Chapter 519 Talking about life and death with Ying Zheng
Xianyang Palace
Ying Zheng was very happy when he received the good news from Wei, but he was not in good spirits.
The waiter outside the main hall trotted in and said: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master has arrived."
Lu Yan came in and saluted, "Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng waved the irrelevant people away and walked down, "Sir, the Kingdom of Wei has been destroyed. Wang Ben's army is just a matter of hands to seize the Korean land, so there is no need to worry. I want to help my mother's coffin go to Handan."
Zhao Ji's body is now contained in a black ice coffin, and her appearance has not changed. Ying Zheng followed his mother's last wishes and wanted to bury her back in the ancestral grave in Handan.
Lu Yan hesitated and didn't know how to reply.
What do you tell me about this kind of thing...
"Your Majesty, you can send someone to sort out the good people in Handan first, so as not to disturb the Queen Mother's Majesty."
Ying Zheng was a little surprised, he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "Hahaha, I thought that Mr. Zhao would not let me go north on the grounds that Zhao's territory was not yet stable and Han's territory still needed to be recovered."
Lu Yan keenly felt the sorrow in the laughter of the King of Qin in front of him, and shook his head, "The king helps the Queen Mother's coffin to return home. It is natural and natural. How can I object to it."
"Okay. Please sir, please send the Luowang organization to station in Handan. After I have paid my respects to the clan elders, I will support my mother's coffin and set off."
"Words of command."
After he saluted and was about to leave, Ying Zheng followed and stopped him.
"Sir, you once said that we, the Qin Dynasty, can forge an immortal sword. Time flies, and six or seven years have passed. Zhuangzi said: My life has a limit, but I know it has no limit. If I have a limit, I will follow the limitless. I am a mortal like us.
He is trying to perform immortal feats with his own body. All of this, sometimes seems a bit unreal to me."
Ying Zheng clasped his hands behind his back and looked diagonally upward from the main hall to the sky. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Lu Yan felt that today's Ying Zheng was strange, but he couldn't explain why. He said: "Concrete and tangible things will be lost, but spiritual and intangible things will be immortal due to human inheritance.
Your Majesty ended the war, unified the world, united the scattered hearts, and formed a new nation. For thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, as long as the people on this land still exist, everyone will remember the immortal achievements of the Qin Dynasty today."
"National consciousness, China? The spirit depends on the inheritance of mankind for immortality; that is, as an individual, human beings cannot avoid the death of the body and cannot achieve immortality."
"..." Lu Yan felt that this topic suddenly became a bit dangerous.
Why did Ying Zheng pessimistically mention that people cannot avoid death? Doesn’t he want to live forever?!
Ying Zheng couldn't hear his voice and continued: "I heard that what Taoism calls life and death is just the change of Tao. There is a theory of seeing through life and death. What do you think, sir?"
Since the other party wanted to listen, Lu Yan could only continue: "Seeing through life and death is a transcendent perspective. To a certain extent, he is completely different from what people often say about living."
"Appreciate further details."
"When ordinary people live, they first satisfy the needs of the body to survive. Living is alive, and dead is dead. The body no longer moves, and self-awareness also dissipates.
To see through the two forms of life and death, the existence of life and death does not rely on the physical body, but relies on the invisible and intangible Tao. The physical body can distinguish life and death, how can the Tao be divided?
Ordinary people see the world from the perspective of their own bodies, while enlightened masters see the world from the perspective of their indescribable spirit. There is no comparison between the two."
Ying Zheng sighed, "I see. So seeing through life and death is just a subjective spiritual denial of the death of a body. Even if you think death is the return of life, you can't change that in this world.
The physical body forever loses the ability to move. Unless someone can prove that the spirit can exist independently of the physical body."
That's true, but why do I always feel that there is something in Ying Zheng's words?
Lu Yan thought of Zhao Ji they had just mentioned, and a terrifying thought popped into his mind: Could it be that he wanted to save Zhao Ji's death?
