The Moon Pavilion on the mountain behind the palace, the scenery is still the same, it is still so beautiful, out of the dust.

The faint aroma of wine wafts out, adding to the beautiful scenery in front of you.

"Good wine!" A sound of praise came from the Moon Pavilion, and it was the old man Shui Hua who gave the praise.

Emperor Li Xun and the three of them gathered around a round table, and five bottles of wine were placed on the table.

Shui Hua held a glass of wine in his right hand at this time and sniffed it lightly in front of his nose, but he felt that the aroma was fragrant, and smelling it could make people feel refreshed and praised: "Good wine, I can't imagine that there is such a beautiful wine in the world." ”

The emperor smiled and said: "Coarse wine can enter the mouth of the immortals, it is really a glorious occasion." "The emperor saw Shui Hua casting a spell to save the prince yesterday, and he knew that Shui Hua was profound, and his admiration did not overflow.

Shui Hua chuckled and said: "Your Majesty is serious, the little old man is rough, but it makes Your Majesty laugh." The word immortal really doesn't dare to be used, His Majesty can just call the little old man Shui old man. ”

Seeing that he didn't like others to call him an "immortal", the emperor changed his words and said, "Mr. Shui is too modest." Since you like this wine so much, you might as well taste a few more glasses. ”

Shui Hua was no longer polite, and took a sip of the wine glass. He usually loves to drink, especially fine wine, and knows a lot about the brewing method of wine.

The emperor was even more impressed, and praised: "Mr. Shui is really an expert, just one sip, you can tell the brewing method of this wine is not far from ten." ”

Shui Hua smiled: "It's just a fur, but it makes Your Majesty laugh." ”.

The emperor sighed and said: "Although this wine tastes extremely beautiful, the fly in the ointment is indeed extremely difficult to brew. Our top brewing masters in the palace only make about ten bottles a year, oops." He suddenly thought of something, and took out a scroll from his sleeve, which was yellowed all over, and it seemed that it had been quite a few years.

Shui Hua was also stunned when he saw that the emperor took out a scroll.

The emperor continued: "Mr. Shui, this is the brewing method of 'Immortal Drunk', please take a look. As he spoke, he handed it over.

Shui Hua took it, opened it and looked at it, the front pages were also yellow, and the back pages were much newer than the previous ones. After a cursory glance, he realized that the recipe and brewing method were in the front, and the slightly new pages in the back were the tips of the brewing masters in the court. He carefully read the recipe and brewing method, clapped his hands and exclaimed: "It's really amazing, I can't imagine that there is such a brewing method in the world, high, really high!"

Seeing that Shui Hua liked it so much, the emperor said: "Mr. Shui is an expert, and he is willing to give Mr. the recipe and brewing method of 'fairy drunk'." He is a master, and he may have a better chance of making this wine. ”

Shui Hua didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly give him the brewing method of "immortal drunk". He loved wine as much as his life, and was happier to give him the method of brewing than to give him a thousand gold.

Shui Hua said: "Such a valuable gift, how can the little old man bear it."

The emperor said: "The sword is given to the hero, and only a master like Mr. Shui can match this ancient scroll." Such a thing, in our hands, loses its value. ”

Shui Hua was overjoyed and said: "In this way, the little old man is welcome." Then he put it away and put it in his sleeve.

The three of them drank in this Mochizuki Pavilion, and talked about the wonders of the world while drinking. Shuihua Dao is profound, travels all over the world, and has seen not many ordinary people, and the emperor who listened to it clapped his hands with Li Xun. The three of them drank until it was dark, and they all went straight back.

For several days in a row, the emperor and Li Xun held banquets every day to match the bloom. There is a feast in three days, and a feast in five days. Shui Hua wanted to leave several times, but was persuaded by the emperor to stay for a few days. Unconsciously, Shui Hua had been in the palace for seven days, and he sighed, he must no longer linger on the red dust of the world, and he must leave here today.

In the morning, the emperor personally came to invite Shui Hua to the banquet.

Shui Hua saw the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Lao'er has been playing here for seven or eight days, and now His Royal Highness the Prince's situation has stabilized a little, Xiao Lao'er has been idle for many years, and today I want to say goodbye to Your Majesty." ”

The emperor also wanted to say something to keep it.

Shui Hua had already thought of what he was going to say, and shook his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you must stay together, the little old man has made up his mind." ”

Seeing that Shui Hua insisted on leaving, the emperor no longer wanted to persuade him, so he said: "Mr. Shui, there is still a little matter for Mr. Shui to advise."

Shui Hua said: "Your Majesty, please speak, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

The emperor said: "Mr. Meng helped Yu'er suppress the evil spirit. The evil qi in Yu'er's physique needs the Dharma to be able to dissolve, dare to ask Mr. where to go to the high temple to learn this supreme Dharma, please Mr. Clearly. ”

Shui Hua glanced at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there is a temple called Lingyun Temple sixty miles away from here, and the abbot of the temple, Master Jueben, is my old friend." He doesn't like the red dust, here is a letter from me, and your majesty will take this letter. He will surely enlighten the prince when he thinks of my old friend. So saying, he handed the letter over.

