Chapter 94 Zheyang Longevity
In the deep clouds and smoke that never dissipates all day long, there is a Taoist temple with few people. Guo Shao met an old man with all white hair and beard.
Perhaps everyone present can be sure that he is a true practitioner. He practices hard here, with only two servants accompanying him, one of whom is deaf and dumb. It is difficult to even bring food on the mountain. If people are for fame and fortune, what fun is there to live in this place even if they have a wealth of wealth?
The Mayi Taoist sat next to a stone table under a pine tree. On the stone bench was a pair of straw mats, and on the table were paper, pen, inkstones and paperweights. It was indeed a worn-out earth-gray linen cloth, and even the veil with white hair tied on it was also numb.
"Master!" Qingxu ran over with an excited expression on his face. The teenage girl really couldn't be as calm as a Taoist in Mayi. She was grievanced, but her voice was very crisp and brisk. "Master left me on Shu Road. The officers and soldiers of Shu Kingdom said that I was a spy and arrested me. This Guo Du Envoy was a general of the Zhou Dynasty. He saved me, but asked me to find my master to save him. Master was in Mount Emei, and we couldn't get through, so we came to Mount Hua to find Master."
The Taoist Mai ignored his disciples, but stared at Guo Shao's face, shook his head slightly, and frowned again, with a strange expression.
"Master, Master!" Qingxu called him like a spoiled person.
The Taoist Mai said, "What did you say?"
"Hmph!" Qingxu was completely angry, "Why didn't you listen to a single word after saying so many words?"
The military soldiers and soldiers were all outside the yard, and Guo Shao and Jingniang stood there, no one greeted them. Guo Shao stepped forward to see him: "I'm calling him Guo Shao, I have long been esteemed by the Taoist Taoist, and I have taken the liberty to pay my respects to him, and I have disturbed the old immortal's cultivation. Please forgive me."
The Taoist Mai said, "You are so strange."
Guo Shao was stunned, not knowing how to answer, and thought for a while and said politely: "I don't know where I am rude?" He suppressed his anxiety and talked nonsense here with this person. He really couldn't say anything about his hardships, and he really pretended to be a grandson.
However, it took a lot of effort to meet the Taoist Ma Yi, and it took a lot of effort to meet it. I hope the Taoist Ma Yi is capable... Guo Shao didn't doubt this. First of all, this old Taoist priest is definitely not a person who deceives the world and seeks fame and fortune. The people who can break fame and fortune are not ordinary people.
Furthermore, Guo Shao also wondered, how old is this old man?
It is said that Fuyaozi Chen Tuan passed the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty and was summoned by the emperor to reward palace maids. These things are not true or false, but at least they can prove that Chen Tuan was already an adult in the Tang Dynasty. I am afraid he is 80 or 90 years old! And this Mayi Taoist is actually the master of an old Taoist priest in his eighties or nineties... Conservatively estimated that Mayi Taoist is over 100 years old.
In this era when he died in his thirties and forties, how did he live to be over 100 years old? People who live to be over 100 years old can occasionally be seen in modern times, but Guo Shao has never seen such a person with red faces and bright eyes and not cloudy eyes... Even on TV.
The calm and calm expression of Mayi Taoist, who was originally indifferent, now seemed a little frowning. He said, "Why is your face completely different from spiritual energy? Is there a completely opposite example of the learning I have studied throughout my life?"
Guo Shao then remembered that Chen Tuan had said this back then. This Ma-Clothed Taoist is even more powerful. He said the same thing at a glance. He said Guo Shao was strange... Guo Shao also felt that his theory was inexplicable. Isn't the things in this world composed of different material elements atoms and molecules?
But Guo Shao is no longer afraid now. The old Taoist priest cannot keep him for any research now... He, a Taoist priest, should not be able to keep himself. He was just a little doubtful: There is really an invisible qi in a person's body? It seems to make sense to say that the contradiction between the body and the "qi" conflict, Guo Shao's current thinking does not belong here. Not to mention that people in this era cannot understand it, even modern people may just laugh it off... Even if the Taoist priest can really see it, no one believes him.
"No, no..." Ma Yi Taoist completely ignored Qingxu and Jingniang.
Guo Shao hurriedly said, "I beg the old senior to come out and save a person's life, and she will die! As long as you save her life, you can do whatever you want me to do in the future."
The Taoist Mai asked, "Who to save?"
Guo Shao said: "The Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
The Taoist Mayi suddenly said, "The eldest daughter of the Fu family? I have seen her. My life is determined by heaven, and no one can save it."
Guo Shao hurriedly took out Xiang Xun's letter and handed it on his hands. The letter described the queen's condition and the diagnosis of the imperial doctor in detail. He simply knelt in front of the Taoist in Mayi, leaned down and bowed down and bowed, "Please beg the old immortal!"
Qingxu looked at him in surprise.
The Taoist Mai didn't even look at the papers, and shook his head and said, "You go. I am really powerless to save people."
