Chapter 45: The one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon
Stroking the grass to find a spring,
A stream of spring water.
……
Zhao Ji was unhappy and summoned the ignorant eunuch Li An.
Li Shishi's pretty face was slightly red, she lowered her head shyly, and used her jade hands to tidy up her slightly messy hair.
Li An, the eunuch who announced the decree, reported: "The slave has invited Wen Yi Zhenjun according to the official order, and she is waiting in the courtyard."
Zhao Jidao: "Announcement."
The gentle-footed Wen Yi Zhenjun walked into the hall and made his first appearance.
Zhao Ji knew that this female Taoist priest, whose real surname was Cao, was given the title of "Zhenjun Wenyi" by the original owner of her body in the early years, so she was known as Cao Wenyi or Cao Xiangu.
Cao Wenyi looks like she is only in her thirties or forties. She is slender and wears a loose Taoist robe cut from high-quality fabrics, making her look as thin and graceful as a fairy.
Her black hair was mixed with a few strands of white hair, which made the time traveler Zhao Ji feel a bit like the hair color deliberately dyed by those who pursued non-mainstream in later generations.
Cao Wenyi has a good eye for beauty. The skin on her face is smooth and fair, except for a few fine lines of wrinkles on her forehead.
If you don’t know Cao Wenyi’s age, I’m afraid they will think of her as a charming woman in her thirties.
However, Zhao Ji, the top student in the history department, knew that this famous female Taoist priest from the Northern Song Dynasty, who was famous throughout the ages, should be one hundred and eleven years old this year.
Cao Wenyi comes from a famous family. She is the granddaughter of Cao Bin, a famous general under Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.
When she was young, she was a talented woman, well-read and had a photographic memory. Although she was born into a family of officials, Cao Wenyi saw through the world and did not want to be bound by worldly things. When she was twenty-one years old, she resolutely chose
Escape into Xuanmen and practice Taoism at Yuhua Peak.
When Cao Wenyi was practicing Taoism, he devoted himself to studying the method of alchemy and worked on Nudan. His alchemy revealed the spiritual source, pure and natural, and harmonious internal movement. He was not in a hurry to kill the red dragon and was free of the poison of lead and mercury. He also wrote a book suitable for
The alchemy formula for female Taoism practice "Lingyuan Dao Song".
Combining the memories left by his original owner, Zhao Ji also knew that the character of Wen Yi Zhenjun in front of him was particularly good, he was charitable to the poor, and he was pure and devoid of desire for himself.
Cao Wenyi was summoned to Beijing a few years ago. Zhao Ji's original owner Huizong wanted to build a large-scale palace for Cao Xiangu. She went to plead not to build it too big. Three small tile-roofed houses could have enough space to worship the Three Qing Dynasties.<
/p>
In the eyes of the time traveler Zhao Ji, Cao Wenyi's moral character is noble and his belief in Taoism is sincere. Unlike the demon Dao Lin Lingsu who has been imprisoned, he uses Taoism for personal gain.
After Zhao Ji exchanged a few words with Cao Wenyi, he changed the subject and said: "I invite True Lord Wenyi to come here and I have something to ask of you."
Cao Wenyi took a look at Master Li, who was standing next to Zhao Ji, and said with a smile: "The officials are here today to summon the poor Taoist to have an audience. Could it be that the officials are doing it for this beautiful woman beside them?"
Even the time traveler Zhao Ji admires Cao Wenyi's vision and analytical ability.
Zhao Ji did not tell lies in front of real people, so he was worried about the oiran Li Shishi living in a brothel. Therefore, Zhao Ji wanted to carry forward the spirit of helping others and wanted to summon Li Shishi into the palace...
However, there is a strict system in the palace, and he will never be allowed to bring the oiran Li Shishi into the palace.
Zhao Ji told Cao Wenyi:
He wants Master Li to worship you, Wen Yi Zhenjun, as his disciple. In that case, as a disciple, Master Li can legitimately accompany his elderly master Cao Wenyi in and out of the palace, and even stay in the palace for a long time...
"Haha..." Zhao Ji said this and thought to himself: If Master Li is successfully brought into the palace, in that case, the one who is closest to the water will win first.
When Zhao Ji finished speaking, Cao Wenyi thought for a while before speaking leisurely:
"Eleven years ago, on the occasion of Pindao's 100th birthday, Pindao had made it clear to the world that he would no longer accept disciples.
However, since it was the official who spoke, Pindao was willing to make an exception.
What's more, the poor Taoist still has something to do and wants to give advice to the officials..."
Zhao Ji asked in confusion: Why do you want to remonstrate with Zhenjun Wenyi??
