The emperor did not believe the rumors of the people. What he saw were the rumors from the governor and other officials of Yuzhou.
There is no exaggeration in the excerpt, it only describes in detail the whole process of Zeyang's prayer for rain.
“You can actually control the wind and rain? You really have some abilities!”
The emperor originally wanted to send Master Zeyang away.
"Let him continue to make elixirs for me. If there is a drought, send him out to pray for rain."
The emperor made the best use of everything, thinking that he would reward him generously when Zeyang came back.
Anyway, he has no shortage of gold and silver.
The emperor called Taoist Xuanzhen over and asked directly: "Do you know how to pray for rain?"
Taoist Xuanzhen had just received the message from outside the palace, and he had something in his heart. After all, he was not afraid and replied with a smile: "Of course the poor man understands. But in this aspect, he should not be as good as That Taoist Brother Zeyang. Congratulations to Your Majesty. With a talent like Taoist Brother Zeyang, you will no longer be afraid of natural disasters.” In his heart, the emperor liked him very much for this reason. When he was free, he would call people around to discuss Taoist theories.
Zeyang, on the other hand, is a boring gourd. He only immerses himself in doing things. He doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't understand language skills.
The emperor had no interest in talking to Master Zeyang.
Comparing the two, doesn’t the emperor prefer Taoist Xuanzhen?
Taoist Xuanzhen is prospering in the capital, and Master Zeyang has already traveled throughout Yuzhou.
The drought in Yuzhou has been completely lifted.
Master Zeyang received heartfelt gratitude from the people of Yuzhou.
Master Zeyang was very happy to be able to save so many people, something he wanted to do before but was unable to do it.
Thanks to the blessing of the ancestor, he has done it now.
Master Zeyang felt relieved, and a large amount of spiritual energy gathered towards him.
Master Zeyang hurriedly sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the spiritual energy and guide the spiritual energy to move within his body.
One Great Zhoutian, two Great Zhoutian, three Great Zhoutian...
The real one hundred and eight Great Zhoutian ended, and Master Zeyang ended his cultivation.
Opening his eyes, he saw the disciple's joyful face: "Congratulations, master, for improving your cultivation."
Master Zeyang couldn't help but smile.
His cultivation this time has improved him by two realms, and he is now at the sixth level of Qi training.
After the fifth level of Qi training, he can control objects and fly. From now on, he will also be able to fly into the sky.
Liu Hiiragi: "Master, it's time for us to return to Beijing."
Master Zeyang sighed after hearing this. He really didn't want to return to Beijing!
He prefers the feeling of practicing in the countryside.
But he had to return to Beijing, and the emperor's order was difficult.
Master Zeyang: "Pack your luggage."
Master Zeyang comforted himself that the emperor was generous and the materials for refining the flying magic weapon could be obtained from the emperor.
Although Liu Heng thinks that flying with a sword is the most handsome, Master Zeyang doesn't think so.
Zeyang Zhenren does not know how to use a sword, and he feels that it is unsafe to step on a slender sword handle that is only one inch wide, and it is easy to fall from it.
Zhenren Zeyang decided to build a safe flying magic weapon.
He studied alone for a long time, referring to the appearance of immortals walking on clouds in myths and legends, to create a flying magic weapon in the shape of auspicious clouds, which can allow him to stand and sit down.
Liu Hao naturally supported this and gave Master Zeyang a lot of good suggestions.
Zeyang Zhenren adopted them one by one.
The time on the road was spent practicing and studying the blueprints of flying instruments. Master Zeyang found that his cultivation efficiency was very high now.
The results of cultivation that used to take half a day can now be achieved in one hour.
He was very surprised. Isn't this too fast?
Zhenren Zeyang is worried about whether there will be any problems if he practices too fast.
Liu Heng comforted Master Zeyang: "Master, I think this is the blessing you have received."
Zeyang Master was surprised: "Blessing? What blessing?"
Liu Heng: "Master, do you know the Buddhist theory of 'merit and virtue'?"
Of course Master Zeyang knows.
Many Taoist priests have studied the theories of their old enemy Buddhism, so that they can easily quarrel with the monks.
Liu Heng: "Master, this time we prayed for rain in Yuzhou and brought life to the people. Didn't we gain a lot of merit? With merit and virtue to protect ourselves, master's cultivation will naturally be smoother."
Master Zeyang thought about Liu Heng's words, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.
He said: "Then I will do more good deeds from now on."
Liu Heng: "Master, don't be too deliberate, just do what you want."
After all, he is a Taoist, With a deep understanding of the idea of "inaction", Master Zeyang easily accepted Liu Hiiragi's reminder.
There is no need to rush back. The two masters and apprentices led a group of guards and walked back slowly. Occasionally they would encounter a place with beautiful scenery, and they would stop for a while to enjoy the scenery.
The guards mythologized Master Zeyang. In their hearts, they were afraid that Master Zeyang had a higher status than the emperor.
Naturally, they would not return what Zeyang Zhenren and Liu Heng said. They would not stop them from doing whatever they wanted to do, and they would do their best to make sure that they had a good time.
The inspection of Qingfeng by Master Zeyang and Liu Heng was over. They were satisfied with Qingfeng's character, so Liu Heng accepted Qingfeng as his disciple, although he was only an outer disciple now.
Liu Heng tested Qingfeng’s spiritual roots and taught him appropriate cultivation techniques.
The booklet Liu Hiiragi gave to Master Zeyang not only recorded the cultivation techniques suitable for Master Zeyang, but also recorded the cultivation techniques for other spiritual roots.
Qingfeng knew that after practicing, he could call the wind and rain like Master Zeyang. His enthusiasm for cultivation could not be quenched by pouring ice water on him, so he practiced very hard and seriously.
Diligence can make up for clumsiness.
Besides, Qingfeng is not clumsy. Before returning to the capital, Qingfeng successfully introduced Qi into his body and reached the first level of Qi training.
Entering the palace, Master Zeyang wanted to see the emperor first, and Liu Hao accompanied him.
His master was clumsy and could not say many words. Liu Tiao wanted to help his master and ask for rewards from the emperor.
The emperor was going to reward Master Zeyang heavily and had already prepared a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
Liu Heng smiled and accepted it on behalf of his master, and asked for something other than gold, silver and jewelry.
The emperor's eyes flashed and he asked: "What do you want?"
Liu Hao revealed the materials for making the flying magic weapon.
The emperor found that they were all nothing special materials, put aside his suspicion, and agreed to Liu Hiiragi's request.
Yu Hiiragi: The really necessary materials were collected on the road.
After returning to Qiankun Pavilion, the two of them found the Taoist priest looking at them with a smile at the door.
The two of them thought of the rumors they heard in the capital along the way and recognized that this person should be the rumored Taoist Xuanzhen.
Taoist Xuanzhen smiled and saluted Zeyangzhen on the sidewalk: "I have met Taoist brother Zeyang."
Zeyang Taoist replied: "I have met brother Taoist."
< br>Taoist Xuanzhen: "I have long heard about Taoist brother Zeyang's reputation and wanted to get acquainted with him. Now that we have met, why don't we discuss Taoism together?"
