People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 173 The Emperor Tang was plagued by nightmares, wasted and haunted by ghosts, and Xiangzi entered the palace. [Two in one, please subscribe]

"Reverend Luofu, the impoverished Taoist leader is over."

Seeing Naye Fashan, Han Xiangzi saluted.

Not long after, he went to the courtyard, sat in front of the stone table, and asked Master Luofu:
"A real person is here, what can I learn from you?"

The so-called not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, the sudden visit of Daoist Luo Fu today must be to come here for something.

"I'm here because His Majesty entrusted me, and he wants to see you."

Master Luo Fu laughed.

"Your Majesty wants to see me?"

A look of astonishment flashed across Han Xiangzi's face.

But soon, his expression was normal.

Regarding Tang Huang's desire to see him, Han Xiangzi had expected everything.

Right now, the people of Chang'an are almost flattering him to the sky.

All kinds of rumors, anecdotes and anecdotes will spread to the palace sooner or later.

Once the emperor knows, calling is inevitable.

"Realist Dong Xiao has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the case of the Qi clan, just take the matter of praying for rain in Chang'an last time, and I heard from others that the businessman named Wang Fu was directly awarded the title of nobleman because of his meritorious service in recommending him. , can be said to be a step up to the sky."

Master Luo Fu saw that Han Xiangzi was silent, so he said something more.

"It's just a coincidence."

Han Xiangzi smiled, but didn't take this matter to heart.

Then he said:

"I also ask Master Luo Fu to go back and tell His Majesty that the poor man will visit the palace in the future."

"It's okay, Pindao will inform His Majesty tomorrow."

Master Luofu nodded, changed his tone, sighed and said:
"Also, Pindao will leave Chang'an in a few days."

"Where is the real person going?"

Han Xiangzi asked with a slightly startled face.

"On a whim, and I don't know where it is going, I entrust your senior brother to take care of my Chunhe Xianfu."

Master Luofu smiled casually.

After saying that, he got up and walked out of the yard.

Watching him leave, Han Xiangzi couldn't help thinking to himself:

"Could it be that the time for Daoist Luofu to become a fairy is coming?"

Thinking of this, Han Xiangzi suddenly thought of the catastrophe of scattered teaching that his master had mentioned to him in Taihe Mountain.

What kind of catastrophe is this?
Besides yourself, who else wants to be robbed?

Han Xiangzi kept thinking.

But he couldn't think through, so he didn't think about it anymore.

It is worth mentioning that.

In the past few days, in his fascination, the nine-color lotus was ready to move, overflowing with green glow from time to time, as if new lotus seeds were about to be bred.

This sign made Han Xiangzi quite confused.

Logically speaking, since he broke through to be a real person, he hasn't absorbed the power of will. How could there be such a change?

……

……

Night falls.

The palace, the imperial study.

The Tang emperor was crouching in front of the dragon case, reviewing the memorial, and yawned from time to time, feeling a little tired.

Seeing this, the personal eunuch stretched out his head to look outside the room, and then said:

"Your Majesty, it's the second watch, and it's time to go to rest."

"Let me read the brochure in my hand first, then you go to the sleeping hall and light up the nourishing pills given by Master Luofu."

Tang Huang said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The superintendent responded and walked out of the imperial study.

I rushed all the way to the bedroom, took out a Yangxin Pill, lit it with a long candle, and put it in the golden beast not far away.

Not long after, light smoke curled up from the golden beast.

After Emperor Tang came out of the imperial study, after taking a bath and changing clothes for half an hour, he came to the palace wearing a golden silk inner robe.

Perhaps it was the nourishing pills given by Master Luofu, which were quite effective.

Lying on the dragon bed, Tang Huang felt a strong drowsiness shortly after he closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

……

It's just, it's midnight.

When Emperor Tang was soundly asleep, he was suddenly awakened by a rustling sound.

He wanted to open his eyes to see if something came to the bedroom to disturb his peace.

However, Tang Huang's eyelids seemed to be tightly held down, and it was difficult to open them even with all his strength.

When I wanted to get up, I felt weakness in my limbs, tightness in my chest, and difficulty breathing, as if something heavy was pressing on my body.

The next moment, there was a snap and a crackling sound.

boom!
Suddenly, there was another sound, probably the golden beast was kicked to the ground.

Whispering, biting, kicking, knocking on bricks... were intertwined and chaotic, and came to my ears together, which made Tang Huang sweat profusely and screamed incessantly.

"Come on!"

"What about people!"

"Come and save me!"

