Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 84

Yuan Huazi closed his eyes and chanted sutras. He was contemplating his mind, and his thin body was tightly wrapped in his gray sermon robe, completely detached from his body.

"The old Taoist is penniless, let alone the god of longevity and the holy product of the immortal family. Your master probably found the wrong person."

Even if the old Taoist faced the legendary immortal, he was still as stubborn as a stone, and would rather be weathered and eroded into a pile of dust than bow his head an inch.

An ethereal voice suddenly sounded, and all the paper-tie celestial beings turned around suddenly, and all of them resumed their free and easy postures of feasting and toasting, seeming to sweep away the tense atmosphere in the cave.

"Really, you can recognize this thing."

The candles in the cave were flickering, the light was uncertain, and finally calmed down after a long time, but a tall and strange bronze vessel appeared on the chessboard stone.

Seeing this artifact, even Yuan Huazi's face trembled, and his face was instantly covered with a layer of gray.

This bronze ware is rusty, severely corroded, wear-and-tear and earthy, it seems that it has not been dug out of the soil for a long time, but its shape is strange like never seen before, and the theme is a gilt-bronze monster with feathers.

The bronze statue is about three feet high, and the whole body is made of gilt. It has long eyes, a pointed nose and a bird's beak. There is no hair crown on the top of the head, but the ears are as big as a pair of swallow wings. It does not have an ordinary face at all.

But what's even weirder is that the bronze man's cheeks are plump and fleshy, and he pulls out a strange and serene smile on his face and wide mouth, gazing at the front, the shape is lifelike, as if there really was such a species in ancient times, and the craftsmen just made it on a matter-of-fact basis.

I saw this bronze figure kneeling on the ground, holding a cuboid-shaped box in both hands. What's even more strange is that under its long and slender arms, there are a pair of delicately textured wings, which are connected to the back of the big arms, looking deformed and deformed. smooth...

"A fairy rode a white deer, with short hair and long ears. Guided me to the Taihua, took the Zhizhi and got the red building. When I came to the master's door, I gave a jade box of medicine. The master took this medicine, and the body became stronger day by day. The whitening will turn black , prolong lifespan."

The ethereal and ethereal voice recited the Yuefu poems of the Han Dynasty with an ancient accent, as if singing about a certain messenger who brought longevity.

After a song, the voice rang out again, "My lord, the thing in the bronze box with the blue bird and feather was a gift from Queen Xi's mother. It has been left in the world for a long time, and it is time to return it today."

Yuan Huazi had written panic into the wrinkles on his face, lowered his head and muttered: "The old Taoist has never seen Queen Mother Xi's medicine of immortality, your master has learned from it."

"Haha, the real person laughed."

The ethereal and ethereal voice continued to come, without any fireworks, "I have never seen the 'Pharmaceutical of Immortality'. Isn't the 'Han Yuan Shou Palace Fragrance' not on you? People give medicine, and the envoy takes it and sees a fairy waving on the top of the mountain, do you want to say that there is nothing wrong with it?"

The ethereal voice was full of emotion, "These moments are already thousands of years ago..."

Yuanhuazi was silent for a moment, then replied hoarsely.

"The master has passed down the secret recipe for making incense, but now it has been burned by the old Taoist. Since the Han Dynasty, there are many gods, and there are many descendants of sorcerers and feather guests. This incense recipe can't be avoided. Therefore, I hope your master will learn from the absurdity of his fate."

The so-called "Shan Yu's dynasty in China has a big reason" is the most appalling of all the signs of decline and doomsday prophecies in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty.

At that time, some people discovered that as long as the Xiongnu Shanyu came to the court, some ominous changes would always be "triggered", and even the emperor would be killed repeatedly.

In the first month of spring in the first year of Huanglong, the Xiongnu Hu Hanxie came to the dynasty, and the gifts were as before. ...December Jiaxu in winter, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty collapsed in Weiyang Palace.

