Han Shizu

Chapter 297 Sleeping Fairy
Liu Chengyou's burning eyes are full of earnestness, but his appearance clearly has another deep meaning.Old Taoist Chen Tuan still remained calm, his face seemed unaffected by the cold winter, and a warm smile still hung on his face.

Under the gaze of the Son of Heaven, the old Taoist said leisurely in a tone that sees through everything: "Your Majesty thinks too highly of the poor Taoist. The poor Taoist is no more than an ordinary old man with a pair of naked eyes. The capital of the emperor."

Seeing the old Taoist evading, Liu Chengyou asked playfully: "I heard what the Taoist said, I don't have the resources to seek immortals and Taoism?"

Hearing this, the old Taoist suddenly gave a salute, and looked at Liu Chengyou calmly: "Your Majesty, do you want to live forever?"

Liu Chengyou was surprised at first, and then became more "interested", his eyes became colder, and Yan Yan smiled: "Does the Taoist priest have a law of longevity to pass on?"

Shaking his head slowly, the old Taoist replied frankly and concisely: "A poor Taoist has neither the secrets nor the methods of health preservation. There is really no alchemy to pass on."

"I heard that Daoist Master has been concentrating on bigu for more than [-] years, but he drinks several cups of wine every day, and he can't afford it for more than a hundred days in every sleeping place. Isn't this the magic of the gods?" Liu Chengyou asked curiously.

"Although I love to sleep, there are rumors in the village. Your Majesty has the insight to argue clearly!"

Satisfied with Chen Tuan's sincerity, Liu Chengyou breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped making unnecessary moves like probing, mainly because he felt that his performance was superfluous in the face of the old Taoist's insightful eyes.

After a pause, Liu Chengyou Su Rong said to Chen Tuan: "Cultivating immortals to seek longevity, for this ethereal and lofty matter, my ambition is not there, so I don't have extravagant expectations. However, longevity is not available, and longevity may be hard to find. This is the key to prolonging life. Dharma, presumably the Taoist master has some experience, and I hope you will give me some advice."

It can be said that Chen Tuan, a Taoist priest, fully satisfied Liu Chengyou's image of a "Taoist".And he is particularly interested in his regimen, which has tangible effects, and he is right in front of him.

Lao Dao finally cast a surprised look at Liu Chengyou, perhaps because of his rationality, or because of his "honesty".After thinking for a while, Chen Tuan said: "Your Majesty is the lord of the people, shouldering the responsibility of the world, and practicing the way of the emperor. The law of poverty, pure heart and few desires, sleeping in the open, I am afraid it is not suitable for Your Majesty."

Liu Chengyou said: "It doesn't matter. Stones from other mountains can attack jade, the way of the Taoist priest, or the way of my emperor."

Two people, it's quite like a discussion.

"Your Majesty is rich in spring and autumn."

"You'll always grow old. The way to keep fit and healthy is not to be afraid of getting old!" Liu Chengyou interrupted Chen Tuan for the first time.

Seeing this, the old man's expression finally changed slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Liu Chengyou, he was a little confused, this young emperor was obviously very rational, why he loved the method of health preservation so much despite his young age.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Tuan took out an old booklet from his robe, and said: "This is "Chapter 81 of Zhixuan" written by Ping Dao Xianlai, and it describes the method of guiding cultivation and returning pills. helpful."

Zhang Dejun immediately stepped forward to take it cleverly, checked it a bit, and handed it to Liu Chengyou very carefully.I glanced at it, and found that the album was nameless and not very thick. I opened it and read it a little, but I couldn't understand it.

"Thank you for the book, Taoist priest, I will study it carefully."

Sophisticated with equanimity.

But in Liu Chengyou's heart, he was not surprised by the "treasure book". He asked about the method and Chen Tuan, and he was more curious and experimental.As the old Taoist said, the method he practiced was not suitable for his "Road of the Emperor".

The method of keeping in good health is both simple and complicated, but many things are easier said than done.Liu Chengyou, a secular emperor, is in troubled times and the country is in trouble. If he wants to imitate Chen Tuan's way, it is basically wishful thinking.Liu Chengyou knew this in his heart.

