In the first three years of Tai, Liu Yu, the current saint of the Liu Song Dynasty, was infected with a vicious disease, although it was a secret in the palace, but more or less there were some rumors, and for a time the ministers of the court had different thoughts.

The Tai Hospital has almost exhausted all methods, but the Holy Lord still falls into a coma from time to time, and he can't diagnose what the exact illness is. When everyone was helpless, Liu Xiuren, the king of Jian'an, proposed to invite Lu Xiujing, the head of the Qing Sect on Maoshan Mountain, to enter the court to treat the emperor's illness.

Lu Jingxiu, a Taoist of the three caves, traveled all over the famous mountains in his early years, collected Taoist books extensively, and divided the collected Taoist books into three parts: Dongzhen, Dongxuan, and Dongshen, which is called "the three caves in general". It is rumored that his cultivation has reached the realm of refining the gods and returning the void in the Shangqing exercises, and he has provided free medical treatment for the poor people in Su Ri, and has won the hearts of the people among the people. The Holy Father issued an edict to invite Lu Jingxiu, a Taoist from the Three Caves, to enter the court, which was extremely polite and regarded as a guest. That humane bone is clear, and he also brought a group of apprentices, and the leader is Sun Youyue, a Taoist priest from Maoshan who has had several relationships with Tao Hongjing.

After Lu Xiujing hung his pulse for consultation, he closed his meditation, and after a while, he took out a small jade bottle from his pocket, he poured out a few pills, and let the emperor swallow them with water. The pill melted in his mouth, and he suddenly felt a warm current in his heart. At this time, the Taoist took out a row of silver needles from his sleeve, and silently recited the magic in his mouth, sometimes slow and slow, everyone looked at Lu Xiujing curiously, half an hour later, he put the needles into his sleeve, and his palms moved, and a stream of heat passed from his palm to the emperor's body, and the emperor woke up slowly. A few days later, the Holy Decree built the Chongxu Pavilion for the Shangqing Sect in the northern suburbs of Beijing for the purpose of cultivation.

This new royal celebrity and the medical skills of rejuvenating the magic hand have become a new topic of conversation among the officials and nobles of Beijing after tea and dinner.

It was night, in the palace of Liu Song, the candles outside the Zichen Hall where the emperor lived, and rows of Yulin guards who were waiting for the battle were patrolling with swords.

In the dormitory, Emperor Liu Yu was wearing a Xuanhuang bedrobe and leaning on the head of the bed, and it was the royal celebrity who was hanging on the side of the dragon bed to ask for a consultation, Lu Xiujing, a Taoist priest in the three caves.

"Real person, is there a big problem with my stubborn disease? You can talk to me carefully, and you don't have to hide it. Liu Yu's face was a little pale, and he was weak to speak.

Lu Xiujing brushed the dust with one hand and listened carefully to the pulse with the other, then put down the emperor's hand, took a few steps back and gave a blessing, "The illness of the saint is originally a heart disease. ”

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked directly at Lu Xiujing, "How could I have a heart disease?" But what poison is there in the body? ”

Lu Xiujing replied when he heard this, "This illness is not caused by poison, but more like too much killing, causing too much yin qi in the palace, evil spirits are born and unable to sleep at night, and the heart is often frightened and uneasy, which leads to blockage of qi and veins, and gradually forms a stubborn disease over time." ”

Liu Yu seemed to be told what was on his mind, and the look in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he pondered for a long time before he said, "According to what real people see, what should I do?" ”

Lu Xiujing gave a salute and said: "The saint can build a charcoal fast in the palace to pay tribute to the dead in the palace, so as not to add more karma." Lao Dao, I will work with my disciples to free the souls of the world, and help them ascend to the Paradise Immortal Land as soon as possible and no longer covet the yang world. ”

"Just do as the Taoist chief says." The emperor seemed to be tired, accompanied by the aroma of herbs, and drowsy.

