"The Great Butler. The man left the bamboo hut, went around a few roads, and at last when it was completely dark, he came to a carriage, and he bowed down and said, "Three hundred taels and that thing have been handed over to him." The carriage replied faintly. "Actually......" Jia Ding hesitated: "He is just a weak scholar, and now he is still alone, why bother, it is better to ...... him"

This Ding is only half spoken, but the meaning is already extremely obvious. "Is this something you can dictate? The next person is the next person, don't think too much. There was a low shout from the carriage, and he said: "If he dies, the Yu family can just refuse the son's request for marriage in the name of filial piety." The family hurriedly bowed his head, not daring to say more. It's just that he has more doubts and fears in his heart.

In just a few years, the Yu family has changed from a high-ranking family at sunset to a well-known family in Suzhou Prefecture, which can almost be compared with the Zhu family. Today, it is all thanks to the Miss Yu family who was appreciated by the nobles in the capital, Zhu Gongzi actually forced this Miss Yu to marry, isn't he afraid that after she returns from the capital, she will take revenge on the Zhu family?

Although he is just a subordinate, but only this Ding can figure it out, just by virtue of Miss Yu's reputation in the capital, this Yu family can develop into a large family comparable to the Zhu family, it is conceivable that Miss Yu's status in the capital must be extraordinary, and the noble person who promoted Miss Yu must not be a simple person. If you really want to talk about it, how can Miss Yu be coveted by the Zhu family?

But he didn't dare to say it. "It's been a long time to come out, don't be discovered, go back to Yu's house quickly." The voice of the butler came from the carriage. As if he was amnesty, he left in a hurry. The butler came out of the carriage and waved the coachman in, driving the carriage himself.

"With that character to escort you, no matter how noble Miss Yu is, my Zhu family is not afraid. It's this Li Jialangjun, alas, if this matter wasn't related to him, killing him would be considered a hundred. The chief butler was so preoccupied that he was always a little uneasy, and he drove the carriage and gradually disappeared into the night. ... It was already night, Li Qingxuan lit these two candles, and the room was brighter.

The old Taoist priest Zhang Zhicheng leaned on the head of the bed, looked at Li Qingxuan and said, "Apprentice, you have just stepped into the realm of the grandmaster recently, right?" Li Qingxuan said suddenly: "Master, how can you see it?" "The qi of your body is majestic, the purple qi comes from the east, others can't see it, and as a teacher, you can't see that you have reached the peak of martial arts from home." The old Taoist priest Zhang Zhicheng leaned on the head of the bed and commented a lot.

"Master, your injuries are too serious to be cured? Tomorrow I will go to Jiankang City and ask the famous doctor Zhang Shisan to come and treat you. "Apprentice, the medical skills of the teacher are much higher than Zhang Shisan, and he can't cure the teacher's injury, and my injury is difficult to save even if it is a god." Zhang Laodao said indifferently, "Apprentice, why did you step into the realm of the Grandmaster so quickly?"

Li Qingxuan took out the true chapter of Kendo Wu Zhen and Jin Dan from his arms and handed them to Zhang Laodao, Zhang Laodao's eyes lit up after taking the two things, the old Taoist priest looked at it quietly for a while, and then put down the book, closed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Disciple, you ...... Would you like to cultivate?"

Zhang Laodao sighed, as if there were a bit of vicissitudes, and he said in a low voice: "I know that you have an indifferent and peaceful temperament, and you like to be quiet, which is just in line with my cultivation and Dharma temperament, and you must be able to practice quietly." ”

When Li Qingxuan heard this, he was stunned.

Zhang Laodao stood up, sat on the bed, looked at Li Qingxuan, and his words were quite weak. But as soon as he got up, the original injury was difficult to suppress, and a large amount of blood spilled out, and his clothes were dripping blood. Li Qingxuan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and said, "Master, be careful." ”

Zhang Laodao was extremely seriously injured, and for ordinary people, it was already a mortal injury. But this old Taoist priest has a miraculous state and can not die, but he can't move, and once he touches the injury, it will inevitably deteriorate.

Zhang Laodao only wiped his hand, and the blood in his chest and abdomen stopped, but his face became more and more gray. After a moment of silence, Zhang Laodao asked, "Have you read all the classics here?" Li Qingxuan nodded slightly, and said, "Master, I have read most of them, and although I haven't finished reading a few books, I have also read them." ”

Zhang Laodao looked at him and asked, "Cultivators, what are you seeking, do you know?" Li Qingxuan had read a lot of Taoist books, nodded and said, "Cultivate the Great Dao and be able to feather and soar." "Exactly. Zhang Laodao said: "Those who have become immortals will live forever and be immortal, you ...... Do you know immortality?"

Li Qingxuan thought that all of them were vain things, but when he remembered that his master and his old man had been able to survive such a serious injury, he suddenly felt that such strange things might not be vain fantasies.

He was naturally very interested in cultivating immortals, but somehow, Zhang Laodao's eyes were blazing, as if he wanted to see him through, which was really unsettling. "When you attain immortality, you have everything. Zhang Laodao's words seemed to be enlightened. Li Qingxuan was slightly shocked. The word immortality has been passed down throughout the ages, and it is repeatedly mentioned in Taoist books.

But he always had some doubts when he flipped through the Taoist books, perhaps because he was too leisurely, so he thought too much. He always thinks of the words of that Fifth Master Liu, and often thinks about Fifth Master Liu's words. Liu Wuye said, what is the use of people in the world wanting this immortality? This sentence made Li Qingxuan think deeply in his spare time.

