Chapter 15: The Elixir
Suzhou Faceless Society ended quietly, everything was under Li Yan's control, he achieved all his goals, all the people became dolls in his hands, when the sky of Feng'an was fluttering into the first snow of the second year, Yang Hao and Xiaoyu were still thousands of miles away in Junzhou,
Liu Xuanjing is the host of Junzhou Chaotian Palace, the Taoism is profound, the world is known as the "living immortal", Li Yan admires Liu Xuanjing, every time he passes by Junzhou, he must come to the door to seek advice, Chaotian Palace covers an area of hundreds of acres, the pavilions and pavilions are luxurious and magnificent, it is rumored that Li Yan donated money to build, originally Li Yan liked to take Wang Fu'er everywhere, even if they went to Yijianglou this kind of fireworks they are inseparable, but when they went to Chaotian Palace, Li Yan left her, and he drove Jane from piety,
Chaotian Palace lives alone on a hill in the north of the city, there is a stone tablet under the mountain, engraved with two strong characters of "unraveling the sword", the guards do not care, they are about to break in, but they are blocked by a small Taoist priest, the little Taoist priest pointed to the stone tablet and said: "Look at your posture one by one, are you illiterate." ”
The guards were furious, and pushed down the little Taoist priest with five fingers, and the Taoist priests panicked for a while, and surrounded them with knives and sticks, Li Yan smiled and said: "Please tell the immortal chief, the dark clouds come to worship the mountain." "Wuyunzi is the name of Li Yan's cultivation when he was cultivating, and some of the Taoist priests also know this name, so they were terrified, and rushed to report it, and Liu Xuanjing's two apprentices, Lu Feiyun and Mu Luohai, rushed over, and the two called Li Yan as the senior brother, and said: "The master has calculated that the senior brother is coming, and is stepping up the cultivation of a furnace of elixir to congratulate the senior brother on his birthday." ”
When Li Yan heard the word "elixir", his eyebrows immediately danced, and he took the hands of the two and said impatiently: "Take me to see the immortal chief." ”
Yang Hao was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Li Yan to be so good at this kind of thing, how many people in ancient and modern times are superstitious about this kind of thing, and how many people have died for it, he was about to say something to dissuade Li Yan, and then thought about it again: If there is no place in this elixir, why are so many people convinced of it, it is also a rare thing to think about, but I just happened to see it,
Yang Hao wanted to have a glimpse of the past, but he was stopped by a person who knew the audience, the place where the Taoist priest alchemy has always been regarded as a forbidden place, and outsiders are not allowed to see it.
After drinking tea twice in the living room, a thin Taoist priest with flowing hair and fairy wind bones accompanied Li Yan to walk briskly, seeing that the Taoist priest was in his fifties, but his face was ruddy like a teenager, and his steps were light and strong, forcing Li Yan to trot all the way to keep up, followed by Lu Feiyun and Mu Luohai, Lu Feiyun's palm was holding a purple gold gourd, Yang Hao secretly exclaimed: "This is the gourd containing the elixir, and inside is the elixir that can live forever." ”
When Yang Hao was hesitating, Li Yan suddenly beckoned to him and signaled him to go over, and Li Yan recommended Liu Xuanjing: "This is the son of the late Yang Gong, Marquis of Xining, and the current Yang Hao, the assassin of Fengzhou." Liu Xuanjing's eyes were bright when he heard this, looked around Yang Hao, and said: "It turns out that you are Yang Hao, you have grown so big, do you remember that Poor Dao hugged you when he was a child." ”
Liu Xuanjing grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth,
Yang Hao neither believes in Buddhism nor Taoism, but he also respects the masters and celebrities in the two religions, for example, he has always treated the Fuyuan elder of Xiangfu Temple outside Feng'an City, and he has always treated him as a teacher, but for some reason, he looks down on him from the bottom of his heart, and always feels that this person's words are exaggerated and his heart is a little wrong.
