National Teacher's Office.

The setting sun is like blood.In the study room, a woman in a gray-blue Taoist robe is about 30 years old, with a calm face but sharp writing.I saw her scribbling ink and writing two powerful characters: Jade and Dao.It means throwing bricks to attract jade, borrowing a knife to kill someone.

"Give it to the author Shi Minzhan."

"Yes, national teacher."

After the black-clothed dark guards retreated, the National Teacher raised his head.But what is surprising is that her eyes are dull, and she is actually blind.Hearing that there was no one else in the room, she groped forward a few steps, reached the door and pushed open the door of the study.

In an instant, the afterglow of dusk sprinkled on her body, as if she had been covered with golden armor.

"Li'er~"

Hearing this voice, she raised her chin slightly against the warm light, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Senior Sister." Although she couldn't see anyone coming, she could hear Shi Yan's footsteps.

"Come and try my new plum porridge." The visitor was dressed in a plain white skirt with some dirt on his hem, holding a bowl of porridge in his hand.It's just that there is a deep and long scar on the left cheek, which adds a bit of chill to that beautiful face.

The person who was speaking was already in front of her, and Shi Yan held her hand, "Come and sit in the yard."

"it is good."

Shi Kui handed the porridge to the boy next to him, held Chu Li's hand, walked side by side to the flower pavilion and sat down.

"It's so fragrant, it makes people's index fingers move when they smell it." Chu Li smiled very much, and sat down obediently, "Shi Qi, give me a taste."

"No hurry, it's all yours." Shi Yan handed the bowl to her, making everyone stand back.

Chu Li couldn't wait to put it in his mouth, and he didn't forget to praise, "It really smells like plum blossoms. You are too good, Shi Qi. Let's open a restaurant after leaving here. It will definitely make a lot of money."

Shi Yan chuckled, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said angrily, "You want to exhaust me to death."

"Oh, that's true." Chu Li thought for a moment, "Then it's better to just cook it for me. I just feel sorry for those white money."

"Little money fan!" Shi Kui scolded her dumbfoundedly, his voice soft and full of affection.

At that time, the flowers were dancing lightly, and the breeze was light.The two people in the courtyard, with their fluttering clothes and chattering and laughing, don't seem to be in the world.

After Chu Li finished the bowl of porridge, Shi Yan wiped her sweat, "Are your eyes better today?"

"It's still the same." Chu Li didn't care too much.

Shi Yan couldn't help showing pity on his face, his eyes were a little hot, "I'll go see if the medicine is ready."

She suppressed her emotions and tucked away the broken hair on Chu Li's forehead. When she got up to leave, Chu Li said, "Senior Sister?"

"Ok?"

"Don't be sad." Chu Li smiled, took her hand and stood up, hugging her gently, "You are enough."

Shi Yan couldn't hold back his tears, but forced a smile, "I'm not sad. It's not that I can't get better."

"It doesn't matter if you can't get well—" Chu Li was halfway through speaking, Shi Yan covered her mouth, "Don't talk nonsense."

"If I'm really blind, would you not want me?" Chu Li tilted his head, smiling as if he was asking something unimportant.

Shi Yan raised his head, forced back his tears, and said with a smile, "You are so grown up, you still look like a child." She poked Chu Li's forehead affectionately, "You are also mine when you become ashes."

Chu Li's smile bloomed, and he pointed to his own lips, "Then kiss me quickly."

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of soft fragrance between the lips and teeth.Chu Li hugged her, enjoying her tenderness.After a while, he turned to kiss Shi Yan's eyes, "Don't cry. Although I'm blind, I'm not blind. Now we only have your eyes. If you cry wrong, I won't let you."

"It's my fault." Shi Yan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he closed his eyes to feel Chu Li's soft lips. "It's really not a big deal. I'm just... not used to it. Even if I lose a tit parrot, I can't bear it." It will be sad for a few more days. What's more, my Li'er has such beautiful eyes, so how can I not feel distressed." She smiled with tears in her eyes, "But, it will be fine soon."

"Well, you've been crying for half a month, and today is the last day, so don't cry anymore tomorrow." Chu Li said softly, kissing away her rolling tears, "Senior Sister, if you continue like this , I'm going to die of distress."

