The alchemy room of the Yuxi Palace was filled with smoke and fire, which came from a seven-foot-tall copper beast devouring alchemy furnace. On a hot day, sixteen Taoist priests wearing cyan Taoist robes sat around the fireplace according to the Tai Chi Bagua Great Array, and at the eyes of the Yin and Yang arrays, His Majesty the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and Lu Bing and Lu Taibao sat impressively!

A middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a purple and gold crown, wearing an apricot yellow robe, and walking freely, stood outside the formation and stared nervously at the raging flames. In the entire Jiajing Dynasty, the first one to wear it was Shao Yuanjie; The second is Tao Zhongwen, since Tao Zhongwen returned to Longhu Mountain five years ago, it has been empty for several years, and now he finally has a new owner.

To say that this new Heavenly Master, but the one who opened the world and changed the dynasty, he actually broke the century-old monopoly of the Longhu Mountain family on the position of the Heavenly Master, and ascended to the position of the chief Taoist of Taoism in the world as a Taoist priest of the Qing Palace on Laoshan Mountain, Shandong...... Relying on nature is naturally not Tao Zhongwen's favor, but a unique skill to help Luan with one hand!

He is Lan Daoxing, when Jiajing came to the capital in the thirty-fourth year, he was still a down-and-out Taoist priest who couldn't eat, and he met Shen Mo by mistake, and with his help, he easily entered the Heavenly Master's Mansion and became an unappreciated peripheral disciple.

should also be his career, and soon after Tao Zhongwen became seriously ill and bedridden, he had to let his disciples take turns to enter the palace to serve the emperor...... Of course, in order to maintain the orthodoxy of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, he only sent disciples who were in the Heavenly Master Dao, and those raised by a stepmother like Lan Daoxing would not be able to line up for a hundred years.

Lan Daoxing was very angry, not because he couldn't get into the palace to see the emperor, but because he hated this kind of favoritism and nepotism the most...... Wasn't the reason why he rebelled out of the Shangqing Palace back then because the master treated him unfairly?

So the more he doesn't let him go, the more he wants to go, and the more he doesn't want him to come out, the more he has to mix up as a person. He said that he had made friends with a few senior brothers who had been grinding at night, and asked them to give themselves a day...... He is bold, righteous and squandering, and everyone likes him very much, so once, a senior brother had diarrhea, so he gave him the opportunity to be on an errand.

There is a way that the opportunity can not be stopped, and the fate can not be stopped, that day just in time for Jiajing to be in a good mood, looking at him more faceless, and bearded and burly, dignified appearance, not like other Taoist priests who are fat and thin, either overeating, or overindulgent.

On a whim, Jiajing asked him, where are you from? Lan Daoxing said that the poor road came from Shandong. This made Jiajing very rare, and said with a smile: "You are a disciple of the Shangqing Palace, how can you worship under the door of the Heavenly Master." ”

Lan Daoxing said loudly: "I heard people say that the superiors are both listening to the light, partial listening is dark, although the Heavenly Master Dao is good, but it cannot represent all Taoists, Your Majesty wants to become a great way, you have to listen to the Taoism of each family, the optical Heavenly Master Dao, is far from enough!" ”

Although these words were carefully prepared by him, but the level was limited, and it was really not very clever, but fortunately, when Emperor Jiajing had made no progress in cultivation and was depressed, when he heard this sentence, he felt very reasonable, so he pretended to be unhappy and said: "What ability do you have, and you dare to come to teach me?" ”

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty," Lan Daoxing said mysteriously: "Weichen is a Zigu boy...... His honest face is always easy to be credulous.

As soon as he heard that he could actually communicate with Zigu, Jiajing was completely interested, and said, "You can predict now that something unusual will happen in the palace in the next few days." ”

Lan Daoxing convulsed like a convulsion, and four crooked big characters immediately appeared on the sand table, which was 'fire tonight'. Jiajing was suspicious, and asked him to go back and wait first, and then come back to see him the next day.

