Subversion of the plot [Comprehensive]

In the evening of that day, a young eunuch came to Huichun Hall wearing the clothes of a servant.

"Doctor Xu, Grandpa Dai sent a servant to deliver a message. He is feeling a bit uncomfortable. He will be leaving the palace tomorrow. He will send someone to pick up Doctor Xu for his medical visit. Please don't leave the house."

Xu Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, and nodded lightly: "Understood, just send someone to pick you up tomorrow."

After the little eunuch left, the two looked at each other.

Xu Yanxian smiled and said: "If you say such clumsy words, I'm afraid even a little eunuch can't coax them, so it can't be the one who came out in person, right?"

Dai Quan, as the number one eunuch in Daming Palace, if he really had a headache, wouldn't the imperial physicians try their best to diagnose and treat it?Why bother to go outside the palace?Even if the eunuch is sick, there are so many imperial physicians.What's more, if you are sick, you don't rush to treat it, but you have to wait until tomorrow, which is an excuse no matter how you look at it.

"I'll go with you tomorrow." Tao Shuobai also guessed that it was Tu Jing who was coming, and making Tu Jing avoid such a taboo could only involve the Supreme Emperor, and it was inconvenient to discuss in the palace.

Even though the Taishanghuang became more and more ill this year, Tu Jing was a bit shallow at all. There was too little time. The hunting in the West Mountain was because of the urgency, and the soldiers made dangerous moves, and almost lost his life.Although the son of a daughter does not sit in a dangerous place, what Tu Jing is facing is that there are wolves before and tigers behind. If you don't break through, you can only be blocked to death.Fortunately, he succeeded.

When the Supreme Emperor knew about this, he was shocked and pained, and passed away.

If this is the case, the Supreme Emperor's health will not last long, who would have thought that someone from Jiangnan Zhen's family went to Beijing last month, after which Concubine Zhen Gui recommended a Taoist priest to the Supreme Emperor, within a few days, the Supreme Emperor's health improved.Less than a month ago, the Supreme Emperor was able to walk freely and his energy gradually recovered. Naturally, he suppressed the situation that Tu Jing managed so hard to manage again, and even wanted to release the Third Prince.

The plot of treason was not made clear to the world. Tu Jing thought that he had just ascended the throne, and it was not appropriate to make a big move. It would be better to deal with it secretly.He just wanted to stay until the Supreme Emperor's day, then he could show off his skills and have nothing to worry about.

Unexpectedly, the Supreme Emperor's condition suddenly improved!

At the beginning, Tu Jing was just impatient. He knew very well that there are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two monarchs in the country. It is not because he is unfilial, but because the royal family has no father and son.He actively planned and prepared, not daring to take it lightly, but gradually he felt physically exhausted, his heart was restless, and he couldn't sleep well.The imperial doctors couldn't see the problem, and he thought it was too much hard work, but when he went to pay his respects to the Supreme Emperor one day, he found that the Supreme Emperor was in good spirits and had a rosy complexion, but his own face was pale and his energy was low, so he was shocked.

Tu Jing had experienced the matter of Gu worms, so he immediately thought deeply about it.

At that time, he also read a lot of ancient books and materials, and checked the information of Gu insects, but there was not much useful content in the orthodox books, but there were all kinds of magical abilities in the ghost stories.He guessed that when he was hit by the Gu worm back then, it must not be a simple illness, but a forced loss of vitality.If a person loses vitality, he will experience various symptoms of discomfort, and eventually die.

He didn't take this matter to ask Tao Shuobai again, if the other party didn't say anything, he also had some concerns.But this time he encountered something strange again, but he couldn't sit still.

He still remembered that the person who planted Gu on him last time has not been caught yet.

The next day, there was a carriage back and forth to pick up people from Chuntang.

It was already Chen Shi, and the street was very lively, so it would not seem abrupt to go out to the doctor in a car, and if there were too many people, it would not make people focus on the ordinary blue silk carriage.Only a guard dressed as a coachman came, and the direction of going was not Dai Quan's house that Xu Yan was familiar with, but an ordinary small courtyard among ordinary people.Most of the people in this area are doing small businesses. During the day, there is no one at home, and few people see the carriage coming in.

"Doctor Xu, Mr. Tao, here we are." The driver stopped the car.

When the two got out of the car, the coachman went to pat open the courtyard door, and when they entered, they saw Dai Quan coming up to greet them.

"Mr. Tao, doctor Xu, please come inside." Dai Quan didn't show any signs of illness on his face, and he really had other secrets.

