Chapter 690: Birthday Banquet
Zhang Zhaocheng is dead? The presiding officer of Eifukuji Temple, Hui Qing, had a smile of surprise on his face. This old immortal thing is finally dead! Xuan Miaoguan has no teacher and no dust, see what they still do to fight with themselves!
In Yuan's mansion, Yuan Tiancheng, who was slightly happy on his face, pinched his empty sleeves, took out the turtle shell and looked at the hexagram after divination a few times, and muttered, "Impossible, impossible......"
In the palace, Emperor Jianlong, who was watching the twists and turns, didn't believe it, "Why did you die?" β
It's not normal for an elderly man in his nineties to die. Gao Cangjie bowed his head, "Shi Wujie never mentioned the cause of Heavenly Master's death, and now he has left the capital with Shi Wuchen and rushed to Longhu Mountain." β
Emperor Jianlong waved him back and leaned back on the dragon chair in a daze. The person who had been looking for nearly twenty years died suddenly, and Emperor Jianlong was disappointed; I thought that those who could achieve immortality did not ascend but entered reincarnation, and Emperor Jianlong was even more disappointed.
Even Zhang Zhaocheng is dead, can he still live forever?
"Hooray, will it be ...... Zhang Zhaocheng is not dead, and the teacher is just playing tricks? Dexi guessed that this news was really unreasonable, and if he hadn't seen Zhang Zhaocheng's body with his own eyes, he would never believe it.
However, even if Shi Wuyi casually got a corpse and said that it was Zhang Zhaocheng's, they couldn't help it...... Dexi felt powerless.
Emperor Jianlong opened his eyes suddenly, "Summoning Yuan Tiancheng." β
"Shi Wuyi and Shi Wuchen have left the capital, and the saint summoned Yuan Tiancheng to calculate Zhang Zhaocheng's life and death, confirming the news that the Heavenly Master is not alive." Xuan San said in a low voice.
The third master frowned slightly, how could it be so coincidental, he just got the news of Zhang Zhaocheng from Xiao Nuan, and he died?
"Jiang Gong, what do you see?"
Jiang Gongjin stroked his beard and calmly analyzed, "The 'Heavenly Master' is very important to the Taoist sect, if the news is not really confirmed, Shi Wuyi will not let this matter be publicized." So regardless of whether Zhang Zhaocheng is dead or not, from the moment Shi Wuyi said that Zhang was 'gone' as usual, he would never come back. β
Because there was no little turtle to raise, the black-faced little man who returned to the third master to do things muttered, "More than ten years ago, Huiqing of Yongfu Temple said that Zhang Zhaocheng was dead. β
Xuan San also said, "This may be true, if he is still alive, how can there be no news from the saint who has been looking for him for so many years?" "Not only is there no news from Emperor Jianlong's side, but even they can't find out about Zhang Zhaocheng. How can a living person have no news at all?
Jiang Gongjin continued, "Third Master, what matters now is the impact of the Heavenly Master's death on the entire situation. β
The third master nodded, no longer dwelling on the life and death of the Heavenly Master.
"Longhu Mountain should be fine, although Shi Wuyi is unruly, but his nine disciples are very obedient and filial. Over the years, Longhu Mountain has always been the main thing of the teacher, and now it is even more justifiable...... "Jiang Gongjin finished analyzing the situation in Longhu Mountain, and then analyzed the capital, "Xuanmiaoguan has no teacher and no dust, and it will definitely be short Yongfu Temple, and there will be another battle between Buddhism and Taoism; The saints who believed that the Heavenly Master could live forever would also be disappointed in the Heavenly Master's lineage. The third master thinks that Sun Ji Jingqing, the heavenly master apprentice who is still alchemy for the saint on Qinming Mountain, what will the saint do? β
The third master's eyes flashed, maybe Ji Jingqing on Qinming Mountain was the key. Ji Jingqing's alchemy was learned from Zhang Zhaocheng, and now that Zhang Zhaocheng himself is dead, the saint will no longer believe that Ji Jingqing's elixir can help him live forever.
So......
"The Holy One has relied on the elixir for a long time, and it should not be broken. Presumably, the saint will look for an alchemy expert again to replace Ji Jingqing. The third master judged.