"Okay, don't cry." Shi Qi kissed Chu Li's lips, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, you can't see, I'm ugly when I cry."

"Haha." Chu Li laughed heartily, "I can imagine it! Ugly 霂霂~" and made a grimace.

Shi Yan was so annoyed that he pulled her ears.

Chu Li hurriedly begged for mercy, "My dear senior sister, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

"How dare you beg for mercy, Master Guoshi!" Shi Yan said while pinching her face with the other hand.

Chu Li couldn't break free, so he simply pressed towards her, hugged her tightly, and hid his head in her black hair.Shi Yan couldn't reach her anymore, so he hugged her waist helplessly and amusedly, "Laipi!"

There was no one else in the yard, and they were at ease.

"Okay, it's time for me to check on your medicine."

"so bitter."

"Good medicine tastes bitter."

Chu Li curled his lips, Shi Kui shook his head with a smile, and left.

As soon as he walked out of the backyard, he saw someone coming to report, "Miss Shi, there is someone outside the house asking to see you."

"I don't see you." Shi Yan's face was expressionless, "The national teacher is not feeling well and is recuperating. No one has been seen."

She pretended to be dignified, walked towards the kitchen after speaking calmly, prepared the medicine and brought it to Chu Li herself.

However, before he could sit still, the servant came to report again, "The man said, it's okay not to go to the national teacher, but to go to Taifu Shi."

Shi Yan paused, and Chu left his mouth, "Oh?" She tapped the stone table with her fingertips expressionlessly, "Who is it?"

"The man called himself Baili Yanrong, and said that the national teacher owed him money. If he doesn't pay it back, he will ask Taifu Shi for it."

"Baili Yanrong?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows, "It turned out to be him. He just happened to come," she smiled, "Please invite him in."

"Is that the novelist Miao Sheng with his brilliant pen?" Shi Yan asked, "You owe him taels of silver?"

Chu Li smiled, "I owe him a story."

She took Shi Kui's hand, "It's a coincidence that he came. After a while, Dawei and Liu Song will go to war. It's still unknown who will win the battle. I'm afraid you and I will be unpredictable. If he doesn't come, I'm afraid there will be no chance to recover this debt in the future." After a pause, he asked again, "Senior Sister, do you blame me for involving us in this fight?"

"What are you talking about?" Shi Yan looked at her affectionately, "There are so many things you can't help yourself in life." He added, "I'm very happy to be able to go through these ups and downs with you. Li'er, Pingping It doesn't matter if it's light or bloody, as long as we're together, I'm content."

Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Me too."

As they were talking, Baili Yanrong was brought over by his servants.

"Master Guoshi, do you still remember me?" Baili Yanrong saluted and took out a pen, "Look——"

"Don't look," Chu Li said with a smile, "I remember you."

It was only then that Baili Yanrong realized that her eyes were wrong, and was about to ask, when Shi Yan looked at him with a gloomy expression.Baili Yanrong's heart trembled, she didn't dare to ask more questions, she just said hastily, "Just remember, just remember, then—"

"I owe you a story for a long time," Chu Li said, "You just happened to come today, and you may not be able to find us in a while."

"That's why I came to look for the national teacher before the war." Baili Yanrong looked at the expressions of the two of them, and seeing the affection and affection between them, he couldn't help asking, "Is this Taifu Shi?"

"There is no Grand Tutor of the Southern Dynasty here, only my senior sister." Chu Li said lightly, and then asked, "Miaosheng, do you still want that unheard story?"

"No," Baili Yanrong replied, "I came here today just to ask for the story of the national teacher. The whole story—"

"can."

Baili Yanrong was overjoyed, "Thank you Guoshi!" Then he took a sneak peek at Shi Yan, "Can I also listen to Miss Shi's story by the way?"

"Let me tell you the story of Li'er before she was 19 years old." Shi Yu said, "Li'er, I don't know much about your time in Pingcheng, so let's start with you going to Pingcheng. " She looked soft and charming, "Tell me in detail what you saw about the prince and princess, and let me see if you have done something that should be hit."

