Chapter 372 Li Er was Shocked, He Really Was a God
Li Er was shocked.
Is it possible that this one-in-a-million chance has happened to me again?
It was because of the snowstorm that I met a talented person like Xiandi.
Now that there is a locust plague, the wise brother has no idea to help him solve it.
And now in Chang'an City, another Taoist priest with such extraordinary abilities has arrived.
Hearing these things, Li Er felt happy.
Now it seems that God has blessed us in the Tang Dynasty. God has blessed us in the Tang Dynasty.
However, even though he is an emperor, he does not have the wisdom to transcend this time period.
Hearing what the guard said, he was also shocked.
It is said that nothing happens when you enter the oil pan, and everything about the hot oil is displayed in front of everyone, without any falsehood.
Let me ask you, if this is not an old god, what is this?
There is also the matter of the immortal water. Originally, I had no hope of becoming an immortal after being told that by my virtuous brother.
The appearance of this old god today made Li Er's eyes become fiery again.
Could it be that the question of seeking immortality is true and that I still have a chance?
"Your Majesty, people have been brought here!"
"Oh, please come quickly, please come quickly!"
Li Er couldn't wait to stand up. Every critical moment, someone would always appear to help me, Datang. How unhappy was Li Er?
In order to show that I value talents, I stood up from my seat to greet him.
The moment he just stood up, the Taoist leader slowly walked in under the leadership of the guards.
I saw Li Er standing above.
Seeing His Majesty above, he saluted and shouted, "Infinite Heavenly Lord."
"Come and give me a seat."
What he had just done had already reached Li Er's ears.
Call someone directly, prepare a chair, let them sit aside, and have a good chat with yourself.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The topics we talked about were basically simple ones.
Where did this Taoist priest come from, where did he go, and some questions about his practice.
The old Taoist priest told the story one by one.
After hearing what he said, Li Er concluded that this man was definitely an accomplished person.
As we chatted, we talked about what had just happened.
Regarding the oil pan, upon hearing His Majesty's inquiry, the old man smiled slightly and said something very calmly.
"Your Majesty, these are all small roads, nothing compared to the real road.
The real Tao focuses on the method of cultivation.
And what I said and did was very simple.
Compared with the real cultivation method, one is heaven and the other is earth."
Immediately afterwards, I talked about some things I thought were superior.
And the majesty in front of me didn't understand.
Just as he thought, after talking for a long time, His Majesty could not understand a word.
But the more this happens, the more excited the whole person becomes.
From the looks of it, what he said must be true.
"Taoist Master, if you practice these techniques, can you live forever?"
Upon hearing the question asked by the Holy Master in front of him, the Taoist priest tensed up.
This problem may seem simple on the surface, but it actually contains a murderous intent.
If you say something wrong, you will definitely be in big trouble.
Thinking of these things he had thought of and the people's evaluation of the current saint, he thought quickly.
The Taoist priest stood up and bowed.
Shaked his head.
"Your Majesty, I will speak frankly.
The so-called art of immortality is absolutely impossible.
If someone tells Your Majesty that he can live forever, he must be a liar.
To use this method to deceive the current Holy Emperor is to be punished.
Since the pre-Qin Dynasty, many emperors have thought about immortality.
Emperor Qin wanted to live forever, sought elixirs, and the art of immortality, but failed in the end.
During the Han Dynasty, the emperor also hoped to seek the art of immortality, but where was the so-called art of immortality?
The techniques of immortality and immortality are all used to deceive people. Please don't believe them, Your Majesty.
I have been practicing for so long, but now I can only understand the Eight Diagrams of Yin and Yang and the art of immortality, but I can never do it.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
I just want to swindle some money. What am I doing? I know nothing about the art of immortality.
If I understood this, I would have already made some money and sought a place to live forever. Why would I still use this method to cheat money?
Besides, if you say a thousand words and ten thousand things, you have just told this lie.
Everyone who is the emperor wants to live forever. If they just leave themselves in the palace, they will not be allowed to go out.
When the matter is exposed, there will be no escape.
There is absolutely no need to cause yourself such unnecessary trouble!
"Hahahaha, okay, Taoist priest, I was just joking with you.
Of course I know that there is no way to live forever in this world.
In fact, what I just told you was just to see what the Taoist Master is capable of.
If the Taoist priest says you can live forever, I will definitely send people to drag you out and chop you down directly.
If you dare to lie in front of me, you will end up badly."
"Your Majesty, a wise man never lies or deceives anyone."
While he was speaking forcefully and calmly, his heart was racing.
"It's okay, it's okay, I was almost exposed.
Fortunately, I stuck to the final bottom line, otherwise I would have been dead."
On the other hand, Li Er also took a deep breath in his heart.
I was slapped in the face, I was deeply slapped in the face. I originally thought that I would be able to obtain the art of immortality again.
Who knew that in the end, it would still be a dream.
My dear brother is right, stop fantasizing about the art of immortality.
However, even though the Taoist priest in front of him does not know the art of immortality, he can handle the locust plague and accumulate great reputation for himself.
Thinking of this, Li Er smiled.
"Taoist Priest, you should also know why I sent someone to arrange for you to come to the palace.
I also sent people to see what you were doing in Chang'an City."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty will do whatever you want the old man to do, even if it means going up a mountain of swords and into a sea of fire.
