Chapter 2: A Vision of Heaven and Earth

A.D. 629

Datang, Chang'an City, Taiji Palace.

In the center of this splendid and majestic hall sits an old man with a beer belly, open clothes, a chicken in his left hand and a jar of wine in his right hand, and a wine beard in his right hand full of meat residue and wine stains, and there are many disheveled women lying next to him, he is the founding king of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan.

Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, ascended the throne as emperor in 618 A.D., established the Tang Dynasty, he was born in a noble family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was crowned the Duke of Tang at the age of seven. During the Kaihuang period, he successively served as the assassin of the three states of Qiao, Long, and Qi, and after Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, Li Yuan successively served as the Taishou of Xingyang (now Zhengzhou, Henan) and Loufu (now Jingle, Shanxi). Later, he was called to be the young eunuch in the palace, and was promoted to the guard captain Shaoqing. In the eleventh year of the Great Cause (615), Li Yuan worshiped the ambassador of Hedong in Shanxi; In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause (617), he stayed in Taiyuan again. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, Li Yuan took advantage of the situation to raise troops from Taiyuan and capture Chang'an. In the fifth lunar month of the second year of Yining (618), Li Yuan accepted the Chan concession of Emperor Gong of Sui and called him emperor, established the Tang Dynasty, fixed the capital of Chang'an, and gradually eliminated the separatist forces in various places and unified the whole country.

In 626 AD, that is, in the ninth year of Tang Wude, Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin, the general of Tang Tiance, launched the Xuanwumen Mutiny, killed the eldest brother and younger brother, forced Li Yuan to abdicate as the emperor, named Li Shimin as the crown prince, and then ascended the throne as the emperor. Later, in order to compensate Li Yuan, Li Shimin was raised as a pig by this second son, and he gave him whatever he wanted, brocade clothes and jade food, and his voice and horses, so that he indulged in wine, put it on the shelf, and easily did not step into the Taiji Palace for half a step.

"Alas. Li Shimin, Li Shimin, I heard that Lao Tzu is building a palace, called Daming Palace, you want to make me far away from seeing it, I made something to give birth to you such a thing, kill my brother and kill my brother, and throw Lao Tzu into this wine every day to waste time, I think I hope I die early, no one will disagree with you in the future, pity me for being old, four sons are dead, there is such an unfilial son left, the palms and backs of the hands are meat, all say that the royal family is ruthless, I knew it was so, I would rather give up this great river and mountain, What is the Ninety-Five, what is in the hands of the world, I would rather be a rich man in exchange for my child's eldest companion and be a rich man" Li Yuan muttered. Then his eyes were blurred, and the flask in his right hand fell to the ground.

This is the door of Taiji Palace was blown open by a gust of wind, and the wind blew into the hall faintly with the appearance of an old Taoist, and Li Yuan stopped in front of him and only heard that "Tang Guogong, the old man is here, there is something important to discuss."

Li Yuan heard someone calling him in a daze, and raised his eyes to see an old Taoist, Fengxian Dao bones, white hair tied into a bun, long eyebrows, but there was a pair of deep eyes on the old face, three long beards under the chin, wearing a gray and white Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, Li Yuan felt that the old Tao was a little familiar, and he tried to see it clearly, only to see the dust in the old Tao's hand, which made Li Yuan drunk and immediately went to eight points, and then looked at it and suddenly clenched his fists and shouted, "I don't know if the real person has arrived, atone for the sins, and I don't know what the real person is coming to see?" ”。 Li Yuan bowed to the old man and thought in his heart, Ziyang Lao Dao had long since stopped asking about the world and asked the immortals, in order to save the third child, he sent people to search all over the world and found no trace of him, how could he take the initiative to come to me. It's weird.

Ziyang watched Li Yuan's face change back and forth, and knew his thoughts, so he said, "Tang Guogong, Poor Dao is here to send an opportunity, I don't know if Tang Guogong still remembers what Lao Dao said,"

Hearing that Ziyang came to send the opportunity, Li Yuan's heart shook wildly and replied in a trembling voice, "The chance that the real person said, there really is, then the third child can not come back from the dead, but the real person is serious" After speaking, Li Yuan grabbed Ziyang Zhenren's hand fiercely, looked at him in disbelief, and muttered: Really, this must be true, the third child is saved, saved.

