"There must be a problem, Han Xiangzi must have a problem!"
In the Dragon Palace, the Prince's Mansion, Hua Long looked at the scene of Uncle Cao becoming an immortal in the jade jade, and was so angry that he smashed the glass cup in his hand.
"He is indeed a little strange." Bai Mudan stood behind him and frowned: "It's so weird that I can't describe it."
Hua Long took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. , thinking: "He seems to have something to predict. "The ability to know."
Bai Mudan suddenly realized: "Yes, that's strange! Without him, it would be difficult for Lu Dongbin to find out that I am a goblin, and it would be impossible for him to do so so quickly when he is trapped by love. Become an immortal.
Cao Jingxiu was in the same situation. If he hadn't recognized Wang San's true identity at a glance, Cao Jingxiu wouldn't have become an immortal just because of Wang San's drag.
If you push it further, there is also He Xiaoyun, who is probably also his handiwork. ”
Speaking of this, a chill suddenly rushed from the bottom of his heart along his spine to his forehead, and his whole body was chilled.
This speculation is too scary.
You know, these are three immortals!
Hua Long nodded: "That's right. The six immortals gathered so fast that my layout speed couldn't keep up with their gathering speed. This is a very outrageous thing."
"What should we do?" Bai Mudan asked.
Ever since she invited the Dream Demon to deal with the Eight Immortals, the two of them have become grasshoppers on a rope.
It is conceivable that Hualong will not let her go until the incident of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea is completed.
Therefore, her current inquiry is somewhat sincere...
Hualong thought for a long time and said quietly: "I have to find something to do for the Eight Immortals."
The next day.
It is noon.
Qin Yao, Yancai, Tieguaili, Han Zhongli, Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, Cao Guojiu and other immortal families gathered in a peach forest, waiting for Taibai Venus to appear.
As a result, Tieguai Li's immortal talisman flew into the sky for a long time, but Taibai Jinxing was not seen.
"Why did this Venus disappear again at a critical moment?" Han Zhongli scratched his head with the handle of the fan and complained silently.
Qin Yao sighed.
What else could it be?
Heaven decided to hold it back.
I just hope there won’t be any “super-class” disaster!
"How about you go to the sky to look for him?" Lu Dongbin suggested to Tieguai Li.
“It’s useless.”
Tieguai Li, who was looking for Venus to find out his experience, shook his head and said: “If the immortal talisman cannot contact him, God will definitely not be able to find him.”
"Then what should we do?" Lu Dongbin spread his hands and said, "We can't just wait in the capital, right?"
Qin Yao was also helpless.
If the Buddha and the Jade Emperor had not paid attention to the chess game, he could have led these immortals to search for Lan Caihe all over the city.
But the problem is, most likely they are watching.
Unlike the situation of He Xiaoyun and Lu Dongbin, Lan Caihe and Han Xiangzi were strangers to each other. As Han Xiangzi, he searched for Lan Caihe all over the city. He might not know what the two powerful commanders would think.
It’s better to be patient.
Strive for stability.
Afterwards, all the immortals returned to Cao's house together and settled down here for the time being.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long for things to turn around.
Unfortunately, this turn of events was brought about by dozens of lives...
There is a demon in the capital!
At the foot of the Emperor, the most benevolent place, demons suddenly arose out of nowhere, and the matter quickly reached the ears of Heaven.
When the emperor, who was high up in the palace, heard about this incident, he immediately issued an order, posted an imperial list, and offered a reward of up to a hundred taels of gold to those who could help out the demons.
The news reached the Cao Mansion. Tieguaili, Han Zhongli, He Xiangu, and Lu Dongbin scrambled to get rid of the demon. Qin Yao did not stop them and allowed the four immortals to leave the mansion.
After they left one after another, Cao Guojiu came to Qin Yao alone and asked seriously: "Xiangzi doesn't seem to be in a hurry?"
Qin Yao shook his head: "No. Don't be anxious, even if you know there is no point in being anxious. If the four of them can't find the monster, even if I follow him to find it, it won't be of any use."
Uncle Cao Guo nodded slightly and said hesitantly: "Xiangzi, this monster attack is coming. It’s so strange.”
Qin Yao: "I feel that they are most likely here to find us something to do."
Cao Guoshu: "..."
A few days later.
The Four Immortals, who were worried about the people and devoted themselves to eliminating demons, came back dejectedly. Qin Yao and Cao Guojiu welcomed them into the courtyard together.
"It's strange..." Tieguai Li said to the two of them: "The monster seems to have no pattern in killing people, and there is no connection between the dead. Today it kills a blacksmith in the East City, and tomorrow it kills a blacksmith in the West City Prostitute, simply inexplicable.”
