Chapter 10 Pulling each other
More than four months have passed, and Gu Dan is no longer as ignorant as when he first arrived.
There is also a new assessment of the current power and status of alchemists.
The alchemist was so favored by Emperor Zong Ming that he even stayed away from court for ten years in order to seek immortality. He definitely had some ability.
Qingpingzi was the alchemist who cured Emperor Zongming of his cold and indirectly led him to seek immortality.
The emperor's trust and favor are the best capital.
Nowadays, Taoist temples are springing up everywhere, and countless people are willing to enter and burn incense. The alchemist in front of us should be the chief contributor.
The only time he met Qingpingzi was when he was forced to swallow the elixir given by Emperor Zongming in the Imperial Hospital and woke up.
The other party also specially left a copy of "Yinyuan Jing".
But the problem is that Gu Dan is not familiar with him at all, and they have no other intersection.
How did Qingpingzi find his old house? He even happened to come to his door and block him! For the past four months, he has been well-behaved.
Even when he went to the prison to treat prisoners, he used the excuse that he was promoted by Emperor Zong Ming and he did not dare to accept the reward for nothing, just to dilute the attention focused on him.
Unexpectedly, Qingpingzi came to the door as soon as I took action.
If you say this is a coincidence, Gu Dan would never believe it.
After a moment of silence, Gu Dan smiled warmly, "It's you! What a coincidence, we meet again?"
"What a coincidence."
Qingpingzi shook his head, "I had to ask around before I found you, my friend."
"oh?"
Gu Dan asked curiously, "I wonder what the chief wants to talk to me about?"
Qing Pingzi didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "My friend, you woke up after swallowing the elixir of the sage. Your body was nourished by the medicine, which shows that you have a connection with our sage. I just wonder if you have read the Yin Yuan Sutra that I left behind?"
"Yin Yuan Jing?"
Gu Dan pretended to think about it, and after thinking for a while, he clapped his hands, "I remember now! Are you talking about the parchment scroll? I'm so sorry, I didn't understand it."
Qingpingzi: “.”
The pair of eyes that had always seemed quite indifferent stared at Gu Dan without blinking, as if trying to see through the truth of what Gu Dan said.
Gu Dan looked back at him without hesitation, his eyes clear.
Unexpected, right? I really don’t understand!
Perhaps it was the sincerity in Gu Dan's eyes that touched Qing Pingzi. Qing Pingzi took a deep breath and said, "The classics of the ancient sages are indeed extraordinary and exquisite. It is normal that you have never been exposed to Taoism and have difficulty understanding it. It was I who was careless."
"To be honest, although the inner breath technique is mysterious, I have not even mastered the inner breath technique inherited from my family. Not only that, I have never successfully practiced the inner breath technique passed down in the homes of many imperial doctors."
Gu Dan sighed and began to pull: "After all, I am a mortal, and I have no chance to seek immortality or the Tao. I appreciate your kindness, Taoist priest. But since we are not destined to be together, I will not force it."
"My friend, you are wrong. Life is less than a hundred years long, and the opportunity is right in front of you, so you must try your best to grasp it. The elixirs of the ancients have infinite uses, but ordinary people cannot afford them. Since my friend was able to wake up after swallowing the elixir, it must be suitable for the sages' method." Qingpingzi shook his head.
"Oh? I just don't know what that elixir is? Why did it make you so interested?"
This time it was Gu Dan's turn to stare at Qingpingzi without blinking, trying to find some differences.
Qingpingzi thought for a moment and said seriously: "The elixir you took was obtained from the elixir furnace of the ancient sage. It is called 'Honglu Zaohua Pill' and has the miraculous effect of improving physical fitness. Many of the medicines required in it have been lost. Moreover, its medicinal power is too strong for ordinary people to bear."
Honglu Yuanhua Dan? The name is good, and seeing Qing Pingzi's relentless look, it is possible that it was indeed obtained from the Dan furnace of the ancient sage.
However, that crappy elixir must have been expired food from at least hundreds of years ago, and it might not even have been made!
Gu was worried and understood it very well. That thing had directly cost him 43 years of his life. He could forget anything but that pill.
Then he pretended to be helpless and said, "Improve my physical condition? Do you think my physical condition has improved?"
"My friend has not practiced martial arts, so he naturally doesn't know much. The strength of the blood in your body is far beyond that of people of your age. Although I can't see any other magical things, I dare not be sure, so I will give you the method of the sages." Qingpingzi said sincerely.
Gu Dan had clearly shown that he had no interest in seeking immortality, otherwise he would not have explained the efficacy of the medicine in such a comprehensive manner.
If he has nothing to ask for, then he can only take the initiative himself.
"Can the Yin Yuan Sutra really be used to cultivate immortality?" Gu became worried. Since Qing Pingzi could fool Emperor Zong Ming around, he might really know some mysterious and wonderful methods!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The Yinyuan Sutra is indeed obtained from the wonderful methods of the ancient sages, but the traces of immortals are vague and hard to find. How can I determine whether it is possible to practice immortal methods? You and I are both people who are trying to cross the mortal world, but the opportunity is fleeting." Qingpingzi smiled slightly.
I'm not afraid of you asking, I'm just afraid that you won't be tempted.
"Really? That's a shame."
Gu Dan sighed, "I am just an insignificant mortal. Even a great man like the Taoist priest has not been favored by the immortals. How can I dare to ask for the favor of the immortals? People will eventually die, and the chance of becoming an immortal is slim. As long as I can live my life in peace, it is better than anything else."
No matter how many sweet words you use, I only express one attitude.
I’m about to start!
Qing Pingzi's expression remained unchanged, but he changed the subject: "I have also heard about the misfortunes in your family. It is not wrong to want a peaceful life, but the world is full of ups and downs. You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must know how to protect yourself. Are you willing to enter Qingfeng Temple and learn the method of inner cultivation? I dare not talk about seeking immortality, but being healthy and healthy can prolong your life and is definitely not a vain thing."
Gu was worried and dignified.
This bastard definitely had his eyes on him. He not only tracked down his whereabouts, but even memorized his background.
After all, he just ate a pill from the alchemist. Why would he miss him so much? The Qingfeng Temple is now in a very high position. Although Qingpingzi looks amiable and easy to talk to, Emperor Zongming has spent much more time with him than all the officials.
To be fair, if he didn't have a way to achieve immortality, he would really be tempted.
Unfortunately, the alchemists are too powerful, and there are countless people watching them behind the scenes. If there is any chance, they will definitely retaliate in every possible way.
What does it matter if he is famous for a while? He will get what he needs by himself, it's just a matter of time.
"I am flattered by the Taoist's kindness!"
Gu Dan's face was moved, and he seemed to be struggling. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. There is a saying in my hometown, which goes, 'You can eat as much as you can.' Although the saying is simple, the truth is clear. Qingfeng Temple is well-known all over the world, and countless people want to enter but are unable to. The Taoist priest invited me so kindly that I was moved to tears.
But I only know a little bit about medicine, and I have no extravagant hope of seeking immortality. What I want to do most in this life is to be able to cure diseases and save lives. I dare not accept the kindness of the Taoist priest, but I can only appreciate it in my heart. "
