81 081 Gift
◎Immortal pills! The kind that can send you to heaven on the spot.◎
When Jia Jing entered the door
, he was wearing a Taoist robe. Although due to various reasons, he was not able to become a monk in Xuanzhen Temple as he wished, he lived there day and night for the past three or four years, eating, living, sitting and sitting with the Taoists inside, and never communicating with people outside while seeking the Tao. In fact, it was not much different from becoming a real monk.
Anyway, the so-called "essence of Taoism" theory advocated by the master of Xuanzhen Temple, which he believed in, also advocated concepts such as "inaction", "tranquility" and "following nature", which just happened to be the right thing to do to abandon these worldly formalities and fussiness.
The matter of cultivating Taoism is about the heart, not the form.
No matter what form you take, as long as you have a heart that is committed to practicing Taoism, it is not that important whether you become a monk or not.
Jia Jing accepted this theory very well, and was particularly fooled by the master of Xuanzhen Temple. Therefore, after a few years, although he did not become a monk, he successfully lived a happy life of self-funded cultivation.
In short, although he ate and lived in Xuanzhen Temple, it seemed that he was "indifferent to the world" and "living a peaceful life", but he had to pay for food, clothing, accommodation, chanting, burning incense, and most importantly, refining elixirs.
Immortals also need money, not to mention that this is not an immortal at all.
Fortunately, Jia Jing certainly doesn't care about money, and Jia Zhen is the same.
Especially when Jia Jing asked for money, he would give it to him without hesitation, and he was afraid that it was not enough. He would give at least one dollar for every five cents he asked.
Speaking of which, this Master Zhen was also a rare person.
Although he always behaved very filially, and cried everywhere about his grandfather abandoning his family and son to become a monk, the one who was most happy about Jia Jing's willful departure from home and living in Xuanzhen Temple to "cultivate Taoism" was Jia Zhen.
The reason was simple: when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will claim to be the king.
With Jia Jing around, even if he was just "cultivating immortality" in the mansion, he was a threat to Jia Zhen - with his parents around, even the most jerk would be more restrained.
Besides, the Jia family has always had a glorious tradition of "a filial son is born under the stick". Even if Jia Jing has never laid a hand on Jia Zhen, Jia Zhen will instinctively fear him.
This is probably like being engraved in the genes of the male members of the Jia family, and it belongs to the category of instinctive reaction.
In short, fortunately, Jia Jing did not choose to "cultivate in seclusion" in Ningguo Mansion in the end - in this worldly place, where can there be a good pure land like Xuanzhen Temple?
Even if Jia Zhen pretended to be a filial son and ran to Xuanzhen Temple every day in the previous two or three years, wanting to invite Jia Jing to go home for "cultivation", and took the initiative to build a courtyard for Jia Jing to cultivate in the main courtyard of Ningguo Mansion, similar to a Taoist temple, Jia Jing did not do it.
In this way, Jia Zhen did his best to save face, and everyone thought that Jia Jing was stubborn and that his son Jia Zhen was no longer filial. He finally gave up temporarily with satisfaction, and from then on he was completely free.
Unexpectedly, less than two years after his freedom, Jia Jing actually came home on his own. Who would not be confused?
As for Jia She and Jia Zheng, they did not react much to this.
After all, they were relatives from different families, and they were just cousins. Not to mention that the feelings were not that deep, even if there were some feelings, they had faded a lot after so many years.
In particular, Jia Jing was born with a cold-hearted look, and even if you wanted to get close to him, you couldn't.
But they are cousins after all, which is better than most people, so Jia She and Jia Zheng also showed polite smiles on their faces.
As for Jia Rong, Jia Jing had left home to go to Xuanzhen Temple when he was still young. Although it cannot be said that there is no affection between the grandfather and grandson, the affection is indeed very weak.
However, Jia Rong has grown a lot in the past six months, and he seems to have some maturity and stability.
Although I don’t know if he is pretending, at least he can scare people when he stands there.
The main characters in front are like this, not to mention the little carrots who were sent to accompany Mo Yu.
