Chapter Ninety-Five: The Donkey Skills Are Poor
After the continuous autumn rains, the weather is getting cooler day by day, the grass and trees are gradually withering, and the world is bleak.
This is the process of nature repeating itself, but in Liu Che's eyes, it makes him feel more and more that life is short, "What about Luanda? Why haven't you returned to Beijing yet? Liu Che had asked about Luan Da's whereabouts more than once, but the answers he got each time were not satisfactory to him, and as time passed, the fear in his heart became deeper and deeper, and he began to doubt the way of immortality that he once believed in.
"Your Majesty! Exultation! Xiao Huangmen entered the palace with a happy face and said, "The Heavenly Dao General has obtained the art of immortality in the East China Sea, and now he has entered Chang'an City!" ”
"Really? That's great! Liu Che, who was still looking scared just now, suddenly glowed with light on his face when he heard this, "Quick!" I'm going to meet the Heavenly Dao General in front of Weiyang Palace! ”
"No!" Xiao Huangmen responded happily, and hurriedly came over to help Liu Che to walk outside the hall.
An hour later, Liu Che finally saw Luan Da on the tower of Weiyang Palace, only to see him wearing a Tiandao hat, wearing a wide-sleeved square robe, holding a simple wooden box and kneeling down on the ground and saying: "The subordinate Luan Da lives up to Your Majesty's trust and brings the elixir of immortality to Your Majesty!" Yan Bi presented the wooden box in his hand.
"Good!" Liu Che was overjoyed when he heard this, and the depression that had been in his heart for a long time suddenly dissipated, "General Tiandao has worked hard all the way!" Liu Che took the wooden box presented by Luan Da and opened it, only to see that there were nine bean-sized dark pills inside, "This is... Immortal elixir? Liu Che looked at the pill in his hand and looked at Luan Da suspiciously.
"Back to Your Majesty! This elixir is called the Flying Elixir, and if you take it, you can get an immortal body, and it is handed over to the subordinates by the family teacher An Qisheng. Luan Da replied respectfully.
"Are you serious?" Liu Che looked urgent, but he was a little suspicious, "Why did I send several groups of people to the East China Sea, but I couldn't find any trace of you?" ”
"Your Majesty, is this the minister's!" Luan Da said with a little self-blame, "One day in the sea, one year in the world, the subordinate saw the family teacher in the sea, and the family teacher gave the subordinate to eat the jujube the size of a melon, and the subordinate did not see the family teacher for a long time and did not forget the time, and after eating the dates, he realized that half a day had passed, and the subordinate hurriedly told His Majesty's intention to the family teacher, and the family teacher took out this wooden box and let the minister hand it over to His Majesty. ”
"Oh? I see! Liu Che nodded convincingly, and said, "There is such a thing in the world, I wonder when I will be lucky enough to go to the sea to see the Lingshi?" ”
"Your Majesty, the family teacher has a strange temperament, if you are together, you will see it, if you don't meet it, you will hide it, everything depends on fate!" Luan said respectfully.
"Hmm..." Liu Che nodded, rubbing the wooden box with both hands, and said to the little yellow door beside him for a long time: "Go and bring the jade shavings, I want to take the elixir." ”
"Your Majesty, wait!" Luan Da hurriedly stopped, "Your Majesty, the Flying Immortal Pill is a miracle medicine in the world, and the family master has repeatedly instructed that you must fast and bathe for seven days before taking it, and you must take it every nine days with jade shavings and clear flower dew, so that after nine hundred and eighty-one days, this medicine can give birth to immortal qi in the body." ”
"In the past, after the Yellow Emperor took this pill, one day auspicious clouds appeared, the flying dragon suddenly appeared, and the dragon beard fell to lead the Yellow Emperor to become an immortal, and the harem of the ministers followed more than 70 people who went to the dragon, but no one was allowed to go up, only the Yellow Emperor rode the flying dragon alone." Speaking of the Yellow Emperor's immortalization, Luan Da seemed to have seen it with his own eyes, and his words were vivid and colorful, which made Liu Che's heart move.
"Huh? I can be like the Yellow Emperor, and I can treat my wife like abandoning my ears! Liu Che's eyes are full of yearning, if he can become an immortal, this country, this group of ministers, this wife and son, it is not like an old shoe to throw it away.
"Your Majesty will definitely get your wish!" Luan Da smiled and congratulated.
"Good! I've been waiting for this day! Liu Che stroked the wooden box in his hand and said with unconcealable excitement.
