I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 103: He Bingweng and the Crane Boy with a Human Head and a Bird Body

Tang Dynasty, Sitianjian.

It is located outside the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five academies, and the Eastern Palace.

Under the direct management of King Tang.

It not only observes astronomical phenomena, calculates solar terms, deduces the calendar, and determines the four seasons for the country.

He even surveyed Feng Shui to find the fortune hidden in the Tang Dynasty's territory for the King of Tang, predicted good and bad luck, and identified people and predicted their fate.

However, thirteen years ago, since Zhao Guizhen became the national teacher.

He forcibly dismissed the director of the Imperial Observatory and replaced him with his Taoist friend, He Bingweng.

Since he was young, He Bingweng has respected the old immortal in heaven who controls the lifespan of people on earth, the Nan Ji Xianweng.

So when He Bingweng had made some progress in the Taoist way, he gave himself a Taoist name: The Immortal of the South.

"Young Taoist priest, since Taoist priest He is your master's close friend, shouldn't you meet him out of courtesy?"

Although Eunuch Gao spoke in a respectful tone and had a sincere attitude.

But the Jinwu Guards who gathered quietly outside the house showed that the old eunuch did not believe the nonsense spoken by Yan in front of the hall at all.

"Ahem, ahem, I have an upset stomach from the fasting these days, so I need to go to the place where the five grains are reincarnated first."

Damn it, Li Gui has met Song Jiang. If he doesn’t run away, he will definitely be exposed.

However, adhering to the principle of "I would rather die than let my friend die", Tang Qianyan immediately added.

"These three Taoist priests are my master's predecessors. Let them go ahead and discuss Taoism with my uncle. They can come back after I get rid of all the impurities in my body."

After saying that, Tang Qianyan ignored Li Yingtai's murderous look.

He quickly stood up and prepared to slip away.

"Why must the people of Mount Zhongnan do this? Can't a cultivator even bear this?"

Before Eunuch Gao could make a move, Jin Chan stood up first, put his hand on Tang Qianyan's shoulder, and pushed him back into the chair.

"Master Jin, my stomach is really uncomfortable. Look."

"Hold it!"

Before Tang Qianyan could finish his words, Jin Chan glared at him condescendingly and growled in an irrefutable tone.

"It's not okay if we don't go on the trail anymore."

Just like that, Jin Chan continued to eat with his eyelids drooping, half asleep.

At this moment, there were only Li Tai and Xiao Luoyang at the round table, and they acted as if nothing had happened.

One reason is because they were stupid and didn’t notice any clues.

One is because of trust.

This went on until half the dishes on the table were almost finished.

"Haha, I heard that my fellow Taoist actually accepted a disciple? I'm really happy for him!"

suddenly.

Above the Wolong Temple, a huge bird was seen flying slowly from the horizon.

And a hearty but creepy voice also came along.

"Your Highness, fellow Taoist priests, Taoist priest He Bingweng has arrived!"

Eunuch Gao smiled slightly, his eyes fixed on Yan in front of the hall, but his words were heard by everyone.

"Let's go, people from Mount Zhongnan!"

Jin Chan stood up first, grabbed Tang Qianyan by the back of the collar, pushed him in front of him, and then walked out together.

Outside the dining hall.

I saw a huge "crane" with a wingspan of more than ten meters, flapping its wings above the temple.

Every time it flapped its wings, the plants in the temple were almost uprooted.

The clay pot placed nearby had already been smashed into pieces against the wall.

"Let's go down, 'White Crane Boy'!"

He Bingweng, who was on the crane's back, spoke softly.

The "crane" that received the order slowly descended to the open space below.

Not a moment.

The crane stopped in the temple.

"What is this thing!?"

With a thud, Li Tai sat down on the ground.

His face was pale, beads of sweat were dripping down his face, and the finger pointing forward was shaking with fear, as if he had seen a terrifying demon.

"Your Highness, don't panic. This is my disciple. Since the Immortal Master Nan Ji Zhen Jun has a Taoist child named Bai He by his side, then I must have one too!"

He Bingweng has not shown up yet, but his voice has been heard.

"Humph, you actually compare yourself to an immortal in heaven!"

If Li Yingtai had not seen many such evil things during his time in the Southern Wilderness, his reaction would probably have been similar to Li Tai's.

The huge "crane" nodded slightly and put its head on the floor tiles.

But on this head, there is neither a long beak nor a slender neck, nor that touch of red on the top of the head.

There were heads of countless children, densely packed together.

They form the crane's head and neck, while countless tender lips form the long beak.

"Master, please!"

"Master, please!"

"Master, please!"

"master."

These children opened their mouths at the same time, and thousands of heads chattered non-stop. Their bright eyes exuded the clarity and innocence that children should have, and they looked around curiously.

The bird's beak, made up of lips, opened and closed noisily.

This made the heads of the people except Jin Chan suddenly swell as if they were about to explode.

"Haha, isn't my Taoist child pretty good? I would like to ask, who else in the Central Plains can have such an excellent Taoist child!"

I saw a short and fat figure with a robe embroidered with delicate cloud patterns and holding a wooden stick. He stepped on the necks formed by these heads and slowly walked down.

"Welcome, the Director of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, Mr. He Bing, and Taoist Priest Nan Fang Xian Weng."

Eunuch Gao was the first to kneel down and kowtow, his dry voice full of flattery.

"Get up!"

As the figure landed on the ground, everyone could see the true face of this short and fat man.

Ugly, so ugly that it's disgusting.

Not only is he short in stature with thick limbs, but his facial features also appear to be pieced together.

The left one has small eyes with single eyelids, while the right one has big eyes with thick eyebrows and double eyelids.

Even his nose had a high bridge, but the tip was as big as a garlic clove.

It has two ears, one with a drooping earlobe and the other with a sharp earlobe like a wild animal.

Even his chubby forehead was different from that of ordinary people. It looked just like the Antarctic Immortal in folk paintings, which was not only bald but also had a high bulge.

However, there are three such foreheads standing on the bald head.

"Who is my Taoist friend's good disciple?"

He Bingweng, leaning on a wooden stick, walked towards the few people step by step.

"It's you?"

"still you?"

"Or these two little girls?"

He Bingweng stroked his black beard and asked Jin Chan and the others one by one.

"What am I asking you, Mr. Zhongnan?"

Jin Chan ignored Yan's aggrieved look in the hall and pushed him in front of He Bingweng.

"Haha, you're hiding your incompetence. Now let's see how you can hide your incompetence."

Jin Chan thought secretly in his heart.

As for Tang Qianyan, Jin Chan doesn't think his abilities are as good as they appear.

Now that we have this opportunity, we might as well see how capable this fellow, who has learned a hundred arts, is.

"just you?"

He Bingweng frowned his thick and thin eyebrows, pointed his nose at the swallow in front of the hall and sniffed it carefully.

"Uncle Master, I finally get to see you!"

Snapped.

I saw Yan in front of the hall bending his legs, kneeling on the ground in an instant, and holding his hands tightly above his head.
