Fourteen years later.
Outside Yingtian Prefecture, at the White Cloud Temple on Ox-Head Mountain.
A father brought his two sons up the stairs and stood outside the monastery.
"Biao Er, is this the place you brought us to?”
His father's voice was loud and clear. After climbing the Ox-Head Mountain for more than an hour, his face was not red and he was not panting.
He was the most legendary emperor in history, Zhu Yuanzhang.
Standing on the left and right were Crown Prince Zhu Biao and Prince of Yan Zhu Di.
"Not bad, Father."
Zhu Biao wiped the sweat off his forehead and nodded while panting." Priest Fang of this Taoist temple is an expert who has achieved immortality. He can know the past and the future. I only learned about it by chance.”
Zhu Di, who was beside him, had a ruddy complexion and his breathing was even. He said casually,"I say, big brother, he only thinks that you are easy to fool. If he really had the ability to know the future, wouldn't he be the emperor?”
"Hmm?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and glared at Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was instantly frightened like a mouse that had seen a cat. He retracted his neck.
He was the King of Yan, and his vassal territory was in Beiping. He should not have responded to the heavens. However, Empress Ma had fallen ill recently and missed her son. Zhu Yuanzhang had urgently summoned him back.
Zhu Biao smiled gently." Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look. It'll be good to pray for Mother."”
"Let's go." Hearing Zhu Biao mention Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickened his pace.
If he could really cure his sister's illness, why not come personally to pray?
When he thought of Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart sank.
It had been nearly a year.
Empress Ma didn't know why, but she was getting more and more depressed. Her body was getting worse by the day. She had a minor illness every three days and a major illness every five days. She lay on the bed all day and couldn't get up.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw this and was anxious.
He could roam the battlefield and kill countless people, he could also command the court and make all the officials kowtow, but he could not heal the person he loved.
At this moment, Zhu Biao ran over and told him that there was a little immortal on the Ox-Head Mountain outside Yingtian Prefecture who might be able to cure Empress Ma.
Zhu Yuanzhang never believed in ghosts and gods, but when he saw Zhu Biao's sincere and filial eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he brought Zhu Di, who had just entered the capital, over.
The three of them had just entered the Taoist temple when they heard the melodious sound of bells and drums rumbling. It was soul-stirring and solemn.
A cool breeze blew across the courtyard, filling the air with a refreshing fragrance that made people feel relaxed and happy.
The rainbow was high in the sky, and the clouds were rippling. It was as if they had entered a holy land of immortals.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang stepped into the front courtyard of the Taoist temple, he felt his heart clear up, and even the fatigue he had felt for many days was swept away.
He couldn't help but nod and praise,"It's really a place for Taoist cultivation."”
Zhu Di pointed at a mossy stone in the southeast corner of the monastery and said,""Father, look over there."
Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his senses.
On a mossy rock in the southeast corner stood a youth with delicate features. He was slowly making some strange movements.
He was dressed in a light purple Daoist robe. The wind blew gently, and his sleeves fluttered. In the midst of the clouds and fog, he had an otherworldly temperament, like a banished immortal.
What made Zhu Yuanzhang even more surprised was the youth's movements. Although he looked as slow as an old turtle, every time he exerted his strength, he was like a bolt of lightning and a bolt of fire.
He blurted out,"This little Taoist priest is not simple."”
"Oh?"
Zhu Di rolled his eyes and ran over without any explanation. He chuckled and said,"Little Taoist priest, let me spar with you?”
The young man paused for a moment and looked at Zhu Di, who was diagonally below him. He nodded and smiled."Go ahead."
Zhu Biao quickly stepped forward." Fourth Brother, don't be rude. He's the Taoist priest we're going to see."”
However, Zhu Di did not seem to hear him. He rolled up his sleeves and jumped onto the moss stone.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood in the main courtyard with his hands behind his back. He looked at this scene with interest and had no intention of stopping Zhu Di.
He also wanted to see how capable this young Abbey Dean was for his son to value him so much.
Zhu Di saw that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't stop him and was very excited. He rubbed his hands energetically and looked at a concave point on the side of the moss stone. He wanted to step on it.
"Pa da!"
Unexpectedly, just as Zhu Di was about to step on it, he slipped and fell heavily under the moss stone.
Zhu Biao quickly went forward to support Zhu Di.”
"It's okay, Big Brother. Get up."
Zhu Di's temper flared up. He pushed Zhu Biao away, tucked his robe into his waist, and climbed up the moss stone again.
However, no matter how many times he tried, the result was the same. He fell heavily to the ground.
After trying more than ten times, Zhu Di sat on the ground with sweat all over his forehead. He looked at the young man who was moving freely on the moss stone as if he was looking at a monster.
He even said that he wanted to spar with others, but in the end, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to even stand in front of them.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed slightly.
Zhu Di was a natural-born general. Not to mention among the princes, even among the famous generals of the current era, his skills were one of the best.
Not to mention that he had liked to climb rocks and trees since he was young. He was like a monkey. There was nothing that he could not climb.
This little Taoist priest was indeed quite capable.
At this moment.
Fang Han had already finished practicing a set of fist techniques. He slowly came down from the moss stone as if he was walking on flat ground.
He stood in front of Zhu Di and extended a hand. He smiled and said,"Is the Prince of Yan alright?"
"Hmm?"
Zhu Di widened his eyes and subconsciously looked at Zhu Biao as if he was asking," Brother, did you tell him about me?"
Zhu Biao shook his head silently. His meaning was clear. He had never exposed his identity.
The last time he came over, he had only communicated with Fang Han as the son of a noble.
"Little Daoist, guess who I am?”
A rough and bold voice sounded, and Zhu Yuanzhang walked in front of Fang Han.
"I'll start with a bowl and then establish Emperor Hongwu of the Han family.”
Fang Han flicked his horsetail whisk and bowed slightly.
"Interesting. Could it be that you really know the past and the future as Biao Er said?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was getting more and more interested.
This little Taoist priest had red lips and white teeth. He was really not bad looking, and he was not an embroidered pillow.
Practicing martial arts on the smooth moss stone alone was something that few people in the world could do.
Isn't Zhu Di a living example?
Moreover, he could immediately guess the identity of the father and son. With his good eyesight and unfathomable skills, his future was limitless.
It was really a pity to be a Taoist priest.
It's time for our Fourth Princess to find a husband. Is this a coincidence?
Fang Han straightened his back and smiled indifferently. He shook his head and said,"Your Majesty, you flatter me. How can there be an immortal in this world who can know the past and the future?”
Zhu Di, who was sitting on the ground, rolled his eyes. He was about to mock Fang Han, but Fang Han's next sentence made him freeze.
"I can only bring people back to the past and the future.”
