Chapter Eighty-Nine: Bragging and Not Drafting
Yang Yun and Songmei are the protagonists, and they can't be low-key if they want to.
The Taoist priest with a goatee returned the salute to the familiar visitor, then squeezed through the crowd and walked straight to Yang Yun and Songmei, obviously getting guidance in advance.
"These two are Martial Venerable Daoists, right?"
The other party greeted directly, "The family teacher has invited the two of you to the Sanqing Palace." ”
Songmei made a gesture and asked, "...... is it that you didn't ask the commander?" ”
The other party said: "The family teacher is the head of the Fa Chongdao." ”
Fa Chong is the master of Qingyang Palace, and he is the number one who coordinates the overall situation.
Although Fa Ling has come forward a lot, he is only a third-in-command, specially responsible for external propaganda, and above him there is a Fa Haidao chief who specializes in internal affairs.
And the inheritance rules of Qingyang Palace are selected from the disciples of the previous lord, which means that the status of the lord is very high, and the lord in the future is likely to be the middle-aged Taoist priest with a goatee in front of him.
"Even the proud disciple of Fa Chongdao Chief, Daoist Huiyuan, doesn't know that you are really lonely and unheard." Someone next to him laughed.
Songmei coped with this kind of scene, and said with ease: "If you haven't heard of it, you haven't heard of it, is it like some people who don't know it and still pretend to be a long-time admirer?" Master and nephew Huiyuan, please lead the way! ”
Songmei regarded herself as a generation with Fa Chong and Fa Ling, and she was not so polite to Huiyuan.
Megubara didn't show annoyance, bowed and gave way, making a gesture of please.
Songmei took Yang Yun, Wang Ji and Yidan to the front, and a group of people behind them were talking.
Out of the dam, there is another promenade, planted with dwarf pines on both sides.
Huiyuan was beside him, and Yang Yun couldn't communicate with Songmei and Wang Ji, so he was silent all the way.
Walking to the end of the corridor, Hui Yuan reminded: "Uncle Fa Ling is discussing things with many Taoist friends who have come from afar, don't make noise when you go in, don't disturb them." ”
Yang Yun had long expected that it was impossible for Qingyang Palace to sincerely invite each other to discuss matters, and people had already held a meeting, probably because they encountered some kind of change in the middle of the way, so they invited "Wuzun Zhenren" to go.
"Why don't you gather all the Taoist friends outside to discuss things together?" Songmei asked nonchalantly.
Meguhara didn't explain, and the smile on his face was a little contemptuous...... Even if he gave Yang Yun enough face to his apprentice on the surface, in fact, the future successor of Qingyang Palace did not take an old Taoist priest of unknown origin in his eyes at all, and it was already benevolent and righteous to come out to invite him in person.
Songmei wanted to ask, but Yang Yun pulled him, and Songmei withdrew her gaze and entered the courtyard at the end of the corridor.
"Senior Brother Huiyuan, Uncle Hui Yuan has sent someone out to urge me just now."
A young disciple stepped forward and saluted.
Hui Yuan frowned and said, "What's the hurry, this person has been invited?" You bring people in. ”
Hui Yuan did not enter the Sanqing Hall with Songmei and Yang Yun, but only let the young disciple lead the way, while he turned around and went to the other side by himself.
Yang Yun's eyes wandered around Hui Yuan's back for a while, and he roughly understood in his heart: "He is the person who went to entertain the family lords in the city, and those are the parents of Qingyang Palace." ”
……
……
The Sanqing Palace is tall and majestic, the golden light is shining from the outside, the glazed jade tiles, the momentum is extraordinary.
Songmei looked up and admired, envious, and muttered, "Sooner or later, I will build one." ”
Before entering the temple gate, he could hear the sound of talking from inside, and someone was talking there, Yang Yun listened a little and found that it was related to alchemy.
A few people came in and no one announced, and there were seats in the corner for a few people to sit down, but there were only two seats, which meant that Yi Dan and Wang Ji could only stand in the back and listen.
