Aspirations

Chapter 115 The Immortals Come Down to Earth
Even Ruohan, Cao Shuli, and Jin Jia were listening quietly without speaking. Cao Shujuan hesitated to speak several times, and finally couldn't help asking: "Master Ye, is there really such a thing?"

"Before I descended to the mortal world, I had a chat with Empress Shouxian in Tiangong for a while. By the way, Empress Shouxian is what is often called Magu in the mortal world. She once practiced Taoism in Guyu Mountain in the southeast of Mouzhou, and then became a fairy and became a fairy. Class. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, she was summoned by the immortal Wang Fangping to Cai Jing's family. When she came down to earth, she wore a traveling crown, a red dress, a colorful belt, and a sword on her back. She rode on a feathered chariot pulled by a colorful flying dragon. Magu said to Wang Fangping, since I met you last time, I have seen the East China Sea turn into mulberry fields three times with my own eyes. Not long ago, I went to Penglai again. The water in this place is less than when the Fairy Conference was held in the past Half, maybe not too long, Penglai will also become land. Wang Fangping said with a smile, and the gods are saying that walking in the sea will soon raise dust again."

Even Ruohan had heard about the allusions of vicissitudes of life before, but there was some discrepancy with what Ye Muping said. Hearing this, she asked: "Ye Zhenren, the legend about Magu, Ge Hong's "Immortal Biography", "Baopuzi" and "Yunji Qijian" have records, and the allusions of the vicissitudes of the sea and the dust of the East China Sea are also different, which one is true?"

Cao Shuli had heard Cao Shujun often talk about books such as "The Legend of Immortals" and "Baopuzi" before. She also had some books at home. She read them a few times in her free time, and she knew something about them.

"It's all true, and it's all false. The legends left by the gods in the mortal world are often supplemented by the world. To the gods, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not, as long as the world believes in it and abandons evil and promotes good." Ye Muping smiled calmly , picked up the whisk and shook it a few times, "The tea is cold, it should be warmed up."

Strange to say, the sound of boiling water suddenly came from the teapot on the table, Lian Ruohan covered her mouth in surprise, and said in surprise, "Master Ye has great magic power."

"Haha, compared to moving mountains and seas, turning stones into gold, shrinking the earth into inches, and the art of boiling water, it's just a small skill. Just laugh." Ye Muping held the teacup in his hand, and he didn't see how he moved, let alone chanted words. The tea boiled, and in the blink of an eye, the tea turned into a cloud and slowly rose up until it reached the mid-air, condensing and not dispersing.

Even Ruohan didn't believe in fairy tales at all, and she couldn't help being shocked when she saw such a miraculous thing with her own eyes.Jin Jia's eyes widened too, he had known Ye Muping for a long time, and this was the first time he had seen Ye Muping's magical magic.

Ye Muping put back the teacup, the clouds were still floating in the air, he stretched out his right index finger, and made a light tap in the air, the clouds suddenly gathered and dispersed several times, and between breaths, the sea and mulberry fields changed several times.

"The nothingness becomes a fairy, and the empty body looks for the king of nature. After three thousand pills, you can become a saint and step into the fairyland." Ye Muping recited a poem, stretched his right hand into a palm, and then clasped the palm and grasped it Suddenly, the cloud and mist rose above the high beams. Suddenly, there was a golden light in the cloud and mist, and a towering palace appeared faintly, getting closer and clearer.

"Lingxiao Palace!" Cao Shujun saw the small characters on the palace, and exclaimed, "Tiangong?"

Ye Muping nodded with a smile, stretched out his left hand, a little emptiness, in a trance, there was a graceful music coming from the Lingxiao Palace, the music was jingling smoothly, it really was the sound of heaven, this song should only exist in the sky.

In the sound of the music, several fairies filed out from the palace, some held pipas, some danced and practiced, and some danced in the air.

Even Ruohan and Jin Jia were fascinated by it.

Ye Muping retracted his left hand, stretched his right hand, and the Lingxiao Palace disappeared suddenly. Among the misty clouds, a majestic and tall gate appeared in the void, and the blue glazed tiles reflected a blue sky everywhere.There is a word on the gate: Nantianmen.

"The Nantianmen is located in the direction of the Big Dipper, because the Nantianmen are all built with azure blue glazed tiles, and it shines on the world, and wherever you see it is the blue sky." Ye Muping put his hands together in the air, and the clouds and the Nantianmen disappeared. Tianle also stopped abruptly. He picked up the teacup with his right hand and picked it up in the air, only to hear a splash, and the cloud turned into tea, filling the teacup.

