Chapter 192: Welcoming the Gods

Kong Zhaozi said: "This matter is very difficult, I have to go into the palace to consult the head of the Heavenly Master." ”

Xu Wentao said: "I was about to trouble Master Kongzhao to enter the palace for a hard trip." ”

Kong Zhaozi said: "I'll enter the palace in the afternoon, you can come in the evening." Both good and bad give you a certainty. ”

"Thank you!

This matter must be this, Xu Wentao got up and said goodbye.

In the evening, Xu Wentao took the Hu family to the house of Kongzhaozi in Yangjing Lane. Empty Zhaozi is at home, the guests and hosts meet, and offer tea.

Kong Zhaozi said: "I have met the master, and he has promised to help, but whether it succeeds or not, it can only rely on the will of God." ”

"If the gods say, they will definitely succeed. ”

Sora Teruko said: "Three days later, a meeting will be held to welcome the gods, and when the time comes, please wait for the good news." With that, stand up. Xu Wentao took his leave.

In the inner garden, Emperor Jiajing fasted for three days, bathed and cleansed, and prepared to hold a meeting to welcome the gods.

In the afternoon of this day, the auspicious time has arrived, the weather is clear, the blue sky is thousands of miles, the wisps of auspicious clouds, in front of the main hall, the good trees are lush, the fragrant mist is swirling. The emperor led Yan Song's father and son and other close ministers to come forward and bow with incense. Yan Song recited the words of Yingshenrui, and the eunuchs and palace maids stood solemnly on both sides, silent.

For a long time, there was not a trace of wind. Looking up at the sky, the glazed tiles on the roof of the palace shone with an auspicious light. Suddenly, the fairy music was ethereal, and the fragrance was fragrant, and the mortals hurriedly looked up.

But I saw two immortals descending from the sky, standing on the top of the temple, looking down on the world. I saw a fairy, with a clear face, white hair, white eyebrows, white beard, wearing a golden crown, wearing a yellow robe, wearing gossip on his chest, holding a fairy fan in his left hand and a handful of jade dust in his right hand. Another immortal, with a short figure, has a large sarcoma on his head, white eyebrows and white beards are connected together, hanging down on his chest, wearing a scarlet robe, holding a big fairy peach in his left hand, and holding a cloud-like cane in his right hand, and a wine jug hanging from the crutch.

I saw the thin fairy in the yellow robe, and said loudly: "Nanhua Zhenjun, what is the will to summon the little immortal?"

Emperor Jiajing knelt on the ground, straightened his waist, and said, "I am dedicated to cultivating the truth, but I have never known the truth of the avenue. Please instruct the maze. ”

The immortal said: "You are already an immortal, why ask for it again?"

"When will I return to the Immortal Class?"

The immortal said: "Nanhua Zhenjun, you should enjoy the honor of the world for ninety years, and then you will naturally soar." ”

"May I ask the Immortal Elder Law Number?"

The immortal said: "I am the old gentleman of Taishang." ”

Taishang Laojun is the honor of all saints, the ancestor of Taoism, and often descends to the worlds, preaching and helping people, and promoting Taoism.

Another fat immortal said: "I am an Antarctic immortal." ”

Antarctic immortals, in charge of life and misfortune in the world.

Emperor Jiajing was about to ask about the way of cultivation, only to hear the sound of "ah", Taishang Laojun fell, rolled down from the top of the hall, fell straight to the ground along the corner of the hall, "snapped", and lay still. Emperor Jiajing didn't know what the immortals meant? After waiting for a while, the immortals were still lying still, so they had to lead their ministers to step forward, and when they got closer, they saw that Taishang Laojun had fallen to the point that his head was bleeding, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his eyes were closed.

Lying motionless on the ground is the fifty-second generation grandson of Zhang Daoling, who knows the heavens and the earth, prays for rain and rain, can pinch and calculate, and can do everything.

The Antarctic Immortal Weng flew down from the top of the temple, knelt in the dust, prostrated himself on the ground, and said, "Capital crime!"

The emperor said, "What is the crime?"

The Antarctic Immortal Weng is Kong Zhaozi, he said: "Brother Zhang's master leaked the immortal machine, offended the Jade Emperor, and I hope that the emperor will forgive you!"

The emperor was annoyed, and with a "hum", he turned around and left. Kuteruko still can't kneel on the ground.

Emperor Jiajing walked forward angrily.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......" Yan Song followed step by step.

"What's the matter?"

