Xiao Changle, the boy who scattered wealth
Jia Nai is a kind of jade ornament on the head of the ancients, which is a symbol of status, and Jia Luo means the palace of the king. Therefore, Li Daoxuan gave Changle the Taoist name He Jia, which is very suitable for her status.
At the same time, it also places Li Daoxuan's hope on Changle. She has a special status. She is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty. Even if she worships Longhu Mountain, she cannot hide in the mountains to practice like ordinary disciples, regardless of the world of mortals.
Her identity is destined to be closely linked to the fate of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Daoxuan hopes that she can become the link between the Tang Dynasty and the Taoist sect, and become a shining jade bead in the world of mortals.
"Hejia meets the master!"
Xiao Changle happily bowed down and accepted Hejia's title. From then on, he was not only her husband, but also her master!
After she finished the apprenticeship ceremony, Li Daoxuan smiled and touched her head, and took out a crystal clear bead from the Three Realms Gourd, which was filled with dots of blue light.
The whole palace seemed to be blown by the fresh sea breeze, refreshing people's spirits.
"These are the Mermaid Teardrops. They were obtained when I was slaying demons for my master in Xuzhou. Wearing them by your side can prolong your life, protect you from all kinds of diseases, and most importantly, keep your appearance forever."
Li Daoxuan handed the beads to her and said with a smile: "Today is your birthday, these tears can be considered a gift from my teacher."
Changle's little hand held a teardrop as big as a pebble. At a young age, she didn't know how precious it was to have an eternal appearance, but she liked this bead very much because it was so beautiful, even more beautiful than the largest luminous pearl in the palace!
The rest of the royal family, especially the women, were filled with envy when they saw this scene.
They may not care about longevity and immunity from all diseases, but they cannot care about their appearance!
How many ordinary women can resist the temptation of eternal beauty?
Therefore, pairs of fiery eyes were immediately fixed on Li Daoxuan, not only the princess, but also Li Shimin's concubine.
The teardrop in Changle's hand was given by Master Li. No one dared to touch it, but they wanted to ask for another teardrop from Master Li.
Li Dao
Li Shimin smiled slightly and looked at the happy-looking Xiao Changle, feeling sad in his heart that his daughter finally didn't just give away things.
At this moment, Changle took out a small purse from his arms and carefully poured out a few colorful beads. The texture was smooth and shiny, shining in the sun.
Li Shimin frowned, these beads... why do they look so familiar?
"Master, I secretly took these out from my father's treasury. They look very beautiful. Changle specially selected the largest and most beautiful ones for you!"
After a pause, she whispered: "Father thought I didn't know that he has a small secret room in the imperial study room. There are many beautiful beads in it. If master likes it, Changle will get it for you!"
puff!
Li Shimin, who was regarded as the emperor, actually spit out a mouthful of tea at this moment.
He looked shocked as he looked at those priceless beads, including pearls, agates and jade, all of which were of the highest quality in the world. He had selected them from tributes from various countries and put them into a private treasury that only he knew about.
It is difficult for the emperor to do things without money, and that small treasury is also a back-up he left to himself.
No wonder it looks so familiar...
Because these are his beads!!!
Li Shimin suddenly found that his precious daughter had become a little strange. Is this the same little Changle who once liked to cling to him and act coquettishly in his arms?
Are you sure you're not a money-splitting boy?
"Ahem!"
Li Shimin coughed, and just as he was about to say something, he was greeted by Empress Changsun's penetrating gaze.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that sage kings always regard the country as their home and set up private treasury, which will only make the king gradually indulge in pleasure. I hope your Majesty will take this as a warning."
After a pause, Empress Changsun continued: "Your Majesty has also rewarded me with some treasures over the years. Now I would like to dedicate them all to the national treasury, and I hope that your Majesty will grant me your permission."
Li Shimin was moved in his heart. The queen's words were both admonitions and at the same time fully considered his face.
The queen wanted him to take the opportunity to return the treasures in the private treasury to the national treasury, so as not to tell the truth. At the same time, this matter was approved by him, and all the officials would praise his sage.
What moved him most was that he knew the Queen's character very well. If she said she would give all the treasures, she would definitely do it, and she would never just say it verbally.
Over the years, the Queen has scrimped on food and clothing, wearing no more expensive clothes or treasures. Her phoenix robe has not been replaced for many years. Whenever he needs money, the Queen is always the first to take out all the money saved to help him.
Solve urgent needs.
The concubines in the harem originally liked to wear gold and silver and compete for beauty, but under the Queen's example, the entire harem was not only very harmonious, but no one wanted to compare themselves to luxury.
Most of the queens in the past dynasties became richer and richer after their mother's death in the world, but few were like Empress Changsun. Not only was she not rich, but her dowry was getting less and less.
"The queen is right, the matter in the private treasury is my fault."
