The coachman vaguely heard the movement, thinking that Ji Yu had an accident, and jumped in directly.

When I saw the situation in the courtyard clearly, my mind couldn't turn for a while.

"Just in time, tie him up for me."

The coachman looked at Ji Yu, and then at Chengming, who was lying on the ground, looking very embarrassed.

"Miss, the water washed the Dragon King Temple, and Chengming is also the ...... in the house."

"I know he's from the house, I'll let you tie him up now, do you have an opinion?"

How dare you have any opinions, the big steward has said that everything is up to the young lady.

The coachman found a rope, and according to Ji Yu's request, he tied up the loveless Chengming Wuhua, and then carried it to the carriage.

Ji Yu followed and was about to go, but was dragged by the old Taoist priest.

"You, why do you cross the river with your front foot and tear down the bridge with your back foot?"

"What else is going on with you?"

The old Taoist priest knew that Ji Yu was in a bad mood at this time, and he didn't sell Guanzi indiscriminately, so he said: "That, Poor Dao plans to enter the palace." ”

Even though Ji Yu was in a hurry to rush back to the Marquis of Hanchang's mansion, she was also shocked by these words.

"You want to be a eunuch?"

The old Taoist priest glared: "I'm so old, what kind of eunuch should I be!" ”

Ji Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart, "It's not bad if you don't have this identity as a eunuch.

"Then what are you doing in the palace?"

The old Taoist priest looked around sneakily, and then lowered his voice and said, "The Zheng family has been recruiting Taoist priests recently. ”

"Didn't you just say that in the palace, why did you get involved with Zheng ...... again" Ji Yu suddenly said, "Zheng Guogong's mansion, Zheng Guifei's mother's house?" ”

The old Taoist priest gave her an approving look.

Ji Yu was puzzled: "What are they recruiting Taoist priests for?" ”

"Naturally, it was recruited for the emperor."

"I just came to the capital not long ago, I know that this emperor believes in Buddhism, and often recruits Xiangguo Temple to preside over the palace to participate in Zen and study scriptures, what is the matter with your Taoist priests?"

"That was before. People, there is a need for a moment, the first half of the life went astray, and the second half of the life is lost. ”

The old Taoist priest was still secretly poking and boasting about himself, and when he caught a glimpse of Ji Yu's little eyes that saw through everything, he stopped and became serious.

"Buddhism pursues to break the cycle of life and death and be fearless of reincarnation, but our Taoists pursue immortality, so they are often jokingly called ghouls, and they also say that 'after 80,000 eons, they will eventually die'.

How do they know that among all living beings, there are not many people who can really achieve desireless detachment. It is that all people have attachments, and attachment to everything can actually be attributed to attachment to the physical body.

As for the cycle of life and death, how ethereal is it?

Others may believe it, but the emperor won't believe it, or the emperor doesn't dare to bet - this life is already the extreme, where is there a better afterlife than this? Sitting on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and enjoying the prosperity of the world, who is willing to die? As soon as you close your eyes and let go, there is nothing.

Let's just tell you this, but any emperor who lives to a certain age wants to pursue immortality. I don't dare to say that there are at least seven or eight out of ten.

If someone told him at this time that the cause of this life and the effect of the next life, and that the place and identity of your rebirth after death should be determined by the karma you had done before, how would he feel?

The road of the emperor is paved with blood donation, and there are even those who are deeply iniquated, who are not afraid to enter the animal path when they step into reincarnation? Even if you don't enter the animal path, it's not interesting to be reborn as a pawn of a trader. It's better to borrow his life from heaven and live for another thousand children for 800 years, and it is better to live forever......

In this way, it is not uncommon to go out of the Buddha and enter the Tao. ”

Ji Yu has also taken a history class, knowing that among the emperors of previous dynasties, there are indeed not a few people who are obsessed with seeking immortals and asking for medicine, and some of them worked conscientiously for the country and the people in the first half of their lives, but in their later years, they suddenly indulged in alchemy and cultivation, which shows that even if you are an emperor, you are no different from ordinary people when facing life and death.

