Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

"Master, your magic water is really amazing. It helped the grandmother. The grandmother really wants to appreciate the style of you, the divine monk."

Chu Ling put down the teacup and stared at Fakong with bright eyes.

Fakong was wearing a purple and gold cassock, his expression was calm and calm, he smiled and sipped a sip of tea, and shook his head.

"Not going?" Chu Ling frowned: "Why not? Is the Forbidden Palace a den of dragons and tigers, afraid of eating you?"

"Your Highness is right, the Forbidden Palace is indeed a den of dragons and tigers." Fakong smiled and said: "How dare I enter without the emperor's permission."

"The grandmother agreed," Chu Ling said puzzledly: "Father is very filial, and he has to listen to the grandmother's words."

Fakong shook his head.

Chu Ling frowned in dissatisfaction: "You are too timid, you are a divine monk, don't you have supernatural powers? I heard that there is a wish-fulfilling power among the six supernatural powers of Buddhism. You can leave whenever you want. You can leave when the time comes."

Fakong smiled: "Your Highness, I am not very good at Buddhism. I will disappoint the Queen Mother."

"Hehe, it seems that you want the Queen Mother to come, right?"

Fakong shook his head and smiled: "The Queen Mother and I are not predestined enough, so it is better not to meet."

"You are being mysterious!" Chu Ling snorted: "What do you mean by predestined? You are just afraid that your father will blame you!"

"This is predestined." Fakong smiled and said: "If the predestined law is enough, everything will come naturally without any obstacles. If the predestined law is not enough, there will be many obstacles."

"As expected of a monk, you can talk!" Chu Ling shook his head: "Forget it, if you don't want to go, then don't go. Don't regret missing such a good opportunity."

Fakong smiled and shook his head.

Chu Ling's mind raced, but he still didn't give up, saying: "Master, you have entered the palace and met the Empress Dowager. In the future, all temples in the world will recognize you as a great monk, and no one will say you are a liar."

"Justice is in the hearts of the people." Fakong smiled: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The fate is not enough, and the timing is not right. Let's wait a little longer."

"Wait a little longer?" Chu Ling's eyes flashed: "Do you mean, you will meet the Empress Dowager in the future?"

"I will meet her eventually." Fakong said: "When the time is right, I will meet her naturally."

"Timing..." Chu Ling seemed to be thinking about something.

Fakong looked at Gong Qunying: "Who is this gentleman...?"

"Oh, Gong Qunying, the Empress Dowager's chief steward, is a great master." Chu Ling said: "You can't beat him."

Gong Qunying smiled kindly: "Your Highness, I am ashamed to accept it."

Chu Ling waved his hand.

She looked at Fakong: "Is the holy water ready? I'm going back."

"Your Highness, it's rare for you to come here, why don't you have a drink?"

"...Okay." Chu Ling hesitated for a moment: "Apricot blossom wine!"

"Lin Feiyang."

"Yes." Lin Feiyang agreed from a distance, and a moment later, he appeared with a jar of apricot blossom wine.

He flashed and disappeared, and when he flashed again, he was holding a rosewood plate in his hand.

There were two dishes of appetizers, two pairs of chopsticks and two jade cups on the plate.

Lin Feiyang put them on the table one by one, and then disappeared again.

Chu Ling looked at the place where he disappeared in surprise: "Good body skills, is it also a magical power?"

Fakong looked at Gong Qunying.

Gong Qunying looked thoughtful.

Fakong smiled and said, "Has Gong seen such a body movement?"

"If my guess is correct, it should be the shadow escape technique, right?" Gong Qunying said slowly, "When I was young, I saw a master performing this light skill, which was indeed amazing."

Chu Ling asked, "Who is it?"

"The Shadow-like Divine Sword." Gong Qunying said, "This person is not well-known in the world, and only a few people know him, because those who know him are often dead."

"Is it so powerful?" Chu Ling asked, "How is he compared to Gong, Gong now?"

"...better than me." Gong Qunying pondered for a moment and said slowly, "His body movement is too fast, and his sword is as fast as his body movement, which has exceeded the speed of reaction. Once the sword is thrust out, it is impossible to avoid it, unless you guess in advance that he will use the sword and dodge in advance."