The courtyard looks quiet, and there are not many people, but both of them are martial arts practitioners, so they naturally know that there are many guards hidden in the dark, and they can roughly judge the inner strength of martial arts by listening to their breathing. They should be the most powerful group of people. After all, Tu Jing is the king of a country, how dare he casually wear the white dragon fish suit.Even today's move is a risk.

Entering the house, seeing Tu Jing standing there, even if he is not a doctor, he can tell that his complexion is very bad.

"Please sit down, both of you. You don't have to be too particular about going out, just call me fourth master." Tu Jing's move was also to prevent the wall from having ears.

It is a good thing that the two can avoid the rules of prostration.

"Fourth Master, this is..." Xu Yan is a doctor, carefully observing Tu Jing's complexion and spirit, he seemed to be suffering from a serious illness.

Tu Jing smiled wryly: "I feel unwell recently, but the imperial physician doesn't know the details, so I came to ask Mr. Tao for advice."

Xu Yan also knew that Tao Shuobai was proficient in some aspects, so he didn't say anything.

Tao Shuobai asked Tu Jing to stretch out his hand to feel his pulse, and his breath traveled around his body in a thread, and he found that this state was actually the same as when he was hit by a Gu.The vitality and luck of Tu Jing was stolen!Tao Shuobai applied his mana to his eyes, looked at Tu Jing again, and found that the dragon aura on his body also changed slightly.

Tu Jing has ascended the throne as the emperor, and the dragon energy has turned into a substance, turning into a golden dragon.It's just that at this moment, the young golden dragon's eyes are slightly half-closed, as if weak, and the scales on the dragon's tail are no longer clear.If it died normally, the golden dragon should be old, or near the end of its life, showing a sluggish state. Although Tu Jing's avatar of the golden dragon is also sluggish, it also shows a fuzzy gasification, which is likely to be stolen.

Last time the Gu worm came from Jing Huan, now Jing Huan can't protect himself, how can he have such ability.

...Could it be the pair of monks and Taoists?But it's only been a few years of hard work, can the monks heal the serious injuries on the soul?Or, like Ma Daopo, a Taoist with some abilities?

Tu Jing noticed that he was frowning, and his heart became more serious.

Tao Shuobai suddenly asked: "When you feel unwell, how is the Supreme Emperor?"

This undoubtedly touched Tu Jing's mind, he said: "The situation of the Supreme Emperor is getting better, sometimes better than me."

"What is the origin of that Taoist priest?" Tao Shuobai asked again.

Tu Jing had been prepared for a long time, and handed him a few pieces of paper, which listed the life of the Taoist priest in detail.

Tao Shuobai paused when he saw the name at the beginning, and asked in surprise, "Jia Jing? Jia Jing from Ningguo Mansion?"

Xu Yan was surprised at the same time.

Maybe some people don't know Jia Jing's name, but everyone knows that the old man of Ningguo Mansion became a monk and practiced Taoism.This Jia Jing was very talented when he was young, and he was awarded a Jinshi. With such a background, he had a bright future in official career, but he left his family business, wife, children and official career, and ran to become a Taoist priest.A monk with pure six sense organs and no attachments should concentrate on cultivating and seeking longevity. This Taoist Jia Jing is obsessed with alchemy, but he also fooled around with those Taoists and did many absurd things.

Since Jia Jing went to the Taoist temple, he refused to go home again. Rather than saying that he wanted to be quiet and that his family was too busy and dusty, it would be better to say he was "avoiding things".Something must have happened back then that made him unable to stay at home anymore, so he could only hide from the world and become a monk.

"It is indeed Jia Jing." Tu Jing was equally astonished when he received the news. Maybe he had met Jia Jing when he was a child, but it had been a long time, so it doesn't matter what the other person looks like, besides, his appearance has changed a long time ago.Another one, Jia Jing didn't use his real name in the palace, he said he was a Taoist, and was recommended by the Zhen family, no one thought about Jia Jing.

Tu Jing said again: "When Jia Jing arrived at Shangyang Palace, he first offered three elixir, which are said to be as big as jujube stones and as red as blood. At the beginning of the Supreme Emperor, he asked someone to check it, and it was like an ordinary tonic pill. Did you see it? It is dangerous, so he took it suspiciously under the persuasion of Concubine Zhen Gui. How did he know that this pill was really useful, and then the Supreme Emperor opened the door for convenience. Since then, Jia Jing has a special Taoist temple, and he does alchemy in it all day. I only keep it from outside the palace."

Tao Shuobai didn't know why his heart moved, and asked again: "Apart from Si Ye, who else in the palace is sick recently?"

