Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 410 The thief shouts to catch the thief
It has been twenty or thirty years since the split in the late Tang Dynasty.

Today is China's famous turbulent regime period, which is the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is a history that many people are familiar with, but in fact the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms can be divided into Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The Five Dynasties refers to the five regimes that existed in the Central Plains after the fall of the Tang Dynasty. The order was Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han and Later Zhou, which finally fell in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The order of the ten kingdoms is Southern Wu, Qian Shu, Wu Yue, Southern Chu, Min, Southern Han, Nanping, Hou Shu, Southern Tang and Northern Han.

I have to mention here that the Southern Tang was actually the Southern Wu, except that Li Min (Xu Zhigao) forced Yang Pu, the last emperor of Southern Wu, to abdicate, so Southern Wu became the Southern Tang. The nature is similar to that of Zhao Kuangyin forcing Emperor Gong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Chai Zongxun, to abdicate.

Now, the situation in the world has changed a lot.

Later Liang was conquered by Later Tang, and the world seemed to return to the Tang court again.

However, there are still many small countries in the south. Nanwu, Nanyue, Nanchu, Min, Nanhan, and Nanping have established political powers one after another. There are also Khitans in the north, and the situation in the world is still unclear.

Of course, there were still two regimes that fell, one was the Back Liang and the other was the Qianshu.

Even if the emperor doesn't blame him, others will try their best to make Zhao Hongyin's second son disappear.

He hurriedly said, "Master."

Zhao Hongyin did not go in immediately, but hid outside the door and looked inside.

Zhao Hongyin's eyes lit up and he said, "Take me to see it quickly."

Zhao Hongyin was so preoccupied that he almost didn't think about food or tea. He was thinking about his child every day.

What's more, everyone said that Zhao Hongyin's family did something wrong and gave birth to a monster.

The capital of the Later Tang Dynasty was Luoyang, which is now the largest political power.

Zhao Hongyin nodded and said: "It is Zhao's good fortune to meet Mr. Wu."

There seemed to be some magic about her.

Or Yelu Deguang succeeded to the throne, that is, Taizong of Liao Dynasty, and Xiao Wen was made queen.

This kind of thing is not a joke. For example, if something bad happens in the country, others may attribute the cause to the second son of Zhao Hongyin and say that monsters have come to bring trouble to the world.

The second year of Tiancheng is the year of Dinghai in the lunar calendar.

He walked inside calmly.

He saw that there were three or four strange people inside. One of them was dressed like a beggar, another looked like a woodcutter, a charming lady, and an old man with white eyebrows.

The two walked quickly towards the living room.

The four of them noticed Zhao Hongyin coming in and stood up to salute.

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler walked in outside the house.

As the father of Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Hongyin was immersed in joy when he learned that his wife Du Shi had given birth to a second son.

Kong Mo gave a Confucian hand-over-hand salute and said, "Kong Mo, Kong Mansion, has met General Zhao."

Zhao Hongyin said quickly: "I don't dare to be such a great scholar."

After a while, I came outside the living room.

Zhao Hongyin was sighing, "What happened to my child? How come the golden light has not been extinguished for three days? Even His Majesty sent someone to ask questions today. If I don't give an answer, I might be in trouble."

He paused and continued to introduce: "That charming lady is the younger brother of the wife of the current holy brother Li Siyuan. She is called Hu Meiniang. It is said that she has practiced powerful magic and has killed evil spirits in Fang County. The last thing is this This old man with white eyebrows is remarkable. His name is Zhuge Yin. During the reign of Emperor Xizong, it was rumored that he could summon gods and change the weather immediately. Later, because of certain things, it was said that Emperor Xizong ordered him to be hanged. However, he faked his death and escaped. It’s not easy to get out now, but I spent a lot of effort to invite Mr. Zhuge here.”

This year, there were many important events.

Of course, these are not the most important things.

However, it didn't take long for Zhao Hongyin to be happy when he encountered a difficult thing, that is, his newly born second son was covered in a golden light. After word spread, with the support of rumors, it gradually became a topic of conversation after dinner.

