Chapter 107: The Son of Heaven Seeks Immortals
The sky was bright in the morning.
The elite soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, armed with sharp blades and wearing armor, arrived at the foot of Dengxian Guan Mountain in a military formation.
A general rode out on horseback, commanding the soldiers who surrounded the mountain peak on the third floor and the outer three layers, and guarded several entrances to the mountain, and the Dengxian Temple was surrounded by water.
This is in preparation for the upcoming emperor and going up the mountain to ask for immortals.
There were caravans coming from afar, and they didn't know what was going on, pointing at such a big movement and battle here.
"What is going on, why are so many officers and soldiers dispatched?" the merchant was a little worried when he saw this battle.
A local porter who went out of the city carried his burden and said, "Don't you know yet?
"A few days ago, there was a sudden fog in this Dengxian Temple, and no one could go up the mountain, and then there were people from the palace who went up the mountain, and the mountain suddenly shone out. ”
"You didn't see the light, it all shone to the zenith, and I could see it clearly in the city at the time. ”
"Later, everyone said that there is an immortal tripod on the top of the mountain, and the light is that the immortals are refining the elixir!"
The merchant immediately raised his voice: "This immortal, could it be the Empty Dust Dao Monarch?"
The porter stopped and asked curiously, "That's right, everyone says it's this great immortal, and you also know the Empty Dust Daojun?"
The merchant and a few guys around him suddenly laughed: "Of course, I'm all the way from Lingzhou, who from Lingzhou doesn't know the Empty Dust Daojun!"
"A few of us, our ears are calloused!"
The porter was also a little happy, as if he had found a common language: "I know, I know! I read the legend of the immortals in the plum garden in the city, and it tells the story of Lingzhou." ”
"The drought in Lingzhou is so miserable, if it weren't for the immortals, Lingzhou doesn't know how many people will die!"
The merchant immediately took out a few large sums of money and put them in the porter's hand, but the other party refused again and again.
"How can I take your money for nothing, no, no!"
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask, why are so many soldiers surrounding the mountain?"
The porter held the money in his hand and said hesitantly, "I have heard from others, and I heard that the Son of Heaven is coming." ”
The merchant's eyes suddenly straightened: "What? The Son of Heaven is coming over?"
At first, the voice was loud, and he immediately lowered his voice after speaking.
When the porter took the money, he said, "That is, it has spread all over the city, first there were eunuchs going up the mountain, and then there was such a big movement." ”
"I heard that the saint sent someone to invite the immortals, but the immortals thought that the saints were not sincere and avoided it. ”
So this time, the Holy One himself came. ”
The merchant was immediately excited: "Thank you, thank you, I'll have a little more time now." ”
"Being able to see both the Son of Heaven and the Immortals is a blessing that cannot be cultivated in several lifetimes. ”
—————————-
At this moment, outside the city of Yanding Mansion.
Thirty miles out of the city, Huangfu Yin of Yanding Mansion took the officials of the whole mansion to wait for the Son of Heaven here, and the Lingwu Daoist people were also among them, standing beside Huangfu Yin.
The sun gradually rises and the sun shines on the earth.
Many officials who were standing and waiting for the Son of Heaven to drive were so hot and sweating that they were all burned by the sun.
Yanding Mansion has a summer palace called Mansudae.
The palace is magnificent, and the Son of Heaven will come here every year in the middle of summer, and they will also go there to greet him.
But this time, the emperor directly avoided the palace and came directly towards the capital city.
This made Huangfu Yin at a loss, and he didn't know how to place the emperor, but the Son of Heaven had already ordered to come directly to Yanding Mansion City, and their courtiers could only come to greet them in a hurry.
The officials of the Yanding Mansion stood straight and stiff, dizzy from the sun, and at noon, someone rode in the distance.
"The saint is here, hurry up!"
Only then did all the officials cheer up, arrange their robes one by one, and wait for the battle.
At the end of the day, there was a guard of honor for the Son of Heaven, accompanied by the sound of bells and drums, and the sound of neat footsteps of thousands of troops and horses.
The crowd of chariots and horses stretched to the end of the sky, and the mighty army was like a tidal wave.
The Emperor was in the midst of the ten thousand.
It makes people feel that the heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars are revolving around it, so powerful, and it sets off the majesty of the Son of Heaven.