Several people were fascinated by watching, as if they had experienced a dream, but it happened in reality. Lian Ruohan was shocked, but also couldn't help being puzzled and puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Ye Zhenren, since you have already Chengxian, why do you have to come down to the world? Compared with the sky, the world is not as good as the sky. If you come to the capital from the countryside with a commoner, you will definitely not want to go back to the countryside."

"That's not the case. Immortals come down to earth, there must be a destiny, or to preach to others, or to help the emperor achieve great things, there is always a mission. Throughout the ages, all the emperors and generals who have made outstanding achievements have been surrounded by immortals. Realm, not just enjoying the blessings of heaven and disregarding the sufferings of the world, just like many officials in the world who serve the country and the people, they care about the people of the world." Ye Muping stood up, went to the window with his hands behind his back, opened the window, and looked up at the sky After the rain, the sky cleared, and white clouds floated in the clear sky, clean as white porcelain, "The curtain of the North Sea is so bright, the green snake in the sleeve is courageous. Three people who entered Yueyang did not know it, and flew over Dongting Lake with aloud. Alone Sitting alone while walking, the infinite world does not recognize me. Only the old tree spirit in the south of the city clearly knows the deeds of the gods."

"The mission of Master Ye is to help the emperor accomplish something great?" Although Cao Shujun yearns for the days of the gods, he is still in the world after all, and the things in front of him are the most important. He still has a big doubt in his heart, "The emperor has been ill for a long time. , with Ye Zhenren's celestial art, a golden pill can make the emperor ascend to immortality in the daytime, why can't he cure the emperor's illness?"

"Haha..." Ye Muping smiled, turned around and pointed at Cao Shujun, "Cao Langjun, Cao Langjun, your question has already reached the secret, and the secret must not be revealed."

"Just now, Master Ye turned water into clouds, and turned clouds into the palace of Lingxiao. Isn't that already leaking the secret?" Cao Shujun pretended, "Leaking a little is leaking, and leaking more is also leaking. There are no outsiders here, why not?" Leak more?"

While talking, he blinked at Lian Ruohan.

Cao Shuli knew that Cao Shujuan was asking about the emperor's condition for Lian Ruohan, but a thought flashed in her mind, that Sanlang was not too young, so he should find a wife to marry back home, so that he could feel at ease, don't worry about it anymore. Thinking of Lian Ruohan.Although Lady Lian is good, she is not a good match for Saburo.

"Just now it was just an illusion. Illusionists. The illusion is not a fairy art, so it can't be taken as real." Ye Muping smiled complacently, then turned to Jin Jia and said, "Mr. Jin Jia knows the emperor's condition very well."

Jin Jia didn't speak for a long time, and when he opened his mouth, he said shocking words: "After watching for a long time, it turned out to be a trick, Ye Zhenren, are you entertaining the old man? The time that the old man has known you is also endless. You are either pretending to be a ghost, or being mysterious, and you are always refusing. Showing your skills, I didn’t let the old man open his eyes until today, the old man really thought it was the supreme fairy art, and was about to admire you, but you said it was a trick, do you want to piss the old man to death?”

Ye Muping ignored Jin Jia's complaints, and said: "Since the Han Dynasty, there have only been 45 people who have become immortals, Yin Changsheng is No. 40, and the poor are human beings. Why are there so few people who have become immortals in the world? People in the world pursue the so-called prosperity and wealth in the world, and they can't let go of their thoughts. They are bound by the things of the world, just like being in a cage, and they can't get out. People in the cage will stagnate their anger, and all diseases are born of their anger. .”

Cao Shujun knew that Ye Muping was going to get to the point, so he quickly raised his ears to listen carefully.

"Most people in the world are bound by fame, fortune, glory and wealth, and cannot become immortals. There are also some people who see through the world of mortals and want to ask Taoism to ask immortals, why can't they become immortals? Because there is no immortal bone. Immortal bone, how will the world know the reason? A person who becomes an immortal must not only have the fate of immortality, but also the bone of immortality, both of which are indispensable." Ye Muping pointed at Cao Shujun with his right hand, "Just like you, Cao Sanlang, you have the fate of immortality. But there is no fairy bone, so there is no hope of becoming a fairy."

Cao Shujun suddenly cried and said: "Ye Zhenren, I want to become a fairy, happy as heaven..."

"Don't make trouble, listen to Master Ye." Cao Shuli patted Cao Shujun with a fan in her hand, "You can become a spirit even if you can't become a fairy."

Lian Ruohan suppressed a smile.

"That's why people in the world can't become immortals. Every day in the cage of the world, pent up anger and deliberate thoughts will cause all kinds of diseases. Illness comes from the breath, and the breath starts from the heart, so the heart must be cured first." Ye Muping will The problem was thrown to Jin Jia, "Mr. Jin Jia, with the same medicine, why does some people take the medicine and get rid of the disease, while others take it but get better later?"

