Chapter 7 Fooling Yang Guang
Luoyang Imperial Palace, after the palace wall of several miles in length and width, is a row of pavilions and pavilions, countless strange flowers and plants compete for fragrance and beauty, flowing and winding water, and the environment is quiet.
In the square in front of the palace, piles of bonfires were burning, among which were fine sandalwood, which illuminated the palace at night as if it were day, and the fragrance was overflowing.
On the dragon platform in the palace, which is twenty zhang wide, is full of beautiful concubines and concubines, not to mention fifty or sixty people, and the stars are gathered around a dragon chair like a moon.
Under the light of the bonfire, there was a man who seemed to be only about fifty years old and had a towering arm, this man was busy eating the fruit in the hands of the concubine, and from time to time he teased a few words with the concubine around him, taking advantage of it, although he was wearing a bright nine-dragon robe and a high crown on his head, this man's face was very ugly, pale like a dead man, it was Yang Guang, the last emperor of the Great Sui.
is still spending time drinking, indulging in pleasure, Yang Guang has no idea that his country is declining step by step.
But today is having fun, that Yang Guang for some reason, he sighed softly, hugged a concubine and said, "Although it is pleasant here, I don't know how many days I can enjoy it?" ”
The concubine was stunned, and she didn't know what evil Yang Guang had fallen into today, but she still flattered her: "Your Majesty is in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, when you can live a hundred years and live forever, why can't you enjoy it?" ”
Yang Guang didn't know if it was rare to have a clear head, but after listening to the words of the concubine, he shook his head and said melancholy: "What Emperor Qin and Han Wu have not done, can I succeed?" ”
However, at this moment, a breeze struck. The bonfire in the palace suddenly swelled, jumping several feet high, and the originally bright hall was a little dazzling at this time. Someone in the air said loudly: "Your Majesty wants to live forever, why is it difficult?" ”
Everyone in the palace was shocked, raised their eyes, and was stunned.
I saw that under the full moon, someone stepped on the void.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with a long sword on his back, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face like a crown of jade. Dressed in white, swaying in the breeze, he walked towards the dragon platform step by step, and his every move was indescribably free and natural.
With the last step on the ground. The young man said loudly: "Overseas Penglai Qi practitioners are unheard of, I have seen His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor!" ”
At this time, everyone came back to their senses from that amazing scene, and Yang Guang suddenly stood up from the dragon chair and pushed away the concubines beside him. Trembling, he said, "You—Who are you?" ”
He had a hunch. It seems that what I have prayed for will come to fruition today.
Mo Wen smiled and repeated again.
"Overseas Immortal Island, Penglai Qi Practitioner - Mo Wen!"
Yang Guang was stunned, his eyes were filled with surprise, and he muttered to himself: "There is really a way to become an immortal, there is really a way to become an immortal."
For a long time, how could Yang Guang, a greedy and lascivious and indulgent gentleman, give up the pursuit of immortality. The more powerful you are, the more you indulge in enjoyment. The more he feared death. He didn't know how many so-called real people he had seen, and he had swallowed a lot of various elixirs, but unfortunately there was almost no effect except for the deterioration of his body, and over time, he himself had to give up. But today is different, he never thought that someone could fly into the sky, this is the real immortal means, this is the person who cultivates immortals, the pursuit that has been given up appears in his mind again, and it is even hotter than before.
I saw Yang Guang take a deep breath, and he was unexpectedly nervous.
"I don't know where the immortals came from, if there is anything I need to do, I will do my best! I only ask the immortals to give me the immortal method! ”
Looking at Yang Guang's appearance, Mo Wen smiled in his heart, his magic was not in vain, it was a suggestion technique, and a levitation technique, even if the rules of the Datang world were relatively loose, it would have wasted his effort, but it seemed that the harvest was good.
Immediately, he smiled indifferently, "Your Majesty is falsely praised, and you are just a qi practitioner in the next, just like Your Majesty, rolling in this red dust, and you are still far from becoming an immortal!" ”
Listening to Mo Wen's words, Yang Guang became more and more respectful, which of those great immortals in the past was not boastful, but there was not even a person with real skills, looking at Mo Wen's indifferent conversation and humble rhetoric, he thought that Mo Wen was a real immortal cultivator, and this kind of modesty was the temperament that immortal cultivators should have.
Seeing that Yang Guang was about to say something, Mo Wen said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, since you came to see Your Majesty today, naturally you and I are destined, and you will naturally be satisfied with Your Majesty, but this matter is a long story, let's sit down and talk slowly!" ”
"Yes, yes!" When Yang Guang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly shouted to the left and right: "Come on, don't go to the banquet yet, I want the best dishes to entertain the immortal master, don't go quickly!" ”
Only then did the people on the left and right recover from the shock just now, and hurriedly went to prepare for the banquet.
After a while, a good banquet was served, and the guests and hosts were seated.
Yang Guang was still sitting on the dragon chair, like a monkey, fidgeting, looking at Mo Wen from time to time.
And Mo Wen sat under the stage, slowly tasting the wine and food, with an indescribable sense of ease, really like a person in the fairy dust.
