Later, due to the countless bandits in the southeast, the imperial court ordered the governor Gu Mi to lead the soldiers to ask for it. This Gu Mi and Bao Xuan were old friends, and before leaving, Bao Xuan stayed because of the banquet, and ordered Ge Hong to accompany him. Gu Mi saw that Ge Hongqi Yu Xuan was open-minded, and he said a word, which was quite meaningful, and he was talented, because he asked him: "In the southeast area today, the bandits are in chaos, and they are connected to each other, and there will be thousands of miles." The Governor was ordered to beg for it, but he did not know what else to do. Brother Ge is talented, and he should teach me. ”

Ge Hong said: "Corporal Kusano, I don't know the strategy. But the people who think of thieves are also, those who rise up violently, but they are forced by hunger and cold. Some companies don't know how to save mercy, and they use the cruelty of urging the department to abuse them, so that they can't live, so they are not afraid of death and make chaos, which is not the great ambition to fight for separation. For a while, the rabble, the discipline was unknown, and the order of grace and mercy was dissolved in an instant. If you want to demonstrate and take risks, you will not know what is going on in the world. I hope that the old man will cherish his life for heaven and earth, and cherish the blessings of the court. ”

When Gu Mi heard this, he was unconsciously happy, because he said to Bao Xuan: "Brother Zhichuan is not only talented, but also observes the thief's feelings, which is like burning a rhino watching a fire, and disbanding the plot is actually a benevolent and righteous act." A glass of wine and a few words, the governor has learned a lot. The military is in danger, and it should not be bothered to read Gao Xian, but if there is a change for a while, the governor knows that he is dull, and he may not be able to respond quickly. If you are a little worse, you will not lose your teacher and humiliate the country. It is intended to temporarily condescend to the high and virtuous, work together, have doubts, facilitate the teaching, make the southeast quiet, or also benevolent people's wishes. Brother Wangge agreed. ”

Ge Hongyin thanked him and said: "I will offer it, but I will be one of the adults." If you take advantage of this, you will know a lot, and you will rarely miss something, and you will dare to do it. ”

Gu Mi said: "It can work for a long time, let alone all-rounder." The Governor's will has been decided, and I hope that I will not give up. ”

The entourage army took a county lieutenant's edict, filled in Ge Hong's name, and sent the county lieutenant's clothes and crown, saying: "For the time being, I will give in, and I will be invited, and I will have no other life." ”

Ge Hong was about to excuse himself, but Bao Xuanyin persuaded him from the side: "Learn when you are young, do it when you are strong, and your husband's ambition is also." Although the virtuous son-in-law has no high ambition, but he has accumulated meritorious deeds, and he is not poor, then the word fame is also indispensable in life. It is rare to have a confidant, and now he is favored by the old governor, and he is also a confidant of the virtuous son-in-law. Why don't you look up to its success, so that the southeast people die and suddenly live, disturb and settle suddenly, wouldn't it be more happy to embrace the benevolence in vain? As for the fame after the fact, it is okay to abandon it. At this time, why should you be hungry and not eat, thirsty and not drink, and waste this work of cultivation. ”

Gu Mi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Mr. Bao's words are very good, Brother Ge must not listen." ”

Ge Hong saw each other's exhortations, knowing the righteousness, only then did he receive the edict, wore the crown belt, first thanked the holy grace, and then thanked the commander, and then entered, said goodbye to his father-in-law, mother-in-law and wife, and actually followed Gu Dudu and led the three armies away. Precisely:

Don't recognize Dan as an immortal, and accumulate merit is the first.

If you don't do good, then you will become nine days.