"Could he be invincible in the world?"

"He died of poisoning." Gong Qunying shook his head, "He offended a master of poison, who was not even a master, but he killed him."

"What a pity." Chu Ling shook his head.

Gong Qunying smiled and said, "Except for the emperor, who is so gifted, no matter how strong other people's martial arts are, there are ways to restrain them. All martial arts have flaws. There is no perfect martial arts. One thing can defeat another. This is the truth of heaven and earth."

"I'm grateful for your advice." Fakong smiled.

"One thing can defeat another." Chu Ling nodded.

"Your Highness, I've said too much." Gong Qunying took a step back.

Chu Ling said, "You said it very well. You are an old man. You are well-informed. Not bad."

Gong Qunying smiled and said nothing.

Fakong opened the seal and poured two glasses of wine. The two began to drink. After a while, they drank half of the jar.

"Abbot, Prince Xin is here."

"Oh?" Fakong raised his glass and stopped it in mid-air, looking at Chu Ling.

Chu Ling's face changed slightly, and he quickly put down the wine glass: "No, I have to go. Brother Jiu will be in trouble if he sees me!"

Fakong smiled and said: "Prince Xin also likes good wine, why not drink with me."

"Then I will be nagged to death by him." Chu Ling waved her jade hand, turned around and left: "Don't forget the holy water."

"Lin Feiyang."

"Yes."

Lin Feiyang appeared in a flash, holding a small wine jar in his hand.

Gong Qunying took a step forward and took it: "Thank you, Master."

Fakong smiled and shook his head: "General Manager Gong is too polite, I'm sorry that I can't see you off."

Gong Qunying smiled: "Master, you don't have to be polite."

Chu Ling strode out without stopping.

Gong Qunying swept the wine jar with one hand and held a white jade and silver whisk in the other. He used his arm to suck the white jade and silver whisk, and held the magic sky with one palm.

Fakong Heshi returned the courtesy and watched him follow Chu Ling's footsteps.

When Chu Ling came to the gate, she didn't see King Xin. She turned around and found that King Xin was standing in the distance with his hands behind his hands, staring at a scenery.

She was immediately overjoyed and tried to go around quietly, trying to get around King Xin silently, but King Xin turned around and looked at him.

Chu Xiang smiled and said: "Fifteenth sister, are you here too?"

"Oh, let's ask the master for a jar of divine water. Ninth Brother is here too. There must be something going on. I'll leave first."

She said and started to leave.

Chu Xiang glanced at Gong Qunying and smiled: "Old Gong is here too? Is the imperial grandmother worried about the fifteenth sister?"

"That's right." Chu Ling nodded hurriedly: "Brother Ninth, I have something to talk to Grandma Huang, so I'm leaving now."

She said that and turned around to leave.

Chu Xiang looked at her appearance, shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, Master, I won't see you for now. I just want to go see the Queen's grandmother and pay her respects. I heard that the old habit has happened again?"

Chu Lin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's right, Brother Ninth, you haven't gone over to say hello, have you?"

In this way, you can't see the wine glass inside, and you won't know that you are drinking.

"I've been busy dealing with the Kunshan Holy Cult recently, so I have no time to get away."

"No matter how busy I am, I still have to visit the imperial grandmother." Chu Ling complained: "There is no time when the affairs of the court are finished, one after another."

"The Kunshan Holy Sect's affairs are extremely urgent. If this continues, I'm afraid it will really cause panic."

"So Brother Ninth, has there been any progress?"

"Well, we have already captured a few of the people lurking in the Forbidden Palace." Chu Xiang nodded: "Let's leave quickly."

Chu Ling was just about to say his own murder, but was interrupted by Chu Xiang, so he had to speed up to keep up.

Gong Qunying fell behind, looking calm.

After Chu Xiang entered Zhuque Avenue, he quickly turned right and entered a small alley, and did not continue walking along Zhuque Avenue.

"Brother Ninth, why are you going this way?"

“There are few people and it’s quiet.”

"I still want to go shopping." Chu Ling said with a smile: "It's really lively and interesting here."

