Chic, the moon is light and dusk.

The flower hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion is adjacent to the water pavilion, and it is accompanied by a corner of green bamboo, which is the spirit of a branch of water.

The shadow of the fragrant curtain in the bamboo is bright, and through the gap in the curtain, I see the familiar figure.

Yun Gongzi, who originally seemed to be full of vitality every day, was much quieter today, and because of the injuries on his body, he had a slight unformed salute with the imperial doctor, and he was quite serious about me, just smiled and nodded.

I watched his every move, but I didn't dare to stretch out my arms quickly, nor did I dare to sit down, I just stood in a daze, like a big goose.

In gatherings of more than three people, and most of them were unknown people, I was accustomed to being silent, and if necessary, I would also chat and greet people. The most noisy one also closed his mouth today, but only the eldest prince and the imperial doctor were chatting about the surprising cases encountered in Dali Temple.

I silently poured myself a drink, and when the wine was half-drunk, I saw a full moon hanging high above my head, dissolving color, and a faint wind. This can be seen every fifteenth, and even the mood of the month is not the same.

Two teams of waiters lined up neatly, and Shuang Lili added a set of tables.

I didn't think that the prime minister came back from the palace in advance, and the usual banquet and drink in the palace often ended when the child was born. The maidservants waited for him to take away his cloak and clean his hands, and then he went into the main table.

As soon as he spoke, I found out that it was a "happy event", because of the vitality of his breath.

"The palace has a good banquet tonight, and it has not been long since it was seated, and the song and dance have only been carried out to the beginning, and the queen suddenly has a cramping pain in her abdomen, and her face is pale for a moment, and she screams loudly, and she even has the tendency to roll on the table. The sage immediately sent the slaves and maids back to bed, and all the medical officers on duty in the Xuantai Medical Department went to the Zhaoqing Hall to standby. The saint reluctantly insisted on drinking with our ministers, and then he couldn't bear to worry and left the table. Cough! The emperor and queen have all retired, and I have waited for the reason to continue the feast, so I have left the palace and returned home. ”

The three people at the table couldn't bear to be handsome, but I felt that I was too sharp at the moment. My scheming has been so naked that I have played a role in front of others, and if another day I shoot a bird in the head, I really don't know where my allies will put me at this time.

The eldest prince raised his glass to me: "Fan Nushi holds the axis in this matter, takes advantage of the high and risky, and Li Chengqi does it first to respect." ”

I also raised my glass with both hands and saluted: "The eldest prince is serious, and the minister is also sharing the worries of the saint, but it is just a small trick, how can it be as resourceful as the adults." ”

Zuo Xiang smiled solemnly: "You little guy don't want to be official in front of Abel, tell me what recipe is hidden in your Xiaoshui Pill." ”

I couldn't help but stare at it, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hide it, so I only whispered: "In that pill, I hid the cotton thread." ”

The imperial doctor's eyes widened and he sighed: "This consumption of a sufficient amount of cotton thread is indeed very likely to cause intestinal obstruction, and there is no cure." However, it is not a perfect solution, and there will still be a small number of people who excrete this thing. How do you do it foolproof? ”

I avoided their gazes, lowered my eyebrows, and didn't dare to throw away all my methods, but said, "In the last dose of the pill, the cotton thread is tied with extremely fine iron hooks, so ...... Moreover, the queen has always had a spleen and stomach disorder, and the stomach and intestines are swollen when wet and heavy, so it is easier. ”

The imperial doctor couldn't help but stroking his palms and laughing, Zuo Xiang was even more happy, his eyes were blazing, and the eldest prince smiled as if he had suddenly realized, the reaction of the three of them was quite normal except for making me shy, and in the end there were allies celebrating the joy of victory.

And Li Chengyun was the only one, and I faintly felt a little chill in his gaze.

What's wrong with this guy? And during the banquet, Xiangye never said a word to him.

Summoning the singer and the luthier, and playing a song against the full moon to help Yaxing.

