Chapter 779

Where is there a father who personally goes to propose marriage for his daughter? This is too shameless and shows too much eagerness.

Madam Zhu sighed: "Don't blame your father, there was no other way. Recently, life has been difficult, your father went personally so that he could discuss with the Ma family; the matchmaker is always separated by a layer, and many things are 'four two seven' not easy to say."

"Oh." Zhu Yingtai responded lightly, "I have nothing to blame, it's just that making Father lose face is always a bit bad."

"Don't talk about this disappointing matter." Madam Zhu's mood improved, and her voice suddenly became light, "Speaking of this, it's truly bizarre. Your father went personally, but the Ma family said—instead of giving you to the Ma family, it's better to send you to a Daoist Lord."

"Give me to a Daoist Lord?" Zhu Yingtai's heart trembled, what kind of ghost practice is this!

"Uh... your father heard this and was furious on the spot." Madam Zhu said while combing her hair, vividly telling the story of what happened, "However, later the head of the Ma family sent out an object, which completely changed your father's mind."

Speaking of this, Madam Zhu stopped her hand and took out an object from her sleeve.

"It's this!"

"Great Brightness Mantra?" Zhu Yingtai took it, feeling a bit surprised, "What is this? Father has always not believed in these things, could it be because it was given by the Ma family that he believed it? Or could it be that he only had to agree with the Ma family to let the Ma family marry into our Zhu family?"

"No." Madam Zhu shook her head, "You chant it once first, and then we'll continue talking; if I say it with my mouth, I'm afraid you won't believe it."

"I believe everything Mother says, how could I not believe it."

Zhu Yingtai's voice was very light, without any emotion, as if she were a duckweed swaying in the wind; a wind comes, and she can be blown away with the waves.

"This divine mantra is indeed of great benefit, you chant it first." Madam Zhu knew her daughter had grievances, so she didn't force her, just said softly, "Mother doesn't need to lie to you about this matter."

Zhu Yingtai nodded and began to chant softly.

She originally had a heart like dead ashes, but as the mantra was chanted, a piece of light suddenly descended into her heart, making her feel as if she were walking under the sun, with light all around.

It was as if this gloomy world had been illuminated by light.

The common people were full of smiles, there was no more pain, and everyone had gained freedom.

"It's so good!"

After chanting the mantra once, Zhu Yingtai only felt relaxed all over, and her previously gloomy mood was swept away; only then did she have the heart to carefully check her own state.

Checking this, she was stunned.

"This mantra actually has such miraculous features?" Zhu Yingtai exclaimed, "Not only can it wash away the dust of the human heart, but it can also make people strong and healthy. Could it be that there is a true method to become an immortal in the world?"

Daoism originated from ancient times, the theory of Huang-Lao; among them, Huang is the Yellow Emperor, who wrote the Yin-Fu Jing.

The Daoist religion originated from the Eastern Han dynasty, and Zhang Daoling founded the Daoist religion with Daoist thought.

And the theory of immortals originated from the Warring States period between the two.

By the Eastern Jin period, the theory of immortals was already very prevalent.

Immortal cultivation and alchemy were already known to noble families, and from time to time, people died from taking elixirs.

"Naturally, there is no method of True Immortals in the world." Madam Zhu shook her head, "This method comes from outside the world!"

After saying that, she told the story from beginning to end.

With the Great Brightness Mantra to gain trust, Zhu Yingtai listened very carefully.

"Mother, since that Daoist Lord is an immortal, can I really be favored by him?"

"And even if I am chosen, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of our Zhu family."

Madam Zhu smiled: "You don't need to worry about this matter; it's good if you can take care of the Zhu family, if not, just take care of yourself. As long as you are by that Daoist Lord's side, the Ma family will naturally not treat our Zhu family badly."

"Mother is right." Zhu Yingtai nodded lightly, "I agree to this matter, Mother, let Father reply to the Ma family."

Madam Zhu was overjoyed, finished combing her daughter's hair, and then left.

