Chapter 5: The Lotus
This makes originally Guo Zhongyong have great expectations, that this young man then refused to increase the title to ask for money, in fact, is considered to be a strategy to please the old Buddha Zhang Zhidong, are with Guo Zhongyong break. You young people, Chinese men, do not think of serving the country, to you what use?
But even if the break, Guo Zhongyong do not care, all of a sudden, the people all over the dynasty do not know what this young man in the end in the end, it seems to be thinking about drinking and sleeping with the flower girl what?
And then, Cixi left Guo Zhongyong as an internal minister of the reason is sort of revealed, Guo Zhongyong proficient in metaphysics, is considered Taoist, but the emperors of all dynasties will believe that Taoist, the world in the hands of the most reluctant to die, can not afford the glory of the world what, at the beginning of the Cixi is also just to Guo Zhongyong to teach some of the metaphysics of the method of health.
Later, sort of looking for an opportunity, Cixi asked: "Zhongyong ah, there have been emperors in pursuit of longevity, the world is also very much the immortal longevity. Since you are well versed in metaphysics, tell me, this immortality, is it true or not?"
"Since it's a legend, it's half true and half false, but according to the Taoist texts, immortality really does exist." Guo Zhongyong said.
"Then tell me, do you have a solution?" Cixi asked.
"There is, but my approach is different from others, not alchemy, since ancient times are eaten the golden pill white sun ascension and so on, these ah, I do not think, I also delved into the art of longevity for many years, I think that want to live forever, the imperial family has an innate advantage, because occupies the world's dragon qi, the dan pill one can not be feasible in the case of the Dragon qi to feed the anger, in fact, is the best way, and the minister have long thought of contributing to your longevity, Old Buddha, so before, I have taken action." Guo Zhongyong said.
"You've done it before? Really a loyal minister, tell me, what's going on?!" Cixi asked.
"Do you still remember that woman who had the same birthdate as Empress Dowager Ci'an? I let her live in the year Empress Dowager Ci'an's bedchamber, both of them have the same birth character destiny, her soul, has been set by me in the locking dragon well, so her dementia is because she is just a physical shell, I for, let Empress Dowager Ci'an's wronged soul, to go on her body!" Guo Zhongyong said.
Cixi heard that happy ah, damn, the world's ministers to be like Guo Zhongyong as this, should not care about things do not care, do their own work, did not account for the grieving family to think about it, then my Qing dynasty to pacify the world is not just around the corner? Empress Dowager Cixi in the ecstasy of course also have doubts, said: "Let Ci An on her body? In that case, you didn't solve Ci An's problem that day when you attracted a hundred ghosts to walk at night? How can this work?"
"Old Buddha don't panic, I did let her get into that woman's body, didn't get rid of it, not to mention sending her to reincarnation, I naturally know the reasoning of cutting off the roots and roots, but Empress Dowager Ci'an's unjust souls, because of the special character of the eight characters, coupled with the status of honor, those unjust souls serve her as the master, one person accounted for a large amount of dragon qi, almost all of them are about to be cultivated into a ghost immortal, you say that getting rid of it, isn't it a waste? And I'm keeping her for the sake of preparing for your longevity." Guo Zhongyong said.
"My long life, is it related to a ghost?" Cixi asked.
"Of course it does, that's what I'm thinking of, think about it, why is Beijing City called Eight Armed Nezha City? It is because it was built in the form of Nezha. There are so many true gods in the sky, why did Liu Bowen choose Nezha at that time? Legend has it that Nezha was born after three years of pregnancy and was regarded as a demon at birth, and he died after beheading the Dragon King's son. After his death, Nezha's master, Taiyi Zhengye, reborn Nezha as a lotus flower, so Nezha is the embodiment of the lotus flower, and because of Nezha's rebirth, the lotus flower became the flower of eternal life. Layout, in fact, all have Liu Bowen's own scheming in it, he seems, to build Beijing City, is for his own rebirth." Guo Zhongyong said.
"There is such a thing?" Cixi shocked.
"Why not, or old Buddha you want? Why must Beijing City be built like Nezha, in fact, is not it a subtle expression of one's desire to be reborn like Nezha?" Guo Zhongyong said.
"What you said makes sense, I'm surprised I'm speechless, so tell me, what does all this have to do with Ci'an?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked.
"She is a dragon gas, plus grievances, in fact, invisible has the way of yin and yang, empress dowager you want to be reborn, she is too key, I recently studied the ancient books, thought of a way, that is, with the dragon gas on her body plus grievances, to raise a pool of golden lotuses, and finally the lotus bloomed and lotus fell, raised a pool of golden lotuses bearing lotus seeds, in fact, it is the best elixir of longevity, then picking the lotus seeds, using the lotus seeds as a guide, after that, I naturally have a new plan, the old Buddha's longevity, is just around the corner." Guo Zhongyong said.
Empress Dowager Cixi heard this, her heart was pounding, this Guo Zhongyong, could it be that heaven sent me to help me? Send a pillow when you are sleepy? This is simply the pillars of the country, Cixi said at that time: "Hey, what yin and yang road, what golden lotus lotus, mourning family do not understand, also do not want to understand, I put this matter is still given to you to deal with all the powers, to your personal power, the country's power to assist you, I now give you my token, you can do whatever you want, want to do what you want to do, as long as you can let the mourning family to live forever! "
My great-grandfather took Cixi's token, from this time onwards, Guo Zhongyong is still hanging on the fifth rank, but this young man, suddenly, the power of the dynasty, even if Li Hongzhang Zhang Zhidong and other powerful ministers, but also to courtesy of three times, because he was invisible, seized Cixi's lifeblood!
Anyone who wants to live forever, can also be in order to live forever, at any cost!
