Dao Ran never despised the emperor who sought immortality, because it was an inevitable choice of human nature.

has already sat on the world, what is the pursuit of life if you don't seek immortality?

They hadn't read Marxism-Leninism.

Therefore, it is better to be blocked, and the emperor asked for immortality, so he tried his best to help him live forever. The national teacher can rely on alchemy to help the emperor live forever, and Daoran also has Buddhist means to help people live forever.

Not to mention anything else, Listen to the Bodhi Pure Heart Song twice a day to ensure a long life.

As for whether we can borrow another 500 years from heaven, then we will talk about it then. Dao Ran only needs to use a little Buddhist means to gain the support of the emperor, and then find a way to kill the national teacher.

After this cancer is resolved, Dao Ran can resign from the official position, or introduce the emperor to Fahai. As long as you step into the door of cultivation, it is not a big problem to live for two or three hundred years.

Daoran stayed in the government for a few days, mainly to inquire with Nie Zhengyan about the distribution of various forces in the capital.

In today's imperial court, not counting the imperial forces represented by the emperor, there are only three main forces.

The civil and official forces led by Nie Zhengyan's teacher Pang Taishi, the military generals led by the general Yang Ye, and the last one is the Chongyang Taoist Temple force headed by the national teacher Qiansu Zhenren.

On the surface, civil officials controlled all the administrative work of the imperial court, and almost all government decrees needed to be stamped and approved by several ministers of Zhongshu Province before they could be implemented.

However, the Chongyang concept of the national teacher Qiansu Zhenren is completely out of the control of the civil official group, and is almost an independent small kingdom.

This is simply a country within a country, although it is only limited to the scope of the Taoist temple, but in this place, the real person of Qiansu is the emperor.

Even if you are a thief, as long as you run to the Chongyang Temple, and Qiansu Zhenren is willing to protect him, the imperial court has no way, unless the people from the Criminal Department rebel first and overthrow the current emperor.

As for the military generals group, they basically didn't care about the competition between the civilian clique and the Chongyang Temple, and General Yang only acted on the emperor's orders, and his mind was focused on defending the frontier.

As long as the national teachers and civil officials did not point fingers at the generals, General Yang did not speak at all, and the court only acted as an audience.

Dao Ran remembered several important names mentioned by Nie Zhengyan, if he wants to go to Beijing to be these two national teachers, he has to find a way to get through the path of these people, otherwise he won't even be able to see the emperor's face, how can he be a national teacher?

I haven't engaged in these intrigues for many years, and Daoran feels a little rusty.

Speaking of which, he wasn't very good at this kind of method in his previous life. He was just more cautious, more polite, and more diligent than the others, and when he finally looked around, the people of his time had been left far behind him.

Eight sides are exquisite, and they have the ability, and the two are combined, as long as they are not unlucky as if they have been cursed, they can basically get ahead.

And in both aspects, Daoran is quite confident.

Daoran didn't stay in Hangzhou City for long, and soon packed his bags and prepared to go to the capital.

From Hangzhou to the capital, it is really a thousand miles away.

Daoran needs to cross three state capitals to get there.

Even with Daoran's footsteps, I'm afraid it will take more than half a month.

Dao Ran is not in a hurry, even if he is allowed to fly to the capital now, it will not make any sense. If you want to become a national teacher, you need not only the connections of the bigwigs in the capital, but also fame.

A nobody, if he wants to be a national teacher, even if he sends tens of thousands of taels of gold to Master Pang, it is useless, because he can't do it at all.

But if Dao Ran was already famous all over the world before he arrived in the capital, then the recommendation would be logical.

Therefore, foreshadowing is very important.

Daoran is on the way to Beijing, rushing is second, and brushing fame is the key.

The people of Hangzhou are already very clear about Daoran's ability, and every household is praising the good name of the holy monk. Hangzhou is also a wealthy place, and there are many merchants, so Daoran's fame has spread to nearby Suzhou.

Daoran's next target is Suzhou.

Because he heard that Suzhou will hold a martial arts conference in a few days, this kind of excitement is very suitable for him to brush up on the prestige of the holy monk.

Moreover, after traveling for so long, he really hasn't seen what the martial arts in this world are like.

After packing his luggage, Daoran took Shenxiu out with him.

Although this monk, who is very good at brain supplementation, is a bit dead-faced, as a disciple, he still does a very thoughtful job.

