Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 257 What? Teacher, are you an immortal?

"That was obviously fifty or sixty years ago, but teacher, you..."

Wang Luo immediately closed his mouth.

All the doubts that I had not noticed before emerged at this moment.

Why has the teacher's appearance almost never changed in the past few years? Why does the teacher's two disciples always look like that whenever I see them?

And...why the teacher always comes and goes without a trace.

"Teacher, are you..." Wang Luo was shocked.

"What am I?" Qin Tian couldn't help but feel a little funny.

This is the dullest disciple he has ever had.

It took me so long to realize that I was different from ordinary people.

At this point, Qin Tian also became interested: "Is it possible that you and Brother Sun have been studying together for so long, and you have never thought that Brother Sun is not an ordinary person?"

"Look at him, he is still in his prime at seventy or eighty years old. Haven't you ever thought that he is actually an extraordinary person?"

"What? Master Sun is already eighty years old?" Wang Luo looked at Sun Simiao in shock again.

Sun Simiao laughed loudly: "To be precise, I am already eighty-six years old!"

Wang Luo continued to be shocked: "How could this be? I always thought Master Sun was only forty or fifty years old!"

Wang Luo had thought about Sun Simiao's good looks, but he never thought that Sun Simiao was so old!
Qin Tian was a little silent.

He thought it was because he had less contact with Wang Luo that he didn't notice his abnormality.

But now it seems that this guy is simply too slow to react, so he never knows where the abnormality is.

Wang Luo's eyes were blank: "Yes, only non-ordinary people like you can have such knowledge!"

After learning Qin Tian's true identity, the gap between Wang Luo and Qin Tian became less.

Wang Luo began to ask what it felt like to cultivate immortality.

The immortals in the legend are all aloof, but Qin Tian behaved in front of Wang Luo like a normal person.

Oh no, there is still a difference...

Wang Luo recalled the process of getting along with Qin Tian.

Sometimes Qin Tian would suddenly disappear inexplicably, and sometimes Qin Tian would suddenly appear, leaving people confused.

Moreover, Wang Luo had never seen Qin Tian angry. His face always seemed to have an indifferent expression or a smile.

……

Qin Tian rarely had this kind of experience of communicating with ordinary people about his cultivation life, and he started to chat for a while. Several people chatted while eating and drinking, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

"Master Qin has seen Qin Shi Huang?" Wang Luo asked in a fuss.

"That's right." Qin Tian smiled slightly: "Before he became terminally ill, he did have a relationship with Ying Zheng."

"Then did Qin Shihuang find the elixir of immortality?"

Obviously, Wang Luo is also very curious about this matter.

According to rumors, Xu Fu found the elixir of immortality for Qin Shi Huang, but no one knows what happened next.

"Really?" A hint of reminiscence appeared in Qin Tian's eyes: "The secret must not be leaked!"

Wang Luo was a little disappointed, but he quickly put it behind him.

"Did Master Qin ever meet other people? For example, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang? And the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"

Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han were the eternal Mingjun recognized by everyone for thousands of years. He was the ultimate dream of countless kings and the object of allegiance to countless ministers.

Qin Tian shook his head slightly: "I have only met Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. There may be some connections with others, but I didn't pay attention to him."

After a pause, Qin Tian continued: "Actually, the emperor is not much different from you and me, and from millions of ordinary people in the world."

"In fact, when faced with temptation, they don't perform as well as ordinary people."

Wang Luo obviously found it difficult to accept this statement.

In his perception, the emperor was a saint and the emperor, but he was different from ordinary people. How could he be no different from ordinary people?

Qin Tian smiled.

The only difference between the emperor and ordinary people is their different origins.

The same temptation is fundamentally different in the eyes of different people.

If you put immortality and a thousand pieces of gold in front of ordinary people, 90% of ordinary people will choose the former.

Because even if ordinary people live forever, they still have to go through thousands of years of labor and hardship before they can stand up again.

Rather than wanting the illusory eternal life, it would be more practical to have a thousand pieces of gold.

At least he can live his life comfortably.

But if you put the same thing in front of the emperor, eleven out of ten people will choose immortality.

