Chapter 647: The Secret of the Tang Dynasty
The ghost temple in the soul sealing painting loomed, as if with a suction force, making the ghost of Dongying sitting on the paper crane tremble, Li Shaoyang heard him say the ancient Chinese language, and his face and expression did not look like a fake, so he asked: "Are you really the six clear paths?" ”
The ghost who claimed to be the six paths of Qingming began to narrate that in the Heian period thousands of years ago, positions such as sending Tang envoys were held by children of aristocratic families, and they were all relatively young, similar to the current national students. At that time, the Tang Empire was the most developed country in the world, with a political system and cultural traditions that led the world. And the Heian period of Dongying was still in a backward era, so the emperor began to send students into the Tang Dynasty, learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty and bring it back, such a Tang envoy, a total of four batches were sent before and after, each time there were hundreds of people, in addition to the official dispatch, there were also some private actions, at that time to and from the Tang Dynasty and Dongying was to take risks.
Rokudo Harumi belongs to a noble family, at that time in the Heian period, the so-called aristocracy was actually some slave owners, Rokudo Harumi because the family has a large area of land near Kyoto, so from the nouveau riche to the nobles, has always been looked down upon, the Rokudo family was going to build a shrine at that time, so he sent Harumi to the Tang Dynasty to practice yin and yang.
Liudao Qingming went through a lot of hardships, and finally came to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, at first he felt very sad to leave his homeland, but soon was attracted by the prosperous Chang'an, the then Tang Emperor Xuanzong took good care of Dongying's Tang envoys, and there would be a large number of rewards almost every month. For a young man like Liudao Qingming, the moonlight is the reward he receives, and he can live a very nourishing life.
So Liudao Qingming let go of homesickness, played in temples and Taoist temples in Chang'an every day, and sometimes rode a horse to go out to go out, and those days were really comfortable.
He did not forget the instructions of his family, so he worshipped a Taoist master in the Red Leaf Taoist Temple in Wannian County, on the outskirts of Chang'an, to learn Yin and Yang Arts. At first, he was serious, but soon he met a friend in the Red Leaf Taoist Temple, who claimed to be a hermit in the South of the South.
This Zhongnan hermit seems to be very wealthy, and every day he invites Liu Dao Qingming to play in the luxurious Chang'an wine shop, and sometimes even takes him secretly into the palace to watch the neon dress dance rehearsed by the concubine and Xuanzong from a distance.
Liudao Qingming and this Zhongnan hermit have a better and better relationship, and they have become friends of life and death. In this way, Liudao Qingming was reluctant to go back in Chang'an, and although he was forced to return to China twice during this period, he couldn't help but risk his life to hire a ship to return to Tang after a few days. Go and live that prosperous and dreamy life again...... And so it went until the fourteenth year of Tianbao!
Li Shaoyang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, he was too familiar with Tianbao in the fourteenth year, and all the students who had studied history should also remember that this year was the turning point of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and the era when the Anshi Rebellion began.
Sure enough, Liudao Qingming told the story of the Anshi Rebellion in detail, from the rumors of Chang'an at the beginning to the code that the Tang envoys got, before An Lushan rebelled, the official government of Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty had the opportunity to get the news at least three months in advance, because when An Lushan was preparing to attack Chang'an, he had summoned mercenaries from the Western Regions and Goryeo, and had secretly threatened the Tang envoys of various countries. At that time, the envoys and mercenaries sent by various countries to the Tang Dynasty were all on the side of the Tang State, so the news and evidence about An Lushan's rebellion reached Chang'an at the end of the thirteenth year of Tianbao.
It's a pity that Yang Guozhong was in power at this time, An Lushan sent people to give Yang Guozhong several heavy gifts, but Yang Xiang didn't send it without knowing it, so Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei continued to live a stable life, until An Lushan fought all the way to Chang'an......
The six clear ghosts stopped abruptly at this point and began to sigh again and again.
Li Shaoyang was listening to it with relish, and urged: "Go on, have you seen Yang Guifei?" What does she look like? ”
Liudao Qingming glanced at him in surprise: "Immortal chief don't want to be like this, at that time, the army of the Hu people was about to fight, I heard that Chang'an was difficult to protect, so I thought I couldn't stay, so I spent money to hire a canal grain ship, ready to go to Yuhang along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and then find a ship to go out of the East China Sea and return to China." ”
Li Shaoyang nodded slightly, Yuhang at that time was today's Hangzhou, and it was also an important pass of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
Liudao Qingming continued: "It's just that before leaving, my friend Zhongnan Hermit suddenly came, and I asked him if he wanted to go to Dongying with me, but he told me that there was a noble man in the palace who would have a disaster in a few days, and he needed my help to help the noble man escape, and hoped that I could stay in Chang'an." ”
Liudao Qingming lowered his head slightly when he said this, and Li Shaoyang's heart moved: "Oh, you were bent on escaping at the time, so you refused, didn't you?" ”
Liudao Qingming was a little ashamed: "Yes, I was scared to death, and I just wanted to escape quickly, but my friend turned his face and casually summoned two horned monsters, arrested me, and kept me in the Red Leaf Temple." ”
Li Shaoyang couldn't help but sigh, this Zhongnan hermit can actually summon the bull head of the underworld to come out, could it be the high-level god clan of the underworld?
Liudao Qingming's tone was miserable, he was locked up in the Red Leaf Temple, Chang'an soon fell, and the hermit of Zhongnan took him to follow the emperor's army and began to flee, this way really suffered a lot, until it reached Mahuaipo, the army was suddenly chaotic.
