Outside the palace, in the courtyard.

Because the place in the palace is too small, the emperor specially set up a banquet for Ding Zheng in the courtyard.

He also sent someone to build a huge wooden chair for Ding Zheng.

It's not very solid, but it's still passable.

In addition to the emperor, Ding Zhengyi Sun Bai, and the national teacher, there were only four other emperor's henchmen and ministers.

Although the emperor sat on the throne, it was clear that Ding Zheng was the focus of the banquet.

Before the banquet began, the emperor introduced the people at the table to Ding Zheng one by one.

Ding Zheng had never heard the names of several ministers, and he didn't care.

Just focus on this so-called national teacher.

The emperor quickly introduced him and pointed to the national teacher.

"This is Master Cihang Pudu, who has profound Buddhism, and is also my master in Buddhism, and the current national teacher."

The monk named Cihang Pudu immediately stood up, held a cup of tea in his hand, saluted Ding Zheng, pronounced the Buddha's name, and said: "I can't imagine that the poor monk can really see the legendary ancestor, it is really the blessing of the Buddha, replace the wine with tea, and pay tribute to the ancestor with a cup." ”

But Ding Zheng didn't react at all.

Just now, when the four words Cihang Pudu appeared in the emperor's mouth, it immediately lifted its spirit.

Because of these four words, Ding Zheng has heard it!

"Pudu Cihang?"

Ding Zheng looked at the national teacher with a smile on his face.

"That's right!" The emperor's face was full of joy, and he asked cautiously, "Has the ancestor heard of Master Cihang Pudu?" “

"Of course I did." Ding Zheng nodded.

It's a familiar name.

In the second part of Wang Zuxian's version of A Chinese Ghost Story movie, there is a centipede spirit, who pretends to be a Buddhist monk.

It's just that the Pudu Cihang in the movie is not at all similar to the one in front of Ding Zheng at this time, except that they are both monks and national teachers.

So Ding Zhengcai didn't recognize it.

In the movie, this Pudu Cihang pretended to be a Buddhist monk, making trouble everywhere and framing Zhongliang, as if he was bent on destroying the dynasty.

However, the real purpose of Pudu Cihang is not clearly stated in the movie.

So Ding Zheng at this time is not very clear.

"I didn't expect the ancestor to hear about the poor monk, I really feel honored." Pudu Cihang immediately said to Ding Zheng with a smile on his face.

Ding Zheng also hugged his fists and said politely, he didn't drink wine or eat, and directly said the purpose of his and Sun Bai's coming: "This time, I came here because a senior of the ape clan was arrested, and I saw the symbol of the Mingjiao holy fire from the traces left at the battle scene, so I came here." ”

"I don't know, what the hell is going on?"

Ding Zheng looked at the emperor.

The emperor immediately became nervous, glanced at the centipede national teacher, and then said to Ding Zheng: "The ancestor atonements, I didn't know that the ape I caught was actually related to the ancestor, I will let the national teacher release the ancestor's friends now!" ”

"So it's true?" Ding Zheng looked at the emperor and couldn't help asking, "What do you want to do when you catch monkeys?" ”

Sun Bai next to him also pricked up his ears, he was also arrested back then, this is something it wants to know very much.

The emperor's face immediately hesitated, like a few ministers made a look, and several ministers immediately took their leave very obediently and left.

Then the emperor knelt down directly and said to Ding Zheng: "Hope that the ancestor of the country will forgive the sin, I just want to borrow the hand of the national teacher to refine a few elixirs, not to deliberately harm the ape clan." ”

"The elixir?" Ding Zheng looked helpless.

However, it is also more understandable that every emperor likes to dream of immortality.

In addition to Qin Shi Huang, there have been many emperors throughout the ages who seem to have similar things happening during their reigns.

After all, immortality is man's greatest pursuit.

However, what Ding Zheng couldn't understand was the refining method of this medicine: "Who told you that apes can be used to refine elixirs?" How to refine? Do you use monkey brains? ”

The emperor immediately raised his head, looked at Ding Zheng, and exclaimed: "The ancestor is really clever. ”

Then, when he saw Ding Zheng's black face, he immediately realized that the ancestor in front of him was also a special monkey, and immediately fell down.

"No, who told you that monkey brains can refine medicine? Is there any basis for this? Ding Zheng continued to ask, but his eyes looked at the centipede national teacher next to him.

The centipede national master didn't want to continue to hide, he stood up from his seat and looked at Ding Zhengdao: "The ancestor doesn't know, because the ape clan is the most similar to the human race, so among the elixir of life, there is a very important medicinal material, which requires monkey brains. ”

"Is there any basis for this?" Ding Zheng continued to ask.

"What the poor monk said is the basis."

"Have you ever refined it?" Ding Zheng was aggressive, "If what I heard is okay, you should have been refining it for more than a hundred years, right?" Is it refined? ”

"It's coming."

"How long is it going to be?"

"Heaven must not be leaked." The centipede national master is obviously an old fritter, and his answer is not leaky, and it is impossible for Ding Zheng to be easily asked.

And by the way, he fought back against Ding Zheng: "Rest assured, it is absolutely impossible for us to fight the idea of the ancestor, but the ancestor should not prevent the emperor from becoming immortal, right?" ”

Ding Zheng was choked and was not angry.

It's not the Virgin, and there are more suffering monkeys in the world, and if it doesn't do it any good, there's no need to pay too much attention to it.

"Of course I won't stop it, just return the senior I said to me, our emperor shouldn't even refuse this little thing, right?" Ding Zheng turned the finger on the emperor, who was easier to deal with.

