Ragnarok is born

Could it be that in the heart of the other party, the Son of Heaven would be so unbearable?

Is this the true teaching of Taoism?

Such an arrogant attitude is even more rude and defiant than that of Longhushan Zhang Jixian back then.

Xu Zhichang thought of the conversation with Lin Lingsu just now, and thought that the other party was approachable and a good friend worth making friends with.

Who knows that the real face is revealed in the blink of an eye?

Staring blankly at the calm Lin Lingsu, Xu Zhichang suddenly thought absurdly of those ministers in the court.

Xu Zhichang felt that the Taoist's refusal gesture in front of him was similar to those ministers who talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality.

Just like this, how should I report to the emperor?

Do you want to tell Zhao Ji realistically, Your Majesty, that Yongjia Lin Lingsu said that he would come to the palace to meet you after meeting with his mount?

I don't know, after hearing such words, will the emperor drive himself out of the palace in a fit of anger?

Xu Zhichang was furious.

Although I don't know if Lin Lingsu wants to put on airs in front of the emperor, but Lin Lingsu's gesture is obviously to amuse himself deliberately.

Doesn't he know his embarrassment?

Xu Zhichang's face was gloomy, and he said in a low tone, "Brother Dao is really unwilling to enter the palace with Pindao?"

A mysterious smile flashed across Lin Lingsu's face.

He looked at Xu Zhichang with a smile, and said with a sly stick, "As long as the Taoist brother narrates what the poor Taoist said to the emperor."

"Naturally, the Son of Heaven will know the true meaning of what Pindao said, and he won't have any intention of blaming Brother Dao."

After saying this, Lin Lingsu kept silent, and stretched out his hand to make a move, while Chao Gai, who was a little dizzy, was beside him.

Then turn around and re-enter the room.

With his majestic body, Chao Gai stood in front of the door like a door god, looking at Xu Zhichang indignantly.

Xu Zhichang was full of hesitation.

Lin Lingsu's excuse did not dispel Xu Zhichang's doubts.

Obviously, things turned out like this, not what Xu Zhichang wanted.

He didn't know, if he told the emperor what Lin Lingsu said truthfully, what kind of consequences would he incur?

But Lin Lingsu had already walked back into the room, obviously unwilling to cooperate, which immediately gave Xu Zhichang a headache.

Xu Zhichang failed to invite Lin Lingsu in the end, so he had to return angrily, and returned to the palace to report to the emperor Zhao Ji.

Lin Lingsu's lack of cooperation made Xu Zhichang helpless.

Although he has acquired strange skills, Lin Lingsu is not only a true master of the Taoist sect, and his mana is far superior to him, but also Chao Gai, who follows him, is also obviously a powerful Taoist protector, extremely powerful.

Without Lin Lingsu's action, with Chao Gai alone, even if Xu Zhichang used all his skills, he might not be able to get half of the benefits.

After returning to the palace, after reporting, under the leadership of the servants, he met the emperor who was playing in Yanfu Palace at this time.

Yanfu Palace is located outside the Da Nei Gongchen Gate in Bianliang City, Tokyo. It is a new building that has just been expanded in the first year of Chongning (AD 1102).

Yanfu Palace is a relatively independent palace area. Outside the palace city, it is a place for the emperor and empresses to play. The initial scale was not large.

After Song Huizong Zhao Ji came to the throne, he was dissatisfied with the narrowness of the palace, so he wanted to expand and build it for his own enjoyment.

Under Zhao Ji's order, Cai Jing summoned five eunuchs including Tong Guan, Yang Jian, Jia Xiang, He Fu, and Lan Congxi to supervise the construction of five palaces in order to flatter the emperor.

These five servants are all private slaves of the Tian family. Under Cai Jing's beckoning, you compete for novelty, I compete for ingenuity, and they pursue luxury, regardless of wages or money.

The pools are dug into the sea, and the springs are drawn into the lake; the pavilions and pavilions are endless;

After the expansion of Yanfu Palace, it was elegant and comfortable. Song Huizong was overjoyed when he saw it, and spent most of his time in this palace.

At this time, the emperor was taking Zhao Fujin's biological mother Liu Guifei for a walk in Yanfu Palace to relieve Liu Guifei's emotions.

Concubine Liu Gui was already eight months pregnant at this time, and she was most favored by Zhao Ji.

In addition, a few days ago, when Zhao Ji was staying in Concubine Liu's palace, Yemeng had been very excited about the experience of participating in the "Shenxiao Mansion Immortal Banquet". He wanted to continue the journey, so he found an excuse to accompany him Beside Concubine Liu Gui.

