Legend of the warlock

In ancient times, people engaged in astronomy, medicine, divination, cultivation of immortals and other activities were called warlocks.

A warlock of the Tang Wuzong dynasty.

Tang Wuzong likes the magical power of immortals, so many Taoists and alchemists come to Beijing all over the country. Zhao Guizhen explored the mystery of Taoism making lead and mercury, and everyone who saw him was in awe. He also asked the emperor to build a 100-foot-high king Sendai in the palace, thinking that he could control cranes by phoenix and set a date to go to the Qing Dynasty. He often said: flying refining must take raw silver. The emperor ordered to send people to Leping Mountain to dig, and soon labor was used on a large scale, but the quality of the mined stones and ores was poor, so there was no profit in making silver. Zhao Guizhen fasted for several days and sent the emperor's letter to the cave. Suddenly, an old man came up with a cane and said, "The treasure of mountains and rivers is obvious to those who have a way;" In addition, Ming Jun took practicing Taoism as his own responsibility. How can this not be felt? Don't worry about respecting the teacher. I will certainly comply with your request tomorrow. " Say that finish and went out, no one knows where he went. There was a thunder that night, and the mine on the mountain opened dozens of feet, and the silver liquid gushed out, which was just in line with the amount dedicated to the emperor. There are many people practicing in the palace, but few people outside know those spells. There are Jinling people, Xu Yuanchang and Wang Qiong, who are good at painting figures and are close to serving ghosts and gods. During the Huichang period, the emperor ordered them to be summoned to the capital and let them enter and leave the court. Tang Wuzong said to them, "I heard that there was an Amin Chongyan in the former dynasty who used Fu 'an well and often brought oranges from Luofu Mountain to the emperor. Wan Li's journey, once and for all, only took ten days. Isn't my teacher's magic inferior to that of the previous dynasty? Not as good as Chongming Yan? " Dean Xu got up and declined politely and said, "I haven't reached the mysterious realm when I accept magic." If I write a poem about mountains and seas, I am afraid I will cheat Shengde; But thousands of miles away, I can arrive in less than a day. "Wu Zong said:" Luoyang, the eastern capital, often pays tribute to pomegranates, and it is ripe now. You must get ten tonight. "Xu, dean of the decree and went out. At dawn, as soon as the emperor's bedroom was opened, he put the pomegranate in a golden plate and put it on the royal couch. After a while, the angel of the palace went into the temple and reported to the emperor the number of lost pomegranates. Effective adaptations of spells are all in this category. Wang Qiong is good at forbidding things and can do anything. In winter, he buried the medicine under several peach and apricot trees. One night, many flowers were all in full bloom, with strong and bright fragrance, and faded after more than a month. After his death in Tang Wuzong, Zhao Guizhen and Wang Qiongquan were exiled to Lingnan. Only Xu Yuanchang escaped, and no one knows where he went.
