Xianxia version of Water Margin

Chapter 463 The Secret to Eternal Youth

The stars sway gently in the rotation of the pearl tassels, and there seem to be dragons and snakes leaping among the vines. During the dance, the moonlight in the heart of the willow tower dances, and the charm of the peach blossom fan is long.

Concubine Wei and her granddaughters Zhao Foyou and Zhao Shenyou interweave a beautiful picture on the stage. Their postures are light and extremely flexible, as if they can unlock all the difficult dance codes in the world. Every time they bend, kick, and roll, they step on the beat of the music accurately, perfectly integrating dance and melody, showing extraordinary skills and tacit understanding.

Jiang Hongfei's harem has gathered countless outstanding dancers, and Hani Aihaiti is the best among them. She has been learning dancing since she was a child, and her skills are undoubtedly superior to those of Concubine Wei's three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.

However, this does not mean that Concubine Wei and her three grandchildren are eclipsed. Although their dance is not the top of the harem, it contains a deep foundation and unremitting efforts. Every movement reveals long-term practice and talent. The smooth dance steps are not only a display of skills, but also a pursuit and interpretation of beauty.

What is particularly eye-catching is the role change of Concubine Wei on the stage.

Originally, Jiang Hongfei saw that Concubine Wei was in her forties, and she went up to dance with her, just to attract attention.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Wei was not what Jiang Hongfei had thought before, to grab the red flower. She was smart and willing to be a supporting role, using her tall body to provide the most solid support for Zhao Foyou and Zhao Shenyou.

Under her support, Zhao Foyou and Zhao Shenyou were like dancing fairies, with long sleeves fluttering, and every turn and every look exuded a simple and elegant atmosphere.

The long sleeves dancing in the wind not only danced out the rhythm of the dance, but also danced out the emotions deep in their hearts.

Jiang Hongfei's eyes were deeply attracted by the dancing posture of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. He saw the light and natural dance steps of Zhao Foyou and Zhao Shenyou, as gentle and moving as the drizzle and breeze; he also saw Concubine Wei's calm and majestic dance posture, as if telling a beautiful and moving love story. Their dance not only has superb skills, but also contains unique style and personality, which makes people intoxicated.

As the dance music gradually stopped, Concubine Wei, Zhao Foyou and Zhao Shenyou landed lightly, perfectly ending this impressive dance performance.

Jiang Hongfei noticed that although Zhao Foyou and Zhao Shenyou were young, they were already out of breath, but Concubine Wei was only slightly out of breath, obviously her physical strength and endurance were far beyond these two girls.

This made Jiang Hongfei look at Concubine Wei with a new look. He knew how much effort and sweat this grandmother-level dancer had put in for this performance.

In addition to praising, Jiang Hongfei asked Concubine Wei directly: "You won't practice evil magic?"

As soon as this question came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Although Jiang Hongfei is tolerant of the harem, he will never tolerate the practice of evil magic.

Let's put it this way. Jiang Hongfei has always believed that a husband and wife for a day is a hundred days of grace.

The key is that Jiang Hongfei knows that although the beauties in the harem enjoy all the glory, they often suffer from loneliness. He secretly promised in his heart that he would give them as much tenderness and care as possible, and would not easily punish them unless they touched the bottom line.

However, things are unpredictable, and a strange story three years ago broke this superficial tranquility.

It is said that there are women in the harem who are willing to get involved in evil magic in order to seek the secret of eternal youth and immortality.

Jiang Hongfei was furious when he heard the news, so he asked his confidant Liang Hongyu to investigate the matter thoroughly.

After a series of investigations, more than 50 concubines surfaced, and they each told the bitterness and helplessness behind the practice of evil magic - just to occupy a place in his heart and seek more favor.

These women either believed in immortality pills or tried mysterious secret recipes. Some even drank the urine of boys and ate the flesh of placenta. Some even cultivated roundworms in their stomachs to seek strange magic.

Their extreme means were shocking.

Although their feelings were pitiful, their absurd behavior had touched Jiang Hongfei's bottom line.

He knew that youth and beauty could not be forced by external forces, and true emotions could not be maintained by such evil magic.

In order to rectify the atmosphere in the harem, Jiang Hongfei took decisive action. He not only ordered these women who practiced evil magic to be punished with sticks, but also issued an imperial decree, ordering them to shave their heads and become nuns, and never think of the world.