What the old Taoist priest said was not wrong, but it was ......

"Having said so much, are you going to enter the palace to refine that elixir of immortality for the emperor?"

Ji Yu slowly frowned.

"I'll tell you the old Taoist, you usually cheat and cheat, don't really fall into the crooked way. Is there any elixir in this world? The bones of your ancestors are buried in the ground, that is the appearance of Chiguoguo. ”

"Who do you think of Poor Dao as? Although alchemy is a Taoist tradition, it is not a poor Taoist specialty. But Poor Dao wants to correct you, the pills are not all bad, and there are good things in that thing, but they have a bad reputation by some rat feces. ”

"I don't know if it's good or bad, I just know that from ancient times to the present, all Taoist priests who give the emperor alchemy have not ended well. If the emperor eats too much pills, he will generally die of mercury poisoning, and when the emperor kicks his legs, the Taoist priest who refines the medicine will definitely have to be buried with him. ”

The old Taoist priest repeatedly promised: "If you don't practice medicine, if you don't practice medicine, you will only give people a life." ”

Ji Yu was speechless: "You are not as good as other people's alchemy, it is a skill, you just touch it up and down, all by flickering?" ”

"What's wrong with lip service? Poor Dao depends on this to eat. ”

"It's okay to fool the small people in the market, but when you enter the palace, you dare to give someone a life, it's not good to try? can only say good things, but there is no shortage of good words around the emperor, and it won't be your turn to go around the capital a hundred times, so don't be iron, continue to talk to your Taoist friends. ”

Ji Yu didn't believe in the old Taoist's fooling Dafa, she simply didn't want the old Taoist to wade into troubled waters. I haven't eaten pork and seen pigs run, and I haven't entered the palace and I know that the palace is not a good place, a place of right and wrong, and they are still trying to stay away from them.

The old Taoist priest's beard is about to blow away.

"Don't care how Poor Dao fools, Poor Dao is here to ask you for sponsorship."

Needless to ask, the word sponsorship was also learned from Ji Yu.

Ji Yu looked at his hand stretched out to her, and without hesitation, she directly handed him the money bag she was carrying.

When the old Taoist priest opened it, he saw that it was all broken silver, and there were only ten taels of ingots.

"Don't you know, the housekeeper of Zheng Guogong's house is a dead man who wants money, and he doesn't believe it when Poor Dao says that he is going to break his leg next month, so he wants money...... As long as you clear this level with silver, you won't have to worry about it after that. ”

The old Taoist priest paused, and there was flattery in his obscenity: "When the poor road soars, I will pay you back ten times and a hundred times." Poor Dao can give you an IOU. ”

"This money is not for you to go through the back door, but for your emergency use, if you don't have enough, you can go to me again, enter the palace or rest." We don't do that lack of morality, and we don't commit that life-threatening thing, believe me, the vast world is in the people. ”

Ji Yu symbolically comforted him, called Xiao Ding, and walked away.

"You are just a little family sparrow, where do you know the ambition of the poor road......"

The old Taoist stumbled in morale, chased out the door, and the carriage had already started.

He muttered angrily, "There is a time when you beg me to go." ”

Noon has passed, Ji Yu has not come back, and the housekeeper Wei thinks that she will not come back today.

Regarding this matter, Fu Xitang has already looked for him several times before and after, all of which are asking him to take care of Ji Yu, what a girl's family looks like when she runs out all day long.

The chief steward should only not listen.

This is the only bloodline of Hou Ye, he can do whatever he wants, how can he hold back and wronged her in the backyard.

Besides, Hou Ye had already instructed that everything should go according to Ji Yu, so he naturally listened to Hou Ye.

Speaking of which, Master Hou should also ......

"Butler, butler!" The little guy ran into the yard with a happy face, "Master Hou is back!" ”
