[003] The road is invincible
In the two Han Dynasty, especially in the former Han Dynasty, the doctrine of Huang Lao prevailed, and the theory of immortals also became very popular.
Those who are far away such as the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu, these ancient characters have become immortals; Those who are close to each other are like An Qisheng more than 200 years ago, and the original hermit scholars have also become overseas immortals who "eat giant jujubes, as big as melons", and "through Penglai, if you are together, you can see people, and if you don't agree, you will hide".
During the time of Emperor Gao, Zhang Liang "learned to open the valley and lead the way to lighten the body" in order to become an immortal, if it wasn't for Empress Lu to persuade him to eat, I am afraid that he would have become a starving ghost.
During the time of Emperor Wen, Liu Heng was also keen on immortal Taoism for a time, but later because of the exposure of Fang Shi Xin Yuanping's deception, he was "negligent in correcting, serving, and ghosts and gods".
By the time of the Han Dynasty, the tide of seeking immortals surged. Liu Che set up various miscellaneous shrines such as [Fei Lian], [Pavilion], [Yanshou Pavilion], etc., sealed the Zen ceremony, cruised the sea, and was obsessed with fairy things. "Between Yan and Qi, the Fang Shi was dumbfounded, and there were tens of thousands of people who sacrificed to bless the gods."
When Emperor Xuan, "the revival of the immortal arts", "the story of Emperor Wu, the car clothes, the gift of the Qi Temple, quite poetry. ”
……
By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, even the upsurge and dream of cultivating immortals for all people set off during the Wu Zhaoxuan period had been shattered. However, some methods such as "Bigu Eating Qi, Guiding Qi, and Performing Arts" are still circulating and receiving among princes and nobles. That hope for longevity still exists in the people's thoughts.
Nowadays, eating fish can obtain water and fire fairy; No, you can also go to [White Tiger Mountain] to seek immortals.
The form of an immortal has never been so close as it is today.
The tide of cultivating immortals for all people has already taken place.
Outside the Xuanyang Gate, 10,000 people knelt down, and their thoughts were surging.
"Get up."
When the children's voice fell in the sky, everyone slowly got up.
A boy of about five feet, with a beautiful maid, stood in the peach forest hanging in the air. Descend from the clouds.
"Bye...... Meet the King! ”
The residents inside and outside Luoyang City, and the merchants and villagers who followed all the way under the peach forest, saw the true face of the king and the immortal method of "controlling the auspicious clouds", and couldn't help but bow and worship again.
King Yan hurriedly raised his hand to stop: "Stop!" ”
After everyone bowed again, they looked at the [White Tiger King] in front of them one by one.
Five-foot children, living in fairy towns, driving clouds.
Immortals, when it is!
"By the will of the Son of Heaven, welcome [White Tiger King] to Beijing to watch the ceremony!" Zhang Rang spoke first and screamed.
"On the order of the general, welcome King Yan into Beijing!" Xun You's voice was soft and clear.
Yan Xiaoyi's jaw head signaled. glanced at the [Immortal Gate] disciples standing on the left and right, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "You will come forward and greet you." ”
After all the disciples glanced at each other, Guan Yu, the top of the [Hero List], turned over and jumped down from the [Immortal Beast] Tyrannosaurus and stepped forward.
"[Xianmen] disciple Guan Yu, I have seen you."
"[Xianmen] disciple Xiahoudun, I have seen you."
"[Xianmen] disciple Wu Luo ......"
“……”
With the ups and downs of "I have seen you". Discussion began in the crowd.
"The first person is Guan Yunchang of [Thousand Miles of Gifts]."
"Xiahoudun? Cao Ren? Isn't it the brother of [Xianmeng] Cao Mengde? ”
"Yes. However, it may not be long before we change our rhetoric - 'This person is the brother of [Xianmen] Xiahoudun." ”
"Look at the Red Armor Man!"
……
"[Xianmen] disciple Yuan Shu. I've seen you. ”
The roar of the Yuan family's sister-in-law immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
"Yuan Changshui, a ghost in the middle of the road?"
"This guy is really lucky, he actually entered the [Immortal Gate]!"
"The second son of the Yuan family used to be just 'talking about the concubine'. After today. I'm afraid it's different! ”
Yuan Shu listened to everyone's discussions, his face was calm, but secretly his heart was full of joy.
I'm Yuan Highway. There will be a day when the wind will be on display!
※※※
After the disciples finished the ceremony, there were acquaintances such as [Xianmen] Yuan Shao, [Wei Xiangyu] Zhang Fei, etc., who stepped forward to speak.
King Yan saw that the city gate had been blocked for a long time, and it was not conducive to exchanges, so he said "enter the city" to Zhang Rang and others, that is, Zongyun went back to the peach forest in the sky.
Zhang Rang, Xun You, Yuan Shao and others, with the captain of the city gate, dispersed the crowd of onlookers, and then drove the beasts into the city.
