Chapter 31: Memories
If you want to say who is the person who Yan hates the most in his life, it is definitely Li Xiruo, there is no one.
Dao Yan and Li Chunfeng are people of the same generation, and they are also old monsters who have lived for thousands of years, but unlike Li Xiruo, who uses pills to prolong his life, Dao Yan has always used the method of borrowing his life, and using the method of yin damage to fill other people's yang longevity on himself.
Li Chunfeng is the orthodox descendant of Taoism, and he is the kind of real Taoist truth, this kind of thing that uses evil magic to harm people, so how can he not care when he encounters it. So in an unexpected encounter, Li Chunfeng saw the harmful Dao Yan and immediately taught Dao Yan a lesson.
At that time, Dao Yan was just an ordinary Taoist who had practiced Taoism for decades, although he was unwilling to die early and borrowed his life with evil arts, but in the end he worshipped an orthodox master, not that kind of evil cultivation. After confessing to Li Chunfeng, Li Chunfeng returned the Yangshou borrowed by Dao Yan to the victim and spared Dao Yan's life.
Li Chunfeng was originally kind-hearted, thinking that now that Buddhism has been introduced to the Tang Dynasty, the superiors have become more and more convinced of this foreign sect. On the contrary, the Taoist lineage began to decline, could it be that if you meet a serious Taoist heir, since the other party has the heart to change, give the other party a chance. Don't talk about it, even my little apprentice has always wanted to live forever, right? It's understandable that you have a hot brain and do something wrong.
If it was something else, Li Chunfeng might really clean up the door mercilessly, but immortality is the obsession of his own precious apprentice. Li Chunfeng thought of his little apprentice, and his heart couldn't help but soften, and as soon as his heart softened, he let Dao Yan go.
But he didn't want to, he let Daoyan go, but left a disaster for his apprentice. Li Chunfeng felt that he had let Dao Yan go, and Dao Yan should be grateful to himself. But he didn't want Dao Yan not only to not have the slightest gratitude, but also hated Li Chunfeng because he had taught him a lesson.
What kind of person is Li Chunfeng, that is a genius who has only been born in Taoism for tens of thousands of years, that is, in the thousands of years after Li Chunfeng's death, there is no one who can compare with him. The push back picture written by him and his friend Yuan Tiangang has been passed down through the ages.
Such a person, with a few courages, he didn't dare to provoke again. But he put this account on the head of Li Chunfeng's only precious disciple, Li Xiruo. Dao Yan knew that Li Chunfeng was old and his longevity was approaching, and after Li Chunfeng died, he would clean up Li Xiruo and avenge this arrow.
Because he was bent on revenge, and he was also worried about continuing to borrow Yangshou after Li Chunfeng's death, he spent almost all his time and power on inquiring about Li Chunfeng and Li Xiruo. This attention surprised Dao Yan, because Dao Yan found that Li Chunfeng's little disciple, Li Xiruo, was actually researching the elixir of life, and almost all of his energy was spent on refining medicine.
This is a huge surprise for Dao Yan, Li Chunfeng is Taoist orthodoxy, among the people Dao Yan has seen, Li Chunfeng is the second, and no one dares to count first. If there is really someone in this world who can refine the elixir, it is only Li Chunfeng.
Li Chunfeng's skills have been passed on to his precious apprentice, and his precious apprentice may really be able to refine the elixir of life. At that time, he will fight hard, and he will also get the elixir of life, so that he will no longer have to do things that may be punished by God.
Since then, Dao Yan has paid more and more attention to Li Chunfeng's master and apprentice. After Li Chunfeng took the medicine refined by Li Xiruo, he did increase his lifespan, which made Dao Yan even more surprised. It's a pity that medicine can't go against the destiny of heaven after all, although Li Chunfeng lived a few more years, he finally went. Li Chunfeng's death not only hit Li Xiruo, but also hit Daoyan.
Dao Yan was very disappointed, even a little desperate, how surprised he was when he knew how surprised Li Xiruo was when he was researching the elixir, and how desperate he is now. was so desperate that he forgot to find Li Xiruo's trouble and find Li Xiruo for revenge.
But this despair didn't last long, because Dao Yan found that Li Xiruo got rid of the despair of Li Chunfeng's death, and began to study the elixir of life in anger, and even said that she would definitely find her master, which was heard by the boy who took care of the herbs around him.
Seeing Li Xiruo standing up, Dao Yan also regained hope. Yes, how old is Li Xiruo, she has only been researching the elixir for a few years, and it is already remarkable to be able to research a medicine that can prolong her life. If the elixir is really so easy to refine, a little girl can refine it in a few years. Aren't there people who live forever all over the world?
In order to get the elixir in Li Xiruo's hand, Dao Yan found a place to live near Li Xiruo's mansion and observed Li Xiruo every day. He knew Li Chunfeng's ability, and naturally he didn't dare to underestimate Li Xiruo, Li Chunfeng's personal disciple. Although Li Xiruo is still young, he believes that if he dares to hang around Li Xiruo, Li Xiruo will also see his own problems.