"Since there are immortals, why don't they care about the suffering of the world? Are immortals just clay sculptures and wooden carvings?" After Madam Zhu left, Zhu Yingtai looked up at the sky, a ray of sunlight shone on her plain eyes, and she said a shocking word.

Chat group.

Ma Wencai: "I am already in the True Qi realm, can I tidy up the mountains and rivers?"

Su Xiao: "Of course you can, there is no extraordinary power on your side, your current realm is already enough."

Umaru: "Uh, didn't Liang Shanpo and Zhu Yingtai turn into butterflies at the end? Isn't this an extraordinary power?"

Hu Yifei: "Even so, how strong can it be?"

Ma Wencai: "That's true. There is one more thing, Zhu Yingtai admires the demeanor of the Daoist Lord and wants to go to Daluo Heaven to serve the Daoist Lord; I wonder if it is possible?"

Su Xiao: "Zhu Yingtai admires Brother Taixuan, saying this, is it your Ma family doing good deeds again?"

Umaru: "Haha, you ancient people are really strange, you really like sending people. Li Shimin is like this, and the Ma family is also like this 0........ "

Li Shimin: "Because marriage alliances are the norm in ancient times!"

Su Xiao: "A bit curious, why didn't men marry into the family in ancient times? No, it should be marriage alliances!"

Zhao Kuangyin: "When dynasties change in ancient times, they generally have to kill all the princes and grandsons, just because they are afraid of being used by people with ulterior motives. Sending princes to marry into foreign tribes is an operation that only people of your modern times can think of. This is simply handing the nuclear weapon button to the enemy. The enemy has the name of the orthodox Central Plains and can attack at any time to inherit your Central Plains family business. This is too dangerous!"

Li Shimin: "It is indeed like this. Wu Zetian, you know her, right? Just because she used her nephew to replace her son for a marriage alliance, she was beaten by the Later Turks until she cried!"

Su Xiao: "Eh, didn't Wu Zetian kill her sons very happily? Why does she care about this!"

Hu Yifei: "No, what she cares about is not her son, but the national body. Marrying her son to the Turks, she, the Emperor, would have no prestige, losing power and humiliating the country; how can she control the country?!"

Hu Yifei: "Besides that, the princes of Li Tang possess the right of inheritance of the Great Tang, and the Later Turks can completely use the name of the prince to send troops to attack the Great Zhou and inherit the Great Tang family business. You must know that the power of the Later Turks at that time was not small, with hundreds of thousands of troops. Once a prince is sent over, it is not a marriage alliance, but directly creating a terrifying enemy, an enemy who can legitimately inherit the Great Tang throne."

Li Shimin: "There is one point: princes are educated in the art of emperors from childhood and are extremely sensitive to politics; foreign leaders are also not at ease putting such figures by their side. Once he is too smart, there might be a coup. Sending a prince over, is this a marriage alliance, or do you want to disgust people! Not only will it not make the relationship between the two sides better, but it might even lead to hostility."

Su Xiao: "Understood, because princes have the right of inheritance, are easily used by others, and understand power schemes, they are naturally unstable factors, just like a time bomb 0.0, which is not friendly to the Central Plains royal family or foreign leaders!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "There is one more point—the princess of the marriage alliance may not be a princess, but could be a daughter of the clan, or an ordinary palace maid; the Emperor doesn't feel heartache when letting them marry out."

Su Xiao: "Wang Zhaojun: You are talking about me!"

Umaru: "Said so much, is Brother Taixuan willing to let Zhu Yingtai come over?"

Su Xiao: "Yes, yes, this is the point! @Zhang Taixuan"

Zhang Taixuan: "Why not!"

Umaru: "Ah, Brother Taixuan has become Ma Wencai. 【Shock】"

Ma Wencai: "?? I have become an adjective?!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Making a fuss, Zhu Yingtai hasn't met Liang Shanpo yet, and won't cause a tragedy, so I am willing! Otherwise, do you think I want to be a villain?"

Su Xiao: "Haven't met?"

Ma Wencai: "The two indeed haven't met, Miss Zhu has always been waiting in the boudoir."

Su Xiao: "Then it's fine!" ===== CHAPTER 780 =====
