People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

"Master Zhang Xian?"

After hearing what the Longzhou governor said, Emperor Tang's expression softened.

According to what he said in the memorial, Master Zhang Xian was indispensable for solving this major case!

Upon thinking of this, the Holy Spirit became interested and ordered:

"Then let him enter the palace."

After a hundred breaths, Zhang Guolao walked into the Qinzheng Palace under the leadership of a eunuch.

"Old Taoist Zhang Guo, I have met His Majesty!"

Arriving in front of the palace, Zhang Guolao saluted the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

Seeing this, Emperor Tang nodded slightly.

He was not angry that he had not bowed down.

Emperor Tang took a look at Zhang Guolao and saw that he had gray hair but a childish face with white teeth and teeth like shells. He couldn't help but look surprised and asked seriously:

"How long have you been practicing, Taoist Master?"

"Are the deaths of thousands of drug farmers behind the Huai Min Tang case really the work of a demon?"

Zhang Guolao replied:

"Your Majesty, I have been practicing Taoism for more than two hundred years."

Emperor Tang was startled when he heard that Zhang Guo was over 200 years old.

Not long after, Zhang Guolao said again:

"In the case of the medicine man, the culprit is indeed the devil."

Hearing this, Emperor Tang frowned:

"Daozhang Zhang, if you have the ability to solve the Huaimintang case, why can't you capture the devil?"

"The devil is cunning and dangerous, and his evil methods are profound. The old man is no match for him."

Zhang Guolao shook his head and said.

"Does that mean the real murderer is still at large?"

Tang Huangshen's face sank, a little dissatisfied.

Hearing this, the Longzhou governor and others broke into a cold sweat.

Zhang Guolao, on the other hand, was very calm. He spoke calmly:

"Your Majesty, the Yin Xiang Daoist may also die."

Last time, Master Yinxiang made a mess for the Prince of Donghai and had to flee for his life.

According to what Senior Brother Han said, Ao Lin would definitely find Yin Xiang Zhenren to vent his hatred if he got eaten by them.

Therefore, it is difficult for the Yin Xiang Zhenren to survive.

"What do you mean by that?"

Emperor Tang was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not speaking frankly."

Whether he is the Prince of Donghai or his master, Medicine Immortal Guangji Zhenjun, there are too many behind-the-scenes involvements and should not be made clear to the Emperor of Tang.

Tang Huang let out a light sigh, his face already full of gloom:

"Oh, is there anything under the sun that I can't know?"

now.

The governor of Longzhou and others winked at Zhang Guolao crazily, hoping that he would explain quickly.

Even if it's just nonsense.

But Zhang Guolao remained unmoved!

Seeing this, the governor of Longzhou and others complained endlessly.

The Emperor of Tang Dynasty glanced at the Longzhou governor and others, and then said to Zhang Guolao:

"Daozhang Zhang, if you want to plead for Gan Yanhe and others, you should wait until the real culprit is captured!"

Say it.

With a sharp voice, he ordered:

"Come here, take Gan Yanhe and the others to prison. No one is allowed to visit the prison!"

"If Taoist Zhang cannot arrest the real culprit within seven days, then chop off these people's heads as an apology for their crime!"

The voice just fell.

A group of guards rushed out of the palace and pulled the Longzhou governor and others down without any explanation.

In response, the Longzhou governor and others quickly begged for mercy:

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"His Majesty……"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Guolao sighed helplessly.

The Emperor of Tang Dynasty bowed his hands in front of the palace:

"Then the old Taoist will go and capture the Yinxiang Master right now!"

Emperor Tang waved his hand and let him go.

……

……

This room.

Han Xiangzi lingered at Tongyin's place for more than an hour.

By the way, I also gave him some tips and some experience from real people to break through the five internal organs and one realm.

Thinking that it was getting late, Mr. Shenke had probably already arranged a good banquet in Qintian Prison, and wanted to say goodbye to Master Tongyin.

Unexpectedly.

