Water Margin Immortal Path

Chapter 054: The earth sends murderous intentions, dragons and snakes rise from the ground

Wu Song followed Yang Jian into the palace and met Empress Dowager Xiang, but only said something about the family's filial piety. The old queen mother was very talkative, and most of the time she asked questions and Wu Song answered. After a while, the old queen mother said she was tired, and Wu Song took her leave.

After Wu Song left, he saw two old eunuchs and Zhao Ji coming out from behind the screen. They said to the Queen Mother: "This Wu Song has talent, but no great talent, and ambition, but no great ambition. He can be reused. This person is a bit lustful. A little greedy for money, emperor, you should know how to control it. "

Zhao Ji smiled and said: "Why does the Queen Mother bother so much? Wu Qing's family has good relations with me, and I can trust him..."

He sternly said to the Queen Mother: "Since you have become the emperor, you have no friends, and no one can be your friend! Those magicians have the ability to surpass the emperor, and if they are not controlled properly, they will cause chaos. The Ai family will not be able to live in peace for a long time. If you die, all the burdens of this country will fall on your shoulders. If Ai Jia dies, you must remember one thing: Although you are the emperor, this country is not yours alone. It’s the entire Zhao family!”

Zhao Ji was obedient and kept saying yes. Yang Jian stood aside, glanced at the two old eunuchs, and secretly broke into a cold sweat for Wu Song. If his answer in the conversation just now was slightly dissatisfactory to Queen Mother Xiang, he would probably be a dead man at this moment.

Those two old eunuchs with withered faces were the senior masters of the eunuch clan. Their cultivation was many times better than that of Yang Jian. What good could they do if they lurked in the darkness of the main hall?

If Wu Song showed any bad thoughts during the conversation, he would be killed by these two eunuchs on the spot!

No matter you are too good or too stupid, as long as you are ambitious or indifferent, your blood will be spilled on the spot! Fortunately, Wu Song answered very cleverly. He was talented but not great, and ambitious but not ambitious. Only this kind of warlock could be controlled by the royal family and come back alive from the palace.

The Empress Dowager Xiang added: "Although Wu Song can be reused, Tianji Pavilion is still too powerful and cannot be checked by anyone. The Ai family heard from Cai Jing that there was a Wang Laozhi in his house who had great magical power, so he and Yang Jian were asked to serve together. The deputy head of Tianji Pavilion separated Wu Song's power."

Zhao Ji nodded in agreement and exited with Yang Jian. When Yang Jian returned to Tianji Pavilion, he told Wu Song, "Fortunately, you didn't say anything wrong."

Wu Song also wiped away the cold sweat, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yang Jian. Yang Jian looked at it carefully and saw that the paper was filled with Juanxiu's small characters. They were all questions, almost exactly the same as the questions asked to the Queen Mother. He was surprised and said: "Is this?"

"Yan Ran wrote it. I didn't agree with it at first. But after hearing what you said, I felt a little scared."

Yang Jian sighed with emotion: "The public loses the girl, Zhuge is the only real girl! She is just too smart, who of this woman dares to marry her?"

Wu Song shook his head and laughed, and said: "Zhang Shuai suggested to Emperor Zhezong that he set up the Tianji Pavilion. The purpose was to provide the army with warlocks who could go on the battlefield and defeat the enemy in a confrontation between the two armies. Now that someone has changed as the emperor, the court has begun to challenge the Tianji Pavilion. Such precautions have lost the meaning of establishing Tianji Pavilion, and presumably this Tianji Pavilion will not exist for long. "

Yang Jian said: "What can I do?"

"The purpose of you and me is to support Longting and seek immortality. It doesn't matter whether Tianji Pavilion is there or not. I think if we can't stay in Kaifeng, it is better to go to the south and search for several other dragon veins. Maybe there will be big gains."

Yang Jian clapped his hands in praise, then frowned and said, "How can you and I find the location of the dragon's veins if we have little magic power?"

