Some things may be coincidences, but some things don't feel like coincidences.

For example, the Heavenly Master Qi Zhongbin is indeed not a coincidence with the same name and surname, it is the Heavenly Master himself.

And the gray-haired mink is difficult to find a similar one even in the wild mountains, let alone human-fed, no, this is not human-fed, because this itself is a monster!

As a result, many things gradually penetrated in Tan Yuansheng's heart, and the interpretation of many things in Tan Yuansheng's heart was gradually subverted

The son of the Yi family, who has been crazy for many years, has a face that does not seem to be old for a long time

Looking back again, when I and the first emperor listened to the book in the house, Mr. Yi talked about "The Fall of the River God", and then recalled that the statues in the temples were all broken

Is that really just a book compiled by Mr. Yi?

Is it possible that decades ago, on the Kaiyang River, the immortal in the book was actually Mr. Yi?

The river god did evil, the immortals were angry, the heavens came to take it, and the heads on the demon slaying platform fell to the ground.

When he saw the monster just now, Tan Yuanshang was afraid of the monster in his heart, but his body reaction was not so big, and the more he thought about it at the moment, the clearer he became, and the goosebumps on his body rose for a while.

Others didn't know that so many thoughts flashed in Tan Yuansheng's heart in a short period of time, and they only thought that he was shocked that there was really a monster and was silent with a shocked face.

Xuanyou Zhenren came to his senses, and although he hesitated slightly, he still spoke with surprise.

"Heavenly Master, you just called that monster, uh, called that spirit marten senior?"

This sentence brought everyone's attention back again, and also brought Tan Yuansheng's mood to reality, because he was also very concerned about this issue.

Qi Zhongbin smiled and explained.

"The gray predecessor is not an ordinary monster, it was originally a great mana demon cultivator, many years ago, he followed the cultivation of Qi Mou, and he scattered his cultivation to re-cultivate, and he took the right path, and he was also Qi's senior teacher, so he was honored as the gray senior!"

Teacher?

When Tan Yuanshang suppressed everything in his heart, he took a few deep breaths, his expression gradually returned to normal, and he began to talk and chat like others again.

They talked about a lot of things, including Qi Zhongbin's being awarded the title of Heavenly Master when he was in his prime, his previous difficulties, the disaster in Lingdong back then, and the fact that he walked the world all these years, so naturally they also talked about the demon monk this time.

Of course, the topic of the demon monk is only limited to the demon monk, Tan Yuanshang does not have a trace of in-depth meaning, and he will not ask Qi Zhongbin anything.

In fact, at this moment, Tan Yuanshang had already understood that this was mostly a royal matter, and he didn't need to do too much, not that he couldn't do that, but he didn't want to overstep his bounds.

Because Tan Yuanshang is not just a businessman, he also understands the court, the royal family, and more importantly, the emperor, who he cares about most in the royal family now, is also the younger generation who has grown up.

Tan Yuanshang and his entourage came early in the morning, but they had lunch in the Tianxu Temple, and stayed until the afternoon, and they were going to end after all.

At the moment when everyone was about to salute, Tan Yuanshang suddenly looked at Qi Zhongbin and said.

"The Heavenly Master has not shied away from others when he talks to us today, if Tan Mou presents your existence to the Emperor, can you mind?"

Qi Zhongbin shook his head with a smile, since he didn't hide or hide, he naturally didn't hide it.

——

In a royal mansion in Chengtian Mansion, the people inside were already anxious like ants on a hot pot at this moment.

The prince dressed as a Confucian scholar had no appearance at all at the moment, and he was pacing back and forth through gritted teeth in the study, and several people stood next to him.

"What about people? What about people? How did a big living person disappear? Missed? He's dead? Caught? You are talking! You, you say, come up with the idea! ”

The palace steward said stubbornly.

"I heard that there was a lot of movement in the Tan Mansion last night, it should be that the mage made a move, but then there was no movement, and I don't know what the situation is, the mage is strong, and the Tan Mansion is defenseless, it should, it shouldn't be an accident"

"What about the man? Didn't anyone stare at last night? ”

The palace steward hurriedly said.

"Your Highness, there are many masters of the Tan family who are vigilant, our people don't dare to get too close, if they find that something is wrong, they will immediately chase them out, but they may be captured alive, and even if the mage has something, he has the magic of Qimen Escape Technique."

The prince took a deep breath, but still couldn't suppress his dissatisfaction.

"Can't you find out if Hu Kuangming is dead?"

Only then did one of his men answer.

"Back to Your Highness, after last night, Tan Yuanshang has stepped up his precautions, and our people don't dare to get too close at all, let alone go to Tan's Mansion to check it, but even if you don't die, it's definitely not comfortable, maybe it's half dead."

The prince perked up and immediately asked.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

That's when the man explained why.

"There are many carriages going out of the Tan Mansion today, and each one seems to have a lot of accompanying guards, this is a suspicious plan, Hu Kuangming must be in extremely poor condition, and he needs to be transferred to a safe place, or it is just an illusion, so that we think that Hu Kuangming has been transferred, but in either case"

Before the man had finished speaking, the prince went on to himself.

"In either case, it means that something important happened to someone in Tan Mansion last night, and it is very likely to be Hu Kuangming!"

