"Ahh

Seeing such a spectacle, everyone present was stunned. Emperor Zhizheng was ecstatic, pointed to the old man on the bed, and said excitedly: "Xu Daoyou, you ...... You still say that you don't understand the method of immortality, isn't this person immortal?"

"Alas!" Xu Mo sighed, "Your Majesty, you are taking a closer look." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the old man, "Look at the speed at which he ages." ”

Emperor Zhizheng approached, his eyes widened, and he carefully looked at the old man, looking at the other party's face. The old man was only in his twenties after his rejuvenation, but now he was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it didn't take long for him to feel as if he was several years old. At this rate, it will take about a day to return to its original state.

Emperor Zhizheng was stunned for a moment, his expression extremely disappointed, "This ...... Xu Daoyou, how can this be?"

Xu Mo said: "This is what I just said, the first step is easy to do, but if you want to maintain it for a long time, it will be difficult." When a person gets old, the mechanism of the body in all aspects is not good, and once it tries to maintain, it will soon be beaten into the original form. ”

Emperor Zhizheng pondered for a moment, and then asked: "In this case, how long can it last after rejuvenation?"

Xu Mo himself couldn't say clearly, so he estimated, "It's about a day, it can't be longer." ”

Emperor Zhizheng glanced at Xu Mo, bowed his head and said nothing, since it can last for a day, it is not hopeless, just for immortality, do you have to take this Xu Daoyou with you every day? Could it be that in order to live forever, I have to spend half a day every day to let the other party perform a spell? That would be too boring. But is there no other way?

But I could hear Emperor Zhizheng say: "Fellow Daoist, is there no other way?"

Xu Mo said regretfully: "Unless you can fix the other party's physical state at the time when you have just rejuvenated, otherwise, I'm afraid there is really no other way." The act just now almost exhausted the energy of the whole body, and it will take at least a few days of rest to recover. ”

The real scene of the last paragraph was not as serious as Xu Mo said, although he was tired, take a rest. Or get some sleep. I'm sure I'll be able to recover. The reason why I said this was not because I guessed Emperor Zhizheng's thoughts, but mainly because I was worried that the other party would have such thoughts and say it in advance. Just to dispel his thoughts.

Emperor Zhizheng was even more disappointed. "Is there really no way to live forever?"

None of the thousands of people at the scene dared to speak. Concentrate on listening to the two people's answers.

Emperor Zhizheng swept his gaze towards the crowd, "Rank, although Xu Daoyou has the method of immortality. It's just that this method of immortality is incomplete, who can complete this method of immortality? ”

After these words were spoken, many people began to whisper, but still no one stood up to speak. Emperor Zhizheng was not disappointed, and said again: "Rank, this old man is rejuvenated by Xu Daoyou, but it can only last for one day, and after one day, it will return to its original appearance, who can stop him? Everyone present is a master of Taoism, is there no one who can stop him from aging?"

When he said this, no one answered for a long time.

Emperor Zhizheng sighed, and his disappointment overflowed with color.

At this moment, a man suddenly heard a humanitarian voice: "Your Majesty! ”

Emperor Zhizheng was shocked when he heard this, his eyes swept towards the crowd, and he said excitedly: "Which Taoist friend is talking? ”

When Xu Modan heard this voice, he already knew who it was. The voice was clearly Tu Shan's speech. Turning his head to look, he saw Tu Shan's holding a gourd, standing out of the crowd, walking to the middle of the field, putting the gourd aside, kneeling down and kowtowing, "Tu Shan's clan knocks on Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Zhizheng couldn't tell whether the other party was a human or a phantom fox, and said in surprise: "Fellow Daoists, please get up quickly." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Tu Shan stood up.

"Your Majesty!" Lanling Daoist stood up from the crowd and said sharply: "Your Majesty, beware, this old man is not a human, but a fox, mixed into the Ten Thousand Laws Conference, I am afraid that there are other different intentions." I beg your Majesty to quickly order the guards to arrest them. ”

When Emperor Zhizheng heard that the other party was a fox, he couldn't help but be startled, and couldn't help but take a step back and stare at the Tu Shan clan, "What the national teacher said is true?

