Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

[Twenty weak crowns, thirty standing, forty no doubts, fifty knowing destiny, sixty sixties, seventy rare, eighty old.

"Book of Rites" has a cloud, 89 years old is called old age, and a hundred years is called old age. 】

When Ma Zhou uttered this guess, he still deliberately talked about it.

Let's set off the meaning of Daoist Yuan's worldly master.

But at this time, Wang Gui smiled and told him: "Old age?"

"Hehe, I think back then, when we were lucky enough to meet Daoist Yuan in Zhongnan Mountain more than ten years ago."

"He was already in his prime by then."

"I didn't expect that when I met Daoist Yuan again today, more than ten years later, Daoist Yuan's appearance and voice are the same as before."

"On the contrary, the few of us, alas, are gradually getting old!"

Hearing Wang Gui's words, Ma Zhou's expression suddenly changed.

That was in the era when people were nearly 25 years old and the average life expectancy was less than 600 years old, more than [-] years ago.

If there is an elderly person in any family, it is already a great longevity to be able to reach the age of seventy.

But Daoist Yuan in front of him must be at least one hundred and twenty years old?

That's pretty cool!

I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to be called an old fairy, right?

Ma Zhou had no doubts about the authenticity of Daoist Yuan's age.

The person who said these words was the prime minister of Datang.

And based on Ma Zhou's understanding of Wang Gui, it is absolutely impossible for Wang Gui to talk about this kind of thing.

At this time, Wei Ting on the side also looked a little lonely for no reason.

Then get emotional.

"Ma Zhou, maybe you don't know about our relationship with Daoist Yuan."

"This Daoist Yuan is really a hidden master."

"I think back then, Wang Gui, Du Yan and I traveled together in the clouds."

"Then at Zhongnan Mountain, I met Daoist Yuan by chance."

"Calculating now, it's not 20 years, and I'm afraid it was seventeen or eighteen years ago."

"At that time, we also saw Yuan Daochang's immortal character, so we asked him to look at the orientation and fate for the three of us."

"I remember Daoist Yuan said at the time, judging by the looks of the three of us, we will all be great officials in the future."

"But there is one thing, the three of you will be demoted in the same year in the future."

"But after being demoted, you will become even richer."

Chapter 676 Young man, we meet in a dream

Later, as Yuan Daochang said, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, when there was turmoil and the world's great powers came together. "

"The three of us joined the army of the Supreme Emperor."

"Later, during the reign of Wude, he became an official of the Tang Dynasty, and he was also highly valued, and his rank was not low."

"It's just that Du Yan has been following the current Holy Majesty at that time, and he is a member of the Qin Palace."

"Wang Gui and I are both advisors of the crown prince."

"I remember at that time, there was a private chat, and the three of us talked about it."

"This Yuan Daochang's hexagram is inaccurate."

"The three of us belong to two hostile factions. No matter who wins and who loses, it's impossible for the three of us to be demoted together, isn't it?"

"But guess what?"

"The case of Yang Wengan's rebellion happened later."

"This Yang Wengan is from the Crown Prince's East Palace, and he was accused of plotting rebellion."

"At that time, the Supreme Emperor was furious and ordered the Qin Palace to suppress the rebellion."

"I remember Wei Zheng came up with the idea at that time in a crisis, and asked the prince to go to the Supreme Emperor to express his grievances."

"As a result, this matter made a lot of trouble, and it was over."

"As for the Taishanghuang, in order to calm down the matter, he also hit [-] boards each, saying that the East Palace and the Qin Palace were all caused by the villain behind the scenes, the counselors, and this incident was provoked."

"In the end, the three of us were demoted together."

"I remember at that time, when I knew that I was going to be demoted, I didn't think of any discomfort or loss in my heart."

"At that time, all I thought about was Daoist Yuan's hexagrams, amazing!"

"Ma Zhou, you know all about what happened afterwards."

"After the change of Xuanwu Gate, both Wang Gui and I have been reused by the current Holy Majesty."

"The grade and status are also much higher than those in Wude's time."

"It happens to confirm the end of Yuan Daochang's hexagram."

"It's just a pity that in the early years of Zhenguan, Du Yan had just been conferred the title of county king, so he let go."

"Otherwise, the person sitting here today must have a seat for him."

Hearing Wei Ting's words, Wang Gui also sighed softly.

I deeply miss my old friend.

"Ma Zhou, look at this and talk about it, let's change the wine and food."

"This is no mood to drink tea."

Hearing Wang Gui's words, Ma Zhou naturally agreed again and again.

He hurried to order people to serve wine and food.