Tu Jingyin was not in a good mood for this question, and his face was also ugly: "The queen mother caught a cold last month and has never been well. The queen's face is not good recently, and because of the sudden cold weather, the little prince who was born not long ago died. Concubine Chen Gui also fell ill in grief."

Xu Yan suddenly said: "Prince Zhongshun is also sick, and there is also an imperial doctor in the Beijing Palace."

"This...Mr. Tao?" Tu Jing didn't think of this at first, but when he mentioned it, he shuddered. Could it be that such evil methods really harmed so many royal family members?

"They are all people who are closely related to the fourth master, or have been influenced." If there is such a sorcery that unscrupulously steals life, it can be seen that it is terrifying, and he should feel it.

Xu Yan questioned: "Why is Jia Jing recommended by the Zhen family?"

The corners of Tu Jing's mouth turned cold: "Recommending this kind of thing is beyond what ordinary people can do. The Jia family doesn't even have anyone who can go to court, and there is a prince Teng who has a high position among his in-laws, but Wang Ziteng has lost the trust of the Supreme Emperor." , really recommended someone, the emperor must first suspect that he has ulterior motives."

The Taishanghuang did not annoy those ministers who were close to the new emperor about the hunt in Xishan, but the matter was not dealt with clearly, and the Taishanghuang could not deal with them in this way.

Moreover, the Supreme Emperor dotes on Concubine Zhen Gui and trusts the Zhen family. If the Zhen family recommends someone, the Supreme Emperor still has a trust.

"There's something wrong with Jia Jing." Tao Shuo raised the paper in his hand and said, "Fourth Master found out that Jia Jing suddenly left the capital one day, went to Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and disappeared in Guanyin Mountain for three days. He appeared again. He appeared at Zhen’s house in Jinling, and came to the capital not long after. Why did he suddenly go to Yangzhou? What did he do during the three days he disappeared? Did he meet anyone? Sooner or later you will die from erysipelas, how could you suddenly refine the 'elixir'."

Naturally, Tu Jing checked it: "There must be something hidden in it, but I can't find it out."

"Is there no one from the Jia family?" Xu Yan didn't think that the Jia family would be indifferent if the old lady was lost.

"Jia Jing left a letter when he left, and later the Zhen family also sent a letter. Although Jia Zhen was suspicious, she didn't do anything other than send someone to serve her."

"Someone asked Jia Jing to go to the south of the Yangtze River." Xu Yan always had this feeling, but he couldn't figure out the intention, but it was undoubtedly related to Jia Jing's current behavior.

Tao Shuobai closed his eyes, released his spiritual consciousness, and went straight into the palace.

There is a palace next to Shangyang Palace, which used to be the residence of the Empress Dowager and his concubines, but now it is vacated for Jia Jing.Morning and evening, there was white smoke floating over the courtyard, with a strange aroma, and one breath seemed to shake people's spirits, so much so that the palace people respected Jia Jing as an immortal master.

In the room in the middle of the main hall stood an alchemy furnace as tall as one person, with two little Taoist boys fanning the fire on each side, and a Taoist priest in a red gossip robe stood there with his whisk in his hand, muttering to himself. , the other hand seems to be pinching the magic formula.The so-called outsiders watch the excitement, insiders watch the way, and the palace people see that this is an immortal master who is doing alchemy, but in Tao Shuobai's eyes, what the Taoist reads and pinches in his hands are all full of mistakes, nothing at all, pure fooling people!

But every three days, a elixir will come out of the furnace.

This Taoist priest has a thin face, five willows and a long beard, and is dressed in a Taoist robe. It is indeed a bit bluffing to make such a gesture.This is Jia Jing!

When Jia Jing became a monk, outsiders didn't know the reason, but they couldn't hide it from Tu Jing, it was really a dirty thing.Everyone knows that Jia Zhen is licentious, but they don't know that she is in the same line as her father. It was because of the incident of picking up ashes back then that Jia Jing stayed at home without face, so she hid in the Taoist temple for peace.Since Jia Jing became a monk, the Jia family also felt ashamed and refused to mention it easily. After a long time, it seemed that Jia Jing was really tired of the world and went to become a monk to seek longevity. But what did Jia Jing do in the Taoist temple? Nonsense?

If you want people not to know, unless you do it yourself.

From the Jia family up to Jia Mu, down to Jia Zhenchun and others in the Ningguo Mansion, who would mention him on weekdays?He only brought him back on New Year's Eve in accordance with the rules of the ancestors. After the ancestor worship in the ancestral hall, if he wants to leave, who will stay.

