Chapter 31 Standing by the Mountain

On the lotus mountainside of Suwei, there was actually a Taoist temple a long time ago.

Along the path is a pavement made of stones, and from time to time you can hear the gentle and melodious mountain song coming from the depths of the clouds, and the gusts of mountain breeze are sweet and refreshing, which makes people feel particularly relaxed!

As we got closer, we saw a wall built on the undulating hills, crawling all over the hills, growing into the shape of teeth and claws in a disorderly manner, and the dead branches and stumps that had not been pruned for a long time were crooked.

At that time, the Taoist temple was made of local materials, and it was also made of stones, but it was tall and spacious, and when you looked up, the eaves were covered with weeds and trees, and the mountain wind blew it to the side.

However, Master Xuzi and Qiu Jing, who were standing on the bluestone slab in front of the house, smiled at each other and nodded to each other.

"Sir, there is nowhere to find ...... when you step on the iron sheet"

"It took a lot of effort from the boss!" Master Xuzi then laughed.

"In the past few years, it has not been easy for you to set foot in the famous mountains and rivers of the Central Plains!" Qiu Jing looked at it with concern, he had a lot of words to look at Mr. or stop talking.

"One day in the mountains, thousands of years in the world! It's a fairy-like day, but I have to hurry! ”

"Sir always has a heart to help the world......"

"No, God help me!" Master Xuzi wore a green shirt and robe, looking at this dilapidated Taoist temple, it was a rare good mood, smiled, and his eyes turned from the decayed courtyard to a wide field of vision.

"Qiu Jing, you better go back!" His expression changed from idle to serious.

"Sir, there are capable people in the court, and I am not a Dinghai God Needle. Capable and talented, what about the pillars of the country, a talent like you, sir......" Qiu Jing glanced at a trace of imperceptible arrogance on his forehead, but his words were flattering.

"The national community is not a child's play! Don't take it lightly! Xuzi raised his eyes, not angry and arrogant, "If you are an official in the court, you have to have the world in your heart, and don't care about personal gains and losses." ”

"What the gentleman taught!" Qiu Jinggong replied respectfully.

Qiu Jingman's words were all withdrawn, and his face was red, "I'll accompany Mr. for a while, and I'll do the cultivation of this Taoist temple, if I don't come, is it possible, Mr. will move the stones and sand by himself?" Jiao Long is an old playboy, people don't know where to go, even if you find him, can you still count on him? Qiu Jing quickly adjusted his mood and said pragmatically.

Qiu Jing is the kind of person who is vigorous and resolute, not only thick and fine, but also has a delicate heart, which can best understand the mind of the gentleman, and Xuzi is also very satisfied with him.

It took only half a year to renovate the Taoist temple and named it "Baiyun Temple".

"Baiyun Temple" is not big from the outside to the inside, but the inside is spacious and bright, the equipment and supplies used by Xuzi are all in place, neatly arranged, and almost no one can fully understand the ins and outs of the matter. This is exactly what the Void Son is asking for.

At the same time that Qiu Jing was methodically cultivating the Taoist Temple, the lights in the hall on the inner side of the Wei Emperor's Mansion were lit until late at night for a while.

"Was the elixir refined so quickly? Unlikely! How long has he been out of the barracks? Emperor Wei's henchman, Gao Yinggao, the old eunuch, walked around the room, his thick eyebrows locked, and his forehead was gloomy.

"The elixir of life! Is it done? Is this news confirmed? Gao Gonggong asked again and again, and seemed to be talking to himself.

"The news from Baiyun Temple has been refined!" A man in a black robe stood in the temple, his voice neither high nor low.

"Who can be sure? Who lives forever...... Many years ago, the eldest princess's family's hanging son Haoyang also said that the magic medicine, when he went to the Qi country, he also deceived the old Qi Emperor very lightly! Gao Gonggong asked with a smile. Life is rare for seventy years, and a hundred years old let me see and understand, no! ”

"This ......"

"In the blink of an eye, it's been a year or two since he left the barracks, right?" The man in black understood who he was referring to from beginning to end.

