The next day, there were still a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, and the sun was already setting on the top of Dongshan Mountain.
Well, it’s another warm sun in winter.
Getting up early has become a habit. Xiao Luzi saw that He Xian was still in the room and made no movement. He must have had a good sleep, so he couldn't bear to wake him up.
Now after washing up and filling his stomach, the first priority is to go see Liu Ting.
After getting the things from Liu Ting, she flew to the palace alone. Although we don’t know where the emperor’s palace is, it’s not difficult to draw conclusions about where it is prosperous and well-guarded in the sky.
At this moment, Liu Quan was already preparing for today's morning court in the study behind the court hall.
What if someone drags him down before he can even talk to the emperor? It seems he has to think of a good way. Should you rush to him with great fanfare, or run to his ear and whisper your purpose
What should I say when I see the emperor for the first time? Should I kneel or not? Long live the emperor? Your Majesty, how are you? Your Majesty, Wan'an
Looking at the many eunuchs and father-in-laws around the emperor, she had no chance to show up, so she hid on the beam in the study and began to think wildly.
Unknowingly, Xiaoluzi lay on the beam and fell asleep. Later, I finally heard the voice of Liu Quan who came back after retreating from the court and told everyone to retreat.
Xiaoluzi opened his eyes all of a sudden. I saw that everyone in the palace had retreated far away from the door.
The opportunity has come.
In the court, everyone had different opinions on the way he punished Liu Ting, which made him very depressed, so he asked everyone to retreat.
"Raise a glass to relieve your sorrow and make it worse. Your Majesty, why can't you look away?" Xiao Luzi appeared in front of Liu Quan as if he were talking like a senior monk.
Damn, who's talking. For Liu Quan, it was completely frightening.
The woman in front of him was dressed in very shabby clothes, and her makeup was simple. She looked like a beggar who had sneaked into the palace. "Who is coming? Come"
Before Liu Quan could call out "Here comes someone", Xiaoluzi took the lead and said to him slowly, "Your Majesty, I am called Xing Chi. I am the disciple of Master Ren Zhi."
As she spoke, she clasped her hands together and bowed to Liu Quan as a monk.
This attracted Liu Quan's attention. After all, Master Ren Zhi was also a famous monk in the area. After his death, everyone knew that he was transformed into 108 relics. But how did this woman get from the heavily guarded palace to this study? It can appear suddenly, but it is also miraculous.
"Are you Master Ren Zhi's disciple?" Liu Quan looked like he didn't believe it. The more he looked at her, the more shabby he felt. "You are a prostitute and you still have long hair. How can you be said to be Master Ren Zhi's disciple?"
"Your Majesty, the young monk is practicing with his hair. And what a cultivator cultivates is the heart. This relic is the reincarnation of the teacher after his death." Xiao Luzi said it very sincerely, and it is difficult for people to doubt what she said. Fake.
She opened the bag and took out the relics, cassocks and Buddhist beads to show Liu Quan.
With just a few words, how could Liu Quan completely believe in a token that he had never seen before? He said, "How can you prove that this relic was transformed by Master Ren Zhi, and that this cassock Buddha bead was his relic during his lifetime."
"Because I know the elixir." Xiaoluzi replied.
The so-called putting feelings in the heart and blending feelings in the scenery, at this moment, her movements, language and expression are just right.
"Oh, then how can you prove it?" Facing this girl who looked to be in her early twenties, Liu Quan still admired her courage to go to this study and stand in front of him and say that she was Master Ren Zhi's disciple. I am also the most important person in the old world who is used to the intrigues in the officialdom, so how can I trust her so easily.
But if she dares to lie to herself, she will only die.
"Ask the way to immortality in this world. If your faith does not die, you will not perish. Your Majesty, can you understand its meaning?" Xiaoluzi asked. She believed that Liu Quan would be familiar with this sentence.
Liu Quan replied: "But if you want to live forever, you must have an undying faith and an undying heart. That's just for words. Immortality? Easier said than done."
Xiaoluzi asked deliberately: "Your Majesty, don't you know that one hundred and eight relics were transformed into one hundred and eight relics after the death of our master?"
Liu Quan replied: "I know."
Xiaoluzi asked him, "Is there anyone in the world who can do this?"
"No." Liu Quan replied disdainfully.
"Your Majesty still doesn't understand what it means to have undying faith?" Xiaoluzi asked him deliberately.
"How do you understand?" At this time, Liu Quan obviously didn't understand yet.