The next day, Wang Zhao's mansion had a big banquet for guests, Wang Hao needed to go to toast and salute, and the little maid came to pass it and asked Tao Hongjing to go to the banquet together. The two hurried to the hall, and after greeting each other, they took their seats during the banquet, and Wang Hao whispered in Tao Hongjing's ear, "This is the son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites...... That is the red man next to the prince......"

Tao Hongjing followed Wang Hao's introduction and looked at everyone one by one. When the house was full of joy, someone proposed to let the young sons play the wine order, before this elegant fun began, suddenly from outside the courtyard came a burst of rich wine fragrance, everyone thought about where the wine fragrance came from, and a soldier flew in a moment, not waiting for everyone to see the appearance clearly, it has leisurely landed on the first seat, this person is ethereal, a cyan robe crane bone fairy wind, waist hanging wine bottle, carrying a long sword, quite a wine meeting friends with a bold state.

When everyone saw such a volley method, they all knelt down and saluted, saying that the immortal master appeared to the spirit. Only that Tao Hongjing saw that it was a person from Namao Mountain, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Good apprentice, hurry up and go with the teacher, this Situ Mansion is not a place to stay for a long time." As he spoke, he got up in front of Tao Hongjing, pulled up his sleeves and was about to fly out.

Wang Zhao didn't follow, and when he heard this, he was angry, "Where did the demon Dao come from, and he dared to be presumptuous in Situ Mansion!" Before Wang Zhao's words fell, a guard leader strode forward, and a heavy fist was about to swing towards the man. This punch was as fast as lightning, with the wind of the blade, it was obvious that this leader was quite accomplished in boxing, and he was about to knock down this thin Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest easily dodged the blow with a biased body. A hint of banter flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't pay attention to the leader of the guards at all, and with a quick slash of his right hand in the void, an invisible force suddenly erupted, shaking the leader of the guards upside down and flying out. Before the leader could say a word, he fainted and fell unconscious.

When the guards saw this, they were all shocked. They glanced at each other, and then looked at Wang Zhao, and Wang Zhao's face became even more gloomy, he didn't expect this demon Dao to really have such ability.

"What are you waiting for? Come on! As soon as Wang Zhao gave the order, all the guards rushed towards the Taoist. I saw that the Dao man took out a few yellow talismans in his hand and swayed out, and instantly turned into several Dao Boys who emitted golden light around their bodies to fight, those golden Dao Boys were extremely flexible, no matter how the guards slashed, they were always easily dodged, and a punch was blasted out, and the weapons in the hands of the guards were shaken off, and the entire hall suddenly fell into a scuffle.

Sun Youyue didn't want to hurt the innocent, seeing that the others were hiding in the distance, he turned around and came to Tao Hongjing, seeing that Tao Hongjing wanted to say something to stop him, he smiled in his eyes, after all, he was a kind-hearted boy. Sun Youyue was in the center of his eyebrows, and a golden light did not enter it, and then he didn't stay any longer, and flew out of the door, and the people in the hall only saw a figure flashing and never saw the Taoist figure again.

At this time, Tao Hongjing's ears sounded the words of the man: "Good apprentice, when you encounter danger, you only need to say a silent word Master, and I will come to save you, remember, remember." Tao Hongjing was a little helpless, the last time he met this person, he wanted to accept himself as an apprentice, he rejected him, and now he came to Situ Mansion to make a big fuss for himself, how should it end?

Just as Wang Zhao was about to beckon Tao Hongjing to come forward and carefully inquire about the origin of this demon path, the other adults said goodbye and did not dare to stay any longer, some were afraid of offending the immortals, and some were kind enough to mention Wang Zhao one or two: "Do you know the major events that have happened in Jingshi recently?" ”

Wang Zhao was puzzled, and the man said, "Now Lu Xiujing, the master of the Shangqing sect of Taoism, is diagnosing and treating the dragon body for the saint in the court, and he is full of grace. ”

Wang Zhao smiled disdainfully and talked to him, "That person is acting crazy, how can he have the behavior of a master of the Immortal Family?" It's clearly a demon way! ”

When the kind-hearted official heard Wang Zhao say this, he hurriedly waved his hand and got up to say goodbye. Seeing this, the others also left, and a party broke up unhappily.

