Chapter 41: The Immortals Catch the Six Baskets

West Lake, surrounded by mountains. The mountain is winding and undulating, but the guests can take a walk and the front and back viewers are also ridges. The ridge is listed in the north and south peaks, and the mountains on the left and right are not enough. Even if it can be called, it is not enough to call it a situation. It is only called a corner position, and there is no one with his surname. The area to the west of the Dubao Shu Tower is called Geling. What can I say? Cover the test. This ridge in the Jin Dynasty, there was a strange person Ge Hong, on this ridge to cultivate into an immortal, a moment of outstanding people, the surname of the people, that is, the surname of the ridge.

Who is this Ge Hong? His name is Zhichuan, and he was originally a native of Jurong, Jinling. When he was in the Three Kingdoms, he learned the Tao from Zuo Ci and obtained the Nine Dan Golden Liquid Immortal Sutra, and Ge Xuan, the immortal prince who was raised by Dayi, was his ancestor. On the day of the ascension of the immortal prince, he once passed the three caves of the Shangqing Dynasty and the Lingbao Zhongmeng through the seal, and awarded it to his disciple Zheng Siyuan, and asked the descendants of my family. If there is someone to pass on, don't keep it a secret. Therefore, Ge Hong was born and was extraordinary. But his parents died young, and his family was very poor. But I like that he was born with a quiet temperament, and he is not deeply in love with all kinds of desires in the world, and his only love is to read and go to the Tao. But he had no books to read, so he had to go to the mountains to cut some firewood, pick it up and sell it in the market, and when he sold it for money, he bought some paper and pencil and came back, and borrowed other people's books to copy and read. and copied and read, not afraid of cold and heat, so for more than ten years, he became a great Confucian.

Someone persuaded him: "My brother's studies can also be said to be successful, if you are willing to go out and seek employment, you will not worry about poverty." ”

Ge Hong replied: "Reading is a reasonable ear, how can it be said that the fame is poor? ”

The persuader said: "The fame is grateful, but the poor are difficult." Now my brother is in the prime of life, just because he is poor, he has not yet been granted a room, and if he is not a leader, where will his wife come from? ”

Ge Hong said with a smile: "Liang Hong has Meng Guang as his wife, and he has not heard of it. Even if you want to be a leader, you can also be at your own time, why should you ask for it? ”

The persuader could not answer.

Ge Hong's knowledge is both high and his affection is far away, so he lives in idleness, but Dumen sweeps and never makes a fool of himself. When there is a mood, but invite a tour of the landscape to be comfortable. One day, under several long pines in Qingdai Mountain, a piece of white stone sat on the basket, quietly playing with the verdant color of the mountain, thinking that he was born in the mountain, but he was not close to the mountain, thinking that he was floating outside the mountain, but he went to the mountain far away, and this color was gone, so he realized: "What Master Meng said, 'look at the face, look at the back', it is this kind of truth, the reason why this mountain is called longevity." ”

I was pondering and contemplating, but on this day, there was just a Taishou of the South China Sea, surnamed Bao, named Xuan, with many guests, also came to Qingdai Mountain to play, first ate half a day of wine on the half-mountain pavilion, and when the wine was drunk, each took a walk. Bao Xuan occasionally brought a Xiangshi, was swimming to Ge Hong's sitting place, and suddenly saw Ge Hong sitting on the stone, Ang Ang hidden, Feng Shen elegant, not surprised, because of the Xiangshi said: "Look at this person, the body is leisurely, he should be rich and noble, why is he so young, Ganju Quanshi?" ”

Xiangshangyin looked at it fixedly, and said: "This young man is inherently rich, but the wealth is still limited, and there is a big deal, can the old gentleman ever see it?" ”

Bao Xuan said: "Outside of wealth, you don't know." ”

Xiangshi said: "You see that his eyebrows are beautiful, his breath is compelling, his eyes are burning and bright, and Angzang is as strong as a wild crane, this is a fairy among the gods." ”

When Bao Xuan heard this, he still didn't believe it, so he stepped forward, arched his hand at Ge Hong, and said, "Eldest brother, please." ”

