Chapter 223: Two Thousand Years of Life

After staying in the Imperial Hospital for a while and having a meal with Xu Zhian, Gu Dan returned to his own courtyard with a few people.

Fortunately, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, who had swept through the imperial capital, did not visit the Gu family courtyard.

It’s not necessarily because of Gu Dan’s reputation, because he was not well-known before. It is more likely that the reason why this place is intact is because Mo Qiu has stayed here for many years.

The White Lotus Sect leader did not want to provoke another master, so it was only natural for him to restrain his subordinates a little.

Pushing open the tightly closed door of the courtyard, the scene inside the courtyard came into view.

It was winter at this time, but the Gu family's courtyard did not look bleak at all. Various flowers were in full bloom. Among them, the best-growing and most eye-catching one was the scorching sun chrysanthemum that had been destroyed by Cang.

The sun chrysanthemum usually blooms in the hot summer. It is bright red like fire and crystal like glass. When it is in full bloom, it is like the scorching sun falling to the earth, and the faint fragrance fills the garden.

"Hey, why is this sunflower still blooming?"

Xiaoying came forward with some curiosity and sniffed gently. The unique fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose, making her feel relaxed and happy.

Perhaps it was Gu Dan's Qingmu Huasheng Jue's internal energy that brought something different to it, stimulated its own potential, and displayed a different charm.

There was not much lingering about the beautiful scenery in the courtyard. Gu Dan prepared Xu Zhian's room and said, "Uncle Xu, don't go to the Imperial Hospital anymore. Just stay here with me. If you need anything, just let me know and I will definitely help you. When you have nothing to do on weekdays, take care of Cang and Xiaoying. Xiaoying is interested in medicine now. If you don't teach her now, she might not be interested tomorrow."

The only elder who can be recognized by Gu Dan is Andy Hui.

Perhaps because Andy Hui had a close friendship with another imperial physician, Gu, when Dr. Gu woke up, Andy Hui took good care of him.

After living together for so many years, they have become like family members. Gu Dan has often asked Andy Hui for help, and naturally a room was reserved for him in the yard.

But before, Andy Hui refused to move in. There were only young people here, how could it be as happy as living in the Imperial Hospital? So many friends had spent most of their lives here, and the old people were nostalgic, only coming to visit occasionally and teach Gu Dan a lesson.

But after the Imperial Capital was bullied by the White Lotus Sect Leader, many people from the Imperial Hospital fled, and it was no longer appropriate for them to stay there.

What's more, the internal energy of Qingmu Huasheng Jue is not omnipotent. An old man over seventy years old really needs someone to take care of him.

"Okay, okay, don't bother talking to me anymore. Just go and do your thing. Do I still need you to take care of me?"

Andy Hui waved his hands impatiently.

Seven-year-old Cang, who had been neglected for a long time, grabbed his sleeve and asked for a hug.

Gu Dan's eyes became dangerous and he secretly waved his fist at Cang.

On the contrary, Andy Hui didn't care. He squatted down and picked up Cang directly, and turned him around twice. His face became much rosier, "Why did Cang lose weight?"

"Master doesn't care about me when he goes out!"

Now that he had a backer, Cang immediately started to complain, his main point being that he turned his back on his master.

"Uncle Xu, don't spoil him too much. Children only remember food and not beatings. Don't let him do anything embarrassing again."

Gu Dan warned.

"Are you teaching me how to do things? Get out of the way!"

Andy Hui glared at him and scolded him.

Gu, who had subdued the theoretically strongest man in the world among the four countries but who was unwilling to reveal his name, could only step aside in disappointment.

Returning to his own cabin, Gu Dan took out his harvest.

White Lotus Visualization Diagram! One of the two things he had discovered so far that was directly related to the immortal way and still had power.

One of them is the bone from Dayong, which Qingpingzi is studying.

However, this visualization diagram requires his own practice to remove the spiritual imprint.

According to Qingpingzi, there is no hidden danger when the mental imprint does not occur, but once it is violated, the soul will suffer severe damage, and ordinary people cannot withstand it at all, and will die directly from the soul being torn apart.

When observing the inheritance of the White Lotus, the four words "Don't practice immortality" themselves carry a very strong spiritual imprint.

Wang Mang and Xu Wanrong were not strong enough to detect it, but Gu Dan could clearly feel the change in his divine consciousness.

