278 Sun Quan seeks immortals

The emperor is old, looking for immortals all over the world, begging for long live.

The most typical is Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages. He heard that there are three islands on the sea, Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou, which are where the gods live, and there is a "medicine of immortality", and after taking it, you can "live forever".

The first emperor was very moved when he heard this, and fantasized about becoming an immortal who "lives forever". In the 28th year, Xu Fu of Qi wrote about the fairyland of the sea, and Qin Shi Huang sent him to levy thousands of boys and women to go to the sea to seek immortals.

In 32 years, the first emperor made Yan people Lu Sheng seek the traces of immortals such as Xianmen and Gao Oath, and later made Han Tong, Hou Gong, and Shi Sheng ask for immortal medicine.

At this time, Xu Fu went into the sea to seek immortals, and spent a lot of money, but he couldn't get the medicine.

The first emperor already felt deceived in his heart, so he ordered the imperial history case to ask all the living beings, exposing each other and implicating more than 460 people, and the first emperor ordered them to be buried alive in Xianyang. This is the famous "pit Confucian".

…… ……

Not only the First Emperor, but which emperor before and after did not follow the example of the First Emperor? It's just that some are "quietly" and some are "vigorous".

In Sun Quan's later years, he did not "quietly" or "boom" to seek immortality, visited immortals, and traveled all over the south of the Yangtze River.

At that time, it was said that there was a god in Luoyang County, Linhai County, who called himself Wang Biao, who spoke and ate like a person, but he couldn't see his appearance. The sky is dayless, and the people are circling around the people in the air, but people can never see the god form attached to the king's watch.

The god who called himself the king's watch had a maidservant named Spinning with him.

When Wang Biao was talking to people, there was that attendant on the side.

So some people said that what Wang Biao said was the words of the man called Textile Servant.

Immediately, someone retorted, saying, "When I talked to Wang Shenxian, I didn't see the mouth of the textile move, how could there be a mouth that didn't move?" Besides, the words he said were obviously a man's voice, and he was a little woman, so why did he make a man's voice? Also, what he said with Wang Shenxian is not a mundane word, it is a profound meaning, a little woman, how can you know? ”

No one else refutes it.

…… ……

This month, Sun Quan sent Li Chong, a Zhongshulang, to greet Wang Biao with a letter from the auxiliary general Luo Yang.

Wang Biao, Li Chong, and the county commanders present talked about it, but no one could argue with him.

The mountains and rivers he had experienced were very numerous, and he often made his maidservants and the gods attached to him look and hear.

In the autumn and July, Li Chong accompanied Wang Biao to meet him, and Sun Quan built a residence for him outside the Canglong Gate, and asked his close ministers to send him wine and food several times.

Wang Biao's prophecy of some floods and droughts was very effective.

On the first day of the eighth month, a strong wind blew, the rivers and seas swelled, and the water accumulated eight feet deep on the flat ground, and the pines and cypresses in the area of Wu Gaoling (now in the west of Danyang County, Jiangsu, where Sun Jian's tomb is located) were uprooted, and the south gate of the county town also flew down.

This incident was accurately foreseen by Wang Biao, and because of this, there was no one in the Wu Kingdom who was not convinced, kowtowed to the air, and called it "Great Immortal!" ”

Sun Quan received the king's watch, and the palace knew the number of courtesies and the king's watch, but he did not comply, only his attendant Biao Bianji knelt down to kowtow to Sun Quan, and said: "My master is a god, and it is inconvenient to bow down, and I hope my emperor will understand." ”

Sun Quan was terminally ill at this time, and he couldn't sit steadily, but he said, "It's okay, dare to ask Shangxian Ke to beg me for longevity?" ”

The king in the air said, "With my treasure, I went to heaven to seek 500 years of longevity for Emperor Wu." ”

Sun Quan was overjoyed and ordered, "Prepare a lot of treasures and give them to the gods!" ”

Li Chong, who was beside Sun Quan, thought to himself, what is the use of being an immortal and asking for treasures? Accidentally, I said what I was thinking.