"..."

boom!
Outside the bedroom, the patrolling guards heard Emperor Tang's call for help, and immediately broke open the gate and rushed in. They saw utensils, golden beasts, incense burners, etc. scattered all over the room, and even the curtain on Emperor Tang's bed seemed to be torn apart. .

The leader of the imperial guards immediately looked around like a vulture, and found that there was no one in the house, and even the doors and windows were intact.

He couldn't help but his heart trembled.

Is this weird?

No one came in the bedroom, what's going on in this mess?

When he looked at Emperor Tang on the dragon bed, he had a horrified expression on his face, struggling with his hands and feet.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Seeing this situation, the commander of the forbidden army felt his scalp go numb, and hurried forward, calling out in a low voice.

"call!"

The pressure on his body was finally gone, and Tang Huang sat up straight all of a sudden, panting heavily.

His complexion was pale, cold sweat dripped from his forehead onto the bed, turned into sweat stains, and soaked the bedding.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing that Emperor Tang had woken up, the commander of the forbidden army hurriedly led his people to kneel down and asked.

"The widow was haunted by little ghosts, had a nightmare, and almost couldn't wake up."

Tang Huang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and spoke with lingering fear.

"Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold. He has the protection of immortals and Buddhas. How can there be evil people close to him?"

Hearing this, the commander of the forbidden army frowned.

"If there were no ghosts, there would be chaos in this room, wouldn't you be able to do it?"

After the words fell, Emperor Tang glared at him and said angrily.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

"It's the last general who made a slip of the tongue and is willing to stay in the bedroom all night to protect His Majesty's peace."

Seeing this, the commander of the forbidden army was so frightened that his body went limp, and he hurriedly kowtowed.

In this regard, Tang Huang's expression softened a little.

Soon, the eunuch who heard the sound also ran over in a hurry, he fell down on the ground and said:
"Your Majesty, the old slave is late, and I hope that your majesty will come down!"

"Let me ask you, have you ordered the nourishing pills given by Master Luofu today?"

Tang Huang looked at him and asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the old slave ordered it, and placed it in this golden beast."

"This...how could it be like this?"

The eunuch replied, looking for the golden beast everywhere, only to find that the golden beast had fallen to the ground at some point, and the Yangxin Pill, which was already burning, had also extinguished its smoke.

His face suddenly changed, looking at this scene in disbelief.

"Pass down my will, let it go tomorrow morning, and wait for me to wake up to talk about everything."

After all, the emperor of Tang was a wise emperor, he knew everything about ghosts and ghosts, so he didn't punish the eunuch, but just gave a casual order.

"Old slave obeys!"

The eunuch hurriedly said.

"Concubine Chuanhui, come here."

After such a toss just now, Emperor Tang was exhausted mentally and mentally. He waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, and then announced a concubine to come in and let him stand by so that he could watch him fall asleep.

……

"Commander Yu, what's going on tonight?"

After leaving the bedroom, the eunuch asked the general in armor beside him.

"I don't know about this general. I was patrolling here earlier, and when I heard His Majesty calling for help, I rushed into the bedroom. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the hall, I saw a mess all over the place. But the strange thing is that the doors and windows are as they were before, and there is no one at all." been in."

"Is it really evil?"

The superintendent looked terrified and said in a panic.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

When the words fell, the commander's face sank like water.

……

……

The next morning, until dawn breaks.

The Emperor Tang was able to sleep peacefully.

In the early morning, the officials had already passed Zhuque Street.

Not long after, a bell rang from the Drum Tower, and all civil and military officials came to the Jinluan Hall one after another.

However, as soon as the ministers entered the palace, a eunuch came to pass the decree, saying that the emperor was haunted by nightmares yesterday and only slept this morning, so he gave up the court early.

"Eunuch Chen, what's going on, it's so good, your Majesty will be haunted by nightmares?"

After the guard delivered the decree, Di Huaiying, as the minister of Lintai, couldn't help frowning and asked with concern.

"Elder Di Ge, this old slave doesn't know either."

"I heard from Commander Yu, who was on duty yesterday, that in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard His Majesty calling for help. When he rushed into the house, the utensils, books, etc. were in a mess. The strange thing is that no one has ever entered the bedroom?"

Eunuch Chen shook his head and said.

"Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Di Ge's face changed slightly.

He has investigated many cases, large and small, and this is the first time he has heard of such a case.

"Have you ever invited the national teacher to come and see?"

Di Ge always asked.