Xiangye and I and the imperial doctor were saying, "The sage's intention is to ask the two of you to stay in my house for two days, and someone will come out of the palace later. ”

The two of us said yes, or so, in the end, we can have two more days to settle freely. After the banquet, the imperial doctor was following Li Chengyun to his room to check on his injuries, and I was led by the maidservant to the backyard where the maid lived, in a lonely embroidery building.

I kept my hands through my clothes, and I was playing with the scar removal aloe vera cream made for Li Chengyun in my sleeves, but he looked cold, and if I wanted to give him my thoughts, I could only give up.

Otherwise, why bother......

The location of the embroidery building is also excellent, maybe it is just a new joy, looking at the moon with the window half-open, and after a while, rubbing the brocade quilt and falling asleep.

I slept peacefully without a book all night, and the next morning I heard the sound of soft footsteps downstairs, and I got up.

The maidservants who fetched water and freshened up for me were dressed in fine clothes, as if they had been improvised from the main room.

I was going to go out of the house, so I said in a kind voice: "This sister, people always want to be safer when they are outside." Why don't you help me find men's clothes? ”

She smiled at me for a moment and then agreed. The sister quickly went back and retrieved a white round-necked brocade robe, embroidered with bamboo blades with gold thread. After wearing it, the men's single bun with a shiny shine, no need to wear a crown before twenty, just a refreshing hairpin.

Kicking into the black boots again, only teaching me to admire myself in the bronze mirror, if it weren't for the difference in height of two inches, I would also be a young man in Yushu Linfeng like a fake.

I'm afraid that someone will stop me, where can I dare to speak out, and I can't let people know what I'm going to do. I watched the railing for a while, and saw the time when the two little brothers guarding the corner gate were lazy, and I got out in a flash.

Now, the road is swinging under my feet, and I stride to express my heart.

Eat a folk breakfast, such as a little fresh. I went straight to yesterday's room - Agou Lantern Candle Workshop.

The old shopkeeper who will open the door is still cleaning up the remnants of yesterday's lantern festival, removing all the uncleared things, and directing the young men in the store to be busy.

As soon as I got older, my hands trembled, so I hurried over and picked up the bamboo pole and picked up a piece of paper that had been accidentally hung on the shop sign.

The old shopkeeper looked at me: "Why are you?" Hurry up and go, there is no master here. ”

I hurriedly smiled all over my face: "This Weng Weng, you don't remember the villain, yesterday I was inconsiderate, and today I came to make amends to you." ”

"Huh~", I raised the gift in my hand, and said with a smile: "This is the best purple bamboo shoot tea in the tea shop, doesn't the old man really invite me in for a drink?" ”

Under my honey talk offensive, the old man couldn't bear it, so he had to lead me into the shop, and cook the tea I brought at the tea table in front of the window.

I like to watch people cook tea, and I like those who are meticulous in their techniques, and they will make tea cooking an excellent enjoyment.

The concentration I watched also aroused the old man's desire to perform: "Why girl, there are no elders in the family to teach you the tea ceremony?" ”

I sighed: "Cough, today I have to see the old man do it himself, and I feel warm." ”

I followed this remark: "After returning home yesterday, Xiao Ke suddenly remembered that there was also a teacher, who was ridiculed by a friend by chance, so Xiao Ke was very angry on the spot and had to reason with him. From this recollection, thinking of yesterday's events, I only feel ashamed. Although I have no intention, but in the end I have lost respect for the ancestor of the old Weng Weng, I don't know if this Lord Candle Fairy will blame me. ”

The old shopkeeper laughed: "The girl is ashamed, but she is also a reasonable person, how can there be a reason not to give people a chance to correct it." The girl is relieved, since Master Zu has ascended to immortality, he will not mind such a trivial matter. ”

I was pleasantly surprised: "Really! That's good. This ancestor is also powerful, a model among people! Although he is just a commoner who makes wax and boiled oil, his cultivation is far more meritorious than that of the princes and generals. ”

The old shopkeeper was already dancing with his eyebrows, and he stroked his hair and said with a smile: "Naturally, in order to rank in the immortal class, Master Zu first did 30,000 good deeds in terms of merit. Even if it is a good deed a day, it will take ten years to accumulate......"

