Hush!secret

Shang Zhongli probably understood the meaning: "Is this book written by a Taoist priest?"

Chu Rui nodded.

Taoism was prevalent in the Ming Dynasty, especially during the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty. After Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, Taoism gradually declined due to the tight relationship between the authorities and Taoism.According to the content written in the book, this Taoist priest named Suwen entered the palace in the autumn of the tenth year of Wanli, and has been practicing immortality medicine for the emperor ever since.

Chu Rui then flipped back, and there were mostly records of daily life at the back. The more she looked at the two, the more she confirmed Su Wen's identity.

In the book, I personally wrote down the daily life, status, daily cleaning, cultivation, escorting sacrifices, praying, etc. of the monks in the palace.It's a pity that immortality is just nonsense. No one has ever realized it. Suwen himself is not sure that he can successfully refine alchemy. The day and night of alchemy makes him feel panic. After the death of the first assistant in July, the emperor's desire for immortality entered an almost insane state, and the urging became more and more troublesome. By November of the same year, Suwen's heart was always in high tension, greedy for life and afraid of death, and worried that he would be killed by the emperor at any time. Punish the state of dying.

Through Suwen's description, one can get a glimpse of one or two. The relatives and friends mentioned many times, the master, and the panic in his heart all reveal that Suwen is a person who is afraid of death.

"Why did that Peng Ruofu find a way to send Suwen into the palace? He is so afraid of death." Shang Zhongli asked in bewilderment.

Chu Rui thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid Suwen's birth was not good, and he was young at the time, entered the palace early, and his chances in the future will be greater than others."

Suwen was 15 years old when he entered the palace, and lived in fear day and night until the 15th year of Wanli, when Suwen was 20 years old, the words in the book obviously grew a lot.The emperor was inactive in government affairs, indulged in wine and sex, lived a luxurious life, and his health was deteriorating.The number of precious medicines sent to the alchemy room every day is countless. Even if they can't live forever, the emperor's body will be much stronger. Therefore, Su Wen was reused by the emperor, and he began to preside over matters such as sacrifices and prayers, and later became a Danfang is in charge.

In the 48th year of Wanli, the emperor had been drinking too much for a long time, and was lingering in the sick bed. In March of the same year, he encountered a disastrous defeat in Liaodong and was troubled by many state affairs, so he couldn't afford to get sick.

Chu Rui's eyes suddenly sparkled faintly, and he pointed to a place to show Shang Zhongli: "Look here."

"It is written here that after Emperor Wanli's defeat in the Liaodong War in March, he summoned the three Taoist priests who were most favored by him at that time, including the 53-year-old Suwen. The legend of Queen Mother Dexi's elixir of life made the three of them go out of the palace to search for the elixir of life under the orders of the emperor."

A flash of light flashed in Shang Zhongli's mind: "A Rui, do you remember that we have a dungeon inside."

Chu Rui knew what he was talking about, and immediately responded: "For the murals in "Fengming Yougong", we guessed who the owner of the tomb would be. Now that we think about the content of the murals, it seems to match King Mu of Zhou." He He is not well versed in history. When he saw the murals in the tomb, a thought vaguely flashed through his mind, but unfortunately it was interrupted by the two-headed python that appeared later.

Shang Zhongli: "Is there any connection between them?"

Chu Rui didn't know either.

Then look down. (The contents of the book will be replaced by vernacular text below)

-

Immortality is a fool's dream.I am 53 years old, and the sea and fields outside the palace have long changed. I sat in the carriage, looking at the walls and willows of the palace city, and fell into confusion.

I am afraid there will be no return date for this trip.

Guarded by the emperor's bodyguard, we can only embark on the long road to find the elixir of youth.

-

Afterwards, what was written in the book was what happened to them on the road. They traveled all the way west, looking for the legendary Kunlun Mountains. It is said that the Queen Mother of the West is in the south of the West Sea, on the shore of Quicksand, behind Chishui, a place called Kunlun.They wandered all the way, two of the three Taoist priests died, overcame all difficulties, and finally reached the south of the West Sea but found nothing, so they could only go back disappointed. In the attack, Su Wen and a guard escaped death by chance, but there were only the two of them left in the mighty group.

"Shang Zhongli!" Chu Rui's pupils widened when he saw something.

"Yeah." Shang Zhongli raised his eyebrows, "I saw it."

It is written in the book that the bodyguard is the Great Han General of Jin Yiwei who is beside the emperor. He is extraordinary in martial arts, resourceful, brave and good at fighting. , carrying a long silver sword with him. The sword is thin and long, less than half the width of the hilt, and about nine feet long. When holding flowers, it looks like a dragon playing with a phoenix.

The record about General Han came to an abrupt end. Chu Rui turned back and was surprised to find that the last page had been torn off.

Shang Zhongli put his hands on his waist and abdomen, slightly dazed.

It was the first time for him to see the origin of this sword. His understanding of "Suo" came from Mr. Shang, but since he often reads this book, it is impossible not to know the origin of this sword. One page, who tore off the missing page?About the Great Han General, Su Wen Shang Zhongli felt that there was something hidden in it.

Then look down.

-

On the way back, we passed Long'an Mansion, and the whole country mourned. We only knew that the emperor passed away in the palace five days ago.

For a time, half a year of searching turned into a laughing stock, and 40 years of life became a joke.I didn't know why, and suddenly felt that I would die soon, and go to the underworld to serve the late emperor, but I was unwilling to do so, and felt panic when my breath wandered.

I entered the imperial palace when I was 15 years old before I knew the ways of the world, and plunged into the dream and obsession of immortality. It turns out that I have long been afraid of death.

Unwilling, unwilling.

That night, Liuying filled the sky, and I followed Liuying to a strange place in my dream. The place was surrounded by clouds and smoke, like a fairyland. There is no blood, and it is as cold as the sky when talking, like a paper man without temperature.

When I woke up the next day, life was still the same, the sun rose and set, and everything seemed to be the same as before, only I knew it was different.

-

"Why can't I understand what he wants to express?"

Chu Rui didn't see Mingtang either: "Look down first."

The following records are getting more and more weird, and they are all incomprehensible words in the cloud, but the first sentence of each day is "how many days to wake up", followed by the psychological description of the gods and gods, either happy or happy. sad.

Chu Rui thought of a terrible thought, and he took a deep breath: "Could it be that he entered an illusion?"

Shang Zhongli: "What!"

"Your grandfather said that illusions have appeared very early, and will change according to different times. In our current era, illusions use virtual immersive games. What about before?" Chu Rui analyzed, and the more she analyzed, the more she felt. Creepy, "Look at what he wrote in his self-report. When he arrived in a misty place, what he saw was fog, and that woman was equivalent to the system voice we heard in the illusion."

Shang Zhongli: "Then what day does he wake up at the beginning of every day, is he recording the days when he entered the illusion?"

"Yes, he must know that things about the illusion cannot be spread everywhere." Chu Rui looked at Shang Zhongli with a complex expression, "I have something to tell you."

Seeing Chu Rui's solemn expression, Shang Zhongli couldn't help becoming nervous: "Is it about my grandfather?"

Chu Rui paused for a moment, then nodded her head: "I suspect that your grandpa is Su Wen."

[The author has something to say]: The writing is relatively long, so it is divided into two chapters. 170 Two I will fix it and I will send it out early tomorrow. I have revised Fengming Yougong Shang Zhongli's family memories. Originally, I wanted to write about all the relatives of the old merchant. Those who died in the illusion, I changed it when I wrote it later, and I forgot to modify it before, and it will pass the review during the day tomorrow.
