Chapter 135: Return to Heaven
Pedestrians come and go in Yinghuafang in a hurry.
Although this place was assigned to Si Tianjian, the streets in Fangzhong are still open to traffic, and pedestrians passing by will stop to pay their respects.
A carriage drove across the stone road and stopped here.
"Miss! We are here!"
The maid next to the carriage lifted the curtain, and a beauty in a skirt stepped out of the carriage. She looked up at the canopy of the peach tree that blocked out the sky and the sun. Standing under the tree, she felt even more shocked.
The maid asked: "I heard that Tao Shenjun had a miraculous effect. The wife of Zhao Shilang's family came to ask for a child the day before yesterday, and the doctor found out that she had a happy pulse the next day. They said it was the Peach God who sent her son."
Even the old rickshaw driver who was on his way said with a smile on his face: "I also came to pay my respects yesterday. Guess what on the way back? I picked up three big coins. Sure enough, worshiping God will help you get luck."
The lady asked: "Okay! Is it really as effective as you say?"
The two could not refute: "It's really effective."
The woman in the undershirt covered her mouth and smiled, and asked several servants to bring out the tributes and incense sticks, and began to pay homage.
The divine branches are so luxuriant that no one can see the layers of branches and leaves in the canopy a hundred meters above the ground.
There is a drunken immortal lying down and drinking wine and a donkey having fun alone.
Donkey shouted excitedly, Kong Chenzi's hand holding the wine bottle dropped, and he just turned his head to take a look.
He is indeed an acquaintance.
It was the time when Kong Chenzi came down the mountain in the heavy snow and cold winter and entered Gongzhou City.
The woman who was rescued from Mr. Yinhua seemed to be named Li Rong'er after thinking about it.
The daughter of Duke Wei was the younger sister of Concubine Li Shu.
At that time, I had a quick look at the flowers blooming under the moon, but I didn’t expect to see them again here.
However, compared to the panicked donkey who was so full and had nothing to do, Daojun Kongchen just glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze without saying a word.
He raised the wine pot again and drank it all in one gulp.
General Donkey's eyes were fixed, and he suddenly felt that women were so terrifying that even the Immortal did not dare to provoke her.
General Donkey sighed: "Sure enough, the woman at the foot of the mountain is a tiger."
"It's all terrible!"
"It's terrible."
The donkey had a long face, long eyes, and a look that saw through love and hatred, as if he had an epiphany. He thought of the Xuanzhu Huode Zhenjun Li Qingchen, wasn't it the old Taoist priest who provoked him?
These women are indeed very cruel and cannot be messed with.
"Ouch!"
General Donkey's curse seemed to have been heard by Kong Chenzi, and he was hit on the head immediately, and a big lump immediately appeared on his chest.
The eyes that had just been enlightened suddenly turned into tears.
Kong Chenzi also sat up at this time and stretched.
Under the sacred tree, the woman kneeling in front of Tao Shenjun's stone tablet finally finished praying, inserted the incense stick in her hand on the incense burner, and then threw out a stone with words engraved on it, and landed on the knot of the Peach Divine Tree in the distance.
on the roots of the tree.
There are also various stones and stones with inscriptions scattered around, all of which have been dropped by good men and women in the city in the past few days.
Kong Chenzi took back his stretched hand and spread out his fingers, which happened to be a small stone.
The four characters "Kongchen Taojun" are engraved on the stone.
After reading this, the Taoist chuckled with unknown meaning: "Some of what the old man said is quite good."
"Some causes and effects cannot be reconciled, and this is why all the troubles in the world arise."
"A thought causes a disaster! A thought causes a catastrophe!"
The old Taoist priest just had a momentary thought, and the disaster he personally caused lasted for hundreds of years during the Great Zhou Dynasty, and finally ended at the hands of Kong Chenzi.
After the Taoist finished speaking, he folded his fingers.
Crush the stone into pieces.
