Chapter 351 Wanting to Draw a Real Dragon for the Son of Heaven and Pretend to Be a Gentleman
Chapter 351: Want to draw a real dragon for the emperor (Additional update 210 for the leader of the Silver League to pretend to be a gentleman)
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Chunfeng immediately bowed and said: "I am all incompetent and unable to solve your majesty's worries. Please punish me!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and sighed: "I love you, don't blame yourself. Although you are an extraordinary genius in Lou Guan Taoism, you are still young in practice. And when it comes to subduing and eliminating demons, catching ghosts and identifying evil spirits, Lou Guan
Tao, naturally it is inferior to Longhu Mountain."
Li Daoxuan couldn't help but asked: "Your Majesty, what is going on?"
At this time, Li Chunfeng said: "During this period, Your Majesty often wakes up from nightmares and cannot sleep all night long. As a result, his spirit is haggard and his energy and blood are weak. If this continues, the consequences may be disastrous!"
"You suspect that there is a demon at work. How is this possible?"
Li Daoxuan frowned.
The dragon energy in Li Shimin's body was as bright as the sun, and no evil spirits could harm him.
Li Chunfeng obviously knew that this statement was outrageous, but he said with firm eyes: "The imperial doctor checked your majesty's pulse and everything was normal. They prescribed your majesty tranquilizing drugs, but there was no improvement."
"Besides, there is one thing that makes me sure that this must be the work of ghosts and gods!"
"What's up?"
Li Chunfeng said solemnly: "I once suggested to Your Majesty that you order two generals, Wei Chigong and Qin Qiong, to guard the door. They are both fierce generals who have experienced many battles. They possess the evil aura of dragons and tigers. They will run away whenever they see evil spirits."
"In the past two days, everything was as usual, but the two generals were mortal and could not guard them for a long time. So I drew their portraits myself and posted them in front of His Majesty's palace, but it had no effect!"
Li Daoxuan's heart moved. Isn't this the origin of the door god?
In "Journey to the West", the Dragon King of Jinghe River was killed by Wei Zheng in his dream. His soul resented Li Shimin for not saving him, so he came to question him in his dream every night, causing Li Shimin to have nightmares.
Later, two generals, Wei Chi Gong and Qin Qiong, were asked to come forward to guard the door, so that the old Dragon King did not dare to make any mistakes.
This is also the origin of the door god.
It's just that great changes have taken place now. The Dragon King of Jinghe is no longer there, but Li Shimin has also begun to have nightmares, even more serious. The picture of the general drawn by Li Chunfeng himself cannot suppress the unknown evil spirits.
From this point of view, what caused Li Shimin to have nightmares was really evil?
"Taichong, I know you are busy with your cultivation, and I didn't want to disturb you. However, during this period, I have already contacted Master Dongyangzi of Xuandu Temple, but he was also helpless."
Li Daoxuan nodded and said: "I know this, and I will try my best to help your majesty eradicate the evil spirits."
After saying that, he opened his eyes and looked at Li Shimin carefully, and found that there was nothing unusual about him. When he looked around, there was no trace of any demon.
This was within his expectation. After all, the Dragon Qi was so strong that even a big demon in the Yangshen Realm would never dare to set foot there.
"What can you see in Taichong?"
Li Shimin asked.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and said nothing.
Li Shimin sighed, if even Li Daoxuan, who came from Longhu Mountain, couldn't tell, maybe all this was really not caused by demons, but his... heart disease.
One thing he didn't tell others was that the same scene would appear in his nightmares every night, which was the Xuanwu Gate.
He dreamed that he suddenly appeared in front of the Xuanwu Gate. His dead brother Li Jiancheng and his younger brother Li Yuanji were both disheveled and bleeding. They pinched his throat and cursed loudly.
Whenever he was about to suffocate and die, he would wake up from his dream.
Maybe all this is really a punishment from God?
