Although Xu Zuguang suffered some hardships in his previous life, after the three-year exile period, good times have come. The original owner provided him as an ancestor, and the food and clothing were the most luxurious. He was also generous in socializing outside. He had a very harmonious relationship with his colleagues and Shangfeng. His official position was promoted twice a year. In just a few years, he has a real position in the army, and his authority is not small.
It is said that it is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and from luxury to frugality is difficult. Xu Zuguang has lived a life of wealth and honor, and now he starts all over again, how could he possibly get used to the poor life of Liupin sesame official? Not to mention other things for the time being, just the food and use at home, he is very disdainful, the yard has not been expanded, and it is really uncomfortable to live in.
He wholeheartedly thought that as long as he seized Lin Dan's opportunity, he could become rich overnight, but he didn't expect this to be a bottomless trap. In order to prevent Lin Dan from bringing those master masters back to help her open the shop, he paid very high wages, and he even gave dozens of taels from time to time. !
Those masters obviously have no real skills, so where did they get the cheeky money to take his money? Maybe their front feet are grateful to him, and their back feet call him a fool!
The more Xu Zuguang wanted to cross the hurdle in his heart, he was so angry that his head was congested with blood. He quickly supported the desk and called out a name through gritted teeth: "Lin Dan!!"
At the same time, his violent anger was mixed with a slight remorse that he didn't even notice himself. If he had known that Lin Dan was so capable, he shouldn't have let her go, he shouldn't have...
Just at this moment, Wan Xiu'er walked into the study with a big belly and saw several gifts placed on the desk, so she picked it up and looked at it, and tasted another piece of cake, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiang Gong, is this possible? Is it a new product developed by the master in our shop? It's so delicious! I have never eaten such a delicious pastry, even the imperial meal is far worse than this one! Ah, this fragrant pill tastes so special, yes Isn't that what's in our shop?"
The lid of the box was buckled upside down on the table by Xu Zuguang, so Wan Xiuer did not see the words "Xuanqingguan". She played with these gifts one by one and was full of admiration.
Xu Zuguang naturally knew how good these things were and how much money he could earn in the future, so he became more and more annoyed. He didn't dare to tell Wan Xiu'er the truth, because her dowry money had already been spent by him. If those shops couldn't make any money, and Wan Xiu'er would end up in poverty, she would just tear him apart.
Xu Zuguang didn't dare to say a word, he just thought that these things belonged to his own shop, but Wan Xiu'er fell in love with this exquisite gift box so much that she organized the gifts neatly and closed the lid. Seeing the three words "Xuanqing Guan", she was stunned for a while, and then asked in a hoarse voice: "This thing is from Xuan Qing Guan?"
Thinking that the shop is now full of people from Wan Xiu'er, and sooner or later this matter can't be concealed, Xu Zuguang can only nod his head with difficulty. In his opinion, even if Wan Xiu'er knew that these items were not from her own shop, it would be fine. At most, she felt that Lin Dan was comparing her, and she felt uncomfortable. She has no memory of her previous life, so how could she know that these things originally belonged to the Xu family, and how much money did she earn
But Wan Xiu'er's reaction was completely different from what he expected. She stared at the box as if she was staring at a terrifying monster, then bent her back and twitched in pain. The two maids hurriedly came to help her, and soon found that some blood was oozing out of her skirt, which was actually fetal air.
A group of people hurriedly carried Wan Xiu'er away, Xu Zuguang thought of her extremely violent reaction, and couldn't help but cross a trace of strangeness in his eyes.
…
The situation of the Xu family was getting worse and worse, but Lin Dan lived a very comfortable life. On this day, she held Xu Miaomiao's hand to teach her to practice calligraphy, while Prince Jin sorted out the manuscript, glanced at the two from time to time, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Recently, more and more believers have come to Xuanqing Temple for help. Have you ever thought about keeping a low profile? Do you know that even if you have superb medical skills and can cure most of the diseases in the world, there is one disease that you absolutely cannot avoid? It can't be cured. If people in the world deify you too much, they will put you in the sky, which will be a disaster rather than a blessing for you." Prince Jin said with a little concern.
Before Lin Dan could respond, Xu Miaomiao pouted and said, "There is a disease in the world that my master cannot cure? Impossible!"
Prince Jin smiled and pinched her cheek, and said, "Of course, there is a disease that no doctor can cure, and that is aging. When you live to a certain age, your eyes will be cloudy, and your mind will be cloudy. You will be confused, your teeth will fall out, your hands and feet will tremble, it’s all natural and no one can avoid it.”
Xu Miaomiao nodded in understanding.
Yao Bishui, who walked into the side hall with a tea tray, also agreed: "What the lord said is, Sister Lin, you will choose some patients to treat in the future, so as not to get into trouble."
Lin Dan smiled nonchalantly, and was about to speak, when he saw a small Taoist boy rushing in and hurriedly said: "Lord, a very ill old man came outside, his family was crying, and the believers were stunned. You're all shocked, go and have a look."
