Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 245 Immortal Zhang, you might as well make a guess...

When Zhu Fen left Beijing, he thought Wudang Mountain was a land of immortals.But when he came to Wudang Mountain, he realized that the desolation and dilapidation of this place was not worthy of the word "immortal".

If there were not an endless stream of pilgrims going up the mountain, he would even suspect that he had gone to the wrong mountain gate.

Fortunately, Yu Lianzhou, the contemporary head of the Wudang School, is quite sensible, and gave him the highest standard of reception, and even gave him the quiet room where his master Zhang Sloppy used to live.

Zhu Bian felt that living in it seemed too condescending, so he declined politely if he was disrespectful to the real gods.

However, after living in a tent on the mountain for a few days, he really couldn't stand the morning and evening fog, so he moved in under Yu Lianzhou's repeated urging.

At this time, he didn't care about respect or disrespect. Zhang sloppy traveled around the world and manifested at random. Maybe he would have to live for a year or a half, and he really couldn't bear it if he lived in a tent all the time.

Even so, Zhu Yan still felt that it was too humid, so he would order people to light a brazier to smoke the moisture in the house early in the morning and in the evening.

As for the daytime, I burn incense for the Sanqing Daoist, and then wander among the 72 peaks of Wudang Mountain, climb the 36 rocks, look at the 24 streams, pass the Three Pools, visit the Nine Springs, and visit all the big and small sights on Wudang Mountain.

It's just that no matter how many sights there are, there will be a day when he will get tired of watching them, especially when he thinks that his father's birthday is approaching, the feudal country is located at a military center, and his wives and concubines are still stranded in Beijing without a place to go, he feels a burst of irritability in his heart.

On this day, he couldn't take it anymore, so he ordered someone to arrest Yu Lianzhou.

Yu Lianzhou is no stranger to this kind of situation. Over the years, he has been arrested by several waves of people. Even his own family members were detained by the Jin Yiwei in the county government cell at the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, seeing Jin Wang's guards being so arrogant, he followed them very cooperatively.

"Poverty Daoist Yu Lianzhou pays homage to His Royal Highness King Jin, His Highness is a thousand years old!"

"Yu Lianzhou, don't play sloppy eyes with this king. This king will just ask you, when will Zhang Shenxian come back?"

"Your Highness, calm down!"

"The mentor has long been a fairy among the gods. He manifested according to the fate and traveled around the world. Although the poor Taoist is his disciple, he doesn't know the fairy trail of the mentor!"

"I hope Your Highness will wait for a while. If my mentor appreciates your sincerity, I will naturally show up to see you!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Yan sneered when he heard the words.

"Don't think that this king doesn't know what your plans are. Don't you just look down on me, Daming, and my Zhu family?"

"I'll give you the last ten days now. If Zhang Shenxian doesn't show up again, I will kill all the people in a radius of ten miles, and then set a big fire to burn your Wudang Mountain to a piece of white ground!"

Yu Lianzhou turned pale with fright when she heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Highness King Jin can't do it, this move will cause endless murder, how will the world treat you, Your Highness..."

Zhu Yan pointed to his face and said.

"Show Gu see clearly!"

"Gu is the king of Jin, a vassal king who guarded the border for the Ming Dynasty. Gu has had eight thousand lives if not ten thousand in his hands all these years. Does Gu care what people in the world think?"

"That's all for the lonely words. As for where you will go in Wudang Mountain, it depends on whether your Immortal Zhang will give you face!"

"see a visitor out!"

Zhu Yan's so-called seeing off the guests was just to let the guards throw them out.

To be honest, he was able to pretend to be a "person" in Wudang Mountain for such a long time, which is already a great deal of face.

It was only when Zhang Sloppy played him like a monkey that he got angry.

Yu Lianzhou was thrown out of the master's quiet room by Zhu Yan, and hurriedly ran down the mountain, sending all the disciples of Wudang Mountain out to find his mentor Zhang Shenxian.

But these are just pretexts, he just wants to spread the matter when his disciple goes down the mountain, and then someone will naturally pass the news to his mentor.

In fact, Yu Lianzhou has been keeping in touch with his mentor Zhang Sloppy. It was he who told Zhang Sloppy that Jin Yiwei surrounded Wudang Mountain so tightly.