Lian Ruohan's heart moved, Ye Muping seemed to be implying that the emperor's long-term illness was due to heart disease.She doesn't know much about medical skills, but she also knows the truth that the physical illness is easy to heal and the heart disease is difficult to cure, and she also knows the reason for the emperor's heart disease.

"Ye Zhenren, don't go around in circles, okay? The old man is going to be surrounded by you so much that he can't find anything." Jin Jia stood up angrily, and walked a few steps back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed. Wrinkled tightly, with an anxious expression on his face, it took him a while to make up his mind, "I really shouldn't come with you today, and if anything happens to me in the future, it will be your fault, you can remember it. Okay , What should be said and what should not be said, the old man will tell you today, anyway, at this juncture, the matter cannot be suppressed anymore."

Even Ruohan has known Jin Jia for several years. Although he doesn't have many contacts, he also understands that Jin Jia seems to be carefree, but in fact he is also a very measured person, otherwise he would not have been by the emperor's side for many years. To win the emperor's trust without falling out of favor, and without being hated by the princes.The imperial physicians around the emperor have been replaced by the emperor and the third prince one after another. Jin Jia is the only imperial physician who is always with the emperor and is recognized by the emperor and not disliked by the third prince. It can be seen that in addition to his medical skills, he is also very courteous. wisdom.

"The emperor's disease, after getting the medicine bed and medicine chair, has been cured. The emperor is also full of joy, and he will continue to use the medicine bed and medicine chair to recuperate, but Hou Pingpan uses the medicine bed and medicine chair. Persuading the emperor not to continue to use it without evidence, Zhu Taiyi also agreed with Hou Pingpan's statement. Originally, the emperor did not believe what the two said, but Ye Zhenren also agreed with the two, so the emperor believed it and stopped using the bed medicine Chair." Jin Jia looked at Ye Muping and snorted, "At that time, the old man didn't know Ye Zhenren's good intentions, and thought he was in cahoots with Hou Pingpan and Imperial Physician Zhu, so he quarreled with him."

Ye Muping smiled without saying a word.

"It was only later that I found out that Ye Zhenren was pushing the boat along the way, because he saw that the emperor's condition was already very good, and the medicine bed medicine chair was not effective anymore, so it was okay to stop using it. But if the emperor keeps using the medicine bed medicine chair, Hou Ping Pan and Imperial Physician Zhu may directly harm the emperor. Instead of this, it is better for the emperor to pretend to agree first to buy time.” Jin Jia shook his head and sighed, “The emperor is in danger now. Hide a dagger in the boots to prevent Hou Pingpan from suddenly attacking!"

"Ah!" Cao Shujuan turned pale with shock. Everyone knew that Hou Pingpan controlled the government, but they never thought that Hou Pingpan would act so boldly that he would not be able to rebel?As the Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, can't he just be an official waiting for Pingpan?
"The tail can't be lost... The civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty are either the people who wait for Pingpan or the people of the third prince. Even the Yushitai is the only one who obeys Pingpan's orders. Since the emperor fell ill, the power has fallen, and Hou Pingpan used the new law as an excuse to fight against dissidents." All the ministers who opposed the new law were dismissed and relegated. Only half of Daxia has the surname Xia, and the third prince’s Xia, and the other half’s surname is Hou. Not to mention, there are three princes and Hou Ping around the emperor from the servants to the harem. Pan, and the concubine Hou Guifei, whom the emperor once loved the most, is the daughter of Hou Pingpan." Jin Jia knew that he was by the emperor's side, so he had to be more cautious in his words and deeds, and a little carelessness would lead to death. He used his carelessness to cover himself, making outsiders mistakenly think that he has no city, but now the situation has changed drastically, and if he doesn't tell the truth, maybe there will be no chance. The scene in front of the Xingwang Mansion today made him clearly realize that One point, the conflicts between King Jing, King Qing, and King Jian, King Xing, King Yun, and Hou Pingpan have become public.

At the same time, the emperor's situation is getting more and more dangerous, it's time to introduce foreign aid, otherwise he, Ye Muping and Chang Guan are only around the emperor, I'm afraid it won't last long.

Even Ruohan was extremely shocked. She thought that the emperor was deceived by Hou Pingpan before implementing the new law. Now it seems that Hou Pingpan set him on fire and was powerless to resist. The majestic emperor ended up in such a state. Pan was indeed a treacherous minister who harmed the country and the people.

