Volume 1 Red Immortal Gate Chapter 1 Preface
Since the era of the flood and famine, since the avenue of heaven and earth descended on the ten directions, a group of supernatural powers who shocked the universe have emerged, and during the period when the countries have been killed, the people of the world are regarded as dogs, and the supernatural powers are changing with each passing day.
In the case of endless wars in various countries, there are many supernatural people who aim to calm the war in the world and save the people of the ten directions from fire and water, or go to the countries to turn the war into the way of the saints, or study the heavens, earth and stars to seek the law of salvation, or establish a religion and establish a door to spread the law in the world, but they cannot stop the continuous war.
More supernatural people are happy to fish and flesh people, and there are many demons and evil laws, and there are even more people who eat people's flesh and blood. 50,000 years ago, Zhu Yuanxin, the emperor of Hongwu Kingdom, realized that the avenue of heaven and earth had entered the Taoist realm, and the exercises were invincible in the world, and it was also to enlighten the people's wisdom, sweep away the evil spirits, and rejuvenate the people's livelihood. The self-proclaimed Demon Heavenly Monarch conquered the countries after more than 300 years, swept through the ten directions and opened up the Hongwu Yuan Dynasty.
In the 3,200 years of Hongwu, the Demon Heavenly Monarch promulgated the "Law" to manage all the supernatural powers in the world, and slowly some supernatural people sensed the disappearance of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and the supernatural people in the world were afraid that the "Rules" could not sense the Heavenly Dao, and the supernatural powers headed by the head of the one hundred and eight sects killed the Demon Heavenly Monarch in the Hongwu Hall on the grounds of signing the law.
One hundred and eight sects are afraid that the second Demon Heavenly Monarch will appear, so they will open up the Heavenly Heavens with their supernatural powers. Divide the Hongwu Kingdom into three hundred and twenty-four countries. Each faction unifies its three kingdoms, and lays down the Heaven and Earth Formation to attract the spiritual power of the ten directions to nourish the heavens. Since then, the Dao system of the Ten Directions Continent has collapsed, and one hundred and eight sects have dominated the human emperor Sheji. The Ten Directions are no longer allowed to spread the Dao system, and the various sects have destroyed the cultivation exercises and cultivation relics in the human world. If you want to cultivate immortals and become enlightened in the world, you can only go to the sect to which Shangyaotian belongs.
However, the supernatural powers govern the countries of the ten directions, and the benefits are more important than the harvest, and under the management of some sects, the people do not have enough to eat, or they are sick and accumulated. So far, the wisdom of the people has faded, and the people respect the sect like heaven and earth. The Imperial Power Society is no longer like in the past, and changing the emperor is just a sentence from the Shangyao Sect. Those who don't listen to the greeting are directly killed. The creatures of the people of the ten directions are like birds in a cage, and they can't help themselves. At this point, we have entered the era of the end of the law.
At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, there is a plaque of black gold silk nanmu, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with three big characters 'Prince's Mansion'
In the garden of the Prince's Mansion, a young man dressed in a white coat with thin eyes and willow eyebrows and a little fat man wearing a vest with a reluctant expression were discussing something.
The little fat man said to the young man in white: "Brother Huang, don't you think about it anymore? It's not like it is now. ”
The young man in white put down the handkerchief fan in his hand, and said with a resolute face: "On the way to visit the countries that day, I saw what Dingkang Guoshi did, I couldn't calm down for a long time, I only felt that what I sought and learned was just a small way, and I didn't care about the position of the prince, Ming Yanguo has not been worshiped in Shangyao Xianmen for more than two hundred years, and when I have cultivated the fairy road, I will come back to see my father, queen mother, and you, and Ruoxi sister, my father is old, but I will pass on the throne to you in a few years, you must work hard to seek the well-being of the people of my Ming Yan country."
The little fat man buried his head, "Hey, brother, I will work hard, but I'm afraid everyone will be reluctant to you." ”
The conversation was between Peng Fei, the crown prince of Ming Yanguo, and his brother Peng Hao.
And Peng Fei mentioned that the matter of Dingkang Country was that he once visited the countries with talented people from all over the Ming and Yan countries to enjoy flowers and poetry, due to the natural disasters in Dingkang Country every year, the people were not clothed and hungry. Emperor Kangguo couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he took out part of the annual tribute to help the victims. However, because Dingkang Guoshi could not complete the annual tribute required by the door-to-door explanation, he killed the Emperor Dingkang on the spot without waiting for the Dingkang Emperor to explain, and even because he was angry that there were too many victims, he directly used his magical powers to kill most of the victims. He also transmitted a voice between heaven and earth: "Since you can't eat enough, it's better to kill some of them and let the rest be full." After this incident, Peng Fei often had nightmares, dreaming that he had become Emperor Dingkang who was in a different place without waiting for an explanation.
