Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 16
Yang Weide and the others looked at each other, they all understood each other's meaning, they bowed their hands together and said: "Thank you, Shangxian."

"You don't need to thank me, it's not me, it's just the emperor's fate." Zhang Yuqing stood above the heads of the crowd and said.

"Fate..." Yang Weide chewed a few times when he heard the words, but for some reason, cold sweat broke out on his back suddenly.

The Si Tianjian was keenly aware that something was not quite right.

'This indifferent tone, is it true that as recorded in ancient books, immortals don't care about the life and death of emperors in the world? ' he thought.

"I don't know if I can ask more questions. Although the official is not in danger of his life, when will he wake up?"

Yang Weide's face was pale, and he asked sincerely.

"Until the end of his days."

The fairy's reply seemed to instantly destroy the joyful atmosphere that had been silent in the crowd before. In an instant, everyone on the top of the mountain and stream gasped.

You must know that Zhang Yuqing did not hide this question from anyone.

He even directly canceled the restriction on sound transmission, and deliberately increased Yang Weide's volume, which caused this simple question and answer to be transmitted to everyone's eardrums.

'broken! 'Many court officials instantly realized this.

They exchanged glances with each other, confirming that now everyone probably knows that the official will not wake up again.

To make matters worse, everyone in Xishan knew about it.

You don't even need to observe, you can know this from the faces of the people around you who can't hide the panic.

Now there are about 1000 people in Xishan.

It would be fine if they were all ordinary people, but most of them were court officials, government officials, Taoist monks from Buddhist temples on various avenues, imperial guards in the capital, and inheritors of the true immortal Taoism.

Can't shut up...

This Shangxian really, wouldn't he cover up such earth-shattering news.

Now it is easy for everyone to know that the emperor may be in a coma for the rest of his life.

I'm afraid that as soon as this news spreads to Xishan, there will be chaos in the world.

Today's official family has no children, and I don't know why, all the princes can't live past the threshold of 2 years old, and even the princess, only one Princess Fukang barely grew up, and the rest of the princes died young.

If no one controls the country, chaos will inevitably arise!
"I beg the gods to help the current officials!" Yang Weide reacted the fastest, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Zhongshuling quietly pulled a person beside him, and ordered him to go down the mountain immediately to mobilize the Imperial City Commander Ma Laixishan, and then kowtowed for the second time to ask the gods to save the officials.

The hula la officials knelt on the ground, and the monks and priests saw it, come on, let's not be idle, let's kneel first.

The eunuchs and forbidden soldiers farther away were all kneeling down and begging at this moment.

"Today's officials are benevolent and loving, and the gods are merciful, let the officials survive this disaster." Many people in the imperial army and eunuchs prayed sincerely at this moment.

Among the thousands of people, about 800 people bowed sincerely, and Zhang Yuqing immediately felt a strong force of wish turning into aura and penetrating into his limbs and bones.

Bits of mana condensed out, and the whole body felt extremely comfortable.

Zhao Yuanyan's face was stiff, wishing he could slap himself a few times.

Nearly 70 years old, he didn't realize that the Immortal of Longevity only expressed that the emperor's life was safe, but he didn't say when he would wake up.

Perhaps it was because the encounters in the past two days were too fast and too fast, and the excitement brought about by rejuvenation was too heavy, which caused him to lose his usual logical thinking ability.

In an instant, Zhao Yuanyan's eyes were red, and he knelt down sincerely and said: "Yuqing Taiyuan Changsheng Immortal, I don't know, I don't know if there is a way to save my nephew's life, this disciple is even willing to give up the fairy fate, just want the country to be stable, and the world will not be chaotic!"

"Zhao Yuanyan!" Shangxian's majestic voice added a bit of anger, resounding in everyone's ears, like thunder!

"I gave you the fairy fate, so I gave it to you to use it here?!"

The immortal was furious, Zhao Yuanyan was like a child who had done something wrong, his face was stunned for a while, and the sadness that had just risen suddenly turned into panic, and he said again and again: "No, no... disciple, disciple has lost his head, forgive me Forgive me!!"

"Well——" Zhang Yuqing nodded in satisfaction and stood up. This beat Zhao Yuanyan, and he also wanted to help him spread this matter more widely.

