Chapter 716: Immortals Spread the Law, Anshi Rebellion
Li Bai has been bohemian and arrogant since he was a child, and he always felt that there was no poem in this world that he couldn't write, until he saw the national teacher's "Will Enter the Wine".
At that time, the huge sense of impact, in a trance, he even felt that it was written by himself.
In addition, he likes to seek immortals and visit the Tao, and gradually he worships the national teacher more and more, sighing many times, hating that he is not in the same era as the national teacher and student, and he can't worship him as a teacher.
From Qingyang Town to Longyou County, then to Liling, Longhu Mountain, and now Chang'an, he walked again along the road taken by the national teacher back then, like a pilgrimage.
Although he has become famous in Chang'an by virtue of his poetry and writing, he is known as an immortal, but whenever he thinks of that man, he always feels ashamed of himself.
After thinking about it, Li Bai wrote another poem.
"I love Master Li, and I am known all over the world. The red face abandons the Xuan crown, and the white head lies on the pine cloud. The drunken moon is often in the saint, and the flowers are not a thing. The high mountains are safe and up, and they are in vain. ”
The topic is also very straightforward, and it is given to Li Tianshi.
To be honest, writing this poem, in addition to expressing his admiration for the national teacher, Li Bai also has his own careful thoughts.
He has traveled so many places, but he has not found where the national teacher is living in seclusion, in this case, maybe he can write a poem for the national teacher, if this poem can be famous all over the world, maybe the national teacher will take the initiative to show up?
But when it came to the last stroke, his beloved brush suddenly broke for some reason.
Li Bai's heart suddenly ached.
The origin of this brush is not simple, he once went to Longhu Mountain to ask to see the national teacher, but the national teacher did not see it, but he saw Zhang Tianshi, who was already one hundred and fifty-two years old, that is, the master of the national teacher.
When he saw that Zhang Tianshi was pale and white-haired, but he was in good spirits and detached, he couldn't help but sigh that he was really a fairy among the gods, and immediately composed a poem for Longhu Mountain.
Zhang Tianshi laughed after seeing it, and gave a gift, which was this emerald brush.
According to Zhang Tianshi, this brush was used by the national teacher in his early years to practice talismans, although it is not a precious magic weapon, but it also has the effect of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and the most important thing is its commemorative significance.
It is no exaggeration to say that with the gimmick used by the national teacher in his early years, this pen can be sold at a sky-high price, not to mention the huge influence of the national teacher in the people, even today, they like to collect treasures related to the national teacher.
After Li Bai got this pen, it can be said that he was like a treasure, but he didn't expect it to suddenly break today for some reason.
Even the applause and admiration of the people around him could not be heard.
But the next moment, he sensed that something was wrong, because the surroundings suddenly began to commotion, and someone shouted for help.
A wild boar the size of a calf rampaged through the city, its fangs flashing with cold light, running like lightning, crashing into countless pedestrians.
Li Bai was shocked, this is Chang'an!
Since the deployment of the Zhou Tianxing Dou Great Array, Datang has become a forbidden area for demons, and this kind of thing has not happened for many years.
But fortunately, the reaction of the imperial court was also very fast.
A figure fell from the clouds, it was actually a young woman, wearing a white robe, holding a jade-colored dust, wearing the mask of the Queen Mother of the West, her eyes were clear and smart, and her temperament was elegant.
The woman pinched the thunder seal in her hand, and a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the clear sky, hitting the pig demon.
The pig demon, who had just been invincible, suddenly fell, black smoke rose from his body, and he was already too dead to die.
The woman frowned slightly, puzzled in her heart.
Why has the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array been out of order recently, and the number of monsters in various places has increased, could it be...... The catastrophe he spoke of is coming?
Thinking of that man, her eyes darkened, and finally flicked her cloud sleeves, took away the body of the pig demon, and floated away.
Li Bai looked at it stupidly, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he sighed: "The real immortals are also human!" ”
He inquired who this woman was, but he couldn't find a national teacher, and he could worship her as a teacher.
Someone shook his head and said: "Great poet, don't think about it, she is a newcomer to the dragon, the Queen Mother of the West, it is said that her spells were taught by the national teacher himself, not a disciple, but better than a disciple." ”
Li Bai was immediately envious.
Half an hour later, he came to the bustling East Market, ready to find a craftsman to repair his brush, but he was not satisfied with several of them.
Until he was in a corner and saw a white-haired old man.
The old man was a tinker and set up a stall with a line of large letters written on it.
The water can be collected, and the broken mirror is also reunited.
What a big breath!