Daoran was hungry, so Shenxiu came back from Sanzanglou to pack fasting and eat; Daoran wanted to go out, so Shenxiu took the initiative to carry his luggage; Daoran was going to Suzhou, and Shenxiu had already contacted the caravan and could arrive by carriage.

This monk, except for a little criticism, is really a good apprentice.

Dao Ran is the kind of character that can enjoy it and is definitely not difficult for himself, with such a hard-working disciple by his side, he really can't find a reason to refuse.

Although there is no name of master and apprentice, Dao Ran actually accepted Shenxiu as a disciple.

Anyway, he can make up for his brain as much as he likes, and it is best to learn to be crooked and vulgar with him as a teacher, and it is not a good story.

It's just that when Daoran was about to leave Hangzhou, an uninvited guest appeared, which surprised Daoran very much.

A delicate and lovely girl in Tsing Yi stood in front of Dao Ran and said very sincerely, "Master Dao Ran, thank you for saving your life. ”

"You...... Are you a Xiaoqing benefactor? Daoran asked a little uncertainly.

At that time, it was just a glimpse, and I didn't pay much attention to my appearance when I was patronizing to see if it was white. After putting on his clothes, Dao Ran really didn't recognize it.

"I didn't expect the mage to recognize me, you just call me Xiaoqing." The girl said generously.

"The little young girl suddenly came to the door, what is the so-called?" Daoran asked curiously.

"I want to follow the mage to repay the grace of saving my life." Xiaoqing said firmly.

"I heard Miss Bai say, I'm afraid you only have ten years to live, why don't you hurry up and practice, maybe there is still a glimmer of life."

Xiaoqing shook her head and said, "It's useless, I don't know the cultivation method of the human race, my sister said to help me go to Yaochi to ask for an exercise, and I don't know if I can ask for it." Instead of waiting in the mountains, it is better to experience what it is like to be a human while I am still alive, otherwise the suffering of this Transfiguration Tribulation will be wasted. ”

"Then you don't need to follow the little monk to endure hardships, the little young girl can enjoy life." Daoran suggested.

Although a beautiful girl is very pleasing to the eye by her side, and she can enhance her relationship with Bai Suzhen through Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing only has ten years to live, and she can't use Xiaoqing as a tool to fool her.

"I've never been a human being, and I don't know what people can enjoy. Shadow used to be my sister, but she betrayed me and almost killed me. In this world, except for Sister Bai, only Master Dao Ran is trustworthy, and I want to ask Master Dao Ran to take me with me and teach me what it is like to be a human being. I wonder what Xiaoying is so striving for, and it is worth betraying the relationship between the two of us. Xiao Qing said sadly.

Shenxiu stood aside, and although he didn't speak, he frowned tightly.

Monks and women are mixed together, it is really against the rules and precepts, and this is still a female monster, so it should be even more respectful.

"Master is a virtuous monk, he should understand this truth, and he will definitely refuse, right?"

Shenxiu was thinking so, but heard Dao Ran say: "Since this is the case, then the little monk will temporarily walk with the little young girl." ”

Xiaoqing smiled gratefully and said to Dao Ran, "Thank you, Master, I'll go and report this to my sister first, and I'll be back soon." ”

After that, Xiaoqing lifted the little skirt and ran away.

Dao Ran couldn't help laughing, this action was like a bear child rushing home for dinner.

Seeing Xiaoqing leaving, Shenxiu finally couldn't help but ask, "Master, how can a monk mix with a woman, this is a violation of the precepts, not to mention, she is still a female monster." ”

Daoran turned his head and said to Shenxiu, "I'm not doing this for you?" ”

"Amitabha, I don't understand, and I ask the master to solve my doubts." Shenxiu clasped his hands together and said respectfully.

"Have you forgotten that during the Fa Conference, I told you that the bronze mirror can be a teacher. The object is in front of the mirror, and the image is delicate; Elsewhere, the bronze mirror is not stained with dust. You said at the time that this is the truth that things should be done and the past is not left behind.

"And now, the little young girl has left, and you still have her shadow in your heart, and even linger in your heart. Shenxiu, your cultivation is far from enough. I left the little young girl to help you practice, and when you can do it, you can do it, and forget it, and you can understand the realm of 'color is emptiness, and emptiness is color'. ”

When Shenxiu heard this, he suddenly had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and then looked at Daoran's expression, which was really as solemn as the Buddha.

"Master, the apprentice has been taught." Shenxiu said reverently.

【…… +1 for your spell holding】

Dao Ran saw the hint and also showed a kind smile, this Shenxiu monk is really good to use to brush attributes.