Now that the external affairs have been dealt with, of course, we must first deal with our own hidden dangers. It is impossible to allow something that does not belong to us to live on our body forever. That would undoubtedly be like burying a time bomb, which Gu Dan cannot tolerate.

Spreading out the White Lotus Visualization Diagram, Gu Dan stared at it silently.

The White Lotus Visualization Picture was not very big. For some unknown reason, its material felt quite soft to the touch. The surroundings were a dull black, except for the thirty-six-petal lotus platform in the very center.

It is supreme, precious, gorgeous and beautiful, and most importantly, there is no one on the lotus platform, but it seems that all the power in the world is bred in it, making people want to throw themselves into it.

Because of his concern, he did not put his whole body and mind into the visualization the first time, in order to prevent possible accidents.

Even so, his mind slowly calmed down, and gradually he became free of all objects and self, forgetting all emotions and nature, his consciousness was empty, space disappeared, the scale of time became fast and slow, and the world became quiet.

Forgetting both myself and the world, only this is eternity.

In his spiritual world, there was a lotus slowly building up. At first it was just a phantom, so dreamy, like a so-called illusion.

As time passed, the lotus slowly solidified, but only one of the thirty-six petals opened.

Even one petal of the lotus seemed a little empty, so Gu Dan had to put his divine consciousness into it. With the surge of divine consciousness, the illusory lotus suddenly became full, and that petal also completely expanded.

An invisible aura of Tao swept through, and the mind became clear and clean, cleansing the body and constantly purifying itself.

Even Gu Dan, who was immersed in this cleansing, couldn't help but feel a little happy. With his spiritual thoughts surging, he kept stroking the lotus.

With his persistent efforts, the second lotus petal finally timidly opened up - this was already a bit strenuous for him! He had to continue adding weights, and the divine thoughts that were originally reserved for hidden dangers were also unknowingly invested in it.

The effect is also obvious. As all the divine thoughts are immersed in it, the second petal of the lotus opens completely, and another special Taoist aura passes through the mind.

His spirit is as vast as riding the wind in the sky, and no one knows where it will stop; it is as light as being independent of the world and ascending to heaven.

The ultimate enjoyment is more convincing than any temptation.

Gu Dan was completely immersed in the spiritual world.

Time passes slowly.

When Gu Dan woke up involuntarily, a sense of loss naturally rose from the bottom of his heart. He subconsciously wanted to grab the visualization picture, unwilling to give up such a wonderful experience.

But as his spirit completely returned, Gu Dan was suddenly stunned.

Damn it, he didn't think so at the beginning! Resisting the urge in his heart, he directly covered the visualization picture. Only then did Gu Dan realize that he was dizzy, his nose was a little wet, his mind was dizzy, and hot air was rolling, radiating from his head like a steamer.

He reached out and touched the tip of his nose, and bright blood fell on his fingers.

Taking another look at the sky outside, he realized that the time he had spent in visualization was not long, but the mental expenditure was extremely great!

The method of the immortal way, or in other words, this white lotus visualization diagram, is even more powerful than he thought! With his current strength, he can only stretch out two petals of the lotus. He doesn't know how much strength he needs to be able to visualize the thirty-six-petal lotus platform in his mind.

His own spiritual power had been almost exhausted, and when he tried to sense the spiritual imprint that had originally remained in him, it seemed to have indeed become a little bit fainter and insignificant.

With this level of mental exhaustion, it would be difficult to recover without resting for seven or eight days.

“As long as it works.”

Gu was worried but also relieved. Although the White Lotus Visualization Diagram was a little weird, it was undoubtedly much more approachable than the spiritual imprint that was directly imprinted in his soul.

Although the effect is not obvious enough, time is on his side. With persistent practice, he will be able to get rid of the stubborn disease sooner or later.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

With a direction, you will naturally be motivated.

It takes time to recover the divine consciousness, but people cannot sit idle.

Gu Dan did not forget where his greatest reliance came from, and while he was recovering his own energy, he did not delay in treating patients and saving lives.

Things are different now. He no longer needs to search the prisons one by one.

After saying hello to Andy Hui, he walked out of the courtyard alone and simply became a barefoot doctor. His main selling point was that if he couldn't cure the disease, he wouldn't charge any money, but if he did, it didn't matter how much he paid.

When seeing a patient, he would secretly inject a stream of Qingmu Huasheng Jue's internal energy into him. As long as the patient's internal organs were not completely damaged, the effect of Qingmu Huasheng Jue was amazing.