Lin Dan naturally did not dare to delay the important matter of human life, and immediately took Fochen to the door. When the newly recruited Dao Boys saw her, they all bowed and saluted, showing reverence. Her Xuanqingguan does not accept laymen who come to place orders, but only accepts children between the ages of six and twelve, because they are simple-minded and can be cultivated according to the plan she made. After ten or twenty years, they have learned A Taoist boy with medical skills can certainly benefit one side of the water and soil.
Believing in a god is not a bad thing, but refusing to seek medical advice because of belief is sad. Lin Dan doesn't have the ability to change everyone's ideas, but he can secretly do something for everyone. She quickly walked to the door, and the onlookers immediately gave way, allowing her to see the scene in front of her clearly.
I saw an old man in his 60s lying on a straw mat, his face withered and his breathing weak, he didn't know if he was alive or dead. His family knelt around, weeping and crying for help, seemingly worried. However, if they were really worried, why would they put the old man on a cold mat and let him suffer from the cold autumn wind. Furthermore, why didn't they put the old man in the observation for the first time, but put him outside for people to watch
Besides creating troubles and seeking personal gain, what other purpose do they have? The old man was just a pretense.
Lin Dan knew very well, but he would not leave the seriously ill old man alone, and immediately took his hand and checked his pulse. Prince Jin has seen too many conspiracies and tricks, and his heart is like a mirror, and his brows can't help but wrinkle. Recently, he also learned some medical skills from Lin Dan, so he squatted down and held the old man's right hand, probed it carefully, and then his heart sank.
The world is really unbearable. He just said that Lin Dan could not cure the disease of aging, but in reality, she really encountered a case. The old man was not sick, but his body was deteriorating and he was unable to recover. His family should also know that this is something that cannot be violated by manpower, but instead of taking care of the funeral for him, they sent him, who was already tormented, to this Nam Doosan to suffer from the cold wind. What do they want to do? Blackmail
As soon as Prince Jin thought about this, the old man's son spoke up. First, he bragged about Lin Dan's ability, saying that she had a profound Taoism. In the next life, they sent their father up the mountain precisely because they trusted her ability, hoping that the immortal chief could help and cure his father's illness.
His wife, children, brothers and sisters kept supplementing him, and they praised Lin Dan so much. Incited by them, the believers who were convinced of Lin Dan's ability also joined the touting team, as if the old man would recover immediately as soon as Lin Dan made a move.
How similar is the situation today to what Prince Jin mentioned earlier? Lin Dan was completely erected by these people, and the erection was high. If he refused, he would fall from the altar in an instant.
Who set this trap? What is the purpose for? Prince Jin pondered in his heart while ordering the guards to separate the fanatical believers. But Lin Dan didn't have to think about these useless questions at all, she ordered Yao Bishui to go to Guannai to get a thick quilt to cover the old man, and then said slowly: "Don't hide this kind knowledge, your father is not sick or evil. , but when the time comes, it's time to re-enter the cycle. The so-called birth, old age, sickness and death are things that only gods can manage, how can we mere mortals intervene?"
"But, aren't you a living fairy? You are not a mortal!" said the old man's son with certainty.
"Yes, yes, how can the immortal be helpless! The immortal is a living god." I don't know if there is his care in the crowd, so he immediately agitated the believers. Lin Dan can only go up the ladder. Don't go down, or if someone with a heart spreads it a little, her prestige will be greatly affected.
But Lin Dan was not nervous at all, and even chuckled lightly. She had already guessed that the person who set up this game was to suppress her and also to suppress Xuanqingguan, and those who had a direct conflict of interest with her and Xuanqingguan did not think about it except for Hanguang Temple.
The once prosperous Hanguang Temple can only be described as the coldness of the door in the past two months. Without the huge amount of offerings from the pilgrims, the monks in the temple would have a very difficult life. Because of their excessive expansion, the 3,000 monks were not enough. Last month, they recruited 700 to 800 people. How much does it take to open so many mouths? Sesame oil money to feed
Lin Dan shook his head and interrupted the man's eloquent compliments: "Reversing life and death is a method of immortals, to be honest with this good teacher, I do have that ability. But you should also be able to imagine, to use this kind of skill. The method is by no means easy, and it takes my whole life to refine a pot of Yang Yang Pill. The path of reincarnation can intervene. If I answer you, I am afraid that even the gods will send down thunder to punish me for my unstoppable actions. , you and your family will also be guilty of this, and then you will be down for the rest of your life. Life and death are fixed, and the way of heaven cannot be disobeyed. This good teacher, you should go back with your father. When you are old, you should obey the destiny. Why ruin the luck of the whole family because of this?"
Lin Dan's remarks were quite Zen, and the onlookers nodded in agreement, and then turned their heads to persuade the family.
Prince Jin knew that Lin Dan could solve the situation in front of him, but he was still slightly dissatisfied with her words. She shouldn't boast that she has the ability to heal the elderly, what if these people are persistent
Just thinking of this, the woman standing behind the man took off the golden hairpin on her head, plunged it into her heart, and said while vomiting blood: "Xianchang, I know that the destiny cannot be violated, but I am willing to use my life to come Changing father-in-law's life is always possible, right?"
