Chapter 166: Harming others is not harming oneself
readx;? With a bun on his head, a hairpin inserted, and a bright yellow robe on his body, the emperor Ai Hong, who is more than half a hundred years old, has a thin face, which is quite similar to the four princes, if it is not for the majesty brought by the lord of the world for more than 30 years, he looks like an extraordinary monk. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's a pity that his appearance at this time does not reflect the slightest majesty and extraordinary, his eyes are half-closed, his face is red, his expression is fluttering, and there is even an unknown liquid flashing at the corners of his mouth and nose, which does not seem to be the master of thousands of people.
Seeing his appearance, Zhen Xuzi was a little itchy, and he couldn't wait to take a pill of the ascending elixir himself, that feeling really made him reminisce, and secretly said in his heart: "Before I say goodbye to the old man and return to my hometown, I must let these two Taoist priests refine a few furnaces of ascending elixir for me, and I have the right to compensate." ”
After a while, Ai Hong sniffed, pursed his lips, his eyes slowly opened, his pupils became clear after a while, but he was full of spirit, he laughed: "It is worthy of the elixir of ascension, not only let me feel the fun of immortals, but also make my body greatly improved. Zhenxu Zhenren, you come to open the furnace, and then refine a furnace of ascending elixir, once successful, I will entitle you as the national teacher of the dynasty at the Great Dynasty Meeting, well, the elixir is afraid that it is not easy to refine, you will live temporarily in the side hall of Huaqing Palace today. ”
has been an emperor for more than 30 years, and has seen all the ups and downs, how can Ai Hong be easy to deceive, originally he had no doubts, but today when he saw Zhen Xuzi coming in with two strange Taoist priests, he said that he was a new disciple. Long at alchemy. There is something strange in my heart, I am afraid that it is the elixir offered by these two strange Taoist priests, but I can't see myself directly. can only pass through Zhen Xuzi, and the two sides must have reached some deal secretly, but Ai Hong will not wear it. This kind of small action, careful thinking as long as it is beneficial to yourself, the water is clear, there are no fish, of course, it is necessary to knock it.
Zhen Xuzi almost came down in a cold sweat, fortunately he agreed to them, fortunately he took them into the palace, otherwise the emperor's whim would come out like this, and he could only use the excuse that the herbs were not fully prepared and delayed for a while. Or after learning the alchemy completely, he will offer the elixir, but that may attract the attention of Zhu Guoshi. Danger.
"You two go and fix the fire. Prepare herbs. Zhen Xuzi turned to Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu who were standing quietly behind him.
Ai Hong folded his hands behind his back and watched with a faint smile. But at this time, a little eunuch walked to the door of the Dan room, knelt down and said: "The slave sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
"What's the matter?" Ai Hong asked lightly.
The little eunuch replied clearly: "Your Majesty, the four princes ask to see you, and you also have a woman who is good at dancing swords." ”
"The fourth brother rushed back desperately, just to offer a good sword weapon to me? Hmph, he is still a little filial. Ai Hong's face paleated slightly, and he groaned for a while, "Since this is the case, I will give a banquet to the hundred officials, and gather those sword masters in the palace to appear together, I want to see what is strange about that woman, so that the fourth child can make such a move." ”
After the order went down, Ai Hong didn't let the four princes meet him to show his beating, he turned his head to look at Zhen Xu Zi and said with a smile: "The real person is here, it is the right time, it is better to accompany me to watch the sword dance tonight." ”
Zhen Xuzi was overjoyed, on weekdays, the emperor asked Zhu Guoshi to accompany him, and he replied with a smile: "I have thanked the emperor for his grace, but this elixir?"
"The elixir will definitely take a long time, and it's not too late to refine it tomorrow. Ai Hong didn't care about the authenticity, anyway, there were still a few grains, "Mingen, go and invite the national teacher to the banquet together." ”
Not alone, Zhen Xuzi was a little disappointed, but soon rejoiced, no matter what, compared to before, it was also a big step forward, but he was worried about another thing, and turned his head to look at Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu, afraid that if they wanted to force themselves to follow him, it would be very troublesome.
But Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu are all standing quietly aside, looking at the nose and the nose looking at the heart, like a wood carving.
"They still understand the way to advance and retreat, and they know that they have to plan it slowly, and they can't be in a hurry, which will ruin the impression in the emperor's mind. Zhen Xuzi put his mind at ease, and his perception of Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu was a little better.
It didn't take long for a middle-aged man in a vermilion robe to follow the great eunuch Ming En in, it was Zhu Shang, the national teacher of the dynasty, who looked majestic, unsmiling, with short hair on the top, and looked like a monk and a monk.
As soon as he entered, Shi Xuan's heart sank, and Fang Yuan's heart seemed to be thrown into a stone, causing slight ripples.
Zhu Shang's eyes looked at Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu, it was deep and dark, it was difficult to see the bottom, as if he wanted to devour his soul, he didn't believe that Zhen Xuzi, an old Taoist priest who could only brag, could refine any elixir, these two strange Taoist priests must have something weird, wait for himself to shock their souls and let them show their ugliness!
