Great Song

If you want something from others, it is natural to take good care of it.Fortunately, this Daoist Zhen is not difficult to deal with, as long as there is meat for meals and a car for going in and out, he will be satisfied.So Han Zhong didn't delay, and ordered the convoy to hurry up and arrive at Han's residence the next day.

The Han family is a big family in Anyang, who have been officials for generations.Now the most famous person in the family is Han Qi and Han Xianggong, who was in charge of the two dynasties and was a general and prime minister, but he is as famous as Fan Wenzhenggong (Fan Zhongyan), and his status in Anyang is needless to mention.The Han family has always lived together in a family, and hundreds of children live together to share the wealth, and the food and clothing are equal. Han Xianggong even married more than ten orphans, and raised his nephews more than his own sons.No matter how rich the prime minister's salary is, such a large family cannot afford to support him.Therefore, the Han family has to choose disciples to manage the family property on their behalf.

It's just that in the previous generation, the person in charge of the Han's firm was not the Dazong, but the offshoot of the Han's who separated early.The descendants of this branch of concubines are called "Western Han" because they live in Hexi, and they started doing business in their early years.When it came to Han Yushi, the patriarch of the previous generation, he was even more skillful and good at making money. He was valued by Han Xianggong, and he entered the Han family's large business as a partial house.

Han Yu lived up to the great trust of the clan elders and the prime minister. He handled countless amounts of money every year, but never took it. This made Han's business expand several times, and he had a mansion with fertile land that could not be seen at a glance.Last year, Han Yu died of illness suddenly, and the family business was passed on to his son Han Miao, but the business couldn't do the same.Han Miao is only in his twenties now, and if he wants to control the Han family's foundation, how can the clan agree?Suddenly, many uncles and brothers appeared, wanting to get involved.

In order to consolidate his position and regain control of the firm, Han Miao has been traveling all year.However, his parents died, his younger brother went out to study, and Han Miao has not married yet.The old grandmother who lived alone at home was inevitably lonely, so she put her mind on praying to God and worshiping Buddha.It's fine if it's an ordinary temple, but it's a trivial matter to meet wild monster monks and cheat money, and if you get hurt, you can die.

Therefore, Han Miao took this matter very seriously. How could Han Zhong, who had returned from his command, dare to take it lightly?After getting off the carriage, he cautiously invited the fairy elders to enter.

Although he is not a direct descendant, after all, Xihan has been in business for several generations and has accumulated a lot of family business.This mansion is extremely spacious, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery, a lake was dug in the courtyard, and a rockery was erected. In the scorching summer, the garden is full of lotus flowers, which is indescribably quiet and pleasant.However, such a unique courtyard is also versatile in front of Zhen Qiong. He has no interest in admiring the beautiful scenery. He just wants to complete the task quickly so that he can take the bounty and go to Changchun to report.

After walking with this Daoist Zhen for two days, Han Zhong had already touched his temper a lot, and persuaded him to wash and change clothes first.After arranging the "immortal head" and finding out the news about the wild Taoist, Han Zhong entered the back house to meet the old lady.

Mrs. Han was just like usual, chanting scriptures and worshiping gods in the inner hall, the whole room was filled with smoke and clouds, ignoring the appearance of the world.Fortunately, the old man always misses his children and grandchildren, and when he heard the big housekeeper begging to see him, he immediately invited him in.

"Miao'er is back? Where is he?" Mrs. Han asked anxiously as soon as they met.

Seeing that the old lady's complexion was not bad, Han Zhong was relieved a little, and said: "Your Excellency is still in Jingzhao Mansion, and I'm afraid he won't be able to return until half a month later. This is the Liao ginseng that the Lord respects the old lady. The slave brought it back first."

As he spoke, he presented a beautifully carved wooden box with both hands.These days, Liao ginseng is more expensive than gold, and you can tell that it is a good product just by looking at the length of the box.

However, how could Mrs. Han be in the mood to watch this?She waved her hand to let the big maid take the box, and she thought to herself: "You old people can go to the boundary of Shanxi Road and so on. How can Miao Er go there in person? Next time, we can't risk it again..."

