With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 46 Wrong road

The old eunuch's promise did not come true.

He did it.

However, it was not completely accomplished.

The day after he met Li Zhen at Chuixiang Tower.

News came from the palace.

Taoist Tian, ​​who had already resigned from his post with the emperor and returned home, planned to go back to accept disciples and pass on the mantle.

On the way out of Beijing, he was chased by secret guards.

The crime is: the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Taking advantage of the emperor's trust in him, he kidnapped children in the capital and practiced evil arts.

He was sent to the prison and asked to be executed on a certain day.

And Zhao Chang himself, in his will, also showed that he had made mistakes in knowing people but not knowing others.

The families of those victims are now allowed to collect the remains of the deceased.

And, provide compensation.

Ordinary people are always ignorant and blindly trusting.

Although some people desperately raised doubts.

But still, he was drowned in the wave of requests for Lingchi to execute Taoist Tian.

The dark clouds that had shrouded the capital for a long time dispersed.

Everything seems to have returned to its original state.

But, can this really be the case?
  "It's just a cover-up!"

Chuixiang Tower.

Li Zhen calmly stared at the uninvited person in front of him.

Wearing the crane's Wanshou Taoist robe, Chang Zhao had an unnaturally rosy face.

I said these words in my heart.

"Even the Taoist Priest doesn't believe that I can refine the elixir of immortality?"

Zhao Chang seemed to have no regrets at all.

His slightly bloodshot eyes stared at Li Zhen, urging him for an answer.

There was a hint of hysterical madness in his eyes.

Like a gambler who loses everything at the gambling table.

In the end, he put his life on the line.

"His Majesty."

Li Zhen looked gurgling.

He was not at all intimidated by his identity or aura.

The tone was cold and flat:
  "Whether he will live forever or not is still unknown."

"But, your path is wrong."

It's a bit impatient to press.

I want to hold my hand and pat the watermelon.

He glanced at the smiling figure following Zhao Chang.

Li Zhen thought to himself that this old eunuch didn't believe him.

"wrong?"

Zhao Chang was startled when he heard this.

Then, he glanced at him contemptuously and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha!"

"I was wrong? How could I be wrong!"

The voice suddenly turned serious.

The broad sleeves swept, and there was a gust of wind.

He turned his back on Li Zhen and faced Tiandu Peak, which was half hidden in the clouds with his hands behind his hands.

He said categorically:
  "I'm not wrong."

"I will definitely let you see what true immortality is!"

Zhao Chang left.

Watching him leave.

Li Zhen, standing in front of the Chuixiang Tower, shook his head slightly.

If God wants him to die, he will make him mad.

There is no doubt that Chang Zhao has gone crazy.

He has truly turned into a lunatic who blindly pursues immortality.

And what kind of things can such a person do?

In other words, it’s not surprising at all.

just
  "I hope you can keep your word."

"Be able to take good care of him in this last moment."

The moment the figure disappeared from his sight, a cold light flashed in Li Zhen's eyes.

To be honest, he regretted what he said to Chang Zhao in the dungeon.

If it hadn't been for that, maybe he wouldn't have been able to convince Zhao Shenyue.

Then he will not be the emperor now.

And spent the rest of his life under house arrest.

For him, it might not be a bad thing.

However, it is too late to say this now.

Li Zhen smiled boringly and looked back.

Now, it depends on whether the old eunuch will continue to fulfill his promise.

If that doesn't work.

He didn't mind reversing the misunderstanding back then with his own hands.

after all:

It's not too late to make amends.

The eldest princess of Zhou Dynasty.     The supervision of Guan Tianjian.

It seems that it is always mysterious.

Suddenly, she could not be found.

Li Zhen has forgotten that this is the first time this month that he has gone to Tiandu Peak to see Zhao Shenyue.

But the answer I got every time was exactly the same.

"The eldest princess has to go out on important matters."

After returning without success again, Li Zhen was relieved.

She didn't care at all about the affairs of their old Zhao family.

As an outsider, I always think about what they do.

During this period of time, I just have too much leisure.

Then I thought, I'm looking for trouble.

After understanding this, Li Zhen returned to his old life rhythm.

In the morning, I set up my fishing rod next to the river pond and wait for the fish to take the bait.

In the meantime, read books and read scriptures.

From morning to night, the day passed like this.

In addition, there was chaos outside the capital, and the fight was fierce.

No one would come to his small Chuixiang Building at this time.

As a result, Li Zhen also enjoyed his leisure time.

However, he was at leisure.

But the turmoil inside and outside the capital has still not subsided.

In fact, it is getting worse.

Zhao Chang in the palace was quiet a lot, and there was no movement.

I don’t know if it was in the last days of my life.

Still indulged in his dream of alchemy.

Outside the capital, the situation became increasingly chaotic.

The "rogue thieves" in the north seem to be unkillable.

Constantly flowing and eroding in all directions.

Many generals in the army were in dire straits, but there was nothing they could do for a short period of time.

On the contrary, things in the south have taken a turn for the better.

Success is also a green forest, failure is also a green forest.

The pattern of thirty-six leaders' joint uprising created their great situation.

But it also limits their development.

After quite smooth progress at the beginning.

The shortsightedness of the rebels was clearly exposed, and they began to fight among themselves.

In just over a month, more than a dozen rebel armies under different banners were annexed.

Then, more popped up.

It spins up and disappears in just an instant.

The entire south can almost be said to be caught in a warlord melee.

This can be said to be the only good news for Zhou who is trapped in the quagmire of civil strife.

After all, as long as the unrest in the south stops spreading to the Central Plains.

After the imperial court has cleaned up the mess in the north, it will turn around and clean up the grass-headed kings in the south.

It can almost be said that it is pinched in hand.

Everyone in the court has a high degree of confidence in this.

All the officials in the imperial court, except the emperor, were united.

When preparing to clean up the old rivers and mountains.

A man went to the capital alone.

Chuixiang Tower.

Since more than a year ago, all the zhenqi in the whole body has been converted into "Xiantian Yiqi".

Li Zhen needs much less sleep a day.

Even though it was already late at night, he was still reading by candlelight.

But suddenly, the candlelight flickered.

He looked up and looked out the window.

Under the moonlight, a slightly shining head emerged.

See him looking over.

He raised the wine jar in his hand and grinned at him.

Li Zhen also laughed.

While meditating on the sutra today, he felt something in his heart.

I always feel that something will happen.

What I didn't expect was that an old friend like Murong Tao would show up.

Putting down the Daozang in his hand, Li Zhen asked with some confusion:
  "Didn't you leave Beijing and return to your hometown?"

"Why, I can't survive at home, so I'm back again."

"Hey, I'm ashamed to say that."

Murong Tao touched his bald head and seemed a little embarrassed.

"That scoundrel in my family has done some great things over the years."

"I came to Beijing this time to ask you something."

The expression on his face moved, and Li Zhen was a little curious.

"Talking while drinking?"

Murong Tao shook the wine jar in his hand towards him.

"it is good."

Li Zhen readily agreed.
