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

Hearing what Immortal Hongya said, Han Xiangzi suddenly woke up and understood.

"I feel ashamed to say that after so many years as a disciple, I have only managed to compose and play a piece of heavenly music. However, I have lost the reputation of my master."

Faced with such praise, Han Xiangzi said with a smile.

"Young Master is too humble to be a teacher. Don't you know what level your music has reached?"

Immortal Hongya replied angrily, but in fact he felt extremely happy.

In his opinion, this heavenly song has already surpassed the previous heavenly songs.

If it is passed down, it will definitely become a classic of Taoist music for a generation and will be remembered for generations to come.

Han Xiangzi smiled and said nothing.

After a few breaths, he replied:

"This song has been given the name "Tianhua Yin" by Daode Tianzun."

""Tianhua Yin"?" Immortal Hongya muttered in a low voice and wrote down the title of the song.

Ever since.

The master and apprentice walked towards the main hall while chatting.

Immortal Hongya sat in front of the hall and ordered Tong'er to bring a bottle of fairy fruit wine. Then he Shiran and started chatting with Han Xiangzi:

"Xiangzi, I have thought about it as a teacher. It should be quite smooth for you to advance to the realm of the Great Emperor."

"But I never expected it to be so fast."

"In less than two months, I have already opened up the immortal land and realized the great road."

Han Xiangzi said helplessly:

"Time waits for us not. If we wait any longer, we will be in trouble."

After saying this, Immortal Hongya wrinkled his face slightly, pondered for a moment or two, and then asked curiously:

"That day, I heard about the battle between you and Ao Lin, the crown prince of the East China Sea, in the human world. I was curious, how could Ao Lin, who has the body of a dragon, fight with you?"

To know.

At that time, Han Xiangzi was the second-rank righteous god Dongxuan Emperor in Heaven.

His strength is so strong that he has no rivals below the Great Emperor.

As for Aolin, he comes from the East China Sea.

Among the four seas, only the four dragon kings have the realm of true kings.

Even if he could compete with Han Xiangzi, he would have to rely on the power of the world.

Immortal Hongya really couldn't figure it out, how could Ao Lin have the strength to compete with his disciple?

Han Xiangzi sighed softly and explained:

"Master, I don't know, but Ao Lin colluded with Dragon Demon, a giant in ancient times, hundreds of years ago. With his help, we have the current climate."

"As for that dragon demon, judging from the disciples, he was probably comparable to the Half-Step Heavenly Lord in his prime. Now that he is making a comeback, he is bound to hit the realm of Heavenly Lord!"

"what?!"

Immortal Hongya exclaimed with an expression of disbelief: "Compared to the Heavenly Lord?"

"This……"

As the great emperor, Great Immortal Hongya naturally knows how powerful Tianzun is!

Needless to say, Tian Zun has at least the ten magical powers of the Taoist sect, and the fairy land he has opened has long been comparable to the Three Realms and Six Paths. He also has the eight bodies of Tian Zun and other wisdom fruits in his body. His method ability is not comparable to that of the Great Emperor.

"Unexpectedly, you Eight Immortals in the Upper Cave would have such a formidable enemy?"

Immortal Hongya said in astonishment.

However, as soon as he thought about it, Immortal Hongya opened his eyes wide and said urgently:

"So, if you Eight Immortals in the Shangdong escape from this calamity, a Heavenly Lord will be born!"

"Xiangzi, you..."

Immortal Hongya could not continue talking.

After all, judging from the current situation, his disciple Han Xiangzi is the most likely to achieve the position of Heavenly Lord!

After all, among the eight immortals in Shangdong, he was the first to attain the status of emperor!

He also attained the eight bodies of the Two-flavored God.

When it comes to emotion and reason, Han Xiangzi is the most qualified!

It’s nothing more than Hongya Immortal thinking too much!

In response, Han Xiangzi shook his head and smiled:

"Hey, Master is joking. My disciple still has four great magical powers that he has yet to realize. The remaining six flavors and eight bodies of Heavenly Master are still there. I don't know how long it will take to realize them?"

"The great catastrophe of the Eight Immortals is likely to come before the end of the year!"

"How can my disciple dare to make false claims about attaining the position of Heavenly Lord in such a short period of time?"

Immortal Hongya had a different view. He frowned and said:

"Why don't you dare to lie? You have only been practicing Taoism for five hundred years and you have been promoted to the Great Emperor."

"In short, everything that happened to you seems to be impossible to understand with common sense!"

The words fell.

Han Xiangzi couldn't help but feel slightly stunned.

In his opinion, the Nine-Colored Lotus was indispensable for his rapid growth.

Perhaps, it has something to do with the fact that one day he will be able to become a god.

Speaking of the Nine-Colored Lotus, we have to talk about Taiyi’s rescue of Ku Tianzun.

Strictly speaking, the guide on Han Xiangzi's spiritual journey should be this Heavenly Lord!

"It seems that after asking about Xiugu's situation, Pindao should go to Miaoyan Palace."

Thinking of this, Han Xiangzi thought to himself.

