Longevity starts from Liaozhai

Chapter 141 Trained to look like a crane (4K)

When Lei Ting landed in the small courtyard, Qing Qing went up to meet him first.

There is good luck in the thunder.

Not to mention Chunlei.

"Idiot."

Qingqing's essence incarnated to meet the thunder, and her soul was split in the blink of an eye. Qin Chuan appeared next to her essence, and yin and yang were formed to block the remaining power of the thunder.

And the power of thunder acted on the clear and dispersed soul energy, but her firm and persistent thoughts kept the soul energy from completely dissipating into the invisible.

Qin Chuan took out Qingqing's snail body, and Qingqing's scattered soul energy finally settled down and gathered in the body.The electric light flickered, and the snail's body was unbearable, and its flesh and blood gradually melted away.

The snail shell is broken.

Qin Chuan pointed up.

boom!
A great roar was felt in the remaining consciousness of Qingqing, and a ray of spiritual light appeared in the chaotic consciousness, and all kinds of mysterious mysteries about the Shenxiao refining technique flowed out in the heart, and there was a feeling of coldness unconsciously. The blow of Qi smoothed out the damage caused by the thunder power, causing Qingqing's flesh and blood to coagulate and change.

Under the operation of the Shenxiao refining technique, the soul is restored to the ground, the essence returns to the flesh and blood, the soul merges into the flesh and blood, and a brand new flesh and blood carcass appears.

In a burst of faint light, Qingqing finally attained the human body.

The good fortune left by the thunder just now also allowed her to barely survive the catastrophe of transformation.

Although her mana was not comparable to that of a real monster, it also enabled her to formally possess a human body instead of a phantom body of essence and energy.

It is rumored that immortal Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can enlighten stubborn stones and make them ask questions.

Qin Chuan's method is similar to it.

There is a world of difference from the ordinary sense of a big demon enlightening a little demon.

"Taiji talisman, interpreting the Dao." Qin Chuan developed a purpose of the Taiji talisman when he pointed out the Qing Dynasty just now, and that is to interpret the Dao.

Under the influence of the Taiji seal, the enlightenment contained in the Shenxiao refining technique became clear, allowing Qin Chuan to use the method of enlightenment to enlighten Qingqing, so that he could complete the last step of transcending thunder and transforming into form, and spiritedly The three treasures of Qi and God are united, and the physical body undergoes transformation to obtain a human body.

This kind of human body is not a complete human body, it only looks like a human form, and it takes a long time of practice to truly complete the transformation and become a real transformation monster.

But after taking this step, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and the shackles that prevented Qingqing from embarking on the path of practice dissipated invisible.

"My servant thanked you for your kindness." Qing Guang disappeared, and the scattered shell fragments turned into broken blue and white skirts, covering up Qing Qing's graceful figure.

At the same time, she refined her bones, and finally she was able to speak, her voice was soft and weak, like a yellow oriole's first cry.

Qingqing's face was full of smiles, because the first sentence she said in her life was to the young master.

She was also a little shy, nervous and happy.

It's not just the joy of being reincarnated, but also that she finally has the fate to continue to accompany the young master for a long time.

Qin Chuan smiled and said: "The rare human body is now available, and the dharma-rectification is now unheard of. Don't let this experience live up to you. Practice hard."

He is also happy for Qingqing.

"Slaves, please remember." She was still careful not to talk too much.

She will always remember today's day, because it seems that she has not really come to the world until now, and she is entitled to enjoy the joys and sorrows in the world.

Qin Chuan said softly: "Go and rest."

"promise."

Qin Chuan stayed alone in the study in the small courtyard again, a small courtyard rented at a high price, although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

...

...

Imperial Palace, Ouchi.

Emperor Liang wore no more than eight sets of clothes throughout the year, which was considered very frugal among emperors.Moreover, he likes alchemy and Taoism, and in the palace, he prefers to wear an old Taoist robe.

He asked himself that he was worthy of the common people in the world and the common people.

