Seeking the Dao in the Seemingly Mundane Mortal World

Chapter 33: Dan Dao

Views:

Early the next morning, the original prince went to the funeral.

The funeral was supposed to be hosted by the king himself, but the host was Donghuazi. At the grand ceremony, Li Qinglin and Li Qingjun stood silently on the side, Li Qingjun cried so much that his eyes were swollen, and Li Qinglin was expressionless.

His mind drifted to the palace long ago, that was when the father was summoning Qin Yi.

His father's health has been deteriorating for the past two years. The banquet yesterday was already very hard for him. This morning, he was unable to participate in the ritual and rested in the palace. But the father king himself doesn't feel that his body is getting worse, but he often thinks that his spirit is better...

Li Qinglin sighed softly. Turning his head to look at his sister, who was crying so much, he also felt a little conflicted in his heart.

On the one hand, I hope that my sister can be so brilliant all the time, and on the other hand, I hope that she can become mature and sensible... I don't understand anything, it's so stupid that it makes people irritable, but if she really understands, maybe it will be the beginning of the brother and sister's opposite goals.

Speaking of which, I envied Qin Yi a little, and he was calm and unseemly, so there were a lot of less troubles.

Over there, Qin Yi was led to the bedroom by the palace servants, and felt extremely uncomfortable along the way.

When going to the sleeping hall, Mianjun obviously could no longer bring a mace, so he left the tassel in his own courtyard when he went out, and hid it very carefully in the heart of the wooden sword. After I thought I had hidden the tassel properly, as soon as I went out, I felt uncomfortable and missing something.

It's like forgetting to bring a mobile phone when going out before crossing... Even more serious, I feel half empty, my hands are itchy, and I almost want to carry the eunuch beside me.

This is the first time to leave the tassel since crossing.

Fortunately, the knowledge of Taoism and law has made up for a lot recently, and it will not be easy to show cowardice. Divination is a bit of common sense nonsense, and it is similar to Donghuazi anyway. Alchemy and pharmacy are considered professionals. Looking at Donghuazi's broken pills, Qin Yi feels that he can completely beat him in this aspect. In general, this time Mianjun has a certain amount of confidence, and he will not become a waste without tassel.

This is the scene Qin Yi imagined when he came out of the mountain. (PS: I don’t know what kind of brains some people think that Qin Yi came out of the mountain to fight with Donghuazi. So obviously the prince invited him to win the favor of the political dispute, and the level of dealing with Donghuazi is mainly relying on Politics is not fighting, what I don't understand is that Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to use a fan to rush to kill the generals, do you think you are playing the Three Kingdoms War?)

When I got to the sleeping hall, the smell of sandalwood was fragrant. When I walked in, I saw the king wearing a Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon, surrounded by sandalwood, and a maid was gently fanning the wind.

Qin Yi can't complain, your eldest son is going to funeral today, if you can't afford it, it's fine, but you're cultivating here!

At the banquet yesterday, the king sat on the throne, a little far away, and his attention was mainly on Donghuazi and Mang Zhan, and he didn't pay too much attention to the king's appearance. Looking at it from a close distance now, this king has very handsome facial features, no wonder the sons and daughters born are handsome. He was no more than 40 or 50 years old, with jet-black hair and a ruddy face. He really looked like he had good health preservation skills. No wonder he believed in Donghuazi.

But Qin Yi could see that his rosy appearance was not normal.

This King of Wude also went to the battlefield when he was young, and he is also a martial artist. A martial artist with a successful practice should still be at his peak when he is in his 40s or 50s. .

Can you imagine Li Qinglin's red face when he was in his 40s and 50s

His rosy appearance is due to erysipelas, which is already affecting his health. and…

The rich sandalwood seemed to cover up the faint smell coming from his body.

"Your Majesty, Qin Yi is here." The eunuch whispered.

The king opened his eyes, and at that moment there was some turbidity, but it slowly became clear.

"Five declines in heaven and man", such a term appeared in Qin Yi's mind. He was slightly shocked. He didn't know if his pharmacological knowledge was too poor. In short, if he just judged by his own level, it seemed that this king would not live long...

"Fellow Daoist Qin." The king's tone was very kind. "Young fellow daoist, I don't know where your teacher is from?"

Qin Yi was already prepared, so he said, "My teacher, the real person Liusu, travels around the world, I don't know where to go."

The king thought about it for a while: "I have never heard of it... But there are many people with Taoism in the world, and it is true that not only a few people can know everything."

Qin Yi thought to himself that you were so ignorant that you didn't know everything? Of course he didn't say it out loud, he just bowed.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, please take a seat." The king pointed to the futon opposite.

Qin Yi sat leisurely with his knees crossed, his robe lightly raised, his palms facing the sky in front of his knees, his posture was standard, but he didn't look like a cultivator, but he felt a little out of the way. The king stared at it for a while, then nodded slightly: "Sit down with double flails, five hearts facing the sky, very standard, and it is indeed inherited."

"..." Qin Yi was almost speechless, what did Donghuazi teach you, such a basic thing should be used as a judging indicator

The king said again: "What kind of school do you major in? Divination?"

"Fortune-telling is just for fun." Qin Yi said, "I major in the Way of Wai Dan, which can help people to eliminate disease and timidity and prolong their life."

The king's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "It's similar to what the national teacher has learned. Daoist friends may wish to ask the national teacher for more advice, or it may be beneficial."

This puts Qin Yi in the position of Donghuazi's student, which shows how high Donghuazi's position is in his heart. Qin Yi said lightly, "It is also possible to communicate with fellow Daoists."

The king said: "The national master's pills are nine-turned, which can lead to longevity. Daoist friends are only timid. Daoist friends are young and vigorous. Although they have inheritance, they still need to be humbly to Dao."

"To say that you are timid and sick is to be modest. The road is hard, and it takes a lifetime to ask yourself for longevity. Instead, you talk loudly and help others live long? If you talk too much, you are not conceited."

The king was stunned for a moment, and said: "The national teacher is not full, and the real method of nine-turn longevity is also being explored. However, the usual elixir, the few people feel that they are very clear and wise, and have effective results."

Qin Yi almost wanted to directly say that those pills are useless, but remembering Li Qinglin's reminder, he pressed it down and said, "I will ask the national teacher for help someday."

The king nodded, and suddenly said: "Daoyou is a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, and Zhaoyang..."

Qin Yi bowed down directly: "The two love each other, and I would like to be a Taoist partner."

The king didn't seem to expect this guy to be so direct. Instead, he was choked back when he was full of words. He looked at him for a while with a strange expression, and then slowly said: "Daoist friends are not clean, so what is there to ask? There is something for a widow... "

Qin Yi interrupted directly: "I don't know the alchemy Tao of the national teacher, did you ever mention such a sentence?"

The king was interrupted, but he was not displeased, and said kindly, "Fellow Daoist, please speak."

"The first combination of lead and mercury, the first kiss of the dragon and the tiger, the intersection of the sun and the moon, and the mutual feeling of yin and yang, so the elixir is also chaotic. I don't know the foundation of the dragon and tiger, the transformation of yin and yang, and throwing gold and stone rashly, and fabricating the elixir, is like going into the water to seek chickens and rabbits. , Climbing fish dragon, wrong!"

The king was stunned for a while, and fell into deep thought.

Qin Yi was refreshed.

It's useless to be a child and pray that people don't marry off their daughter. It's the real act of pretending to use the Dan Dao, which he values most, to pretend!