After all, Li Chunfeng's physiognomy is famous, and pushing the back picture is even more to push the thousand-year-old national fortune, what a means.
Li Xi wanted to devote herself to her alchemy career, but unfortunately the reality gave her a hard blow. Li Chunfeng almost killed Wu Zetian, who was only a talented person at the time, because he once predicted in front of Li Shimin that there would be a heroine Wu clan on behalf of Li Tang in the future. This made Wu Zetian hate and poison Li Chunfeng, and once he gained power, the first thing he did was to dig up Li Chunfeng and whip his corpse, so that he would not be at peace after his death.
How could Li Xiruo, who regarded his master as more important than his life, allow this kind of thing to happen. In order to keep the master's body and the peace of the master after his death, Li Xiruo had to temporarily put aside his alchemy career, and Wu Zetian, who was only the queen at the time, only asked the queen to let go of the grievances with the master Li Chunfeng.
Although Empress Wu is only a woman, her heart is really extraordinary. As long as she is a talented person, she can put aside grievances and accept talents. For Li Xiruo, the descendant disciple of Taishi Ling, Empress Wu expressed the greatest kindness.
Empress Wu's kindness to Li Xiruo was because she felt that Li Xiruo was indeed a usable talent. You must know that as Li Chunfeng's descendant disciple and inherited what Li Chunfeng has learned, Li Xiruo is not an exaggeration to say that he is talented. And Li Xiruo also has a Taoist Taoist technique, which helps Queen Wu a lot.
Second, Empress Wu wants to show an attitude, she wants to show the world. Li Chunfeng slandered her that the martial queen would take Li Tang Jiangshan and almost kill her, she could release her previous suspicions and reuse his disciples. What grudges do others have that cannot be resolved? As long as you are willing to submit to me, I will dare to use you again.
If Li Xi is not the kind of pedantic person who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, he will not have the loyalty of his master Li Chunfeng to Li Tang Jiangshan. In her opinion, whoever becomes emperor is the same. Therefore, she assisted Empress Wu very wholeheartedly, cleared a lot of obstacles for Empress Wu, and pointed out a lot of useful talents, which made Empress Wu a lot easier in the process of taking power, and truly became Queen Wu's confidant.
Empress Wu is an extremely smart woman, and of course, a person who can sit on the throne as a woman is naturally extremely smart. After getting along with Li Xiruo for a while, she figured out Li Xiruo's character. She knew that Li Xiruo had an indifferent personality, but she was also affectionate.
She will be very indifferent to people who have nothing to do with her, even if someone dies in front of her, she will not blink an eye. She had seen Empress Wu kill countless people in the harem, and her hands were full of blood, but she could not say a word coldly, and she could almost be said to be ruthless, on par with Empress Wu.
At the same time, Empress Wu found that Li Xiruo was very affectionate. For the master who saved her from the tiger's jaws and raised her, she almost saw her life as more important than her own life. Refining the elixir to save her master's life has almost become her obsession, the whole of her life. If someone dares to be disrespectful to Li Chunfeng, she can fight with others.
And after getting along with her for a long time, she found that Li Xiruo had included her in the category of her own people. If Li Xi can sit and watch the life and death of others, he will always care a little more about her, and he will care a little more about her. Let Empress Wu completely conclude that if Li Xi is not without a heart, it is just difficult and slow to enter her heart. But as soon as you walk in, she takes you very seriously.
And Li Xiruo's temperament happens to be Queen Wu's favorite character, she doesn't like people who have the kindness of women, even her own son has such a character, she doesn't like it, let alone her subordinates. Therefore, Li Xiruo's cold-hearted and affectionate temperament is simply too much for her appetite.
With such a person, you don't have to worry about her being soft-hearted and sympathetic to those enemies who have enmity with you, and you don't have to worry about her being ruthless and ruthless, and making ruthless betrayals to herself. Therefore, when someone paid tribute to Zhu Yanguo, which is said to have the effect of prolonging life, Queen Wu gave it to Li Xiruo without hesitation in order to envelop Li Xiruo.
In fact, Empress Wu didn't believe that this strange-looking fruit had the effect of prolonging life. It is said that this fruit should be tasted by someone before eating it for yourself, but because there is only one fruit, there is no way to try it. This kind of fruit with unknown efficacy, rather than wasting it, it is better to give it to Li Xiruo as a personal favor.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiruo accidentally got the strange fruit of Zhu Yanguo. In fact, Li Xiruo has only seen in the classics left by the master that Zhu Yanguo has the effect of rejuvenating the face and prolonging life, but whether it is true or false, no one has tested it, and no one dares to be sure. After all, even if it is a thousand years old, you may not be able to find one.
Li Xiruo is a bold person, thinking that if he doesn't enter the tiger's den, he will get the tiger. Without doing anything, he put Zhu Yanguo together with the life-prolonging medicine he had researched and refined it into an elixir, ready to take it.
It was at this time that Dao Yan, who had been paying attention to Li Xiruo, appeared. He believed that since Li Xi dared to take this elixir, it would prove that this elixir could really live forever.
