At this time, King Fu had already eaten half full, and when he heard Li Rong talk about it, he didn't like it at all, so he said: "I'll talk about it! I said Li Rong, you just read too many books, and it's useless to talk about one thing.
Speaking of this, King Fu looked at Qiu Chuji and Wu Fu, with an expression that made everyone pay attention: "If you want to say that after this Wang Zhenren came to the capital, I have always been with me, so in terms of understanding this Wang Zhenren, it is estimated that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and even counting my imperial brother, no one will be able to compare with me!"
Li Rong understood King Fu's temper, the closer he was to whom, the more straightforward he became, and he was not polite at all, so he didn't care what King Fu said about him at all.
In addition, Li Rong was not a particularly talkative person, so he was happy to stop telling stories and eat, and occasionally helped: "Lord, among the royal relatives and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, you are just hello! Where can others compare to you!"
King Fu nodded with satisfaction after hearing this flattery, and opened his posture to start speaking: "When Wang Zhenren was invited to come, the monk Jingming was also present. As soon as Wang Zhenren came, my imperial brother first asked a few questions, and just when he was about to think about what to ask again, Jingming saw that this was a loophole, so he quickly snatched the conversation. I only heard Jingming ask: 'Wang Zhenren, you and I are both monks, Buddhism and Taoism are not separated, how do the poor monks have a few questions that they would like to ask Wang Zhenren?'"
"You think, how can Wang Zhenren say no, in this case, so Jingming asked question after question, what teacher and whom, how many years of practice, and where is the specialty of cultivation...... At that time, I looked at the face of the imperial brother, but it was really not very good! At that time, I thought, this pure Ming is a monk, and if you want to say that it should also be pure with six roots, how can it seem that you have to compete with Wang Zhenren for a short length!"
But at that time, no one could speak out to stop it, not to mention that we didn't have any mistakes in listening to Wang Zhenren's answer. As a result, after asking these questions, I didn't know what Jingming thought, so he actually said casually: Not to mention Wang Chuyi Zhenren himself, even Wang Zhenren's master, Wang Chongyang, has never heard of it before, and the little unknown person doesn't know what skills he can have? The Quanzhen Sect is a new foreign way, and it is not even as famous as the current Taiyi Sect, so this Wang Zhenren must not have any real skills!"
King Fu only cared about speaking happily, and didn't care about the reaction on other people's faces, he just followed his own temperament and said it casually.
Wu Fu is different from King Fu, he has a keen mind, and after listening to what King Fu said about Wang Chongyang, he thought that this was Qiu Chuji's master, and when he heard his master and sect being said to be so unbearable, ordinary people couldn't help but be angry and get up, I don't know what Daoist Qiu's face would look gloomy?
King Fu continued: "After listening to Jingming's questioning, Wang Zhenren was never in a hurry, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, and after listening to Jingming's slander of his master, he was not angry, but just smiled faintly. At that time, I thought, if Jingming dares to ask me like this, and say such bad things about my master, then I must have swung my fist like this, and hit him with black eyes first! Now that I think about it, this Wang Zhenren's reaction at that time was really unusual!"
After saying this, King Fu glanced at Qiu Chuji and said with a smile: "Qiu Zhenren, don't say it, you and Wang Zhenren's reaction at that time is very similar!
Wu Fu thought, he didn't expect Qiu Zhenren and his senior brother's reactions to be really the same!
Qiu Chuji smiled faintly and said, "I think that when my master taught us to practice, he deliberately made us beg for food to cultivate our minds. If others respect me and have a deep cultivation of others, others insult me, or they see that I really need to be corrected, but it can also be regarded as a reminder to me. What's there to be angry about?"
Wu Fu, Li Rong and King Fu couldn't help but give a thumbs up when they heard Qiu Chuji's words: "The words of a real person are indeed high!"
King Fu continued: "What Jingming said at that time, people who understand it will of course know that he is deliberately belittling Wang Zhenren, but it must be a fan of the authorities, at that time, my imperial brother listened to Jingming's words, and actually thought that what Jingming said was right, so he looked a little disappointed." ”
"At that time, Wang Zhenren came to the capital has always been my reception, seeing this Wang Zhenren all the way to the dust, listening to his simple words, and acting very safely, unlike some monks who play tricks and deliberately take big words or play tricks to bluff people. I am a sincere person, so I usually like to deal with honest people the most, and I feel that Wang Zhenren and I are more right, so I can't help but say: 'Brother Huang, the level of this cultivation is not above words, you have to show a real kung fu to distinguish!'"
