Chapter 28 Role Playing(1/2)
"The Holy One has decreed that Zhang Guo, Lan Cai and master and disciple should come to see you!"
Accompanied by repeated calls, the fairy-like Zhang Guo led Lan Caihe, who was fluttering with fairy spirit, across the platform and arrived at the magnificent hall.
"Kunlun Mountain Qi Refiner Zhang Guo, together with his disciple Lan Caihe, pay homage to His Majesty." Before the emperor could speak, Zhang Guo flicked his fly whisk and bowed.
"Taoist priest, there is no need to be too polite." The emperor sat high on the dragon chair and raised his hand and said.
Zhang Guo immediately stood up straight and displayed his arrogance as a master.
After years of cheating, he has figured out a lot of rules and knows that this is what the rich and powerful do.
The more submissive and polite you are in front of the other person, the more the other person will look down on you.
This is human nature, and he believes that even the emperor is not immune to it.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I wonder what your Majesty has thought about it?"
"Think it over carefully." The emperor nodded slightly and said, "As long as you, Daoist Zhang, can pass the test of Daoist Han, I will agree to all your needs."
"Taoist Master Han?" Zhang Guo looked stunned.
Where did Taoist Master Han appear from?
"Liu Bao, Taoist Priest Xuanhan, please come to see him." The emperor looked sideways at the chamberlain and said calmly.
"Xuan Han Xiangzi, Taoist Han, comes to see you." The eunuch shouted loudly.
"Xuan Han Xiangzi Han Taoist Minister to visit."
Several chamberlains relayed the message one after another, and the sound spread forward like waves.
Soon after, under the nervous gazes of Zhang Guo and Lan Caihe, Qin Yao, dressed in a white-gold robe, came slowly, raised his hands toward the imperial table and said, "Greetings to your Majesty."
"No need to be polite, Taoist Master Han." The emperor raised his hand and said, "Please begin your test."
Qin Yao nodded, turned around and faced Master and Disciple Zhang Guo, and asked in a solemn voice: "You said you are a Qi Master of Kunlun Mountain. I don't know which mountain you worshiped, what sect you entered, and who are the elders of the sect?"
Zhang Guo's expression changed slightly, and he said: "Firstly, I have no way of worshiping the mountain to get started, and secondly, I have no elders from the sect. I can only become an immortal by studying the true scriptures in the barren mountain spiritual mansion, and the sacred beast Zhu Guo helps me practice."
"Sutra... practice." Qin Yao chuckled and asked, "I wonder what level you have reached in practice?"
"If you get the help of the golden body, you can become an immortal." Zhang Guo said relatively implicitly.
If he hadn't been unable to figure out the details of this Taoist priest and didn't dare to talk nonsense, he could even tell Guanyin Master out.
In fact, in the original work, when he deceived the people to look for the so-called golden body, he used Guanyin to talk about it, and he didn't care about Guanyin Bodhisattva, a powerful Buddhist, why he could care about him, a "true Taoist immortal".
"Your Majesty, please order someone to bring the gold up." Qin Yao turned to the emperor and said.
The emperor nodded and ordered: "Bring one thousand taels of gold."
In the blink of an eye, four eunuchs brought in two wooden boxes. After opening the lids of the boxes, a dazzling golden light suddenly dazzled the eyes of Master and Disciple Zhang Guo.
"How big of a golden body do you want?" Qin Yao asked Zhang Guo.
Zhang Guo made a rough gesture: "It's as big as this."
Qin Yao asked again: "Do you have any requirements for the golden body?"
Zhang Guo couldn't guess why he asked this, but because he couldn't figure out the details of the other party, he didn't dare to say anything for the time being: "There is no request."
"good."
Qin Yao reached into the box and grabbed four gold bricks. After a little rubbing, he rolled the gold bricks into balls like dough.
Zhang Guo and Lan Caihe's eyes widened at the same time, and they were completely stunned on the spot.
no.
What did they see?
Knead the gold into a shape like clay with one hand...
Is this gold real gold?
Qin Yao's technique was very fast. In a blink of an eye, he pinched out a half-tall golden man, banged it in front of Zhang Guo, and asked: "I pinched it exactly like you. How do you think it turned out?"
Looking at the lifelike golden statue in front of him, Zhang Guo felt numb all over.
What kind of monster is this guy named Han?
