08. Neither human nor ghost nor demon
Capital City, National Master's Mansion.
The Taiyin Zhenren had just finished today's practice when he heard the servant report that the emperor had invited him.
He nodded slightly, changed into a gorgeous Taoist robe, rode in a huge sedan chair, and waved all the way toward the palace under the lifting of dozens of paper sedan chairmen.
Wherever he did, the people separated their paths and avoided them.
Soon, the palace had arrived.
After getting off the carriage, the Taiyin Zhenren floated three feet above the ground and flew forward against the ground. The big inner guards along the way saw Taiyin Zhenren, and they all remained calm and turned a blind eye to Taiyin Zhenren's behavior.
This national guru was not only unfathomable, but even the emperor was in awe of him. These guards were just making a living, so of course they would not provoke the national guru.
The Taiyin Zhenren entered the emperor's palace unimpededly.
A eunuch saw Taiyin real man and hurried forward to greet him.
Only then did Taiyin Zhenren land on the ground, spotless.
The eunuch said: "National Master, the emperor has been waiting for a long time, so please come with me."
Taiyin Zhenren nodded expressionlessly. With his identity, he naturally didn't need to be polite to a eunuch, even if this eunuch was a celebrity around the emperor.
Even Taiyin real person doesn’t care.
Fortunately, this eunuch also knows himself and knows that although he is deeply trusted by the emperor, he is still far inferior to the national teacher in front of him, so he dare not make a spell in front of the other party.
Instead, he is very respectful.
The two entered the Hall of Yangxin one after another, and the eunuch reported to the emperor that the national guru had arrived, and the emperor quickly ordered someone to give him a seat when he heard this.
The Taiyin Zhenren said slightly: "I am grateful to your Majesty."
Then he sat down without hesitation. He is now in power and does not need to look for snakes to practice in the sky. It is all because of the favor of the emperor in front of him.
Although he could easily kill the emperor, he would not do so. After all, killing the emperor would not have any benefits for him, but would have great disadvantages.
So in many cases, Taiyin Zhenren was very polite to the emperor, and he kept his duties as a minister and never surpassed him.
When the emperor saw the Taiyin Zhenren sitting down, he couldn't wait to ask: "National Master, do you know what I'm calling you today?"
The Taiyin Zhenren said, "I listen carefully."
The emperor said: "You can tell that the national master has suddenly emerged in the past few days."
"I have heard of it a little." Taiyin Zhenren nodded. This was the most popular news in the world. As the national teacher, he naturally knew about this matter at the first time.
As expected, the emperor looked for himself today for this news.
The emperor continued, "I have inquired about this army, which is very terrible, invincible, and it is amazing when it passes through it all the way."
"What's even more terrifying is that this army can be free from food or drink, and is even more tireless and invulnerable. But they march day and night, regardless of wind and rain, as if they are not human at all."
Taiyin Zhenren nodded and said, "Your Majesty, as long as it is a human, you will be hungry, thirsty, and you will feel tired. This army is neither hungry nor thirsty, and tireless, and obviously not a human."
This sentence suddenly came to the emperor's heart, and he asked, "Can the national teacher know that if these soldiers were not humans, what exactly were they?"
Taiyin Zhenren said: "Weichen just heard about this incident and did not see this army with his own eyes, so we are not very clear about what this army is."
The emperor thought about it, but he still asked: "The national teacher has great powers, have you ever heard of such an army?"
Taiyin Zhenren thought about it and said slowly: "Weichen once heard that the army in the underworld does not need food and drink, because they are not humans, but Yin soldiers."
The emperor was shocked and said, "Doesn't this mean that the terrible army is actually a ghost soldier!"
Taiyin Zhenren shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, all things in the world are in order. The army in the underworld can only move in the underworld and cannot pass through the underworld and reach the underworld. What's more..."
"What's more?" the emperor couldn't help asking.
Taiyin Zhenren said: "What's more, if you want to reach the world from the underworld, you must pass through the gate of ghosts. Not everyone can pass through this gate of ghosts. No matter in heaven or underground, millions of ghost soldiers will not be allowed to enter the world."
"So, I can be sure that that mysterious army is definitely not a ghost soldier."
When the emperor heard this, he was not relieved. Then he asked suspiciously: "Since it is not a ghost soldier, is it possible that it is a monster!"
The Taiyin Zhenren couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty can rest assured of this."
"Why?"
"Whether the world, people are the spirits of all things, and are favored by heaven and earth. If other races want to become monsters, they are all against the will of heaven. It is not that easy."
Taiyin Zhenren said confidently: "Although there are many monsters in this world, there are absolutely no millions. If this is true, the demonic energy will definitely shake the sky and the earth. Even if Wei Chen is in the capital, he can still see the demonic energy rising into the sky. But now, the air is clear and there is no demonic energy at all, so that army is definitely not a monster."
The emperor couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "It's neither a monster, nor a ghost soldier, nor a human. So what is this million army?"
Taiyin Zhenren was also a little puzzled, "Weichen also found this a bit incredible."
Neither humans nor ghosts nor demons, nor demons, nor demons that soar into the sky, so they are not demons, nor corpses that cover the clouds and the sun, nor zombies. So what exactly is this army?
The Taiyin Zhenren couldn't figure it out.
At this moment, the emperor couldn't help asking: "National Master, I have a request, please don't refuse."
The Taiyin Zhenren immediately understood the emperor's thoughts, but did not point it out, but nodded slowly and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"I hope the national commander can help me find out what this army is." The emperor said softly.
Taiyin Zhenren did not refuse. He nodded and said, "It just so happens that Weichen also wants to see this mysterious army."
The emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Then I'll trouble the national teacher."
The Taiyin Zhenren smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you are polite. As the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, I naturally have to contribute to the Tang Dynasty."
The emperor couldn't help laughing, feeling a little relieved, and said, "By the way, the national master, I feel a little uncomfortable in the past few days. I don't know if the national master has a magic pill."
The Taiyin Zhenren was like a stream of good deeds, took out a bottle of pill from his arms and placed it in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this is the bone-strengthening pill that I have chosen from the precious medicinal materials at that time. It can strengthen my muscles and bones and body. One pill a day. Please remember it."
"Don't worry, the national teacher, I've recorded it."
