The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 92 Time does not change, I am history

In the attic in the mountains, there were three or two figures at this time.

In front of the attic, under the shade of a tree, a pale boy was lying unconscious, barely breathing.

Zhu Yingtai was dressed in a blue Taoist robe and a scholar's scarf, and her appearance made it difficult to tell whether she was a man or a woman.

Liang Yue sat cross-legged under a tree, closed his eyes, regulated his breathing, and circulated his internal energy.

"What's the condition of the child?" Zhu Yingtai only took a glance and came to a rough conclusion, and finally confirmed it.

After traveling for several years and under Liang Yue's personal instruction, his medical skills were no less than those of Ge Hong.

"Continuous vomiting, fever in the head..." The dignitaries were worried.

Zhu Yingtai took out three pills and two potions.

"Take one Qingliu Pill and one set of antipyretic patch every day and you will recover."

"Thank you, Immortal Biyou!" The nobleman thanked him repeatedly, and then asked, "How much is the medicine?"

Zhu Yingtai took one look at the man's clothes and instantly determined the price, saying with a smile, "Five strings of cash a pair, a total of twenty-five strings of cash."

The nobleman quickly asked his servant to bring the money.

The characteristic of the Biyou Immortal of Mount Li is that he will "serve different prices according to the person". If someone's clothes are gorgeous, he will ask for a high price.

He never kept the money he earned for himself, but gave it to the poor people at the foot of the mountain.

That’s where the fame comes from.

Instead, celebrities compete with each other to see who has the highest price.

Not far away, Kou Qianzhi watched all this quietly.

"Qing Liudan... a southern accent... could it be from the Ge family?"

After everyone had left, Kou Qianzhi stepped forward to ask for a meeting.

"My name is Kou Qianzhi, courtesy name Fuzhen. May I ask where you two are from?"

"It turns out to be Kou Qianzhi. My name is Lingbao and she is Biyou. We came from Kuaiji." Liang Yue stood up lazily. He had lived in seclusion in the mountains for a long time, so there was no need to bother with irrelevant etiquette.

"Huiji? Do you know Liang Yue?" Kou Qianzhi's eyes lit up.

The couple smiled at each other, and Liang Yue said, "I am Liang Yue."

"Are you the famous Liang Shanbo?" Kou Qianzhi looked at the man in surprise.

"Who else could it be if not me? But how did I become so famous?"

Liang Yue was confused. When did he become famous in the North?
Kou Qianzhi saw Liang Yue's confusion and explained, "When Senior Ge Hong traveled to Guanzhong to preach to us, he mentioned you. All the alchemists in Guanzhong who have studied Qingliu Dan know your name."

It was not until today that he knew Liang Yue’s Taoist name was Lingbao.

"So that's how it is. Where did Senior Ge Hong pass away?"

"Huashan, but the remains of Senior Ge Hong have been transported back to Jurong."

Kou Qianzhi usually practiced in Songshan Mountain. This time he was preparing to go to Huashan Mountain. On the way, he visited an alchemist and met an acquaintance.

"By the way, Immortal Ge left something for you. He said you would come and get it in the future."

"What is it?" Liang Yue was a little curious.

"I don't know. I am buried in Huashan."

Liang Yue looked at Zhu Yingtai and said, "Yingtai, would you like to go to Mount Hua?"

"what ever."

Zhu Yingtai said it didn't matter.

Afterwards, the two packed up and went down the mountain. Before leaving, Liang Yue burned down the attic and waited until the fire was out before leaving.

At the foot of the mountain, a convoy was heading up the mountain.

"Who among you is the Lingbao Taoist?"

A eunuch with a feminine face got off the carriage.

"The emperor is ill, and I invite you two to come and see him."

"Please tell me your symptoms, there is no need to come over."

The eunuch briefly described the symptoms.

Liang Yue took out three red pills and said, "This is the Ten-fold Tonic Pill. Just take one and you will be back to normal."

The eunuch took the pill doubtfully and immediately took his men away.

Imperial doctors are usually under direct control, but Liang Yue and his wife are too famous and have prestige among the Qiang people, so the eunuchs dare not act rashly.

The three of them walked down the mountain.

