Chapter 27 Where is the Immortal?

"Girl, we don't seem to know each other."

Gu Dan was a little overwhelmed.

In this era, there was no strict separation between men and women, and people would not think it was indecent to just see each other's feet, but men and women were still relatively conservative.

It's really rare to see someone coming up to you with such enthusiasm.

At this moment, Gu Dan more or less understood Pan An.

"Wouldn't it be possible to get to know each other if we chat a little more? My name is Caiwei, Jiang Caiwei! Okay, now we know each other. How old are you this year? Are you engaged? What kind of girls do you like?"

Jiang Caiwei's eyes flickered and she put her slender white hands close to her cheeks. She looked shy and timid, but in fact she was extremely hot and unreasonably proactive.

"I know a young man who is not much worse looking than me. I can introduce him to you later." After a moment's silence, Gu Dan said.

"Why do you want to introduce someone else? Aren't you good enough? Or am I not good enough?"

Jiang Caiwei lifted the hem of her skirt and turned gently to show off her beautiful figure - this was an extremely bold act, and even the two maids behind her opened their mouths in surprise.

She took two steps forward, and the wind with the scent of incense blew against her face, gently and softly enveloping the tip of her nose. Her clear almond eyes stared at Gu Dan without blinking, "Why are you stepping back? Am I scary?"

Just when Gu Dan was completely unable to cope, Qingpingzi finally arrived.

"Qingpingzi!"

For a moment, Gu Dan felt that Qingpingzi was much more pleasing to the eye. This girl was really too enthusiastic and most people could not resist her.

"My friend, we meet again."

Qingpingzi walked over with a smile, glanced at the girls surrounding him, and said teasingly: "I didn't disturb you, did I?"

"No, no! This is not the place to talk. Let's talk somewhere else?" Gu Dan found his savior and said immediately.

"good."

Qingpingzi nodded slightly and took Gu Dan directly to a side hall.

After the two left, Jiang Caiwei stood there, her eyebrows slightly frowned, her silver teeth lightly bitten, and she waved her little fist in indignation.

"Miss, you scared that gentleman away!"

The little maid who was combing her temples covered her mouth and laughed.

"Huh, what do you know?"

Jiang Caiwei put her hands on her hips and said in a condescending manner, "When mother fell in love with father, he was unwilling. It was mother who secretly found someone to beat him up, and then took care of him personally, and finally they got married and had me! Now that I'm grown up, mother just wants to marry me off quickly. I don't like those ugly guys! Even if you want to marry me, you have to be acceptable!"

Changing the subject, Jiang Caiwei said, "Besides, if I marry someone pretty, you can become my maids in the future! Together, we can chase away all the vixens out there!"

"Miss!"

The two maids blushed and hurried forward, reaching out to cover Jiang Caiwei's mouth.

Although the young lady was a bit unruly on weekdays, if such outrageous words were heard by the lady, she would definitely scold her again.

"My mother was the father I met during the spring outing. What can she do that I can't? Ugh, let me go!"

"My friend, you have come to Qingfeng Temple, but do you need help?"

In a quiet side hall, Qing Pingzi sat on a cushion, opposite Gu Dan. His elegant and handsome face had a pair of eyes as deep as the sea, as if they could see through people's hearts. Without any greetings, he went straight to the point.

"There is one thing indeed."

At that moment, Gu Dan did not hesitate and directly told the story of the third prince.

He and Qingpingzi had no friendship, so it was already a great honor for the other party to be willing to see him. It would be unkind to ask directly and then be mysterious at this time.

"I am sorry for your loss."

After listening silently, Qingpingzi sighed slightly, then said: "This matter is nothing. The world is full of hardships and accidents happen from time to time. The current emperor seeks immortality because he knows that the world is impermanent and wants to find a way to transcend it."

"People are kind-hearted. After all, the Third Prince is the emperor's biological son. As for whether the Imperial Hospital did anything wrong, it only takes a moment of thought. I dare not wait patiently, so I have to seek help from the Taoist priest." Gu Dan said earnestly.

"Whatever."

After thinking for a moment, Qingpingzi nodded gently, "I can go to the palace."

"Thank you, Taoist Priest."

Gu Dan was not too happy, and asked instead: "Master, is there anything I can help you with?"

When you ask for help from someone, you have to owe them a favor.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Gu Dan doesn't like to owe others.

"My friend is on guard."

Qing Pingzi shook his head. "If there is something that needs your help, the matter of the Imperial Hospital will probably be the responsibility of Qingfeng Temple."

"Master, you have misunderstood." Gu Dan naturally denied it.

"No, most people think that the current emperor doesn't care about state affairs, but seeks immortality and Taoism. It's us Taoist priests who are causing trouble. We are deceiving our superiors and hiding the truth from our subordinates, causing great harm to the country and the people. So if anything bad happens, it's always right to put the blame on me first."

Qing Pingzi sat upright on the futon, "Little do we know! Human power is limited. Just like ten years ago, the emperor was suffering from a cold, and medicine was almost useless. He could not get up from the bed for several days, and he could not drink a drop of water. At that time, I don't know how many loyal ministers and good generals wrote to request the establishment of the position of the crown prince. What was his heart like?

After I cured His Majesty, he became very interested in seeking immortality. He has been in charge of a country for his entire life. When he is suffering from illness, what is the difference between him and ordinary people? Life and death are not in our control! "

It was the first time that Gu Dan heard the secret of Emperor Zong Ming's seeking for immortality. He looked surprised, but actually felt nothing in his heart.

The grievances that Qingpingzi talked about were not the result of the emperor's favor? To judge a person, we should not rely solely on what he said, but on what he did.

Even if Qingpingzi was a pure white lotus as he told him, the words Moqiu once gave him still applied.

When a tiger or rhinoceros escapes from its cage, or a tortoise or jade is destroyed in its box, whose fault is it? The keeper cannot shirk his responsibility! The dog emperor occupies the toilet but does not shit, while Qingpingzi has truly influenced the policy of a country - it cannot be said that it is his due, but he deserves it.

It's just asking for help now, otherwise I would have given him a few words.

"The immortal way values ​​life, and one is free from the sufferings of the mundane world, and is less subject to the hatreds of the seven emotions and six desires. Traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, eating clouds and drinking dew and sleeping in the mountains, how happy is that? Ordinary people cannot find it, and they just think that we are eloquent and deceived the emperor. Since you have swallowed the elixir of the ancient sage and woke up, you can feel some of the mysteries in it. Is what I said false?"

Qingpingzi seemed to be revealing his true feelings, his expression became quite excited, and his voice became more and more passionate.

If that pill hadn't cost Gu Dan forty-three years of his life, he would have really believed it.

"It is true as the Taoist priest said, but I wonder where the immortals are? The current emperor has been seeking the Tao for ten years and has not found anything. Even if we ordinary people want to achieve something, what can we do?"

Gu Dan asked directly.