The emperor's body was shocked, where did he dare to refuse?

Immediately said: "No, of course not!" I'll take the ancestor to find it now, and release that senior immediately! ”

The emperor just wanted to live forever and enjoy endless glory and wealth, and he didn't want to become a strong man.

And Ding Zheng is an existence that can easily kill him, and it is an existence that their ancestors have respected for generations, no matter what, he doesn't dare to offend.

"Then lead the way, after completing this matter, I still have something I want the emperor to help you, and I can bring the real elixir to thank the emperor!" Ding Zheng also smiled and said directly, it didn't want to waste more time.

No matter what exactly this centipede national master wants to do, it has nothing to do with it.

It doesn't have much time left in this mission world.

Even if you want to, you can't manage it.

You only need to rescue the old white ape, use the power of the Ming Dynasty to find the Jiaolong clan, and then complete the task and finally return.

The emperor immediately got up from the ground, straightened his appearance, and said, "National teacher, please lead the way." ”

But Centipede National Master Cihang Pudu had no intention of moving at all.

He stood in place, glanced at Ding Zheng deeply, and then knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor three times, and said, "Your Majesty, it's not okay tonight, tonight's alchemy has reached a critical juncture, once the alchemy room is opened, there will inevitably be an accident, resulting in damage to the elixir." ”

"So!" It said, looked at Ding Zheng, and said, "I beg the Ancestor, you can give a little grace for one night, and don't let the elixir of life that the emperor has been waiting for for more than a hundred years be damaged!" ”

The emperor was still anxious.

But as soon as he heard Cihang Pudu's words, he immediately hesitated, and after hesitating for a moment, he looked at Ding Zheng and said in a tone full of pleading: "Ancestor, in that case, can we wait for tomorrow?" We'll be there early tomorrow morning. ”

"Presumably, the national teacher will be able to guarantee the life of that senior." The Emperor turned to Cihang Pudu and asked, "National Teacher, tell me, can you guarantee the life of that senior?" ”

Cihang Pudu immediately nodded: "The monks don't speak, please rest assured that the emperor and the ancestors can definitely save the lives of all the apes who came over this time!" ”

"And the apes who came over this time are actually still participating in the refining of medicine, so the ancestors don't have to worry about it at all."

"Early tomorrow morning, I will take the ancestor and this monkey demon friend to find the senior that the ancestor said."

Cihang Pudu looked very serious.

If it weren't for Ding Zheng knowing that the other party was not a real monk, but a centipede with bad intentions, I am afraid he would have really believed it.

After all, it's only one night.

But since Ding Zheng knew the details of this Cihang Pudu, of course, it was impossible to believe it easily.

One night passes, and God knows what will happen?

When the old white ape dies, can the emperor still kill this Cihang Pudu?

Although Ding Zheng didn't know what Cihang Pudu's true purpose was.

But it can be sure that the other party will definitely not really want to help the emperor refine medicine.

If you refuse at this time, it must not be that the elixir is really at a critical juncture.

Moreover, Ding Zheng didn't dare to bet, he didn't dare to be sure that if the other party said that the old white ape would be safe, the old white ape would be safe.

Ding Zheng glanced at the emperor who was sandwiched between himself and Cihang Pudu, his face full of nervousness.

Although it couldn't understand why Cihang Pudu was so strong, he didn't directly kill the emperor and replace him and do what he wanted.

After all, in the entire Shuntian Mansion, I'm afraid no one is the opponent of Cihang Pudu.

But Ding Zheng was also completely unable to put his expectations on this emperor, who seemed to be of almost no use.

Tomorrow the old white ape is dead.

Even if the emperor wants to cure Cihang Pudu's sins, can he really cure it?

The old centipede in the movie turned all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty into monsters.

And right now, with the other party's fame, the infiltration of the Ming Dynasty is not much worse.

At this time, the emperor is probably just a puppet!

"Yes!"

Ding Zheng agreed in Sun Bai's surprised gaze, and then added: "However, I'm worried that the emperor won't come tomorrow, so it's better to take me to see where my predecessor is now, and I'll come and pick it up in person early tomorrow morning." ”

"Your Majesty, you won't even disagree with this little thing, will you?"

The emperor immediately shook his head and said, "Of course you can, national teacher, no problem, right?" Why don't you lead the way? ”

Cihang Pudu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed: "Of course there is no problem, please ask the emperor and the ancestor to follow the poor monk over." ”

Cihang Pudu said, looking at Ding Zheng, colliding with Ding Zheng's gaze.

It was as if sparks were exploding with each other.

After a few moments, Cihang Pudu turned to leave.

Ding Zheng smiled and followed.

The idea is simple.

Since you don't take me with you, then I'll go by myself at night, who can stop me?

The reason why Ding Zheng didn't turn his face on the spot was just thinking that he would use the emperor's prestige to find the Jiaolong clan.

Give the other party a little face, and secretly cross Chen Cang at night.

But if this emperor must not know what to do, he has to make a hindrance.

Ding Zheng didn't mind directly stomping the other party to death.

And Cihang Pudu obviously saw Ding Zheng's thoughts.

The meaning of that glance just now is clearly what he is saying.

You can come and try it.

Full of provocation.

This Cihang Pudu, in the movie, is a giant centipede that looks almost 100 meters long.

And now, Ding Zheng doesn't know how strong the other party is.

But no matter what, Ding Zheng can't give up saving the old white ape because the other party is strong.

Can you save the old white ape?

I'll see you tonight!
