Astral Apostle Chapter 176: Go to dinner

The evening of the second day. On the bank of Yulin River, Cuiyu Tower.

Two soft sedan chairs passed through the bustling street full of pedestrians, and stopped in front of the restaurant, with Zhou Jing and Ye Shunzhong sitting on them respectively.

The two got out of the sedan chair, and the prefect's personal attendants who were waiting at the door immediately greeted them.

"Mr. Ye, the magistrate is already waiting in the private room on the third floor. Is this the Daoist Lingfengzi?"

The entourage was polite at first, and then looked at Zhou Jing curiously, sizing him up secretly.

Ye Shunzhong nodded, and bowed his hands politely: "The two of us are invited by the magistrate to come to the banquet, please lead the way."

Hearing this, this personal attendant suppressed his thoughts, led the way ahead, and led the two of them upstairs respectfully.

Ye Shunzhong lowered his voice to Zhou Jing while climbing the stairs:

" Mr. Zhao has been the magistrate of Ningtian Mansion for many years. This time, he specially invited various dignitaries from Ningtian Mansion to accompany him. They must want to get to know such an expert as Taoist Priest.

Zhou Jing nodded, but he didn't think so in his heart. Ye Shunzhong was convinced from the bottom of his heart because he had demonstrated his supernatural powers in front of the Ye family. Seeing and experiencing, it is unlikely to be convinced

In his opinion, besides getting to know him better, this group of high-ranking officials and dignitaries most likely have the idea of ​​debunking him and letting him "reveal his true colors". For the sake of the father-in-law, we will not be too pushy.

Today, only by keeping these dignitaries in check, can we really gain a firm foothold in Ningtian Mansion and become famous?

Zhou Jing secretly planned.

The two of them quickly came to the third floor and were escorted into the private room, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the private room.

The people present here are all the dignitaries of Ningtian Mansion, and their eyes immediately focused on Zhou Jing, with curiosity and scrutiny

Accidents and other meanings, I just feel that this Lingfengzi is far from the imaginary appearance of the immortal, not only weird, but even a little fat.

"Master Zhao." Ye Shunzhong hurriedly stepped forward to salute the plain robed man in the main seat.

This plain robed man is Zhao Xing'an, the magistrate of Ningtian. At this time, he was not wearing an official uniform, and he smiled and expressed condolences to Ye Shunzhong:

"" I heard that Grandpa Ye has recovered from a long illness, I haven't congratulated him yet, when Grandpa Ye recovers, I will invite him to drink and talk to each other someday. "

Then, Zhao Xing'an turned his head to look at Zhou Jing who was at the side, smiled and cupped his hands:

" is the poor way.

Zhou Jing didn't bow, but bowed his hands. Now he has changed his attire. He wears a Taoist crown and cloud shoes.

"In the past few days, Daoist Master's name has been like a thunderbolt, and seeing him today is really extraordinary, Daoist Master and Brother Ye, please sit down quickly."

Zhao Xing'an smiled and ushered the two of them to the table, which was quite polite.

No matter what thoughts were in everyone's mind, they were not in a hurry, and they all bowed their hands and introduced themselves, which family this one came from and which clan that one came from, so it was easy to know.

When all the people arrived, Zhao Xing'an ordered the restaurant to serve all kinds of exquisite dishes, which were delicious in color, fragrance and taste.

The chef of this Cuiyu Building is one of the best chefs in Ningtian Mansion. His skills are excellent. I don't know if it suits the Taoist priest's taste.

Zhao Xing'an nodded towards Zhou Jing in the banquet, with an easy-going tone.

"The people of the poor and the mountains are used to eating the wind and drinking the dew, so there is nothing special about it."

Zhou Jing responded casually.

"It seems that the Taoist priest is an indifferent person." Zhao Xing'an smiled, then looked out of the window, looking for a topic to talk about. This Yulin Riverside is a prosperous and prosperous scene in the world. Looking down from here, it has a special flavor, I don't know How do you feel?

Zhou Jing followed suit, and seeing the floating boat outside the window like a cloud of tourists, he nodded and echoed:

"It's really good, the prosperity of Ning Tianfu is rare in the world.

Zhao Xing'an retracted his gaze and asked with a smile: "Is this the first time the Taoist priest has come to our Ningtian Mansion? I don't know where the priest is from, how is his family, and where did he practice before?"