Lu Xiujing was originally in a teahouse not far from Situ's mansion, ordered a pot of fine cedar tea and tasted it carefully, and when Sun Youyue went upstairs, he asked, "That young man is the child you are talking about?" ”

Sun Youyue's head was silent, and Lu Xiujing smiled slightly, "I see that this son's pupils are clear, his eyebrows are full of heroism, and he has a detached attitude between his gestures, which is born with my Taoism." The fate of the two of you as master and apprentice has been completed, but you don't have to be anxious, and take a look. ”

"But Master, Wang Situ secretly participated in the rebellion, this child must be in danger of staying here, I am only afraid of ......" Sun Youyue did not finish speaking, Lu Xiujing immediately interrupted him and said: "In the affairs of the court, it is better for us and other cultivators to interfere less, since the child is in the game, it should be regarded as an experience, and I can protect it secretly, so there is no need to worry too much." ”

After speaking, he poured another cup of tea, and in the haze of smoke, he said slowly: "This time, King Jian'an urgently summoned my elite disciples of the Shangqing Sect to enter Beijing, I am afraid that it is not just to treat the saint, this Jiankang City is peaceful on the surface, the undercurrent is surging inside, and the masters of various factions are watching in secret, you and I should be careful!" ”

A hundred flowers compete for beauty, and the warbler flies and the grass grows. In the Imperial Garden of the Liu Song Palace.

Emperor Liu Yu was still in good spirits today, and he strolled through the garden with the support of his chamberlain, and Lu Xiujing also accompanied him. The two were chatting about the method of health preservation without a match, and the eunuch suddenly stepped forward to report, and the king of Jian'an asked to see him.

His brows furrowed, this hour was coming, and there was an urgent matter. Everyone returned to the Taiji Palace, King Jian'an was already waiting for the Holy Driver outside, heard the emperor call himself, King Jian'an walked into the hall quickly, he handed over a fold, some want to speak and stop.

Liu Yu knew his brother well, he waved his hand to signal the eunuch to retreat, Lu Xiujing knew that it was inconvenient and was ready to leave, but was stopped by the emperor, "It's okay to be a teacher, just smell it here." Lu Xiujing stopped and stood up straight.

Seeing that this person was relieved, King Jian'an turned dark in his eyes, and saluted, "Your Majesty, there is a minister who has reported Wang Zhao, the chief official of the palace. This person's rebellious deeds have been recorded in the fold, and the Holy God is invited to decide. ”

The emperor picked up the cyan fold presented by the chamberlain, and unfolded his gaze carefully, which actually said that Wang Zhao was a wolf with ambition, and had recorded the secrets of the royal family for a long time, and recorded the emperor Liu Yu and Jian'an King Liu Xiuren plotting to assassinate the former deposed emperor Liu Ziye, and there was also a matter of King Jian'an secretly helping Emperor Liu Yu to kill all the heirs of Emperor Liu Jun of Xiaowu Emperor.

Liu Yulongyan was furious and reprimanded angrily: "Such a sinister person who harbors evil intentions! How can you be by the side of the virtuous brother? Raid the house and give death. ”

King Jian'an was about to accept the order, but suddenly heard Lu Xiujing persuade, "The emperor can't!" There are many causes and effects in this, and we should investigate clearly before making a decision, and it is not appropriate to make a murder at this time! ”

Although the emperor had already started to kill, after listening to Lu Xiujing's words at this time, he felt that it was not unreasonable, so he issued an order: "King Jian'an listens to the order, and I order you to rush to this traitor's mansion and pay his whole family to the court lieutenant for trial!" ”

King Jian'an hurriedly accepted the order and left in a hurry.
