Sun Ce wanted to use it for Ji, but he couldn't raise Yu Ji like he raised Xu Yue. Yu Ji cultivates the path of birth, he needs to be quiet, if he stays in Pingyu, someone will disturb him every now and then, it will hinder his cultivation. Moreover, Yu Ji's cultivation method is also difficult to promote, it is not difficult to produce another Xu Yue, but it is difficult to produce another Yu Ji.

It's not that Yu Ji's method of practice is complicated—his method is actually very simple—but that it's difficult to stick to. Guidance, breathing, meditation, meditation, it is not difficult for a day or two, it can be persisted in a year or two, and it is like a day for decades, but few people can do it. It's the same as Jiujiao, it can be done theoretically, but there are only a handful of people who can actually do it.

Yu Ji himself said that he has seen countless immortal families, but there are only three or five people who really have Taoism, like him can be more than 100 years old and still deaf and bright, as light as a swallow, and is expected to reach the age of heaven, and he is the only one who has a glimpse of the door to become immortals.

Sun Ce suddenly remembered someone. "Have you ever seen Zhang Ling, the first generation of Heavenly Master Dao?"

"Yes. He is a little different from ordinary Taoist priests, he is influenced by Tianzhu Buddhism, he thinks about the main, he wants to comprehend Lao Tzu's five thousand words, and he doesn't pay much attention to spells. Later, he married a wife and had children, and went to Qingcheng Mountain to practice, but he never met again. Yu Ji remembered the old things and was a little emotional. His wife Yongshi has a very high level of understanding, but she is a strong person, and she is a faction, the yang is weak and the yin is strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to peep into the Taoist sect, and she will not be able to become a big tool. ”

Sun Ce burst out laughing. People don't make a big deal? Your peace is not a great thing. Don't look at Zhang Jiao making such a big move, you have lived a long time in the immortals, it is just a flash in the pan, Taoism is later the world of the Heavenly Master. However, Yu Ji has a point, the current Heavenly Master Dao is relatively pure, and the set that Zhang Lu engaged in in Hanzhong does not involve other spells except for burning talismans and chanting spells and engaging in some psychotherapy, which is a bit like fundamentalism, and Buddhism is also a bit similar. The later Heavenly Master Dao should have received the thoughts of the Taiping Dao, and so many tricks were derived.

"Mrs. Lu, are you familiar with it?"

"That little girl, I haven't seen her for more than 30 years, and the last time I saw her was when Zhang Heng got married......"

"Wait." Sun Ce suddenly felt that something was wrong. "Mrs. Lu got married more than 30 years ago? How old was she when she got married? ”

"Eighteen."

"And she's about fifty now?"

Yu Ji thought for a moment. "It should be. She is a disciple of the Yong family, and she is also a faction of Rongcheng, and she also cultivates the room, and has the art of stationing Rong. She gave birth to a child relatively late, and she only gave birth to a child nearly ten years after she got married, and her eldest son is named Zhang Lu, who should be no more than thirty years old now, and is likely to be in her early twenties. ”

"Is that Zhang Ling older, or are you older?"

Yu Ji glanced at Sun Ce and stroked his beard. "Of course I'm older. If Zhang Ling was still alive, he would be less than ninety years old by now. ”

Sun Ce scolded secretly. Sure enough, it's more important to live a long time. Taiping Dao died, making the Heavenly Master Dao orthodox. The Heavenly Master put gold on his face, saying that Zhang Daoling was born in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, died in the second half of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and lived to be more than 100 years old, but these words were said by the Heavenly Master himself, and the historical basis is only Zhang Lu's life time. Judging from Zhang Lu's age, Yu Ji's statement is closer to the truth.