"Someone personally saw him stepping on the auspicious clouds, the lotus Buddha light on his head, thousands of flowers blooming, and thousands of birds singing in unison." The black-robed man added very seriously, as if he himself had been there.

"Did anyone really see it?" Gonggong Gao was suspicious, staring at the man in the black robe, his eyes were stunned.

"A bunch of people saw it! Not a rumor! "The eyes of the black-robed robe are shining!

"Father-in-law, did you say that he is about to become an immortal?"

"Become an immortal! Aren't those people just trying to become immortals? How is that possible? I just don't believe it! "When I was a child, I was afraid of ghosts, but then I figured it out. Guess how you figured it out? ”

"Father-in-law, if you are wise and foolish, how can the villain guess it?" The man in the black robe adored and complimented Gonggong Gao from beginning to end.

"I thought, if there are ghosts, there are many more ghosts than people, and there are layers of them everywhere throughout the ages, and I can catch dozens of them at will, am I afraid? Once you figure it out, you're not afraid! ”

"Hmm...... You're so right! The black-robed man smiled.

"It's the same with this elixir, it's all immortal, the ghosts are gone, they all become human, three layers inside and three layers outside, all layers are full of people, what to eat, what to wear, and not to mention the jealousy for the time being, the harem is even more lively, to hundreds of thousands or millions, it is not called a harem, it has to be called a women's country."

Gao Gonggong's eyes at this time swayed with a faint lewd light, although the eunuchs were not good at "that aspect", it could not suppress their imagination.

The black-robed man looked at Gonggong Gao and comprehended, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, how much thought is in it!

But he didn't want to comment on himself, and he was silent for a long time.

"I believe that he is the pride of the sky! I believe that he can work miracles! Did he change his name? Gao Gonggong's voice was still so sharp, the first two sentences were originally good, but the latter sentence suddenly changed his thinking, and he often spoke like this, the man in black and robe could neither say that he was not able to speak before or after, nor could he say that he was talking nonsense, in short, listen carefully, and there will be a conclusion in the end.

"He took the name of the Tao, called Xuzi, and the locals respected him for his magical workmanship, and gave him a ghostly name, calling him Ghost Xuzi!"

"I think he is: in the first half of his life, he is real (Zhong Shi) free and easy, and in the second half of his life, he is ethereal and boundless." A eunuch will reject the elixir of immortality no matter what. When it came to the elixir of life, Grandpa Gao felt hatred.

"Father-in-law, what you said is really reasonable! Real and free, ethereal. It is the living life of his past and present life. ”

"Those who say that he is a god and a ghost, they all call him a ghost, some people speculate that Wei Guo is only half in his heart, or empty, and he is vain! I don't think so! It's hard to say if there are other thoughts or thoughts. Gao Gonggong's expression was complex and changeable, and he used all contradictory sentences.

The man in the black robe didn't know what Gonggong Gao was thinking, and at this time, he also called him a ghost, so the man in the black robe added: "This name is very appropriate!" ”

"But he still has a position in the hearts of the emperor and the queen, he not only saved their lives, but also saved the lives of thousands of civilians, that plague almost killed most of the people of Wei, you and I are among them, we are all favored by him!" Gao Gonggong walked to the side of the man in black and patted him on the shoulder, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

But as soon as he thought of the elixir, the old eunuch was a little overwhelmed, his eyes flashed with a faint light, and he groaned for a while, as if he was talking to himself, "In this way, Emperor Wei may ......live forever."

The eunuch's mind is also like the emperor's turn a thousand times, which is incomprehensible!

Although Gao Ying quickly stopped, the man in the black robe still understood them very well, after all, a companion is like a tiger, this is the most sensitive word, and this Gao Gonggong is really bold!

"Then what do you mean......" The voice was so low that only the eunuch could hear it clearly.

"The medicine...... As long as it is made, it will be delivered as quickly as possible. "The same small sharp tax voice, the person in the black robe has long been accustomed to seeing the deceit between the emperor's relatives, dignitaries, and dignitaries. My heart was numb, I didn't care, and I answered the word "yes" and retreated.

Outside the hall was a cold wind, whirring across the palace walls.
