There is a kind of person who is born to be jealous, because God has given him too many gifts.

Xuanyunzi is such a woman.

"The junior sister of the poor road should have come back from collecting medicine, three immortal friends, please allow the poor dao to introduce it on your behalf." Sima Chengzhen said goodbye, and invited Xue Shao and the other three to go outdoors.

Xue Shao knew that day when he saw Xuanyunzi for the first time in Zhongnan Yunhai, he suddenly thought that he had really arrived in the fairyland, and met the mortal fairy flying in the Heavenly Court. Today, I saw again that there was no thick fog on this hill, but Xuanyunzi, who was dressed in white and had no powder, was still like a fairy.

Guo Yuanzhen didn't care at first, but when he saw Xuan Yunzi, his expression froze on the spot, and he wiped his eyes regardless of his image, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Could it be that I am waiting for today, and I have really arrived in the fairy world?" ”

Xue Chuyu took a deep breath, his face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly turned his head and didn't dare to look directly at Xuan Yunzi. Probably because the young man rarely came into contact with women in the army, and he never became a prostitute and has not yet married, this invincible battlefield tiger general will become red-faced and cramped and uneasy whenever he faces beautiful women. For this reason, Xue Chuyu was laughed at by the people of the Three Knife Brigade.

"Xue Gongzi?" Xuan Yunzi saw Xue Shao, Qiao Qian walked forward with a smile, brushed the dust and bowed slightly, "Fortunately." ”

As soon as the south met and the state met again, Xue Shao almost forgot about Xuan Yunzi. Seeing him again today, he was a little surprised in his heart, but Xuan Yunzi was indifferent and didn't feel half a sense of surprise. Xue Shao couldn't help but wonder, the mood and temperament of cultivators are really different from ordinary people, Xuan Yunzi always gives me a kind of calm and calm that is not shocked by the humiliation and the sky is falling fearlessly.

"Lucky to meet the fairy girl." Xue Shao returned the salute.

Guo Yuanzhen was surprised, "You two have known each other before?" ”

"You're so forgetful." Xue Shao said, "Didn't Mr. Sima also say that he had seen me in the Xuanguan of Zhongnan Mountain?" ”

Guo Yuanzhen patted his brain, "I remembered, it turns out that this fairy girl in front of me is the famous Xuanyun Viewer?" - Disrespectful, disrespectful! ”

"General Guo is too polite, poor and polite." Xuan Yunzi returned the salute and smiled slightly, Guo Yuanzhen's face suddenly twitched twice, and he lost the master demeanor of the wandering flowers in the past.

Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh, speaking of Guo Yuanzhen, he is also a person who has seen the world. But in the face of Xuan Yunzi, I really can't blame him for acting like a "junior brother".

Xuanyunzi lives in seclusion on the misty Zhongnan Mountain in the sea of clouds, and rarely receives foreign guests. But her fame spread as early as Chang'an. The princes and nobles of the Tang Dynasty, who advocate Taoism, all want to see this legendary woman with profound Taoism and a fairy spirit.

Li Xian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, once went to Zhongnan three times in person, just to ask to see Xuanyunzi. At that time, it happened that the second sage was choosing the crown princess for the crown prince Li Xian, and it is said that Li Xian himself intended to make this Xuanyunzi a concubine, and the second sage and others naturally would not allow the prince of the Tang Dynasty to marry a Taoist aunt as a concubine, so the matter was stopped. But Xuan Yunzi himself rejected Li Xian three times and did not see him, so that Li Xian returned three times in a row without the slightest temper. Since then, the mysterious and immortal Xuanyunzi has become famous in the capital, and the princesses and nobles of the capital have not even been qualified to look at them.

Between the markets of Chang'an, there seems to be a saying - "Taiping Xuanyun, the female crown of the world." ”

What does that mean?

Taiping used to be the name of the Taoist temple where Princess Taiping pretended to become a monk, and Xuanyunzi was the master of Xuanyunguan. Comparing the Taiping View with the Xuanyun View, the implication is that there is no female crown in the world except for the two of them, and the beauty of these two women "crowning the world".

Princess Taiping, the only pearl of the two saints, the most noble and illustrious princess of the Tang Empire. Xuan Yunzi is a monk who can be compared to her, which is extraordinary!

"It seems that there is no need for a recommendation from the poor road." Sima Chengzhen smiled slightly and said, "Senior sister, you came back just in time." Brother tea art is far inferior to you, why don't you invite you to serve a pot of tea to the three fairy friends? ”

"Senior brother has an order, and the little sister naturally obeys." Xuan Yunzi glanced at Xue Shao with his eyes and smiled slightly, "The three of you sit down for a while, and you can come when you go to the poor road." ”

"Okay."

As soon as Xuan Yunzi turned around and left, Xue Shao clearly heard Guo Yuanzhen and Xue Chuyu beside him exhale at the same time.

Xue Shao glanced back at the two of them, smiled and shook his head.

Guo Yuanzhen and Xue Chuyu felt very faceless, and their faces were a little red.

The four men returned to Sima Chengzhen's room and sat down, Guo Yuanzhen provoked the topic and asked Sima Chengzhen to give a lecture to the three of them, "Let me and other mortals also get some immortal energy."

Sima Chengzhen was not hypocritical, so he talked eloquently, "The way of cultivating immortals is actually not complicated, it is nothing more than that I naturally cultivate my hypocrisy." The poor road is shallow, and the way of cultivating the immortals is carried out by the method of retreating from the five graduals, and those who have the five laws are fasting, resting, thinking, sitting and forgetting and understanding. In a word, it is to achieve the three precepts of simplicity, desirelessness, and meditation. ”

Guo Yuanzhen blinked, as if he had a little mischievous heart, and deliberately asked: "Immortal Chief, Guo asked a question that shouldn't be asked-with a beautiful woman like Xuan Yunzi by his side, can you really be pure and indifferent?" ”

Xue Shao immediately laughed, this stupid bird, it's really a pot that can't be opened.