"Okay, it's not early, don't talk much, so as not to affect your cultivation. You first live in Pingyu for a period of time, write down the Taiping Sutra, and then we will discuss how to arrange it. Sun Ce scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'm an ordinary man, and I really don't know how to arrange you, a living immortal, you give me some time to think about it." ”

Yu Ji said: "You don't have to arrange, I will live with Gonghe first, and it is convenient for each other." After writing the "Taiping Sutra", I want to go to Nanyang Materia Medica. Cultivating the Tao first, and the medical Tao is the closest, in recent years, the epidemic has continued, I heard that there are some Hu doctors in the Nanyang Materia Medica, I want to communicate with them, to see if I can find an effective way. ”

Sun Ce agreed. Health preservation and Chinese medicine are not separated, Chinese medicine originally focuses on curing diseases, and Yu Ji's massage and acupuncture are also real kung fu, which is related to his long-term cultivation and clear feeling of the qi and veins in the body. If we can cooperate with Zhang Zhongjing, we may be able to open up a new path for traditional Chinese medicine.

Seeing off Yu Ji and Xu Yue, Sun Ce and Guo Jia walked slowly along the corridor. After talking with Yu Ji, Sun Ce felt a lot of feelings, and he was still unsatisfied. Looking up at the bright moon that had reached the middle of the sky, and then looking at the bright moon in the water, Sun Ce had a dreamlike illusion.

"Fengxiao, what do you think of Yu Ji?"

Guo Jia shook the feather fan, tilted his head, and looked at Sun Ce. "The general wants to cultivate immortals?"

Sun Ce laughed. Although Yu Ji said that he had talent and confirmed the so-called Jin Shengyu Zhen, he still didn't believe in the theory of cultivating immortals. If he were to explain Jin Shengyuzhen, he would rather believe that dantian vocalizations and cranial cavity resonance. As far as he knows, the voices of many professional entertainers are very textured, which is the result of dantian vocalization and cranial cavity resonance.

He was interested in seeking the Tao in his body. It is not surprising that Yu Ji said that seeking the Tao in the body comes from Fuxi's close view of the body, which is a concept inherited from traditional Chinese medicine and the basic idea of Huang Laodao, but he thought of a question that was closely related to his ideals, that is, the famous Joseph Needham question, why did modern science not appear in China.

Later generations will trace the source of modern science back to ancient Greece, believing that the Chinese civilization did not give birth to modern science because the Chinese civilization did not have the rational philosophy of ancient Greece. In fact, there is a fundamental difference between the rational philosophy of the ancient Greeks and modern science: the ancient Greeks did not expect to change the objective world, they only knew the objective world. It is not so much that the ancient Greek philosophy of reason is close to modern science, but that it is closer to the unity of heaven and man in Chinese Taoism.

There was a philosopher in ancient Greece who famously said, "Man, know thyself." How similar is this sentence to the Taoist inner body seeking the Tao?

Sun Ce knew little about philosophy, but he felt that Yu Ji's ideas were similar to those of the ancient Greeks. If this is the case, then Yu Ji's arrival is good news, and may help him clarify some problems in his thinking and make some achievements. Yu Ji is a living immortal, whether it is an ordinary person or a clan, his influence is much stronger than him. Leaving him to preach would relieve him of the pressure to implement the New Deal.

"You don't want to?" Sun Ce asked Guo Jiadao: "You used to visit immortals, but now that the living immortals are in front of you, you are not interested?" ”

Guo Jia smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's so difficult to become an immortal, I don't expect it." He paused, and then said: "It takes a few decades of pure heart and few desires to become an immortal, so what's the point of becoming an immortal?" It's better to do it spontaneously, build a career, marry a few beautiful concubines, drink fine wine, enjoy the glory of the world, and if you have the opportunity, write another book, leave a little name, and have no regrets in this life. ”

Sun Ce couldn't help but laugh out loud. He patted Guo Jia on the shoulder, very emotional. The Han people are really more pragmatic, and the search for immortals is not for the sake of purifying the heart and having few desires, but for the sake of longevity and enjoyment. If you can't enjoy life, you don't want to live forever.

"As long as your Mrs. Zhong doesn't object, it's no problem to marry a few beautiful concubines. Wine is not good, at least not until the world is peaceful. ”

Guo Jia patted his chest. "General, I'm in good health now, it's okay to drink less."

"It's not good enough." Sun Ce smiled. "I'll talk about it when you can Jin Shengyuzhen."
