The second day, morning.
Ningtian Mansion Palace, Yangyi Hall.
The valet had already passed the summons to Zhenren Yufeng yesterday, and the emperor was waiting for someone in the hall to come to the door today.
In the room, there was another man in official uniform waiting with the emperor. This man looked old, with wrinkles deep enough to catch flies and mosquitoes, but his body was quite tough.
"Yin Aiqing, do you think the deeds of the real Yufeng are true or false?"
The emperor looked at this man and asked casually.
"Since this person has a great reputation among the people of Ning Tian, he must have some skills... It's just that this method of calling for wind and rain has never been cultivated by anyone."
The man responded respectfully.
This person's name is Yin Nan, he is the young supervisor of the Sitian Supervisor, and is quite trusted by the emperor.
In the Sitian prison, there are many Taoists who served in the imperial court and were canonized, and there were also people who were prominent in the world.
At present, among the five major sects of the world, the sacred scroll of the Jade Ding Sect of Changmen Mountain is the most prosperous, and it occupies the mainstream in the Sitianjian. The idea of view has "location planning" and "theoretical basis".
And this Yin Nan is one of the members of the Jade Tripod Sect, and he is very favored. This time he accompanied the emperor to the south on his autumn tour.
The emperor pondered and continued to ask: "What about this person's alchemy technique?"
Yin Nan sternly responded: "Yesterday, the minister and the imperial doctor tried the longevity pill, and they used some nourishing medicinal materials, and they were not very clever. The imperial physicians of the Imperial Physician Hall can also use similar methods to make medicine, and there is no harm in eating them. It’s just that I don’t dare to judge the fact of prolonging life. The holy dragon is healthy, it doesn’t matter whether this pill is used or not.”
The emperor blinked and said: "I also heard that this real Yufeng can refine a kind of Zifu longevity pill, which can last for decades, what do you think of Aiqing?"
Yin Nan pretended to ponder, and then slowly said: "I have read all the Taoist classics, but there is never any record of this kind of medicine pill, and the minister does not know how this Master Yufeng unearthed the medicine formula of this Zifu Longevity Pill. It's better to ask this person how to refine it, if there is a successful deed, otherwise I can't tell the truth from the fake with just one name."
The emperor squinted at him, changed the subject, and said with a smile:
"Yin Aiqing meant what he said, but you are saying that this person is very likely to be a swindler, and that Ning Tian's officials have been deceived by the lake, and the widow may also be deceived?"
Yin Nan quickly bowed down and said in fear:
"I have absolutely no intention of this, the sage is wise and wise, who can be deceived? I'm just worried that this person's origin is unknown, and it will be detrimental to the sage... I dared to say, please avoid the sage for the time being, and let me see this real Yufeng. Explore the details, lest this person is a member of the evil sect with malicious intentions."
The emperor didn't care, he waved his hand and said:
"Get up, Yin Aiqing is worried about the safety of the widow. It's not wrong. But I have already passed a verbal order to see him in person. You don't joke. Besides, Ning Tian's senior officials respect this person, so Aiqing doesn't have to worry too much."
"I understand, but please let me cross-examine this person's origins, and observe him with the look of Qi."
Hearing this, Yin Nan stood up and said in a low voice.
The emperor nodded, noncommittal.
How could he not hear the demeaning and ostracizing of Yin Nan's words, but he didn't care about it.
At this time, the eunuch's announcement finally sounded outside:
"Really Yufeng enters the hall!"
Soon, a Taoist priest in a feather-dressed Taoist crown followed two eunuchs into the Hall of Yangyi.
The emperor looked at it for a while, and was immediately startled by the appearance of the real Yufeng.
He didn't expect this person to be so strange, looking like a person from the Western Regions.
"Pindao Lingfengzi, I have seen the saint."
Zhou Jing followed a Taoist bowing etiquette, with a calm tone.
Yesterday, the eunuch came to the door and told him to enter the palace to see the emperor today.
But he didn't take it to heart at all, because he wanted to maintain a high-level attitude, and when we met today, he deliberately only used the etiquette of a monk to see him.
"Bold! I'm lucky to meet Sheng Yan, why don't you worship?"
The eunuch beside him screamed.
The emperor watched silently and did not stop.
Zhou Jing didn't change his face, and deliberately said: "People outside the poor Taoist side have always only worshiped the heaven and the earth and the gods and Buddhas in the temple."
