Chapter 899: Lame Two(1/2)
The next day,
It was just dawn, and there were people waiting outside the palace where Jiang Hao lived early. Some waiters knocked on the door and suddenly there were more than a dozen maids in the palace, some carrying buckets and some holding basins, and the maids were holding clean robes.
"Doctor Jiang, the government orders, that the sacrifices at Chenshi have officially begun, and Your Majesty still gets up and takes a shower and changes his clothes." said a palace man.
Jiang Hao looked at the sky outside, and the man was really anxious.
Suddenly, four beautiful maids came to help Jiang Hao untied his clothes. After removing the clothes, the four girls helped Jiang Hao into the wooden barrel. Then everyone stepped forward, some helped to wash their hair, and some scrubbed their bodies. Jiang Hao only had to close his eyes and enjoy it.
After washing up, changing his clothes and Jiang Hao followed the waiter to the back garden. At this moment, the back garden had been surrounded by heavy troops. The altar in the pavilion had been laid, offering three animals, four fruits, grains and other items. Several cushions were placed on the ground.
The First Emperor was already waiting by the side, and saw Jiang Hao coming over and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"Your Majesty just stand aside. When my prayer is over, I will sit cross-legged with me to express my piety. But Your Majesty doesn't have to learn from me. You can get up and rest when you are tired." Jiang Hao said.
"I understand, start the sacrifice."
Jiang Hao reached out and took out the jade seal of Fang Tianshi from his cuff, placed it on the platform, and then performed the Taoist rituals during worship. Jiang Hao had only participated in the Maoshan worship ceremony once before, but he still remembered the etiquette.
A worship was very complicated. After about half an hour, Jiang Hao slowly sat on the cushion. When Qin Shihuang saw it, he also sat down. He imitated Jiang Hao's eyes closed and contemplated. Zhao Gao's eyes shook. At this moment, there were only the three of them in the room, so he also quietly sat down cross-legged.
Time passes minute by minute.
Jiang Hao usually sleeps by practicing martial arts, and sits for a whole night, and he doesn't feel tired at all, but Qin Shihuang is tall and a little fat. He feels uncomfortable when sitting, and soon he feels numb in his legs.
I opened my eyes and looked at Jiang Hao, but I didn't move at all. I thought about it and continued to close my eyes.
Time ticks and never stops.
From morning to noon, from noon to evening, Qin Shihuang and Zhao Gao couldn't hold on for a long time. They had already gotten up several times, ate and went to the toilet, and Jiang Hao always sat there motionlessly, like a clay sculpture. However, this made Emperor and Zhao Gao admire him.
At night, Jiang Hao still didn't wake up, and his breathing became much weaker.
In fact, Jiang Hao has entered a state of deep cultivation at this moment. He has gained a lot of benefits from Lu Zhi before and has not practiced silence practice well. This time it is a good opportunity. Jiang Hao is preparing to use these three days to temper his spiritual energy.
Practice and show off!
One day and one night passed, and Qin Shihuang came the next day and asked the guardian, and learned that Jiang Hao was still motionless last night.
Qin Shihuang thought about it, and the hope that arose in his heart became bigger and bigger. He silently put it on the cushion and sat up quietly.
one day,
Two days,
Three days,
During these three days, Jiang Hao never ate a bite of rice or drank a sip of water, nor did he get up and stayed up in a hurry, and he remained motionless, just like a clay statue.
Look at the time, three days have arrived, Qin Shihuang is already a little anxious and thinks, isn’t something wrong with Jiang Hao?
Just then, a voice sounded,
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Taoist Ancestor passed on the great Dharma!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Hao slowly stood up. Qin Shihuang found that Jiang Hao's face was rosy, and he definitely didn't look like he was sitting for three days and three nights without water. However, now it was not the time to think about this. Qin Shihuang asked excitedly: "Have you really taught the martial arts? What is it?"
Jiang Hao nodded, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Daozu, for teaching the martial arts, called the "Five Emperors Sutra"!"
"Five Emperors Sutra? What does it mean? Tell me quickly." Qin Shihuang said hurriedly.
"Huangdi, Zhuanxu, Emperor Ku, Yao, Shun, and the five great emperors are all disciples of the Taoist ancestors. The exercise they practice is the "Five Emperors Sutra", which is the supreme wonderful method. After practicing it, you can ascend to the immortal world and enjoy the honor of a saint. This exercise is most suitable for Your Majesty." Jiang Hao said.
