The Immortal Monarch Xia was deceived

Chi Si casually told Yang Wentuo his guess about the legend:

"There are immortal Taoist priests selling spell books everywhere in the Dayan Dynasty. Although the grade of those spell pills is low, they are all true. I thought it was left by some monks who traveled to this mortal world before."

Or to start a sect, or on a whim.The thinness of spiritual energy in this world is not suitable for cultivating Taoism. There are few monks, but there are many cultivation methods.

"But maybe in the past, there were many monks in this world. Later, for some reason, everyone fought a battle, and many people died. The number of monks suddenly decreased, and the rest gradually left and went to other places. Enriched, it is more suitable for the world of cultivation, which is the so-called ascension or return to heaven."

"In the Youtian Realm where I live, monks have different orthodoxy, Taoism, demons, demons, and Buddhas... Every thousand years or so, there will be a battle. In the eyes of mortals, this is the legend of the battle between gods and demons."

Yang Wentuo nodded silently.

Maybe before Qianqiu, there were indeed many gods in this world.It's just that they have all left, and these hundreds of years have been the world of mortals.

The ridiculous thing is that nowadays there are a hundred fake gods mixed with one real god. The folks are superstitious about gods and Buddhas. Burning incense to pray for Taoism and alchemy consumes a lot of money, and they don't know how to deal with it.

***

Ten days later, Emperor Xiangyuan went to court normally again.

When the year entered winter, earthquakes and snow disasters occurred in several counties and towns in the Dayan Dynasty.

Local officials allocated food, resettled the victims, and were busy with disaster relief.

There are real immortals sitting in the court, and there are spies hiding somewhere in the local area, secretly monitoring the officials, and the government is still clear.

Fortunately, one or two disasters spread to the capital once or twice a month, and no major disaster occurred, so the emperor and courtiers would not be overwhelmed.

It's just unavoidable to be a little frustrated.Natural disasters cannot be stopped by manpower, they can only be covered by water and earth.

This year's climate is extremely hot, and the winter is also a warm winter that has never happened in a century.

However, when the beginning of spring is approaching, the temperature suddenly drops and there is heavy snow for days. It seems that the cold winter is not absent, but late.

On this day, the national teacher accompanied the holy majesty to enjoy the snow in the warm pavilion of the imperial garden. The national teacher does not love the flowers and plants in the world, but only loves the love of the world.

Suddenly, officials from the Ministry of Rites came to visit the saint and asked how to organize the Lantern Festival this year.

The Lantern Festival at the beginning of the year is the most important festival of the year.This year is the first Lantern Festival after Emperor Xiangyuan ascended the throne. Is it necessary to hold it grandly to show the majesty of the emperor?

Officials of the Ministry of Rituals dare not make decisions without authorization, and must be decided by the Holy Majesty himself.

"Lantern Festival?" Chi Si narrowed his eyes.

He has been here for two years, and this is the second Lantern Festival.

Previously in the realm of comprehension, a hundred years were like stone fire and quicksand, dynasties in the mortal world changed rapidly, and the days of mortal solar terms also changed quickly. In the eyes of monks, they changed their days almost in a short period of time, and they seldom celebrated festivals.

And he was very impressed with the Lantern Festival.

On the night of last year's Lantern Festival, he got his wish and married Ah Ji for real.

Among the people, the common people put up lanterns and festoons to celebrate with the whole family.In the imperial city, there is also the custom of holding a palace banquet on the night of the Lantern Festival.

But all the ministers knew that neither the State Teacher nor the Holy Majesty liked to attend banquets.Last year, some counties and towns had poor harvests due to natural disasters. The Holy One cherished the people and was even more reluctant to hold extravagant and wasteful palace banquets at this time.

If the palace banquet is not held, the lantern ceremony in the capital is inevitable, and it will be held grandly.

People put river lanterns and sky lanterns on the festival night, which means praying to the heavens, hoping that the gods and Buddhas will bless the coming year with good weather, good health and peace.

Now that the people in the country are uneasy, they are praying to gods and worshiping Buddha almost every day. This festival at the beginning of the year is just a good opportunity to not only follow the people's hearts, pray to the heavens, but also show the king's prestige.

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites resigned, Emperor Xiangyuan Longyan was furious, his eyes were cold like a sword, he stared at the person in front of him fiercely, gritted his teeth and spit out two words: "Chi, Si!"

It seems that he wants to peel the opponent's skin and cramps.

Just now he was discussing with the officials, but this monster deliberately disturbed the wind and rain, making his voice unstable.

Chi wanted to succeed in his bad intentions, and he was complacent about his beauty and prestige.

After a few breaths, he whispered in the other party's ear: "Your Majesty keeps his promises, and he will not forget what he promised me."

Yang Wentuo was startled for a moment.

"Can't remember?" Chi Si tried his best to help the other party remember, "You promised that you would take me to the street next time during the Lantern Festival."

That was when they went to Xihe last year.

It was the first time he knew about the festival of Dayan, and Ah Ji had promised him that he would take him to watch the Lantern Festival in Zhongcheng Street next year on the lantern night.

"If you don't want to take me there, we can live like last year."

Yang Wentuo glared at him fiercely, and after a few breaths, he couldn't hold back his smile, which was reflected in his eyes with deep affection.

"Take you there. But you have to follow me closely when the time comes. There are many people on the street, so don't be taken away by a little seller. You are so beautiful in the world, fourth brother, you can sell a lot of money."