Tu Shan's clan prostrate on the ground and kowtowed deeply, "Your Majesty, what the national teacher said is good, the grass folk Tu Shan clan is indeed a phantom fox, capable of transforming into a human form." But the grass people's hearts are loyal and patriotic, and they have no intention of harming His Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty!" Lanling Daoist bowed, and then pointed at Xu Mo, "This Wanfa Conference, a total of two foxes have mixed in, and the minister was going to catch them, but this Xu Daoyou is bent on defending and deliberately stopping it, I don't know what his intentions are?"

"There are two?" Emperor Zhizheng was startled, and then looked into the crowd, "Where is the other one?"

Caidie girl also walked out of the crowd, walked to Tu Shan's side, knelt down and kowtowed, "The folk girl Caidie has seen Your Majesty." ”

Both of them brought hats, and Emperor Zhizheng was surprised to hear that her voice was a woman.

But I heard Tu Shan's loud voice: "Your Majesty, although the grass people are aliens, they are also under the rule of Your Majesty, and they are governed by Your Majesty." His Majesty wants to kill the grass people, and the grass people bow down and wait for death. ”

When Emperor Zhizheng heard this, his heart was slightly calm, as the king of a country, he was in a high position, and his bearing was extraordinary. He waved his hand at the moment and said with a smile: "The national teacher doesn't need to say much, Sage Yun: Yidi China is China's, and the Tu Shan clan has a heart for goodness, so why not listen to what he has to say?"

"Yes. Lanling Daoist replied unwillingly and retreated.

Emperor Zhizheng turned to Tu Shan, "Tu Shan, you said that you have a way to stop aging. Why don't you say it?"

Tu Shan said: "Your Majesty Xie does not look at each other as different. As he spoke, he picked up the gourd beside him, "The grass people's method of preventing aging is all in this gourd." ”

Emperor Zhizheng let out an 'oh', and his eyes stared at Tu Shan's gourd. Qi said: "What is in this gourd?"

Tu Shan said: "Your Majesty, what is contained in this gourd is the Fountain of Youth, after taking it, you can stay young forever and your face will not be old." ”

Emperor Zhizheng was taken aback and said in surprise: "There is still such a strange thing?"

Tu Shan hurriedly said: "The spring water of this gourd immortal spring, the grass people also got it unintentionally, and brought it to the Wanfa Conference, which is dedicated to Your Majesty. ”

"Present it. Emperor Zhizheng was even more happy. Then he commanded to go down.

Tu Shan was still kneeling on the ground. Lifting the gourd above the top, a guard stepped forward, took the gourd, and presented it to Emperor Zheng.

Emperor Zhizheng took it in his hand. Shake the gourd gently a few times. There was a crisp sound of water coming from the gourd. The fountain of immortality in this gourd. It has long been left by the Tu Shan clan, and at this time, it is only a small half of it dedicated to Emperor Zhizheng. Otherwise, Emperor Zhizheng suddenly took the gourd, and he had to be shocked by its weight, Rao was so, and he also felt quite heavy.

Emperor Zhizheng pulled the stopper, looked into the gourd, it was night, the gourd was pitch black, nothing was seen, he shook the gourd again, and the gourd still made a crisp sound of water.

"Bring me a cup. Emperor Zhizheng commanded, and soon a guard sent a cup. Emperor Zhizheng poured a glass of water into the cup with his own hands, put down the gourd, and took the water cup to his mouth.

"Your Majesty, no. Lanling Daoist hurriedly reminded.

Emperor Zhizheng didn't mean to drink water, just put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, he didn't smell anything, but felt the coolness of the Fountain of Youth, and then put the cup down and exclaimed: "It's so cool!"

Turning to Tu Shan's again, "Tu Shan's clan, how do you use the spring water of the Fountain of Youth?"

Tu Shan said: "Go back to Your Majesty, just drink it directly." ”

Emperor Zhizheng instructed the guards, "Give this cup of water to the old man to drink." ”

One of the guards took the cup and brought it to the old man, who reached out and took it, and drank it all.

This is the spring water of the Fountain of Youth, which has a miraculous effect, and after the old man drank it, the aging immediately stopped. Emperor Zhizheng exclaimed loudly, "It's really good water! It's a fountain of immortality!" Tu Shan, your fountain of immortality may make people immortal?"

Tu Shan shook his head, "Back to Your Majesty, the spring water of the Fountain of Immortality can only make people immortal, not immortal." ”

This answer is reasonable, Emperor Zhizheng has already guessed some, but he still feels a little regretful, and sighs: "It's a pity that such a divine spring." ”

Then he turned to Xu Mo and asked again: "Xu Daoyou, in your opinion, the spring water of this Fountain of Immortality combined with the method of Daoyou may make people immortal?"