Qin Shihuang was very happy that he not only became an immortal but also had such a high status. This result made him very satisfied.
"Your Majesty also asks you to order someone to bring you pen, ink and silk cloth. I will write down the "Five Emperors Sutra" for Your Majesty." Jiang Hao said.
When Qin Shihuang heard this, he immediately shouted, "Zhao Gao, get ready."
"It's Your Majesty, I'll do it right away."
Before long, everything was ready. Jiang Hao stood at the table and started writing. While meditating, he had compiled the contents of the Five Emperors Sutra.
"The Five Emperors Sutra" is the essence of the great way, the darkness and darkness, the extreme of the great way, the gangster silently, embrace the spirit and keep quiet, and the body is immortal..."
"The four realms of cultivation of Taoism, refine essence into qi, refine qi into spirit, refine spirit into emptiness, refine emptiness into Taoism..."
"..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
A "Five Emperors Sutra" that Jiang Hao himself understood and compiled was freshly released. Jiang Hao was not stingy, and was free and easy to deliver 6,600 words to the First Emperor.
The First Emperor was excited and laughed with the silk book, "I finally got the immortal book, and I can pursue the great way of immortality from now on." He turned to Jiang Hao and said loudly: "Now I will give you the title of "Taizhu Ling" to be in charge of the national sacrifices and prayers."
Jiang Hao knew that Taizhu Ling, the three dukes and nine ministers, the first of the nine ministers was Fengchang, also known as Taichang. There were six officials under Taichang, Taile, Taizhu, Taizai, Taishi, Taibu, and Taigong. If the current words were said, the nine ministers were the ministers of the same department, then Taizhu was the deputy minister in charge of a part of affairs. This status was already very high and he was a senior official in any dynasty.
What is Taizhu's job? When you are in the midst of heaven and man, you can tell the gods with words, welcome the gods to send the gods during sacrifices, and use them to show their devils and gods to pray for blessings and good fortune, and seek eternal chastity. Taizhu usually lives in Taizhu's words, and some places similar to Taoist temples. Usually, when there are major events, they need to pay homage to heaven and earth during the New Year and Festivals, they will only be used. For example, Qin Shihuang went to Mount Tai to Fengshan, Taizhu must be indispensable.
The imperial physician servants before him were originally under the Imperial Physician Order. Under the Imperial Physician Order, there was an Imperial Physician under the Imperial Physician Order. Jiang Hao calculated that at most one department-level official was at the level of the department.
Now he has jumped from department level to deputy ministerial level.
"Your Majesty, I am exhausted, so I ask to go back and rest." Jiang Hao said weakly.
When Qin Shihuang saw it, he immediately agreed, "Okay, go rest. I will also go back and study the Five Emperors' Sutras. I will summon you again in a few days."
Jiang Hao bowed to say goodbye, and the palace servant led him out. Zhao Gao had already made arrangements to send Jiang Hao back to the inn.
Jiang Hao pushed open the door and alarmed Lu Zhi. Seeing that it was his husband who was back, he ran over and threw himself into Jiang Hao's arms, "Mr., I've been worried about the death of zhi in the past few days."
Jiang Hao gently touched the woman's smooth little face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if something goes wrong, I can still run out. The people in the palace can't keep me. I haven't taken a shower for three days. I have to take a good bath, and also, call for delicious food on the table."
"Does the First Emperor care about food?" Lu Zhi asked curiously.
"Haha, I really don't care about food."
......
After Jiang Hao left, the First Emperor carefully studied the "Five Emperors Sutra". Zhao Gao was serving him, but his heart seemed to have grass growing. He always wondered whether Jiang Hao had asked for the Dharma with Daozu, or whether Jiang Hao had asked for him, and whether Daozu had agreed to pass it on to him.
At this moment, Zhao Gao only felt that he was stinging his heart and lived a life of like a year.
At noon, it was noon. A palace maid came in with a tray. There was a jade box on it, and next to the jade box was a jade bowl with a bowl of clear water inside. The palace maid came to the front of the First Emperor and knelt down respectfully, "Your Majesty, it's time to take the pills."
This palace servant specializes in serving the First Emperor to take elixirs, one pill every day at noon and evening, and it cannot be struck by thunder.
According to the past management, the First Emperor reached out and opened the jade box, exposed the cinnabar-red elixir inside, and pinched a peanut-sized elixir and put it into his mouth. This was Zhao Gao's words: "Your Majesty, Jiang Taizhu said before that the lower-grade elixir is poisonous. Now you have obtained the method of cultivating immortals. Do you still need to take elixirs?"