Putting aside his thoughts, Han Xiangzi asked Immortal Hongya about Ao Jiao's situation:

"Master, I wonder what happened to Ao Jiao's robbery?"

Right now, Donghai is undergoing drastic changes, and she is afraid she still doesn’t know about it.

"It's almost time. She can be promoted to True Lord within a few seconds." Immortal Hongya replied thoughtfully.

"How's Xiugu?" Han Xiangzi asked again.

Immortal Hongya pondered for a while and said:

"I'm afraid it's almost the same as Jiao'er."

No matter how you say it, He Xiugu can be regarded as his disciple.

Immortal Hongya will naturally care.

Then He Xiugu was fully prepared before practicing in Jiji.

Therefore, after entering the Yao land of the Queen Mother, the robbery was also very fast.

Of course, her calamity is not comparable to that of Han Xiangzi and Lu Dongbin.

But among the True Lord Yiying in Heaven, his calamity is not low.

After talking about this, Immortal Hongya went straight to the topic and asked Han Xiangzi to play "Tianhua Yin" for him. After playing the song, Immortal Hongya came to his senses after a while, smacked his lips and praised:

"Disciple, this song "Tianhua Yin", as a teacher, if you go back and correct it more carefully, it will be the best one today!"

"Master is overly praised."

Such a high evaluation really flattered Han Xiangzi.

He responded solemnly:

"Don't worry, Master. This disciple will definitely make corrections when he turns around."

To know.

In later generations, his song "Tianhua Yin" became a classic music of Taoism and was widely circulated.

Wherever there is a Taoist temple, there is always music played on the flute.

Han Xiangzi stayed in Zangzhen Palace for a few days, and then went to Miaoyan Palace to pay homage to Taiyi, the God who saved suffering.

The reason why he was able to become a great emperor within five hundred years was because of Taiyi's great help from the Kutian Lord.

If not, how could he be the great emperor?

After paying homage to Taiyi, Lord Kutian, Han Xiangzi returned to Lihentian and practiced hard.

Decided to understand the remaining four magical powers.

Forty-eight days of this retreat passed quietly.

In the human world, forty-eight years have passed.

……

……

It is said that the ancestors of the Zhao family took the Song Dynasty as their country's name and made Kaifeng their capital.

Over the years, his throne has passed through Taizu, Taizong, Zhenzong, and now Renzong for four generations.

Thanks to the great achievements of the former emperor, by the time of Renzong, the country of Zhao and Song Dynasty had become a prosperous country.

The people live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy harmony.

……

…    This day.

Great Song Dynasty, Kaifeng.

Cao Mansion.

In the flower hall, Mrs. Cao looked at the woman pruning flowers in the courtyard and said with a smile:

"Yun'er, a few days ago, I went to Guanli to burn incense for my mother, and by the way, I asked for a good marriage for you. The old Taoist said that the Shangyuan Festival the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day, and it coincides with the flowers and the full moon, so I can protect you. Meet the right man."

The woman has a graceful figure, wearing a smoky lavender skirt. Her face is like a peach blossom, her eyebrows are noble, and she has the appearance of a fish or a wild goose.

This woman's name is Cao Lanyun, and she is the sister of Cao Jingxiu, a member of the Ministry of Justice (wailang) from the sixth rank.

"Mom, my daughter won't go anywhere during the Lantern Festival. She will stay at home with you."

"The eldest brother is not married yet, so my daughter is not impatient."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cao frowned and said displeasedly:

"Don't talk nonsense. You are not young anymore. It's time to get married. You should find a good husband while you are still young and beautiful."

"As for your eldest brother?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Cao's face paused, showing a look of helplessness and sigh:

"A few years ago, he passed the Jinshi examination. This was supposed to be a matter of honor for the ancestors. Who knew that once he became so rigid in studying, he would completely disown his relatives."

"He was not in charge of the Wanguan Bank case, but he insisted on getting involved, and even impeached the Minister of Justice. Fortunately, your father still had some connections during his lifetime. Cover this matter for him, otherwise our Cao family will be in the clear. Provoke the powerful.”

"If it doesn't work out, we'll have to move the whole family out of the capital with him!"

It turns out that the Cao family has been officials for generations.

Cao Jingxiu's father, Cao Qi, also served in the Sixth Ministry during his lifetime and made many friends.

Even though he has passed away now, there is still some kindness left

The Minister of Punishment is the current Prime Minister's favorite disciple, and he is very favored by the Holy Spirit.

Cao Guojiu was an official of the sixth rank, but if he encountered bad luck, he would not be able to reap any good fruits.

Therefore, when those people saw the memorial handed over by Cao Guojiu, they paid close attention to it. After taking a closer look, they discovered that he actually impeached the minister of punishment, so they quickly stopped the memorial!

Immediately, he sent someone to tell Mrs. Cao about the matter.

Mrs. Cao has followed Cao Qi in Beijing for many years. How could she not know the intrigues and intrigues in the officialdom?

Therefore, after Cao Jingxiu returned home, he reprimanded him severely.