Chu Li pursed his lips and smiled, "How dare you. Just a Princess Shanggu is under your nose, you still don't know?"

Shi Yan snorted lightly.

Chu Li took a sip of tea, and was a little dazed when he recalled the past, "The year I came to Pingcheng, it's been a long time. It's been five years since Taiyan."

Shi Yan said, "After drinking these medicines, it's not too late."

"Well," Chu Li frowned, "Bitter."

Shi Yan paused, and glanced at Baili Yanrong.Baili Yan didn't know what to do, so he saw that Shi Yan had medicine in his mouth, and he leaned forward to talk to each other.

They acted like no one was around, and Shi Yan finished feeding a bowl of medicine just like that.

Chu Li licked his lips and grinned, "Sweet." The smile was like a child's.

Shi Yan's face was reddish, but he lightly poked her forehead, "You."

Baili Yanrong's eyes were shining brightly, and he kept brushing.

Shi Yan poured a cup of tea for Baili Yanrong, and then Chu Li said slowly, "It's too late for five years, that was ten years ago."

That year, she was only 19 years old.

The author has something to say: O(∩_∩)O Hello~

Xin Wen Ke Guan, how about posting the queen's text? o(*￣︶￣*)o

☆, hairpin phoenix 01

"Let's go, let's go! The national teacher is here to send a letter again!"

The little brother at the post station called left and right, beckoning friends and avoiding Chu Li who was approaching unhurriedly, seeing her like a mouse seeing a cat.A few people hid quickly, and saw Chu Li in a gray-blue robe, walking slowly to the guard, and said with a smile, "Send a letter."

The guard looked mournful and mournful, "My lord, what a coincidence, Xiao Jia had some important business at home yesterday, so I asked for leave."

"Then change to Xiao B."

"Xiaoyi has diarrhea, so he can't run long distances."

"Where's Xiao Bing?"

"Xiao Bing didn't send you a letter and hasn't come back yet!"

"Xiao Ding can always do it?"

"Oh, what a coincidence, Xiao Ding went to the northwest to deliver a letter the other day."

"..."

Chu Li's face darkened, "Is the post station still available?"

"Master Guoshi, it seems... really gone." The guard tremblingly looked at the expression of the new little Guoshi, and secretly wiped his sweat.I really can't blame him for being perfunctory, it's really that the Master of the State Teacher sends letters too frequently, one small letter every two days, and one big piece every three days. The boundaries of the Southern Dynasties are over.It will take three or four months to go back and forth, the post station is not enough manpower!

"Then what to do!" Chu Li was unhappy.

"This..." The guard looked at the displeasure written on the face of the national teacher, secretly swallowed his saliva, and said with a flattering smile, "Why don't you wait for two days?"

"Wait two days?"

"Yes, yes, wait for two days!"

"Then I'll come back in two days." Chu Li thought for a while, "Today is the second day of September, and I'll come back on the fourth day."

"..." The guard was dumbfounded, wanting to cry but not crying.Master Guoshi, do you want to be so sincere!Say two days is two days, one day is not more and one day is not less!Seeing the Master of the State Teacher with his sleeves folded and walking away leisurely, the guard secretly complained in his heart, two days later he will be fooled like this, what about four days later?What about six days later?If Master Guoshi sees this, he, a little guard, can't afford it!

Until the figure of Master Guoshi was no longer visible, all the little buddies in the station appeared, you looked at me, I looked at you, staring at each other helplessly.

"How can this be done!"

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

There was a lot of lamentation in the post station, and everyone was frowning.The guard took out a stack of letters, and visually estimated that there were twenty or thirty letters, "If the national teacher finds out about this, we won't be able to afford it."

"That can't be sent by the sky!" Little brother A said, "It's too far away! Xiao Bing has been away for three months, and I haven't seen him yet. Thanks to the second letter from the national teacher, we have something to send Delayed, otherwise, how can we know that she still has the third and fourth letters... so many letters. There are a total of ten people in our post station, even if they know how to separate | It’s empty, and if there is something important at that time, how can we explain it.”

"That's right!" Little brother B said, "Great teacher of the country writes one letter a day, even if you send it to your lover, you don't have to write so frequently!"