Ge Hong was looking at the mountain to a proud place, bowing his head and paying attention to it, and suddenly heard someone surrendering to him; When he hurriedly looked back, he saw that it was an old ancestor, so he had to stand up, bow deeply, and said: "The younger generation is greedy for the mountains, and they don't know how to drive here, so they are guilty of losing their avoidance." ”

Bao Xuan saw that he was humble and polite, and became more and more happy, because he asked again: "I see that the eldest brother has a heroic expression, when galloping in the middle of the road, why do you have the leisure to find mountains and rivers and do such a lonely thing?" ”

Ge Hong replied: "Taste the sage and gentleman's involvement in the world, that is, the wind and clouds in the Jushi Road, and it is also appropriate to have the elegance of the landscape, such as the old gentleman is today." What's more, when the younger generation is poor, there is still a long way to go to Shilu, and they have to use some mountains and rivers to cultivate sex. ”

Bao Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "The eldest brother is not only extraordinary, but also has a wonderful and extraordinary discussion, and he is really high, respectable and enviable." ”

Hence the last name. Ge Hong said: "I haven't learned about Shandou yet, and the late-born boy dares to be arrogant." ”

Bao Xuan said: "My student Nanhai County guards Bao Xuanye, outdated Chen people, why worry about it." ”

Ge Hong hurriedly greeted him again and said, "Taishan Beidou, the result is true." Late-born Ge Hong, a lonely cold corporal, how fortunate to see the purple qi. ”

Bao Xuan listened and said, "This is Brother Ge." But I don't know where the fairy town is? ”

Ge Hong said: "The ancestral home is Jurong, Jinling. ”

Bao Xuan said: "When I heard Jurong County, the Three Kingdoms, there was an immortal who soared in the daytime, the Taoist name Ge Xiaoxian, and my brother had the same surname as him, so he knew his origin. ”

Ge Hong greeted him again and said, "This is the ancestor of the late birth." I am ashamed of myself, and I am still a mortal, and I am ashamed to say it. ”

Bao Xuan was overjoyed when he heard it, because he said to Xiangshi: "The ancestors and grandsons are angry, my brother is a fairy among the gods, and he is not false." ”

Xiangshi replied with a smile: "If you don't say anything, you can't lie about it; It is not reasonable, and the yin and yang qi between the real world and the earth are not false. ”

Ge Hong saw that the two of them were talking for a reason, so he asked why. Bao Xuan then looked at what he said and said it in detail. Ge Hong listened at this time, although he was humbly grateful, but the shadow of a fairy had already fallen in his chest.

Ge Hong saw that Bao Taishou had a lot of guests, and he was afraid that he had something serious, so he said goodbye and returned. Bao Xuan was reluctant to hold his hand, and repeatedly asked where he lived, so he let him go. Precisely:

Confidant acquaintances are rare in ancient times, and they only need to speculate with a word.

Besides, the words are all wishful, how can you not rely on your body and mind.

Why do you say why Bao Xuan loves Ge Hong so much? It turned out that he had a daughter, named Miss Qianguang, who was the most beloved and had not yet had a good son-in-law. Seeing Ge Hong as a young man today, he is dashing and talented, and he pays attention to it. The next day, he entrusted Xiangshi as a matchmaker to come to meet Ge Hong Daoda Bao Taishou. Ge Hong was only poor and thanked him repeatedly, but Bao Taishou was affectionate and earnest, so in a word, he formed a Qin-Jin marriage alliance. After a short time, they were harmonious, and the husband and wife got along.

Since then, Bao Xuan and Ge Hong have been in contact with each other from time to time between Weng and his son-in-law. It turns out that Bao Xuan's best is the outer pill and the technique of internal cultivation. Because he saw that Ge Hong was from the descendant of the gods, he used all the Danshu he obtained. Day and night are particular about Ge Hong, counting on him to have some family heirlooms. Ge Hongyin said: "The little son-in-law has to cultivate immortals together, and he has to refine himself in each person, although he has a family education, it is just some ordinary guidance methods, so he has to maintain his qi and blood, and plan for longevity." As for the matter of ascension, I want to come to the Great Dan. ”

When Bao Xuan heard this, he thought it was true, so he paid attention to the art of Dadan.
