Later that day, in the capital, a eunuch arrived here from the palace with his guards.

The Taoist at the gate of Tianxuguan suddenly perked up when he saw the people coming from the palace, and then hurriedly took the eunuch to the guest house where Qi Zhongbin was.

It was nearly evening, the pilgrims in the Heavenly Void View had been greatly reduced, and the costume of the princess in the palace was also particularly obvious, a small number of pilgrims and Taoists in the view were shocked when they saw it, and some of the people who knew that the Heavenly Master was in the view generally understood the situation in their hearts.

Some Taoists went to inform the Guanzhu Xuanyou real person, and some followed from afar.

"Father-in-law, please, the guest house in front of you is the residence of the Heavenly Master."

Zhike Taoist walked to the periphery of the guest house, and then stretched out his hand to ask, and the father-in-law in the palace hurriedly nodded.

"Good! It's hard work! ”

After speaking, the eunuch and the Taoist entered the guest house together, and at this moment, Qi Zhongbin was sitting cross-legged outside the door, his eyes slightly closed as if he was meditating quietly.

The eunuch really saw this immortal wind Dao bone old heavenly master, and his heart was a little excited and nervous, and he couldn't help but look at the Zhike Daoist, and whispered at the same time.

"Dao Chief, is the Heavenly Master meditating, will the miscellaneous family disturb him in the past, will it anger him?"

What are you kidding, this is the Great Yong Heavenly Master canonized during the period of Emperor Lingzong, at least he is more than one hundred and ten years old, and he may even be over one hundred and twenty years old.

is simply a living immortal figure, even if the eunuch in the palace is above the top on weekdays, he has to be cautious in front of this one.

The acquaintance smiled, and the father-in-law was also careful, but he was still relieved.

"Father-in-law, you don't have to worry, the Heavenly Master is just closing his eyes to recuperate, and not long before you came, the Heavenly Master told me that the father-in-law who delivered the decree in the palace will arrive soon, and asked me to go to the gate to greet me."

The old eunuch realized this, and approached the guest house step by step with a little excitement in his heart.

Sure enough, when the old eunuch got closer, Qi Zhongbin, who was closing his eyes, slowly opened his eyes and nodded to the old eunuch and the Zhike Daoren.

Maybe it's a psychological effect, maybe it's true, anyway, the closer the group of people from the palace looked, the more they felt that the old man in front of him had a fairy temperament.

However, although he was in awe, his duty was to represent the Son of Heaven at the moment, and he also raised the holy decree in his hand at this moment.

"Qi Zhongbin receives the order~~"

Qi Zhongbin also stood up from his seat at this moment.

In fact, sending the holy decree directly may be suspected of offending the old heavenly master, and it seems that the imperial power oppresses people, but the holy decree also represents solemnity, but it is just to make some articles on its content.

"I Shao Yingjun's life: I heard that the old heavenly master Qi Zhongbin is in the sky today, and I am hereby invited."

The tone of the holy decree was not strong, to the effect that the emperor would meet the court in the future, and the emperor hoped to invite the old heavenly master to the court to see him.

To the eunuch a sentence "Qin this!" After reading it, Qi Zhongbin also bowed.

"Qi Zhongbin commands!"

After speaking, Qi Zhongbin took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to take the holy decree, the old eunuch was also slightly relieved at the moment, if the old heavenly master didn't take it, he didn't know how to explain it when he went back.

"Heavenly Master, when the miscellaneous family heard about you, they were ten thousand surprised and ten thousand admired, you are a living immortal in the world!"

Gray Mian was on the roof of the guest house at this moment, and when he heard the old eunuch's words, he heard the sound and said to Qi Zhongbin's ear and smiled.

"Hahaha, this old eunuch is not wrong to say that!"

Qi Zhongbin smiled, and he didn't know whether to listen to Gray Mian's words or listen to the old eunuch, but as soon as his smile came out, it also made a few people from the palace feel like a spring breeze.

"The old man is just a few years older, and the father-in-law doesn't have to be like this."

The old eunuch hesitated for a moment, approached Qi Zhongbin and said carefully.