But why are there more and more troubles.

Emperor Liang thought that the real problem was the ministers. He handed over the ancestral land to these ministers to govern. Is this how they perfunctory him?

Laojun Temple was built by the order of Emperor Liang, and the year was not too long ago, but after a sudden overturn, the houses next to it were fine, but the statue of the Taoist ancestor in the main hall was cracked.

It was like a slap on his face, hot, painful, and embarrassing.

The construction of Laojun Temple is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry.

The servant of Laojunguan, who is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, is Yan Donglou, the son of Yan Shi, the chief minister of the cabinet.It is actually a custom for the son of the chief minister of the cabinet to serve as the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Laojun saw the statue of Daozu cracked, and Yan Shi and his son immediately entered the palace to plead guilty.

They didn't excuse themselves, but first admitted their guilt, and then said that in Laojun's view, nothing was damaged when Dilong turned over, except for the statue of Daozu.

After the Taoist statue had an accident, the embroidered clothes envoys were dispatched immediately.

Emperor Liang then summoned Jiang Chong, the commander of the Embroidered Clothes Guards, and Jiang Chong came to see him in ordinary clothes.

I saw him wearing a silk zen robe, which was a bit flamboyant, with bird feathers on the silk hat, and he shook his crown and flickered his tassels when he walked around.He is tall and tall, with a magnificent appearance.

He first confessed to Emperor Liang.

Because Xiu Mu was at home today, after hearing about Laojunguan's accident, he rushed to the scene to investigate. Now that the emperor summoned him and the situation was urgent, he immediately went to the palace to have an audience.

Seeing that he was wearing gorgeous and weird clothes, Emperor Liang didn't blame him, but asked him directly: "What's going on?"

Jiang Chong deliberately wore a gorgeous and exotic outfit, because being the commander of the embroidered clothes guard is actually a high-risk occupation. He showed his usual arrogant side in front of Emperor Liang, which was a sign of his sincerity.

If he did something wrong, the emperor would punish him, living arrogance and extravagance, and being rude to the emperor were all ready-made crimes.

If these crimes are held accountable, the punishment will naturally not be serious.

As a minister, one must not be without fault, otherwise the king will be unhappy.

Because the subject is not at fault, if something happens, who is to blame?
Everyone knows that "receiving the dirt of the country is the master of the country; receiving the bad luck of the country is the king of the world".But in fact, the king didn't like such words.

Emperor Liang had read five thousand words of the Taoist scriptures by heart, but he never liked to read this passage, and asked people to delete it.

The emperor is the son of heaven, how can there be any mistakes?
The father is not wrong, only the subjects are wrong.

This is also the "monarch, subject, father and son" advocated by Neo Confucianism.If the king is at fault, it must be a villain around him.

Both Jiang Chong and Yan Shi and his son played the role of the villain.

When Jiang Chong saw that Emperor Liang asked something important, he immediately replied seriously: "Your Majesty, I have inspected the statue of the Taoist ancestor and tested it with a sharp knife. The blade was rolled and the statue was not damaged. The strange stone that carved the statue is indeed a rare thing in the world. .”

Emperor Liang was suspicious by nature, and said lightly: "So it's not the problem with the statue of Taoist ancestor itself? Could it be a warning from heaven?"

Jiang Chong: "I don't dare to say whether it is God's will or man-made disaster, but I found a strange thing."

"What's the matter, you said."

Jiang Chong: "My next words are a bit of a villain's criticism, but I still have to say them out of sincerity toward His Majesty. When the statue of Daozu was cracked, there was Mr. Lu Wanlilu, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, who was the favorite student. At that time, he was a little lost , Stay where you are. It wasn’t until the statue of the Taoist ancestor cracked that he came back to his senses, and then took advantage of the chaos to leave.”

"A scholar?"

"Well, but according to my investigation, this Master Lu's favorite student should also be a monk."

Emperor Liang said in a deep voice, "So, he has the ability to secretly damage the statue of Daozu?"