Ordinary people are constantly working hard, and they all say that they work at sunrise and rest at sunset, but in fact, they are working before the sun rises, and the sun does not stop before they set. Day after day, it's boring. Those who have free time are always bored, so they have to find some fun, such as gambling, drinking, and other things that prostitutes have fun, so as to pass the time and wait for the end of life.

Who would give up their lives, not only the ordinary who toiled incessantly, but also the many lonely beggars, even though they did not seem to have the slightest pleasure in living in the world. To be alive, it seems that there is no pleasure in it, but no one wants to die. In order to seek immortality and immortality, the emperor and the Son of Heaven did not hesitate to exhaust the national and financial resources, just to live with heaven and earth! They all want to live forever.

Although they are given infinite lives, they are still working, they still can't feel the pleasures, they are still just passing the time, but the instinct of life still makes people yearn for immortality and fear death. It is said that Liu Wuye did not say this, but Liu Wuye lost confidence because of these words, and he lived in decadence for many years, and he was very disheartened.

Some people rumored that Liu Wuye lost the debate with the masters of Luoyang, the eastern capital, so he felt that life was boring, but the most speculation was that he was evil. At this time, Zhang Laodao's words were like a slap in the face. Immortality, there is everything. There is joy in life, and the word immortality gives endless time to sense infinite fun.

"I'm afraid I'll get tired of having such a quiet day after a long time, and it's enough for decades to be so light. If you live so plainly for thousands of years, it must be extremely boring. "But everyone wants to live forever, even if they don't know what it's for, what the fun is, but who wants to die if they can live for a long time?"

"It turns out that immortality has everything. "If you are tired of living idle days, you can go to live a bloody life. If you are irritable and have a boiling day, you can live a dull life. If you have a long life, you will be able to try any different life, everything in the world, and you will have hope.

Immortality encompasses all the desires of the world. With an immortal lifespan, you can realize your heart's thoughts one by one. But in this world, who can live forever? Li Qingxuan was silent for a moment and asked, "Can Master live forever?"

How can I, a disciple, still expose the shortcomings of the old way? This character is really the same as always, Zhang Laodao couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and finally lowered his head and said quite ashamedly: "I have lived for the teacher for 98 years, and I have not touched the word immortality." "It is said that life is 100 years old, but life is rare for 70 years, and those who can live more than 70 years old are all long-lived, and there are very few. Those who can be nearly 100 years old are even more unique in 10,000, and they are all immortal deeds that people talk about in the world.

It was the first time Li Qingxuan learned of Master's age, and he pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Master... How long can you last with this injury?" Zhang Laodao immediately froze, looked at Li Qingxuan, and there was a little shame in his eyes, thinking that I had to take him as an apprentice in the first place, don't be angry, don't be angry.

Zhang Laodao gritted his teeth and said word by word: "If it weren't for the teacher suffering such a serious injury, the teacher would have lived for more than ten or twenty years, this is the Tao practiced for the teacher, so that I can maintain health and longevity, avoid death and prolong life." Li Qingxuan sighed secretly and said in his heart: "In this way, although there is a way to prolong life, you still can't live forever?"

Zhang Laodao has nearly 100 years of experience, how can he not see the thoughts of his apprentice, he sighed abruptly, and said in a low voice: "For the teacher, he washed his muscles and cut the marrow in his infancy, cultivated the Tao since childhood, and cultivated his true qi at the age of thirty-three. After ten years of meditation, the true qi accumulated 12 inches high at the ancestral aperture of the eyebrows, and there was no inch of progress from then on. ”

"After a few years, the teacher still stopped here, so he was surprised by the Taoist records, and also guessed whether the road of cultivating immortals and cultivating the Tao had come to an end?" "However, for the teacher to study the Taoist books and classics for many years, then the refining and refining of qi, refining gas and turning gods, refining gods and voids, and there are rumors and terms such as the intersection of dragons and tigers, Jindan Avenue, and true immortals. ”

"Throughout the ages, the annotations of all things in the Taoist books are all made up by the predecessors, and they are made out of nothing? The classics that have been handed down for thousands of years are all false?" "If you don't believe in the teacher, cultivating immortals and cultivating the Tao must be more than this step, and there must be a mysterious realm on it." "Even if this is the case, the cultivation of immortals has reached the end, but I have already cultivated to such a point, do I really want to stop here?

"Even if the road ahead is just apocryphal and the road has come to an end, at least I have to pave a way for my own family. Zhang Laodao said slowly, his tone calm. Li Qingxuan was quite shocked when he heard it, he had also read a lot of Taoist books, but he didn't know how to get started, and he never thought it was false. At this time, the master was able to have the ability to release true qi and isolate the rain and fog, which was equivalent to the immortal art passed down by the world.

Li Qingxuan didn't know what kind of mystery there was in it, but the story of the old master's immortal cultivation and visit was fascinating. "Since that year, I have walked the world, and this Huaishui, which divides the Tang Empire into north and south, I don't know how many times I have crossed, but where there is a legend of the gods, I will definitely go to the teacher. After more than ten years, he traveled all over the Tang Empire, and reached the Bohai Kingdom and the Southern Zhao Kingdom. ”

Zhang Laodao sighed softly and said in a low voice: "During the period, I don't know how many times I have experienced life and death, in the deserted places, under the cold ice caves, and in the bustling towns, I have all explored, but I have never found any immortals, and the cultivation is the highest, and there are only cultivators like me, who have released their true qi." ”

Li Qingxuan sighed secretly, thinking to himself, maybe cultivating immortals and cultivating the Tao is already vain, but at the point where Master, you can release your true qi and isolate a piece of things, which is equivalent to the magic power of the immortal law. The road ahead may indeed be at an end. Li Qingxuan sighed and did not say anything.
