Lu Zhu was scalded by boiling oil, his palms were in unbearable pain, jumping around, shaking his hands, very painful, but he understood in his heart that this time there was a mistake, and it was a big mistake in front of the emperor, if the emperor blamed it, he could not protect Lu Zhu was quite anxious, at this time, if he confessed to the emperor and asked for forgiveness, even if King Langya would intercede for him and save his life, then he would never have a day to come out, and immediately knelt down, facing south, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and hissed: "The emperor of the land official forgives the sins of the emperor of the land, and the emperor forgives the sins of the emperor of the land."

Seeing the sudden change, Lu Ke's four disciples were so frightened that they also knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted: "The Diguan Emperor forgives his sins." ”

Emperor Sima Pi retreated to the imperial bed with the support of King Langya and his chamberlain, his cheeks were hot and painful, and he asked his younger brother Sima Yi to help him see that there were a few red spots, which were oily, but fortunately there were only three or four small spots, which were not serious.

Outside the gate of the east hall of the Taiji Palace, the leader of the army Huan Mi rushed with a team of guards, and saw that the emperor Sima Pi was sitting on the imperial bed safe and sound, relieved his heart, and asked loudly: "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”

Emperor Sima Pi can be said to be frightened today, before Lu Zhu said that there was a female ghost in the hall, this will jump and shake his hands like crazy, and kneel down and kowtow to his head, is it crazy? At this time, seeing that Huan Mi led the troops to the palace, his heart was calmer, and he said: "General Huan, this Lu sacrifice is crazy with alcohol, drag him out ......"

This dragged out is over, there is no chance to distinguish, Lu Jun kowtowed to the south, and explained: "Your Majesty, Poor Dao has not lost his mind, when Poor Dao got up early to recite the "Sanyuan Precept Sutra" to the Sanguan Emperor, he had distracting thoughts and was not pious, and when he cast the spell, the local official and the emperor punished him, causing the poor Dao's hands to be burned, and the local official emperor forgave the sins of the local official emperor."

Chen Caozhi looked at Lu Zhu's embarrassed appearance, his hands on the ground were red and swollen, and the epidermis of his ten fingers was completely off, and he said in his heart: "This is a punishment for you pretending to be a ghost!" The deception of slaying ghosts and bleeding, after two days, I ordered the shock to be quietly spread, explaining its hypocrisy, and also making those foolish men and fools less deceived, and Emperor Sima Pi will also be alert to this matter.

Lu Zhu was introduced to the emperor by Sima Yi, the king of Langya, and now Lu Zhu made a fool of himself and burned the emperor, Sima Yi could not escape the blame, so he naturally wanted to excuse Lu Zhu, and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Xianjiu is not pious because of serving the local officials and emperors, which caused this misfortune, and the younger brother did not notice it, and rashly introduced it, causing the emperor to burn, please ask the emperor to surrender." ”

Sima Crooked and Sima Yi are siblings and have a close relationship, Sima Pi will not blame Sima Yi for this, ** the spicy red spots on his cheeks, and said: "Ah Ling, what does this have to do with you, this is Lu Zhu's insincerity in serving the Emperor of the Three Officials, Lu Jun, and raised his hand to show me." ”

The previous emperor called Lu Zhu Lu Sacrificial Wine and Lu Immortal Master, and then he called Lu Zhu directly, which was very disrespectful.

Lu Zhu turned around, walked on his knees, and raised a pair of peeling and red and swollen hands to show Emperor Sima Pi, Sima Sheng only glanced at it, then frowned and said: "Go out, go out, go out quickly, look at it and make me vomit." ”

Lu Zhu endured the pain and humiliation, hastily packed up the utensils, and took the four disciples out of the palace in a panic under the escort of Huan Mi.

Emperor Sima Pi saw that Lu Zhu was gone, looked at Chen Caozhi, shook his head and said: "Chen Caozhi doesn't know how to make alchemy, and Lu Zhu is even more famous, which really disappoints me." He got up and said, "I'm tired of thinking and want to go back to Zhongzhai to rest." ”

Everyone in the hall hurriedly got up to send off the imperial driver, and the emperor Sima Pi gave a salute to the emperor's uncle Sima Yu, and left with a few attendants.