Li Yan said with a smile: "It turns out that you are still old friends, and it seems that there is one more person to divide this furnace elixir." ”
Liu Xuanjing laughed and said: "The Dan of Poor Dao Refining has never been given to people who are destined. ”
In Liu Xuanjing's quiet room, Mu Luohai spread out a pure silk quilt, Lu Yunfei opened the purple gold gourd cover, poured out more than a dozen blood-red pills, each the size of a soybean, a rich fragrance came to his face, Yang Hao took a deep breath, and felt comfortable, Yang Hao was surprised, but thought: This elixir is really some wonderful, no wonder so many people have been fascinated by it throughout the ages,
Lu Yunfei and Mu Luohai counted twice, a total of eighteen golden pills, Liu Xuanjing used a small wooden spoon to dig up nine and put them into the purple gold gourd, sealed the lid and handed it to Li Yan, and said respectfully: "Please ask Your Highness to transfer it to the Holy Son of Heaven." Li Yan held the purple gold gourd in his palm and admired it, and handed it to the attendant behind him.
Mu Luohai took out a purple gourd and filled it with five, Liu Xuanjing respectfully delivered it to Li Yan, and said, "This is the poor Dao filial piety to His Royal Highness." He took out another purple gourd and filled two golden pills and gave them to Yang Hao, saying: "In addition to paying tribute to the Son of Heaven, the poor Dao elixir is only given to those who are destined." ”
Yang Hao was a little flattered, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, but seeing that Lu Yunfei and Mu Luohai both showed displeasure on their faces, Yang Hao thought about it in his heart, and pushed the elixir back, and said earnestly: "Immortal Chang is beautiful Yang Hao understands it, Yang is a layman's ear, and he really doesn't dare to enjoy this immortal thing." Liu Xuanjing said: "When you say this, don't you look down on me Liu Xuanjing." The two of them were refusing to give in, Li Yan laughed, and said to Liu Xuanjing: "You don't know his thoughts, he has a three-room wife in his family, and they love each other like a baby, how can two golden pills be enough for four people to eat together." ”
Liu Xuanjing said generously when he heard this: "Then the poor road will be given away." He also pushed the remaining two gold pills in front of Yang Hao, Yang Hao was grateful and a little overwhelmed, in front of this old way, he still looked too immature,
Li Yan smiled and relieved Yang Hao, he opened his purple gourd, poured out two golden pills from it, packed them together with Liu Xuanjing's two golden pills, stuffed them into Yang Hao's hands, and said: "Immortal Chief's affectionate friendship, don't refuse." ”
Yang Hao was full of emotion, this golden pill is not a rare thing in his eyes, and even he suspected that it was poisonous and could not be taken but in the eyes of Li Yan and Liu Xuanjing, this is a panacea that can help people become immortals, such a valuable thing is given away, how can this friendship not move him, Yang Hao wants to be treated, but he thinks, this thing is not a good product after all, eating more will inevitably harm your health, let me share a danger for him,
After giving the elixir, Liu Xuanjing took out two jars of medicinal wine, and said mysteriously: "This is a hundred herbs concocted by Poor Dao with a collection of seventy-eight kinds of rare and exotic herbs, which have indescribable effects for self-cultivation. Li Yan was overjoyed, and couldn't help but want to open the seal and drink a cup, Liu Xuanjing protected the mud seal and persuaded: "This wine has a violent temperament, Your Highness has drunk it at the moment, I am afraid of delaying the trip on the road." ”
Li Yanwan smiled, but did not insist, Yang Hao felt very strange, stared at the wine jar twice, Liu Xuanjing pulled Yang Hao over and muttered in a low voice: "Brother Guanshi's complexion, although there are three ladies, but he can still deal with it, if you don't drink this medicinal wine, you are not stingy." Yang Hao couldn't understand what he meant for a while,
Xiaodao Tong put on the banquet, all of them were vegetarian and vegetarian wine, drank a few glasses of wine, Liu Xuanjing asked Lu Yunfei and Mu Luohai to say a burlesque to help the fun, the so-called burlesque is somewhat similar to the counterpart of later generations, saying some historical allusions, folk anecdotes, one is talking, one person is gagging, the language is humorous, the expression is rich, and people who can often laugh in a few words,
After three rounds of drinking, Liu Xuanjing personally performed on stage, proficient in blowing, playing, singing and dancing, what makes people amazing is that he can improvise new words with old songs, Liu Xuanjing is a Taoist, pays attention to casual nature, and is free to move freely, but it is not something that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who abide by Confucianism and etiquette can have.
