Tang Xuanzong During the middle age, there was a pair of friends, one named Tao Taibai and the other named Yin Zixu. Both of them like Taoism, so they often visit famous mountains and seek immortals to visit Taoism.
Once, the two of them took fine wines and wines to climb the Furong Peak of Mount Hua to explore the horizon, searching for mysterious foreign lands everywhere. When I was tired of walking, I rested under a big pine tree.
the two were chatting while drinking fine wine, and they heard a burst of laughter coming from the branches above their heads. The two were stunned, and quickly got up and looked up. I saw the pine branches densely and I couldn't see a single figure. The two thought to themselves that they had encountered the mountain spirit monster, so they plucked up their courage and asked, "Who is it? Can you come down to have a drink together?" A burst of laughter came from the depths of the pine needles, saying, "We are not the mountain spirit wood charm. We are from Qin Dynasty . Because we smelled the fragrance of the wine of the two, we came to take a look. But we were in a weird shape, which might scare the two, so we didn't dare to show up rashly. Please wait, let's go back to the cave and change our clothes and come over."
Tao Yin and the others were so eager that they could not get it, so they waited respectfully. After a while, a man in ancient clothes and a woman in colorful clothes with a ring-shaped bun came to the pine tree. Tao Yin and the others hurriedly paid a visit and invited people to sit down and drink.
The four of them drank together, and Tao Taibai asked curiously when the man in ancient costume became an immortal? The man in ancient costume introduced, "I am a servant of the Qin Dynasty. I was originally a from the Qin State. When I was ten years old, I happened to catch up with Qin Shihuang and like magical arts and seek immortal medicines. Because I was bewitched by the alchemist Xu Fu , I collected 500 boys and girls, so I was selected and took a boat out of East China Sea to find the fairy mountain. The wind and waves on the sea were high and the waves were rushing, and the boat was destroyed and people died. I was worried that I would be buried in the belly of the fish, so I thought of a way and escaped by chance.
After returning to my hometown, I changed my name and became a Confucian scholar. Unexpectedly, a few years later, Qin Shihuang burned books and buried scholars. I was unfortunately arrested again. I was about to be killed, so I thought of a way and escaped by chance. After
, I changed my name and became a bricklayer. Unexpectedly, Qin Shihuang built Great Wall , starting from Lintao in the west and the sea in the east. As a craftsman, I was arrested to build the Great Wall. That Yanbei was frozen in cold weather, and the labor was hard, and many craftsmen were exhausted to death. I thought about it again A way, I escape by chance. After I returned, I changed my name and became a stonemason. But unexpectedly, I caught Qin Shihuang's death and wanted to drill , Lishan , and build an imperial tomb. As a stonemason, I was arrested to build an underground imperial tomb. But any craftsman who built the tomb of the emperor would be buried in the tomb in the end. When I saw that it was not good, I thought of another way and escape by chance.
After these four times, I almost died and lived. I felt that life in the world was too difficult, so I escaped to this mountain . Only by taking pine resin and tree fruits can we prolong our life. The woman's surname is Mao, a palace maid from the Qin Dynasty, was buried with Qin Shihuang. I escaped from the imperial tomb of Mount Li and hid in this mountain. I don't know how many years have passed since then? "
Tao Yin and both heard this and replied: "From Qin to the present, the orthodox dynasty has been through nine generations, which has lasted for more than a thousand years. During this period, there were countless rise and fall of the big and small kingdoms. "The man in ancient costume and the woman in colorful clothes sighed and sighed.
and the other two asked again: "I am lucky enough to meet a great immortal. I believe it is a destined opportunity. I don't know if I can tell us about the Golden Elixir Way to cultivate the Golden Elixir Way?"
between the Xiaoyao Mountains and Forests
ancient costume man said: "I was also an ordinary mortal. I was only able to cut off the desires of ordinary people and eat the fruits of trees. Over time, the hair on my body turned green. I don't think there is any difference between life and death, immortals and ordinary people. Every day, I am adjacent to birds and beasts, play with apes and , and fly freely among the mountains and forests. I did it without realizing it. I really don't know what the Golden Elixir Way is."
Tao Yin and the others continued, "Can you tell us how the great immortal eats tree fruits? "The man in ancient costume said, "I started eating cypress trees, and then ate pine resin. Soon I felt sores all over my body and the pain in my abdomen continued. But after less than a month of persistence, the skin became crystal clear and smooth, and the hair became oily and shiny. In a few years, I was able to walk in the air, just like climbing a ladder, flying with the wind and rising with the clouds. After that, I felt that my body gradually became a vain and became a vain existence. It can also change from virtual to real, from real to virtual. From then on, I have realized that even if the world overturns and the mountains collapse, my body will not be damaged. "
When the wine was almost finished, the man in ancient costume broke down the pine branches, knocked on the jade pot, and sang: "The body of the cypress is lightly stacked among the mountains, and right and wrong are unintentional. The crown and dress are temporarily prepared to discuss the world, and the clouds travel around the blue sky. "The woman in colorful clothes also wrote a song to reconcile: "Who knows the past and the present are wrong, and I am idle in the Qingxia far away and the green clouds. The Qin Tower should be silent, and the colorful clouds are filled with radish clothes. "Home after
, the man in ancient costume said to Tao Yin and the other two: "It is also a rare fate that we meet with the two." I have some ten thousand-year-old pine resin and thousand-year-old cypress here. You two can eat it separately. "The two of them quickly thanked them, took them with both hands and gave them a drink.
Before leaving, the man in ancient costume warned them: to cultivate oneself, nourish one's spirit, and not to reveal them." Tao Yin and the two said goodbye to the two immortals. When they stood up and looked again, the immortal was nowhere to be found. They only saw the clothes worn by the immortals, which were blown by the wind, turned into thousands of petals and butterfly wings, flying into the air.
Dedao Lotus Peak
Tao Yin and the other two lived in seclusion on Lotus Peak. Since eating the ten thousand-year-old pineapple and thousand-year-old cypress given by the immortals, their faces have turned red, their hair turns green, their mouths are fragrant when they speak, and their dust is far away when they walk. They are already half-immortal bodies.