After Zhang Rang led Liu Wei and Cai Yong to say goodbye, Xun You came over and asked the disciples of the [Xianmen] with a smile: "The king is lying in the immortal township, and he does not eat the fireworks in the world." But the immortals need a place to rest. You happen to know a pure place, how about you follow me and look at it? ”
"Thank you."
[Yishou Pavilion], built by General He, the Son of Heaven gave it a name.
The buildings are one after another, and the houses are like each other. What still satisfies everyone is the special [Alien Beast Column] in this museum, which is a place dedicated to the storage and conservation of alien beasts.
The sons of [Xianmen] then stayed there. King Yan also drove [Taoyuan Xianxiang] to hover ten zhang on the top of the [Yishou Pavilion].
Countless Luoyang residents immediately gathered outside the hall, kneeling and worshipping as if they were outside the city gate.
King Yan raised his forehead and sighed - Luoyang traveled, I am afraid it will be difficult to make the trip.
After eating the delicacies specially served in the [Yishou Pavilion], the disciples originally planned to continue their own cultivation, but when they heard Xun You talk about the [Alien Beast Market] in the city, they were very interested.
[Alien Beast Market], a place in Luoyang City where alien beasts are traded. It was extremely hot before, but these days are very depressed and deserted.
"Let's take a look!"
Pan Feng and others were overjoyed, [Strange Beast] is almost cumbersome and riotous for the current Luoyang, Kyoto. However, for the people in the [Immortal Gate], it is equivalent to [Immortal Beast]!
After obtaining the king's permission, all the disciples, along with Xiu'er, rushed to the [Alien Beast Market] in the west of the city.
And King Yan, observe the millet seedlings that have just broken the ground and sprout for a while, weed, and sprinkle water. Then lying under the peach forest, while distracting [Yan Yun], he opened the "Attribute Panel".
In the column of "Carrier of Faith", the figures that had been slowing down the growth rate soared again.
King Yan nodded with satisfaction, it was not in vain that King [Xianxiang] traveled west and came far here.
Next, let's draw a lottery.
Yan Xiaoyi thought so, and did it casually.
"Ding!"
[Blue Dragon Fragments]!
Could it be that you can summon a miniature version of the [Blue Dragon]?
With a hint of doubt, King Yan looked carefully-
[Blue Dragon Fragment], 1/255. Collect 255 pieces to summon the Sacred Beast [Green Dragon].
Two hundred and fifty-five?
King Yan suddenly lost interest, and when he changed hands and wanted to draw a lottery. There was a shout from under the peach forest.
"King, the Hedong Wei family offers a spirit beast, ask for a sight!"
Didn't you already tell the owner of the Yishou Pavilion, "I will not accept any foreign guests"?
Hedong Weijia? Spirit beasts?
As soon as he thought of this, King Yan became a little interested, stepped out of the clouds, and landed in the [Yishou Pavilion].
"King, the spirit beast is here."
The head of the Hedong Wei family, the youngest son is seriously ill. Although seeking medical treatment from all directions. However, the medicine stone cannot chase its disease. Later, please [White Tiger City Guard] Chen Chen cast immortal arts, and he had to prolong his life for two months. and continued with [Xianjia Lingshen], and lived for more than a month.
Now the forty days of [spiritual ginseng] are approaching, and the sick child is dying and dying. The head of the Wei family was helpless and knelt down in front of the Yishou Pavilion. It happened that the owner of the hall was a friend for him, and he couldn't bear to see this, and this person did have a strange little beast to offer, so he knelt on the ground with him and shouted.
After the owner of the museum explained the situation awkwardly. The head of the Nawei family stepped forward and bowed deeply, and then handed over a small hairy beast that was struggling.
The head and tail are short, black and white, plump and rich, and fat like a young bear.
Panda!
King Yan was overjoyed.
Less than two feet. The fleshy, soft little guy threw himself into the king's arms as soon as he got out of his hand. Curled up in a circle, spinning happily.
This little national treasure. It's actually a spirit beast like a small crane and a nine-tailed fox.
"I beg the king to help, and the Wei family will be grateful!"
"Your young son, but your name is 'Zhongdao'? But there is a marriage contract with Cai Bojiao's daughter? ”
King Yan's first words. That's the question. The head of the Wei family sighed secretly, "I know the world, and I have great magical powers", and nodded busily.
"Break off the marriage contract with that Cai daughter and come here again."
"Dissolution of the marriage?" The head of the Wei family was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed, and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you for your grace!" Thank you for your grace! ”
King Yan raised his hand to signal, the head of the Wei family got up, and after thanking the hall owner, he happily went to find Cai Yong.
"If anyone comes, they won't see anything, especially Cai Bojiao."
"Obey the king's order!"
At nightfall, the disciples of the [Xianmen] drove a group of [alien beasts] back to the hall.
