Although Old Man Zhao remained sitting on the chair and did not get up from the beginning to the end, Bao Songlin didn't mind at all, and his eyes looking at Old Man Zhao were always full of gratitude and excitement.
He continued to tell everyone: "Three years ago, I felt that my time was running out. I wanted to walk around while I could still move, and take one last look at the great rivers and mountains of our country. Unexpectedly, I suddenly collapsed on a mountain in northern Sichuan.
Well, there was no ropeway on that mountain at that time, so you could only go up and down the mountain on foot, and the mountain road was steep, making it very difficult to go up or down the mountain, so I was very desperate at the time and thought I was going to die there."
Bao Songlin looked at Old Man Zhao and said with a smile: "Who would have thought that I just met Master Zhao and his disciples? When Master Zhao saw me lying on the ground, he not only fed me the secret medicine he had collected to help me survive the disaster, but also later
He used the secret technique of heaven to help me extend my life for three years without taking any penny or any reward. It is really admirable. A high-minded and upright person like Master Zhao is rare in the world. It can be said that without Master Zhao, there would be no me.
Today in Bao Songlin, what makes me most happy today is that I can see Master Zhao again. My first dream has finally come true. I have no regrets even if I die now! Master Zhao, let me toast you again!"
Old Man Zhao picked up the wine glass again. This time, he not only took a sip of wine, but also showed a smile on his lips, "You don't have to be so polite. You have served the people your whole life, educated the world morally, and developed a noble and upright spirit. Otherwise, I wouldn't
I will help you, so if you want to thank me, thank yourself."
People including Qian Jianjun and others immediately followed Mr. Zhao's words with words of praise, praising Mr. Bao's great achievements in his life.
But Bao Songlin waved his hand and said: "I am self-aware. Although I have not done any bad things in my life, I have only done a limited number of good things. They are just self-denial and devotion to public service. Compared with those great scholars who truly educate the world morally, I am far behind."
.If I hadn’t met Master Zhao and his entourage by chance at that time, my old life would really have been lost in a foreign land and would not end well. I will definitely not forget Master Zhao’s kindness for rebirth. Since I have come to our Yunzhou this time, please also
Master Zhao, please stay a few more days and let me fulfill my duty as a landlord."
After saying that, Bao Songlin said to Qian Jianjun on the other side: "Jianjun, you are now our parent officer in Yunzhou. I will leave the task of settling Master Zhao and his party to you. Do you think it is appropriate?"
Qian Jianjun said with a smile: "Of course it's appropriate. No matter what position I hold, I will be your old student all my life. The teacher dares to disobey the orders. Besides, Master Zhao is also your savior. As a student, I will definitely
Please entertain Master Zhao and his party, otherwise I will never have the dignity to say that I am your old student in the future."
"Okay, okay!" Bao Songlin smiled and nodded repeatedly, looking very satisfied with Qian Jianjun's answer.
Qian Jianjun also raised his glass and offered a toast to Old Man Zhao, and then asked: "Master Zhao, can you tell us about life renewal? In addition, I just heard that you renewed the teacher's life three years ago.
Three years, now three years are about to expire, can you help the teacher renew it one more time?"
At this point, Qian Jianjun laughed and said, "Of course, no matter what request you have, you can make it. As long as I can do it, I, a student, will try my best to help you. You may not know that my teacher is
I have suffered too much in my life, and I finally enjoyed a few years of blessings in my later years. Moreover, our current development in Yunzhou cannot be separated from the support of veterans like Mr. Teacher. We all hope that he can see more of our Yunzhou.
Please give us more advice and suggestions for development."
As soon as he finished speaking, not only everyone else around the round table stared at Old Zhao attentively, but even Bao Songlin himself looked at Old Zhao nervously.
It was undeniable that he invited Old Man Zhao over today. In addition to expressing his gratitude to him, another very important purpose was to get Old Man Zhao to help him survive. After all, no one wanted to die, and Bao Songlin was no exception.
Old Man Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "It's difficult!"
Bao Songlin's face froze immediately, Qian Jianjun was also stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Master Zhao, does that mean there is still hope?"
Old man Zhao looked up at Bao Songlin and said, "I remember telling you last time that the so-called extension of life is not like borrowing life from ghosts and gods in myths and legends. That is a myth and does not exist."
Bao Songlin nodded, "You did say that, and you also said that extending life actually uses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish the essence of the human body. The reason why I can extend my life for three years is because I have insisted on nourishing and practicing Qi for many years, and the essence in my body has not been exhausted."
Old Man Zhao nodded, "Yes, that's the truth. A person comes into existence from scratch, and there is a trace of original energy in his body when he is born. But when he gets old and frail, this trace of original energy will be exhausted. If
It is almost impossible to extend his life. If he really has that kind of ability, it will definitely be a fairy-like method. My abilities are limited and I cannot achieve this level."
Bao Songlin looked disappointed and laughed twice, "Forget it, I'm already eighty and zero, many people can't live to my age, and I've lived three more years out of thin air, and I'm satisfied!"
Qian Jianjun added: "Master Zhao, from what you just said, it seems that it is still possible. Can you think of another way?"
Old Man Zhao frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and was about to speak when suddenly a chuckle came from the other side. Although the sound was very small, Old Man Zhao could still hear it clearly because of his amazing ears.
This small hall is not only a banquet table for Bao Songlin and Old Man Zhao, there are also two small tables for ten people. The chuckle just now came from the round table on the left, and it was Gang and Zhen who laughed.
Han Jinsong, whose aunt came in not long ago.
Han Jinsong didn't know that Old Man Zhao had heard his laughter, and with a look of contempt on his face, he continued to whisper: "It's just pretending to be a ghost, and it's just pretending to be real."
If Qin Hai were here, he knew that when Han Jinsong said these words, Old Zhao would definitely go crazy, because what this old man hates most is that others doubt him.
As expected, Old Man Zhao's face immediately became serious, he stared at Han Jinsong and snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "It has been more than a thousand years since I founded the Maoshan Sect. As the leader of the Maoshan Sect, how can I still talk nonsense?"
In an instant, Old Man Zhao and everyone at the table all turned their attention to Han Jinsong. Han Jinsong was startled. When he saw that Qian Jianjun's face had turned dark, he suddenly thought something was wrong and wanted to do something for him.
He defended himself a few words, but he didn't know what to say, and Old Man Zhao didn't give him a chance to defend himself.
Old man Zhao took out a jade talisman from his pocket, held it in his hand and said with a straight face: "This is the jade talisman refined by the elders of my sect. Now I will show you what Maoshan Taoism is."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and immediately looked carefully at the jade talisman in Old Man Zhao's hand. They saw that the jade talisman suddenly bloomed with a misty yellow light, which became stronger and stronger. At the same time, there were sudden bursts of cool breeze in the small hall.
When you blow it, it's like the scent of musk, refreshing you.
At this moment, the jade talisman suddenly flew up from Old Man Zhao's hand, and finally hovered in the air, like a small sun.
Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe their eyes.
The yellow light lasted for about half a minute. Old Man Zhao reached out to fish it out, put the jade talisman into his hand, and then asked calmly: "Does anyone still say that my Maoshan Taoism is all fraud?"
