Klook knew that the order of the years was shifting, and suddenly the spring arrived at the small peach branch. The ends of the earth are sad, remembering the heyday of the year.

Flowers make shadows, and the moon shines. The water spirit palace is flying in five clouds. It was clear that he had a dream of Huaxu, and looked back at the east wind full of tears.

- Song Zhao Ding, "Partridge Tian Jiankang Shangyuan Works"

Liuyunzi was looking intently at his alchemy furnace.

Liuyunzi is a Taoist priest in the mountain, and although the Taoist temple is very remote, he is also obsessed with alchemy and seeking immortals.

Liuyunzi wants to become an immortal. As long as you become an immortal, you can get rid of the world, get rid of all the suffering and filth of the world......

He gazed eagerly at the fire—as long as the flame in front of him became pure, this furnace of elixir could be refined.

The blue flames were mixed with a few stars of yellow light.

"Ah, not only is it not green, but it is also not pure. Just as he was pondering, a small voice suddenly sounded from the side.

He looked away in horror, and the child who appeared at some point was smiling and staring at the fire.

"You are ......" wanted to scold, but Liuyunzi was attracted by the child's deep and sharp eyes, and he felt that the child was not extraordinary.

The child turned his cute face to him and smiled slyly: "Baili hazy light, call me hazy light." ”

"You...... Where's the clan?" Liu Yunzi was suppressed by the child's calm and old demeanor, and he asked curtly.

Hazy Light chuckled silently. He just looked at the medicine under Liuyunzi's surprised gaze, and the smoke rose from the furnace and drifted in the air.

"What is the function of this elixir?" he asked Liuyunzi casually in an old-fashioned tone.

“...... It can prolong life. ”

Hao Guang immediately sneered: "It's useless, this pill is very beneficial to reducing longevity." ”

"How dare the yellow-mouthed child-"

"Look at it—" Hazy Light sneered, raised his little hand, and a purple-red flame burst out in the air, like a blooming flower!

"'Wind Medium Flower'," said lazily, Hazy Light was very proud of Liuyunzi's shock, "If I use this technique to please the emperor, it will be okay to become a famous haiyu, right?"

The purple-red sparks shrank suddenly, splitting into several golden, blue, and peach-colored giant flowers, gorgeous and shocking! Hazy Light, who was surrounded by various sparks, looked proud: "Huangkou Xiaoer will not play this kind of trick. ”

"Fairy Child, what a offense!" Liuyunzi hurriedly bowed down, he already believed that this child was a messenger sent by the fairy world to guide the maze, "I beg the fairy child to give a good prescription......

"Fairy?" smiled contemptuously, and with a flick of his sleeves, the fire was extinguished, "There is no way." It is said that the people of the world are ignorant, immortality, and immortality are illusory, and instead of seeking this smoke-like thing, why not take care of political affairs and enjoy the prosperous world? ”

However, he looked critically at Liuyunzi who was kneeling on the ground, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Even so, I can teach you alchemy." Will you help me refine the medicine?"

——·——

Since then, the Haoguang Society has come to Liuyunzi two or three times a year to carefully guide Liuyunzi in refining medicine.

Liuyunzi has been thinking, what the hell is Haoguang going to do? Obviously, he disdains the way of alchemy and cultivating immortals, but he has been teaching him to refine some strange pills......

Every time he came to guide, Haoguang would tell Liu Yunzi about the erosion of Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Chang'an, the national capital, and the dark corruption of the rule of officials...... To say that it was to persuade Liuyunzi to actively enter the world, this was only counterproductive to Liuyunzi, who longed for the fairy world, but judging from the appreciative smile on his face when Haoguang spoke, he didn't seem to be spitting on the world.

"Liuyunzi, do you see anything in this smoke?" asked Haoguang, sitting with his cheeks leaning on a bored face.

"Back to Xiantong, I see the ...... contained in the country of Huaxu"

Haoguang sighed: "Alas, what nonsense, obviously there is nothing! Liuyunzi, I have taught you alchemy for more than ten years?"

