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

Chapter 336 Six of the Eight Immortals from Shangdong have gathered together, and the Jade Emperor conferred the title of Zhang Guolao and He Xiugu! 【Down】

Thinking about the noble aura that his master had given him just now, He Xiugu said firmly:

"really!"

"Then the young student will go back and study hard for a year, and then go to Beijing to take the exam next year."

After hearing these words, Zhou Lunchang was inspired and immediately made up his mind, saying.

After saying that, he walked out of the house and left the He family without looking back.

……

……

Ring noon.

When He Tai returned home, Zhou Lunchang was nowhere to be seen. Only after asking He Xiugu did he find out that Zhou Lunchang was gone.

Since He Xiugu couldn't tell her father what happened to Zhou Lunchang, she lied to her father and said that his relatives came back from business and took him away.

In this regard, He Tai felt relieved.

During lunch, He Tai looked up at Xiugu absent-mindedly several times, wanting to say something.

But when the words came to his lips, he took a few mouthfuls of food and swallowed them.

Seeing the discomfort, He Xiugu asked:

"Dad, do you have something to say?"

He Tai put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at He Xiugu, as if he didn't recognize her, and then said:

"This morning, the neighbors are all spreading the news that a fairy girl named He has appeared in Zengzhou. She is very capable."

"A few days ago, there was a fish monster in Shihu Town, Lianzhou, not far from us. It was this fairy who acted for heaven and subdued the monster. She also ordered it to ferry on Shihu Lake to atone for its sins."

"Xiugu, daddy wants to ask you, is the fairy aunt everyone talks about you?"

He Xiugu's beautiful eyes curled up and she smiled. She thought her father was hiding something unspeakable, and it turned out to be this matter.

"Dad, the folks guessed it right. The fairy who subdued the male monster in Shihu Town, Lianzhou, is my daughter."

He Xiugu spoke calmly.

"Is it really you?"

He Tai's eyes widened in disbelief.

Although he had some doubts about his daughter before, he was still extremely shocked when he heard what she said personally.

This kind of impact is no less than that of He Xiugu winning the first prize as a woman?

Mrs. He Dou listened and was stunned subconsciously.

She knew that her daughter had made some progress in practicing Taoism in the past few years, but she still felt unreal that she suddenly became a fairy girl praised and admired by her fellow villagers and neighbors.

"Dad, it's really my daughter."

He Xiugu admitted again.

"Then...are you really an immortal?"

He Tai didn't know how to continue the conversation, so he stammered and asked again.

"Dad, my daughter is not an immortal at the moment. She just has the ability to control the wind and rain, and subjugate demons. But if she continues to practice diligently, she will be able to rank among the immortals in the future."

He Xiugu shook her head and tried to explain things as simply as possible to the two elders.

"It's good to become an immortal, it's good to...become an immortal..."

He Tai's face was filled with excitement at first, but thinking that after Xiu Gu became an immortal, she would be different from the immortal world, and he would never see her again, his nose felt sore for no reason, and his words felt a bit bitter when they came to his mouth.

As for He Dou, she also thought of it. She didn't say anything and just followed silently.

But when she looked into He Xiugu's eyes, she felt a touch of relief.

When the conversation reached this point, He Xiugu's heart moved. She remembered her previous request to Han Xiangzi, and whispered in a low voice:

"Father, mother, I know you can't bear to leave me, but my daughter aspires to immortality. I'm sorry that it will be difficult for her to fulfill her filial piety in front of my two elders in the future."

"My daughter has already told the master that she will beg for a son for her parents."

The words fell.

He Dou's eyes turned red and tears fell.

He Tai felt uncomfortable when he saw it, and stretched out his chopsticks. He Xiugu picked up a piece of pork belly:

"First...eat first."

He Xiugu responded and started eating.

After a while, Ms. He Dou seemed to have adjusted her mood. Looking at He Xiugu's bowl, the bottom of her bowl was empty. As usual, she smiled and said:

"Xiu Gu, I'll give you another bowl."

"Thank you for your hard work, mother." He Xiugu did not refuse and smiled obediently.

This scene is just like when I was a child.

……

……

After eating, He Xiugu went to the quiet room to practice.

He Tai and his wife were left busy cleaning up.

In fact, she couldn't calm down at the moment.

The reason why he left in a hurry was to give his parents some room to relax their thoughts.

This time, Mr. He Dou cleaned up the dishes much slower than before:

"Ms. sir, what do you think?"