When he came back the next day, Lan Daoxing saw Emperor Jiajing's admiration on his face, and he was almost like throwing himself to the ground. It turned out that there was a fire in the palace last night, but fortunately, the palace people were warned in advance and extinguished the fire early, and in the end only a few houses were burned, and there were no casualties.

Jiajing admired it, and sealed him as a 'Master of Protecting the Country' and ordering him to stay in the palace and serve with him.

At this time, Tao Tianshi recovered from a serious illness, and saw a lot in the matter of fame and fortune, and successively wrote to ask for the return of the mountain, and to return the mangyu, gold treasure, law crown and platinum ten thousand taels given by the emperor over the years, seeing that he could not keep it, Emperor Jiajing agreed to Tao Zhongwen's request.

Tao Zhongwen went, but he wasn't worried, because all his eight disciples stayed, they all had high skills, and they had a good relationship with Jiajing, so it seemed that they didn't have to worry about the dominance of the Heavenly Master Dao at all.

But the shrewd old Taoist priest who has been shrewd all his life obviously does not have a deep understanding of the story of the three monks. The disciples saw that the two Heavenly Masters had enjoyed the honor and favor alone for thirty years, and they had long been red-eyed, and all they thought about for a long time was to become the third Heavenly Master, and they wished that the brothers and sisters would die. It is absolutely impossible to expect them to work together to protect the Heavenly Master Dao.

Therefore, the dragon and tiger mountain Taoist priests, for the name of the heavenly master, fought for the head to break the blood, a piece of chicken feathers, so that Emperor Jiajing was very unhappy, and finally made an astonishing decision, the position of the heavenly master was awarded to Lan Daoxing, in addition to his special permission to help the beggar, and honest, especially to please Jiajing's favor, I am afraid that the snipe and the clam will compete, and the fisherman's profit is inseparable.

The disciples of Longhu Mountain naturally couldn't accept it, and there was a large area of negative sabotage against his orders, which made Emperor Jiajing's cultivation activities fall into chaos all of a sudden, probably because he was a novice, Jiajing took patience and did not get angry, but the emperor's patience was extremely limited, and once it did not improve for a long time, it would definitely be unlucky.

But the so-called auspicious people have their own natural appearance, at this moment, the news of Tao Zhongwen's death reached the capital, and the officials who had long hated the Taoist priests immediately found an opportunity to make trouble - Tao Zhongwen kept saying that his majesty could live forever, but now he died first, it can be seen that the way of immortality does not exist, and those so-called 'art of immortality' are just lies fabricated by Taoist priests in order to grab glory and wealth, so they should be resolutely banned.

What's more, he also demanded that all the Taoist priests in the palace be beheaded, and the rest were all expelled from Beijing, and the palace and the capital were clear.

The Taoist priests panicked and hurried to find the dignitaries and nobles who came and went in Pingyueli, and asked them to make peace on their behalf, but no one was willing to fight against the officials for a group of Taoist priests when the wind direction was unknown; The Taoist priests were scared now, and even regarded Lan Daoxing as a lifesaver, and asked him to ask Zigu what to do.

Lan Dao Xingxin said, I know it's weird...... How can there be any Zigu God in this world? His so-called Fuluan is just a clever trick. If you still have an impression, you can remember the process when he performed for Shen Mo, which is no different from supporting the emperor...... First set up a sand table, build a shelf on the sand table, and hang a pen on the shelf; The emperor wrote down the questions to be asked on a piece of paper, then sealed them, and the eunuch handed them to him, and then he burned them in public, and then immediately made a stroke, his body danced wildly, and the pen was also scribbled on the sand, which was the arrival of the god Zigu.

In fact, if he pulls a big immortal out of the village, he will play this set of ghost painting peach talismans, not to mention the Taoist priests who pretend to be gods and ghosts. Emperor Jiajing has also relied on this to contact the immortals for decades, but why is there only one Lan Daoxing, who can suddenly become noble and ascend to the sky in one step?

