The old demon of Montenegro wants to practice Taoism

Shan Yangze sat down on a chair at one side, and saw Concubine Wan Gui holding the prince's hand, saying: "This child suffered a lot when he was young, and he was afraid of life. He was a little rude when he met the celestial master just now. Please don't ask the celestial master to accept it." Take it to heart."

When did Concubine Wan Gui have such a good attitude?I think it's just because of the elixir of life, she and the emperor have a heart-to-heart relationship, and she is more informed than the queen dowager, and the governor came out of her palace, and it doesn't matter whether it is the emperor's confidant or something else, the elixir of life is very important. With hope, she must have known it.

Thinking of this, Shan Yangze smiled, and said very cryptically: "His Royal Highness, it must be because of what happened last year. When I... last year, after all, I used Taoist spells. Maybe it scared him."

Concubine Wan Gui smiled slightly. Although she was old, she was well-mannered and showed no arrogance at all.She raised her hand to put the prince down, lowered her head and said, "It's getting late, how about letting the nanny take care of you to wash up?"

The prince nodded, and while walking out, he looked back at Shan Yangze cautiously.

Shan Yangze watched the prince go out, turned his head to look at Concubine Wan Gui's face, there were two tears in his eyes, as if they were about to flow down, he couldn't help being startled by such a quick face change.

Concubine Wan Gui's voice choked up and said: "Tianshi, since I entered the palace at the age of four, I first served beside the Empress Dowager, and then the Empress Dowager gave me to Your Majesty. It has been more than 40 years. I..." Concubine Wan Gui sobbed twice , said: "I feel that time is not long, but this child...he is not yet an adult, if there is no mother watching by his side, I don't know him..." At this point, those two tears are still flowing. down.

"I heard that the Celestial Master has the method of longevity. I would like to make a great wish to enshrine the tablet of the Celestial Master. I only ask the Celestial Master to take pity on my son and let me take care of him for a few more days." Concubine Wan Gui covered her mouth and nose with a veil, Turned his head and wiped away the tears.

Enshrining a memorial tablet actually sounds a bit strange to a living person, Shan Yangze suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, thinking that the concubine Wan Gui in history seemed to die in her fifties, besides, she still ate The raw materials are not very harmonious, but the effect is good. No matter whether the immortal grass can be obtained in the future, at least she can live for another 20 years.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I look at your Majesty's face, she has great blessings, and her life expectancy is more than [-] years." After Shan Yangze said this, he suddenly remembered that the purpose of Wan Guifei was not only that, but now everyone is using the elixir of life. If you want to, the queen mother is missing, including the royal family members, so at this time Wan Guifei came to him, the main purpose is to say: the elixir of life, remember to give it to me when you find it.Thinking of this, Shan Yangze shouted again, "Your Majesty and his wife are deeply in love, what are you worried about?" You two took the two medicines you got last time.

Concubine Wan Gui knows that Shanyangze has profound mana, and he is a professional in pretending to be a magic stick, so the corners of Concubine Wan Gui's smile turned up. It's also 20, which is considered a long life.Although what Shan Yangze said is not quite right, the word husband and wife is actually used to describe husband and wife. In other words, only the queen in Kunning Palace can be called husband and wife together with the emperor in the palace, but... Concubine Wan Gui accepted it with a smile. He made this slip of the tongue.

"In that case, I'm relieved." Concubine Wan Gui summoned the palace servants and said, "It's getting late, the Celestial Master should go back to rest earlier, Deshun, send the Celestial Master off." He took out a small box from the inner room, and said: "The celestial master is an expert, and the celestial master must not look down on ordinary things. I thought about it for a long time before I came up with such a good thing." He opened the box he was holding, and said: "This is the statue of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun carved from mutton fat jade. Please ask the celestial master to take it back."

After opening the box for a moment, Shan Yangze saw that piece of beautiful jade with just one glance, and it is not ordinary that can be rewarded by Concubine Wan Gui. A piece of mountain material the size of two fingers can be sold at a sky-high price, and I can't help but have several expectations for things like becoming a fairy.

