185th episode, the flowers bloomed in the mountains last night, but the poor people have not returned
Mei Zhenyi didn't know a lot before, such as the medicine guide of the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill. The elixir recipe contains a lack of pens left by hand. Because this elixir is too magical and has the power to transfer the furnace and cauldron. Although Sun Simiao was a miraculous doctor of a generation and had unparalleled external elixirs, he had never refined the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill because the medicinal materials in the elixir recipe are difficult to collect.
I won’t talk about the thousand-year-old Mingsha and the like, I will only talk about two medicines, one is the Boruo Rama flower, which is not available in the world, and the more rare thing is the other medicine - Cao Huan Dan. Where can I get this kind of plum blossoms?
There is one thing Qingfeng Fairy Child didn't say, that is, there are two kinds of grass and elixirs. One is born from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, called human body fruit. It is rooted in the human world but is like a fairy world. It only takes thirty-six in 10,080 years. There is another situation where the same tree does not have the untainted energy of immortals, so it is not the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, but the ordinary grass and elixir trees, which bear fruit every thirty years. But this situation only exists theoretically, because so far, there is only that spiritual root of heaven and earth.
Qingfeng Fairy Tong is the person who opened up the first medicine field in Kunlun Fairyland. He has protected the spiritual roots of heaven and earth for 1,800 years. He is not only familiar with various spiritual medicines in the world, but also knows the medicinal properties of grass and elixirs. So he knows that another thing can be used instead of grass and elixirs in the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill, which is Wen Xinhan Jade Chromium.
The same prescription is used in the prescription, and it also emphasizes the combination of the monarch and ministers. If one medicine is lacking, another medicine with the same medicinal properties can be replaced by another medicine. For example, the "Niuhuang Angong Wan" prepared by Tongrentang in later generations should use natural beef yellow and rhino horn in the original prescription. There is not much difference between using artificial beef yellow instead of natural beef yellow, but rhino horn cannot be used for various reasons, so it can only be replaced by buffalo horn. The medicinal properties are the same, but the medicinal power is greatly reduced.
This problem also exists when using Wen Xin Han Jade Cleur instead of Cao Huan Dan. The medicinal power of the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill refined is discounted compared to the original prescription, or it is another version of the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill. When using thousand-year-old spiritual blood as medicine to replace the Immortal Tears, the medicinal properties will not be affected, but can affect the number and success rate of the elixir. This is the difference between alchemy and ordinary medicine.
If everything is refined into the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill according to the original prescription and use the human body fruit as medicine, what kind of medicinal power will it have?
After taking it for a thousand years, just sit in a state of concentration and circulate the spirit of the whole body. The magic power increases, you can improve without any obstacles, just like being in the fairy spirit cave. There is another miraculous effect. If the Dharma body of the deity is destroyed, as long as the spiritual consciousness has not dissipated, you can recondensate the Dharma body, which is equivalent to an additional real Dharma body to pass through the tribulation, and there is no need to reincarnate and entrust and re-cultivate.
Using human body fruit as medicine, one can refine twelve furnaces at the same time, assuming that the alchemist can collect all the other earth medicinal materials and medicines. And have the ability to refine twelve furnaces and nine-turn purple gold elixirs at the same time. This is simply unimaginable. Of course, the alchemist can also refine only one furnace, and the excess part of the human body fruit can be taken to others, which is not a waste.
Why is it for others to take instead of the alchemist who refiners themselves? Because the human body fruit cannot last long after leaving the branches. It is necessary to start the furnace and refine the alchemy within two hours, so there is no time to sit and transform the medicinal power of the human body fruit. It is best to take the rest of the fruit for others.
The Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill refined in this way is the most magical, but it also has one disadvantage. That is, ordinary people and even ordinary practitioners cannot take it at all. If their cultivation is not in the realm of the earthly realm, taking this pill is equivalent to a fatal poison that melts the flesh and blood of the furnace.
Qingfeng asked Mei Zhenyi to replace the human body fruit alchemy with warm heart and cold chalcedony. The medicinal power is discounted, but it has the same benefit, that is, ordinary people can take it. Although the process is also very dangerous, as long as you are careful to protect the law, you will not be killed. Such a "reforming prescription" is very clever. The medicinal power does not necessarily mean that the stronger the better, it depends on the purpose of the medicine. If it is the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill in the original prescription, it will not only be difficult to refine, but also Bai Mudan, He Yougu, and others cannot take it at all, which also deviates from the original intention of Mei Zhenyi's alchemy.