At this time, no one would know that Jia Jing actually went to the palace and became the immortal teacher who saved the life of the Supreme Emperor.

After a long time, Tao Shuobai withdrew his consciousness and opened his eyes.

Tu Jing didn't make a sound, but his eyes were full of expectations and doubts.

Tao Shuobai said: "This elixir has a similar effect to the original Gu worms. Jia Jing is just a pawn in the face. There is someone else who really knows how to make alchemy. That person should not be in the capital, and it is inconvenient to show up."

"Will it be the same person who planted the Gu worm?" Tu Jing asked.

"...It's very possible." Tao Shuobai felt that it was really possible that it was the pair of monks and Taoists. Such an evil method of alchemy is taboo for immortals, and it belongs to the category of demons. will use.If the pair of monks and Taoists, as Jing Huan's subordinates, maybe they knew something by chance.

If it is really a monk, it means that they didn't cut the grass and roots, so naturally they can't let the two go away this time.

"I'm going to the south of the Yangtze River. As for Jia Jing in the palace..." Tao Shuobai hesitated a little, and reminded: "I haven't seen the elixir, I don't know how powerful the elixir is, but according to three days At the speed of one pill, Taishanghuang takes one pill every three days, and his body gradually improves, step by step, so this will definitely not stop in a short period of time. Even if Taishanghuang's physical condition recovers one day in the future, he will not be able to curb his desire for pills Desire, this beautiful feeling will be addictive. If I get rid of the people behind the scenes, Jia Jing will definitely not be able to refine the elixir, and the Supreme Emperor will break the elixir..."

"What will happen?" Tu Jing already guessed that the result would not be good.

Sure enough, I heard Tao Shuobai say: "Although the body will not have much impact, it is just an interruption of recovery, but psychologically, I am afraid it will be difficult to get rid of. The feeling is extremely painful, and it is difficult for ordinary people to resist. Any consequences are possible. occur."

Originally, Tu Jing was still a little moved, but when he heard these words, he sighed slightly.

Sure enough, there is no such good thing in this world, just like the Supreme Emperor, who wants to hold on to the power of the world and wants to live forever.How many emperors throughout the ages have sought longevity, and who has achieved it?Tu Jing is now in the prime of life, and his reason is very clear. He knows that being an emperor also has to pay a price. The emperor pretends to be the world in his heart, so he should give up the greed that he shouldn't have.

"I don't know how long it will take for Mr. Tao to return? Is there a need?" After all, it is related to personal safety, and the empress dowager and others are involved, so Tu Jing is worried.

"No, I'll go alone. If it goes well, it can be completed in half a month. Once completed, there will be a sense in the palace. If you have any questions at that time, you can ask Jia Jing. Don't startle the snake just yet." Tao Shuobai said It's not too late to get up.

"Shuobai!" Xu Yan was worried, and wanted to follow, but his own martial arts were inferior, so following could only slow down his pace, thinking that he was somewhat unwilling.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." After thinking about it, he added, "I'll write to you."

Xu Yan's face was calm, and he sent him to the gate of the courtyard without giving him any instructions.

Looking at the two, Tu Jing finally realized what it was like.In fact, the relationship between the two has been seen before, but now that masculinity is prevalent, Tu Jing only thinks that the two are a matter of elegance in private, but now it seems that they want to be deeply affectionate and have no distinction in this life.In this way, the person who secretly chose Xu Yan as his son-in-law can only feel ashamed.

If you want to ask why no one is keeping an eye on Tao Shuobai, it's just because he looks like a hermit, who can't figure out his background, and why the dignitaries in Beijing dare to get married so easily.Xu Yan is different. Everyone in the capital knows that this person is relied on by the emperor. He is also outstanding in appearance and gentle in temperament. He not only has outstanding medical skills, but also has a reputation as a scholar. The son-in-law who rides the dragon in his heart.

It is also because the atmosphere in the palace is not good at the moment, and the ministers like old foxes are waiting and watching for the time being, so the marriage talk is put on hold for the time being.

As soon as Tao Shuobai left the city, there was no one around, so he walked against the wind and arrived in Yangzhou that day.

When he arrived in Yangzhou, he took out a piece of paper, wrote a few words, folded the paper crane, and let it fly after casting a spell.The paper crane flapped its wings and flew into the night very fast. It would find Xu Yan directly, and only Xu Yan could open the paper crane.

After that, he went to Guanyin Mountain.