A seasoned person won’t frown!"
"Hey, how can I be willing to let the Taoist priest go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of fire?
I just hope that the Taoist Master can use his magic to directly eliminate this locust plague."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter is trivial!"
Li Er smiled again.
Just follow the narrow path, just follow the narrow path, as long as you can solve the problem, everything else is just a cloud.
"Taoist Priest, what you just heard about, can you personally demonstrate it to me?
I will ask someone to prepare an iron pot with hot oil and let the Taoist master show his magical power."
Hearing what others said, Li Er didn't believe it unless he saw it.
As the saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is belief, so it is okay to let him show it in person.
Hearing what the Holy Sage said, the old Taoist felt his whole body tense up.
If these things from the court are used and have not been processed by myself, after this set of procedures, I will not be allowed to go to the West directly? I just want to cheat some money, but I don’t want to die!
"Infinite Heavenly Lord.
Logically, the old Taoist should show it to His Majesty, but today, all the techniques practiced by the old Taoist have been blessed.
Today's skill is not enough and I may not be able to show it to His Majesty.
If your Majesty allows it, after a few days, when the old Taoist recovers, he will come to the palace in person to show it to Your Majesty, and please forgive me."
If you can take advantage, take advantage. If you can't take advantage, just run away. It's useless to talk too much. This is the way to win.
Now it seems that I can't get any benefits here, so I'd better run away first.
Otherwise, if something happens, you won't be able to run away even if you want to.
You should speak sincerely and stand firm when being beaten. This has always been my philosophy.
Now that I see this big shot, my words and deeds must conform to this set of ideals.
Li Er was stunned for a moment when he heard what he said.
She raised her head and glanced at him. She said, "Don't hit the smiling person with your hand, especially when this old man said so."
I couldn't even do anything to him. Is it possible that just because someone said he couldn't do it, he pushed him out and chopped him up? Wouldn't this make him a fool?
"Master Taoist, would you like to know more about this locust plague?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry about this locust plague.
It is a matter for Your Majesty and for the people of the Tang Dynasty. I will do my best to help Your Majesty.
Help the court and help the people of the Tang Dynasty!"
Look at what people say, he is neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither humble nor overbearing, and he has the appearance of a superior man. He is indeed a superior man.
"If that's the case, then I will arrange for the Taoist priest to go deal with the locust plague as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this kind of matter is handled by the old man, and he will do his best to deal with it.
In this case, the old Taoist thought of returning to the inn first, resting for a day and regaining his strength.
Come back to the palace the day after tomorrow and obey His Majesty’s instructions.”
Although he was extremely reluctant to give up, Li Er could only sigh helplessly.
Since others have already spoken so grandly, it stands to reason that there is no need for me to say anything more.
"Come here, send the Taoist priest to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"In this case, the old Taoist will retire first, Immeasurable Heavenly Lord."
While saying this, the veteran prepared to retreat quickly.
On the surface he looks very calm, but in his heart he is very panicked.
If you slip up or say something wrong, you may definitely be detained in the court.
If he was left in this palace, he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to.
So, take this opportunity and run away if you should.
After all, this old emperor doesn't seem to be very shrewd and is very easy to deceive.
Otherwise, I might really end up explaining it here.
After I go back this time, I have to leave as soon as possible overnight.
There is a lot of money to be made in Chang'an City, but the risks are also high.
Withdraw first, withdraw.
While thinking about it, he hurriedly left behind the guards, fearing that if he was slow and various situations arise, he would definitely have to explain it here.
While saying this in his heart, he quickly left again.
Walking out of the hall, on the way to the palace gate, I thought to myself, I have made money, made money, and this time I have made a lot of money.
Go back and retreat first. Although I say I am greedy, I also understand that greed cannot bite off more than it can chew.
You can ask for it when you need it, but retreat when you shouldn't.
I still know this truth when I come back to do things again when I have the opportunity in the future.
Two routes, when I was just on my way to the palace gate.
By coincidence, I happened to see Changsun Wuji and his party, and they quickly rushed in the direction of Tai Chi Hall.
The two people passed each other one after the other.
Changsun Wuji turned around and saw, isn't this that person?
Without saying anything else, he quickly entered the Tai Chi Hall, rushed to His Majesty, and reported the news to His Majesty.
"Auxiliary machine, you are here. By the way, you sent someone to tell the real news today.
This guy doesn't look like a charlatan, he does have some moral integrity.
I have brought him to the palace and met this man.
Now he has been sent back."
Upon hearing what His Majesty said, Changsun Wuji shouted repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, that man is a liar. He deceived me and the people of the Tang Dynasty, and now he has deceived Your Majesty.
Please also ask Your Majesty to capture that man."
"Liar, why did the auxiliary machine say this?"
Changsun Wuji quickly told them what happened next.
Taking advantage of the situation, they told the story about their meeting with Miss Linglong and Her Highness the Princess.
These so-called things were also said by Miss Linglong.
This exquisite girl can't use this matter to deceive herself, right?
It seems to be true, so that person is a liar.
After hearing this, Li Er's face changed drastically and he scolded angrily.
"It's really unreasonable to deceive others and deceive yourself.
Someone comes to tell me my will, bring them here, bring them back to the palace, and come to see me."
