His Majesty once married me

After being threatened by Ouyang, Shen Zhenren finally told the truth.

Just as Ouyang guessed, Master Shen was invited by Qi Yunheng to Yongtai Palace to check if there was anything wrong with it. As a result, although Master Shen did not find anything in that compartment that could no longer be called a secret room—even if it was there What happened in the past must have passed the time limit that can be detected by magic, but it was discovered that the enchantment circle outside Yongtai Palace had been tampered with, and the part that suppressed the soul and warded off evil spirits was erased, and replaced it with gathering souls and cultivating souls. Effect.

Judging from the traces left after its modification, this incident happened at least 80 years ago, and it is by no means a recent occurrence.From this point alone, it can be inferred that there may have been an old ghost in Yongtai Palace, and the former Zen master stationed in the palace must have an inescapable responsibility for this incident, and it is even very likely that it was the instigator. .

Ouyang immediately asked: "Is there a separate enchantment circle in each palace?"

"Also... not every palace has them, but such important palaces as Yongtai, Taihua, Ci'an, Fengqi... all must be laid out... at least... this is the usual practice." The more Shen Zhen said, the more his voice became louder. Small.

"But you just found out that the magic circle of Yongtai Palace has been tampered with?" Ouyang gritted his teeth and said, "That is to say, before His Majesty the Emperor invited you to investigate Yongtai Palace, you never went to these palaces to check one by one?! "

"I... I have proofread all the magic circles around the palace." Shen Zhenren knew he was wrong, but he was a little wronged, and couldn't help explaining, "The Zen masters who were stationed in the palace before didn't care about the enchantment here at all. The formation has been maintained, and various degrees of wear and tear have occurred in many places. Even several pieces of spirit stones placed at the core of the formation have disappeared. The Zen sect has been corrupted... I repaired the outer part of the magic circle, and the materials I brought over have been exhausted, so I don't have the energy to care about the inside of the palace..."

"Don't you ask for it? Is the mouth under your nose painted on?!" Ouyang asked back like a cannonball, "Even if you don't know what you should do and how to do it, can your sect Didn't tell you, didn't give you pointers?!"

"I..." Shen Zhenren hesitated to speak.

Seeing his appearance, Ouyang's heart moved, and he stared and asked: "You don't only think about inheriting the mechanism skills of your own school, but you don't think about doing things for Daozong?!"

"... In the first five years, there was no need to do anything for the sect." Shen Zhenren opened his mouth, and finally spoke out.

"What about five years later?!" Ouyang became more and more angry.

Protecting the emperor is not an obligation for a cultivator to dedicate, they also want to seek benefits!

However, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the emperor's power was not strong enough, and the net in his hands had not yet covered the whole country. Of course, the cultivators could not rush to kill the chicken to get the eggs.When the power of the new emperor takes root in the vast land, the sect to which the cultivators belong will use the power of the emperor to go to the people to collect natural materials and treasures, and seek benefits for the cultivators in their sect.

As for whether the emperor is willing to contribute to them, it has never been something that the cultivator's sect needs to worry about.

They will always have various ways and means to make the mortal emperors willingly present treasures to them, such as a key divination, such as a life-saving pill, such as extra protection for a certain heir...

As far as Ouyang knows, even if he encounters an emperor who is as smelly and hard as a stone in a latrine and refuses to serve the cultivator, the cultivator will not take any strong measures to force the emperor to submit, especially Daozong—— ——If you don’t give us benefits, we won’t do anything for you. If you pay for something, who has so much free time to deal with you!

Ouyang didn't take this matter to heart at first. Anyway, those so-called treasures of heaven and earth are hard to come by, and they are useless to ordinary people like Qi Yunheng, even if they can't find them or even look for them, Every year, you can also use a few pieces of good jade and some beautiful things made by skilled craftsmen to cope with the past.

Nowadays, what these cultivators can do is very limited, and it is enough for everyone to maintain a peaceful exchange of face.

But today, after listening to what Shen Zhenren said, Ouyang suddenly realized——

This guy never told Qi Yunheng about these things!

No matter how much Daozong advocated "inaction" and "hanging arch", it is impossible to sit idly by and ignore the disappearance of the things in his bowl.Once it is found that the benefits that are due have not been obtained, it is inevitable to send some people to investigate the cause of the matter.

At that time, Shen Zhenren will certainly have some troubles, but the most troublesome one will still be Ouyang!

Thinking of this, Ouyang became furious, and even wanted to kill someone.

Shen Zhenren couldn't justify himself, he mumbled the words "five years later" several times and then lost his voice.

Ouyang couldn't help sneering, "Do you think that five years is enough time for you to spread the mechanism technique to the outside world, and then you can let go, leave the emperor and Daozong aside, and let them fight each other?!"

Shen Zhenren still couldn't refute, because that's what he planned.

At this moment, he was secretly muttering in his heart: what's wrong with this, he has left such great benefits to the world, saved the emperor from meaningless offerings, left a little tail called trouble, and What can be counted?

Seeing the expression of Shen Zhenren, Ouyang really wanted to chop this guy to death with a hand knife!

—Calm down, be sure to calm down!

——You can’t have the same knowledge as this kind of idiot!

