Chapter 257: Seven Tribulations
I took a closer look, and the back paragraph on the black cloth recorded the specific origin of the fairy bone golden seal.
This thing turned out to be from an old Taoist named Zhiyuan in the Tang Dynasty.
Since the Qin Dynasty, successive emperors have dreamed of immortality, so there is an alchemy pavilion in the court.
The successive cabinet directors were all famous archmages at that time, and this Supreme Yuan Dao Master was one of them.
About the Zhiyuan Daoist, it's a pity that there is not much information recorded above, and it is the first time I have heard of such a person.
However, there are two other names on it, which I am particularly familiar with - that is, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, who wrote "***"!
When it comes to "***", I believe it will be no stranger, this thing can be said to be a strange book, which is said to predict the major events in China thousands of years later.
At that time, "***" was also considered a palace secret and had been treasured in the inner courtyard of the palace.
It turned out that the chief of the Yuan Dao was still Li Chunfeng's master, and at that time, Emperor Taizong asked the two to calculate the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, and the chief of the Yuan Dao asked Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang to write on their behalf.
So after some calculations, the two fused the Book of Changes, astronomy, poetry, riddles, and pictures, and made a total of 60 elephants.
Emperor Taizong saw the great joy of the queen at that time, and after a reward, he said to Li Chunfeng that the Tang Dynasty has been in fortune for hundreds of years, but unfortunately I am old.
When Li Chunfeng heard this, he naturally understood what Emperor Taizong meant, and immediately said to Taizong, Your Majesty's dragon body is the mandate of heaven, and if you want to live forever, you can't do it.
Taizong wondered and asked Li Chunfeng, is there really anyone in the world who can live forever?
Everyone knows that Emperor Taizong is a generation of Ming monarchs, and he has always been skeptical about immortality.
Li Chunfeng told Emperor Taizong that immortality can indeed be done, but it is necessary to pay attention to chance and cultivation.
He told Emperor Taizong that his master, Zhiyuan Daochang, was well versed in this way.
Taizong was extremely happy when he heard this, and immediately asked Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang to invite Daoist Zhiyuan.
The two came to the residence of the Zhiyuan Daoist, and Yuan Tiangang directly explained the intention of coming, and asked the Zhiyuan Daoist if he could teach His Majesty?
Daoist Zhiyuan's answer was also very simple, and he refused on the spot.
He said that although Emperor Taizong was a generation of emperors, it was a pity that he could not escape reincarnation after all.
It's a time when everyone has the end of their yang life, so this thing can't be done at all.
Li Chunfeng was anxious when he heard this, and he said to the Zhiyuan Daoist, Master, the apprentice promised His Majesty that if he couldn't do it, he would suffer a big disaster.
Yuan Tiangang also nodded beside him and said, a companion is like a tiger, if you can't do this, even if you can't do it, you will be bullied, and if you don't get it, you really have to lose your head!
Daoist Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, and said to the two, then in this case, you can go back and make it clear to Your Majesty that you want to live forever, but you have to wait for the day when I drive Hexi to the west.
Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were a little puzzled after hearing this, but they didn't ask any more, so they went back and told Emperor Taizong truthfully.
When Taizong heard this, he frowned at first, and then laughed and said, Zhiyuan Dao Chang is really a god, so good......
In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, there was a vision in the sky over Kyoto, and the Taibai Star could be seen in broad daylight, at that time, the technology was backward, and the people in the city said that there was a demon, which was a vision.
After hearing this, Taizong also thought that this was a bad omen, and since this incident, a nursery rhyme has been spread among the people, "Emperor Chuan III, Li Xing of the Wu Dynasty".
The ancient emperor was most worried about his country falling into the hands of others, Emperor Taizong was a smart man, although he knew that the nursery rhyme was not credible, but he remembered the vision not long ago, he was also like sitting on pins and needles, let alone eating, and he didn't even want to drink water.
So he immediately ran to ask the Yuan Dao Changtian, what is this like?
Zhiyuan Dao Chang said that it was Taibai Xingdian to listen, so that Taizong should not be careful.
At the same time, he said to Taizong that Taibai Xing is now, and it is time for the poor road to go west.
If Your Majesty wants to live forever, you can take the seven bones that I turned into after my death and inlay them with gold strokes, and at the same time order someone to cast seven gold seals and place them around the Alchemy Pavilion.
Taizong nodded, and it didn't take long for the Yuan Dao Leader to die.
Later, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang took the seven bones on his body according to the meaning of the Taoist chief, and then asked people to cast a golden seal.
Yuan Tiangang saw the seven bones and the golden seal at that time and said, Dao Chang This is the technique of taking the 'Seven Tribulations', I'm afraid he still hasn't finished explaining.
Li Chunfeng also wondered after seeing it, and said that the 'Seven Tribulations' should have a correspond, since the bones are positive, then the golden seal should take the meaning of evil.
So as soon as the two of them combined, they made their own request to the 'bad handsome' to secretly collect seven kinds of evil arts among the people and carve them on the golden seal.
This is the predecessor of the fairy bone golden seal, as for the secret hidden in it, the Taoist chief did not explain it at the time, but it is clearly recorded on the black cloth.
The seven immortal bones are the key to open a secret door in the dragon cave of Changbai Mountain. And the premise of entering that door is that the person's physique is yin, not ghost or yang.
As for what was in the secret door, only one section was seen on the black cloth, and the back part had been gnawed off by the corpse demon.
It says that there are eight eight sixty-four elephants and four other elephants.
Seeing this, I don't understand, isn't there only 60 elephants in "***", how can there be four more elephants?
And the biggest headache for me is that the most important piece of information in the back was actually eaten by the damn corpse demon.
It seems that the secret of the fairy bone golden seal can only be known after entering the secret door, but fortunately, now I finally understand that the original seven fairy bones are the key.
As for the seven golden seals, it doesn't matter to me whether I want them or not.
As long as I get the seven immortal bones and open the secret door smoothly, then I am done!
Closing the black cloth, I calmed down, and the most important thing at the moment is probably to improve my strength.
Seven immortal bones, I only have one of them, it is conceivable that there is an open and secret battle behind it, and it will definitely not work without excellent strength.
Lu Xiaojun saw that I closed the black cloth, and walked over with a smile and asked, is it a matter of fairy bones and golden seals?
I nodded. thought to himself, he and Bai Yumei are both smart people, and if they don't tell the truth, they will definitely not work.
"Okay, Lu Yuan, I think we'll send you here, you should be careful all the way." Bai Yumei also came over at this time.
I was stunned, "Sister Bai, didn't you say that you wanted to accompany me to find Chen Zuo?" ”
"There's something temporary, I'm afraid I won't be able to go."
Lu Xiaojun waved his hand, "Lu Yuan, I see that your eyes are particularly weird, I'm afraid you have an adventure, but it's a pity that that person didn't open your eyes." ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but look at Lu Xiaojun in a daze, "Brother Lu, what's the matter with your eyes?" ”
"I ask you, are your eyes always bright?"
I nodded.
"Well, that's right, it's really because I didn't open my eyes."