Wu Song said with a smile: "I have obtained the "True Interpretation of Guiguzi Collection of Annotations". It will take time to refine my eyes, but I am still worried about not finding the dragon veins? But I am afraid that many warlocks are looking for those dragon veins. Even if we find the dragon veins, I am afraid there will be another one. It's a battle between dragons and tigers. Don't worry, wait until I refine my divine eyes, then go take a look at the dragon veins under the imperial city, and then make a decision!"

Yang Jian said yes, and Wu Song also found Gongshu Yanran, Gao Lian and others, saying that they would retreat and meditate, saying: "General Manager Yang will ask the emperor for a sum of money for our Tianji Pavilion to spend. If you need any materials, just ask. . Another thing is to post recruitment notices all over the country and call for warlocks from all over the world. I have some names here. You should pay close attention to these people. Whether it is a sap or a drug, you must bring them in! "

Wu Song handed a list of names to Gongshu Yanran and said, "I have trained my double-pupil divine eyes. Let's go to the underground dragon vein and experience the feeling of practicing as a heavenly master!"

A group of cow ghosts and snake gods were extremely happy and said in unison: "I wish the master of the pavilion will come out of seclusion soon!"

Gongshu Yanran's heart was also pounding, and she thought to herself: "If he masters the Yin Yang family's special skills, and cooperates with the power of the dragon veins, the eight-meridian god-conferring curse seal on my body might be able to be unlocked..."

Let's say that Wu Song went to retreat to study "The True Interpretation of Guiguzi", but Yang Jian received one million guan from Emperor Huizong's treasury, saying as an excuse: "Master Wu is in urgent need of a lot of money to refine the elixir of immortality for your majesty. May your Majesty live forever.”

Emperor Huizong was overjoyed, but fearing that the money was not enough, he gave him another million dollars. However, Yang Jian gave the money to the Zhang family brothers, Mrs. Shi Xi and others, and purchased the materials needed for weapon refining on a large scale, and continuously transported all kinds of rare and rare treasures from all over the country back to Tianji Pavilion. He also posted notices in counties and counties across the country to recruit magicians, and put many names written by Wu Song on the notices.

There is a wealthy family in Daming Prefecture, Hebei Province, with the surname Lu. The owner of this generation is called Lu Junyi, and he has a companion named Yan Qing. He grew up with Lu Junyi. When he was young, a picture of a swallow appeared behind his back for no reason, and there was a poem beside it: "The ancient tunes of Yizhou can be sung with the sound of lingering beams!" Lu Junyi laughed at his natural squeamishness and often took off his shirt to show off his unicorn picture.

——The unicorn is running in Jiugao, and the bears are swarming and escaping.

Yan Qing was angry and asked an embroidery master to tattoo a pattern of flowers all over his body to cover up the swallow picture. But he said that Yan Qing was proficient in slang from all over the world, had a sophisticated way of dealing with people, was gifted with oral skills, could learn whatever he wanted, and was good at playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and song. When Zhou Tong was a guest at Lu's house, he also taught him sumo wrestling skills, and before leaving, he quietly gave him a copy of "Dutian Baozhao Sutra".

On this day, Yan Qing came back from the street and hurriedly found Lu Junyi and said, "It's a big deal. The court has posted a notice asking us to come to Beijing to serve as officials!"

Lu Junyi smiled and said: "Xiao Yi is confused, what's wrong with being an official?"

Yan Qing also laughed and said: "You don't know who asked us to be officials. Just say this. I won't scare you to death when I say it! That man's surname is Wu Mingsong. He turns out to be a good man with many military exploits. I don't know why he does it." Become a warlock and become the master of Tianji Pavilion.