This decision was not only a severe punishment for them, but also a warning to the harem and even the world: pursuing vanity will eventually bring about its own consequences.

During that period, in Jiang Hongfei's deep palace, a storm was quietly brewing, and rumors about evil ways spread like wildfire, quickly echoing in the ears of every beauty.

Jiang Hongfei's disgust for this kind of unorthodox practice was like a cold wind passing through the border, making everyone feel afraid.

Therefore, when Jiang Hongfei suddenly asked whether Concubine Wei had been involved in such taboos, a tense and subtle atmosphere suddenly filled the air, as if everyone could foresee the fate of those unfortunate people.

Concubine Wei quickly knelt down in front of Jiang Hongfei, with a trembling but firm voice: "How dare I be so disrespectful? The reason why my face still looks a bit youthful is actually because I have followed your majesty's teachings and diligently practiced the Taoist way of health preservation. I eat simple meals, simple tea and light meals, and I don't forget to exercise every day to seek physical and mental health."

In order to completely dispel Jiang Hongfei's doubts, Concubine Wei boldly unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her tight abdominal lines due to years of exercise, which was the best proof of her self-discipline and persistence.

This scene moved everyone present, and made Jiang Hongfei feel an indescribable sense of relief and appreciation.

Since that incident, Jiang Hongfei felt the need to give his women a profound teaching. He summoned all the beauties in the harem and warned them earnestly: There is no way to live forever in the world. Birth, aging, illness and death are the laws of nature, and no one can escape. He elaborated on every stage of life from birth to death, and the changes that the human body undergoes as it ages. He encouraged them to face these changes, learn to accept and cherish every moment.

At the same time, Jiang Hongfei also shared his unique insights on delaying aging. He advocates a healthy lifestyle, including a reasonable diet, regular exercise and adequate sleep.

In order to pass on this way of health preservation, Jiang Hongfei also specially invited a female Taoist priest with profound cultivation to teach everyone Taoist health preservation methods such as "Eight-Section Brocade".

These methods can not only help people strengthen their bodies, but also delay the arrival of aging to a certain extent.

These measures of Jiang Hongfei have undoubtedly set off a wave of health preservation in the harem.

However, there are not many people who can really persevere and reap significant results.

Concubine Wei was one of them.

After Jiang Hongfei stopped frequenting her palace, especially after recovering from a serious illness, she became more determined to carry forward Jiang Hongfei's health regimen. Not only did she strictly follow these principles herself, she also often promoted a healthy lifestyle in the harem and encouraged her sisters to join the ranks of health regimen.

Time flies, and a few years have passed in the blink of an eye. Concubine Wei's changes surprised everyone. Her face has not aged with the passage of time, but has become more radiant and youthful.

All these changes are due to her unremitting efforts and persistence. She used her own personal experience to prove the correctness of Jiang Hongfei's health regimen and won more respect and love for herself.

Although Jiang Hongfei's set of things is not a technique for immortality, it contains the secret of prolonging life and strengthening the body. He is well versed in the Taoist Huang-Lao philosophy. He adheres to the way of dual cultivation of sex and life. He not only cultivates his mind, but also peeks into the door of destiny. The way of Chinese medicine also originated from this vein. Many of the essences of medical skills are said to be left by Taoists, such as the secret of Yunnan Baiyao, which is the proof of the Taoist's reputation. Therefore, there are many health masters among Taoists. Their longevity is rare in the world and they are firmly at the top of all industries.

Jiang Hongfei is not only an emperor, but also famous for his wisdom and foresight. This is not self-praise, but the expectation of the public. He looked up at astronomy, explored geography, and had a clear understanding of scientific and technological innovation. He first unveiled the mysteries of the three laws of motion and the conservation of energy and mass; the construction of the special and general theories of relativity shocked the academic world. The discovery of electricity and electromagnetic induction led the Yuan Empire into a new industrial era. The roar of steam engines, the leaping of internal combustion engines, the shuttle of telegraphs, the dazzling of electric lights, the speeding of trains, and the soaring of airships are all the fruits of his wisdom.

Jiang Hongfei also said that the earth is round and predicted the existence of the New World.

His broad knowledge and deep wisdom amazed everyone.

In the eyes of the world, Jiang Hongfei was praised as the pinnacle of wisdom, and his words and deeds were all regarded as a model by all women.

