Chapter 85: I heard that the Grand Master also recommended talents
Shortly after You Hun left, the chamberlain suddenly reported that the Grand Master had brought two wise men to meet him. Zhang Zixing was stunned, today is a talent exchange day? Even Wen Zhong came to join in the fun?
Wen Zhong brought two Taoist priests. Strictly speaking, one of them could not be regarded as a Taoist priest. He was ordinary in appearance. He was actually bald and wore a silver headband. Matching with the Taoist robe, he gave a strong impression.
Compared with this bald man with "unconventional clothing", the Taoist priest with a strange appearance and a whisk in his hand did not seem so special.
Zhang Zixing could tell from Wen Zhong's expression that these two people were no ordinary people, and asked politely: "These two Taoists... are extremely popular. When did the Grand Master recruit such high-ranking people?"
Wen Zhong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. These two are not the virtuous people you usually recruit. They are Taoist friends who have known each other for many years. I have heard about your Majesty's reputation for a long time, so I came here to pay you a special visit."
"Since he is a Taoist friend of the Grand Master, he must be a Taoist Golden Immortal. I would like to trouble the Grand Master to recommend him."
The Taoist priest did not wait for Wen Zhong's introduction, took the initiative to step forward, flicked his whisk, made a bow, and said loudly: "I am a poor Taoist, Shen Gongbao. I have admired the emperor's reputation for a long time. When I see him today, he is indeed extraordinary."
The bald man looked much more low-key: "Fajie has met His Majesty."
It was actually Shen Gongbao! Zhang Zixing was stunned, and the focus of his attention immediately turned to this "celebrity" who was granted the title of God.
Shen Gongbao is indeed a celebrity. In "The Romance of the Gods", Jiejiao and Chanjiao each have one of the biggest traitors, Chang Er Dingguangxian and Shen Gongbao. The former is a snob, and he sees that Jiejiao's spirit is gradually declining, so
At the critical moment, he stole the Six Soul Banner and offered it to the enemy as a surrender, and finally surrendered to the Western Cult. As for Shen Gongbao, he was determined to protect business and destroy Zhou from the beginning. If it weren't for the obstruction of the Antarctic Immortal, Jiang Ziya would have already
After being defeated by the bet, the list of gods was almost destroyed. Later, the perseverant Shen Gongbao resolutely stood on the opposite side of the teacher. He relied on his eloquence to create strong enemies for Jiang Ziya one after another, and even vowed to avenge his mother.
He persuaded Yin Hong in the suburbs of Yin to rebel. However, Shen Gongbao finally fulfilled his oath, filled the Eye of the North Sea, and was made a water-dividing general.
Although Shen Gongbao has always been regarded as a typical villain in the original book, even a bit like a clown, Zhang Zixing does not think so. Shen Gongbao can stick to his own opinions and is not afraid of force. Although the ending is a bit sad, he is definitely better than those who easily convert or who
Surrendering is much better. If you switch to the so-called "just" camp, you can become a well-known "martyr". This Taoist Shen's magic power is not outstanding, but there is one thing that is the best among the gods, and that is eloquence.
"Fellow Daoist, stay behind" is often better than thousands of troops. Many people in the Jiejiao religion clearly wanted to be alone and avoid being killed, but they were abducted by him and used as cannon fodder. The biggest reason why Zhang Zixing had a good impression of him was that Shen Gongbao was determined.
The only person who stands on the side of Dashang is the Chan Cult disciple.
Of course, now that we are reborn in this world where historical facts and fiction intersect, no one can predict what the future will be like, so we must seize every opportunity to increase our bargaining chips against destiny in the future.
It took Zhang Zixing a long time to come back to his senses and said: "It turns out to be Taoist Master Shen who explains the religion! I have heard about the famous name for a long time, and today I saw the real person. I was overjoyed for a moment. Please don't be surprised, Taoist Master!"