"you… "
What else did the eunuch want to say.
The emperor only interrupted at this time, nodded and said: "Since you are a person outside the square, you can avoid the ceremony. Come, give a seat."
The voice fell, and the waiter immediately brought an embroidered pier and placed it next to him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhou Jing took his seat and spoke freely:
"Your Majesty is dealing with all kinds of opportunities, so I don't know why I have summoned a poor Taoist this time?"
"The name of the real person, I have heard of it in the capital, and I also want to see, what kind of master is it, so that everyone in Ning Tianfu can highly praise and praise it."
The emperor nodded, his face calm.
Zhou Jing smiled and asked, "Then the Holy Master saw the poor Taoist at this time, what do you think?"
The emperor glanced up and down, slightly curious, and asked:
"I'm really surprised. Looking at the real person, it's actually a person from Fanbang in the Western Regions?"
Hearing this, Zhou Jing shook his head and lied: "Pin Dao was born with this appearance, not from the Western Regions."
"Strange people and scholars, most of them are different people." The emperor nodded, and then the conversation changed: "Then I don't know where the real person is from?"
"I have been practicing in the mountains since I was a child, and then I wandered around. The place where I went is my hometown. I don't need to mention the origin of the red dust."
Zhou Jing is still the same old rhetoric, but this time the target of the fool is the emperor, so he added some details.
Yin Nan coughed and asked, "I don't know who the real teacher is?"
"Who is this… "
Zhou Jing had already noticed this person in the field, and after hearing the words, he looked over.
Seeing that the emperor did not stop interjecting, Yin Nan knew that this was tacitly allowing him to interrogate him, so he continued:
"This official is Yin Nan, the young supervisor of the Sitian Supervisor, who was bestowed by the saint as 'Mr. Suguan', and he is a teacher of the Jade Ding Sect of Changmen Mountain."
"Happy to meet."
The name of the Jade Tripod Sect, he heard people say, is one of the five great Taoist sects.
Zhou Jing's heart moved, and he glanced at the person using detection, and found that it was a magician.
Sure enough, the emperor also has people who know how to practice...
Wei Zifu and Miao Xuzi never mentioned the institution of Si Tianjian, but they knew what it was doing when they thought about it.
There must be other practitioners in the world who want to cling to the imperial power, and Daomen Zhengzong is naturally the most powerful competitor among them.
'Therefore, the plan of that demon girl Mei Zhanqing was a idiot at first, completely ignoring the existence of Si Tianjian, because she was full of evil spirits and only approached the emperor, she would be seen through by Si Tianjian. Unless she can meet the emperor alone on a less serious occasion... Well, it doesn't seem impossible. '
Zhou Jing murmured to himself.
The emperor summoned him and specially brought the person from the Sitianjian, obviously to let this person come to explore his bottom.
Fortunately, although I took Mei Zhanqing's two sorcery books, I have never practiced it, and I have been practicing serious skills, otherwise my bottoms will be ripped off...
On the other hand, Yin Nan had already seen Zhou Jing using the Qi technique, and was also taken aback by the signs of "Taoism is natural", and exclaimed in his heart that it was impossible.
However, he had been in the imperial court, and he knew how to hide and not show it.
'This person has a high level of morality, and no one in Changmen Mountain can compare with me. If he comes to compete with us, he is really a formidable enemy. '
Yin Nan secretly felt jealous of Zhou Jing in his heart.
However, Daoxing is not all, whether he can get the holy scroll depends on whether he will please the holy man... I don't know if this person has any intention of clinging to the imperial power. I hope this guy is really an outsider who doesn't care about power.
Yin Nan's original plan was to use words to suppress him, or even compete with spells, if this person was low-minded and did not have a big background, to try to make the emperor feel that this guy was weak and lose interest in this person.
But at this moment, he realized that this real Yufeng was well-deserved, and he had a profound morality. In order to avoid humiliating himself, he gave up the idea and did not intend to suppress him face to face. Instead, he changed his strategy and asked carefully for details.
"I don't know what the real person learned, who inherited it from?" Yin Nan asked again. He has lived in Beijing for a long time, but he has never heard the rumor that Zhou Jing is self-taught.
"I have no family and no sect. I am a cultivator in the mountains and wilds. I have never read many Taoist classics.
Zhou Jing responded casually.
Yin Nan was startled, but quickly came back to his senses and said, "That said, there are always people who lead the way, right? I wonder if the real person can tell me, maybe I know it too."
