It is said that Taoist Huangteng disappeared invisibly and sneaked out of the palace. He thought that the matter was secret, but also thought that the matter was important and might disturb the people's hearts, so he had to watch it carefully. So he pretended to be a mortal, picked up a load of firewood and walked for ten miles. When no one was around, he suddenly changed and returned to his original appearance, only to see:
Eguan stars in gold and silver clothes, Qiong wears a sun and moon shirt with a fat ring.
A sword of wisdom hangs a precious ear, and its fate is that heaven and man fall into the mortal world.
The yellow vine stepped on the flying clouds and traveled a hundred miles. When he saw the jade curtain approaching, he suddenly heard the evil wind blowing behind him and a person rushed towards him. He stopped in front of him and took a closer look, but he saw a corpse-offering shaman.
The two of them possess magical powers, and when they look at each other, they know the depth of Taoism and practice. Huang Teng saw that this man had a normal appearance and his eyes lacked the divine light. He knew he was not a great shaman, so he smiled and said, "Why are you blocking the road, fellow Taoist?"
The shaman said: "We have important matters today. Please invite the Imperial Master to come and see Empress Taixu."
Huang Teng said: "Evils bite people, how can they be called empresses?" He took out his sword and shot at it, but the shaman was unable to defeat him, so he turned around and ran away. Huang Teng wanted to catch him as evidence, so he immediately chased him on the clouds and chased him to a river. However, he saw the waves of the water surging, and his inspiration came to him, and he suddenly felt bad.
The shaman sneered and said: "The real person has fallen into the trap!" Then he recited a strange curse, causing the river waves to surge into the sky, which would rot if touched. He also took the left eye of the female corpse and beat it away. Huang Teng didn't know what it was, but when he took a look at it, he screamed and fell into the middle of the river. When the shaman fished it out, he saw that her body had turned into crystal jade, and her soul was sealed in it. She was so frightened that she cut off her head with a trembling sword, wrapped it back in the palace and handed it over to the female body.
The female corpse found the head of the yellow vine, broke it and ate it, and said with a smile: "It's done, you can take my place." Then he transformed the shaman into the shape of a yellow vine, sent him to the temple, and ordered him to write a book, saying it was The Holy Will came down to build a 100-foot-high platform to worship the heavens, called the "Taiwan of Immortality"; and also recruited thousands of boys and girls to offer sacrifices to the world. If the people had complaints, they would be severely punished during the restoration period, ranging from the cutting of palace ink to the burning of grains and cooking pots. There were loyal people in the court who risked their lives to remonstrate with them, and they all slaughtered the three barbarian tribes. The remaining bones were filled under the platform of immortality, and flowers and willows were planted. In three years, a forest grew into a forest. Every time Qingdu sent envoys to patrol, the shaman appeared with the appearance of yellow vines, praising King Li Kang for his holy virtues, which were rare in the past. He also had the help of a female corpse secretly, and he was deceived and deceived without realizing it.
For ten years like this, King Li Kang indulged in drinking and having fun all day long, and his body was weak. He called the female corpse and said: "I once heard that my wife is from the immortal country and can make elixirs for longevity. It has been ten years and I haven't seen a single elixir. I don't know when. become?"
The female corpse smiled and said, "This is an easy matter! There are many magic pills in my country, which can make you immortal if you eat them, but one day the sea tide surged and the country collapsed, and I lost my inheritance. Your Majesty can build a submersible dragon boat and enter the sea. Take medicine from the abyss."
King Li Kang could not understand his meaning. The female corpse summoned a craftsman to draw a strange object and ordered it to be built according to the picture. After the work was completed, the drill sergeant went to the east seaside and entered the abyss. He saw a strange light in the abyss, which was unfathomable. He wanted to find its source, but was blocked by the rapids of sea fire in the abyss and could not get closer.
The sergeant reported back to King Li Kang and asked about the woman's body. The female corpse said: "This is the Poseidon's obstruction."
