In a small room not far from the burial place, Tian Luan was pacing back and forth in his room.
Although he knew that he didn't need to be anxious, and no matter how anxious it was, it wouldn't help, he just couldn't control his emotions, which was very rare for an immortal who had ascended to the level of Taihuang Emperor Zengtian.
It's no wonder, after all, Tian Luan is not a mortal practitioner who achieved enlightenment in an ordinary way.
Tian Luan was originally from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. His family had been officials for many times. By his generation, he was already rich in wealth. However, for some unknown reason, all five or six brothers died before the age of thirty, so he lived to be two years old.
When I was fifteen years old, my mother was extremely worried. She prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha everywhere, but she still couldn't feel relieved.
Tian Luan often heard people say that people who practice Taoism have the art of immortality, so he decided to go to Huashan Mountain to look for the practitioners.
Since all the young people in the family died early, Tian Luan was frightened, so he was very sincere along the way. Still dozens of miles away from the foot of Huashan Mountain, he met a Huangguan Taoist coming out of the mountain, so he cautiously bowed to him and expressed his sincerity.
I have the ambition to seek immortality and hope that Taoist priests can point out the path in the mountains.
The Taoist priest Huang Guan looked at Tian Luan for a few times and saw that he was sincere in seeking the Tao. He pointed to the cypress tree by the road and replied casually: "Why go to the deep mountains and old forests to look for it? This is the elixir of longevity, but it is not effective. In the end, it is still
It just depends on your own will."
Tian Luan was surprised, but now he was in a hurry to seek medical treatment. He had never tried any folk remedies. Now he seemed to have met an immortal fate. How could he let go of the opportunity? He quickly asked for the details of the immortal prescription.
After he wrote down the formula, the immortal was nowhere to be found, so Tian Luan went home directly without even going up Mount Hua.
After returning to Chang'an, Tian Luan bought a lot of fresh cypress leaves, exposed them to the sun, ground them into powder, and swallowed them with water.
He was determined to control his food intake. He took it for sixty or seventy days in a row, but it had no effect. He just often felt irritable and feverish, but he still insisted on taking the cypress leaf powder.
After taking it for more than two years, Tian Luan began to have headaches and fever. Every time he had a fever, his eyes would become swollen and painful, his head would hurt as if it was about to burst, and he would have sores all over his body.
When Tian's mother saw her son like this, she felt very distressed and cried: "Originally, I sought immortality to extend my life, but now I am going to be killed by this medicine!"
Tian Luan also felt that there was something wrong with this medicine, but he had already taken it to this point. The sunk cost was too high. Even if he stopped taking the medicine now, he probably wouldn't live long. It was better to take it to the end and take a gamble, so he made up his mind to take it one day at a time.
Keep taking the medicine without stopping.
When he was five or six years old, Tian Luan suffered from a headache and a crack opened in his forehead. Since then, the skull has gradually separated, and gray-white ravines can occasionally be seen under the scalp.
In 1978, his fever became more severe, and his whole body was as hot as if it was on fire. No one could even get close to him. The sores on his body all festered, and pus flowed all over his body. When it dried, he looked like
It wraps the skin like glue, and the whole body exudes a strong fragrance of cypress leaves.
Tian's mother felt that her son was about to die, so she took care of him personally every day and shed tears at night.
One day, Tian Luan suddenly said: "I feel better today. I want to take a bath."
So Tian's mother ordered someone to bring the bathtub into the room and pour hot water into it. Several servants went up together and carefully lifted Tian Luan into the bathtub.
Since he got sick, he has been unable to sleep in pain for more than ten days. Now that he is much better, he asked the left and right to close the door and not make any noise to disturb him. In this way, he soon fell asleep in the bathtub and stayed asleep.
For three days, I couldn't stop breathing.
Three days later, Tian Luan passed away quietly in his sleep. His face remained unchanged, his body did not decay, and his corpse turned into an immortal. The fragrance of his death filled the room, and the sound of music could be heard in the air.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw several yellow crowns holding banners, leading him to ascend to Taixu, pay homage to the Supreme Being, and pay homage to all the ancient immortals.
When the immortals in heaven saw Tian Luan, they smiled and said, "Is the Immortal Bai Ye here?"
Only then did Tian Luan realize that he was already in the Immortal Class, and his divine status was that of Bo Ye Immortal.
Tianting taught Tian Luan some celestial arts, and engraved his name in gold characters on a jade plaque, which he hid in the Shangqing Palace.
Then a fairy official told Tian Luan: "You should find a place to practice first. When there is a vacancy in the rank of Tianguan, I will call you back."
Tian Luan had no choice but to find a deserted place in Taixu to practice slowly, but after waiting for 123 years, no immortal envoy came to call him.
He went to inquire about the news. It turned out that most of the people who became immortals by accident like him just gave away some magic skills and sent them away. If they didn't have great abilities or great merits, they wouldn't be able to fill it even if they waited for thousands of years.
Job Que.
He had no other choice, so he hung out among gods and humans. While practicing, he cheated and deceived people, which actually gave him a good opportunity.
In the remote Taihuang Emperor Zengtian, there was a small country called Qunu Kingdom, which had always been in constant friction with its eastern neighbor Magadha. In order to win the war, the leader of Qunu Kingdom, Jakande, invited all the gods and gods to win the war, but he failed.
Tian Luan saw the right opportunity and deceived him, so that King Nagakand was so shocked that he was invited back to his country, treated as a guest of honor, and called him "The Great Immortal of Cypress Leaf".
At that time, Princess Shanyuejida, the daughter of King Jakand, eloped with people from the enemy country. The king was very upset and asked Tian Luan to find a way to bring his daughter back.
In order to seek the position of national master of Qunu Kingdom, Tian Luan had to design a plan to rescue Princess Shanyue Jida from Balian Fuyi.
He secretly investigated Balianfuyi and found that the real owner of the city was not the city lord Naraoshizi Viraja.
Viraja was actually a noble of the Magadha Kingdom. Because he had made meritorious service by leading troops in battles, the King of Magadha gave him Balianfuyi as a fiefdom. In fact, this city was taught by the mysterious sect Bishecha in the city.
controlled.
So Tian Luan changed his name to "Mitaluo" and tried every means to get in touch with the Bisheze sect. By paying bribes, he became an "old friend" and "honored guest" of the Bisheze sect, but it was not with Qizhen.
Gold, silver, colored glaze, coral, clams, red pearls and agate are common dharma currencies in the world, but they are not precious to the Bishecha sect, which secretly controls most of Magadha.
.
Tian Luan discovered during a long period of exploration after contact that the Bishezhe Sect was originally a corpse-eating cult. It was too slow to wait for corpses from natural death, and the cult had always lacked sources of corpses.
So he thought of a way. With a country on his back, he generously supplied a large amount of something even more ominous and decadent than gold.
Ever since Master Mitra came here, corpses collected from battlefields and tombs poured in, filling the temple with extraordinary abundance. The Hungry Ghost King Buddha has never been short of food.
As a briber, Tian Luan was not only able to walk freely in Balian Fuyi to explore military information and the current situation of Princess Shanyue Jida, but he also took the opportunity to learn many secret spells taught by Bisheze.