Since then, the prince Peng Fei, who was regarded as a poet and immortal by Shu Yanguo, is gone. Only the one who is respectful to the national teacher, and wants to worship Peng Fei in front of the saddle in front of the national teacher, Ming Yan is not the same vicious person as the national teacher of Dingkang, the national teacher also appreciates Peng Fei's shrewdness and talent, after the completion of the annual tribute last year, when the national teacher was drunk at the banquet, Peng Fei boldly asked again and again, and the national teacher Luo Tudao people also fulfilled Peng Fei's heart of seeking Taoism, and agreed to accept Peng Fei as a registered disciple.
Shu Yanguo, the imperial study.
Emperor Ming Yanguo looked worried, stared at Peng Fei and asked, "Asking for immortals is like climbing a cliff, if you don't live, you will die, do you really plan it?"
Peng Fei's eyes were full of light, and he said with a firm expression: "Erchen has been thinking about it for a long time, although the immortal road is difficult, but it is also the desire of Erchen, Father I know that you are dedicated to the people, but you are also at the mercy of others, and now you have broken the situation." Erchen knows what's at stake. ”
Emperor Ming Yanguo turned to look at the full moon in the night sky outside the study window and thought deeply: "There is no time limit for cultivating immortals, but you should remember that you should not rush for quick success in everything, and it is safest to come slowly." It doesn't hurt if it doesn't work. ”
"Erchen knows, father rest assured," Peng Fei looked at his father's back and said.
"You can't tell others what you and I talked about today, just be a simple person who asks for immortals, you wait, you have been busy with the court. Wait until I summon your mother and your brother, and you will have a good life."
Emperor Ming Yan once again told his son that after he entered the Chixian Gate, he would not be the crown prince, Shangyao was not like Shifang, and he should not show his cleverness too much, so as not to cause trouble by making people unhappy.
In fact, when the prince wrote to inform the prince about the transposition, the old emperor disagreed very much in his heart, firstly, because his prince was shrewd and capable, and he also wanted to be able to achieve Zhongxing under the hidden trend of Zhongxing after the prince ascended the throne.
The second is that others don't know, but as an emperor, he knows best, although the world is the most ruthless emperor, but it is these sects that are more ruthless than the emperor. But knowing that his son has other ambitions, he is no longer the prince of Yuming Yanguo who can only appreciate flowers and poetry, and the national teacher also intends to take Fei'er as an apprentice. Even if you are reluctant, you can only agree to this matter. I only told my son a few words, and at the same time, I also hoped that my son could achieve something in the future, realize his ambitions, and not be a royal child who is controlled by others.
After the two finished talking, Emperor Ming Yanguo ordered a banquet to be set up in the study of the imperial dining house, and called the queen and the new prince Peng Hao and a few county kings who were not yet adults and had a good relationship with Peng Fei to get closer to him, a son who was ambitious and did not covet the imperial power of the world, before leaving.
At this time, there were still two years before the new national teacher took up the throne of the old emperor. Peng Fei was seventeen years old at this time.
Two years have passed in a hurry, and after tomorrow will be the enthronement ceremony of the old emperor Chan Rang and the new crown prince. At the same time, it was also the day when Peng Fei and the national teacher Luo Tudao people left Mingyan for Chixian Gate, at this time, the capital was full of lights, pedestrians were bustling, and it was filled with a different ordinary atmosphere. Officials from all over the county, as well as people from all walks of life, came to the capital. All came to witness this rare festive day in the country.
The key is that the Chixian Sect has not accepted any disciples in the Shuyan Kingdom for more than two hundred years. Just because compared with other countries, the Ming Yan Kingdom is poor and sparsely populated, and there are indeed few talented people, and only the former prince Peng Fei can be accepted as a registered disciple by the national teacher Luo Tudaoren.
The ceremony process has already been posted inside and outside the imperial city, and many people are stopping to watch the content of the posted ceremony process.
The red festive process says that the first item is the handover of the current national teacher of the Chixian Gate to the new national teacher, and the new national teacher will bless the old emperor who is about to give up.
The second item is that Luo Tudao and Peng Fei went to Shangyao's Chixian Gate with gifts.
The third is the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor.
On the bustling streets of the imperial city, I saw a group of officers and soldiers pressing this year's annual tribute and carrying gifts from all over the country into the inner city.