The person presiding over the deliberations of Qingyang Palace was none other than Fa Ling, whom Yang Yun had seen before.
There was a person sitting next to Fa Ling, who was also Yang Yun's old acquaintance, Wu Yuan, a female Taoist priest who had seen him privately before.
Song Mei and Yang Yun came in, the conversation in the hall was not interrupted, and it seemed that no one was paying attention, but in fact, Wu Yuan's eyes kept staring, she was very interested in Song Mei and Yang Yun.
As soon as he sat down, after one person over there finished speaking, Fa Ling took over the conversation: "In this way, if you want to refine a good elixir, you must have a good furnace...... I don't know what the virtuous nephew thinks? ”
The object of his questioning was Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan lowered his head, as if he was not satisfied with what the man said before, and said, "Actually, the most important thing is to find an experienced Dan master and a good Dan Fang, as for the furnace ding...... As long as there is care, the materials and craftsmen are not a problem, and it is not a problem to create them. ”
Yang Yun listened for a while, and probably understood what was going on.
In these years, cultivation and alchemy are inseparable.
In addition to being able to spell, Taoist priests must also be good at refining pills, the more famous Taoist priests are, the more they are valued for their ability in alchemy, Wu Yuan's master Changchun Zhenren is in Guanzhong and has dealings with powerful people, and the demand for this will not be less. Changchun Zhenren was willing to send his disciples to help Qingyang Palace, because he wanted to take the opportunity to collect a batch of Danfang in Jiannan Road to see if there was any merit.
Fa Ling asked, "What kind of Dan Master and Dan Fang are the virtuous nephews looking for?" ”
Wu Yuan said solemnly: "The art of yellow and white is nothing more than to seek a panacea, which can strengthen the body, enhance mana, and prolong life, as for the elixir, of course, it is for longevity." ”
"Huh?"
When the Taoist priests present heard that they were looking for a pill that could make people immortal, they were all shocked.
Since ancient times, all the monks who are close to the royal family will be asked whether there is an elixir of immortality in this world, and to be valued by the emperor means that you must know how to make alchemy.
Tang Xuanzong has advocated Taoism since he ascended the throne, and some of the Taoist masters around him are all kinds of pills that he has seen before, and Changchun Zhenren, as a famous Taoist priest in Guanzhong, is looking for a pill that can refine the elixir to please the emperor, which is a reasonable thing.
Fa Ling was very embarrassed.
He asked the disciples of Changchun Zhenren to help, but as a result, they asked him for the pill recipe for refining the elixir, not to mention that the Qingyang Palace did not have it, and even if there were, it was impossible to take it out...... If anyone really has this kind of pill, I am afraid that they have long lived in seclusion and practiced by themselves, and become immortals, how can they easily take it out to achieve the reputation of others?
Fa Ling's face was extremely ugly, he looked around the hall, and said loudly: "Whoever of you has a good Dan recipe, just take it out, Qingyang Palace will definitely not treat it lightly." ”
"There are good pills, but who will bring them with them? The art of yellow and white depends more on chance, if there is no providence, no matter how good the Dan recipe is, it will not be able to refine the elixir. Someone commented.
Pills are originally deceptive things, and those Taoist priests who have a certain degree of achievement and reputation usually think of a lot of excuses in order to avoid being told that their pills are useless.
In this way, there is the same Dan formula, materials and refining techniques, but the saying that different pills will be refined, which is nothing more than telling the world that I don't know how to refine the pill, nor that my Dan prescription is not good enough, but it is just that I have not obtained the heavenly opportunity, and this furnace of pills has not reflected the efficacy.
So, you have to increase the cost to help me refine the pill.
"Whoever has a good Danfang, don't cherish the broom."
Wu Yuan saw that everyone present was arguing about some and not, so he couldn't help but take the initiative to ask. Then she looked around and her eyes fell on Songmei, as if she wanted to get the answer from Songmei.