"This ......" This possibility Xu Mo hadn't thought about for the time being, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this. After thinking about it, he extended the spiritual consciousness of his sixth sense to the old man, and when he sensed it carefully, he couldn't help but be taken aback. The old man did not gain immortality because of this, and the speed at which the internal mechanism in his body returned to its original state slowed down strangely. Xu Mo sensed this result, and his whole body was immediately shocked.

"Xu Daoyou, how do you feel?" Emperor Zhizheng sensed his abnormality and hurriedly asked.

Xu Mo said: "Your Majesty, after this old man takes the Fountain of Youth, his face will not change again. As for the physical state. Speaking of this, he paused before continuing: "His physical state seems to be frozen, although he is still recovering to his original state, the speed of recovery is much slower. ”

"It's slowing down?" Emperor Zhizheng was ecstatic when he heard this, "Fellow Daoist, since it has slowed down, doesn't that mean that you are expected to not die?"

Xu Mo shook his head, "Theoretically, this is indeed the case, according to the speed at which his physical state returns to its original state, it will be at least a few decades before he wants to return to the state before his rejuvenation." During this time, it depends on the maintenance of the Fountain of Youth, and after a few decades, it will return to its original state, and it is difficult to say whether the Fountain of Youthfulness will work. ”

Emperor Zhizheng was slightly depressed, and then remembered something, and his spirit perked up, "Even if you can't live forever, it's good to be able to prolong your life for decades." Xu Daoyou, I promised a long time ago that no matter who proposed the method of immortality, I would crown him as the Subtle and Holy True Monarch of Tongxuan. Although the method of immortality of Daoyou is incomplete, it finally makes people see the hope of immortality. When I returned, I informed the six ministries and agreed on a reward. After the Taoist friend went back, he just waited with relief. ”

This is a little vague, Emperor Zhizheng couldn't make up his mind for a while, whether to seal the other party's subtle and holy true monarch, after all, the method of immortality is incomplete, it is too regrettable. Besides, the old man did not continue to age, just the appearance, the physical state or something. It's just that Xu Mo said it himself, whether he can believe it or not, is still in doubt, so he plans to go back and observe for a while. If it is true as the other party said, it is not too late to reward again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Fortunately, Xu Mo didn't care much about the reward in this painting, and thanked him immediately.

Emperor Zhizheng turned to the Tu Shan clan, "Tu Shan clan, you have meritorious service to the Fountain of Immortality, if you have any requirements, just put it forward." ”

Tu Shan knelt down and kowtowed again. "Your Majesty. The minister should not give a reward, but ask His Majesty for something. ”

Emperor Zhizheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Tu Shan said: "Although my Phantom Fox clan is one category, it has been under the rule of His Majesty for a long time. Morning service king. They also live like ordinary people. It's just that ordinary people regard my Phantom Fox clan as an outlier. is incompatible, once encountered, it will be shouted and killed. The minister does not ask His Majesty for a reward. But I beg Your Majesty to treat my Phantom Fox clan equally and treat them as ordinary people. ”

"This ......" Emperor Zhizheng hesitated when he heard this, frowned and thought about it.

Tu Shan and the Colorful Butterfly Girl were prostrate on the ground.

Emperor Zhizheng thought for a long time, and then said: "With your dedication to the Fountain of Immortality, I should have promised this request, but I am afraid that you will mix in with ordinary people and frighten the people." Tu Shan clan, let me ask you, what is the difference between your Phantom Fox clan and ordinary people?"

Tu Shan replied: "Back to Your Majesty, my Phantom Fox clan was born with the art of transfiguration, if it is transformed into an adult, except for a slight difference in appearance, there will be no difference. ”

Emperor Zhizheng said: "You take off your hat, raise your head, and let me see what the difference is." ”

"Yes!" Tu Shan and Caidie Girl answered, took off their hats together, and raised their heads.

Emperor Zhizheng carefully examined the appearance of the two, and how to compare the others, and finally nodded, "Although there is a difference, it is not big." As the king of a country, there are barbarians in the territory, and relatively speaking, compared with the people in the country, the difference in appearance is not necessarily smaller than yours. ”

Speaking of this, he nodded again and asked, "How long can you maintain your human body?"

