Li Tianshi knew that Jin Guifei was angry with him, angry that he was not quick enough to react, and angry that he didn't fight back after Zhang Weizhao's coy posture.

But Zhang Weizhao has already done the trick he wants to do in advance, and he will do it again, no one else has done it yet, isn't it self-defeating?

The other party came prepared, and the queen mother supported him, so Li Tianshi decided to stop fighting today and make plans afterwards. Li Tianshi didn't care how Jin Guifei looked at her, she kept standing there pretending to be a quail and not moving.

After the ritual of the Midyear Festival, the reputation of Zhaoming Zhenren spread throughout the capital.

A young Kun Dao, the Taoism is not inferior to Li Tianshi, who has practiced for many years, and some people say that Zhang Weizhao is the reincarnation of the goddess next to the Queen Mother of the West. Others chimed in and said that the Queen Mother of the West was in charge of women's childbirth, so Zhang Weizhao was very good at delivering babies, and no matter how difficult the birth was, she could keep the mother and child safe in her hands. Some people also say that Zhang Weizhao is the most kind to young children, children cry at night and are weak, as long as they invite her to chant mantras and pray for blessings, they will get better immediately.

For a while, among the women in the capital, no matter whether they were high or low, they were all proud to see the real side of Zhaoming.

However, it was said that Zhang Weizhao showed her power at the festival on the day of the Midyear Festival, but in fact, it was not that she was able to do magic, but that there was a team behind her to do technical support.

For example, fireworks rise, slashing demons and seeing blood, these Taoist secret methods are some simple chemical reactions, but only chemical reactions are not enough, they must be combined with ritualized things such as dancing and chanting to have a miraculous effect. These things are naturally not a problem for Zhang Rongkun, he not only taught Zhang Weizhao all the Taoist secret rituals, but also improved them, striving to overpower those old-school heavenly masters.

Another example is the blue bird, but it is Chen Youcong's idea, he feels that the atmosphere of only punishing demons is too heavy, and he hopes that people can regard Zhang Weizhao as a messenger who brings happiness and auspiciousness, not just King Kong who kills demons, so he personally arranged this play.

The Queen Mother was also invited to sit at the festival, so as not to make a ghost for Jin Guifei and others, become angry and angry, and kill the killer. How could the Queen Mother not want to participate in such a lively event? At the moment, I am waiting with anticipation to see a good show.

Rather than being beaten passively, it is better to take the initiative to meet it, which is Zhang Weizhao's consistent criterion. This victory not only made Zhang Weizhao and Chen Youcong very happy, but also made the Queen Mother very happy. Chen Youcong and the Queen Mother personally experienced what Zhang Weizhao often said about "teaming up to fight monsters" this time. During this time, the Queen Mother heard Zhang Weizhao mention Zhang Rongkun more frequently, and she was even more curious about this old Taoist who had a lot of skills and unexpected ideas.

During this time, the Queen Mother's Changle Palace was peaceful and joyful, but Jin Guifei's Anxi Palace was the opposite, full of depressing and depressing atmosphere.

It's just that unlike in the past, since the end of the festival, Jin Guifei didn't drop things and send the palace maid down, but began to think about it according to her temperament.

She felt that since she became a concubine, she had few opponents in the harem, so she was careless. A little pawn like Zhang Weizhao only said that he was crushed to death by stretching out a finger, but she climbed up along her finger and bit her life.

This girl can't be underestimated against her anymore. Because not only has she gradually become a climate now, but the queen mother and the crown prince standing behind her have also gradually grown in power. It is not a wise thing to press on the front, the other party is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, the kind of market splashing skin does not care about it, even a cold-faced and hard-hearted person like Jin Guifei feels a little tricky.

Jin Guifei summoned Li Tianshi, Tong Zhenren and Wang Zhi to discuss countermeasures.

Li Tianshi and Wang Zhi have both stumbled in the past, so it is difficult for them to speak rashly.

The innocent man who claims to have yin and yang eyes doesn't have so many scruples. His eyes were still covered with a cloth belt, but his momentum was not affected by this cloth belt at all, and he saluted Jin Guifei and said:

"The concubine Niang Niang should not be worried, the current Zhang Weizhao has received the grace of the saint and is in full swing, so it will be so difficult to deal with. According to the view of the poor road, it is better to think about it in the long run, first promote it and then suppress it, and take it in a roundabout way. ”

"What does it mean to first raise and then suppress, and take it in a roundabout way?" Jin Guifei asked.

"If she wants to be famous, let her be famous. If you want to attract people's hearts, send someone to solicit her. However, it is necessary to know that when the water is full, it will overflow, the moon will be profitable, and it will fall heavily when it ascends. How old is she, and how much real ability can she have? When His Majesty finds out that she is just a vain name, and she is suspected of bullying the king, it will be the end of her good life. ”

Jin Guifei nodded slowly.

Zhang Weizhao found that after the Midyear Festival on July 15, Jin Guifei's side stopped a lot. The people of the Jin family no longer trouble her openly and secretly, and the Flying Immortal Palace was also built very smoothly.

