Chapter 92

Thinking of this, Su unconsciously glanced at the Taoist, who was kneeling on the ground and looking at himself in fear. Su frowned and said to himself: the Taoist priest was a little immature. He didn't know where he was when his master was famous all over the world. Later, XuanZhen became more and more low-key. So it's not very strange that this Taoist priest didn't know XuanZhen's past deeds.

However, Su had some impressions of what happened at that time. That year, the small frontier countries were quite turbulent around the border. The emperor of the Chinese dynasty was so angry that he had to send a general to fight against them. However, because the emperor attached great importance to this campaign, he could not even decide the date of sending troops for a long time.

Later, someone selected immortal XuanZhen and asked him to figure out for the emperor which day was more suitable for sending troops to attack. It was the immortal XuanZhen who had a high reputation among the people, so when the people learned that the emperor was going to calculate the date of sending troops, they would jointly elect the immortal XuanZhen.

In order to make an open mind to listen to the public opinion, the emperor readily agreed. It is said that later the emperor specially set up a temple of heaven for XuanZhen to calculate the day. Immortal XuanZhen stayed in the temple of heaven for three days before giving the emperor a definite date.

At last, the emperor ordered the general to lead the troops according to that day. Only a month later, the general's victory was reported, saying that the enemy had been defeated and retreated, and our army had won a great victory.

For a time, the whole nation celebrated together, and the emperor was very happy. He set up a three-day water table in the palace to reward all the officers and soldiers, which was a great gift to the general. No matter whether the victory was related to the date of XuanZhen's calculation, according to the date given by XuanZhen, our army finally won a great victory, so the emperor also gave XuanZhen a lot of rewards, but they were all rejected by XuanZhen one by one.

XuanZhen took up his glass and respectfully offered a drink to the emperor sitting on the throne. Then he politely refused the emperor's reward: "tell the emperor that I'm just a villager in the mountains. It's all by luck that I sent out the troops. It's the general who really came back from the victory. The emperor should reward the general heavily. As for me, I can't afford this gift 。”

After hearing this, the emperor shook his head with a smile and said, "immortal Xuan, what he said is wrong. Whether the battle is good or not has anything to do with your calculated days or not, it can be said that you count it by your luck, but in the end, we have won the battle. Seven points depend on our strength and three points depend on our luck. We have won the battle this time. Is it a good chance Did you lose your luck? "

"This..." XuanZhen didn't know how to refute for a moment, so he had to drink all the wine in the cup.

The emperor also finished the drink with a smile and gently handed the cup to the maid. The emperor looked at real XuanZhen with a complicated look and said with a smile: "in fact, if the real person insists on not accepting my reward, I will not force him."

After hearing this, XuanZhen was stunned. He didn't understand what medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd. I can only stare at the emperor.

Sure enough, the emperor's words were not finished. The maid just now filled the cup which the emperor handed her with wine again, and then respectfully handed it back to the emperor. After taking the cup, the emperor took a sip of it, and then said to XuanZhen with a smile: "those rewards are nothing but personal belongings after all, and the real people will not pay attention to them. It's better for me to grant you an official post and let you work in the palace. In this way, I will be happy all the time I can find you to calculate the fortune and see which day is suitable for travel. In this way, there will be no adverse situation when going out. "

XuanZhen was surprised and nearly spilled the wine in the glass. The emperor had been observing his actions. Seeing him like this, he was a little annoyed. He picked his eyebrows. The emperor, who was high above him, exuded an air of domineering: "what? I don't want to, but I think it's wrong to let you stay in the palace? "

XuanZhen frowned and looked up at the emperor. After thinking about it, he finally said carefully: "Your Majesty, I'm used to wandering around. It's really not suitable for me to stay in the imperial capital. The reason why I came to calculate the day of the expedition for your majesty is that I'm a member of the Heavenly Kingdom. Look The foreign invaders were a little indignant, so they wanted to make a contribution to the heavenly kingdom by divining the day of the expedition for their majesty. "

So far, XuanZhen took a look at the emperor's face. The emperor's lips were thin, his face could not distinguish between sadness and happiness, but his whole body was full of cold breath.

XuanZhen stopped for a while, but continued: "Your Majesty, what I said just now is all from my heart. I don't have any intention to ask for the reward, and I'm really not competent for the position of the palace. I hope your majesty will let me go because I have done some divination for your majesty, and I'll do something for you."

When this remark came out, there was an uproar all around. Some people said that this XuanZhen Taoist was just a quack. He had accumulated eight generations of virtue. He was appreciated by the emperor after calculating a hexagram. However, he didn't appreciate it. It's really that he didn't know the good or the bad.

Some people say that the immortal XuanZhen is so bold that he defies the emperor's will. It seems that his head will not be protected.When the guests were in full swing, the emperor suddenly waved his sleeve and roared, "shut up! Shut up

There was a moment of silence under the seat. The emperor glared at the guests, snorted, locked his eyes firmly on Taoist XuanZhen, and said, "according to the meaning of the real man, is he determined not to stay in this palace?"

After hearing this, XuanZhen lowered his head and said, "I don't want to be here. I hope your majesty will succeed."

The emperor looked at him, shook his head and sighed: "in this case, I will not force you. After the banquet, you can leave the palace as soon as possible."

In fact, before the banquet was over, XuanZhen left early.

Since then, XuanZhen's deeds have been widely spread in the imperial capital. It was not only because he calculated the divination for the emperor and beat the army of the small frontier countries to pieces, but also because he was brave enough to refuse the emperor's reward.

However, it's strange to say that since this incident, few people have seen XuanZhen again. It's only later that they heard that he has retired to the mountains and taken in a few children without father and mother and made them his own disciples.

After a long time, and XuanZhen has been disappearing, the emperor's rumors about him are gradually less up.
