Chapter 247: Offerings
With the method provided by Han Rui, the wine is naturally extremely mellow, and it smells fragrant, but when it is drunk in the mouth, it is really like a fire, Qingyun is defenseless, swallows it in one gulp, his throat is on fire, and he almost doesn't cough and choke, and it only eases up after half a sound, and a warm feeling spreads all over his body, and he exhales lightly, and can't help but praise: "It's really a rare good wine, but I don't know what the name is?" ”
It is estimated that he also wants to buy a few jars to treasure them, anyway, he is a Taoist priest who is not taboo in wine and meat, Han Rui will not feel strange, but he forgot to inquire about the name of this wine, and said casually: "Like water and fire, it should be called a roast bar." ”
"Makes sense." Qingyun agreed, slightly staggering, with an endless aftertaste, his eyes seemed to have a little expectation, under Han Rui's signal, the servant next to him hurriedly picked up the wine jug and poured him a full cup, and the banquet was harmonious.
However, this kind of small banquet is similar to pouring tea for guests, not for eating and drinking, just for chatting and cheering, after a while, everyone put down the cups, talking and laughing, naturally, the most talked about must be the immortal method that Qingyun Taoist just demonstrated, if it is not a little self-conscious, I am afraid that everyone will strongly ask Qingyun to demonstrate again.
In the compliment of everyone, Qingyun showed modesty and abnormality, and repeatedly showed that this is just a small means, if it is compared with the Dao of Xiuzhen, it is not worth mentioning at all, and warns everyone not to put the cart before the horse, only to pursue the tricks of the end of the technique, but neglect the heart of cultivation, one by one, very skillful, obviously often flickering like this.
In fact, if Qingyun was in front of some ignorant and backward people, demonstrating the means just now, those people would definitely immediately pounce up, kneel and hug their thick legs, shouting immortal masters, Qingyun has more groups of devout disciples, but everyone present, not to mention those servants, Qian Xu and Han Hui traveled from south to north, well-informed, strong-willed, and small means, for them, it is just two points to look at, whether they believe it in their hearts, it is difficult to say.
Zheng Naoyuo, although he believes in Taoism, but he was born in a wealthy family, and he has never seen any "immortal magic", so his reaction is naturally very indifferent, and he exclaimed a few words of praise, which is already very face-saving, as for Han Rui, he can see through the trick at a glance, it is too pediatric, and there is no trace of technical content...... Wait, the technical content, it seems a little, if ...... Just when Han Rui was thinking about it, Qingyun continued to brag...... Well, it should be to promote the immortal way, after all, it is one of the high-level of the Laojun Palace, naturally there are a few brushes, well-read and strong, talking about the scriptures and the Tao, talking endlessly, the head is the Tao, but the most proud is the alchemy technique, which is repeatedly mentioned, as if it is hinting at something.
As a Taoist priest with pursuit, Qingyun naturally also has the dream of becoming an immortal and ascending, Ping said that the most admired is the alchemist Ge Xuan Ge Hong and the ancestors and grandsons of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, for the Taiqing Dan Sutra, Jiuding Dan Sutra, Jin Liquid Dan Sutra, Baopuzi and other secret scriptures, they have been read very well, but unfortunately due to the constraints of conditions, they have to make a small fuss and refine a few furnaces of pills.
Qingyun also has his own difficulties, the pill is not so easy to refine, especially after taking the elixir of immortality, there are too many precious things needed, although the incense of the Laojun Palace is prosperous, but the cost is also large, and there is no surplus money to provide Qingyun Taoist alchemy, which makes him very disappointed.
Therefore, Qingyun had to come up with other ideas, the most convenient and fast, and the most common way, naturally let the powerful worship, but in this year, the Taoist priest is not easy to mix, it is definitely not hypocritical, you don't see that since Li Tang Tianzi respected Taoism as the state religion, all over the country, how many Taoist immortals have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they have come out, although Qingyun feels that his ability is not bad, but the opportunity is a little worse, and his reputation is naturally not as loud as others.
Chang'an Yanjing, all walks of life masters gathered, it can be said that there are many talents, real people like clouds, this one has the name of a mage, and that one has been certified by the imperial court, whether it is alchemy, demon hunting, exorcism, feng shui, hexagrams, or even marriage and seeking children, all kinds of specialties, everything, the fierce competition is not something that outsiders can imagine.
Anyway, Qingyun has also visited several powerful people, vaguely revealing the meaning of this aspect, but the response is not very enthusiastic, and it can even be called a snub, after all, there are too many masters, and they must choose the most famous, Laojun Hall is indeed an immortal Taoist temple, but Qingyun Taoist is not necessarily a master.
With this kind of concern, Qingyun is destined to return disappointed, just now he was returning from the capital wall, he was in a low mood, he met Han Rui on the way, a few glasses of soju in his stomach, his mind suddenly became active, the big powerful refused to worship themselves, but the small powerful should be easier to fool, it is with such an idea, so there is what he did just now.
Then again, as Li Chunfeng's senior brother, Qingyun Taoist priest is definitely not an ordinary god stick, under normal circumstances, he naturally disdains to pretend to be a god and a ghost, otherwise he can make friends with the powerful people in the court through Li Chunfeng's relationship, I believe that for the sake of Li Chunfeng's face, there must be someone willing to contribute to the worship, but he has arrogance in his heart, and he is unwilling to use the power of others, and feels that he can refine the elixir with his own ability, so he can show sincerity.