"I have sent people to go, but His Majesty is resting right now, so I guess he will go there in the evening." Eunuch Chen said.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is important, it doesn't matter if it doesn't come up one day."

Old Di Ge groaned, understanding very well.

After the words fell, he took the lead and walked out of the Golden Luan Hall.

When the officials saw this, they didn't say much. Several important officials stepped forward, asked about His Majesty's situation, and then left.

Ever since, the rest of the officials dispersed.

……

……

Chang'an, Chunhe Xianfu.

Reverend Luofu woke up this morning and was meditating when Lu Dongbin's voice sounded outside the door.

"Brother Ye Dao, the people in the palace have arrived."

"It is said that His Majesty has a nightmare disease and was haunted by ghosts last night, so let Dao brother come into the palace."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Master Luofu's expression froze, and he stood up in doubt.

Pushing open the door, seeing Lu Dongbin, he said in surprise:

"Yesterday, I gave His Majesty a bottle of nourishing pills. How could he be haunted by nightmares?"

"Could it be that the people in the palace didn't use the nourishing pills?"

Lu Dongbin said doubtfully.

"uncertain."

"However, there must be something evil hiding in this palace."

Master Luofu thought, he already had a guess in his heart.

"Brother Dao should hurry up and enter the palace."

This is a big matter, and Lu Dongbin is also urging Master Luo Fu.

"It's still daylight, and the evil spirits dare not show up, so there is no need to be in a hurry. Originally, Pindao planned to inform His Majesty that Daoist Dong Xiao had agreed to enter the palace to meet the saint, but this happened unexpectedly."

Master Luofu waved his hand and said.

Immediately, his complexion changed and he smiled:
"Since that's the case, I'll let Master Dong Xiao handle the matter of catching ghosts. By the way, let His Majesty have a look at his abilities."

"Oh, Brother Dao wants my junior brother to go?"

Lu Dongbin was taken aback.

"That's right, anyway, the Daoist Dongxiao has agreed to face the saint, so it doesn't matter if he goes earlier."

Master Luofu nodded.

"Then I don't know what the younger brother means?"

Lu Dongbin was concerned, and frowned.

"Go to Han Mansion, don't you know?"

Daoist Luo Fu smiled.

Immediately afterwards, the two walked out of Chunhe Xianfu.

……

……

the other side.

Since Han Yu didn't go to court this morning, Han Yu just went to the Jinluan Hall and turned back.

Han Yu also heard about His Majesty's situation, saying that he was haunted by evil spirits.

Before that, Han Yu would definitely not believe it, thinking it was nonsense.

But after what happened with Han Xiangzi, Han Yu didn't dare to speak rashly.

Therefore, after returning to the mansion, he went to the quiet room where Han Xiangzi often stayed, and chatted with him.

"Uncle, why is it so early today?"

Han Xiangzi was in the room, looking through the music script Daoyue given by the Great Immortal Hongya, and when he saw Han Yu coming, he walked out of the room and asked.

"Xiangzi, Your Majesty was haunted by evil spirits last night, and stayed up all night until dawn, so this morning will be fine."

"I don't know about this, but in your opinion is it true or not?"

Han Yu explained.

Immediately, he seriously asked this nephew for advice.

After all, no matter how you say it, Han Xiangzi's status in the Taoist sect can be compared with Daoist Luofu, Mr. Shenke and others.

"Uncle, do you mean that Emperor Tang is haunted by evil spirits?"

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi was shocked and asked hurriedly.

Hearing Han Yu's words, Han Xiangzi subconsciously shook his head.

This emperor in the world is protected by Ziwei.

It is also a body of destiny, and the palace is still a forbidden place, not to mention that it is difficult for monsters and ghosts to enter, even the God of Fortune and the City God can't walk around in the palace.

"This matter has already been spread in the palace, and most likely it cannot be faked."

One side of Han Yu's face said seriously.

"Could it be a waste of ghosts?"

Seeing this, Han Xiangzi thought to himself.

When it comes to wasting ghosts, one person has to be mentioned.

That is Zhong Kui.

This Zhong Kui, who is said to be from Yongzhou, grew up in Zhongnan Mountain since he was a child.

This man, a complete student of civil and martial arts, was criticized by others because of his ugly appearance, even though he was the number one scholar in high school. This is the way.

Afterwards, Tang Huang was haunted by evil spirits, and because of his meritorious service in catching ghosts, he was named the Holy King of Blessing Town House.

"Xiangzi?"

Seeing Han Xiangzi's expression changed, Han Yu called out.