Kou Qianzhi was somewhat curious and asked, "Does this pill really have the effect you said?"

"It contains a strange poison that is colorless and tasteless. After taking it, all diseases will disappear, but you will die suddenly within half a year."

Kou Qianzhi was silent for a moment, then said:

"Yao Xing was respectful to scholars and respected Chinese studies. He should not be treated like this."

Liang Yue said:
"No, Fu Jian and Yao Xing were just barbarian monarchs. Their birth determined that they had to use their small clans to bully the big clans."

"When the barbarians expanded, they treated the Han people with courtesy. If they were to unify the world, they would certainly suppress the Han people."

Whether the barbarians are kind or cruel depends on whether their purpose is to nibble away or to devour.

Therefore, no matter how wise and benevolent the Hu Lu monarch is, he will not be recognized by Liang Yue.

Unless they abandon their barbarian culture and completely integrate into China at the cost of national extinction.

"That makes sense." Kou Qianzhi understood a little.

On the way, they talked about the failure of Taiping Dao and the reforms of Lingbao Sect.

Kou Qianzhi seemed to have been enlightened. Why couldn't he create a new Tianshi Dao?

"The barbarians are superstitious about immortality, so why not let them renovate the temples? This can also be regarded as promoting Chinese culture."

When it was dark, the three of them arrived at Huashan.

The dangerous mountain road could not stop the three people with internal skills. They quickly climbed the mountain and saw three thatched houses on the top of the mountain. The furniture inside was covered with dust.

"Wang Wang!"

At this time, Xiaotian arrived in a hurry.

"Can this dog recognize the road?" Kou Qianzhi looked at the big black dog in surprise.

"This is the dog that howls at the sky."

"Good name."

Kou Qianzhi came under the tree, dug out the jade box he had hidden earlier, and presented it to Liang Yue.

Liang Yue opened it and saw a ball the size of an egg lying inside. It was bright red in color with a jade stone shaped like a pupil in the middle.

"Phoenix gall?" Liang Yue asked in surprise.

This thing is actually phoenix gall?
He recalled the recipes for elixirs that Bao Liang had given him. Among them, there was one recipe called Phoenix Gallbladder Rejuvenating Pill. Taking this medicine would keep one's youthful appearance.

Unexpectedly, Ge Hong found this thing.

"What is the use of this thing?" Kou Qianzhi asked curiously.

Liang Yue closed the lid and sighed, "This is the phoenix gall that never changes with time and never ages."

Life span may change, but appearance remains the same.

"This is good." Zhu Yingtai said with a smile
At least it can reduce people's lamentations about aging in their later years.

From then on, Liang Yue and Zhu Yingtai settled in a relatively flat area at the foot of the mountain.

On weekdays, Liang Yue makes elixirs and studies internal skills.

Zhu Yingtai spends her time treating patients and saving lives.

This stay lasted for a year.

This year, Liang Yue is fifty years old.

Zhu Yingtai became famous. People who believed in Taoism called her the Holy Mother of Mount Hua, and people who believed in Buddhism called her the Goddess of Avalokitesvara.

Liang Yue stood by the lake, looking at the calm water, his face reflected in the water.

His aging progressed, his temples turned gray, and the wrinkles on his face became more obvious.

Although he looks younger than the average person in his fifties, his age is already evident.

"Wang Wang!"

Outside the thatched hut, Xiaotian shouted loudly.

Liang Yue hurried home and saw that the fire in the Tianshi Cauldron was burning brightly and bursts of purple mist were floating in the air.

Go forward and turn off the fire, and open the lid of the tripod.

Two red, translucent pills appeared.

"I have finally made the Phoenix Rejuvenating Pill."

Liang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yingtai!"

He called Zhu Yingtai.

"Is the elixir ready?" Zhu Yingtai's eyes lit up and she was eager to try.

"It's done."

After saying that, Liang Yue took it immediately.

Wow!
In an instant, it seemed as if time went back and the course of time reversed.

White hair turns black and your face becomes younger.

On the other side, Zhu Yingtai also took her own pill.

The two of them appeared to be around twenty years old, looking at each other as if they were in school back then.