"Don't dare to talk nonsense!" The guard hurriedly interrupted Xiao Yi, "Where did the Master of the National Teacher get a lover, you can't say this, you can't say it."

"It's not my lover's fault," Xiao Ding muttered, "Look at these letters, they are all sent to the same place." He pointed to the address on the letter——Nanshan College, Shangluo County, Jingzhou, Mo Sui Sui, on behalf of the collection .Xiao Ding had a clear expression, "There is a problem at first glance, and I still have to collect it. I must be embarrassed to write the name of my lover, so I let this Mo Sui Sui hand it over. Oops——"

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped by the guard, "There is no one who guards the door, let outsiders hear this, and you will be punished for defaming the imperial court official!"

"National teachers are considered officials..." Xiao Ding rubbed the back of his head, "I dare not."

"Why is the national teacher not considered an official! Not only are you an official, but you are also a high-ranking official, so you say you have no knowledge," the guard said, "Isn't the Chongxuan Department of our Great Wei just in charge of monks and Buddhist temples all over the world? The monks and officials in it are better than us. But it’s time to grow up.”

"But isn't our little national teacher succeeding Kou Tianshi? Kou Tianshi is a Taoist priest, not a monk."

"You don't understand this. The emperor specially gave Kou Tianshi the Tianshi dojo in the southeast of the capital, with five floors of heavy altars. This is bigger than the officials of the Chongxuan Department! And Dawei originally had a fairy workshop for refining hundreds of medicines. Which of the immortal and doctoral officials in Xianfang is not a Taoist priest? Our emperor is good at this, and the national teacher is much more arrogant than the Chongxuan Department!"

"Oh my god," the younger brothers turned pale when they heard this, "If the little master knows that we have fooled her, will he punish us?"

"It's better to be Kou Tianshi, Kou Tianshi never sends letters," Xiao Yi said with a sad face, "Why Kou Tianshi disappeared! This new little national teacher who came out of nowhere, is too troublesome!"

"You are young, and the hair on your mouth is not evenly grown," Xiaojia said, "I became a national teacher, and I was tossing around. I only took office for a few days, and I heard that I was going to advise the emperor to seal the temple. Drive the monk out of the temple."

"Hush—" the guard quickly stopped them, "I don't dare to discuss politics, I might lose my head. Let's think about it quickly, what to do with these letters!" Several people continued to frown, and the guard flipped through the stack of letters , sighed and said, "Why don't we tell the truth to the national teacher, we really can't find any manpower. The national teacher is not unreasonable, Qingliangfeng's debate method also refuted famous people in the world, and many eminent monks were asked by the national teacher to say no." Speak out. Although the little national teacher is young, he is not a faker. Heroes in the world are young! How can the national teacher be guessed by us people."

A few people looked at each other, but they couldn't think of a way.After a long time, I suddenly heard a faint voice from behind, "You haven't sent my letter..."

The guards were so frightened that they lost half of their three souls. When they turned around and saw Master Guo Shi who came back again at some time, his face turned ashen, and he knelt down, "Master Guo Shi, please spare me! The inn really can't find any manpower." , the little ones really can't help it..."

"You only sent me the first letter, didn't you?" Chu Li looked at them quietly, "The first letter was because Princess Shanggu said that you should send it to me urgently, so I didn't dare to delay it, right? I Dare to lie to what I gave you?"

"No, no, no," several people in the post station were sweating and kowtowed, "You little ones dare! I really can't spare manpower. The post station has a rule that three people should be kept guarding at any time, just in case there is an emergency. Master Guoshi, little ones—”

Chu Li scanned a few of them, silently counting in his heart, one, two, three, including the guards, there were only four of them, and sighed, "I won't embarrass you, return my letter to me."

The guard trembled and handed her a stack of letters.Chu Li took the letter, put it in his sleeve, turned around and left without saying a word.The rest of the people in the post station stared at her back in dumbfounded, almost couldn't believe that the national teacher left like this?

Chu Li walked quickly with those letters in his arms, thinking that he still had to ask Princess Shanggu for help.Otherwise, after being out for so long, I only sent a letter to the senior sister, and the senior sister will definitely not spare her when she returns.

