Chapter 101 Qi Shenxian
Zhu Youxiao's hopes were probably not very strong either.
The imperial court emphasizes balance.
He did a pretty good job in this regard in the past few years, with both the Donglin Party and the eunuch party among the cabinet ministers. However, since last year, the eunuch party has become the dominant force, which is obviously a mistake.
Therefore, the cabinet ministers on duty today have all rushed over, not to accuse Wei Zhongxian of isolating the inside from the outside world, but simply to keep watch.
Inside the West Warm Pavilion.
Since Qi Ming had made the selection, and Wei Zhongxian had approved it, Lady Ke, the Lady of the Imperial Household, dared not object. Zhang Yan personally helped Zhu Youxiao sit up, and then she asked curiously:
"Dr. Qi, what should I do next?"
She can use either "吾" or "我" to refer to herself. To be more formal, she can refer to herself as "臣妾" (your subject) when addressing the emperor, and "予" (I) in imperial edicts.
In her eyes, Qi Ming, though not a celestial being, was still an extraordinary person, which made her trust him a lot at first sight.
However, there was one thing: Qi Ming's unbridled gaze secretly annoyed her.
She became empress at the age of fifteen and is only in her early twenties now, so it's not surprising that she minds this matter.
Qi Ming said solemnly, "Next, you will lift the emperor's arms."
Zhang Yan did as she was told.
Qi Ming took out two strands of red rope, each about the thickness of chopsticks, and channeled some of his inner energy to wrap one of them around Zhu Youxiao. At the same time, he gestured with his lips, indicating that Zhang Yan should move aside.
Zhang Yan blushed and quickly stepped aside.
At that moment, Zhu Youxiao woke up, his face showing fear.
Qi Ming explained with a smile, "I possess three volumes of true teachings. The first is the Nine Yang True Scripture. Once mastered, one will be immune to external evils and poisons, possess boundless strength, and have the power to swallow mountains and rivers. Even alone with a single sword, one can roam the world and regard a million-strong army as nothing more than chickens and dogs!"
"The second is the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, a supreme and wondrous method for both men and women to practice. After mastering it, one can remain forever young, prolong life, and possess boundless power, killing enemies as easily as cutting grass!"
"The third is the 'Celestial Freedom Chapter'! It seizes the creation of heaven and earth and delves into the mysteries of the sun and moon. After mastering it, one can rejuvenate once every thirty years, and so on in endless cycles, achieving immortality and joining the ranks of immortals!"
"Which of these three volumes of immortal techniques does the Emperor wish to learn?"
Zhu Youxiao said hoarsely, "I...I want to learn them all!"
"No!"
Qi Ming's expression changed, and he said, "To impart the immortal techniques of the Human King is a grave taboo! I am already bestowing upon you the first volume of the Nine Yang True Scripture to help you cure your illness; this is already an immense act of divine grace. You must not be greedy!"
"Immortal Master..."
Before Zhu Youxiao could speak, Qi Ming flicked the red rope, lifting him upside down and shouting:
"Keep your mind focused, and I will help you gain good fortune!"
After saying that, he began to glow.
Zhang Yan, Wei Zhongxian, and Madam Ke were completely dumbfounded!
The tofu seller was also confused.
Aren't immortals all alchemists? Like Tao Shenxian from the Jiajing era of the Shizong era…
Why did they start using special effects and tricks when it came to Qi Shenxian?
Qi Ming ignored them, and after gathering his breath for a while, he let Zhu Youxiao's buttocks press down on his head.
"Ahhh..."
Zhu Youxiao cried out in surprise, but found that it didn't hurt at all; instead, it felt as comfortable as taking a bath.
"As the Nine Yangs first appear, the meridians flow in reverse, and the Qi from the Dantian circulates throughout the entire body..."
As Qi Ming spoke, he turned the marionette Zhu Youxiao over and used another red rope to open five acupoints on him, including Yangchi and Xuehai.
"Oh, that feels so good..."
Zhu Youxiao lay comfortably on the dragon bed.
Qi Ming said calmly, "I helped you master the first volume of the Nine Yang Manual, and your typhoid fever is cured! Don't take any more medicine or elixirs. Just eat more fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy products. Don't bother with any delicacies."