These words sound like a leader questioning what your parents are doing.

Zhou Jing looked back and found that everyone present was staring at him, so he said unhurriedly:

"The poor way of wandering in the clouds and the wild cranes take heaven and earth as their home. It doesn't matter where they come from in the world of mortals. Only the place where they go freely and freely in the future will be what the poor way thinks about. The way to practice is in your own heart. No need to look elsewhere."

Hearing the words, Ye Shunzhong also joined in the conversation, and said with a smile; I first met the Taoist priest a few days ago, and I also asked about it, and the Taoist priest answered the same way, and the Taoism is not in the temple, but between the mountains and the wild, there is no need to pretend Foreign things, these words of enzymatic empowerment made me feel a lot. "

The dignitaries present and the children of aristocratic families moved slightly in their hearts and smacked them carefully, only to feel that these words had some meaning, and they really seemed to be someone who has learned the truth.

"So, the Taoist priest is going to write a book and establish a sect?" A child of an aristocratic family raised his eyebrows, his tone a little joking.

"As long as you have the heart to seek the way, everyone can start a sect.

Zhou Jing pretended not to hear the other party's sarcasm, and laughed.

Another family member couldn't help saying: "Master Lingfengzi, you speak so profoundly that no one understands it.

"So what if you understand it, so what if you don't understand it? All kinds of floating things are mostly illusory. .

Zhou Jing's speech was clouded and misty, pretending, it doesn't matter, the important thing is to grasp the feeling of being a master.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, thinking that Zhou Jing was playing tricks, but at the same time, they felt that these words could make a little sense. For a moment, they didn't know whether this person was talking nonsense, or if he really had something.

If it is really a charlatan, then the professional level of the scammer is really quite high now.

The dignitaries present had preconceived ideas, and they thought Zhou Jing was bluffing and deceitful early on. Although Zhou Jing recently rescued Ye Taigong, the deeds of walking across the river at the beginning were still too unimaginable. The dignitaries present still felt that Zhou Jing used some kind of trick at that time, so they inherently distrusted Zhou Jing and were in a state of half-belief.

Just because of the matter of the grandfather of the Ye family, the impression of these aristocratic dignitaries on Zhou Jing has changed from a "charlatan" at the beginning to a "charlatan" with outstanding medical skills-if this Taoist is just a doctor, then they are not. It will make things difficult for him, but this person wants to pretend to have supernatural powers in order to make a name for himself, so everyone can't help but want to expose this person's "deception".

" What the Taoist priest said is really subtle. How about a toast for these small words and righteousness.

Zhao Xing'an didn't stand in a daze, he said this, and raised his glass with a smile to enhance the atmosphere of the banquet.

Everyone came back to their senses, smiled and clinked glasses, toasted each other, and sipped slowly.

" I heard that the Taoist master is proficient in alchemy, and he cured Ye Taigong based on this, but the alchemy technique is not well received among the people. I don't know what is the mystery of Chang's alchemy technique. Solve my doubts for me."

Hearing this, everyone put down their wine glasses, stopped chatting and pricked up their ears.

Zhou Jing smiled when he saw this, and asked back: "I wonder what Mr. Zhao thinks about alchemy?"

Zhao Xing'an was startled, but then he replied: "I have also read some Taoist classics. According to the way of alchemy, it is divided into inner alchemy and outer alchemy. The inner alchemy method seems to use the human body as a furnace,

Live forever. The outer alchemy method is to burn gold and stones, refine them into elixir, and ascend to immortality after taking it."

Zhou Jing nodded after listening;

" Mr. Zhao is well-informed and well-informed. The inner alchemy method does not go away, and the outer alchemy method is the most controversial. It is unbelievable for ordinary people to burn alchemy gold and stones. After eating this so-called elixir, not only can't Prolonging life may lead to an early death, so people in the world have doubts about the way of alchemy.

Seeing that Zhou Jing is such a bachelor and admits that there is a problem with alchemy, everyone is a little surprised, and they don't hide it, they all nodded,

But at this time, Zhou Jing changed the subject and said slowly:

" However, according to Pingdao, there are also two refining methods for outer alchemy. One is to burn gold and stones to make alchemy, but the correct usage is not to eat, but to transform different minerals through smelting It is more appropriate to call it alchemy.

