Chapter 757: Venerable of the East Sea
Even if it is a famous mountain and river in the world, Dongyue Taishan, which is known as the honor of the five mountains, is also ranked among the grand scenes. Please Baidu search () Since ancient times, the land of Qilu is a treasure, and many sons of the Spring and Autumn Period have left a deep impression on the reporter.
In that year, the Great Qin Emperor had no grand ceremonial guard of honor before the ancients climbed to the top of Mount Tai, worshiped heaven and earth, and sealed the world. The legend of receiving the mandate of heaven has cast another layer of mystery on this famous mountain.
The previous emperors of the Han Dynasty actually came to worship Mount Tai at different times. Of course, it's not on a large scale. With Qin Shi Huang's enshrinement of Mount Tai, it is simply a small thing. And when today's son set off from Chang'an, he has made sufficient preparations in all aspects. Therefore, after entering the territory of Qi State, the road was covered by cars and horses, and the scale was unprecedentedly large.
The arrival of the holy car is not trivial. The five or six Han princes, kings, county guards and other officials who were divided into Qi were already a hundred miles away to greet them. The local garrison general led the troops and horses to martial law the road, and there is no need to elaborate on the matter.
Most of these people who greeted them had already learned a lot about what had happened along the way. There are not a few people who are worried. Especially the princes of Qi Land, they are even more emotionally complicated. On the one hand, it was surprising that Yuan Zhao, who had a great holiday with King Qi back then, finally died before coming here. As the sons and nephews of King Qi, they are naturally very relieved.
However, on the other hand, when the Holy Driver passed through Yan Zhao and Hejian, the things that happened were so appalling that no one could guess what His Majesty the Emperor really thought. If anything unexpected happens during the Holy Driver's stay in the Land of Qilu, then no one dares to say what the consequences will be.
Don't talk about them, it's the county guards, generals and officials of the land of Qilu, who are also trembling and walking on thin ice. Seeing that the emperor entered the palace after all the subjects had paid respects, everyone performed their duties and cheered up, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
The local offerings, the emperor's routine receptions and feasts, and various rewards, such tedious matters, were busy for two or three days. However, there were not many local officials who could actually meet the emperor himself. Even the princes and kings of Qidi who did not go to Chang'an to meet because they had to welcome the holy driver were just given a glass of water and wine by the emperor together with the county guards and generals.
According to the Emperor His Majesty's presiding over these matters, the Emperor Wuqiu Shouwang, the commander of the Yulin Army, said that the emperor traveled thousands of miles and was tired all the way, and he needed to rest well and prepare for the Dengtai Mountain Fengzen.
This matter is very important, and everyone who is a courtier knows how important it is. To put it mildly, the matter of sealing Zen is related to the peace of the country and the people, and the wind and rain are smooth. Even if all this is an illusory sustenance, since His Majesty the Emperor attaches such a big fanfare, it can be regarded as a bit of a slander, then no one dares to say anything publicly.
In fact, regarding the matter of His Majesty the Emperor's cultivation of the body, although what King Wuqiu Shou said was not wrong, there were still some reasons for inconvenience to make it public, and now it is absolutely confidential, and he will naturally not divulge half of it.
Soon after leaving Luoyang, Emperor Liu Che's physical condition had taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the attacks of hidden diseases that had been deeply suppressed by the drugs became more and more frequent, and the symptoms became more and more severe with each attack. The emperor was so miserable that he vomited blood. The medical officers of the Tai Hospital who followed were panicked, but they couldn't do anything. They didn't know why the emperor insisted on coming to the shore of the East China Sea, even when his physical condition did not allow for a long journey, he still had to hide it from everyone, why was this?
The emperor's mind, of course, is not something that a courtier can guess. Even if they were the only ones who knew his true condition, they didn't know that the emperor came here with great perseverance, one was to fulfill his long-cherished wish to seal the world. And the other more important reason is to wait for someone who can change his destiny for him!
As an emperor, he is far from having finished appreciating this prosperous world. Borrow from heaven for another thirty, fifty, or one hundred years...... Even 500 years is still not enough!
If it is said that a few years ago, the failures caused by those repeated requests for immortals made him feel gradually disappointed, and he no longer had any more illusions. So this time is different, Emperor Liu Che is holding on to the last hope, and came to the coast of the East China Sea to seek a good medicine that can delay life.
The emperor's palace is located in the city of Qi County, where many tall camphor trees are planted. The wind came from the mountains, and a few of them broke away from the trunks of the trees and fluttered and fell. The emperor, who gradually recovered after taking medicine and resting, opened his eyes slightly and felt that the sunlight in front of him was a little dazzling. A leaf fell on the placket of his robe, and he couldn't help but sigh as he looked at it with his fingertips.
Time is like flowing water, and it doesn't stay for anyone. When a leaf falls, you know that the world is autumn. When I left Chang'an, it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and when I walked to this land of Qilu, it was already the first time I saw the cool autumn breeze.
The attendants and eunuchs who watched the emperor wake up not far away hurriedly came over to listen to the orders. However, the emperor did not get up. The splendid couch is located next to the window of Xiaoxuan, and when you open the window, you can see the lush vegetation of the back garden.
