Chapter 31: The Grandmaster's Methods
Seeing Zhang Qingze's stunned appearance, everyone couldn't help laughing, Zhang Qingze's old face turned red and said: "Master Wusu, the monks don't speak, but you can tell me, how can I, an old man, solve the emperor's problem." ”
"Zhang Zhenren, don't be in a hurry, listen to the poor monk slowly." Wu Su saluted and said: "The reason why the emperor is vying for the election of a woman to enter the palace is because the emperor has been on the throne for many years but has no heirs. And the saint has gradually embraced Taoism over the years, which is a good thing, aside from Buddhism itself, we are all monks, and we are all cultivating good paths. Therefore, the holy self-cultivation is good for the country and the people. But the reason why the saint believes in Taoism today is not only in the meaning of Taoism itself, what he needs is pills, and it is limited to Danding Sect and metaphysics. ”
"The theory of immortality has been particularly interesting to emperors since ancient times, and after thousands of years, the emperor finally understood that even if he was an emperor, he was only a mortal, and it was impossible to live forever. Today's saint is a smart person, naturally he will not believe this, he only hopes to be able to strengthen his body and give birth to a prince, Shao Yuanjie, a Taoist in the court, I think Zhang Zhenren should be no stranger. Gosu said.
Zhang Qingze nodded suspiciously and replied: "It's really not strange, when the two of us were young, there was still a period of time when we were quite good, but we haven't seen each other much over the years." He has some ability, Jiajing two years I don't know how Lu Dao and the eunuchs in the court got on the line, after the eunuch Cui Wen was promoted, into the palace to face the saint, actually let the saint believe in my Daomen, and since then it has been out of control. Now he is a wealthy and noble person, and nominally he is the chief Taoist leader. Zhang Qingze specially accentuated the word "nominal", and everyone laughed. understands the meaning of Zhang Qingze's words, all the people in the world are respected, which is what Wudang cares about.
"That's it, the poor monk implored Zhang Zhenren to send a message to Shao Yuanjie, claiming that there was a panacea to offer to the emperor, which could ensure that the emperor gave birth to a dragon son smoothly. In this way, the Holy One has a score in his heart. would not be so eager to recruit draft girls and let a large number of women enter the palace. Gosu said.
Zhang Qingze said with a sad face: "It's not impossible to do this, it's just that the red mouth and white teeth said it." If we can't do it, it's not that we're sitting here joking now, but that we're going to be killed for the crime of bullying the king. I'm afraid that if I agreed, Shao Yuanjie wouldn't agree either. ”
Wu Su said: "Shao Yuanjie has not provided less pills to the saint now, and now the saint still has no dragon son. Even if he doesn't say it, he is afraid that it won't be long before he becomes popular. If the most embarrassed saint is annoyed, it is inevitable that he will kill his head. So according to my meaning, there is still a trace of vitality for you to let him say this, and someone can help him refine the pill together, and the old man dare not say if he succeeds, but he finally gambles. ”
"Who?" Zhang Qingze asked: "It won't be me again, although I am a Taoist, I don't know anything about alchemy." ”
"Definitely. This man is the descendant of the Doctor of the Gods. Wu Su said and looked at Lu Bing, and Lu Bing was shocked when he heard it. immediately pretended to be confused, but seeing that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't pretend anymore, so he pointed to himself and said, "Me? Master, you're kidding, I've only learned the fur of a few old men, and it's not enough to be elegant, even an ordinary barefoot doctor. Ah, Master Gosu should ask for another master, I really can't help. ”
"It's not that you can't help, but whether you're willing to help, how can someone who can even recognize such a rare red medicine at a glance be an idle person." Wu Xu said that Lu Bing recognized the red medicine, and Lu Bing was speechless for a moment.
Everyone looked at Lu Bing again, and claimed that this was a major matter for the country and the people, so that Lu Bing let go of his views on learning and help Shao Yuanjie practice the elixir to end the hardships of the people. Lu Bing couldn't cry or laugh, this really made people tired and not worth their lives, these people can't wait to let Lu Bing go to alchemy now, and die with all their might.