All the ministers of the imperial court, as well as Empress Zheng and all the concubines in the harem, did not become suspicious. Instead, they felt that the emperor was suspected of pampering Concubine Zheng too much.

After dreaming that day, Zhao Ji dispatched agents from the Imperial City Department to investigate in various places in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and finally found traces of Lin Lingsu.

After learning the news that Lin Lingsu was placing an order in the West Taiyi Palace, Zhao Ji sent Xu Zhichang to invite Lin Lingsu into the palace.

Yanfu Palace has many platforms, pavilions and pavilions. The east gate of the palace is called Chenhui, and the west gate is called Lize; the main hall has Yanfu and Ruizhu, which is the origin of the name of the palace.

There are many halls in the east including Yiqing, Huining, Chengping, Ruimo, Ninghe, Kunyu and Qunyu. In the north of Huining hall, there is a hill made of stones. There is a hall and two pavilions built on the mountain. It is called Cuiwei Hall, Yungui Pavilion, and Layer Pavilion.

Concubine Liu Gui, with her round pregnant belly, was supported by the maid, and beside her was Zhao Fujin with a cute face.

Standing in the Yungui Pavilion, Zhao Ji looked down, and all he could see were rare flowers and rare trees, competing for splendor, colorful and pleasing to the eye.

However, Zhao Ji's mind was not on admiring the scenery at all, but anxiously waiting for the news that Xu Zhichang would bring back.

Among the flowers below, Xu Zhichang walked through the courtyard under the leadership of the servant, suddenly his heart moved, he raised his head just in time to see Zhao Ji's sight, and secretly complained.

When he came to Zhao Ji, Xu Zhichang had no choice but to tell Zhao Ji all about his meeting with Lin Lingsu.

Zhao Ji's eyes were gloomy, and after listening to Xu Zhichang's narration, there was no sign of anger, but a thoughtful expression appeared in his eyes.

When Xu Zhichang was secretly surprised, he suddenly heard Zhao Ji asking in a deep voice, "Did Lin Xian's family really tell Dr. Chongxu that he would not come to the palace to meet me until his horse came to Bianliang City?" ?”

Xu Zhichang nodded yes, and said puzzled, "Looking at Lin Lingsu's appearance, the poor seem to be reluctant to enter the palace..."

Zhao Ji shook his head in disbelief, reached out his hand to stop Xu Zhichang from speaking, and said with a slight smile, "I am looking forward to seeing the mount of Lin Xian's family."

He remembered seeing Lin Lingsu riding on the green bull when he was in the "Sleepwalking in the Fairy Banquet of Shenxiao Mansion", and suddenly said to Xu Zhichang in surprise, "Xu Qing's family is very knowledgeable and well-informed. What does it look like as a cow?"

"Green cow?" Xu Zhichang was confused, and asked in confusion, "What is the vision of the green cow that His Majesty said?"

Xu Zhichang didn't dare to answer Zhao Ji's question, for fear that his hasty answer would reveal his secrets in front of the emperor.

So he hesitated and asked back.

Zhao Ji pointed at Xu Zhichang, showing an overjoyed look, teasing, "Isn't it a Taoist allusion that the Taishang Laojun rode a green bull to the west to go out of Hangu Pass?"

Taoism respects the "Three Purities", namely Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun.

Among them, the full name of Daodetianzun is "Taiqing Daodetianzun", also known as "Taishang Laojun".

According to legend, Daode Tianzun once descended to the world in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, incarnated as Lao Tzu, and was the head of all schools of thought.

When he left Hangu Pass westward on a green bull, because of the request of Guan Ling Yinxi, the "Tao Te Ching" left behind was profound and inclusive, and was known as the king of all classics.

On the basis of the "Tao Te Ching", not only the Huang-Lao theory of governing the country was born, but also the far-reaching Taoism.

As a Taoist, Xu Zhichang naturally knows the glorious deeds of the patriarch, even though he is a sect.

Hearing Zhao Ji's teasing, Xu Zhichang's face turned red, and he said, "The blue cow is a god, and the fortune of the poor is shallow, so I haven't seen it."

Zhao Ji nodded.

Xu Zhichang admitted his insufficiency and did not make Zhao Ji feel dissatisfied. On the contrary, he was satisfied with Xu Zhichang's reluctance to lie to himself.

To Zhao Ji, it doesn't really matter whether a person is capable or not, what matters is whether he is loyal or not.

This is the heart disease of all emperors throughout the ages.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Ji's mouth, and he said to Xu Zhichang, "Since Lin Xian's family wants to wait until the mount arrives, they are willing to enter the palace."