Even if the medicinal power is discounted, the Nine-Turn Purple Golden Pill after the "reforming prescription" is still extremely magical.
First of all, it has the ability to change the furnace and cauldron. For those with a foundation of cultivation, it is equivalent to reincarnation and the furnace and cauldron are reborn. Even for ordinary people, it is equivalent to having a brand new body without defects, and staying forever in their lifetime. For those monsters who have turned into human form, taking this pill can have a truly transformed body and can also not lose their original special magical powers.
It also has a miraculous effect, that is, for those who have the ability to become a cultivator, if they fall to the samsara for various reasons, as long as their spiritual consciousness has not dissipated, no matter who is reincarnated, even after taking the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill, although they cannot immediately recover their cultivation in their previous life, they can recover the same body furnace as their previous life - as long as you are willing.
Since there is a pill recipe passed down from generation to generation, it means that someone has refined the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill in the original formula before. Mei Zhenyi speculated that the batch of Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pills that Xin Yuan Wukong stole from the Tushita Heaven Palace should be based on the original formula. Therefore, he has refined the immortal body of the Golden Immortal. As for where the Daozu obtained the human body fruit back then, Mei Zhenyi is not clear.
Speaking of the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill Recipe handed down by Sun Simiao, there are two schools of inheritance in the world. One is the Danxia School, and the other is the later disciple of Mei Zhenyi in Qingyi Mountain. There are still no pens left in the past, and the medicine is still written in the blood of the immortals.
Two annotations were added to the secret pill recipe of Qingyi Sanshan. One was behind Cao Huandan, which said "You can use Wen Yuchalcedony to replace it", and the other was behind the medicine, which said "You can use a thousand-year-old spiritual blood to replace it, and only one pill". At the end of the prescription, Mei Zhenyi also added a sentence, "This is the secondary prescription, and there is another prescription in the fairy world, which is also called Daluo Achievement Pill." These are all later words, so I won't mention it for now.
The above content was understood by Mei Zhenyi when she heard the Jiuling Yuansheng explain the explanation of the medicine. How could he figure out so many things at once? Don’t forget that he already has the cultivation of the Earth Immortal. Although he has just experienced the sea of suffering, he is not as good as a spiritual platform to deduce. He may be unfamiliar with deducing other things, and based on what he has learned, seen, and heard, he is still very comfortable deducing his best way of refining medicine.
Mei Zhenyi was deducing in Lingtaichung. Yueming, who was in the same seat, asked unexpectedly: "Fellow Taoist wants to refine the Nine-Turn Purple Golden Pill, but it is not for his own practice, but for saving people. This is similar to the actions of my ancestor of Taiyi Sect back then. I wonder who you are trying to save?"
"Luoyang Peony Flower God, her name is Bai Mudan." Mei Zhenyi answered and deduced it in Lingtaichung, saying the three words "Bai Mudan". Suddenly, the spiritual consciousness moved, and the spiritual realm of deduction was completely dispersed. For no reason, there was a very bad feeling. There was a thought that seemed to have penetrated into her mind out of thin air - something happened to Bai Mudan.
As he spoke, Mei Zhenyi's face suddenly changed. He stood up with one hand touching his forehead and holding the table with the other. Everyone noticed that Mei Zhenyi's changes, Zhiyan helped him and asked, "Zhenyi, what's wrong with you?"
"There is a feeling of spiritual enlightenment. Bai Mudan is not in good condition!" Mei Zhenyi gasped and replied. With the ability to deduce his cultivation, Lingtaichung often has a natural sense of sensing when encountering problems, which is called the Immortal Spiritual Enlightenment.
This kind of immortal spiritual enlightenment is not omnipotent, it is subject to many restrictions, and it also requires chances. For example, the inexplicable response to other people must be very familiar with you and can involve the thoughts. Mei Zhenyi is not very familiar with Bai Mudan, but she is very familiar with Xiaoqing. Bai Mudan can definitely involve his thoughts.
He came to Kunlun Fairyland to collect herbs because Bai Mudan was in trouble. At this time, he mentioned Bai Mudan. By chance, the spiritual sense suddenly moved and felt that something happened to Bai Mudan. This feeling is hard to describe, and it is hard to explain what is going on. It is a hazy sensation.
