After the concubine took the script of the son-in-law

Shen Ji ran home and asked Li Yunyao to dismantle Li Babai's trick together. Li Yunyao asked her: "You haven't met that alchemist yet, how can you be sure that he is a liar?"

Even if Yan Shu can come from a later life, she also has a system in her body, and all kinds of strange and chaotic things happen before her eyes, how can she judge that there is really no one who has lived to be [-] years old in the world?

Shen Ji sneered: "I really lived to be [-] years old, can I use this as a gimmick? Is the horizon so short?"

Her mother is still the author of the book, and she has insight into the overall situation, so she didn't run to yell at herself as a prophet!

"This kind of person has already come out to boast that he knows the way of longevity when he lived to be two hundred years old, so why would he wait until he is eight hundred years old to come out and deceive him?"

Li Yunyao smiled: "Then how do you expose him?"

"Since he claims to be 800 years old, he must be very clear about the past [-] years, and you happen to know astronomy and geography, so you can pretend that you are thousands of years old..."

Li Yunyao thought it was a good idea for her, but she didn't understand: "Why do you have to expose him?"

Shen Ji then told Li Yunyao about the alchemist fooling Xue Zhengan into alchemy.

Many people think that alchemy is also a part of Chinese medicine, because there are many medicinal materials in it, even the most poisonous arsenic|scent can be used to cure diseases and save lives, so the elixir refined from Chinese medicinal materials is also safe in their opinion.But Shen Ji didn't believe this.

Li Yunyao, who knew the advancement of medicine in later generations, did not believe in alchemy, so she became curious about alchemy when she heard that a prudent person like Xue Zhengan was curious about alchemy, and she had to face up to the consequences of indulgence.

"In that case, let's go meet Li Babai for a while!"

-

It is not difficult to know where Li Babai is. Zhao Guangyi became Kaifeng Yin, and he had a staff member named Chen Congxin who helped him manage the accounts.

This person is quite capable. Once, Chu Zhaofu, the envoy of the third division, needed tank ships to transport the grain from Huainan to Bianliang because of the shortage of grain in Taicang, so he asked to call up troops from various places to transport it, but was scolded by Mr. Zhao.In the end, Chu Zhaofu had no choice but to ask Zhao Guangyi for help, and Chen Congxin came up with an idea to finish the matter for them without using troops or recruiting all civilian ships, which was unanimously approved by Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Boss.

It is such a capable person, but he is very obsessed with alchemy. After Li Babai appeared in front of him, he did not know what method Li Babai used to convince him.He took Li Babai to live in his home, treated him cautiously and respectfully, and only hoped that he could learn fairy arts from him.

Shen Ji brought Li Yunyao, Xue Ji and a group of people to Chen's house, saying that he wanted to learn more and see what an [-]-year-old immortal looks like.

This group is all well-known dandies in the capital, and Shen Ji is the son of the prime minister who is favored by Boss Zhao. Chen Congxin has nothing to evade, so he introduced Li Babai to them.

Shen Ji looked at the alchemist in Taoist robes with a childlike face and white hair, and asked, "I heard that you are [-] years old, and Peng Zu is only [-] years old, so your immortal skills must be better than Peng Zu's?"

Li Babai knew that Shen Ji didn't believe in him, but it didn't matter, many people didn't believe that he was [-] years old at first, but in the end they chose to believe in him because of the greed in their hearts?

He said: "Peng Zu is the great-great-great-grandson of Zhuanxu, and he learned the way of longevity. He lived to be [-] years old. This old man only got eight hundred years old by chance when he learned Peng Zu's technique."

He also told how Peng Zu's way of maintaining longevity was spread and handed down one by one, in such detail that Chen Congxin's eyes lit up.

Shen Ji had a strange expression on his face, and said: "What you said just now is from "Baopuzi Peng Zu Jing". Not long after this book was printed and published, you can memorize it fluently. It is really amazing."

What Shen Ji was talking about was not the volume "Baopuzi Zhiyao" in "Qunshu Zhiyao", but the original work "Baopuzi".Since her dedication, many people have become interested in the original works contained in the two volumes of Qunshu Zhiyao, and Baopuzi has also been republished thanks to Qunshu Zhiyao publishing.

Li Babai frowned with displeasure on his face: "I have learned this technique more than 700 years ago, why do I need to memorize "Peng Zu Jing"?!"