Li Bai walked over and handed him his broken brush, not to mention the origin, and pretended to be a test: "The old man may repair it?" ”
The old man just glanced at it and smiled, "Yes." ”
Li Bai sneered and said, "Do you know who used this pen?" ”
The old man laughed and said, "Isn't it what Li Daoxuan used?" ”
Li Bai subconsciously said: "You know, just-"
His voice stopped abruptly, and he stared at the old man with wide eyes.
The old man shook his head and smiled, but he didn't speak, but the broken brush suddenly bloomed with a glow, which not only repaired itself, but also became more crystal clear, as if there was a nebula circulating in it.
"Li Bai, look at it, are you still satisfied with the old man's brushwork?"
The old man threw it lightly, and the brush automatically flew into Li Bai's hand, and the moment he held it, there seemed to be an indescribable heat rushing into his body.
"You...... Who the hell are you? ”
At this moment, Li Bai didn't know that he had met a master.
The old man got up slightly, shook his head and smiled: "You have been looking for me for so long, why did you really see me, but you turned a blind eye?" ”
Li Bai's heart was shocked.
At this moment, he saw the old man float up, his whole body seemed to be flowing with flawless fairy light, his face began to become younger, his white hair turned into green silk at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the folds on his skin were also hidden, becoming as smooth as jade.
Especially those star-like eyes, as wide as the sky, like the abyss of the sea.
It's really a national teacher!!
Li Bai was extremely excited in his heart, he didn't expect that the national teacher he was looking for really appeared, and he was about to open his mouth to ask to worship him as a teacher, but he found that his body was completely unable to move.
The handsome Taoist man in white and gold looked at him and smiled slightly.
"Li Bai, I owe you favors in my early years, and now let you be a veritable poet immortal."
After that, the slender and white palm fell and pressed on Li Bai's head.
An indescribable sense of mystery surfaced in Li Bai's heart, and he felt as if some major change had taken place in him, but it seemed as if nothing had changed.
"Remember, the catastrophe is coming, protect Datang for me, and wait for the poor road to get out."
The voice fell, and Li Bai suddenly felt that he could move again.
looked at Li Daoxuan again, but found that the other party had become an old man again, and the two stared at each other with big eyes.
"Hey, look at what, if you don't fix something, don't stand here all the time, it's blocking my business!"
The old man scolded, completely losing the high-minded posture of the light breeze just now.
And the trick of "covering the water can be collected, and the broken mirror is also reunited" has also become "repairing old things, only three texts".
Li Bai immediately realized that the national teacher had just borrowed this person's body to ignite himself and gave him a great opportunity.
He immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, like a mad demon, attracting passers-by on the street to look sideways.
The old man looked disgusted.
"I looked like a reader, but I didn't expect to be a madman."
"It's unlucky."
……
Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.
Li Longji sat on the dragon chair, not wearing a dragon robe, but wearing armor, holding a green sword, like a tiger standing on a dragon plate, majestic and domineering.
As the emperor who single-handedly created the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, although he is forty-four years old, he is still in the prime of life, full of energy, and his body is imposing.
quelled the rebellion of Empress Wei and defeated Princess Taiping, his road to the emperor was not smooth, but he also gained more tempering because of this, and even in the face of great changes, he was still able to maintain his composure.
At this moment, the civil and military ministers in important positions are all standing in the hall with solemn faces.
Li Lizhen, the king of Chen, was sitting in the hall, and the members of the dragon and the four lieutenants among the bad people were standing silently behind her.
No one in the temple spoke, as if waiting for someone.
Not long after, a person flew in, it was Yang Yuhuan wearing the mask of the Queen Mother of the West, she stood in a pavilion, and her fairy posture was out of the dust, invisibly attracting everyone's attention.
Among them, Li Longji's gaze is particularly hot.
I don't know why, he is forty-four years old, and he has a kind of love at first sight for Yang Yuhuan, who is just seventeen years old.
But unfortunately, Yang Yuhuan ignored him.
Syllable!
The corpse of a pig demon fell in the hall, and everyone's faces changed slightly.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with Zhou Tian's Star Dou Great Array, why are there even demons in Chang'an?"
Li Longji stared at her and sighed, "An Lushan is reversed. ”
Yang Yuhuan was a little puzzled, who was the opposite?
Who is An Lushan?
This is not to blame him, it is only the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan, and the famous Anshi Rebellion in later generations occurred in the fourteenth year of Tianbao, and An Lushan at this moment is just a gangster in Liucheng, Yingzhou.
When someone explained An Lushan's origin to her, Yang Yuhuan was even more puzzled.
Isn't the so-called rebellion of a foreigner with no soldiers and horses, no power and no power, just a joke? What does it have to do with the appearance of demons in Chang'an?
At this moment, Changle spoke.
"Yuhuan, after Master expelled us from the dojo, I have been worried about the catastrophe, and I have deduced many times, and finally found a little eyebrow."