Pan Feng got a [Iron Armored Young Bear], Wu Luo got a [Two-Headed Peregrine Falcon], and although the rest didn't get anything, they said that the [Strange Beast Market] gradually returned to its previous liveliness because of the disciples, and there should be another harvest in two or three days.
"King, why did you stop Cai Weng from outside the hall?"
Cai Weng jumped to his feet in anger and asked the reason, but he didn't answer.
For the doubts of the disciples, King Yan did not answer, but just smiled.
Early the next morning, the rumor that "the fairy chose Cai Nu as a servant" spread all over Luoyang City. It is rumored that Cai Bo was overjoyed when he heard this, and fainted on the spot.
At noon the next day, the matter of "the fairy choosing a girl to serve as a servant" was widely known. It is rumored that the Son of Heaven angrily threw the food case in Guangde Palace, and reprimanded the emperor's eldest son Liu Wei on the grounds of "lazy women's affairs".
The next day, at dusk, the rumor that "the immortals chose the winner as their disciples" quickly spread among the [Strangers]. In the middle of the night and the early morning of the next day, the price of the long-tailed red fish, a delicacy of the fairy family, increased sharply from the previous 800 yuan per fish to 161. However, demand still exceeds supply. Especially for tens of thousands of references, they will stop eating until they are full and want to vomit.
※※※
On the fifteenth day of the first month, west of Luoyang City.
The Son of Heaven came, and the prince sat down.
After a few short sentences, the Son of Heaven announced the beginning of [Dabi].
Before others could move, Yuan Shu, the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, crossed the [immortal beast] tyrannosaurus and jumped onto the high platform.
Everyone was stunned, didn't this guy come to watch the ceremony? How can you still take the stage?
"Yuan Benchu, you and I agreed to 'March 1 comparison' a year ago, but you didn't expect that you had no courage to escape first......
"Highway and stop, Shao is to return to Beijing on his father's orders and participate in the [Ability Competition], not to flee without a fight!"
"Ha, how about you and I renew the previous contract today?"
"This is [Ability Dabi], not you [White Tiger Mountain Dabi]!"
"Aren't you scared again?"
"You ......"
"Originally," looking at Yuan Shu who was messing around on the stage, Liu Hong frowned, and suddenly said to Yuan Shao with a smile, "You go on stage and compete with the highway." ”
Yuan Shao was helpless, came to the stage, looked at the mighty and majestic [Tyrannosaurus], frowned, and said: "Highway control this beast, even if it defeats me, it will not be able to win." ”
Yuan Shu smiled and said, "Even if you don't use [Immortal Beast], it won't be a matter of effort to defeat you!" ”
Yuan Shao snorted. At present, the [Immortal Gate], the one who fears him the most is the unpredictable King Yan. What needs to be cautious and serious belongs to the six true traditions. For the rest, except for the latest [immortal beast] dependence, there is really no need to worry.
Yuan Shu smiled and shouted to the audience: "Senior Brother Wu'an, please hand over that food box!" ”
Wu Anguo did as he wished, handing over the large wooden box he had prepared earlier.
"Look, what is this?" Yuan Shu picked up the bamboo chopstick, picked up a red fish, and handed it to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao moved away and glanced at the red fish with some resistance. Countless [Strangers] in the audience, including Liu Hong, the son of heaven on another high platform, also had such expressions.
In recent days, especially today's morning meal, they have eaten a lot of red fish!
Yuan Shu ignored everyone's expressions, fished out the boiled red fish, and directly tore it in half. The soup minced the meat and wiped his hands. Yuan Shao saw it, and his stomach immediately churned.
And as the unique aroma of fish meat spread, Yuan Dameng felt more and more that the few pieces of fish meat that Chao Shi had barely stuffed were pressing against his throat. And in the audience, there was already a sound of gagging.
Damn Yuan Highway, and then took a bite of the fish. The forehead of the leader of the Yuan Alliance was covered with a layer of fine sweat. He forcibly resisted the disgust, and was about to turn his head to care.
"Gross!!"
Yuan Shu vomited and vomited, minced fish, wrapped in saliva, and spread a layer on the ground!
The vomiting was surging, Yuan Shao still endured his nausea, but the tens of thousands of [Abnormal Abilities] in the audience could no longer hold on. With a loud "vomit" sound, the entire [Dabi] venue was full of vomit.
A stream of peculiar smell spread, and those who had barely endured it, such as the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials, butchers and common people, could no longer suppress the surging of the sea in their abdomen, and leaned over and vomited.
And Yuan Benchu, the lord of the [Immortal League], after his brother Yuan Shu spilled a mouthful of fish soup, the fish meat also spurted out. Until the sour water and bitter water are spit out, the body is soft and spread, spread on the stage.
On April 15th, the first day of [Ability Dabi], ended in vomit in one place.
Yuan Shu, a disciple of [Xianmen], was expelled from Luoyang City by the public. The [Dabi] site was moved from the west of Luoyang City to the western suburbs. (To be continued......)
