Gao Huaide was somewhat shocked by Zhao Kuangyin's decision today, but he didn't dare to object at all. He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and bowed, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Furthermore, the Ministry of Works is ordered to build a Taoist temple in Bianliang City to worship the Primordial Supreme Mysterious Taoist Lord!"
The courtiers were puzzled.
"Your Majesty, may I ask which deity this Daoist is?"
Zhao Kuangyin said proudly, "Of course you don't know the origin of this immortal, but I recently received his blessing and gained extraordinary power."
"Everyone, please follow me."
Leading his ministers outside, he pointed to a pair of stone lions in front of a palace gate and asked, "Do you all know how much those stone lions weigh?"
"Your Majesty, this stone lion is two meters tall and weighs five thousand catties!"
An official from the Ministry of Works stepped forward to answer.
"Five thousand catties!" Zhao Kuangyin said with a calm smile. "Is there anyone in the world who can lift it?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.
What illness has befallen Your Majesty today?
Not only did he want to change his decision to prioritize civil affairs over military matters, but he also started talking nonsense while pointing at the stone lion.
Gao Huaide stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, a five-thousand-pound stone lion—let alone lifting it, even shaking it would be an incredibly difficult task. Even if Xiang Yu were to be resurrected, he would be powerless to stop it!"
"General Gao is right. This 5,000-pound stone lion is not something an ordinary person can move!" the civil officials echoed.
Zhao Kuangyin chuckled, walked with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, and stepped forward to give the stone lion a light kick.
The next moment, the two-meter-tall stone lion was lifted into the air and flew dozens of meters high.
The civil officials were dumbfounded.
The military officers were dumbfounded.
This was completely beyond their imagination!
"Human power can be this terrifying?" Gao Huaide stared wide-eyed at the sky in disbelief. "Your Majesty is truly a divine being!"

"Your Majesty is truly a person favored by Heaven, blessed with such good fortune and divine favor."
The civil servants also realized what was happening and started showering the officials with compliments without restraint.
Zhao Kuangyin was pleased with himself. As the stone lion fell, he reached out and gently caught the five-thousand-pound stone lion in his hand as if he were catching a leaf, without even blushing or panting.
Returning to the original location, the stone lion was put back.
The stone lion landed lightly and silently, as if it had no weight at all.
"This Dao Lord possesses boundless supernatural powers; he is an unparalleled immortal capable of creating worlds. He casually bestowed upon me an item, which transformed me, granting me the immense strength of a dragon and an elephant."
Zhao Kuangyin was filled with admiration and looked at him with reverence, thinking, "Such a person deserves to be worshipped at the temple. Who would object?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"We have no objections!"
Zhao Kuangyin nodded: "Very good, this matter should be done as soon as possible, without delay. Also, when you leave the court later, please walk slowly. I will pass down the Nine Great Incantations of Tai Xuan passed down by the Daoist. You should recite them when you return, and you will find them to be profound. When the time comes, you will know that you are worshipping a true immortal."
The crowd was puzzled, but they still accepted the imperial decree and expressed their gratitude.
After leaving, Zhao Kuangyin returned to his residence, wrote down the Nine Great Incantations of Tai Xuan, and had a eunuch copy them down before distributing them to his officials.
During this time, the officials were not idle either.
As soon as Zhao Kuangyin left, a shrewd minister came to the stone lion and, imitating Zhao Kuangyin, kicked it.
"I don't believe anyone can kick a stone lion up with one foot. Five thousand pounds, how could human strength do that?"
boom!
Click!
"Ouch!"
The next moment, the minister was in trouble, clutching his foot and howling, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
"I think I heard a cracking sound; Lord Liu's leg is probably broken!"
"How dare you doubt His Majesty, Lord Liu? What are you thinking?"
"Lord Liu is a shrewd man, usually so shrewd. This is the trouble caused by being too clever."
"No, it's just clever trickery. Even if His Majesty is really faking it, why should we expose him?"
What's the benefit of exposing it?
Despite this, the crowd still gathered around the stone lion, reaching out to verify its authenticity.
"The stone is rough, it's not fake."
"It is unshakeable, and that's not fake."
"General Gao, you are very strong. Why don't you come forward and test your strength?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Huaide became very curious. He stepped forward, leaned against the stone lion with his shoulder, and pushed it to one side with his feet.
"what!"
He exerted his strength three times in a row, only to find his cheeks flushed and his breath ragged, but the stone lion remained rooted to the spot, not moving an inch.
Gao Huaide stopped, took a deep breath, and said, "This stone lion is indeed genuine. Your Majesty has truly obtained an extraordinary opportunity. You can kick a five-thousand-pound stone lion with a single kick. Even if Xiang Yu were to be resurrected, he would probably not be a match for Your Majesty."
"Yes, Your Majesty is truly fortunate!"
Having verified the truth, everyone was even more shocked by what had just happened.
In an ordinary historical world, a person with the strength of a dragon and an elephant suddenly appears.
This is still quite shocking for people in the ordinary world.
As everyone was chatting, a group of eunuchs came carrying trays.
"Gentlemen, these are gifts bestowed upon us by His Majesty. Please come in!"
The group exchanged glances and happily each took one.
Before verifying the stone lion, they even suspected that Zhao Kuangyin had gone mad.
Now, they are completely convinced that this so-called divine incantation may indeed be a mysterious technique bestowed by the gods.
"A destiny of immortality! Don't try to take it from me!"
"Gentlemen, one serving for each of you, you've all been given one!"
"Oh, isn't this Lord Liu? Broken leg?" The head eunuch looked at the official who was holding his leg, a sneer flashing in his eyes. "Oh dear, to actually doubt His Majesty, you've brought trouble upon yourself. However, His Majesty is benevolent and has already given instructions that even those who are disrespectful can receive a spell."
"You are getting on in years; whether you can recover depends on Lord Liu's sincerity!"
After saying that, he handed over a spell.
"Is that really what Your Majesty says?" Lord Liu asked in a trembling voice, taking the incantation as if it were a lifeline, and tucking it into his robes.
"Insolence! Lord Liu, would His Majesty lie to you?"
……
Gao Huaide hurriedly returned home.
He wasn't that interested in forming the Heavenly Dragon Guard, but he was very interested in the incantation he finally obtained.
Soldiers have an obsession with strength.
"Homage to the Great Mysterious Dao Ancestor, homage to the Golden Crow God..."
Upon opening the incantation, Gao Huaide began to recite it sincerely.
At first, he didn't feel anything, but gradually, he seemed to see a huge divine bird circling in the sky, radiating boundless light that illuminated the world.
And golden light gradually appeared on his body.
Instantly, he felt a lightness throughout his body, and all his fatigue vanished.
Even old scars started to itch.
Only after reading it once did Gao Huaide have the mind to check his own condition. He rolled up his sleeve, wiped the scar on his arm, and immediately the scar fell off, revealing smooth, white skin underneath.
"This..." Gao Huaide was shocked.
It's just a recitation of the incantation, does it have to be this outrageous?
Arriving at the weapon rack, I picked up my weapon and felt it become lighter.
"My strength has increased!"
"His Majesty actually bestowed something like this?!"
With excitement, Gao Huaide entered the room and continued chanting the incantation.
I had only read half of it when I heard the door being pushed open.
"Husband, why is your body glowing?" The princess of Yan was stunned.
