Chapter 475: Unpredictable
"I asked the genius doctor at the medical institute, and he said, "This thing is actually harmless, but you just can't use it too much!" Xun Yu said heavily.
"Dr. Hua was also inspired to start researching new drugs."
"Go, find someone to invite Xia Ji over for me, and invite Zhang Tianshi over as well."
Chen Xi spoke directly to the Yulin Army on the side, saying that he wanted to see what Xia Ji's situation was.
At their level, apart from having to think about how to deal with other empires, when dealing with any enemy within the Central Plains, they can simply crush them.
Even if the opponent is a military god like Han Bai, it would be impossible to rebel in the environment of the Han Dynasty because the overall advantage is too great.
In this rising empire, any problem can be solved, except when the opponent is another empire.
After Xia Ji arrived at the Government Affairs Hall, Chen Xi showed a surprised expression on his face. He had heard before that Zhang Lu's mother Xia Ji had the secret to maintaining her youthful appearance, was good at health preservation, had a young appearance, and was also proficient in ghost magic.
When he saw it today, he still couldn't believe his eyes.
It is no exaggeration to say that she is young. Although she is in her sixties, she looks less than 20 years old. Her long white hair is not bound up in any way and hangs down like a waterfall.
It was almost winter, but he was not wearing any winter clothes and was even floating in the air barefoot.
She really looks like a fairy descending from heaven to earth.
"I am Xia Ji, the Taoist priest of heaven. I am honored to meet the Prime Minister and the Minister of State!" Xia Ji's tone sounded a little lazy, as if she was carrying a different emotion.
"No need to be polite!"
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes, then gathered his mental strength, and was surprised to find that Xia Ji did not use any crooked tricks, but was able to stir people's emotions with just her voice.
"Are you really Zhang Lu's mother?"
Chen Xi couldn't quite believe it. Although Zhao Yun and the others could achieve the same effect through internal energy, that was Zhao Yun. There might not be many monsters like him in the entire Central Plains or even the entire world.
In fact, Huang Zhong and Tong Yuan can also achieve the effect of rejuvenation, but they still look old on weekdays, which is completely different from Xia Ji who looks young on weekdays.
Xia Ji chuckled and said, "Prime Minister, you are not the first person to ask this question. In fact, it is not difficult to maintain an ageless appearance. First, practice my secret method, second, take my Taoist elixir, and third, maintain a detached mentality and not be bound by the world."
"You should know why I called you here?" Chen Xi was not interested in listening to Xia Ji's nonsense.
The original story of Xia Ji was full of gods and ghosts. She was favored by Liu Zhang and was eventually killed by him. However, there really is supernatural power in this world, so it is possible that Xia Ji was really a god or ghost.
"Prime Minister, don't you believe in ghosts and gods?" Xia Ji still looked at Chen Xi with a smile.
"Haha, saving the Han Dynasty depends on people. What does it matter whether I believe it or not?" Chen Xi answered very bluntly.
"Don't you, Prime Minister, want to live forever?" Xia Ji asked.
"If I were willing to practice Taoism, my achievements would be much higher than yours!" Chen Xi looked at Xia Ji with disdain. He was originally quite curious about practicing Taoism.
Later, after Zuo Ci and Nan Hua explained the Taoism to him, he scoffed at the so-called method of ascending to heaven.
Especially after Nanhua affirmed the qualifications of spiritually gifted counselors such as Chen Xi, the mysterious veil of cultivation became worthless in Chen Xi's eyes.
Xia Ji didn't say much. She already understood Chen Xi's attitude. If the other party didn't believe it, there was no need for her to force it.
"I understand what you mean, Prime Minister. From now on, I will not continue to expand the scope. I will only teach skills but not religion, okay?" Xia Ji promised.
"You are still stubborn! The Yulin Army has captured her. Taoist Zhang, I will leave this person to you!"
Chen Xi looked at Xia Ji coldly. He gave you the last chance for Zhang Lu’s sake. If you don’t cherish it, then don’t blame him.
How could he just ignore such a time bomb that could mislead people?
After he pointed out the problem, he still didn't adjust his attitude. It would be better to clear up this time bomb as soon as possible.
He didn't want to see anyone in the court secretly colluding, especially using religion as a means of collusion, even if no one was colluding.
With Xia Ji's means of bewitching people, it would be very easy for her to start with the ladies of various families and stir up trouble in the end.
Sixty years old and not old, what could be more convincing than this?
"Alas, Xia Ji, why are you doing this? Lord Chen is a man of divine appearance, how can your little thoughts escape Lord Chen's discerning eyes!" A leisurely sigh was heard from the void.
Zhang Jue sighed as he watched Xia Ji being captured by the Yulin Army. This attempt to rebel in a roundabout way was simply clumsy in the eyes of a rebel like him.
It was obvious that Zhang Lu had given up all these powers and devoted himself to practicing Taoism and becoming an immortal, but why couldn't Zhang Lu's mother let go of these things?
"Will Lord Chen allow me to take action here?" Zhang Jue asked politely. The national fortune in the Government Affairs Hall was very strong, and it would be difficult for him to take action forcibly without consent, as it would easily cause a backlash against the national fortune.
He is still counting on the national destiny to protect the secret for him, and he dare not offend the national destiny at this time.
"Yes!" Chen Xi nodded.
"Let's go!" Zhang Jue stretched out his hand and put Xia Ji into his sleeve.
He can now use all the supernatural powers recorded in the classics. Although the power may not be as exaggerated as described in the classics, there is no doubt that he can use them all.
Zhang Jiao is now a second-tier monster in terms of combat power, but the difference in the system is enough to allow him to advance to the first tier. He is even a monster who reaches the realm of breaking before Lu Bu.
He also felt the calamity in his heart and wanted to lead the people of the world to overthrow the corrupt Han Dynasty and rebuild the world, but he failed.
After he came back to life, he discovered that the world did not need to overthrow the imperial court, nor did it need to be a fight to the death.
This time he simply gave up his heart tribulation. Although he was still a god who could break through the realm, there was a fundamental difference between him and Guan Yu and Lu Bu.
However, Zhang Jue didn't care about this . He just wanted to contribute to the glory of the Han Dynasty and encourage the people of the world to supervise the development of the court. At the same time, he also wanted to atone for his sins with practical actions.
"I'm taking my leave!" After taking Xia Ji in, Zhang Jue bowed and left the Government Affairs Hall.
"It's hard to guard against!" Xun Yu let out a long sigh. In his opinion, Chen Xi's handling of the matter was still a little weak.
According to his thinking, such a scourge should be killed directly. It would be better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let such a scourge survive.
However, since rebel leaders like Zhang Jue had been recruited by the general, Xun Yu could not say anything about imprisoning Xia Ji, who had not shown any clear signs of rebellion.
It's better to recover them. In case these supernatural guys can be used in the future, there is no need to find a way to summon them. They can be directly drawn from the worship hall.
