Chapter 114: The Strange Duck (10)

As mentioned in the last book, this Taoist priest had to go down the mountain from time to time to 'work'.

It is this economic need to earn money to make ends meet that gave birth to the unique Taoist 'Xuanmen Five Techniques', that is, the so-called 'mountain, form, life, medicine, and divination'!

Those who are mountaineering also view the mountains;

The former, the same as the ground;

The one who lives cultivates the Danding in order to create it;

Doctors, cure diseases and diseases;

Diviners, hexagrams to determine the good and evil.

These 'five techniques of Xuanmen' are said to be the five kinds of side jobs that Taoist priests usually engaged in in the past.

After going up the mountain to enjoy the beautiful scenery, the piggyback hand also digs up the valuable good things on the mountain, such as the century-old ginseng and the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

In this way, not only can it be sent to the pharmacy to exchange for silver, but it will also be used when you open the furnace for alchemy in the future.

'Xiangdi' is generally said to be 'looking for a grave in a house', being a feng shui gentleman, looking at yin and yang feng shui for others.

If you can find a big family who is willing to spend money, this is also a job that can make money.

Taoist priests study medicine is easier to understand, most Taoist temples are in the deep mountains, if you really have a sudden illness and want to ask a doctor, before people go up the mountain, the patient may be the first to swallow.

Therefore, it is better to seek others than to seek oneself, there are herbs in this mountain, learn more medical skills, and this life can be more stable, right?

In addition, most of the Taoist priests who go down the mountain can also rehearse gossip and speculate on good fortune and evil, who made this "Zhou Yi" explaining the evolution of hexagrams a must-read textbook on the mountain every day?

There is a golden house in the book, who said that?

"The most unique of the 'Five Techniques of Xuanmen' is the 'Life'.

On the same day, I asked my teacher if this 'cultivating Danding for creation' means setting up a furnace for alchemy, and when the furnace is opened, you can soar to become an immortal after taking it.

As a result, the teacher laughed for a while, and asked me if I know that throughout the ages, which Taoist priest became an immortal by eating pills? ”

"But what can be said, this heavenly Taishang Laojun is not only profound, but also has a gossip furnace in his hand to help, he should be regarded as an expert ancestor of alchemy, right?

But people also started alchemy after becoming immortals.

Hey, Brother Yang, did your master tell you what this 'life' technique is? ”

"Well...... The teacher said yes, but the problem was that I couldn't understand a word.

It's all mystical things like 'poor creation, refining the law for Dan, gambling on the casting machine, restraining success, making up for the deficiency, and determining cause and effect', and I don't know what the master is talking about. ”

"What's that? What is this? ”

"I don't know! The master said that the opportunity on my body was too shallow, so I couldn't understand it thoroughly, and after going down the mountain and traveling through the rivers and lakes in the future, I might have the opportunity to participate in it. ”

"Hey, isn't that what my dad said? Since I already know the answer, why don't you just say it, I have to ask people to look for it all over the world, what are these 'easy fate' and 'chance'?

Wait, Brother Yang, what are you blushing about? ”

Xiao Hu Sanzheng complained angrily, and suddenly found that Yang Congxun's face on the other side suddenly turned red, and the curiosity in the fox's stomach was immediately hooked.

"Brother Yang, why are you blushing all of a sudden? Isn't there something you're hiding from me? ”

"Huh? Have it? Am I blushing? Stop, Hu San, don't let that ghost bug go, I'll be honest. ”

Seeing that the little fox pouted his buttocks and returned his claws to take out the bamboo pipe from his tail, Yang Congxun hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed the little fox's paws.

"The third brother stayed, and the master suddenly asked me if I wanted to learn this alchemy with him."

"Huh? Learning alchemy? Isn't this pill impossible to become an immortal? So what do you want to learn it for? ”

"It's true that you can't become an immortal, but the master said that this alchemy is also a way to make a lot of money, especially refining the pills needed by those rich families, each of which is worth a lot of money."

Yang Congxun told Xiao Hu San that at the end of the conversation between master and apprentice that day, his master suddenly smiled at him, and asked himself seriously if he wanted to learn alchemy.

Listening to Qingyangzi, there is no pill in this world that makes people take to become immortals; But there are a lot of elixirs that make people happy like gods.

"What's that? Happy as a fairy elixir? ”

"Ahem, this elixir is actually a red pill."

"Red ...... Ao, the one offered by the Zhao Feiyan sisters and the one who ate the Han and Emperor to death in the end?

"It's almost, but the quality of the red pill now is much better than in the past, and the master and his old man have seen this kind of 'red pill' when he was walking in the capital."

Listening to Yang Congxun, when he was young, Daoist Qingyangzi accidentally cured the old cold leg of a Dajing official who had not healed for many years, and then was treated as a guest by him.

It was from the mouth of this Beijing official that Qingyangzi learned a rather surprising secret!

That was many years ago, when it was still Qianlong Ye who was in power, and the Beijing official was just a small imperial history platform learning to walk (apprenticeship imperial history).

Unlike what many people imagine, the emperor of the current dynasty actually doesn't usually go to the court.

It has always been only during important seasons such as the New Year's Day, the ploughing sacrifice, the canonization of the king, the protocol, and the peace conference that the ministers are gathered to go to the court.

Usually, the emperor would only summon a few ministers into the imperial study to perform in person.

All the ministers who wanted to see the emperor had to rush to the court room before the fourth watch and handed over the 'meal card' engraved with their names and titles to the eunuchs in the office.

Then the eunuch took advantage of the emperor's breakfast and presented the tray with the meal card.

If the emperor wanted to see someone, he would turn over their sign and put it on a plate, and then the eunuch in the office would inform the minister to go to the imperial study in advance to wait for the saint.

Well, this young man has a future, and the widow turned over his brand today.

The problem is that a person's energy is limited, and the emperor also has to rest and relax from time to time.

You can't ask the emperor to approve everything, right?

This courtier must also be able to share the worries of the Lord.

Therefore, sometimes, especially in the peaceful seasons when the world is peaceful and nothing happens, the ministers of the auxiliary government will take the initiative to put some less important things back a little.

Make room for the emperor and take a day off to rest.

Of course, the holidays are the holidays, and the emperor still has to get up early on time and can't be lazy.

Otherwise, when the hour comes, the eunuch's duck voice will echo endlessly at the head of your bed: "The ancestors have a system, and the morning will rise." ”

Not only is it annoying that you can't do it, but you can't cut off this noise source; Because this is the ancestral family law, people act according to the family law, and there is no merit or fault.

The thing that made the emperor a little easier on this day of vacation was to summon the minister in the imperial study.

Since it's a holiday, don't play the right thing, you have to deal with the two pairs between the monarch and the minister.

Let's talk about a few folk anecdotes, everyone is laughing and laughing, and the little day is very beautiful!

But then again, not every minister is willing to take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to the king on the holidays.

Because the people who meet the saints in the imperial study with you are sometimes a group of people who are very unpopular, for example...... Imperial History!

Who made the imperial history a speech official? They open their mouths to impeach and remove offended.

But the emperor has to summon the imperial history every three or five times, because this is a manifestation of the king's good advice.

It is very beautiful to be able to tease the emperor haha, but if it becomes the handle of the impeachment in the mouth of the imperial historian for this reason, then the old minister is still not sensitive.

Therefore, whenever the emperor regularly summons the imperial history, everyone has the ambition to go up together to find this uncomfortable.

On that day, it was the turn of this Beijing official to wait in the imperial study to face the saint.

However, what no one expected was that this time the face saint almost caused a killing disaster for this young imperial history!
