A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 156 Shen An, who is indifferent to fame and wealth

When I went to someone else's house to be a guest, I met my son who was trying to teach me a lesson and even made a move.

This is a bit embarrassing!

Shen An was ready to exit.

"An Bei, come in."

Zhao Yunrang sat up straight and said solemnly: "Thirteenth Lang and Zhong Zhen stay, the others... get out!"

Shen An quickly pressed against the door and watched as Lao Zhao's descendants rushed out quickly.

When he walked in, Zhao Yunrang pointed to his side and motioned for him to sit down.

This was a rare treatment, but Shen An sat down calmly.

Zhao Yunrang picked up the bell, looked at Shen An with a slightly raised eyebrow, and asked, "Real person?"

Shen An shook his head and said: "A real person can only live in the mountains, and the worldly world has made Daluo Jinxian fall."

Zhao Yunrang's eyebrows were filled with satisfaction. He nodded and said: "I have many years of experience, but I have never seen a young man like you who is so unfazed by pampering and humiliation. It's rare!"

Shen An shook his head and said: "I won't say whether I am flattered or not, but I am unwilling to refine elixirs and practice Taoism."

Zhao Yunrang looked at Shen An carefully and suddenly laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

There was more joy in the laughter, and Shen An stood up and held his hands.

"good!"

Zhao Yunrang's face turned red and shouted: "Bring the wine!"

Shen An resigned, and Zhao Zhongzhen followed.

"Brother Anbei, what did you say to me, Wengweng?"

"You Wengweng asked me if I wanted to be a wooden statue of a god in the temple, or if I wanted to be a good man who wanted to be happy and vengeful. I said I wanted to be a good man and wallow in the world of mortals."

Zhao Zhongzhen was a little confused. Shen An reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said: "A real person must not eat the fireworks of the world, otherwise how can he be a real person?"

Zhao Zhongzhen stood there, Shen An didn't care and just walked forward.

He hoped that Zhao Zhongzhen in the future could focus on the state affairs of the Song Dynasty, instead of thinking about how to extend his life like the current Zhao Zhen.

Lead, mercury, lead, mercury, that is not a magical elixir, but a life-threatening talisman!

The so-called real person must be open-minded and spotless. He looks at all the discords in the world but does not take them into his heart at all.

Pink is like a skull, mundane is like a phantom, everything is just a passing cloud. It is a fault to be arrogant and extravagant, and it is a fault to be content with poverty. Whether you are an emperor or a general or an ordinary person, life is always just an experience and never has eternity...

But those who practice Taoism can keep the clarity of the spiritual platform, look at the world with cold eyes, watch the sun rise and set as usual, time seems to have frozen, but they are gradually aging, and then realize the meaning of life.

Those people should not be stained with the world of mortals.

But Shen An wanted to wallow in the world of mortals.

He wrote a letter and had it sent to Izumo Temple.

She Hui was sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, thinking about the coking coal recipe given by Shen An. She took the letter and read it, but Shen An said that he had no Taoism and was afraid of deceiving the world and stealing his reputation, and asked him to send someone to inquire when the officials came to inquire. He just said that he just gave him a incomplete prescription.

"this……"

She Hui remembered the method for making coking coal given by Shen An. It was not some incomplete elixir recipe, but a good thing that all alchemists dreamed of.

So what’s the explanation for this?

The only answer is that Shen An doesn't care about these false names at all, and he doesn't want to use his reputation as a profound Taoist to invite favors and gain benefits from officials.

"What a brother Shen Dao who is indifferent to fame and wealth! I am ashamed of myself, I am ashamed of myself!"

Just as he was about to put down the letter, someone came to report from outside, saying that someone from the official family was here to ask questions.

"Let him come."

Later, a chamberlain came into the alchemy room, said hello, "The official would like to ask, does Shen Daizhao know how to make alchemy?"

"Alchemy?"

