People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 251 On the way to Chaozhou Road, there are eight thousand snows in the blue pass, and the horses are stalled. Xiangzi pays tribute to Han Yu three times! 【Please subscribe】

As soon as he finished speaking, many civil and military officials in the Jinluan Palace were stunned on the spot.

He looked at Emperor Tang with a look of disbelief.

Chaozhou can be found in the southern border of the Tang Dynasty.

It's far away from Chang'an.

Not only is the land barren and the people poor, but it is also smoggy and smoggy.

Moreover, most of the people were ignorant, cunning, and uneducated. Many officials who came to Chaozhou suffered terribly from this.

In the past, only guilty officials would be demoted there by the court.

Now, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants Han Yu to go to Chaozhou to educate the people and make good work and profit. Isn't this a difficult task?

What's more, Han Yu is already an old man.

At such an old age, one cannot withstand hardships. What if something bad happens on the road?

Even if he could arrive in Chaozhou safely, at his current age, how much energy would Han Yu have to devote to Chaozhou?

If you do nothing in office, will you die in Chaozhou?

The ministers were thinking about this, and they clearly felt that the Holy One wanted to severely punish Han Yu!

Demoting him to Chaozhou would be a dead end for him!
At this moment, Han Yu was also stunned. He never expected that the Holy Emperor would ask him to go to the remote, bitter and wet place in southern Xinjiang.

But if the king wants his minister to die, it would be unfaithful to refuse to die.

Even though the future was uncertain, Han Yu had already put life and death aside.

Therefore, after hearing what the Holy Father said, he agreed without even thinking about it and said in a deep voice:
"The grassroots obey the order!"

"But the common people hope that His Majesty will fulfill his promise and will no longer welcome Buddha's bones into Chang'an."

Seeing Han Yu's response, Emperor Tang thought for a moment and then said:

"I heard that there are many dragons causing trouble in Chaozhou. If Mr. Han Aiqing can solve this problem within ten months after taking office, I will promise not to welcome Buddha bones to the capital again."

The people of Chaozhou have been plagued by dragons for a long time, but this dragon is quite powerful, with sharp teeth and ferocious temperament, even better than tigers, leopards, and jackals.

Every year, many people die at the mouth of the dragon!

Previously, many Chaozhou governors racked their brains and could not think of a way to solve this disaster.

In the view of Emperor Tang, it was simply impossible to order Han Yu to solve the problem of the dragon.

Impossible!
If he really solved this misfortune, it means that God's will is on his side, and the Emperor of Tang Dynasty would no longer insist on welcoming the Buddha's bones into Chang'an.

Regardless of whether he demoted Han Yu to Chaozhou, or whether he solved the Chaozhou dragon disaster within ten months after taking office, it was not the original intention of the Tang emperor.

He just wanted Han Yu to retreat in spite of the difficulties.

However, Han Yu is too stubborn!
He insisted on admonishing him for refusing to accept the Buddha's bones.

In desperation, Emperor Tang could only do this.

Things have reached such a situation that they are irreversible.

Seeing this, all the civil and military officials shook their heads helplessly.

When Han Li and others learned that Han Yu was going to Chaozhou, they had no choice but to worry about him.

Previously, the minister, who was in his prime, was ordered to inspect Chaozhou. After waiting for half a year, he returned to Chang'an and was seriously ill.

For Han Yu to go there at such an advanced age, it could be said that he had a narrow escape from death.

After the matter of welcoming the Buddha's bones was finalized, Han Yu did not stay in the court for a long time. He said goodbye to His Majesty and left the palace first.

After leaving the city gate, Han Yu looked up at the clear blue sky and felt a sense of intimacy for no reason.

Maybe soon, he will no longer be able to see...

That's the day, let's go to the morning.

The fact that Han Yu was demoted to Chaozhou spread like wildfire in Chang'an City.

In just half a day, the city was filled with uproar.

at the same time.

His article "Admonition to the Bones of the Buddha" also flowed out of the palace for some reason.

Once word spread, it caused a sensation throughout Chang'an.

As a literary sect of the generation, Han Yu has not published any new articles for a long time.

Now, the publication of the "Admonition to Buddha's Bone Table" has directly attracted the attention of the people of Chang'an.

No matter the dignitaries or the common people, everyone pays attention to it.

Not to mention anything else, just the name "Admonition to the Buddha's Bone Table" attracted enough attention.

Right now, who among the people in Chang'an doesn't know that the Holy Master wants to welcome the Buddha's bones in person?
At this opportunity, Han Yu wrote this list, clearly to dissuade him.

"Changli Gong's articles are still so thought-provoking, like being influenced by a good teacher and inspiring."

"Gong Changli is right. Once Buddhism flourishes in the Tang Dynasty, it will inevitably stop the people from producing, and it will also affect the majority of officials. From now on, they will only opportunistically and follow the trend."

"If this is the case, how can our Tang Dynasty still have any prosperity?"