The stone powder turned into sand, flowing out from between the fingers and scattered to the end of the world.
Under the sacred tree, the beauty in the undershirt stood up and was about to leave. The maid beside her was packing her things and preparing to go back.
Suddenly the sky became stormy.
Layers of clouds fell from the sky and lingered above the tree crowns.
Many people on the street raised their heads, and all the figures riding horses and carts passing by stopped.
"What's going on in the sky?" People with sharp eyes immediately saw what was happening in the sky.
"This cloud is a bit strange!" The clouds condensed down, as if forming a celestial road, welcoming whoever ascends to the sky.
"The spirit has appeared! This is the appearance of the gods." Various people in the city also saw this scene.
In the cloud light, a figure followed the sky clouds.
The mighty sound came down from infinite heights.
"Master Tao Shen! I'm leaving."
"Don't forget your great wish to eliminate all demons in the world, wipe out all demons in the world, and rule the world forever."
At this time, the golden light flashed on the peach tree, and a huge figure floated from the sacred tree and saluted the immortal.
"Tao Shenjun takes over Lord Dao's decree!"
In the end, Daojun Kongchen chose to leave without taking Tao Shenjun with him, but left him behind.
Tao Shenjun is also the first protector god that he does not take with him, because his magical power is to suppress demons and protect an area, so staying in this capital is the most important thing.
The rays of light spread thousands of miles away, and the immortal walked away on the clouds.
I have traveled thousands of miles and don’t know when I will return.
Some people in the entire capital cheered to see him off, while others kowtowed to the Prime Minister.
On that day, more people came to worship God Tao and Lord Kongchen under the tree.
Even in the next few days, people kept rushing in from outside the city. The first thing they did when entering the city was to worship Lord Tao.
——————
Inside the palace, there was misery and crying everywhere.
Outside the emperor's palace, a large number of people were kneeling, many of them flustered and trembling.
The old emperor was on his deathbed and fell into coma several times. The doctors at the Imperial Hospital shook their heads one by one.
Everyone has seen that the emperor is on his last legs.
At the same time that the immortal left the capital, the emperor also woke up from his coma.
The first thing I did when I woke up was not thinking about the succession, nor was I giving any instructions or wanting to see the prince.
Instead, he called out Tao Xian's name.
"I promised Tao Aiqing that I would go see him after returning to Beijing."
"It's a pity that I can't keep the appointment despite being so close."
The old emperor's turbid eyes looked at the ministers kneeling in front of the bed, and then glanced at the concubines and eunuchs beside him.
"Do you think Tao Aiqing will come to greet me?"
Li Xiang immediately replied: "Tao Aiqing respected Your Majesty the most during his lifetime, and he will definitely come."
The old emperor never forgot his promise to offer Tao Shenjun a stick of incense. When he heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
At this time, there were loud cheers and shouts in the capital, and there were also voices coming from outside the clouds.
"What happened outside the city?" the old emperor asked immediately.
One of the eunuchs immediately ran out and came back: "Your Majesty! Taoist Lord Kongchen left behind the clouds, and Lord Tao Shen also showed up to see him off."
In an instant, the old emperor suddenly became very excited.
His body lying on the bed suddenly became extremely hard, and his back bowed.
"real?"
"real?"
His eyes widened instantly, as if he had seen some incredible scene.
"Ah! I saw the immortal coming to pick me up. The immortal came to pick me up."
"Immortal! I am here, I am here."
"Tao Aiqing! Are you here too?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
While shouting, the old emperor completely closed his eyes.
The old and withered hand also fell, hanging on the dragon couch.
Tremendous cries spread from the palace to the outside, and thousands of palace residents, eunuchs, and guards fell to their knees together.
The bells in the imperial city rang.
As soon as the people in the entire capital heard the sound of the bell, they immediately raised their heads and looked in the direction of the imperial city.
Most people in the capital know what this means.
The emperor died.
Just as the immortal soared into the clouds and left, the emperor died and passed away.