"By the way, I heard that the Taoist master has the art of turning stones into gold." Putting away the book, Liu Chengyou stared at Chen Tuan again.

The corner of the old Taoist's mouth twitched again, and he cupped his hands and said with great emotion: "Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and you should take care of it. How can you commemorate the matter of yellow and white? With your majesty's wisdom, how can you take it seriously?"

"Yellow and white things are also related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. I am deeply annoyed by it recently." Liu Chengyou waved his hand immediately: "The quality of a stubborn stone is hard to turn into real gold. However, if a stone contains the essence of gold, silver, copper and iron, is it possible for the Taoist priest to hold it?" Don’t have the technique of enlightenment?”

Now, Chen Tuan understood what the Son of Heaven meant, and said: "If Your Majesty wants to refine the method, the poor way is not good at it."

Seeing that it didn't seem like a fake, Liu Chengyou didn't go into it, and he just asked casually.On the contrary, from his answer, Liu Chengyou felt that this old Taoist was not a "magic stick", everything seemed very honest, and he deserved to be "a master of Taoism".

"I summoned the Taoist priest to enter the palace to explain the Tao and the Dharma. I also admire the Taoist priest's practice, but I listen to it!" After rambling, Liu Chengyou finally got to the point and made a request to Chen Tuan gesture.

The old Taoist looked as usual, and said: "The poor Taoist likes to read "Yi", and over the years, I have occasionally gained something."

"Let's try to talk about it." Liu Chengyou made a concentrated expression.

Under the "encouraging" gaze of the Son of Heaven, Chen Tuan said leisurely: "The change is a big change, and the change is not seen. It is invisible to the eyes, unheard to the ears, and not to be followed, so the day is changed."

Facts have proved that Liu Chengyou does not have the talent to understand those profound Taoist thoughts, or lack of patience.After listening carefully for a while, he lost his concentration and began to think about matters that he was more interested in, such as the imperial army, money, towns, and border defense.Just to avoid being rude, Liu Chengyou's face was still tense.

Old Daoist Chen Tuan was aware of Liu Chengyou's change, stuck in about two quarters of an hour, took the initiative to stop, got up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and the poor Daoist should not disturb you, so I will leave!"

Hearing the sound, Liu Chengyou immediately came back to his senses, there was a flash of embarrassment, but it didn't affect much, and he opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Listening to the Taoist preaching, it's like bathing in the spring breeze, like bathing in the rain. I deeply feel the vastness of the world and the infinity of the avenue."

"I have learned a lot from talking with the Taoist priest. I want to keep it in the court, and I will always answer questions." Liu Chengyou said: "In this way, I will regard the Taoist priest as a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and I will wait for the imperial edict."

Facing Liu Chengyou's award, the old Taoist slowly shook his head a few times, and said in a sincere tone: "Your Majesty, a poor man from the mountains and the wild is useless at the time, and he is not a man of the world, so he dare not be in the court. Please take it back, Your Majesty." .”

His brows were slightly wrinkled, but Liu Chengyou didn't "difficult" him because he felt the firmness in the old Taoist's steady tone: "So, that's really a pity. Well, Daochang lives in Huashan in seclusion, and I will give you Shaohuashan as a gift. Dongfu, another name Xiyi!"

Chen Tuan was unavoidably stunned, but he soon regained his composure, looking displeased with things.However, facing Liu Chengyou's reward, he did not refuse, and saluted leisurely: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although gold and silver treasures are used to corrupt the old way, just one name and one mountain is enough to show the emperor's respect and favor.Of course, Chen Tuan probably guessed some of Liu Chengyou's thoughts. After all, the signs of destroying the Buddha and suppressing the Buddha are already very obvious. Among them, Shi Hongzhao in Luoyang is the most important.

Seeing that the Taoist no longer refused, Liu Chengyou nodded again in satisfaction, and said: "The Empress Dowager is also very happy to hear that the Taoist is here. If you want to meet him, you can go to the Hall of Renming."

A mission was assigned to Chen Tuan, and the old man did not refuse.

　There is something wrong with my body, I need to take a good rest, I can't sit for a long time, and I try to update it as much as possible.