----
Since Luan's great dedication to the Dan, Liu Che has become more and more obsessed with the way of seeking immortals, and the court issued a decree to order the prince to supervise the country, while he himself retreated and cultivated in the greenhouse hall, in order to give birth to immortal qi in his body after 9981 days, and one day he can fly into an immortal like the Yellow Emperor.
The affairs of the court are still carried out in an orderly manner, and the sacrifices, dignitaries, and agricultural mulberry are all running properly within the original track, smooth and orderly, but there are people who are worried under the stable court.
"Brother Du, Your Majesty has been in retreat for more than a month, right?" At dusk, Jiang Chong, the messenger of embroidered clothes, and Du Zhou, the commander of the court, drank and talked about each other.
Du Zhou picked up the wine bottle, took a sip, nodded and said, "Yes, today is the thirty-eighth day." ”
"That's... This Imperial Governor's Mansion... How? Jiang Chong looked at Du Zhou meaningfully and asked.
"What else?" Du Zhou picked up the wine bottle and drank it all, "Clean, depressed, there is nothing to do!" Du Zhou dropped the wine bottle heavily and said dejectedly.
Jiang Chong sighed, refilled a bottle of wine for Du Zhou, and said with empathy: "It's the same below, there is nothing to do, and it dissipates to the extreme!" ”
"Alas!" Du Zhou muttered, "Your Majesty still has forty-three days before you can get out of the customs, bear with it!" ”
"I can survive eighty-one days now, but what about the future?" Jiang Chong said with a worried face, "Your Majesty has ordered the crown prince to supervise the country, if it is still the same after leaving the customs, how will Brother Du and Jiang deal with themselves in the future?" ”
Jiang Chong's words poked Du Zhou's heart, for many years he has been praised by Liu Che for his strict law enforcement, but this future monarch, the current crown prince Liu is benevolent and generous, resists the cool law, and his style of action is incompatible with him.
"How do you deal with yourself?" Du Zhou picked up the wine bottle, seemed to be talking to himself, and sneered, "How can you deal with yourself?" With that, he drank all the wine in the bottle.
Seeing Du Zhou like this, Jiang Chong's heart was filled with unspeakable fear, back then he had a gap with the crown prince Liu Zhichi, if the prince was on the throne, then he..., Jiang Chong didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The two faced each other silently, Jiang Chong picked up the wine bottle in front of him and poured a sip of hot and spicy wine.

In the blink of an eye, there was a drizzle on the mo, and the willow tips turned green.
After practicing in retreat for 9981 days, Liu Che only felt relaxed and extremely comfortable.
"General Tiandao, I have taken the elixir according to the will of the commander, and I only feel that the body is accessible and comfortable, and there seems to be immortal qi breeding." The first thing he did when he came out of the customs was to summon Luan Da, and Liu Che couldn't help but say to him.
Luan Da carefully looked at Liu Che's complexion and congratulated: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's body is unimpeded, and the birth of immortal qi is the first step to ascending to immortality!" ”
"Hahaha! Good! Liu Che stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "If I ascend to the immortal, the Heavenly Dao General is indispensable!" ”
"This is Your Majesty's cultivation, and the subordinates don't dare to take credit!" Luan Da said with a humble face, "However, the road to immortality is long, and it depends on fate, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will definitely be able to fly into an immortal." ”
"Hmm!" Liu Che nodded and said, "Since I have been given medicine by the teacher, I will be rewarded!" Therefore, I plan to personally bring a heavy gift into the East China Sea and pay a visit to the Lingshi to show my gratitude! ”
Luan Da panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has a heart!" Just do it for your subordinates! ”
"Whoa!" Liu Che stopped and said, "No! I must go to this matter in person to show my sincerity! ”
"General Tiandao is my messenger, I will go to the sea for me to invite a commander, I want to thank you in person!" Liu Che looked at Luan Dazheng and said, "This matter must not be done by the Heavenly Dao General!" ”
"But Your Majesty..."Luan Da's face was difficult, "The family teacher's temperament is unpredictable, if you agree, you will see, if you don't agree, you will hide, and the minister will not dare to guarantee it... The tutor will definitely go to sea to see each other. ”
"I believe that sincerity is the result of gold and stone!" Liu Che said with confidence, "The heart of my fist, how can the master not know?" Moreover, the flying elixir was also given by the commander, so if I go here, how can the commander not see it? And so it was settled! ”
Seeing that Liu Che was full of interest, Luan Da didn't dare to brush his mind anymore, so he had to respond respectfully: "No! ”
----
On a spring day, the holy car sets off.