After enduring the torture of many nightmares, Li Shimin no longer had the same fighting spirit as before. His energy was haggard. Coupled with the severe drought in Chang'an, even the ambitious Li Shimin felt a little discouraged.
Li Chunfeng seemed to have noticed something was wrong with His Majesty's state. He stood up and said categorically: "Your Majesty, who has achieved great things since ancient times, has anyone ever said anything about it?"
"Qin Shihuang once burned books and harassed scholars, but he destroyed six kingdoms and achieved great unification. Liu Bang killed heroes, but founded the Han Dynasty for four hundred years. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an imperial edict to sin against himself, he rode in the desert to drive out the Xiongnu.
Across thousands of miles of yellow sand, how can the merits and demerits of future generations be judged by the people of the moment?"
Li Dao
Haven't we encountered too many natural disasters? Didn't we have the same prosperity today?"
"It's numerous fun to fight the destiny……"
Li Shimin savored this sentence and was moved by the grandeur contained in it. At the same time, he also looked deeply at Li Daoxuan.
The blood surged in his heart, and Li Shimin suddenly felt that he was much more energetic. At least the previous depression had disappeared, and his whole person felt refreshed and refreshed.
"I understand. They say that Wei Zheng dares to give direct advice. I think you two are not inferior to Wei Zheng at all, haha!"
Li Shimin laughed, his voice loud and powerful, and he had regained his former glory.
"Taichong is right, fighting against the sky is endless fun. This time, I really want to fight against the sky!"
Whether it is a severe drought or a nightmare, it seems to show a kind of providence. However, Li Shimin does not believe in evil. He not only wants to be an emperor, but also a good emperor that is rare throughout the ages!
At this moment, Li Daoxuan's voice sounded again.
"Your Majesty, actually I am not helpless. I have a method that I might try."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately looked at him, with hope in his eyes.
Although he has regained his fighting spirit, if he does not solve the nightmare problem, his body will be broken down sooner or later, his great achievements will be failed, and he may die young.
"any solution?"
Li Dao
"What painting?"
"dragon."
…
After a while, pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all ready.
Under Li Shimin's expectant gaze, Li Daoxuan began to draw a dragon with a splash of ink and a brush.
Li Chunfeng's eyes were solemn and he did not miss any detail.
The dragon is a divine beast of heaven and earth, with its own majesty. If the painting is exquisite and the form and spirit are complete, it can also suppress ghosts and ward off evil spirits.
It is said that Zhang Sengyao, a great painter of the Liang Dynasty, once painted dragons on the walls of Anle Temple in Jinling. The emperor found that the two dragons had no eyes and asked Zhang Sengyao why.
Zhang Sengyao replied: "If you draw eyes, they will fly away."
Everyone didn't believe it, so the emperor insisted that he add eyes, so Zhang Sengyao had to add eyes to one of the dragons. Suddenly, there was lightning and thunder, and the dragon actually flew away!
So now, there is only one dragon left on the wall of Anle Temple.
Li Chunfeng's painting skills are naturally far inferior to Zhang Sengyao's, but he is also a master of painting. The portraits he painted have reached the level of both form and spirit. He doesn't believe that Li Daoxuan can surpass him at such a young age?
Unless the opponent is at the level of Zhang Sengyao, painting is useless!
So he stared at Li Daoxuan's paintings carefully, not missing any detail. Li Shimin did the same, thinking that Li Daoxuan was about to paint a masterpiece.
However, it didn't take long for the two of them to look weirder.
Li Chunfeng's face was covered with black lines. Looking at those messy lines, his body was even trembling slightly.
"Absurd...ridiculous!"
Li Shimin coughed and his expression suddenly became very embarrassed.
If he agrees with Li Chunfeng, it will definitely make Li Daoxuan feel ashamed. He values this young Taoist master very highly.
But if he were to deny it and speak for Li Daoxuan...
Li Shimin thought about it and decided to forget it because he couldn't live with his conscience.