The night is dark, and the temples on the mountain are dotted with fire, which makes the mountains and forests more quiet and cold.At the beginning, if he didn't use his spiritual sense, it might be detected that the other party has some tricks, but now he is not afraid.He covered the entire mountain with his spiritual consciousness and searched carefully, even if the people behind the scenes really had a magic weapon to detect his spiritual consciousness, it would not be easy to escape.

found it!

Guanyin Mountain is the highest point in Yangzhou. The ancient trees on the mountain block out the sun, the red walls are soaring, the buildings and halls are uneven, and the mountain and the temple seem to be one.All the worshipers in this mountain temple are Bodhisattvas. In a room in the apse, there are faint aura fluctuations.After a careful investigation, it turned out that it was Monk Laitou and Taoist Pozu. These two formed a formation, which cannot be seen by ordinary people, but they cannot be hidden from Tao Shuobai.And at this moment, Tao Shuobai also understood why the two of them hid here.

The south of the Yangtze River is inherently beautiful, and Guanyin Mountain is even more rich in aura. Of course, this richness is compared to other places in the world.Back then, the two monks and Taoists were seriously injured and fled. They must have left Yangzhou. They probably got some good things from Jing Huan to recuperate their wounds, so they recovered faster.Even so, the two of them are definitely not recovered at this time, but Jing Huan disappeared, the two of them must be in a hurry, took the risk to inquire, and in order to heal their injuries, they confused Jia She to come forward, and the stolen dragon energy and luck have indeed been refined The elixir, but only a small part was taken by the Supreme Emperor, and most of it was used by monks and Taoists to heal their injuries.

Tao Shuobai approached in a flash, and let out a cold snort.

The two monks and Taoists who were healing their injuries only felt thunder in their ears, and their hearts felt dull pain, and they spit out a mouthful of blood.At the same time, the illusion created by the two was shattered, and the seemingly empty room revealed its true face.

In the middle of the room was a purple gold alchemy furnace, and there were monks sitting on one left and one on the right. At this time, their faces were pale, their mouths were bloody, and their eyes were terrified.

Tao Shuobai didn't say a word of nonsense at all, and sacrificed the soul-binding rope.

When the two of them saw the soul-binding rope, their souls burned, they didn't dare to resist at all, and ran away with all their strength.

How could Tao Shuobai do what they wanted, this time he sealed off the whole room, the monks and Taoists would never try to escape again.He whipped the pair of monks and Taoists, the two people who beat them screamed again and again, breathless, and then threw out two balls of Yang fire, burning the two people from the inside to the outside without ashes.

If it was just to help the police to do evil, he would not do such a cruel thing, but to extract mortal life luck or even dragon energy to refine elixir, has violated the taboo of immortal cultivators, and cannot be forgiven!

When the monk and the Taoist were all dead, Jia She, who was far away in the imperial palace in the capital, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.

Daotong yelled in horror.

When the Supreme Emperor heard that the immortal master was in a coma, he thought that there was something wrong with his hard work in alchemy, so he was very anxious, and repeatedly sent the imperial doctor to give him a diagnosis and treatment.Tu Jing also got the news that he was one of the imperial physicians.

Jia Jing woke up before the imperial physicians began to take the pulse.

Jia Jing declined the imperial physician and drove away everyone, expressing that he would retreat and recuperate.The Supreme Emperor obeyed.When Jia Jing was the only one left in the room, Jia Jing felt flustered, and desperately called out to the monks and priests, but there was no answer.Jia Jing's face turned pale and he was on the verge of falling.

When he was meditating in the Taoist temple, a voice suddenly came to his ears, saying that he was expected to get a fairy fate, as long as he went to Guanyin Mountain in Yangzhou.There was this sound for three consecutive nights, but no one heard it. He was skeptical at first, but when a elixir appeared in front of him out of thin air, after taking it, his whole body felt smooth and his spirits lifted, so he believed it.

He went to Yangzhou and met two immortal elders. The immortal elders sent him a task. As long as he completed it, he could follow the two of them to cultivate longevity.

He seemed to be concocting alchemy in the palace, but actually carved a formation under the alchemy furnace.He just followed the orders of the two elders,

In the first round of alchemy, put the objects of the current emperor, the queen mother, the empress, etc., and the birth date in it. The emperor believes in him, and he can get these by just finding an excuse. Then put a few designated medicinal materials, and when the time comes, open the furnace. There must be a pill.To put it bluntly, the elixir was refined by monks and Taoists, and sent to the elixir furnace using the "five ghosts transporting spell", and only one of the lowest grade was taken to the Supreme Emperor.

Now that the two immortal elders have not responded to the news, Jia Jing seemed to wake up suddenly from a dream, and his body was like a sieve.
