In the darkness of the night, a group of men and horses marched quickly at the foot of the mountain, and at the head were four men in black clothes riding hussars, looking from east and west, apparently not wanting to be seen. I saw more than 20 riders in the middle, surrounded by a cart inside and out, and I was afraid that someone would get closer.

"Juzheng, how far is it still away?" a tired voice vaguely came from the chariot.

At this time, after listening to the question coming from the chariot, he rode his horse closer, bowed and replied, "Master, it is about four or five miles away from the gate, and it will take at most half an hour to reach the mountain." ”

"Go faster, and get there before the end of the hour!", the voice in the chariot was very urgent.

When the old man heard this, he answered "yes", and said to the people, "Hurry up, you will reach the top of the mountain before the end of the day!"

In the Zhenwu Guan Dan room, several Taoist priests were busy working around the Yidan furnace, throwing some fine powder and other things into it from time to time. There is a small square table on the left and right of the crowd, a pot of tea and two teacups are placed on the table, and a Taoist priest with a young description and deep eyes is sitting on the main seat. Looking at his clothes, he is more luxurious than everyone else, and he is the one in charge of this, but at this time, he doesn't care about everyone's busyness, and he is holding a cup and drinking tea, which is quite comfortable. About half a burnt incense, the man stopped moving, listened to something, and after a breath, he said, "Zhanqing, there are guests coming, fill up the tea." A square-faced young man of twenty-five or sixteen walked out of the Taoist priesthood, answered, and came to carry the teapot down.

After a stick of incense, there was a sound of neat footsteps outside the view, and it gradually approached the Danfang. A few people by the fireside looked out, only to hear the tea ceremony man scolding lightly, "What are you seeing! Mo Sheng is distracted!" The reprimand subsided, and saw six people enter the Danfang, five of which are the four black-clothed men and the old man at the foot of Shicai Mountain, and the rest is an old man in fancy clothes, who is walking quickly to the Taoist, and said with an anxious face, "Qingxuan, have you missed the time?"

The Taoist priest named "Qingxuan" did not leave his seat, and when he heard the man ask, he echoed in harmony, "Your Majesty, please sit down, there is still a quarter of an hour, take a sip of tea first." "The old man who asked before was the current emperor of Dahua, Emperor Yonghua, and standing next to him was Ni Juzheng, the leader of the internal officials.

Emperor Yonghua walked to the seat, but did not sit down, but stared directly at the Qingxuan Taoist person on the opposite seat, with three or four snaps of his fingers, Fang Shi said, "We haven't seen each other for six or seven years, and now I am dying, junior brother, you, are actually returning to old age", the admiration in the meaning could not be concealed, but the face was a face of vicissitudes. After speaking, he slowly sat down.

"As the lord of the country, you enjoy the wealth and blessings of the world, but you are the envy of hundreds of millions, don't you be satisfied?" Qingxuan Daoist teased. When Emperor Yonghua was still a prince, he was deeply obsessed with Taoism, and he came to practice in this true martial arts concept many times, and the two became acquainted with each other at that time. Only later did Yonghua become the emperor of Dahua, and he had no choice but to do anything, so he was not so diligent when he came to this view. Especially in the past ten years, the state of Dahua has been declining, and Emperor Yonghua has not been able to leave the palace, but the two have not seen each other, and they are still friends with the same generation.

I don't know if Emperor Yonghua listened to the words of Qingxuan Daoist, I saw that he was obsessed, sad for a while, unbearable for a while, his eyelids trembled, and there was a little sadness in his eyes, and he patted the tea party and shouted loudly, "I shouldn't have been the emperor of this Laoshizi! As soon as I stepped on the dragon chair without myself, I should have thought of it! Since I became the emperor, there are endless discussions about family and country affairs every day, and the dynasty has just ended, and those bullshit ministers are waiting outside the Qinzheng Palace, and they are handing excerpts and asking for political affairs, and they are really not idle for a moment! I really regret it! Father, the child promised your last words, but he actually bought and sold the child's life! Father, you... ... You're really wrong about me!" said with tears on his face, his face trembled, and his face was hurt. Ni Juzheng and the four guards on the side had already knelt on the ground and bowed, not daring to speak.

