Chapter 435: Like-minded people don't have the same mind
Zhou Qi was not far behind, "Uncle, I respect the old man with a glass of wine." ”
Xuanyuan Ji held a wine gourd and drank. Zhou Qi was afraid that he would be old and not strong enough to drink, so he didn't let him send the wine gourd to his mouth.
"Uncle, drink slowly. This wine is strong, I'm afraid you can't bear it when you're old. ”
He was worried that Xuanyuan Ji had drunk too much and would not be able to teach the tune. The boat drifts with the waves. "Brother, come over and eat together. We want to admire the moon on the river, and we won't be able to get off the boat for a while. ”
The boatman was very talkative, "Brother, let me tell you, I have seen immortals on the river. He said mysteriously.
Waiting for a few people to ask curiously, Liu Ye: "Uncle, what do the gods look like?" ”
Boatman: "Once. I took a guest across the river, who was a majestic man, dressed in a robe with wide sleeves, and looked like a fairy, riding a donkey. He claimed to be a Xuanyuan Immortal. I didn't even charge for crossing the river. Being able to meet the gods is a good fate. ”
The boatman's eyes were still yearning, looking into the void in the distance. Xuanyuan Ji secretly said, someone is deceiving under my banner. Ruined my reputation.
Liu Ye looked at his ancestor with a tangled face, he smiled secretly in his heart, the world doesn't know the true face of Xuanyuan Ji, so there are liars who swagger and deceive under the banner of Xuanyuan Immortals.
This old man is also real, can the real gods reduce the cost of boats crossing the river? "Uncle, you are fooled, the gods will not take advantage of mortals, because they can turn stones into gold."
The old man replied dissatisfiedly: "Young man, you don't know what good karma is? It's him who wants to give money, it's me who doesn't take money. These are two different things, I know that immortals are not bad for money, and I can't do errands in front of immortals. ”
After the boatman finished speaking, he pondered for a moment, "However, there is one thing that is very strange, just in Runzhou City, there are several versions of Xuanyuan Ji, and many people say that they have seen Xuanyuan Ji. But each statement is different. The version I came across was admitted by the deity himself. And that Taoist chief also looks like a fairy. ”
In the end, the old man affirmed that he had a good fate, and what he met was a real immortal, and what others encountered may be a fake immortal that someone pretended to be.
The boatman's eyes were fixed on Xuanyuan Ji, looking left and right, looking up and down, and Zhou Qi felt inexplicable.
"Does my uncle know my uncle?" Zhou Qi asked him.
Boatman: "Brother, if you want to say that you are Xuanyuan Ji, some people believe it." You see, your eyes are shining, and you have a gourd, and you have a donkey. These features are standard in the Xuanyuan set. Aren't you also Xuanyuan Ji? ”
Xuanyuan Ji: "Could it be that I said that I am Xuanyuan Ji, and you don't charge Jiang fees?" ”
Xuanyuan Ji teased him. The boatman rolled up his sleeves and said, "If you dare to admit it, I will dare to waive the fare." What's the matter, are you Xuanyuan Ji? ”
The old man replied heroically. Xuanyuan Ji shook his head, "I don't dare, I'm afraid that if I admit it, someone will send me to the official mansion." Treat me for a crime of abduction. ”
Zhou Qi was on the side, "What if I say that the old man and Xuanyuan Ji are the same person?" ”
"If the official says yes, it should be regarded as yes." Xuanyuan Ji raised his head and drank heavily.
Zhou Qi intuitively felt that the old man was not a mortal, what do you think, an old man dressed in coarse linen clothes, and a jade gourd on his body is a valuable treasure, not a treasure that money can buy.
The whole is carved from a piece of rough stone, and the jadeite brilliance flows, and it is produced in Kunlun jade, the top of Kunlun. There is also a peerless famous piano, which can restore the complete composition of "Guangling San" only according to the incomplete score.
I think that Ji Kang was recognized as a talented man in the Wei and Jin dynasties. The old man's talent is not lost to Ji Kang. There is a casual nature of Taoism and inaction. Taoism, Taoism.
Zhou Qi: "Uncle, speaking of Xuanyuan Immortals, I have something to ask Uncle." ”
Xuanyuan Jile said: "Let's talk about it." ”
Zhou Qi: "Uncle, you are Xuanyuan Ji, what do you think of Zhao Guizhen, Deng Yuanqi and others?" ”
Xuanyuan Ji: "Although they are both people in the Tao, they are not the same as each other. How to look at the two, some people tend to fame and fortune, like moths to a fire. ”
In his words, Xuanyuan Ji at least admitted that he was a Taoist. Zhou Qi asked again: "Uncle, do you believe that the elixir of immortality really exists in the world?" ”
Xuanyuan Ji asked rhetorically: "Do you believe it?" ”
Zhou Qi: "I'm not a Taoist, I don't know. ”
Xuanyuan Ji: "Taoism is the pursuit of eternal bliss, and the Taoist immortals of the past dynasties have also taken the cultivation of the elixir of immortality as their own responsibility. But as far as I know, the Taoist immortals of the past generations are now enshrined in temples and receive incense from the world. ”
Zhou Qi laughed, and the old man said: "Brother, accepting the incense of the world is the proof of becoming an immortal." Therefore, I believe that somewhere in the world, in an unknown place, there must be a certain master hidden in the unknown place, and there is an immortal immortal art. For example, Xuanyuan Collection. ”
The old man blindly worshipped Xuanyuan Ji and mythologized him. Xuanyuan Ji himself looked at him and laughed. "Xuanyuan gathers the gods and spirits, and he will definitely be very happy." The deity said.
With the old man by his side, there are some things that Zhou Qi can't say directly, so he asked euphemistically: "If a person is obsessed with alchemy and immortality, how can he get lost?" ”
Xuanyuan Ji: "This is a bit difficult, because he is too obsessed with immortality, and you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep." You will never be able to persuade a person who is desperate for immortality. ”
Zhao Guizhen and Deng Yuanqi are people in Taoism who can do anything for fame and fortune and deceive them, and such people are scum in Taoism. The Taoist disciples of their Taoism who are pure in heart and have few desires for self-cultivation are ashamed to be with the two of them.
The two scum brought a bad head to the younger generation, and some disciples who were not deeply involved in the world and lacked concentration were snare by the two of them and acted as accomplices.
Zhou Qi asked worriedly: "Then what should I do, some people's choices involve the foundation of the country." ”
Zhou Qi was as worried as all the adults, and the Martial Sect was obsessed with alchemy and cultivating immortals. Helplessly, Wuzong didn't know the true face of Lushan, only because he was in this mountain.
Because the ministers either explicitly or implicitly advised, there was a rift between Wuzong and the ministers.
Zhou Qi suddenly had an idea, it would be good if the person in front of him was Xuanyuan Ji, if he asked him to persuade Wu Zong, he might be able to wake up the person in his dream with a word. Even if it wasn't for Xuanyuan Ji, with this old man's Taoism, his words would have some effect on Wuzong.
Learning music is secondary. He wanted to lobby Xuanyuan Ji and introduce him to the palace to meet Wuzong.
Zhou Qi: "Uncle, cultivators have a heart to help the world. Uncle, why don't you use what you have learned in your life to contribute to the court. ”
Xuanyuan Ji: "Zhou Sheng, not really. Just like Zhao Guizhen and Deng Yuanqi and others, not only did they not have the heart to help the people and save the world, but they also used their teachings to sell their reputations. As for the old man, there is wine and meat, he is at ease, and it is enough to live happily for the rest of his life. What Your Excellency is saying is that I am too old to be able to do it. ”