In the early morning of the second day, all the personnel of the palace and officials from all over the world burned incense in front of the Xuanwu Hall in the morning, and when Luo Tudao people lit the incense in their hands and inserted the four-legged incense burner in the middle, they saw a glow coming from the clouds, and there were several cranes chirping in the sky. From the glow of the sun, three Taoists dressed in red robes with the logo of the Red Immortal Gate came up. The logo of the Upper Heavenly Red Immortal Gate is a sun totem with the mark of a vermilion bird with wings spread.
The three Taoists landed on the viewing platform in front of the Xuanwu Hall with the glow. The old emperor Peng Yu first played to explain the situation of this Jiazi under his rule, and at the same time praised the merits of the Red Immortal Gate. Then the Prime Minister presented the gift book. When the old emperor Peng Yu finished playing, the new national teacher wearing the national teacher's uniform on the side took out a bottle of pill from his arms and handed it to the old emperor Peng Yu. And this bottle of elixir is the so-called blessing. Mortals who take the pill can prolong their life, and it is no problem to live for a few more decades, but in Shangyaotian, this bottle of pill is just a bottle of Spiritual Enhancement Pill that ordinary disciples can receive every month.
A Taoist with a wrinkled face said to another young Taoist who was wearing a goatee and wearing a national teacher's uniform: "Senior Brother Qingshui, Senior Brother Luo Zheng and I will send you to take office here, you quickly go and hand over the palm print of the National Teacher to Senior Brother Luo Tu to take over as the National Teacher." ”
And the Taoist known as Luo Zheng closed his eyes, as if he was sleepwalking in the fairy land.
After the new and old national teachers handed over the national teacher seal, the squinting Luo Zhengdao came to Luo Tudao and Peng Fei, looked at the New Year's tribute and gifts on the square, stared at Peng Fei and said: "Senior brother, this is the registered disciple you received! It looks handsome, but it is full of fox feeling, but it is good that the senior brother can receive a disciple in the poor mountains and bad waters of Ming Yanguo, but I don't know what the qualifications are? Although Luo Zhengdao called Luo Tudao Senior Brother on his lips, it was not difficult to hear that he had a contemptuous tone and tone. They are all national teachers, Qi Guo and Ming Yanguo are not comparable, but when looking at Peng Fei, Peng Fei squinted and smiled at Luo Zhengdao with a respectful attitude. Peng Fei's respect made Luo Zhengdao have a little more affection for this young man named Peng Fei.
Although the national teacher is good, it is not as good as being in the Red Immortal Gate. There is a lack of spiritual energy for cultivation here. Moreover, it is necessary to complete the tribute amount assigned by the sect, and the Shuyan Kingdom is only the most remote country among the three kingdoms under the Chixian Sect. Luo Zhengdao took out a gourd magic weapon from his waist. swept the square, and collected all the gold, silver, soft and precious medicinal materials into the gourd. This time, the annual tribute of Ming Yanguo is much more than in the past. The old emperor Peng Yu thought that since Peng Fei was able to worship the Red Immortal Gate, he couldn't look shabby in front of others when Luo Tudao and Peng Fei left. This year's tribute gift is also equivalent to half of the income of the entire Shuyan Kingdom this year. Luo Zhengdao casually looked at the gift list and threw it into the gourd. After that, the emperor brought hundreds of officials to offer tea to the four immortal masters who came, and sent Luo Tudao and his party to Shangyao Tianchi Immortal Gate.
Xiaodao and Luo Zhengdao stepped on the crane, and one took out the gourd from his sleeve and flew towards the sky, Luo Tudao did not have a magic weapon to mount, so he could only wave his robe and fly Peng Fei to the sky, Peng Fei only felt a stream of air rolling himself and flying towards the sky. I thought that I would be so chic in the future. When Peng Fei adapted to this technique of controlling the sky and was about to look back, he found that the imperial city had already become a small dot in the distance. You can only see fireworks rising into the sky in the distance. I thought it was time to start the ceremony of the new emperor's enthronement.
Flying all the way, Peng Fei felt that after flying for almost a few hours, he felt that his legs were a little weak, and he saw a towering green mountain surrounded by fog, but his ears were buzzing when he passed through the thin rain and mist in front of the mountain, and when he came back to his senses, he only found that he and Luo Tudao people had come to a mountain gate. The mountain gate is simple, and the big door plaque is engraved with three big characters "Red Immortal Gate".
The so-called willow eyebrows look at the mountains with careful eyes, and the dream of fairy heroes at the beginning of the youth is moving.
