Chapter 238 Reincarnation
Dingzhou was in an uproar.
There is also turmoil in Lingzhou.
After the news came out, countless people took action.
In addition to the imperial court and the Taoist sects, there were also many dignitaries and well-informed people who were eager to watch the excitement.
This resulted in all kinds of carriages and fast horses gathering in addition to Fang Xiandao's motorcade, stretching for dozens of miles, creating a bustling and noisy scene, and causing chaos several times.
Fortunately, they also knew that there was an immortal in charge of the convoy and did not dare to offend him.
Otherwise, the trouble will increase tenfold along the way.
Moreover, the momentum of this time also suppressed some noises such as "Fang Xiandao fled without fighting" and "fearing the demon clan".
"Let me fight with myself, how stupid must I be to do this..."
Inside the carriage, Fang Xian sat cross-legged, knowing the court's intentions clearly.
It's nothing more than a fight between the snipe and the clam, and finally a fight to catch them all.
"What a coincidence... From today on, the court will find that Wang Shun attacks everywhere except Lingzhou... And I am not going to give Lingzhou to the court. When the time is right, I will let Ning Boshang secede and become a vassal town..."
"I'm afraid the emperor has prepared some means to deal with me. Last time in the palace, the Daluo Dongxuan Secret Temple reminded me of the danger... I won't go there next time..."
"The tiger won't come out of its cave. Even if he sends me thirteen golden medals to beg me, I won't go to the capital..."
…
While he was deep in thought, the carriage stopped and Tong Hezi's voice came from outside: "The convoy has arrived in Lingzhou. Master, where should we go next?"
"Let's go pick up Miaoyu first and go to Lingshan Mansion!"
Fang Xian replied.
"yes!"
Tonghezi outside was startled and, with some anticipation, he immediately ordered the large convoy to set off.
Lingshan Prefecture.
Zhao family.
This family passed down poetry and literature from generation to generation. No matter whether it was the previous dynasty or the Great Zhou Dynasty, every few decades there would always be a Jinshi who brought honor to the family. They were known as a family of prestige in the county, with endless fertile fields and numerous servants.
At this time, the eldest son's house was filled with gloom and sorrow.
Zhao Tongming, the head of the eldest house, recently encountered a strange thing.
His seventh concubine recently gave birth to a baby boy, which was supposed to be a happy event, but the baby was really weird.
Since he was born, he didn't cry or make a fuss. He just kept looking around with his black eyes, almost scaring the midwife to death.
If the concubine had not begged him, he would have almost drowned the baby.
Just as he was worrying, a butler suddenly came over and saluted, "Young Master, the master wants to see you!"
The so-called master is the head of the Zhao family, the real person in power, and Zhao Tongming's father.
"My father is looking for me, so I should go and see him."
Zhao Tongming followed the butler, walked through the huge courtyard, garden, and long corridor, and came to a study.
"Greetings, father!"
Zhao Tongming saluted solemnly and asked, "Father, why did you call your son here?"
"You have been focusing on your concubine's childbirth these days. I'm afraid you have turned a deaf ear to what's happening outside and don't even know what's happening in the outside world?" Old Master Zhao snorted coldly and handed a piece of information to Zhao Tongming.
"this……"
Zhao Tongming took a quick look and shuddered all over: "You mean... my child is the reincarnation of a Taoist priest? That's impossible ... It's rare for a baby to be born without crying or making a fuss, but there are examples... He might be mute."
"If this is the only reason, I wouldn't really believe it. But now, the immortal carriages are all coming to Lingshan Mansion... Comparing the two, the possibility is very high."
Mr. Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly: "I heard that you want to drown him?"
"I do have this idea..." Zhao Tongming felt a chill all over his body when he was looked at, but he still answered honestly: "After all, it might be a monster..."
In fact, when he heard that his son might be the reincarnation of someone else, he felt weird and as if he was being taken advantage of, and the thought of drowning himself resurfaced.
"Confused!"
Mr. Zhao seemed to be looking for a cane: "You dare to kill the immortal's disciple? Do you want to kill our whole family?"
Zhao Tongming covered his head and ran away: "It may not be true. Besides... didn't you always say that a gentleman should not talk about strange things?"
"That was in the past. Now the monsters are out, and my Confucian school has to change! Besides... reincarnation and immortality, don't you want that?" Old Master Zhao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"So what do you mean?"
Zhao Tongming came to his senses and asked tentatively.
"It's just one son, so it doesn't matter if I give him up. It's better to make a good relationship with him. You have more than one son anyway." Old Master Zhao said, "If reincarnation is true, I will not only give up this grandson to become a Taoist, but also cede Qingling Mountain outside the city to Fang Xiandao!"
"Qingling Mountain?"
Zhao Tongming was shocked. This was not a trivial matter. It was a huge industry.
"I don't seek immortality, but being able to prolong my life is good too. Besides... Dingzhou is gone, and the world is about to fall into chaos. I have to cling to someone, right?"
Mr. Zhao said with his eyes half closed.
"Everything is subject to your instructions."
Zhao Tongming had no choice but to agree.
…
Five days later.
The huge convoy drove into the city and headed straight for Zhao Mansion.
After hearing the news, Zhao Tongming no longer had any doubts and ordered people to bring out the newborn baby and greet him at the door.
There were people surrounding him in three layers.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Fang Xian calmly got off the bicycle and walked forward with Bao Shizi.
Just as Zhao Tongming was about to step forward to greet him, he saw the baby struggling and almost running out of the nurse's arms. He said, "Greetings, Taoist Master!"
Crash!
As soon as this clear child's voice sounded, the crowd around suddenly fell silent.
Soon, it turned into a huge wave, with noisy sounds that continued to spread outward.
"Today I am happy to see that my Taoist brother has escaped the calamity and returned to see the light of day again." Bao Shizi stepped forward, greeted him with Taoist etiquette, and naturally took the swaddling clothes from the wet nurse's hands.
"Zhao Youde has seen a true immortal!"
At this time, the main gate of the Zhao Mansion opened wide, and an old man with a red face came out to greet him: "It is an honor for our Zhao family that the immortal disciple reincarnates into our family. Our Zhao family is willing to offer sacrifices to the Taoist master with the Qingling Mountain outside the city! Please do not refuse!"
Having said this, he paid homage with great respect.
"Please don't refuse, Master."
Zhao Tongming was also in high spirits. When he looked up, he saw the baby's gaze looking at him, which seemed to be teasing. He was so angry that he vomited blood: "You can talk. I was really fooled by you, a little beast!"
"Since it is the good intention of the Patriarch, I will accept it."
Fang Xian said calmly.
"Haha, today is a double celebration. My house has already set up a banquet. I hope you will do me the honor."
As soon as Mr. Zhao waved his hand, a large number of servants ran out and invited all of Fang Xiandao's people into the mansion.
"Well..."
Perhaps because he felt it was too lively outside, Fang Xian frowned, agreed, and walked into the Zhao Mansion.
The impact of this incident is spreading to the entire world at a terrifying speed.