And... History should have been knocked down several times by him, so if he has been alive, should such things be handed over to the country?

"Thank you madam."

Concubine Wan Gui leaned slightly, gave him a little help, and said in a voice so small that only the two of them could hear: "Be careful of the people around you."

people around me?The people around him also have intersect with Concubine Wan Gui, who else but Governor?Shan Yangze straightened up as if nothing had happened, and left.

The lights in the palace had already been turned on, and Shan Yangze returned to the Huitong Hall in a carriage.In the big room, there was a table of dishes on the table, Dahei and Erhei were eating like no one else, while Guo Qian and Huai Shu were sitting on the side, a little bit speechless.

But when he saw Shan Yangze came back, Guo Qian immediately smiled, Shan Yangze sat beside him, put the jade statue on the table, and said: "Listen to your Majesty, I'm afraid we will go in the first month."

Presumably when he was away, Guo Qian had already told Huai Shu about their experiences last time, only to hear Huai Shu say: "I have to go with me this time." As he spoke, he gave Shan Yangze a disgusted look, and said : "If I were here, why would you be tossed like this?"

After a few words to each other, they ordered the servants to come in to clean up the leftovers, ordered hot water to wash up, and prepared to start the evening practice.

There was just a knock on the clapper on the second watch outside, and someone knocked on the door outside.

Shan Yangze and Guo Qian looked at each other, this is the point, besides, they are looking for him again, who is it?

Shan Yangze pulled the door, and saw a person outside the door who was wrapped in a pitch-black cloak. Seeing the door open, he wanted to come in from one side of his body, but Shan Yangze's movements were much faster than him. Caught between two door panels.

"Is this how the Heavenly Master treats guests?" The man was pressed down by Shan Yangze, but he could move his hands and feet, but he couldn't get in or out, and his tone didn't sound very good.

Shan Yangze really wanted to laugh at him, but due to this kind of ridicule, there might be a difference in understanding, so he said: "I didn't invite you."

There seemed to be a small gasp under the cloak, and then the man said, "I'm here for the elixir of life, and I want to discuss a business with the Celestial Master."

Hearing the words of elixir, Shan Yangze felt that this was a good opportunity to find out how the news leaked out, so he let go of the door, and the man entered and sat on a chair without removing the cloak on his head , said: "My master wants the elixir of life."

Shan Yangze also sat down, Guo Qian had already turned into a ghost who could not be seen by ordinary people, and sat beside Shan Yangze.

"Your master?" Shan Yangze said with a smile: "Since you can come into this hall, your master must not be an ordinary person. In this case, why don't you go to His Majesty and ask for two?"

The man said: "My master wants half of it."

For the elixir of life, the first batch of raw materials made to fool people were not harmonious, and now there is not a single one left.Wait until they connect to the Tongtian Road and find the elixir, then they can make a batch of real guys. According to their current progress, it can be said that they are still far from the elixir of life.

Shan Yangze said: "Your master's news is not very well-informed. If you want to talk about this elixir-" Before Shan Yangze could fool you, the man said impatiently and complacently: "One can last ten years of life. .”

Shan Yangze was stunned, this is a secret, and the number of people who know it must not exceed one hand.Thinking of his earlier conjecture with the governor, Shan Yangze said calmly, "The empress dowager is the emperor's biological mother, so naturally she can take the lead, so why come to me?"

The mysterious man paused first, avoided the queen mother's question, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you don't know what's going on here. The mansion newly given to you by the emperor and the servants arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs have a lot of things to say. If I don't make an agreement with you now, I'm afraid it will be too late in the future."

Shan Yangze smiled and said: "This job was ordered by the emperor, the emperor is the biggest in the world..."

The mysterious man chuckled and said: "Look, since I can come to you first, it also shows the power of my master. Some emperors can't give it to me, but my master can!"

The tone became louder and louder, Shan Yangze shook his head and remained silent.

Seeing Shan Yangze gossip, but not asking what conditions he can offer, the mysterious man was a little anxious, and said: "My master can give you a king, a king with a different surname, and a fief."