The author has something to say:

☆, hairpin phoenix 02

Chu Li now lives in the National Teacher's Mansion.Arriving in Pingcheng, the capital of Wei in early August, she was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, and had no sense of family status, so she rushed to the National Teacher's Mansion as soon as she arrived.However, it is strange that Kou Qianzhi, the national teacher at that time, took her in.Chu Li had no relatives or reasons in Pingcheng, so she didn't think too much about it. Since Kou Tianshi was kind, she also stayed temporarily.Who knew that she had just lived in the National Teacher's Mansion for a few days, and many incidents happened for no reason.

First, when he was strolling in the capital, he offended Princess Shanggu who was dressed casually.After finally reconciling with Princess Shanggu, who knew Kou Tianshi disappeared again for no reason.Who else is the biggest suspect besides Chu Li who suddenly appeared from the National Teacher's Office?She went to jail for it.

Fortunately, I made friends with Princess Shanggu, because there was really no evidence to prove my innocence, so Chu Li had no choice but to follow Princess Shanggu's suggestion and conduct Qingliangfeng debate as a Fangwai expert invited by Kou Tianshi. After the debate, Chuli became famous all over the world. , became today's national teacher.

But where did Kou Tianshi go?Chu Li couldn't figure it out.

"Sister Chu!" As soon as she arrived at the National Teacher's Mansion, Zhu'er put down the bamboo slips and ran towards her.Chu Li smiled and knelt down to look at her, "Don't be too tired from studying, Zhu Er, you are too hardworking."

"Isn't it good to be diligent?" Zhu'er blinked her eyes and tilted her head to look at her, "Sister Chu, are you going to send a letter to Senior Sister again?"

"Yes," Chu Li got up and led her away, "but something went wrong."

"what is the problem?"

"The people at the station didn't send it."

"what?"

"Hey, it's been almost half a year since I sneaked out before I sent back a letter to my senior sister," Chu Li frowned, "I had left a letter and ran away from home, so I must have made my senior sister angry. This is good, The crime is aggravated, and I really don’t know how the senior sister will punish me when I go back.”

"Then what should I do..." Zhu'er also became worried, which made Chu Li smile, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of my senior sister when the soldiers come to cover up the water and soil. I will go to Princess Shanggu for help in a while, and help me send all the letters. Send it back."

Zhu'er's face turned cloudy, "Then senior sister is not angry?"

"It's hard to say," Chu Li pursed his lips, "But it's not that serious. Senior sister often says that life and death are no big deal. Forgive me, she will definitely not forgive me, but she may not be angry." Chu Li smiled. I've never seen my sister get angry before."

"That's good." Zhu'er took Chu Li's hand and said, "Sister Chu, I don't understand something here, take a look—"

One big and one small went to the study room, and Chu Li looked at the line of words on Zhu'er's little finger——restrain its sharpness, untie its confusion, harmonize its light, be the same as its dust, which is called Xuantong.

"The literal meaning is to frustrate people's sharpness, remove their troubles, calm their brilliance, and confuse them with the world. This is to achieve the realm of mysterious harmony." Chu Li said, "in short, it is the way to pursue harmony. .Just like what I said before, I believe in harmony. The good and the evil fight each other and then they can achieve harmony and unity. Knowing and daily life, and harmony is the normal state of things. This sentence is to teach us to eliminate selfish desires, not to show the edge, and to transcend disputes , mix with the world, treat all people and things with an open mind and an unbiased state of mind, regardless of relatives, good or bad, high or low."

Zhu Er nodded thoughtfully, "Is this the same as light and dust?"

"Yes, it is to make people hide their fronts. The Dao is hidden in the world, and we also belong to the Dao. Therefore, if we want to reach the Dao, we cannot specialize. Put your heart into the world, understand the world, and everything is the same, and usually follow the way of heaven and nature. You can get to the road."

Zhu'er bit her lip and said, "Ordinary? That's enough?" Her expression was rather confused and sad.

Chu Li moved, thinking of Zhu'er's life experience - she was the one who rescued Zhu'er while strolling in Pingcheng.