Half of the woman's body was blocked by the man, so Lin Dan didn't see her pulling the golden hairpin at all, otherwise she would definitely stop it. She never imagined that the monks of Hanguang Temple would be so vicious, so they went straight to destroy her and Xuanqingguan. Now that even human lives have been caused, can she agree to this request
Prince Jin stared at the woman lying on the ground, his dark eyes filled with an unbearable suffocating aura.
Lin Dan immediately inserted a few gold needles. Enter the woman's major acupuncture points, trying to stop the bleeding for her. But she was so ruthless that she was out of breath in the blink of an eye. The man hugged her and cried a lot, and the rest of the family also gathered around. The cries were so loud that even the old man who stepped into the underworld with half a foot was awakened, and two lines of turbid tears fell from his hazy eyes.
This situation can only be described as horrific. In the blink of an eye, a human life was thrown down. This is where Lin Dan is put on the shelves, and it is forcing her to put the oil in the pan!
Lin Dan's face was completely cold, and he said word by word, "I am afraid that changing one life for one life is not enough. To refine the Yang Dan, I still need to find all kinds of heaven and earth treasures. Who will bear the cost of this? These days? Treasures of the material include the thousand-year-old Lingzhi and ginseng, the ten-thousand-year-old stalactite, the snow lotus that only blooms in the Kunlun Xianmai, the night pearl that only grows in the endless deep sea, the horn of a hundred-year-old giant rhino, and the skin of a double-headed snake... "
Lin Dan quickly counted more than a dozen medicinal herbs that only exist in fairy tales, and said coldly, "I can find these treasures for you, but can you afford them?"
The onlookers listened in fascination, and they all agreed: "Yes, the elixir that can make the flesh and bones of the living dead is so easy to refine! Do you think it is Chinese cabbage that can be picked by walking in the fields? It's a fart, can those babies still fall from the sky?"
The man seemed to have already anticipated Lin Dan's tricks, and immediately kowtowed: "The believers are willing to give up all their net worth, and ask the Immortal for help!"
"How much is your entire net worth? Is it enough to buy a night pearl?" Lin Dan asked in a dull tone.
"I don't know if it's enough, but Immortal Chief can take a look at it." The man hurriedly ordered his son to take out the large boxes placed in the carriage and spread them out in front of everyone's eyes.
Good guy, this man is really rich. He has two boxes of land deeds alone. Roughly, there are tens of thousands of acres. Some are in the suburbs of Beijing, and some are in several nearby states and counties, not far away. And they are all fertile fertile fields, as well as a number of pavements, real estate, gold and silver jewelry, and antique jade.
Who would be willing to take out millions of taels of property to save a dying old man, and his daughter-in-law committed suicide in exchange for the life of the father-in-law. This family is truly filial to the heavens! If God has the virtue of good life, they will surely forgive their deeds!
In front of the huge amount of money, the believers were fascinated and fascinated, and they all turned to the men's camp, begging Lin Dan to agree. This is a series of links, and the bait in each link is very heavy. It is simply a force of prehistoric times. How can Lin Dan not agree
"Forget it, this kind teacher is the most filial to Zen, how can I, a person who understands Zen, refuse? Bishui, ask the handymen to carry this old man in." Lin Dan sighed.
The man pretended to be ecstatic, and then pretended hesitantly: "If my father can't be cured, these possessions..."
"Naturally, I will give you everything back." Lin Dan said firmly.
I don't know who in the crowd jeered and said, "Master, you didn't say that you have the means of the immortal family, you can definitely be cured, how can you go back on your word? This family not only lost a life, but also gave you all their property, you can't do anything about it. Don't you say it? You should promise a few words anyway, An'an's heart!"
As soon as this person's voice fell, more people were making noises. Once again, Lin Dan was fished out of the frying pan and raised to the sky.
Lin Dan smiled coldly, nodded and said, "If I miss, I'll leave the capital and never turn around again, how about that?" After turning his sleeves away, he closed the door, and said in the air, "After half a month, you will come to Nandou Mountain. Pick up your father, during this period, no one is allowed to enter the temple to interfere with my alchemy."
The man pretended to be banging the door in a hurry, but in reality he smiled grimly behind the crowd. Although one wife died, but with those gold and silver treasures, he could marry more wives, and he really made a lot of money. This stupid Taoist was so easily fooled by him, the so-called living gods are nothing more than this!
The rest of the believers discussed Lin Dan's words with great interest. When the enthusiasm subsided, they gradually regained their clarity and became suspicious - in this world, is there really an elixir that can live and die? This, this is not to be confused with too. Do the demons of Zu have a saying? Oops, did Prince Jin follow up just now? Will he be provoked by the sad past, and then hate Lin Xianchang
The so-called elixir has always been the common anti-scale of all Daqi royal families. If Lin Xianchang really has the means of the fairy family, it is good to say, if not, Xuan Qingguan is afraid that he will suffer!