At this moment, in his heart, he really regarded Daoist Yuan as a heavenly being.

Amazing existence.

If he could make a divination for himself, what would happen if he didn't know what the divination would look like?

At that time, people still believed in divination and divination.

Even Sun Simiao, the genius doctor, is a man of Taoism.

He also has a lot of research on Taoist knowledge, commonly known as the Taoism is very deep.

In addition to diagnosing diseases and prescribing medicines, they often draw talisman seals on people to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters.

So when he opened the medical center in Furong Academy for Sun Simiao, Li Qiu told him to keep the branch of talisman Taoism at the bottom of the box.

You don't need to teach this group of children. If you have reservations like this, you can be regarded as worthy of Sun Simiao's teacher.

Even if he gets to that side in the future, there will be an excuse and an explanation.

To put it bluntly, Li Qiu didn't believe in talismans and alchemy at all.

However, in Sun Simiao's mind, he regarded his Taoism as more important than the branch of medicine.

So he and Li Qiu hit it off immediately and made a rule that Furong Academy does not study Taoism.

Afterwards, Ma Zhou accompanied the whole process, listening to Wang Gui, Wei Ting and Yuan Tiangang reminiscing about the past.

He and Li Chunfeng were more self-conscious, accompanied the whole process, and listened lightly.

It is also quite interesting.

But Ma Zhou was the only one who wanted to ask for a chance to make a hexagram, but he never got it.

An expert outsider like Daoist Yuan should not be negligent and open his mouth so easily.

When the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have tasted five flavors.

Seeing that it was Shen Shi (15:00-17:00), it was getting late, and Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were about to leave.

At this time, Wei Ting handed over a bag of rather generous money to Li Chunfeng.

"Yuan Daochang, back then, you divination for the three of us, and said that if it came true in the future, you will come to get the hexagram."

"Nowadays, you two, master and apprentice, must not shirk this little thought."

"This is also an old love between me, Wang Gui, and the deceased Du Yan for you, Daoist Yuan."

"In the blink of an eye, nearly 20 years have passed."

"Whether I can see Daoist Yuan again next time, I'm afraid it's unknown."

Seeing this, Yuan Tiangang beat him up.

"Since this is the case, the poor master and apprentice will no longer refuse."

"However, for a long time to come, we, master and apprentice, will stay in Chang'an City for a long time."

"So, Mr. Wei, we will meet often."

"At that time, I will inevitably ask you for a few drinks."

Hearing this, both Wei Ting and Wang Gui showed joy.

Being able to meet and chat with Yuan Tiangang, an outsider like Yuan Tiangang more often, will always make you feel comfortable.

Ma Zhou, who was at the side, was also relieved.

Originally, he planned to have a discussion with Yuan Xianchang while he was leaving.

Now that they heard that their master and apprentice will continue to stay in Chang'an City, then there is no rush for the fortune-telling.

Therefore, he also expressed very enthusiastically that today he was able to rely on the honor of Wang Gui and Wei Ting to get acquainted with Yuan Daochang.

Very honored.

No matter when in the future, as long as Ma Zhou is still in the Furong Garden, the two priests can come to him at any time.

At that time, Ma Zhou must have good wine, good food and good tea, waiting for you.

And Ma Zhou pays for it himself, and will never take advantage of the public, so please rest assured.

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were naturally embarrassed to shirk Ma Zhou's kindness and enthusiasm.

I can only thank you again and again.

Before leaving at the end, Wang Gui also asked them, what important things do they have to do when they come to Chang'an this time?

If they are in trouble, I am willing to help them.

At this time, Yuan Tiangang uttered a few prophecies in an unpredictable way, which made people unable to understand the specific meaning.

Probably because he came to Chang'an City for a chance or something.

It's the kind that Taoist priests often say.

Just like that, Ma Zhou reluctantly watched Yuan Tiangang's master and apprentice leave on foot.

However, he did not expect that Ma Zhou would have another special encounter with their master and apprentice tonight!

Chapter 677 You guys knew each other before?

Let me talk about Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng as master and apprentice.

After receiving the gifts from Wang Gui and Wei Ting, he finally had money.

Moreover, Wang Gui and Wei Ting are both in high positions nowadays, and they are very generous.

The money in the bag is enough for the two of them to spend ten years in Chang'an.

After bidding farewell to Wang Gui and the others, it was already the end of Shenshi, and there was not much time left before the curfew in Chang'an City.

Since the assassination of Zhang Xuansu, the assassin and the real murderer have not been caught yet.

The control in Chang'an City has always been in a very strict state.
