. Brother, I specially told my brother,
So that senior brother can be prepared."
Zhuang Zhou didn't take it seriously and said: "Now that things have happened, what else is there to prepare for? Everything should be done as you and I discussed before."
Lin Ze nodded slightly: "Senior Brother, just know what you are doing. As the main person at the banquet, you really don't have to prepare anything. But Senior Brother Liekou, you have a heavy task tomorrow."
Lie Kou smiled and replied: "Junior brother Lin Ze, there is no need to worry about me. I have already prepared and I will definitely not ruin the Dao Palace's plan."
Zhuang Zhou looked at the bandits with a worried look on his face, and asked hesitantly: "Junior brother, are you really going to do something that would risk the disapproval of the world?"
Lin Ze said indifferently: "Senior brother, there is no turning back arrow when the bow is fired. When it is broken, it will be disturbed. If senior brother does not want Daogong to be completely victorious in this catastrophe, junior brother can do nothing."
"Whether you do it or not is ultimately just a matter of a word from senior brother."
Zhuang Zhou looked hesitant. Not only was he worried about the enemy, he was also worried that Lin Ze's move would bring great disadvantages to the Taoist palace.
After all, no one wants to be threatened and give away their excuses.
When Zhuang Zhou was still hesitating, Lie Kou said decisively: "Junior brother Lin Ze has carefully planned a plan. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages for the Taoist palace. How can it be abandoned halfway?"
"Besides, Junior Brother Lin Ze is the key person in the Dao Palace's fight for destiny. Senior Brother should listen to his opinions more."
Lin Ze took a deep look at Lie Kou. The first sentence was okay, but the latter sentence was very interesting. In other words, if he was not a key figure in the fight for destiny, Zhuang Zhou would not listen to him.
Zhuang Zhou sighed: "That's it."
Zhuang Zhou's behavior made Lin Ze very disgusted. He obviously planned for himself and for the sake of the Taoist palace, but he couldn't please him because he was not bright enough.
If it were not forced by the situation, Lin Ze would not be able to argue with certain people as to why Daogong had benefited while he was not welcomed by others.
He took the money and the bitch did it, as if he was forcing her into prostitution?
Lin Ze took a deep breath and said: "Tomorrow is going to be very important. I hope that the two senior brothers will put the overall situation first. I will say goodbye now."
After saying this, Lin Ze walked out of the main hall with heavy steps, stood under the sun, and let the scorching sunshine wreak havoc.
When Zhuang Zhou saw this, he couldn't help being touched. He wanted to follow him and say something, but he was stopped by the enemy.
"Junior brother may need to be alone to adjust his mood. It's best not to disturb him."
Zhuang Zhou sighed after hearing this and stopped moving forward.
…
On the seventh day of July, everything is appropriate.
The sun is surprisingly bright today and there are no clouds in the sky.
Two figures came to the gate of Chang'an City in the clouds and mist.
A sharp-eyed soldier quickly said loudly: "Who is coming from the sky?"
The two figures then stopped, and one of them dropped two invitations and replied: "Xiao Sheng, a San of Wuyi Mountain, and Cao Bao are here to attend the banquet at the invitation of Sage Zhuang Zhou. Please let me go."
The commander on duty at the city gate heard this and replied: "It turns out that he is a reclusive master who has come to the banquet with an invitation in hand. I have been waiting here for a long time under the orders of my Majesty. You two, please get on the carriage and enter the city."
The commander on duty gave an order, and two magnificent carriages were pulled out and displayed in front of Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.
Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao looked at each other, fell from the clouds, and got into the carriage.
"drive"
Special soldiers drove carriages into the city.
After a while, heavenly beings came to the city gate one after another: "Yang Ren, a man from outside the world, was invited to come to congratulate the saint Zhuang Zhou on his sanctification."
"The Taoist Antarctic Immortal has come to congratulate Zhuang Zhou, the great master of the Taoist sect, on his becoming a saint."
…
In just a quarter of an hour, under the guidance of Western Qin soldiers, hundreds of heavenly beings arrived at Qiming Palace and waited peacefully for the feast to begin.
On this day, history books record that the former emperor hosted a banquet for all the immortals, and thousands of immortals came to court, which was unparalleled in the world.