As for fooling Han Rui, he was also forced to do so, after the success of the elixir, he would share a few more grains, Qingyun was thinking, and his guilt was a little less, and then he lifted his spirits, and his mouth was like a river, and he hyped up the magic of the elixir, and everyone listened to it with relish, but Han Rui frowned quietly, what is the elixir, others don't know, how can he not know that this kind of thing that harms people is not shallow, it is simply a slow surname poison, killing people invisibly.
If it is physiognomy feng shui divination and the like, just ask for peace of mind, it doesn't hurt to listen to it, but the pill is not contaminated at all, he has an opinion in his heart, and he found a gap, Han Rui smiled and said: "The surname of the soju is Lie, full of stamina, do you feel drunk, you have prepared a quiet and elegant guest room, please go and take a rest for a while, and the boy will ask you for some things later." ”
Why did this sentence suddenly pop up, Qingyun Daoist was stunned, glanced at Han Rui, and suddenly realized, smiled and left, his chubby figure was as light as the wind, and his mood was very comfortable.
Before Qingyun left, the hall was quiet, and after a while, Zheng Naoyue said softly: "Husband, do you want to worship Qingyun Dao Master to refine the elixir?" ”
"Twenty-one Lang, listen to my uncle, the elixir is difficult to refine, even if it is bankrupt, I am afraid it will not succeed." Qian Xu hurriedly dissuaded, Han Hui echoed beside him, the two understood the hardships of life, they were not like powerful people who had no worries about food and clothing, fame and fortune in their hands, but they were not satisfied, and turned to pursue the ethereal road of eternal life.
"What the two uncles said is true." Zheng Naoyue said, and actually agreed, if Qingyun Taoist saw it, he would definitely burst into tears.
"Nao Yue, aren't you the most believer in the Immortal Dao, why are you against it?" Han Rui was surprised, very curious.
Zheng Naoyue smiled softly and said seriously: "As long as you are pious to the Tao, your thoughts are accessible, and your merits are complete, you can naturally achieve immortality, why do you need to practice with the help of external objects, although Qingyun Dao Chang is a master, it is a pity that he has gone astray." ”
Haha, it turns out that the daughter-in-law is from the inner family, Han Rui was relieved in his heart, and chuckled: "The pill is poisonous, if you eat too much, you will be disabled at the least, and your life will be difficult to protect at worst, I don't dare to try." ”
Thinking that Han Rui was joking, everyone laughed lightly, but also warned him not to talk nonsense outside, lest those alchemy Taoist priests hear it, dislike it in their hearts, and make trouble for no reason.
Han Rui's expression was serious, and he said softly: "Gold, silver, copper, iron, pearl and jade, stone sand, sulfur mercury, rosin beeswax, ......, except for a few, which of the others is not a huge poison, mixed and refined, even if it neutralizes the violent poison, but there are still residues, and they accumulate a lot, and they will inevitably be crippled or killed." ”
"Lang Jun, it's not that serious." Han Hui hesitated.
"Find a chance, and I'll prove it to you." Han Rui said, stood up, and walked out of the hall, there was no choice but to find a few mice to abuse.
"Husband, where are you going?" Zheng Naoyo asked.
Han Rui turned his head and smiled, and responded, "Chat with Qingyun Dao Chief, and ask him about something by the way." ”
At this time, in the guest room, Daoist Qingyun was a little excited, but more happy and longing, but when he heard the movement outside the door, he immediately restrained his emotions and recovered his indifferent demeanor.
"Daoist Qingyun, have you fallen asleep?" Han Rui knocked on the door and asked.
"For those who are monks, they can meditate and recuperate, so why sleep peacefully." After waiting deliberately for a while, Qingyun replied angrily, got up and opened the door, and asked knowingly, "Master Han, why did you come to visit?" ”
Qingyun was in a hurry, otherwise he should invite Han Rui in, pull around, don't get to the point for a long time, and let Han Rui take the initiative to speak, this is the smartest way.
Regarding Qingyun's psychology, Han Rui could also guess a few points, did not speak, walked straight into the guest room and turned around, and said with a smile: "The humble house is simple, and the greetings are not good, please forgive me." ”
In the end, he is a person who is dozens of years old, Qingyun reacted, and secretly complained about how he couldn't hold his breath like this, he was not even as good as a teenager, and he really lived more and more.
Quietly contemplating, Qingyun said with a smile: "Cultivators, it is a common thing to eat and stay in the dew, compared to the Danfang Quiet Room, it is already a luxury to enjoy here, but it is quite unaccustomed. ”
Han Rui had been to Qingyun Daoist's room, except for the Dan furnace and Tuanpu were more exquisite, the others were really simple, naturally he would not suspect him of lying, now that he thinks about it, this Taoist priest also has his own persistence, not useless, a few polite words, and found that Qingyun is really three sentences inseparable from alchemy, Han Rui smiled helplessly: "Daoist, is the pill really so magical?" ”
"That's nature."
Finally asked about this, Daoist Qingyun was in good spirits and said excitedly: "Legend has it that Danshi Ge Xuan is ......"
"As the Taoist said, it's just a legend." Han Rui opened his mouth and interrupted: "What happened hundreds of years ago is nothing more than word of mouth, how can it be convincing. ”
Qingyun was slightly stunned, and immediately defended: "What is recorded in the book, how can there be a fake ......"
Han Rui shook his head and said: "Fake books and fakes, is it still less, I only believe what I have seen with my own eyes, let's take the Dao Chief as an example, I should have taken a lot of pills over the years." ”