For example, Yang Qianzhen, the governor of Jianchuan, raised troops to destroy the Dachanghe Kingdom in the name of attacking the Zheng family. He supported the Qingping official Zhao Shanzheng as king and established the "Datian Xingguo".

Talking about it is actually nothing.

When Zhao Hongyin heard that the four strange people were so capable, he was secretly happy even though he was dubious.

Manager Wang said hurriedly: "I traveled all over Luoyang and finally invited some experts to come over."

The most important thing is that Zhao Kuangyin, the son of destiny, was born.

in the lobby.

When Zhao Hongyin saw the appearance of these people, he couldn't help but be startled and lowered his voice and asked: "Steward Wang, are you sure these are all experts?"

Steward Wang quickly said: "Master, people should not be judged by their appearance. Don't look at these people's weird costumes. In fact, they all have great reputations. The one who is like a beggar is called Kong Mo. He is the current owner of the Kong Mansion, the woodcutter. Called Wu Xingde, although he is only nineteen years old now, he has practiced with strangers and not only possesses unpredictable magical skills, it is said that he once killed a tiger with his bare hands. "

When Zhao Hongyin saw it, he quickly stood up and went forward to ask: "Manager Wang, have you invited any strangers to help you look at it?"

Luoyang, Jiamaying.

Manager Wang said: "Shan, everyone is waiting in the living room."

Another example is when Emperor Rui of Southern Wu, Yang Pu, succeeded to the throne.

Wu Xingde was relatively rude, he just cupped his fists and said: "Wu Xingde, a rough man from the mountains, has met General Zhao."

Hu Meiniang bowed and saluted, "Hu Meiniang of the slave family has met General Zhao."

The ancients paid great attention to reputation.

As soon as Zhao Hongyin looked over, he felt like his mind had been taken away from him. He was so frightened that he quickly looked away, not daring to look again, and returned the greeting: "Mrs. Hu, you are polite."

Finally, there was Zhuge Yin, who performed a standard Taoist salute, "Zhuge Yin, I have met General Zhao."

Zhao Hongyin quickly bowed back and said, "Mr. Zhuge, you are polite."

After getting to know each other, Zhao Hongyin went to the first seat, invited everyone to sit down, and asked his servants to bring tea, water, cakes, snacks and other items.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Hongyin brought the topic to the right track, "I would like to thank all the experts for coming to visit me. It's just a matter of my son. I wonder if you can do anything about it?" Wu Xingde said truthfully: "Wu is not confident, I just heard about it. The second young master’s condition looks a bit like jaundice. I have learned medical skills from a foreigner, and I came here to see if I can cure the second young master’s illness.”

Zhao Hongyin and Manager Wang couldn't help but frown. It would be fine if it was jaundice. It's not like they hadn't seen a doctor before.

But Wu Xingde also had good intentions. Zhao Hongyin definitely couldn't refute it openly, so he could only slightly nodded and said, "Mr. Lao Wu will take a look later."

Kong Mo said, "In my opinion, the second young master is possessed by an evil spirit. It just so happens that my Confucianist Haoran's righteousness restrains the evil spirit. I will take a closer look later. If it is the evil spirit that harms the second young master, Kong Mo will definitely take action to kill him."

Zhao Hong said hurriedly: "Thank you, Mr. Kong."

Hu Meiniang nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Kong and I are of the same opinion. This golden light must be causing chaos because of the evil spirits."

Zhuge Yin smiled and said: "Not necessarily. I have been friends with gods and gods all year round. In this situation, I think the second young master may have offended some god and received punishment. But it doesn't matter. I will confirm this later. Burn It can be easily solved by sending a letter to heaven."

Zhao Hongyin thanked him again and again.

Immediately, he stood up and prepared to take four strangers into the inner courtyard to see the condition of his second son.

Suddenly, someone came in and announced.

The doorman said: "Master, there is a strangely dressed monk outside the door asking to see you."

Zhao Hongyin asked in confusion: "How to dress up in strange ways?"

Menlan said: "He is wearing paper clothes."

Zhao Hongyin asked in surprise: "How can pieces of paper be used as clothing?"

Menlan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either, but this monk is indeed wearing paper clothes."

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyin became very curious and said, "Please invite that monk in."

Menlan said: "Good."