But in recent months, Wu Song ordered the imperial cavalry to search for treasures from the people. If they were willing to sell them, they would buy them at low prices. If they were not willing to sell them, they would snatch them away. Many people were bankrupted by him, so everyone in the government and the public secretly called him a "martial thief", which was three points worse than the reputations of Yang Jian, Tong Guantong, Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing and Cai! "

Lu Junyi only focused on practicing martial arts these days and turned a deaf ear to the world's affairs. He was surprised and said: "I have heard of Wu Song's reputation. He defeated the Xixia cavalry and killed the three kingdoms' masters. How come he is corrupt now?"

"It's an iron rule that men turn bad as soon as they have power and money." Yan Qing said: "Since the death of Queen Mother Xiang and Mr. Fan Chunren, the Zhao family has become dull and promoted Cai Jing and Gao Qiu. These two people and the eunuch Liang Shicheng , in order to flatter the officials, he went around collecting flowers and stones, and transported tens of thousands of pounds of broken stones to the capital, which made the people angry and resentful.

Another eunuch, Yang Jian, paid tribute to Zhao Guan's family with some elixir of life and let the officials take it. They had no pleasure with their daughters every night and had no intention of going to court early in the morning. Cai Jing took the opportunity to control the government, favored nepotism, and drove out those who opposed him. The government's policy had long been broken. "

Lu Junyi was silent and said, "Then I won't go."

Yan Qing said: "Others don't have to go to the capital, but you can't. Mr. Lu has beaten all the invincible fighters in the world with a spear and a stick. Who doesn't know your name? What if you were arranged by that warrior thief? If you are guilty, you will not be able to return home."

"Are there such evil people?" Lu Junyi picked up a mixed-iron gun and said, "If I can't escape, I will simply go to the capital and take advantage of the bandit's unpreparedness to secretly stab him to death and eliminate harm for the people!" Yan Qing After clapping their hands and saying good things, the two of them packed up their luggage and ordered the housekeeper Li Gu to look after the house. They informed the Tiqi, who immediately sent people and horses to escort them into the capital.

Halfway through, several more Tiqi joined the team with a Taoist priest in their arms. Seeing that the Taoist priest looked extraordinary, Lu Junyi hurriedly said: "May I ask your name, sir?" The Taoist priest hurriedly returned the greeting: "Jizhou Gongsun Sheng, Taoist priest. Taoist No. Qing, may I ask who these two heroes are?"

Lu Junyi and Yan Qing reported their names. Yan Qing asked: "How come you were invited by these people, sir?" Gongsun Sheng said: "I have just begun to achieve some success in Taoism. I went down the mountain under the orders of my master. I originally wanted to visit my mother. But I came here after seeing the notice from the government.”

When a group of people passed through Shandong, there were many Tiqi to protect one person who joined the team. However, the man was short, a few points shorter than Wu Dalang. He had a mustache at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were darting around, with a sinister look on his face. He was not honest right away. He jumped up and stood on the horse's head, got under the horse's belly, and hung on the horse's tail. He never stopped.

Lu Junyi, Yan Qing and Gongsun Sheng saw that this man was strange and strange, so they didn't dare to neglect him and quickly asked him his name. The man smiled and said: "My younger brother Shi Qian used to make a living by digging graves, robbing tombs, and stealing chickens and dogs. I heard that my aunt met a noble man in the capital and became rich, so I went to join him!"

After hearing this, the three of them all despised him. Shi Qian didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Master Wu is now enlightened, and our Shi Yao Sect has its day. In the past, when I saw officials like you, I didn't dare to breathe. For a moment, now I dare to laugh badly. Hahahaha..."

The three of them turned their heads and ignored him. The team moved forward for another ten miles, and Gongsun Sheng saw dozens of soldiers carrying burdens on their way. It turned out that Cai Jing's son-in-law Liang Zhongshu sent someone to deliver birthday instructions to his father-in-law. Gongsun Sheng's eyes flashed and he lowered his head.

That night, Gongsun Sheng disappeared and went to nowhere. Lu Junyi and others could not find him, so they had to continue on their way. But it was said that Gongsun Sheng's departure was no small matter. The curtain of a vigorous Liangshan event was finally opened!
