"The Holy One has decreed that Zhang Guo, Lan Cai and master and disciple should come to see you!"
Accompanied by repeated calls, Zhang Guo, a man of immortal demeanor, accompanied Lan Cai and Xing, who were fluttering with fairy spirit. Cross the platform and arrive at the magnificent hall.
"Kunlun Mountain Qi Refiner Zhang Guo, together with his disciple Lan Caihe, pay homage to His Majesty." Before the emperor could speak, Zhang Guo flicked his fly whisk and bowed.
"Taoist master, there is no need to be polite." The emperor sat high on the dragon chair and raised his hand.
Zhang Guo immediately stood up straight, showing off his arrogance as an expert.
After years of cheating, he has figured out a lot of rules, and he knows that this is what the rich and powerful do.
The more submissive and polite you are in front of the other party, the more the other party will despise you.
This is human nature. He believes that even the emperor is not exempt from vulgarity.
“Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I wonder how your Majesty has considered it?”
“I have thought it over clearly.” The emperor nodded slightly and said, “As long as you, Daoist Zhang, can pass the test of Daoist Han, I will Accommodating all your needs ”
"Taoist Han?" Zhang Guo looked stunned.
Where did Taoist Master Han appear from?
"Liu Bao, please come to see Taoist Priest Xuanhan." The emperor looked sideways at the chamberlain and said calmly.
"Xuan Han Xiangzi Han Taoist Priest." The eunuch shouted loudly.
"Xuan Han Xiangzi Han Taoist Priest."
Several chamberlains relayed the message one after another, and the sound spread forward like waves.
Soon after, under the nervous gazes of Zhang Guo and Lan Caihe, Qin Yao, dressed in a white-gold robe, came slowly, raised his hands toward the imperial table and said, "Greetings to your Majesty."
"No need to be polite, Taoist Master Han." The emperor raised his hand and said: "Please start your test."
Qin Yao nodded, turned around and faced Master and apprentice Zhang Guo asked in a solemn voice: "You said you are a Qi practitioner from Kunlun Mountain. I don't know which mountain you worshiped, what sect you entered, and who are the elders of the master?"
Zhang Guo's expression changed slightly and he said: "Firstly, the poor Taoist didn't worship at the mountain to get started, and secondly, he didn't have any elders from the sect. His ability to become an immortal depends entirely on the spiritual manor of the barren mountain to read the scriptures and the divine beast Zhuguo to help him practice."
"Sutra... practice." Qin Yao chuckled and asked: "I wonder what state of practice you have reached?"
"If you get the help of the golden body, you can become an immortal." Zhang Guo was relatively reserved. said.
If he hadn’t been unable to figure out the details of this Taoist priest and dared not talk nonsense, he could even tell the story of Guanyin Master.
In fact, in the original trajectory, when he deceived the people to look for the so-called golden body, he mentioned Guanshiyin as a pretext. He did not care about Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, a Buddhist great power, why he could care about him as a "Taoist true disciple". Immortal".
"Your Majesty, please order someone to bring the gold up." Qin Yao turned to the emperor and said.
The emperor nodded and ordered: "Bring a thousand taels of gold."
In a blink of an eye, the four eunuchs carried two wooden boxes. After opening the lids of the boxes, the dazzling golden light suddenly shone. Through the eyes of master and disciple.
“How big of a golden body do you want?” Qin Yao asked Zhang Guo.
Zhang Guo made a rough gesture: "It's as big as this."
Qin Yao asked again: "Do you have any requirements for a golden body?"
Zhang Guo couldn't guess why he was asking this, but because he couldn't figure out the details of the other party, he didn't dare to say anything for the time being: "No request."
"Okay."
Qin Yao put his hand in He grabbed four gold bricks from the box and rolled them into balls like dough.
Zhang Guo and Lan Caihe's eyes widened at the same time, completely dumbfounded.
No.
What did they see?
Pinch the gold into a shape like clay with one hand...
Is this gold real gold?
Qin Yao's technique was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he pinched out a half-tall golden man, banged it in front of Zhang Guo, and asked, "I made it exactly like you, look. How's it going?"
Looking at the lifelike golden statue in front of him, Zhang Guo's whole body went numb.
What kind of monster is this guy named Han?
"Why didn't Zhang Daozhang say anything?" After waiting for a long time, the emperor asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Guo pretended to be calm, raised his head and said: "He is naturally very good at pinching, but the golden statue needs to be consecrated. After it is consecrated, it can become a help to the poor Taoist."
"How? Consecration?" the emperor asked.
Zhang Guo: "It requires Pindao to baptize it three thousand times with his own magic power, which will take about seven, seven and forty-nine days."
Emperor: "..."
This guy is really good at stalling!
Qin Yao would not give Zhang Guo a chance to delay forty-nine days. His main strategy was to use speed to control slowness. Before many parties could react, he would finish the matter and make it a fact. .