"Sword Comes"
Zhou Jing rolled his eyes: "That's right, although Pindao didn't have a teacher, he was indeed encouraged when he was young, but it was in a dream."
"Dream, in a dream?"
Yin Nan's eyes widened.
Zhou Jingzheng nodded his head: "Yes, when Pindao was still a child, he was instructed by a fairy in a dream, saying that I had an extraordinary destiny and that I would shoulder a mission in the future. The emperor's deeds that have been named and left in the history... Pindao came to Ningtian Mansion because he felt the mystery of heaven, and this is why he came to see the holy man on this trip."
"you… "
Yin Nan gritted his teeth and cursed shamelessly in his heart.
Everyone is playing metaphysics, and they are experts in flickering people. You actually started in front of me? !
Is it a little too disrespectful to me!
But before he could speak, the emperor became interested and asked curiously:
"The immortal asked for a dream and asked you to help the Emperor Zuo, does it mean the widow?"
Zhou Jing nodded and said deliberately: "The legendary emperor of the generation mentioned by the immortals should be on the body of the saint.
"Hahaha." The emperor was quite happy to hear it: "What the real person said is interesting... Yin Aiqing, do you think it was because few people built the Son of Heaven's View, which had a miraculous effect, and that's how I sensed God."
In his opinion, if immortals can dream, it must be his emperor who has made great achievements.
And after numerous achievements, it is most likely that he built the Temple of the Son of Heaven to quell the dragon veins in the world. This is his proud work, so he alarmed the immortals, so he asked a master like Yufeng Zhenren to come out and help the left.
Thinking of this, he closed the loop directly.
"Uh... that's exactly what I think about it. The Son of Heaven's Observation Gong will last forever. Once it is completed, the country will be continuous and the weather will be smooth. Although it has not been completed yet, it has already begun to show its effects. The lower official congratulates His Majesty on his achievements and touched the gods."
Yin Nan heard the words and reluctantly agreed.
The view of the Son of Heaven is also the reason why the Si Tianjian got the Holy Scroll. Since the emperor thought so, he naturally couldn't dismantle the throne. Set of rhetoric.
When the emperor was interested, he didn't need Yin Nan to ask questions on his behalf, and asked himself:
"Since the real person is instructed by the immortals, his ability is naturally extraordinary. I have heard it by ear, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. I wonder if the real person can show me a hand?"
"What's so difficult about this?"
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, waiting for the other party to speak.
call-
The next moment, the wind shutter moved.
He maintained a sitting posture, but the whole person floated in the air, his robes danced, and a swaying image of an immortal sent out of the dust.
Zhou Jing controlled the wind and floated directly in the hall, and then fell back to his original position, looking at the other party with a smile.
The emperor's lips parted slightly, his eyes lit up, and the surrounding eunuchs were even more stunned.
"Okay! People say that real people have the ability to exhale the wind, but the widow didn't quite believe it. When I saw it today, it was well-known!"
The emperor applauded in amazement and shouted out loud.
He was skeptical of Zhou Jing's words just now, but at this time, his trust suddenly increased.
Beside him, Yin Nan swallowed and was shocked.
He just focused his attention on observation, wanting to see if there was any mechanism in Zhou Jing's body, but in the end he found that this was not a trick at all, it was really flying!
Could it be that the rhetoric of immortals asking for dreams is not bullshit
Yin Nan was a little shaken.
"Just a mere supernatural power, you're embarrassing." Zhou Jing chuckled.
"It's really a mysterious method, it's incredible... By the way, few people have heard of it, but a real person can still make alchemy?"
The emperor couldn't help but ask the most concerned question.
Before the meeting, Yin Nan and the imperial doctor's analysis of the longevity pill, the emperor did not fully believe.
Seeing a miraculous scene at this moment, he even left that analysis behind and wanted to ask himself.
Zhou Jing heard the words and said with a smile: "Yes, the poor Taoist uses zhi grass to make alchemy, which is really beneficial to the human body. It is not a problem to replenish qi, strengthen the body, and treat dark diseases. On this trip, I brought the longevity pill to present to Your Majesty. , Long-term use of this pill can nourish the body and prolong life."
With that said, he took out three bottles of longevity pills and handed them over to the emperor by the eunuch.
The emperor glanced at it. It was in the same shape as the medicine pill presented by the powerful yesterday, but it was more crystal clear and moist. Just smelling it, he felt the fragrance of the medicine overflowing and boosted his spirit.
