Chapter 668: Tribulation
Before everyone entered the hall, there was a burst of violent coughing in the hall, and the sudden and slow sound made people feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing the figure of Yin Enci and his party coming in, the man sitting in the hall staggered up quickly and was about to bend over to pay his respects, but Yin Enci stepped forward anxiously and said, "Jinsheng, you are not in good health, so you don't have to Thank you very much."
Looking at the emaciated face in front of him, which was terribly pale, without even a trace of blood, Chu Nanzhi guessed that it was the sick emperor, and hurriedly saluted.
Lin Jinsheng had seen all the people who entered the room before. Looking at the petite woman in front of his ancestor, he could already hear calluses in his ears. He thought it was a fierce and sturdy woman, but instead I never imagined that the gentleness of Jiangnan's daughter's family can be seen everywhere.
He covered his mouth and coughed softly, sat down slowly and generously, and hurriedly greeted him: "We are all from our own family, brothers and sisters don't need to be polite, please sit down and sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chu Nanzhi followed Lin Jinshu and was about to sit in the guest seat at the side when she saw a waiter walking in with soup and medicine. A brightly colored pill in the tray immediately attracted her attention.
Just listen to the servant report: "Your Majesty, this is the elixir just brought by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it can prolong life, please take it immediately, Your Majesty."
"Prolong life, cough cough."
Lin Jinsheng's sunken pupils blinked weakly, and shook his head bitterly: "Since I became the throne, you have told me that this elixir prolongs life."
After saying this, he couldn't help coughing again.
The queen in front of him hurriedly took a new kerchief and wiped it for him.
Lin Jinsheng grabbed the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, then slowly waved his hand at the waiter and said, "That's all, that's all, let's put it down first."
From a distance, Chu Nanzhi looked at the emperor's skinny appearance, and then looked at the elixir placed beside him. It was roughly certain that it was poisoned by taking this refined elixir for a long time.
It’s just that the kings of all ages have the habit of pursuing immortality, and it’s not easy for her to say this clearly, so as not to violate the big taboo, so she can only say tactfully:
"Your Majesty is in the prime of his youth, so there is no need to rush to ask for immortality."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the servant who was about to go out suddenly turned around, knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty's dragon body is not healthy, so you must not stop taking the elixir. This elixir was carefully refined by Taoist Priest Chunhua of Huanglongguan for several years. Taoist Priest Chunhua watched the sky last night, and it is determined that His Majesty is taking it today. It’s a perfect day for the elixir, and if you take the elixir, your Majesty’s dragon body will definitely recover.”
"Oh, there is such a magic effect?"
When Lin Jinsheng looked at the pill next to him, he immediately became much more energetic. He took the pill and looked at it carefully, and suddenly stood up, excitedly beckoning to the queen next to him, "Hurry up and take a bath and change clothes for me. I take the elixir immediately after burning incense and praying."
Hearing these words, a smug look flashed across the servant's eyes, and he smiled sinisterly at Chu Nanzhi.
Chu Nanzhi sensed that there must be something wrong with this servant.
She suddenly thought of the unsolved unsolved case more than 20 years ago. The old King Qinghe died tragically on the way to sacrifice to heaven.
But the water in this palace is too deep, if you are not careful, you will put your wealth and life in it.
Right now, she can vaguely feel the huge conspiracy hidden behind it, but she is not yet fully sure to find out who is behind the scenes. The only thing she can do is to find a way to prevent the emperor from continuing to take the elixir.
Seeing that Lin Jinsheng was about to go to the inner hall supported by everyone, Chu Nanzhi got up, knelt down with a solemn face, and remonstrated:
"Your Majesty, my sister once heard a Taoist priest mention this matter of alchemy, elixir and even things from yin to yang, so she is particularly particular about the physique of the person who takes the elixir. Your majesty is the reincarnation of a real dragon, with youthful prosperity and great fortune. Qi Tian, it is really inappropriate to take elixir when you are too old, because the water will overflow and the moon will be full and you will lose."
Lin Jinsheng was very happy to hear the flattering and boastful words. He suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked with a light cough, "Your younger siblings also understand the art of alchemy?"
"Know the surface."
Chu Nanzhi secretly groaned bitterly: How does my old lady know the art of alchemy.
But in order to make the emperor dispel the idea of continuing to take the elixir, she had to force herself to be calm and start talking nonsense:
"Immortality is a gradual process. In addition to taking elixir, it also needs to rely on the practice of Taoism. The emphasis is on the right time, place and people, and both internal and external cultivation can achieve positive results."
Lin Jinsheng heard her speak clearly and logically, and immediately became interested, sat back on the throne again, and hurriedly urged: "Sister and sister, tell me in detail, I would like to hear the details."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the gloomy servant in front of the hall from the corner of his eye, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the son of heaven, and he is not comparable to ordinary mortals, but he followed God's will and went down to the mortal world. Once the calamity is completed, he will be able to Re-ranked in the fairy class."
"Down to earth to experience calamity?"
Everyone was quite new to the term "Life Tribulation". Lin Jinsheng thought about his own rough fate, and immediately felt that it was the case, and even his cough eased a lot, and he said: "Siblings think how should I survive the calamity?" Can it be cultivated to a positive result?"
"That's the right time, place and people that my sister Chen just mentioned."
Chu Nanzhi began to elaborate: "This son of heaven came to the world mostly to save all living beings. Only the prosperity of the country, the people's well-being, and spring all over the world can be the way. Your majesty should stop taking the pills immediately, cultivate your mind and mind, and rise up to welcome the morning glow. Waiting for the stars to sleep, with a pure heart and few desires, regular work and rest, forgetting worries and thoughts and less anger, so that when the auspiciousness descends from the sky, Your Majesty will be able to achieve positive results."
"Auspiciousness from heaven?"
Lin Jinsheng immediately realized that the disasters that frequently occurred in various parts of the empire in these years were God punishing him, so he fasted in the palace and prayed to God in the past two years.
Standing up slowly, he held the corners of his lips tightly, and began to cough slowly again: "Since I ascended the throne, I have always cared about the common people and worried about the country, but I have more than enough energy, thinking that when the Dahe Empire was in its heyday, Ten thousand nations have come to court, but now they are in chaos, and it is all my fault."
"Your Majesty, you must not be disheartened."
The servant knelt down in fear and trepidation, and begged with all his might: "Your Majesty is just suffering from a minor illness by accident. Taoist Priest Chunhua has devoted himself to alchemy these years, and finally obtained this pill after spending several years of hard work. His whole heart is to revive His Majesty, Your Majesty." You must not let down the painstaking efforts of the Taoist priest, this servant firmly believes that your Majesty will be able to take the elixir and the dragon body will be healthy, this servant implores your Majesty to use the pill."
Yin Enci never liked that the emperor put too much faith in the Taoist priests in the Taoist temples. On the contrary, what the granddaughter-in-law said just now won his heart with reason and evidence.
After hesitating for a moment, she also waved impatiently at the servant: "Princess Ping Ning's words are reasonable, Xun Xian Dao should not be eager for success, it is a gradual process, and the auspicious day is not like today. You go and tell that Priest Chunhua, let him make a divination, and it will not be too late to ask His Majesty to take the elixir again."
Seeing that the old ancestor also came out to object, the servant didn't dare to force it anymore, so he got up resentfully and retreated.
