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

Chapter 489: Master Chen Shares Cups and Shocks Wenwu
Is this Taoist the Grandmaster Chen Pu, a disciple of Zhenren Zhengyang at the Ningyang Cave Taoist Temple in Zhongnan Mountain?
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Conghou, Li Congke, Shi Jingtang and even all the civil and military officials recalled one thing in their minds.

Back then, when the Later Tang attacked Nanping, they encountered the Ten Destruction Formations set up by Liang Zhen, the great master of the Jingdi Taoist sect, in Jiangling City.

A group of powerful monks in the army, such as Huang Wanyou, Cai Rujin, Mr. Geng and Zhang Jianming, were no match for them.

Later, it was rumored that Cai Rujin went to Qingcheng Mountain to invite his uncle Chen Pu to come forward, and only then was the power of the Ten Destruction Formation broken.

It can be said that whether it was Li Conghou, Li Congke, Shi Jingtang and other civil and military officials, as well as royal relatives, they had all admired Chen Pu for a long time.

What is regrettable is that Chen Pu did not covet fame, wealth or power. After defeating the Ten Directions Extermination Formation, he disappeared without a trace.

Who would have thought that today there would be a procession from Khitan mourning the late emperor.

When I think of the legendary Chen Pu's earth-shaking power.

All the civil and military officials and royal relatives present showed awe.

Now there's just one problem.

Is this Chen Pu the Chen Pu they are so familiar with?

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on the Taoist.

"Grandmaster, I don't deserve it." Chen Yun said modestly, "But the Taoist Master Zhengyang of the Taoist Temple in Ningyang Cave in Zhongnan Mountain that you mentioned is exactly my mentor."

"ah!"

"It's really Chen Xian!"

"Alas, I never thought that I would be so lucky in this life to see the spirit of Chen Xian."

Civil and military officials as well as the royal family members immediately became agitated.

Li Congke's pupils couldn't help but dilate. When he first heard the name Chen Pu, he felt that it seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Chen Xian who swept across the Jing land!

This is the Grand Master of Taoism in Central Plains!
Li Congke regretted his actions the afternoon before yesterday even more.

The only thing that puzzled Li Congke was why Chen Xian, who was so powerful in the Central Plains, became the great wizard who protected the Khitan nation?
Just when Li Congke was puzzled.

The new emperor, Li Conghou, seemed particularly excited.

He went straight down the stairs and trotted to Chen Yun.

Li Conghou bowed deeply and said, "I didn't know that you, the Immortal Chen, would come to visit me. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you won't blame me."

Chen Yun didn't expect Li Conghou to respect him so much.

He smiled and held out his hand to the air, "Your Majesty is worth a fortune, there is no need to be so polite to me."

Li Conghou felt an invisible force lifting him up and he could not help but stand up straight.

He said with a little awe: "It is my duty to honor Chen Xian. If Chen Xian had not come forward to save Jiangling City from danger, my Tang Dynasty would have suffered. When the late emperor was still alive, he often lamented that he could not find Chen Xian, otherwise he would have built a temple to worship him."

Although the Later Tang Dynasty still failed to capture Jiangling City in the end, if Chen Yun had not stepped in to resolve the difficulty of the Ten Destruction Formation, it would have been possible for Nanping and Southern Wu to unite and launch a counterattack.

It can be said that although Chen Yun broke the Ten Destruction Formation on the surface, he actually saved the destiny of the Later Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Conghou, Li Congke and many civil and military officials were in awe of him from the bottom of their hearts.

Hearing this, Chen Yun roughly understood why Li Conghou respected him.

He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your kindness."

Li Conghou hurriedly said, "Quick, move a chair for Chen Xian."

Shi Jingtang liked to take advantage of opportunities, and when he saw an opportunity to show off, he quickly moved his chair over and said in a flattering manner, "Chen Xian, please take a seat."

Well, he didn't know that Taoist Gou Teng, Xie Wuyang and Chen Yun had a grudge, otherwise they wouldn't have been so flattering.

