Chapter 18 Immortal Zhuge Arrives! (Please collect it, vote for me, recommend me, and read more)

On the eighth day of the second lunar month in the fifth year of Daoguang's reign, many officials and Taoists had gathered outside the Yingxian Gate of Bagua City, the capital of the Jin Empire! The Jingguan Pavilion and colorful painted archway were also built ten miles outside the city in accordance with regulations. This

The set of rules were brought all the way from Shengjing and Beijing. According to the old rules, when an imperial minister returns to Beijing or an envoy from a higher state (Da Ming Dynasty, Rakshasa) arrives, he must be greeted with a grand ceremony. However, with the financial development of the Jin Empire,

With the increasing scarcity, these welcome and send-off etiquettes gradually became less and less popular.

But I don’t know who is coming today? That stingy fat Daoguang is actually willing to put on such a big show. Starting from dawn, officers and soldiers from the guard camp wearing New Army uniforms came to maintain the battle with old-fashioned front-loaded rifled guns.

Order. After some time, dozens of cavalrymen wearing Eight Banners cotton-padded armor came, carrying colorful flags to act as a spectacle. The sun gradually rose, and there were still high-ranking officials wearing flower feathers or Taoist robes whisking the dust.

Master, come here.

Many bannermen and common people living in Bagua City were also attracted by this lively scene, and gathered together to watch the excitement. They watched and chatted with each other.

"Look, look! Mu Zhongtang is here! Who is the female crown next to him? She looks like a fairy. She can't really be a fairy from the sky, right?"

"Looking at her dress and appearance, she must be a fairy from the Nalan family. She should come from Yingxian Temple on Tianshan Mountain, right?"

"The fairy from Yingxian Temple is a bloodline of the Nalan family, and she seems to be a female concubine. She looks really good. I wonder who can be her double monk? It can't be Mu Zhongtang, right?"

"How is that possible? It's enough for such a fairy to enter the palace and serve the emperor. How can Mu Zhongtang take his turn?"

"Perhaps Mu Zhongtang has made some great achievements. The emperor made the decision and gave him a double monk?"

"What a great achievement that is!"

These words really sound like they are in the world of cultivating immortals. I really don’t know how King Zhuge Wuzhong taught Nalan Mingzhu, a good disciple?

"Look, isn't that the embassy's four-wheeled carriage? The embassy carriages from the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty came together. Isn't that to welcome the distinguished guests from the great powers?"

"The embassy carriages from the two countries have arrived together. What is the status of this distinguished guest? No wonder it alarmed the fairy of the Nalan family."

"But what does this have to do with fairies? Is it possible?"

Some well-trained banner men also tried their best to gain friendship with the Eight Banners soldiers riding tall horses, and asked in a low voice: "Which country's distinguished guest are you welcoming?"

The soldiers of the Eight Banners also looked mysterious and mysterious: "It's incredible! This time we are picking up He Zhongtang, Rakshasa Grand Duke Natalie and Zhuge family's immortal Na Rakshasa Grand Duke still wants to be the Empress of the Ming Dynasty.

of!"

"A Rakshasa girl becomes the Empress of the Ming Dynasty? Is there such a thing?"

"It's unmistakable. This was probably calculated by the great immortal of the Zhuge family!"

The bannermen in Dongwen were all devout Taoists. When they heard the great immortal from the Zhuge family, their eyes widened with anticipation: "That's really eye-opening!"

Like these banner men, who are full of expectations for the great immortal of the Zhuge family, there is also Nalandi, the fairy of the Nalan family. The Nalan family has been "cultivating immortals" since the Nalan Pearl went west. In fact, it is not a big deal.

The Kingdom of Jin had nothing else to do. The Rakshasa in the west and the Ming Dynasty in the east were not something the Jin Empire could deal with. India in the south was relatively weak at the time, but not many people followed Kangxi back then - in Changda

During the decades of tug-of-war between the Ming and Qing dynasties, Manchuria also suffered huge population losses. In the end, it was only by joining forces with the Junggar Mongols that they were able to take over Central Asia. Since the two families joined forces, of course there was bound to be some internal fighting.