Then, with my encouragement, the old shopkeeper's chatterbox opened to me little by little.

It turned out that the candle fairy in the old shopkeeper's mouth, originally named Xun Ju, was born a hundred years ago.

The family has been making lamp oil for a living for generations, and when Xun Ju's generation arrived, he had a whim one day and boiled several materials and poured them into the mold, and actually made the earliest candles.

The candle was brighter than an oil lamp, and it was easy to use, and soon became a staple in the royal court. Because of this, the Xun family also has a lot of money and profits.

At that time, the people of the world were cultivating the Tao and immortals, and the ancestor was also affected by the wind of the times and wanted to have the idea of becoming an immortal.

Who knew that when I fell asleep overnight, I dreamed of a crane with a childish face and a fairy who taught a method, although it is called "smuggling", it is really a fast and convenient method.

At that time, the shark people in the South China Sea were a disaster party. The so-called mermaid is a monster that is half human and half fish, and a celebrity mermaid.

And this dream is to use the merman's boiled oil as wax, and then combine other materials, after making it, the surface of the candle will be dissolved into a rare silver.

Then gather the fire of the yang, and when the sun rises in the middle of the night, light 7749 silver candles with this fire, surround this body, and the person who practices it pinchs the trick in the middle and recites the mantra, and smuggles into the magic circle of immortals.

If you want to become an immortal, you must go through calamities.

Those who are insincere on the spot, or those who have not done enough 30,000 good deeds, and so on, if they fail to smuggle in, they will definitely be counterattacked. In addition to being killed on the spot, his soul will go straight to the Three Evil Realms, and he will not be reincarnated ten times.

If this is the case, you can choose a close spirit animal, or cats, dogs, snakes, insects, or chickens, ducks and foxes. Take its blood and sprinkle it evenly around the circle, this is the Dharma protector.

If you succeed in crossing the immortals, this spirit animal will divide you into three percent of the merits of blessing and wisdom. If you fail to cross the immortals, in addition to the life span of the immortal crossing by twenty years, the spirit beast will go down to the three evil realms for you. And the immortal crosser wants to repay the favor of this spirit beast in three lifetimes.

As for how these three lives repay their kindness, the way is different. There are husbands and wives who raise a mentally disabled child, there are lovers who have been let down by their lives, and there is even a fisherman who favors a big fish.

And after everything was ready, Master Zu practiced the method of crossing immortals in the courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

At the time of the half-year, the forty-nine candles around the ancestor changed from the original red and yellow to red, blue and purple. At this time, there was a crowd of people slamming the door outside the gate.

At the last moment, the ancestor master's Taoist heart was pure, and he saw that all the silver candles suddenly became more green after the color flickered, and at the same time, the tens of millions of drops of spirit beast blood rain on the ground went up to the sky and went straight into the sky.

In an instant, the silver candle began to burn violently, and the green light almost reflected the clouds of that night.

The people who broke into the door saw Xun Ju in the green air, and they didn't dare to step forward for a while.

After the silver candle burned out and the green light was temporarily closed, after the practice was completed, the ancestor slowly opened his eyes.

The man who was the leader was Xun Yi's uncle, and he wanted to dominate the Xun family's property, so he falsely accused Xun Ju of boiling wax with human oil and practicing demon law.

He instigated the villagers with farm tools in their hands and sent Xun Yi to the county government overnight.

When the county magistrate asked where the oil came from, his uncle actually pointed out that Xun Ju used the body of his old mother who had not been dead for a long time to boil oil, "Such unfilial piety can only send him to disobedience as an uncle."

