Gu Mengping looked at the frosty eyebrows and snow-haired, handsome and thin old man beside the waterfront, and admired it with admiration. After ten or so steps, he took a deep look and said respectfully: "Kid Gu Mengping, I have seen the immortal." ”

Then present the prayer stickers in your hands with both hands.

A small Taoist servant took the worship sticker with a whisk in his hand and transferred it to Zhang Xubai's hand.

Zhang Xubai didn't look at it in his hand, and greeted Xiao Wanyi first, and then smiled: "But come to ask for the elixir?" Seeking eternal life? ”

Gu Mengping said: "Liezi walks against the wind, like a fairy, but in the end he will die...... which means that there is no immortal life in this world, and there is no immortal, and there is no way to talk about the elixir.

It should be very rude to say these words to the Taoist priest, but I didn't expect Zhang Xubai to laugh instead. Zhang Xubai is a descendant of the Danding faction, and his branch mainly focuses on refining the inner Dan, advocating using his own essence and qi as medicine and refining with gods. As long as you are pure and cultivated, you will naturally be able to become immortals.

Those who are good at refining the inner Dan pay attention to fasting and praying, enriching the country and benefiting the people, and usually disdain those who refine the outer Dan. Because the history of all dynasties shows that those who refine foreign pills often use pills to bewitch the king, so that the country is in chaos and the people are in dire straits.

Hearing that Gu Mengping actually dared to say Liezi in front of him, Zhang Xu's white eyebrows trembled slightly, "Then in your opinion, who can be called an immortal?" ”

Gu Mengping thought for a while, and said loudly: "The kid thinks that everyone in the world can be immortals!" Liu Longzhou said, people are determined to win the sky, and half of the wall has no sun and moon for a long time. "Yi Zhou Shu Wen Biography" also said that soldiers are stronger than people, and people are stronger than heaven. As long as the heart is upright and those who are willing to accumulate yin gong can become immortals. ”

China is a polytheistic country, as long as this person has done a lifetime of good deeds, and the people within a radius of hundreds of miles are willing to worship him after his death, then he may be an immortal. As long as you want to be an immortal, do good deeds. Then after a long time, he will become a god.

What Gu Mengping said is actually what it means.

Zhang Xubai laughed, stepped forward and took Gu Mengping's hand, and walked through the small pavilion towards his residence.

Xiao Wanyi followed behind the two with a smile.

The courtyard where Zhang Xubai is located is very simple, and there are several tall locust trees in the courtyard, with tangled branches, and I don't know how many years it has been. In the middle are three upper rooms, and on both sides are the Dan room and the bedroom.

There is only one small servant waiting in the courtyard, and another small servant in the stove room is boiling water and making tea.

Zhang Xubai took Gu Mengping's hand and sat down in the study, without waiting for the little maid to serve tea, nor did he greet Xiao Wanyi, the old man began to debate with each other. In fact, Gu Mengping really didn't know much about Taoist classics, and the only thing he knew was Zhuangzi's "Getaway", which he also memorized when he was bored in his previous life. Can live with the old monk in Fenglin Temple for eleven years, all kinds of classics of the old monk have been involved, the old monk has a wide range of knowledge, throughout the scriptures. In addition, it is a descendant of Yingzhen, and he knows a lot about Taoist principles and allusions.

Gu Mengping has a good memory, and with the knowledge that the old monk said and Zhang Xubai debated, he was quite able to scratch his itch.

The more Zhang Xubai talked with him, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the more happy he became.

Before I knew it, the sun was setting, and a small servant came to light an oil lamp.

Gu Mengping left his seat and was shocked, and arched his hand: "Don't blame the kid for being rude, it's really getting late, and the kid has to rush back to Suiping." ”

Zhang Xubai was reluctant to let him go, and dissuaded: "Suiping and Xinghe Town are very close, it is better to rest here for the night, and return to Suiping early tomorrow morning." Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Gu Mengping was seeking medical treatment for his elders, and hurriedly added: "Lao Dao will return to Suiping with you early tomorrow morning." ”

Xiao Wanyi opened a pair of wonderful eyes and looked at Zhang Xubai in a daze. Zhang Daochang has a perverse and strange personality, no matter who comes to seek medical advice, if he doesn't follow his temper, he has to humiliate others a few words, even if he is not ashamed, he will never give people a good look. And he has a mouth, invincible in debate, when he was in Beijing, he once flushed a Beijing official's face, and the Beijing official finally left Beijing with hatred.

But how could he be so enthusiastic about Gu Mengping?

Xiao Wanyi was very puzzled! Is it because of Gu Mengping's policy that 'the people are rich in the bottom'? But the two of them didn't talk about that article from beginning to end! The two of them were talking about immortality, pills, and Taoism and nature.

Although Xiao Wanyi is better than ordinary women in terms of knowledge, she still didn't understand what the two were talking about.

Although Gu Mengping wanted to stay here and talk to Zhang Xubai at night, he still refused after thinking about it, "Grandmother and Master just came back from Fucheng yesterday, and the kid is really not at ease. If the kid doesn't go back, I'm afraid that the elders will rely on Lu and look forward. ”

Zhang Xubai sighed and ordered the little Taoist servant to send Gu Mengping back.

