In later life, a down-and-out Taoist monk traveled to the Qin Dynasty. At the beginning, he was mistaken for a sorcerer who was seeking immortality for the First Emperor. He thought he must be one of the hundreds of sorcerers who were trapped and killed.

But who could have known that the Taoism of later generations would blossom in this world!

All the Taoist skills that he had learned but could not use before blossomed into their former glory in his hands one by one!

Use the Seven Stars Life-Extending Technique to help the First Emperor achieve immortality!

Give the Yellow Turban warriors' skills to the generals to make them more capable of maneuvering!

When Taoism shines again, Taoism will eventually rise!

I am the leader of Taoism!

Suppress the Qin Dynasty and conquer the world!

In the 23rd year of Hongwu, the Han people had restored their country. However, China had been submerged for a hundred years. The heroic spirit of the powerful Han Dynasty, the elegance of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the fireworks of Bianliang that illuminated the world had all disappeared.

The backward grassland and decadent Neo-Confucianism combined to strangle the flourishing Han civilization. The newly born Ming Dynasty had to become conservative due to historical limitations. It was eventually destroyed by the Tartars and sank into darkness again.

Li Qi traveled through time and space as the son of Li Shanchang, the Duke of Han. Everywhere he looked, he saw families overthrown, blood flowing in the fields, and the sons of dukes and marquises in ruins. "I have one wish: for my family to prosper and for the world to be at peace!"

In the winter of the first year of the Yongle reign, there was a heavy snowfall. On his deathbed, Li Qi looked at his handsome young son, and recalled his own youth. "Mu'er, your father is about to die. He has lived a short life, with nothing good to say. I can only sigh that I have seven regrets that have not been fulfilled, and I cannot rest in peace.

I regret that my ancestors could not be cleared of their sins, and the Li family is still a criminal clan. This is because their descendants are unfilial.

The second regret is that the teachings of Cheng and Zhu are still popular, while few people respond to Hengqu's four sentences.

The third regret is that the Ming Dynasty could not recover the old territories of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The fourth regret is that I have never seen Jiaxuan’s old poem about the never-sleeping scene in Bianjing.

The fifth regret is that I don’t know the scenery of all the countries overseas.

My sixth regret is that I have never seen the way to eternal peace.

I regret not having traveled to the palaces of heaven, not knowing that among the stars there are infinite births and deaths."

"The Chang'e-1 lunar exploration spacecraft, developed by Chinese scientists, officially arrived on the moon today. Astronaut Li Bangyue left the spacecraft to explore. This is a great breakthrough in my country's space history!"

Nanjing, Li's Ancestral Hall.

"Li Bangcheng, the 30th generation head of the Li family, respectfully informs our ancestors that the descendants of the Li family have ascended to the heavenly palace. The seven great grievances have ended today!" (There is already a 20,000-copy book on the same subject, "Establishing a Millennium Family from King Wu's Conquest of King Zhou").

Her hair is inlaid with a white jade crown with nine palaces, and she is wearing a green silk robe with eight trigrams;

He wears Tai Chi Lianyun boots and has wide sleeves that flutter in the wind.

He is truly an extraordinary saint!

How do you know that?

The poem praises:

Zhong Zu's disciples comprehended the dragon and tiger, and practiced both nature and life, water and fire;

After swallowing a golden pill, I realized that my fate is not in the hands of God.

The face remains unchanged despite the turmoil of the sixty years, and the world is changing within my heart;

The Tao body has supernatural powers in the ordinary mind, and the original mind is free and at ease.

Shatter the void and reveal the secrets of heaven, endure the calamities and prove the truth by cutting off the black hair;

The two yin and yang were created when the heaven and earth were created, and Chen Daojun mediated the destiny.

What is a true immortal?

Lifting up the universe, grasping yin and yang, living as long as heaven and earth, with no end, this is the way of life.

I have a pot of magic soup. After drinking it, you will instantly become a Daluo Immortal.

Fellow Daoist, would you like to have a drink?