"The emperor's visit to the third prince's birthday banquet today, is it to shake the mountain or have other intentions?" Although Lian Ruohan didn't see the scene of the emperor's visit to the Xingwang Mansion in person, he could guess something from it, especially after listening to what Mr. Jin Jia said. After telling the truth.

"The emperor wants to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, so that the third prince and Hou Pingpan should not be too presumptuous, and the second is to warn the civil and military officials attending the meeting that the emperor is still sitting on the throne, and the world is still the emperor's world." Jin Jia suddenly frowned. He patted the table and figured out something, "No, I'm afraid that the emperor's move will attract stronger reactions from the third prince and Hou Pingpan, maybe they will attack the emperor severely. Ye Zhenzhen, your golden core is really good. Eliminate all poisons?"

"Detoxification? Could it be that the emperor has been poisoned?" Cao Shuli exclaimed. She didn't understand the affairs of the court, but she didn't expect that the court was so dangerous that even the emperor was in danger. It was amazing.

Ye Muping still smiled and said nothing, Jin Jia glared at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Ye Zhenren is a god, but he only asks about world affairs, does not reveal secrets, what should be said and what should not be said, it is up to the old man. The emperor's illness came very suddenly. The emperor was always in good health, but he suddenly fell ill. After he fell ill, the cause could not be found out. He was just afraid of the cold, so the old man prescribed some medicine for the emperor. Gradually, he got better. , but it didn’t take long for the condition to worsen again. Repeated so many times, it was a big headache. Later, Ye Zhenren reminded the old man that the emperor’s condition was a bit strange, and he was afraid that he had eaten something that shouldn’t be eaten. After investigating, the old man found that there was indeed a big problem, someone secretly added chronic poison to the emperor's medicine, luckily the old man discovered it in time, and secretly removed the poison."

"There are other things like this? Who is so daring to act recklessly, isn't he afraid of killing everyone?" Cao Shujun was shocked and angry.

"The actions of the third prince and Hou Pingpan are heinous, and they are already enough to kill everyone." Jin Jia sneered, "It's what Hou Guifei teamed up with Zhu Taiyi Zhu Baishui. The two took down the question, but Chang Guan persuaded the emperor not to say anything, and continued to pretend to be poisoned, otherwise the third prince and Hou Pingpan must have a second hand, which would be even more detrimental to the emperor. Ye Zhenren also pretended to let the emperor hold back for a while, and sent It came to make the third prince mistakenly think that the poison is actually a golden pill that can detoxify, and it is used to dissolve the poison accumulated in the emperor's body."

Ye Muping nodded slightly: "Although the Pindao Golden Elixir can cure hundreds of poisons, it can't resolve the heart disease. Although the toxicity in the emperor's body is reduced, the heart disease is difficult to eradicate for a while, and I am afraid it will take some time. It is not suitable for the emperor at this time. To confront the Third Prince and Hou Pingpan head-on, the timing of one is not ripe enough, and the strength of the other is not enough."

Lian Ruohan remained silent. Originally, Cao Shujun was asked to invite Jin Jia and Ye Muping, in order to let them be used by King Jing. Now it seems that the two are by the emperor's side, and they have long been devoted to protecting the emperor's safety. Less tongue-in-cheek.But after thinking about it again, she still couldn't help feeling slightly worried: "The little girl has an unfeeling request. I don't know if Mr. Jin Jia and Ye Zhenren can serve as the support of His Royal Highness King Jing in the palace. Wang Li should cooperate with the outside world, waiting for the opportunity to wipe out Hou Pingpan and other chaotic parties?"

Lian Ruohan still skipped over Xingwang, after all Xingwang is a relative of the emperor and cannot be lumped in with the rebellious party.Furthermore, it is true that the emperor has no children under his knees, and the throne still has to be passed on to several princes.

Ye Muping chuckled: "The poor Taoist only cares about the emperor's safety, the rest of the people, etc., have nothing to do with the poor Taoist. Whether it is King Xing, King Jing, or King Qing, King Jian, the poor Taoist Treat everyone equally. Pindao only recognizes the emperor as the emperor, and Pindao will not help anyone usurp the throne."

Cao Shujun heard the clue, and quickly asked: "Ye Zhenren means that the emperor is blessed with great blessings, has God's help, and will sit on the throne. No one else can be the emperor?"

Ye Muping casually glanced at Cao Shujun, then raised his eyes to look out of the window: "People in the world are sick because of their heart disease. If you can't get rid of the knot, you can't get rid of the serious illness. The emperor's illness is in his heart, so I'm afraid it won't be cured for a while. It won't get better, but it won't get worse, the dragon is trapped in the shallows, just waiting for the water to flow."

"Where is the water?" Cao Shujun asked curiously.