"Xiugu's child has looked unusual since she was born. In fact, ever since she was born and the Heavenly Master came to visit, I, the mother-in-law, have always had a premonition in my heart."

"One day, she will leave us."

"When I was a child, I always felt that life was slowing down, but in the blink of an eye Xiugu has grown so big."

"Right now, I haven't recovered yet, and she's leaving again..."

Mr. He Dou talked to himself and babbled.

Even, it's a bit verbose.

But when these words fell into the ears of He Xiugu, she realized the deep affection of Ladu.

He Tai suddenly held his head high and proudly said:

"It would be great if our beautiful aunt can become an immortal."

But as soon as he finished speaking, his voice weakened:

"As a father, I definitely support it. I just hope that she can come and visit more when we are both alive."

"What about having another child?" He Dou suddenly asked.

He Tai thought for a while and said:

"Yes. This child is thoughtful. I mentioned it to me last time, and now I'm saying it again. If I don't want it, we will make her worried..."

"Don't be ashamed!"

Hearing this, Mr. He Dou said something weird and walked towards the kitchen.

In response, He Tai smiled, his face full of sunshine.

He clearly saw that his wife's walking figure was much lighter.

He Tai looked back at Jingshi again and didn't speak for a long time.

……

……

A year passed.

In the middle of summer this year, He Tai and his wife really had a baby boy.

The whole family was overjoyed.

At the full moon, even the Taoist priest of Luofu Temple came down the mountain to ask for a wedding drink.

He also helped name the baby boy He Muyan.

Naturally, He Xiugu also came.

Now, He Xiugu has almost become a real fairy aunt.

His name spreads to Zengzhou, Lianzhou, Chaozhou and other places.

Even the current emperor had heard about He Xiangu's order and wanted to order her to come to Chang'an.

During these years, He Xiugu mostly traveled in Zengzhou and other places, occasionally teaching Dharma and rescuing suffering sentient beings.

His cultivation has improved a lot without even realizing it.

As for Zhou Lunchang, he went home and studied hard for a while.

In the autumn of this year, I won the imperial examination.

Unexpectedly, he was favored by the minister of the Ministry of Industry of the current dynasty, and he directly listed him as a son-in-law, so that he could marry his daughter.

When the news spread back to Zengzhou, everyone was in an uproar.

Many people never expected that Zhou Lunchang was actually a literary star from the sky who came down to earth and became a high school scholar!

He was also selected as the son-in-law of the Minister of Industry!

Now, his house is very lively.

Many relatives who could not reach him all came to his house to celebrate.

Some local gentry used various methods to send money and houses to his family.

Unexpectedly.

On the second day, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother actually found the He family in Guixiang and were grateful to the He Tai family.

It is said that his son was able to achieve today's fortune thanks to the enlightenment of the fairy girl in the past.

If it weren't for him, he might have drowned in the Guijiang River.

He also said that he would build a temple for the fairy in Guixiang.

Hearing Father Zhou and Mother Zhou say this, the people of Zengzhi were dumbfounded!

Unexpectedly, He Xiugu was so capable, and she had long predicted that Zhou Lunchang would be on the gold list!

Ever since.

As soon as the temple of He Xiugu in Guixiang was built, many people went to kneel down and pray for blessings on their children and increase in wealth.

……

……

As for Zhang Guolao, he swallowed the Earth Treasure Divine Bead that day, and after being promoted to a real person, he practiced with Tieguai Li for a while, and then honed himself in the world of mortals.

In the blink of an eye, five or six years have passed.

In recent years, in the capital of Chang'an, Zhenren Tongxuan was very famous, and his good deeds were highly praised by the Holy Emperor.

……

……

That night.

Chang'an, Zishi.

royal palace.

In the Qinzheng Hall, the lights are brightly lit.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is still reviewing the memorials. He intends to imitate Emperor Taizong and recreate a prosperous age. However, at present, the officials in the court are seriously ill, the aristocratic families are powerful, the vassal towns are gradually divided, and the entire Tang Dynasty seems to be trapped under multiple undercurrents.

He wanted to let go, but felt constrained everywhere.

If he were younger, Tang Huang would still have some energy.

But now, he has passed the age of knowing his destiny and is gradually becoming unable to do what he wants.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Cining Palace that the Queen Mother suddenly fell ill and fainted!"

at this time.

There was a personal father-in-law who hurried into the palace to report.

"What? Why don't you hurry up and declare the imperial doctor!"

Hearing this, Emperor Tang was still in the mood to review the memorial, so he quickly ordered.