The emperor was very happy when he heard this, and took the letter and put it in his sleeve without mentioning it.

Seeing that the emperor had accepted the letter, Shui Hua arched his hand to him and said, "Little Lao'er, I have taken my leave, Your Majesty, please cherish it." With a wave of his sleeve, a round pearl emitted a brilliant turquoise light, and he didn't know how he moved, and disappeared into the sky with a turquoise light.

The emperor looked at the blue sky and was stunned.

When night fell, the entire Wuyang City was hazy in the night, and the palace was indeed brightly lit.

In a room deep in the palace, the emperor stood by the window, silently looking at the black sky outside the window, looking preoccupied.

Gonggong Zheng said cautiously: "Your Majesty, General Li Xun asks to see you."

The emperor awoke from his contemplation, still silently staring at the night sky. After a long while, he said to Zheng Gonggong: "Announce him in."

Gong Zheng took the promise and went out.

After a while, Li Xun came in and saluted the emperor.

The emperor said indifferently: "Brother Xun, you are here, get up." ”

Li Xun said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Mr. Shui left today. ”

The emperor sighed and said: "Yes, Mr. Shui is a master, his Taoism is profound, Yu'er has been treated by him and has been much better now, but it's a pity that he is used to being idle and wild, and he doesn't want to stay here for a long time, I want to stay but I can't keep it." ”

Li Xun said: "The prince has his help, and it can be regarded as an auspicious person's own natural appearance." ”

The emperor was heavy in his heart at this time, and said: "Yes, Yu'er's physique is special, and the way of a narcissus can only be suppressed for a few years, but after a few years"

"By the way, the narcissus asked the prince to dissolve the Dharma from Buddhism, and his subordinates have found several temple monks"

"No need, before Mr. Shui left, he had already introduced me to a high monk, who was Master Jueben of Lingyun Temple sixty miles away."

"What?Lingyun Temple?Jueben?"

The emperor turned his head and looked at Li Xun with surprised eyes, "Could it be that Brother Xun has also heard of Lingyun Temple?"

Li Xun sighed and said: "The minister has also heard that Jueben is proficient in Buddhism, and teaching the prince is an excellent candidate, but this person doesn't like Hongchen, I'm afraid he won't."

The emperor understood what Li Xun wanted to say, and said: "Brother Xun, don't worry, Mr. Shui and Master Jueben are old friends, he is afraid that Jueben will stand by and arrange everything before leaving." ”

Li Xun said: "So that's the case, and my subordinates are relieved."

The emperor still looked up at the sky in the dark night, and after a pause, he suddenly said to Li Xun behind him: "Brother Xun, I want to be alone and quiet." ”

Li Xun said: "The subordinates retired."

At this moment, only the emperor was left alone, and he still looked at the sky, as if after Shui Hua left today, troubles kept coming to his heart. Later he pulled a bead out of his sleeve. The shape of this bead is exactly the same as the turquoise bead of the bloom, the difference is indeed the color is different, the bead of the bloom is green, and the one in the hands of the emperor is indeed the whole body of the earthy yellow, revealing a thick earth atmosphere.

The emperor gently held this bead, and still remembered the ancestral teaching: the descendants of the past generations must not practice the Tao, and they must not use this bead unless the life and death of the family is at a moment. The emperor looked at the bead helplessly, then retracted it into his sleeve, still looking up at the dark sky above.

There is a mountain called Lingyun Mountain 60 miles away from the Qingyang Imperial Palace, this mountain is clear and clear, it is very famous within a radius of ten miles, let it be famous and prosperous is indeed that there is a Lingyun Temple in this mountain, the abbot in the temple Jueben Master Buddhism is boundless, but he doesn't like the red dust, he only likes to participate in the Buddha and recite the scriptures.

There was a small monk sweeping the floor outside the door of Lingyun Temple, he only cared about sweeping the floor, and suddenly an old man's voice said: "Little master, help me pass the letter, I want to see the abbot of your temple, Master Jueben."

The little monk was taken aback, and fixed his eyes to see an old man standing five zhang away, dressed in gray and with white hair fluttering. Hearing him say that he wanted to see the abbot of the temple, he said: "The abbot of the temple has never seen anyone, so please go back." ”

The old man didn't care, so he said: "The little master passed a word to the abbot of Jueben for me, saying that the old man Shui Huate came to visit. ”

The little monk heard that it was the abbot's old man, so he went in to report.

At this time, Master Jueben was cultivating in the temple, and the little monk ran in and said to him: "Abbot, there is an old man named Shuihua outside the temple who said that he was your old friend and wanted to see you."

Jueben was chanting at this time, and when he heard the word Shuihua, he was stunned, put down the scriptures in his hand, and said to the little monk: "Heart Zen, bring him in."