Zhu Youxiao is said to have recovered after falling into the water, but later he took an elixir and died... It's possible he was poisoned.
Mrs. Ke emphasized, "My God, this milk is..."
"Not human."
Qi Ming explained, "Oxen are much stronger than humans. They can just drink milk. Don't mistreat innocent women. That would be against the natural order and might even bring divine retribution."
Ms. Ke was quite resentful.
She mainly wanted to emphasize her contribution to Zhu Youjian's health...
Zhang Yan was very happy.
If Madam Ke could find Wei Zhongxian to assist her, she could find all the immortals!
Upon hearing this conversation, Zhu Youxiao quickly got out of bed, bowed, and said:
"Immortal Master! This disciple is beginning! This disciple is single-mindedly seeking the Dao, please have mercy, Immortal Master..."
Qi Ming waved his hand and said, "Human kings cannot cultivate immortality; this is an ironclad law of heaven. Begging me won't help. I'm leaving now. Old Wei, make the arrangements; those brothels in the Jiaofangsi will be mine from now on!"
After saying that, he pulled Qin away.
Zhu Youxiao hurriedly followed, pleading earnestly:
"Immortal Master, Immortal Master, please wait! I, Xiaozhi, am determined to pursue the Dao and would rather abdicate..."
Qi Ming said in a deep voice, "As the ruler of a country, you bear the hopes of the world. How can you simply abandon your responsibilities? Focus on governing the country first! If you can bring about a prosperous era where the people live in peace and contentment, then I will pass on the immortal arts to you and teach you immortality... This is necessary. Otherwise, if you rely on the immortal arts to become a tyrant, who can stop you?"
As they spoke, they arrived outside the warm pavilion.
"You too must dedicate yourself to your duties and truly keep the well-being of the majority of the people in the world in mind!"
Qi Ming then said to Lao Wei, "I have another secret technique that can repair damage and restore what is missing. If you do it well, I can pass it on to you so that you can grow back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Qin and jumped onto the roof. Then, with the grace of an immortal, he drifted away to the west.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Immortal Master!"
Zhu Youxiao bowed, then looked at Wei Zhongxian, his heart burning with desire:
"Where does the immortal master reside? And what's the deal with the brothels under the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau)?"
The cabinet ministers haven't arrived yet!
The fact that it took so long further proves that the magic is incredibly effective and truly genuine!
Wei Zhongxian honestly recounted everything he knew.
Zhu Youxiao muttered to himself, "Could it be that the Immortal Master cultivates the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra? No, he must know it all, especially the Heavenly Wandering Chapter, which restores youth..."
He then instructed Wei Zhongxian: "Immediately hand over all brothels under the jurisdiction of the Jiaofangsi to Master Qi for management... Issue another edict to appoint him as the Grand Master Protector of the Nation!"
Wei Zhongxian gladly accepted the order.
He wasn't stupid enough to be jealous of Qi Shenxian's favor; those immortals wouldn't even bother with them!
Zhang Yan kept all the information Wei Zhongxian had said in her heart.
That evening, she sent a message to Zhang Guoji, the Earl of Taikang, instructing him to send someone to the clinic to deliver a gift. If no one was there, the gift should be sent to the tofu shop across the street.
Almost everyone who received the news, including Madam Ke, Wei Zhongxian, and the eunuch faction, was in an uproar!
Xinwangfu.
"A god...a deity descended to earth and cured my brother?!"
Upon hearing the news, Prince Xin, Zhu Youjian, was completely dumbfounded.
Lu Wenzhao, the senior disciple of the monk Jiaqian Jushi, suggested, "Your Highness, it's said that the sorcerer went to Nuanxiang Pavilion. I'll send my junior sister there to investigate!"
magician?
Prince Xin had regained his composure and calmly said, "Deal with Guo Zhen first."
The ship that capsized during Zhu Youxiao's reign was built under the supervision of Guo Zhen.
Lu Wenzhao responded and then asked:
"On Wei's side..."
Prince Xin sized him up a few times, then said meaningfully, "No rush, take your time."
If his brother doesn't die, he'll still have a chance to become a deity.
Those damned people are Lu Wenzhao and others who know the truth.
