Chapter 691: beg for mercy

   Chapter 691 begging for mercy

   Duke of Wei.

   Taoist priest Wei Lingfu of the Chongsheng Temple met Hou outside the door, and when he saw Qin Ying being dragged out like a dead dog, his complexion changed drastically.

   "What happened?"

"Dare to lie to our Duke Wei, I'm impatient. The evil tricks have been seen through by the Lord at a glance. Now I will be escorted to the Jingzhao Mansion, paraded through the streets for three days, and then killed in the street!" A Qin family soldier disdainful the way.

  Wei Lingfu felt his scalp go numb, and his legs began to tremble involuntarily. Qin Ying has been in the market recently, and his reputation is still higher than him.

   "Chongsheng Temple Wei Daoist? The Lord is here!"

  Another steward came out of the hall and came forward to invite him.

   Wei Lingfu's feet were trembling, "Poverty Dao is suddenly in a hurry, can I borrow the latrine?"

  The steward smiled at him, "Master Zhang expected you to say this, so let's go into the living room first, and don't keep him waiting."

   "People have three urgencies. I really can't hold it anymore. I can't defile Mr. Qin."

   "Don't toast and don't eat fine wine!" The steward rolled his eyes, his gaze was like a sword.

  How could Wei Lingfu dare to enter the hall at this time? He is just a liar. Although he had managed to obtain a Taoist certificate before, since the imperial court eliminated monks and Taoists, he has comprehensively strengthened the management of Buddhism and Taoism.

  The unrestrained days of the past are gone. Apart from chanting scriptures and learning the Tao every day, you have to go to the fields to cultivate, otherwise you will not be able to eat, and you will even have to pay rent and tax according to the mu. And Wei Lingfu can't farm and plow the land. The crops planted by the Taoist priests in Guanli have almost no harvest, and they can't eat enough.

  If you are poor, you want to change.

Wei Lingfu couldn't do anything else, and then he had a crooked idea. There was an underground spring in the temple, so he and other Taoists cheated, first disguising the spring water, pretending that it was a spiritual spring gushing out of the ground. There is still so much magic in the present. Then they had people pretending to be blind and lame.

  Deliberately let the blind man fall into the spring when everyone came to watch the Lingquan, and then announced to the outside world after a few days that he saw the golden fairy in his dream and his eyes were healed.

   Then the **** also said that he had dreamed of the Golden Toad Fairy and asked him to drink the spiritual spring water, and he was really cured.

   Such a publicity attracted many people to watch.

Then Wei Lingfu often puts yellow toads into the spring. This toad is actually raised by him. This eye spring has become a spring of immortality.

People in the vicinity of   long came to ask for water one after another, and even many famous relatives came.

  Wei Lingfu made enough momentum, and then began to cut leeks. It costs three pennies for a bucket of water, which is more expensive than Guogong wine, and it is hard to find a water.

However, the water from the spiritual spring is limited, so Wei Lingfu and his gang often secretly pour water from other wells into the spring in the middle of the night, or put it into buckets and basins, etc., and directly claim that they have received it from the spiritual spring after dawn. , It is convenient to give to everyone, this money is full of money, and the name is full of Chang'an.

  Before receiving the invitation from the officials of the East Palace, he was very proud when he was given gold and silver from the crown prince to come to the Duke of Wei's mansion. He wanted to take this opportunity to increase the reputation of Jinchan Xianquan.

  Whoever imagined it, as soon as he came, he saw Daoist Qin Ying of Xihua Temple being dragged out like a dead dog.

  Zhan Zhan was "invited" into the hall in shock. Wei Lingfu hadn't stood up yet, and then Zhang Chao ordered him to sit on the ground in shock.

   "Bold monsters, dare to act monsters and cheat, why don't you just recruit them!"

   "Pin Dao is not lying." Wei Lingfu said tremblingly.

   "It is said that your spiritual spring water can cure all diseases, and can bring back the dead? As long as there is a breath, drinking your spiritual spring water can save you from the gate of hell? Even if you are not sick, drinking it will prolong your life?"

   "Exactly."

   "Oh, I also want to see this miracle, my lord. Come, break Wei Lingfu's four legs for me, and then give him some spiritual spring water to see if it can grow automatically!"

  The family soldiers over there immediately came up unceremoniously, knocked Wei Lingfu to the ground, and really wanted to beat him with a stick.

   "Don't fight, don't fight." Wei Lingfu has never seen such a scene. These days, the person who has been called a fairy teacher and a master all day long has long since disappeared.

   "Don't want to be beaten? Then get a glass of poisoned wine and see if you can bring the dead back to life!"

   Wei Lingfu begged for mercy all over the floor.

   "Are you willing to tell the truth? Is there a spiritual spring, is there a golden toad fairy?"

   "Yes, countless people can testify for the poor..."

"beat!"

   The sticks were mixed, and Wei Lingfu couldn't bear it after a few strokes. He did all the tricks, and it was all his partner who cheated.

  Qin Lang sat in a wheelchair and watched the scene with cold eyes. Anyone would believe such low-level deceptions. But think about it, even in later generations, a certain Master Wang who claimed to be able to come up with snakes from an empty pot had never been rumored, and even countless celebrities praised him as a bad mouth, and some even called him godfather.

   It can only be said that there are too many fools in this world to be fooled.

   "Confiscated the Chongsheng Temple, hung the toad raised by Wei Yao around his neck, paraded it in the street, and three days later, it was also shot on the street."

   "Where is that Zhu Lingling, is it here? Call in!"

Zhu Lingling was brought in directly, his legs were so scared that he couldn't walk, Qin Lang didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, let this magic stick who claimed to be able to refine the elixir bring him the elixir, and he have eaten.

