Chapter 209 Confessions of a Master
Outside the Danbo Hall, Wang Shizhen and Wang Xijue paced anxiously. Whenever they walked to the open door of the hall, they wanted to stretch their necks and look in. However, they were blocked by the walls of the security department and could not see anything.
The two seemed to have heard the cry of the immortal master, but when they pricked up their ears, they could not hear anything. The two kings thought it was their own illusion, why did the immortal master cry? They must have heard it wrongly...
In Danbo Hall.
The noble and sacred Immortal Master Tanyang, who was kneeling in front of Zhao Hao at this time, admitted all kinds of absurd behaviors of using tricks to pretend to be immortals and lied that he was the incarnation of Tanluan Bodhisattva. There was also a clerk next to him making shorthands.
After hearing this, Zhao Hao sighed and said, "You daughter, you are not good at being a lady from a family. Why do you want to learn from those scammers who pretend to be a god?"
"Because I don't become a monk and become a Taoist priest, I have to be a widow for the rest of my life." Tan Yangzi said sadly: "Grandpa often said that my father and second uncle were both second in high school. We are now the highest-ranking family. Women can no longer remarry like before, which is as insulting as they used to."
"That's it..." Zhao Hao said with a clear expression: "But if you become a Taoist priest, why do you say you know magic?"
"Because my family always laughed at me!" Tan Yangzi said with an angry expression: "I have been yellow, thin and not good-looking since I was a child. I don't like girls, nor have the talent for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I don't even know how to manage the family and finances. I only like to study religion. The aunts and aunts in the clan look down on me and say that I am stupid and crazy, and I will definitely not be able to marry in the future!"
Zhao Hao recalled that when he first came to Taicang, he had seen Tan Yangzi. She nodded at the age of ten and was indeed very inconspicuous. If he hadn't known this little girl named Wang Gui, or the famous Tan Yangzi in the future, Zhao Hao wouldn't have looked at her more.
"Later, I finally got engaged to the Xu family, but my husband died before he got married, and I became a poor man again." When she said sad, she burst into tears and said:
"The mother-in-law comforted me on the surface, but behind my back she laughed at me for not being able to get married. I hated these foolish men and women and decided to take revenge on them! I know that they are the most superstitious and burn incense and kowtow all day long. It just so happened that I have studied Buddhist scriptures and Taoist books and alchemists since I was a child, and learned a lot of illusions. After becoming a monk, I decided to use these tricks to claim that I have magic power to cure diseases, fortune telling and begging children. As expected, they all bowed to me, and no one dared to laugh at me behind my back and say bad things like before."
"First of all, this is the ambition." Mr. Zhao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why do you have to be related to 'Long Shachen'? And you even said that he is Wang Chongyang's second?"
Tan Yangzi whispered: "Anyway, they are bragging, of course they are so big."
"Yes, the bigger the heart is, the bigger the stage is." Mr. Zhao nodded.
"At first, I enjoyed the feeling of being worshipped by someone as a god, and I was completely floating. Later, Wang Shiwang wanted to take me as his teacher, and when my head was hot, I agreed to accept him." Tan Yangzi said with a regretful expression:
"At that time, I just felt that if the leader of the literary world was a disciple, no one would dare to look down on me again in the future. But I didn't expect that Wang Shibo's power was so powerful that he expanded my influence a hundred times at once. Originally, I was only a little famous in Taicang, but since he became a disciple, the whole of Suzhou and even Jiangnan knew me, and there were even people who came to study from Jiangxi and Huguang. But I felt more and more uncomfortable."
"Why, I feel it's hard to get rid of a tiger?" Zhao Hao asked softly.
"Well. It's hard to get rid of a tiger." Tan Yangzi nodded vigorously and said, "After returning home, my father was angry, thinking that I had lost someone to the Wang family and wanted to serve my family law. It was Wang Shiwang who persuaded him, and I performed various illusions to make him believe that I was a man with great magic power. Wang Shiwang told him again that I was the immortal master of Yinglong Shachen and was destined to take 800 disciples as Earth Immortals. My father's head was hot and said that he could not fall behind, so he also took me as his teacher."
"If he dares to become a disciple, you dare to accept it?" Mr. Zhao said astonished: "It's really a tiger father without a dog."
"Since I was a child, my father didn't regard me as a monster. How can he be sad when he is a daughter?" Tan Yangzi said with a stern saying: "I can't let my father think that I'm turning my elbow out!"
"Oh, okay..." Zhao Hao couldn't help but sigh. The problem of the old Wang family's strong desire has been passed down from generation to generation, and no one can be missed.
~~
In another period of history, the two kings were criticized by the court for their apprenticeship of Tanyangzi the following year, saying that they were insulting ministers. However, Lao Wang had done several confusing behaviors in this life, and this time it was not bad.
And this guy has done so many unrestrained things and can become the chief assistant. This is the most confusing thing.
Tan Yangzi told Zhao Hao that as this farce grew bigger and bigger, the number of people involved became more and more widespread, and the development of the situation became less and less controllable.
"But not everyone believes in me." Tan Yangzi said with fear more and more: "My younger brother Wang Heng doesn't believe in me. He told me angrily that the fact that his father was taking me as a teacher has been a joke in their school. It's okay for his classmates to laugh at him, but some people think that our actions have affected the spread of science, and threatened to expose me and let the truth be revealed in the world!"