"..."

After reading this "Admonition to the Bones of the Buddha", all the scholars became impassioned, supporting Han Yu and denouncing Buddhism.

Even the dignitaries and others criticized the emperor for personally welcoming the Buddha's bones.

After all, if Buddhism really flourished in the Tang Dynasty, once the people stopped producing, how could the landlords make a profit, even if they had to eat fast and chant the Buddha's name?

Some people support it, and naturally some people oppose it.

Those who believed deeply in Buddhism, when they saw this "Admonition to the Bones of the Buddha", they all cursed Han Yu, thinking that he was relying on his old age and despising me, the Buddha!

In short, with the arrival of Han Yu in Beijing and the publication of "Admonition to the Bones of the Buddha", a wave of "debate against Buddha" was aroused in Chang'an.

But these have nothing to do with Han Yu.

After returning to the Han Mansion, he tidied up a little, and in the early morning three days later, he took a carriage with his personal servants and several loyal guards, and drove slowly out of Chang'an, heading straight for Chaozhou.

But the controversy over the reception of the Buddha's bones has not ceased.

……

……

boom!
On this day, in the treasure palace of Lihentian, the sound of thundering and roaring avenue suddenly came out.

In a piece of heaven and earth, a dense nine-color cloud rose from the palace.

Among the festive clouds, fairy mist intertwined, the sand glow was looming, and the clear light suddenly appeared.

As soon as he was born, the world trembled.

At that time, Han Xiangzi, who had been in seclusion here for several days, finally opened his eyes.

Looking at the happy clouds in the sky, he smiled slightly.

Immediately, with a move of his hand, the nine-color Qingyun turned into a wisp of smoke and flew to the front, and soon it was hidden behind Han Xiangzi.

After being blended into the Taiqing Nine Treasures Dansha, the power of Han Xiangzi's Nine Color Qingyun was greatly increased.

The Ordinary Star King is here, and he can be defeated with just one brush of Qingyun!

Coupled with the fact that he holds a real weapon, he can still compete with him even if he encounters a powerful Star Lord who has achieved calamity!
Not long after, Han Xiangzi moved and turned into a rainbow of light and rushed out of the jade palace.

"Little Taoist priest, you have come out of seclusion!"

Outside the hall, Ao Jiao, who had been waiting here, saw this and immediately stepped forward with excitement.

"Princess, during the past few days of Pindao's retreat, has Master ever been here?"

Han Xiangzi smiled and asked.

"not at all."

Ao Jiao shook his head.

As soon as she finished speaking, the space in front of her eyes surged, and not long after, a figure with a cane walked out.

"I have seen Master!"

Seeing Tieguai Li appear, Han Xiangzi hurriedly bowed his head.

At the same time, Ao Jiao also quickly bowed.

Seeing that Han Xiangzi had been in seclusion for a few days and his cultivation had improved a bit, Tieguai Li couldn't help but smile and said:

"Xiangzi, your great-uncle Han Yu is currently in trouble, and your master has asked you to descend to earth immediately to save him."

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi's face changed slightly.

If his guess is correct, the poem he wrote on his great-uncle's [-]th birthday that day, "Where is the cloud in the Qinling Mountains, and the snow embraces the blue, and the horse can't move forward" will soon come true.

In other words, Han Yu was demoted to Chaozhou.

When he thought of this, Han Xiangzi also knew that the time had come, so he nodded in agreement:

"Uncle Sir, please tell me that I will go to the human world right away."

After saying that, he immediately said goodbye to Tieguai Li, pulling Ao Jiao with him. A mysterious light bloomed under his feet, and his figure had left here.As soon as Tieguai Li sensed it, he discovered that Han Xiangzi had left Lihentian in just a few breaths!

"As expected of the eight bodies of the Heavenly Lord, he has undergone such a transformation after just taking a first look at the door..."

Looking at this scene, Tieguai Li murmured.

After watching Han Xiangzi and Ao Jiao leave, Tieguai Li returned to the Bajing Palace.

……

……

But said.

After Han Yu and his party left Chang'an, they had to cross the Qinling Mountains before they could reach Chaozhou.

However, God has been unfavorable in recent days.

Shortly after Han Yu left Chang'an, the weather turned cold.

When we arrived in Lantian County, it snowed heavily.

In less than half a day, the entire Lantian County was covered in silver and the mountains were covered with snow.

It was so cold that the horses couldn't walk.

Even the guards following Han Yu shivered coldly and kept rubbing their hands to warm themselves.

Han Yu in the sedan was also having a hard time.

His legs were already stiff from the cold, and his mouth was almost dry.

"Master, the snow is coming hard. It's getting late now. Let's rest here for the night before heading on our way."

The young man from Liang'an exhaled white air and said with cold teeth chattering.

"Then quickly find a place to stay."

Han Yu replied without thinking.