"Mr. Chang has already gone," the father-in-law said again. The current Queen Mother is the concubine of the Tang Emperor. When she learned that he was seriously ill, her Majesty could not sit still and wanted to go to see the situation immediately:

"go!"

"Show off at Cining Palace!"

The words fell.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty left the palace, got on the chariot, and rushed towards Cining Palace.

……

……

Today's Queen Mother is ninety-nine in her sixties.

She is already close to her seventies, and although she is well-fed in the palace, she still inevitably gets seriously ill at such an age.

When Emperor Tang rushed to Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was still unconscious.

The servants and maids in the palace were already in a hurry.

Doctor Chang diagnosed and treated the patient with a stick of incense, but he didn't see anything wrong.

Fortunately, although the Queen Mother fell into a coma, her heartbeat was still there and she was not in fear of her life.

"What did the Queen Mother have for dinner tonight?"

Emperor Tang came to the palace and asked the nanny who was kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has had a bad appetite recently. She only ate a few mouthfuls of bird's nest chicken and a bowl of mandarin fish porridge at night."

The grandma said.

Emperor Tang couldn't hear anything from the food, so he had to look at Dr. Chang:

"Physician Chang, is there any problem with the diet?"

"As far as your majesty is concerned, there is no problem with the food."

"Why did the queen suddenly faint?"

Emperor Tang frowned, and the power of the emperor was released like thunder.

Imperial Physician Chang did not dare to look directly, so he could only whisper:

"Your Majesty, according to your official's diagnosis, the Queen Mother is suffering from head wind."

"Head wind syndrome?"

Emperor Tang was startled and asked again:

"Can this disease be cured?"

"This……"

"Your Majesty, I am sorry that I am useless. The cause of the disease cannot be found for the time being."

Dr. Chang's face turned bitter and he knelt down on the ground.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tang snorted coldly and cursed angrily:

"Humph!"

"You can't even treat a rheumatoid arthritis, so what do I need from you?"

Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Chang was shaken like chaff and did not dare to reply at all.

In recent years, as His Majesty has grown older, his temper has become much louder.

The killings carried out were also heavier than in the past.

Imperial Physician Chang didn't want to be caught in the crossfire at this time. Sometimes it was a skill to learn not to speak.

Seeing that Dr. Chang was silent, Emperor Tang looked annoyed and simply ordered:

"Go and call all the people from your hospital to treat the Queen Mother. If she doesn't wake up tomorrow, don't blame me for being unkind!"

"I'm going to go now!"

Doctor Chang quickly nodded in agreement.

After leaving Cining Palace, he hurried to the Imperial Hospital, found his colleagues, and then hurried back to see the Queen Mother.

Fortunately, there are still some experts in Taiyuan Hospital who specialize in treating head wind diseases.

After some acupuncture, the Queen Mother finally woke up before dawn.

As a result, Imperial Physician Chang and others were relieved.

This time, his life was saved.

But the good times did not last long. Although the Queen Mother woke up, her complexion was not very good. Emperor Tang saw this and always felt worried.

He also summoned Dr. Chang and others to inquire about the Queen Mother's condition.

In response, several people looked at each other and then hesitantly explained that according to the current development of the Queen Mother's condition, she would only have one year to live at most.

For that matter, the treasury still had to come up with those precious medicinal materials to survive.

Knowing that his mother's life was short, Emperor Tang became sullen and gloomy.

When the ministers saw this, how could they dare to say anything?

If you offend the Holy One at this time, you will be beheaded!

"Come here, please invite Master Tongyin into the palace!"

Emperor Tang sat on the dragon chair and was silent for a long time before he came up with a countermeasure. Since the medical skills of the Imperial Hospital could not save his mother, then he should ask those immortals to save her!

Therefore, he immediately thought of Master Tongyin.

This Master Tongyin is a disciple of Master Luofu.

He had received guidance from Master Dongxiao Guangji and Master Chunyang, and he must have been able to save his mother's life!

however.

When Master Tongyin entered the palace and took a look at the Queen Mother's condition, he expressed that he was helpless.

How long the Queen Mother will live is already determined in the book of life and death.

Right now, her time is running out, that's a given.

If he were to extend his life for the Queen Mother for a few more years, he would undoubtedly be acting against nature.

Therefore, Master Tongyin simply made it clear to the Emperor of Tang that he was also helpless to deal with the Empress Dowager's illness.

However, fearing that Emperor Tang would be held accountable, Master Tongyin changed the topic again and said that he could alleviate the Queen Mother's illness.

After hearing this, Emperor Tang's anger really subsided.

Let him act quickly.