Liu Dao Qingming can't remember the detailed scene at that time, only knows that many people were killed, that Yang Guozhong Xiangguo he knew, at that time Yang Guozhong also set up a big tent, in the account to deal with things, he carried a total of 300 boxes, 2,000 soldiers need to transport, of which 100 boxes are the three Yang sisters' fat powder and other cosmetics.
When the army rebelled, several Tibetan envoys were gathering outside Yang Guozhong's tent to protest to him that there was no food. Yang Guozhong came out to explain to the Tibetan envoy, and the army behind shouted that Yang Guozhong colluded with the Hu people, rushed up, and cut him and the Tibetan envoy all over, and was ** at that time.
Liudao Qingming shook his head again and again, as soon as Yang Guozhong died, the generals in the army forced the palace together, demanding that Yang Guifei must be executed, some of these generals resented the Yang family, and some were afraid that Yang Guifei would be favored again after the incident and come back to take revenge on the big guy. So this Yang Guifei must die.
Liudao Qingming sighed again when he said this: "At this time, the hermit of Zhongnan took me to the nearby temple, I still remember that there was a big pear tree in the temple, it was June at that time, the weather was not only dry but also rainy, the pear blossoms were gone, but I saw that the tree had snow-white pear blossoms again, not only flowers, but also fist-sized fragrant pears. I saw that the senior father-in-law held his fat belly and picked a few pears tremblingly, but they were given to the concubine to eat, it turned out that the concubine wanted to eat some fruit before she died, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was already embarrassed to this situation, so he could only pick some pear fruit from the temple tree and give it to his beloved woman to eat. ”
The hermit of Zhongnan took the six Qingming and never said a word, until the father-in-law Gao took a few little eunuchs to carry out Yang Guifei, who had fainted from crying, wrapped in white silk and hung on the pear tree, that the hermit of Zhongnan flicked his fingers. He used a pear to transform into the appearance of Yang Guifei, replacing the beautiful woman who was about to die, but he took the fainted concubine away in style, and the six Qingming, who witnessed all this, realized that the noble person who had a catastrophe in the mouth of the hermit in Zhongnan turned out to be Yang Guifei.
Li Shaoyang's heart was even more shocked than him, the ancient legend of the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago has now gotten the truth from the mouth of a ghost in Dongying, which sounds not only incredible, but also changes like a dream.
"Does that Junnan hermit have a name?" Li Shaoyang asked, "You should know." ”
Liudao Qingming shook his head: "I only know that his surname is Zhong, his appearance is bearded, he acts neatly and knows spells, but his speech is extremely gentle. ”
Li Shaoyang's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Sure enough, it's him, no wonder he can summon the Minotaur Ghost Face to come out and do things......" He motioned to Liudao Qingming to continue.
Liudao Qingming is pale, and what happened later can be described as his thousand-year-old nightmare. The Zhongnan hermit manipulated the monster to drive a car, and the unconscious concubine was housed in it, but he went to Yuhang along the land. Liudao Qingming was forced to follow on horseback, and asked him why he didn't take the waterway, and the hermit smiled and said: "The soul of the waterway is not under my control, it is not easy to control the ears, and the ghosts of the land are all my slaves, if you are tired, I can cast a spell now." ”
It turned out that he meant that he couldn't control the monsters on the waterway, so he didn't want to deal with them, but the demons and monsters on the land were all his slaves, so when the southern hermit started to do the law, eight little ghosts lifted the carriage and other things, and "flew" to Yuhang with a smoke.
When he arrived at the land of Yuhang Qiantang, the hermit of Zhongnan told the truth to Liudao Qingming, it turned out that he had already calculated that Yang Guifei had this difficulty, so he got acquainted with Liudao Qingming in advance, hoping that at this time, Liudao Qingming could take Yang Guifei to escape from this catastrophe.
After Liudao Qingming understood what he meant, he trembled with fright, and refused, he knelt on the ground and begged, saying that once this matter was exposed, no matter who the Tang Dynasty was in power, he would blame Dongying, maybe the emperor of the Tang Dynasty would order the army to attack Dongying, and Liudao Qingming really didn't dare to take this rotten potato.
Under the pleading, this Zhongnan hermit only sneered.
Li Shaoyang interrupted him again when he heard this: "That Zhongnan hermit has profound mana, and the ghosts on the land are all his slaves, he is so powerful, why did he use your identity to escape to Dongying?" ”
The six clear ghosts nodded and said, "That's what I asked at the time, his mana is so powerful, why do you have to use my identity." ”
The hermit sneered and said something inexplicable, and then impatiently killed Liudao Qingming and locked his soul in the painting......
Li Shaoyang was surprised: "What inexplicable words did he say?" ”
Liudao Qingming tried his best to recall: "It probably means that the space of the dungeon is going to be closed, the gods are all dormant, and his mana will disappear without the support of the dungeon, so he needs to use my identity to not only save the concubine, but also take the opportunity to find a place to retreat and sleep in Dongying......"
Li Shaoyang hesitantly: "I see! ”
Liudao Qingming has finished the whole story, and Li Shaoyang is also clear about the identity of the "monster" disguised as Liudao Qingming in the Qingming Well. Although the whole thing is treacherous, in the final analysis, it is a story of the underworld gods absconding with beautiful women.
Li Shaoyang summoned the little golden toad to come over, put away the soul sealing painting, and then showed the demon refining pot and collected the six clear ghosts, and then said: "Little golden toad, you prepare, I want to open the seal of the Styx stone and get to know the gentleman at the bottom of the well." ”
He couldn't wait, and if the ghost in the well was really the legendary one, it would be really interesting.
