The sun slightly raised its head in the eastern sky. Li Hexiang looked at the energetic young junior brother, not feeling sleepy at all, and continued to tell the story.
For more than ten years after that, Li Hexiang lived an ordinary life, and his wife Yang was also a very virtuous husband and godson. They watched their child Li Changshu grow up slowly under the red flag.
In the year when Li Hexiang turned 40, a catastrophic movement broke out across the country. As teachers, Li Hexiang and his wife naturally could not escape people's judgment, not to mention the fact that Li Hexiang was from a security corps. In that scene
During the movement, Li Hexiang's wife couldn't bear the humiliation and jumped into the river. The river was so fast that not even a body was found. Li Changshu, who was only a teenager at the time, was also sent to the farm with his father to receive reform.
At this moment, Liu Jinyan found him. After more than ten years of not seeing each other, Old Liu was still the kind, fat old man, but Li Hexiang looked particularly vicissitudes after experiencing the pain of his wife's death, and suddenly looked much older.
After learning about the situation, Liu Jinyan found connections with the higher-ups to clear Li Hexiang's name, in order not to delay Li Changshu's future. Later, Li Changshu was taken away by Liu Jinyan, who promised Li Hexiang to take good care of his children.
Li Hexiang, on the other hand, was controlled by Old Man Liu to a village on the outskirts of Chang'an. When he got there, someone would come looking for him.
Li Hexiang got on the train going north. The train stopped and went for a few days, and finally arrived at the place Liu Jinyan was talking about.
Li Hexiang, who was unfamiliar with the place, looked at the barren and desolate land and didn't know what to do. He stood at the entrance of the village and didn't know where to go.
At this moment, an old man in Taoist robes who looked to be in his seventies came forward and said to him: "You must be Li Hexiang."
The middle-aged Li Hexiang has lost the enthusiasm of his youth and has become much more mature and stable. After experiencing the pain of the death of his wife, he has shown the vicissitudes of time and has become much more restrained.
Li Hexiang replied calmly to the old Taoist in front of him: "Yes, I am Li Hexiang. Who are you?"
The old Taoist in front of me said without much nonsense: "Liu Jinyan is my junior brother, you can just call me senior."
At this time, Li Hexiang realized that the visitor was Old Man Liu's senior brother, and he immediately bowed respectfully. Master Tianfeng was not surprised, and then told him the purpose of his trip.
Over the past ten years, Li Hexiang has not lost anything in his study of Xuanmen Taoism. Old man Liu would go back to visit him every few years and give him some pointers. Gradually, Li Hexiang also felt grateful for Beiming and knew a little bit about it.
It turns out that the purpose of this trip is to follow the Tianfeng Old Road to an ancient tomb.
This tomb is not an ordinary tomb. Although there are tombs around Chang'an, it is known as the "Emperor's Tomb Concentration Camp". You can dig out the emperor in any hole. In those years, the control was not strict, and many tomb robbers were mostly active in this area.
.However, this is also a job that involves losing your head. If you are caught, you will be shot. So at that time, the business of tomb robbing was really starving the brave to death and starving to death the timid.
At first, Li Hexiang felt that there was something wrong with this matter. After all, he had been a people's teacher for many years and was a regular person who abided by laws and regulations. However, when he looked at the face of the old Taoist Tianfeng beside him, he had a calm and fairy-like appearance.
Slowly relieved.
There was another person traveling with them, named Hou San, who was said to be the successor of the serious Mojin School Captain and a close friend of Tianfeng Lao Dao. This person seemed to be in the same grade as Li Hexiang, but he was short in stature and had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
He doesn't look like a good person, but he is Senior Tianfeng's friend after all, so Li Hexiang is naturally very polite.
Later they found out that what they were about to enter was not a Han tomb or a Tang tomb, but a Ming Dynasty tomb. The owner of this tomb was not a prince or general, but an alchemist.
Since ancient times, alchemists have been very rare in this profession, and few are famous. Alchemists are mostly famous for refining elixirs and collecting medicines to seek immortality, and they are also very proficient in medicine, divination, astrology, and fortune-telling. And the tomb they want to explore is
The owner is a leader in this field.
A close disciple of Shao Yuanjie, a famous Taoist priest in the Ming Dynasty.
Speaking of Shao Yuanjie, many people don't understand it now, but one of his apprentices pushed alchemy to the pinnacle of that era. This person was the famous alchemist Tao Zhongwen, who was favored by Emperor Jiajing. And this
The owner of the tomb, Li Liangchu, was in the same line as Tao Zhongwen. He was even better at alchemy, so he was naturally a master in this art.
Li Liangchu was different from Tao Zhongwen. He did not want to associate with high-ranking officials and he only wanted to become an immortal. So he lived in seclusion in the mountains near Chang'an and made alchemy all the year round in order to seek immortality.
The purpose of going down to his tomb this time is also to complete a piece of karma that Tianfeng Lao Dao owed many years ago.
It turns out that many years ago, the old Taoist Tianfeng suffered serious internal injuries in a battle with the Holy Girl of the White Lotus Sect. The Holy Girl of the White Lotus is also very profound and was not the opponent of the Old Taoist Tianfeng. However, the world is dangerous and the White Lotus Sect has been prepared for it.
, the sneak attack was successful. Although in the end Tianfeng Taoist still used the frost sword to kill the saint.
The young Taoist Master Tianfeng had only been in the world for a few years. However, the news that he had killed the White Lotus Saint quickly made him shine in Xuanmen and became famous for a while.
However, Tianfeng also suffered serious internal injuries and almost died. Fortunately, he met Qingxuan Zhenren, the leader of Hengshan Tiandan Sect, who was wandering around in the past, and saved the young Tianfeng Lao Dao.
Master Qingxuan saw that Tianfeng had serious internal injuries and was in critical condition, so he saved Tianfeng by parting with an ancestral Xuantian Pill. Later, he learned that some of the pill formulas of the Tianfeng Sect had been reserved for use by Li Liang in the Ming Dynasty.
Real money and silver were exchanged, so that a large part of the inheritance was lost.
In the end, in order to repay Tiandan Sect for saving his life, Master Tianfeng promised Master Qingxuan to help him find the whereabouts of the elixir. Master Qingxuan was also moved and said that as long as the elixir can be found, whenever someone comes from Beiming, they must put aside their sectarian opinions.
, and taught him all the alchemy skills of the Tiandan Sect.
When I heard this, I could more or less understand the purpose of my trip to Hengshan.
It turned out that the great grandfather wanted to go to Hengshan Mountain to learn the art of alchemy.
Huan Xin suddenly realized it, and then asked: "Did you succeed in going to the tomb?"
Li Hexiang sighed and said: "Success is a success, but it took ten years."
It was already dawn, and Huanxin saw tiredness appearing on Li Hexiang's face, who had not slept all night, so the two stopped telling stories. Huanxin went out and bought a lot of breakfast for Li Hexiang. After the two had finished breakfast
They each lay on the bed. After all, they hadn't slept all night. The early morning sunlight on their faces was still very comfortable, and Huan Xin quickly fell asleep.
In the dream, he dreamed of the boy in white again.
The young man held the purple-clothed girl in his arms and seemed to be in pain. The young man anxiously rode his horse Bai, taking the purple-clothed young man with him, and said anxiously: "It's a pity that my alchemy skills were lost many years ago in Beiming, otherwise I would definitely be able to let you
A masterful rejuvenator."
On the vast land, the young man and the girl in purple were galloping around the world.
