Chapter 16101612【Living Immortal】
Xiang Nan refused to be recruited by the imperial court many times on the grounds that his Taoism was low, his conduct was not high, and his cultivation was not enough to preach scriptures for the emperor.
??However, Emperor Jiajing felt more and more that Xiang Nan was a true man of virtue, so he summoned him even more fiercely.
Not only was he generously rewarded and titled "Fengtian Fu Guo Yin Xian Yu Hua Hong Ren Ji Shi Pu Du Zhongyi Zhenren", but also raised his lumi to four thousand dan, allocated ten thousand taels of silver to Xiang Nan to rebuild the temple, and personally Write a title for Laojun Guan.
It can be said that among the Taoists in the world, Xiang Nan''s title can be regarded as the most honorable.
In fact, when Jiajing was a child, he had already heard of Xiang Nan''s name.
Because he was born in the second year of Zhengde, when he grew up, it was also the time when Xiang Nan was curing diseases and saving people and was most famous. Therefore, Emperor Jiajing had already heard the name of Tai Chi Master when he was very young.
Knowing that he was able to help those in need, hang pots to help the world, have great medical skills, and be both civil and military, he wanted to recruit him into the palace.
…
After Xiang Nan considered it, he finally decided to be summoned to the palace.
On the one hand, people in public schools like to practice. Emperor Jiajing advocated Taoism and trusted alchemists. What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom. People all over the country are rushing to donate elixirs and secret techniques, among which there should be a large number of martial arts classics and secrets of internal strength.
?Just like when Huang Shang revised the "Wanshou Taoist Canon" under the orders of Huizong, he unknowingly understood the principles of martial arts and became a master of his generation.
?On the other hand, although Xiang Nan’s Infernal Affairs plan was successful, its progress was too slow. It took more than ten years for Xiang Nan to learn the two unique skills of Demon Subduing Fist and Crazy Magic Wand Technique. I don’t know how long it will take to learn all the best Shaolin martial arts.
?After entering the palace, with the help of Jiajing''s power, he could force the Shaolin Temple to hand over the martial arts classics. By then, he will naturally be able to obtain all the unique skills of Shaolin Temple.
In addition, Dong Tianbao is also a person who is obsessed with fame and wealth. In the film, in order to achieve success, he did not hesitate to betray his beloved woman and his closest junior brother.
And entering the palace this time is a good opportunity to make a career. If he fulfills Dong Tianbao''s wish, he may receive even more rewards in the future.
Therefore, Xiang Nan finally decided to go to Beijing.
…
"Jun Bao, after I leave, the Taiji Sect will be handed over to you." Xiang Nan asked, "You must restrain the disciples and not allow them to act recklessly. You must also be considerate of the people, be compassionate, and save the world."
“Don’t worry, senior brother, I will definitely do it.” Jun Bao nodded.
Xiang Nan then went to the capital with Xiao Donggua in an ox cart.
When the angels sent by the imperial court and the local officials saw Xiang Nan on his way, they immediately stopped him.
"Master, if you want to enter the capital, you will naturally have to wear a full guard of honors and deacons. How can you be so shabby? If you want the emperor to see it, why don''t you blame me for my incompetence in handling affairs and poor reception?" said the local prefect.
"Pindao is an outsider. He is very quiet and uninhibited by things. A cow and a car are enough." Xiang Nan waved his hand and then drove there on his own.
When the imperial envoys and prefects saw this, they naturally did not dare to stop him.
After all, Xiang Nan is now a real person conferred by the emperor, and his title and salary are the same as those of a prince. Moreover, there are tens of millions of believers among the people, so who dares to disobey his thoughts.
Therefore, since Xiang Nan is willing to take this ox cart to Beijing, they can only obey his orders. However, Xiang Nan did not attach importance to ceremony or pomp, but they had to pay attention to it, so they still sent a full-scale honor guard and deacon to follow him.
?So, on the post road to the capital, a strange scene appeared.
An ox cart walked slowly in front, followed by a team of hundreds of deacons. The golden melon ax and ax are raised to the sky, the silent evasion card, the flying tiger flag, the flying bear flag, the flying biao flag, the flying horse flag...it is completely a prince-level honor guard. However, they did not dare to overtake Xiang Nan''s ox cart, so they could only follow slowly behind.
On both sides of the road, pedestrians passed by from time to time, bowing to the bullock cart that Xiang Nan was riding.
Because Xiang Nan has the reputation of "living god" among the people. Especially in the Heluo area, there were countless people who had received his kindness. Naturally, they were grateful and worshiped him.
…
Xiang Nan went all the way to the capital.
No officials were seen along the way, no guests were invited, and no guests stayed at the inns.
Eat at roadside restaurants and pubs, and sleep in the oxcart with Little Winter Melon.
With his reputation, naturally many believers and flatterers came to visit him and brought food, drinks and supplies, but Xiang Nan was not accepted.
?Even when you go to a restaurant to eat, you have to pay for it yourself.
Being so honest, self-sufficient, and happy with poverty naturally made Xiang Nan more and more famous, and everyone respected him.
A month later, when Xiang Nan arrived in the capital, his reputation was at its highest.
After arriving in the capital, Xiang Nan was first invited to the palace to meet with Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houcong.
?Emperor Jiajing summoned Xiang Nan in the inner court and greeted him personally, calling him a living god.
“Your Majesty, a poor Taoist would not dare to take the word “god” seriously. Xiang Nan said with a smile and waved his hand.
"A living **** is too humble. I have heard of your name since I was a child. I heard that you can soar into the clouds, call the wind and rain, sow beans into soldiers, and bring back the dead." Emperor Jiajing smiled and said, "I wonder if that''s the case?"
"Of course it''s not true." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Pindao is also a mortal, he just has some medical skills and a little martial arts."
“The living gods should not test my sincerity. I am truly seeking the truth wholeheartedly.” Emperor Jiajing said hurriedly.
"The emperor wants to live forever, but Pindao is really powerless." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "However, the emperor wants to be healthy and live longer, but Pindao has some experience."
"That''s fine, let''s ask the living gods to teach it quickly." When Emperor Jiajing heard this, he immediately listened attentively.
Xiang Nan then asked for his pulse and found that Emperor Jiajing''s pulse was good. After all, he was young and had only been emperor for a few years, so his physical condition was not bad. It''s just a lack of exercise, so I''m still weak.
“Your Majesty, have you lost your appetite recently, been irritable, afraid of cold and heat, and have insomnia and dreaminess?” Xiang Nan then asked.
"Yes, living god, what you said is absolutely right." Emperor Jiajing said happily, "I also asked the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and drank a lot of decoctions, but there was no effect."
Xiang Nan nodded, "Your Majesty, medicinal tonic is not as good as food tonic, and food tonic is not as good as qi tonic. Is it because medicine is toxic, or should we reduce the use of medicine and focus more on diet and qi training. If you persist, your majesty will surely eliminate the disease and be healthy."
"Oh, living god, you really woke up the dreamer with your words. I only wish I hadn''t met you earlier." Emperor Jiajing said excitedly, "According to you, how should I nourish my food and Qi?"
"Your Majesty, dietary supplements should pay attention to balanced nutrition, a combination of meat and vegetables, a combination of dry and thin, and a combination of thick and thin. Also pay attention to less sugar, less salt, and less oil." Xiang Nan explained, "As for qi supplements, Pindao has a Tai Chi style , maintain your temperament, regulate your energy, and exercise your body. If your majesty is willing, I will be happy to teach you."
"Okay, you are indeed a living **** who can help the world by hanging pots and rejuvenate with wonderful hands. I will rely on you." Jiajing nodded immediately.