Tu Shan said: "Back to Your Majesty, the art of transfiguration is the innate instinct of the Phantom Fox Clan, so there is no time limit, and it can always be maintained like this." ”

Emperor Zhizheng said: "This is much easier." Tu Shan clan, I allow you Phantom Fox Clan to integrate into the lives of ordinary people, but there must be some constraints. ”

Tu Shan's family was ecstatic when they heard this, and when they looked at each other with the colorful butterfly girl, they could see the joy on each other's faces that could not be concealed, and they kowtowed together, shouting: "Your Majesty Shengming!

Xu Mo listened to it from the sidelines, and couldn't help but let them rejoice.

But I can hear Emperor Zhengzhi say: "I allow you Phantom Fox Clan to integrate into the lives of ordinary people, and treat ordinary people equally, but I also have to make rules, the first point, after your Phantom Fox clan integrates into the lives of ordinary people, you must not transform into your original form in front of people, once you disturb others, you will not be spared." The second point is that since it is treated the same as ordinary people, it is also the same as ordinary people, and it is necessary to go to the yamen to register the household registration, and the remarks are the Phantom Fox family, farming and business, and also need to pay taxes and food. The third point is that if you are intermarrying with ordinary people, before marrying, you need to explain the identity of the Phantom Fox family, if both parties are still willing, you can get married, otherwise it will be regarded as a fraudulent marriage. Fourth, you must obey the laws of your own country, and if you break the law, you will be punished like ordinary people. As for the other aspects, I can't think of them for a while, and the six cabinet ministries will discuss and decide. Since I regard you as ordinary people, I will naturally treat them as ordinary people, and I will be biased, so I don't need to be careful. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tu Shan and Caidie Girl shouted long live again.

Emperor Zhizheng said: "The will will be issued in a few days, so you can wait with relief." Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice, "The Tu Shan clan has made a meritorious contribution to the Fountain of Immortality, rewarded 10,000 taels of silver, sealed the Duke of Yishan, equivalent to the earl, and received a fortune." Give a thousand hectares of fertile land and a mansion. Cai Die accompanied him to Beijing and was rewarded with two thousand taels of silver. ”

After finishing speaking, he smiled and said, "I have a clear distinction between public and private, and I will not ignore your reward." However, although Tu Shan's dedication to the Fountain of Immortality has merit, you have no unique views on the road to immortality, so I can't give you a waist card to walk in the inner palace, you need to be clear. ”

Tu Shan and Caidie Girl were overjoyed and kowtowed again, "Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"

Emperor Zhizheng walked to the throne, sat down again, glanced around everyone, and said loudly: "The Ten Thousand Laws Conference, this is the end." At the end of the day, the ranks will disperse on their own. ”

With the sound of Emperor Zhizheng, the drums sounded in unison. Emperor Zhizheng stepped down from the throne, and when he passed by Xu Mo's side, he smiled and nodded to him, and then led everyone away.

When he returned to the palace, he immediately ordered, "Zhongguan, issue my decree, and after the dissolution of the dynasty tomorrow morning, convene the cabinet and the six Shangshu to discuss the matter." ”

The lieutenant responded, and went to handle it himself.

As soon as Emperor Zhizheng left, countless people surrounded Xu Mo, and said together: "Congratulations! Congratulations! Xu Daoyou proposed the method of immortality, this subtle and subtle name of the Holy True Monarch, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape." ”

Another humanitarian: "Xu Daoyou has become the head of the world's Taoist sect, please take care of it in the future." ”

"It's easy to say!" Xu Mo responded with a smile a few times, and said: "The title of the Subtle and Holy True Monarch of Tongxuan has not yet been decided, everyone congratulates now, it is too early, beware of the truth." ”

The eldest son said with a smile: "Daoyou is popular right now, Your Majesty relies on Zhengsheng, who dares to talk more?"

Changqingzi also said: "Thanks to Xu Daoyou, otherwise Poor Dao and Senior Brother will be in trouble." ”

Xu Mo said: "The Taoist chief doesn't need to be polite, since they are friends, they should watch and help each other." ”

"Xu Gongzi. The girl called Xu Mo softly and pulled the corner of his clothes. Xu Mo turned his head to look and saw Tu Shan's clan standing not far away, winking at him.

"Missing!" Xu Mo arched his hand, came out of the crowd, walked towards Tu Shan's clan, and asked, "What happened?" (to be continued......)