When Li Congke saw this scene, he couldn't help but secretly curse Shi Jingtang for his flattery.

Well, he actually had this idea just now, but he didn't expect that Shi Jingtang would take the lead, so he cursed in his heart.

Chen Yun sat down without hesitation.

He politely clasped his fists and returned the greeting, "Thank you, Secretary Shi, for giving me your seat."

Afterwards, Li Conghou asked someone to bring chairs to Nihe and Nihe.

Nihe, Xihe, Yeluwa, Zhulihunhe, Master Cixian and others glanced at Chen Yun frequently.

Although they had long known that Chen Yun was famous in the Central Plains, they had never expected that even the Emperor of Later Tang would behave like a fanboy.

Afterwards, Li Conghou first expressed his condolences to the mourning team in accordance with etiquette.

Yelu Wa represented the mourning team and presented some gifts.

Li Conghou also rewarded gold, silver and jewelry as a return gift.

Finally, the condolence matters were completed.

Li Conghou said impatiently: "I will hold a banquet in Daming Palace tonight. I hope Chen Xian... well, I hope the Khitan envoys can come with me to have dinner and comfort you for your fatigue from the journey."

Yelu Wa quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After talking about the matter, according to the rules, Chen Yun and others temporarily left the palace under the reluctant gazes of Li Conghou, Li Congke and others.

……

Afternoon, Shen Zheng.

Chen Yun, Nihe, Yihe, Yelu Wa and others arrived at the Daming Palace, greeted by carriages and horses from the Honglu Temple.

Generally speaking, the emperor would host dinners at four o'clock in the afternoon.

In fact, for high-standard receptions, the table would be set with cold dishes and snacks around noon.

Wait until the guests are at the table before gradually serving the hot dishes.

It can’t be said of hot dishes either.

After all, someone has to taste the food.

Only present it after confirming that it is non-toxic.

Basically it was cold when it was served.

At this time, it was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.

In the Daming Palace, Li Conghou, as the emperor, sat alone at a table.

His table is the "Golden Dragon Banquet Table".

The table was surrounded by a tablecloth embroidered with gold.

The others sat at two rows of large banquet tables.

There was a long table between the banquet table and the emperor's throne, where the dishes were placed. The court dishes were quite exquisite, with chicken, duck, fish and meat being common, as well as various mountain and sea delicacies, which were almost full.

Li Conghou first thanked the Khitan envoys and civil and military officials for coming to the banquet.

Then, he took the initiative to stand up and invite, "Chen Xian, I have admired you for a long time. Can you invite me to have dinner with you today?"

The emperor took the initiative to invite him in public.

If you don't agree, it would be tantamount to insulting the royal family.

Chen Yunting gave Li Conghou face, "Your Majesty's invitation is really a great honor for me."

Li Conghou was extremely excited and quickly sat down nearby and asked someone to bring a chair for Chen Yun.

Chen Yun walked forward and sat down side by side with the emperor in a graceful and confident manner.

If an ordinary person were invited by the emperor in this way, he would probably be terrified and overwhelmed.

However, Li Congke, Shi Jingtang and other civil and military officials looked at Li Conghou with envy.

Obviously, they also wanted to have the honor of having dinner with Chen Xian like the emperor.

Nihe, Xihe, Zhulihunhe and others all looked calm, as if they had no emotions about it.

In fact, Nihe and Xihe were secretly calculating in their hearts what kind of magical skills Chen Yun would demonstrate tonight so that Li Congke would make up his mind to go to him for advice.

Indeed, although Li Congke knew Chen Yun's identity and admired him very much, he was somewhat conflicted because Chen Yun came with the Khitan mourning team. He didn't know whether he should ask Chen Yun for help.

After deciding on our seats, everyone started talking about the relationship between the two countries while eating.

After all, this was a necessary matter, and Li Conghou didn't pay much attention to Chen Yun because of it.

