Chapter 20: Tongue War
It is not surprising that the king of Zhou did not come to court early, so when Zhu Sheng announced the news that the king of Zhou would not go to court today, it did not make the civil and military officials feel strange.
And at this time, someone suddenly came to report. It is said that there is a Taoist outside the Nine Palaces, who claims to be the Grand Master of Xuandu of Shouyang Mountain, and has something to see the king.
Several times in a row, the Taoist chief asked to see the king, and the king would treat him with courtesy. Therefore, Zhu Sheng naturally did not dare to make decisions on his own, and hurriedly returned to the harem to report to the king.
When the King learned that the person who came was actually the Grand Master of Xuandu of Shouyang Mountain, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart.
So without saying a word, he stood up and said to Zhu Sheng, and let the Xuandu Grand Master go to the Longde Palace. The Lone King wants to personally meet the Grand Master of Xuandu in the Longde Palace.
......
"Sure enough, it's a faint king, and he still hasn't seen him in the early days. How can such a person govern the world well? I really don't know what the old man asked me to do here. Outside the Nine Palaces, the Grand Master of Xuandu muttered to himself in his heart.
At this time, Zhu Sheng stepped out of the Nine Rooms. Respectfully said to the Xuandu Grand Master: "Dao Chief, the king is waiting in the Longde Palace. ”
After finishing speaking, he led the way to take the Xuandu Grand Master to the Longde Palace. When the Grand Master of Xuandu came to the Longde Palace, the King of Xuan was waiting outside the Longde Palace.
Seeing the Xuandu Archmage coming over, he hurriedly took three steps and two steps to meet him. And said respectfully: "I don't know if the Xuandu Grand Master has arrived, and the Lone King has lost his distance." ”
This performance of the King of Xuan surprised the Grand Master of Xuandu. In his heart, he thought that the king should sit in the hall of Longde coldly. But I never expected that people would come out to greet them in person.
So naturally, he couldn't give people a face, and hurriedly made a joke and said: "Poor Dao came recklessly, and asked the king not to be surprised." ”
"What the Taoist said, even if the Lone King invites him, he can't invite you, the great sage. How can you meet the monster?" At the same time, King Xuan ordered Zhu Sheng to withdraw all the eunuchs and palace maids from the Longde Palace.
In the huge Longde Palace, there are only two people, King Xuan and Grand Master Xuandu. It seems that the whole hall is extremely empty.
"Poor Dao was ordered to go down the mountain this time, and he came to see the king's ......" At this point, the Xuandu Grand Master didn't know what to say.
Seeing the expression of the Xuandu Grand Master who wanted to speak and stopped, the King of Xuan said directly: "Since the Taoist Master is here for the Lone King, I don't know what it is for?"
After thinking about it, the Grand Master of Quandu said: "Master respected his old man and calculated that Poor Dao had an opportunity in this Song City, so Poor Dao came to see the king. ”
"If King Gu didn't guess wrong, what the Taiqing Sage should have said should be the relationship between the master and apprentice of the Daoist, right?" said King Xuandu, looking at the Grand Master of Xuandu.
The Xuandu Archmage was stunned by what the King of Xuan said, and couldn't help but think to himself: "How did he know about this?"
And at this time, the appearance of the king of Xuan actually changed. Soon, another face appeared in front of the Xuandu Archmage.
"Dao Chief, if the Lone King is not mistaken, yesterday the Dao Chief personally promised the Lone King that if there is a fate to see you again, he will accept the Lone King as an apprentice. ”
At this time, the Xuandu Grand Master was completely stunned. I didn't expect this king to be the one who wanted to worship himself as a teacher yesterday.
Originally, it was just a pretext at the time, after all, this vast sea of people wanted to see each other again, it was really like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But things turned out to be so coincidental, and they met again just after a day of separation. This was indeed beyond the expectations of the Xuandu Grand Master.
After thinking for a while, the Xuandu Grand Master said: "I didn't expect that the poor Dao would have a master-apprentice relationship with the king, but I don't know if the king is willing to give up this glory and wealth and go to Shouyang Mountain with the poor Dao to concentrate on cultivation?"
Hearing the words of the Grand Master of Xuandu, King Xuan secretly complained in his heart: "This reason is not bad, it seems that this is because Cheng Xin does not want to accept the Lonely King as an apprentice." ”
Seeing the thoughtful expression of the King of Xuandu, the Xuandu Archmage sighed and said, "It seems that the fate of you and me as a master and apprentice has not yet arrived, and the king still can't give up these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers." ”
The King shook his head and said, "The Dao Chief's words are wrong, it's not that the Lone King doesn't want to give up these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. It's that the lone king can't give up the people of the world for his own selfishness. ”
"If that's the case, what can even be the Lone King Cultivation Daluo Golden Immortal. Recalling that the people of the Lone King suffered from the dire situation, the Lone King was afraid that he would eventually fall into the devil's path. ”
"No matter what the reason is, the result is that the relationship between poor Dao and the king has not yet arrived. One day, when the king can give up this red dust thing, the poor Dao will naturally come to the king to go to Shouyang Mountain to practice. After the Xuandu Archmage finished speaking, he prepared to take his leave and leave.
But the King of Xuan smiled and stopped the Xuandu Archmage. And said to the Grand Master of Xuandu: "If the Dao Chief's words today are said from the mouth of the sect or the sect of exposition, the Lone King will naturally be speechless. ”
"But Dao Chief, you are different, you are a great disciple of the Human Sect. The responsibility is to educate the human race, not to mention that the lone king is still the co-master of the human race?"
At this time, the Xuandu Grand Master was speechless. After all, what the king said was right, it was his responsibility to educate the human race.
So after thinking about it, he said: "Although the king's words are reasonable, but the Heavenly Dao restricts the emperor from cultivating immortals, and the poor Dao is also powerless. ”
"Didn't the Taoist master forget, back then, the eldest disciple of the Sect Guangchengzi, but he once accepted the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor as a disciple. It is precisely because of the meritorious service of educating the human race that he received merit from heaven and promoted him to the head of the twelve golden immortals. ”
"Today, the Taiqing Sage asked the Dao Master to go down the mountain, presumably for the Dao Master to get this opportunity, right?" said to the Xuandu Grand Master with a smile.
When the Grand Master of Xuandu heard the words of the King of Xuandu, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "How did he know so much? ”
Seeing the Xuandu Archmage frowning, the King of Xuan stood up directly and saluted the Xuandu Archmage. And he said, "Disciple, please meet my teacher." ”
The Grand Master of Xuandu subconsciously stretched out his hands and helped the King of Xuan up. But before he could say anything, a thunderclap sounded in the sky.
It turned out that Heavenly Dao had a sense and recognized the identity of the Xuandu Grand Master as the emperor of the world. This couldn't help but catch the Xuandu Grand Master off guard.
"Xuandu, everything is dictated by the way of heaven. Going with the flow is what my generation should do. "The voice of Taiqing Laozi sounded in the ears of the Xuandu Archmage.
At the same time, the face of the Yuan Shi Tianzun of the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain became very ugly. After a sigh, he said, "Senior brother, what do you mean by this?"
And the Tongtian Sect Master in the Biyou Palace on Jinao Island had a long-lost smile on his face. And bowed in the direction of the Eight Views Palace of Shouyang Mountain.
Next to the Eight Treasures Merit Pond of Lingshan, the quasi-Daoist said to the Daoist: "Senior brother, the celestial phenomena have changed, I should go to the East as soon as possible." ”