Jing Niang suddenly said coldly: "Human Taoism saves people, Taoism saves oneself. But I didn't expect that a person as respected as you would stand by and watch without even looking at it. If we had a destiny, we would also stand by and watch your disciples in Qingniling, would Qingxu's fate still be like this?"
The Taoist in Mayi didn't say anything. After hearing this, Guo Shao thought to himself: Jing Niang also seems to be a Taoist sect. When it comes to bad things about Taoism, isn't he a sincere religious person?
Jingniang said again: "I think you are afraid of the secular queen status and are afraid that you will not only affect your life, but also affect your immortal name."
After hearing this, Guo Shao felt that Jing Niang was a bit too much, but it was very suitable for his own thoughts. He thought that the Mayi Taoist would argue, or simply ignored it. However, the Mayi Taoist said without any attention: "Everything in the world should be natural and not forced. I don't care about fame and fortune... But this donor was right. I should see what happened to the eldest daughter of the Fu family."
The Taoist in Mayi picked up the letter paper on the stone table, stroked the white beard on his chin and looked at it. After a while, he said again: "The eldest daughter of the Fu family is the queen. The patient must be a famous doctor in the world, and the condition should be unbiased. As the imperial doctor said, she was destined to be heated, and then the heavy rain forced the heat toxin into her body... I have no choice but to do anything about this kind of thing the doctor is studying."
Guo Shao said: "Can you think of another way?"
The Taoist Ma Yi sighed: "What I have learned throughout my life is that except for facial appearance, I have not learned a lot about external elixirs, and I have never refined elixirs... But Chen Tuan also refines external elixirs. If he is there, he will use a pair of external elixirs and then use the internal elixir to easily promote the poison of heat, maybe he can try it."
Guo Shao said anxiously: "As the Taoist Nun Qingxu said, Fu Yaozi and her went south to Mount Emei, and should be in Shu. It's just that Shu is an enemy country, but the mountains are high and the road is far away, and I don't know where he is. Even if I luckily found someone, I don't know when. Can the queen last for so long?"
The Taoist Ma Yi said, "What's the solution? I said you don't understand. Those who have never practiced the inner alchemy will teach you the method of breathing now. It's useless. If you have fate, you don't have to be too sad. People have birth, old age, sickness and death, and they will die."
Guo Shao suddenly realized and hurriedly said, "I remembered that Fu Yaozi gave me a fairy pill a few years ago, saying that it could drive away the anger from my body to avoid internal and external conflicts. I didn't eat it, but I still kept it! Can I drive away the aura of the fire fairy pill? Can I still eat it for a few years?"
"What kind of elixir, what kind of smell, and what kind of taste it tastes?" asked Ma Yi Taoist.
Guo Shao looked confused. How could he know what pill it was? He didn't eat it, let alone what it tasted, but he smelled it because of curiosity. He now described it based on his remaining impression, but he really didn't know what it tasted... Because I didn't know where I read a piece of information before, saying that the elixir refined by Taoist priests contained heavy metal substances, and it might be chronic poisoning if eaten. It is not conducive to health if he stayed in the body. How could Guo Shao want to eat this thing?
After hearing this, the Taoist Mayi heard it, neither confirmed nor denied it. Guo Shao hurriedly said, "If you have to ask for elixirs, it is too late now, so how can you try it with that one? How to use it?"
The Taoist Mai said, "It's your business if you want to try it."
Guo Shao said: "Didn't you say you still need to practice inner alchemy? If you don't teach us, no one knows how to do it."
The Taoist in Mayi finally glanced at Qingxu, turned his head and frowned, "You are the one who violated his destiny. You must sacrifice to heaven and do not mention that this matter is related to the old man in front of anyone? In theory, such things are not conducive to Taoism, and at the least they will also reduce their life."
Guo Shao said without hesitation: "Whatever you do is do."
The Taoist in Mayi slowly stood up and greeted Qingxu and said, "You come with Master."
Guo Shao remained silent and couldn't stop Qingxu from leaving. He just thought: There was only one way up the mountain, and there was a cliff behind the Taoist temple. The soldiers guarded the yard and intersection outside. Unless the Taoist priests of this Taoist temple really became immortals and could fly, how could they avoid their own people? Besides, the Taoist priests in the Mayi seem to be respected practitioners, so they can't lie to others, right?
He was really confused. According to what Ma Yi Taoist said, it seemed that there were many kinds of elixirs. The elixir given by Chen Tuan in the past really worked. Looking back carefully, everything he did for Queen Fu was very unreliable. He was simply a desperate attempt to seek medical treatment... But what could he do? In this era, people could die if they catch a cold. The doctor only relies on traditional experience to cure diseases. Herbs are the main means; Guo Shao is not a doctor, and even the doctor is far inferior to the doctor now. He is really helpless.
Guo Shao stood beside the stone table in a daze, no one paid attention to them, and no one was entertaining. He and Jing Niang looked at each other. The deep mountains were very quiet, and he looked up at the sky again, vaguely knowing where he was. He felt that the surroundings were full of mystery and weirdness.
