Chapter 552 Notes on Emperor Wu’s Daily Life, Yama God’s Right Attendant
[Late late at night, Jingren Palace was immersed in silence. The moonlight fell on the vermilion glazed tiles of the palace, giving it a cold yet soft luster, reflecting the cold outline of the palace. 】
[Within the palace walls, the lights dimmed, leaving only the eunuchs on duty keeping watch quietly in the dark.]
[The door of Jingren's palace is closed tightly, and there are one or two oil lamps flickering in the inner room. The wise concubine is still awake late at night...]
[Facts have proved that Prince Zhu Chi was overly concerned. The two gods and Buddhas were deities with great supernatural powers, and the tight defense of the Forbidden City was of no avail to them.]
[Even if the two gods and Buddhas wanted to force their way into the Qianqing Palace, it would be easy to take the head off the puppet of Emperor Wu.]
[The three of them arrived at Jingren Palace without much effort, without disturbing anyone.]
[Prince Zhu Chi suppressed the excitement in his heart and respected and feared the two gods and Buddhas. With the help of Western gods and Buddhas, there was no need to worry about not being able to ascend the throne of the emperor. 】
[The lights guarded by the eunuchs in several places were extinguished quietly, and the white elephant demon returned to your side and nodded.]
[You lead the two of you and open the door of Jingren Hall majestically. 】
[The beautiful woman in brocade embroidered clothes under the light frowned and scolded without raising her head, "Didn't I already tell you not to disturb me, get out!"
[Prince Zhu Chi didn’t need you to remind him. He stepped forward and snorted coldly, Concubine Xian, do you want me to get out? 】
[Concubine Xian was suddenly startled and raised her head suddenly. When she saw that the person coming was the prince, her expression changed and she said, Your Highness, how dare you break into the harem late at night! 】
[You leave quickly, it will never happen tonight, otherwise if your father knows about this...]
[Prince Zhu Chi said to you, Buddha, I don’t know what method my father used to make these false puppets. Not only do they not look any different in appearance, but their own behavior and habits are exactly the same as the original ones. 】
[If it hadn't known in advance that the true emperor and the wise concubine had sailed eastward, it wouldn't have been able to tell whether the person in front of it was real or fake. 】
[When the wise concubine saw that the prince ignored it, she couldn't help but get angry and shouted, 'Here comes someone!', but no one answered. 】
[You step forward and ignore the woman’s struggle, reach out and hold the top of her head, and carefully explore the woman’s body and soul.]
[The characters in your eyes flashed rapidly, and you quickly understood the mystery of the fake puppet.]
[This false puppet is also a living person, very similar to its original body. Using magical power to slightly modify the facial features and muscles, the puppet can look exactly the same as the original body, with no flaws visible. 】
[The original memory of the puppet has been erased and filled with the memory of a virtuous concubine, making the puppet think that it is a virtuous concubine and does not know that it is a puppet at all.]
[How can a mere mortal resist your methods? Concubine Xian was quickly controlled by you.]
[But the memory it inherited seems to be incomplete. It has no knowledge of the ‘descendant of the living man’ you asked about, and it has no memory of having killed a young eunuch with a cane. 】
[After searching the entire Jingren Palace, no clues were found about the ‘Notes on Emperor Wu’s Daily Life’…]
【……】
[Concubine Xian’s face was flushed, and her eyes were full of beauty. Seeing that you were about to leave, she quickly grabbed the corner of your clothes and said, World Honored One, why don’t you stay here tonight and look for the book tomorrow morning? 】
[You glanced at the woman coldly, and the woman who was controlled by the 'Lust and Empty Lucky Method' unconsciously let go of her hand.]
[The virtuous concubine, who was lost in lust, saw that you insisted on leaving, and finally regained some clarity. She pondered for a moment and said to you, World Honored One, if I had ever killed that 'descendant of the living man' with a stick, and seized it from his body.
Manuscript of 'Notes on Emperor Wu's Daily Life'.]
[Then I will definitely not report my concubine's behavior to Emperor Wu, lest I know a secret that I shouldn't know and be silenced.]
[The concubine will probably destroy this thing secretly and pretend not to know about it.]
[You know that the manuscript of ‘Emperor Wu’s Daily Notes’ must still be in the world, otherwise the administrator would not have told you such information.]
[Seeing that you firmly believe that the book is still there, Concubine Xian continued to think deeply. If I have not destroyed the book, the worst thing I can do is hide the book in an absolutely safe place, and a place where I can see it from time to time. ]
[I am a devout disciple, and I worship Buddha and eat vegetarian food every day...]
[As she spoke, the Concubine Xian looked at the Buddhist niche in the corner of the palace. Enshrined on the Buddhist niche was a Bodhisattva, the ‘Ten Great Wish Kings and Three Mantras Bodhisattva’. 】
[No Buddhist niches were found during the search just now, but there are many furnishings in Jingren Palace, so we can only do a rough search.]
[At this time, you have locked on a specific target. After careful investigation, you found something. 】
[There is a secret compartment hidden under the shrine, in which lies a blue-covered sutra, the "Dafangguangfo Huayan Sutra".]