"Then An Lushan will become the source of the trouble Li Tang, so as early as three years ago, I sent bad people to kill him, and buried his body on the spot, there will be no mistake."
After a pause, Changle's voice was solemn.
"But now, he has been resurrected again, and a big banner has been erected in Yingzhou, called the Ten Thousand Demon Banners."
Ten Thousand Demon Flags!
Yang Yuhuan's heart was shocked, isn't this the legendary treasure of Nuwa Niangniang?
It is rumored that as soon as this flag comes out, the demons of the Three Realms and the Ten Directions will all bow down and obey the dispatch, which is the treasure of the demon clan, how can it appear in the hands of An Lushan?
Li Longji's voice sounded.
"This banner is extremely powerful, the entire Yingzhou has become a country of demons, the people have been reduced to blood food, and the demonic aura that soars to the sky has even affected the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, and it has repeatedly failed."
No matter how powerful Zhou Tianxingdou Array is, it is just a formation of Louguan Dao, and compared with Nuwa Niangniang's Ten Thousand Demon Flags, it is indeed not enough to see.
"Refuse to report, this thief has gathered hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers, is killing Chang'an, has captured Jinyang, Zhuozhou, Youzhou and other places, everywhere he goes has become a hell on earth, less than eight hundred miles away from Chang'an!"
There was a hint of exhaustion in Li Longji's voice.
During this time, he had sent many elite armies to support, including monks from the Buddha and Taoist families, but without exception, they could only barely resist the enemy's footsteps for a while.
Even the Yang God Monk was killed in battle.
Because there was no grass where the demon soldiers passed, none of the men, women, and children could escape, and the imperial court deliberately blocked the news, so the people of Chang'an did not know that they were about to be in a catastrophe.
"Looking at the route of this thief's march, I want to take Chang'an in the shortest possible time, and King Chen has calculated that they will arrive tonight."
Hearing this, the ministers in the palace immediately discussed, some were anxious, some were afraid, and some were angry.
"Your Majesty, can't King Chen and the dragon stop them?"
"Your Majesty does you have the Daomen and the Buddha Gate to inform the world?"
"Your Majesty, you are the body of the Son of Heaven, you have to take care of the dragon body, why don't you leave Chang'an first?"
……
Everyone didn't say a word, which made Li Longji, who was already irritable, even more angry, he slapped it violently and said angrily: "Silence! ”
The audience immediately fell silent.
"I summoned everyone here today to decide one thing, whether to defend Chang'an and fight to the end with that thief, or to preserve our strength and move to Shuzhou?"
For a while, everyone discussed.
However, most of them were still stunned, immersed in the dream of the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, and never thought that once the dream was shattered, the enemy was about to hit Chang'an.
In the end, it was the famous minister Song Jing who made the final decision.
He asked the ministers two questions.
"Dare to ask you, is it faster for me to wait for horsepower, or is it faster for demon soldiers?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Let me ask you again, is it the natural danger in Shuzhou that is more powerful, or is the Four Saints Great Array in my Chang'an more powerful?"
The crowd was silent again.
Escape, can't escape the other party, on the other hand, looking at the Four Saints Great Array in Chang'an, known as the Heavy Array for Protecting the Country, they seem to have two choices in front of them, but in fact there is only one.
At this time, Li Longji stood up, his eyes were murderous.
"What Song Gong said is very true, escaping is a coward's act, a move to destroy the country, at this moment, we can only have a glimmer of life if we defend Chang'an!"
He threw another reassurance to the crowd.
"The national teacher will not watch the Tang Dynasty perish, King Chen said, his old man is breaking through and is about to succeed, as long as we can hold on until the arrival of the national teacher, those so-called demon soldiers will be wiped out!"
Hearing this, the ministers calmed down.
Li Longji pulled out the Qingying Sword and said, "Everyone, after today, if anyone tries to flee in vain, or speaks of cowardice, I will use this sword to behead him and sacrifice the flag!" ”
The voice is sonorous and powerful, revealing the courage of a prosperous emperor.
"We are willing to follow Your Majesty to the death!"
"Defend Chang'an!"
……
At night, the people of Chang'an were still asleep, and the city wall was already full of the most elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
The flag fluttered, and the murderous atmosphere was pervasive.
When a wisp of demon wind blew, Li Longji opened his eyes suddenly, staring at the dark night in front of him.
The moon was obscured by black clouds at some point, and the sky and the earth were dark.
"Ignition!"
At his command, the torch on the city wall was lit, and the flames rose to illuminate the darkness, but these battle-hardened soldiers gasped and their scalps tingled.
Monsters, dense like waves of monsters roaring from afar, like mountains and mountains, like monstrous waves!
……