.

The theme of the internal struggle is the "Controversy between Immortals and Buddhas". Galdan himself is the "Buddha". If Kangxi wants to worship Buddha, it will be over, so he can only cultivate immortals. And Nalan Mingzhu, who has returned from learning scriptures from King Zhuge Wuzhong, naturally

He became the number one "immortal" under Kangxi.

This battle between immortals and Buddhas may seem boring, but in fact it is a struggle to determine belief - whether Central Asia is a Taoist world, a paradise for Buddhism, or the home of the Tianfang Sect, you have to look at this battle between immortals and Buddhas.

The result is.

And the Nalan family is backed by the Zhuge family who can do calculations, and has the blessing of the royal family of the Jin Empire. Coupled with the powerful methods of Nalan Mingzhu and Nalan Rongruo, two generations of "immortals", they will naturally win this fight.

.

By 1826, although the "immortals" had not yet taken over the entire Central Asia, the Wuji Valley, the ruling center of the Jin Empire, and the Kazakh grassland area in the north of the Jin Empire had long been the "immortal world."

Zhuge Weidao, who entered the Jin Empire on a horse-drawn sleigh, had his eyes opened along the way. For the first time, he knew that Taoism could actually have fun!

The nomadic tribes he met on the grassland were all worshiping the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty. In each tribe, there were several Taoist priests and aunts who had practiced immortality on the Tianshan Mountains to lead everyone in "cultivating immortality". If they found someone who "cultivated immortality"

For good seedlings, we will also recommend them to go to the Taoist temple in Wuji Valley for further training. If they perform well in the Taoist temple in Wuji Valley, they can even go to Tianshan Mountain to practice!

And after cultivating immortality, you can still serve as an official in the court!

In short, in this Golden Empire, if there are no serious Eight Banners disciples (cannot be mixed Eight Banners), then work hard to "cultivate immortality", maybe you can really change your destiny.

The Taoist method of cultivating immortality in the Jin Empire is also quite interesting. It does not involve cultivating inner and outer elixirs, nor does it take drugs to upgrade, but there are two ways. One is to practice divination and fortune-telling. If you practice mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid of divination and fortune-telling;

The second is dual cultivation - combining men and women, isn't it tiring to cultivate immortality?

The former is the promotion path for "monks". If ordinary people want to stand out in the Jin Empire, they have to take the "Imperial Examination for Immortal Cultivation". The main tests are fortune telling, Xian Bagu articles and mathematical knowledge - the Zhuge family highly respects mathematics.

Transformation is obviously very important, so the "immortals" of the Golden Empire must also learn from it. The best of these immortals can calculate, formula, and equation at the fingertips.

The latter is used to cultivate the "bloodline of monks". According to the research of two "immortals" Nalan Mingzhu and Nalan Rongruo, whether fortune-telling and immortal cultivation are good or not has a lot to do with "bloodline"

, Otherwise, why would the Zhuge family have so many "immortals"?

This shows that King Wu Zhong had "true immortal blood" and passed it on to his descendants, which is why their descendants are so powerful.

As for the "immortals" of the Jin Empire who do not have the blood of Zhuge, they can only choose "monks" with "excellent bones" to practice the art of double cultivation. And the criterion for having excellent bones is, of course, being beautiful.

"True Immortal Bloodline."

Zhuge Weidao, who was walking side by side with He Shen and Zhongtang on the official road to the west of Bagua City, had just finished listening to He Zhongtang's explanation of the Taoist theory of immortality in the Jin Empire, and he also heard for the first time that he had "true immortal blood"

He seems to be deep in thought about the matter - there seems to be some true immortal blood!

A soul that traveled through time and space, isn't it the so-called true immortal bloodline?

Didn't King Wuzhong's "immortal magic" come from his soul that traveled through time?