Xiaolu asked: "Master Ren Zhi, who can transform one hundred and eight relics, do you think his faith is dead?"
Liu Quan replied: "No."
Xiaolu asked: "Then he died?"
"Dead." Liu Quan seemed to suddenly understand what this idiot was telling him.
Liu Quan said in surprise: "You mean that although his body is dead, his heart is not dead, and the one hundred and eight relics that he incarnates after death are a complete elixir of immortality."
"Your child came to my Western Region to look for medicine. If he had not been sincere and upright, Master Jieren would not have told him the secret after asking him three times." Xiaoluzi knew that Liu Quan had slowly followed his thoughts. After leaving, she continued: "I came here this time precisely because of Master Jie Ren's instructions. I hope the emperor will not kill Zhongliang by mistake and really lose the elixir."
Seeing Liu Quan listening to what he said attentively, Xiaoluzi deliberately pretended to say: "Of course, you know, I know, and Master Jieren knows about this. Please be sure to let the fourth person know. Now this relic is only I have five pills saved. I don’t know where the others are, but if Your Majesty doesn’t find them, I’m afraid that this elixir of immortality will be buried in this vast sea of people. I am a monk, and I have a pure heart. Desire, wholeheartedly turn to Buddha, and have no concern for this medicine."
As he said this, Xiaoluzi took out the five relics from his pocket, put them in his hands with his hands together, and sat cross-legged on the ground, imitating the way those eminent monks meditated.
Xiaoluzi recited a string of "Manimani" in an incomprehensible language, and slowly, slowly, he used his inner strength to sit cross-legged in the air.
She tried hard to imitate her uncle's way of making wine, and slowly poured some of her inner energy into the relic.
Liu Quan saw all this as very strange, and sighed in his heart, it seems that Master Ren Zhi's apprentice is also a high-level monk. Although he is a female, his enlightenment is already so high, and he still meditates like this. It is really strange.
After a while, Xiaoluzi saw that this inner energy was almost fully poured into it. Then he slowly descended back to the ground. She slowly stood up and said: "Everything happens because of fate, comes together because of fate, and disperses because of fate. It is fate that you and I met."
Liu Quan nodded.
Seeing this, Xiaoluzi continued: "I hope your majesty can collect the one hundred and eight elixirs of immortality and return the truth to the world. Although my mentor is dead, his kindness will last forever."
Seeing Liu Quan still nodding, Xiaoluzi said: "I searched for this relic all the way to Yangcheng, heard about it all the way, and found it all the way to the palace. Your majesty almost made a big mistake. Now that I have fulfilled my wish, I have to leave. This I will give these five relics to you, into which I have poured my whole life’s cultivation.”
Liu Quan asked hurriedly: "Oh, Master, can you tell me how I can refine this relic into a medicine of immortality, or how to eat it."
At this moment, Liu Quan was already very interested in this elixir of immortality and was determined to get it.
Xiaoluzi took the relic in his hand, squeezed it, and said: "Your Majesty, of course it is one pill every half a year. If you are impatient, you can take one pill every month. After eight years, you will be able to rejuvenate yourself. But if you take one pill every month, you will be young again." If the relic is broken in any month, all previous efforts will be wasted. As for the relic, how you find it and how you eat it is up to your Majesty to decide for yourself."
Xiaoluzi didn't dare to talk nonsense about this. If he ate five pills a day, he might die from abdominal distension and diarrhea.
Just wait until he has digested it and take one pill, and then take another pill after he has digested it.
If he thought about eating up the missing relics in eight years, and then one month would break, and who would he cry to, he would probably adopt a plan of eating them every six months.
But within a few years, the Liu family's power was not taken away by Chu Sheng. The world is dangerous, who knows what kind of accidents he will encounter.
"You mean, we must collect 108 pills in order to achieve the miraculous effect of immortality? Can't miss any of them? Can you let me try one first?" Liu Quan thought to himself, this is really the elixir of death, so he took it first. , try the effect.
Seeing that Liu Quan had taken the bait, Xiao Luzi secretly rejoiced and said, "It doesn't matter." She slowly walked forward and handed a relic to Liu Quan's hand.
Liu Quan took it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and found that it was indeed a rare relic in the world. Then he put it in his mouth, picked up the tea cup, swallowed it in one gulp, and took a sip of water.
At this time, he only felt hot all over his body, as if his weak internal strength was slowly expanding in his body, but he felt refreshed. This feeling was so good that he felt like he was ten years younger. At this moment, he also believed that this relic was undoubtedly the medicine of immortality.