Ouyang adjusted his breathing vigorously, tried to calm down his emotions, and then ordered unceremoniously: "Tomorrow, you will tell the emperor about Yongtai Palace, and by the way, all the enchantment circles in those palaces need Tell him about the repairs and maintenance, and ask him to prepare the things, people, or other things you need! Then, tell him clearly about the offerings that Daozong needs him to start paying in five years! Accept it or not It is his business to accept it, but it is your responsibility to say it or not!"

Speaking of this, Ouyang raised his tone and his voice became sharper, "Do you really think that you only need to stay in the palace for four or five years to regain your freedom? Stop dreaming! In five years, you won't even have a single apprentice I want to be able to teach you! Think about how long it took your master to teach you to become a teacher!"

Shen Zhenren was scolded and scolded by Ouyang. Although he was still not clear-headed, he more or less realized that what he did was really wrong. It was too taken for granted and too irresponsible.At the same time, Shen Zhenren was also secretly rejoicing: Fortunately, he didn't say the threat, otherwise, he would really have to find a crack in the ground to get in now!How embarrassing!

With a guilty conscience, shame, and some small thoughts that cannot be expressed, Master Shen has nothing to do with Ouyang's words and obeys them.

Shen Zhenren's attitude is so correct, Ouyang was so angry that he could only let the matter go for a while after finishing what he had to say, and asked Shen Zhenren if he would make a humanoid puppet that could be faked.

This is the idea that Ouyang came up with on the road.

As for Shen Zhenren's unreliable performance, God knows how long he can stay in the capital. If he doesn't use up his value while he can still use it, I'm afraid he won't know where to go if he wants to find someone in the future. Where did I find it.

Besides, Ouyang has been a bit lacking in skills recently, Qi Yunheng "watched" him too closely, and he didn't have many excuses to find, so it's better to get a substitute so that he can escape from the eyes of the eyeliners.

When he thought that he needed a puppet that could be a real substitute, and the ugly cow just needed a puppet in human form, Ouyang had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea——

That being the case, why not combine the two into one and kill two birds with one stone?

Therefore, Ouyang had a reason to ask the puppet from Shen Zhenren, and there was no need to expose the existence of the ugly cow.

Shen Zhenren was eager to have a reason to get close to Ouyang. When he heard that he seemed to want something from him, his eyes lit up immediately, and he didn't say whether he could do it. He asked directly: "Friend Ouyang has other requirements for this puppet ?”

"Being able to run, jump and walk, the more like a real person, the better." Ouyang said, "If you can be just like me, that would be the best."

——A humanoid puppet just like Fellow Daoist Ou?

Shen Zhenren subconsciously conceived it in his mind for a while, and felt a little thumping for no reason, so he quickly collected himself and asked Ouyang about the details of this puppet.

Ouyang didn't know anything about organ techniques, so how could he know what kind of request to make, let alone let Shen Zhenren find out that he had premeditated this matter, so he simply said: "If fellow Taoists can do it, then just do the best one." ! What materials are needed, give me a list, and I will provide them!"

"the best……"

Shen Zhenren obviously took this sentence seriously, and said it to himself several times, then quickly stood up, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a list of materials for Ouyang.

After finishing writing, Shen Zhenren turned around and handed the list to Ouyang, "Daoist friends, please take a look, I wonder if you can find these things... together?"

Ouyang took a look, and the corner of his mouth twitched suddenly.

Shen Zhenren was really not polite to him at all.He said he wanted the best, and Master Shen really planned it for him according to the best standards. None of the materials he chose were common goods that can be seen everywhere, and his eyes were full of mithril, fine gold, meteorite, thunder wood, Luan glue, moon silk, fish beads...anything can make today's cultivators jealous and even desperate.

Shen Zhenren also knew that the list he made was a bit of a big mouth, and it was difficult for others. Seeing Ouyang's face was cold and silent for a long time, he hurriedly explained carefully: "It doesn't have to be according to the list, there are a lot of materials. They can all be replaced, but the appearance and performance will be worse..."

"I'll look for it first." Ouyang interrupted.

Although the things on the list are a bit scary, even Ouyang, who has been devoting himself to searching around, has never heard of some of them.But Ouyang originally didn't intend to spend his own money to make this organ puppet for Ugly Niu. Naturally, he doesn't need to worry about what kind of materials are used.

——Take it back and let the ugly cow take a look before we talk!

——I don't know how many private houses he has hidden, whether it is enough to be this puppet.

Ouyang put away the list, raised his head and said to Shen Zhenren: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Shen, no matter whether you can gather these materials or not, and no matter what this puppet can look like in the end, I will not let Fellow Daoist Shen work in vain—what are your requirements, Fellow Daoist Just say it."

Shen Zhenren was overjoyed, but before he could open his mouth, Ouyang changed his voice and continued: "It's just that, everything in this world must be sorted into pieces, and they should be clearly divided. Even if I have something to ask for Fellow Daoist, it is impossible to allow Fellow Daoist to do whatever he wants. What's more, my temper is really not good, if Fellow Daoist is too overstepping, I can't bear it-then Fellow Daoist, don't blame me for being ruthless and embarrassing Fellow Daoist!"