"I am not a mean person, and I have an adult and beautiful heart, so I will wait for a while to see the demeanor of Lin Xian's family."

Xu Zhichang was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Zhao Ji's demeanor of a courteous corporal can be called the demeanor of an emperor, but it's a pity that the target is an outsider.

Xu Zhichang remembered that he had received the emperor's edict, so he hurried to Beijing from Jianyang, Fujian, and waited eagerly for the emperor's summons.

In contrast, the status of myself and Lin Lingsu in the eyes of the emperor is simply worlds apart.

Xu Zhichang's eyes turned red suddenly, how could this Lin Lingsu be able to receive such preferential treatment from the emperor?

Not only did the emperor not blame him, Lin Lingsu did not immediately enter the palace to see the emperor after receiving the edict.

Moreover, he personally found excuses for Lin Lingsu, allowed Lin Lingsu to be negligent, and even made fun of himself.

Lin Lingsu's treatment made Xu Zhichang jealous.

He thought of his meeting with Lin Lingsu in the West Taiyi Palace. The strength of the other party and the formidable Taoist guardian were far less shocking than the emperor's attitude towards Lin Lingsu now.

Xu Zhichang's mind turned, and he recalled bit by bit, himself, Lin Lingsu, and the emperor's attitude towards Lin Lingsu.

Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind.

Whether it's Lin Lingsu or the emperor Zhao Ji, they seem to have a tacit understanding beyond the imagination of others, which makes me feel incredible.

The most tacit understanding between Tianzi and Lin Lingsu lies in the mount that Lin Lingsu said has not yet arrived.

When he was in Xitaiyi Palace earlier, Xu Zhichang thought that Lin Lingsu was full of nonsense, so he just made up an excuse.

But the Son of Heaven, who had never met Lin Lingsu, actually agreed to Lin Lingsu's excuse, which is what makes people puzzling.

Green Bull!

Green Bull!

Xu Zhi often recalled what he knew about the "green cow".

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a mythical beast named Si, which was shaped like a cow, with a dark body and horns on its head.

Every time the world prospers, it emerges in this world.

In addition, Qingniu, together with Qingyang and Wuji, are regarded as the three evil gods. "Where these three are at the door, newcomers are not allowed to enter."

In the "Taiping Yulan" compiled during the Taiping Xingguo period, Qingniu is considered to be a cow that has been transformed from a thousand-year-old wood essence. ox."

Combined with Zhao Ji's question just now, Xu Zhichang had an incredible thought flash in his mind. Could it be that Lin Lingsu's so-called mount is the legendary green bull?

How can this be?

Since the great change of heaven's secrets, not only the gods and gods have escaped from the world, but it is difficult to descend to the world, and even many gods and beasts have disappeared together.

How could a divine beast like Qingniu become the mount of the unknown Taoist Lin Lingsu at this time?

This is the divine beast that only the Daotian Zun is qualified to ride on.

Xu Zhichang only felt jealous.

He suddenly felt that his face was burning hot, and he had extremely doubts about Lin Lingsu's identity.

But as soon as he thought that the other party was able to drive the legendary green bull into a mount, all the jealousy suddenly disappeared.

This is a big man who cannot be offended.

Not only the attitude of the emperor, Lin Lingsu's own strength is equally astonishing, coupled with his identity as a true disciple of Taoism, Xu Zhichang needs to look up to him.

Xu Zhichang sensed Zhao Ji's gaze on him, doubts appeared in his eyes, and he pretended to be stunned and asked, "Your Majesty, could it be that you just said that Brother Lin's mount is the so-called Qingniu?"

Zhao Ji smiled without answering, with an inscrutable look.

Zhao Fujin on the side curled his lips in disdain.

What the hell blue cow?

If it wasn't for this Tianzun helping Lin Lingsu, if he cheated, how could he get Qingniu or not?

Xu Zhichang didn't notice Zhao Fujin's disdain at all, but was shocked by Zhao Ji's answer.

His thoughts turned, he put on a smile, and congratulated Zhao Ji, "The Holy Son of Heaven is in power, and there will be auspicious signs to celebrate Shengming."

"Poverty should congratulate His Majesty."

Zhao Ji laughed out loud.

Yu Dafengheng, the world is peaceful, rich and prosperous, and the scene of peace and happiness, so the immortal Lin Lingsu came down to celebrate my prosperous age.

He looked at the splendor and prosperity of the flowers at the foot of the mountain, just like this thriving and prosperous world, and felt satisfied for a moment.

Lin Lingsu ignored Xu Zhichang's eager and anxious look, turned around and left, looking really chic.
