The Poor Monk Cultivates a Way

Liu Guanbai was startled and said, "How did this happen?"

Qi Ze said: "Today you are the protagonist, and we are just serving as a foil, as it should be."

Liu Guanbai saw that his intention was very firm, so he had no choice but to get in the carriage, and the four of them went to the Prince's Mansion.

The Yu Dynasty did not set up the Eastern Palace, and the Crown Prince had to live outside the imperial city. The mansion was naturally more luxurious. The Yu Dynasty had a millennium state, and the country was strong. The treatment of the Crown Prince was also different. The palace where he lived was vast, almost half the size of the Imperial Palace. .

In contrast, Liu Guanbai's car was too shabby, without a guard of honor, and without guards, it seemed like a poor and corrupt scholar going out, only three disciples accompanied him.

Qi Ze clasped his hands in his sleeves and looked around, like a poor boy from the countryside who just entered the city, the palace office acted as a commentator, introducing the surrounding scene in a humble voice.

After walking into the vicinity of the Prince's Mansion, he saw many armored men patrolling, and seeing four people coming in a car, someone came to question him immediately.

Heshan Yan naturally did his part, stepped forward and explained Liu Guanbai's identity, the leader's face remained unchanged, but his eyes showed contempt, and said: "Since the crown prince invites you, please come in!" With a wave, the hands naturally spread out.

He Shanyan snorted, turned around and drove the carriage, the leader saw Qi Ze and Gong Chuzhi, and suddenly asked: "Who are these two?"

Liu Guanbai was a little impatient, and was about to lift the curtain of the car to shout and curse, only to hear Qi Ze say with a smile: "We are the bodyguards of the Eighteenth Prince, and we will personally protect the Eighteenth Prince."

The leader looked Qi Ze up and down, he didn't know how much this ordinary young man could do, but it's normal for princes to bring several followers into the prince's mansion, and he had no right to stop him, saying: "Okay !” Get out of the way.

Only then did He Shanyan drive the chariot and horses, heading for the Prince's residence boldly. The so-called Wangshan running dead horse, clearly saw the Prince's mansion, but it took a full half an hour to arrive.

After the car arrived at the main gate of the Prince's Mansion, Liu Guanbai got out of the carriage, and his own servants went to report. Not long after, a middle-aged man in a Chinese robe came out of the mansion, and saluted Liu Guanbai: " It turns out that His Majesty the Eighteenth Prince is coming, please follow the villain into the mansion, the prince has been waiting for a long time!"

Liu Guanbai said: "These two are the elders of my sect, if you want to meet the prince with me, please inform the steward!"

The middle-aged man looked distressed, and said: "Your Highness also knows that the crown prince has never wanted to see outsiders, this..."

Qi Ze waved his hand and said: "I'll just wait in the mansion, don't make things difficult for him!"

Liu Guanbai hurriedly said: "Yes!"

The butler saw that the eighteenth prince was very respectful to the young man, and couldn't help showing a strange expression. After he led Liu Guanbai away, another middle-aged man came, with a somewhat haughty expression on his face, and said: "I am the fifth steward of the Prince's Mansion, you follow me! The Prince's Mansion has very strict rules, you are not allowed to walk around at will , or cause any trouble, the Eighteenth Prince will not be able to protect you!"

Gong Chuzhi saw that this dog looked down on him, and said deliberately: "Fifth Steward? Is the surname Wu?"

The five housekeepers said patiently: "My surname is Wang, and I am the fifth housekeeper in the Prince's residence!"

Gong Chuzhi smiled and said: "There are only five butlers in the prince's mansion, which is quite a rule!"

The fifth steward's complexion changed, and he said in a low voice: "I also know that you are cultivators and possess mana, so don't be too presumptuous. There are many capable people in the prince's mansion, and many of you were killed because you offended the prince! "

Qi Ze said: "I wait for the Taoist priests in the mountains, I don't know the etiquette, and I will not intentionally offend the prince. But if someone bullies you, I will not swallow it!"

The fifth housekeeper sneered and said, "It's better to be humble for a moment of calm!"

Qi Ze laughed, and followed the five housekeepers into the mansion. He Shanyan secretly felt it was funny, and thought: "In the past, how many times have I and the Eighteenth Prince looked down upon me? Now that I have a teacher as a backer, I can do whatever I want. It's a pity that Uncle Qi is a person who is indifferent to fame and wealth, otherwise he would be a high-ranking official. Lu, don't worry if he doesn't give his life to the Eighteenth Prince. Hey!"

Entering the mansion, the five housekeepers arranged the three of them in a small pavilion, and their own maids brought fragrant fruit refreshments. Wu Guanjia said: "The crown prince is summoning the eighteen princes, you just wait here!"

Qi Ze said: "Is there food and wine? Allow me to get drunk!"

The fifth housekeeper sneered and said, "Since you are the guards, how dare you drink and have fun? If you delay the business, are you asking for trouble?"

Qi Ze said with a smile: "You don't know my supernatural powers, so you can just drink a thousand catties, it's fine! Bring the wine!"

