Chapter 690
Duke Wei’s Mansion.
When the Taoist priest Wei Lingfu of Chongsheng Temple met outside the gate, he saw Qin Ying, who was dragged out like a dog, and his expression changed drastically.
"What happened?"
"I dare to cheat on our Duke Wei, and I am impatient to live. The devil's trick was discovered by the Duke at first sight. Now I have to escort the Jingzhao Mansion, parade for three days, and then be killed as a stud!" A soldier from the Qin Mansion said disdainfully.
Wei Lingfu felt his scalp numb and his legs began to tremble involuntarily. Qin Ying was in the market recently, and his fame was still above him.
"Master Wei, Chongshengguan? The prince is welcome!"
Another manager came out of the hall and came forward to invite him.
Wei Lingfu's feet trembled, "I suddenly became anxious. Can I borrow the cottage?"
The manager smiled at him, "Master Zhang had expected you to say this, so he should go to the hall first, don't let the master wait for a long time."
"I have three urgent needs. I really can't hold it in. I can't taint the Qin Gong."
"Don't toast or not eat the punishment!" The manager's eyes turned, his eyes like a sword.
Wei Lingfu did not dare to enter the hall at this time? He was just a liar. Although he had tried to obtain the Taoist certificate before, he had completely strengthened the management of Buddhism and Taoism since the imperial court deposed monks and Taoism.
The days of such a leisurely life in the past are gone. In addition to chanting scriptures and learning Taoism every day, they have to go to the fields to farm, otherwise they will not be able to eat food, and they even have to pay rent and tax on a mu. However, Wei Lingfu did not farm and cultivate the land. The crops planted by Taoist priests in Guanli had almost no harvest and could not even eat enough food.
If you are poor, you will think of change.
Wei Lingfu had no other way, so he later had a bad idea. He saw that there was an underground spring in his sight, so he cheated with other Taoists. He first pretended to be the spring water, lying that it was a spiritual spring that suddenly surged out of the underground. There were many magical things in the spring. Then he found someone to disguise himself as a blind and a lame person.
He deliberately let the blind man fall into the spring when everyone came to watch the spiritual spring, and then after a few days he declared to the public that he saw the golden immortal in his dream and his eyes were getting better.
Then the lame man also said that he dreamed of the Golden Toad Fairy and asked him to drink the Spirit Spring Water, which was really cured.
Such publicity attracted many people to watch.
Then Wei Lingfu often put yellow toads into the spring. This toad was actually raised by him. It appeared and disappeared from time to time, making it extremely mysterious. In conjunction with the legend of the Golden Toad Fairy, the spring in Chongsheng Temple became an immortal spring for a time.
The people nearby rushed to ask for water, and even many noble families came.
Wei Lingfu made a lot of effort and then started cutting leeks. Three guan of money and one dou of water was sold, which was more expensive than the national wine, and it was hard to get a lot of water.
The water in the spiritual spring was limited, so Wei Lingfu and his gang often secretly poured water from other wells in the middle of the night into the spring, or put it into buckets, etc. After dawn, they directly claimed to have been taken from the spiritual spring, which was convenient for everyone to give it to them. The money was made in full bloom and the reputation of Chang'an was full of fame.
He received an invitation from the officials of the Eastern Palace before, and received gold and silver from the crown prince and asked him to come to the Duke of Wei's mansion, he was very proud, thinking of taking this opportunity to make the famous Golden Toad Fairy Spring a little more.
Who would have thought that as soon as he came, he saw Taoist Qin Ying from Xihuaguan being dragged out like a dead dog.
Zhan Zhan was in shock and was "invited" into the hall. Before Wei Lingfu could stand up, he was frightened by Zhang Chao's order and sat on the ground.
"A bold demon, if you dare to cheat, you won't be able to bring it truthfully!"
"I'm not lying to anyone." Wei Lingfu said tremblingly.
"Your spiritual spring water is said to cure all diseases, and can kill all kinds of diseases. As long as you have a breath, you can save your spiritual spring water from the gate of hell? Even if you are not sick, you will be able to prolong your life after drinking it?"
“It’s true.”
"Oh, then I want to see how amazing it is. Come on, break the four legs of Wei Lingfu, and then give him some spiritual spring water to see if it can grow automatically!"
The soldiers from there immediately came up without hesitation and pressed Wei Lingfu to the ground, and really carried a stick to beat him.
"Don't beat me, don't beat me." Wei Lingfu has never seen such a scene. He has been called an immortal master and a master all day long.
"I don't want to be beaten? Then I'll get a glass of poisonous wine to see if I can bring myself back to life!"
Wei Lingfu begged for mercy all over the ground.
"Are you willing to tell the truth? Is there a spiritual spring or a golden toad fairy?"
"Yes, countless people can prove it for me..."
"beat!"
He used all the sticks and could not withstand it in just a few strokes of Wei Lingta. He had all tricks, and he had cheated them together.
Qin Lang sat in a wheelchair and watched the scene coldly. People believed these low-level scams. But think about it, even in later generations, Master Wang, who claimed to be able to come to an empty pot, had a rumor, and even countless celebrities praised him for his stinky mouth, and even called him godfather.
I can only say that there are too many fools in this world and I can't deceive you.
"Check Chongsheng Temple, hang the toad that Wei Yao raised around his neck, paraded in the streets, and killed the streets after three days."
"Where is that Zhu Lingtan? Are you here? Call in!"
Zhu Lingtan was directly brought in, so scared that he couldn't walk anymore. Qin Lang was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, so he asked this charlatan who claimed to be able to refine immortal medicine to take the elixir he brought with him.