Li Shimin was very moved and took the queen's hand. He loved and respected his married wife in his heart. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for.
When Xiao Changle heard this, his big eyes were still a little disappointed.
Her father's little treasury is gone, and she will no longer be able to steal treasures to give to her master...
Li Daoxuan accepted the jewelry, touched her head, and said with a smile: "I will teach you a sleeping technique later and see how qualified you are."
Changle nodded, his eyes full of expectation.
But she didn't know what she thought of, and asked in a low voice: "Master, does it take long to practice? I'm afraid of missing the appointment with sister Yan'er."
Li Daoxuan didn't know who Yan'er was, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed that when he first met Changle, she mentioned the name Yan'er.
To be called sister by her, she must be a relative of the emperor. Li Daoxuan didn't take it to heart and said with a smile: "It shouldn't be long."
…
An hour later, the banquet ended and the royal family members all left the palace.
Li Daoxuan refused one invitation after another from the powerful kings and grandsons, and began to give guidance on Xiao Changle's practice.
In the imperial garden, the wind is clear, the sunshine is warm, and the flowers are in full bloom.
Changle lay flat on her back in the pavilion, concentrating and holding her breath, and began to practice according to the formula taught by Li Daoxuan. She made Taoist seals with her hands, bent her knees, straightened her waist, her heart sank into the deep valley, and kept quiet to recite, and her whole body slowly relaxed.
"Take obstacles and fill them up, steal the sky and deceive destiny, transport the fire of the palace in the south, refine the gold in the water in the north..."
Li Daoxuan's voice was gentle and gentle, like morning bells and evening drums. It had a strange power to calm the mind. Under his guidance, Xiao Changle's breathing became lighter and slower.
When she completely entered that state of dreaming but not dreaming, half awake but not awake, Li Daoxuan nodded slightly, with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.
Despite his guidance, I was able to enter the state of practice for the first time. This qualification is already quite impressive, and my understanding is also outstanding.
What Li Daoxuan taught her was, of course, the "Peng Zugu Xian Wo Yin Kung". This sleep technique is very suitable for laying the foundation. It is an excellent foundation method for the Bigu stage, and it has a miraculous effect in improving the state of mind and extending lifespan.
If placed in some small sects, it would be enough to become the fundamental method passed down by the sect.
Xiao Changle quickly entered the state, and Li Daoxuan was guarding her. As a master, he must always pay attention to the problems encountered by his disciples during their practice and ensure their safety.
Half an hour later, Xiao Changle fell asleep hazily, his mouth slightly open, looking very naive.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and laughed, but he finally felt relieved.
After practicing for the first time, he was able to enter samadhi for half an hour. Changle's qualifications are already one in a thousand. Looking at the entire Longhu Mountain, only Junior Sister Taiwei can be better than her.
As expected, dragon begets dragon and phoenix begets phoenix.
Seeing Xiao Changle sleeping, Li Daoxuan pointed a little, and the last remaining bit of Kunlun jade paste turned into white light and poured into her mouth.
In an instant, Changle's whole body was filled with white light, and her already white and tender skin became smoother, like the legendary jade girl, and her temperament instantly became more ethereal.
This is also the blessing that Li Daoxuan gave to his apprentice, to help her secretly cut off the hair, wash the marrow, and improve the bones.
In the end, Li Daoxuan left her a bottle of Bigu Pill, and wrote a letter telling her how to take the medicine. He also gave her a few words of advice, telling her to practice diligently and not to slack off. He would come to check in a few days, and then left.
.
There were secret guards guarding the Imperial Garden, so Li Daoxuan was naturally not worried about her safety.
He was also ready to practice, but now Moro was secretly plotting some conspiracy. The string in his heart was always tense, and the sense of crisis was always there.
Only by becoming stronger can we cope with the ever-changing changes and stay in an invincible position!
…
Changle's sleep was particularly sweet. When she woke up, the sun was almost setting.
She was covered with a Taoist robe, which had the Master's breath on it, which was very warm.
She just felt refreshed and her body seemed to have endless strength. Unfortunately, the master was no longer around. Fortunately, she saw the letter and the elixir left by the master, and knew that the master would come again in a few days.
Then he smiled.
At this time, she saw her father and mother approaching slowly.
"Changle, your master said that you have excellent qualifications and outstanding understanding. Haha, you are worthy of being my daughter!"
Li Shimin was very proud.
Empress Changsun pinched her daughter's face, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. Changle's skin seemed to have gotten better, and it felt like milk.
"Changle, the Taoist sect has the most important inheritance. Since you have worshiped the master, you must be more filial to him in the future. Remember, you must not neglect Master Li, nor make the princess lose your temper, nor lose your sense of proportion like you did with your father."
Xiao Changle nodded very seriously.
Li Shimin choked and felt that something was not right.