"Well, that's right!" Wu Fu couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and said: "I admire Qiu Zhenren for the same thing, how can Qiu Zhenren ever say a word? But when it comes to real kung fu, that's a skill I have never seen!"
"Alas, what I said is naturally good, but it's a pity that it was used by Jingming!" King Fu slapped his hand on the table and said angrily: "If I hadn't said this at the time, how could he have taken out a bottle of wine in the name of taking the test of kung fu?"
"Jingming came prepared, even if the prince didn't say that, he would always find an opportunity to take out the poisonous wine!" Li Rong said slowly.
"It's really hateful to think about this guy!" said King Fu, "At that time, when my imperial brother heard that Wang Zhenren was going to show him his real kung fu, he couldn't help laughing and said, 'This is good!'
Jingming took the opportunity to take out a small red bottle, presented it and said: "Your Majesty, my wine was originally just a wine, but later after the ancestor selected the eighteen kinds of poison essences in the Western Regions and condensed it, it has been fulfilled many times over the past few decades, and it can test people's cultivation level the most!" I looked at it, and the wine was so red that I got closer and smelled it, and there was a chill in the aroma of the wine, and the smell alone made me shiver!"
"Jingming poured out the wine, did Wang Zhenren drink it?" Wu Fu asked.
"Nonsense, even if Wang Zhenren doesn't want to drink, isn't there still an emperor?" King Fu said, "Just my imperial brother, don't look at the smile on his face that is sweeter than honey, but I have goosebumps when I hear his words: 'Wang Zhenren, how about a drink?'" He didn't want to think about it, it was poisonous wine, can you give it to people to drink casually?"
Qiu Chuji heard King Fu's anger, and couldn't help but say: "Lord Fu treats my senior brother so kindly, and I thank Senior Brother Poor Dao on behalf of him!"
"Alas, later your Senior Brother Wang also said this to me, but I am a big old man but I can only be anxious, and I really can't think of any other way to rescue me at that time!" King Fu waved his hand and continued: "I saw Wang Mu standing in front of Wang Zhenren with a wine glass, and I couldn't help but stop and say: 'Wait, Master Jingming, I heard you talk about this wine so much, has anyone drunk it before?'"
"Hearing me ask this, the great monk of Jingming blushed and said, 'Naturally, someone has drunk it. Don't tell the truth, I have a senior brother who has always boasted of being very high in cultivation, and once when we took the exam, he drank such a cup. ’”
"'What's the result?' I asked at the time. At this time, King Fu was still angry when he talked about the scene at that time, "What do you guess the great monk said?"
"What did he say, could it be that his senior brother's cultivation was really very high, and he was still safe and sound after drinking this wine?" Wu Fu asked.
"I'm angry, I'm angry when I think of Jingming's way back then!" Fu Wang said, "I saw the great monk with his hands folded, his eyes looking at the sky, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself: 'Amitabha, my senior brother passed away at that time!'"
"So no one can be sure that the wine that Jingming took was really used to test the level of cultivation. Li Rong said, "Maybe it's this monk's trick to hurt people!"
"Well, it's also possible!" Wu Fu nodded, "Seeing others arguing with him, he poured a cup and then ......"
"At that time, I said: 'Brother Huang, this wine may not really be able to test cultivation, right?' After all, human life is at stake, so we have to be cautious!'" King Fu continued, "I think that my brother and I have been galloping together since we were young, and we have naturally killed countless people before, but I have killed all the people who oppose us, and I have never been soft back then! But now, the older I get, the softer my heart becomes, because this has always been ridiculed by my imperial brother, but I still couldn't help but persuade me that time." The imperial brother still smiled lightly as before: "Try it, but how?" At the same time, he motioned to Wang Mu to just serve the wine to Wang Zhenren. ”
"Then Wang Zhenren really drank it?" Wu Fu asked.
"At this juncture, what can he do if he doesn't drink?" Li Rong said, looking at King Fu: "Lord Wang, if you think about it, Your Majesty must have a good idea in your heart, and you believe in Wang Zhenren's profound cultivation very much, so you dare to give it a try!"
King Fu glared at Li Rong and did not speak.
