Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 60 Pretending to be a magic stick again
Half a month has passed in a hurry. At this time, the temperature in Beijing is four to five degrees above zero during the day and four to five degrees below zero at night.There was a thin layer of ice on all the rivers, and the cold air coming from Siberia was so cold that people didn’t want to go out.

On this day, Wang Daoqiu was staying at home, studying, when suddenly Sanniang, a little girl wrapped up like a rice dumpling, opened the door and walked in.As soon as she came in, she said in a coquettish voice: "Uncle, there is an uncle outside the door looking for you. Mom asked Sanniang to call you."

"Okay, mistress, uncle, let's go out right now. You can stay warm in uncle's room, which will save your mother from having to work again."

Seeing how cute the little Sanniang was, Wang Daoqiu couldn't help but pinched the little Sanniang's little red face and said.

After hearing what Wang Daoqiu said, the little Sanniang quickly shook her little head and said like an adult: "No, no, being lazy is not a good child. Sanniang likes to work."

All right!It seems that all children like to work, and laziness is something you only learn when you grow up.Respecting the nature of children, Wang Daoqiu said nothing more on this matter, pinched Sanniang's little face again, and walked out.

When I came to the entrance of the courtyard, I saw a rough man standing here. When the man saw Wang Daoqiu, he clasped his fists and bowed: "My subordinate Teng Snake has met your Excellency."

Soaring snake!This name is mighty enough, Wang Daoqiu has the impression that he heard Lu Bing call his personal guard that way.

Knowing that this man was Lu Bing's personal guard, Wang Daoqiu hurriedly asked: "Master Lu sent you here, right? Does Master Lu have anything to do with me?"

"My lord, the day after tomorrow is November [-]th, the birthday of our Commander-in-Chief. The big banquet will be held in the Commander-in-Chief's residence in the evening, and the small banquet will be held in Baiyun Temple at noon. The Commander-in-Chief invites you, and it must be held on the day after tomorrow. Before Si hour, we arrived at Baiyun Temple and there was a distinguished person."

Before Si hour, that is, before nine o'clock in the morning in future generations.Noble man, this noble man should undoubtedly be Emperor Jiajing.

After understanding this, Wang Daoqiu said to Teng She, "I understand. Report back to Mr. Lu and say that Wang will definitely arrive at Baiyun Temple before six o'clock on the [-]th."

"promise"

After finishing the errand, Teng She accepted the promise and left.After Wang Daoqiu returned to his room, he began to think about what birthday gift he should prepare for Lu Bing the day after tomorrow.

Somehow, when thinking about birthday gifts, he thought of the Taoist priests at Baiyunguan.These Taoist priests in ancient China can be said to be batches of chemists. They inadvertently obtained many chemical achievements when they were pursuing longevity and refining those bullshit "elixir".For example, gunpowder and sulfuric acid, now known as "green vitriol oil".

During the period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty from 650 to 683 AD in my country, the alchemist Gu Gangzi recorded in Volume [-] of his "Huangdi Jiuding Shendan Jingjue" the "method of refining stone gallbladder to extract the essence", that is, dry distillation of gallbladder alum. Obtain sulfuric acid.

Sad!The Chinese were able to refine sulfuric acid in the early Tang Dynasty, but these results were all foolishly used to refine "elixir".What a waste!
To be honest, those Taoist priests in China are engaged in the chemical industry, although their motives are rather magical.But with the blessing of faith, they were not afraid of life and death, full of exploration, and unintentionally produced many results.It's just that most of these achievements have been lost in the long river of history under the test standard of whether they can make "elixir".

The Taoist priests conducted chemical experiments again and again, but they didn't know whether those results were useful, and what was the use?But Wang Daoqiu knows!Even Wang Daoqiu could use the information in the library to let those professional alchemy Taoist priests to experiment and come up with those chemical raw materials.

Wang Daoqiu became excited when he thought of the bright prospects. He seemed to see tens of thousands of chemical engineering professionals waiting for him to recruit them.

As a soul who traveled through time after the new millennium, Wang Daoqiu is too aware of the impact of the chemical industry on a country's strength.It is necessary to recruit Taoist priests who have rich experience in alchemy.

However, those people are full of feudal superstitions. If you tell them about the principles of strengthening the country and ensuring peace, you will definitely be wasting your words.After all, their ambition is to go to heaven and become an immortal, not to stay on earth.Since reasoning is definitely unreasonable, how can you make them listen to you?

Thinking of this, Wang Daoqiu thought about it and came up with a strategy.Aren't those Taoist priests living in the human world, but their hearts are in heaven?Okay, then I will shock you both in the human world and in the fairy world, and convince you.

