Please don't force me to be a god.

The villagers and the onlookers were shocked and a little bit unbelievable.

Is it true or not?

In ancient times, angels were imperial envoys sent by the emperor. How did they suddenly emerge from the crowd?

A middle-aged man with a white face and no beard, accompanied by five servants, squeezed out of the crowd.

The six people were dressed in luxurious clothes, but they were dusty and their clothes were covered with dust.

Mixed in the crowd, people couldn't recognize the clothes in the palace for a while.

Besides, in the sacred and solemn ceremony just now, even if someone recognized them, they didn't dare to call them casually.

These six people were the envoys sent by Emperor Anyou from Lin'an Prefecture.

They rode fast horses and took the post road all the way to Xiangyang City.

They should have entered Xiangyang City directly, but at the Shili Pavilion outside the city, they saw a large number of people leaving the city and were confused.

They sent someone to inquire and found out that the legendary immortal was going to collect zombies outside the city.

So, the eunuch delegation had an idea and mixed into the crowd to watch.

They carried simple ceremonial weapons with their horses, which were wrapped in cloth when they were on the road.

Only when the imperial edict was read, they were raised on both sides to represent the majesty of the emperor.

At first, the eunuchs saw that Zhang Tian's methods were simple and plain, far from the worship rituals seen in the palace.

It was not until they saw the "fake ghost" of Old Lady Shi appear that they felt that this immortal was really capable.

Later during the cremation process, everyone saw Zhang Tian keeping his mouth shut, and there seemed to be countless invisible Buddhas chanting around him, with flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses emerging from the ground.

The six eunuchs were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.

They were secretly shocked. Could this immortal be a great immortal in heaven?

He actually asked the Buddha in heaven to chant scriptures just to save a mortal!

In the court, it was like a country pariah died, but the ministers in the court were invited to carry the coffin.

It can be inferred that what kind of status does this immortal have in heaven? !

The eunuch originally wanted to go to Xiangyang City, inform General Guo to prepare for the reception, and then take out the imperial edict.

Now he was shocked by the scene in front of him, and dared not delay any longer, and hurried out to show up.

He was afraid that if he was slow, the immortal would know and blame him.

When he came, the emperor gave a death order to invite the immortal to Lin'an Prefecture.

If they couldn't invite him, they didn't have to go back.

Zhang Tian looked at the six people in front of him, four of them were holding ceremonial guards, and two of them were holding scrolls in their hands. It was so simple that it looked like a small-scale movie scene with insufficient funds.

So he asked Xu Wen: "Could this be fake?"

Xu Wen said: "This... they did appear too abruptly, but ordinary people would not dare to pretend to be angels."

Niu Er said: "I have received several imperial edicts with General Guo, and we will know once we check them."

Sure enough, six eunuchs approached Zhang Tian.

The eunuch handed over a token, Niu Er took it and looked at it carefully, and suddenly knelt down.

"Niu Xiaoli under General Guo, greets the angel."

Seeing this, Xu Wen also knelt down and said: "Xu Wen, the scholar, the disciple of the immortal master, greets the angel."

Xu Wen's status as a scholar can already initially enjoy the privileges of the scholar class.

Not only can he be exempted from certain taxes and corvée labor, but the government also sends him rice every month, which is considered half of the system.

When he saw the imperial envoy representing the imperial power, he naturally had to kneel down obediently.

The eunuch said, "Well, get up."

When Xu Wen and Niu Er stood up, the eunuch waved his hand and shouted to the five people behind him, "Kneel down and salute the immortal."

The five people behind the eunuch knelt down in unison, shouting "Greetings to the immortal", kneeling obediently and extremely respectfully, which was obviously the result of long-term training.

The leading eunuch held two scrolls in his hands and bowed his hands and said, "Imperial, please forgive my rudeness. I hold the imperial edict, representing the majesty of the emperor, and it is not easy to salute the immortal."

Zhang Tian said, "It doesn't matter. Just don't let me kneel."

Zhang Tian is a modern man, and kneeling is no longer popular in later generations.

