Xianjing.
Shangyang Palace.
Early morning.
Long live the three.
Taishi Emperor's eyes were red, and he glanced at the ministers in the palace, his aura exploding like a volcano.
"More than thirty years have passed and we still haven't found Kunlun Mountain. What use do I have for you?"
"I am waiting for death!"
The ministers knelt down and could not help but tremble as they felt the power of the mountain pressing down on them.
Emperor Taishi searched for Buddhist and Taoist spiritual things to refine elixirs and take them. The royal meals on daily basis were soups made from centuries-old ginseng and multiflorum. It can be said that the essence of Yunzhou was gathered together and condensed into blood elixirs in just ten years.
Raise your hands like wind, shout like thunder.
"If I miss my path to immortality, even if I die ten thousand times, it won't be enough!"
Emperor Taishi looked at one of them, his face slightly brightened: "Liu Aiqing, how is the compilation of Xiu Xian Hua Ben?"
"I gathered all my colleagues in the Hanlin Academy and stayed up late to write twelve volumes of the new version of the story. All of them are excellent. I sent them to Kunlun Palace after the end of the dynasty."
Liu Hanlin said flatteringly: "Newspeak is a labor of love. I guarantee with my head on my neck that Your Majesty will be satisfied!"
"very good."
When Emperor Taishi heard this, the burning passion in his heart was slightly extinguished: "All my dear friends, please live in peace."
As soon as the officials stood up, a censor came out and said.
"Your Majesty, I have reported that Liu Yi of the Hanlin Academy enriched his own pockets by compiling scripts, and embezzled 137,000 taels of silver. There is solid evidence!"
Liu Yi's face was pale. His foundation was shallow and he was promoted by His Majesty only because he could write scripts. He was thinking about how to make excuses.
"There is such a thing, but I can't just believe it. I'll let the Internal Affairs Department investigate the case thoroughly."
Emperor Taishi covered up the matter with one sentence, waved his hand to stop the censor from continuing to speak, and looked at Zhenren Xu: "Has Zhenren been able to refine elixirs recently?"
"Your Majesty, the elixir has been exhausted for several months. It's hard for me to make a meal without rice!"
Before Xu Zhenren finished speaking, he felt cold and murderous intent lingering around him, and he quickly said what he had prepared: "I wish I could make elixirs for Your Majesty. I was so anxious that I read the classics and finally got a clue."
Taishi Emperor nodded slightly: "Say."
"I learned from the classics that there are fairy islands in the sea."
Xu Zhenren said: "I am willing to lead the navy to cross the deep sea eastward. There are countless fairy islands in the East China Sea. I will definitely be able to find the elixir and refine it into a life-extending elixir!"
"allow."
Emperor Taishi did not trust Xu Zhenren, but he learned from the Kunlun Mountain Library that the Earth Fire Palace, the predecessor of Baiyunguan, came from the East China Sea. He ordered: "Order the navy to build a hundred large ships, divide the troops into three groups, and go into the East China Sea to find Miraculous medicine!”
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue came out to persuade and said: "This is a waste of people and money. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"I tossed and turned, thinking about everything, but why not think twice?"
Emperor Taishi said quietly: "There really is Kunlun in this world. I am a disciple of Kunlun. I want to cultivate immortality and live forever!"
When leaving Kunlun Mountain, Emperor Taishi did not hesitate, thinking that imperial power was more attractive. However, as he grew older, death approached step by step, and nothing in the world could compare to immortality.
When the officials in the palace heard this, their expressions changed.
Liu Yi and Xu Zhenren had just escaped death and quickly echoed: "Your Majesty is blessed with great luck and will surely live forever!"
The loyal ministers who were still loyal fell to the ground and admonished: "Your Majesty, immortality is a lie. Don't let the traitors take advantage of you!"
The prince who was observing the government lowered his head and did not dare to speak. He wanted to persuade but did not dare. He only had one thought in his mind.
My dad is crazy!
This is also what everyone thinks. Whether loyal or treacherous, they all think that Emperor Taishi was obsessed with immortality and had reached the point of madness. There is no such thing as Kunlun Mountain or immortality in the world. These are all your majesty’s crazy imagination!
At this time.
The sound of footsteps was heard outside the hall, and Liu Jin was so excited that he even rolled over and shouted without greeting when he came in.
"Your Majesty, there is someone who claims to be a disciple of the Kunlun Sword Sect and has swept away all the masters in the capital. I have seen with my own eyes that the swordsman can fly!"