Jiang Chong said: "I dare not make a statement, but this possibility cannot be ruled out."

"What's this man's name? Is he going to take the spring exam for this subject?"

"This life is from Lingzhou. His surname is Qin and his name is Chuan. Your Majesty Shengming, this life is going to take the spring examination for undergraduates."

Emperor Liang: "Qin Chuan? I seem to have heard of this name before. Elder Yan Ge, do you know him?"

When Yan Shi heard the emperor call him "Old Yan Ge", his heart skipped a beat, knowing that it would be difficult to get over the disaster, he said: "Your Majesty, Qin Chuan is a talented scholar from Lingzhou, and he has always been on good terms with Zhou Ruxian. Zhou Ruxian is very good. Righteousness, the people who have been close to each other in life, no more than two or three, are all Fang Zheng's disciples. The veteran thinks that Qin Chuan is definitely not the kind of person who secretly tricks evil."

"Where is Zhou Ruxian now?"

Yan Shi replied, "Danzhou."

Emperor Liang said softly: "That is a land in the south of the sky, thousands of miles away from the capital of God. It is said that there are three evils in Danzhou, miasma, poisonous insects and beasts. Many officials went there and never came back. So some officials heard that they were going to Danzhou to take up their posts. , would rather resign than go. When Zhou Ruxian went this week, did he make any complaints?"

Yan Shidao: "I heard from the officials who saw me off that there were two sentences."

"Which two sentences?" Emperor Liang asked with interest.

Yan Shi replied: "Thunder, rain and dew are all due to your grace."

Emperor Liang smiled and said, "He is not the one who said such things, Yan Shi, how dare you deceive the emperor?"

Yan Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Emperor Liang call him by his first name. It seems that the emperor's prejudice against him has been dispelled.

He said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all due to the grace of the king. It was said by Lu Shilang who saw Zhou Ruxian off. He met the old minister by chance on the road, and chatted with the old minister about seeing him off."

Emperor Liang asked him interestingly: "You and Lu Wanli have a good relationship?"

Yan Shi: "I dare not hide it from Your Majesty, Minister Lu is in Jinshi's department, and Chen Tian is his room teacher. On weekdays, we still have some contacts in private."

Emperor Liang: "So you still have this relationship, but in the court, he doesn't give you any face."

"Lu Shilang is not someone who abolishes the public for personal reasons."

"It's hard for you to say such good things for him. The court is stable and cannot be separated from you people. If everyone puts the overall situation first and has no selfishness, the world will be governed easily." Emperor Liang sighed.

Yan Shi: "In short, the courtiers are incompetent, so tired that His Majesty has to worry about state affairs."

"Okay, let's not talk about that. What did Zhou Ruxian say?"

Yan Shi: "He read two poems at that time, 'If you want to eliminate evils for the sake of sages, you will be willing to spend the decay and cherish the dying years'."

Emperor Liang's expression darkened at first, and then he laughed loudly, "Like what Zhou Ruxian said, you will draw up a decree later, and let Zhou Ruxian be the inspector of salt."

Salt tax is the main income of the imperial court. Over the past few decades, the salt government has been corrupted, so the salt tax of the imperial court is less than one year.

The malpractice of the salt government is a thunder that the court dare not touch.

It seems that the treasury is also empty, and the emperor needs to use Zhou Ruxian to poke the hornet's nest and enrich the treasury.

I have found everything.

Since you want to eliminate evils for the sake of sages, you are willing to waste your time and cherish your remaining years.Then the emperor will do as he wishes.

"Sir, obey the order."

Emperor Liang's expression turned cold immediately, and he looked at Jiang Chong, "So, the Ministry of Industry really cut corners, which caused the statue of Daozu to crack when Dilong turned over."

Jiang Chong's heart trembled, it seemed that His Majesty did not intend to pursue this matter any more.

Emperor Liang didn't intend to implicate Lu Wanli in this matter, but he didn't want to change the deputy chief examiner at the juncture of the spring examination, making the court unstable.