When Zhang Sloppy, who was far away in Jinling City, learned about this, he immediately discussed it with Zhang Yuchu.

"Master Zhang, my Wudang Mountain will be destroyed soon..."

"If it's Jin Yiwei, the poor can still deal with it a little bit, but right now, it's King Jin, a bad guy no better than King Qin. He said that if he kills all the people in a radius of ten miles, he guarantees that he won't even keep a chicken!"

Zhang Yuchu also had a look of embarrassment, not to mention Zhang Sloppy, it would be a big trouble even if it fell on Longhu Mountain.

Fortunately, they knelt on Longhushan early, accepted the canonization of the imperial court, and met the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, this kind of catastrophe should have fallen on them now.

"Brother Zhang, why don't you go see Emperor Zhu and find any reason to fool around?"

Zhang Sloppy said with a depressed expression.

"late!"

"The Wudang faction has been preaching that I am a land god since the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Now not only the people in the world believe it, but even Emperor Zhu believes it."

"I said I'm showing up now, then Emperor Zhu will definitely let me renew his life. What excuse can I use then?"

"Emperor Zhu is shrewd and capable, not afraid of ghosts and gods, but he will not be as easy to coax as the previous emperors."

"If I can't satisfy him, he dares to set me on fire!"

"Hey……"

Zhang Yuchu also sighed when he heard the words.

"Then what should we do now?"

"Do you want my junior brother to help you find a few lords to write a letter to make the atrocities of King Jin known to the public, and let that fellow of King Jin throw a mouse?"

Zhang Sloppy heard the words and thought for a while.

"I'm afraid this method may not be effective. If the servant of King Jin hadn't been ordered by Emperor Zhu, he would definitely not have dared to take such a dangerous move. will blame him."

"After all, compared to the brutality of King Qin and King Jin, Emperor Zhu is the ancestor of murder!"

When the two of them said this, there was a moment of silence.After a while, Zhang Yuchu spoke quietly.

"How about we test King Jin?"

"At least listen to his tone and know why he insists on forcing you to show up!"

"This……"

Zhang Sloppy thought about it.

"It's okay, but Jin Wang has many guards and is heavily guarded. I'm afraid it's difficult to use the usual tricks on him, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuchu immediately showed a confident smile.

"Please rest assured, Senior Brother Zhang. My Longhushan lineage dare not say anything else. This kind of pretending to be gods and ghosts is not only unrivaled in the world, but I dare not pretend to be second, hahaha..."

After Zhu Yan gave Yu Lianzhou an ultimatum, he ordered people to arrest all the people down the mountain, as if he wanted to slaughter the surrounding villages and towns.

At the same time, the mountain is covered with kerosene and other fire starters, ready to set fire to the mountain at any time.

After letting the wind out for a few days, when Zhu Yan was sleeping one night, he only felt a strange fragrance coming from him, and then he fell unconscious.

After he fell into a deep sleep, a floor tile under the bed swelled, and two black figures emerged from it.

The two figures first carried Zhu Bian down the secret path, and then added some powder to the brazier, making the fragrance in the room even more intense.

When Zhu Yan woke up again, he was already on the top of Tianzhu Peak.

In the dark night, surrounded by smog, there was not a single noise, and there was no one figure. Only the cold wind stimulated him, making him feel like he was in a dreamland.

Zhu Bing scolded on the spot, but he only yelled a few times, and stopped doing this futile thing.

Because he found that he didn't have any strength in his body, and even the voice he shouted was weak.

"anyone there?"

"But Immortal Zhang cast a spell to bring this king here?"

After Zhu Yan said a few words, he suddenly noticed that there was a puff of smoke around him, and a figure stood abruptly three feet away in front of him.

"The poor Daoist Wudang Mountain is sloppy, dare to ask the benefactor why he forced the poor Daoist to show up at the cost of the lives of the people in a radius of ten miles?"

Seeing Zhang Shenxian's appearance, Zhu Yan immediately kowtowed to Zhang's sloppy back.

"Meet Immortal Zhang!"

"I came here on the orders of my father alone, and implore Zhang Shenxian to come to Beijing to see him."

"I'm afraid that King Jin and His Majesty the Emperor will be disappointed. Although Pindao is already an outsider, he cannot teach His Majesty the method of longevity."

