Chapter 57: The Mortal Path 4
In the prosperous era, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin ruled the country, and the world was peaceful and the people were happy. However, the world is unpredictable and the way of heaven is cyclical. Mortals also have the dream of cultivating immortals. During this period, three people, Yin Kaishan, Yin Wenjiao, and Mantangjiao, met by chance and embarked on the path of immortality. There were also wise men such as Yuan Tiangang, Yuan Shoucheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui who assisted the holy emperor and also got a glimpse of the secrets of heaven, and each had their own adventures.
Yin Kaishan was an important minister of the state, with outstanding martial arts. He had two daughters, the elder one was named Wen Jiao, and the younger one was named Mantang Jiao. Both were born beautiful and intelligent. One day, Wen Jiao met an old woman in the back garden. She was holding a whisk and looked like an immortal. She gave her a golden pill and said, "Take this pill and you will become an immortal, but you need to go through many calamities in the mortal world before you can achieve the Tao." Wen Jiao did not doubt it and swallowed the pill. She felt refreshed and her whole body was glowing. Since then, Wen Jiao often dreamed of flying in the sky and hiding in the ground, and the method of cultivation appeared in her mind.
Mantang Jiao is gentle and kind, and she also admires the way of immortality. When she heard about her sister's adventure, she also asked the old woman for advice. The old woman smiled and said, "Your sister is destined to be an immortal, but you need help from outside." Then she gave her a jade slip, which contained the secret method of cultivating immortality. Mantang Jiao studied day and night, and gradually made some progress. Although she was not as fast as her sister, she could also feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and entered the door of cultivation.
Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Shoucheng were great sorcerers of the time, proficient in astronomy and geography, and their divinations were always accurate. The two often accompanied Emperor Taizong to discuss state affairs, and also to spy on the secrets of heaven and predict the future. One day, Tiangang observed the stars at night and saw purple air coming from the east. He knew that an immortal had descended to the world, so he discussed it with Shoucheng. Shoucheng smiled and said, "This matter concerns the fate of the country, and it is also the fate of immortals and mortals. We should help it."
As a result, the two of them visited famous mountains and rivers, looking for immortal cultivators, and finally met a hermit master who taught them the method of defying the will of heaven and changing their fate. Tian Gang and Shou Cheng returned from their studies and secretly protected the two beauties of the Yin family, helping them overcome many difficulties and making progress in their cultivation.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were Taizong's right-hand men. They were both outstanding in civil and military affairs. Although they were not involved in the way of immortality, they were extremely wise and could often foresee opportunities and relieve Taizong's worries. When they heard about the two beauties of the Yin family cultivating immortality, they both smiled and said nothing, knowing that this was God's will and could not be interfered with by human power.
However, Taizong was curious and asked for details. Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty is wise and should know that all things in the world have spirits. The path of cultivating immortals is not for everyone. The two beauties of the Yin family are chosen by heaven and have their own opportunities. We only need to follow the will of heaven and protect the people, which is the greatest merit."
Du Ruhui also nodded and said, "If Your Majesty wants to know more, why not go there in person and find out?" Taizong was overjoyed when he heard this, and decided to go on a private visit in disguise to see if there was any chance of immortality.
Taizong changed into casual clothes, took only a few guards, and quietly left the palace. What he saw along the way was that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which comforted him. When he reached the foot of a mountain, he suddenly heard fairy music floating in the air, and clouds and mists lingered, as if a fairy palace was looming. Taizong knew that it was the place where the immortals lived, so he led the people up the mountain.
When they reached the top of the mountain, they saw a cave, magnificent and full of fairy spirit. Taizong walked in and saw the two beauties of the Yin family meditating on a cushion, while Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Shoucheng stood by to protect them. Taizong stepped forward to pay his respects and explained his purpose. When the two beauties saw Taizong coming, they stood up to greet him and talked about the hardships and joys of practicing.
After hearing this, Taizong was filled with emotion and said, "I originally thought that cultivating immortals was a matter of transcending the mundane world, but I did not expect that it would involve so many difficulties. It is a blessing for our dynasty that you two families can have this chance to become immortals." After that, Taizong bestowed many treasures upon the two beauties to help them practice.