"Why didn't Zhang Daozhang say anything?" After waiting for a long time, the emperor asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Guo pretended to be calm, raised his head and said: "He is naturally very good at pinching, but the golden statue needs to be consecrated. Only after it is consecrated can it become a help to poor Taoists."
"How to consecrate it?" the emperor asked.
Zhang Guo: "It requires the poor Taoist to baptize it three thousand times with his own magic power, which will probably take seven to seventy-nine days."
emperor:"……"
This guy is really good at dragging!
Qin Yao would not give Zhang Guo a chance to delay for forty-nine days. His main strategy was to use speed to control slowness. Before many parties could react, he would finish the matter and make it a fact.
If we really have to wait forty-nine days, we don’t know what kind of mishaps will happen.
"In other words, you have magic power now, right?"
"Yes, but not many." Zhang Guo said cautiously.
Qin Yao smiled and said: "I heard from the Holy Master that your magic power can only be used to kill monsters?"
"Exactly." Zhang Guo nodded repeatedly: "There is nothing here..."
"Yes." Qin Yao suddenly interrupted.
Zhang Guo: "???"
"Show up, Xiang Liu." Qin Yao said calmly.
A black smoke ball as dark as ink suddenly flew in from the outside and manifested into a nine-headed monster snake several feet long.
"Hoo."
Seeing the strange snake looking at him, Zhang Guo fainted in a state of extreme fright.
Lan Caihe saw his master fainting, so he simply rolled his eyes and collapsed on the ground.
"Take it." Qin Yao raised his palm.
Xiang Liu suddenly turned into a ray of black light, which went straight into his palm and turned into a three-pointed, two-edged sword that was inch by inch.
"Your Majesty, the test results are out."
In a flash, he put the magic weapon into his ear, Qin Yao cupped his hand and said.
The emperor, who was frightened by Xiang Liu and turned pale, took a deep breath and asked, "Dao Zhang Han, who was that strange snake just now..."
"It's just a weapon of a poor man." Qin Yao put down his arms and said with a smile.
"It's breathtaking. Taoist Master Han makes me breathtaking."
The emperor stood up and said solemnly: "I want to worship the Taoist Master as the national advisor on behalf of all the people in the world and suppress the evil spirits in the imperial city. I also ask the Taoist Master for his permission."
Qin Yao said in a deep voice: "I will try my best to find out the monsters that are wreaking havoc in the imperial city, but the title of Imperial Preceptor is forgetful. I do not rely on the luck of the country to practice, so this false reputation is of no use to me."
emperor:"……"
This Taoist Master Han is really candid.
Because it's of no use to me, I don't want it.
Don't even bother to cover it up!
"The Taoist Master is not interested in fame and wealth, but is straightforward and open-minded. I admire him endlessly." After regaining his senses, the emperor said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
"Your Majesty is overly complimentary." Qin Yao chuckled and then said: "I have an unkind request, please accept it."
"Taoist Master, it's okay to say so." The emperor raised his hand and said.
Qin Yao pointed to the two masters and apprentices who were fainting on the ground and said: "I want to ask your Majesty for a favor and give these two to me."
The emperor asked curiously: "I really don't understand, what does the Taoist want these two liars to do?"
Qin Yao said calmly: "These two people have something to do with something, so I have to take them away."
The emperor waited for a moment, but when he saw that he had no intention of telling what the incident was, he said: "They are just two liars. The Taoist can just take them away. I only hope that the Taoist will keep the matter of exterminating the demon in his mind." Let the imperial city have peace as soon as possible."
"I have to do my best." Qin Yao waved his sleeve, and the cuff of his right hand suddenly became several times larger, and he put Zhang Guo and Lan Caihe into his sleeve.
"Could this be the legendary Universe in the Sleeve?" The emperor's eyes were full of brilliance.
Qin Yao shook his head slightly: "No... I just used magic to shrink these two people and put them into the cuffs. Once the real universe in the sleeves is used, it can evolve the universe and form a real world. Even if there is a havoc in the heaven, Even with your own abilities, you can’t even think of escaping from the confinement of time and space.”
The emperor was yearning for it, stood up suddenly, and asked expectantly: "Taoist Master, do you think I can cultivate immortality?"
"You can't." Qin Yao said decisively, leaving him no hope at all.
emperor:"……"
"Is it because of the throne?" After a moment, he asked solemnly.
"There are reasons for this, but more importantly, it's because you don't have an immortal destiny." Qin Yao said frankly.