“I feel a lot younger.”

In fact, it is an illusion. The appearance remains unchanged and the body is still that of a middle-aged person.

"Me too. But this is too conspicuous. I'd better disguise myself in front of acquaintances."

"Ah."

After looking younger, my mentality becomes a lot more relaxed.

The next day, early morning.

Liang Yue bids farewell to Kou Qianzhi.

"Where are you going, sir?" Kou Qianzhi was a little at a loss.

"Tuoba Wei."

After traveling around the world, the only thing missing was the Tuoba Wei Kingdom.

The Heavenly Master Seal happens to be in this place, and Liang Yue plans to go to Wei State to get the seal.

Then the six treasures of the Heavenly Master are complete.

"Take care, both of you." Kou Qianzhi said solemnly.

"Fellow Taoist, take care!"

The two men went down the mountain, mounted their horses, and disappeared at the end of the official road.

On the way, the two took off their disguises and turned into young men and women.

Wow…

Pigeons flew from the forest and circled around the Golden Crow.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Liang Yue took the letter off the pigeon's leg. It turned out to be a letter from Zong Ai. There was an address on it, but no reason.

"Let's go over and have a look."

……

Qinghe County.

At this time, a shocking massacre was unfolding in the home of Yuan, an ordinary aristocratic family in Qinghe.

More than 200 people, all died tragically in a pool of blood.

The braided Xianbei general who was in the lead watched all this coldly, holding a black silk handkerchief in his hand, on which was written beautiful words. It was a letter from a woman to her lover, saying that the two had secretly agreed to spend their lives together, and that the son might be her lover's.

The handkerchief was an item searched out of the Yuan family, and its owner was suspected to be the current emperor's concubine, Du, the former fiancée of the eldest son of the Yuan family.

He looked at the little servant boy hiding not far away and the eight-year-old boy beside him.

The boy looked confused and terrified.

Soon, all the Yuan family members were killed, and eight subordinates rushed over from various places to gather.

"very good."

The Xianbei leader drew out his scimitar, and his figure was as ghostly as a ghost. He took advantage of his eight men's inattention and quickly slit their throats.

After killing his men, the leader walked slowly towards the boy with a knife in hand, blood dripping from the tip of the knife and murderous intent in his eyes.

"Dugu Ren, what are you doing?"

The boy stepped back.

"Fuli, you are a descendant of the Han people. I will kill you. I will go back and report to His Majesty, and then come down to accompany you."

"Impossible!" the boy couldn't believe it.

Wow!
At this moment, a figure crossed over the wall.

The visitor was a young man.

Zong Ai, who was hiding not far away and pretending to be terrified, trembled.

“Master…” Zong Ai murmured to himself.

Master really has the secret to maintaining his youthful appearance. I haven’t seen him for several years, but he looks younger.

The master placed his right hand on the leader's head and inserted his five fingers into the man's scalp.

The leader's face turned pale and his whole body shook like a sieve. After a moment, he died with blood gushing out of all his orifices.

Liang Yue clapped his hands and wiped the blood with the leader's clothes.

"This Heaven Stealing Technique has been somewhat effective."

You can absorb internal energy for about five or six years out of twenty years, so you won’t have to worry about internal energy depletion in the future.

Liang Yue came up to the boy and asked, "Little Hu Lu, what's your name?"

Just now he used his divine sense to get a general idea, but he just wanted to confirm it.

"Tuoba Tao..." the boy retorted, "I am not a barbarian, I am a Xianbei."

"That's the Xianbei barbarian."

Liang Yue was slightly distracted and thought of some possibilities.

Tuoba Tao of the Northern Wei Dynasty was a famous emperor in the history of the Xianbei. He promoted sinicization and believed in Taoism.

If I hadn't come, Tuoba Tao would have died on the spot and there would have been no chance of survival.

Zong Ai would not save the Hu Lu prince. He would rather the Hu Lu people kill each other and then run away to tell the world about this scandal.

What happened to Tuoba Tao today reminded him of Liu Yu back then.

Perhaps there is no so-called original trajectory of history; history is determined by people.

While joining history, we are also creating history invisibly.

He is contemporary and also history.