The fifth housekeeper sneered again and again, and clapped his hands. Without much effort, a maidservant brought a jar of fine wine.

Qi Ze stretched out his hand and patted the seal of the wine jar, sniffed it, and said with a smile: "It smells not bad!"

The fifth housekeeper sneered and said: "This is the royal wine bestowed by the palace, if it wasn't for the sake of the eighteenth prince..." Before he finished speaking, he saw the young man sucking a sip, and a line of wine fell into his mouth. In the meantime, there is no drop of a jar of fine wine left!

Qi Ze still didn't want to finish, he turned the wine jar and shouted: "Bring the wine!"

Although Gong Chuzhi didn't know why Qi Ze lost his temper suddenly, as a nephew, he could only cooperate and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you take the wine!"

The fifth housekeeper was furious, and shouted: "You don't even look at this place! How dare you act wild here?"

Qi Ze said with a smile: "Where do you care? I am the uncle of the Eighteenth Prince. If I ask you for some drinks, how dare you push back?"

The fifth housekeeper was startled, rolled his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Okay! Okay! I'll get it now, I'll get it right away!" Turning around and running, he secretly shouted: "This guy is clearly here to make trouble, and he will report to His Royal Highness , let him decide!"

Qi Ze shouted: "Bring a thousand catties of wine! Don't be stingy, if you miss one or two, you won't be able to eat it and walk around!"

The fifth steward staggered, and hurried into the inner mansion, found the chief steward, and shouted: "It's not good! It's a disaster!"

The big steward shouted: "What's the matter of panic? What's the matter!"

The fifth housekeeper told about Qi Ze's request for wine, and the first housekeeper frowned and said, "Isn't it just a thousand catties of wine? Give it to him! If you don't give it, it will appear that my prince's residence is stingy!"

Wu Guanjia said: "I'm just afraid that he will disturb the prince by drinking and making trouble!"

The housekeeper said: "Since he said he is the uncle of the eighteenth prince, he should behave properly. You go and prepare wine, and I will report it before the prince!"

The chief steward is deeply favored by the prince, so he can go in and out of the prince's bedroom at his own discretion. At this moment, the prince was chatting with Liu Guanbai, when he saw the chief steward coming in, he hesitated to speak, and asked, "What do you want to say? The eighteenth brother is not an outsider either. Just say it!"

The chief steward told about Qi Ze's matter, and said: "That man claims to be the uncle of the eighteenth prince, and the fifth son can't make up his mind, so please ask the prince for an order from His Royal Highness!"

The prince was born very majestic, wearing a yellow robe, but he is much older than Liu Guanbai, upon hearing this, he asked Liu Guanbai with a smile: "Old eighteen, is there such a thing?

Liu Guanbai said: "Back to the prince, what Uncle Qi said is true, since he is good at wine, I ask the prince to fulfill it!"

The prince smiled and said: "It really is your uncle? Then he is a master elder in the Five Elements Sect? Don't neglect it! Butler Wu doesn't know anyone and has been relegated to a job. Go and invite those two Five Elements Sect masters to the side Have a meal in the palace, I will go see it with the old eighteen later!"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on the butler's back, and he hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes!" Turning around and coming out, he cursed secretly: "Old Wu can't do things well, and I almost got involved with me!" He hurried to the back kitchen and ordered to prepare wine and dishes quickly, Then I went to the cellar where the wine was stored, and really took out a thousand altars of fine wine.

Finally, he rushed to the pavilion and said in a respectful voice: "I didn't know it was the fairy who arrived, but it was a small disgrace. I was ordered by the prince to ask the fairy to move to the side of the hall. Later, the prince and the eighteen princes came Come and meet the fairy!"

The fifth steward came here at this time, a little out of breath, the chief steward gave a wink, there was already a close servant who had quick eyes and quick hands, rushed forward and knocked the fifth steward down, gagged his mouth, and dragged him out fiercely.

Qi Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "The prince knows how to be courteous and virtuous, and corporals! Well, let's lead the way!" He brought Gong Chuzhi and He Shanyan into a side hall. Kabuki maids serve.

Qi Ze didn't care about anything else, went to the table, munched on the table, picked up a jug of fine wine and drank it, and greeted Gong Chuzhi and He Shanyan, and said with a smile: "Sit down and drink the fine wine!"

The Palace Office smiled, sat down, and drank heavily. He Shanyan saw that the two of them seemed to be acting wildly, so he turned his heart up and said, "I'm afraid that the sky will fall and these two will hold it up!" He also began to eat and drink.

Seeing that the three of them only cared about eating and drinking and did not come to look for him, the head steward felt relieved and hurriedly hid out, fearing that Qi Ze would catch him and make excessive demands.

The kabukis in the hall got the order and immediately began to sing and dance, but they heard the melodious voice of the singing and the enchanting dancing posture, which is indescribably charming.