Even, she also received some messages from Wang Zhi to show her goodwill, for example, when she went to the Feixian Palace to check the progress of the construction, two little eunuchs stood not far from her, and "whispered" in a voice that could obviously make her hear, saying that Tian Mao, the eunuch of the Inner Punishment Hall, would kill himself for many injustices, and was dealt with by the Admiral a few days ago.

Zhang Weizhao knew that this was for her.

The murderer who killed the pothos died, and Zhang Weizhao didn't feel much easier. She returned to the incense hall that night and held a small refining ceremony to chant sutras for the green pothos, hoping that her soul could be free from pain and die in a happy land. At the same time, he also recited a few volumes of mantras for Tian Mao, hoping that he could cleanse himself of sins and get rid of the sea of suffering.

Jin Guifei stopped for the time being, and Emperor Chen Jianjun was not calm again. Why? It's because of the spells that Zhang Weizhao did on the Midyear Festival.

The emperor is not very interested in spells, he is interested in the part of Zhang Weizhao's spells related to the Queen Mother of the West.

Chen Jianjun called Zhang Weizhao to Xinuan Pavilion, pulled everyone back, and said:

"Those spells that you will perform in the Midyear Festival, I know that if you ask you, you will only say that the heavenly secret cannot be revealed, so I won't ask you."

Zhang Weizhao lowered his head and saluted Chen Jianjun without saying anything.

"But there's one thing I want you to be honest with." Chen Jianjun looked at Zhang Weizhao with shining eyes: "The world says that the Queen Mother of the West has an elixir, but is it true? ”

"I don't know." Zhang Weizhao didn't think about it, and immediately replied.

"You don't know?" Chen Jianjun's disappointment was overflowing, "Aren't you even able to summon the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West, you say you don't know?" ”

"The world is a legend that the Queen Mother of the West has the medicine of immortality. If someone cultivates to become an immortal, he can get the medicine given by the Queen Mother of the West, and he will enjoy eternal life and be free from the world. But what happened after becoming an immortal at that time had nothing to do with mortals. ”

"In other words, unless you become an immortal, you can't get the elixir of immortality?"

"Exactly."

Chen Jianjun let out a long sigh and didn't speak for a long time.

When he spoke again, his voice was much lower, and he lost the high interest of Fang Cai: "Where do people go when they die?" It seemed to be asking, and it seemed to be muttering to himself.

"Go to all sorts of different places." Zhang Weizhao replied.

"Is there really a heaven and hell?" Chen Jianjun is middle-aged, and his biggest obsession is the question of life and death.

"One thought is heaven, one thought is hell." This is Zhang Weizhao's sincere feeling after studying psychology.

"Hugh is going to fool me with such words." Chen Jianjun still doesn't understand this.

"There are different worlds in this world, and the world we live in is just a sand of the Ganges." This is also Zhang Weizhao's own real experience.

"What will the rest of the world be like?" At this time, Chen Jianjun seemed to have regressed to the period of innocent childhood, full of questions and curiosity about the origin of the existence of the universe.

"Some worlds are similar to us, some are very different. For example, in some worlds, people can indeed fly in the sky, dive underwater, prolong their lives, increase their wisdom, and have plenty of food. But there are still many problems, and there is still no escape from the limit of life and death. This is the world that Zhang Weizhao once lived in, and Zhang Weizhao has infinite emotion when he mentions it.

"Really? Is there really such a world? Chen Jianjun is full of yearning.

"Really."

"In this way, life and death are not so terrible." Chen Jianjun muttered. "But I still can't find out." He suddenly turned to Zhang Weizhao and said, "If there is no elixir, is there a medicine to regain youth?" ”

"It's impossible to get back to youth. But there is a way to delay aging as much as possible, and this method is to practice health preservation. That's what you're doing, Your Majesty. ”

"Meditating to cultivate temperament, doing five poultry plays to keep fit, she doesn't like to do these. It is best to have a refined pill to take it, which is simple and cheap. Chen Jianjun sighed.

Zhang Weizhao suddenly understood: "What Your Majesty is talking about, Guifei Niangniang?" ”

Chen Jianjun nodded and didn't speak for a long time, his mind was very complicated. First of all, when he asked Zhang Weizhao if there was an elixir in the world, he asked for himself. Although he no longer always suspected that he would die at the age of thirty-eight, the signs of aging were evident step by step. It would be great if there was an elixir of immortality that would stop him from fearing death. He also knew that this was too bizarre, but he still hoped that it would happen, but he was disappointed.

Secondly, when he asked if there was any medicine to regain his youth, he mainly asked for Jin Guifei. Of course, he hopes to keep his young and robust years a little longer, but he hopes more to be able to recall the vibrant and tender Jin Guifei back then.

She was seventeen years older than herself, and she didn't care how old she was. But as she got older, her anger grew heavier day by day. She only complained that she was not as affectionately attached to her as before, but she herself was no longer the golden bell she used to be. She used to be overjoyed to see him, but now, even when she was smiling, he could feel her heart full of sorrow, worry, and anger.

He hoped that she could practice Qi refining with him, but Jin Guifei was not interested in this, and only devoted almost all of her energy to pursuing him. She wants her to always be with her, to look at her, to give her peace of mind, and never to look at others. It seems that as long as Chen Jianjun can do this, she will no longer age, will not be afraid of death, and will have no regrets.
