Early the next morning, the former prince's funeral was held.
It was supposed to be a funeral hosted by the king himself, but the host was Dong Huazi. During the grand ceremony, brother and sister Li Qinglin and Li Qingjun stood aside in silence. Li Qingjun cried until his eyes were swollen, and Li Qinglin had no expression on his face.
His thoughts had already drifted to the palace, where his father was summoning Qin Yi.
My father's health has been deteriorating in the past two years. Yesterday's banquet was already very hard for him. This morning he was no longer able to participate in the rituals and was recuperating in the palace. However, my father himself did not feel that his health was getting worse. On the contrary, he often felt that his spirit was getting better.
alright……
Li Qinglin sighed softly. He turned to look at his crying sister, and he felt a little conflicted in his heart.
At the same time, I hope that my sister can always be so romantic, and at the same time, I hope that she can become mature and sensible... She doesn't understand anything, and she is so stupid that it makes people irritated, but if she really understands, it might be the beginning of the brother and sister's antagonism.
It sounds like I'm a little envious of Qin Yi, who is calm and has no pursuits, which saves him a lot of worries.
Over there, Qin Yi was led to the dormitory by the palace servants. He felt extremely uncomfortable along the way.
It was obvious that he could not bring his mace with him when he went to the dormitory. He left the tassel in his guest room when he went out and hid it very carefully in the center of the wooden sword formation. After thinking that he had hid the tassel properly, he felt uncomfortable as soon as he went out.
, something is missing.
It's like forgetting to bring your mobile phone when you go out before time travel... It's even worse. I feel like my heart is half empty, and my hands are itchy. I almost want to carry the eunuch next to me in my hand.
This is the first time since time travel that I have left Liusu.
Fortunately, I have gained a lot of knowledge in Taoism recently, and I will not show my timidity easily. Divination is just a bit of common sense, and it is similar to Donghuazi anyway. Alchemy and medicine are considered professional. Seeing Donghuazi's broken pills, Qin Yi felt that
This aspect can be completely crushed. Generally speaking, the noodle king has a certain confidence this time, and he will not become a useless person without the tassel.
This is the scene that Qin Yi had imagined when he came out of the mountain. (PS: I don’t know what kind of brains some people think that Qin Yi came out to fight with Donghuazi regardless of his own ability. It is so obvious that the prince invited him for
In the political struggle for favor, the aspect of dealing with Donghuazi mainly relies on politics rather than combat. I don’t understand this. Do you think Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to use a fan to charge into the battle and kill the generals? Do you think you are playing the Three Kingdoms War?)
When we arrived at the bedroom, the scent of sandalwood hit our nostrils. As soon as we walked in, we saw the king wearing a robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon, meditating, surrounded by sandalwood, and a maid was gently fanning him.
Qin Yi couldn't complain. Your eldest son is going to be buried today. It's okay if you can't afford it, but you are practicing Taoism here!
At yesterday's banquet, the king was sitting on the throne, a little far away, and his attention was mainly focused on Dong Huazi and Mang Zhan, and he didn't pay much attention to the king's appearance. Now looking at it from a close distance, the king has very handsome features.
, no wonder the children he gave birth to are handsome boys and girls. He is no more than forty or fifty years old, with black hair and a ruddy face. He really looks like he has good health skills. No wonder he believes in Dong Huazi.
But Qin Yi could tell that his ruddy color was not normal.
This King of Martial Arts also went to the battlefield when he was young, and is also a warrior. A successful warrior should still be at his peak age when he is forty or fifty years old. Unless he is born with a red face or has special skills, it is normal for his complexion to remain normal.
.
Can you imagine Li Qinglin's face glowing red when he was in his forties or fifties?
His ruddy appearance is due to erysipelas, which is already affecting his health. And...
This rich sandalwood seemed to be covering up the faint odor coming from his body.
"Your Majesty, Qin Yi is here." The eunuch whispered.
The king opened his eyes, which were a little cloudy for a moment, but slowly became clear.
"Five declines of heaven and man", such a term came up in Qin Yi's mind. He was slightly shocked. He didn't know if his knowledge of pharmacology was still too poor. In short, if he judged based on his level alone, this king seemed to be...
I don’t have long to live...
"Fellow Taoist Qin." The king's tone was very kind, "Fellow Taoist, you are young and you don't know where you are from?"
Qin Yi was well prepared and said: "My master, Mr. Liusu, has been traveling all over the world and I don't know where he is."
The king thought for a while: "I have never heard of it...but there are many wise people in the world, and it is true that not a few people can know everything."
Qin Yi thought to himself that you are extremely ignorant. You don't know everything. Of course, he didn't say it out loud. He just bowed.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, please take a seat." The king pointed to the futon opposite.
Qin Yi sat cross-legged leisurely, with his robes raised slightly, and his palms facing the sky in front of his knees. His posture was standard. He didn't look like a monk, but he looked a bit handsome. The king watched intently.
After a while, he nodded slightly: "Sit down with two shackles and five hearts pointing to the sky. It is very standard. It is indeed inherited."
"..." Qin Yi was almost speechless. What exactly did Dong Huazi teach you? Can such a basic thing be used as a criterion for judgment?
The king asked again: "What is my Taoist majoring in? The art of divination?"
"Divination is just for fun." Qin Yi said: "I major in Waidan, which can help people eliminate illnesses and prolong life."
The king's eyes lit up slightly, and he added: "It is similar to what the Imperial Master has learned. Fellow Taoists may wish to ask the Imperial Master for more advice, which may be helpful."
This puts Qin Yi in the position of Donghuazi's student, which shows how high Donghuazi's status is in his heart. Qin Yi said lightly: "It's okay to communicate with fellow Taoists."
The king then said: "If the National Master's elixir reaches the ninth level, it can lead to longevity. Taoist friends will only prolong life and become timid and sick. Taoist friends are young and vigorous. Although they have inheritance, they still need to be humble and follow the Tao."
"To say that longevity is timid and timid is an act of humility. The road is difficult, and if you ask yourself that you still need to pursue immortality all your life, but you talk so much about helping others live longer? If you talk too much, it is not an act of humility."
The king was startled for a moment and said: "The imperial master has not fully explained it yet, and the real method of nine-turn immortality is still being explored. However, the ordinary elixir makes me feel clear and wise, and it is already effective."
Qin Yi almost wanted to say that those elixirs were useless, but he remembered Li Qinglin's reminder, so he suppressed it and said: "I will ask the National Master for help someday."
The king nodded and suddenly said: "Since Taoist friend is a practitioner of Qing Dynasty, and Zhaoyang..."
Qin Yi bowed down directly and said: "We are happy with each other and would like to be Taoist lovers."
The king didn't seem to expect this guy to be so direct. Instead, he choked back his words. He looked at him with a strange expression for a long time, and then slowly said: "My Taoist friend is not clean in the world, how can I ask? I have an idea...
…”
Qin Yi interrupted directly: "I wonder if the master's alchemy method has ever been mentioned like this?"
The king was interrupted, but he was not displeased. He still said kindly: "Fellow Taoist, please speak."
"Lead and mercury first merge, dragon and tiger first kiss, sun and moon intersect, yin and yang interact with each other, so elixirs are born in chaos. I don't know the foundation of dragons and tigers, the transformation of yin and yang, and throw gold and stones in vain to try to make elixirs. It's like entering water to ask for chickens and rabbits.
, Climbing Rope Ichthyosaurus, wrong!”
The king was stunned for a while and fell into deep thought.
Qin Yi felt refreshed.
It's useless to act like a son and beg someone not to marry off your daughter. Showing off his most important alchemy is the real pretense!