Sima Yu and Sima Yi looked at each other, Lu Zhu's spell was really like a farce, the oil and vinegar in the bronze tripod were still there, and the hall was full of oil smoke, Sima Yu hurriedly ordered someone to remove the charcoal fire and carry the bronze tripod away.

Sima Yi, the king of Langya, felt that he had lost face and hurriedly left.

Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, was quite helpless to Emperor Sima Pi ignoring the government and seeking the elixir of immortality, shook his head, and didn't want to say anything more, and said to Chen Caozhi: "Cao Zhi will go out of the palace with this king?" ”

Chen Caozhi responded: "The king, please." With Zhang Ping, Wang Biao followed Sima Yu out of the East Hall, but heard someone behind him calling: "Qian Tang Chen Gongzi, please wait." ”

Chen Caozhi stopped and returned, but saw Gao Song in the middle of the service step forward quickly, and arched his hand: "Gao has something to discuss with Chen Gongzi." ”

Sima Yu smiled and asked, "Is it difficult for Gao Shizhong to argue with Cao?" ”

Gao Song shook his head and said, "No, Song has something to ask Chen Gongzi for advice, let's talk while walking." Gao Song is upright and withdrawn, advocating Confucianism, quite dissatisfied with Zhengshi Xuanfeng, and laughing at the celebrities of the Qing Dynasty, three years ago Xie An should be hired by Huan Wen to serve in Xifu, Jiankang celebrities saw off Xie An in Xinting, and stood Gao Song mocked: "Qing is tired of violating the decree of the court, lying high in the East Mountain, everyone is talking to each other, An Shi refuses to come out, will be like the common people!" What will the common people be like today? It means that Xie An is out of the mountain now, and he has no benefit to the people in the world, it is nothing more than a false name and exaggeration, Xie An just smiled at the time and did not refute it.

For Chen Caozhi, he knows that Xie An is a first-class person who turned the tide in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and this Gao Song's rejection of all Qing talks about celebrities is obviously overkill, I really don't know how Gao Song was promoted to a high position in the service, he Chen Cao is also famous for his metaphysics, so do you have to mock him?

Sima Yu went first with Wang Biaozhi and Zhang Ping, Chen Caozhi and Gao Song fell behind, Chen Caozhi arched his hand and said: "What do you have to teach in the high waiter?" ”

Gao Song looked sideways at this young man who was known as Wang Bi's reincarnation and Wei Jue's resurrection, smiled slightly, and asked, "Chen Gongzi has an old grudge against that Lu Zhu?" ”

Chen Caoyi heard Gao Song's words, and guessed that Gao Song might have seen that he had moved the celadon bowl in the East Hall of the Taiji Palace, so he had doubts, which really responded to the sentence "If people don't know, unless they don't do it" Although there was some confusion at the time, but people with a heart could still show the secret, so he said: "Cao Zhi today is the second time I saw Lu Sacrifice Wine, the last time we met was five days ago at the wedding of Huan County Duke and Xin'an County Lord, just a few words, why do you have old grievances?" ”

Gao Song said bluntly: "Lu Zhu's spell failed, is it related to Chen Gongzi's replacement of his celadon bowl?" ”

Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "Gao Shizhong's eyes are really like a torch, Cao Zhi admires, since Gao Shizhong has seen it, Cao Zhi does not hide it, Cao Zhi has no grudge against Lu Xijiu, but he is quite indignant at his use of left-handed techniques to confuse the monarch, Cao Zhi thinks that Confucianism and benevolence are the right way to govern the country, and such ill-intentioned Fang Shi should be rejected from the palace." ”

Gao Song heard that Chen Caozhi advocated benevolence and Confucianism, and greatly appreciated it, but said: "So that Lu Zhuyouding was burned, not the punishment of the local officials, but the punishment imposed by Chen Gongzi, dare to ask Chen Gongzi how to break his demon magic?" ”

Chen Caozhi didn't want to be reassociated with Gao Song, who met for the first time, and he knew a lot of things in his heart, okay, he didn't have to explain everything to others, otherwise he would cause trouble, so he said: "Cao Zhi doesn't believe in Lu Zhu's so-called sneaking is not suffocating, and he is not hot in the fire, that is the supreme realm advertised by Zhuangzi, and Lu Zhu is very human?" He Yingying is like this! ”

Gao Song sighed: "Yes, Chen Gongzi is extraordinary. ”