Because a thousand gold coins are worthless to them, the emperor can't afford a thousand gold coins?

They don't lack things to begin with, let alone choose.

The reason why some people can be so calm in the face of temptation is just because the chips and direction of your temptation are wrong.

If you put a piece of meat in front of a sheep and a tiger, their reactions will be completely different.

Therefore, in Qin Tian's view, all people in the world are actually the same. When faced with temptation, there is actually no difference in how most people behave.

Wang Luo had reservations about this.

He believes that it is those who can stick to their true intentions in the face of so-called bargaining chips that can highlight the difference between gentlemen and brats.

Qin Tian did not refute Wang Luo's statement.

In his opinion, Wang Luo's statement was actually not wrong, and there was nothing wrong with what he said himself.

If a person's ambition is to manage the world and benefit the people, then what is his temptation?

In Wang Luo's eyes, temptation is nothing more than glory, wealth and high official salary.

But in Qin Tian's eyes, the temptation is not official position, not glory and wealth, but the matter of managing the world and benefiting the people.

Nothing in the world is without value. If you can't buy what you want, it's just because the price is not enough.

This sentence seems very cold, but it is not impossible to prove.

"If you are asked to kill an innocent person for money, I believe that most people with conscience know that it is wrong.

But if you are asked to murder the life of an innocent passerby because of the lives of your parents, wife, and children, this multiple-choice question does not seem to be that difficult.

Look, that's the price. "

Qin Tian said slowly: "I don't deny the shining of human nature, but in my opinion, one should never overestimate or underestimate human nature."

Wang Luo was silent. He felt that what Qin Tian said was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"Now there is a choice before you. Suppose a carriage carrying the emperor and a dozen ministers is speeding towards him, and there are two roads in front of him."

"There is one person on one road, and five people on the other. Now you have a horse in your hand, where will you choose to put it?"

"This doesn't seem to be a difficult choice." Qin Tian smiled: "But if I tell you, which person is your child?"

"Or are the other five people your family?"

"So what should you do at this time?" Wang Luo fell into deep thought.

This is what moral dilemmas look like, making people trapped in a dilemma.

Seeing Wang Luo thinking hard, Qin Tian couldn't help laughing.

"Do you have any answer?" Wang Luo couldn't help but ask.

Qin Tian smiled and shook his head: "No, I don't have the answer."

"Because if it were me, I'd give the person who asked that question a punch in the face."

Qin Tian patted Wang Luo on the head: "There is nothing in the world except for the troubles of mediocre people."

Wang Luo nodded thoughtfully.

This was Qin Tian's advice to him before leaving.

But now, Wang Luo felt that he probably understood what Qin Tian wanted to express.

When walking outside, even if Wang Luo is just a doctor, he will encounter many problems.

Many times he would even have to fall into a dilemma.

What should we do at this time?
The first advice Qin Tian gave was not to think too much and never overestimate the dangers of human nature, but never underestimate human nature too much.

Therefore, Wang Luo needs to preserve himself at this time. If he is gone, there will be nothing.

Many problems seem unsolvable, but in fact it's just that the price you gave is not what the other party wants.

As long as a reasonable price can be given, most of the problems can be solved at this time.

The remaining small part of the solution was the second advice Qin Tian gave him.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem.

Behind most dilemmas, there is actually a mastermind behind the scenes. No matter whether the mastermind behind the scenes is tangible or invisible, the worst case scenario is that the table will be turned over and I won’t play anymore!
For those situations where the table cannot be lifted, Qin Tian also has one last piece of advice.

"Actually, you can leave Juma alone and take away the people on those two roads, right?"

This was the last answer given by Qin Tian.

If you can't even lift the table, then just take the people on the table and leave. The problem can still be solved after all.

"Escape is shameful, but useful."

With the advice given by Qin Tian, ​​Wang Luo embarked on a journey around the world.

Wang Luo's lifespan was not long, and there was still a gap between him and Sun Simiao.

He only lived 126 years old, but from birth to death, he completely witnessed the founding and rise of the Tang Dynasty, witnessed Wu Zhao seize the throne, and watched her be ousted.