At this moment, his mind stirred, and ripples appeared for a moment.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Han Xiangzi understood the reason.

"It seems that Junior Brother Zhang's trip to Chang'an did not go smoothly..."

"Master Tian, ​​what's going on?"

Seeing that Han Xiangzi looked wrong, Master Tongyin raised his eyebrows and asked.

After suppressing his thoughts, Han Xiangzi explained:

"Dissatisfied with little friend Tongyin, Junior Brother Pindao came to Chang'an and met with the Holy Master. He was frustrated and is now in distress."

Upon hearing this, Master Tongyin's expression changed:

"what?!"

"The Heavenly Master also has a junior brother, but I don't know who is the master?"

Master Tongyin knew that Master Dongxiao and Master Chunyang were both disciples of Zhengyangzi.

Now, he has an additional junior disciple, which has to make Master Tongyin suspect that this son is also a disciple of Zhengyangzi.

What's more important is that these disciples of Zhengyangzi all have extraordinary abilities and vast magical powers, and they are all leaders of the Taoist sect.

If there is one more person, I'm afraid this Xuanmen will be very lively.

After all, ever since Master Dongxiao and Master Chunyang achieved Taoism and became immortals, it has been really difficult to find anyone who can rival them in the Xuanmen of the world.

"Junior Brother Pindao, he was just promoted to a real person a few days ago."

"He is not my master's disciple, but a disciple of my poor master."

Han Xiangzi didn't know what Master Tongyin was thinking, so he smiled and said.

"I see."

Master Tongyin nodded, and said with emotion regarding Zhang Guolao's frustration in front of the Holy Master:

"Today, the emperors are mediocre, and there are no good ministers or ministers in the government and the public. Therefore, the fate of the Tang Dynasty will decline..."

"The Zhou dynasty lasted for eight hundred years, let alone future generations." Han Xiangzi said.

He is quite open-minded about the change of dynasty.

Not long after, Han Xiangzi changed the topic and said to Master Tongyin:

"When I came to Chunhe Immortal Mansion, Pindao went to Qintian Prison and visited Mr. Shenke. He has probably prepared a banquet now. Why don't you, little friend Tongyin, go with Pindao and introduce it to you by the way? , my junior brother."

"How dare you disobey the Heavenly Master's orders?"

Upon hearing this, Master Tongyin quickly stood up and bowed his head.

After saying this, Han Xiangzi laughed loudly, and the two of them dispersed and left the place.

……

……

It is said that after Zhang Guolao left the palace, he originally wanted to look for Han Xiangzi.

After all, he didn’t know the whereabouts of Master Yinxiang.

If you really want to find it, wouldn't it be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Only by asking for help from his senior brother could the lives of the Longzhou governor and others be saved.

When he was thinking about it, unexpectedly, a figure flashed in front of him, and his senior brother Han Xiangzi was already standing in front of him.

"Senior Brother Han, I'm ashamed to say it, but I know..."

Seeing Han Xiangzi, Zhang Guo sighed, and was about to say that the Holy Emperor asked him to find the real person Yinxiang before he could release the Longzhou governor and others.

Unexpectedly, Han Xiangzi shook his head and said with relief:

"Junior brother, there is no need to say anything. Pindao already knows about this."

Then, introduce him to Master Tongyin:

"This is Master Tongyin of Chunhe Immortal Mansion."

After that, he introduced Zhang Guolao to Master Tongyin.

At that moment, the two of them bowed to each other.

They also know each other.

What puzzles Master Tongyin is that the junior disciple Dongxiao Guangji Tianshi looks so old.

But people should not be judged by their appearance, and Master Tongyin also understood that if this piece of fruit could be valued by Han Xiangzi's uncle, there must be something special about it.

After finding Zhang Guolao, Han Xiangzi led the two men to Qintian Prison.

As soon as they arrived at Qin Tian Prison, Mr. Shen Ke had indeed ordered a banquet to be held to entertain everyone.

At the banquet, Han Xiangzi introduced Zhang Guolao to Mr. Shenke, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng and others.