"And I," Zhuge Weidao thought, "I also have a soul that traveled through time. This is the bloodline of true immortals! And two true immortals appeared in a Zhuge family. Is this just a coincidence? Maybe it is really related to bloodline.

Maybe people from the Zhuge family are particularly prone to time travel? Or is there some kind of providence somewhere along the way?"

While he was thinking deeply, Heshen and Zhongtang, who were good at observing words and emotions, also saw the clues. This was really a "true immortal blood"! No wonder he had been practicing for a lifetime and became the number one fortune teller in the Golden Empire.

The divination is not very accurate. It is impossible to know that the surname is Aixinjueluo just by looking at the child Sushun. It turns out that the problem lies in the bloodline!

Thinking of this, He Shen turned around and looked at Zhuge Weidao carefully - the more he looked at it, the more he looked like an immortal!

This bloodline is reliable!

While both of them were thinking about it, fairy-like music suddenly sounded in front of them.

Zhuge Weidao was stunned for a moment, and then came out of his thoughts. He looked up and found that a rather spectacular castle had appeared on the horizon ahead of him, and he could vaguely see various colorful flags fluttering in the wind.

"Junior Brother Daozi, Bagua City has arrived!" He Shen's voice rang in Zhuge Weidao's ears, "It seems that the Emperor has welcomed Junior Brother as a distinguished guest!"

"For me?" Zhuge Weidao was stunned again, "Shouldn't it be for the Grand Duchess Natalie? She is the candidate for the Empress of the Ming Dynasty!"

He Shen stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "Junior brother is different. The leader of our Jin Empire worships the immortal way. Junior brother has the blood of Zhuge Immortal King and is extremely talented in the immortal way. In the future, he will definitely become an immortal master of the Zhuge family. Naturally,

The emperor pays more attention to her than the Empress of Ming Dynasty who has no real power."

"This King Wuzhong is quite bad!" Zhuge Wei said in his heart. "The Qing Dynasty is so bad that he turned it into a civilization of cultivating immortals!"

Seeing Zhuge Weidao not saying a word, He Shenyou approached him with a mysterious and evil smile on his face: "Junior Brother Daozi, Emperor Daoguang knew that you encountered a bottleneck and forgot something, so he prepared it for you.

A furnace that can help break through bottlenecks is the best! Hehehehe."

"There is also a furnace." Zhuge Weidao thought to himself: "This King Wu Zhong must have liked novels about cultivating immortals before he traveled through time, right? It seems that he and I are contemporaries!"

Thinking of this, he turned his head and said to He Shen with a serious face: "Senior Brother He, I understand Emperor Daoguang's kindness, but I am not good at it."

Zhuge Weidao is really not interested in the furnace, because he hasn't taken Natalie into his mouth yet!

Along the way, Natalie was watched very closely by Aunt Shasha. Moreover, everyone was busy on their way, and Zhuge Weidao really had no chance to make a move - the Ming Dynasty Embassy in Petersburg sent many people to accompany them, and

Heshen's people followed, and Zhuge said goodbye to Natalie. It was inconvenient even to hug her, so she could only look at her and express affection. It was really uncomfortable!

"What? You don't do this well?" He Shen was a little stunned, thinking: "Are you really bad at this, or are you just being polite? If you really don't do this, then it won't be easy.

Yes. Dual cultivation must be between a man and a woman. Two men cannot do it, and they cannot cultivate 'Little Zhuge'!"

Zhuge Weidao said at this time: "Besides, I am quite tired after walking all the way. Now I just want to find a quiet place and rest for ten days and a half."

You need a clean place to start!

He Shen understood again, and immediately said with a sinister smile: "Okay, Fairy Nalan's Yingxian Pavilion in Bagua City is a pure place, and it is quiet in the middle of the noise, and it is also very close to the Ming Dynasty Embassy. It is just right for Junior Brother Daozi

Stay with Grand Duchess Natalie and rest."

Zhuge Weidao was overjoyed when he heard this. He smiled and said to He Shen, "Okay, then you'll have some work."