No matter how high the level of the leader is, bending down to shake hands is the greatest respect, and others dare not accept kneeling.

If any official dares to let the people kneel to him, he will probably lose his job if the news gets out.

The eunuch said hurriedly: "I dare not. Before we set out, the emperor specifically instructed that the immortals do not have to follow the secular etiquette of the world."

"Well, that's good."

Zhang Tian had been struggling before. If the imperial power of this era asked him to kneel down, would he resist or submit?

Now that the other party is not forcing him, everyone is naturally happy.

The eunuch said: "My surname is Zhuo, my name is Ping, and the immortals can call me Xiao Zhuozi."

Zhang Tian looked weird. A eunuch in his forties asked others to call him Xiao Zhuozi? Even if he is well maintained, he can't be so willful.

"That Mr. Zhuo..."Gong, do you have the imperial edict from the emperor in your hand? "

"Eunuch Zhuo?" Eunuch Zhuo looked puzzled.

Seeing this, Xu Wen stepped forward and said, "Don't be surprised, Zhong Guiren. The immortal master is a celestial being who has descended to the earth and does not know the customs of the human world. Let me explain to the immortal master."

Xu Wen turned around and said to Zhang Tian, ​​"Immortal master, the angel is a person in the emperor's inner palace. We generally call him Zhong Guiren. Of course, immortal master, you can call him Xiao Zhuozi."

Zhang Tian was a little surprised: "Aren't eunuchs called Gonggong in this era?"

Xu Wen was a little dumbfounded and explained patiently: "That... Immortal master, eunuchs are the highest-ranking among all Zhong Guiren, and not every Zhong Guiren can be called eunuch."

"Oh, okay. The titles in this era are different from those in my era, so I will follow the local customs and call him Zhong Guiren."

Zhuo Ping hurriedly said, "I dare not be called a noble by a fairy, just call me Xiao Zhuozi. "

Zhuo Ping was even more shocked when he saw Zhang Tian always talking about "this era, that era".

Thinking that an immortal could live forever, he couldn't even figure out the names of eunuchs in the palaces of different dynasties, so he was naturally as humble as he could be.

"Well, little Zhuozi. Does the emperor have an imperial edict for me?"

Hearing the word "give", Zhuo Ping thought Zhang Tian was asking for an imperial edict, and couldn't help but look at Xu Wen for help.

Xu Wen said: "Master, according to the etiquette of the Nan'an Dynasty, you need to bathe, change clothes, and set up an incense table before the imperial edict is read out in public by the noble. ”

Generally speaking, if it is not an urgent imperial edict, the angels must bathe and change clothes first, and at the same time notify the person who receives the imperial edict to make preparations and set up the incense table, so that it will appear solemn.

Otherwise, an angel who came from afar and was covered in dust suddenly came to someone else's house and said he wanted to read the imperial edict.

What if the person who received the edict was not at home? Or in the toilet.

Where would the emperor's majesty be?

As a person in the inner palace, Zhuo Ping naturally did not dare to hand the imperial edict to Zhang Tian casually and damage the emperor's majesty.

If it was passed back to the palace, there would definitely be no good end.

But the immortal asked, and if he didn't give it, he was afraid that the immortal would be unhappy. Zhuo Ping had already started to worry about the messy things of reincarnation after death.

Xu Wen tactfully advised: "These secular etiquettes of the world naturally do not need to be followed by the immortal master. Just let the noble read it out, so that the immortal master does not have to look through it himself and be so tired, right? "

Zhang Tian knew that Xu Wen was trying to smooth things over, so he said, "In that case, follow your etiquette."

Zhuo Ping then let out a long sigh and couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Xu Wen.

Zhang Tian, ​​Xu Wen, and Niu Er were still riding in the carriage.

Zhuo Ping and his group of six rode on horses outside the village, played a ceremonial guard, and ran in front to act as a road-opener.

The crowd of spectators, who were several kilometers long, were whispering to each other. Before they returned to Xiangyang City, the news had already spread in Xiangyang City.