"This, before coming, the saint mentioned it, saying that if there is a chance, ask the old slave to see the gold medal of the old heavenly master, I wonder if the old heavenly master can take it?"

Qi Zhongbin's smile did not change, and he directly took out something from his sleeve and handed it to the old eunuch.

The old eunuch hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and the thing sank when he started, but it was a gold medal half the size of a palm, and in terms of weight, it should be a copper-plated thing.

On the front of the gold medal are the four big characters of "Dayong Heavenly Master".

At the same time, the traces of the pattern engraving on the gold medal are very clear, and there are also traces of time.

When I turned over the back again, there were some sources written, and the old eunuch couldn't help muttering about it.

"The Son of Heaven is the bestow of the world. Kangding for nine years, supervised by Dayong Sitian! ”

Every word seems to have its own weight, and the old eunuch only feels that the gold medal in his hand has become extraordinarily heavy, which actually represents a relatively chaotic history of Dayong back then, with "demons" rampant inside and outside the government and the opposition, and there seem to be a lot of real monsters and evils.

"Father-in-law, bring this gold medal back."

Qi Zhongbin said with a smile, and the old eunuch was surprised, but he was happy in his heart.

"Can you show it to the Son of Heaven?"

Qi Zhongbin nodded.

"Take it back!"

Now the old eunuch's face showed joy.

"Thank you for your understanding, I will definitely return it afterwards!"

Qi Zhongbin did not answer or nod, and said calmly.

"If my father-in-law is fine, Qi needs to meditate and practice."

"Oh, this won't bother the Heavenly Master, the miscellaneous family has retired!"

The old eunuch and the attendants behind him saluted, and Qi Zhongbin also saluted, and then watched the group leave.

At this moment, Gray Mian "slid" from the roof and the wind fell on Qi Zhongbin's shoulder, watching the eunuch over there leave.

——

In the palace, the old eunuch happily returned to the imperial study to resume his life, and the emperor was surprised when he heard it.

"He asked you to bring the gold medal back? Where is it? ”

With a smile, the old eunuch took out the gold medal and handed it to the Son of Heaven with both hands.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the gold medal of the Heavenly Master, the old slave has already seen it carefully, it should be from the palace, please take a look at it."

The chief eunuch on the side had a serious look on his face, but it was not because the old eunuch stole his limelight.

The emperor didn't say anything else, but carefully looked at the gold medal, then turned it over and looked at it carefully, and then looked up at the old eunuch.

"What did the Heavenly Master say when he gave you the gold medal?"

"Oh, he said, please bring this gold medal back, the old slave said that the Son of Heaven will definitely return it after seeing it."

The Emperor immediately asked.

"What did he say?"

The old eunuch was slightly stunned.

"This, the Heavenly Master didn't say anything."

The emperor frowned, pinched the gold medal and was silent for a long time, so that the old eunuch also felt that something was wrong, and became extremely nervous but didn't know why.

The chief eunuch on the side couldn't help but shake his head and said in a low voice.

"You shouldn't have brought back the gold medal of the Heavenly Master."

"Alas"

The Son of Heaven sighed.

"Don't blame you for this, let's go down"

The old eunuch was a little uneasy, but he could only salute and leave, and when he left, the emperor looked at the chief eunuch on the side, and the latter was moved in his heart and hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, why don't you make another gold medal?"

Needless to say, the emperor's eyes lit up.

"Immediately order someone to cast a gold medal, if it is made of pure gold, it will be made according to this shape, it must be fast, and it must be made before dawn!"

"Yes, the old slave will do it!"

The chief eunuch received the gold medal from the emperor and left in a hurry.

In fact, it only needs to be made into a gold medal before the day after tomorrow, but the sooner the better.

——

By the second day, there was already a news in Chengtianfu City that had begun to circulate among the people inadvertently, and some officials had already heard about it.

When Tan Yuanshang went to Tianxuguan, Qi Zhongbin had no intention of avoiding others, so there were actually some Taoists and even pilgrims who heard some words.

Including when Gray Mian appeared, he also scared a lot of people.

