I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

Tang Zheng didn't understand why, but he took it anyway.

Without waiting for him to ask, Qing'er began to explain.

"These two books of skills were personally selected by the master for the two princes, and the elixir in this wooden box is for them to cleanse their tendons and marrow."

Qing'er pointed at the wooden box and said.

Tang Zheng handed the two items to the two little princes respectively, and then asked: "Is Daozun free? Can I meet him?"

Qing'er shook her head upon hearing this and said, "Master is currently comprehending his magical powers and is not convenient to meet guests. Your Majesty, please go back."

Tang Zheng seemed to have guessed something and wanted to ask more questions, but Qing'er's words made him swallow them down.

"Oh, by the way, Master also said that on the seventh day of every month, he will come to the palace to preach to the two little princes for a day."

After Qing'er finished speaking, she turned back to the yard and closed the door gently.

Tang Zheng knew that the purpose of his trip was to no avail, so he could only sigh helplessly.

Tang Chen and Tang Shuo were both puzzled and asked.

"Father, why are you sighing?"

Tang Zheng rubbed their little heads, looking a little disappointed.

"It's nothing, it's all my fault. It seems like you are destined to have no chance of becoming immortals."

After saying this, he took the two people's hands and walked towards the temple step by step.

Tang Chen and Tang Shuo had no idea what the immortal way their father was talking about, and left with Tang Zheng in confusion.

Taoist Mingxu, who was leading several royal relatives on a tour, saw Tang Zheng coming down with two little princes, and he already knew what was going on.

However, he did not say much, just pretended to be confused and saw the emperor off respectfully.

On the imperial carriage, after hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Ning showed a look of disappointment on her face.

She held the two children in her arms and comforted them, "It is said that immortals are ruthless, so it is okay for us to stay in this mortal world and be lovers."

Having said that, Concubine Ning felt differently.

That Taoist master was an immortal, and she was naturally unwilling that her two children did not catch his eye.

But she was just a woman after all, and she only had her current status because of the emperor's favor, so naturally she didn't dare to say much.

"Since Dao Zun has not spoken, what should we do about Chen'er and Shuo'er's cultivation?"

Concubine Ning asked.

Tang Zheng closed his eyes and said calmly, "I originally thought that it would be best if I could become a disciple of Dao Zun again. Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to entrust Senior Yuan with the task."

Apart from Dao Zun, Yuan Ge is the most suitable candidate in the entire capital.

After returning to the palace, Tang Zheng immediately summoned Yuan Ge to the imperial study. He did not mention the matter of becoming his disciple, but only said that he hoped the two little princes could practice under him in the future.

Yuan Ge stared at Tang Chen and Tang Shuo, and subconsciously said, "It's not that I don't want to, but the emperor has a better choice, why bother..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Ge noticed Tang Zheng's eyes and instantly understood everything.

Today, the emperor has mobilized a large army and brought a group of royal family members out of the palace to pay homage to Dayuan Mountain, including two princes. The purpose is self-evident.

When the emperor and his entourage returned to the palace, the fact that the two little princes did not stay in Fuzhen Temple spoke volumes.

The Dao Master sent two sets of skills and elixirs, which must have implied a rejection.

Yuan Ge didn't know what happened, but he didn't ask too much. He just shook his head and said.

"Since the Dao Zun has personally selected the techniques for the two little princes and comes to the palace every month to give instructions, I have nothing to teach you, so as not to mislead the young princes."

It's not that he didn't want to, but he felt that it was inappropriate and presumptuous of him to do so.

Out of respect for the Taoist Master, Yuan Ge didn't want to do this.

"If the emperor has other suitable candidates, it will not be too late to send them to me for training."

Yuan Ge changed the subject and gave a tactful answer, which did not offend the emperor.

Tang Zheng thought about it for a moment and nodded.

Now that things have come to this, he has nothing more to say.

Just then, Ding Xisheng walked in with several memorials.

"Lord Ding, what's the matter?"

Ding Xisheng handed over the memorial and quickly repeated its contents.

"Your Majesty, recently more than ten places including Qianzhou and Jinzhou have reported strange things. I am undecided and have come to ask for your advice."

Tang Zheng frowned slightly when he heard this. In his opinion, most of the so-called weird things were always caused by evil spirits.

Ordinary people may not be able to cope with it, but they can ask accomplished warriors to deal with it.

Once the evil spirits get close to a warrior, they will be burned by the warrior's boiling blood and energy and will not be able to get close at all.

"Do I need to make a decision on such a small matter?"

Tang Zheng's tone was angry.

He was already in a bad mood because of the affairs of the two princes, and now such a small matter had to be reported to him. How could he not be displeased by the emperor?

Ding Xisheng remained calm and continued, "Your Majesty, the evil spirit is a minor issue. The main issue is another matter."

"Recently, for unknown reasons, there have been many cases of wild animals injuring people in various places. According to the officials' memorials, although these wild animals are brutal and bloodthirsty, they seem to have some logic."

Ding Xisheng paused, with a strange look on his face.

“It’s as if they have intelligence.”

Judging from the reports submitted by officials from various places, the wild beasts not only travel in groups, but also know how to avoid traps set by hunters.

Many people also regarded them as beasts without intelligence, and suffered a great loss.

Moreover, the number of wounding incidents was extremely large, and local governments were short of staff, so they requested the capital to send capable officials to take charge of the matter.

Ding Xisheng keenly realized that something was wrong, so he hurried to report to the emperor.

However, Tang Zheng was so preoccupied with the affairs of the two little princes that he had no time to pay attention to what Ding Xisheng said.

Seeing that the emperor seemed still angry, Ding Xisheng knew that this was not the time to discuss things, so he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and decided to talk about it later.

After throwing the memorial on the table, Tang Zheng waved his hand and said, "You can handle this matter yourself. If there is nothing else important, Lord Ding, please leave first."

Ding Xisheng bowed his head slightly, bowed and left.

Yuan Ge, who was at the Tiangang Realm, also sensed something was wrong and couldn't help but ask, "There may be another reason behind the beasts' repeated injuries. I suggest that Your Majesty listen to what Lord Ding has to say."

Tang Zheng shook his sleeves impatiently, his tone cold.

"They are just a bunch of savage beasts that eat raw meat and drink blood. Why should we care about them? Even if there are millions of them, they are just flesh and blood. Can they stop my millions of cavalry?"

In his eyes, they were just a group of beasts causing trouble, and they couldn't cause any big waves.

The next day.

The two young princes, Tang Chen and Tang Shuo, began to practice the skills given by the Taoist Master and successfully entered the path of martial arts.

Except for the seventh day of every month when Dao Zun personally came to the palace to give instructions, the rest of the time the two of them followed Yuan Ge and were guided by him.