Having made up his mind, Wang Daoqiu pretended to sleep as soon as he turned off the lights for the next two nights, but in fact his soul traveled back to the library to study Taoist theories and some charlatanism that had only developed in modern times.

At night the soul travels back to the library to learn deceptions, and during the day he bolts the door, and he experiments those deceptions in the house.On the morning of November [-]th, Wang Daoqiu, who had great ideals in his heart, rode the good Dawan horse given to him by Lu Bing and went to Baiyun Temple outside Xibian Gate.

Baiyun Temple in Beijing is located outside Xibianmen in Beijing. It is the ancestral temple of the Quanzhen Longmen Sect of Taoism. It enjoys the reputation of "Quanzhen's No. [-] Jungle" and has a lofty status in the minds of the majority of Taoists.

Emperor Jiajing designated Baiyun Temple, a Taoist holy place, to celebrate the birthday of his little brother Lu Bing. I have to say that this is very Jiajing.

Wang Daoqiu was sent by Lu Bing three days ago to inform him that he would go to Baiyun Temple before [-] o'clock today.When he rode his horse to Baiyun Temple, the place was surrounded by Jinyi guards.

After getting off the horse, he led the horse and walked over. He hasn't spoken yet!Two guards in golden clothes ran over, one helped him lead the horse, and the other clasped his fists and bowed: "Sir, the commander has sent the younger one to wait for you here. He said that as soon as you arrive, he will let the younger one lead you in."

"Thank you. Let's lead the way."

"promise"

Following this Jin Yiwei, Wang Daoqiu entered Baiyun Temple.

Entering the Baiyun Temple, the Jin Yiwei walked and talked to Wang Daoqiu: "Sir, is this your first time coming to the Baiyun Temple?" "Yes, this Baiyun Temple is really magnificent when you look at it!"

"That's right, I'm telling you, this Baiyun Temple is divided into three roads: middle, east and west, as well as the backyard. It is large in scale and compact in layout. The middle road starts from the screen wall outside the mountain gate, and there are screen walls, archways, mountain gates, and nests in sequence. Fengqiao, Lingguan Hall, Bell and Drum Tower, Sanguan Hall, Wealth Hall, Jade Emperor Hall, Suffering Suffering Hall, Medicine King Hall, Laolu Hall, Qiu Zu Hall and Sanqing and Siyu Halls.”

“On Baiyunguan West Road there are Shente, Ancestral Hall, Eight Immortals Hall, Luzu Hall, Yuanjun Hall, Wenchang Hall, Yuanchen Hall, etc.; on Baiyunguan East Road there are Sanxing Hall, Cihang Hall, Zhenwu Hall and Leizu Hall; while Baiyunguan East Road has Sanxing Hall, Cihang Hall, Zhenwu Hall and Leizu Hall; The backyard of the temple is a quiet and elegant garden, named Yunji Garden, also known as Xiao Penglai. Sir, when I was sent out to wait for you, the commander was worshiping the statue of the Heavenly Master in the Jade Emperor Hall. We If you look down this line, you'll definitely find them."

"Okay, thank you for your work." The Jin Yiwei was very careful in what he said, never mentioning that Emperor Jiajing was also there.Wang Daoqiu also pretended to be ignorant and did not ask about Emperor Jiajing's affairs.

Just following the Jin Yiwei forward, Wang Daoqiu saw a bunch of Jin Yiwei guarding the entrance to the Palace of Sanqing and Siyu, passing by the Jade Emperor Palace and Qiu Zu Palace.

There are a bunch of royal guards guarding the door here. It would be too retarded to even guess who is in the palace.So as soon as he arrived here, the Jin Yiwei who led Wang Daoqiu hurriedly said goodbye to Wang Daoqiu and let Wang Daoqiu go in by himself.

After bidding farewell to the imperial guards who led the way, Wang Daoqiu entered the Palace of the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Palaces. When he looked up, he saw seven statues of the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Palaces that were more than two meters high, with peaceful and extraordinary expressions, bright colors, and were gorgeous yet simple.There is also a gilt-copper cauldron in the middle of the hall. It has a thick shape and exquisite cloud and dragon patterns carved all over it. It looks very tall.

When Wang Daoqiu entered the palace, Emperor Jiajing was devoutly offering incense to the statue of the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty under the guidance of an old Taoist priest.However, unlike us ordinary people, Emperor Jiajing did not kneel when offering incense, but only bowed and lowered his head a few times to show respect for the Three Pure Ones.

Seeing Wang Daoqiu come in, Lu Bing was worried that Emperor Jiajing was offering incense, so he didn't say anything, but just gestured to Wang Daoqiu to come and stand next to him.