"The second external alchemy method is to combine medical skills and medicines, take sesame and eat grass, and make elixir. This is the alchemy that is really beneficial to the human body. This is what Pindao is good at. The elixir produced can replenish qi and strengthen the body, treat hidden diseases, slow down aging, keep youth forever, and even surpass the sky and prolong life.

He deliberately explained this way, just to brag about himself, and the point is to show that his alchemy can prolong his life. Only with this excuse can he be truly honored as a guest by dignitaries.

The powerful and powerful, who doesn't want to live longer and enjoy more time in this world? This method can be said to hit the pain points of the industry and grasp the needs of customers. At this moment, countless demons possessed in history. He is not fighting alone.

As the voice fell, the bodies of all the people present shook violently, and all the attention points were indeed on the "elixir to prolong life";

" The Taoist is serious? Is there such a trick? Zhao Xing'an couldn't help asking.

"Poverty never speaks in vain."

Zhou Jing didn't change his face, he opened his eyes and talked nonsense. 1 Zhao Xing'an's eyes flickered, but he remained calm, and just smiled; "Hehe, the Taoist priest is really a master in the world.

Although the pancake was very beautiful, everyone present was skeptical and did not fully believe it. Some even believed that Zhou Jing was fooling people.

There are many Taoists who claim to be able to refine the elixir of life in history, and this Lingfengzi is not bad. The so-called deception, they will not be easily fooled, not to mention their preconceptions do not trust Zhou Jing very much.

At this time, a young man named Liu Ping finally couldn't bear Zhou Jing's pretentiousness, and suddenly spoke with a slightly joking tone:

I have heard that the Daoist Lingfengzi stepped into Ningtian. I did not see it with my own eyes, and I am deeply regretful. It happens that we are at the bank of the Yulin River, so why don't the Daoist priest show us right away?"

Hearing this, everyone started to watch the fun. Their initial plan was to expose Zhou Jing and watch the bluffing people make a fool of themselves.

Zhou Jing glanced at him, and said indifferently: "The magical powers of the poor are not the tricks of street performers."

He doesn't mind showing off, but he doesn't intend to do so when this kind of aristocratic family asks him to show it.

Condescend to ask others to show their skills to please themselves, and the superiority of the powerful is full. If I agree directly, I will become a "clown performing arts" in the eyes of these dignitaries. So he decided to continue making decisions.

Hearing the words, Liu Ping felt that Zhou Jing was being cowardly, and suddenly showed an unexpected expression, shook his fan, and said with a sneer:

"Could it be that the Taoist priest is unable to reproduce the miracle, and is afraid of being ashamed in public and being exposed as a fraud?"-

Ye Shunzhong next to him was immediately annoyed, so he didn't talk sideways;

Liu Gongzi, the ability of the Taoist priest, I have seen it with my own eyes, how can it be false? Don't offend the Taoist priest like this!"

Liu Ping shook his head indifferently; "Brother Ye, you have been deceived by someone but you don't know it. This person may have some medical skills, but the method of walking across the river must have used some tricks, how could it be Really?"

Without waiting for Ye Shunzhong to return, Liu Ping stared at Zhou Jing and proudly said:

Hehe, the Taoist priest has been playing tricks since he entered the door. I have a head and face in Ningtian Mansion, but you dare to show off in front of us, bluff and deceive, do you think we are easy to deceive? For Brother Ye's sake, I don't care about it, but if the Taoist leader dare not face us Use your supernatural powers, let's leave with a sense of humor, a charlatan, what qualifications do you have to "sit at the same table with me?"

Zhao Xing'an frowned, and said indifferently: "Mr. Liu, today is my official's banquet, and Daoist Lingfengzi is my invited guest."

Liu Ping immediately bowed his hand to the prefect and apologized: "Don't blame the magistrate, I'm just annoyed that this person treats me like a fool, showing off and deceiving me, so I opened my mouth angrily.

Everyone remained silent, but looked at Zhou Qing meaningfully, with a delicate atmosphere.

The pressure came to Zhou Jing's side, and a normal person would feel like sitting on pins and needles in this atmosphere.

But Zhou Jing didn't care. After all, he was full of confidence. He was just watching Zhao Xing'an and Liu Ping's conversation with cold eyes, knowing that this was probably a pre-arranged cooperation.

