(It's not easy to code words, kneel to beg for a subscription, kneel to beg for recommendation tickets and monthly passes, thank you!) ）

Uncle Duan and the others are not easy either.

After all, who would want to take such a huge risk to catch those poisonous snakes if it weren't for the compulsion of life.

Because it is the period of the late Tang Dynasty, it is a time of turmoil.

Extravagant donations are particularly heavy.

Catching poisonous snakes can be used to offset the income of shui, which is a relief for many poor people like Uncle Duan, otherwise there would be no movie in which the birth of the snake catching village was born.

For Li Xiao's treatment, Uncle Duan and his daughter were full of gratitude, sent a lot of home-grown food and specialties, and before parting, they also deliberately burned incense and prayed in the Taoist temple, which can be regarded as repaying Li Xiao's kindness and doing some modest efforts.

……

Changan.

As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City is prosperous, full of traffic, the city is full of jewels, and the households are full of Luoqi.

As the saying goes, outside the floating clouds in the Sichuan Plain, the palace is uneven, and it can be said that it is the prosperous scene of Chang'an.

If you want to ask where is the most solemn place in Chang'an City, it must be Daming Palace.

Resplendent with cornices and corners.

In the palace, all the civil and military officials are listed, and the atmosphere is calm.

Taiyin Zhenjun was dressed in a brand-new robe, holding the dust in his hand, Feng Xuan resisted the wind, and looked quite a bit like a fairy wind and bones.

On the throne of the gold lacquer carved dragon, there is a majestic man in a yellow robe sitting upright, this person is none other than Tang Xuanzong, the son of heaven in the current Tang Dynasty.

Between the gestures, they all exude an imperial aura that looks down on the world.

In the early dynasties, as in the dynasty, hundreds of civil and military officials wrote and played on the court, and discussed and dealt with Zheng affairs together, and then the emperor decided.

After many ministers finished playing, and the emperor also issued a series of official decrees, Tang Xuanzong did not immediately end the early dynasty, his eyes turned to the national teacher who was in the Wenchen column, and asked in a deep voice: "National teacher, how is the elixir of immortality that I asked you to refine?" ”

The emperors of ancient times can be said to be standing at the pinnacle of quan power.

After gaining an inexhaustible supply of money, status, and power, what they most desire is to be able to continue this glory indefinitely.

Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties have pursued immortality, even Tang Xuanzong is no exception, or because he saw the previous emperors disappear one after another, the idea of longing for the way of immortality in his heart is more urgent and eager than ever.

And he pinned his expectation of immortal immortality on Taiyin Zhenjun.

Above the temple.

Facing Tang Xuanzong's scorching gaze, Taiyin Zhenjun took a step forward, bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, Wechen has been trying to refine the elixir of life, but this elixir of life is the creation of heaven and earth, condensing the essence of all things, and it is not easy. ”

It seems that he did not get an ideal answer, Tang Xuanzong's palm and ten fingers placed on the armrest of the dragon chair were slightly raised, his brows were also furrowed, and he said with a displeased face: "Aiqing, it was precisely because I heard about your profound cultivation and Taoism that I invited you into the palace and gave you the title of true monarch, don't let me down." ”

After listening to Tang Xuanzong's words, Taiyin Zhenjun's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "The Holy Lord's entrustment, Wei Chen will never dare to slack off, although it is difficult to refine the elixir of immortality, but Wei Chen has recently thought of a new way, maybe it can help the Holy Lord become an immortal and gain the Tao, and live forever." ”

As Taiyin Zhenjun's words fell, Tang Xuanzong's eyes lit up, and he stood up from the dragon chair, and said excitedly: "What way?" ”

"After Weichen's continuous cultivation, I realized that the snakes in this world contain the blood of the ancient dragons, although after the vicissitudes of life, the times have changed, and they have become more and more rare."

"But if you can catch all these snakes together, and then refine the essence in them, and fuse them into one, you can refine the legendary elixir!"

Taiyin Zhenjun said unhurriedly.

Regarding the words that Taiyin Zhenjun said, Tang Xuanzong was puzzled and waved his hand: "No matter what method you use, in short, within a year, you must complete the refining of the elixir of longevity, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Obey the order, Weichen will definitely speed up the progress and send people to the people to collect more poisonous snakes, and use this as a guide to refine the elixir of life."

A different color flashed in his eyes, and Taiyin Zhenjun agreed without hesitation, swearing.

Accompanied by a conversation above the court.

Many civil and military ministers in front of the palace fell into a deep groan.

Isn't that fooling around?

As civil and military ministers who are familiar with sages and brave and good at fighting, they all belong to the elite level, and many of them are scornful and full of disdain for such an ethereal thing as Dao Fa Changsheng.

As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

As the person concerned, Tang Xuanzong was obsessed with seeking immortals and couldn't extricate himself, but many ministers of civil and military affairs were able to have a clear understanding, but this Taiyin True Monarch bewitched the public and bewitched the saints.

The emperor, who had no intention of dealing with the dynasty, became more and more superstitious, the government was corrupted, and the side affairs were lax, which made the late Tang Dynasty in a precarious situation.

In the long run, the situation will become very worrying.

But now the emperor is bewitched by the demon way, and he can't listen to anything, those ministers, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, but they all fell into silence for a while.

And just when everyone was silent, among the courtiers came out a brave and upright general, Wang Yanping.

Stepping into the front of the hall, Wang Yanping took a deep breath and said directly: "Emperor Qiyu, Weichen thinks that this matter is inappropriate, at the time of turmoil, there are many people from other places, don't listen to the fallacy, work the people and hurt the money, and ask the Holy Master to learn from it." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes seemed to be attracted by magnets, and they all converged on Wang Yanping's body, and their eyes were mixed with a lot of emotions, such as surprise, joy, worry, schadenfreude, and admiration.

You must know that at this time, Taiyin Zhenjun is profound, and his spells are superb, and he was even named a national teacher, although he is facing the crisis of falling out of favor.

But as the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, with the cultivation of Taiyin Zhenjun, he may only need to twist his fingers to crush Wang Yanping.

It takes a lot of courage to give such a direct admonition, which makes many people pinch a cold sweat for him.

After hearing his words, Taiyin Zhenjun narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Wang Yanping coldly, the color of the yin owl in his eyes flashed, and the temperature around him first dropped suddenly, and then climbed back, making people feel as if they had experienced the scorching heat and cold winter in an instant.