This time Han Miao went to the Baoding Army Discussion Field on Shaanxi Road, at the junction of the Song Dynasty and Xixia, and it was an important place for trade between the two countries.It's just that the two countries have been in war for decades, and the border has been opened and closed, closed and opened again, and it has been repeated countless times.It was reopened a few years ago, and the flames of war have never ceased.Facing the barbarians of Xixia that even Han Qi and Mr. Han could not defeat, how could the old lady feel at ease?The grandson insisted on going, but still didn't come back, she was almost anxious!

Going to the border to discuss this matter is not only to collect the property left by the old master, but also to deceive those who have evil intentions.Han Zhong couldn't say it clearly, so he could only claim to be right, as if he was listening to the training with his ears.

When the old lady was finally tired, he hurriedly said: "This time when the old slave came back, he happened to meet a priest on the way. He was not very old, but he was proficient in magic. The old slave invited him back..."

As soon as she heard that there was a Daoist leader, Mrs. Han was really interested, and hurriedly said: "Since there is a fairy leader, don't hesitate to invite me!"

Seeing that the old lady was interested, Han Zhong immediately asked Daoist Zhen to come over.Not long after, Zhen Qiong arrived in front of the hall in a new dress.The original green robe has been replaced with a feather coat, light and elegant, automatic in the absence of wind, with silk sash around the waist, hairpin crown and hair, a small face is washed white, the eyes are black and the lips are red, and the charm is beyond the dust.

Mrs. Han has reached the age of hearing, and she loves this kind of child the most, she couldn't help but said happily: "Where did the fairy boy come from? He really looks good!"

After coming to the Song Dynasty, Zhen Daochang, who was half a foot shorter and lost two circles of weight, felt uncomfortable when he heard the word "Xiantong".But looking at the very expensive clothes that were sent by others, he held back anyway, and bowed to the old lady politely: "Xiaodao has seen the old lady."

Seeing how well-behaved he was, Mrs. Han smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, Xiantong sit down quickly. I don't know where Xiantong is practicing?"

"You can't be a fairy boy. Xiaodao's surname is Zhen and Qiong, and the old lady can call me by my first name." After correcting a bit, Zhen Qiong said, "This time I am going to Changchun Temple. There is an uncle who works in the temple. My teacher asked me Go get acquainted."

As soon as she heard that it was from the Changchun temple, Mrs. Han's eyes lit up: "The elixir of the Changchun temple is very effective. Is Daoist Zhen also cultivating the golden alchemy way?"

"What is a golden core..."

Just as Zhen Qiong was about to instill correct ideas, unexpectedly a servant outside the door suddenly reported: "Old lady, Immortal Yang is asking to see you."

As soon as Immortal Master Yang, who had been concentrating on alchemy, came out, Mrs. Han couldn't help but stood up, and said repeatedly: "Quick! Invite Immortal Leader!"

He was interrupted in the middle of the conversation, and the person who came seemed to be much bigger than himself, Zhen Qiong couldn't help frowning, and turned his head to look.A middle-aged Taoist priest with a purple-brown robe and a yellow crown strode in.He is tall and thin, with a long face and a beautiful beard. Coupled with his fine clothes, he really has a fairy air.

As if he didn't see anyone else, the Taoist gave Mrs. Han a slap in the face, and said with a smile: "Today is a beautiful day, and it turned out to be a pill. Poor Dao came to congratulate the old lady."

Mrs. Han has been waiting for the elixir for some time, but she suddenly heard about Cheng Dan today, she couldn't help stepping forward two steps with joy: "Really? But longevity pill?"

"Longevity medicine needs to be turned nine times, how can it be done in a short time? But this Xiaohuandan also has the power of refreshing the mind and refreshing the mind. Taking it in bitter summer is the most nourishing." Yang Daoren flipped his hand, and a red pill Appearing out of thin air in the palm, smooth and round, with a hidden golden glow, the appearance is really not bad.

Oops!Standing aside, Han Zhong broke out in a cold sweat.This demon way is really cunning, I am afraid that he heard that he invited the fairy leader, and took the time to come out to offer pills.The old lady must have been overjoyed after waiting for so long, if she ate it, would it be okay? !

Just as she was about to speak out to dissuade her, she saw Zhen Qiong who was sitting on the side jumping up against the case, angrily scolded: "What kind of Nine Turns, repaying pills, it's a murder for money! How dare you call yourself a Taoist priest?"