Wang Biao picked up the conversation and said, "Heaven and mortal world are all the way, and there is a way that 'where you don't pour oil and where you don't turn around', and Heaven also has to be bribed, not bribe, just give you a longevity road?" ”

Sun Quan came to the spirit and said, "Yes, yes, that Shoulu is not blown by the wind, how can you not use the gift of treasure?" ”

Sun Quan instructed his subordinates to prepare three carts of gold and silver treasures and send the king watch on the road.

Sun Quan bowed to the air and said, "When will the Great Immortal return?" ”

Wang Biao said in the air, "If it is less than half a month, if it is more than a month, it will rush back." ”

Sun Quan had nothing to do, if it weren't for the fact that he was the emperor, he would have knelt down and kowtowed.

Three trailers, with three coachmen, went out of the capital and went straight to the southwest.

Six days later, when the three coachmen returned to the court, Li Chong asked, "Why are you here?" ”

The three bosses said, "One hundred and ten miles out of the city, there were three prime of life, Wang Shenxian asked to hand over the carriage to the three people, we didn't dare to disobey, handed over the frame to the three people, and we came back." ”

Li Chong hurriedly asked, "Where did they go?" ”

The boss said, "There are mountains and mountains everywhere, and they disappeared less than a moment after they drove away, and I don't know where they were." ”

Li Chong said, "Hurry up and chase the horse!" ”

However, at this time, news came from the palace that Sun Quan Yan was driving.

Li Chong waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let her go......"

…… ……

Looking at this record in the biography of Sun Quan in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it seems that even the author Chen Shou himself has not figured out that there are invisible people in the world? He must have felt unfathomable and incomprehensible, so he would call him "God" in the book.

According to the records of Fang Zhi, there is a Wang Biao Temple in Daluo Mountain, Wenzhou, whether it is his former residence, it is difficult to confirm.

But one thing is very clear, that is, Sun Quan's envoy Li Chong, as well as Huiji Taishou, Yongning County Order, etc., when they went to meet Wang Biao and Spinning, and on the way to the capital Jianye (now Nanjing), there were various tests on Wang Biao for more than a month, but they didn't seem to find any problems.

It's just weird.

Six days after Wang Biao accepted the treasure given by Sun Quan, Sun Quan fell ill and died.

Twenty-nine years later, Wu was destroyed by Jin; In another thirty-six years, the Western Jin Dynasty perished; Another hundred years, the Eastern Jin Dynasty perished.

By the time Pei Songzhi, a university scholar, came to be Yongjia Taishou, the time had passed for one hundred and seventy-five years.

I think Lao Pei must have worked hard to study Wang Biao. Because he annotated the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", learned from the books, supplemented the differences, and noted the king's affairs, in addition to quoting the "Wu Lu" to indicate that Luoyang County was Angu County (now the southern counties of Wenzhou) during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was to copy Sun Shengyu, saying: "When I heard that the country would be prosperous, I listened to the people; The kingdom is about to die, and listen to God. The right is old and declining, the slander is on the side, the concubine is abolished, and the concubine is his wife, which can be described as a lot of cool virtue. And the false talismans, seeking blessings and evil spirits, and the signs of imminent death are not also revealed!"

Sun Sheng was a Confucianism in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Jin family was corrupt and lost his foundation, he fled to the south, eating the food of the southerners, and still full of local chauvinism. As for the "Nanban" Wang Biao of the previous dynasty, why did he come and go in the air and not see his figure, Sun Sheng couldn't explain it, so he scolded people for being demons.

People like Sun Sheng don't even have the least spirit of exploration, they lie to the world, and they don't know anything, so they are really the scourge of the country. Pei Songzhi is different from Sun Sheng, and he quotes Sun Sheng's words, mainly to show the different voices of history.

But it also shows a problem, Pei Songzhi's research on Wang Biao and Textile during Yongjia's tenure did not find a basis to deny the objective existence of his person and his affairs, and there were no new results. Maybe there were, but then someone lost it. In the end, people couldn't see the unraveling, and the old mystery has been hanging until now.

…… ……

Now there is the appearance of ventriloquism, or what clues can be found for the king watch who can speak in the air: all this, is it all the little girl named Spinning who made a ghost drawing? How dare she be such a big demon? Just because she can speak ventriloquist and bluff the emperor and ministers? So, who are the three people who took the three trailers?