Gu Inspector's soldiers had not yet reached the southeast boundary, and Ge Hong had already offered a plan: "The thief's nest is far away, and it is difficult to suppress it everywhere. But it is not easy to think about surrendering, and it must make his heart feel and fearful before he can be satisfied. If you want to feel it now, you must use great grace to tie it up; If you want to be afraid of it, you must be powerful. Great grace is just a piece of paper, and Dawei must be a million. Why is it feared by the limitations of the present Yuan Master? ”

Gu Mi said: "What will you do if you do this?" ”

Ge Hong said: "Hong Wen's voice is the most moving. The marshal may first send a letter to the southeastern prefectures and counties, and falsely send a number of troops and grain and grass to each prefecture, and each prefecture and county to send a number of troops and a number of grain and grass; A soldier should defend what danger, and a soldier should take advantage of the situation to attack the village; What is the reward for winning the first grade; Break a camp and enter He Jue; Wait for the arrival of millions of soldiers in the Governor's Mansion and march together to suppress it. Fierce roar, noisy all around. However, he secretly warned that all prefectures and counties did not need to have actual soldiers and horses, but they prepared more artillery and bluffed the momentum of killing, so that the thieves were naturally frightened when they heard it. Then he ordered Hong to lead a brigade to preach the grace of the saints, and recruit them along the road, and he was convinced by his fear. ”

Gu Inspector called it a clever plan and acted according to the plan one by one. Within a few days, all prefectures and counties had rumors that the soldiers had arrived, and there were orders for the troops to enter and suppress them, and they all set up flags, artillery, grain and grass, thinking that they were used for suppression. When the thieves heard this, they were all terrified. Those who are strong are still thinking of taking risks in order to get lucky, and the weak have long regretted it. After a day or two, I suddenly heard that the edict had arrived, and I wrote an edict along the way:

All things are self-pouring, and the cultivation of heaven and earth is endless. Whoever I am a people, and occasionally tempts a thief with hunger and cold, I have great mercy on them. If you can repent and reform yourself, you can quickly recruit soldiers to the prefectures and counties, and still return to their hometowns to live in peace, then they will forgive their sins, and avoid the money and grain they owe. If it is hungry and cold, the amount will be increased after the matter is settled. There are those who can get the head of the thief to donate, reward thousands of gold, and seal ten thousand households. If you are obsessed, the soldiers will be powdered when they arrive, and they will have no regrets?

When the thieves saw that the edict was written clearly and earnestly, they were all overjoyed and said, "I have a way to live." ”

Then they all paid all the swords, guns, bows, and arrows they were holding to the prefectures and counties, and they scattered in a hurry. The prefectures and counties took the weapons he had received and placed them on the top of the city, and the vital places were needed to help in the suppression. When the thief first saw this, he had nothing to do, and wanted to support the people, but the people were scattered. If you want to take risks, but you are lonely, how can you rely on it, you have to think about it. There were already a few personal thieves, and they inquired about the edict of rewarding thousands of gold and sealing ten thousand households, so you thought about being tied up to ask for a reward, and I thought about beheading to make contributions. Thou shalt fight for me, and thou shalt cut the head of the thief into meat sauce, and thou shalt not offer it. The leader of the thieves is dead, and the remnants of the party have fled, and there are still traces there. and Gu Dudu's soldiers arrived at the border, and the southeast area was already a peaceful world, and there was nowhere to work a soldier, a general, a arrow, and a cannon. Gu Dudu was overjoyed and said: "This is all the work of the county lieutenant." ”

Then the court played carefully, please increase the reward. The imperial court saw that the soldiers were bloodless, and the four realms were cleared, which was very rewarding, because he was given the title of Marquis of Guannei. When the edict arrived, everyone congratulated. Ge Hongdu said bitterly: "Hong Ben is a scholar, supported by Marshal Meng, and has to prepare consultants. That is, the level of the bandits, the non-marshal soldiers, Hehejialin, who will believe a word, and disband? This is all due to the marshal Huwei, the marshal is modest and does not have his own, and it is all thanks to Hong, and he was given the title by the Holy Lord. Corporal Hong Ziwei Caomao, why should he be like this? Marshal Wanwang resigned on his behalf. ”

Gu Mi said: "Regardless of the merit of disbandment, that is, the prestige of the soldiers, and the promotion of the hypocrisy of the county of the Virtuous Waiting Prefecture, how can it be all in this governor?" The virtuous marquis is meritorious but not employed, and the imperial court does not suspect that the virtuous marquis is a thin name, but suspects that the virtuous marquis is hypocritical. Why is it so hard to say? However, it seems impossible to do so. ”

When Ge Hong heard this, he was very hesitant.

