All along, when it comes to alchemists, everyone is full of prejudice.
Because he bewitched the emperor, sought immortality and asked questions, and ignored the common people, it directly or indirectly caused Emperor Zongming to not go to court for more than 20 years, and even went to great lengths to build the Wanshou Immortal Palace. Of course, a share of this sin was charged to the alchemist. On the head, even if I want to shake it off, I can't shake it cleanly.
But if you put aside the prejudice in your heart and just treat Qing Pingzi and the others as ordinary Taoist priests,
Mr. Ji felt a chill going straight to the sky. The remaining historical mysteries in his profound knowledge opened a gap for him at this moment!
In the blink of an eye, he seemed to have figured out something, and his figure turned into afterimages. He quickly stopped in front of each bookshelf for a moment, and then walked non-stop to the next place.
Not long after, one book after another was placed in front of Gu Dan.
Mr. Ji's expression was extremely excited, causing waves of flushing to appear on his already old face. He opened the first book with trembling fingers, pressed on it and read word by word: "There is a record in "The Chronicles of Taizu". In the second year of the founding of the country, a Taoist priest came to see him and told him about strange people and strange skills. Taizu was displeased and expelled him."
"It is recorded in "Wanqing Gongshu" that in the thirty-fourth year of the Great Moon, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the name of the country has not yet been determined. A Taoist priest came to see him and presented the "Five Elements Book". The new emperor was very pleased and gave Taiqing Temple to the Taoist priests. .Tai Qing Guan, which is today’s Qing Feng Guan!”
"It is recorded in the "Great Moon Emperor's Code" that in the sixty-third year of the Great Moon, a new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the country's name has not yet been determined. A Taoist priest came to see him."
One pile, one piece.
In the past, it was just used as a joke to sigh that Taoist priests are not all people who regard fame and wealth as dirt. Where do so many idle clouds and wild cranes come from? The common people have no idea.
Until today, Gu Dan's words completely awakened him.
What if it wasn't what he thought? !
Several times in the history since the founding of Dayue, every time a new emperor succeeded to the throne, Taoist priests would come to see him! ! !
It's just that Emperor Dayue has never had a Taoist priest as lofty as Emperor Zongming. In the past, even the most religious emperors could only confer one heavenly master at most!
Until the generation of Emperor Zongming, the belief in seeking immortality had reached an extremely high level. He did not go to court for more than 20 years, which caused the people to suffer terribly. People did not dare to openly express their opinions on the emperor, so they could only target Qingpingzi and others. people.
Taoists also take advantage of the situation to separate themselves from justice, calling them alchemists, and frankly speaking, they are not the same kind of people.
So much so that he had never thought about this, he just lamented that each generation of emperors was not as good as the previous one!
If Gu Dan hadn't broken through the fog in his heart and had this elixir right in front of him, he really wouldn't have been able to connect all of this!
"What do these Taoist priests want to do?"
One history book after another was opened in front of his eyes, and Gu Dan did not expect those Taoist priests to be so persistent.
If you change the emperor, you have to meet him once. This is too persistent!
But if these people are really greedy for glory and wealth, they will escape faster than anyone else after the fate of immortality has truly arrived and their decades of hard work have been realized.
The main thing is to be unable to touch and see clearly!
"Is there a possibility that those people, like Qing Pingzi, really want to ask for immortality? They don't want to get too involved in the world, so they want to use the imperial power to fulfill their wishes?" Mr. Ji's eyes were burning. The middle burst emitted a brilliance like the scorching sun.
This feeling of unraveling the mysteries of history and peering through time to see a hidden corner of time always made his heart so excited that he wished he could borrow another five hundred years from heaven to figure it all out!
It's a pity that now that he is old and frail, even if he has grasped some connections, he has no time to explore further.
This feeling of having made a big discovery but being unable to do anything about it, like there are ants crawling all over the body, and like an itch that is just behind the wheel, makes people feel between joy and hatred, and they can't stop!
"Isn't this right?"
Gu Dan also frowned and said hesitantly: "The immortal fate appeared in the world only when the night falls in the sky. Can those Taoist priests in the past still live to this day? What else could be detected with the help of the imperial power at that time? Qingpingzi just happened to be there. If you bump into someone like Emperor Zongming, how else can you get the overwhelming power?"
"What's wrong?"
Ji Lao shook his head repeatedly, stared at the box containing the elixir, and said affirmatively: "Isn't this a kind of immortal fate? Is there anything in the world that can save a warrior from more than ten years of hard work?!"
Gu Dan was stunned.
In an instant, I understood what Mr. Ji meant!
His vision should not be too narrow. It is not necessary to have a spiritual stone to be considered an immortal, such as the oven good fortune pill he swallowed, or even the "Qingxuan Zhenjun Spiritual Transferring Technique" that Qing Pingzi sent to him. ,Aren’t these the celestial beings?
Even if I didn’t understand its use at the time, it was a real fairy tale!
In other words, Qing Pingzi could easily throw him a copy of the Immortal Way Cultivation Method, and also get pills such as the Baking Furnace Good Fortune Pill that can help warriors save ten years of hard work. How much more was hidden behind his back?
Even the things Emperor Zong Ming got were all obtained after being given a hand by the alchemist!
Those alchemists can't really be righteous people, loyal and courageous people. They don't take any kickbacks when they get everything, and they only work for Emperor Zongming, right? !
After understanding this, it is not difficult to understand why the real immortal came to the world, but after learning the immortal's method, Qing Pingzi was clearly a master, but he ran faster than anyone else!
If he doesn't run away, I'm afraid the whole world will chase him away!
Damn it, I used to be an alchemist just to deceive Emperor Zong Ming for glory and wealth, who would have thought they were serious.
Even Gu Dan, who had always had an indifferent attitude towards things, couldn't help but feel his eyes turn red after thinking about all this.
God knows how many good things the alchemist has hidden and hasn’t leaked out!
Why did they just run away? !
At this time, Gu Dan actually understood where Emperor Zong Ming's hatred for Fang Shi came from.
I wish I could shout now, "I will do justice for heaven," and then pull out Qing Pingzi and give him a shake to see how many good things he has hidden behind his back!
"Qing Pingzi finally disappeared in Yuzhou. Now the White Lotus Sect is causing chaos in Yuzhou." Gu Dan murmured.
"Ha, this has nothing to do with me."
After thinking about this, Mr. Ji took the lead to put aside these reverie, brought everything back to the topic, and said: "You still have a chance to find Qing Pingzi. At my age, if I can reach the realm above the master once in my lifetime, then It’s time to die without regrets!”
"Um?"
After coming back to his senses, Gu Dan looked at him in surprise and asked in confusion: "Do you still want to reach the innate realm again?!"
"Why not? Before I die, I can still show you a way out. If I succeed, that would be great. Maybe it can last for another few decades. If I die, I can also leave you some Warning."
Mr. Ji said with a smile. When talking about life and death, he did not show so much pessimism and disappointment. "However, it is not as simple as you think to attack the master! Without decades of preparation, if you attack rashly, you will die." There is no burial place!
You are still far away, come with me, I have prepared some things for you."