Cao Jingxiu sighed and said: "The Holy Lord has offered a reward of one thousand taels of gold this morning, but there is still no one who dares to accept the imperial list and is confident that he can quell the demon trouble."
"Yes. The immortal magician who is capable of this will not Take this thousand taels of gold into consideration. Incompetent immortal magicians, or liars, but all locals should know that monsters kill people, who dares to kill them with their own lives. "
Qin Yaokai He said: "So, those who dare to reveal the emperor's list must either have attained the truth and have sufficient confidence in themselves, or they have come from other places and don't know how deep the water is!"
"This The imperial list, I’ve revealed it!”
< br>Dongcheng, at the downtown entrance, a middle-aged man wears a black scarf hat with white lines on his head, a black-faced white-flowered wide-sleeved robe, two strands of black beard under the temples, and a very good-looking middle-aged man. The young Taoist took off the royal list and said to the onlookers around him.
The crowd was talking and pointing, but no one spoke to them.
"Master, something is wrong." A girl in a blue dress carrying a burden came to the Taoist and said softly: "I heard that people are really dead. It doesn't look like someone is pretending to be a ghost."< br>
“What are the real dead people afraid of? It’s not like Master has never seen this scene before.” The Taoist responded in a low voice: “Is it possible? Do you believe there are monsters in this world?"
The girl in blue skirt: "Even if there are no monsters, if the other party dares to kill people without restraint, our master and disciple can..."
"Shut up and don't try to increase others' prestige. , destroy your own ambition." The Taoist admonished: "Also, your voice needs to be thinner to sound like a woman."
Mentioning this, Lan Caihe felt powerless in his heart, and said weakly: "Master, how long will I continue to pretend to be a woman?" Okay, you also know that your women’s clothing is better than men’s clothing The appearance is much more fairy-like."
The Taoist raised the imperial list in his hand and said: "If you can make this vote, it's almost enough."
Lan. Caihe opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't say anything treacherous.
Soon after, the Taoist held the imperial list and took his apprentice to the palace. He was respectfully led into a palace by the imperial guards and met the emperor in front of him.
"Zhang Guo, Qi Refiner of Kunlun Mountain, pays homage to His Majesty." In front of the young emperor, the Taoist bowed slightly and said loudly.
"Lan Caihe pays homage to His Majesty." The young apprentice followed and bowed.
"How dare you not kneel when you meet the Holy One?" Beside the dragon chair, a great eunuch holding a fly whisk shouted sternly.
"It doesn't matter." The young emperor shook off the long sleeves of his dragon robe, walked around the royal table, and faced the master and apprentice directly: "Do you really have magic to get rid of demons?"
Zhang Guo shook the imperial edict in his hand and said in a deep voice: "If you don't have the ability to slay demons, how can a poor man dare to reveal this imperial list? Who in the world thinks that he will live a long life?"
The emperor nodded with deep understanding and said, "Can the Taoist priest perform for me?" "I can't perform." Zhang said decisively: "What the poor Taoist practices is the art of slaying monsters, not a showmanship. Once If you take action, the demon will die."
Hearing what he said, the idea of the emperor's reward disappeared immediately.
Do charlatans dare to deceive the emperor?
Of course I dare.
Their ancestor Xu Fu made a very bad start and successfully deceived the First Emperor.
If there were no successful cases, the charlatans might not be so rampant!
"If that's the case, then I'll be waiting for good news."
'Why is this emperor so stingy? Master Tao, I risked my life to expose the emperor, and he didn't even say that he would give me any benefits. ’ Zhang Guo complained silently in his heart, but his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: “Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask you.”
“What’s the matter?” the emperor asked.
"Pindao Kaitian took a quick look and saw that the demonic energy in the imperial city was soaring. The monster that harmed people must be a unique monster."
Zhang Guo said loudly: "And because Pindao went down to earth to eliminate the demon without authorization, Being criticized by the heaven, the three flowers on the top of his head were cut off, leaving only the five qi in his chest to deal with ordinary monsters. It's okay, but it's not enough to deal with this kind of strange monster. It needs some external help."
"Oh?" The emperor sat upright and asked, "I don't know what external help I need. ?”
“Golden body!” Zhang said decisively.
“What golden body?”
Zhang Guo: "Literally, it means a Dharma image made of gold."
The emperor's face changed slightly, and he felt more and more like a liar. He asked solemnly: "How much gold does the Taoist priest need?" Body?”
Zhang Guo gestured and said, “That’s enough. "
The emperor turned to look at the eunuch who was accompanying him. The eunuch quickly bowed and said, "If it is not mixed with other materials, it will cost about eight hundred taels of gold."
Zhang. Guo Mu looked at the old eunuch with strangeness and said in his heart: This eunuch is a master.
The emperor nodded slightly and said, "Daozhang Zhang, how about I give you an answer tomorrow?"