After saying this, Menlan went out.

Kong Mo couldn't help but look at Zhuge Yin, as if he knew the identity of this person.

Hu Meiniang's face changed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Only Wu Xing was able to sit upright and his expression did not change at all.

After a while, a monk wearing paper clothes came in. As soon as he came in, he clasped his hands and said, "I am a poor Taoist. I have met General Zhao."

Zhao Hongyin was shocked, "Are you the famous Guangxian Master of the Wu Kingdom?"

Monk Zixin looked calm and modest and said: "I don't dare to call myself a master. I just have a little reputation."

When Zhao Hongyin heard the name of Monk Zixin, he would of course know who he was.

According to rumors, an eminent monk from the Sun family in Linzi traveled all over the world in search of a master but failed, so he lived in seclusion in the Guangde Mountains. However, he was different and often wore paper clothes, which is incredible.

The "paper monk" not only dresses weirdly, but also has "special powers", that is, a pair of discerning eyes.

In the third year of Qianhua in Houliang Dynasty, Wu State sent general Li Tao with 20,000 troops to attack Qianqiu Pass in Ning State. Qian Yuanguan, then the governor of Huzhou, was ordered to stop the attack.

Passing by Guangde, we went to the temple where Zixin lived. Because it was said that Qian Yuanguan once "cut off hundreds of people with his hands", the monks avoided him. Only the monk Zixin sat quietly and did not give way, and went straight to Yuanguan.

Yuan Guan asked Zi Xin: "Why can you recognize me at a glance among so many people?"

Monk Zixin said: "I don't have any special powers, I just know how to read faces."

Later, Yuan Guan really became the king, so he built Ying Rui Academy, let monk Zi Xin preside over it, and named himself "Master Guangxian".

This is the origin of "the best among the masses".

When Zhao Hongyin heard about the name of Monk Zixin, he did not dare to be negligent. He quickly saluted again with a smile on his face and said, "May I ask, Master, why do you come to my Zhao house today?"

The rest of the people all looked towards Monk Zixin.

Monk Zixin smiled slightly and said, "I have two things to do here today."

Zhao Hongyin asked for advice: "Which two?"

Monk Zixin said: "First, it is to drive away evil spirits for the second young master."

Kong Mo, Hu Meiniang and Zhuge Yin all frowned.

Only Wu Xingde still looked as usual.

Zhao Hongyin asked again, "Thank you, Master, for coming all the way here, but what about the second thing?"

Monk Zixin looked around and sneered: "The second thing is that I am here to kill demons!"

Kong Mo’s whole body tensed up!

Hu Meiniang's face changed drastically!
Zhuge Yin looked like he was facing a formidable enemy!
Monk Zixin did not give Zhao Hongyin a chance to speak, but looked directly at Kong Mo, Hu Meiniang and Zhuge Yin, "You monsters and monsters dare to cause trouble in the world. Do you really think you don't take my Buddhist sect seriously? Namo Amitabha, how poor are you today? Tao is about to go on a killing spree!"

After saying this, monk Zixin's whole body shone with intense Buddha light, as if he was ready to catch all the demons in one fell swoop.

Kong Mo, Hu Meiniang and Zhuge Yin did not dare to show weakness, and they secretly brewed Qi, preparing to join forces to fight Monk Zixin to the death.

Zhao Hongyin, Manager Wang and the gatekeepers at the door were all shocked.

They seemed to have never imagined that Kong Mo, Hu Meiniang, Zhuge Yin and others were actually monsters.

The three of them were so frightened that they hurriedly fled outside, fearing that Monk Zixin's battle with a few demons and ghosts would harm Chi Yu.

However, just before they could escape a few steps, a young Taoist priest carrying a wooden sword slowly walked out of the door and said with a smile: "Where does General Zhao want to go?"

Zhao Hongyin had no time to think about how this young Taoist priest with a sword came in. He was extremely frightened and said: "A demon has come to my house. Master Zixin is preparing to kill the demon. Taoist Master, please hide quickly."

The young Taoist laughed loudly, "Thieves shout to catch thieves. Monk Zixin, you really have a way. Poor Taoist Chen Pu, come and meet you!"