"I summoned Mr. Wang to the palace. After saying so many things, Mr. Wang was tired."
Hearing what Ying Zheng said, he knew it was time to leave.
"Your Majesty, you should not be like this. Please leave."
…
Walking out of the palace, Lu Yan looked solemn. He didn't know what today's conversation would develop in King Qin's heart...
When he arrived at Luowang headquarters, he summoned everyone and prepared to make arrangements for going to Handan.
The trendy banshee offered a cup of tea and reminded softly: "Sir, your face looks a little ugly."
Lu Yan took the cup, looked at his face reflected in the tea, glanced at her, and put the cup down again.
The Chao Banshee was stared at so hard that her scalp went numb, and she said aggrievedly: "There's nothing wrong with her complexion, but her aura is a bit scary."
Mo Crow and Ying Ge were the first to arrive. When they saw Lu Yan's expression, they looked at each other and saw the caution in each other's eyes.
On one side, Songlong, Qi, and Ji, except for Tian Meng who was seriously injured and still lying down, Tianzi and others were all present.
"Tide Banshee, you are most familiar with Handan. With you as the leader, we will lead the people back to Handan quickly."
What! Here again? You want to send me out again and then ignore me for a few years?
"Come with me, Ying Ge, Duan Shui Jian Ji, Chaos Shen Jian Qi. Each of you will bring your own killer-level team."
Chao Banshee was still a little emotional at first, but she suddenly woke up after Yingge and the two words Tianzi came out one after another.
Zhao Guo has been captured, why do I need to bring so many masters with me when I return to Handan? What happened?
Ying Ge let go of Mo Ya's hand and asked seriously: "Sir, what is the mission of this trip?"
Lu Yan told the two intelligence chiefs Yingge and Chao Banshee seriously: "Your mission is still to monitor. In Handan City, Zhao Guogong's office, nobles, and the whole family must not be left behind. All the troubles and snares in Zhao's rivers and lakes must be known.
.”
Yingge nodded in understanding, "Please don't worry, sir."
Chao Banshee also smiled sweetly and said that she would definitely keep Handan under the trap and make everything transparent.
"Your Majesty is about to visit Handan. If you find out that there is a threat, you can take action to eliminate it, but you must not hurt the hearts of the people of Zhao. If you encounter trouble, report it to me as soon as possible. Once you respond to the news, you will report it one day at a time."
King Qin is going to Handan, no wonder he is so cautious.
Ying Ge and Chao Banshee took orders respectively.
"You can leave. Songlong, please stay for a while."
Song Longzi was a little surprised, wondering what Lu Yan was going to do if he was left alone.
"Master National Preceptor, what's important?"
Although Lu Yan didn't have a sword in his hand, the power of the sword had already shaken Song Long's hand to the point where it groaned softly in its scabbard.
"What is your relationship with Baopuzi?"
Song Longzi's eyes widened in disbelief, "Where did you learn about this, sir? Teacher, he has not shown up for at least thirty years."
"Teacher...so, you exposed some information and stayed here to continue being a spy?" Lu Yan narrowed his eyes and struck the opponent with the force of his sword like a waterfall.
His strength has improved too much...
Feeling the fatal threat, Song Longzi couldn't help but take a step back, "Master National Preceptor, where do we start talking about this spy!"
"Do you dare to say that you have no contact with Baopuzi?" Lu Yan stared at the other party's eyes after asking. With his current eyesight and perception, the other party would never think of lying at this moment.
Song Longzi cried secretly in her heart: Teacher, didn't you say that Lu Yan would never notice it? If I don't tell the truth now, I'm afraid I'm really going to die~
He could only give in and said honestly: "Your Majesty, the National Master knows everything. I do have a way to contact the teacher."
"Tell me, what is the purpose of Baopuzi? I'll listen." After Lu Yan said this, he threw out the Qinggan Sword with one hand.