Gu Mengping rushed from Suiping to Hexing Town in the morning, not only did he not eat lunch but also forgot to eat, seeing that his steps were a little vain when he stood up, Xiao Wanyi hurriedly instructed the maid behind him to go to the kitchen to find some food.

Seeing Gu Mengping thanking her, Xiao Wanyi smiled and avoided behind the curtain.

Yu Sihe also didn't eat, but fortunately he was in good shape, and there was no problem if he didn't eat for a day. took out the food prepared by Xiao Wanyi, and the two of them ate it separately, and Yu Sihe set up the carriage and rushed to Suiping.

After walking a few miles outside the town, the sky was already getting dark, and a bend of Emei Moon peeked out of the clouds, making the road under the wheels even more obscure.

Just when Yu Sihe regretted that he hadn't prepared the lantern, three fast horses chased after him from behind the carriage.

Hearing someone call his name, Gu Mengping lifted the curtain of the car.

A healthy servant raised the lantern in his hand, "Dare to ask if the Gu family's official is in the car?" My girl ordered me to bring a lantern. The girl said that it was dark and the road was slippery, and the night was not peaceful. If the petty officials don't dislike it, the villain is willing to send the petty officials all the way back to Suiping. As he spoke, he pinned the lantern to the top of the chariot, and the light of the lantern poured down, and when he sat in the carriage, he saw a large circle on the ground.

The lantern is very exquisitely styled, covered with glass on the outside, dotted with hydrangeas on all sides, and lit with a small wax inside, which is light and bright, just suitable for stormy nights.

"Thank you Miss Xiao for your concern, this lantern is too precious." Gu Mengping was about to jump out of the carriage, but was stopped by the servant.

"Our girl said that petty officials are delicate and expensive, so there is no need to observe some vulgar etiquette too much. It's getting dark, and it's important for the petty officials to hurry! When the servant had said this, he reined in his horse and stood silently behind the carriage.

Having said that, Gu Mengping still stood on the carriage and bowed in the direction of the Lin Mansion.

Then he ordered Yu Sihe to catch the car.

Seeing that the carriage was moving, the three servants slowly shook the reins and followed the carriage in unison.

After walking for about an hour, Suiping County appeared in front of the swarthy front.

The four doors were closed, and the birds were silent.

Gu Mengping was stunned......

He had never gone out at night, forgetting that the gate was to be closed at night.

Could it be that he was going to turn around and go back to Hexing Town?

Just when he hesitated, the three healthy servants behind him stepped forward and knocked on the door, "We are the servants of the Lin Mansion in Hexing Town, and today we escorted the small officials of the Gu family in Liangbang Lane into the city, with the seal of the Lin Mansion in hand, and I also looked at the brothers on the top of the building to put a hanging basket down to see the seal letter." ”

As soon as he heard that it was someone from the Lin Mansion, the gatekeepers on the city tower hurriedly put down the hanging basket.

After a cup of tea, the city gate slowly opened a small crack.

The three servants said goodbye to Gu Mengping: "The villain was ordered to escort the small officials of the Gu family into the city, and now they have been delivered, and the villains are going back to return to their lives." ”

Gu Mengping was a little uneasy, and hurriedly bowed down to thank him.

The three servants were not polite, and immediately returned the salute and ran the way they came.

When I entered the city, I saw the two brothers waiting in the city gate, and they were very happy to see Gu Mengping come back.

Back in Liangbang Lane, the old monk and Lao An didn't fall asleep, waiting for Gu Mengping in their respective rooms. When the person came back, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and each said a few words to Gu Mengping and ordered him to go to sleep quickly.

In the east wing, Gongsun Yuan was also waiting for him. Seeing Gu Mengping walking into the house with a glass hydrangea lamp, the words that Gongsun Yuan was about to say were choked back into his stomach.

Why did Gu Mengping bring this lamp back?

This was given to Xiao Jinxuan by his father back then......

PS: I'm in a bad mood today, I looked at it online, and I still haven't recommended it. Continue streaking next week! This book has been written for 180,000 words so far, and it has never been recommended except for a garbage push.

A little discouraged! Could it be that it won't even be on the shelves in the future?

What does it mean to write a book at the beginning if it doesn't make it to the shelves? It means that there is no income.

But I'm in dire need of money right now......

I asked myself today for an afternoon, do you want to persevere?

Sometimes I blame myself, I don't have any ability!

The old man of our family is a returned Taiwanese overseas Chinese, and after returning to China in the 80s, he has been very concerned about the education of his hometown. Not only donated money to build a middle school, but also paved the way for the construction of bridges in his hometown, and later established a foundation to help poor students in his hometown who could not afford to go to school......

In the past 20 years, a total of more than 10 million yuan has been spent!

But good people are rarely rewarded! When the old lady died in August, none of the students who had donated to the old lady came to visit the old lady, let alone bow to the old lady! At the beginning of this year, the old man took out all the money in his family and donated to a group of students who could not afford to go to college......

The irony is that my nephew can't afford to go to college now because of the money!

Scolding the old man? The old man, who is in his nineties, is so happy that he doesn't dare to make him unhappy at all.

I was still scolding two days ago, donating money and donating money, I know that let's donate money, and now our children can't afford to go to school, who cares about us? When the money runs out, who cares who you are?