Lu Bing could only reluctantly agree, but seeing that Lu Bing agreed, Wu Xu said: "This alchemy should be more mysterious, so that the saint can have a sense of reverence, and ask him to work hard. This is our real purpose, to make the emperor a wise monarch for the benefit of the people. Of course, it can delay time even more, so that Lu Shaoxia and Shao Yuanjie have more time to study, you say yes? Of course, if Lu Shaoxia joins the alchemy, the location of the alchemy may be in the capital. There are many ears and eyes in the capital, and the emperor will inevitably hear the sound of wind and grass, and he will have doubts about Shao Yuanjie's identity and beliefs, thinking that the elixir is not immortal, and Lu Bing can also refine medicine if he is a person outside of cultivation, which is not conducive to cultivation in the future. Therefore, it is very likely that the Holy Lord will replace Lu Shaoxia, who is more trusting, but this is naturally inappropriate, because Lu Shaoxia's identity is too complicated and not suitable for sitting and waiting for the priest to preach. ”
"What does the master mean?" Lu Bing asked.
"Go to Shaoxia's territory, Dengzhou Mansion in Shandong, go there to alchemy, and claim that Penglai is an immortal mountain, and you can only get the Tao in the immortal mountain." Wu Su said: "In this way, Lu Shaoxia has the opportunity to go on the road together, and it can be said that he has avoided the emperor's suspicion.
Lu Bing's heart moved, nearly half a year has passed, to be honest, I do miss my beautiful wife Meng Xueqing and second brother Xia Dade who stayed in Dengzhou, and my sons should also grow up, and it is a good thing to take this opportunity to go back and see.
In addition, it is not very convenient to stay in the capital about Chao Injury, there are many eyes and ears in the capital, and sooner or later it will be exposed, even if the layout leads the snake out of the hole, it is difficult to carry out, after all, the power of the capital is staggered, and it is difficult for Lu Bing to be handy. Just take him back to Shandong to heal slowly, and then ask about the previous things after he is well, even if it doesn't work, if he implements the second plan to lure the enemy, wouldn't it be much more comfortable in Shandong than in the capital, Lu Bing is like the emperor of the soil near Dengzhou Mansion.
Of course, there is also the fact that he suffered a lot of internal injuries this time, and he needs to be taken care of by a master of internal strength for recuperation, this person needs to be on par with his internal strength, and he is safe for his own talents, Duan Qingfeng is the best choice. But Shandong is busy, and Duan Qingfeng needs to be asked, so after the martial arts conference, Duan Qingfeng has to return to Dengzhou as soon as possible. If you agree to Gosu this time, you will return to Dengzhou. It not only solves the problem but also gives a favor, but it is also the best of both worlds, and it is just a matter of applying what you have learned and it doesn't take much effort.
It's just that the problem also comes. Now that Lu Bing is on duty in the palace, I'm afraid that it won't be so easy to walk away. If you give up your position in the palace, it's not that you can't be reluctant, but if you can't ask a clue here, you will resign again, and it will be difficult to come back, and then you will want to find out the truth. It's even harder.
However, if Shao Yuanjie proposed to go to Shandong by himself, it would be equivalent to bringing himself together, and Shao Yuanjie and himself had no reason to befriend. Such a proposal to let himself accompany him will definitely attract the suspicious Emperor Jiajing. This is equivalent to returning to the confused place of Wusu just now, although Shandong is Lu Bing's old nest, the emperor may not send him. The greatest thing in the world is the king's land. In the eyes of the emperor, there is no earth emperor, and whoever is sent is the same, so such a plan is very unstable.
So Lu Bing told his doubts, people in the rivers and lakes are the most upright, and if he resigns, he will resign, and if he hesitates, he will be called greedy, but Lu Bing can't, in order not to let others think that he is a person who is greedy for power. caused a series of troubles such as notoriety and contradictions in the rivers and lakes, and Lu Bing explained the reasons why he could not resign. just hid the article of revenge for Zhu Houzhao, and only announced that he would investigate the truth about the death of Wan'er.
Everyone fell into deep thought, and finally had to put this problem aside for the time being and slowly think about a solution. But the place for Shao Yuanjie's alchemy was chosen, after all, there was Lu Bing in Dengzhou Mansion to do it, and it should be kept secret, and it would be better to do a better job. If Lu Bing can't go with him, it is preliminarily determined that the capital will now study a prescription, and then Shao Yuanjie will go to Shandong to refine.