"Haha..." Chu Xiang said with a smile: "In terms of liveliness, it is indeed lively here, but don't you think it's too noisy?"

"I like the excitement the most." Chu Ling said, "I'm afraid of the loneliness."

In Lingyun Palace, no matter how many maids there are, it still feels too calm, unlike the bustle on Suzaku Avenue.

Chu Xiang nodded: "There is indeed a lack of fireworks in the palace...Fifteenth sister, come to my house as soon as you leave the palace. Your ninth sister-in-law likes you very much and asked her to take you to join in the fun."

"OK."

"Old Gong." Chu Xiang suddenly turned his head and smiled.

Gong Qunying smiled.

He had already thrown up the fly whisk, and the silver thread was about to touch Chu Xiang's neck.

This whisk was so silent that Chu Xiang didn't realize it. If Fakong hadn't spoken in his mind, he would have been tricked.

Gong Qunying's expression suddenly changed.

The silver threads of the whisk actually froze in the air, and his body also froze, maintaining the momentum of reaching forward.

The long sword on Chu Xiang's waist came out of its sheath with a "choking" sound like a dragon's roar.

The sword body trembled endlessly, as if a silver snake was swimming around, making a "buzzing" sound.

He didn't rush to draw his sword, recharging his strength and then recharging his strength.

As the power accumulates, the sword becomes brighter and brighter, like a bolt of lightning dancing around the sword.

Chu Ling was confused.

Before she could react, Chu Xiang stabbed with his sword.

At this time, the long sword had turned into a stream of autumn water, and the previously dazzling light had completely converged into the sword body.

"Ding!" In the clear sound, the tip of the sword could not penetrate Gong Qunying's chest.

Chu Lingming's eyes widened.

She never expected that Chu Xiang would suddenly attack Gong Qunying.

A smile appeared on Gong Qunying's lips.

He possesses the Black Turtle Immortality Kung and is invulnerable to swords!

Fakong's voice came to Chu Xiang's ears: "Three inches below the right rib!"

At this time, Fakong was standing by the stone table in his yard, forming seals with his hands, and both his left and right hands were forming the Immovable Mountain Seal to strengthen the power of the immobilization spell.

His eyes burst with golden light, looking at Gong Qunying from a distance.

In his eyes, Gong Qunying's skin and muscles disappeared, only his meridians and breath existed, like a crystal man.

The meridians are jade-colored, and the breath is like ink.

The immobilization spell immobilizes his breath and prevents it from moving, thus causing a break point in his breath, which is now his weakness.

"Buzz..."

Chu Xiang drew his sword and stabbed again.

"Brother Ninth..." Chu Ling said hurriedly.

Gong Qunying showed an expression of disbelief.

The tip of the sword was exposed from his back, and then Chu Xiang's face turned red. All the strength in his body was concentrated in his hands. He grabbed the hilt of the sword and raised it fiercely.

The long sword went up along Gong Qunying's ribs, across his throat and head, and came out from Baihui point.

Chu Xiang used too much force, and after leaving Gong Qunying with his long sword, he turned around in a circle.

The tip of the sword passed through the wall of bluestones next to it, passing by silently. The bluestones were as unobstructed as tofu.

Chu Xiang's sword is a unique sword. For this sword action, he specially chose the sharpest sword in his collection.

This sword cuts iron like clay.

But even so, he still couldn't break Gong Qunying's protective aura, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

A thin red line appeared between Gong Qunying's eyebrows, quickly spread to his nose and mouth, and then slowly tilted sideways, his eyes quickly dimmed, and he stared at Chu Xiang in disbelief.

"Bang" he fell to the ground motionless.

Chu Ling looked at Chu Xiang curiously, then at Gong Qunying who was already lying motionless on the ground, and frowned and said: "Nineth Brother, this is the chief steward of the Empress Dowager!"

"Of course I know." Chu Xiang shook his head: "If I hadn't done it, he would have killed both of us!"

Chu Ling frowned.

Of course she also saw Gong Qunying take out the whisk first, and was very confused as to why he did that. Could he be a traitor of Kunshan Holy Church? Impossible.

And no matter what, Gong Qunying is the chief steward of Yonghe Palace.