"Yes, Fairchild. Liuyunzi bowed his head in confusion.

"Then what do you think is the purpose of refining the elixir of immortality?"

"In order to ascend to immortality, get rid of the troubles of the world. ”

Hazy Light smiled mockingly: "Ah, for the sake of getting rid of this filthy world...... The prosperity has a false appearance, the suffering is endless, the rulers are ignorant and mediocre, and the government is chaotic, so the only way to ascend to the immortals and escape the suffering in the country of Huaxu is ......"

The alchemy furnace exploded violently, and the yellow-green smoke gushed out, choking people's throats!

The "fairy child...... hurriedly retreated, and Liuyunzi covered his nose in pain.

Looking down at him who fell to the ground in shock, his hazy smile showed cruelty: "For more than ten years, you have refined a lot of secret medicines for me. This secret medicine cannot live forever, but it can kill. I will not come again, I will go to the land of power strife to achieve hegemony......"

"You are ......" Liuyunzi felt an unbearable sore throat and could barely breathe.

"It's not going to die, don't worry. Hao Guang took the pill and gave him a sneer, "I'm different from your generation of fools, I don't want to become an immortal, I want my own Huaxu country, and I can build it with my own strength." The more chaotic the world becomes, the more handy I am as an evil......"

The demonic aura appeared, and pure cyan flames ignited in Hazy Light's hands. The so-called green flame that marked the fire of the elixir was ignited and burned down the ancestral courtyard!

"I only know how to make alchemy and seek immortals, but I don't care about the world, I don't have the right world, and in the end there is only the way to perish. Laughing wantonly, the teeth of the hazy light shone and devoured the cold light!

The green flame spread, expanding the illusory smoke and dust, engulfing the mountains and forests! The country of Huaxu that was sought by alchemy was ultimately just a cloud of smoke.

The demon looked down at him in the blue flames and the sky-swallowing smoke: "A person like you who only knows how to seek immortals will not change the present world in the slight......est, right?"

This year is the first year of Tang Qianfu (874 AD), a year later Wang Xianzhi uprising broke out, in this uprising in response to the Huangchao will continue, fighting the late Tang Dynasty in the civil uprising in the longest, the widest, the most far-reaching war. The Huangchao Rebellion spread to half of the Tang Dynasty, leading to a great decline in national strength at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Liuyunzi should have realized that the appearance of the hazy light was in line with the dark politics and chaotic situation, the so-called "ghosts walk by day, and lizards devour at night", they are the products of the dark society. In such a society, people are destined to dream only in the smoke.

Hundred miles of hazy light chapter, smoke in Huaxu, end.

——·——Solution

Huaxu country: (Yellow Emperor) sleeps day and night, and sleepwalks in the country of Huaxu. The country of Huaxu is in the west of Yizhou, the north of Taizhou, and tens of millions of miles away from the country of Qi. Gai is not within the reach of the boats and cars, and it is just a fugue. There is no handsome commander in his country, so it is just natural. Its people have no appetite, it's just natural. I don't know how to live happily, I don't know how to die evil, so I don't die. I don't know my relatives, I don't know what to do, so I don't have anything to cherish. I don't know how to rebel, I don't know how to go wrong, so I have no stakes. They have nothing to cherish, and they have nothing to fear. No drowning in the water, no heat in the fire, no pain in the tart, no pain in fingering. Take the air into the real, sleep empty like a forest. The clouds and mist do not hinder their vision, the thunder does not disturb their hearing, the beauty and evil do not slip their hearts, the valley does not stumble, and the gods are just walking. - "Liezi Yellow Emperor"

——·——Time background

The Tang Empire was once "prosperous" during the period of Xuanzong Dazhong (847~859), and after that, the national power was declining. Tang Wuzong and Tang Xizong are good at longevity, indulge in Jindan Fangshu, superstitious gods and ghosts, worship Taoism and destroy Buddha. After the Huangchao Uprising, the imperial family took refuge in Shu, but still reopened the dojo and supported Taoism, resulting in a religious atmosphere in Shu before and after.