Zhu Lingtan was so scared that he stuttered, but he also had a set of special rhetoric to deal with it. He said that in Tiantai Mountain in Jiangnan, there were many spiritual herbs. Although he knew it, his ability was limited and he could not find it. If Duke Wei could let him go to the local area to be the governor of a state, he might be able to use the power of the state government to find this spiritual herb to refine the real elixir of immortality.
How could Qin Lang not understand this kind of speech?
He asked him to take some of the so-called small immortal medicines that he brought, that is, the small immortal pill that cannot truly live without the immortal herbs, but can cure all diseases and prolong life for a hundred years.
Ask him how to refine and the materials he used.
As expected, Zhu Lingtan's so-called small immortal pill is also a pot of mercury as an immortal medicine, and it also adds various materials such as lead and nitrate, which is definitely a chemical experiment.
If you take this elixir, you will probably die faster if you take it. Mercury alchemy will definitely cause chronic mercury poisoning. Even if the content is not large, long-term use will also lead to symptoms such as excitation, tremor, stomatitis, etc., and will become irritable, irritable or suspicious.
In history, many emperors of the Tang Dynasty believed in elixirs and wanted to live forever. Li Shimin, a sage emperor, set a precedent for the emperors of the Tang Dynasty to take pills and seek immortality. In the end, they died in their early fifties, which also had a lot to do with taking pills.
However, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty always felt that the way they took the food was wrong, and they never thought there was something wrong with the thing called "Yangsheng Dan".
Mercury Pill, sulfur Pill, saltpeter Pill, lead Pill, and all kinds of strange immortality pills, but the raw materials are all murderous poisons, and even gunpowder. Historically, it was discovered by Taoist priests accidentally mixing several materials when they refined the immortality pill.
"Since you said these are the little immortal pills, then eat them all."
A handful of elixirs were placed in front of Zhu Lingtan, but he dared not take it. Although many Taoist priests themselves believed in elixirs, most people actually didn't believe it. They themselves knew what they were using.
Not to mention that eating such a large number of elixirs together will kill people.
But Qin Lang doesn’t care about these things. If you claim to be all elixirs and elixirs, then take them.
I can't die from eating today, so I will continue to eat tomorrow. Let you eat it for a year or two.
Zhu Lingtan collapsed, how could he do this?
The words that are very effective against those nobles and famous scholars are useless to Qin Lang. Those people have little expectations and therefore believe his words, but Qin Lang doesn't believe them at all.
A handful of elixir was stuffed into your mouth.
Zhu Lingtan struggled violently, sucking his throat and inducing vomiting.
"Why did the Taoist priest waste these elixirs and elixirs? Come and feed the Taoist priest again!"
Zhu Lingtan cried, he didn't want to die.
He had to confess that the immortal pill was just refining it according to a few elixirs. It could not live forever, nor could it cure all diseases. Taking elixirs can be reborn, and even if he died, he could be able to become a corpse and ascend to immortality. In fact, it was a scam.
"Put down, parade in the street, and be killed as a scepter in three days!"
Qin Lang waved his hand in disgust.
"Then the command of Jingzhao Prefecture to immediately comprehensively rectify the behavior of monks, nuns and Taoists using talismans to deceive the world and deceive people. At the same time, they also strengthened the crackdown on medical practitioners and sorcerers. Once discovered, they would be arrested and interrogated immediately...
Standing in the hall with satisfaction, a little at a loss.
I thought that today I would do my business for His Royal Highness, so I sent several immortal masters to treat Duke Wei. I could show off my face to Duke Wei, but who knew that there were so many bad things.
"Mr. Qin, I really don't know that these people are liars."
Qin Lang looked at the pale guy, "You are just deceived by them, you won't blame you."
"Then I surrender."
"etc."
Qin Lang cried out and stared at him. He felt furious, afraid that Qin Lang would wave his hand and call out his personal soldiers to take him to parade in the streets, and then he would be killed as a stud in the street three days later.
"What else does Prime Minister Qin?"
"You said you were born as a Letong in Taichang Temple?"
"Yes."
"What kind of instrument do you know?"
"I can play the flute."
"I like listening to the flute very much, so you stay in my mansion. I will send someone to explain the situation when the crown prince."
Shuixin never expected this to happen. He didn't want to refuse, and he was afraid of offending Qin Lang, so he was in a dilemma.
"What, can't I tolerate you here?" Qin Lang increased his tone, and was so scared that he was so scared that he explained hurriedly, "I am afraid that the Crown Prince needs my servant."
"I spoke to Your Highness. Your Highness will give me this face, so you can stay."
Helpless, "I will return to the East Palace first, report to Your Highness before coming."
"No need, just stay here, I will send someone else to report my life."
Although he is handsome, he has a low status. He is just a musician in the Neijiaofang under the Taile Office under the Taile Bureau under the Taichang Temple. He is actually a court slave who learns instrumental music and is responsible for playing palace instruments in the future. With such an identity, the prince can take him from the Neijiaofang to the East Palace with just one word, and Qin Lang can naturally come from the East Palace with just one word.
After all, he is the prince's teacher and just a happy boy. How could the prince not give it to him?
Zhang Chao came to Qin Lang, "When did Sanlang have the habit of splitting peaches and breaking his sleeves, and he actually took both men and women?"
"Get out, I really have that hobby, so I'll use you first."
Zhang Chao felt disgusted and quickly covered his butt and slipped away, "Don't, don't be sleeped by a man, then I won't live anymore."