It is said that Yuan Tiancheng, who was better than Zhang Zhaocheng in the trial of alchemy, was disabled, Zhang Zhaocheng died, who else could make Emperor Jianlong believe? This is a good opportunity.
The third master instructed, "Xuan San, send someone to keep an eye on the eldest prince and the fourth prince to see if they have any changes; Pay attention to the changes north of Dengzhou, and lock down the place where Zhu Yuan is going with the pill as soon as possible. Post to the second brother, I want to invite him to eat and drink. β
"Does my mother want to live forever?" After Xiaocao fell asleep at night, Xiao Nuan rubbed to her mother's side and asked softly.
The grass is still small, and there is a naΓ―ve fear of old age and death. After knowing that the Heavenly Master was dead, Xiaocao diverged and thought that her mother would grow old and die one day, and the little girl sadly hugged her mother and cried for a long time before falling asleep.
Qin didn't expect Xiao Nuan to ask this, "Is my mother immortal or is our family immortal?" If there is a mother, what does it mean? β
Before Xiao Nuan could speak, Qin Shi muttered again, "If our family is immortal and everyone else is old and dead, then it's not interesting for us to live." If everyone is immortal, the three emperors and five emperors are up to now, then there must be tens of thousands of people in each family? No matter how big Kyushu is, you can't live in it. Could it be that when the time comes, people will live with people? According to the mother, it is better to live a life of peace and health. You don't think so?"
More than a thousand years later, isn't there so many people that people can live in it, a building should have dozens of floors, and there are several households living on the first floor, and people are crowded.
Let my mother talk like this, Xiao Nuan's thoughts in her head were all gone, and she curled the corners of her mouth and leaned against her mother's side and answered, "Mother is right, immortality is not good, and the most important thing is to be safe and secure all your life." β
"I don't know if it's going to rain tomorrow, it's sad......" Qin muttered again, turned over and patted Xiao Nuan's back, "Sleep." β
Xiao Nuan obediently lay beside her mother and slept peacefully.
The next day, Xiao Nuan cleaned up and went to Qi Zhiheng's house to go to Master Qi's birthday banquet to support Qi Zhiheng.
If she relied on the name of the third master to support Qi Zhiheng in the past, then now she relies on the name of Princess Jiasheng, the lord of Wenchang County. These two names are in the family of businessmen like the Qi family, and they are glamorous.
Therefore, the most distinguished guest of Master Qi's birthday banquet is Xiao Nuan. The Qi family greeted Xiao Nuan at the door to get out of the carriage, and Xiao Nuan found that Zhao Shuyan and Qi Zhiyi were also here.
I haven't seen her for many days, Xiao Nuan has a lot of things to say to the two eldest brothers, but now there are many people, Xiao Nuan has to nod, and she is surrounded by the women of the Qi family into the inner courtyard.
Xiao Nuan's mother and daughter had lived here for more than a month, and everyone was familiar with her, and after everyone exchanged a few words with her, they couldn't suppress their curiosity and asked cautiously, "County Lord, did the Heavenly Master really go?" β
Xiao Nuan nodded, "The master said that the master has left." As for what this "gone" means, how do everyone understand it, Xiao Nuan can't care about it.
The ladies sighed for a while, and the elderly Mrs. Qi was still very excited when she talked about the scene she saw when she was young, and then said regretfully, "In the future, I will never see it again." β
Qi Zhiheng's wife took the opportunity to ask Xiao Nuan, "County Lord, can your master inherit the title of Heavenly Master?" β
Xiao Nuan shook her head, "I'm just a nominal lay disciple, and I don't know much about the affairs of the master." β
Seeing that Xiao Nuan didn't want to mention this matter more, everyone immediately changed the topic and wanted to talk about the side. If you talk about the topic that can be talked about in the capital, Chai Zhisui and Fang Wan, who will visit the church in a few days, leave. But the relationship between these two people and Xiao Nuan is really delicate and can't be talked about; Chatting with Xiao Nuan about some jewelry and clothing, she doesn't like it......
After pondering for a moment, Mrs. Qi coughed and picked the safest one, "The cotton in the county lord's field is growing well?" ()