When he came out of Chaotian Palace, it was almost dusk, and he unconsciously stayed in it for most of the day, and when he returned to the pavilion, Xiaoyu was sitting idle and yawning, Yang Hao asked: "Where did you go to play today, you came back so early." ”
Xiao Yu said lazily: "Sister Fu'er doesn't know what's wrong today, lazy, and I'm not interested in shopping, plus there is nothing interesting in Junzhou, so I'll come back, how about you go to Chaotian Palace with Your Highness, you can ask the old Taoist priest for the elixir." ”
Yang Hao took out the purple gourd and said, "I really guessed it, I really got a few elixirs." ”
Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, reaching out to grab the gourd, Yang Hao deliberately raised the gourd high, teasing her to jump behind her heels and shout, the two were playing, Zhang Lang came in with a jar of wine, and the wine was the herb fragrance given to Li Yan by Liu Xuanjing.
"The one who delivers the wine."
"Put down the wine and leave." Zhang Lang put down the wine jar and replied, "If you come to tell your subordinates, you should tell your lord that this wine should be drunk in the dead of night. ”
Yang Hao waved his hand and replied with a smile: "I know." But he was secretly laughing in his heart: "It's just an aphrodisiac medicinal wine, and it's covered by clouds and mountains, is it possible that I will be messy when I take a sip." Yang Hao opened the mud seal, sniffed, fragrant, sucked a sip of wine in his mouth with his fingers, the taste of wine was light, the fragrance of flowers was strong, Yang Hao beckoned Xiaoyu to come and drink, but there was no trace of Xiaoyu, looking for it, but saw her squatting behind the Jinping, her face was purple, the purple gourd was held in her hand, and there were only three golden pills left in the gourd,
Yang Hao gently patted her on the back and fed her a bowl of tea, and Xiaoyu relieved himself and shouted, "What a powerful medicine." He coughed twice, threw the purple gourd on the table and said, "It turns out that this elixir is so unpalatable." ”
Yang Hao asked curiously, "What does it taste like after eating it?" ”
Xiaoyu waved his hand and said: "It's hard to eat, it's spicy in the mouth, and it's hot in the stomach, and it's still useful at first, but it's sinful after a while, you listen to my advice, it's better not to eat this thing." ”
Yang Hao saw that her forehead was full of sweat, took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her, and complained: "Who made you greedy and steal food, how many emperors and generals have eaten this thing since ancient times, and none of them have seen immortality, it can be seen that the elixir is a deceptive thing." Yang Hao twisted the gourd and threw it aside.
Xiao Yu saw the wine jar on the table and asked, "This wine is so fragrant, what is it made of?" Without waiting for Yang Hao to answer, she scooped half of it with a tea bowl, took a sip and felt that it didn't taste good, so she said: "It smells so fragrant, and it tastes so light." "I gave the rest of the wine to Yang Hao, Yang Hao tasted a few sips, drank it, and the taste was really ordinary, so he covered the wine seal and moved it aside.
Because he drank too much in Chaotian Palace, Yang Hao had no intention of eating dinner again, so he lay down on the bed early, Xiaoyu sat in front of the dresser and was busy removing makeup.
Xiaoyu's makeup was only half off, and two thick hands passed through her armpits and held her twin peaks, Xiaoyu giggled and twisted his body and pushed Yang Hao away with his elbow, as before, Yang Hao didn't go, his hand swam into Xiaoyu's obscene pants again, and grabbed her fat buttocks fiercely, Xiaoyu screamed and jumped up, Yang Hao's shot was too heavy, and she was very uncomfortable to grab,
She was determined to teach Yang Hao a lesson, so that he knew that he was not easy to bully, but as soon as she turned around, she was hugged by Yang Hao's neck, Yang Hao kissed her the cheek, Yang Hao's rudeness angered Xiaoyu, she used all her strength to push Yang Hao away, and the tears of grievance swirled in her eyes, but when she and Yang Hao looked at each other, her heart suddenly melted, Yang Hao's eyes burned with desire and possession, this is the natural expression of the origin of man, simple and not ornamented,
Yang Hao picked up Xiaoyu and threw her on the bed rudely, Xiaoyu opened his mind to Yang Hao with a bit of novelty and excitement......
