Chapter 447 The Taoist priest of Lingxu Palace
Taoist Mingfan asked Hai Yingying and Ji Huanyu to sit at the bow of the boat. He stood at the stern and lifted everything in the cabin, and finally unloaded the boards below. The boat suddenly sank and then floated up again.
The entire ship had only the frame above, but it did not sink!
"What's going on?" Ji Huanyu asked excitedly, grabbing the boat's edge.
"After removing the burden, the wooden board can naturally float up. The weight of the three of us is not enough to make it sink." Taoist Mingfan said while rowing with a paddle.
"Even if the ship sinks, I can swim back to the shore, but the land duck beside me drags people down!" Hai Yingying remembered the shipwreck incident when she followed Ji Huanyu to investigate the disaster.
"If you want to save him, the child in your stomach will not be saved! If that is the case, what choice will you make?" Mingfan looked at Hai Yingying who was thinking.
"If the ship really sank just now, would I think so much? I will definitely not let him have something to do!" Hai Yingying looked at Ji Huanyu, whose face was getting paler.
"So poisonous!" Ji Huanyu suddenly vomited blood. Although he knew that his father was cold-hearted and cruel, he did not expect that he would not be ruthless to his children.
"Huanyu!" Hai Yingying held Ji Huanyu and shouted. Ji Huanyu's forehead was covered with sweat, his lips were red, and his whole body was cold.
"Look at it or not?" Taoist Mingfan knew that Ji Huanyu was caused by his sudden attack.
"The abrupt big stone in front!" Hai Yingying pointed to the smooth big stone she often sat there in the distance.
"When we get there, listen to my command to jump onto the big stone!" Taoist Mingfan looked at Ji Huanyu and said.
"Okay!" Ji Huanyu took the silk handkerchief from Hai Yingying's hand and wiped his mouth and helped her stand up.
"Get ready! Leap!" After Daoist Mingfan said that, he jumped onto the stone platform. Ji Huanyu and Hai Yingying hugged each other's waist and flew onto the stone platform.
Taoist Mingfan looked at them and smiled. Ji Huanyu took Taoist Mingfan's hand and said, "Let's go!"
Gongzi Qingqian was sitting by the table next to the window in the house drinking tea. Ji Huanyu pulled Hai Yingying with one hand and Taoist Mingfan with the other hand and walked into Gongzi Qingqian's courtyard.
Young Master Qingqian slowly stood up and walked towards the door of the house. Ji Huanyu saw Young Master Qingqian who had just left the house and hurriedly said, "I have met my father!"
"This is..." Young Master Qingqian looked at Taoist Mingfan and asked in confusion.
"Dad! Thanks to Taoist Mingfan along the way! Otherwise, the child in his daughter's womb would have been gone long ago!" Hai Yingying ran to Gongzi Qingqian and complained aggrievedly.
"It's fine." Young Master Qingqian said, holding his daughter's hand.
"Yingying!" Rouxin walked out of the kitchen and called out. Hai Yingying ran towards her mother.
"Mingfan is lucky to see the young master in three lives!" Taoist Mingfan examined the young master Qingqian before saying politely.
"Thank you for your care along the way! Please sit down!" Young Master Qingqian and Taoist Mingfan sat at the stone table in the yard.
Xiangzi brought the tea to serve. Taoist Mingfan was indeed thirsty. He drank a cup of tea in one breath.
Ji Huanyu quickly added tea to him. Taoist Mingfan looked at the young master Qingqian and said, "Your son-in-law is good! But his father is a little vicious and cannot tolerate the children in your daughter's belly!"
"He has always hated me to the core, so this is not surprising!" Young Master Qingqian's words were not at all surprised.
"There are others in your yard?" Taoist Mingfan's skills were indeed extraordinary. Ai Zishen was able to realize the Tao when he stood on the tree outside the yard.
"Maybe it's a wild cat!" Young Master Qingqian looked up at the tree. Ai Zishen left for fear that Xingzang would be revealed.
"Who do you think is a wild cat?" Xuanfei jumped down from the roof and said. He held the jar of wine in his hand and placed it on the stone table with a "bang".
"This must be a descendant of the Bai family!" Taoist Mingfan squinted his eyes and looked at Xuan Fei.
"Do you know me?" Xuan Fei looked at Mingfan and felt his eyes arise.
"The medicine on you are all the taste of the Bai family!" Mingfan traveled around and also studied herbs.
"No wonder you saved my child at the noodle shop that day!" Ji Huanyu finally understood why Taoist Mingfan knew that Yingying's noodles were drugged that day.
"It seems that the Taoist priest is also a person who understands pharmacology! Not bad! I am Bai Xuanfei, the eighth generation successor of Bai's family!" Xuanfei took another big sip of wine.
"This wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, so it's better to drink less!" Taoist Mingfan advised him when he saw Xuan Fei as a person with a temperament.
"I know this! But I just can't control myself!" Xuan Fei felt that Taoist Mingfan was very kind and had a kind heart, so he felt respectful and did not contradict him.
Taoist Mingfan left the next day, Ji Huanyu gave him money to thank him, but he didn't ask for it either.
At this point, Hai Yingying raised her baby with her parents. Ji Huanyu returned to office after the age of 1998 and continued to be his county magistrate to benefit the people.
When Prince Jinlan heard that a Taoist priest appeared for no reason and failed his plan, he asked someone to investigate him.
Tuan put the found information on several cases of Gongzi Jinlan.
Only then did Gongzi Jinlan realize that this Taoist priest was a Taoist Mingfan from Taixu Palace.
"Young Master! Are you chasing me?" Tuan asked Jian when he saw Young Master Jinlan close his letter.
"No need!" Gongzi Jinlan knew the current situation in the world. Three thousand disciples under Taixu Palace were also very powerful in the world. Last time the whole country destroyed the Taoist alchemy furnace, no one dared to mess with this Taixu Palace.
Prince Jinlan did not order to chase and kill Taoist Mingfan, but he wrote a memorial saying that the elixirs in Taixu Palace have the effect of prolonging life.
After hearing this, Sima Hao asked why Taixu Palace was still refining elixirs. Prince Jinlan told the power of Taixu Palace.
Sima Hao issued an order to ask the Taoist priest Ling Xu, the head palace master of Taixu Palace, to come to Beijing for questions.
Eunuch Zhao took the imperial edict and took a carriage to Taixu Palace in Fuzhou to announce the edict.
Ten days later, Zhenren Ling Xu followed Eunuch Zhao to the court.
Sima Hao asked him why he resisted the order and refining alchemy. Zhenren Ling Xu replied: "The method of refining alchemy was taught by the Taoist ancestor Laojun. It has become a habit for Taoist priests to take pills. Whether others take it has nothing to do with me!"
His implication is that if you don’t want to eat, no one will force you to eat. If you eat badly, it’s not our business! It’s what your royal family insists on eating, who can you blame?
"Bold!" Yao Xiang shouted as he heard the implication of his words.
Sima Hao also understood. He thought about it carefully and felt that what Ling Xu said was quite reasonable.
"Then keep your elixirs and eat them yourself! Don't flow to the people!" Sima Hao thought for a long time and said.
"Emperor! Lingxu Palace has committed the crime of resisting the order!" Liang Xiang stood up and said.
"I think his words are right! Let him go back!" Sima Hao's words made Zhenren Ling Xu look up at him.
It is said that Sima Hao is incompetent, but today it seems that he is not a fool! Zhenren Ling Xu gave him a bow and then turned around and left.
Young Master Jinlan had a dark face and said nothing. This true man Ling Xu was not a good person! He only said a few words, which forced the emperor to let him go.