Concubine Wei believed what Jiang Hongfei said.

Now the passage of time has not left any traces on Concubine Wei, but has made her rejuvenated and regained her former style.

Concubine Wei slowly talked about her transformation and persistence over the years.

After listening, Jiang Hongfei's eyes flashed with praise.

In the era of information flooding in Jiang Hongfei's previous life, self-discipline, fitness, and health preservation were no longer secrets. Taoist exercises were also readily available on the Internet and were proven to be of great benefit to the body and mind.

However, people often ignore this valuable knowledge due to laziness and indulgence, allowing their bodies to fall into the quagmire of sub-health or even disease.

Although Jiang Hongfei shared generously, few people could persevere like Concubine Wei and finally see results.

Concubine Wei's transformation impressed Jiang Hongfei. Her appearance and temperament all showed the charm of health preservation.

Therefore, in order to commend Concubine Wei, Jiang Hongfei said: "Stay and massage my body."

When Jiang Hongfei said this, all the women present were delighted. They knew that Jiang Hongfei was going to "bloodbath" them today.

The women rushed forward and competed to relieve Jiang Hongfei's tired body. Their eagerness and enthusiasm were like flowers blooming in spring.

Among this group of women, Concubine Wei and Zhao Duofu, who had the most prominent status, naturally sat on both sides of Jiang Hongfei and gently massaged his arms.

Jiang Hongfei enjoyed this rare tranquility and comfort, but secretly planned in his heart: "How to deal with King Gaitian?"

As his thoughts surged, Jiang Hongfei asked the women present: "Imagine that there is a person who is extremely shameless. Not only did he destroy a country, but he also humiliated the queen mother and princess of that country. His courage and arrogance are rare in the world..."

As soon as these words came out, the women's hearts were all horrified, and they couldn't help but secretly speculate, could it be that the emperor was reflecting on his past?

However, as Jiang Hongfei continued to speak, they gradually realized that the person he was talking about was not themselves.

"After this man broke through the capital of a country, he joined the wolves and robbed the women of that country. No matter the concubines or princesses in the harem, they were not spared. They forced these noble women to wear revealing dance clothes and offer them wine and dance. If they did not obey, they would be subjected to violence or even tortured. Thousands of innocent women died because of this. The beautiful princess was sold by the pound as a commodity. The queen was tortured and finally committed suicide. What's more, women were randomly distributed. Some fell into wealthy families and could survive even though they lost their reputation. Some were distributed to soldiers. Among ten people, nine became prostitutes, lost their reputation and could not save their lives..."

Jiang Hongfei's words were full of indignation and dissatisfaction with what King Gaitian did.

However, when everyone heard this, they felt another kind of emotion in their hearts. They knew that although Jiang Hongfei had robbed women before, the way he treated these women was completely different from that of King Gaitian.

Jiang Hongfei required the soldiers of the Yuan army to make military achievements and give betrothal gifts to show respect before they could get these captive women. At the same time, he also promulgated laws to protect the rights and interests of these women, prohibiting the sale, abuse and killing. In addition, he also distributed land to the people according to the number of people, so these captive women also obtained food fields and became valuable.

In short, under the governance of Jiang Hongfei, such a tragedy would never happen.

Thinking of this, the women's admiration for Jiang Hongfei arose spontaneously. They knew that he was a man with a strong possessive desire, but his possessive desire never used to insult and trample on women. His women, whether he loved them or not, would never allow other men to touch them.

Those women who practiced evil arts were the best proof. He would rather build a nunnery to imprison them than give them the opportunity to become other people's playthings.

When Jiang Hongfei asked the women again how to deal with the King of Gaitian, the atmosphere became unusually active.

Some people advocated killing him to appease the public anger;

Some people thought that he should be executed;

Some people even proposed cruel methods such as lighting sky lanterns and boiling oil.

However, Concubine Wei and Zhao Duofu remained silent. They knew that Jiang Hongfei had already made up his mind and just wanted to hear everyone's opinions.

Seeing that the two were silent, Jiang Hongfei took the initiative to call on their names: "What do you two think?"

The two people whose names were called had no choice but to speak.

Based on her understanding of Jiang Hongfei, Concubine Wei proposed castration;

And Zhao Duofu wanted to further please Jiang Hongfei, so he added: "You can cut off his limbs and put him among the beauties so that he can see but not touch. I wonder what the emperor thinks?"