After Shen Gongbao introduced himself, he saw that the emperor was in a daze and thought he was being mocked. Now that he heard this explanation, his unhappiness immediately disappeared: "I don't dare to take it seriously! Your Majesty is indeed well-informed and knows that a poor Taoist disciple is just a man from the mountains.
How can I deserve such praise from His Majesty?"
"No need to be too humble, Taoist Master Shen. I have always heard that Taoist priests have great righteousness and good relationships all over the world. I am very happy to see you today." Zhang Zixing wanted to tie Shen Gongbao tightly to the chariot of Dashang, do what he wanted, and compliment him.
After a few words, Shen Gongbao didn't expect that the emperor would praise him so much, his face suddenly lit up with joy, and he felt like a close friend.
Zhang Zixing also did not neglect the other bald man, and the atmosphere between the guests and the host suddenly became harmonious. Although he momentarily thought of who this seemingly unknown Dharma Ring was, he had a super brain. From the super brain's information, he
After learning about Fa Jie's deeds in the novel, Zhang Zixing was surprised by one incident. This Fa Jie was also a guy of great value.
"I would like to ask Your Majesty, I heard that when the great merchants defeated Dongyi, all the divine bows and crossbows used were by your Majesty's skillful hands. Is this possible?" The Toutuo-like Dharma Master called himself "Pintao", which made Zhang Zixing stunned for a while.
, but he was overjoyed in his heart: Zhengchou had no excuse to keep this "Taoist priest", so it was a good thing that he took the initiative to send it to his door.
"It's just one of the weapons made by me. It needs a lot of improvement, which made the Taoist priest laugh."
Fa Jie heard the meaning of Zhang Zixing's words and said in surprise: "Those objects are so exquisite that I admire them so much. Could it be that your Majesty has other mysterious objects?"
"It seems that the Taoist Master is also a friend. I have a newly created blueprint for a rare weapon, and I would like to ask the Taoist Master for his advice." Zhang Zixing took out a roll of blueprints and handed them to Fajie. Fajie saw that he had obtained this blueprint from his magic bag.
What he took out, knowing that it was definitely not an ordinary thing, he quickly took it solemnly.
Fajie unfolded the drawings and browsed briefly. His squinted eyes suddenly opened, revealing a superb divine light, and his expression became extremely solemn. Later, the more he looked at it, the more he became immersed in it, and he even turned a deaf ear to the chatter and laughter of Zhang Zixing and the other two people.
"Father Fa Jie has always been obsessed with the study of skills, and even his practice has been neglected. He was reprimanded by the leader of the cult and almost expelled from the cult..." Wen Zhong looked at Fa Jie's appearance and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"As soon as this little drawing comes out, fellow Taoist Fajie will not leave even if they are rushed." Shen Gongbao said with a smile, and the wisdom he showed shocked Zhang Zixing. This is still the "clown" in the book.
? Fortunately, I didn’t believe all the novels.
"Everyone has his own good points. This is also due to chance." Zhang Zixing saw that Shen Gongbao's smile was kind and said: "Master Shen has profound Taoism, unparalleled wisdom, and extraordinary loyalty. We feel like old friends at the first sight. If it weren't for our special status,
, I really want to travel around the mountains and rivers with my fellow Taoists, smiling at the moon and the moon..."
"Your Majesty is the supreme being in the world. How can this make me so grateful? Thank you so much for your great love." Shen Gongbao noticed that the emperor called himself "fellow Taoist", and the smile on his face became thicker, and the emperor's next proposal made his heart beat.
"I plan to establish the post of National Preceptor, and I beg the Taoist Priest to submit. I wonder what the next one will do?"
"There has never been a national advisor in any dynasty. May I ask, Your Majesty, what is a state advisor?" Wen Zhong asked with interest.
Zhang Zixing gave the grand master a satisfied look and replied: "The national preceptor is the teacher of few people, and he is also the teacher of the world. The national preceptor is above the ministers and prime ministers. He does not need to manage politics on weekdays.