[There seems to be something wrong with the cover of the scripture. You reach out and gently peel it off, then tear off the disguised cover, revealing the six words "Emperor Wu's Daily Life Notes"! 】
[You discovered the ‘Notes on Emperor Wu’s Daily Life—The Seventy-Sixth Manuscript’ (data prop)! 】
"Damn! It's so well hidden. If I hadn't known the relevant information in advance, I probably wouldn't have been able to find it."
Lin Xun knew that the information revealed by the administrator must be very valuable, and he was looking forward to clicking on the information and props to read it.
[You open the ‘Notes on Emperor Wu’s Daily Life’ and check the text in the manuscript...]
【……】
[The complete set of daily notes not only records the major events that have occurred from the founding of the Zhuchi Empire to the present, but also records the daily life, words and deeds of Emperor Wu.]
[The manuscript you are looking at now is the 76th volume of daily notes, which records the important events of the Zhu Chi Kingdom in the past fifty years and the itinerary and words of Emperor Wu.]
[You flip through the book and quickly find the key content and the reason why this book should be destroyed...]
[It turns out that Emperor Wu took advantage of his private visit more than thirty years ago to secretly sail eastward and search for the ‘Penglai Fairy Island’ on the Oriental Xuanhai. 】
[Because of the support of the gods and Buddhas of the West, the Zhu Chi Kingdom was able to prosper and prosper for a long time. Emperor Wu’s secret visit to the Penglai Immortal Island, regardless of whether he could eventually find the Taoist Immortal, was a great disrespect to the gods and Buddhas of the West. Therefore, this trip should not be made public. 】
[According to the records of Ji Julang, Emperor Wu took an ocean-going iron-clad ship and drifted for a long time in the ‘Yuepan Sea Area’, one of the nine sea areas in the Oriental Xuanhai, trying to find the ‘Penglai Fairy Island’. 】
[It is recorded in ancient books that I heard in the past that Penglai Immortal Island is actually a Taoist fairyland, hidden in the sea area of the moon disk. Its portal is unpredictable, and it is difficult for those who have not been destined to have a glimpse of its path. Therefore, if there is a chance coincidence, you should do so.
If you can glimpse the secret of heaven, you can find the door of Penglai; on the other hand, those who seek it with strong desire will be hard to find even if they spend their entire lives.】
[Emperor Wu only knew that the Penglai Island was located in the Yuepan Sea, but he was unable to enter it for a long time because the Penglai portal was elusive and uncertain.]
[Perhaps Emperor Wu's pursuit of truth moved heaven and earth. After a sudden big storm at sea, the wind calmed down and the sky cleared. The iron-clad giant ship sailed into a sea area that had never been seen before, and Penglai Island suddenly appeared.
eye.】
[The appearance of Penglai is magnificent and strange, as if it were a heavenly palace. The outline of the island is like a natural scroll, with green peaks and mist. 】
[On the fairy island, there are rows of beautiful buildings and jade buildings, showing the style of the fairy family. The buildings are all based on white jade, with green bamboos and green pines, cornices and brackets, straight into the clouds. 】
[The island is surrounded by rippling blue waves, the sea is crystal clear, and the beach is as white as silver. There are rare and exotic animals leisurely roaming there, and there are even cranes soaring under the blue sky and white clouds...]
[However, after the armored ship docked, only Emperor Wu could disembark and land on the island. Although the rest of the entourage tried their best to follow, they were blocked by invisible forces and were always shut out and unable to land on the island. 】
[No one knows what happened after Emperor Wu landed on the island.]
[One day later, Emperor Wu returned from the island and ordered the armored ship to leave. As the ship went farther and farther, the fairyland-like Penglai Island gradually disappeared. 】
[Emperor Wu finished his private visit incognito after his trip to Penglai and immediately returned to the palace. Regardless of the objections of his ministers, he built a Taoist treasure palace, the Qin'an Palace, in the imperial garden. 】
[What is enshrined in the ‘Qin’an Hall’ is not the Taoist ancestor of the Sanqing Dynasty, but an unknown immortal, ‘Zhongtian Brahma Qi Zixu Yuanjun’. 】
[Emperor Wu respected Buddha and suppressed Taoism, and regarded Buddhism as the teaching of governing the country. This was the foundation of the country. Now he not only secretly traveled east to Penglai, but also built a Taoist palace in the palace. How can he explain this to the people of the world? How can he explain this to the gods in the west?
Buddha explained?】
[Sure enough, after the construction of Qin'an Hall was completed, when Emperor Wu held a grand opening ceremony for blessings, the attendant on the right side of the Yan God Seat was also the main Bodhisattva enshrined in the capital, the 'Ten Great Wish Kings and Three Mantra Bodhisattvas' descended to earth to appear sacred.
