The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 54: Master! I want to practice Taoism and achieve immortality!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

When Peng Xuan heard this, he immediately smiled and his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Ju couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

It seems that this master is not entirely a Taoist god. When he heard that the money had been received, he immediately bowed down and saluted.

What a miser!

"No gifts."

Zhu Yuanzhang puffed out his belly, and the sense of superiority of being an emperor returned to him.

Even if you really have some skills in Taoism, don't you still have to bow your head in front of me?
What’s so great about that? Huh!

"Master Peng, this is not the place to talk."

Ma Xiuying glanced at the sleeping Zhu Chong, stood up and said,

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ju immediately started shouting:

"Mom, go to my place, go to my place!"

"My place is big and spacious!"

He believed that the bald Taoist priest Peng Xuan had real abilities, so he naturally would not miss the opportunity to seek the immortal way.

Besides, those statues in the west wing were all randomly placed by him at random, so he wanted to ask an expert to take a look and give him some advice!

"Okay, I'll go sit at your place."

Ma Xiuying readily agreed and stood up with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Peng Xuan received a reward from the emperor and was in a very good mood. He followed the emperor and the empress with a smile, walking side by side with Zhu Ju.

"Master, what are you doing in Wudang Mountain?"

Zhu Ju couldn't hold back his temper, and after walking a few steps, he couldn't help but speak.

"Keep your appointment."

"Whose appointment are you going to? Could it be with Master Zhang Sanfeng?!" Zhu Ju became interested and asked hurriedly.

Peng Xuan shook his head.

Seeing this, Zhu Ju was suddenly disappointed.

"How could the Great Immortal, who is such a great person, invite a junior like me?"

Peng Xuan smiled and said,

"To be invited by this old man, one must be of the same status and position as your master to be qualified."

Zhu Ju: “!!!”

Hearing this, he was excited and his eyes lit up!

"In other words, Master Zhang Sanfeng really exists?!"

"Our great master is his guest of honor, so he must be a god-like figure!"

"I knew it, I knew it... Immortal cultivation is real! Gods are real too, hahahaha, good, good!"

He kept muttering to himself and almost jumped up!

Peng Xuan's few words made Zhu Ju fall into extreme excitement and unable to extricate himself!

"This child...is starting to go crazy again."

Ma Xiuying glanced back and saw Zhu Ju jumping and dancing with excitement. She couldn't help feeling helpless.

"Speaking of immortals, Zhou Dian was indeed an extraordinary person back then."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said,

"We used a lot of tricks on him back then. We threw him into a big pot and simmered him for half an hour. An ordinary person would have been cooked long ago, but he was able to act like nothing happened and just sweated a little."

"If you ask him to eat, he can eat as much rice as ten soldiers in one day. If you lock him up, he won't die of starvation even if he starves for a month. If you tie him up and throw him into the water, he will appear again from nowhere."

"After we defeated Chen Youliang, he left. When we tried to find him later, we could no longer find any trace of him."

"I didn't believe in gods and immortals at first, but after meeting him, I started to have some doubts."

Zhu Ju's expression changed drastically when he heard this.

"Is this really possible?"

Isn’t Zhou Dian one of the Five Wandering Ming Cult members in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber?
It seems that Mr. Jin might have been inspired by this 'Zhou Dian' in history... "Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes. If he was playing a trick, I'm not a fool and it won't escape my eyes."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said,

"There are too many strange things in this world. There was the purple-robed man in the past, Zhou Dian in the future, and the legendary Zhang Sanfeng in the folk legend. You can't delve into it. If you indulge in it, government affairs will be neglected. This is not the right way for an emperor."

"In fact, I think that immortals are nothing special. They are just somewhat magical. If we really talk about their abilities, they are definitely not as good as us, the emperor of the world!"

When Peng Xuan heard Zhu Yuanzhang say the three words "man in purple", his expression changed slightly, but returned to normal in an instant.

"What your Majesty said is true."

He cupped his hands and said seriously,
"The Emperor governs the country and benefits all the people. His ability is superior to that of ordinary gods."

"Your Majesty is the founding emperor. You drove out the Tartars and restored China. Even if a Daluo Jinxian descended to the mortal world, he might not be able to do so."

Zhu Yuanzhang twirled his beard and raised the corners of his mouth.

He likes to hear this.

"Master, I want to learn, I want to learn to be a god!"

Zhu Ju listened to the conversation between the two and suddenly gained confidence. He shouted,

"I want to call the wind and rain and live forever!"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and glared.

"Just be quiet! I'm warning you, as a prince you have to have the responsibilities of a prince!"

He said angrily,

"Why do we make you kings? It's so that you brothers can work together in the future to take care of this land that we have fought so hard for!"

"If you are ignorant and talk nonsense every day, I will break your legs, do you believe it?"

Zhu Ju's head shrank.

"Don't you have the power to govern the world? Don't you have a big brother in the future? I can't do anything about it."

He curled his lips and said,

"Besides, I am the King of Wu. I can just stay in Jiangnan and enjoy the wealth and glory in the future. Not causing trouble for you and your elder brother is the greatest help I can give."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "!!!"

"You...you little bastard!"

He was extremely angry, but then he thought that what this kid said... made sense.

Wu is not a frontier fortress, and there is no important task of defending the border...

It seems that as long as you don't cause any trouble, everything will be fine.

"Alright, alright, since Xiaojuzi is interested in practicing Taoism, just let him be."

Ma Xiuying chimed in,

"He doesn't need to govern the country like Biao'er in the future. He just needs to live a good life. It's good to have some hobbies."

"When I have nothing to do in the future, I will also cultivate my character. Maybe I can live a few more years."

Zhu Ju grinned.

As expected, I still love me the most!

"You... ah!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked helpless, waved his sleeves and said nothing more.

"Master, Master!"

Seeing that Old Zhu was at a loss, Zhu Ju quickly entangled Peng Xuan and said,
"I want to practice Taoism and achieve immortality!"

"Do you have any powerful skills? If you teach me one, I promise to practice it day and night! I will definitely improve!"

Peng Xuan was not annoyed by Zhu Ju's noise, but just smiled and said:

"Of course I can cultivate the great way of immortality."

"However, practicing Taoism is a very difficult thing. Moreover, it is not so easy to practice Taoism with me. I have very high requirements for my disciples."

"I'm afraid you can't bear this humiliation and hardship, so you'd better be a registered disciple. I'll teach you some health-preserving techniques and incantations, which can help you live longer."

"how?"