"Maybe it won't be too long, the autumn wind is strong, the grass and trees are frosty, and autumn is really coming!"
His Majesty the Emperor said to himself with emotion, and he didn't need others to talk too much. The people who were waiting inside and outside were just waiting more carefully. Soon after, however, someone came in with a beaming face, bowed down to the emperor, and told him the good news that he had been waiting for a long time.
Under the strict vigilance of the Yulin Army, the person who can now enter and exit the palace at will is naturally the King of Shiwu Qiushou who has rapidly risen in status. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as proud and complacent. Everyone knows that he is already the number one celebrity in front of the emperor.
"Is that true? He's really coming! ”
After listening to the whispered briefing in his ear, the emperor perked up, and his tone was a little excited. Although I had heard King Wuqiu Shou say a few days ago that the man had already set off from the overseas Immortal Island, he didn't expect to come so quickly.
"How dare Weichen deceive Your Majesty! His Holiness Donghai waited outside the palace for an audience. Your Majesty, do you want to ......?"
"Of course! You go, on behalf of me, welcome His Holiness in. Don't be lazy! ”
The emperor motioned to his attendants to change his clothes, and at the same time instructed King Wuqiu Shou to hurry up and greet him outside the palace gate. He's been waiting for this guy for a long time, and now he's finally here, hoping to bring a surprise!
The wind comes from the sea, and one day to Mount Tai. Standing outside the palace of Qi County, the Venerable of the East China Sea, holding a silk brush, his beard is white, and he is not stained with dust. He looked at King Wuqiu Shou who came out to greet him quietly, and only nodded slightly, but did not show the relationship between them.
King Wuqiu Shou led the Venerable of the East China Sea to the palace. Turning the corridor, where there was no one nearby, he could no longer hold back the joy in his heart, and whispered excitedly.
"Master, you're finally here! That's great. ”
Venerable Donghai smiled indifferently. For decades, he took refuge on a deserted island in the East China Sea, and there were not many disciples from his disciples. And the most outstanding of them are King Wuqiu Shou and Mo Fengzi. Not long ago, he received a letter from King Wuqiu Shou, detailing what happened in Zhao. Venerable Donghai was shocked and angry, the disciple he had high hopes for was actually killed, and the enemy was so powerful, how could he be willing to give up if he didn't take revenge!
"Needless to say. Now that I'm here, everything can be considered in the long run. ”
Hearing him say this, King Wuqiu Shou nodded again and again. He knows the master's ability best. Needless to say, cultivation is a martial art, it is a mental strategy, and it is a rare opponent in the world.
"It's just a pity, I heard on the way here that Yuan Zhao is dead, this matter may be certain?"
"Master rest assured! He is indeed dead. Although he failed to avenge Senior Brother Mo Fengzi with his own hands, it was enough to eliminate the hatred in his heart. ”
Unexpectedly, Venerable Donghai's face did not show any overjoyed expression. Half of the reason why he returned from the sea was for the emperor, and the other half was for a meeting with the world-famous Changle Hou Yuanzhao. But I didn't expect him to die so easily. The so-called invincible in the world, the loneliness of the master, is his current mood.
"Well, let's not talk about that. You have always been by the emperor's side, do you know what his true condition is?"
King Wuqiu Shou, who peeked at the expression on the face of the Venerable of the East China Sea, quickly restrained his smile. This matter is very important, but in front of the master, it is not sloppy at all.
"The doctors are very tight-lipped, and it is difficult to get the most real first-hand situation. However, according to my secret observation, the hidden disease of His Majesty is probably very serious, and there should be no good medicine to cure it in ......the court. ”
Getting closer and closer to the heavily guarded place, King Wuqiu Shou stopped talking and said no more. He believed that the master would be able to understand the meaning of his words, and as for how to consider the operation, it was inconvenient to ask more now.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the returnees from overseas saw the present day of the Venerable One. He only glanced at it, and he had already judged in his mind that it was not far from ten.
"His Holiness has come from afar, and he has worked hard all the way. Is there anything to teach me? ”
The emperor's polite voice was tinged with eagerness. After Venerable Donghai saluted, he smiled and nodded, and then reached out to hold a jade porcelain vase.
"I refined a few pills with overseas immortal recipes, and I specially came to present them to Your Majesty!"
The chief eunuch hurriedly took it, opened it and put it in front of the emperor. Pills, pills again! Suddenly thinking of the matter of King Zhao's class, Emperor Liu Che frowned tightly, as if he felt his chest churning and uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. These pills of mine are made with morning dew as jade liquid, with thousand-year-old He Shou Wu as refining material, and adding various precious medicinal materials from overseas islands, boiling it for a long time to refine. After taking it, I feel refreshed and healthy. As for whether it has any effect, Your Majesty will know as soon as you try it. ”
The emperor was overjoyed. Three days later, when you want to climb Mount Tai and seal the Zen ceremony, you need to have the best mental state. Sure enough, the elixir came at the right time!