So at that time Guo Zhongyong left, went to his hometown in Henan, after arriving there, did not return to his hometown in Baofeng County, but went to Luoyang, the same as the dry end of the Central Dragon, in fact, Luoyang on the feng shui geography qigong, is not worse than Beijing to where to go.
The great thing about Beijing, in addition to the innate geographic location, the most important thing is that Liu Bowen spent his whole life making layouts for the construction of the city of Beijing, combining the great Tao of heaven and earth. At that time, my great-grandfather Guo Zhongyong, after arriving in Luoyang, was at first turning.
It seems to be touring the mountains, as a talent out of Luoyang, and now it is also considered to be the home of the clothes, a lot of people have come to rely on, he is rewarded a little money to send off, in fact, the more he is, the more Cixi will like, because this person is decent, did not rely on their own favor do not know the sky and the earth. Such a subject, who do not like?
Guo Zhongyong in Luoyang turned countless circles, finally, with a large force to a place, here, or one of his distant relatives home, this place, there is a sandy river, right next to the sandy river this side of it, there is a mountain, there is a Taoist temple on the mountain, the Taoist temple, it is called the supreme view.
Guo Zhongyong came here, lived in his distant relatives home, so that the troops stationed at a distance, he came here, seems to be still touring the mountains to play, but his tour, every day with the old Taoist priest of this supreme view, the two people an old and a young, seems to have formed a forgettable friendship like.
At that time, Guo Zhongyong said to this old Taoist, "You say, this Supreme View is good for everything, it is this old cypress tree at the mouth of the Taoist temple, it seems that the top is not evil spirit ah!"
"Everything has a spirit, evil spirits are also living spirits, day and night to listen to my sermon of the scriptures, it is also considered to have a karma, I can not bear to get rid of it, and even get rid of it, how do you have a way, virtuous brother?" The old Taoist priest asked.
Guo Zhongyong laughed at that time, "I don't have a way, just saying, but the contraption up here, the temper is not very good."
At that time is idle chat, these two people relationship is really good, Guo Zhongyong in here a live, is a few months, these days, he is every day to the supreme view of the run, the two people will go around, also do not know every day the two big old men have what to say, get to the end, the Empress Dowager Cixi urged him to hurry up to have action.
Grandpa only in the sand river side of the cut-off, so that the sand river water temporarily cut off, after that, sent on the local soldiers, as well as their own brought the imperial army, plus the people, began to build a tower here, this tower up and down, in accordance with Guo Zhongyong's drawings, the repair of a full eighteen layers!
That is to say, secretly to conform to the layout of the eighteen layers of hell!
This tower, all of a sudden repaired three years, and these three years, Guo Zhongyong in the village next to the supreme view of the village below the distant relatives, because of construction, more rely on Guo Zhongyong, is considered to be a big fortune, Guo Zhongyong, it is simply when more than their own father more pro.
Three years repaired the pagoda, we also feel that the tower is simply like the eighteen layers of hell, who knows that after the repair, Guo Zhongyong began to build statues inside, these statues are all the evil spirits, is in accordance with the eighteen layers of hell's map to build.
Pagoda, but inside the construction into a hell, at this time, almost no one knows Guo Zhongyong this Feng Shui ghost in the end want to do, but Guo Zhongyong engaged in the tower statues engaged in half of the time, suddenly, the old Taoist priest hanged in this tower.
Guo Zhongyong still didn't say anything, the two of them had a good relationship, but the old Taoist priest found out what he was up to! It was thought that what he was doing was injurious to the peace of heaven! Moreover, to live forever by this method is simply sinful! The old Taoist priest couldn't persuade Guo Zhongyong, it was a death wish!
Guo Zhongyong was crying in front of the old Taoist priest's body, crying so miserably, after burying the old Taoist priest properly, he really stopped continuing to make statues for ghosts inside this pagoda, and instead went back to Beijing.
In his cellar, brought out a woman, this woman, dressed in expensive clothes, pointing at Guo Zhongyong said: "Good you dog slave! How dare you do this to the mourning family!"
A young woman, talking is an old man's voice, and call themselves mourning, then responsible for keeping the woman's servants were initially frightened, but later also used to it, Guo Zhongyong took the woman, went to the palace to see the Empress Dowager Cixi.
The woman saw the Empress Dowager Cixi, the whole person with the same crazy, and very scared, did not say a few words Cixi also scared, this woman, is not the original self, she was killed by their own Empress Dowager Ci'an ah!
Cixi really see ghosts, ghosts possessed, but also really convinced, although they are very afraid, but Guo Zhongyong that is really incomparable conviction, let Guo Zhongyong hurry up and take away, things are done immediately!
And after that, Guo Zhongyong took this woman back to Luoyang, in the eighteen layers of hell, eighteen layers of the top of the pagoda, built a lotus pond, in this lotus pond filled with water, repair of the organs, he selected a number of women, each of them is good for a second.
These women's brains, all were split open, after this young man Guo Zhongyong, but as a demon on earth in general, to find out a handful of ancient lotus seeds, and these lotus seeds, all planted inside the head of these women!
Afterwards, after trapping these people at the bottom of the pool and pouring water on them, only then, finally, did he plant Cian in the center of the water.
At that time participated in such actions, the most miserable executioners were scared legs, but planting lotus flowers and a series of actions, is by this good-looking Guo Zhongyong one person to complete!
He was simply a devil on earth!
These lotus flowers planted in the human head, very evil, almost water injection began to grow, and these lotus flowers, long unusually exuberant, but also with a if not evil aura, demonic and beautiful!
Dead so many people, for the knot lotus, let Cixi reborn!
No wonder, the old Taoist priest will hang here!