Lu Bing brought the injury back to the mansion yesterday, and after letting Wei He bring the torture tools, he confessed and arranged secret agents around the mansion, of course, not the secret agents of the imperial court but Lu Bing's private army. Lu Bing wanted to use a series of tricks, before he and Duan Qingfeng brought Chao Injury into the city, there were many people on the street, someone would definitely see it, and through various channels, he could also know that the person was injured. In this way, if Chao Huang really knows what he said, it will definitely attract the attention of the mastermind behind the scenes, and when he is a thief, he will send someone to kill Chao Huang and kill people in the wrong way.
Even if he can't ask anything when the time comes, it is feasible to use him as a bait to lure out the big fish back then. However, it is not easy to be arrested in the capital, and Lu Bing's power is not large, so he cannot mobilize such a large number of soldiers and horses to make a net. And although my father is now newly promoted to the assistant director of the governor's affairs, he can't do it blatantly in the powerful capital, and it was precisely because of such doubts that he wanted to return to Dengzhou Mansion. Moreover, in the capital, the flow of news is very fast, so that before it is captured, the other side has already heard the wind and ran away through the mouth of others.
At that time, he thought that no matter how high the opponent's martial arts were, he could defeat the assassin even if he fought hard, but Lu Bing had limited energy after all, and it was impossible to stare at it day and night if he was not injured in time. But if it is placed in its own territory, Shandong Dengzhou Mansion, it will be more convenient, and you can take turns fighting in time, and you don't have to go out by yourself at all. The Praetorian Guards in his own mansion and the surrounding regimental training, as well as Cai Longyu's ringing horses, would make the assassins sent by the mastermind behind the scenes unavoidable. Lay a net to capture all the opponents alive, and it is even more difficult to capture alive, and only in Dengzhou Mansion can this opportunity and right. Please enter the urn only in Dengzhou.
Lu Bing was worried in his chest, but he was helpless, and when he was about to be entangled, he heard a young man's laughter: "Grandpa, why doesn't this abbot look like a monk?" ”
"And what do you think it looks like?" An old voice came, but the young man replied: "It's like an old and cunning profiteer, no, it's an official, it's yin and spicy." Hehe, it's different from the way up the mountain, no wonder Grandpa asked me to talk to him less. ”
When he mentioned going up the mountain, Lu Bing remembered that the two ancestors and grandsons he met when he was going up the mountain vaguely remembered the strange name of the old man who seemed to be called a person living under the mountain. Lu Bing thought that he didn't hear it because his skills were damaged, but he suddenly thought that there were so many masters present, and no one even found that the ancestors and grandchildren were eavesdropping, and then looked at the others, they were all panicked, looking for the source of the sound.
No, when these two people went up the mountain, they didn't seem to have a trace of martial arts, how could they be such masters?
Lu Bing's heart was Ling, and he also vaguely remembered the source of the voice just now, looking for the two people. Duan Qingfeng and Wusu said at the same time: "Outside the door." ”
When everyone opened the door, they saw that there were two people in the courtyard meditating cross-legged, and the robes on their bodies were not broken, and there was no trace of blood, but their faces looked as if they had just experienced a life-and-death battle. An old man and a young man stood in the courtyard and laughed, and the young man waved his hand at Wusu and said, "Uncle Chen, there will be a time later." After saying that, the grandfather and grandson walked away, and they saw that their bodies were the same as when they came, without any skills.
Wu Su just took a step and wanted to keep the two, but he heard Wu Chan say: "Senior brother, don't chase after you, this person is unfathomable." ”
"Senior brother, what the hell is going on?" Gosu asked.
"One move, he just used one move casually to defeat me. The same is true of enlightenment, he only used one move. Wu Chan opened his eyes and said with a chant of the Buddha.
Everyone was shocked, and they didn't know that the real master was hidden in the vast sea of people, even if the kung fu was as strong as Ji Lianhong, as fierce as Lu Bing, and as profound as Wusu, they couldn't do it in one move to win Wuzen or Wusu in the Shaolin Four King Kongs. This kind of kung fu is the grandmaster. (To be continued......)