Zhiyan: "Since that's the case, we will quickly return to the world and go to Luoyang to see what's going on."
If something really happened to Bai Mudan, it was really not the time. The Pororama flower will not bloom in two years, and Mei Zhenyi has not yet refined the Nine-Turn Purple Golden Pill!
Last time he saw Bai Mudan. Although he was extremely weak and had no power to turn the world through his own practice, he could still hide in the quiet garden. With Jade Bone Fan and Zi Shizhi, there should be no danger within five years, so Mei Zhenyi thought of refining the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill to save her, and then changing the furnace and cauldron to let her escape from the flowers.
Everything was going well. Mei Zhenyi had just become an earthly immortal in the sea of suffering, and had harvested the thousand-year-old Mingsha to conquer the ten demon kings. Then she found Boruo Rama, and met Jiuling Yuansheng to explain the pill recipe. Her luck was extremely good. But Bai Mudan had an accident at this time, and she was really happy and sad. The exact thing was not clear, so she had to rush to Luoyang to find out.
Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan left without delay. Before leaving, they wrote an invitation to the ten demon kings of Longkong Mountain. They were invited to come to Qianyuan Mountain to quickly hear the Jiuling Yuan Holy Golden Immortal Dharma Assembly, and told them some precautions to do so. Don’t have unnecessary conflicts with other Kunlun monks.
They kept Aban for the time being and ordered: "Aban, you must listen to the words of the two immortals, Master Yuansheng, Feng Qing and Yueming, don't make trouble naughty and guard the Boruo Ramahua, and we will come back to pick you up after we finish our business." Then they hurriedly left Qianyuan Mountain and rushed to Yaochi, crossed the gateway of Kunlun Fairyland and returned to the world, and flew to Luoyang.
I experienced the journey and practiced so leisurely when I came, but I was so hurrying and eager when I went.
The world is already the second year of Zaichu in the Tang Dynasty (690 AD). After Mei Zhenyi left home and traveled, a lot of things happened in Luoyang.
Last year, a monk Faming made up four volumes of the "Dayun Sutra". In the scriptures, Empress Wu was called Maitreya and should be the Lord of Jambudvipa. The so-called "Janfuti" is a Sanskrit word with a wide meaning and can be extended to the meaning of "beautiful world". The so-called "Janfuti Lord" refers to the meaning of the emperor on earth. Empress Wu was very happy and ordered the promulgation of the world, and the construction of temples and collections of both Chang'an and Luoyang.
Then the Censor Fu Youyi invited nearly a thousand people from Guanzhong to form a joint letter calling on Empress Wu to ascend the throne and change the country's name to Zhou. Empress Wu rejected the letter, but promoted Fu Youyi to the official position.
As a result, the government and the country became lively. All officials, clans, vassal states, major gentry, monks and Taoists wrote letters again, "strongly requesting" Empress Wu from Fu Youyi's request, and even forced the palace to force the palace. Empress Wu was neither angry nor approved.
The Empress Wu admired Buddhism and everyone in the world knew that it would be fine for monks to write books, but what kind of fun are Taoists? This is called knowing the times and changing with the wind. Monks and Taoists may not be just watching. There are many ordinary people like Zhongli who have a identities and enjoy the treatment of offerings, far more than real monks. There were lustful monks like Feng Xiaobao in the Tang Dynasty, and there were also Taoists like Mei Zhenggan who only knew how to cheat money in modern times.
In fact, everyone can see clearly that although the court and the country are lively inside and outside, there is only one person on the ground, that is, the current emperor Li Dan. Although there have been sayings of abdication and abdication since ancient times, the father gave up the son to the son and the king abdicated the minister, but the son gave up the throne to the mother. It has never been heard of forever. It is neither abdication nor abdication. Unless it is a rebellion, there is no precedent of etiquette to refer to.
The New Year passed. Emperor Li Dan celebrated his 29th birthday and held a banquet in the Li Palace. The ministers met with courtesy, so they had the opportunity to meet the emperor who lived in seclusion. During the meal, someone spoke out bluntly and reminded the emperor to persuade Empress Wu to invite him from Fu Youyi to follow the will of heaven and the people.
Li Dan looked worried. After leaving the seat, he found an opportunity to find Mei Xiaolang, the Duke of Southern Lu, and asked privately: "Duke of Southern Lu is the prime minister of the three dynasties. He is loyal and has great contributions to the Tang Dynasty and will not harm me. How should I take my own plan now?"