Everyone exchanged cups for a while, and gradually became familiar with each other.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Guolao finally asked what he had been holding back:

"Senior Brother Han, do you have a way to find the Yin Xiang Daoist?"

"Right now, Your Majesty will not let the Longzhou governor and others go unless he lets the old Taoist find the real culprit."

"The Yinxiang Master is dead."

Han Xiangzi said.

Long before coming to Chang'an, Han Xiangzi had already figured out the whereabouts of the Yin Xiang Zhenren.

Only to find that he had died.

Prince Aolin's current cultivation level is not weak, so it is quite simple to find a real person to take revenge.

"But the old Taoist told His Majesty that he didn't believe it."

Zhang Guolao said helplessly.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, what's so difficult about this?"

"Tomorrow, Pindao will go into the palace with you to meet His Majesty and tell him clearly."

Master Tongyin was a warm-hearted man who wanted to make friends with Zhang Guolao and took the initiative to speak out.

"Then there is Master Lao Tongyin."

Zhang Guolao bowed and thanked him.

"At that time, I will also go with fellow Taoist Tongyin."

Yuan Tiangang also expressed his position.

Since Zhang Guo Lao was Han Xiangzi's junior disciple, he was probably a disciple of the Taishang lineage.

Yuan Tiangang said that he must form a good relationship no matter what.

"If Brother Yuan Dao comes to my rescue, the Longzhou governor and others will probably be saved."

When Zhang Guolao had never met Tieguai Li before, he had a general understanding of Xuanmen in the human world.

I know that there are several real people in Qintian Prison.

Whether it was Yuan Tiangang or Tongyin, they were both trusted and relied upon by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. If these two people could go with him to intercede, it would be almost certain that they could save the governor of Longzhou and others.

Now that the knot of depression in his heart had been resolved, Zhang Guolao relaxed his mind and enjoyed eating and drinking with everyone. Listening to several people chatting at the same time, I understand the world now better than before.

That night.

Han Xiangzi and three others all stayed in Qintian Prison.

……

……

The next day, dawn.

After Zhang Guolao woke up, he first practiced Qigong for a while, then walked out of the house, met up with Master Tongyin and Yuan Tiangang, and entered the palace together.

I don't know.

The Longzhou Huaimin Hall incident has become known to both the government and the public after a night of fermentation.

Even the people of Chang'an had heard about it, and they gathered in groups early in the morning to discuss the matter.

It was just an early morning meeting, and someone immediately proposed to put the Longzhou governor and others to death!

Otherwise, it will be difficult to give Longzhou justice.

Hearing this, Emperor Tang ignored it.

Instead, he went straight down.

Although he is a bit mediocre as a king, he is not bad-hearted.

The devil killed so many medicine people in Longzhou, and it was not the fault of the governor of Longzhou and others.

But it can only be said that they are unlucky.

If you want to expose this matter, give an explanation to the people of Longzhou, and show the emperor's grace, this matter cannot be dealt with in a hurry.

On the contrary, he could also take this opportunity to see what these civil and military officials were thinking about this matter.

The Emperor of Tang Dynasty came down from the morning court and felt a little hungry. He just ordered someone to go to the imperial kitchen to bring some food.

There was a eunuch who came in a hurry to report:

"Your Majesty, Yuan Jian is asking for an audience with Master Tongyin of Chunhe Immortal Mansion outside the palace!"

Hearing this, Emperor Tang was stunned:

"what?!"

Immediately, I secretly thought:

"It's rare for two immortals to come to me at the same time. What's the reason?"

After pondering for a while, Tang Huang seemed to have thought of some possibility, and asked:

"Are you just two immortals coming?"

"No!"

"There is also Taoist Zhang who came yesterday." The eunuch replied.

Hearing this, Tang Huang felt a sudden change in his heart and couldn't help but come over curious about Zhang Guolao's identity:

"It seems that Taoist Priest Zhang has a lot of background, and he can actually invite these two immortals to act as lobbyists!"