King Li Kang was displeased and said, "Since I am a god, why do you want me to live forever?"
The female corpse told: "Your Majesty is a person destined by fate. His actions can shake the world, and his life span is also calculated, so he should not change it lightly. This god has been ordered by the Qingdu Taoist Sect to suppress overseas affairs, so he does not allow your Majesty to live forever."
King Li Kang suddenly said: "What a thief!" From then on, he no longer believed in Qingdu's orders. The female corpse took advantage of this and said: "Although this god has great power, he is transformed by the pure air and cannot touch the filth. I have a way to break it." Then he ordered the soldiers to dig up the soil under the platform of immortality. There were countless corpses and bones mixed in, and it was black and smelly. , very unusual. Thousands of pregnant women were recruited from the common people. When they were ready to give birth, they were forced to eat their babies alive. If they refused, their babies were crushed in front of their mothers. They were tortured and killed in every possible way. The broken flesh and bones were all buried in the soil and transported to the abyss of the sea. Fill it in. After a while, the strange light in the abyss faded away, and the sea water turned red like pus and blood. The soldiers took it and offered it to Li to fight against the king.
The female corpse said: "This is the spiritual spring flowing out of our country. If your Majesty drinks from it, you can live a thousand years."
King Li Kang drank it, and he felt that his body and mind were relaxed and his ears and eyes were clear. From then on, he began to believe in the female corpse and collected it in various ways, and also recruited many shamans for use. If there is anyone who rebels in anger, he will be attacked with military force and harmed with magic. The queen's persuasion failed, and she was thrown into death row. The prince was angry and launched an army. He was also cursed by a witch and was riddled with diseases. He died of pus and water. For sixty years like this, King Li Kang's appearance remained the same, but the world was desolate and the people were in dire straits.
In that year, Master Haoyang came to Hedao and came out of the death gate, hoping to teach Taoism to his first disciple, Taoist Bi Yao. Suddenly, on a whim, he pinched his fingers and counted, and he knew the whereabouts of Huang Teng. He called his disciples Bi Yao and Su You to see him, and told him: "Your junior brother Huang Teng is dead."
The two immortals were shocked and asked about the cause and effect. Haoyang Nai said: "This is a disaster from outside the world. Now that the catastrophe has happened, it may be difficult to save it. Go and investigate as soon as possible, and then restore your life."
Bi Yao and Su You were ordered to leave and flew to the Tianshi Temple overnight. The shaman dressed up as a yellow vine and was sleeping when a boy suddenly came to report that the Qingdu envoy had arrived. Surprised, he came out to greet him, pretending to smile and said, "Brother and sister, what are you doing here?"
Since the two immortals received Haoyang's guidance, they knew that the yellow vine was already harmful, but when they saw that the shaman's voice and appearance were lifelike and his expression was as usual, with no flaws, they could not help but be suspicious. Bi Yao tried it with words, and the shaman, with the help of the female corpse, was able to answer each other, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, we talk a lot today! It's rare for you and me to see each other, how can we just talk about old things." Bi Yao stopped asking.
Su You here saw him, but he was more knowledgeable than Bi Yao. He noticed that the fake yellow teng was wearing clothes, the jade belt was tied backwards, and the e-crown was hung wrongly, so he guessed that he was not from China. Pretending and smiling, he suddenly said: "Junior brother, do you know the Witch King Xue Li?"
The shaman didn't want her to suddenly say these words, with a hidden ghost in her heart and a look of shock in her eyes. Su You knew its origin and shouted, "How dare you, a heretic!" He took the Qianqiu slips to protect himself and covered the fake yellow vine.
The shaman wanted to use magic to resist, but Bi Yao said, "It's just the mountains and rivers. Why bother?" He sacrificed himself to the green jade hill, and was good at facing the wind. He pinned the shaman at the foot of the peak and transformed his cultivation. Exactly:
Ben got into great trouble due to his greed for personal gain, and it was even worse to pretend to be a ghost.