He didn't care too much about this longevity pill, but looked at Zhou Jing with a little hope:
"I heard that the real person will also refine a medicine that can last for decades, called Zifu Longevity Pill... I don't know where the real person found this medicine, can there be a finished product?"
"There is such a thing. After the immortal's advice, Pindao practiced in the mountains and found this kind of magic pill on his own. After trying thousands of times, he succeeded in refining it once."
Zhou Jing did not change his face, but smiled in his heart.
This is a pie he deliberately released. In fact, it is something that does not exist, but there are many foreshadowings before, and now the emperor has been hooked.
The emperor was pleasantly surprised: "Where is the divine pill refined by a real person now?"
Zhou Jing smiled and said: "This pill can only be made into one pill, and I ate it early. In fact, the poor way is almost old, and it took decades of practice to have the supernatural powers that are today. The reason why it looks young is this pill. effect."
Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help nodding his head.
Reasonable!
This Daoist is very powerful, and he must have practiced the Dao for many years. His actual age is not as young as he looks, so it makes people feel normal.
They asked themselves, if you can make this kind of magic pill, of course, the first one is to eat it yourself.
The emperor was a little impatient, but he still stabilized and said sternly:
"I don't know how to refine this divine pill? In the imperial treasury, there are treasures from all over the world. No matter what kind of precious medicinal materials are needed, I can let people find them!"
Zhou Jing coughed and said solemnly:
"Sacred Lord, the Zifu Longevity Pill is the best fortune in the world. In addition to the medicinal materials, it is necessary to use magic to collect the essence of the five elements, the clear air of heaven and earth, etc. as an introduction. Finally, it must be opened in a special year and time to make pills, otherwise it will inevitably fail. Pindao calculates that it will take at least five years before he can refine this pill."
He made it up in a serious way, and the core idea is just one point - anyway, part of the material of this medicine pill cannot be bought with money, so I can only wait patiently for me to say when it can be refined.
"I see… "
The emperor is a little disappointed, he can't wait to take this kind of elixir right away.
At this time, Zhou Jing blinked and suddenly said:
"Although Pindao can measure the time of day, he is not too proficient in this way, and he may not be able to accurately refine the time of alchemy. If he misses it, he will have to wait for many years. If the sage wants Pindao to refine this pill, Pindao is willing to worship here. Qingliangshan is righteous, and takes pains to learn their secret Tianyuan calculation to ensure that everything is safe."
The emperor regained his senses and said with relief: "I feel very relieved that the real person has a heart... I will issue an decree to let Qingliang Mountain spread the Dharma to you."
Zhou Jing nodded.
He had planned to accept Miao Xuzi's invitation, but at this time he deliberately said it in a different way, that is, to give the emperor a precaution, and by the way, the emperor mistakenly thought that he joined Qingliang Mountain to help him refine alchemy.
At this time, the emperor was calm and made up his mind, suddenly stood up, and said aloud:
"The ability of a real person has opened the eyes of the widow! I will formulate an imperial decree, seal it on you, and give it the title 'Shenxiao Fengling Real Person', and announce it to the world!"
The emperor gave him a number, which is an official certification for himself...
Zhou Jing raised his brows, got up and bowed, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
At this time, the emperor glanced at Yin Nan with a delicate expression, and suddenly said again:
"I don't know if the real person is willing to always accompany the widow and serve me?"
Stay with you... Need to cut your dick
Zhou Jing tried his best to swallow the spit, and asked back:
"I wonder what your majesty's plan is?"
The emperor stroked his beard and smiled and said:
"The widow wants to call the real person to enter the Sitianjian. For the time being, I will become a master bookkeeper and familiarize myself with the affairs. At the same time, I can make alchemy for me. I can meet the widow directly. I don't know what the real man thinks?"
The voice fell.
In Yin Nan's eyes, a trace of fear flashed quietly.
As the saying goes, same-sex repel each other, he can see that this Lingfengzi is by no means a good stubble for fame and fortune, and his ambitions are not small.
This person is highly skilled, and he knows how to compete for favor.
Moreover, this may be the emperor's intention to pull a wild Taoist who has no heels into the Sitianjian, and wants to use this person to balance one or two... Could it be that the emperor has been dissatisfied with the Sitianjian recently
For a while, Yin Nan's thoughts were mixed, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid and worried he became.