Zhu Lingling was stuttering in fright, but he still had a special set of speech skills to deal with it. He said that Tiantai Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River was the place where the ancient gods gathered, and there were many spirit grasses. found. If the Duke of Wei can let him go to the local area to serve as the governor of a state, perhaps he can use the power of the state government to find this spiritual herb and refine the real elixir of life.

  Qin Lang would not understand this kind of speech.

  Let him take some so-called small longevity pills that he brought, that is, the small longevity pills that cannot truly live forever without fairy grass, but can cure all diseases and prolong life to a hundred years.

  Ask him about the method of refining and the materials used.

   Not surprisingly, Zhu Lingling's so-called "Little Longevity Pill" also boiled mercury as an elixir, and added various materials such as lead nitrate. It was a chemical experiment.

   If you take this kind of elixir, let alone immortality, you will die faster. Alchemy with mercury will definitely cause chronic mercury poisoning. Even if the content is not large, long-term use will cause symptoms such as excitability, tremors, stomatitis, and personality changes such as irritability, irritability, or suspiciousness.

  Historically, many emperors in the Tang Dynasty were superstitious about elixir and wanted to live forever. Li Shimin’s generation of sage emperors all set a precedent for emperors in the Tang Dynasty to take elixir to seek longevity. In the end, they died in their early fifties, which had a lot to do with taking elixir.

  However, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty always felt that the way of taking it was wrong, and they never thought there was a problem with the longevity pill.

Mercury, sulfur, saltpeter, lead, all kinds of weird longevity pills, but the raw materials are all poisonous to kill people, even gunpowder. Explosions caused by the mixing of several materials were discovered.

   "Since you said these are small longevity pills, then eat them all."

   A large amount of elixir was placed in front of Zhu Lingling, but he dared not eat it. Although many Taoist priests themselves believed in pills, most of them didn't. They knew what they were using.

   Not to mention eating such a large amount of pills indiscriminately together, it will kill people.

  But Qin Lang doesn't care about these, you claim to be all elixir, so take it.

   If you can’t die today, continue to eat tomorrow, and let you eat for a year or so.

  Zhu's inspiration collapsed, how can there be such a way of doing it.

   Usually, the words that are very useful in front of those nobles and celebrities are useless to Qin Lang. Those people have a little bit of expectation, so they will believe his words, but Qin Lang doesn't believe it at all.

   A handful of pills stuffed into the mouth.

  Zhu Lingling struggled violently, scratching his throat to induce vomiting.

   "Why is the Daoist wasting these elixirs? Come on, feed them to the Daoist!"

   Zhu Lingling cried, he didn't want to die.

  I have to confess that the elixir was just randomly refined by him according to a few alchemy books, and it cannot live forever, let alone cure all diseases. What can be reborn by taking elixir, even if you die, you can disintegrate your body and ascend to immortality, it is actually a deception.

   "Pull it down, parade it in the street, and die in the street three days later!"

  Qin Lang waved his hands in disgust.

   "Order the Jingzhao Prefecture to immediately rectify the deceitful behavior of the monks and nuns in the temples and temples in Gyeonggi.

  Xing Xin stood in the hall, somewhat at a loss.

  At first, I thought I was doing business for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, and sent a few immortal masters to see a doctor for Duke Wei, so that I could show my face to Duke Wei, but who knew that such bad things would happen.

   "Qin Xianggong, the slaves really don't know that these people are liars."

  Qin Lang looked at this pale guy, "You were just deceived by them, the truth will not blame you."

   "The servant has retired."

"etc."

  Qin Lang called to stop Xin, staring at him all the time, feeling terrified, fearing that Qin Lang would wave his hand and call out his own soldiers to drag him into the street as well, and then three days later, he would be rode to death in the street.

   "What else is Prime Minister Qin doing?"

   "You said you were born as a happy boy in Taichang Temple?"

"Yes."

   "Then what musical instrument do you know?"

   "The servant girl can play the flute."

   "Prince really likes to listen to the flute, so you stay at my house, where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, and I will send someone to explain."

  Xingxin never expected it to be like this, he hesitated to refuse, and was afraid of offending Qin Lang, so he was very embarrassed.

   "Why, could it be that the truth can't accommodate you here?" Qin Lang emphasized his tone, his frightened face paled, and he hurriedly explained, "The servant is afraid that His Royal Highness will need the servant to serve you."

   "Tell the truth to His Highness, His Highness will give me this face, so you can stay."

  Satisfied and helpless, "Let the slaves go back to the East Palace first, and return to His Highness before coming back."

   "No, you just stay, the truth is, send another person to return."

  Although Xinxin is tall and handsome, but his status is humble, he is just a music boy in the inner teaching workshop under the Taiyue Department under Taichang Temple. In fact, he is a court slave, learning instrumental music, and will be an apprentice who will be responsible for playing court instruments in the future. With such an identity, the crown prince can take him from Neijiaofang to the East Palace with a single sentence, and Qin Lang can naturally ask him to come from the East Palace with a single sentence.

   After all, he is the prince's teacher, just a happy boy, how could the prince not give it?

  Zhang Chao moved closer to Qin Lang, "Since when did Sanlang have the habit of splitting peaches and cutting sleeves, and he actually eats both men and women?"

   "Get out, I really want to have that hobby, and I also hired you first."

   Zhang Chao felt nauseous for a while, and quickly covered his buttocks and slipped away, "Don't, don't, if you are slept by a man, then I won't live."

Xinxin was on the side, and vaguely heard the words of Fentao, Duanxiu, and Longyang, and his complexion changed drastically. He looked at Qin Lang with a pale face, and couldn't help being frightened, "Qin Xiang, this servant only Know how to play that flute, but not this flute..."