"Forget it, just go and take a look..."

Upon thinking of this, Emperor Tang immediately stood up and shouted:

"Come here, come to Yangyuan Hall!"

……

……

Yangyuan Hall.

The three people, Zhenren Tongyin, Yuan Tiangang and Zhang Guolao, saw Emperor Tang entering the palace and bowed their heads:

"I am a poor man, please pay my respects to the Holy One!"

"Idiot Yuan Tiangang, pay your respects to the Holy One!"

"..."

Emperor Tang walked to the dragon chair and sat down, waved his hand and said:

"You two immortals, there is no need to be polite."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Tiangang got straight to the point and said:

"Your Majesty, I am here because of the incident involving Taoist friend Zhang. My uncle, Mr. Shen Ke, made a divination for the Yin Xiang Master some time ago. He said that the Yin Xiang Master has died and his path has disappeared. This will add to the sins he committed. Clear karma."

"Therefore, after the real culprit in the Huaimintang case has been eliminated, I would like to ask Your Majesty to show some mercy and disturb the lives of the Longzhou governor and others!"

In this room, Master Tongyin also took the opportunity to speak:

"Your Majesty, that Yin Xiang Daoist is a top class Daoist Daoist from our Taoist sect and has great abilities. Zhang Daoyou has only been promoted to Dao Dao soon, so he is indeed no match for that Yin Xiang Daoist."

Seeing that Yuan Jianzheng and Tongyin were interceding for Zhang Guolao, Emperor Tang couldn't help but asked with interest:

"The governor of Longzhou didn't mention it in advance, but I'm curious. When will the two immortal ministers be so easy to talk to and help Taoist Zhang intercede in front of me?"

To know.

Normally, these two immortals would not show up at all if they had nothing else to do.

Since he ascended the throne, the number of times the two immortals have entered the palace can be said to be very few.

Now, because Daozhang Zhang was in trouble, Yuan Jianzheng and Master Tongyin came to the palace in person, which had to make Emperor Tang curious.

Yuan Tiangang and Master Tongyin looked at each other.

Just when he was about to reply, Zhang Guolao spoke first:

"Your Majesty, Senior Brother Xiaodao is acquainted with the two Taoist brothers, so he is willing to enter the palace to persuade Your Majesty."

"Who is your senior brother?"

Tang Huang asked with narrowed eyes.

Yuan Tiangang said:

"Your Majesty, Senior Brother Zhang Daoyou is our former Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, Dongxiao Guangji Celestial Master, the grandnephew of the old Duke of Changli, Han Xiangzi!"

Tang Huang looked horrified and said in disbelief:

"what?!"

"It's actually our imperial master. Didn't he disappear for more than a hundred years? Why did he come back again?"

"Your Majesty, the Celestial Master Dongxiao Guangji has not disappeared, but has gone elsewhere in the past hundred years or so." Yuan Tiangang explained.

Emperor Tang suddenly came over.

No wonder, now Yuan Jianzheng and Master Tongyin will help Zhang Guolao to intercede. It turns out that he is actually the junior disciple of Tianshi Dongxiao Guangji.

How could the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty not know about the Celestial Master Dongxiao Guangji? He was the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty.

Back then, if he hadn't helped the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid who would be the one in the world now?

"Yuan Xianqing, where is the Heavenly Master now?"

After coming back to his senses, Emperor Tang couldn't wait to inquire about Han Xiangzi's whereabouts.

"The Heavenly Master came to Chang'an yesterday and left again this morning."

Yuan Tiangang knew that Han Xiangzi had an indifferent temperament, so he lied.

"But I just missed it..."

Emperor Tang sighed, feeling a little regretful.

After a moment of silence, Tang Huang looked at Zhang Guolao with a complicated expression and said:

"Zhang Xianqing, since Yuan Xianqing and Master Tongyin have interceded for you and the Longzhou governor and others are guilty, I will no longer pursue them and will spare their lives."

"However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided. Zhang Xianqing must also understand this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Guolao thanked him.