Yang Yun thought to herself: "No wonder she came to me privately before, and asked about cultivation, and her feelings fell here...... I said that I wouldn't be able to cultivate talismans, so she didn't continue to ask about alchemy, in her eyes, these studies complement each other, and I don't think about it anymore, and it's not common for me to ask. ”
"Senior Wuzun, are you good at alchemy?" Wu Yuan asked.
When Fa Ling heard the words "Wuzun senior", his cheeks twitched, and his eyes fell on Songmei, as if he had found something to be surprised by, and said: "Yes, Wuzun Daoist is good at talismans, and he must have a lot of knowledge in alchemy...... Nephew, you should ask his opinion more. ”
This is ill-intentioned.
This time, Songmei was specially called, it seems that it is just to find a shield, and it would be great if Songmei could be embarrassed.
The eyes of everyone present gathered, and Songmei suddenly became the target of everyone.
Songmei pretended to be calm and relaxed, not to mention how excited he was, he covered half of his face with his sleeve, turned his head sideways and asked in a low voice, "Good apprentice, how do you answer?" ”
"Do you know alchemy?" Yang Yun asked.
Songmei said: "Good at this." ”
Yang Yun didn't expect that Songmei was good at something, and he also knew that the "refinement" in Songmei's mouth was at most just that he had tried to refine it, and he didn't succeed in it, but at least he had personal experience.
Songmei saw that Yang Yun had a look of disbelief on her face, and explained in a low voice: "I have been alchemy for many years as a teacher, otherwise how can I save my net worth now?" ”
Yang Yun said: "Then you are exaggerating, and the more you say yourself, the better." ”
"Huh?"
Songmei was stunned for a while, and didn't understand what Yang Yun meant for a while.
Songmei started from the impersonation of Wuzun Zhenren, Yang Yun has always reminded him to keep a low profile, but this time he made him act in a high-profile manner, and he had to use exaggerated techniques, which was a little unclear.
Seeing that Songmei didn't answer, Fa Ling muttered to his disciple, frowning, "Martial Venerable Daoist, Poor Dao asks if you have a unique insight into alchemy?" Is it because the poor road is not loud enough? ”
Fa Ling's tone was not good, and someone next to him immediately helped: "Wu Zun, what does Fa Ling Immortal Elder ask you for, answer quickly!" ”
Songmei put down her sleeves and glanced at the man coldly, then she looked back at Fa Ling and said, "Whether the poor Dao will do alchemy or not, what does it have to do with you?" ”
Fa Ling was stunned by the question.
Although all the people present are cultivators, they all have a certain tendency, whoever has a good relationship with Qingyang Palace can be invited to Sanqing Palace, those who have nothing to do with Qingyang Palace, or have grievances, are still drinking the northwest wind on the dam outside.
The only exception is the "Wuzun Zhenren" master and apprentice.
Fa Ling said: "Today is to gather all Dao friends to sit and discuss the Tao, and take the strengths of others to make up for their own shortcomings, why can't you do something ulterior Wuzun Daoist?" ”
Fa Ling's words were very polite.
Songmei didn't answer immediately, he kept Yang Yun's explanation in mind, and showed his arrogant side at all times.
You're not kind to me, and I'm too lazy to take care of you!
Wu Yuan saw that the scene was very stiff, and knew that the festival between Qingyang Palace and "Wuzun Zhenren" got up and saluted politely: "The junior just wants to ask Wuzun seniors about alchemy, and has no other intentions." ”
Songmei sneered: "It's still this senior nephew who speaks politely...... Since you sincerely seek advice, the poor Dao will not hide it, yes, the poor Dao is not only good at the cultivation of talismans, but also the art of the Danding, there are countless Dan prescriptions in your hands, and there are also Dan prescriptions for refining the elixir, but they are never easy to show people! ”
Bragging and not making drafts, Yang Yun originally just opened a window to let Songmei breathe, but Songmei jumped out of the window directly, and couldn't pull it back if she wanted to.
