Zhao Ran had communicated with Dongfang Li a few days ago, and the emperor might be practicing. In fact, it's normal to think about it, since the emperor wants to restore his authority, how can he do it without practicing?

I only listened to Dongfang Li continue: "The reason why I cling to Xiu'an is because Xiu'an may be able to directly prove this. Both Wu Tianshi and Li Tianshi had seen the emperor, but they did not notice anything unusual about him. Both Heavenly Masters suspected that the Emperor was practicing the Red Lead Method in the Yin-Yang Convergence Technique. ”

"I see......"

Yin-Yang Convergence is the general name of the Technique in the Room, which was originally a commonly used cultivation method among the two cultivators, and there is a lot of controversy in the Daomen. Some of the strictest pure monks strongly oppose this kind of Taoism, the so-called "Great Dao is pure and empty, and there is nothing to do", but in fact, there are many examples of how the practice of Aiki between two monks can promote the common improvement of cultivation.

There are many types of authentic Aiki, including the Intersection Yuan True Method, the Qiankun Gutian Method, the Joyful Qi Opening Method, and so on. But there will be people who want to rush for quick success and quick profit, and the same is true for the art in the room, during the Wei and Jin dynasties, there were many demons who took the evil path to tamper with the exercises, and created a lot of inferior Aikijutsu, such as the lead mining method.

Yin mining yang for "shun mining white lead", yang mining yin for "reverse mining red lead", no matter what kind of mining method, are one-way collection, no communication and no counter-compensation, damage others and patent themselves, in the short term, it seems to be very fast, in the long run, it will damage the way of heaven and cause and effect, and it will be punished by heaven when it ascends to cross the catastrophe. Therefore, after the Daomen won the Central Plains, this radical Aiki method gradually disappeared.

Whether it is mining white lead or red lead, there is a very prominent feature in it, which plays a very subtle role in covering up the cultivation, almost imperceptible, so Wu Tianshi and Li Tianshi both suspect that the existence of Xiu'an is to allow the emperor to mine and refine red lead, so as to cover up the fact of his cultivation.

The Daomen did not allow the emperor to practice, and if the speculation can be confirmed, this is the key to preventing the further expansion of the imperial power.

Since he said this, Zhao Ran also informed Dongfang Li of other news he had heard from King Yu's Mansion by the way, including Feng Bao's suspicion that there were people in the palace who were cultivating, including rumors that King Jing might be bone-setting, and so on.

After exchanging information with Dongfang Li, Zhao Ran spent half a day sorting out his thoughts, and then flew to Li Dayin: "When can I visit Yuanfu Palace?"

......

This is the second time Zhao Ran has come to Yuanfu Palace, when he came, his identity was still an inquirement, and now when he comes again, he is already a grand visitor.

The carriage drove up the mountain road of the Purple Mountain, turned two corners, and a palace with red walls and green tiles appeared in front of him, which was the Yuanfu Palace, which was the three palaces. In the past, there were Shao Yuanjie, Tao Zhongwen, and now Chen Shandao. As a suitable place to deal with all the things in the upper three palaces, it is actually the center of cultivation affairs in the capital and Yingtianfu, and it has always been one of the busiest places.

Outside the palace gate, early in the morning, there are many monks and officials of Chaotian Palace, Lingji Palace, and Manifestation Palace, and even many Taoist priests and scattered cultivators from the surrounding pavilions are waiting here, ready to ask for instructions, report, and declare to Yuanfu Palace as usual. After waiting for a long time, the crowd gradually gathered, and formed a long queue of nearly 100 people according to custom.

While there was a lot of discussion, I saw the side door of Yuanfu Palace open, and the waiting crowd began to dress up and wait for the summons. But he saw more than a dozen Yuanfu Palace vulgar people hurriedly come out, drove the waiting queue outward ten zhang away, and cleared the position in front of the palace gate.

Is this a big man visiting Yuanfu Palace? Everyone is talking and speculating.

Sure enough, eight Taoist priests came out one after another, these were not vulgar Taoists, but serious monks of Yuanfu Palace, or Li Dayin's junior disciples, or his disciples. In the creaking sound of pushing the door, the main gate of Yuanfu Palace slowly opened!

This is a little surprising, Yuanfu Palace opened the main gate to welcome guests, I am afraid that I have not heard of it for several years.

I saw Li Dayin, the palace envoy of Yuanfu Palace, come to the door, put on a whole robe, and looked forward to the mountain road. You Li Dayin went out to greet him, this is the guest of Heavenly Master Chen Shandao!

Not long after, a carriage drove up at the bend of the mountain road, the car stopped steadily in front of the gate, the curtain opened, and a Taoist priest walked down, not too old, and looked ordinary, nothing surprising, and somehow got such a grand courtesy from Yuanfu Palace.

The Taoist priest turned his head and glanced at the crowd waiting here, and someone immediately recognized him.

"This seems to be a member of the staff of the envoy of the Imperial Court. ”

"The opening of the Li Yuan envoy is open? Who are you recruiting? I'm going to sign up too!"

"Don't you know, brother? I have seen him accompany him on the field many times, and the Li Yuan envoy relied on him very much, and almost obeyed his words. ”

"Then it's definitely not a guest of the scene, I'm afraid it's a first-class figure in the military division......"

"You are all nonsense, what kind of military master is the Curtain Guest? This is the senior brother's junior brother, called Zhao Zhiran!"

"I see, no wonder it's ......"

"At first glance, it was inconspicuous, but when I looked at it again, I felt a sense of self-glory, worthy of the authentic ...... Xuanmen"

"Which senior brother are you talking about?"

"Daoist friends don't even know? How lonely and unheard of this is! Don't you never read books or read notes? Senior brother, try the sword in the three provinces and the four refiners!"

"Ah, I know, the senior brother's junior brother must be extraordinary, no wonder Yuanfu Palace is so grand......"

"Hmph, it's just the light of the sect, if I also have such a senior brother, I don't necessarily have to be worse than him. ”

"Don't pantothenic acid, it's good for people to worship their teachers, this is a chance, what's not to be convinced? In addition to having a senior brother, he also has a senior brother who is Kawagami. Let's be pragmatic and think about how to find opportunities to make friends. ”

"Kawakami, is the editor-in-chief of "Junshan Notes"?"

"Could it be that there is a second editor-in-chief?"

"It's awe-inspiring!"

Zhao Ran, who sparked discussions, didn't expect it to be such a battle, and said to Li Dayin: "Li Vice-Yin is roasting me on the fire." ”

Li Dayin smiled and said: "As a talent, it is enough to be worthy, my teacher is waiting inside, please." ”

In the high Zichen Palace, Zhao Ran climbed the steps, entered the main hall, and saw the Heavenly Master Chen Shandao sitting on the high platform, and the Heavenly Master Chen stretched out his hand to ask: "Please sit down." ”

Zhao Ran went up the sixth step, looked at the statues of the six imperial gods enshrined directly above, and the position of the five elders, hugged his fists, bowed three times, and bowed to Chen Tianshi, who was sitting obliquely, and hugged his fists, sitting at the lower place opposite him, Li Dayin stood behind Chen Tianshi to accompany him.

"Seven years ago I was also here, the first time I saw Zhiran, although you and I have different opinions, but Zhiran's talent, to the Daomen, to the Ming Dynasty, left a deep impression on me, at that time I asked Da Yin, let him invite you to stay for a day, want to meet you again, talk, but unfortunately Zhiran was in a hurry, and went to the southwest to serve Zhan Xuanci, this side dragged on to today seven years later. ”

Zhao Ran sat on the futon and bowed slightly: "It is my luck to be valued by Master Chen. ”