"How much is such a peerless beauty like mine worth in the palace?" Qinglang smiled with a bit of glibness, "I sold myself to you. I won't charge you any money, as long as the emperor's harem pampers me alone." .”

Pale fingers evoked a smooth and beautiful jaw, and the hoarse and joking laughter instantly ignited the fire of thought: "It's more than just doting on one person, even if it's for you to be a foolish king, I'm willing to only make beautiful people smile for the sake of you."

Chi Si was stunned for a moment, and his passion was exhausted.

"Ah Ji," Lang Yin said in a low voice, deeply affectionate, "on the Lantern Festival, I will give you another small gift..."

***

From the end of the year to the beginning of the next year, there is a [-]-day festival holiday.

The demon Taoist who caused troubles in the harem can justifiably pull the Ninth Five Lord to accompany him to sing and sing every night and eat all day long.

Enjoying a night of feasting, when waking up from a sound dream, there is nothing in my arms, and the jade food in my heart has disappeared without knowing when.

Chi Siyan frowned slightly, and vaguely remembered that in a sound sleep, Aji said something was wrong, so he let her go in a daze.

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the hourglass by the window, it was already three o'clock.

Where did Ah Ji go?What's up?when will you be back

Get up and call the servant to ask, saying that the saint went up to the imperial study, and he just left not long ago.

In the past few days during the Chinese New Year holiday, there are still officials playing?Who is so obsessed with official duties?

He casually put on a robe and left the dormitory, Chi Si walked quickly to the imperial study.

As soon as the palace came into view, a problem was detected at the first glance: the doors and windows of the study were closed, and the servants were guarding the door. It was obvious that the Holy Majesty was discussing secrets with someone.

His curiosity suddenly arose, and he blocked his own breath with a formula, and went to the window to watch.

It was Qi Yin who was talking to Yang Wentuo in the study.

Something happened to Shuofang again?

Chi Si was thinking about it, but he heard Qi Yin ask: "The pill he gave you, are you sure it's really effective?"

She frowned: "This matter is no joke."

Yang Wentuo smiled lightly: "The fourth child should not talk nonsense. What's more, after practicing the exercises he taught me, I really don't feel as cold as before."

"But I'm still worried." Qi Yin frowned, "If that elixir is really what he said, of course everything will be fine. But if it doesn't have that effect, you..."

She sighed softly: "You still continue to take the medicine."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head and planned to walk out the door: "No, I have to go to him and ask if it's really the case."

"Don't go." Yang Wentuo lightly stopped, "If the elixir is effective, this matter will be a thing of the past, and there is no need to mention it in the future."

"If it doesn't work, don't let him know about it."

Chi Si frowned when he heard it outside the window, what can't he let himself know?

The elixir he gave to Ah Ji can cure all diseases and cure all poisons, and can make mortals become foundation-building Taoist bodies and directly enter the immortal path.But what effect does Aji need?

"If it doesn't have this effect, then you..." Qi Yin continued, "What are you going to do next?"

"You have no wife and no heirs, who will inherit the throne?"

Yang Wentuo's eyes slightly curved: "I originally planned that when you get married and have children, I will adopt him regardless of gender, and make him the crown prince."

"Don't do this to me." Qi Yin squinted at him, his usual flat voice was rarely twisted, "Ah Ji, even if the elixir doesn't work, you still have a few years left. Back then, the Patriarch was able to get you from If the gate of hell is closed and rescued, we will surely find a way to continue our lives."

"The head of the family has been searching for so many years, but he has not found a good solution. Now that he has passed away, don't waste your time and energy. Besides, I have successfully ascended to the throne of God, and my mission has been fulfilled. If you can't wait for your child to be born, first Find a smart kid in the Qi family."

The conversation in the imperial study room was transmitted to Chi Si's ears without missing a single word.

There are mixed feelings in my heart, mixed with sorrow and joy.

He understood the conversation between A Ji and Qi Yin.

Ah Ji was born with fetal poison, and was weak and sick since he was a child. He could not live to be ten years old.Later, I practiced a special skill to continue my life, but I couldn't live for too long.

Listening to their conversations, it seems that there are only a few more years to live.

At this time last year, he had seen A Ji's poisonous hair.

Although it was a play played in front of him, the poison was real.

Every time a Lantern Festival is passed, Ah Ji's remaining life will be reduced by one year.

He will only be 24 in a few days, and he is at the prime of his life, but his time is running out.

Chi Si felt a little sad in his heart, feeling sorry for the heavy burden that the sharp-hearted man had borne since childhood.

There was also joy—for the first time in his life, he experienced what it meant to be "lucky."

Fortunately, he is a monk with profound Taoism, and fortunately he has a teacher who can refine the immortal medicine of life and death.

But there was also a trace of doubt in my heart.

He had never doubted the effect of the elixir before, and it was one of the highest-level elixirs in the Youtian Realm.As long as there is only one breath left, people can be rescued and people can be alive immediately.

It's just that I have only seen monks taking it before, and the monks who took the medicine did not have inherent poison in their bodies.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious and worried.

Can this elixir completely eliminate the cold poison in A Ji's body?

Even though Ah Ji is the foundation building body, his body is still cold, so pale that there is no blood.

He used to think that there was no need to worry, and after Ah Ji finished what he wanted to do, he would bring him back to Youtian. They would have a long life and plenty of time.

But now that I think about it, just in case, I should take him back to Yuquan as soon as possible, and ask my uncle who is proficient in medicine to treat him thoroughly.