Sima Chengzhen smiled indifferently and said, "Actually, General Guo's question is not strange. There is no one in the world who can face my junior sister calmly, and do not move his heart and form. But the poor road was done by luck. ”

Sima Chengzhen said it calmly, but Xue Shao and the other three people present believed it. In his words, there seems to be a magic that makes people unable to question and refute, and people's trust in him rises invisibly.

Xue Shao thought to himself, the rumors may be true, Sima Chengzhen is indeed a monk who is devoted to cultivation and has no desires. Otherwise, with his background, appearance and temperament, beautiful women's money, including official fame and fortune, can be at his fingertips. But he has always traveled the world in plain clothes, and wealth and fame are indeed floating clouds for him.

Xue Shao thought to himself that he was a layman, and he liked all the wine and wealth, so he would never be able to reach the ideological realm of Sima Chengzhen. Now he probably understands why those princes and nobles have such a high regard for cultivators like Sima Chengzhen and Xuan Yunzi - because they are far inferior.

After a short time, Xuanyunzi came, bringing a simple tea set made of mud tiles, bamboo and wood, and a few fresh bamboo shoot tea leaves.

Although Xuan Yunzi's expression seemed to be free and natural, the air in the room still instantly became a little "nervous". Xue Shao looked at Guo Yuanzhen and Xue Chuyu, these two brave brothers who accompanied him and dared to kill thousands of troops, facing Xuan Yunzi, who was close at hand, was as cramped and uneasy as a little boy who had never been in love for the first time, Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

The tea drinking habits of the Chinese probably began with the Tang Dynasty. Xue Shao once saw Yu Hongye boiling tea, which was called a skillful and elegant. Xuanyunzi boiling tea is another landscape, her expression is very focused, even a very fine piece of tea foam has been meticulously cleaned up by her, not to mention half a drop of water spilled out, not even the dust in the stove has not splashed.

Watching her make tea, it seems that everything in heaven and earth is between her plain hands, turning her hands into clouds and covering her hands for rain, and everything is under control calmly.

Xue Shao suddenly had an illusion in his heart, maybe Xuan Yunzi shouldn't be a cultivator. If she is given three feet of space in the political arena, she will definitely be able to do an earth-shattering career like Wu Zetian.

"Three fairy friends, please use tea."

After boiling the tea, Xuanyunzi served them one by one. The small red clay teacup contained half a cup of fragrant and rich tea, and Xue Shao couldn't help but be a little surprised: Xuanyunzi's tea-drinking style was different from the tea-drinking style of ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty. Not only did she add any spoiled condiments and salt, but the tea she brewed tasted like oolong tea!

Later generations drank oolong tea, which is commonplace. But in the Tang Dynasty, Xuanyunzi's tea art is already a pioneering feat that transcends the times!

Guo Yuanzhen and Xue Chuyu drank it, and they were really surprised.

After Xue Shaopin, he just smiled and said nothing.

"Xue Gongzi thinks, how about this tea?" Xuan Yunzi seemed to have been observing Xue Shao's reaction, so he asked.

"Okay." Xue Shao only said one word.

Xuan Yunzi and Sima Chengzhen laughed at the same time.

"Two Immortal Elders, why are you laughing?" Xue Shao asked.

"Poor Dao laughed because Xue Gongzi's one-word comment was just right." Sima Chengzhen smiled and said, "We are waiting for the Tao to cultivate and advocate the word 'Jane'. If you praise this tea at length, you will lose the meaning. ”

Guo Yuanzhen subconsciously touched his chin, fortunately Lao Tzu didn't open his mouth just now, otherwise they would look down on them if they couldn't shoot it.

Xuan Yunzi also smiled slightly, and said: "Poor Dao has said it a long time ago, Xue Gongzi Dao's heart is natural. ”

"Oh?" Xue Shao smiled, "I've always felt that I'm a complete layman, how can I be considered a Dao Heart Heaven?" ”

"The word is in the heart, not in the way. The Tao is in its soul, not in its body. Xuan Yunzi said, "Xue Gongzi has never realized that he is a Dao heart now, because you are involved in all kinds of troubles, and you have no choice but to respond." After going through all things over time, maybe Xue Gongzi will think that you are a Dao heart. ”

"Perhaps!" Xue Shao smiled indifferently, "When one day I want to retire from the political arena, I will think of Xuanyun Immortal Gu's good commandment." ”

Sima Chengzhen continued: "In fact, the Tao is not just a passive retreat, but a great deal of inaction on the surface. The emperor's several generations of heavenly sons worshipped the Tao, but it did not prevent them from benefiting the people and expanding their territory. ”

Xue Shao smiled, "To be honest, I don't know much about these. Therefore, taught. ”

As soon as Sima Chengzhen and Xuan Yunzi heard this, Xue Shao didn't seem to have much interest in "discussing the Tao", so he didn't talk about it further, changed the topic, and drank tea and talked about tea.

Guo Yuanzhen and Xue Chuyu felt a little strange, it was rare for these two people, a master of the world and a fairy of the Alluring City, to take the initiative to talk to Xue Gongzi together, why did he refuse to be thousands of miles away?

Xuan Yunzi's eyes stayed on Xue Shao's face no less than three times, and each time he only saw him with a look of indifference without moving. She couldn't help but smile in her heart, shook her head gently, and thought in her heart, Xue Gongzi, you are quite wary of me......