Qin Shihuang paused slightly, looked at the pills in his hand, suddenly smiled and said, "Do you think Jiang Hao is an immortal or a human?"
Zhao Gao didn't know what the First Emperor meant, but he quickly replied: "Of course he is a human."
"Haha, if you are a human being, you have selfishness. I admit that Jiang Hao is powerful, and he will inevitably betray the selfishness of ordinary people. Now that he comes to me and wants to get my favor, he will naturally belittle those alchemists. What do you think?"
Zhao Gao is a conspirator, so he naturally understands this truth.
The First Emperor put the red pill into his mouth, picked up the jade bowl next to him and took a sip, and sent it down, then said: "In the future, I will practice the "Five Emperors Sutra", I will also take this pill, and I will increase my strength to find the fairy grass. Didn't Jiang Hao say that lead and mercury can only refine low-grade pills, and immortal grass can refine medium-grade pills, which can replenish the body and refresh the spirit and assist in cultivation. In this way, I will use all the upper, middle and lower grades together, and the best effect will be achieved."
Speaking of this, Qin Shihuang took out another one from the box and put it in his mouth. Zhao Gao was shocked and immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't those alchemists say that you can only eat one at a time and only take two pills a day?"
The First Emperor smiled, "It's okay. Increase the amount of medicine and you can become an immortal as soon as possible. Even if it is poisonous, you are not afraid. Can Jiang Hao detoxify me? At that time, you will have another detoxification talisman."
Zhao Gao thought about it and what the First Emperor said was right.
"By the way, don't tell Jiang Hao about taking pills, so as not to think that I don't trust his immortal skills." Qin Shihuang said.
"I understand." Zhao Gao responded immediately.
The medicine came up, and the First Emperor only felt comfortable and relaxed, floating like an immortal, slowly leaning on the soft collapse and squinting his eyes to enjoy it. He didn't know what those alchemists added to the elixirs.
He served until the evening, and the First Emperor finally waved to Zhao Gao, "You don't need to serve him anymore, go and rest."
Zhao Gaoru received a general amnesty and respectfully left the hall. Then he walked out of Xianyang Palace all the way, got on a carriage and ordered the emperor: "Hurry up, go to the inn to find Jiang Taizhu."
The carriage drove across the stone road and made a clamor. The carriage stopped at the entrance of the inn. Zhao Gao didn't need the driver to help him, so he jumped down and strode into the inn.
At this time, the inn was already holding the lights. When the inn owner saw that the person was wearing an official robe, he immediately came over to salute. Zhao Gao looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Take someone to Jiang Hao's room."
"Yes, the villain took the master over." The inn owner did not dare to neglect.
When he knocked on the door, a woman's voice came from inside. Lu Zhi walked to the door and gently opened the door. She saw a tall and white-faced old man standing outside, wearing an official uniform. She was so sensible that she had some guesses in her heart.
"Who are you?"
Zhao Gao looked at Lu Zhi carefully. This woman was very beautiful. In Jiang Hao's room, it seemed that Jiang Taizhu was also a beauty lover. Zhao Gao then smiled and said, "I am Zhao Gao, so I'm here to see Jiang Taizhu."
"Jiang Taizhu?" Lu Zhi didn't know that Jiang Hao had been promoted.
At this moment, Jiang Hao came out of the inner room and saw Zhao Gao coming over to bow to him, "I have met the Lord of the Mansion."
Zhao Gao smiled and said, "Jiang Taizhu is so polite. I am the CRRC Mansion Order. You are the rank of Taizhu. Now we are at the same level."
"How dare you? The Lord of the Mansion invites you in. I still want to see you tomorrow." Jiang Hao said.
Zhao Gao laughed awkwardly, "Haha, am I in a hurry to wait."
When they arrived in the room, the two of them sat down, Zhao Gao couldn't wait to ask: "Jiang Taizhu, have you ever asked Taizu for me?"
Jiang Hao nodded with a smile, "I asked."
"Then, have you ever passed down the immortal method?"
At this moment, Zhao Gao's heart was in his throat, afraid that Jiang Hao would say nothing, and his hope would be completely shattered.
"Yes, it's really what I guessed before. The Taoist ancestor passed down the 'Sunflower Ascension to Immortal Sutra'. That exercise seems to be the most suitable practice for the Duke Lord." Jiang Hao said.
To be continued...
