The next moment, Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly became hot, he looked at Xiao Peng, and suddenly made a move that shocked the old man, Zhao Xu lifted the hem of his clothes, and was about to kneel down on one knee, "Zhao Xu begged Xiao Daxia to take me as an apprentice." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"No, you can't. Xiao Peng stretched out his hand, and a soft energy supported Zhao Xu, and he couldn't worship anymore, "The emperor is the son of heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has the entire Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji tied to his body, how can he abandon the Jiangshan Sheji in order to seek immortality?"

"Can't I be my emperor while cultivating immortals?" Zhao Xu looked at Xiao Peng in confusion and asked.

The old man looked at Xiao Peng with a wry smile when he heard this, Xiao Peng also looked at Zhao Xu with a smile and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know why the First Emperor didn't ask for the immortal medicine? There were many more immortal cultivators in that era than now!"

Zhao Xu was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem, Xiao Peng didn't sell Guanzi, and said bluntly: "You must know that the changes in this world, the rise and fall of the dynasty, is the cycle of heavenly principles, a dynasty, even if it is affected by external forces, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is also passed down from generation to generation, because the Son of Heaven must not be a person forever." ”

"If the Son of Heaven can live forever and take the throne forever, then the Heavenly Dao will inevitably be chaotic, and then the Heavenly Dao will be repeated and clear, and the great catastrophe will descend on the world, so that everything will start over, in other words, if you want to cultivate immortals, you can't be the Son of Heaven, and if you want to be the Son of Heaven, you can't cultivate immortals. ”

"What's more, if you want to take care of both ends, in the end it can only cause a mess at both ends, and you will achieve nothing, if you want to be a good emperor, you must be diligent in the government and politics, and work hard for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, how can you have time to cultivate immortals?"

"If you want to cultivate immortals, you will inevitably abolish the government, and when the traitorous ministers are in power, you will be scolded as a faint king, so why should you be the emperor? ”

Zhao Xu listened to Xiao Peng's words with flickering eyes, and weighed it again and again in his heart, now that the Empress Dowager Gao is regent, she is just a puppet emperor, and she has no real power at all.

If you really seek immortality in the future and learn a supernatural power, when the time comes, wouldn't it be much better than being a puppet emperor who does nothing, yes, that's it, thinking of this, Zhao Xu raised his head firmly and said to Xiao Peng: "Xiao Daxia, I understand, I don't want to be this emperor, I want to cultivate immortals with you." ”

The old man, who was called Cao Lao Zu by Zhao Xu, changed his face drastically when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted softly: "Your Majesty, how can this be done? Do you know what kind of turmoil this decision will bring to the Great Song Dynasty and how much trouble it will cause to Xiao Daxia?"

Xiao Peng waved his hand to Cao Laozu and said: "The predecessors are too worried, trouble or something, it's not a problem, even if the army of the whole Great Song Dynasty comes to encircle and suppress, Xiao is not afraid of it, but the emperor's words made Xiao a little disappointed." ”

Zhao Xu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Xiao Peng in confusion.

"You are the Son of Heaven, this is destined by God, no one can change it, and since you were born in the royal family and sat in this position, then your life is no longer for yourself, you have to be responsible for the position of emperor, you have to be responsible for the people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"I know that you are now a puppet emperor, you are very aggrieved and depressed, but you have to believe that you cannot be a puppet for the rest of your life, and even I calculated that the day of the Empress Dowager Bintian is not far away, and you will soon be able to grasp the power. ”

"You can belittle Sima Guang, Su Dongpo and other old stubborn people who eat the ancients according to the ideas in your heart, and restore Wang Anshi's changes, in fact, Wang Anshi's new law is very beneficial to the power of the Great Song Dynasty, but the first emperor and Wang Anshi were in a bit of a hurry, and the steps were too big, and it was easy to get involved...... Ahem......"

Zhao Xu and Cao Laozu listened to Xiao Peng's words and looked at him in horror, although they all knew that Xiao Peng was a person who cultivated immortals, and it was not unusual to be able to count the birth, old age, sickness and death of others, but what shocked Zhao Xu the most was that he could even calculate his inner thoughts, which was terrifying, so in front of him, who could have a secret at all?

