Chapter 18 Is the Immortal Elder willing to be the National Teacher?
Chapter 18: Is the Immortal Chief willing to be the National Preceptor?
King Zhou was a born winner in life. He was born with fine clothes and good food. He practiced calligraphy and martial arts since he was a child. He even had the feat of supporting beams and pillars to roof pavilions.
He is not an incompetent and foolish king in the usual sense. On the contrary, he is very smart, but he loves beauty more than he loves the country.
King Zhou had qualified IQ and judgment. When he saw Yun Zhongzi performing immortal Taoism in an understatement, he made up his mind to take this person for his own use.
"Is the Immortal Chief willing to be the National Preceptor?"
King Zhou didn't know that the monster Yun Zhongzi wanted to get rid of was his beloved concubine, otherwise he would definitely not have said this.
Yun Zhongzi was shocked. Shouldn't this line be left to Shen Gongbao? Why did it fall on me?
He was stunned and did not escape immediately.
The ministers did not have much favorable impressions of this Taoist who appeared out of thin air. Only Huang Feihu looked thoughtfully outside the palace, while Shang Rong Bigan began to wonder who the "monster" was.
At this moment, on the upper floor of the branch palace, the giant sword displayed its divine power.
This sword was destined not to be a killing sword since it was born. Yun Zhongzi never thought that he could kill the nearly immortal fox demon of thousands of years with the giant sword.
The giant sword has been roasted by the true fire of Samadhi for many days, and has been tempered by the teachings of Taoism. It can naturally defeat evil spirits.
Although this sword alone cannot kill the fox demon, it can unleash the invisible sword energy and Tao energy, wiping away the fox demon's Taoism.
Daji soon noticed the clues. She pressed her palms on the two lumps of grease and cried out in pain.
The accompanying maids knew that this was King Zhou's favorite thing, and they dared not neglect it. They quickly went to ask the imperial doctor, but Daji's disease was not a human disease, and the imperial doctor could not do anything.
The maids were afraid that King Zhou would be angry afterwards, so they hurriedly went to the Jinluan Palace to complain, not caring whether they broke the rules.
King Zhou was trying his best to persuade Yun Zhongzi to become the advisor of the Great Shang Dynasty. Huang Feihu had seen a man with special skills. He knew that this man had real abilities, so he also persuaded him to stay.
Yun Zhongzi knew that Huang Feihu was a famous person on the list and would be named Emperor Dongyue in the future, with a high and powerful position. He intended to make friends with him, so he did not run away immediately.
Daji's maidservant ran all the way and finally arrived outside the Jinluan Palace. She quickly explained the whole story to the eunuch, who did not dare to neglect it, and soon the news reached the ears of King Zhou.
"What? My beloved concubine is heartbroken?"
King Zhou immediately gave up all thoughts of recruiting Yun Zhongzi and only wanted to see how Daji was doing.
He did not connect the two incidents of Yun Zhongzi hanging the sword and Daji's heartache, because in his heart, Daji could never be a demon.
Shang Rong and Bigan looked at each other. They looked in the direction of Yun Zhongzi, and there seemed to be speculation in their minds.
After Daji entered the palace, King Zhou had no interest in government affairs at all, and Bigan and other senior ministers who had helped the country could not bear to look at him for a long time.
Now Yun Zhongzi offered his sword to slay the demon, and Daji happened to have something unusual, which made them suspicious.
Is it possible that Su Hu's daughter is really a monster? Otherwise, how could she have fascinated the Marquis of Jizhou and King Zhou successively?
"Your Majesty, I have heard that many qi practitioners have magical elixirs. I see that Taoist Master Zhongzi of Guanyun has extraordinary powers. Why not invite him to the harem to diagnose and treat the empress?"
Bigan held the tooth wat in his hand, walked out of the train, and presented the memorial.
Yun Zhongzi still had a gentle smile on his face, but there was a turmoil in his heart.
Didn’t you say that after you present the sword, I won’t have anything to do with you? Daji, you are a thousand-year-old fox demon after all. I just hung up the sword, why can’t you stand it?
