The thirtieth day of the lunar month, the capital.

Palace lamps are hung in front of each door in the palace, and the red Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the door, which looks very lively, and suppresses the severe cold of the winter in the north.

The emperor's dormitory was extremely cold.

It was already a cold winter, but the windows of the dormitory were wide open, and the cold wind outside poured in without hindrance, and there was no charcoal fire in the hall to keep warm, and the sun outside could not shine in half a minute of sunshine.

However, the two people in the hall didn't seem to feel the cold, one was wearing a bright yellow thin middle coat, and the other was wearing a yin and yang robe with white background and wide sleeves, and the two of them sat in front of the window, the cold wind blew their hair fluttering, but the two didn't care, like an immortal floating out of the dust, beyond the world.

One of them is white, the other is black, and they are playing chess.

Between the two fingers that were as warm as jade, there was a white jade chess piece, and it was gently placed on the chessboard.

"Your Majesty, you lost."

Seeing this, the man in the bright yellow shirt threw the sunspot in his hand and smiled heartily.

"Heavenly Master, you are using me as a child, and you happen to beat me by half an eye in every game, is this deliberately trying to slap me in the face?"

The man in the Taoist robe looked no more than twenty years old, his face was warm, and his black hair was scattered behind his shoulders, like a humble gentleman, but his eyes seemed to contain a vast galaxy that should not be at this age, profound and mysterious.

With a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, he picked up the teacup that had already been cold and took a sip of tea.

The emperor shook his head at his smiling and silent appearance, and casually threw the chess pieces in his hand into the box.

"Boring! It's boring! I shouldn't have asked you to play chess, your chess skills are much higher than mine, and if you win, you win, and you are so responsive, compared to you, those old guys who are full of ethics and morals look much cuter. ”

The robed man shook his head.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong, if you talk about age, the poor Dao is much older than the old guy in your mouth."

The emperor laughed for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Heavenly Master, if you spread this, you will offend those old fellows whose faces are as wrinkled as tree bark. Who would believe that you are older than all those old things? ”

The man in the Taoist robe still shook his head and smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, you are over half a hundred years old, but you still have a ruddy complexion and are full of energy, which is more than enough for young people with strong blood, which is enough to envy others." ”

The emperor's laughter grew louder, and he went straight through the window and floated out of it.

Two little eunuchs were waiting in front of the door, and when they heard the emperor's laughter, they glanced at each other.

"Every time Duan Tianshi comes over, Your Majesty is in such a good mood, Duan Tianshi is really deeply favored!"

One of the little eunuchs couldn't help but sigh.

Over the years, His Majesty's temperament has become more and more moody, and even Duan's father-in-law, who has served him for many years, has always been reprimanded, but this Heavenly Master, His Majesty will always greet him with a smile, which is really envious and jealous.

When the other little eunuch heard this, he immediately gave him a blank look, and whispered:

"What nonsense, what kind of spoiled or not, Duan Tianshi's mana is boundless, Your Majesty respects Duan Tianshi."

The little eunuch in the front knew that he was speechless, so he hurriedly slapped his mouth, and quietly turned his head to peek at the window, and heard that Duan Tianshi's magic power was boundless, and he couldn't hide his eyes and ears from his own evil spirits, and he didn't know if his words were heard by the other party.

Thinking of this, the little eunuch shrunk his neck, and felt that the sky seemed to be colder.

"I still have to rely on the Heavenly Master for my current body, I don't want to stay as young as the Heavenly Master, I just hope that I can live longer without illness and disaster, so as to keep the country stable."

The emperor restrained his smile and looked at the man in the Taoist robe with burning eyes, and his tone was solemn.

The man in the robe still has the appearance of Gujing Wubo, and the arc of the shallow smile at the corner of his mouth has not changed by half a minute.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to take the Wuji Pill."

Wuji, as the name suggests, is that there is no limit.

Wuji Pill is an elixir that breaks through the limits of human beings.

What are the limits of man?

Kangtai, longevity, kidney qi and other factors that affect a person's daily activities and age and offspring, breaking through their limits, can naturally prolong life, lock essence and strengthen yang, and even, immortality.

The emperor put his hand into the warm water held by another eunuch, and after cleaning his hands, he took the pill in the box and took it with a cloth towel to dry it.

When the pill was in his stomach, the emperor's face instantly turned red, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were all hot together, and his forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat.

The sweat was wiped over and over again, and the cloth towel in Gonggong Zheng's hand was also soaked in cold water again and again, and after about a stick of incense, the flushing on the emperor's face faded, and the heat of the seven orifices also dissipated.

The emperor finally stopped sweating, Gonggong Zheng threw the cloth towel into the basin, waved his hand to let the little eunuch holding the copper basin retreat, and he also put the dust on his arm, bowed to the emperor, and bowed his head to retire.

"Whew, that's fun!"

The emperor was full of energy, and his voice was like a bell.

His complexion became more ruddy, even his fatigue dissipated, his state was too good, and he was even a little excited, wanting to go to the harem immediately to find a few concubines to fight.

The emperor took the tea that had already cooled on the table, and drank it cleanly.

"Now that the cold can't defeat me, meeting the Heavenly Master in this life is really a blessing for me and a blessing for the country!"

The man in the Taoist robe still had a modest smile on his face, and did not show any excitement at the emperor's praise.

The emperor has long been accustomed to his appearance, and he doesn't care about it, a master, he thinks he is not happy with things, he is not sad with himself, how can he live with common sense.

The man in the Taoist robe stood up and bowed slightly towards the emperor.

"If there is nothing to do today, the poor road will retire first."

The emperor was a little reluctant, suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly: "I don't know how Mr. Zhao went to Jintan." ”

His eagerness was true, and he was very concerned about the matter of the Golden Altar.

The man in the Taoist robe smiled, "The journey from the capital to Jintan is long, and I think Lord Zhao is still on the way." ”

The emperor frowned slightly, a little unwilling, if this matter was not done as soon as possible, he was really uneasy.

Then Zhao Chou is really, I don't know if I will report the progress when I send the message?

The Dao-robed man said again, "Your Majesty, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is about to begin, and you should prepare." ”

This is the resignation of the proposal again.

The emperor sighed reluctantly, he has now begun to open the valley, and he is really not interested in the worldly food, but the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet cannot be abolished, even if he is the emperor, he cannot break the rules handed down by his ancestors.

At this time, in Jeju, 800 miles away, a group of chariots and horses drove into the city under the gaze of the guards guarding the city.

"Lord Luo, I have calculated that there will be heavy snow tomorrow, and we will probably be delayed here for a few days."