Many people have never seen Jia Jing since they were born. He is the last patriarch of the Jia family and the heir of the Ningguo government. He is not someone that anyone can see.
Therefore, they just followed the crowd mechanically and lined up to greet them without any thoughts of their own.
Among this group of people, only Lin Ruhai and Mo Yu had the calmest expressions.
Lin Ruhai had seen all kinds of things in the world, so he was very stable no matter what kind of situation he encountered.
Mo Yu became "Bai Xiaosheng" passively because of the system 006 that constantly broadcast all kinds of gossip stories and information consultations to him, so he was really not surprised.
Besides, he himself is a soul from the mortal world, and he is really past the age where he gets startled when encountering something.
What a small matter.
He is just an old man with a weird temper, as if everyone has seen him before.
Mo Yu was originally very calm, at most he was a little curious about what this Master Jing, who was mentioned twice in the Jinling Twelve Judges' Verses and Verses, looked like.
But when he saw Jia Jing himself, he couldn't help but be a little shocked.
Well, it was a big shock.
Because this Master Jia Jing was not at all what he had imagined before. He
was neither vulgar nor weird, but had a kind of faint melancholy and a sense of transcendence.
Yes, what surprised Mo Yu was that this old man Jing was actually a handsome man.
Oh, to be more precise, he should be a handsome uncle.
According to some clues in the original novel, he should be around fifty years old this year. After all, his son Jia Zhen is already in his thirties, and his grandson Jia Rong is already fifteen or sixteen. No matter how young they are, they must be almost fifty years old.
But looking at his appearance, he doesn't look old at all.
I don't know if it's because he has always been a pure-hearted person, or if he really had some adventures in Xuanzhen Temple in recent years. In short, Jia Jing looks to be only in his early forties, with a good figure and good skin. Coupled with his outstanding appearance, he is really a handsome uncle who makes people shine.
Especially when he was wearing a Taoist robe and walking slowly, he looked like a fallen immortal. Everyone in the room subconsciously held their breath, fearing that if they breathed a little harder, they would startle him and blow him away. Although
Mo Yu did not exaggerate, he could not help but be distracted for a moment, thinking that this old man was really good-looking. No wonder he could give birth to a son like Jia Zhen and a grandson like Jia Rong.
Good looks can be inherited. It can be seen that the ancestors of Ningguogong have always had this gene for beauty. Even though the characters of descendants like Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are no longer good, and they are all playboys and losers, at least they are still good-looking.
Mo Yu couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart for a moment, but suddenly found that the room was as quiet as death.
He was very surprised, but he didn't know what happened. He could only raise his head and look at Jia Jing who suddenly appeared in front of him and salute generously.
"Mo Yu has met Uncle Jing."
Jia Jing was stunned, and then his eyes showed ecstasy.
He held Mo Yu's hand and looked him up and down. Just when Lin Ruhai was about to come forward to rescue Mo Yu, he finally let go of Mo Yu's hand, twisted his beard and said with a smile:
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Huh?
What's good? Just fine?
Just, the main theme is a riddle that no one understands.
Everyone was helpless when they saw this, but Mo Yu thought there was no problem.
This Mr. Jing is obviously a person who doesn't know how to deal with people, but if you want to tell me how bad he is, it seems that you can't tell.
Especially before this Mr. Jing came into the house, Mo Yu had just learned a lot of "love and hate" from System 006, so he couldn't hate this Mr. Jing. Of course
, his outstanding appearance is definitely a significant plus.
Everyone loves beauty.
Even if Mo Yu is just a little kid of three or four years old.
Who doesn't like to look at good-looking people?
Even if it's a stupid beauty, she is still a beauty. Or a stupid beauty who wears a green hat, hey, it's even more pitiful.
Mo Yu complained in his heart that it was a good feeling, and it can be said that he didn't care about the lives of the people around him.
Jia Zhen was standing closest to Mo Yu and Jia Jing. When he "heard" these words, his face immediately turned pale.
Cuckold or something, even if others didn't understand, how could he, as a son, not know what this was about?