I would rather give up the fairy fate to save people, and not worry that the official will not remember the emperor's love after waking up.

"Forget it, they're all idiots..."

Then, a deep sigh suddenly resounded through Xishan, affecting everyone's mood.

A golden light suddenly appeared above the sky, and a bamboo slip book overflowing with colorful brilliance slowly descended and landed in Zhao Yuanyan's hands.

"Proclaim my decree." The majestic voice sounded again.

"Yes!" Zhao Yuanyan's spirit suddenly cheered up a bit, and he opened the gradually dimmed bamboo slips, and what caught his eyes was a series of golden characters.

He opened his mouth and slowly recited the decree of the immortal.

"The emperor, Zhao Zhen, has a honest temperament and loves the common people generously.

Because the disaster of the Red Goat is imminent, it is inappropriate to be good at swordsmanship. All our human races want peace and tranquility.

I want to change the number of his life, and the special decree is as follows.

Within an hour, donate thousands of taels of pure gold, three animals and six animals, and gather on the top of the mountain to help the emperor wake up! "

Hearing that the immortal was willing to make a move, all the officials did not doubt him, and they all bowed down and thanked him.

"I would like to abide by the decree of the immortal law."

No one questioned what Shangxian wanted gold for.

In other words, this may be the first immortal in history to truly communicate with the human world, and no one knows what the price will be in exchange for the protection of the immortal.

Maybe gold is a necessity.

Or it could just be that this celestial being loves gold, just as Buddhism likes to shape golden bodies.

A little bit of gold... It's not his own anyway, so it must be taken from the treasury, and he will give it away if he donates it.

If someone questioned and angered Shangxian, he would be impeached afterwards for the purpose of detriment to the officials.

Maybe he will be labeled a traitor of the Song Dynasty and thrown into a sky prison.

Let's agree for now, this Shangxian can transmit sound through the air, and can fly to the sky and escape from the ground. Thousands of people in Bianliang City, including myself and others, have seen it.

I didn't expect to be deceived by people pretending to be gods and ghosts.

For those who have doubts, have you not seen that the eight wise kings who are crying and shouting to take out 1 taels of gold from their own treasury are really rejuvenated?
Given the status of the Eight Sage Kings, they wouldn't be able to cheat hundreds of officials together with charlatans, right?

For those in power in the feudal dynasty, the amount of 1 taels of gold cannot be considered small.

It's not that there are none, the main reason is that those who have gold at home are used to make utensils for fun.

Few hoard gold bars all day long.

Since the immortal said that he wanted 1 taels, no one dared to be short of the catty, or to be smart enough to offer more.

Zhongshu Sheng opened the back door to issue regulations, and it also involved the emperor's illness. Everything was carried out at the fastest speed.

The servants of the Palace of the Eight Immortals and the officials of the treasury hurriedly weighed for half an hour, and they just got together a total of 1 taels, including many gold pots and gold ornaments and gold masks.

It was too late to make money, and the Hundred Guards escorted several horse-drawn carriages to Xishan.

The 1 taels of gold weighed a thousand catties, and the three animals and six livestock together weighed a thousand catties. They were finally transported up the mountain within an hour.

"Go to the altar!"

Yang Weide commanded the strong men in the army to carry the sacrifices and light the tribute incense, and everyone respectfully prayed for the blessings of the gods.

Zhang Yuqing did not hesitate, and immediately dropped Jian Guang, took out the cloth bag from his arms, and threw gold bricks into the bag one by one from the top layer of the stacked gold mountain.

"The spirit has appeared, the immortal has appeared!" Everyone under the altar was so surprised that they could stuff an egg into their mouths.

Almost hundreds of people witnessed the rapid reduction of the high piles of golden altars at the same time.

It's as if...the gold never existed.

Zhang Yuqing worked hard to carry the gold, and whenever he encountered irregularly shaped gold objects, he used a small Vajra Mantra to knead them into gold bricks with exactly the same length, width and height.

With such efficient collection, a thousand catties of gold was quickly put into his cloth bag, which was very bulging.

At this time, his cloth bag has swelled up to a high degree, and a thousand catties of gold has a volume of about 25 liters, which can be converted into ten large bottles of Coke.