In the dynasty, you are free and contented, and you can pursue wealth, fame, and fortune at will, and you only need to give some advice when others are in doubt."
Although Shen Gongbao's expression remained unchanged, his slightly trembling whisk had betrayed his true mood. In fact, Shen Gongbao was not only excited about this position, but also about the words of Master Yuanshi Tianzun not long ago.
"Although there are many disciples under my sect, due to limited qualifications or opportunities, there are only a few who can finally achieve the great goal of immortality." Yuanshi Tianzun said to a group of disciples: "Although the killing calamity is coming, you don't need to panic, everything has its own destiny.
, those who are destined to meet the disaster, even if they hide deep in the cave, they cannot escape. There is another person under my sect who has a special encounter. This person plays a key role in the killing disaster, but he is not affected by the disaster. He can turn evil into good luck. Although he is destined to have no immortality,
However, you can enjoy the wealth and honor of the world peacefully..."
"Enjoy the wealth and honor of the world in peace"? No wonder the emperor has such a request. How can an ordinary person be qualified for the position of such a carefree and powerful national master? No wonder the master usually has a cold attitude towards me and treats him one-sidedly.
I understand that Master despises his origins in the demon race! As a saint, he naturally doesn’t value people who have “no connection with immortality”. From this point of view, who else has the “deep blessing” if it’s not me, Shen Gongbao?
Is it the arrogant Deng Hua? Maybe he is the idiot with poor qualifications who has only been in the mountain for a few decades? What a joke! Although his cultivation level cannot be compared with those guys with abnormal qualifications such as Guang Chengzi and Cihang Master, he can not get infected.
Killing the robbery and enjoying wealth and wealth from now on is also a good ending.
The more Shen Gongbao thought about it, the clearer it became that he was in the state of "Who else could he be without me?" He was about to agree, but was interrupted by Fa Jie: "Your Majesty, what is the name of this thing? It's so powerful!"
"The name of this thing is the bed crossbow. It uses a string of big wood as the bow and a feather spear as the arrow. It is fired by a machine and can shoot more than a thousand steps from a distance. It is divided into large and small. The small one requires six or seven people, and the large one requires more than a hundred people to carry it.
The use, aiming and firing are all done by dedicated personnel. The arrows used are made of wood as the shaft and the iron blades as feathers. They are like spears and are extremely destructive." Zhang Zixing smiled and said: "This is the highest military secret of our great businessman. I encountered it today.
An expert like Taoist Master will inevitably be delighted by the hunting spirit, so please correct me."
"A long shot of more than a thousand steps!" Wen Zhong took a breath, and even Shen Gongbao was a little shocked. What is this concept? At the current distance, more than a thousand steps is equivalent to 500-600 meters. Two meters under normal conditions
The military confrontation is no more than a hundred meters away. If you encounter a crossbow, you will probably suffer a devastating blow. Once such a terrible long-range weapon is used on a large scale, who can resist it? It is simply not something that the mortal world should have.
.
"I think there is still room for improvement in the mechanism. Once successful, the range and power can be doubled," Zhang Zixing's words once again trampled the conventional thinking of the three listeners.
Fa Jie suddenly slapped his head and started dancing, without any image of an outsider. He said excitedly: "If this thing is supplemented by the weapon refining technique in the immortal way, and then improved, wouldn't it be even more powerful? By then, thousands of arrows will be fired."
, can take human lives at will from miles away..."
Zhang Zixing was startled, and an idea flashed in his mind. It seemed that he had touched a new unknown field, combining the magic of immortality to refine weapons? Why had he never thought about this? Thinking of the deeds of Fa Jie in the book, his eyes couldn't help but shine brightly.
Sheng, it seems that he still underestimated the value of the Dharma Ring. From a certain perspective, the value of the Dharma Ring is still higher than Shen Gongbao!