In the first month of spring in the first year of Jingning, Hu Hanxie Shanyu of the Huns came to court. ... On May Renchen, Emperor Yuan of Han collapsed in Weiyang Palace.

In the first month of spring in the fourth year of Heping, the Xiongnu Shanyu came to court. ... In March in Renshen, the Changling Lingjing bank collapsed, and the Yongjing River collapsed.In summer and June, Gengxu, the king of Chu was in a state of desperation.But in the second year of Suihe, the only surviving Emperor Han Cheng was terrified by the weird celestial phenomena.

In order to save himself from disaster, Emperor Cheng forced his prime minister, Zhai Fangjin, to commit suicide—he himself still did not survive March of that year.

Three emperors died in succession, and the rulers of the Western Han Dynasty also thought about banning Shanyu from coming to court, but the Xiongnu was still a border problem at that time. If the tribute system could not be maintained, it would only show the weakness of the dynasty, and even from the prophecy of prophecy. Shake the foundations of governance.

Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, who succeeded Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, tried his best to prolong his life, and even carried out the largest superstitious activity in the Western Han Dynasty——

The queen mother of Xingxi issued an imperial edict.

"Han Shu Ai Di Ji": The folk biography of the Guandong travels to the Queen Mother of the West, goes through the prefectures and states, and enters the pass from the west to the capital.The people gather again to commemorate the Queen Mother of the West, or go up to the house at night with a fire, beat drums and clap their hands in terror.

"Hanshu Astronomical Records": In the first year of Emperor Ai's Jianping, the people were alarmed, and Ju Ye ran around, passing down an order to raise the Temple of the Queen Mother of the West, and said, "Zongmu people should come."

When the sun rises at the end of Dingwei in the second month of the fourth year, there will be white air in the sky, as wide as a piece of cloth, more than ten feet long, traveling southwest, like thunder, and stopping for a moment when traveling southwest, it is called a tengu.According to the legend: "If you don't follow your words, there will be disasters for dogs and poetry monsters."

No one knows why the official blessing and prayer activities, which are tacitly approved by the government, arouse such fear among the people of Jingzhao, almost like the catastrophe of the hat demon during the Tianxi period of the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, whether it is the rumors about "Tengu" or "Zongmuren", they all point to the rumors that they have the medicine of longevity with the Queen Mother of the West, and both are envoys who sent the medicine to the Queen Mother.

From a certain day, someone discovered that unusually strong incense was lit everywhere in Weiyang Palace, and it almost lingered on the clothes for more than ten days. For a while, there were rumors in Chang'an City.

The ministers of the last dynasty secretly said that Emperor Ai of Han, who was rumored to be "the son of heaven has a yin disease" and shrouded in ominousness since he succeeded to the throne, seemed to recover from the strong fragrance and began to govern the country.

This "Han Yuan Shou Gong Xiang" has also been imitated by rich families.

At this time, public panic is still intensifying.On a certain day every month, the people of Kanto gather outside the Temple of the Queen Mother of the West to scare each other away, or hold the Queen Mother of the West to pray for each other. Thousands of people often meet in the road. Or ride a Mercedes regardless of the danger, frantic to the point of being unstoppable.

Some people even secretly expressed that all these are necessarily related.

Warlocks from various countries in Shandong even asserted convincingly that the three envoys of the Queen Mother of the West were held in the main palace of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty. With the arrival of the medicine in his hand, the curse will be easily resolved.

What is strange is that in June of the second year of Yuanshou, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty collapsed in Weiyang Palace. The vicious circle of "Shan Yu's dynasty in China has a big reason" has once again been "fulfilled" in Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty.

An ethereal and illusory voice resounded from outside the sky, wandering and helpless, extremely strange.

"Thousands of years are like a flash of time, but the opportunity is still elusive and hard to grasp. I ask you, this last piece of Hanyuan Shougong incense is in your hands..."

　The scariest thing about this chapter is that the queen mother of Xingxi is a real story...