Shan Yangze glanced at him and said, "Please."

This is about to chase away the guests, the man was anxious, and said: "My master likes you, that's your luck, otherwise you can't find anyone."

It's hard for you to pretend so much in front, Shan Yangze stretched out his hands and grabbed several layers of clothes on the back of the man's neck, and lifted him out, saying: "It's late at night, you and I are in the same room, it's better to avoid suspicion."

After speaking, the door closed.The mysterious man stomped outside the door and left.

Shan Yangze glanced at Guo Qian and said, "Did you hear it?"

Guo Qian nodded and replied: "At first I said it in a low voice, but then I was irritated by you, and my voice sounded a bit sharp."

Shan Yangze sighed, and said: "It's the eunuch." As he spoke, he waved his hand to attract a ghost, and said, "Go and follow that man just now, and see where he went."

Guo Qian watched the ghost float out of the door, and said: "In addition to the imperial palace, there are two prince's residences in the capital."

Shan Yangze said thoughtfully: "I'm just weird. If I were to be the emperor, these things must be kept secret, and no one can tell." Shan Yangze frowned, "And the Queen Mother , even if the Empress Dowager got the news, how could she tell her servants such secret things."

Guo Qiandao: "It is impossible for the two of us to say that the news leaked out. The governor has been with us all the time. If it is said that the news leaked out, the emperor must have leaked the news. But... the emperor will tell the queen mother everything in detail. Listen? I always feel that there is something strange in it."

Shan Yangze nodded, and said, "We'll talk about it when he comes back. But the king with a different surname still has a fief...unless the dynasty changes."

Not long after, the ghost sent by Shanyangze to inquire about the news came back, and it was indeed from the palace.Shan Yangze thought for a moment, then said: "We are not familiar with the palace, we will pass the news to the governor next time and let him handle it."

In the next few days, Shan Yangze entered the palace from time to time, and held small meetings with the emperor and the governor to discuss how to dig up the Qin Shihuang's mausoleum secretly and efficiently.To say that being an emperor is really hard work, Shan Yangze couldn't help admiring Zhu Jianshen again when he saw Zhu Jianshen looking for information from various ancient books and historical records.

It takes a few days to get from the capital to Chang'an Mansion. If they arrive in time for the Chinese New Year, they will have to set off on the first day of the first lunar month.This day was the last time they entered the palace before departure, and the emperor let them out of the imperial study after saying a lot of words of encouragement.

But when Shan Yangze was about to say goodbye to the governor, the governor said: "What you said last time has a clue, today I want to invite you to watch a good show."

Shan Yangze raised his eyebrows and followed the governor.Regarding the matter of Chengxian Road, he didn't want too many forces involved in it, and it was serious to simply drag things to Kunlun.There are too many influences, if someone hides a stone, or hides the bones of a fairy, who will he cry to.

The place where the governor took him was the place where he competed with the monks last time. There were already many eunuchs standing densely inside. The governor and Shan Yangze went up to the high platform, and Shan Yangze sat down. He sat down and said, "I called you here today to remind everyone of something."

As the Governor waved his hand, a few Jin Yiwei guards came up with a person.

The man's coat had been stripped off, and his hair was scattered covering his face, so it was hard to tell his age.Jin Yiwei threw him in the middle, and the man seemed to wake up suddenly, crying: "Master, please forgive me, I will never dare again!"

The voice Shan Yangze felt a bit familiar, it seemed to be the chief eunuch in charge of refreshments in the imperial study?He leaked the news?He glanced at the Governor, who nodded.

The eunuch collapsed on the ground and cried for a while, his voice was a little hoarse, the governor looked at the eunuchs below, many of their heads were lowered to their waists, and some of them were sweating coldly, so he was satisfied, he stood He got up, walked to the front of the high platform, and with a wave of his hand, several Jin Yiwei went down to get things, he said: "I know that you each have masters, but..." The governor changed the subject and said sharply: "Since As a servant in the palace, there can only be one master!"