Ziyang said, "Seriously, the poor Dao will give you a solution, when the old Dao took action to save a wisp of the soul of the Yuanba that had not dissipated, attached to the 10,000-year-old Xuanbing to protect the soul of the Yuanba to seal the body, and because the Yuanba killing was too heavy, I didn't listen to my words should have this calamity, the Dao Fayan Avenue is fifty, Tianyan forty-nine, if you want to resurrect the Yuanba, you can only find that glimmer of life, I felt it last night and calculated that there will be a vision tonight when it is possible to intercept that line of life. Raise it from the dead. “

Li Yuan immediately bowed to Ziyang and said, "Li Yuan is grateful for the help of real people, if I can resurrect Yuanba, I, Li Yuan, should act in accordance with the laws of real people, and dare not forget it." ”

Ziyang Zhenren's figure flashed and avoided Li Yuanyi: "Your Majesty is serious, now that you are the emperor, the poor Dao dare not bear it, this should be my disciple's life should not be extinguished, God forgives, otherwise the poor Dao will be helpless." Your Majesty, without further ado, we will hurry up. ”

Li Yuan and Ziyang Zhenren rushed out of the Taiji Hall together, and rushed to a rockery in the garden behind the Taiji Palace, Li Yuan took out the dragon pattern jade pendant and put it into a gap, and suddenly there was a secret door in the shadow of the rockery, and two guards opened out, bowing to Li Yuan, "Meet the Emperor". Li Yuan replied, "Excuse me, open the secret room as soon as possible, dismiss everyone, and be on guard in the garden if there are idle people who break in, no matter who it is, there will be no mercy." When the guards heard Li Yuan's murderous will, they hurriedly returned: "Obey the order!" Immediately began to arrange, immediately provoked the chickens and dogs inside and outside the garden, countless palace maids and eunuchs were driven away, only to see several teams of guards quickly come to surround the entire garden, bows and arrows were wound, swords and guns were in hand, and a murderous atmosphere spread outside the face.

At this time, Li Yuan and Ziyang had already entered the secret room, looking at a human body with a scorched body and a face that could not be seen clearly on the ice for ten thousand years, Li Yuan burst into tears, this is his third son Li Yuanba, thinking that Ziyang Zhenren can bring him back from the dead, so that I, the old man who had just experienced their brothers' cannibalism and despair, was suddenly full of anticipation, and turned his head to look at Ziyang Zhenren, and the real person would realize that "Your Majesty will stand back for the time being, and look at the poor means." ”

Ziyang Zhenren robe hunted automatically without wind, the figure instantly puffed up his hands and quickly switched handprints, and there were words in his mouth, and in an instant, the Quartet Ling Qi flew out of the cuffs and placed it on top of the ice, only to see that a gossip Taiji diagram was generated above the Ling Flag, which rotated from slow to fast, Li Yuan didn't know that at this time, the Taiji Palace was in the sky, the sun was blocked by the moon, and the day turned into night, and the dark clouds on it were all over the sky, and there seemed to be thunder and lightning brewing between the clouds.

Suddenly, a big hole was split above the secret room and bombarded on the running Taiji diagram, and the Taiji diagram suddenly shone brightly, like daylight, Li Yuan howled and lay on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, and when the Ziyang real person's handprint was completed, the blood in the center of the mouth spit out, and roared, "He!" The upper Taiji diagram is running rapidly, and at this time, the lower body has changed, the scorched black body is full of cracks, the chest and abdomen bulge can see the heart beating strongly, every beating can cause the body to vibrate, slowly shaking open the original scorched black epidermis, the red flesh below is constantly swelling as if the skin, the original scorched black incomplete body has been about to complete the rebirth, the blood-red body limbs stretch, the chest ups and downs as if alive again, at this time Ziyang Zhenren drank "Evil barrier, don't wake up with me yet!" ”

At this time, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was dealing with government affairs in the Lizheng Palace, and suddenly the sky changed from day to night and said, "Come on, how can it happen, how is it dark," the guards at the door came in to report "Back to Your Majesty, the natural vision above the Taiji Palace where the Emperor Taishang is located, there is a natural vision of thunder and lightning gathering as if it will be split," Li Shimin said, "What, quickly, go to the Taiji Palace," Li Shimin hurried to the Taiji Palace after the former eunuch and the guards.