Looking at Zhao Xu's eyes, Xiao Peng's heart turned to understand, shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, I don't have the ability to 'understand his heart', it's just that you are the emperor, and any of your thoughts will have a great impact on future generations, so it is not difficult for me to calculate what will happen in the future and reverse calculate the thoughts in your heart." ”

Zhao Xu and Cao Laozu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"In short, I believe that you will be a good emperor, but your health is indeed too poor, according to your current physical condition, I calculate that your yang life is only twenty-four years, which means that you can only live to twenty-four years at most. ”

"But since you have found me, I will naturally not let you die young, just spend some time, you can adjust your body to be stronger than ordinary people, and it is no problem to live to be seventy or eighty years old, this is still the longevity after counting your extravagant situation in the future. ”

"Ahem...... cough ahemally" Zhao Xu coughed embarrassedly twice, and glanced at Xiao Peng speechlessly, do I look like that kind of absurd and unscrupulous faint king?

Xiao Peng patted Zhao Xu's shoulder when he said this, with an eager expression of expectation, and said: "Do a good job, wait until you one day, destroy the Khitan in the north, the party in Xiping, and sweep the south...... Belch...... Forget about Dali, well, in short, when you let the Great Song Dynasty reappear the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, I will pass on your method of cultivating immortals, take you into the immortal path, enjoy eternal life, and watch your children and grandchildren pass on the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After listening to Xiao Peng's words, Zhao Xu felt his blood boiling and full of ambition, but after a while, the excited expression on his face calmed down, thought about it carefully, and said firmly: "No matter what, I still hope to worship Xiao Daxia as a teacher, and please Xiao Daxia not give up." ”

Xiao Peng stared at Zhao Xu for a moment, and saw that his eyes were sincere and firm, and he still couldn't refuse after all, "Have you really thought about it?" The so-called one day as a teacher and a father for life, the apprenticeship of the Xiuzhen sect is different from the martial arts sect, once you apprentice, it is convenient for me to form a great cause and effect, and fate is convenient for me to be closely connected, and the cause and effect between me and others will also be imposed on you, this is not a joke." ”

Zhao Xu didn't hesitate for a minute when he heard this, he lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down on one knee with his fists clenched again, and this time Xiao Peng didn't stop it again, Cao Laozu's eyes flashed, he sighed lightly, and didn't say anything more.

"The disciple thinks very clearly, no matter how powerful the world is, what is the use? But in a hurry for decades, everything will return to dust, no longer exist, if you don't meet the master, the disciple will not even have it for decades, everything will be like a mirror, the disciple is willing to follow the master into the immortal path, all kinds of cause and effect, and the master to bear together. ”

When Zhao Xu said this, he knelt down on his other leg, kowtowed three times respectfully, and said, "Master, please accept the disciple's worship." ”

"Okay, get up first, come with me!" Xiao Peng waved his hand, helped Zhao Xu up, and then turned around and walked towards the lobby.

Above the lobby, Xiao Peng stood in front of the central patriarch's spiritual seat, took out three pillars of incense, held it upside down in his hand, pressed the green incense with his sword finger, flipped it up, the green incense spontaneously combusted, bowed three times, and said loudly: "Respectfully tell Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Sanmao Zhenjun, King Lushan, Liuding Liujia...... And the listed patriarch, the current disciple Xiao Peng, received the apprentice Zhao Xu, and in the future, he will inherit the inheritance of the Shangqing Taoist system, and I wish the ancestor to protect him. ”

After Xiao Peng finished speaking, he inserted the three-pillar incense into the incense burner, turned his head and motioned to Zhao Xu to kowtow to the ancestral master, and after doing all this, Xiao Peng said to Zhao Xu: "Xu'er, I have told the ancestral master, and you will officially become the successor of my Shangqing sect Maoshan Sect, but the teacher will not teach you the foundation building exercises for the time being, because you are older, if you rely on your own slow cultivation, it will be a little slow after all." ”

"For the teacher, there will be a big opportunity in the rivers and lakes within a year, and then the teacher will send this opportunity to you, so that you can instantly cross the realm of foundation building, and get sixty or seventy years of power out of thin air, and then the teacher will guide your cultivation again, but you can get twice the result with half the effort, and now what you have to do is to condition your body, polish your body, and make yourself stronger, remember?"

Zhao Xu was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and responded: "Yes, the disciple has written it down." ”

Xiao Peng paced a few steps behind his hands behind his back, frowned, and said: "What you lack most now is time, for the teacher is confident that within three years, he will train you to become a peerless master in the rivers and lakes, even against Shangbei Qiao Feng and Nan Murong, and in terms of governing the country, it can also make you a Ming Jun like Tang Zong and Song Zu." ”

"But as the emperor, you can't be away for a long time, and the empress dowager has less than half a year to live, you must go back to the palace to govern, which is a bit difficult. ”