Qi Ze has intensively cultivated the Xuanyin Sword Art, and is proficient in melody. He could only look at it with joy, and suddenly shouted: "This song is mediocre, it doesn't suit my heart! Let me play a song for you!" Pressing his big hand, there will be five Dao Jianqi flew out, divided into five colors of blue, white, black, red and yellow, symbolizing the five elements.

The five sword qi stood up like heavenly pillars, leading straight to the top of the hall, serving as qin strings. Qi Ze immediately played it with his hands, and the tune was melodious, singing in his mouth: "Two tigers, two tigers run fast! Run fast! One One has no eyes, one has no tail, how strange! how strange!"

Those kabukis had been immersed in the melody for a long time, and the songs he sang had a single tune, which seemed to be slang songs for children, unrefined, all of them were stunned, but they didn't dare to make a sound.

Qi Ze sang it twice, suddenly he was a little stunned, and said with a smile: "Sorry, I'm just kidding! Hahaha!"

Seeing Qi Ze playing an unknown tune in a wild manner, the Palace Office became even more strange, then saw Qi Ze standing up and shouting: "It was just an appetizer before, let's come to the dinner!"

With ten fingers lightly twirled, slowly twirled, touched and then picked, there was a voiceless song, which said: "The abbot has a door to go out without a key, and he saw a mountain boy showing his feet. Ask Abbot Yi why he is lonely, the way is empty and there is no light."

Hearing this, He Xinxin, the master is not an ordinary person. I can't see you when I come to visit, my heart is full of dust. Going back, the waves are vast, and the road enters Penglai Mountain. When Acacia went up to the stone building, the snow was clear and the sea was broad and thousands of peaks were dawning. "

His lyrics are very mysterious, and Qi Ze's singing voice is rough and exciting, resounding against the clouds, and spread out from the side hall, loud and clear, only lingering in the prince's mansion, the so-called lingering sound lingers for three days without a break.

When the kabuki heard the singing, they were all infected by the profound meaning in the words, and couldn't help singing in harmony in a low voice. Qi Ze sang it three times, attracting all the kabukis to sing in unison.

Qi Ze laughed out loud, and pointed with his finger, all the hundreds of jugs of fine wine radiated out into his mouth, swallowed up all the hundreds of catties of pure wine!

Suddenly someone laughed and said: "Good! Good! What a wonderful poem!" The prince had already entered the hall, and all the kabukis knelt down and saluted when they saw that it was the prince.

The crown prince ignored him, looked at Qi Ze, and said: "I heard from the old eighteen that the Taoist priest is the elder of his teacher, so he should not be neglected! I have always admired those who practice Taoism and practice Qi, and the Five Elements School is even more important. Pai, the leader of the righteous way, today I saw that it turned out to be the Quanzhen of the way, I am very happy!"

Poured hundreds of jins of fine wine at a time, even though Qi Ze's profound kung fu was profound, he was also a little bit drunk, he squinted at the prince, and said, "Who are you? I'll sing by myself, why should you judge? My Yaxing is very disappointing!"

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd turned pale, even Liu Guanbai's face was blank, he hurried forward and said: "Master Uncle, this is the current crown prince, don't be rude!"

While half drunk and half awake, Qi Ze suddenly remembered a famous story from his previous life, and deliberately smiled: "Prince? Who is the prince? I am a cultivator of the Tao, who eats the clouds and eats the breath, faces the blue sea and twilights, and is proud of the prince. What prince do you know?"

The prince still had a smile on his face, but his face sank slightly, and he said: "It seems that this real Qi is too strong to drink, come on, help real Qi to go to the study of this palace to rest!"

Qi Ze laughed, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Why help me? I'll go!" Suddenly he turned into a sword light, looked into the sky and left.

Liu Guanbai shouted: "Wait a minute, uncle!" The sword light suddenly trembled and landed on the hall again, everyone suddenly heard snoring loudly, it turned out that Qi Ze had fallen asleep soundly, snoring loudly!

All the kabuki covered their mouths and laughed, the crown prince frowned a little and said, "This..."

Gong Chuzhi was also a little puzzled, so he could only say: "I think Uncle Qi is too strong to drink, so he can't sleep soundly. It only takes a few hours, and he will be fine after the drink passes."

The prince said: "Forget it, we should send Daoist Qi to the study of this palace to rest! Eighteenth, you bring the elders of the Five Elements Sect to have a banquet with this palace!"

Immediately, several wrestlers stepped forward and carried Qi Ze away, but fortunately Qi Ze's body was light and weightless, which aroused the amazement of those wrestlers.

Gong Chuzhi wanted to follow, but he couldn't explain it clearly, he just felt that Qi Ze suddenly lost his composure and acted wildly, there must be a reason, so he went with the prince.

All the warriors carried Qi Ze into the inner mansion, outside the study was guarded by masters, and after hearing that it was the crown prince's order, they took over. The first general knocked on the door of the study, and someone in the study said: "What's the matter?" The voice was very impatient.

The general said: "There was a guest who was very drunk, and the crown prince ordered him to be sent to the study to rest."

After a while, the door of the study opened, and the person inside said: "Since the crown prince ordered it, just send it in!"
