Fantasia: The blind man at the beginning starts with playing the erhu

Chapter 737: Because it does not produce itself, it can live forever

Li Pingan put all the fish in the basin.

The little girl ran out quickly, "A guest is coming!"

"Well, did the fairy treat you well?"

"some."

The little girl's eyes lit up when she looked at several big fat fish.

"Hmm~"

"Dapingan caught a lot of fish, and the fairy is going to catch fish tomorrow too."

"You go and entertain the guests, the fairy goes to sell fish."

"Then leave it to the fairy. Don't set the price too high. Just make enough money, otherwise it won't be easy to sell..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a little girl.

"I know, I know~"

Li Ping'an returned to the house and met the supervisor and the worshiper.

"You two are polite, please go down and wash your faces."

The supervisor said hurriedly: "I and I have taken the liberty to disturb you. Sir, please do as you please."

Li Ping'an fetched some water and simply washed his face.

Walking back again, "You two are here this time. What do you want to see Li?"

"Just because of what happened a few days ago, thank you Mr. Li for helping to stabilize the situation in Yanzhou."

"It's just a hands-on effort."

The supervisor smiled and complimented a few words, and then said.

"My Majesty has admired Mr. Sir for a long time, and I heard that Mr. Sir is here.

I want to invite your husband to the palace to see you. Firstly, I want to thank him properly.

Secondly, I also want to see Mr. "

Emperor Da'an?

"Thank you Your Majesty for me. It is not appropriate for me to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit.

If you intend to go to the capital at that time, you may go to the capital to meet His Majesty. "

The two of them seemed to have expected it, so they said: "If you arrive in the capital, we will definitely greet you."

Li Ping'an smiled and said, "It's not necessary to spend so much time."

Speaking of this, Li Pingan suddenly remembered something.

"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor is searching for the elixir of immortality all over the world, even sending fleets overseas. Is this true?"

"This......"

The two looked embarrassed.

"This is indeed true, how could sir know about it?"

“It’s a coincidence that I met Da’an’s fleet at sea and got acquainted with Da’an’s official Mr. Zhong Guotao.

Counting the time, he should have returned from the sea. I wonder how Mr. Zhong is doing now? "

As soon as these words came out, the two of them became even more embarrassed.

The prison officer coughed lightly: "Zhong Guotao failed in his work and was dismissed from his post by His Majesty. He is now in prison."

Li Pingan nodded thoughtfully, "Since ancient times, people have been unwilling to face aging and death.

Especially the ancient emperors who lived high in temples have been recorded since the beginning of history.

Every emperor is looking for a way to live forever. In the final analysis, he still refuses to give up his power, country and wealth. "

He paused, then continued speaking.

Could you please give me a message for His Majesty the Emperor? "

"Sir, please speak."

Li Ping'an spoke slowly: "The reason why heaven and earth can last forever.

Because it does not generate itself, it can live forever.

Therefore, the sage retreats from his body and puts himself first, and his body remains outside his body.

Not with his selflessness?Therefore, it can be done privately. "

The two of them were silent, pondering the meaning of these words.

It is precisely because of the selflessness of the saint that he has perfected himself.

To put it bluntly, neither heaven nor earth nor saints are self-generated, so they can live forever.

Heaven and earth will not plunder all things to grow themselves, nor will saints plunder people to grow themselves.

And it is precisely because of selflessness that one can survive for a long time.

Compared with the illusory immortality pill, the golden body is forged by the people's hearts...

Both Jianzheng and Shifeng are knowledgeable people, and they understood the meaning of these sentences after a little thought.

Both of them bowed their hands to Li Ping'an, "We will say goodbye once we have been taught."

"No delivery."

Li Ping'an didn't really expect that one or two words could make the emperor change his mind.

Just saying it is better than not saying it at all.

If you say ten thousand words, if there is one that is most useful.

Even if these ten thousand words are not said in vain.

...........

Daan, Kyoto.

The palace, in the imperial study.

The old emperor sat in front of the mirror, and in the mirror he had a head full of black and shiny hair.

Thanks to the help of the elixir, the face is rosy and shiny, and the skin is firm.

He doesn't look old at all.

But he knew very well that he would not live long.

No matter how glamorous you look on the outside, you can still deceive yourself in the past.

But as time went by, I had to face this fact.

With the help of refined elixirs, he has extended his life for decades.

But this is already the limit of the human body, and taking any pills will not help.

I originally thought of sending people to all directions to search for the elixir of immortality, but I also received support from the Sui Dynasty, so I could gain something.

The result was unsatisfactory, and the emperor was so angry that he directly threw Zhong Guotao, the leader, into prison.

Not long after, an old eunuch walked in.

"Master, the two adults are back."

"Got it, let them in."

Soon, Jian Zheng and Zong Fang entered the study together.

The two bowed slightly as a salute.

The emperor also said a few polite words.

The two are different from officials. In essence, they have a cooperative relationship with Daan.

In fact, the emperor's grandfather in front of him was supported by the two of them.

"Thank you both, how about this?"

"Your Majesty, Yanzhou is generally stable.

The other monks have also left our territory in Yanzhou one after another, and Mr. Li has temporarily settled in Yanzhou. "

"How about it? He is willing to come to Beijing."

"Mr. Li has no such idea for the time being and wants me to bring a message to His Majesty later."

Jian Zheng handed Li Ping'an's words to the emperor intact.

The emperor frowned and thought for a moment, then sighed.

"How can a cultivator like Mr. Li understand the sorrow of the poor..."

He closed his eyes gently and suddenly opened them again.

"Mr. Li and Zhong Guotao know each other?"

"It sounds like the relationship between the two parties is not bad." Chongfeng added.

..........

Northern Army Prison.

Zhong Guotao was wearing prison clothes and sitting in his cell reading a book.

Although he was wearing prison clothes, he seemed to be in good spirits.

It can be seen that he was not so miserable and desolate in prison.

This kind of official is guilty of a temporary crime and it is not a serious crime.

When you go to jail, you usually get preferential treatment.

Jailers have their own set of rules for survival.

"Excellent courtesy to senior officials."

This means that jailers are not allowed to insult or beat guilty officials, but must also be respectful.

Because you don’t know when someone will gain power again.

Even if he loses power, he can't afford to offend any of his friends, relatives or old friends in the court.

"Master Zhong, dinner is here."

"Thank you."

Zhong Guotao thanked him and looked at the food. He couldn't help but think of his wife and children at home.

After being away from home for many years, his parents died.

Only his wife and child were left. He finally came back, but he never expected to end up like this.

Even if I don't die, I'm afraid I'll be locked up for who knows how many years.

Thinking of this, I sighed deeply.

"Lord Zhong!"

At this time, the official guarding the jailer came excitedly.

"Master Zhong, good news! Good news!"