The overall situation is the most important thing, this is the emperor's warning to him.

It seems that in the future, he will not be able to bite others at will, and must keep a low profile for a while.

Lu Wanli and Zhou Ruxian are considered to be close, and Lu Wanli was not implicated in order to make Zhou Ruxian feel at ease and dare to poke the hornet's nest of the salt administration.

Yan Shi and his son and Jiang Chong have followed Emperor Liang for many years, so they naturally understand that this is Emperor Liang's scheming.

How the truth is is not important at all.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Liang said indifferently: "Mr. Yan Ge, the Ministry of Industry has failed me, so let the minister in charge of the Ministry of Industry be demoted to three ranks and stay in his post for probation. If there is another similar incident, he will be punished for several crimes. You can draw up an order." .”

"The old minister obeys the order." Yan Shi knew what happened today, so it was over.

They were only demoted to three ranks, but their positions were retained, which showed that the emperor still trusted their father and son.

Yan Shi and his son then apologized and thanked En and left.

In the main hall, only Jiang Chong was left.

He was stressed.

"Jiang Chong."

"The minister is here."

"I remembered this man named Qin Chuan. He is indeed a very interesting young man. You invite him into the palace tomorrow. I want to see him."

Since the emperor used the word "please", it shows that he values ​​Qin Chuan.

Jiang Chong knew in his heart that he must not do anything bad to Qin Chuan.

"Sir, obey the order."

...

...

Qin Chuan never imagined that the emperor would summon him into the palace privately.

He thought it was Laojunguan's incident.

But not like.

Because the commander of the embroidered clothes guard was very polite and asked him to clean up his appearance, take a shower and change clothes before entering the palace.

Not very rushed.

Too polite to be polite.

Qin Chuan knew that the Embroidery Guards were the secret service agencies of the East Factory, West Factory, and Jinyi Guards.

The attitude of these people can best reflect the emperor's preference for a person.

It seems that Emperor Liang really just wanted to meet him in private.

It is absolutely impossible not to go.

After Qin Chuan packed up, he only brought the Qingyu gourd and Qingxuan sword into the palace.

Jiang Chong used a mirror to do a palace inspection.

Ask Qin Chuan to leave the sapphire gourd in the forbidden place, and say that he can pick it up when he goes back.

As for the Qingxuan Sword, because Qin Chuan collected it into Yuanshen, it was not discovered.

"Hello, Eunuch Lin." Jiang Chong saw Eunuch Lin, the supervisor of rituals, outside the palace gate.

"This is Qin Jieyuan?"

"It's down."

"Well, you really have a good appearance. I heard that you still have a third-rank Taoist position. When you enter the palace to meet His Majesty, you don't need to kneel down, just perform the salute of a third-rank official."

Eunuch Lin replaced Jiang Chong and led Qin Chuan to the main hall to meet the emperor.

Qin Chuan entered the gate of the main hall and greeted him.

Emperor Liang was some distance away from him, and there was a faint aura around him that made Qin Chuan very afraid.Qin Chuan didn't use his eyes, and only by experience and senses, he could be sure that this Eunuch Lin was a very terrifying martial arts master, and he was very close to him.

Qin Chuan instinctively felt threatened.

It seems that this Eunuch Lin is not a martial sage, and he is not far from a martial sage.

The gods are hiding dragons and crouching tigers, which is not a lie.

Qin Chuan put aside the feeling of thorns on his back, and looked calm.

"Qin Chuan, I heard that you are very talented in poetry. You went to see Laojun yesterday, did you realize something? Do you have any new works?" Emperor Liang asked Qin Chuan straight to the point.

Qin Chuan: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I do have some understanding, so I wrote a Taoist poem."

He met with a third-rank Taoist position, so he naturally called himself a minister.

"Read and listen."

"According to the order."

Qin Chuan immediately chanted: "Practice the body like a crane, two scriptures under a thousand pine trees;

I came to ask and said nothing, the clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle. "