"Master Xingchi, can you guarantee that the fourth person will not know about this matter." At this time, Liu Quan had already taken the initiative to mention to Xingchi that the fourth person should not know about it. It seems that Xiaoluzi's plan was half successful. That’s all.
"Your Majesty, of course not. If I hadn't told you this, I'm afraid this secret would have died in your heart. However, it is because you have a fate with this relic. It seems that this relic will fall into your mouth at this moment. Same thing." When Liu Quan was talking to Xiaoluzi, Xiaoluzi pretended to be a real eminent monk and explained everything to him.
Liu Quan nodded confidently, it was indeed the case. This elixir of immortality was destined to be with him. It was born to benefit the people of his Liu family from generation to generation. This was destiny and fate.
Liu Quan thought to himself that at this time Liu Ting was not only unable to kill him, but also needed to put him to good use. First, he became familiar with the whereabouts of the relic. Secondly, his family's life is in his own hands, and this is his chance to make amends.
"Your Majesty, please remember that if the fourth person knows about this, I may never be able to find the elixir of immortality, and my ambition in life will eventually become a dream. I hope your Majesty will think twice before acting." Sitting there, Xiaoluzi pretended to place all her hopes in Liu Quan's hands, so she handed the remaining four relics to Liu Quan's hands.
Liu Quan nodded. There was no need for Xing Chi to remind him. After all, he was not far from immortality.
"Your Majesty, the fifth day of next month is the day when I will return to Buddhism. I will carry my master's mantle and be buried in the ends of the earth."
Xiaoluzi's ability to play tricks on others is still very strong. After all, his goal has been achieved, and he is too lazy to say anything to the greedy Liu Quan. Leaving this cassock behind would leave Liu Quan with the opportunity to look for him.
"Master, can you stay for a few more days?" Liu Quan pretended to beg him to stay. If Xing Mo really stayed in the palace, he would be afraid of endless troubles, so he must be eliminated.
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. I believe you know very well that the fewer people who know me, the better. We will never see you again."
After saying that, Xiaoluzi had already wrapped the cassock beads and flew from Liu Quan's sight to the other side of his study. It was right to show off his strength at this time. After all, he wanted Liu Quan to know how powerful he was. .
When Liu Quan saw the scene in front of him, he secretly sighed in his heart, what a great eminent monk who came and went without a trace. It seems that Taoism is not as good as Buddhism, so he should build a temple to support him.
If that outstanding master also transformed into a relic after passing away for a hundred years, wouldn't he be able to let his beloved little concubine accompany him for thousands of years
But this matter must not be known to your queen, princess, concubine, or son, absolutely not.
Seeing that Liu Quan could no longer see him, Xiaoluzi quietly stopped under the window, turned sideways and looked out the window. After the patrolling imperial guards left, he quietly climbed out.
Acting on the internal force, it suddenly flew high and disappeared.
The flying Xiaoluzi was thinking all the way that although Liu Quan was not easy to cheat, he was greedy and there was no way to be reasonable with such a person.
So first arouse his curiosity and then give him some benefits.
When he talks about things, you describe his things in a way that agrees with his reasoning. If he reasons with you, you are telling him what is best for him, and there is no harm in doing anything.
Xiao Luzi kept shouting, Master Ren Zhi is indeed sorry, sorry, not only borrowed your name, but also used your relics, sorry, sorry.
After returning to the inn, it was already afternoon.
Xiaoluzi packed up her package, carried her sword, and picked up her donkey. It was time to leave. This place was no longer suitable to stay for a long time.
I wanted to say goodbye to Brother He Xian, but he had already gone out. So he asked the store owner to leave a message saying that he was looking for Chang Gusheng.
It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household chores, so naturally she cannot help with the He Xian family. She can only help He Xian so far, that's all.
Besides, Xiao Luzi didn't even think about feelings, and she couldn't even think about other people's.
As for what will happen between He Xian and the princess in the late Qing Dynasty, it depends on how they handle it.
We are wanderers along the way.
The Buddha was still able to cut meat and feed it to eagles, and the eminent monk Ren Zhi also did a good deed that benefited hundreds of people after his death. Is this the origin and fall of destiny, a good beginning and a good ending
What is lost will eventually come back. What came back was already lost. Dependent origination and fate depend on the heart, cultivating the world and cultivating the nature depend on the practice.