It turned out that Ge Hong's original thoughts were not very focused on fame, but on cultivation. Pingsu and Bao Xuan are exquisite, knowing that cultivation is important to get Dansha, and Dansha is the best Jiaozhi, and now he sees that he is not going to resign his fame, so he turned his mind and said: "Hong Bensheng, who is not familiar with the court ceremonies, is almost guilty." Today, the marshal has been taught, and it is not necessary to resign from the knighthood, but the scholars have their own ambitions, and they have their own suitability. It's always a courtier, don't know it? ”

Gu Mi said: "If you have suffered, it is not hypocritical. But I don't know where the virtuous marquis wants? ”

Ge Hong said: "Begging for a missed order, the wish of life is enough." ”

Gu Mi said: "Hook leak, Xia Yi also, why does the virtuous marquis want to be here?" ”

Ge Hong said: "This Hong Suzhi is also, I hope the marshal is thoughtful." ”

Gu Mi promised, and Guo tactfully turned a book for him. After a while, he ordered to say: Ge Hong has done a great job, and he missed an order, how can it be compensated. It is said that he has excellent ambitions, and he will go to work immediately. Although the marquis does not worship, it can be hung as a false title to show that the court treats meritorious heroes preferentially.

Ge Hong thanked the holy grace, and thanked Gu Dudu, and then returned home by the order, and Yue Weng Bao Xuan will beg for the omission of the order, and ask for a detailed explanation of the matter of Dansha, Bao Xuan was overjoyed. Soon he said goodbye to Yue Weng, took his wife, Miss Qianguang, and took office. Precisely:

An official goes far away from the world, and his reputation is not high.

If you ask what you want and what you want, who knows that Su Zhi is in Dansha.

Sure enough, it was a small county, and Ge Hong commuted his sentence when he arrived, and the rumors were lenient. In less than two months, the governance is as clear as water, and the people are really free from freezing, and the officials have spare time. Therefore, Ge Hong had nothing to do in the Yaya, and when he heard about the famous places of Luofu, he often went to visit, wanting to use the principle of mountains and rivers to understand the science of life. Seeing the landscape, in spring and summer, the grass and trees are flourishing, and in the autumn and winter, the plants and trees are declining. ”

Occasionally see the plum blossoms in full bloom, see the bloomer open, the fall falls, because and realized: "This is not the plum has blooming, but also the gas has the rise and fall, so the plum blooms when it is in full bloom, and it falls because of its decline." ”

Therefore, he realized himself: "All things are in the air, how can anyone alone come out of the air?" The young and strong are also in full bloom; The old man is exhausted. If you want to live forever, you must keep this qi strong and not fail. This "Dan Sutra" is so expensive to nourish qi. ”

From day to night, only to nourish qi as a thing, at the beginning only to recuperate; Subsequent use of pranayama; Then he closes his mouth, and makes his breath come out of his nose; Then the long and short release; then spit out the old and accept the new, and directly enter the dantian; Then go straight to the tail, and go straight to the spine, and gradually have a sense of running through the top, for a long time, only to feel that the spirit in the belly is sufficient, full of qi and blood circulation, very happy. Because he secretly thought: "I have great happiness in my own body, but I don't go to cook, why do I turn to the world to love this chicken rib?" ”

At this time, he was making an order for three years, so he untied the seal and accepted it to his boss, but he went away with his illness. When I arrived at my hometown a few days later, I met Bao Xuan and said: "My son-in-law has been an official for three years, and it is really a breeze with two sleeves, but there is only a basket of dansha, and I will present Mount Tai and talk about one of the uses of Zuowaidan." ”

Bao Xuan smiled and said: "If you get this, there is a kind of yellow and white, and there is no excuse for the world." ”

Since then, Weng and his son-in-law, Du Men have not come out, either to nourish qi or to alchemy. Within a few months, the Wai Dan has become a company, not only for a living, but also for the world. However, after thinking about it carefully, it was useless to save his life, so Ge Hong didn't care at all. Although he didn't care, the name of Ge Hong's cultivation had already spread in all directions.