As the eldest branch, Ningguo Mansion has always been in charge of the post of the head of the Jia family. Even if Jia Jing is no longer the head of the family, he cannot be insulted in this way - this is a matter of face, even if it is useless, Jia Zhen cares about it.
But Jia Jing didn't react at all, and completely ignored these words. Instead, he looked at Mo Yu with surprise, and continued to look him up and down, as if he was a child who found a new toy, full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge.
Where has Mo Yu seen such a scene before?
But he has seen the world and will not be frightened by such a small scene. If Jia Jing likes to watch, let him watch as much as he wants. After all, he is not made of paper or snow. Is he afraid of seeing it badly?
Mo Yu was so calm that Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and others were surprised. Even Jia She, who was always confused, couldn't help but look at Mo Yu more. Of course,
Mo Yu didn't care about this. He has never lost in a contest of eyes.
What's more, while he was looking at people, he could continue to search for some interesting information to relieve his boredom.
[It turns out that this Xuanzhen Temple also has many interesting stories, wow! Especially the master of the temple with crane-like hair and a childlike face. I wonder if Jia Jing knows it...]
[Wow! It turns out that he actually...】
Mo Yu hadn't finished his thought when he suddenly felt his arm being pulled again. He
looked up and saw that it was indeed Jia Jing.
This time, he smiled politely and even took Mo Yu's hand and asked him to sit with him.
Jia Zhen wiped the sweat off his face and hurriedly asked Jia Jing to take the seat.
In fact, this Master Zhen was in a pretty miserable
state today. From the beginning, he had been treating Jia Jing, his father, with a cold face and a warm butt. Not to mention being respectful to him, he even kept bowing and greeting him.
But Jia Jing was just like he had been in Xuanzhen Temple before. He turned a blind eye to Jia Zhen's behavior and was completely immersed in his own world, doing whatever he had to do.
Specifically, he walked directly in front of Mo Yu and studied with great interest the son of the daughter of the second wife next door who married out.
Jia Zhen was of course very ashamed, but he did not dare to say anything more.
It has been said before that this dynasty has always been founded on "filial piety", and being unfilial and disobedient are serious crimes. Even in a corner where no one is paying attention, this taboo cannot be violated, let alone now in the public eye?
Jia Zhen must be very cautious.
Not only him, but also Jia Rong.
After all, he is the real grandson.
His father Jia Zhen is like this, how can he, as someone else's son, be so arrogant?
Even if his grandfather Jia Jing has no interest in corporal punishment, his father Jia Zhen is very interested.
Others don't know, but Jia Rong feels deeply touched, because he was beaten since he was a child.
In such an atmosphere, Jia Jing's special attention to Mo Yu is particularly eye-catching.
After all, he walked out of a step that didn't recognize any relatives when he came in.
After entering the house, he simply ignored everyone's greetings, whether it was Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's greetings, or Jia She and Jia Zheng's greetings, or even Lin Ruhai's greetings, he ignored them all, as if everyone present was a loser.
Only Mo Yu.
In the eyes of this immortal master Jing, he is different.
Not only was he willing to "condescend" to touch Mo Yu, he even opened his mouth to talk to Mo Yu - to be honest, before he said those few words, Mo Yu thought he couldn't speak.
It was just a normal phenomenon after not communicating with humans for a long time, aphasia or something.
Or it was similar to the "closed-mouth meditation" practiced by Buddhists.
Although it is a bit strange to say this, normal people would not do this - if he can speak, why hasn't he said a word since he entered the door?
Is it really to preserve the "true energy" to the maximum extent so that it will not be dispersed by the act of speaking?
Fortunately, all these speculations were dispelled with Jia Jing's active gesture of goodwill.
Seeing Mo Yu being led by Jia Jing to sit down, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Jia She, and Jia Zheng's eyes were as big as copper bells.
Although Lin Ruhai's face was calm, his eyes could not help revealing some worries. It can be seen that Jia Jing's crazy and reckless temperament still made Lin Ruhai, an old father who cares about his son, feel worried.
However, they were nervous for a long time, but nothing happened.
Jia Jing just pulled Mo Yu to sit down on the seat, and then continued to look at him with a smile.