"Master, there are no people in this area for several miles. The snow is getting heavier and heavier. It is not easy to stay overnight. It is better to stay in the mountain col in front and light a fire to keep warm."

Liang'an looked around and saw that there was no smoke rising at dusk, let alone any fire.

And the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the goose-feather snow is falling, almost reaching the ankles in the blink of an eye.

It would be difficult if we were on the road again.

Therefore, he made a prompt decision and discussed it with Han Yu.

"That's fine too."

Han Yu opened the curtains and nodded slightly when he saw the cold wind and the frost and snow like salt.

After burning a stick of incense, the group of people walked to a mountain col ahead with some difficulty and stopped.

Several guards were searching for firewood nearby.

But it was freezing cold and the snow was heavy, so the firewood we found was naturally wet and heavy.

Liang'an and several other servants worked hard for a long time, but they still couldn't light the fire.

Not long after, the fire in his body was also wet by the rain and snow, and was completely extinguished.

"Ugh……"

Han Yu was sitting in the sedan chair and could only sigh helplessly when he saw this scene.

Looking at the people outside who were turning purple from the cold, he ordered:

"You guys should hurry up and squeeze in the car. It will help you stay warm."

Done.

The few people in the parking space immediately swarmed into the sedan, and within a short time, six or seven people were crowded within a few feet.

But even so, it was still freezing.

The snow fell heavily, and in less than a cup of tea, the carriage was covered.

At this moment, even if everyone hugged each other, they still felt cold.

at the same time.

The sky outside was also dark, and it was completely dark.

……

An hour passed, and everyone's hands and feet were numb with ice, and even their eyebrows were covered with a layer of light frost.

Among them, one of the guards felt that he could hardly stand it any longer. He said feebly:
"Master, what's happened is that we can't light a fire to keep warm. I'm afraid we're going to freeze to death here tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang An retorted:

"Bullshit!"

"Master, Ji Ren has his own destiny, how could he freeze to death here?"

However, his voice was also a little weak.

"Boy An, why am I talking nonsense? Who can bear the cold outside in such heavy snow weather all night?"

The guard argued.

"you……"

Hearing this, Liang An was about to speak, but faced the man's face that was purple with cold, he swallowed the words when he reached his lips.

He was right. The weather was so cold and everyone was hungry and freezing all night. How could they withstand it?
Suddenly, Liang An seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly asked Han Yu:

"Sir, isn't the eldest son of our Han family a national advisor personally appointed by the late emperor?"

"It is said that reciting his precious edict is very effective. Why don't you give it a try, or else he will show up to save everyone!"

After finishing speaking, Han Yu did not answer. He just looked at the white sky and earth outside and asked softly:

"Liang'an, where is this?"

"Sir, this is Lantian County under the Qinling Mountains."

Hearing this, Liang'an and others looked at each other and replied immediately.

"Qinling, Lantian?"

Upon hearing this, Han Yu opened his mouth slightly and repeated the sentence softly.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, his pupils shrank, and a look of surprise and realization appeared on his face:
"I understand, I finally understand..."

Han Yu shook his head as he spoke, his expression sometimes regretful and sometimes self-deprecating, which shocked Liang An and others.

"Old...Master, what's wrong with you? What do you understand?"

Liang An was confused and asked cautiously.

"Where is Yun Heng's family in Qinling? The snow embraces the blue gate and the horse stops moving forward. Isn't this the scene before us?"

Han Yu looked at the crowd and preached.

"Master, what time has it been? How come you are still in the mood to recite poetry?"

Liang'an was stunned when he heard this poem, thinking it was a poem written by Han Yu improvising.

After all, he is less than 30 years old.

And Han Yu is already an old man this year, more than 20 years have passed since he turned sixty.

At that time, Han Xiangzi was making wine at his birthday banquet, and Liang'an had never heard of this poem he wrote.

"No, this poem was written by Xiangzi."

"He made it at my 60th birthday party. At that time, I didn't understand the reason. Looking at it now, it fits the current scene."

Han Yu shook his head and said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was horrified, their eyes widened, and they said in disbelief:
"what?!"

"Sir, are you saying that this poem was written by the Celestial Master Dongxiao Guangji?"

"This... how is this possible?"

"Did he predict more than 20 years ago that the master would one day be demoted to Chaozhou for disobeying Long Yan?"

"..."

If this is true, no one can imagine how capable Han Xiangzi is?
As early as 20 years ago, he had understood Han Yu's disaster and wrote down his mottos.

Seeing that everyone was shocked by Han Xiangzi's previous action, Han Yu even sighed:
"It's a pity that I didn't understand it thoroughly after all. Only when disaster happened to me did I realize the wonders of the mystical arts in the world..."

At the end of his speech, Han Yu's tone was extremely weak, as if he might die at any time like a candle in the wind.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

Liang'an and others came to their senses, only to see Han Yu's eyes were slightly closed and his breathing was weak. He immediately looked horrified and shouted quickly.