If we really have to wait for forty-nine days, we still don’t know what terrible changes will happen.
"In other words, you have magic power now, right?"
"Yes, but not many." Zhang Guo said cautiously.
Qin Yao smiled and said: "I heard from the Holy Master that your magic power can only be used to kill monsters?"
"Exactly." Zhang Guo nodded repeatedly: "There is nothing here... ..."
"Yes." Qin Yao suddenly interrupted.
Zhang Guo: "???"
"Show up, Xiang Liu." Qin Yao said lightly.
A black smoke ball as dark as ink suddenly flew in from the outside and manifested into a nine-headed monster snake several feet long.
“Hey.”
Seeing the strange snake looking at him, Zhang Guo fainted in a state of extreme fright.
Lan Caihe saw his master fainting, so he simply rolled his eyes and collapsed on the ground.
"Take it." Qin Yao raised his palm.
Xiang Liu suddenly turned into a ray of black light, which went straight into his palm and turned into a three-pointed, two-edged sword that was one inch long.
"Your Majesty, the test results are out."
Putting the magic weapon into his ear, Qin Yao cupped his hand and said.
The emperor, who was frightened by Xiang Liu and turned pale, took a deep breath and asked: "Taoist Han, that strange snake just now is..."
"It's just a weapon of poor Taoist." Qin Yao put down his arms and said with a smile.
"It's amazing. Taoist Master Han makes me amazed."
The emperor stood up and solemnly said: "I want to worship the Taoist Master as the national teacher on behalf of all the people in the world and suppress the evil spirits in the imperial city. Please also ask The Taoist priest agreed. ”
Qin Yao said in a deep voice: "I will try my best to find out the monsters that are wreaking havoc in the imperial city, but the title of Imperial Preceptor is forgetful. I do not rely on the luck of the country to practice. This false reputation is of no use to me."
< br>Emperor: "..."
This Taoist Master Han is really candid.
Because it is of no use to me, I don’t want it.
Don’t even bother to cover it up!
"The Taoist priest is not interested in fame and wealth, but is straightforward and open-minded. I admire him endlessly." After coming back to his senses, the emperor said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
"Your Majesty is overly complimentary." Qin Yao chuckled, and then said: "I have an unkind request, please accept it."
"It's okay, Taoist Master," the emperor said, raising his hand.
Qin Yao pointed to the two masters and apprentices who fainted on the ground, and said: "I want to ask your Majesty for a favor and give these two to me." The emperor asked curiously: "Is it true? I don’t understand, what does the Taoist want these two liars to do?”
Qin Yao said calmly: “These two people are related to something? They have some connections, so I have to take them away."
The emperor waited for a moment, and seeing that he did not tell what the matter was, he said: "They are just two liars. The Taoist leader can take them with him. Just go. I just hope that the Taoist priest will take the matter of exterminating the demon into his mind and restore peace to the imperial city as soon as possible.”
"I have to do my best." Qin Yao waved his sleeves, and the cuff of his right hand suddenly became several times larger, and he put Zhang Guo and Lan Caihe into his sleeves.
“Could this be the legendary Universe in the Sleeve?” The emperor’s eyes were filled with brilliance.
Qin Yao shook his head slightly: "No... I just used magic to shrink these two people and put them into the cuffs. Once the real universe in the sleeves is used, it can evolve the universe and form a real world. , even if you have the ability to cause trouble in heaven, don’t I want to escape the confinement of time and space."
The emperor was yearning for it, stood up suddenly, and asked expectantly: "Taoist priest, do you think I can become an immortal?"
"You can't? ." Qin Yao spoke decisively, leaving him no hope at all.
Emperor: "..."
"Is it because of the throne?" After a moment, he asked solemnly.
"There are reasons for this, but more importantly, it is because you have no immortal destiny." Qin Yao said frankly.
What is immortality?
In the world of "The Complete Biography of the Eight Immortals", members of the Eight Immortals such as Han Xiangzi, He Xiaoyun, and Lu Dongbin all have a destiny, but the emperor definitely does not.
The emperor was disappointed, but he could only watch Qin Yao gradually go away.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to think of a solution?" said the eunuch accompanying the emperor.
"What can you think of?" the emperor asked.
The great eunuch whispered: "Perhaps we can start from the Cao Mansion..."
"Shut up." The emperor said decisively: "There is no need to mention this matter again!"
>
Even if he does not become an immortal, he is still the most noble person in the country, enjoying all the glory and wealth.
But if you are obsessed with wanting to become an immortal and attack the Cao Mansion, you may not even be able to secure the throne.
He saw with his own eyes the magic of Han Xiangzi. Not to mention anything else, it was just the opponent's strange snake weapon that no mortal body could resist!
After leaving the palace, Qin Yao did not return directly to Cao Mansion. Instead, he walked slowly to a mountain forest, stopped in front of a gurgling stream, and waved his sleeves to Zhang Guo and Lan Caihe threw it out.