Now it is the fifth year of Taiyan. The current emperor Tuoba Tao is brave and good at fighting. He successively wiped out small countries such as Huxia and Beiyan. The chaotic situation of the disputes among the six countries unified the northern Hus except Rouran and Tuyuhun under the banner of the Wei Dynasty.The only remaining threats on the border of the Wei Dynasty are the small country of Beiliang and the Liu Song and Southern Dynasties that cannot be underestimated.But looking at the situation, Beiliang, a small isolated and helpless country, probably won't be around for long.

When Chu Li wandered around the Imperial Teacher's Mansion, he kept hearing the people in Pingcheng, the capital of the country, praising the emperor's bravery and invincibility in killing the enemy on the battlefield, while not forgetting to twist the beads in his hands.This scene is really ridiculous.Because of the long-term turbulence of successive years of war, the land was full of hunger, and the people had no food or clothing. In the end, more monks became monks in order to survive.Buddhism was extremely prosperous in the Wei Dynasty, and it was vigorously promoted by the founding emperor Wei Tai | Zu Tuobagui, and it was almost the state religion.However, not long after Buddhism was introduced, its foundation was not yet stable, but it was widely sought after, so the believers were extremely crazy, greedy for extravagance, and they still hyped about cutting meat to feed eagles, hanging bodies with iron hooks, skinning scriptures, and burning their bodies. Cruel behaviors such as worshiping Buddha, and because Buddhist temples enjoy privileges such as tax exemption, land, maidservants, and slaves. fanaticism.

Whether it was in Shangluo County, or on the way to Pingcheng, or even the capital city of Pingcheng, Chu Li often saw people cutting off his own flesh to feed birds in the street, bleeding all over his body, screaming, and monks hanging on iron hooks. body, lit a thousand lamps, and sat still for a day and a night.

It's like hell on earth.

But the people were still enjoying it, thinking that they had entered heaven.That day Chuli saw Zhu'er's mother raise a knife towards Zhu'er, the woman was still kneeling on the ground, piously shouting, Lord Buddha, I am willing to dedicate my most precious thing to you!Then he chopped the kitchen knife on the arm of the girl in his arms, the light of the knife flashed, and with the girl's scream, it was already covered in blood.

Chu Li stopped the woman who was screaming and wailing, and when she was arguing endlessly, she was helped by Princess Shanggu, who was in plain clothes, and saved Zhu'er.It was later learned that Zhu'er's father was trampled to death by the cattle because he became a monk to plow the fields for the temple.Her mother also wanted to take her daughter to Western Paradise that day because she had no livelihood anymore.Chu Li only had time to save Zhu'er who was unconscious. When he heard the screams and turned back, Zhu'er's mother had already cut his neck with a kitchen knife, bleeding profusely, and died on the spot.

Pearl has no relatives since then.Chu Li looked at her, as if seeing his former self.Feeling compassionate, he took Zhu'er by his side and taught her how to read and write.

Now looking at Zhu'er with dim eyes, Chu Li stroked her head and sighed softly, "If you study hard and practice calligraphy, enlighten your mind, you won't be fooled like your parents in the future."

"En!" Zhu'er nodded heavily, wiped away her tears, and picked up the bamboo slips again.

Chu Xin felt astringent, and secretly lamented.In today's world, the imperial court is brutal, the people are in dire straits, people are not like humans, and Buddhas are not like Buddhas.The world does not know how many other children like Pearl whose parents have been fooled to death and are homeless, wandering around.This world is really scary.

Every time he looked at Zhu'er, Chu Li missed his senior sister and master more and more.

She was in a similar situation to Zhu Er. Her mother, who was madly obsessed with Buddhism, once raised a knife at her, but she escaped with her life, but there is still a two-finger long dark scar on her heart.Her father is quite talented, but it is a pity that at that time, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system was followed, and the Chu family was from a poor family. Even though her father was talented, he was only a small official in Xiangzhou. She doesn't care.I often tighten my belt with hunger, but I only care about chatting with those poor children who are in the same situation. I don’t dare to talk about political affairs, and I don’t dare to be cynical. Cultivate to become a fairy.Others put it nicely as "clear talk", but Chu Li felt that they were just talking nonsense after being held back for a long time.When Chu Li was eight years old, her father made alchemy for the Xiangzhou family, but was poisoned to death by the elixir he made.

