Chapter 41: Burning incense and fasting to ask for immortals
-- Group number 213933048
"Oh? Of course, Shi Xuan will not immediately express his stance on whether to help or not, especially since the other party is still from the Yu family, and he is still in a hurry to find evil spirits, there is not enough reason, ninety percent will choose to refuse.
Seeing Shi Xuan's attitude, Yu Kaishan knew that he couldn't say it clearly, and immediately said: "This is not our Yu family's business, it is a task handed over by the sect, but the other disciples sent by the sect have gone to inquire about the news everywhere because of the matter of the Medicine King Sect, and they can't find anyone for a while." ”
Shi Xuan took a sip of tea slightly: "Senior nephew, you should tell me what the matter is first, and it is better to weigh yourself to see if you have the ability to do it." ”
"It's not a difficult thing, there is a medium-sized country Chehuo country thousands of miles to the north, the son of their lord had a strange illness a few days ago, and after the sect learned the news, he planned to send someone to treat it. Yu Kaishan briefly introduced the task.
"Why don't you ask for Medicine King Sect?" The son of the lord of the country in the north of the Nanban Continent was sick, and he didn't go to ask for Medicine King Sect, and the Medicine King Sect didn't care, it was really strange! Shi Xuan naturally wanted to ask for an understanding.
Yu Kaishan smiled slightly: "This matter has something to do with the way the Medicine King Sect manages the hundreds of countries under its control. Because the Medicine King Sect is famous for its medicine, it attaches great importance to the resources of the spirit grass, so it adopts an attitude of isolation from the immortals to the ordinary people, so that the people do not want to cultivate the immortals and seek the Tao, and waste the little spirit grass. ”
Shi Xuan didn't know much about this, the only thing he knew was that the way the Medicine King Sect recruited disciples was very different from that of the Penglai Sect, they ordered the lords of various countries to select high-quality children to send to the mountain in the name of Changbai Immortal Mountain, if there were foreign cultivators who wanted to join the sect, they could go to Changbai Immortal Mountain at any time to try, as long as they passed the assessment, they could get started.
In addition, the Medicine King Sect also forbade loose cultivators to preach in the countries they controlled. And because the Nanban Continent is very suitable for the growth of medicinal materials, and those countries have a large number of medicinal materials and low-level spiritual grasses, so the Medicine King Sect built a Taoist temple in each country, and sent a disciple to be responsible for purchasing medicinal materials and spiritual grass, as well as assisting the country lord to select children with excellent qualifications to enter the mountain gate. Hehe, counting it, the Medicine King Sect has the most disciples among all the sects, and it is also the most mixed. Yu Kaishan saw that Shi Xuan didn't know much about it, so he explained further,
"Oh, then the dozens of countries and ports along this coast were specially opened by the Medicine King Sect?" Shi Xuan saw no less than the number of scattered cultivators in the Tide Workshop in Pingbo City.
Yu Kaishan nodded and said: "Most of them are, but the Medicine King Sect can only control about half of the northern part of the Nanban Continent, and the remaining half is in the hands of the descendants of the Ancient Hundred Clans and more than a dozen medium sects, and the way they manage it is similar to that of overseas." ”
Shi Xuan was puzzled: "The Medicine King Sect will let them control these territories?"
"The current scale of the Medicine King Sect is very bloated, and if it expands further, it will seem that the gains outweigh the losses. In addition, the attitude of these ancient tribes and middle sects is very deferential, and every year a large amount of filial piety will be sent to Changbai Immortal Mountain, and the Medicine King Sect will also push the boat with the water, turning a blind eye. Hehe, but during this period of time, those ancient clans and medium sects were surging in private. Yu Kaishan sneered.
Shi Xuan turned back to the original topic: "In the country of camels, at least the lord of the country knows about the Medicine King Sect, how can he not find someone to treat his own children." ”
Yu Kaishan shook his head and said: "No, no, no, except for those who have a close relationship with the Medicine King Sect, or those who came out of the Medicine King Sect, the rest of the country masters only know that there are old immortals on Changbai Immortal Mountain who want to find some highly qualified disciples in their own country, plus some disciples return to China to pick up their families after completing their studies, so they are convinced." ”
"What about the disciple of the Medicine King Sect who is in charge of the Che Camel Country?"
"I was taken away. The Medicine King Sect blocked the sky and roads everywhere to arrest someone, so it naturally seemed that there were not enough people, so they took the responsible disciples from those countries that were not very important. And when the son of the lord of the kingdom was sick, no one cared about him. Yu Kaishan finally explained the antecedents clearly.
Shi Xuan thought for a while and said: "This camel country, the poor road is quite a good way, but what explanation does the sect have for this task?" Although he has the Yin and Yang two gas cylinders and ** flags in his hand, most of the diseases are not a problem, but he also said that it is a strange disease, and he doesn't even know the cause, and he doesn't have the confidence to pack the ticket.
Yu Kaishan was very happy when he saw Shi Xuan agreeing to come down: "My nephew originally planned to go by myself if there was no more senior brother, but I couldn't rest assured that I would come here, for fear that important news would come back, and now I have you next, thank God." Then he continued: "As for the strange disease, Uncle Shi doesn't have to worry, my nephew has already investigated it, but he just fell for the Gu worm, there is a package of blue blood grass here, which can lure the Gu worm out, I believe that it will not be a problem to clean up the Gu worm with Uncle Shi's strength." ”
"Yes. What else does the poor Dao need to do?" Shi Xuan took the Blue Blood Grass, thinking in his heart, it seems that the sect still attaches great importance to this task, and all kinds of preparations are very thorough, I don't know what purpose I want to achieve, in addition to curing the disease, what else do I need to do?