“Ouch.”
Lan Caihe hit his forehead on a stone, and immediately couldn't help crying out in pain, and his eyes quickly filled with tears.
On the other hand, Zhang Guo didn't react at all and collapsed on the ground like a dead body.
"Stand up." Qin Yao said lightly.
Lan Caihe endured the pain on his forehead and quickly stood up obediently.
"Why do you want to dress up as a woman?" Qin Yao thought for a while and decided to guide Lan Caihe to say what he wanted him to say.
Role playing.
No matter what you say or do, you cannot transcend the understanding of your own role.
To put it simply, he can't look at Lan Caihe now and tell him that you are one of the eight immortals, come back with me and become an immortal.
In this case, the two players playing this game (Buddha and Jade Emperor) will not be able to stand it.
Lan Caihe was not surprised that the other party could see his true identity, and said honestly: "Master thinks that my female appearance is more fairy-like, and it is easier to deceive people, so I let him I show myself in women’s clothing.”
"Immortal beauty?" Qin Yao raised his eyebrows, as if he remembered something, his eyes suddenly shone with divine light, and he looked carefully at the cross-dressing man in front of him.
Lan Caihe felt that his body was about to be seen through by him. He subconsciously crossed his hands under his crotch and asked in a trembling voice: "Taoist Master, what are you doing?"
"God "Xing, I see divinity in you."
Qin Yao laughed and said, "God help me."
? br>
At this time, Zhang Guo, who was in a coma, was awakened by his laughter, but he narrowed his eyes to a slit, looked at the current environment, and quickly closed his eyes, listening to the surrounding sounds quietly.
Qin Yao laughed for a long time, and after finishing the show, he said seriously: "To put it simply, you are destined to become an immortal because you are destined to become an immortal."
Lan Caihe : "?"
Zhang Guo: "?"
"You...you..." After a moment, Lan Caihe stuttered: "Are you kidding me? ”
Qin Yao waved his hand: "Do you think I look like the kind of person who just makes jokes?"
Lan Caihe: "..."
It doesn't look like that.
"Immortal, Immortal." While he was absent-minded, Zhang Guo quickly got up from the ground and asked eagerly: "Do you think I have a destiny for immortality?"
A divine light flashed in Qin Yao's eyes and he said frankly: "It doesn't seem like it."
Zhang Guo was unwilling to accept it, but did not dare to say that the other party was wrong. He only said: "Could it be that my destiny is hidden very deep? How about you take a closer look?"
Qin Yao shook his head. : "I think you really don't have it, but I don't rule out the possibility that I made a mistake. Follow me and look for other members of the Eight Immortals to see if you can tell if there is any chance of immortality."
"Okay, Okay." Zhang Guo said hurriedly.
"Then let's go."
Qin Yao formed a seal with his hands, and suddenly there were flames rising from the ground around his body...
Zhang Guo and Lan Caihe felt their eyes flash suddenly, and the next moment they appeared in a courtyard, as if they had traveled through time and space.
“Is this the true method of the Immortal Family?” Zhang Guo said with envy.
The desire to become an immortal became even more intense.
"You're back." Yancai walked out of a room and appeared in front of Qin Yao in a few steps.
"Where are the others? Why aren't they here?" Qin Yao asked in confusion.
Yancai shook her head and said: "I don't know. They had been discussing how to target the monster. I heard it was boring, so I went out to relax. When I came back, they were gone..."
That night.
The moon is dark and the stars are sparse.
The five immortals Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, He Xiaoyun, Lu Dongbin, and Cao Jingxiu were guarding the sky above the five directions of the imperial city in the east, west, south, north, and middle, keeping an eye on the entire imperial city with their eyes open.
This is the "stupid" method proposed by Cao Jingxiu.
Whenever the five immortals in the sky see evil spirits appearing, or evil spirits harming people, they will immediately notify others to encircle them, and at the cost of a victim's life, they will drag the immortals to form a circle and lock on the evil spirit. Countless monsters.
Under the current situation, this stupid method is already their best choice, at least it is much more reliable than blindly searching all over the city before.
“It appeared!”
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Zhongcheng District.
Cao Jingxiu suddenly turned into a bright divine light, fell from the sky, and hit a certain location in the city.
When the other four immortals saw his movement, they all moved closer to the central city and followed Cao Jingxiu from a distance.
Sixiang Pawnshop.
In the lobby.
Bai Mudan pinched a man's neck with one hand, creating a suction force between his mouth and nose, transmitting the essence in the other person's body to his own body along his mouth and nose.
As the last ray of essence split into two and disappeared into her two nostrils, the door of the pawn shop exploded with a bang.
Wearing a white gold robe and holding a yin and yang board, Cao Guojiu appeared in front of Bai Mudan among the debris in the sky, and shouted sternly: "You evildoer, suffer death!"