Mei Xiaolang fell to the ground and replied carefully: "I dare not speak about the family affairs of the emperor. I only talk about my family affairs. When Emperor Gaozu raised an uprising, he established the Tang Dynasty. Many chiefs from all walks of life went to Chang'an and had many kings. But where are their nephews now? My father, King Nanlu, asked to cut off his descendants on his deathbed. Fortunately, I have achieved some achievements and was still the chief assistant of the three dynasties. I think that Your Majesty should think about the long-term plans of the Spring and Autumn Period."
Li Dan sighed and helped Mei Xiaolang up with his own hands and said, "I understand what Mei Gong means, but how can I do it for the long term? Moreover, this matter has never been heard of forever, and there is no rudeness to follow. What can you teach me?"
Mei Xiaolang: "Since ancient times, the emperor changed his surname and changed his words. This is all your words. Your Majesty should not force me to ask me again."
Li Dan was silent for a long time and finally waved: "I understand, you go."
Mei Xiaolang bowed and said, and the next day Li Dan gave a statement in the palace, so he should pay attention. His identity is the emperor, but the word "preface" is written by the land rather than "issuing an order", because the content is very special - I pray that Empress Wu would give her surname Wu and wish her son would follow her motherhood.
Didn’t Empress Wu like to change other people’s surnames? Then, even his son’s surname Di was changed. There are also cases among the people that the son followed his mother’s surname and reluctantly passed on. Empress Wu issued an imperial edict, and then Li Dan issued an imperial edict saying that since ancient times, the emperor changed his surname and the country changed his name and asked Empress Tian to ascend the throne. The country’s name was changed to Zhou.
Although it is also abdication, Li Dan's approach is much more clever, not just being willing to abdicate. He also wants to think about his own fate. He can think of his best self-protection strategy in doing so.
Why did we change the name of the country to Zhou? Because the surname "Wu" originated from the Zhou royal family, it was just like Li Tang who posthumously named Laozi as his ancestor. Empress Wu also posthumously named King Wen of Zhou as his ancestor. It seems legitimate to establish the name of the country to the Great Zhou.
Everyone was very happy at this point. Empress Wu issued an order to change Tang to Zhou and ascend the throne to the emperor himself. Wu Dan was not abolished, but he was demoted to the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou. Since ancient times, Wu Dan was the first one.
Emperor Wu not only changed the country's name, but also named himself, creating a word "Ming" and "Cong" with the name "Wu Zhi". That year, the Yuan Dynasty was changed to the first year of the Great Zhou Tianshu, and issued an order to amnesty the world. The order for amnesty was issued by Wenchangtai. After receiving the order, Mei Xiaolang asked: "Abuse the world, will the peony who was demoted to Luoyang by His Majesty if it is not forgiven?"
Emperor Wu had no grudge against peony flowers. To be honest, she used to like the most, and the most planted in the West Garden. She ordered her to bloom, but the peony was not blooming. Empress Wu was particularly angry in front of the ministers. The Hundred Flowers Banquet was for the ministers, and the Peony was also for the ministers to be demoted.
Now that he has ascended the throne, there is nothing to worry about. Emperor Wu was in a good mood and immediately replied: "Everyone is celebrated together, and the whole world is forgiven, and of course, peony flowers are also forgiven."
There were no peonies in Luoyang City, but on the next day, something strange happened. There were many peonies blooming in the mountains outside the city, and I don’t know where they emerged?
Some people like Fu Youyi and even expressed their auspiciousness, saying that the peony flowers knew that they had regretted themselves, and they welcomed spring blooming in the mountains and fields outside the city to celebrate the establishment of the Kingdom of Wu Emperor's ascendance to the throne. When Empress Wu was happy, she ordered people to transplant peonies from the mountains and fields outside the city to enter the Western Garden, and issued an order to be the head of a hundred flowers.
Some people have speculated on various possibilities. The most popular saying was that when the peony remains from outside the city were thrown out of the city, their vitality was tenaciously rooted in the mountains and fields, and finally they bloomed again. As for the inside story, only the flower god Bai Mudan himself knew. This happened when Mei Zhenyi arrived at Qianyuan Mountain, Kunlun Fairyland.
Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan flew into the sky. Seeing that they were not far from Luoyang City, they were about to fall to the clouds. Zhiyan suddenly pointed to the mountain below and said, "Zhenyi, look, what kind of flowers are blooming here?"