Emperor Taishi stood up from the dragon chair in a hurry, and asked Liu Jin regardless of his misconduct.
"Where is the swordsman now?"
"Your Majesty, I led the Qianjin Guards to round him up. Unexpectedly, the swordsman disappeared with a hiss, and when I saw him, he had already flown up the city wall."
Liu Jin's narration was vivid: "When I saw this scene, I didn't know that the swordsman had real skills. I quickly shouted that Your Majesty is a disciple of Kunlun. I just left the swordsman behind. Now I am waiting for Your Majesty's summons outside the palace!"
"Quick announcement."
Emperor Taishi sat down and then stood up and said, "Go to Kunlun Palace!"
Kunlun Palace
Located in the southwest corner of the palace, all the original ten palaces were bulldozed, leaving more than 300 feet of space.
Emperor Taishi described Kunlun Wonderland according to his memory, and the painter painted it into a scroll, and spared no effort in manpower and material resources to restore it one-to-one.
In the Kunlun Palace, there is a purple courtyard column several feet high, inlaid with jasper leaves. In front of it are acres of spiritual fields, where the elixirs grown are all carved and inlaid with gold, silver, and jade. Behind them are ancient trees, Taoist temples, and pavilions.
Since the day it was built, it has been a permanent residence in Kunlun Palace.
Taishi Emperor paced back and forth outside the Taoist temple, urging him several times, and finally got to see the swordsman.
"Lin Fan, a disciple of the Kunlun Sword Sect, pays homage to the Emperor of Qing."
Lin Fan bowed slightly as a salute. There was no emperor or royal family in the Sword Forging City where he lived. Apart from selling himself as a slave, there was never a ceremony of kneeling down.
Emperor Taishi looked at Lin Fan carefully and faintly sensed the aura of the same origin. He smiled and said, "Sit down and talk."
The two of them sat under the grape vines, and a waiter immediately brought them rice. The grains of rice were crystal clear like beads, and the fragrance came to their faces.
"Lingmi?"
Lin Fan was pleasantly surprised at first, and then looked disappointed after sensing carefully. There was no spiritual energy fluctuation in the rice grains in the bowl, but they looked and tasted similar.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin is indeed from Kunlun Mountain."
Emperor Taishi was overjoyed. He had been asking for help in every possible way for many years, but he never thought that someone would come to his door. He pointed at the surrounding scenery and said, "Do you recognize this scene?"
Lin Fan looked around, shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before."
Emperor Taishi frowned slightly: "Since you are practicing in Kunlun, how could you not have seen the beautiful scenery of Kunlun?"
Lin Fan said: "I have never been to Kunlun Mountain, but the immortal who taught me swordsmanship was a Kunlun Qi Master. It is inconvenient to disclose the name of the immortal. He left after ten years of teaching."
"I see."
Emperor Taishi was envious but also disappointed. He could not find any trace of Kunlun through Lin Fan.
Lin Fan said shamelessly: "My talent is ordinary, I'm just a registered disciple."
"No wonder Fellow Daoist Lin failed to enter the Kunlun Mountains to practice cultivation. I became my disciple as my true disciple back then. According to the rules, you should call me senior brother."
How could Emperor Taishi consider himself inferior, cover up his envy, and add a layer of status to himself?
Lin Fan was overjoyed. He had not been able to join the Kunlun Mountains at first, but now he was serious about calling his disciple a senior brother. It was equivalent to having an identity, so he handed him over immediately.
"Greetings, senior brother!"
"Okay, okay, I won't come home until you and I are drunk today!"
Taishi Emperor ordered people to go to the imperial banquet, and then told Lin Fan about his experience in Kunlun Mountain. Except for the apprenticeship, everything was true. He also added many dreams and conjectures, making it more and more lofty, vast and fairy-like.
"It turns out that Kunlun Mountain is such a fairyland."
Lin Fan looked envious, but it was a pity that he could not see it with his own eyes, so he told Taishi Emperor about the immortal's character and preferences.
This happened to be the part that Emperor Taishi didn't know. Back then, Zhou Yi was so high that even as a prince, he had to be careful and not dare to go beyond the rules.
The two people talked more and more speculatively, and after combining with each other, they had a clear understanding of Kunlun Mountain and the immortals.
Until Emperor Taishi talked about the Kunlun Mountain Library and saw Xuan Xiao's life, he learned that Buddhism and Taoism had slandered the Taoist king.