The royal chariot is driven by six fine horses, the body is inlaid with gold, silver and jade, the carvings are extremely gorgeous, and the auxiliary carriage of several horses behind the imperial chariot is full of all kinds of rare treasures, gold ayaluo, which is Liu Che sent to Penglai in the East China Sea as a thank you gift. All the way to the flag, the armor guards, the mighty march, the Son of Heaven patrols, the majesty of the world, along the way officials and people all kneeling to the ground to welcome.
To the East China Sea along the road Hui Feng and smooth, the clouds reflect the red, it is a very pleasant thing, but Luan Da is full of worries, there is no time to take care of the beautiful scenery all the way, and he has to accompany him in the daytime, and he is more careful with a look of twelve points, only at night and in the middle of the day, he dares to sigh alone.
Everyone in the world sees that he is equipped with six great seals of the gods, and he is the emperor's son-in-law, who is extremely noble, and who knows that his wealth is also a sword dancing and taking millet from the fire? Now that this wealth is coming to an end, can Luan Dayan not be in a hurry?
The moonlight was light, the surroundings were silent, and Luan Da still had no sleep. Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound outside the window, and by the moonlight, Luan Da saw a black magpie jumping left and right on the treetops outside, fluttering and taking off, as if looking for a suitable nesting spot.
After more than ten days, the royal car finally arrived at the shore of the East China Sea, the local officials had already prepared the palace to welcome the car, Liu Che took a break for three days, and took a group of people to wait for incense in the East China Sea to worship.
"Disciple Liu Che thanked the immortal master for giving him the flying elixir, so he came to thank him with a gift, and begged the immortal master to receive him!" Liu Che wore a crown on his head, dressed in a dragon robe, and said with a solemn and pious expression.
Wisps of smoke dispersed in the air, Luan Da was dressed in a Taoist robe and held a fairy whisk in his hand, standing behind Liu Che, closing his eyes and muttering: "The family teacher is above, Your Majesty is concentrating on the Tao, a piece of sincerity, and I hope that the family teacher will see each other!" ”
With Luan Da's chatter, Liu Che looked eagerly at the sea, but after a long time, the sea was still calm and unusual. After waiting for nearly an hour, the sea was still the same, Liu Che couldn't wait and said to Luan Dao: "General Tiandao, why is the Lingshi not seen for a long time, why don't you go into the sea and ask the Venerable Master to come out?" ”
Luan Damian did not change his face and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the last time the subordinate went to the sea to see the family teacher, it was also the family teacher who sent the boy to hold the splitting beads, if there is no splitting beads, the subordinates will not be able to see it." ”
"Splitting beads?" Liu Che couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "Why have I never heard of this pearl?" ”
"Your Majesty, the splitting bead is the treasure of the Penglai Immortal Palace, the whole body is turquoise, such as the size of a cat's eye, holding the splitting bead into the sea, the waves will be separated from the left and right, and you can enter the secret realm of the Immortal Palace from this channel." Luan Da said unhurriedly, describing it as if it was just right.
"Oh..."Liu Che nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I see! The treasures of Asgard, I don't know when I will be lucky enough to see them. ”
"Your Majesty, treasures have always been destined to be found, and if the time comes, you will see them!" Luan's loud voice did not fall, and suddenly a gust of wind blew on the sea, and the sky suddenly darkened, Liu Che couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this: "General Tiandao, this is the time you said!" After that, he looked at the sea more and more urgently, looking forward to the boy in the sea coming with a chopping bead and stepping on the waves, welcoming him into the fairy palace as a guest.
Unexpectedly, the sky was dark for only half a moment, and then the light was revealed, and the strong wind on the sea surface was gone, Liu Che waited for a long time and still didn't see the boy appear, disappointed and tired, he couldn't help but say: "It seems that the commander will not appear today." ”
Luan Da hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the right day is a vision, it should be the family teacher who knows that His Majesty is coming, if the family teacher is willing to summon him in the next few days, he will definitely send an envoy to inform the minister." ”
When Liu Che heard this, he suddenly became interested again, and couldn't help asking, "The messenger of the commander?" But the sea boys? ”
Luan Da pretended to shake his head mysteriously, and said: "The messenger of the family teacher, sometimes a bird, sometimes a beast, and so on, it all depends on the time and opportunity. ”
"There are such magical powers!" Liu Che sighed when he heard this, "I'm looking forward to it!" ”
"Your Majesty is also tired today, it is better to rest early, and then report to Your Majesty when the minister receives the message from the family teacher!" Luan Da said with concern.
"Good!" Liu Che nodded, "It's all about now!" ”
