There were only two finished elixirs. In order to repay the kindness of Emperor Taizong, Yuan Tiangang tried the elixir on his own body. Although he achieved immortality, he was covered in ulcers and had no human shape. The yin and yang qi in his body were out of balance. He needed to take yin and yang for a long time before he could survive. The body does not continue to fester.
How could Emperor Taizong, a saintly and virtuous king, rule the world with an appearance of neither man nor ghost? He finally refused to take medicine. In order to prevent himself from being too old and comatose to resist the temptation, and also to prevent future generations from coveting him, he ordered Yuan Tiangang to destroy the rest of the world. The elixir of death.
Yuan Tiangang saw that his appearance was completely ruined and he no longer looked like a human being or a ghost like a ghost. He had no face to hold the position of Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty anymore, so he resigned and went into seclusion.
However, Taizong refused, saying that you have worked hard for many years and this is my fault. How can I abandon you because of your appearance?
Yuan Tiangang burst into tears with gratitude, but he still resigned from the position of Imperial Preceptor, saying that his appearance was completely ruined. If he continued to be the Imperial Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty, it would harm the dignity of the Tang Dynasty. He was willing to live in seclusion behind the scenes and serve the Tang Dynasty.
Taizong sternly refused, but could not withstand Yuan Tiangang's pleading, so he had to grant Yuan Tiangang's wish, take the bad people in his private organization into the royal family, and appoint Yuan Tiangang as the bad commander to serve exclusively for the royal family.
After resigning as a national master and living in seclusion behind the scenes, Yuan Tiangang still did not give up his research on the elixir. He improved the prescription many times, and even used the broken bronze cauldron in the Shennong Valley as a furnace to try to refine the perfect elixir. However, in three years, Time passed, but it failed to do so. Even the previously defective elixir could not be refined again. It was as if the two refined elixirs were just a coincidence that could not be imitated.
Although Yuan Tiangang has become less human and less ghostly, he has achieved immortality after all. He has plenty of time to try and make mistakes, and one day he will be able to refine the perfect elixir, but time is ruthless.
On the 26th of May in the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong died in the Hanfeng Hall of Cuiwei Palace in Zhongnan Mountain.
After Yuan Tiangang got drunk, he burst into tears and cried like a child. He regretted that he was incompetent and could not make a saintly and virtuous emperor like Emperor Taizong live forever, but he lingered with a broken body.
From then on, Yuan Tiangang took the bad guys and completely secluded himself behind the scenes, serving only the emperor.
He wants to go against heaven and change the ending of the Tang Dynasty's demise that he and his friend Li Chunfeng deduced.
Li Chunfeng tried to dissuade him many times to no avail, so he had no choice but to make a divination, hoping to deduce the ending of his friend as a warning.
On a whim, he used the broken bronze tripod brought from the Shennong Valley as a trigger for the hexagram. Thousands of causes and effects eventually converged on one point. Only one branch line produced a variable, and he headed towards another result without hesitation.
Li Chunfeng happily came to find Yuan Tiangang, but he expected that Yuan Tiangang would find nothing. He came in good spirits and returned disappointed.
Therefore, Li Chunfeng had to accept the fact that those who go against the will will ultimately see too short-term and know too little!
Therefore, Li Chunfeng began to make plans on his own in order to expand the variables so that both his friends and Datang could have a good ending.
In the following time, Li Chunfeng continued to deduce the layout.
A cup of tea and a sword were left at the Bingying Tomb to relieve Jiang Yunqing's knot.
He also smelted the bronze tripod in the Shennong Valley, imitated the pattern of the Shennong Valley, and established the Sui Suigu in Twelve Cave in Raojiang to complete the Shennong tripod for Jiang Yunqing.
······
After digesting the information recorded in the blue-threaded book, Jiang Yunqing sat in the stone room and remained silent for a long time.
He raised his hand to cover his heart, feeling the rhythmic beating there. He looked inside and saw the figure entrenched in the chest, beating like a heart, rising and contracting in a rhythmic manner. The inscription that is larger than the other inscriptions is particularly conspicuous.
"Shen Nong Ding, is this your name?"
Jiang Yunqing murmured softly. He had always known that the cauldron in his body had an extraordinary origin, but he didn't expect it to be such a magical weapon.
By the way, is it reasonable for Shennong Ding to appear in this world?
You must know that although this world is different from the history of his previous life. People in the world can practice martial arts and Qi, but even the masters of the great heaven are unable to defeat thousands of troops. In terms of the layering in the previous life, in the end Just in the low martial arts category.
But what is Shennong Ding? An artifact that only exists in myths and legends, this is cultivating immortality!
The moment the Shennong Cauldron was completed, the majestic vitality that spilled out into the world was not the power that this world should have.
Although the Shennong Jue he practiced is indeed an unknown ancient method widely circulated in countless medical scriptures, it has an additional general outline that was rubbed from the Shennong Cauldron. Yuan Tiangang's recipe for refining the elixir was indeed derived from Shen Nong Jue.
It’s no wonder that other techniques he practiced were not as consistent as Shennong Jue. He originally thought that Shennong Jue was just because its attributes were too neutral and peaceful, but he didn’t expect that it was because its general outline originally came from Shennong Tripod.
It's no wonder that he felt that his practice was strange before. It always felt like he was practicing martial arts, more like cultivating immortality.
Unexpectedly, it’s true!
Forget it, it’s useless to say more.
It's not just the Shennong Cauldron that's unreasonable. The elixir that Yuan Tiangang has made isn't necessarily reasonable either.
Holding the book bound with blue leather thread, Jiang Yunqing patted it and stood up. No matter if it was unreasonable or not, Shennong Ding had been integrated with him anyway. He could do whatever he wanted in this world based on his heart.
Walking straight out of the stone room, I looked up at the sky. The sun was setting in the west, and the fire clouds on the horizon reflected the sun's afterglow, which was bright and golden.
Looking down at the blue leather-bound book in his hand, Jiang Yunqing murmured: "Thank you for the gift, the old magic stick who is restless even after death!"
Immediately, Jiang Yunqing threw the blue leather-bound book in his hand back into the stone room without looking back.
The next moment, endless wind gangs surged up and surrounded the entire stone chamber. The indestructible wind gangs criss-crossed through it. In just a moment, the wind gangs dispersed.
But at this moment, there was no stone chamber behind Jiang Yunqing, but only a "fresh" pile of rocks.
The truth here belongs to him alone. Since he has been here, seen it, and knows the truth, there is no need for this place to continue to exist.
He didn't believe that anyone who was destined to come here and find the truth would only be someone with a heart.
"Let's go, Li Chunfeng!"
Arriving at the edge of the cliff, Jiang Yunqing suddenly shouted loudly.
Then, he jumped up, turned Feng Xu Yufeng, walked in the air, left the mountain in the valley, shuttled through the dense forest full of towering ancient trees, and headed out of the valley.
And on that "fresh" chaotic hillock, among the dim light and shadow, there seemed to be an illusory man in white clothes and white hair. He rested his head on his hands, lying on the pile of stones, quietly watching the figure gradually go away. , his lips moved slightly, as if to say: "Bon voyage!"
Jiang Yunqing's figure in the distance fell on a leaf of an ancient tree and suddenly stopped. There seemed to be some sound. He turned around and looked towards the mountain in the valley. He saw only an empty rocky hill. He immediately thought that he had heard it wrong. , turned around and continued heading out of the valley!
ps: Filling in the gaps, to be honest it’s a bit difficult to write.