Come!】
[Others don’t know why the Bodhisattva came. They just think it’s because Emperor Wu built the Qin’an Hall and made the gods and Buddhas angry. However, Qi Julang knows that it’s because Emperor Wu secretly crossed to Penglai eastward. 】
[After the Great Bodhisattva of Heavenly Man came down to earth, he talked with Emperor Wu in the palace for half a day, and then returned to the Western Paradise. He did not do anything to abolish the establishment, and it seems that he did not criticize Emperor Wu harshly. 】
[But since then, no one in the palace dared to go to Qin'an Hall to pay homage to the strange Taoist Immortal Lord in order to cater to Emperor Wu.]
[Emperor Wu also pretended that the construction had never happened and ignored the Qin'an Palace.]
[But Liang knew that every full moon night on the fifteenth day of the month, Emperor Wu would quietly walk into Qin'an Hall late at night to pay homage to the Taoist Immortal.]
[The Living Man is an upright and courageous person. Regardless of whether the emperor's words and deeds are good or bad, they must be recorded in the record. According to the rules, the emperor cannot interfere with the content of the "Living Note". 】
[Therefore, the previous emperors were worried about the "Daily Notes", for fear that some disgraceful things would be recorded. 】
[Lilang itself is also an extremely risky official position. If you meet an enlightened emperor, it is okay, but if you meet a fatuous and cruel emperor, the end will often be extremely miserable. 】
[Zhu Chi retained the official position of Julang in the previous dynasty. Emperor Wu was undoubtedly an enlightened and sage emperor. He never held Julang accountable and allowed Julang to record his words and deeds. 】
[It was the night of the 15th again, and as expected, the weak candlelight was lit again in the Qin'an Palace. The living man was bound to record what Emperor Wu secretly did, even if it caused the risk of beheading afterwards. 】
[The living man quietly pierced the paper on the door of the main hall and saw Emperor Wu kneeling before the Immortal Lord and offering the three pillars of incense in his hand...]
[As the smoke from the burning incense curls up, the statue of the immortal statue holding a treasure vase on the left and a fly whisk on the right appears strangely.]
[The clay vase was overflowing with sweet springs. Emperor Wu took out an object that shone with white light and threw it into the vase. 】
[Not long after, the strange object absorbed all the sweet spring. Emperor Wu retrieved the strange object and wore it close to his body, showing a contented expression, and wisps of black energy dissipated from his body...]
[Liang Lang returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs overnight, recorded the matter truthfully, and ordered future generations to make a handwritten copy.]
[The next day, Qi Julang was summoned by Emperor Wu and disappeared from sight. No one was seen alive or dead, and the "Emperor Wu's Daily Notes" that recorded the incident were also destroyed. 】
【……】
【……】
[...My father is deceased, but this matter cannot be buried. I leave this manuscript for future generations to learn from.]
【At this point, you have finished browsing the content on Daily Notes.】
This data prop contains a lot of information. Lin Xun read it repeatedly and extracted some of the most critical information.
First, Penglai is located in the ‘Moon Sea Area’ in the Eastern Xuanhai.
If he wants to pursue and eliminate Emperor Wu, who has become the agent of the evil god, he must go to the 'Moon Sea Area' to find Emperor Wu.
Secondly, the ‘Zhongtian Brahma Qi Zixu Yuanjun’ is a disciple of the Taoist ancestor, but no one knows his name.
At first, Lin Xun thought that the White Elephant Demon was ignorant, but now even the "historian" does not know about this Immortal Lord, which means that there are no Taoist books. The scriptures record this Immortal Lord, which is very abnormal.
.
Thirdly, after the "Three Mandalas Bodhisattva, the King of Ten Great Wishes" standing on the right side of the Yama Seat descended to earth to appear as a saint, he should have reached some secret agreement with Emperor Wu, which allowed this Taoist treasure palace to remain in the imperial garden.
Fourth, after Emperor Wu returned from Penglai, he built a Taoist palace for the 'Zhongtian Brahma Qi Zixu Yuanjun' and visited the immortal king every full moon. It seemed to be purifying his own evil thoughts?
Fifth, what was the object held by Emperor Wu, and why did it have the effect of purifying evil thoughts?
Lin Xun pondered for a while, and had a bold guess in his mind.
[You put away the ‘Daily Note’, ignored Concubine Xian’s pleas to stay, opened the door of the hall and left...]
[Prince Zhu Chi has been waiting outside the door for a long time. Seeing Concubine Xian acting like this towards you, and remembering the sound of bliss he just heard outside the door, his expression is very complicated. 】
[Prince Zhu Chi thought about it for a long time, and then asked cautiously, Great Buddha, what magical power did you use just now to make this virtuous concubine so... so well-behaved. 】
[I wonder if disciples can practice this magical power?]
[You look up at the moon. At this time, the moon is not at its zenith, and there is still one day left before the 15th day of the month. 】
[You ignore the prince and rush towards the ‘Qin’an Hall’ in the imperial garden...]
Lin Xun also had a piece of 'Brahma-Shaped Divine Treasure Xuanzhen Invitation Spell' in his pocket, which was an eternal prop to summon this Taoist disciple, 'Zhongtian Brahma Qi Zixu Yuanjun'.
Now there is a statue of this Immortal Lord in the Qin'an Temple. Although it is not the night of the 15th yet, you might as well go there first to see what great powers this friendly leader has.
