Chapter 62: The Power of the Imperial Court (Thanks to the Cat Great Immortal for the tip!) )
"Emperor, do you think it's good for me to make a guilty edict? Tell the people of the world about my past mistakes, and then tell them that in the future, I will revive the Great Sui River. ”
When Su Li and Shi Long arrived at the palace, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was sitting there thinking quietly, and when he saw Su Li coming, he spoke.
"Guilty of self-inflicted edict?!"
These three words fell on Shi Long's ears, which shocked his heart, he really couldn't believe that the conceited Sui Emperor Yang Guang would have such a day when he wanted to make an edict against himself.
Yang Guang: Who is he? His heart is extremely high, he wants to be the first emperor of the ages, so he spares no effort to build the eastern capital, open the canal, conquer the east and the west, fight the west, and fight the east.
Such an extremely arrogant emperor is now going to sin himself?
It's unbelievable.
Su Li thought for a moment and nodded.
"If Your Majesty wants to offend yourself, it's not impossible, if you think that Your Majesty is addicted to alcohol and will die soon, if you can offend yourself, although it still won't save the hearts of many people, but let people see the changes, you can also let some people be loyal, loyal ministers to one, one more, Your Majesty can accumulate strength."
"What the emperor said is exactly what I wanted, tomorrow I will sin myself, and at the same time, I will also tell the world the news of the emperor's descent to the world."
After Yang Guang finished speaking, he looked at the stone dragon on Su Li's side again.
"Isn't this the number one master in Yangzhou - the mountain pusher Shilong? You can help me, I want to thank you, high-ranking officials, take your pick. ”
Yang Guang's gaze stared at Shi Long carefully, although his martial arts cultivation was a little worse, he had a vision.
At a glance, he knew that this No. 1 stone dragon in Yangzhou was indeed a master.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Your Majesty has been sent, and the minister doesn't dare to refuse."
Shi Long remembered that there were Taoist predecessors in front of him, and his words were peaceful and upright, where did he dare to pose.
"The Taoist recipe for longevity is also here, but I suggest that Your Majesty can gather the people under his command who are well-educated to crack these oracle bone inscriptions."
Su Li took out the longevity formula, but did not give it to Yang Guang immediately.
He didn't plan to give it to Yang Guang, but if there was a rubbing of the longevity formula, Yang Guang could refer to the rubbing.
"Spread my will, immediately make this longevity recipe into a rubbing, and I will see it today."
Yang Guang's eyes turned, and he immediately understood what the emperor meant, and with an order, many people entered the palace.
These people are scholars from poor families, full of poetry and books, and they don't know much about the things on the rivers and lakes, and they don't know that this thing in front of them is the secret of longevity, but they all have good words.
Now seeing the summons of Emperor Sui, he hurriedly entered the palace and traced the oracle bone inscriptions on the longevity recipe on the paper, without any mistakes.
If you are slightly wrong, it is the sin of killing your head.
"Let's go down, and each will be rewarded with three taels."
Yang Guang waved his hand and motioned for these poor scholars to go down.
He didn't seem to care that the oracle bone inscription on the longevity recipe was copied, and he made another decree, inviting a well-educated person who was still in the court to come and decipher the oracle bone inscription.
It is basically impossible for ordinary scholars from the poor family to recognize this oracle bone inscription, and their role is to copy the oracle bone inscription.
And to decipher the oracle bone inscription, it still needs the family, the learned people in the gate, those people who have read through the past and the present, and have mastered a lot of knowledge, and now they have been invited by Yang Guang.
The old rules.
Different people decipher separately, and if they are different, let two people debate, or ask another person.
If several people are the same, the word is confirmed.
Shi Long looked at the hot scenes in the room, his eyes widened, and he felt incredible again.
"This longevity recipe is in my hands, and I have studied it alone for three years, and I have not obtained any results, but once it is in the hands of His Majesty, he actually dares to do it!"
Shi Long remembered that ordinary people get the secret of longevity, and where will they make it public, they will only study it themselves, for fear that others will see it.
But this secret of immortality came into the hands of Emperor Sui, and he directly summoned all the well-educated people to study it together, and to understand the key to it.
Such a stroke is definitely a big deal.
Perhaps the secret of immortality has not fallen into the hands of a certain emperor since ancient times, and there is basically no such major event in the entire history.
One by one, well-educated people were in the house, looking at the oracle bone inscriptions and concentrating on translation.
What they see is not even a recipe for longevity, but one word after another.
After a little thought and verification, they figured out the meaning of this word.
"One day inside the human body, another day outside the inner heaven and earth.
If the inside and outside of heaven and earth are the same, then you will enter a mysterious realm.
If the inner and outer heaven and earth are different, then enter another mysterious realm.
This so-called yin and yang pole change, the avenue is impermanent. ”
With the translation of a group of erudite scholars, the content of the longevity formula gradually appeared in front of him.
The original oracle bone script actually meant this.
After some more translation, a sentence appeared in the oracle bone script of the Recipe of Longevity:
"The external qi is inexhaustible, and the internal breath is not born."
The meaning of this sentence is very mysterious, is it that when the external qi of a person is exhausted, a breath can be automatically born from the human body? The breath does not have to go to the sky, but the qi in the body, which is endless? ”
The only people who can see these words in their entirety are probably Su Li, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui and Shi Long.
At this time, Shi Long read the newly translated words, and his whole person showed a thoughtful expression.
This kind of realm, which seems to be incomparably subtle, has reached an extremely intelligent realm.
"Could it be that this is the reason why the cultivators of the Shattered Void were able to survive?"
Su Li also became very interested in these words.
The external qi is inexhaustible, and the internal qi is not born.
If the internal qi is born, it can be the same no matter what the external qi is.
When a practitioner has reached this state through cultivation, he does not need to rely on the breath of the outside world at all.
If you go into a vacuum, you can also generate a lot of breath in your body, so as not to be destroyed by the vacuum.
This may be the reason why those monks who shattered the void survived.
They themselves have already reached a kind of reason for not relying on external qi to survive, so their physical bodies can cross the void, and even if they are outside the universe, they are still safe and sound.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be very unjust for the powerhouse of the Shattered Void to just shatter to a place where there was no air, and immediately die?
Several people all showed happy expressions, even Emperor Yang Guang of Sui.
Although he is not very proficient in martial arts, such a realm sounds very clever.
Time passed again, and some of the words were translated.
This time the words were about the same as the ones before.
It's still about breathing.
Only by cutting off the acquired breath can we activate the true qi breath in the body, which is what Taoists call innate breathing.
If you can activate this innate breath, you can do all kinds of unthinkable things, walk from the bottom of the sea, hold your breath for a few hours, and you can be safe and sound.
Flying on the top of the sky, even if the air is thin, you can still hold on.
In terms of longevity, there are many profound realms.
"After studying for three years, it's better for these Confucian scholars to decipher it for a day, is this the power of the imperial court?!"
Shi Long's whole person watched the longevity formula gradually being deciphered, and his heart was extremely shocked.
"Sure enough, it's a good thing to join the imperial court."