It's just that Chu Li was lucky. Not long after her family was destroyed, Cheng Gongxing, who had worked as a helper in Chu's family, took her in and took her to live in the mountains.In the early autumn of the second year, Cheng Gongxing brought another girl a few years older than Chu Li, who was Chu Li's senior sister Shi Qi.Cheng Gongxing went around as a helper, and he was not seen all year round, but he also liked alchemy.Therefore, Chu Li and his senior sister Shi Yan have been living together for the past ten years. Apart from living in the mountains self-sufficiently, the two also have to refine the elixir according to Cheng Gongxing's requirements.But because of what happened to him, Chu Li hated these things to the extreme, so he was not as obedient as Shi Yan.She often obeys the law, and does not follow the prescriptions given by her master at all. Instead, she picks and chooses by herself, looking for medicinal materials from old medical books to make pills.But fortunately, I can get away with it every time.Chu Li felt that Cheng Gongxing couldn't even distinguish the real and fake pills, so he was even more disgusted and disdainful when Cheng Gongxing asked her if she wanted to become a Taoist and cultivate immortality.

The stupid old man with thick head and thick head doesn't know how old he is, but he is physically strong. When he doesn't help others, he just finds a place to lie down and bask in the sun. He is used to being a shopkeeper with well-developed limbs.He didn't even care about things like alchemy, and threw them all to Chu Li, but he had never seen him take any pills.But what made Chu Li unbearable was that the old man Chenggong asked her if she wanted to practice immortality and Taoism at every turn, and asked her to make alchemy every day.Her own father died on these things that would kill people without paying for their lives, and she herself saw too many people die because of taking pills, and she hated it deeply.Chu Li is now 19 years old. If it hadn't been for the company and persuasion of his senior sister Shi Yan in the past ten years, he would have been mad by the stupid old man Chenggong.She passively resisted the old man Chenggong, and Chu Li pretended to be deaf and dumb whenever this topic was mentioned, with a paralyzed face.The old man Chenggong didn't take it seriously at all, and told her stupidly when he was idle and had nothing to do.

Speaking of which, if the old man Chenggong hadn't mentioned it more and more in the past few years, Chu Li would not have fled to the capital Pingcheng unbearably disturbed.Although the old man Chenggong seems to have not changed for so many years, he is getting older after all, and he has been cultivating immortals and Taoism with Chu Liti more and more frequently. Although he can still fool him about alchemy, Chu Li always finds it very annoying.

One day, the old man Chenggong sat leisurely on the threshold and asked Chu Li if he would like to cultivate immortality with him. Chu Li's ears were covered with calluses, and she still kept her eyes on the common topics and turned her deaf to them.Cheng Gong shook his head and smiled, and asked her what she would do.Chu Li thought about it seriously. For so many years, she either made alchemy or read and practiced calligraphy with her senior sister. Occasionally, she was not proficient in playing with herbs, as if she knew nothing but watching the stove to make alchemy.Cheng Gong laughed and said that if he doesn't know anything and refuses to practice Taoism, he can only become a national teacher.

After speaking, he hurriedly denied it, telling Chu Li not to be a national teacher.When Chu Li heard this, she was curious. Her master is a helper who has no fixed place to live. She is still working in this house today and will go to work in another house tomorrow. Just ask why.Cheng Gong pouted and said that he didn't like the national teacher, and he didn't want to step into the national teacher's mansion for the rest of his life.

Chu Li couldn't help being happy when he saw the aggrieved Cheng Gong's face.So when she couldn't bear being asked by her master every day if she wanted to cultivate immortality like a mantra, she left a letter to her senior sister one day, and then went straight to the National Teacher's Mansion to escape.

Unexpectedly, Kou Qianzhi, the national teacher, is also a lover of alchemy and immortality. Chu Li took Zhu'er to live in the national teacher's mansion, and was very grateful to him.Although he didn't like this way, seeing that Kou Qianzhi was obsessed with alchemy and Taoism, he wrote to him the prescriptions and alchemy experience he had accumulated over the years, and told him not to use them lightly.