For several nights in a row, Emperor Tang stayed in Cining Palace to take care of the Queen Mother.

Many ministers in the court learned that the Queen Mother was seriously ill, so they took out their treasured life-extending medicine to win the favor of the Emperor.

Among them, the Minister of the Ministry of War even offered suggestions and reported to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty:

"Your Majesty, I heard that Master Tongxuan is proficient in elixirs. Why not invite him to Chang'an to refine an elixir for the Queen Mother to prolong her life?"

Hearing this, Emperor Tang's eyes lit up, and hope ignited in his heart. He first praised the Minister of War:

"My dear, this is a wonderful plan!"

Then, he ordered:

"If you pass on the decree, General Hu Benwei Zhonglang of the Northern Division will go to deliver my decree and announce that Master Tongxuan has entered the capital!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

The Minister of War responded.

Early the next morning.

General Pei Yu of Huben Guards Zhonglang led a group of troops to leave Beijing and went to look for Zhang Guolao.

According to clues, Zhang Guolao appeared in Dengzhen Mountain ten months ago.

Therefore, Pei Hu and others rushed to Dengzhen Mountain.

……

……

And just when the Tang Emperor was about to announce his meeting with Zhang Guolao.

Zhongnan Mountain, Heling.

Han Xiangzi, who was practicing here, suddenly woke up from his trance. He counted with his fingers and realized that it was the time for Zhang Guolao to become an immortal.

Upon thinking of this, Han Xiangzi immediately set off to find Zhang Guolao.

……

Climb the real mountain.

Zhang Guolao has been practicing here for more than half a year.

Ever since he was promoted to a real person, Zhang Guolao has been practicing diligently according to the methods taught by his master Tieguai Li. He occasionally rides a donkey backwards and holds a fishing drum in his hand to persuade the world.

He has now completed the practice of the Taishang Dansha Technique given by his master. In the past few days, dragons and tigers are contending in his body, purple smoke is rising from the top, and from time to time he can hear the voices of immortals and Buddhas in the sky.

This day.

The yin and yang energy in Zhang Guolao's body traveled all over his body. He moved a little, and there was a loud thunder in the sky and the earth, wind and clouds gathered together, and auspicious colors shot into the sky.

He suddenly felt the urge to fly to the sky on the clouds.

After finally suppressing it, this throbbing became much more agitated.

At that moment, Zhang Guolao thought secretly:

"Could it be that this is a sign that the old Taoist has completed his merits and is about to become an immortal?"

As he finished speaking, golden light flashed in front of his eyes, and a faint figure came through the air, high-fiving and laughing:

"Congratulations, junior brother, you are about to ascend to heaven!"

Seeing the figure, Zhang Guolao quickly stood up and said helplessly:

"Senior Brother Han is joking, I don't know what to do?"

Han Xiangzi bowed his hands and said in a broad voice:

"Do not be nervous."

"Junior brother, please relax, you still have a certain calamity to go through. When this calamity is over, there will be a strong man from Heaven to take you up to heaven."

"Oh, the old Taoist is still in trouble?"

When Zhang Guolao heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he asked in surprise.

"This is natural." Han Xiangzi nodded.

And reminded:

"This calamity has arrived, junior brother, we must prepare early."

"What kind of calamity is it?"

Zhang Guolao's face was full of confusion, and he was counting with his fingers. He felt that his eyes were covered with confusion, and he had no way of knowing.

At least he now has five internal organs and one realm, and his divination and divination skills are quite good.

But for some reason, Zhang Guolao was never sure of his own.

"Can't say."

"Junior brother, follow your heart and you will be able to get through this."

Han Xiangzi smiled unexpectedly, and then disappeared from the place after speaking, leaving Zhang Guolao confused.

The strange thing is that as soon as he learned that his fate was not over, the previous visions of heaven and earth suddenly disappeared, as if they had never existed.

Zhang Guolao calculated it carefully again, but still found nothing.

In desperation, he had to calm down and feel neither sadness nor joy.

……

……

in a blink.

Three days pass.

On this day, Pei Hu and others, led by the local magistrate and Li Zheng, came to Dengzhen Mountain.

"General, that immortal is in this mountain!"

The county magistrate, wearing a blue official robe, pointed at the high mountains and spoke to Pei Mo and others.

"Is this Mount Denzhen?"

Pei Me raised his eyes and looked up, but when he saw this mountain, with deep forests and secluded valleys, and distant green mountains, his heart felt painful.

How can we find Master Tongxuan in such a huge mountain?

……