"There are also colleagues from all over the Xianshan Mountain to fight with me. Some censors even impeached their father and uncle and asked the court to thoroughly investigate me..."
Tan Yangzi covered his face in fear and cried, thrusting his shoulders:
"The ancients said that if virtue is not worthy of the position, there will be disaster. I will be honest and not deceived. I know that sooner or later, I will be exposed. At that time, I will harm my own family and another Wang family. At that time, they will not just say that I am a liar. They will definitely think that my father and Wang Shibo are not only aware of the situation, but also 80% of them are the mastermind behind the scenes. The charge of fooling the entire Jiangnan Shilin and even making bad plans is enough to make the two Wang families a laughing stock, and may even bring danger to the two families... I heard that both of our families have offended Zhang Xiangye."
"So you plan to ascend your body, and you'll be over?" Zhao Hao handed her a handkerchief and said.
"Yes." Tan Yangzi wiped his tears and nodded, "It won't work if he doesn't do this. Even if no one exposes it, my plan will not last long. I said that you can achieve something in five years of practice. Uncle Wang Shi has been in the fourth year. There are also those disciples who are ranked among the eight hundred earthly immortals who will become suspicious if they have no effect in their practice for a long time."
"Silly boy." Zhao Hao sighed, "Do you know how Taoism defeated?"
"How did you lose?"
"It's just that you are defeated by cultivating yourself and practicing this life! This is so difficult to achieve. How many people can ascend? Other big religions do not practice the next life, but practice after death. If there is no place to prove it, of course they will prosper for a long time." Mr. Zhao said earnestly.
"But cultivation will take effect quickly in this life, and it will be easy to recruit believers." Tan Yangzi whispered: "And the people around me seem to be more interested in this life."
"That's because you are surrounded by people! Of course, no matter how hard you live, you can't live enough." Zhao Hao snorted: "It's ridiculous that the daughter of a daughter who doesn't know the sufferings of the world and even claims to be the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva!"
"Uncle taught me a lesson. My niece also knew that she was ridiculous and did not dare to make mistakes again and again." Tan Yangzi cried, "I originally planned to ascend to the day when Tanluan Bodhisattva passed away in April, but something went wrong..."
"What's wrong?"
"I was scared and didn't dare to take the prepared poison." Tan Yangzi whispered: "But September 9th will definitely not repent this time, because there will be 100,000 people to watch the ceremony. And this time I'll prepare for the White Festival Black."
"Good guy..." Zhao Hao couldn't help but gasp. The so-called "White Festival Black" is the commonly known as the Silver Ring Snake. "What do you call "Surprising in the daytime is suicide in public?"
"I have no other way. No one can help me except for my personal maid." Tan Yangzi looked at Zhao Hao with tears in his eyes and said, "Unless Uncle can save his niece."
Zhao Hao frowned slightly, obviously Tan Yangzi had already made an appointment to find his attitude.
But this is normal. All charlatans will observe their words and expressions and understand human nature. Religion is a technique that can manipulate people's hearts. What kind of religion does not understand people's hearts do?
"Of course I can save you." Zhao Hao teased and said, "I'll ask your father to come in and make sure he won't beat you to death."
"Uncle, don't." Tan Yangzi was frightened. "If my father knew the truth, he would be furious to death."
"Then I can't watch you die." Zhao Hao said leisurely.
"Uncle, as long as my father doesn't know, I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I'll do it now." Tan Yangzi begged pitifully, "Uncle" and said.
"Okay, then I will reluctantly take your life." Zhao Hao nodded slightly, and the clerk on the side quickly submitted the transcript.
Mr. Zhao quickly browsed it and said with a smile: "Sign up first and then talk about it."
The clerk unfolded the book of confessions and placed it in front of Tan Yangzi, and brought pens and inks.
Tan Yangzi's face turned pale, but she did not expect that Uncle Zhao would be so rigorous in her work.
"Don't be afraid, as long as you are obedient from now on, this is just a file." Zhao Hao said like a human trafficker who abducted the little girl: "Be good, didn't you say you would do whatever you want?"
"Okay..." What else could Tan Yangzi say? He could only sign and press his handprints on each page according to the other party's requirements.
She finally understood that she could not forget his identity as the Lord of Jiangnan just because the other party looked very young.
Compared with this old fairy, his own Taoism is shallow...
Finally, Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I'll help you with this lie. Isn't it just as a flying daytime? It's just a trick, and it's still a matter of life and death?"
After a pause, he looked at Tan Yangzi again and said, "But there is one thing that after ascends, you can no longer show up in Jiangnan. You must stay with me in Nanyang."
"Ah..." Tan Yangzi was mixed with joy and sorrow when he heard this. Although he didn't have to die, he felt so terrible when he left Suzhou like heaven and went to the malaria land in the Southeast Asia.
Zhao Hao coughed lightly and knocked on her confession record book.
"Yes, my niece listened to my uncle." Tan Yangzi hurriedly smiled sweetly: "Anyway, my second uncle and my brother are all my uncle's disciples, and my grandfather's relationship is with me. The second uncle will never harm me."