Yun Zhongzi had mixed feelings, but he ignored one thing: he was not the original him, and the Juque Sword was not the original Juque Sword.
The giant sword was originally just a piece of dead pine, but he started it seriously. He used the best materials and even used the Taoism of the two religions. The power of the sword was naturally improved in all aspects.
King Zhou was usually most annoyed by Bigan and Shang Rong's verbosity, but now it was as if he heard fairy voices. He suddenly reacted and strode off the stage, clutching Yun Zhongzi's sleeves.
"Immortal, I will leave my beloved concubine to you."
When Yun Zhongzi heard this, his head was as big as a bucket. It was strange to hear these words.
King Zhou didn't care so much and dragged Yun Zhongzi to the harem.
Yun Zhongzi originally wanted to break free and leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, King Zhou was the emperor of the world, and his luck was overwhelming, which made his magic power flow slowly.
This is the power of the human race's luck. If you don't see it, even after Nuwa was humiliated, she couldn't kill the King of Shang immediately. She could only send three demons to cause chaos, and wait for King Wu to defeat Zhou before the Shang Dynasty could be destroyed.
Yun Zhongzi was dragged into the harem. He could feel that the evil spirit was getting stronger and stronger, which made him a little worried.
After all, Daji's illness was a good thing he did. If he really fell out, he might not be able to prevail in his current state.
Just as he was thinking about it, King Zhou had already brought him into Daji's palace.
Before seeing the true appearance of the fox demon, I could already hear the voice crying out in pain... such as resentment, admiration, weeping and complaining, which is breathtaking.
King Zhou opened the bead curtain and walked in beside Daji. Until this moment, he was still holding Yun Zhongzi's sleeve.
"How is my beloved concubine?"
King Zhou frowned, feeling quite sad.
Daji leaned on the collapse, her delicate face distorted by pain, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She seemed to be in real pain. She curled up and clenched her teeth, unable to answer King Zhou.
Yun Zhongzi stood aside and watched with cold eyes.
He could see that this goblin had not harmed his roots, but that his aura was slightly turbulent, and he didn't know why he pretended to be like this.
When King Zhou saw Daji suffering, everything inside him was burned for a moment. Only then did he think of Yun Zhongzi behind him.
"The Taoist Master has great supernatural powers, please take action to save my beloved concubine."
King Zhou finally realized that he was still holding Yun Zhongzi's sleeve, so he let go and begged.
"Don't worry, King Shang, and let the poor Taoist diagnose your empress's pulse."
Yun Zhongzi couldn't figure out Daji's thoughts, but at this point, he could only bite the bullet and treat her.
King Zhou quickly stood up and gave way.
Daji screamed in pain several times, and her face became increasingly pale.
Yun Zhongzi mustered up his energy and secretly operated the Eight-nine Mysterious Skills and Yuxu Method. The forty-nine flying swords in his sleeves were ready to go, and the true fire of Samadhi in his mouth had been accumulated.
He then stretched out his hand and placed it on Daji's three meridians of Cun Guan Chi.
Daji turned sideways, her eyebrows were as dark as black, but she could not hide the look of pain.
King Zhou thought that Daji's illness was getting worse, so he became more and more anxious.
Yun Zhongzi closed his eyes and checked his pulse quietly. Unexpectedly, Daji secretly used demonic energy to flow from the Dantian through the meridians and out of the wrist.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. Your Majesty is in good health and has no symptoms. In my opinion, this is a witchcraft."
Yun Zhongzi mobilized all his magic power to suppress the demonic aura calmly and prevent Daji from being evil. He opened his eyes and said to King Zhou.
"Witchcraft? Who is so bold as to practice such evil in the palace? I wonder if there is a way to break it?"
King Zhou was angry and anxious, pacing back and forth outside the bead curtain.
"A poor man with no talent will be able to crack this technique."
Yun Zhongzi suddenly let go of his hand, and the forty-nine flying swords in his sleeves turned into streams of light and flew out, stabbing Daji's right arm.