Chen Caozhi said again: ...... I saw that Lu Zhu ordered the servant to take ten catties of green oil, not directly into the green pot but to inject five celadon bowls first, wouldn't it be too much, and the five celadon bowls obviously more than ten catties of oil, there must be something else, and Lu Jun's disciples seem to be quite particular about the order of the five celadon bowls, I was a young man for a while, so I deliberately changed its order, I didn't expect that there would be a later result, I don't know what the reason is, in short, Lu Zhu is not a fairy, but a deception. ”

Gao Song didn't believe that Chen Caozhi's move was because of the young man's heart, looking at Chen Caozhi, Chen Caozhi's eyes were clear, smiling at each other, Gao Song said: "Chen Gongzi's move is for the emperor to abandon a demon minister, which can be said to be due to the society." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "How dare you take credit, Lu Zhu is gone, and this matter is still a secret from the senior servants." ”

Gao Song nodded and said: "Chen Gongzi rest assured, Gao will not talk about this matter to others, otherwise Gao will not avoid returning to King Huiji and talk to you about this alone." ”

Chen Caozhi and Gao Song said goodbye to each other on the bank of the dry river outside the palace gate, took an ox cart, and took Ran Sheng back to the mansion.

Gao Song stood under the fine willows by the river, looked at the ox cart in the distance, and said in his heart: "This Chen Caozhi has such a scheming in the year of his weak crown, and he quietly makes Lu Zhu ruined, introverted and deep, and it is difficult to fathom his heart, but Chen Cao's words of Confucianism and benevolence are really the same way."

When Chen Caozhi returned to Gu's mansion, he saw that Chestnut had been waiting in the gatehouse of Gu's Mansion for a long time, but it was Mrs. 6 who learned that the emperor had summoned Chen Caozhi and did not know the good luck, so she sent Chestnut to inquire.

Chen Caozhi briefly talked about the summons, and Chestnut was surprised when he heard that Lu Zhu's method failed and he was expelled:

"There is such a thing! So this Lu Dao does not have any immortal arts, that Liulangjun, that is, 6 birds 6 Langjun also instigated my wife to worship that Lu sacrificial wine as a teacher, saying that Lu Dao prayed for blessings and disasters to ask for illness and children, all of which should not be fulfilled, my wife believed it was true, and was preparing to go to the Zhidu Mountain Daoist Hall tomorrow to ask for blessings... a"

Chen Caozhi raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart: "It's so dangerous, if Mrs. 6 worships Lu Wei as a teacher, then there will be more twists and turns between me and Wei Rui, and this Lu Zhu's "Lao Tzu Xiang'er Note" is the male and female achigo technique, this kind of male and female achigo cultivation often causes group chaos, if Mrs. 6 falls into it and is defiled and innocent, it is really a tragedy." Said: "Chestnut, tell Mrs. 6 on my behalf, you can't go to the Taoist Hall, Lu Zhu is a demon, he was repelled by the emperor, there is no place for him in Beijing, and he will return to Xuzhou in the near future." "Ordered Xiaochan to take 200 dollars and reward chestnuts.

Chestnut went back to the 6th mansion to tell Mrs. 6 what Chen Caozhi said, and Mrs. 6 Zhang Wenjun was surprised:

"And this kind of thing, Lu Dao is actually a demon."

It happened that 6 birds came to ask the third uncle and mother about going to the Zhidu Mountain Daoist Hall tomorrow, and Mrs. 6 said that Lu Zhu's practice in the palace was repulsed for failure, 6 birds didn't believe it, and asked where did the chestnut hear the rumors? Chestnut does not say that it is what Chen Caozhi said, but only that it is a rumor heard outside.

6 The bird pointed at the chestnut and said angrily: "You slave, when you hear some rumors, you come to slander Lu Dao, I will go to Zhidu Mountain to ask what is going on, and when I come back, Uncle Ming will break your legs!" ”

6 Poultry went, and he didn't dare to be in his uncle 6 Nafu for a few days after that, because when he went to Zhidu Mountain, what he saw was Lu Zhu's hands tightly bandaged, and the smell of herbs was pungent, and the disciples brought by Lu Zhu from Xuzhou were packing up and preparing to serve Lu Zhu back to Xuzhou to recuperate.