In the end, he lived in seclusion during the prosperous period of Kaiyuan and no longer paid attention to external affairs.

After witnessing all this, he closed his eyes with satisfaction.

But he didn't know that in just a few years after his death, the situation in the Tang Dynasty took a turn for the worse, and then ushered in the Anshi Rebellion, and began to go downhill.

Wang Luo's achievements in his life can be described as brilliant.

He founded the foundation of modern biology, founded the Wang School, and led the development of biology for thousands of years.

He and Sun Simiao are jointly regarded as the fathers of modern biology and medicine. The research methods they used are still widely recognized and used until 800 years later.

History reached a turning point at this moment. For thousands of years thereafter, countless people were spared from diseases because of Wang Luo and Sun Simiao's research.

The average life expectancy in the world has been increased by half because of their research!
However, due to lagging behind in other aspects of research, after a century of rapid development, biological research has stalled.

It was not until thousands of years later that science and technology once again experienced rapid improvement that biology and medicine once again ushered in rapid development.

Due to the factors of the times, many studies had gaps during the turmoil, so that many future studies had to start from scratch.

This has also become a regret for countless scholars in later generations.

……

After parting ways with Wang Luo, Qin Tian's journey also temporarily came to an end.

He took his two disciples to Luoyang, the divine capital.

Originally, Qin Tian planned to return to Chang'an City, but Muchun's cultivation was approaching a critical point.

Qin Tian calculated that Mu Chun's fate was in the Central Plains, so he took Mu Chun to Luoyang, the divine capital.

This is the cultural center of the Tang Dynasty, and it is one of the places where the destiny of the human race has been most condensed for thousands of years.

This is also the place where Muchun should be robbed.

So Qin Tian brought Muchun to Luoyang, preparing to welcome her disaster.

After the tribulation was over, Muchun's cultivation would be smooth, and Qin Tian no longer had to worry about Muchun's cultivation.

And Qin Tian can also benefit from this thunder disaster.

This is the first thunder catastrophe in this world since the beginning of the world, and Muchun will become the first practitioner in this world to truly break away from the ordinary world.

Qin Tian cannot be included because he was different from a normal practitioner from the beginning.

Rather than saying that he is a practitioner, it is better to say that Qin Tian has been deeply bound to the way of heaven since he started to practice.

If the world gains benefits and the world level is promoted, Qin Tian's upper limit will naturally be lifted.

Therefore, Muchun is the first practitioner in the world to truly overcome the tribulation. Needless to say the benefits.

It was so critical that Qin Tian could not be cautious.

Muchun needs careful cultivation, so Qin Tian did not choose to live in seclusion among the people as before, but chose a Taoist temple as a place to live in seclusion.

This place has the smell of fireworks in the human world, but it won't cause Muchun's mood disorder due to being too close to the human world.

But Qin Tian never thought that he could meet her in this Taoist temple.

Unlike the original atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty that valued Buddhism, the Tang Dynasty in this world did not pay too much attention to Buddhism. Instead, it had an extremely strong interest in Taoism.

One of the reasons is Qin Tian.

Because Qin Tian has always been dressed as a Taoist, and most of the changes he brought to the world were in the image of a Taoist, so most dynasties in this life attached great importance to Taoism.

Wu Zhao is no exception.

To be precise, since he had been neighbors with Qin Tian for a long time when he was young, Wu Zhao also had a strong interest in Taoism.

She wanted to know if there really were immortals in this world.

Moreover...Wu Zhao also knew what he was doing.

When she was in power, she was very fond of using cruel officials, so she killed many people.

In addition, in order to consolidate her power, she eradicated dissidents and killed countless people directly or indirectly.

If you don't do evil things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Wu Zhao has done too many evil things, so she feels very guilty.

At a fixed time every year, she would go to the Taoist temple to pray.

It stands to reason that at this time the Taoist temple should clear out all irrelevant people and just wait for Wu Zhao's arrival.

But in order to ensure that no one would disturb him and allow Muchun to practice and prepare in peace of mind, Qin Tian set up formations in his courtyard to make people ignore his existence.

Anyway, they don't need to eat or drink, and they don't have the daily needs of normal people, as long as no one disturbs them.