If someone can calmly look at Mo Wen, they will find that the noble aura on his body is even stronger than Yang Guang, if not everyone was suppressed by Mo Wen's immortal identity, they would think that compared to Yang Guang, Mo Wen is more like a real emperor at this time.
Leisurely eating wine and food, looking at Yang Guang's increasingly anxious appearance, Mo Wen secretly said that the heat was almost over, and then he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, do you know what a qi practitioner is?" ”
Yang Guang saw that Mo Wen said solemnly, and immediately sat upright, his face pale.
"I don't know, please advise the first teacher!"
Mo Wen said with a hint of fascination in his eyes: "The so-called qi practitioner is a person who pursues the way of heaven, and whoever wants is an immortal, and he will always enjoy leisure, all of them have different secular skills, they are all easy to come by, when they are great supernatural powers, they are also one of them." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Guang also yearned for it, thinking of the scenery of the Qi practitioner's indulgence in the landscape and the leisurely world, he showed a little envy, if he didn't care about his identity, he would have to kowtow to seek a teacher right now.
But unexpectedly, at this time, Mo Wen was voice changed, "Although the qi practitioner has magical powers, but it is still far away from the immortal immortal road, and those who are deeply blessed can fly up, but this kind of person is also very rare among the qi practitioners, and more are the shallow people of the blessed fate, although they can be free for hundreds of years, but after all, they will inevitably turn into a handful of loess, which shows that the way of heaven is hard, and it is difficult for my generation to become a Tao." ”
"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, although there is a teacher in Penglai, but the family teacher asserts that if there is no chance in the next, it will be difficult to become an immortal in this life, and it will eventually be loess, but the people in my generation are against the sky, even if there is a chance, they are not willing to give up, so they came to this red dust to go this way."
Listening to Mo Wen talk about the difficulty of becoming an immortal, Yang Guang frowned, worried, but listening to Mo Wen's words of going against the sky and taking his life, and then thinking about his own situation, there was a little resonance, and the gaze that looked at Mo Wen was a little close.
Then I saw Mo Wen take out a book from his arms.
"In Xia Bucai, I have a copy of the longevity recipe written by the sages of Guangchengzi in my hand, and I hope to use this thing to receive a good fate with His Majesty, in exchange for the opportunity to become enlightened!"
Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "This is the Taoist treasure book written by Guangchengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times?" ”
Obviously, he had also heard of the name of the elixir of longevity.
Mo Wen smiled, and with the book in his hand, the longevity recipe slowly flew towards Yang Guang.
"This book is written by Guang Chengzi, the material is special, water and fire do not invade, your majesty will know it when you try it."
Then I didn't know what to think of, Mo Wen sighed again, "It's a pity that the fortune is shallow, this book is 7,632 words, and I can only know 5,307 of them, otherwise I can become enlightened with this book!" ”
seemed to think of something depressing, Mo Wen drank it all, but his expression was a little bitter.
Yang Guang received the book over there, only to feel that the place in the hand was not gold or jade, the material was special, and he had already believed it for seven or eight points, and at this time, looking at Mo Wen's emotional appearance, he was even more convinced, and regarded this book as a treasure, clutched it tightly in his hand, and refused to let go, but fortunately, he still remembered Mo Wen's conditions, and asked softly: "I don't know what the immortal master wants, if I can do it, I must obey it!" ”
Mo Wen smiled, "This matter is very difficult for people in my generation, but it is extremely simple for His Majesty, and I hope that His Majesty can reward a rich land for missionary purposes, so as to accumulate merit." ”
Yang Guang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, patted his chest and said: "This is simple, even if the immortal master wants this Luoyang land, it can also be given to the immortal master." ”
Mo Wen smiled, "This is not necessary, Luoyang is where the imperial palace is located, and the dragon qi gathers, but it is not easy to practice under it, just in an ordinary densely populated place." ”
Yang Guang pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively: "What does the immortal master think of Yangzhou, the population is rich, it is suitable for preaching, and there is also a palace built by me, which can be used as a resting place for immortal masters, a place for Taoist temples." ”
Mo Wen was overjoyed, and saluted Yang Guang, "Then thank you for the reward, if you can become enlightened in the future, thank you for your majesty's grace today!" ”
Yang Guang just breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't know what to think of, and asked in a low voice: "Since this longevity recipe is so profound, I don't know if the immortal master can tell me what he knows about the five thousand three hundred and seven words, and he is also a little curious about the means that the immortal master has just used, I don't know if I can teach one or two?" ”
Mo Wen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "There is nothing to do, so let's stay in Luoyang for a month or two, and everything you learn in the next can be taught to your majesty!" ”
"In this way, I will thank the immortal master below!" Yang Guang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he and Mo Wen looked at each other with a smile-
That night, two shocking pieces of news came from the palace.
First, there are immortals who are now in the Luoyang Palace, giving Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty a treasure book of longevity.
The second is that Yang Guang canonized the immortal master Mo Wen as the national teacher, and gave the whole Yangzhou to Mo Wen to preach.
For a while, rumors arose, there were believers, and there were unbelievers, but it was related to the belonging of Yangzhou, one of the richest places in the world. (To be continued......)