This remark shocked everyone in the room, Mrs. Han froze in place, not knowing whether Xiao Huan Dan should accept it or not.How could she have imagined that this little Taoist priest who was like a fairy boy would directly accuse Jin Dan of being a forger and suspected of murdering his life!

On the other hand, Taoist Yang did not change his face, and stroked his long beard leisurely: "Why does this little friend need to be alarmist? The art of golden elixir has been passed down for thousands of years since the Han Dynasty. They are all fools, they only know about pills, but they don’t know how to take pills, which is why they caused trouble. Pindao’s alchemy method is passed down from Sun Zhenren’s lineage, so it’s the most stable, how can it hurt people?”

The name of Sun Simiao and Sun Zhenzhen in Tang Dynasty was well known to all women and children.Seeing that the Immortal Elder was so calm and relaxed, Mrs. Han hurriedly smoothed things over: "Daoist Zhen has just arrived, and I have never seen Immortal Elder Yang concocting alchemy and casting spells. I am afraid I have misunderstood..."

Zhen Qiong sneered: "What is the misunderstanding? Doesn't he use lead and mercury to make alchemy?"

Yang Daoren is also an old Jianghu, and when he heard this, he immediately laughed: "True mercury and real lead are so rare, and ignorant juniors naturally don't understand the magic of the golden elixir. My elixir is the magic method of "turning sand into gold". The combination of water and fire, and the return of metal to pills can make medicine!"

Hearing his bragging, Zhen Qiong just said "Oh": "Then lead and mercury are used? Eating lead hurts the liver and kidneys, and mercury disrupts the mind. They are all very poisonous. If you eat too much, you will always have abdominal pain and palpitations. Insomnia and headaches. If overdose, there is the risk of sudden death. If you don’t believe me, check the dentition of those who have taken the pill, if blue and black thin lines appear, it is a sign of deep poisoning.”

Mrs. Han heard from her children and grandchildren that the golden pill hurts the body, but no one has ever said it so clearly, even such a thing as the dentition line, it really does not seem to be fake!Startled, she withdrew her outstretched hand.Those who want to live forever are afraid of death. Naturally, they dare not try such a terrible sign of poisoning.

Seeing Mrs. Han retreating, Daoren Yang's face darkened: "Little friend, you practice the inner alchemy method? The so-called erysipelas is just that the medicinal properties of the sun and the sun have not been blended, and the technique is not perfect, so it will kill people. Don't you wait Concentrate on studying, but give up the great way and go astray, do you still want to delay the longevity of others?!"

"Inner alchemy?" Zhen Qiong shook her head disdainfully, "I'm learning the great way of good fortune. Alchemy is only for introduction. Purifying foreign objects and developing new products are the methods of studying nature, not for eating."

What is Good Fortune Avenue?Daoren Yang frowned, which was beyond his expectation.If someone who cultivates the inner alchemy talisman, it is common to belittle the outer alchemy; those who practice the golden alchemy are just taking the opportunity to suppress themselves and want to make money.But alchemy is not for taking, what kind of routine is it?Isn't this overturning the table and smashing the rice bowl?

But being forced to this point, it is impossible for him to back down.With a cold snort, Daoren Yang raised his chin: "You are ignorant! The poor don't want to argue with you. Since you have your own skills, why don't you fight with the poor to see who has the most magical power?"

He had inquired a long time ago, this West Han is the home of merchants, rich but not powerful, it is the best place to make money.Now there is only an old woman with soft ears living alone at home. If you don't take this opportunity to make a fortune, can you let it go?I don't know where this kid came from, so he can only fight first!

Hearing the liar's invitation to fight, Zhen Qiong laughed angrily.Did he learn alchemy for nothing in the past ten years? What other tricks can he use to bluff him?Not to mention there is a bounty, even if there is no bounty, this kind of bitch will have to be beaten up!

Rolling up his long sleeves, he bared two rows of small white teeth: "Come on! Are you still afraid of you?!"

The author has something to say: Daoist Zhen: Hehe, I’ve never seen someone who is delivered to your door for a slap in the face!

The Song Dynasty was indeed a time when Golden Alchemy declined, mainly because too many people died in the Tang Dynasty. Since the Song Dynasty, the Inner Alchemy Fulu School has become the mainstream of Taoism.But Daoist Zhen is not afraid of this. We believe in science and don't eat blindly. Alchemy is still very useful.