As soon as he saw Zhu Shang's appearance, Zhen Xu Zi was secretly - his voice was not good, he had suffered a big loss under the eyes of Zhu Shang, the dementor, if it weren't for being well-informed, good at words, and the elixir was useful, he would have been beheaded by the emperor by the emperor at noon. was forced to cooperate before, and under the resentment, he didn't tell the two of them about the supernatural things in Zhu Shang's eyes, if they were in a trance, they made any outrageous moves, or said that they leaked their mouths, and the crime of bullying the king would be beheaded.
He wanted to remind him out loud, but his throat seemed to be pressed by something, and it was difficult to make a sound, understanding that Zhu Shang's cultivation had improved again, even if he didn't look at each other, he could do this, and the cold sweat suddenly came out densely.
But what Zhu Shang saw was a pair of smiling eyes, the pupils were dark and deep, and the stars were shining, running in a mysterious trajectory, seeing these eyes, it was like seeing the starry sky overhead, but it was very different, vast, grand and eternal, and terrifying.
Zhu Shang couldn't tell what the difference was, and he felt that his entire soul was going to be dizzy with the movement of the stars.
After an instant, Zhu Shang was clear, and realized that what he saw was still the young man, his pupils were dark, but there was no difference, and the starry sky just now was like an illusion of his own.
"Okay, national teacher, real person, follow me to Qianyang Palace, I have nothing to do, it is better to talk about the way of immortality, and wait for the evening. Ai Hong couldn't see Zhu Shang's careful thinking, and the exit made a round, so that Zhu Shang didn't dare to try again.
Seeing that Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu did not act out of the ordinary, Zhen Xu Zi breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that his palms were full of sweat.
Out of the Huaqing Palace, Ai Hong saw that the national teacher and the real person were respectful, and he was proud of his emperor's balancing technique, so he couldn't help but say: "I heard that the national teacher has been studying the way of alchemy recently, have you gained anything?"
After asking, no one answered, Ai Hong was angry, turned his head to look, and saw Zhu Shang's face was dull, his face was flushed, and he muttered to himself: "It's hot, it's hot......"
While talking to himself, he began to undress and remove his robe, and in just two breaths, he put on his body, and saw Ai Hong, the eunuchs, the guards, and Zhen Xuzi stunned.
When Zhu Shang was about to take off his underwear, he was shocked, his mind came to his senses, he looked in front of him, and then at his body, and suddenly he was ashamed and angry and hurriedly put on his clothes, and understood the young man's way, this was a hint that he let them show their ugliness!
"The minister is unwell, please ask the emperor to retire early. Zhu Shang only felt that he had no face, and all the eyes around him were full of ridicule.
Ai Hong didn't know much about the supernatural things of the national teacher, but it didn't prevent him from understanding that the national teacher was harming others and not harming himself, so he smiled and said: "On the dog days, it is indeed very hot, and the national teacher will go to Qianyang Palace to escape the heat. In his heart, he secretly said, "Those who can refine the elixir are really not ordinary people, and when they are finished this time, they have to give some sweetness." ”
The emperor forcibly invited, and Zhu Shang was reluctant to take the promising official position of the national teacher, so he had to follow cheekily, while Zhen Xu Zi held back a smile and walked briskly: "The character who can restrain the old way as soon as he comes to the door, how can it be easy, Zhu Shang, you really deserve it." ”
......
In the side hall of Huaqing Palace, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu sat opposite each other.
Waiting until there was no one around, Mo Jingqiu smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the national teacher was gifted in the soul, and the power of shocking the soul was almost magical, but it was a pity that when I met a mellow and clear Yushi like us, not only could not shake a bit, but was bounced back." ”
"In the land of the end of the Fa, after an unknown number of thousands of years of evolution, when the path to the development of the 'Fa' is blocked, there will naturally be other ways of change, such as there may be aliens who specialize in cultivating the mind, but no matter which direction they go, it is difficult to break through the shackles and reach the level of the Fa, like our mind is because of thousands of years of cultivation, and no one here can do it. Shi Xuan speculated with interest.
Mo Jingqiu nodded: "The end method is not just the Dao method. After a pause, she chuckled softly, "Tonight should go better than expected." ”
Originally, Shi Xuan and Mo Jingqiu planned to take advantage of the night and rely on telepathy to sneak into the ancestral temple, if they couldn't stay overnight, they would find an opportunity to touch it directly during the day, so as to fight fast and slowly, after all, the palace is vast, even if there are many guards, there must be omissions in the inspection, especially far away from the emperor's place, but I didn't expect that not only did it stay smoothly, but there was also a sword dance tonight that attracted most of the attention.
"Then let's take care of our bodies and minds, and wait quietly for the evening. Shi Xuan said.
......
Outside the Minghua Palace, the lights are bright, there are many cases, ministers, princes, and generals have been seated, waiting for the arrival of the emperor, some are looking forward to it, some are very disdainful, and some are simply ready to play the badge.
The fourth prince sat at the bottom of the stairs, and did not react to the hostile, disgusted, respectful, or respectful gaze, even if the third prince deliberately walked in front of him.
He just looked at the square in front of him stupidly, as if there was a smiling, slender and weak figure standing there, and said firmly in his heart: "Jing'er, you have made such a big sacrifice for me, and your heart and mind are all for my imperial hegemony, and I will not live up to you, if you can get the great treasure, I will definitely take you as the queen, and no longer let you be in the eyes of so many men." ”
