Chapter Eighty-Seven: Don't ask the common people

The birds spread their wings and flew over the city where the house stretched to the end of the sky.

This is the Great Zhou Shenjing, a hundred years of prosperity capital, after several expansions, now the outer city has no city walls, only divided into the city.

The avenues are vertical and horizontal, dividing Kyoto into grids.

The birds swept across the avenue and the lattice of the market, and saw that they were about to fall into the red-walled and gold-tiled palace.

At this time, a tiny thread of invisible silk fell from the clouds and pierced into the bird's body.

Translucent white threads continued to pour in, and the birds kept struggling, but in an instant they lost their life and hung in the air.

With the injection of extremely fine silk threads, the meridians in the entire bird's body and even in the eyeballs are faintly seen to form a net.

Resembling a spider's web, it quickly disappears.

It didn't take long for the bird to spread its wings again, turn its head and fly southeast.

There, it is the direction of Yanding Mansion.

In the splendid palace hall below, spring has already begun, and the charcoal stove is still burning.

There were layers of guards outside, and the palace maids stood in pairs along the corridor to the innermost.

In the midst of the golden veil curtain, an old man in a white Taoist robe was sitting cross-legged on a futon, contemplating enlightenment.

In fact, it is sitting and thinking about nothing, which is not as real as the supreme dream of high envy.

A eunuch walked in with two men holding food boxes through the corridor,

Cautiously opened the curtain: "Your Majesty!

"Ahem!"

The emperor in the Taoist robe coughed twice, sat up with the help of others, drank the medicine in one gulp, and his face was already full of red.

The eunuch whispered again: "Liu An is back, and he is waiting outside, saying that he has urgent matters to see His Majesty." ”

The emperor frowned: "Didn't I ask him to invite the immortals, why did he come back so soon?"

"Let him in. ”

Yanding Mansion is the land at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the gateway to the land of Gyeonggi, from Yanding Mansion to the capital on a fast horse, the fastest one day to reach the capital.

Father-in-law Liu An, who had gone to ask for an immortal, hurried back at this moment, and knelt in front of the Son of Heaven excitedly.

"Your Majesty, the slave has returned. ”

The old emperor opened his eyes and was shocked: "You...... Is it Liu An?"

When he came back, most of the folds on his face were gone, and it looked like he was going back in time, and he didn't know how young he was.

Da Zhou Tianzi, who was full of silver hair like an old lion, was the most sensitive to this change, and suddenly rushed out of it, squatted in front of Liu An's father-in-law, grabbed his face and looked at it carefully.

Gonggong Liu didn't dare to move, and let the emperor grab his face and look left and right.

The more the old emperor looked at it, the more excited and flickering his eyes became: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Gonggong Liu knelt down and kowtowed again: "The elixir of life! The old slave has taken a sip of the elixir of elixir, so there is such a change." ”

"What did you say? Elixir?"

The emperor gasped when he heard this, his eyes turned red, and he shouted eagerly: "You old thing, don't sell it, come quickly." ”

Gonggong Liu immediately told in detail everything that happened when he arrived at Yanding Mansion.

Speaking of how to go up the mountain, the immortal swept the dust, and the clouds swirled down from the top of the mountain.

"The whole mountain is cloudy, and the Taoist temple is like floating on the clouds. ”

The immortal sat on top of the clouds, embracing the dust, and there was a wisp of Dao marks like a great road sigil in the center of his eyebrows. ”

The immortal replied with a smile......

Speaking of this, Gonggong Liu became hesitant and didn't dare to say any more.

"What did the immortals say?" the old emperor who sat cross-legged on the ground said urgently.

As soon as the emperor asked, Gonggong Liu knelt on the ground and said with a trembling body.

"When did the gods be sealed by people. ”

The emperor was shocked and regretful when he heard this, but he felt that this was the immortal he was looking for, not those people who deceived the world and stole fame in the capital.

Finally, he let out a loud laugh: "Hahahaha! Why do immortals need people to seal it!"

"This is the true immortal!

After speaking, let Gonggong Liu continue.

Gonggong Liu got up at this time: "As soon as the immortal finished saying this, suddenly there was a movement from the mountain that shook the mountain, and the old slave raised his eyes and saw a light rushing to the sky on the top of the mountain, and then a long rainbow hung on the top of the mountain. ”

Gonggong Liu also raised his head at this moment, and that touching scene seemed to flash in his pupils again.

He even faintly saw an immortal tripod emitting golden light in it, and the sky-high light leaked out precisely because the lid was opened. ”

"Dan Qi rushed down from the mountain, and we waited just in time to meet it. ”

"In an instant, the flowers bloom on the hillside, and the trees pull their leaves, bloom, and bear fruit in an instant. ”

I turned my head again to see that the spiritual void Taoist beside me was full of silver threads turned black, and the wrinkles on his face were gone. ”

The more the emperor listened, the more impatient he became, the more he felt as if there was a kitten tickling in his heart, and it was unbearable.

Hearing this, he suddenly stood up: "What is refined in the immortal tripod must be the legendary elixir of immortality, the supreme elixir." ”

"If not, how can a hundred flowers bloom and dead trees bloom in spring, so that people can rejuvenate. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor looked at the red-clothed eunuch kneeling in the hall with jealousy and sigh.