The little monk Xinzen took the order and went out. Jue Ben seemed to remember some of the past, and sighed helplessly: "Old man Shui, it's still so difficult, this can be found by him." ”

After a while, Shui Hua came in, and at a glance, he saw Jueben standing and waiting outside the door, so he yawned and said, "Brother Jueben, I haven't seen you for a long time, I still miss you a little bit, little old man."

Jueben frowned, and said to Xinzen: "You go down." The mind retreated on its own.

Jue Ben seemed to be a different person at this time, without the previous solemnity, and scolded with a smile: "Old man Shui, it's okay." My body is very hard, and your sudden visit today is a bit of a surprise to me." So saying, he invited him into the house and sat down.

Seeing that there was no one around, the old man said, "Little old." I'm in trouble today, so I'm here to ask for your help. ”

Jueben frowned, although the old man Shui is not serious, but the Tao is not low, and there is the treasure of the Dao Sect Water Spirit Bead accompanied, what can be difficult for him, it seems that this matter must not be simple, otherwise the old man Shui will not look for him, so he said: "Old man Shui, you and I have been friends for many years, you have something but say that you might as well."

The old man saw that his former friend felt like he was back again, so he said, "It seems that I can't hide anything from you." "I immediately told the emperor about saving the prince, but there was no mention of the demon god's physique and the matter of sending a letter to the emperor.

After hearing this, Jueben scolded: "You old man loves wine as much as his life, and he must be greedy for the fine wine in the palace." ”

Shui Hua saw that he had seen through his purpose of taking over the emperor's list, and he didn't care about laughing.

But Jianjuben continued: "You said, you instilled the power of the water spirit bead into the body of the prince, although the prince's physique is a little special, what trouble is there with the spiritual power of the water spirit bead."

Shui Hua seemed to be preoccupied at this time, and said in a low voice: "However, that prince has a demon god physique that is rare for a thousand years."

"What?Demon God Physique?" Yi Jueben's characterization couldn't help but be taken aback, obviously he had also heard of this kind of physique.

Shui Hua said: "Yes, I was shocked at the time. The Demon God physique generally only appears on the body of the Ancient Demon Beast, how can mortals bear that kind of evil qi, let alone a ten-year-old boy."

Jueben's expression also became serious at this time, and he said softly: "Amitabha, with that young man's current symptoms, although you temporarily suppressed him with the power of the Water Spirit Bead and the Bagua Sealing Spiritual Technique, but with the terrifying level of the Demon God Physique, I am afraid that it can only be temporarily suppressed for him for a few years."

Shui Hua said: "Yes, that young man is still young, once the demon god's physique completely explodes, that young man will never be able to suppress it, and he will definitely be a demon who slaughters all living beings in the world in the future." ”

Jueben frowned and said, "Haven't you righteous people always like to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and do the right thing for the heavens?"

Shui Hua smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that you are still obsessed with the things of the past, although my little old man likes wine, but he is different from those old guys who claim to be righteous and stubborn, otherwise how could you and I be so speculative." ”

Jueben snorted coldly.

Shui Hua really didn't care, and continued: "What's more, that young man is indeed a bit unique, he actually knows how to suppress it with his mind, and would rather faint than let it explode, it's really rare." ”

Jueben was also taken aback, and praised: "It's rare, I can't imagine that young man is so stubborn, and he has a benevolent heart at a young age, it's really rare." ”

Shui Hua saw that Jueben kept praising Zhao Yu, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "I also saw that young man is also a little special, so he came to disturb your Qing cultivation, I hope you can enlighten him with Buddhism." Jueben was an old friend of him, and he didn't know what he thought, so he said, "You want me to guide him on the right path." ”

Shui Hua yawned and said, "You still know me, otherwise that young man will go to the evil path, and the evil fate he will create in the future will not be comparable to that of ordinary demon sect thieves." ”

Jueben said: "It can only be like this, but how afraid the demon god's physique is, I don't know if this method is feasible, whether it can be temporarily suppressed, you and I don't know yet, everything depends on his creation" After he finished speaking, he was a little unbearable, and said softly: "Amitabha." I don't know if I'm worried about the young man, or if I'm worried about the people in the world.

Shui Hua saw the scene of his old friend at this time, and knew that he probably agreed, so he said weakly: "I have already given the emperor my letter, and in a few days, he will come to visit you with the letter, hehe."

Jueben was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that you have planned for me a long time ago, but I am afraid that I will not see him, so I will come over again in person, you old man has not seen you for so many years, and you still look like this."

Shui Hua was not angry, and laughed.

Jueben smiled bitterly: "That's it, in order to kill less evil in the world, I will take your errand", and then continued: "You and I haven't seen each other for many years, so I have the right to stay for a few more days."

Shui Hua said: "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." After speaking, Shui Hua and Jue Ben laughed at the same time.

Jueben frowned and said: "It's just that I'm here, only Su Zhai has no wine and meat, but it will make you suffer for a few days." ”

Shui Hua laughed and said: "It's good to eat some fasting rice, as for the wine, I have it", after speaking, he took out a big gourd from his arms, and deliberately shook it in front of Jueben.

Jueben smiled bitterly.