He didn't expect Shen Ji to be able to say that his content came from "Baopuzi", and he was very guilty. Therefore, in Shen Ji's view, he was harsh and indifferent, with no momentum at all.

"Then do you still remember the year you were born, where is your ancestral home, and who are your parents?" Shen Ji asked again.

"I am not a prisoner, you are so rude, I will not accompany you!"

Li Yunyao hurriedly called to him: "Master Immortal, don't be as knowledgeable as we are, I am just very interested in the events of those 800 years."

Shen Ji also said: "Yes, in the past 800 years, there have been many missing and unknown things in the history books. If you can tell them personally, it will definitely make up for the lack of historical materials."

Li Babai also knew that if he insisted on evading, he would definitely attract suspicion. Fortunately, he had also read history books, and he liked to listen to history, so with this ability, he won the favor of many people. trust.

So he said: "If I remember what you want to know, I will definitely explain it to you in detail."

Li Yunyao smiled and said: "800 years ago should have been the Xiping period when Emperor Xiaoling reigned in the Later Han Dynasty. According to the records of the immortal master, it was the Guanghe period a few years later. I don't know when What is the living environment of the immortal master, how is the court, and how can the common people have enough to eat?"

Li Babai thought to himself, this is not a problem for him, he said: "How can I remember so clearly what happened more than 800 years ago? I only know that the world was chaotic at that time. Cruelty, excessive taxation, and unspeakable suffering for the people. I remember that the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out at that time..."

Listening to Chen Congxin's familiarity with that period of the past, as if he had really experienced it himself, he became more and more convinced of his origin.

Shen Ji and Li Yunyao were no different, but Xue Ji was sitting on the sidelines bored and eating fruit, assuming he was here to listen to the story.

Li Yunyao chatted with him from the Three Kingdoms to the end of the Tang Dynasty. Whenever Li Babai didn't agree, he vaguely said that he had forgotten and couldn't remember so many things.Later, he said impatiently that he had retreated for many years and didn't know much about the world. Chen Congxin listened to the whole process, although he didn't doubt Li Babai, but he was also full of doubts about Li Yunyao: "Why does this lady treat you so well?" Are things so clear in these 800 years?"

Only then did Li Babai realize that Li Yunyao had been talking to him about the past 800 years. Although she often asked him in an inquiring tone, she had actually been revealing this period of time. He had been thinking about how to lie, but No distractions to think about it!

Shen Ji smiled and said: "Of course it's because my wife is also 800 years old! No, she not only lived [-] years, but also lived thousands of years. She knows astronomy from above and geography from below. She knows everything about creating humans!"

Li Babai: "..."

Chen Congxin was dumbfounded: "Really, really?"

"As for keeping in good health, oh no, the way to keep in good health, not to mention my wife, I also understand." Shen Ji told the old Zhuang's learning mixed with some Taoist ways of keeping in good health.

Every time she said a word, Li Babai's expression became unsightly. At the end, Shen Ji said to him: "I think you have also studied, why don't you follow the right path and want to bluff here!"

Chen Congxin was silent, because even Shen Ji knew the secret of longevity, so what Li Babai said was right or wrong?

Li Babai finally couldn't hold back, and said angrily: "The old man said that you young people are uneasy and kind, and have never believed me! If you don't believe me, why come looking for me?!"

Shen Ji grinned and said: "You are already [-] years old, you should take care of many things, why are you fussing with us juniors?"

Li Babai choked, but didn't know how to refute.

After hearing the story, Xue Ji also knew that Li Babai couldn't pretend anymore, so he said, "Here you play tricks and trick my father into talking about alchemy and longevity. See if I don't find someone to kill you!"

Li Babai naturally knew his identity. If he knew someone who was more respected than Xue Zhengan, he would naturally not be afraid of Xue Ji's threats, but he only relied on Chen Congxin, and Chen Congxin was even in front of Xue Zhengan. How can he find someone to protect himself if he is not worthy of lifting shoes?

Thinking of this, his face turned livid, and he hurriedly left here as if he didn't want to get entangled with Xue Ji.

He acted like this, how could Chen Congxin fail to see that this was a liar, and he saw that he was addicted to alchemy, so he came to bluff and cheat, eat and drink? !

Xue Ji said to Chen Congxin: "This man is a liar, and I hope Chen Yaya will go and tell my father the truth."

Of course he could go and tell Xue Zhengan that Li Babai was a liar, but Xue Zhengan didn't believe him before, no matter what he said, it was just a waste of time.But Chen Congxin said it was different, Xue Zhengan must believe that he was also deceived!