Because the words that others helped out were all ghost drawings, and the emperor had to figure it out by himself, but the words that Lan Daoxing helped out could barely be recognized. Although Emperor Jiajing is talented, he has studied those ghost painting symbols for decades, and has not studied a Tao, and now he suddenly has reached the Chinese characters that the Tao is enough to recognize, how can he not be ecstatic? Therefore, Lan Daoxing can get the grace of Jiajing, and is affectionately called 'Blue Fairy'.

But how can there be any gods and ghosts in this world? The so-called Zigu is just a fabricated character, and the reason why the Chinese characters can be written clearly on the sand table is naturally from Lan Daoxing's handwriting.

So the question is, why doesn't everyone do this? Could it be that all Taoist priests are illiterate, and he is the only one who can read? Obviously impossible! In fact, the truth is that others can't figure out what the emperor asks, so of course they don't dare to write an answer casually. And the reason why Lan Daoxing dared to do this was obviously only one possibility, that is, he had seen the emperor's problem!

The key to his trick is that if the emperor wants to ask questions, he can! But it was necessary to use the full set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone provided by him. According to Lan Daoxing, these stationery have been nurtured by him, and they have been channeled and easy to communicate with Zigu God. If he had changed to a different pen and paper, he would not have been able to guarantee the exact surname.

In the matter of cultivating the Tao, Emperor Jiajing was seriously negotiable, you can use it if you let it, so he obediently used the stationery provided by Lan Daoxing to write, and even the envelope was specially provided by him, which provided the prerequisites for the 'Blue Immortal' trick.

To put it bluntly, Lan Daoxing's excellence lies in his superb technique, which can unpack the emperor's envelope at a speed that is difficult for human eyes to discern - the last moment in his hand was Jiajing's book, and in the blink of an eye, it has become an empty envelope that he had hidden in the sleeves of his wide robe. Naturally, the burned envelope was empty, and the one written by the emperor was hidden in his sleeve.

Then he took advantage of this opportunity to open the emperor's envelope and see the contents inside, so he could naturally have a target, and Bao Jun was satisfied.

Just like any trick in the world, to put it bluntly, it is extremely simple, but it is enough to let the performers mix and eat, and the best of them are like the Blue Road Walker, and they even performed in the palace and became a real person who protects the country, which is enough to make all the younger generations look up to the mountains and take it as a goal.

But in any case, this is just a trick, and when it really comes to the point where he can't predict, he can only catch blindness. But in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Lan Daoxing still made a fool of himself, and came to a conclusion: 'Shao'an is not impatient, wait and see what happens', such a negative attitude is really no way, but because everyone has no way, it has become the best way.

And because it is the 'Purple Maiden's Decree', the Taoist priests have made up their minds that the fire should be burned, and the alchemy should be alchemy, and they are no longer so anxious.

Then, a miracle really happened, after a period of silence, Emperor Jiajing sceptered the eight officials led by the staff, and demoted all the rest to the punishment, and promoted Lan Daoxing to the title of crown prince, showing his attitude with practical actions.

Facts have proved that the officials were indeed frightened by him, don't look at the beginning of the momentum, Emperor Jiajing had a slight attack, and they were all silent; Those powerful people on the official website, such as the Yan family's father and son, also began to express their support for the emperor's cultivation and the Taoist priest Niubi. As a result, the crisis caused by Tao Zhongwen's death has passed without danger.

Lan Daoxing, who was full of luck, once again became the biggest winner, his status in the Taoist circle skyrocketed, everyone really regarded him as an immortal, no one dared to confront him anymore, and he finally sat firmly in the golden position of the protector of the heavenly master.

But enjoying the glory of the Heavenly Master is one thing, and at the same time, you have to fulfill the duties of the Heavenly Master, and it is good to be able to communicate with the gods for the emperor, but the emperor chats with the immortals, not because he is bored, but because he wants to know how to live forever, so in the final analysis, it is his job to help the emperor live forever and become an immortal as soon as possible.

At this time, the Blue Immortal was dumbfounded, because he was a typical trick, except for Fuluan, what alchemy, handling, and cultivation were all loose and tight, how could there be any immortal art?

