There are so many successful candidates and even number one scholars in this world, and there are also many related articles. For a library in a foreign country, it is really not something worth paying attention to.

The reason why this story was collected by the National Library in Mumbai and made known to many people is because of the weirdness and abnormality of the story itself from the inside out - when this story was collected and became somewhat famous in a small area, "The Story of the Ceres"

》Not yet in the world, not yet famous, not yet so influential.

It is the incompatibility between the identity of this person and the article itself.

The style and format of the article, the artistic level and the thoughts it carries, are greatly separated from the author's identity and experience, as well as some other poems and articles left during his lifetime. There is no connection at all, as if it was written by two people.

But anyone who has read that book will never understand how a Juren could write such a book. The plot is fragmented, the language is straightforward and confusing, the logic is confusing, and it is impossible to distinguish the priorities. I have written a few sentences here because of one sentence.

The conversation went off somewhere, important things and important plots were mentioned in vague words, and many unimportant places were filled with descriptions of many emotions.

What a terrible story to write.

To exaggerate, anyone who can read can write better than this.

The only similarity may be the Taoist Taboo "The Story of the Goddess" that Zhang Huaisu also wrote in his later years. It is completely different from his own experience, what he has learned and felt in the past, and has a huge separation.

It is precisely for this reason that after "The Story of the Goddess" was made public, I checked it out after getting to know it better, and found out that there is such a connection between the two books and their authors.

The other thing is that the content of this book is weird.

This book was taken out by Zhang Juren when he was dying in his later years. He regarded it as the most important to him, the most valuable writing, and the last work that his descendants should treasure as a family heirloom.

It is not a fable about a family member who did not follow the right path or indulged in dandyism, which led to the tragic ending of his family and his family.

It is not some one-sided extraction, but represents part of the laws of social operation or the understanding of human nature.

It is not the simplest chopstick that can break 10 chopsticks and it can be broken repeatedly. It is a good word to advise future generations and brothers to work together and live in harmony between husband and wife.

It is about a young man who became a monk and worshiped in a Taoist palace, experienced a strange and unspeakable horror experience in the Taoist palace, and then escaped from the Taoist palace.

The content of the story is probably...

There was a man named Tianbao in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. It was said that he had Taoist skills, could summon birds and beasts, was good at making elixirs, and had the method of immortality. When he was 1,700 years old, he told Confucius to kill Shaozhengmao, but he thought it was too early to remonstrate. Han Chu became Gao

During the stalemate, he climbed high to watch the battle, which was very famous.

When the kings and ministers heard about it, they all believed it except Cheng Hao. In order to seek immortality, they built Tianbao Palace to serve him.

There was a family named Zhang near Tianbao Palace. He had a son who was smart since he was a child and knew a lot of words. He was able to enter the Palace of Eternal Life and became a Taoist boy who burned fire.

The Hall of Eternal Life is the alchemy room, which is the most important industry of Tianbao Palace and the reason why it thrives and is so popular.

It can be said that the entire Tianbao Palace is actually a huge alchemy workshop with the Eternal Life Palace as the core.

If it weren't for the fire-burning boy and the alchemist of the Changsheng Palace who also need to study Taoist scriptures, rituals, meditate and burn incense every day besides refining alchemy, there are also some in Tianbao Palace who are responsible for cleaning, receiving believers and pilgrims, and focusing on Taoist research.

The true Taoist of Yangdao Palace can directly rename Tianbao Palace to Changsheng Palace, or call Changsheng Palace as Tianbao Palace.

There is only one type of elixir that is mainly refined in the Eternal Life Palace, and that is the Eternal Life Pill. This is also the origin of the name of the Eternal Life Palace.

It is said that this elixir can make people live forever.

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it’s definitely precious.

First of all, if you want to make the Immortality Pill, you need a lot of medicinal materials, hundreds of them.

What is placed in the porcelain vase is like silver mercury flowing like water, golden legendary gold, some colored metal, or red cinnabar, a Ganoderma lucidum as big as a face, or some tree like a horned dragon.

Roots, or it is impossible to tell what kind of monster it is. From the bones alone, we can guess that the original body must be abnormally huge, extremely ferocious, and it feels like a stone when held...

Everything is not an ordinary and easy-to-obtain thing.

For these medicinal materials, there is even a manufacturing bureau, and the bureau should be collected all over the country, in the barbarians, and in Annan overseas. There is an endless stream of boats and boats on the Yangtze River in the Huaihe River, and there is an endless stream of cattle and horses leading to Tianbao Palace.

The motorcade formed a line.

Compared with the endless variety of raw materials, the output of longevity pills is very low.

It often takes more than a dozen or even dozens of refining attempts to achieve success once.

Each refining requires the previously mentioned medicinal materials, or those materials, to be processed separately, weighed according to the recipe, and then placed in order in the thick medicine cauldron in the Changsheng Pavilion.

Boil.

The job of the fire boy is to control the temperature of the fire at this time. When should the fire be small, when should the fire be high, and how long should it be burned without making any mistakes?

The alchemist uses a variety of primitive but somewhat exquisite techniques to purify and filter the medicine according to time.

Finally, a large pot of medicinal materials was boiled until only the medicinal embryos the size of a fist remained.

The preparations for alchemy are completed in one go.

The entire process of refining the elixir from the embryo to the elixir of longevity, what specific techniques are required, and what rituals are required, are only mastered by Taoist Tianbao in the entire Tianbao Palace.

The real owner of Tianbao Palace will only show up at this time.

On weekdays, he stayed in a sealed palace in the northwest corner of the Taoist Palace. The windows and doors were all wrapped in black cloth, and he had no name and no name.

It is forbidden for anyone to approach or disturb any place. Anyone found to be even slightly close, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will be severely punished as long as they are discovered.

Some people say it’s because there is an unknown and strange ancient god enshrined in the palace, and the palace owner worships the god there every day.

It is also said that there is a special alchemy furnace inside, which may be the divine cauldron left by King Yu, because every immortality elixir is administered in this palace, and if you don't leave, you are worried that the treasure will be stolen.

No matter what it is, what is certain is that the palace contains a huge secret that can be said to be the most important secret of Tianbao Palace. When Tianbao Palace was built, that palace was built earlier than the Changsheng Palace, the core of Tianbao Palace.

You can see it.

Every time it is refined, the Taoist priests from the Changsheng Hall and many other elixir chambers wait at the entrance of the hall.