It's a pity that the mountains and rivers are originally in this line. From now on, we will be in a dilemma.
The two immortals took in the shaman and were about to go to the palace to interrogate King Li, but they saw the cold fog in the city and the evil atmosphere filling the sky. A woman came to meet her. She was dressed in expensive palace decorations and looked extremely beautiful. She said, "You two gentlemen, please stay here."
When the two immortals saw him, they knew he was an extraordinary person and asked, "Who is this holy fellow Taoist?"
The woman smiled and said: "I am Taixu, the witch ancestor. Now I want to use the souls of two immortals to survive in this world." Then she looked at the two immortals with her eyes. Suyou's Taoist roots were slightly shallow, and he immediately turned into crystal jade. Bi Yao hurriedly cut off her feet and called out: "Go back and report to Master quickly!" He summoned the wind and clouds and lightning to send Taoist Suyou out of the city. He tried to use Yushan to suppress the female corpse, but he had already fallen into his trap and her soul was fossilized. , broken body and harmed.
With the help of his senior brother, Taoist Suyou rushed to the Cangxun Palace, knocked on the door and cried loudly. The boy in front of the cave was horrified when he saw it, and hurriedly told Haoyang: "Uncle Su You has returned! Both feet are broken, and I don't know why." He carried Su You to Haoyang's throne and explained the whole story in detail.
Haoyang was silent when he heard this, and Su You said: "Senior brother, how can we just sit back and watch when misfortune has happened to us? Master, please summon all my fellow disciples to go to the shaman clan to investigate the crime." He asked again and again, but Haoyang didn't respond, and kowtowed to bleed. Haoyang Fang said : "Do you know the Kingdom of the Immortal?"
Su You replied: "I have never heard of it, so I would like to ask for advice."
Haoyang told: "In the past, there was a man who lived in the water, looked down at the Nine Netherworlds, and had a glimpse of the principles of the soul's changes. He passed it down to the nine tribes, and named himself Nuo Wu. His ancestor was named Taixu Sanren, and he was in the same row as my master Qianyuan. Later, he Go out to the sea to find an isolated island and build an immortal kingdom. There are thirty-six crystal pillars in the middle of the country, which are bright day and night. Its people come back to life from the dead, and the resurrection of the dead is actually the magic of the soul. The country has been dead for a long time, and now it reappears, which is a great disaster. It’s a sign that a demon will be born.”
Su You couldn't understand what he meant, so Haoyang ordered him to come out, but he summoned him again. Su You looked at his face again, and saw that Haoyang's face was as white as paper, and his divine light was hidden. His Taoism had been eliminated for a hundred years, and he was shocked and said, "Master, why is this like this?"
Master Haoyang said: "We are about to undergo a great calamity now, and we will extend the period of union." Fang summoned the remaining immortals to gather in the palace and issued a decree saying: "The Li Dynasty was originally the master of destiny. It has been passed down for eight hundred years, but now it is exhausted. I watch the stars in the sky. It was moved and landed in Binshan. It is expected that the Wei family will take over the throne. Please wait and help." But he did not mention the rebellion caused by the ancestor Wu. The immortals followed their orders and left. Haoyang called the boy again and said, "Go to Bingji Cave, take the jade mallet in front of the cave, knock on the cave door ten times, and call your Master Heyue out of the cave."
At that time, Heyue was ordered by Qianyuan to cultivate in secret, and Bingji Cave was closed for thousands of years, and none of the twelve true immortals were seen. The boy followed the instructions and went to the cave, took a mallet and knocked it. Suddenly, the door of the cave opened and a woman walked out. But saw her:
Jade is the muscle and bone, the moon is the god, and the breeze polishes the beads on the clothes.
The clouds on the temples look like black crane feathers, and the red clothes are like red plum blossoms.
A spiritual lamp hangs on the waist, and a black-inked sword hangs beside it.
She is suspected to be the daughter of a noble family, but she is actually a concubine from Lingxiao.