"I promised the Immortal that I would clear the grievances for the Tao Lord. Now there is no apocryphal book in Yunzhou. The Qing Kingdom only needs to last three to five hundred years to wash away the grievances of the Dao Lord and become a sage of the Tao Sect!"
"Daojun Xuanxiao was actually slandered by the devil..."
Lin Fan was no longer a novice at this time. After he went out to provoke the sword-making hall, in order to prevent his sister's family from being bullied, he defeated all the masters in Lingjian City with one sword.
Only then did we know that the powerful master of the Sword Forging Hall in Qingzhou was only in the Condensing Aperture realm.
How could Ordinary Ningqiao compare with Lin Fan? He was born with a sword body, took spiritual rice to make his energy and blood rich, and also practiced the Immortal Sword Technique. He could defeat him in a fight with three sword strikes.
Afterwards, the misunderstanding was naturally solved, and Lin Fan became the sword master of Lingjian City. When he read the books of the Sword Forging Hall, he naturally came across the matter about Xuan Xiao.
"Brother, I know what to do next!"
"Um?"
Taishi Emperor had a clear mind and said: "Do you need my help? All the 100,000 Daqing cavalry in the small country of Qingzhou will be wiped out!"
Lin Fan shook his head and said: "Such a killing is too heavy. Qingzhou respects the sword, so I will defeat everyone with my sword and reveal the truth of the past."
Taishi Emperor pondered for a moment, and then spoke sincerely.
"Junior brother, if the immortals look for you again in the future, please say a kind word for your senior brother. In the future, senior brother will return to Kunlun and step into the Immortal Path of Immortality, and you will never forget your great kindness!"
Lin Fan frowned. Ever since he came to Qing Kingdom, he had been hearing people talking about the emperor going crazy.
"Junior brother, I'm not crazy!"
Emperor Taishi needed a similar person to understand him, and solemnly said: "Junior brother should know that there really is Kunlun Mountain in the world!"
Lin Fan had no choice but nodded in agreement.
"If I have the chance to meet an immortal, I will send a message to my senior brother."
…
One hundred thousand mountains.
Bibotan.
Zhou Yi held Taoist scriptures in his hands and fished leisurely by the lake.
suddenly.
The old man Jin Jinglu stood beside him. The two had been together for more than half a year and had a pretty good relationship.
One is fishing and farming, the other is fishing and chanting.
"In a few days it will be the birthday of the Golden God. Moyun City will hold a totem sacrifice ceremony. The old man must go back to preside over it. Is Taoist Zhu interested in watching the ceremony?"
Jin Jing respected Zhu Gang very much. He regarded himself as the best martial arts master in the world. He tried several times to find opportunities, but the opponent easily resolved the problem and could not figure out the truth or reality.
"Golden God's birthday?"
Zhou Yi was slightly startled. He had almost forgotten his birthday. He counted it with his fingers and found out the origin. It was probably the time when he came to Moyun Cave at the beginning of that year.
"I had nothing to do and couldn't find any trace of the real dragon, so I went to join in the fun."
"Looking for ancient monuments like you do, I don't know how long it takes."
Jin Jing smiled and said: "That fish is not the legendary fish monster. He is ignorant and ignorant. How can he know how to repay kindness?"
"That's impossible to say."
Zhou Yi got a good fortune in the divination this morning, so he came to the lake to stay guard.
The words have not yet fallen.
The surface of the lake was roaring with bubbles, and a large herring five or six feet long emerged from the lake, spitting out a round black shadow towards Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi waved his hand and took a picture. It was a black pearl as big as a pigeon's egg. It was round and flawless and already worth thousands of gold in the eyes of ordinary people.
Jin Jing was dumbfounded, scratching his head and ears like an old child, wanting to know what kind of mysterious method this was to tame animals, but it only took a grain of rice to make the herring vomit beads in return.
"What a pity, what a pity, this is not what Pindao wants."
Zhouyi Mana carefully inspected the pearl and found that there was no trace of the formation and had nothing to do with the Dragon Palace back then.
"It's only been less than a year, so there's no rush!"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
My head is about to explode. After all, every day has failed. I can’t force myself to write anymore~~~
By the way, I recommend this book "Into Unscience"
I have sat and talked with Newton, and I have walked side by side with Einstein.
I messed up Poulenck’s hair, and I also wrote the preface to Zhang Zhongjing’s Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases.
All in all, this is the story of a scholar who travels through time and space at home and abroad, ancient and modern, and uses the wisdom of his predecessors to open up the future of mankind.
What? You say this is unscientific?
No, this is very scientific!