"We still have to arrest him. After all, if he leaves, he can still go to other places to bluff. I heard that many swindlers live in the master's house under various guises. After falling in love with the female family members of the master's family, they will know Have evil thoughts. In order to avoid more such things from happening, we should be vigilant and sound the alarm for the world." Shen Ji said.

Chen Congxin was not very willing, because if he came forward, wouldn't it mean that others would know that he was deceived?

Xue Ji didn't force it either, Shen Ji said: "It's easy, I'll go back with you and tell Uncle Xue!"

"Can you believe what you said?"

"That's sure to be believed!"

So Shen Ji took Li Yunyao and Xue Ji back to Xue's house and met Xue Zheng'an.Shen Ji chirped and told Xue Zheng'an how Li Yunyao forced Li Babai to show his true form, and finally concluded: "If he really lived to be [-] years old, then my wife would be the longest-lived person of a thousand years old." the person!"

After hearing this, Xue Zhengan looked at Li Yunyao in surprise, thinking: He is really close to Zhu Zhechi, Shen Ji married this Li family, and became a well-spoken scholar.No wonder Shen Shunyi gave up this old face and wanted to marry Mrs. Li for her son.

He regretted that his daughter-in-law was not as knowledgeable and talented as Li Yunyao, otherwise he would be able to discuss knowledge with his son.But being with excellent people, sooner or later he will become excellent. His son has improved a lot compared to before, and there has been no news of him messing around recently. What is there for him to be dissatisfied with?

"Then what do you think of this alchemy technique?" Xue Zhengan asked Shen Ji and Li Yunyao.

Shen Ji said: "The alchemy is divided into internal and external. The outer alchemy is taken by refining gold and stones. It was proposed by the "immortal family" of the Hundred Schools during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Later, the alchemy school was developed, which mainly refined the outer alchemy. This Ge Hong, who wrote "Baopuzi", developed the Jindan school on this basis, he advocated that Jindan has nine pills, and believes that these nine pills are the key to longevity..."

"The inner alchemy uses the human body as the alchemy furnace, and gathers the inner alchemy with the essence, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body and immortality. Compared with the outer alchemy, the theory of inner alchemy is more popular nowadays."①

Xue Ji also said: "I don't know what inner alchemy and outer alchemy are, but I know that there are no alchemists in this world who can live forever!" Let's say that five emperors in the Tang Dynasty died after taking elixir. Even the famous Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty took pills and died of a sudden illness, father, don’t believe in any magic pills!"

Xue Zheng'an asked him: "Tang Taizong died by taking elixir?"

Xue Ji has reason and evidence: "It is recorded in the "Book of Tang"."

Xue Zheng'an said with a smile: "You can remember the "Book of Tang", which means that your knowledge has improved a lot, but I'm afraid you didn't remember it well. The "Book of Tang" records that Taizong was seriously ill and took pills. It was invalid, and finally died of illness, and it was not said that it was caused by the elixir."

"Even if Taizong didn't die because of the elixir, then Xianzong, Mu Zong, Wuzong, and Xuanzong all died of sudden illness after taking the elixir, right?!"

Xue Zhengan looked at him with relief, and he recognized what he said: "You are right."

"Since father also believes that pills are impossible to help longevity, then father should stop indulging in this way."

As soon as Xue Zhengan became interested, he was dispelled by Xue Ji's words from continuing to study the elixirs. He nodded: "Okay, I am very satisfied with your performance today, so I will listen to your persuasion. I Don’t indulge in this way, but you still have to read this book.”

……

It can be regarded as killing Xue Zhengan's alchemy plan in the cradle, and Shen Ji and Li Yunyao also retired.

On the way back, Shen Ji held Li Yunyao's hand, and the corner of his mouth never let go. The latter asked with a smile, "Are you so happy after revealing the true face of a liar?"

"What is this? I'm glad you were praised by Uncle Xue! To praise you is to praise me, so I'm naturally happy!"

Before they left, Xue Zhengan praised Shen Ji for marrying a good wife who was knowledgeable about books and etiquette, and also praised Li Yunyao for being smart and talented.

Shen Ji said: "My lady, why don't you accept some female disciples too! I don't think there is any problem in teaching others with your talents. Since the morals of the world don't give women the opportunity to compete fairly with men, then we will create opportunities."

The author says:

Shen Xiaoji: merit +1