Zhang Guo was a little disappointed. After all, the longer things like deception are delayed, the greater the variables, the greater the variables, and the danger. The higher the degree.
But now that the matter has come to this, he can only bow his head and obey the order: "Okay, I will listen to the Holy Master's instructions."
After half a stick of incense.
The emperor slowly came to the harem, dismissed his attendants, and came to Cao Yalan alone.
"Your Majesty." Cao Yalan bowed and said.
"My beloved concubine." The emperor smiled slightly and said bluntly: "Are you still used to living in this palace?"
Cao Yalan nodded quickly: "With Your Majesty here, I will feel at ease wherever I live. .”
The smile on the emperor's face suddenly widened a bit. He took Cao Yalan's hand and said cordially: "Lan'er, in addition to meeting you this time, I have one more thing to ask."
"Your Majesty Please speak." Cao Yalan said softly.
The emperor said: "You said before that uncle Cao Guo resigned because an expert came to the house and extradited him to Taoism?"
Cao Yalan nodded: "Yes, that is indeed an expert who has Really amazing ability, otherwise I I will definitely not make this determination."
The emperor breathed out softly and said, "Can Laner do me a favor?"
"Please tell me, Laner. Help you." Cao Yalan said immediately.
“A Taoist priest came from the previous dynasty and said that he had magical powers to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but he could not show it in front of me. I suspected that he was a bold liar, so I wanted to ask the masters of Cao Mansion to test him. The details." The emperor said calmly.
Cao Yalan thought for a while and said: "Lan'er will go back to her parents' home right now and ask the expert to come and relieve your majesty's worries."
The emperor was overjoyed and said with a face full of emotion: "Thank you for your hard work, Lan'er."< br>
Cao Yalan shook her head: "It is my concubine's blessing to be able to help His Majesty..."
More than two hours later.
The imperial concubine was escorted by the guards to the front of Cao's Mansion. The middle door of Cao's Mansion was opened wide, and the old lady, her son and a group of servants greeted her. The scene was very lively.
"Mom, where is Xiangzi?" Cao Yalan asked impatiently after entering the inner courtyard.
"I'm here." Qin Yao suddenly appeared in front of her and said with a smile: "I don't need to salute, right?"
"Of course not." Cao Yalan pursed her lips and smiled softly. Said: "I have something else to ask you. "
Qin Yao was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "What's the matter?"
Cao Yalan immediately relayed the emperor's words and told what he had heard, such as... The names and birthplaces of the master and apprentice.
"Zhang Guo...Lan Caihe..." Qin Yao murmured these two names softly, with a slightly strange look on his face.
"Xiangzi, is there any problem with these two people?" Cao Yalan asked hurriedly.
Qin Yao shook his head slowly: "Their situation is more complicated and I can't explain it in a few words. I will go to the palace to meet them tomorrow."
Cao Yalan bowed and bowed: "Thank you Xiangzi."
Qin Yao waved his hand: "It's okay, friends should trust each other and help each other. This is what I should do..."
After the mission was completed, Cao Yalan did not stay at Cao's house for long and returned to the palace before dusk.
After Cao Jingxiu sent him out of the alley on behalf of the Cao family, he returned to the house and took Qin Yao and asked, "What's the problem with those two people?"
Qin Yao looked slightly. After a pause, he waved his hand and said: "Don't ask, don't Think about it, you will know it in the future."
Cao Jingxiu said helplessly: "Do the gods like to play riddles?"
Qin Yao sighed in his heart: Brother, it's not that I want to play riddles, it's true. Can't talk.
There are some things that can be done but cannot be said. If you say it, it will cause disaster!
The next morning.
Qin Yao walked into the Jinluan Palace under the leadership of a general in front of the palace. He bowed his hands to the emperor behind the imperial table and in front of the screen and saluted: "Han Xiangzi, a poor Taoist, pays homage to your majesty."
After what happened yesterday, the eunuch accompanying the emperor had realized that the emperor now valued De Dao Quanzhen, so he did not ask Qin Yao to kneel down.
"No courtesy." The emperor stood up from the dragon throne and said seriously: "Concubine Cao said that the chief has a true Tao. I wonder if it is true?"
Qin Yao smiled slightly: "It's true."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Can the Taoist priest demonstrate something for me?"
Qin Yao: "Of course."
After speaking, he made a seal with his hands, and bursts of golden light suddenly appeared on his body. The golden light condensed into a lifelike golden dragon, with its body as the center, head held high and chest raised, looking forward.
“Pa.”
The whisk in the eunuch's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he stared at the scene in front of him in stunned silence, as if he had lost his soul.
The emperor was also dumbfounded.
He asked casually, but he didn't expect that this man not only played it real, but also played it so big.
Thrilling!