Hearing this, Cao Lanyun frowned slightly and said:

"Mom, there are rumors about this case. It was the minister of the Ministry of Punishment who judged the case unfairly, accepted bribes, and misjudged the case. The victim found the elder brother. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he wrote a note and begged the Holy One to retry the case."

"Our Holy Lord is a benevolent king, how can we not distinguish between good and bad?"

The words fell.

The wrinkles on Mother Cao's aging face were a little deeper. She spoke earnestly and preached:

"It is true that Your Majesty is a benevolent king, but our family is small and cannot bear those people. God knows when those people will stumbling upon you in the future? If you can bear it, why bother meddling in your own business?"

"There are so many sufferings in the world. How can your brother manage them all if he takes care of them all?"

"Yun'er, Mom knows that you have a good relationship with your eldest brother. He has been banned from home by me these days and has been angry. Please persuade her on behalf of Mom."

After hearing this, Cao Lanyun wanted to make a few refutations.

But after thinking about it seriously for a while, I felt that what my mother said made sense.

Feeling a little sad in her heart, Cao Lanyun sighed helplessly:

"Ugh……"

She turned around and went to Cao Jingxiu's study.

……

……

"Brother, are you asleep?"

The night was dark, and the silver moon in the sky was like a disk. Cao Lanyun came outside the study, lightly opened the door, and asked in a low voice.

"Didn't sleep."

Someone in the room replied.

Immediately, Cao Lanyun heard the sound of footsteps.

Not long after, the door was opened.

Cao Lanyun met her eldest brother.

Cao Jingxiu is now less than thirty years old. He has a handsome face and has been an official for several years. He also has some official power, but in his eyebrows, he can't hide the integrity of his writings as a scholar.

After staying at home for a few days, Cao Jingxiu looked a little haggard.

Cao Lanyun stood outside the door, looked in, and found that the paper and ink on the case were scattered and it was a complete mess.

"Yunmei, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Cao Jingxiu asked.

Cao Lanyun didn't know how to speak, so she hesitated for a moment and then whispered:

"Mom asked me to advise you to stop taking care of the Wanguan Bank case."

"The Minister of Justice was not offended by our Cao family."

When these words fell into Cao Jingxiu's ears, his expression changed and he said in confusion:

"Yunmei, you have always known my elder brother's character and supported his decision. Why have you changed your mind now?"

"What on earth did mother tell you?"

Cao Lanyun smiled helplessly and said:

"Brother, mother said, if you continue like this, it will harm our family. I am a benevolent king and will not kill civil servants, but if you offend Long Yan, our family will be released from the capital."

"Mom is so old, she can't bear running around. Besides, what if my little brother comes back here one day and finds that we are not here?"

"This……"

Upon hearing the second part of the sentence, Cao Jingxiu was stunned.

He suddenly stood there with a complex look on his face, as if he was distressed and guilty...

in fact.

The Cao family also has a son.

His name is Cao Jingqian, the younger brother of Cao Jingxiu and Cao Lanyun.

Ranked smallest in the family.

However, when he was young, he was accidentally lost when Cao Jingxiu took him out to play.

Over the years, the Cao family has mobilized all their contacts to search, but in the end they couldn't find anyone.

And Cao Jingxiu has been feeling guilty for many years, always feeling that this incident was his fault.

If he hadn't taken his little brother out, maybe he wouldn't have gotten lost.

While thinking about it, Cao Jingxiu felt deeply powerless, struggled in his heart, and finally sighed heavily:

"Yunmei, go back and tell mother. I've figured it out and know what to do."

"Brother, please rest early."

Cao Lanyun understood her elder brother's state of mind at this moment, so she said goodbye and left without saying anything more.

After she left, Cao Jingxiu returned to the study and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the sages' books in the room...

……

……

One day passed.

On the second day, it is the Lantern Festival.

As night falls, the entire city of Kaifeng is ablaze with lights, neon lights, moonlight, and red and blue cages, which is very beautiful.

Cao Lanyun and Mrs. Cao couldn't resist, so they had to bring two maids with them to go out to the lantern party with her.

As for Cao Jingxiu, he was in a depressed mood these days and did not go out. He just enjoyed the moon at home.

It is said that Cao Lanyun and two maids left the Cao Mansion and came to the Long Street. They saw a large flow of people on the street, clouds of stalls, and the people were rubbing shoulders, shouting, laughing, and the sound of firecrackers... From then on, People came from all directions, making people truly feel the excitement of the Shangyuan Festival.

Cao Lanyun felt that the street was crowded, so she looked around and saw many people setting off lanterns on the bridge not far away.

Along with the gurgling water waves, the lantern gradually drifted away, revealing a touch of blurred beauty.

Cao Lanyun became interested in this and called the maid forward.

However, as soon as she reached the bridge, she suddenly felt a thin boy walking towards her. When he passed by her, he seemed to touch her waist with his hand.

Facing such frivolous behavior, Cao Lanyun frowned slightly and became a little angry.

He couldn't help but look up, only to find that the man had long since disappeared.

"Miss, you lost your wallet!"
