Chapter 610: I'm going to learn the Tao
Lu Ning invented many things, and later found that no matter what he wanted to invent, someone would always intervene, either destroying his laboratory or jamming his experiment.
Until one day, a cronie of the East Palace came over and hinted.
"The prince can invent these things, it must be the will of God, but if you leak the secret of heaven too much, I am afraid that you will be punished by God."
Lu Ning heard the song and knew the elegance, and wanted to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, but found that he didn't know when he would return to Fengyang.
Now the court is still the crown prince's state, but the scholars have changed, and the scholars have also changed, and many people he doesn't know anymore.
Only then did he know that his eldest brother Zhu Biao, who used to rely on him very much, had now begun to guard against himself.
Zhu Biao was very polite to him and asked.
"I wonder what Zi'an plans to do next?"
Lu Ning replied with a smile.
"Brother Chen wants to learn the Tao from Zhang Tianshi of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and see if he can fly to Xiaju."
Zhu Biao smiled and said helplessly.
"Liu Ji, a former scholar, once said that the things of immortals are always false, so don't you have to study them as well?"
Lu Ning said to him.
"Brother Chen wants to see if he is destined, if so, even if he can't ascend, if he can learn some spells, he can pray for the Ming Dynasty to be smooth."
Zhu Biao laughed and said immediately.
"Others can't do it, but Brother Wei still has confidence in you, so you can go to the inner mansion to support five thousand taels of silver as your funds for learning the Tao, and go to Longhu Mountain to find Zhang Tianshi yourself."
Lu Ning took the silver and went straight to Longhu Mountain, and the staff under the prince all gathered together.
"Your Highness, do you think His Royal Highness the Protector King can ascend to immortality?"
Zhu Biao shook his head and said.
"Although my father once canonized the sloppy immortal Zhang Sanfeng, no one can say what the immortal is."
His subordinate asked again.
"In that case, why did His Highness pay him to cultivate immortals and learn the Dao?"
Zhu Biao smiled and said.
"After the loyal ministers and good generals from ancient times became famous, most of them were willing to cultivate immortals and learn the Tao, such as Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty, and Li Jing in the early Tang Dynasty.
The Horse Wash of the Economic Bureau beside him whispered.
"If His Royal Highness the King is sincere in cultivating the Tao, it will also be a blessing for my Daming, but I am afraid that he will have the money to recruit troops and horses, and at that time, His Highness's throne will be in danger."
Zhu Biao smiled and said.
"I'll give him a period of study first, and then I'll welcome him back with the etiquette of welcoming the gods, and tell him to cast spells, and if he can succeed, he will be rewarded, and if he can't succeed, he will be derelict in his duties."
He didn't say what was going on, but the ministers understood it.
The Heavenly Master Dao has been passed down from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present, and it is already the forty-third generation, and the name of the Heavenly Master at this time is Zhang Yuchu.
This is an adult Taoist who is less than thirty years old, polite to others, elegant in conversation, and faintly has a feeling of being born out of the world.
I heard that His Royal Highness, the most important protector of the imperial court, was coming to visit Longhu Mountain, and took him in with a very grand ceremony.
After Lu Ning finished greeting him, he said straight to the point.
"Heavenly Master, Little King Zhu Tang, admires the Taoism of Longhu Mountain so much, I want to open my eyes, I don't know if the Heavenly Master is willing to give teachings."
The Celestial Master was surprised and asked.
"I wonder what spells Your Highness wants to see? Is it the Taoist talisman technique, or the art of immortality, or the art of serving ghosts?"
Lu Ning smiled and said.
"Xiao Wang is very ignorant, and he doesn't understand the clever Taoism of Taoism, but he is very curious about the ghost arts, and I wonder if the Heavenly Master can demonstrate it?"
Zhang Tianshi smiled and replied.
"It's broad daylight, some
The spell is inconvenient to demonstrate, come and serve tea to His Highness."
At this moment, the music in Zhang Tianshi's mansion sounded.
A light-footed woman walked in from outside, holding a teapot in her hand, and respectfully came to Lu's side and stood less than five steps.
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, wondering, why didn't you just bring him the tea?
Seeing the woman's palm stretched out, the teapot suddenly flew up out of thin air, and slowly came to the teacup in front of Lu Ning's eyes.
No one controlled it, but he tilted it slightly, poured the tea into the cup uncontrollably, poured about two-thirds of it, and slowly carried it back into the woman's hand again.
The Celestial Master raised the teacup and said.
"My lord, please taste it, this is a good tea unique to Longhu Mountain."
In the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, the host holding the teacup means sending off guests, but there is no such bad habit of officialdom in Daming, and the exchanges between people are quite simple.
Lu Ning was very curious, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and sure enough, he saw that this tea was abnormally mellow, which could be seen to be a treasure in the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Then he praised the tea and asked the other party what it was made of?
Zhang Tianshi smiled slightly and said.
"This is concocted according to the secret method of the tea saint Lu Hongji, but this method has been lost among the people."
Lu Ning smiled and said.
"It turned out to be Xiao Wang's former family, and Xiao Wang is now a layman, but he is a little ashamed of his ancestors."
Zhang Tianshi knew that the name Zhu Tang was given by Zhu Yuanzhang, and this prince was just the emperor's adopted son, originally called Lu Ning, so he smiled.
Looking at Lu Ning carefully looking at the teacup, and then at the woman serving tea next to him, he was puzzled.
So he smiled and asked,
"What is the prince pondering?"
Lu Ning said.
"This tea is so fragrant, can you please ask that Venerable Master to pour me another cup?"
Zhang Tianshi naturally understood what he meant, so he gave an order to the maid, and the teapot in the maid's hand flew up out of thin air again and slowly came to Lu Ning.
Lu Ning didn't move, carefully observing these teapots, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
