Li Ping'an put all the fish in the basin.

The little girl quickly ran out, "There's a guest coming!" ”

"Well, did the fairy entertain him?"

"Yes."

The little girl looked at a few big fat fish, and her eyes lit up.

"Hmm~"

"Da Ping An has caught a lot of fish, and the fairy will go to catch fish tomorrow."

"You go and entertain the guests, the fairy has gone to sell fish."

"Then I'll hand it over to the fairy, don't set the price too high, just make about the same profit, otherwise it won't be easy to sell...."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the little girl.

"I know, I know~"

Li Ping'an returned to the house and saw the supervisor and the worship.

"The two of you are polite, let me go down and wash my face."

The supervisor hurriedly said: "The two of us took the liberty of disturbing, and Mr. himself is." ”

Li Ping'an fetched water and simply washed his face.

walked back again, "What are you two doing this time to find Li?" ”

"For the sake of the past few days, thank you Mr. Li for his help in stabilizing the situation in Yanzhou."

"It's just a matter of raising your hands."

The supervisor smiled and complimented a few words, and then said.

"My Majesty has admired Mr. for a long time, and I heard that Mr. is here.

I want to invite Mr. to the palace to see him, and I want to thank Mr.

Second, I also want to witness the demeanor of Mr. ”

Emperor Da'an?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, in the next introduction, it is not appropriate to enter the palace to face the saint.

If you intend to go to the capital at that time, you may go to Beijing to meet Your Majesty. ”

The two seemed to have expected it, so they said: "If Mr. arrives in the capital, we will definitely greet him." ”

Li Ping'an smiled, "You don't have to go through so much trouble." ”

Speaking of this, Li Ping'an suddenly remembered something.

"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor is seeking the elixir of immortality all over the world, and even did not hesitate to send a fleet overseas, but is there such a thing?"

"This ......"

The two looked embarrassed.

"If this is true, how can the gentleman know?"

"Coincidentally, I met Da'an's fleet at sea and got acquainted with Da'an's official Zhong Guotao Zhong.

Counting the time, he should also return from the sea, I wonder how Lord Zhong is now? ”

As soon as these words came out, the two were even more embarrassed.

The prison supervisor coughed lightly: "Zhong Guotao is not doing well, he was removed by His Majesty, and he is now in prison." ”

Li Ping'an nodded thoughtfully, "Since ancient times, people have been reluctant to face aging and death.

In particular, the ancient emperors who were at the height of the temple began with historical records.

Every emperor is looking for a way to live forever, and in the final analysis, he still does not give up the power, country and wealth he has. ”

He paused, then continued.

I bother you to bring a message to His Majesty the Emperor for me. ”

"Sir, please."

Li Ping'an slowly spoke: "The reason why heaven and earth can last for a long time.

Because it is not self-generated, it can live forever.

It is the saint who retreats from his body and precedes his body, and exists outside his body.

Not with its selflessness? Therefore, it can become its own selfishness. ”

The two of them were silent, chewing on the meaning of these words.

It is precisely because of the selflessness of the saint that he has fulfilled himself.

To put it bluntly, neither heaven nor earth, nor saints, are self-generated, so they can live forever.

Heaven and earth do not plunder all things to grow themselves, nor do saints plunder people to grow themselves.

And it is precisely because of selflessness that you can make yourself long.

Compared with the ethereal elixir, the golden body cast by the people's hearts is .......

Both the supervisor and the worshipper were learned people, and after a little thought, they understood the meaning of these words.

The two of them bowed their hands to Li Ping'an together, "I'll wait for the teaching, so I'll leave." ”

"No."

Li Ping'an didn't really expect that one or two sentences would make the emperor change his mind.

It's better to just say it than not to say it.

Say 10,000 sentences, if there is one sentence that is used.

These 10,000 sentences, even if they are not said in vain.

...........

Daan, Kyoto.

Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.

The old emperor sat in front of the mirror, and in the mirror he was full of black and bright hair.

The face is also ruddy and shiny because of the assistance of the elixir, and the skin is firm.

I don't look old at all.

But he knew very well in his heart that he would not live long.

looks glamorous on the outside, and you can still deceive yourself in the past.

But as time passed, I had to face this fact.

With the help of the refined elixir, he had extended his lifespan by several decades.

But this is already the limit of the human body, and no matter what pills you take, it will not help.

I thought of sending people to the Quartet to seek the Immortal Pill, but I also got the support of the Great Sui, and I was able to gain something.

The result was unsatisfactory, and the emperor was so angry that he directly put Zhong Guotao, who was the leader, into prison.

A short time later, an old eunuch walked in.

"Master, the two adults are back."

"Got it, let them in."

Soon, the supervisor entered the study with the worship.

The two bowed slightly, which was counted as a salute.

The emperor also said a few polite words.

The two are different from officials, and in essence, they and Daan are just a cooperative relationship.

In fact, the emperor's grandfather in front of him was raised by the two of them.

"Thankfully, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, Yanzhou has generally stabilized.

The rest of the monks have also left the boundary of Yanzhou one after another, and Mr. Li has temporarily settled in Yanzhou. ”

"How? He would like to come to Beijing. ”

"Mr. Li doesn't have this idea for the time being, and asks me to bring a message to Your Majesty."

Jian Zheng handed Li Ping'an's words to the emperor intact.

The Emperor frowned and pondered for a moment, then sighed.

"How can a cultivator like Mr. Li understand the sorrow of a widow......

He closed his eyes slightly, then opened them suddenly.

"Mr. Li and Zhong Guotao met?"

"Listen to the tone, the relationship between the two sides is not bad." The offering added.

..........

Northern Military Prison.

Zhong Guotao was dressed in prison clothes and sat in his cell reading a book.

Although he was wearing prison clothes, he looked good in spirit.

It can be seen that he is not so miserable and desolate in prison.

This kind of official who is guilty for a moment and is not a felony.

If you go to prison, you will generally get preferential treatment.

The jailer has his own set of rules for survival.

"Chief Gift."

This means that the jailer must not insult or beat the guilty officer, but must also be respectful.

Because you don't know when people will be in power.

Even if it is unpopular, none of the friends, relatives and old friends in the court can afford to provoke any of them.

"Lady Zhong is here for dinner."

"Thank you."

Zhong Guotao thanked him, looked at the food, and couldn't help but think of his wife and children at home.

After being away from home for many years, his parents died.

Only his wife and children were left, and he finally came back, but he never wanted to end up like this.

is not dead, I am afraid that I don't know how many years I will be locked up.

I sighed deeply at the thought of this.

"Lord Zhong!"

At this time, the officials who guarded the jailers came running in a hurry.

"Lord Zhong, good news! Good news! ”