The Taijitu finally couldn't support it and collapsed instantly, the secret room fell into darkness again, and Li Yuanba, who was lying on the ice, opened his eyes at this time, and was confused: It's all true, it's really successfully resurrected, it's really mysterious, and I don't know what to do in the future, so I can only take one step at a time, "The third one, ah, the third one, it's alive, it's really alive, the old man, my son is back, woo~" It was Li Yuan who looked at the awakened Li Yuanba and cried with joy and ran over to touch Li Yuanba's body.

Li De was so cold that "old man, who are you, don't touch me, I don't do it," he opened Li Yuan with his hand and then sat up and looked at the secret room, there was an old Taoist priest on the side of the front wall, his face was gray, as if he was seriously ill and leaned against the wall to support, the Taoist priest raised his head and looked at Li Yuanba, Li De's brain hurt and then remembered that this was Li Yuanba's master Ziyang Zhenren, jumped off the cold ice bed and knelt down in front of Ziyang Zhenren: "Master, the criminals regret not listening to your teachings, and the master has exhausted his strength after three rescues, and I am too late." After speaking, he cried and kowtowed to the master.

Li De thought in his heart, if it weren't for his awesome master, Li Yuanba, who would have died a long time ago, then he could still wait for him, Li De would come to occupy the magpie's nest. At this time, Li Yuan asked, "Real person, what's wrong with Yuanba, why didn't you know the old man just now?" It's not stupid. ”

Ziyang said, "Yuanba is not Yuanba and Yuanba is Yuanba after all, but this is all fate, the sky is unpredictable, Yuanba can change his life against the sky is the luck of inviting the sky, can no longer be forced, Xu is sleeping for too long and the memory is incomplete, it will be good to recuperate for a few days." Here's the time, it's time to go to the poor road and the merits are complete, you don't need to remember to look for it, you have a chance to meet each other, and then you should change your ways, don't be good at killing thoughts, and benefit the world, remember to remember! “。 After speaking, Ziyang Zhenren turned into green smoke and disappeared in an instant.

Li Shimin rushed to the Taiji Hall to see that the secret room had been split by thunder and lightning, and hurriedly rushed up to drive away the surrounding guards, and when he entered the secret room, he found that his father was with a naked bloody man, and immediately shouted, "Oh, where is the demon, don't hurt my father!" “

Li Shimin originally fought in the world, as a Tiance general, he had his own martial arts, and then he took out the guard sword, rushed forward, and was about to cut at the bloody man, Li Yuan saw Li Shimin raise the knife to cut in advance, and his eyes were about to split, and he immediately got up and kicked over, and roared, "You are a rebel, you have already killed your eldest brother and the fourth, you still have to kill the third child, the old man will fight with you", and then he was going to rub his body and fight with Li Shimin.

How dare Li Shimin make a move with his father, hurriedly threw the knife aside, helped Li Yuan and said, "Father, it's not a box, that demon is really the third child, but how can it be like this?" ”

Li Yuan replied, "Idiot, just now Ziyang Zhenren used the immortal spell to save the third child, and the vitality is now gone, and the third child has not fully recovered after sleeping for a long time, and the blood is obtained after breaking the cocoon and being reborn, you still don't order someone to take the third child back to clean up and take a bath, and then call the imperial doctor to come and see, you dare to use the knife and the old man to chop you alive!" "Li Yuan is so angry, he finally came back with his own child, this bastard Li Shimin used a knife and a gun without asking questions, and then walked away with a "hum~",

Li De, who was still kneeling on the ground, heard this and sighed that it was Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate mutiny after traveling through time, Li Shimin immediately turned around and drank: "Come on, bring my third brother back to the Taiji Palace, arrange for the eunuchs and maids to serve, quickly convene the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, order the warriors in front of the palace to block the Taiji Palace, urgently summon the Xuanjia Army to close the palace gate, and Wuzhen Edict orders those who trespass on the palace gate to be killed!" “