Taoists are okay to say, but after those pilgrims leave Tianxuguan, they will inevitably tell their families and brag to their friends.

In this way, the news of an old Heavenly Master in the Heavenly Void Universe spread far and wide, and as more people knew about it, the speed of news spread became faster.

Although it has only been more than a day, many people have already known about the past few meals, and of course the information has also gone a little outside, mainly describing the Heavenly Master as more exaggerated than those who have heard it with their own ears.

But in fact, this exaggerated description is still not as true.

In the East Palace, there are also people who have received the news, but they don't know whether it is true or not.

In the palaces outside, some people were stunned, some were excited, and some were curious.

The prince who likes to dress up as a Confucian student, at this time, there are many people in his faction in the same hall, and the officials present are not very important positions.

The servant described the rumors he had heard on the street outside.

"It is said that the old Heavenly Master lives in the Heavenly Void Pavilion, and he is already more than a hundred years old, and Tan Yuanshang appeared in the Heavenly Void Observatory early yesterday morning!"

The faces of everyone present were cloudy, and some people couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Hmph, it's just a trick!" "What if it's true?"

"Really? I also heard this message before I came here, and I personally checked it at the Si Tianjian dossier, when the Lingzong period did canonize the Heavenly Master, but the Lingzong Emperor liked these gods and ghosts, and the canonized people were all warlocks and even liars."

As he spoke, the man snorted coldly.

"Hmph, in the ninth year of Kangding, the youngest Heavenly Master is thirty-nine years old, the oldest one is sixty-seven years old, and the surname Qi should be forty-three years old, isn't it more than one hundred and twenty years old?"

Saying that, this person also sneered and made a conclusion.

"A hundred and twenty-year-old person is enough to go down in history, but I have heard of those stories in the legends of Zhiwei, I am familiar with history books, but I have never seen a true record of this kind of longevity, if that person is really a heavenly master, it is simply a living immortal!"

Hearing this, many people present were sure in their hearts, and the prince's heart was also a little lighter.

This news is indeed a bit ridiculous, it can only be that Tan Yuanshang is playing tricks, and he deliberately released that he took Hu Kuangming to Tianxuguan, the more he is like this, the deeper the panic caused by the spell that night to the Tan family!

"But where did the master go?"

The Chengtian Mansion Yamen secretly took in the demon monks, and Xiao Yuzhi, the chief catcher, personally took care of it, not to mention that there was information flowing out, that is, few people knew about the many arrests in the Chengtian Mansion Yamen, and only a few people in the Criminal Department knew about it.

——

Another day, before dawn, many Beijing officials hurried to the direction of the palace.

Today is the Great Dynasty Meeting, which is held once in each season, and all officials who are qualified to go to the court in Beijing need to be present, and the princes and nobles are no exception.

And the Golden Palace alone can't accommodate so many people, and there will be many officials outside the Golden Palace.

By the time the sky was bright, the officials of the capital had gathered inside and outside the Golden Palace, and when the morning light completely illuminated the earth, the chief eunuch raised the internal force, and the loud voice also resounded inside and outside the Golden Palace.

"The emperor has arrived—"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty stood solemnly, and the great son of heaven also walked to the dragon chair step by step.

Then the Son of Heaven said the first sentence after sitting down, not to discuss any important affairs of the court.

"Xuantian Master Qi Zhongbin is here!"

The chief eunuch shouted again.

"Xuan-Heavenly Master Qi Zhongbin meets -"

Outside the Golden Temple, there were also people who spread their voices.

"Xuan-Heavenly Master Qi Zhongbin meets -"

The voice was heard in the distance, and someone repeated it aloud to the edge of the court.

"Xuan-Heavenly Master Qi Zhongbin meets -"

The sound went down until it fell into Qi Zhongbin's ears.

Inside and outside the Golden Palace, whether they had heard about it in the past two days or didn't know anything, they all looked at the acquaintances around them with a look of surprise at this moment, and some people couldn't help but whisper.

Among the many princes, some of them looked a little dazed, and a strong fear rose.