Of course, in order to conceal the fact that he was using this method to cure diseases and save lives, Gu Dan chose to quietly change his attire and disguise himself.

The method of disguise is the same one used by the thief king who once successfully sneaked into the palace and stayed in the harem for dozens of days. The main feature is concealment and difficulty in detection.

That was another old story that happened over a hundred years ago. This method of disguise was once sealed in the Sutra Library of Dayue, but now it has found its place.

His caution and prudence were not to guard against the present, but to guard against immortals who might be interested in all this in the future. One must always be on guard against others, as people are afraid of becoming famous just as pigs are afraid of becoming fat.

What if some immortal is really bored and hears about this and uses some method he doesn’t know to predict - wow, that person is still alive!

That was a lot of fun! Life became fulfilling again, and there was no need to fight with each other anymore.

In his spare time, Gu Dan changed his appearance and worked as a traveling doctor to treat patients. When his spirit recovered, he practiced the White Lotus Visualization Diagram silently. It seemed that everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

After practicing medicine for a long time, a legend about a miracle doctor began to spread in the imperial capital. It was said that the miracle doctor was a fairy from heaven who could cure people's illness with just a breath. It was really amazing! However, the miracle doctor not only did not value money, but also fame and fortune, and he refused to leave even his name.

At first, this legend, which was like a strange story, was only circulated in a small circle. But as time went on and more people were treated, it became more and more widely known.

When the cold winter passed and spring came and flowers bloomed, Wang Mang brought his people to the imperial capital and announced in the name of Mo Qiu and Mohism that Da Xia would be established. Everything became excited.

Even the miracle doctor was transformed into a saint because he was inspired by the virtues of Mo Qiu, the living saint. He transformed himself into an incarnation and came to the world to give alms to all living beings and cure their illnesses.

When Gu Dan heard this, he smiled.

He did not go to talk to Wang Mang again, but just watched everyone work hard in silence.

After all, what the world will become depends on more than just the efforts of one person.

Wang Mang, Qin Lisheng, Gong Shangguo, Xun Ke, and even Qingpingzi's two disciples, countless others were working hard to shine.

He could clear the big rocks in front of them, but they still had to walk the path on the ground themselves.

He has fulfilled his obligations.

There is no need for people to chant his name or sing his praises. It is enough for them to live their own lives well.

With the arrival of Wang Mang and others in the imperial capital, the news of the surrender of the Four-Nation Coalition Forces was undoubtedly confirmed, which gave a heavy shot in the arm to the former people of Dayue. The prestige of Moqiu and Mohist School, which was already at its peak, was further enhanced!

Because Wang Mang said it very clearly, it was precisely because of Mozi's own virtue and efforts that the coalition forces of the four countries, admiring his virtue, retreated in shame.

Don't ask if it's reasonable or not, just ask if the four-nation coalition has surrendered! The promised supplies from the four countries were also continuously sent to the Xia Dynasty. They arrived non-stop as soon as the cold winter ended, without any delay. Although the new country had not yet been truly established, countless people were already impatient.

Looking forward to a brand new life.

Of course, not everyone is so aware of the current situation.

Although the biggest rebels, the White Lotus Sect and the Huang Tian Army, have been defeated, there are still some daring people in other places who occupy a city or a pond and dare to declare themselves kings. They do not want to make any progress and want to divide the land and become a local emperor who only cares about enjoying himself.

For such people, Qin Lisheng will make them understand whether the "Mohist morality" in reality is solid or not.

The Grand Master is not someone who is easy to deal with.

And in this former land of Dayue, there is no longer any master who can oppose him.

Everything is going on the right track. Once the nine provinces are connected, the Xia Dynasty can be truly established.

The reason why it was not built at this time was simply because there were too many things to deal with in Yuzhou and there was no need to be so anxious - in fact, the more crucial thing was that Jiuzhou was vast, but Wang Mang did not have so many experts in managing the country and benefiting the people around him. He must first develop his own team instead of just changing the name but not the substance.

Talents need to be discovered and recruited slowly. This period of time is also a buffer. We should start by taking over a few states. If we can't even manage a few states, let alone the entire world.

Gu Dan never paid any attention to these things again.

He seemed to have forgotten all this and acted at his own pace.

When the hot summer breeze blew past, Gu Dan's eyes burst into intense joy.

"Two thousand years of life, I have finally saved enough!"