"Uncle, Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. Auspicious people have their own celestial features. You should always turn bad luck into good fortune. You don't have to worry about it."

When he came back to his senses, Han Xiangzi gave a word of relief.

Even if there are really wasteful ghosts in the palace, there are quite a few real people in Chang'an.

Brother Ye Dao can take it, and he doesn't have to go.

The voice fell.

Han Xiangzi's face suddenly changed.

"What's the matter, Xiangzi?"

Han Yu asked again.

"It's Daoist Luofu and my senior brother who are here."

Han Xiangzi laughed.

After finishing speaking, he stood up and looked out of the courtyard. As expected, he saw these two people coming together and stepping into the courtyard.

"Reverend Dongxiao, you're here to bother me again."

Immortal Luofu came in and asked a good word.

"Brother Ye Dao, what are you talking about?"

Han Xiangzi smiled lightly, and immediately motioned for the two to sit down.

Here, upon seeing this, Han Yu excused himself and left.

"Han Shilang, you don't have to leave."

"I'm looking for Master Dong Xiao to talk about His Majesty."

Master Luo Fu watched his words and expressions, and hurriedly blocked the way.

The words fall.

Han Yu was startled, thought for a while, and finally sat back.

"Brother Ye Dao, do you want Pindao to go to the palace to see if there is any evil?"

Han Xiangzi knew the purpose of the two of them coming, but before Master Luofu said the reason, he was the first to ask straight to the point.

"Reverend Dongxiao has great opinions. To tell you the truth, your senior brother and I have exactly the same intention."

"Anyway, you agreed to enter the palace to face the saint yesterday, so it doesn't matter if it's earlier."

Master Luofu smiled brightly and said.

"That's according to brother Dao."

Han Xiangzi agreed without thinking about it.

With his ability, taking a wasteful ghost is still easy to catch.

Besides, he also wanted to see if the Emperor Tang was haunted by nightmares, did he encounter Zhong Kui?

"Junior brother, if there are demons really causing trouble, you can't be careless."

"Once something goes wrong, use the flute as your name, and I will come by myself."

Seeing that Han Xiangzi agreed so easily, Lu Dongbin didn't suspect him, so he warned him.

You know, the palace is not a place to wait.

If there are monsters mixed in, then its ability will be great.

"Brother, don't worry, the younger brother knows it well."

Han Xiangzi smiled slightly.

"Don't forget that Daoist Dongxiao, he will enter the palace in the evening."

Master Luo Fu said again.

"The poor will."

Han Xiangzi nodded.

Not long after, Master Luofu and Lu Dongbin exchanged some pleasantries with him, then got up and left.

Seeing the two people coming and going in a hurry, Han Xiangzi smiled helplessly.

"Xiangzi, have you really decided to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit?"

After the two of them left, Han Yu looked at Han Xiangzi, and for a moment he gasped, and he asked.

once Upon a time.

Han Yu hoped that his nephew, grand-nephew, would be able to pass the Jinshi examination, go on an official career, and become a pillar of the country.

Unexpectedly, the latter learned the Tao by mistake.

I thought he was ignorant, but who would have thought that the latter made such a name for himself and became a Daoist master.

So far, not only can I get the announcement from His Majesty!

It can also solve problems for the holy majesty!
Han Yu never thought about this at all.

"Naturally, didn't my uncle always hope that my nephew would have this day?"

As if capturing the fluctuations in Han Yu's state of mind, Han Xiangzi lifted his head up, showing a hint of a smile.

"Xiangzi, you have grown up, your uncle blamed you before, I hope you won't resent me..."

Hearing this, Han Yu smiled gratifiedly, with a look of vicissitudes on his face, his heart was astringent, and he sighed bitterly.

"If my uncle hadn't raised me up all those years ago, wouldn't Xiangzi be the same today? How could my grandnephew complain about my uncle?"

As soon as these words came out, Han Xiangzi straightened his expression, his eyes were pure, and he spoke.

Suddenly, he changed the subject, looked straight at Han Yu, and asked:
"However, have you considered what your nephew and granduncle mentioned to your uncle a few days ago?"

It turned out that after Han Yu's [-]th birthday was over, when the grandfather and grandson talked by candlelight at night, Han Xiangzi urged Han Yu to follow him to learn Taoism from the bottom of his heart.

But Han Yu couldn't let go.

It takes a few days to think about it.

In this regard, Han Xiangzi did not force Han Yu to make an early decision.

Han Yu was the first to say this today, so Han Xiangzi took the opportunity to ask again.