Since then, the two sisters of the Yin family have practiced more diligently, going through countless hardships and tests. Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Shoucheng also give them guidance from time to time to help them break through the bottleneck. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stabilize the situation in the court, ensure the prosperity of the country, and provide solid support for the two sisters' journey to immortality.
Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye. The two beauties of the Yin family finally achieved enlightenment and ascended to the immortal world. Upon hearing the news, Emperor Taizong was overjoyed and personally set up an altar to worship them as a sign of respect. Yuan Tiangang, Yuan Shoucheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others also enjoyed a long life because of their contributions to the immortals, and also had the blessing of immortal fate.
Later generations praised this event, saying that Emperor Taizong was wise and had a chance to meet an immortal; they also praised the perseverance of the two Yin sisters and the wisdom and courage of the Yuan brothers and Fang and Du. However, the road to becoming an immortal is long and arduous. If a mortal wants to become an immortal, he must have extraordinary talent and firm belief.
In his later years, Taizong often thought about the fate of Yin's two beauties and his ministers, and he felt both gratified and sad. He knew that the prosperity of the world was fleeting, and only by practicing and realizing the truth could one transcend life and death and live as long as heaven and earth. Therefore, in his later years, Taizong devoted himself more to promoting education and advocating good deeds among the people, in order to accumulate merits and pave the way for practice in the next life.
One day, Taizong saw the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara in his dream. The Bodhisattva said, "Your Majesty cares about the people and has great merits. However, the path of cultivating immortals is not just a personal matter, but also concerns the well-being of the people of the world. Your Majesty should be compassionate and open the door to convenience so that more people can get in touch with the immortal path and reach paradise together."
When Taizong woke up, he was deeply moved by the Bodhisattva's teachings, so he ordered the construction of temples across the country to worship the gods. He also sent messengers to famous mountains and rivers to invite successful practitioners to come and teach Taoism in order to enlighten the people and guide them to be good.
As soon as this order was issued, the whole country responded. Countless practitioners came out of the mountains, some gave lectures, and some traveled around the country, using their own knowledge to save all living beings. For a time, the immortal spirit flourished in the Tang Dynasty, the people's spiritual outlook was completely renewed, and the social atmosphere changed.
Although the two beauties of the Yin family had ascended to the immortal world, their legends in the mortal world inspired countless people to embark on the path of spiritual practice. Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Shoucheng were also honored as "celestial masters" for their contributions to the immortals, and their divination skills and spiritual practice methods were widely praised by later generations.
Although Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui did not become immortals, their contributions in the human world are also remembered by history. They assisted Emperor Taizong in creating the Zhenguan Reign, making the Tang Dynasty one of the most powerful countries in the world at that time, and left valuable political heritage and cultural wealth for future generations.
As time goes by and dynasties change, the stories about Emperor Taizong, the two beauties of the Yin family, the Yuan brothers, and the two prime ministers Fang and Du will forever shine in the long river of history like bright stars, inspiring generations to pursue truth, yearn for beauty, and have the courage to explore the unknown world.
Eventually, when the glory of the Tang Dynasty gradually faded, the legends about cultivating immortals and becoming a god burned in people's hearts like an inextinguishable flame, becoming an eternal spiritual sustenance and pursuit. And the starting point of all this was the era full of wisdom and courage - the prosperous Tang Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin.
In the later generations, the stories of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and the two beauties of the Yin family, the Yuan brothers and the two prime ministers Fang and Du gradually incorporated more folk legends and myths, becoming a unique cultural symbol. People not only praised their wisdom and courage, but also associated their images with various immortal magic weapons and mysterious techniques, constructing one bizarre and fascinating world of immortal cultivation after another.
In this world, Emperor Taizong was given the identity of "the reincarnation of the emperor". His life was regarded as destined by heaven, destined to lead the Tang Dynasty to prosperity, and also laid a solid foundation for the path of cultivating immortals. The two beauties of the Yin family became messengers from the immortal world. They not only taught mortals how to cultivate immortals, but also often came down to the mortal world to save people from danger, becoming the patron saints in people's hearts.
Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Shoucheng, these two wise men were revered as "the old men of heaven's secrets". Their divination skills could see through the secrets of heaven and predict the future. In later novels and operas, they were often portrayed as immortals who could call the wind and rain, move mountains and seas, and fight wits and courage with all kinds of demons and monsters to protect the tranquility and peace of the Tang Dynasty.