A thought can make the world chaotic, and a word can call a million soldiers.
The son of the sky, the lord of the Great Zhou.
In the face of such an impact, the officials were shocked and trembled, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly.
There is only one mountain cry left.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Before the Son of Heaven's car arrived, the hundred officials bowed and kowtowed, but in the end, only Huangfu Yin could come forward to meet the sage Son of Heaven.
When the car approached the Son of Heaven, he heard a violent cough.
After a long time, the emperor walked down with a pale face, followed by Si Tian Jian Zheng Tao Xian.
"Bow to your majesty!"
The Son of Heaven raised his hand, looking a little weak.
He felt more and more that his body was a little unbearable, and the so-called son of the heavens and the son of saints were just a mortal body in the flesh.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, suffering and misery, he can't avoid it.
Even if he is an emperor who claims to be able to control the life and death of people in the world.
In the end, he can only admit that he can't even control his own life and death.
Huang Fu Yin knelt on the ground, and the emperor hurriedly asked, "Are you ready?"
Huang Fuyin immediately replied, "It's ready." ”
The Son of Heaven nodded: "Then let's go!"
Huang Fu Yin was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, is it going to go up the mountain today?"
"According to the ritual process of the delivery, you must fast and bathe on the first day, and ...... on the second day."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
Before Huang Fu Yin finished speaking, the old emperor coughed a few times, and after a tiring meal, he was frightened again, and even taking the pill had no effect.
"No, I'm going to climb this immortal temple today!"
Huang Fu Yin hurriedly wanted to say something, but the Son of Heaven resolutely said: "Needless to say, the immortals in the dark have already arranged it. ”
"When will I come, how will I come? ”
"I'm just waiting for the gods to come on the mountain!"
As soon as the Son of Heaven stopped, he set off again with hundreds of civil and military officials.
didn't even enter the city, and ran directly to the Dengxian Temple.
At the foot of the mountain, the inner and outer three layers are all Great Zhou elite armorers.
In the distance, there are the people of Yanding Mansion, everyone knows that the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is coming, farmers and squires, merchants and peddlers, crowded in the distance, and more people are coming.
There were people everywhere outside the city, all to see the emperor and immortals.
And under the road leading to the gate of Dengxian Guanshan, the car of the Son of Heaven stopped.
The civil and military officials descended and knelt on the ground together, and all the soldiers outside also knelt down together.
Thousands of heads hung down, welcoming the Son of Heaven as he walked down.
The Son of Heaven wore a dragon robe and stepped out of the car.
At this moment, it was afternoon, and the clouds in the sky shone straight down, shining all the way down from the Dengxian Temple, and shining on the Son of Heaven and the civil and military officials.
The earth-shattering exclamation came from the people of Da Zhou, who were watching from a distance.
"It's really the Son of Heaven!"
"Saint, Son of Heaven!"
"Emperor! This is the emperor of our Great Zhou!"
"Hooray!"
"Long live my emperor!"
The vast but untidy mountains are overwhelming, and everything that is seen at the end of the sky is in his sincerity.
The emperor suddenly felt full of pride, and looked up at the Taoist temple on the mountain.
The mountain road is rugged, the Taoist temple is deep, and it is even more mysterious.
"This is the Ascending Immortal Temple!"
"The view of ascending immortals!Good name, good name!hahahaha!"
The Son of Heaven laughed heartily today, and his face was flushed, and he looked back at Tao Xian beside him.
"Tao Aiqing, do you think I can move the heavens and the immortals?"
Tao Xian arched his hand, and wanted to say compliments according to his habit, but when he saw the emperor's appearance, he opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't spit it out.
In the end, he could only sigh and shake his head.
"Well frogs can't talk about the sea! Summer insects can't talk about ice!"
"The minister is like the frog at the bottom of the well and the firefly of summer, how can he know the meaning of the sky. ”
The emperor's face turned red and said, "I am the true dragon son of heaven!
"I will definitely be able to move the heavens and the immortals, and I will be able to grant the elixir of immortality. ”
This seems to be an affirmation, as if it is unwilling to accept other statements.
In the eyes of the world, thousands of people bowed down.
The Son of Heaven stepped forward and walked towards the immortal temple.
The old emperor's eyes were full of longing and impatience.
In his eyes, the end of that staircase was more than just a Taoist temple.
It's all he desires but can't.