Yu Kaishan hurriedly said: "In fact, the meaning of the sect is to simply cure the disease, and then leave it alone for the time being, it can be regarded as an idle move." If the Hou Yao Wang Sect is fine, naturally everything will be suspended, if something happens and the strength is greatly damaged, then the Che Huan Country is a hole for the sect to reach into the Nanban Continent. ”
Shi Xuan thought of the sect's intentions, but when he heard Yu Kaishan's confirmation, he was still a little embarrassed, the timing of the prince's illness was too coincidental, could it be the black hand of the sect itself.
Seeming to sense Shi Xuan's question, Yu Kaishan smiled bitterly: "I also had this question at the time, and later found out that it should be the Gu God Sect who doesn't know which sect is under the hands, Uncle Shi has arrived in the Che Camel Country, if you find any clues, please report one or two, and take a look, this time the matter of the Medicine King Sect, whether the three Gu God Sects are also involved, otherwise how can they make waves at this time." ”
The Gu God Sect is in the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountain, but its strength is also strong, there are two Jindan Grandmasters, and the higher-level Shi Xuan doesn't know, so Shi Xuan can only answer: "Do your best, and see if the matter of the Che Camel Country is accidental." "As for tracking down the truth or something, Shi Xuan doesn't dare to act rashly, the other party is not a nameless small sect, he has enough strength to put himself to death, he still follows the will of the sect, just treat the disease.
Seeing that the matter was explained, Shi Xuan got up to say goodbye, and Yu Kaishan suddenly said: "Because I occasionally receive feedback from the Medicine King Sect, such as the pill that prolongs life for twenty years, and the pill that removes all diseases, these lords of the country all believe that there are immortals, and under their infection, the whole country has a very strong atmosphere of worship. Uncle Shi is here, please show more means, and make it look like a real immortal. ”
Shi Xuan understood what he meant, and nodded with a smile: "Poor Dao has this intention. I also ask Master Yu and nephew to prepare some things. ”
............
In the country of camels.
After the lord of the kingdom Yuro woke up from the dream, he sat up suddenly, his eyes looked straight at the golden gauze tent in front of him, and the princess Tana on the pillow was awakened by his movement, her hair was scattered, her bare breasts were bare, and she asked suspiciously: "Lord, what's wrong with you?"
Yuro did not seem to fully wake up, and replied in an ethereal voice: "I dreamed of a fairy, and he said that he could heal the child Yuyo. ”
Tana said with a sad expression: "Lord, you are too worried about Youyo to have such a dream, you must know that even those old immortals of Changbai Immortal Mountain have not responded. ”
"But I remember everything in my dream clearly, even the appearance of the fairy, he was a man in his twenties, wearing a white robe, and he told me that he lived in Penglai, an overseas immortal mountain, and because I was very pious, he responded to my prayers. Yuro turned to the side, grabbed Tana's shoulders, and said excitedly.
Tana was also very faithful, and when she heard what Yuro said had a nose and eyes, she naturally became excited: "Is it true, Lord of the Kingdom, is it really a fairy? However, after the excitement, she still had some doubts, and said hesitantly: "Could it be some kind of evil devil who is making trouble?"
Yu Luo frowned and thought for a while: "It shouldn't be some evil demon outer way, alas, at this time, even if it is an evil demon outer way, you can only try it first, the old immortals of Changbai Immortal Mountain heard that they were robbed, and they won't care about us in a short time." ”
After saying this, Yuro got out of bed naked, and walked up and down the palace decorated with many gold and precious stones, and stood still for a while: "But the fairy finally said that if we want to invite him here, we must show our sincerity." How do we show our sincerity? Gold, gemstones, herbs?"
Tana thought for a moment before saying, "Since you say that you are an immortal, you will definitely not ask for these things, I think sincerity should refer to our etiquette." ”
I immediately burned incense and fasted for seven days, and then went up to the prayer platform to ask for permission, well, and all the ministers together, no, I had to let the people of the whole city ask for permission around the prayer platform. Yuro immediately made up his mind.
"But what is the object of the petition?" said Tana, pointing out a slight omission on the part of the lord.
Yu Luo rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "This is easy to do." So he went to the other end of the dormitory, took out a piece of the most precious white jade paper, spread it on the desk, and then took up the pen and began to sketch it. It is also strange to say that Yu Luo, the lord of this camel country, is just a vassal and elegantly painted, in fact, the painting skills are very poor, but at this time, if there is divine help, this portrait will be painted in less than a quarter of an hour, and the painting is lifelike, and the characters on the painting are immortals at a glance, floating out of the dust.
"Look, princess, this is the fairy teaching me!" Yu Luo looked at this painting and laughed, his only son's surname was saved, and he could see the legendary immortal, how could he not make him feel comfortable.
The next day.
Yuro walked out of the hot spring sprinkled with white petals, and the maid still wiped his body clean and put on a simple white robe.
Then he walked barefoot to the main hall, lit three sticks of sandalwood, bowed respectfully to the portrait hanging on the temple, and then erected it in front of the portrait, and knelt on the ground reverently, with only a glass of water and a steamed bun in front of him.