"Your Majesty is the true son of heaven. After finishing the affairs of the world, he is naturally ranked among the immortals, and his status is even higher than that of the poor. How can the poor dare to reveal the secrets of heaven and usurp the principles of heaven?"

Hearing this, Zhu Bang kowtowed a few times again.

"Zhang Shenxian misunderstood, the father asked Gu to come to visit, not to seek the law of longevity!"

"Oh?"

"Then what are you doing?"

"Isn't Immortal Zhang one of the immortals? You might as well make a guess..."

Zhang Sloppy laughed out loud when he heard the words, secretly thinking that Zhu Bian was a cunning man, far less easy to deceive than King Qin's guy.

"If it's an ordinary person, it's fine for Pindao to make a guess, but Your Majesty is the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu. How can Pindao dare to make a fool of himself in front of the true god with his meager skills?"

Zhu Yan did have the intention to compare, but hearing that Zhang Sloppy admired his father so much, he immediately told him about his father's entrustment.

But he still kept his eyes open and didn't tell the truth, he only said that his father wanted to ask for advice on the candidate for the heir of the Ming Dynasty, and asked who could bear the burden of the country.

Hearing Zhu Yan's words, Zhang Sloppy was both surprised and delighted.

This is a godsend opportunity, if he gets the merit of supporting the new emperor, at least he can keep the incense of Wudang Mountain for a hundred years!

Zhang Sloppy stroked his beard subconsciously, but when he felt his chin was bare, he suddenly felt agitated.

In order to avoid the pursuit of the court, he had shaved off his beard a long time ago. It's true that the "beard" will be used when it is used up!

Zhang Sloppy thought about several well-known vassal princes of Ming Dynasty, and then several famous grandsons of the emperor, secretly guessing in his heart who the old emperor preferred.

This kind of thing can't be said nonsense, once the person who said it doesn't match the person that the old emperor likes, then his name as a god will be forfeited.

Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, he came up with a clever trick of the word "drag".

"Your Majesty is a long-lived person, and it is not false to rule the country for another 30 years. There is no need to discuss the establishment of a crown prince too early!"

This was not the answer Zhu Yan wanted, he kowtowed to Zhang's sloppy back again.

"I implore Zhang Shenxian to make it clear!"

"I implore Zhang Shenxian to come to Beijing with me and tell my father face to face, so that my father can feel at ease..."

Hearing this, Zhang Sloppy thought to himself, it is impossible to enter Beijing with you, even if a poor Taoist wants to enter Beijing, he must go secretly, how can he go there with great fanfare?
"Pindao is now in a critical period of ascension, and he should not be contaminated with the vulgarity of the world. When Pindao crosses this threshold, he will naturally go to Beijing to face the saint in person and explain it to His Majesty in detail!"

"Then ask Immortal Zhang to give me a token so that I can return to my father's life when I go back!"

"This is..."

"Pindao can write a letter for King Jin, and you can take it back to His Majesty, and His Majesty will know after reading it."

"Then there will be Immortal Lao Zhang!"

As soon as Zhu Yan heard these words, he felt a burst of fragrance, and then fell unconscious again.

When he woke up from the bed again, it was already a new day.

Zhu Fen recalled the scene in the "dream", and was feeling the strangeness of the dream when he suddenly saw a letter placed on the table.

When he saw this letter, he immediately matched the scene in his dream, thinking that Zhang Shenxian, whom he saw in his dream, would give him a letter.

Zhu Xun hurriedly picked up the letter, only to see that it was written with the words "Zhang Sloppy Dunshou, Presented by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty".

He ran outside the door with the envelope and called all the guards on duty at night to come in.

"Have you ever seen someone break into my king's residence at night?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the humble officials have been guarding the door at night, and no one has visited this courtyard."

Zhu Yan held a sloppy letter in his hand, his face was full of confusion and bewilderment.

"Is it really a dream?"

Although Zhu Yan firmly believed that the guards would not lie to him, he still did not believe that everything that happened last night was a dream.

"You guys go find some picks, shovels, etc., dismantle the courtyard where the king lives, carefully examine every inch of the land, and see if there is a secret room or other mechanism in this house!"

"Focus on checking the floor tiles, cabinets, under the bed boards, etc., and don't let go of any clues!"

"promise!"