But it doesn't matter, he is now the leader of the Dao Sect in the world, and naturally there are sects that fight against him, and he can completely defend and let those people do it...... Of course, you can't do nonsense, otherwise you will really kill the emperor, and everyone will finish playing together.

After careful selection, he chose the Quanzhen Sect, which was second only to the Heavenly Master Dao and Wudang Mountain...... This is a typical famous and decent family, which is very popular with the majority of nobles, and its reputation is even better than that of Tianshi Dao and Wudang Mountain.

The head of the Quanzhen Sect also attached great importance to this opportunity, hoping to become the number one sect in the world, so he sent a delegation composed of [***] disciples to come to Yanjing to make alchemy for the emperor.

Lan Daoxing warmly received the friends of the Quanzhen Sect, but he was deeply suspicious of their huge lineup, you must know that the Heavenly Master Dao is only eight bulls in the capital, and the Quanzhen Sect has more than ten or twenty people at this time, isn't it taking the opportunity to travel with public funds, right?

When he raised a question, the head of Quan Zhen, who led the team, explained: "We have been called here this time to prepare to cultivate the ancestral 'Dragon and Tiger Pill' for Your Majesty. The "Great Dan Zhizhi", which I taught to Patriarch Qiu Chuji, said that Taoist alchemists use dragons to represent mercury, tigers to represent lead, and lead and mercury are combined to refine in order to transform into Dan. ”

Listening to his set of professional terms jumping out, Lan Daoxing was suddenly overjoyed, although he didn't understand, but he knew that this was enough to deceive people, at least to blind the emperor, so he recommended them to Emperor Jiajing, which was a matter at the beginning of this year.

Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, but the legend that can make people live a long life has not yet been practiced, Emperor Jiajing's patience is exhausted, and he asks Lan Daoxing, can those people do it? Lan Daoxing turned his head and asked Quan Zhen, are you okay?

The head of Quan Zhen swallowed and said: "Refining this pill requires the coexistence of dragons and tigers, the dragon is the 'qi of Zhengyang', and the tiger is the 'water of the true one'. 'The coexistence of dragons and tigers' is also 'water and fire', in order to achieve the highest state of merging the two into one, and to practice Dan into a ...... I didn't practice before, and it was because I didn't find a suitable dragon and tiger, so I ......"

"So you're kidding me?" Lan Daoxing said angrily.

"Heavenly Master, please calm your anger, stop your anger." The head of Quan Zhen hurriedly said: "I have found the Dragon Tiger, as long as you can invite you to help with the alchemy, you will definitely be able to practice." ”

"Say." Blue Road Walkway.

"In my Ming Dynasty, there is only one true dragon, and that is His Majesty the Emperor." Quan Zhen said: "Although there are many tigers, the strongest one is Lu Bing, the capital governor of His Majesty today. ”

"Okay, I'll invite you!" Lan Daoxing is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, gritted his teeth and said: "Not this time, let's finish together!" ”

"Don't worry!" Quan Zhen's head Qiu Jizi said: "The method handed down by our Changchun real people can't be wrong!" ”

So, under the strong invitation of Lan Daoxing, Emperor Jiajing finally agreed to make a cameo appearance as an alchemist, Huang Yanjing agreed, Lu Bing had no choice but to accompany him, and the two sat in the position of Tai Chi Yin and Yang every day, letting the smoke and fire burn, this is already the seventh seven days, and it is also the day of the Dan!

Lan Daoxing stared at the flames in the alchemy furnace with all his attention, his heart was full of anxiety, he knew that if he slipped the emperor so badly this time, if he couldn't get the pill smoothly, he would definitely be more ugly than death.

Just as he was thinking wildly, he heard Qiu Jizi, who was sitting in the cadre position, shouting: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, please Heavenly Thunder!" Then a dazzling blue light flashed, and a violent roar shook everyone to the ground, even Lu Bing, who was a strong martial artist, not to mention His Majesty Jiajing.

The biggest loss was Lan Daoxing, who was standing there, he was directly pushed by the shock wave and hit a copper tripod, and he fainted as soon as it was dark in front of him.