Behind the scenes, all kinds of operations, plus the coffin for autopsy. He also bought off the black-hearted county order, and soon sentenced these "great evil people" to death.

And that punishment was what Xie Senjun said yesterday "ape wearing a crown", gouging out his eyes alive, bleeding like an infusion, and drenching his face all over his body.

Gouging out the eyes to punish the crime of blasphemy against the mother's body, and then the punishment of beheading is the punishment of the "ten heinous felonies".

However, when Xun Ju was thrown into the prison, when the jailer inspected the next day, he found that the lock of the door in the prison had not been moved, the floor and wall were intact, and the person had disappeared, only the bloody prison clothes he had worn before.

At this point, it is known that the ancestor Xun Ju's immortal crossing ceremony was completed, which also explains why he silently endured the false accusation and the tragic torture without arguing.

How can a person who wants to become an immortal not know that this is the last calamity he should have experienced!

The old shopkeeper tasted the tea that had been brewed for thirty years, and still sighed: "Cough, I have been old for ten years, and I only told you the secret news of this master and told you an outsider!" I can't help it, but I suddenly feel like I'm in love with you! ”

I hurriedly picked up the teapot and filled it with the old shopkeeper: "Weng Weng, after listening to your story, I think there is no one more powerful than the ancestor and grandfather." Then you said, is there anyone outside who is stealing the secret method of smuggling used by the ancestor and grandfather? ”

The old shopkeeper sneered, "Hmph, these stupid people. Actually, there is nothing uncommon about this method, what is precious is the character of the person who practiced it. Besides, the one who knows the true chapter of this smuggling tantric method is just the apprentice who was the most optimistic about the ancestor back then, haha, that is, this vein passed on to my master! ”

He chewed a melon seed and smacked his tongue: "If you say that the other disciples of the ancestor master are miscellaneous in the side branches, there are those who are unscrupulous and have no conduct, and even openly sell this smuggling secret method at a price!" There are a lot of foolish believers, and if they are not used properly, they will not be true, but it has really become a demon magic, and it is the best ending to break the money, and it is the best ending if it has no effect. ”

It seemed to me that I and Sweet Cat were the "victims" of this unhealthy trend......

I continued to ask, "Then since Weng Weng knows the true chapter of the Tantric Law, he might as well tell a few good people who want to cultivate immortals, which can be regarded as a good thing!" ”

The old shopkeeper sighed: "In the past hundred years, this tantric method has gone through the mouths of five patriarchs and grandfathers, and whether there is a mistake in not speaking first, I will say that this part of my ear also has a lot of omissions. ”

I couldn't help but nod: "yes! Just now you said that you should pinch and recite a mantra when you are in the Dharma Circle, but you don't seem to know what this mantra is! ”

The old shopkeeper patted his thigh: "That's right! Just this most important thing has been lost to me, so this so-called secret method of crossing immortals is probably long gone! If I were like them and sell these fragments, wouldn't it be a great harm! ”

The old shopkeeper shook his head and waved his hand: "We don't do such a thing." ”

I suddenly had a sense of awe for the old shopkeeper, and there were only a handful of people who had something to be greedy for and were unmoved.

When I liked someone, I easily found his cuteness: "So Weng Weng, we have chosen a word similar to the name of the ancestor for this shop sign." ”

The old shopkeeper also smiled comfortably: "The girl is really considerate, the old man has never read a book, and he doesn't recognize a few words, in order to think of this signboard, he just took the scroll and looked at it blindly for a few days, and finally saw a bright eye, and can avoid the words of the grandfather's name!" It's just that the signboard is hung up, and I don't know its pronunciation until later......"

Hahaha, the laughter of the two of us at this time simply disturbed the customers in the store.

The old shopkeeper laughed and said, don't change it, it's good to get used to it.

I cleared my throat with a hoarse smile, and suddenly remembered that the name of this method of smuggling into immortals was still unknown, so I asked again.

The old shopkeeper still lowered his voice, and said a simple word - light the silver candle.