The governor walked up to the eunuch in the middle of the field, put his toes on his head, propped his head up halfway, and said, "Your Majesty is your master!" After finishing speaking, the governor sighed and turned to go up the high platform sit down.

At this time, Jin Yiwei, who had just gone to get things, also came back. There was a long bench and two large boards. Even if Shanyangze was not a native of the country, he knew that they were going to hit the boards, and they were the kind to beat people to death. style of play.

Shan Yangze involuntarily glanced at the governor, paying special attention to his toes.

The governor noticed that Shan Yangze was looking at him, raised half of his mouth, smiled at him, turned his head and said to the guards in Jinyi: "Let's fight, fifty big boards."

Jin Yiwei put the eunuch on the bench, and tied his hands and feet to the bench with two ropes at the front and back, and two more Jin Yiwei with boards came up, and began to count one by one.

Although Shan Yangze does not look sideways on the whole, he has been paying attention to the toes of the governor from the corner of his eyes. The two feet of the governor are placed in parallel, neither outside nor inside.In the blink of an eye, the two Jin Yiwei had already counted to 25. Although the pa pa pa pa sound sounded a bit irritating, there was no trace of blood on the back of the eunuch who was tied to the stool, and the crying and shouting sound was very powerful.

43, 44, 45.

As the two Jinyiwei counted down, there were only five left in the blink of an eye.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, even Shan Yangze could hear many eunuchs breathed a sigh of relief, even the eunuch on the stool was crying with laughter.

However, just as the number "45" fell, the governor put down the teacup in his hand and smiled softly. This laughter happened to be seen only on the two boards, so everyone present could hear it clearly.

Even Shan Yangze felt startled.

The eunuch who was tied to the stool gasped and said loudly, "Superior, please forgive me." He suddenly raised his head, only to see that the two feet of the superintendent, who were originally placed parallel, had become splayed.

dead!

The speed of Jin Yiwei's swinging staff suddenly became two or three times as fast as before, and the two counted alternately.

46. ​​The eunuch screamed, and blood appeared on his back immediately, and the eunuchs in the first row trembled.

47. Shan Yangze heard a crisp sound, and the eunuch's bones were broken.

48. The eunuch no longer struggled, but just shook his legs and feet following the force of the board coming down.

49. Blood splashed on several eunuchs in the first row.

Fifty.

The supervisor stood up, with a lazy tone, and said: "It's a pity." After speaking, he raised his voice again: "You go back, you have wasted a lot of time, be careful of the masters to blame."

"Yes." It's just that this sound was said, and many people's voices were trembling.

Jin Yiwei went to tidy up the things in the audience, the governor said to Shan Yangze: "It's a pity, the master behind him is the queen mother, he can't move for the time being, so he can only kill chickens like this for monkeys to see."

Shan Yangze felt a bit disheartened in the governor's voice, remembering that Wantong said earlier that he was the emperor's confidant, and recalling that Concubine Wan Gui said to be careful of the people around him, his heart was a bit complicated.He said: "You work for the emperor..." But he couldn't say anything after that.How to say?The emperor is extremely filial, and now he can be used, if he is naive to meet the queen mother...

The Governor's loss was only for a moment, he said: "We will set off tomorrow, and I will pick you up in the morning."

Shan Yangze felt that although he could not deal with the people around the Queen Mother, he could still warn the people in the palace fiercely, who was the one who came to him last time...

"Wait a minute." Shan Yangze suddenly stopped the Governor, took out a talisman paper from his arms and said, "Give this to that person to drink."

Governor raised his eyebrows, and Shan Yangze said: "It still has some effect, at least ten and a half months won't be able to get out of bed."

The governor smiled, took the things and left.

Early the next morning, the governor came to pick up Shanyangze. This time, Heishan was dispatched all over the place, but the governor said with a sullen face, "Let's go to the palace first." This time, only Shanyangze got into the carriage. The governor said: "The queen mother finds a Taoist priest and goes with us."

Taoist priest? "Yan Chixia!" Shan Yangze said.

The governor nodded heavily, thinking about something in silence.