"What Your Highness said is very true!"

It was also at this moment that someone suddenly came rushing from outside, and before the person entered the study, the muffled voice had already come in.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Tan Yuanshang has entered the palace!"

The prince looked at the people who came in and nodded slightly, Tan Yuansheng had expected it when he entered the palace, if Hu Kuangming really had an accident, then Tan Yuansheng on the emperor's side was not very easy to explain, and he would definitely enter the palace.

"The big question now is where did the mage go?"

The anger still had to be calm, the people present had seen the mage's methods, and they still didn't want to believe that he would miss, let alone be captured, and there was no trace of a fight in that courtyard house, he must have left by himself.

——

In the palace, Tan Yuanshang hurried to the imperial study, and after waiting for a while, he followed the chief eunuch to face the saint again.

"Tan Yuansheng greets Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me!"

The emperor glanced up at Tan Yuansheng, still reviewing the folds.

"I heard that there was a lot of movement in Tan Mansion last night, but what happened?"

Sure enough, His Majesty already knows, but His Majesty doesn't know everything, Tan Yuanshang nodded and said.

"Back to Your Majesty, there was an exotic demon monk casting a spell last night, wanting to kill Mr. Hu."

The emperor paused slightly as he flipped through the recitals, and slowly raised his head.

"Is there anything wrong with Hu Kuangming?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Mr. Hu has saved countless people in his life, he is a person with great merits, and he is naturally auspicious, and at the moment when my Tan Mansion was in a hurry, there were masters who came to the rescue, and even captured the demon monk who cast the spell!"

The emperor frowned and looked at Tan Yuansheng, but the latter said immediately.

"But I didn't persecute the demon monk too much, and I didn't have the meaning of in-depth understanding, but I just learned from him who helped my Tan Mansion, as for the demon monk, I have already reported the case to the Chengtian Mansion, and Lord Yin has sent someone to take it away."

In this case, Tan Yuanshang will leave it to the emperor himself, and he will stop it.

The emperor wanted to ask if you really didn't ask anything, but looking at Tan Yuansheng's clear eyes, he couldn't ask anymore.

"Alas, it's good that people are okay!"

Tan Yuanshang smiled at the moment.

"Your Majesty, do you know who the master who helped last night was?"

The emperor looked puzzled, wasn't Tan Yuanshang looking for it a long time ago?

"Who is it?"

Tan Yuansheng's smile did not change, he knew that the emperor was in a bad mood during this time, so he also took this opportunity to relieve his mood.

"Please allow Tan to sell a pass."

Tan Yuansheng paused, and then continued.

"Your Majesty, during the time I left the capital, a nursery rhyme began to be arranged in the city, I don't know if Your Majesty has heard it?"

"Oh? What nursery rhymes? ”

The chief eunuch on one side glanced at the emperor, and His Majesty actually knew about it for a long time.

And Tan Yuanshang didn't know it as the emperor, and repeated it very calmly, he not only memorized the nursery rhyme, but even learned the melody, and sang it at the moment.

"Tan Mansion wins the Wangfu, gold and silver are rare, there is no storage in Anzhi, ten Chengtian Mansions, enjoy the delicacies every day, and always have fun"

The emperor looked at Tan Yuanshang at this moment, but saw that there was nothing abnormal on his face, as if he was talking about irrelevant people, and the children's songs were also full of charm, perhaps better than those children.

After the singing was over, Tan Yuansheng still had a smile on his face.

"I have to say that this ballad is really well arranged, and it is catchy to sing! But I didn't know about it when I came back."

"I took Mr. Hu to see the first stone tablet in Chengxing, and appreciated the prestige of my great and prosperous country, and met an old man halfway, who was singing this ballad in his mouth, and also let Tan know about it!"

A smile appeared on the emperor's face.

"That old man is the master who shot last night?"

Tan Yuanshang arched his hand.

"Your Majesty! And this person is my Great Yong Heavenly Master, Qi Zhongbin! ”

"Great Yong Heavenly Master?"

The emperor was slightly stunned, and the chief eunuch on the side was also surprised, and took the lead in speaking.

"Duke Tan, Your Majesty has never canonized any Great Yong Heavenly Master, the first emperor was more disgusted with this kind of thing, Your Majesty has always been filial, and Your Majesty doesn't care much about this kind of thing."

This is also what the emperor wanted to say, and Tan Yuanshang nodded and smiled.

"What my father-in-law said is very true! Not to mention Your Majesty, the first emperor has not been canonized, but can Your Majesty remember that when the Lingdong disaster occurred, there was also a Heavenly Master at that time."

The emperor fell into a memory, at that time he was still carefree, and he had no idea of competing with his brothers for the throne, in fact, although he had a deep impression of Lingdong, it was not detailed.

And Tan Yuanshang also saw that the emperor was thinking, so he immediately said.

"This dynasty has canonized the Heavenly Master, but it is Emperor Lingzong, and he has also canonized more than one at the beginning, and this Qi Zhongbin Qi Old Heavenly Master is one of them, and he is also the Old Heavenly Master who appeared during the Lingdong disaster!"

Emperor Lingzong, grandfather?

The Emperor looked stunned.

"How many years have passed?"