To be able to spare the lives of the Longzhou governor and others, in Zhang Guolao's opinion, the Holy Emperor was magnanimous.

Zhang Guolao no longer insisted, and his promise to the governor of Longzhou was completed.

Having said this, Tang Huang paused and smiled at Zhang Guolao:

"Zhang Xianqing, you have done a great job in solving the Huai Min Tang case. I would like to give you a silver medal and a green ribbon, and make you a silver green Guanglu doctor. I wonder if you are willing?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Zhang Guolao was stunned for a moment. He really never thought that the Emperor of Tang Dynasty would canonize him.

When hesitating.

Yuan Tiangang advised:

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, why don't you thank Your Majesty for your kindness?"

"Doctor Yinqing Guanglu just has an idle position. Your senior brother is still the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty. Why should Fellow Daoist Zhang be so rigid?"

Zhang Guolao suddenly understood and immediately bowed to Emperor Tang:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Seeing this, Emperor Tang nodded slightly.

The three of them chatted for a while in Yangyuan Hall, and Yuan Tiangang and others said goodbye to Emperor Tang.

……

……

in the prison.

The Longzhou governor and others have become completely desperate since they were imprisoned here.

I also had a lot of complaints about Zhang Guolao in my heart.

I just feel that the Immortal family is nothing more than that, they are all the same!

Gan Yanhe leaned against the cold wall, despairing. He didn't dare to think about what His Majesty would do to him?

Thinking about how once upon a time, I was a high-profile feudal official, and now I am in prison, my circumstances are very different.

In an instant, Gan Yanhe figured out a few things and put a lot of things behind him.

Bao Bao!

Soon, a sound of footsteps came from far and near.

But it was Emperor Tang's personal eunuch who came here.

He told the jailer of Heavenly Prison:

"Bring Lord Gan and others out of death row!"

"Yes!"

The jailer guarding here responded and opened the cell door.

Gan Yanhe sat up straight. He stared blankly at the attendant. His throat suddenly felt dry. He wanted to ask something, but he couldn't.

In this room, the attendant looked at the Longzhou governor and said with a smile:

"Master Gan, your luck is really not bad. After the Immortal Master Zhang left yesterday, he actually found Master Yuan Jianzheng and Immortal Master Tongyin to intercede for you today. Now His Majesty has promised Master Zhang to spare your lives."

A skinny camel is, after all, bigger than a horse.

Even if the governor of Longzhou committed a serious crime, in the final analysis he was still a frontier official.

In Chang'an, I still have many colleagues and friends.

Therefore, the jailers did not dare to torture them too much.

"This this…………"

Hearing this, Governor Gan's expression changed and he subconsciously opened his mouth.

That Zhang Guolao was able to ask Yuan Jianzheng and Tongyin to intercede for them was unexpected for Governor Gan and others!

These Taoist masters were veterans of several dynasties.

The status is extremely respected!

Many princes have never seen them at all.

Not to mention forming friendships with these people.

That Zhang Guolao was able to invite these two people showed that his background was bigger than they thought!

"Who is the immortal master that can invite these two experts?"

Someone frowned and asked in confusion.

"He is the younger brother of the former Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, so he can naturally invite Master Yuan Jianzheng and Immortal Tongyin."

The attendant said something.

Suddenly, the entire cell was deathly silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

……

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Yan Tieguai Li left Caili Mountain, and because of Ao Lin's incident, he went to Lihentian to consult with Taozu about the matter.

After he explained the whole story, Taishang Laojun laughed loudly and said:

"Your hard work is not in vain. Five of the Eight Immortals in the Upper Cave have been gathered together."

Immediately afterwards, Taishang Laojun revealed the whereabouts of the orb:

"Then what Ao Lin is looking for is the Earthly Treasure Divine Bead!"

"The Earth Treasure Divine Pearl, what is that?"

Tieguai Li had never heard of the origin of this treasure, so he had no choice but to lean over and ask the Supreme Lord for advice.