I only heard Emperor Yonghua say suddenly, "Senior brother, do you know how bitter I am in my heart? In the first few years when I became emperor, the situation in the court was turbulent, and I easily stabilized the situation. I wanted to give up the throne to Muren, but several ministers listened to it, and they were so anxious that they guarded the palace gate day and night, saying that what the court situation should be settled, and the internal and external troubles have not been solved. Now that I think about it, I should have put my mind down at that time, and I killed them all in one go!" At the end of his words, his face was hideous, and his fierce light was revealed. Only this face could not hold a breath, and Emperor Yonghua returned to a depressed face.

After a few years, Mu Dynasty and Mu Yang also gradually grew up, and some ministers instigated them to compete for the throne. Alas, they are all my dearest flesh and blood, and they are all good at governing the country, and as this Dahua Emperor, they must be far better than me, so that I am really difficult to choose. Mu Ren, low-minded, tenacious, not arrogant or impatient; Mu Chao, witty, courageous, impartial, Mu Yang, my favorite is this child!" A few years ago, I wanted to pass on the throne to him, but I knew how poisonous this throne was, but I was afraid that once he became the emperor, he would no longer be as free and easy as he is now, and he would be bound by this throne for life. ”

Qingxuan Daoist, sitting on the side, seemed to ignore these, leisurely drinking tea, and glanced at the Danlu from time to time. When Emperor Yonghua didn't seem to have any intention of saying more, he said in a straight voice, "Your three souls are declining at the moment, and your vitality is not vigorous, but you don't have two years of life left!"

When Yonghua heard the bad news, his expression froze, and the two turbid tears stopped, and then he spread out again, shaking his head and lamenting, "What is the use of being an emperor? A hero like the ancestor Ruren is now only a handful of loess." I have known about this matter for a long time, and I only hate me, hate me for being cowardly and cautious, scruples left and right, and mistaken Jingjing Shaohua. Qingxuan, you are outside the world, you are alone, you can exhaust your energy to understand the Dao Method......" Speaking of this, Emperor Yonghua seemed to suddenly remember something, suddenly got up, reached out to grab the sleeve of the Qingxuan Daoist, ignored the overturned teacup on the table, and said eagerly, "You must be a Fa Dao success now, and there must be a wonderful Fa to help me?" Emperor Yonghua's eyes were shining, like hunger and thirst.

Qingxuan Daoist got up, walked towards the Dan furnace, and said, "Take the purple gold bowl and the purple gold spoon!" The square-faced monk named Zhan Qing before went down according to his words, and hurriedly brought two things, one of which was eight inches in diameter and more than a foot high, so it should be a purple gold bowl, and the other was like a huge spoon, most of which was the thing called the purple gold spoon.

Emperor Yonghua followed behind Qingxuandao people to the side of the Dan furnace, and then listened to Qingxuandao, "You and I have been friends for more than 30 years, and we should help you." A few days ago, Zhan Ming looked back and told me about your current situation, and I expected that you must have a hidden illness and your situation is critical. I called you here today for this furnace of yang shengli. Yang Sheng Liquid is the result of my intensive research for more than 30 years, which can get rid of hidden diseases and strengthen the soul, and the best effect is when it is Yin, and it can extend your life span for ten years. ”

Zhan Ming is the first disciple of Qingxuan Daoist, and five years ago, he was invited by Emperor Yonghua to preach in the palace. At the end of last night, Zhan Ming presented a letter, which contained 14 characters in Qingxuan's handwriting: Tomorrow when Yin will go to the Zhenwu Guan Danfang, the matter is big. Emperor Yonghua knew that what Qingxuan Dao people said must be true, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he hurried after all the arrangements were made, and when he heard that he only had two years of yang life left, he really lost all his thoughts, and at this moment he listened to the miraculous effect of this yang sheng liquid, and he was really overjoyed, and he didn't say thank you for a while, and the corners of his eyes were squeezed into a line, overflowing with two lines of laughter and tears.