As for Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, their wisdom and loyalty were infinitely magnified and became models for officials in later generations. People believed that only officials like them who were both talented and virtuous could truly benefit the people and ensure long-term stability of the country.
As time went by, these stories gradually integrated religious elements such as Taoism and Buddhism, forming a unique cultural system of cultivating immortals. People not only pursue immortality and transcend life and death through practicing Taoism and meditating, but also understand the true meaning of life and find the destination of the soul through studying these stories.
In this process, the images of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and the two women of the Yin family, the Yuan brothers, and the two prime ministers Fang and Du were constantly enriched and improved, becoming a cultural symbol that transcends time and space and transcends life and death. They not only represent the splendor and glory of the Tang Dynasty, but also embody people's yearning and pursuit for a better life.
The source of all this is the era full of wisdom and courage - the prosperous Tang Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin. In that era, people created countless brilliant achievements with their sweat and wisdom, and also left precious spiritual wealth and cultural heritage for future generations. These stories and legends will always accompany the progress of human civilization, inspiring people to keep moving forward and pursue a better future.
In the continuous inheritance and evolution of Xiuxian culture, the stories of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and others gradually incorporated more diversified elements, forming a unique Xianxia culture. This culture is not limited to the Tang Dynasty, but has crossed national borders and influenced the entire East Asia and even further afield.
In the world of immortals, Taizong is endowed with more mysterious colors. He is not only an emperor in the human world, but also a mysterious existence that is inextricably linked to the immortal world. Every decision and every action he makes seems to foreshadow the flow of destiny and the interweaving of immortals and mortals. The two beauties of the Yin family have become the bridge connecting the immortal world and mortals. They teach immortal methods in the human world and pray for mortals in the immortal world. They have become idols and role models in the hearts of countless immortal cultivators.
The wisdom of Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Shoucheng is endowed with even more magical powers. Not only can they predict the future, but they can also change fate through magic and help cultivators overcome many difficulties. Their existence makes the road to cultivation no longer a lonely and difficult journey, but a journey full of hope and possibilities.
The images of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are more reflected in the inheritance of wisdom and loyalty. Their wisdom is regarded by later generations as a treasure for governing the country and maintaining peace, and their loyalty has become a model for officials to be loyal to the country. In the culture of immortals, they are portrayed as wise men who can see through people's hearts and resolve conflicts, providing valuable guidance and help for immortal practitioners.
With the continuous development of Xianxia culture, more and more literary works, film and television works, games, etc. have used this as a theme to create rich and colorful stories and characters. These works not only enrich people's cultural life, but also further promote the spread and influence of Xianxia culture.
However, while enjoying these cultural achievements, we should also be aware that the true path to immortality is not easy. It requires not only talent and hard work, but also a firm heart and awe of life. As Taizong Li Shimin and others have shown in history, the reason why they were able to achieve extraordinary success is that they always adhered to their beliefs and responsibilities, kept moving forward, and pursued unremittingly.
Therefore, in the pursuit of the dream of cultivating immortals, we should follow the example of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and others, maintain a humble and respectful heart, and keep learning and making progress. Only in this way can we truly understand the true meaning of cultivating immortals and the meaning of life.
Under the influence of Xianxia culture, people's understanding of Xiuxian has gradually surpassed the simple immortality and transcendence, and has turned to focus on the cultivation of the mind and the improvement of the realm. Xiuxian is no longer just a personal pursuit, but has become a process of profound understanding of the universe and the essence of life.
People began to realize that every challenge and test on the road to immortality is a sharpening and sublimation of the inner world. In the face of the temptation of desire, the invasion of fear, and the test of loneliness, only by sticking to one's original heart can one avoid getting lost in the turmoil of the world. And those who can truly comprehend the true meaning of immortality can often look at everything in the world with an attitude of detachment and achieve spiritual freedom and liberation.
In fairy tales, those seemingly ordinary characters can often show extraordinary courage and wisdom at critical moments. They can influence demons with deep affection or sacrifice themselves for the greater good, showing the brilliance and greatness of human nature. These stories not only allow people to feel the wonder and grandeur of the world of cultivation, but also allow people to see the most beautiful and pure side of human nature.