Yan Song followed the emperor step by step, took out a fold from his sleeve, and said, "This is the fold handed over by Governor Hu Shangcao." As soon as Hu Shangcao entered the capital, he wrote this recital, and asked someone to send it up, and he was always pressed by Yan Song, put it in his sleeve, and waited for the right opportunity to present it to the emperor, and today he took it out when the emperor was annoyed.

"Bring it. ”

Yan Song handed over the recital, the emperor opened it and read a few lines, and said impatiently: "The minister's impeachment of him is full of cases, and the evidence is ironclad, and he is still arguing, which is really unreasonable!"

The emperor was even more annoyed, fell down, turned his head and left, until he walked into the hall of immortals, and sat alone in the hall sulking.

Jin Yiwei got the inside information, in the middle of the night, the two captains walked into the prison, Hu Shangcao was still lying on the ground, the two captains did not speak, raised the wooden stick, you hit a stick, I hit a stick, I hit a stick, you hit a stick, a random beating, Hu Shangcao fainted.

After a while, Hu Shangcao woke up again and snorted. The two lieutenants are angry and have their lungs blown up at this time, okay, it took you half a day's strength, you are still alive! Raise the wooden stick, this one is a good fight, and the blood is splashed on the black walls on all sides. This time, Hu Shangcao didn't move, but it was really whimpering. Feast!

A generation of anti-Japanese heroes and dignified members of the imperial court died tragically in prison in this way! People are filled with indignation and tears.

Su Dongpo, a great literati of the Northern Song Dynasty, has a poem written well!

The snail horn is famous, the fly's head is small, and what are you busy with? Everything is predetermined, who is weak and who is strong! And while you are not old, let me go and be a little crazy. In a hundred years, Hun Sect was drunk, 36,000 fields.

Consider. Can be a little, sorrowful wind and rain, half of the interference, why bother, resist death to say short and long. Fortunately, the breeze and the moon are bright, and the moss is exhibited and the cloud curtain is high. Jiangnan is good, a thousand bells of wine, a song "Full Court Fang".

Leng Yuhu and Xu Wentao sat in the hotel and waited for a few days, waiting for the news that Hu Shangcao was beaten to death.

The Hu family also came in crying, saying that Xu Wentao was greedy for his 200,000 taels of silver, and dragged him to the yamen to complain.

Xu Wentao said: "You personally saw me give the silver to the empty Zhaozi, where am I greedy for this silver?"

"You are a partnership liar!"

"No matter, we only ask for you!"

Xu Wentao is afraid that he will make a big deal in the hotel, and he is also a wanted criminal, so I am afraid that he will not be able to get out of it at that time.

"There is a wrong, there is a debtor, I will take you to find a blank photo. ”

The group entangled Xu Wentao, came to Yangjing Lane together, knocked on the door knocker, opened the door, and an old man walked out.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Find a blank shot. ”

The old man said, "He's long gone." ”

"If you go to the Taoist, you can't go to the temple. We're here waiting for him to come back. ”

The old man shook his hand and said: "This can't be done, this is the outer residence of Lord Wang of the Criminal Department, if you want to make trouble here, we will go to the yamen to judge." ”

Xu Wentao said: "We only look for empty Zhaozi theory. ”

"He just rented a house here, and a few days ago, paid the rent and left. ”

Xu Wentao asked, "Where did he go?"

"How do I know that he's just a tenant. ”

There is no doubt about it now, Ku Zhaozi must be a liar. So, Xu Wentao took a group of people around to inquire about Zhang Tianshi and Kong Zhaozi.

For several days, there was no news.

The Hu family pestered Xu Wentao in shifts, day and night. Xu Wentao was also helpless, he was eager to help, but he didn't expect to fall into an unjust situation.

On this day, Xu Wentao took the Hu family again, relying on the relationship of an acquaintance, to find the home of an internal prisoner. This prisoner was one of the members of the Divine Assembly at the time. Only then did I find out that at the meeting to welcome the gods that day, Zhang Tianshi descended in the sky, the clouds were fluttering, the fragrance was strange, the performance was vivid, and he was free from a Taishang old gentleman who went down to earth.

Taishang Laojun had a dialogue with the current emperor, and he said that today's saint is the true monarch of Nanhua who has enjoyed the honor of peace for 90 years. Originally, everyone believed that it was the gods who borrowed him to descend to earth, and the emperor was also full of joy, not wanting him to suddenly fall from the top of the palace, and an upside-down onion fell to the ground, motionless, and his head was bleeding. The emperor felt that he had been fooled, and was very angry, so he sent someone to beat Zhang Tianshi to death, peeled off his skin alive, filled it with straw, and made a fur man, which fell under the eaves and swayed in the wind to pay tribute to the later immortals.

"What about the empty Zhaozi?" asked Xu Wentao.