"Why am I not here, I can't see the immortals. ”

"On the contrary, it made your slave have a trace of immortal energy, it is really a tyrannical thing. ”

Turning his head to look at the other eunuch at the door: "Quickly invite Si Tianjian Tao Xianjian to enter the palace." ”

—————-

It was already dark, and a carriage arrived before the palace gates.

Dressed in official robes, Si Tian Supervisor Zheng Tao Xian stepped out of the carriage, walked through the corridor in the palace, and entered the palace under the greeting of several eunuchs carrying lanterns.

The emperor was still wearing a Taoist robe and had not changed, sitting cross-legged on the futon, and a gorgeous and unearthly woman standing beside him, also wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk, this was a concubine.

It feels a little weird.

One is obviously a true Taoist, but he is wearing an official uniform.

is obviously the emperor and concubine, but he pretends to be a Taoist priest and Kun Dao.

"The minister has seen His Majesty and Concubine Li Shu!" Tao Xian stepped forward to salute.

"Give Tao Aiqing a seat. The emperor said without hurrying.

Seeing the emperor, Tao Xian just made a salute and was given a seat by the emperor.

It can be seen that Tao Xian is considered a civil and military official, but his status in the emperor's heart is transcendent.

The emperor couldn't wait to talk about the empty dust immortal, and asked Tao Xian: "This is a real immortal?"

Tao Xian listened carefully, and the surprise in his eyes was even worse, but he also had a trace of worry.

"Naturally, it is a true immortal. ”

"Poor Dao has checked, there was a record of this immortal in the previous dynasty, and now the dynasty has been established for nearly a hundred years, and this immortal is still immortal. ”

"I don't practice magic and magic techniques, but use the power of heaven and earth with my hands. ”

"It can break mountains and rivers with a sword, refine the world with fire, move things for thousands of miles, and even call the wind and rain. ”

"Except for the immortals, Poor Dao can't think of such a means that there are people who can have such means. ”

The emperor's eyes shone even more: "In this way, this elixir is also true?"

Tao Xian also replied truthfully: "The Lingxu Daoist is a disciple of our Heavenly Prison, and he is also proficient in the art of alchemy. ”

Since he guessed that the elixir refined by the immortals was the elixir of immortality, what he said should be true, even if it wasn't, since a breath of Dan Qi could rejuvenate people, the elixir refined in the Kunlun Divine Ding must also have the effect of immortality, or even surpass. ”

The emperor immediately stood up and made a decision: "In this case, I want to go to the Immortal Mountain of Yanding Mansion to welcome the immortals down the mountain. ”

"Tao Aiqing can go with me. ”

Tao Xian entered the palace today to prepare to talk to the emperor about the leader of the Five Gods Sect, the legendary Xuanzhu Huode Zhenjun.

So far, although he still hasn't found this Xuanzhu Huode True Monarch, Tao Xian has found a lot of clues.

Not only did the capital secretly flourish the belief of re-enshrined Xuanzhu Huode Zhenjun, but it was tracked all the way, and even traced to the palace.

Secretly, Tao Xian even felt that some of the civil and military officials had recently been abnormal, especially the officials from Jiangzhou, Gongzhou, and Yunzhou, who had been faintly related to this matter recently.

If the Son of Heaven and himself are out of the capital at this time, it is very likely that there will be major changes.

"Your Majesty, never!"

Tao Xian immediately stopped it and made it clear what was at stake.

But the Emperor was completely carried away by the elixir of life, and could no longer listen to any persuasion.

As life spans come to an end and people grow old and decrepit, His Majesty's fear of life and death will become stronger, and the more he believes in immortals and alchemy.

At this moment, I have to see the true immortal descending to earth, and there is an elixir of life in the world, not to mention that it is just a clue, even if someone rebels immediately, it is not as important as his immortality at the moment.

However, the emperor still respected Tao Xian very much, gave him a step down, and asked about the concubine who pretended to be Kun Dao beside him.

"Concubine Li, do you think I'm going or not?"

The queen has long since passed away, and then the Son of Heaven left the queen vacant, and now this Concubine Li Shu is the most powerful and favored person in the harem.

The Son of Heaven is sick, and the Son of Heaven's dictation is even passed on by this Concubine Li Shu.

Now the Taifu Qing who is in charge of the inner treasury is Li Shufei's father Wei Guogong, and the prime minister of the dynasty is Li Shufei's uncle, and the power of the Li family in the court can be said to be power-leaning towards the government and the opposition.

The beauty smiled: "Since it is a true immortal who descended to earth, now this elixir is on the immortal mountain of Yanding Mansion, this is the will of the immortal god and the sky, Your Majesty should go." ”

The emperor laughed: "Hahahaha! Sure enough, the concubine still understands me!"

Tao Xian was speechless.

All the way out of the palace in the cold wind of the night, the carriage returned to the Si Tian Supervision Office.

Tao Xian got out of the car and looked at the lights of Wanjia, and couldn't help but bow his head and smile, looking a little downcast.

"Pity the front seat in the middle of the night, don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods. ”
