Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 2014 Celestial Master
Turns out he is the current Holy Emperor?
Bu Zhenxin was so frightened that he couldn't even kowtow. He shouted with difficulty: "I have seen the emperor. Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"

The person sitting on the seat was none other than the Emperor Qianlong. He looked at Bu Zhenxin who was kneeling outside the pavilion, hummed and said, "Get back on your feet."

"Thank you, Long Live!" Bu Zhenxin finally got up, bowed and stood aside with his hands down, his clothes were already drenched with sweat.

The man in civilian clothes who was playing chess with Qianlong finally raised his eyes from the chessboard and looked at Bu Zhenxin silently.

This man was young, around thirty, with fair skin and elegant temperament, but his eyes were quite calm, which was not consistent with his age.

Qianlong also looked at Bu Zhenxin. Seeing that he had no ears and an ugly face, he frowned slightly and said, "I heard that you have a precious sword at home. Have you brought it with you?"

"This servant has brought it, please take a look at it, your Majesty." Bu Zhenxin hurriedly took off the blood-swallowing knife hanging from his waist, held the scabbard in his hand, and knelt down on one knee.

A guard in plain clothes stepped forward, took the treasured sword from Bu Zhenxin, and presented it to Qianlong.

Qianlong stood up and wanted to reach out to take it.

"Holy Majesty, wait a minute." The commoner also stood up, reaching out to block the void.

Qianlong's guards were startled, thinking that this guy wanted to seize the sword, so they hurriedly turned aside.

Qianlong smiled lightly and said, "What's wrong? What does the Heavenly Master have to say?"

Heavenly Master?Bu Zhenxin stood outside the pavilion, looked up at the young man, and thought to himself, what kind of job is a celestial master?It suddenly occurred to me that I had chatted with Rao Shi once. Rao Shi said that Qingxu, the celestial master of Longhu Mountain, was not very old, but his magic power was profound.Could it be that this disheveled man is the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain?
In fact, Bu Zhenxin guessed correctly that this person was the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, whose Taoist name was Qingxu.

The last time Chuxiu Palace was haunted, Emperor Qianlong sent a message from flying pigeons to Longhu Mountain to ask Heavenly Master Qingxu to catch the ghost, but Heavenly Master Qingxu was out of town and could not be contacted.After returning to Longhu Mountain, Qingxu received an invitation from the court again, so he had no choice but to come to the capital for a visit.

In fact, during the Qianlong period, the relationship between Longhu Mountain and the court was not good, and they only maintained superficial courtesy.

During the Yongzheng period, Qianlong's father respected Longhushan very much. He made the great master of Longhushan a first-class official, and the capital granted him a large-scale homestead of 99 houses.However, after Yongzheng died and Qianlong took over, he drove away the previous Heavenly Master and took back the house. The official title of the Heavenly Master was seventh grade, which shows that he was harsh.

But this time it was different. The palace was really haunted. Only then did Qianlong remember the prestige of Longhu Mountain and panicked to summon Qingxu, the then Celestial Master.

Qingxu came to the capital and was received by Qianlong in person. They had a pleasant conversation.Talking about this sword during the dinner, Qianlong decided to take a look and see if Master Qingxu had any insights.

This is the reason why Heavenly Master Qingxu appeared in Prince Li's Mansion.

Now, Heavenly Master Qingxu stopped Emperor Qianlong from taking the sword, smiled slightly, and said: "This sword is not something that the Holy One can touch. For the sake of the common people in the world, I ask the Holy One not to touch it."

"What does Tianshi mean by this?" Qianlong frowned, already feeling unhappy in his heart.

"This sword is a very dangerous thing. If it falls into the hands of the emperor, it will arouse the murderous intent. It is not a blessing for the world." The Heavenly Master looked at the outside of the pavilion and said: "The holy martial arts are outstanding and powerful all over the world. Once the murderous intent in the chest is aroused, , I’m afraid it’s easy to let go but hard to take back. I hope your Majesty will think twice.”

Emperor Qianlong laughed and said: "Are you being alarmist? I just took a look. How can you be so powerful?"

The Heavenly Master smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you think I'm telling the truth? Forget it, let me make a bet with Your Majesty. If I make a mistake, Your Majesty can grant me death."

"Okay, it's okay to play a game. As for the punishment of death, there is no need." Qianlong looked at Qingxu and asked: "I don't know how the great master can make a bet with me?"

Heavenly Master Qingxu pointed around the pavilion and said: "Prince Li's Mansion is peaceful, with white flowers blooming and birds and animals at ease. But once the blood-swallowing knife is unsheathed and held in the Holy Master's hand, in a matter of seconds, within a radius of ten feet, all the underground Ants and earthworms will all die. This is the result of the murderous aura of the Blood Swallowing Knife combined with the domineering aura of the Holy King."

"Will there be such severe consequences?" Prince Li and Qianlong were both surprised.

"If you make false claims, I am willing to die under the blood-swallowing knife." Qingxu nodded slightly.

Qianlong thought for a while and said, "Okay, I have nothing to do, so I'll give it a try."

Prince Li rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, wait a moment. I'll ask my servants to dig up the ground first to see if there are any ants or earthworms."

Qianlong thought about it, this also makes sense, so he nodded slightly.

Check the ecological conditions underground first to avoid being fooled.If Heavenly Master Qingxu had used Taoism to secretly kill the ants and earthworms around the pavilion, wouldn't he have been deceived?

Qingxu smiled and said nothing, watching silently.

The guards of the Prince's Palace outside the pavilion immediately dug up the ground with their swords and took three to five points in total.

Qianlong and Prince Li went to see it in person and saw ants and earthworms in the soil. They were alarmed and fled in a hurry.

"The Holy One has verified that everything is correct, and we can begin." Heavenly Master Qingxu said.

Qianlong nodded, returned to the pavilion, stretched out his hand, and pulled out the blood-swallowing sword from the guard's hand.

Clang...

The sword was unsheathed, dragons roared and tigers roared, and the surrounding atmosphere changed slightly.

"What a sword!" Qianling looked at the sword and danced with it in admiration.

Qingxu raised his hand and said: "Please, Your Majesty, please point this way if you have murderous intentions."

Qianlong nodded, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he pointed the blood-swallowing knife in his hand towards the ground due south.

The garden was silent and motionless.

"Your Majesty, please change the direction and point here." Qingxu said with a slight smile.

Qianlong complied, and within half a stick of incense, the blood-swallowing knife pointed to the four directions of east, west, north and south.

However, Qianling's expression had changed at this time, becoming very cold and stern, with sharp eyes that made people dare not look directly at him.

In the back garden, there used to be birds chirping and chirping, but now they are all quiet, and there is no sound.

"Please, Your Majesty, abandon your sword and check the ants, earthworms and other things underground." Heavenly Master Qingxu raised his hand again and said loudly.

Qianlong was stunned for a moment, calmed down, and slowly put down the blood-swallowing knife.When Qianlong held the knife just now, murderous intent surged in his heart, and he himself felt something was wrong.

Prince Li wiped his sweat and hurriedly ordered his servants to check the ground around the pavilion.

"Reporting to the Holy One, reporting to the Prince, all the ants and earthworms in the ground are dead!" The guards dug up a few places in the ground again and reported immediately.

Qianlong's face was gloomy, and he and Prince Li walked down to the pavilion to take a look.In the dug pits, earthworms, moles, and ants were all motionless and lifeless.

Qingxu stepped forward with a smile and said: "The power of the Holy God is so great that it is indeed extraordinary."