Shan Yangze didn't bother the governor, but he felt that this matter was a bit strange. Ordinarily, the search for the elixir of life should be a secret, why the emperor forced others to get in.

It only takes a quarter of an hour at most from the Huitong Hall to the imperial palace by carriage, including the time to get on and off the carriages on both sides and enter the courtyard.

The emperor sat on the chair and saw the two of them coming in. He still sat on the chair calmly, but nodded slightly to show that he knew they had come in.The warm hospitality of the emperor was in stark contrast to the last time Huishan Yangze came alone.

Shan Yangze felt relieved, and heard the emperor say: "This time I have found some helpers for you." The emperor's voice was also cold, showing his power, and the few people standing below all had serious faces.Shan Yangze heard the emperor say again: "This one is Master Yan from Longhu Mountain."

Shan Yangze glanced at him, only to see Yan Chixia looked at him blankly, and nodded slightly.

The emperor said again: "Yan Chixia is a disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain. She has profound mana. She and the Heavenly Master of the Mountain complement each other. I think this time I can get twice the result with half the effort."

Shan Yangze thanked His Majesty very politely.

The emperor said again: "This one is General Zhou."

week?Shan Yangze became vigilant, remembering that when he was bragging with Wantong, he said that the queen mother's family name was Zhou.

But in front of the emperor, he didn't say anything.

The emperor said: "General Zhou served in the imperial mausoleum earlier, and there are many capable people and strangers under him. With him, I can rest assured."

The emperor introduced the two of them, and said a few more words that everything should be subject to the governor when going out, and let them all go out.

Shan Yangze pulled the governor, whispered: "What's going on with them?"

The governor said sullenly, "I only found out this morning. It is said that the queen mother forced her to die. The emperor had no choice, so he nodded. However, I have already dealt with the person in the imperial study. Once the news is sent back, it will not be leaked."

This is not sure, and there are these two eyeliners.The one surnamed Zhou is hard to say, Yan Chixia has profound Taoism, and she often goes out alone to subdue demons, so she doesn't look like cannon fodder.

But Shan Yangze thought about the experience of going out these few times, even the governor died several times, it's really hard to say.

With such an episode, by the time they set out on the road, it was already afternoon.

Governor was already a little irritable, got into the carriage and said, "Too many people is trouble." Shan Yangze sighed in unison as he thought about the people on this trip.

Yan Chixia, it's hard to say that he is on the empress dowager's staff, he should have formed his own school and was recruited by the empress dowager for some reason.

Needless to say, General Zhou must belong to the Empress Dowager. Although Shan Yangze had only spoken a few words to him, it could be seen that he was extremely arrogant and was very good at giving orders based on his status.

There is another death row prisoner with a tattoo on his face.This man's surname is Sun, and he was brought up from prison. It is said that he is a tomb robber. Tomb robbery is strictly prohibited by the Ming Dynasty law. , being polite to him, and taking him to the Qin Mausoleum, then he must have dug some tomb of a nobleman of the Qin Dynasty.

As for the few other guards in Jinyi, seeing how the governor treated them, he knew that there were also many other people's hands among them.

Shan Yangze looked at the motley team behind him, thinking that he must find some way to prevent them from entering the tomb.

About seven or eight days passed, and a few days before the New Year's Eve, Shan Yangze and the others had already arrived at Qin Ling.

This time they were posing as officials of the Ministry of Rites, and they came to deliver some New Year food and drink, cloth quilts and other things to these people guarding the mausoleum at the order of the emperor.Shan Yangze saw that many people were moving things, so he found an old man in his fifties and said, "This mausoleum has not been repaired for many years... Alas, His Majesty plans to start repairing the mausoleum next spring, so he will send me first Come and see."

As soon as the old man heard it, he regained his energy. As soon as he took the pipe and pot, he said, "Come on, I'll take you to have a look."

Shan Yangze turned his head and gave the governor a wink, and followed the old man to the mausoleum.

It’s just that General Zhou’s eyes were sharp. When he saw that Shan Yangze was about to leave, he immediately dragged the condemned prisoner to follow. The governor was a little worried when he saw this. Also followed.