Wang Daoqiu walked to Lu Bing's side and didn't say anything. He just stood quietly until Emperor Jiajing finished offering incense to the Three Purities and Four Imperial Palaces.When Lu Fang handed the wet wipes to Emperor Jiajing to clean his hands, Emperor Jiajing saw Wang Daoqiu coming.

When he saw Wang Daoqiu, the "money tree" that helped him make a lot of money, Emperor Jiajing was happy and said to Wang Daoqiu with a smile: "Lu Bing is today's birthday man, and I will give him my head today. So Jie Yuan Lang, come and offer incense to the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty, so that the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty can also bless and protect you!"

"It's your Majesty. It's time for me to offer incense to the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasties. To be honest with Your Majesty, as soon as I entered this hall just now, I felt that Yuanshi Tianzun among the Patriarchs of the Three Qing Dynasties was smiling at me with kind eyes and kind intentions. In the dark, I seem to have heard Yuanshi Tianzun telling me that I have a celestial destiny, that my predecessor was his disciple, and that my mind can be passed on to him."

He is destined to be immortal, and his predecessor was a disciple of Wu Shi Tian Zun. This nonsense has no scientific basis!Emperor Jiajing and Lu Bing were confused after hearing Wang Daoqiu's feudal superstition. They didn't know whether what Wang Daoqiu said was true or false.

After all, Wang Daoqiu's words sound like nonsense, but Wang Daoqiu's identity is Jieyuan, Zhejiang, a scholar, not a Buddhist.Wang Daoqiu was a person who took the imperial examination and was a cultivator, so he was not the same person!Then why does he want to associate himself with gods?
Emperor Jiajing and Lu Bing didn't quite believe Wang Daoqiu's words, but they felt that Wang Daoqiu had no reason to lie.So for a moment, the two of them were stunned.

Seeing that Emperor Jiajing and Lu Bing did not believe in him, Wang Daoqiu did not explain, walked over to the altar table in front of the statue of Yuanshi Tianzun, and pulled out a spiritual talisman.

Of course, after taking this talisman, Wang Daoqiu used the cover of the large armhole of his student uniform to exchange this talisman with a talisman prepared in advance in his armhole.

After changing the talisman, Wang Daoqiu pretended to hold the talisman in his hand and kowtowed to Yuanshi Tianzun.After knocking his head to the ground three times, Wang Daoqiu got up from the ground, folded the talisman into a square tube shape, and stood on the altar table.

Then he held the lit incense candle in his hand, faced the statue of Yuanshi Tianzun, and said loudly: "Master, if the disciple's previous body is really your disciple; if you are still willing to accept the disciple as your disciple in the present body, then this talisman is the disciple." The apprenticeship invitation, please accept it!"

After speaking, Wang Daoqiu lit the talisman with the incense candle in his hand.Then he retreated behind the futon where he was kneeling, and stood there waiting quietly until the fire almost reached the bottom of the talisman. Then Wang Daoqiu raised his left hand and shouted: "Master, accept the disciple! Get up!"

Following Wang Daoqiu's roar, the fireball that had almost reached the bottom of the talisman suddenly flew up to Lao Gao.Fortunately, by coincidence, it happened to fall on the outstretched hand of Yuanshi Tianzun. It really seemed that Yuanshi Tianzun accepted Wang Daoqiu's "apprenticeship invitation".

You have to wait until the iron is hot, and God has helped me so much, so what else is there to say?As soon as the talisman, which had just been burnt to ashes by the fire, fell into the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun, Wang Daoqiu knelt on his knees and sang loudly: "Thank you, Master, for accepting more disciples."

After he finished speaking, Wang Daoqiu banged his head three more times at the statue of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Wang Daoqiu's series of coquettish moves stunned Emperor Jiajing, Lu Bing and all the Taoist priests in the palace.

You say that Yuanshi Tianzun really accepted Wang Daoqiu as his disciple. This is too unbelievable. But if you say that Wang Daoqiu is pretending to be a god, but the talisman belongs to Baiyun Guan.

Moreover, everyone could see clearly just now that the burning talisman jumped up from the altar table and flew straight up. It was not blown up by the wind.What's more, after the spiritual talisman was burned out, it fell into the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun.

These are all incredible. If you say these are coincidences, no one in the palace will believe you, especially the Taoist priests.After all, they are industry insiders in this industry. How can they not know whether it is a magic trick?

So when all this was over, several old Taoists in the palace instinctively took out a magic talisman from the altar table and lit it on the altar table like Wang Daoqiu did just now.

When none of the spiritual talismans flew up, they were all burned up on the altar table.The old Taoists all knelt down at Wang Daoqiu's feet without being greeted by anyone, calling them "immortals and real people", just like lamas worshiping reincarnation.