Although he showed a strong interest in Mo Yu, he did not say much. He just looked at him, and at the same time he was not idle, he began to take things out of his body, and handed them to Mo Yu one by one, meaning to give them to Mo Yu.
Mo Yu didn't understand, but he also felt that this Master Jing had no ill intentions, so he calmly did what he had to do.
Seeing Jia Jing giving her something, Mo Yu hesitated for a moment, and looked at Lin Ruhai first.
Lin Ruhai still looked calm, and didn't even give Mo Yu any hints - I don't know if it was Mo Yu's illusion, but I always felt that Lin Ruhai's attitude towards me had changed recently.
In the past, this old man always gave him some clear instructions, but recently this happened less and less.
I don't know why, it seems that this cheap old man no longer cares about him.
Whether he believes in his ability or there are other reasons, it is really unknown.
Although Mo Yu was a little confused, he didn't take it too seriously.
The family style of the Lin family has always been very good, and they attach great importance to the education and training of their children.
As the saying goes, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs running." Mo Yu has seen how Lin Ruhai and Jia Min raised little Daiyu.
It's nothing more than teaching her how to do it step by step at the beginning, and then slowly letting her go and cultivating her ability to do it herself. So, it should be the same routine for him. It
has to be said that this kind of educational concept is very advanced even in modern society, let alone in ancient times with such a fictional background? Otherwise
, why did the Lin family have five generations of marquises, and Lin Ruhai was the sixth generation and still standing firm.
If Daiyu's biological brother in the original book had not died young, he would definitely be the second Lin Ruhai.
What a pity...
ah?
You said I am Lin Moyu now?
Haha, who am I, don't you know?
Mo Yu was speechless about the untimely flattery and meaningful encouragement of System 006. But all this did not affect him receiving gifts from Jia Jing.
Yes, Jia Jing was indeed giving him gifts non-stop.
What about white jade bottles, bronze incense burners, blue and white porcelain, evil-repelling jade pendants, peach wood swords, half-new alchemy cauldrons with a furnace of newly-made elixirs...
yes, the last one was still warm.
Mo Yu accepted these "gifts" while thanking them calmly. Both his etiquette and words were perfect and impeccable.
Jia Jing looked at him more and more eagerly. For some reason, Mo Yu actually saw some urgency and desire in his eyes.
But what did he desire?
The last gift that was still smoking gave Mo Yu inspiration.
Yes, Jia Jing's favorite career was alchemy. The so-called seeking immortality and refining elixirs and making medicines, wasn't it just for the sake of seeking immortality?
He even brought out this smoking alchemy furnace to Mo Yu, obviously considering Mo Yu as a fellow practitioner.
Although he didn't know where he got this confidence from, Mo Yu couldn't resist the hospitality and opened the small alchemy furnace under Jia Jing's expectant eyes.
There were two pills in it, not too many, not too few, not too big or too small.
The pills were bright red in color, with a strong smell that was hard to tell whether it was fragrance or stench.
Mo Yu subconsciously held his breath, and when he looked at the pills carefully from a distance, he found the problem.
How could this thing be an elixir? It was a poison pill, right?
Cinnabar plus mercury, and a bunch of messy things that are hard to tell the details, and even a faint smell of blood, are really chilling.
Mo Yu quickly covered the two "poison pills" with the lid that came with the alchemy furnace, and then said to Jia Jing: "Thank you for your kindness, uncle Jing. I dare not refuse the gift from the elder, but this thing is too expensive. Please forgive me for not accepting it."
As soon as he said this, Jia Jing's face sank.
But Mo Yu didn't care about him, because* he had already started to complain crazily in his heart:
[Emma, if I say it's amazing, it's still Uncle Jing who is amazing. He dares to play with this thing! I won't talk about how dangerous mercury is, it can easily kill people if they touch it. If you dare to add cinnabar, it will be even more toxic. 】
【Then what else? Human blood or dog blood? Oh my god, this is really poisonous and disgusting. If you don't throw it away early, are you going to keep it for the New Year? Or are you going to send people to the west? 】
