Chapter 62: The Power of the Court (Thanks to Immortal Cat
"Master Emperor, do you think it would be good for me to issue an edict for sinners? Tell the people of the world about my past mistakes, and then tell them that I will revive the Sui Dynasty in the future."
When Su Li and Shi Long arrived at the palace, Sui Emperor Yang Guang was sitting there thinking quietly. Seeing Su Li coming over, he spoke.
"Edict to sin?!"
These three words fell on Shi Long's ears, and he was shocked. He really couldn't believe that the extremely conceited Sui Emperor Yang Guang would ever want to issue an edict to sin against himself.
Who was Yang Guang? He had a very high ambition and wanted to be an emperor for eternity. To this end, he spared no efforts in the people's efforts, camped in the eastern capital, opened canals, conquered the east and west, conquered the west and the east.
Such an extremely arrogant emperor now actually wants to sin against himself?
It's really unbelievable.
Su Li thought for a moment and nodded.
"If Your Majesty wants to sin against yourself, it is not impossible. Now everyone in the world thinks that Your Majesty is addicted to wine and sex and will die soon. If you can sin against yourself, although it still won't win back many people's hearts, it can also make some people see the change.
If people come to serve you, if you have one loyal minister, if you have one more, Your Majesty will be able to accumulate strength."
"What the Imperial Master said is exactly what I thought. Tomorrow I will sin against myself, and at the same time I will tell the world about the Imperial Master's coming to earth."
After Yang Guang finished speaking, he looked at Shi Long on Su Li's side.
"Could this one be the number one master in Yangzhou - Shi Long? If you can help me, I will thank you. I will be a high-ranking official with a generous salary. It's up to you."
Yang Guang stared at Shi Long carefully. Although his martial arts practice was poor, he had good vision.
At a glance, he knew that Shi Long, the number one in Yangzhou, was indeed a master.
"I don't dare to accept it, I don't dare to accept it. Your Majesty has an assignment, and I don't dare to refuse."
Shi Long remembered that there was a senior Taoist master in front of him, his words were calm and fair, and he dared not show off.
"The Taoist secret of longevity is also here, but I suggest that your majesty can summon his learned men to decipher these oracle bone inscriptions."
Su Li took out the Secret of Immortality, but did not give it to Yang Guang immediately.
He didn't plan to give it to Yang Guang, but if there were rubbings of the Secret of Immortality, Yang Guang could refer to the rubbings.
"It is my will to make rubbings of this Immortal Secret immediately. I will see it today."
Yang Guang's eyes turned and he immediately understood what the emperor's master meant. He gave instructions and many people entered the palace.
These people were from poor families and had read a lot of poetry and books. They didn't know much about the affairs of the world, and they didn't know that the thing in front of them was the secret of longevity, but they all wrote good calligraphy.
Now seeing the summons from the Sui Emperor, he hurried into the palace and traced the oracle bone inscriptions on the longevity formula one by one on the paper without any mistakes.
A slight mistake would be a crime of beheading.
"Go down, the bounty will be three taels per person."
Yang Guang waved his hand to signal these poor men to go down.
He didn't seem to care that the oracle bone inscriptions on the Secret of Immortality were copied, and issued another decree, inviting learned men who were still in the court to decipher the oracle bone inscriptions.
It is basically impossible for ordinary scholars from poor families to recognize the oracle bone inscriptions. Their role is to copy the oracle bone inscriptions.
But to decipher the oracle bone inscriptions, we still need knowledgeable people from aristocratic families and clans. Those people have read through the ancient and modern times and mastered a lot of knowledge. Now they have been invited by Yang Guang.
Old rules.
Different people decipher it separately. If they are different, let two people debate it, or ask another person to decipher it.
If several people have the same name, the word is determined.
Shi Long's eyes widened as he looked at the heated scenes in each room, feeling incredible once again.
"I have this secret of longevity in my hands. I have been studying it for three years without getting any results. But once it is in His Majesty's hands, he actually dares to do it!"
Shi Long thought about how ordinary people who obtain the Secret of Immortality would not disclose it to the public. They would only study it themselves, for fear that others would see it.
But when this longevity secret came into the hands of the Sui Emperor, he directly summoned all the learned people to study it together to understand the key.
Such a gesture is definitely a generous one.
Perhaps the Secret of Immortality has never fallen into the hands of a certain emperor since ancient times, and there has been basically no such major event in the entire history.
Educated people were in the house one after another, looking at the oracle bone inscriptions and translating them attentively.
What they saw was not even the Secret of Immortality, but words one after another.
After a little thought and verification, they understood the meaning of this word.
“There is one heaven and earth within the human body, and there is another heaven and earth outside the inner world.
If the inside and outside of heaven and earth are the same, then we have entered a mysterious realm.
If the heaven and earth inside and outside are different, you will enter another mysterious realm.
This is called the extreme change of yin and yang, and the impermanence of the great road."
Along with the translation by a group of learned scholars, the contents of the Secret of Immortality gradually appeared before us.
That's what the original oracle bone inscriptions actually meant.
After translating for some time, a sentence appeared in the oracle bone inscription of the Secret of Immortality:
"The external Qi is not exhausted, and the internal breath is not generated."
"The meaning of this sentence is very mysterious. Could it be that when the energy outside a person is exhausted, a breath can be automatically generated from the body? The breath does not have to come from the sky and outside, but the energy in the body is endlessly generated?
"
The only ones who can see these words completely are probably Su Li, Sui Emperor Yang Guang and Shi Long.
At this time, Shi Long read the newly translated words with a thoughtful expression on his face.
This state seems to be extremely mysterious and has reached an extremely advanced state.
"Is this why practitioners of Shattered Void can survive?"
Su Li also became very interested in these words.
The external Qi is not exhausted and the internal Qi is not generated.
If the internal Qi is generated, it will remain the same regardless of the external Qi.
When a practitioner has reached this state through practice, he no longer needs to rely on the breath of the outside world.
If you go into a vacuum, you can generate a lot of breath in your body to prevent yourself from being destroyed by the vacuum.
This may be the reason why those monks from Shattered Void were able to survive.
They themselves have already reached a stage where they do not rely on external energy to survive, so their physical bodies can cross the void, and they are still safe and sound even if they are outside the universe.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be unfair if the strong man who shattered the void died immediately after being shattered into an airless place?
Several people looked happy, even Sui Emperor Yang Guang.
Although he is not very proficient in martial arts, he sounds very smart at this level.
Time passed again, and some words of the article were translated.
This time the words are similar to those before.
It’s still about breathing.
Only by cutting off acquired respiration can the true breath in the body be activated, which is what Taoists call innate respiration.
If you can activate this innate breathing, you can do all kinds of incredible things. You can walk on the bottom of the sea and hold your breath for several hours without any harm.
Flying at the top of the sky, even if the air is thin, you can still persevere.
The Secret of Immortality actually reveals many profound realms.
"Three years of study is not as good as one day of deciphering by these great Confucian scholars. Is this the power of the imperial court?!"
Shi Long watched as the Secret of Immortality was gradually deciphered, and his mind was extremely shaken.