These people held a banquet today, and they intended to expose him. Although they had a pleasant chat before, how can a few big words that don't know the truth easily dispel the suspicion of these dignitaries, so it's time to launch an attack. Make trouble. When it comes to this point, only showing the means can solve it once and for all. He had this kind of plan, but he needs a reason.

Zhou Jing rolled his eyes, he was already calculating, he ignored Liu Ping, but looked at Zhao Xing'an, saying

"Master Zhao, I have something to discuss when I go to the banquet today.

Seeing that Zhou Jing's expression was normal, Zhao Xing'an couldn't help being a little surprised, thinking that this man was quite calm, and said with a smile: "The Taoist priest, that's it

Zhou Jing; "Pindao came to Ningtian Mansion to search for secrets and help the country, but the secrets are vague and invisible, and the poor do not know how to appear, so I hope the magistrate will tell the people in the city to pay attention to some strange things on weekdays If you find anything, please let me know."

"I've also heard a little bit, hasn't the Taoist priest convinced the Ye family to do this for you?" Zhao Xing'an raised his brows.

"That's right, but the people in the city are skeptical. There has been no movement in the past few days. If the magistrate informed the people on behalf of the government, the people would believe it.

Zhou Jing nodded and responded calmly. Zhao Xing'an rolled his eyes, and said with a half-smile; "It's not difficult, but I'm also quite curious about how the Taoist master's method is not as good as this. If the Taoist priest can show his supernatural powers and walk on water, let me wait for it." Vision, I will help you with this matter. Since the Taoist priest has the ability to step on the river, it should be a trivial matter for the Taoist priest to step on the Yulin River: a pile?"

Zhou Jing sighed on purpose: "Pindao doesn't want to show off his supernatural powers to others easily, and besides, the Yulin Riverside is crowded with people. If it is revealed in public, it may cause riots and stampedes. Why bother to force Master Zhao?"

Zhao Xing'an didn't take it seriously, waved his hands and said: "It's okay, the Taoist priest doesn't need to worry about these ordinary people, we are really curious, but if the Taoist priest doesn't want to, then don't force it, it's just that the official is not easy to handle The matter of the Taoist priest.

Zhou Jing frowned, deliberately glanced at Ye Shunzhong and Ye Shunzhong Fu to his heart, and hurriedly echoed: "Looking for Tianyue is no joke, Mr. Zhao is willing to help, and the Taoist priest is very capable, so let's do it.

When Zhou Jing heard the words, he deliberately hummed softly, and said lightly; "Well, since Jushi Ye is like this, then the poor Taoist will make an exception, and I hope Master Zhao will not break his promise."

" Haha, naturally Zhao Xing will not appease Xu and respond casually.

Everyone was also quite curious, wanting to see how this Lingfengzi would collapse if he was held up by words, and they were all waiting to have fun.

Zhou Jing got up slowly, walked slowly to the Yawen window, facing the Yulin River.

Under the puzzled gaze of the dignitaries in the arena, Zhou Jing lightly raised his palms and pressed them against the walls on both sides of the window.

"What is he going to do?" Everyone was puzzled.

But in the next second, there was a sudden bang!

Suddenly, there was a strong wind, and the wall of the private room exploded, creating a big hole that led directly to the outside of the building!

Crackling__

Shards of wood and bricks flew and fell from the third floor, causing the pedestrians on the street to scream.

The nearby passers-by avoided one after another, looking up in surprise, they were stunned and stopped to watch, yelling.

I saw Zhou Jing standing in front of the hole on the third floor of the Cuiyu Tower, and suddenly stepped out, standing in mid-air.

Then, he crossed the sky step by step, as if stepping on invisible steps, from the third floor of the Cuiyu Building, all the way obliquely to the surface of the Yulin River.

At the same time, howling gusts of wind ~IndoMTL.com~ swept across the river, setting off turbulent waves.

I saw rows of painted boats undulating with the water surface, bumping into each other, creating chaos-

It's as if the river is overturned, the Dragon Lord is angry

In the room, many dignitaries who had been waiting to see a good show were all terrified. Seeing this unbelievable scene, they were terrified and coughing.

Zhao Xing'an shook his hand and almost pulled his beard off.

Everyone present had the same unbelievable thought at this moment.

This guy is playing for real?! Seeing everyone's reaction, Ye Shunzhong felt a surge of joy in his heart, and felt elated and proud.

Huh, why did these people not believe him, and laughed at him for being deceived!

Stupid, I am a real god!