Wait until you have a good relationship with Yelu Wa.

Li Conghou plans to treat Chen Yun well tonight.

He smiled and looked over and said, "Chen Xian..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Conghou stopped talking.

Because Chen Yun was sitting there and hadn't even touched his chopsticks!

Li Congke, Shi Jingtang and all the civil and military officials also noticed the situation and looked at each other in surprise.

This made everyone feel uneasy, wondering whether Chen Yun didn't want to eat or had some objection.

Li Conghou asked cautiously, "Chen Xian, are you dissatisfied with these dishes?"

Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what was going on.

Only Nihe and Xihe looked at each other. They knew that Chen Yun was preparing to display a series of magic skills to completely "hook" the fish.

As expected, Chen Yun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I entered the fasting stage at an early age, and I usually don't eat on weekdays."

Li Conghou said with some regret: "I thought I didn't treat you well enough. It turns out that Chen Xian is fasting. It's a pity that I don't have the honor to drink with Chen Xian."

Chen Yun still maintained his smile and said, "Your Majesty wants to drink a cup with me. I certainly cannot refuse your Majesty's kindness. Well, I will drink a cup with your Majesty, but I have something to say first."

When Li Conghou heard that the immortal was willing to drink with him, he was overjoyed and said quickly, "Chen Xian, please go ahead."

Li Congke, Shi Jingtang and all the civil and military officials had no idea what Chen Yun was going to say, and they all looked curious.

Not to mention them, even Yelu Wa, Ni He and Xi He who were traveling with him didn't know what Chen Yun was going to do next.

Hence, everyone looked at Chen Yun with curiosity.

Chen Yunduan sat down and said slowly: "If I eat during this fasting period, I will feel extremely hungry. I need Your Majesty to prepare five buckets of wine and a whole sheep for me so that I can fill my stomach and not lose my strength."

Well, what he said is pure nonsense.

Li Conghou believed it and was shocked, "Five buckets of wine, a whole lamb, Chen Xian, how can you eat so much?"

Li Congke, Shi Jingtang and others all looked surprised.

Currently, a large dou of wine weighs twelve jin, and a small dou of wine weighs about four jin.

In other words, even if Chen Yun drinks five small buckets of wine later, it will be almost twenty kilograms!
That’s not all, Chen Yun also wanted to eat the whole lamb.

Most goats nowadays are small breeds, weighing about 40 kilograms. Even if the internal organs are removed and the weight of the bones is not counted, the remaining meat weighs at least 20 kilograms.

Twenty kilograms of wine and twenty kilograms of mutton, how can I possibly finish them?

That's why everyone looks curious.

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Your Majesty will know it later. Now, let me drink a cup with you?"

Li Conghou said quickly: "Pour the wine."

Immediately a palace maid came up to pour wine.

The wine glass in front of Chen Yun had just been filled.

Li Conghou immediately raised his glass, "Chen Xian, I toast..."

"Hey." Chen Yun raised his hand to stop him, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Li Conghou was completely confused. "I offer you a drink, Chen Xian."

Li Congke, Shi Jingtang, Yelu Wa and everyone present, including Nihe and Nihe, were all extremely puzzled.

Drinking a glass of wine together doesn't mean I'm toasting you. Do you really want to drink a glass of wine?
How unhygienic it is to do this!

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty said that you want to drink a cup with me, then of course I have to drink a glass of wine."

what?
Are you two really ready to have a drink?

Everyone almost fainted.

The result was that everyone was speechless.

Chen Yun stretched out his hand and drew a line at the wine glass.

The wine glass immediately broke into two halves.

And the drinks were not spilled!
He picked up half of the glass and handed it over, "Your Majesty, please drink."

Li Conghou just stood there in a daze.

Li Congke also couldn't help but take a breath.

Shi Jingtang, civil and military officials, and royal relatives were all shocked.

No one expected that Chen Xian's magic was so amazing that he could split the cup into two without leaking a drop of wine!