She Hui believes that refining elixir is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the equipment and elixir fire.

And Shen An's prescription is the guarantee of Danhuo.

It has been many years since alchemy was transformed from wood fire to charcoal fire.

By the beginning of this dynasty, coal gradually began to be used in various aspects, including alchemy.

If you just use coal to make elixirs, the smoke and dust will billow, and the firepower is not stable enough.

According to Shen An, once the coking coal is refined, the temperature... let alone gold refining, steel refining will be no problem.

The temperature is high and stable.

As a senior thermal energy expert, She Hui thought about it and felt that this recipe was a treasure!

But there seem to be only a few small coal mines around Bianliang, and most of the coal used in Bianliang is transported by water from elsewhere...

You have to visit carefully!

"Real person...real person..."

"ah!"

She Hui came to his senses and said, "What Shen Daizhao is practicing is the way to enter the world, but it has nothing to do with alchemy."

The way to join the world!

The meaning is too obvious.

Shen An is just playing in the mortal world, not a serious Taoist.

The chamberlain returned disappointed. Later, the palace got news. It was said that the official family was so sad that they had lost a good Taoist friend that they didn't even have lunch.

Shen An finally found peace, but when walking in Yulin Lane, the eyes of the neighbors were not quite right.

"Master!"

Who can make Shehui visit as a guest, who is not an expert?

"Brother, I'm afraid."

Guoguo didn't like this look, so she pulled her brother's sleeves.

Aunt Chen followed on the other side, looking around cautiously.

Shen An took a look and saw awe, curiosity, envy, jealousy...

This is how people are, if something good happens to someone else’s family, it’s none of my business!

This is just watching the fun, plus envy, jealousy and hatred.

Think about it when I was a kid, my neighbor bought a big TV, but my own was a small black and white TV. The mentality was probably similar to that of my neighbors today.

But desire is the driving force for human progress. What is life without desire?

Salted fish!

Shen An smiled and nodded at the neighbors, thinking that you should work hard quickly and turn Yulin Lane into the richest area in Bianliang.

By that time, the real estate in Yulin Alley will definitely skyrocket, and you can make a lot of money by selling it.

That’s all!

Shen An quickly gave up the idea. UU read www.uukanshu.net

In the traditional Chinese concept, everything can be sold, except residence.

"Wait for the order to go out!"

The first person to say hello showed up.

Shen An said with a smile: "Yes! I went out for a walk with my sister."

The man who asked the question felt that he had won the first place, and his heart was filled with joy.

"Are you going to Daxiangguo Temple when you are waiting for the imperial edict?"

a woman asked cautiously.

This is a big shot chatting and laughing with Master She Hui!

Will he pay attention to me?

Still dismissive.

The woman looked over with some anxiety.

Shen An held Guoguo with his left hand and smiled at the woman: "Yes, let's go to Daxiangguo Temple. It's almost the end of the year and it's lively there."

The woman suddenly felt relieved, and a sense of familiarity among the neighbors returned, and she said: "There are many thieves and thieves over there, so I have to keep an eye on the little lady."

She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, thinking that she was just waiting for an imperial edict, and she was a Taoist expert. If there was anything going on when she went out, she could just count it with her fingers. What's wrong with you?

"yes!"

Shen An said with emotion: "The most hated person in the world is a kidnapper. If caught, he will be beaten to death."

"That's right, those kidnappers are the most hateful. The parents who lost their children must be very sad!"

"Those officials in Kaifeng Prefecture are also idlers. They can't catch all the kidnappers and thieves. This is dereliction of duty."

"Yes, we have to ask Ouyang Xiu next time we meet him..."

"I heard that Ouyang Xiu has bad eyesight?"

"It's not good. Last time I rode my horse, I almost hit my stall..."

"Then did he compensate you? The high official is rich! You should lie on the ground, just say that your bones are broken..."

A test between neighbors eventually turned into a gossip, which has long gone off the topic.