"Alas... the aspirations of those who study are to cultivate one's moral character, regulate one's family, rule the country and the world."

"Your uncle has been studying and writing all his life. Now you tell me to put aside the way of sages and follow you to practice with all your heart. This..."

Hearing this, Han Yu let out a long sigh, and told Han Xiangzi about his difficulties.

"Uncle, don't be in a hurry right now."

"My nephew didn't force you to make an immediate decision."

Seeing Han Yu's distressed face, Han Xiangzi stopped insisting.

Anyway, this time he went to Han Yu for the second time, and the effect was remarkable.

Not only made the latter believe that there are ghosts and gods in the world, but also let him get rid of his previous derogatory attitude.

This is comparable to once, and the effect is much greater.

"Xiangzi, pack it up earlier, at sunset, someone from the palace will surely come here to lead you to meet the Holy One."

Han Yu changed the subject, warned Han Xiangzi, and went out.

"The grandnephew will."

Han Xiangzi replied in a deep voice.

……

However, he said that the guards who had gone to Chunhe Xianfu to deliver the decree before returned to the palace and told Concubine Hui that Daoist Dongxiao would come to the palace in the evening to meet His Majesty.

Concubine Hui had heard about this Dongxiao real person even though she was deep in the inner courtyard of the palace.

Hearing this, Concubine Hui felt relieved.

Did she know that this Taoist has great supernatural powers and powerful spells.

If he came to the bedroom to catch ghosts, it would definitely work.

……

Most of the day passed in the blink of an eye.

As the sun set in the west, the light beams of broken gold and cracked clouds refracted down from the evening clouds in the sky, paving a long orange road, extending all the way to the bedroom.

Tang Huang, who had slept for most of the day, also opened his sleepy eyes at this moment.

"Your Majesty, wake up."

Seeing the person on the bed waking up, Concubine Hui, who was dressed in palace attire and had red lips and pink face, said happily.

Seeing that Emperor Tang didn't seem to be sleeping well, she was very considerate and rubbed his temples with her jade hands.

"How long have I been asleep?"

Sitting on the bed, Emperor Tang was numb for a while, and couldn't help asking Concubine Hui.

"Your Majesty has been asleep for almost six hours."

Concubine Hui said.

"Six hours? It's not too short... Has the national teacher ever come?"

Emperor Tang muttered to himself and asked again.

"Earlier, people in the palace went to the Chunhe Immortal Mansion to deliver an edict. The Imperial Master Yuanzhen replied that tonight the Daoist Dongxiao will come to the palace to help His Majesty catch ghosts and relieve the suffering of insomnia."

Concubine Hui's sandalwood mouth was moving, and she said ten words.

"I almost forgot, I said I want to meet this real Dong Xiao."

"That's fine, if that Daoist Dong Xiao really has the ability to catch that little ghost who disturbed me to sleep, I'll reward him with all my previous achievements!"

Hearing this, Tang Huang said thoughtfully.

His voice fell.

In the sleeping hall, an eunuch walked up and knelt down and said:
"Report!"

"Qizou Your Majesty, Daoist Dong Xiao has arrived at the palace, where does His Majesty want to meet him?"

Hearing this, Emperor Tang said to Concubine Hui who was beside him without hesitation:

"Concubine Hui, dress me for me."

Immediately, he looked at the eunuch again and ordered:

"Lead the Daoist Dongxiao to the imperial study first, and let him wait for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch followed the order and walked out of the bedroom.

……

……

But said.

At sunset, in the Han residence, a chariot really came to take Han Xiangzi into the palace to face the saint.

Following the guards to the palace, Han Xiangzi turned around all the way, and finally came to the imperial study.

He walked all the way and saw that the imperial palace was really magnificent, with green tiles and vermilion tiles, magnificent and majestic.

But Han Xiangzi had stayed in the Xuanqi Yuxu Upper Realm of Emperor Zhenwu, so seeing this, he felt calm.

The person who led the way knew that Han Xiangzi was entering the palace for the first time, and he took a special look at the expression on his face, but the latter was neither sad nor happy, and could not see any changes.

Only then did I know that this Daoist Dongxiao is truly Youdao Xianzhen!

……

The imperial study room is spacious and bright.

On the case, the four treasures of the study are all available.

On the wall cabinet on the right, there are many authentic calligraphy and paintings, each of which is priceless.

On another bookshelf, there are memorial books, stacks are more than one foot high, which shows that the Emperor Tang is very diligent.

While looking at.

Outside the door, a sharp and hoarse voice suddenly sounded:

"His Majesty is here!"