Kou Tianshi was shocked and moved, and the gray-haired old man burst into tears with excitement.You must know that this alchemy prescription is a private secret, and it is never revealed to outsiders.Kou Tianshi has been obsessed with Taoism since he was a child, and he is greatly impressed when he sees that various sects of Taoism in the world are doing their own thing.Therefore, I have devoted my whole life to the integration of Taoism, hoping to communicate with each other, so as to reduce the friction and accidental injuries of various factions and achieve the Dao.However, now that his hair is graying, it still has little effect.After all, in today's troubled times, people's hearts are unpredictable, and each faction is for their own self-interest, so how can they be willing to hand over the valuable experience they have worked so hard to explore?Chu Li didn't know if the contribution of prescriptions and alchemy in the past ten years was useful or not, but Kou Tianshi bowed down to her and regarded her as a guest of honor, almost setting up an altar to enshrine her.From time to time, he would ask her to discuss the principles of medicine and the process of alchemy. Chu Li felt distressed in his heart. She ran out because she didn't want to practice alchemy.

But who knew, before she left Pingcheng with Zhu'er, she was arrested by Princess Shanggu for murdering the national teacher.Because on the day she left, Kou Tianshi, the dignified Wei Guoshi, disappeared quietly.

The author has something to say:

Chu Li has been investigating the case of Kou Tianshi's unexplained disappearance.It's really strange, how can a living person just disappear and disappear?Could it be that he has transformed into a fairy?It's a pity that Chu Li doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas.She believed in the thoughts of Wang Chong, a Taoist-based great talent and atheist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and sneered at ghosts and gods.However, why did Kou Tianshi suddenly disappear without a trace?

Chu Li thought about it seriously, she said goodbye to Kou Tianshi the day she was leaving Pingcheng.

When Kou Qianyi heard that she was going to leave that day, he immediately became anxious, "Why are you in such a hurry, little friend? But the hospitality at the house is not good enough?"

Chu Li quickly waved his hand, "No, it's because I've been away from home for too long and I'm homesick."

"Little friend insists on leaving?" Kou Qianzhi is very reluctant, after all he thinks Chu Li is a treasure.

Chu Li was determined.Kou Qianzhi really couldn't keep her, so he had to let her go, saying, "Since you have no return date, Miss, I think it's better for Princess Shanggu to resign."

Chu Li's eyebrows twitched, and Princess Shanggu asked to resign?She's not that familiar with Princess Shanggu, is she?But since Kou Qianzhi said that, Chu Li didn't want to show him face, so he asked her to resign and beat her to death and refused to go, so he left a letter, and finally said, "Tianshi, I have a merciless request." .”

"Miss Chu, please tell me."

Chu Li said, "Because I want to take Zhu'er with me when I go back this time, I don't care about myself, I don't want my child to suffer along with me, it's just that I don't have any trouble..."

When Kou Qian heard this, he quickly said, "What's the problem? Miss Chu, I gave you the box of gold, silver and jewels in your wing room." It was specially released by him to test Chu Li.

"Ah?" Chu Li was taken aback, "Is there... gold, silver and jewelry in my room?"

Kou Qianzhi was also taken aback, "Could Miss Chu not know?"

Chu Li shook her head, she didn't know at all.

Kou Qianzhi was amazed, "It's the nanmu box on the girl's dressing table." He deliberately placed it in such a conspicuous place on the dressing table, but he didn't expect Chu Li to know it at all.

Chu Li said embarrassingly, "I haven't touched it." She knew that she was living in Tianshi Mansion, so she didn't touch anything except the bed in the room.Even for dressing up, she also uses the claw comb she carries with her - she made it herself, and she and her senior sister each have one.And she was dressed very simply, with a robe, shoes, and a small package.Usually, the hair is tied up with a green cloth and hangs behind the back.Clean, clean and refreshing.

Kou Qianzhi stroked his beard and pondered for a while, then asked, "I don't know why Miss Chu went to Pingcheng this time?"

Chu Li was even more embarrassed, and said a little shyly, "It's nothing, I just got annoyed by the master's quarrel, so I ran to the National Teacher's Mansion to hide for a few days."

Unexpectedly
