This summer's hottest costume drama "Chen Qingling" has undoubtedly set off a wave of "xiu xian" boom. Should Xiu Xian be as peaceful and indifferent as the Blue Forgetting Machine, or should he take the lead of the family like Wei WuXian? As far as the plot is concerned, Wei WuXian's black cat and white cat's grasp undoubtedly won the victory in the end.
"Chen Qing Ling" tells the story of the cultivators, and most of the characters who appear are individuals who can cultivate immortals. However, this kind of thing that seems very easy in novels and TV series is still impossible for ancient emperors to pay huge wealth and countless manpower. Even many emperors tasted the bitterness of "cultivating immortals", but eventually played themselves to death.
The most famous "cultivator" in history is the Qin Shi Huang Ofe, the first emperor of the ages. Perhaps all the emperors who felt that they had made great achievements fantasized about enjoying power forever.
Yingzheng has made great efforts in seeking immortality. He once personally took a boat around the waters near the Shandong Peninsula and wandered for more than three months, just to find the three fairy mountains of Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou.
Unfortunately, Qin Shi Huang's luck was not good, not only did the Immortal Mountain not be found, but even the small island looming on the sea with a little immortal qi did not touch it. When he was frustrated, the local alchemist Xu Fu came to the door.
He told Qin Shi Huang that he had seen three immortal mountains with his own eyes, and that there were indeed immortals living on the mountains. As long as you can get the elixir of immortality from the hands of immortals, it is not difficult to enjoy the world.
I don't know how Xu Fuxiuxian's alchemist business is, but his flickering kung fu is undoubtedly very good. Under the description of his tongue blooming lotus, Qin Shi Huang began to believe that it was not that the Immortal Mountain did not exist, but that it was luck to see the Immortal Mountain. As a result, Xu Fu became the immortal "advisor" of Qin Shi Huang and opened the first fraud case in ancient and modern times.
From this point of view, no matter how great Qin Shi Huang was, he was still an old man. Just like the old people who are now fooled into buying health care products, Qin Shi Huang's requirements for Xu Fu can be described as obedient. Xu Fu said that he would take a thousand boys and girls overseas to find Xian Shan, and Qin Shi Huang really packed some luggage for him and chose virgin boys and girls.
Xu Fu disappeared into the vast sea with a thousand boys and girls, but left a question worth pondering for the emperors. If the Immortal Mountain really existed, would the person who was sent rise to immortality himself and never come back; if the Immortal Mountain did not exist, would the person sent not grease the soles of his feet and slip away with his hands with wealth?
Liu Che, the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, also believed that he was the greatest in his merits and could be called the first emperor of the ages, of course, he could not avoid falling into the old road of seeking eternal life. However, Liu Che was cautious and suspicious, and also learned the lessons of Qin Shi Huang. He did not believe in the alchemist who said to go to the immortals, but trusted the alchemist who could summon the immortals to him.
So when Luan Da, who was the same as Xu Fu and claimed to have seen immortals at sea, came to him, he was half-convinced. Emperor Wu of Han held the phrase "misidentify a thousand people, don't miss one", gave Luan a marquis, rewarded him with wealth, and even married a princess to him.
However, when Luan Da said that he would go to the sea on behalf of Emperor Wu of Han to ask for a fairy master, Emperor Wu of Han was almost suddenly returned to his position by the iq of the fool, and sent someone to spy on Luan Da.
The people who were following the surveillance reported to Emperor Wu of Han that Luan Did not dare to go down to the sea, but just walked around Mount Tai. Luan Da returned to tell Emperor Wu of Han that he had seen the Immortal Master. Emperor Wu of Han knew that he had been deceived, and when he became angry, he cut off his head.
The Yongzheng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty also sought immortality, but he was not as naïve as the above two. Influenced by Tibetan Buddhism, the Manchus were recuperating and recuperating in the years when they were recuperating and low-key, claiming to the outside world that they had no desire or desire to devote themselves to the Buddha. It may be that if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself, and the Yongzheng Emperor can be described as one of the most religious.
Yongzheng did not pay much attention to material enjoyment, and even the dragon robe was sewn and repaired for another three years. But the thing of immortality is nothing, and as Yongzheng gets older, he feels that it may not be safe to just meditate on the Buddha. Therefore, in the later period of Yongzheng's reign, he also began to provide for Daoist monks and consume Dan medicine.
Dan Yao ate too much, and Yongzheng even felt that he had become quite professional. Every time a batch of new drugs is released, he has to taste and evaluate them. The "Qing Shi Lu" records that he evaluated a batch of Dan medicine: "This Dan cultivation is refined, the effect is extraordinary, boldly obeyed, do not have a little doubt, it is a beneficial and harmless medicine, and it is the most accurate to know." ”
In the main history, it is believed that the Yongzheng Emperor was overly diligent and exhausted. However, many people looked through the history books and felt that the Yongzheng Emperor was likely to take the Dan medicine with his ministers and finally eat himself to death.
Xiu Xian is risky, and you need to be cautious when taking medicine.
