Chapter three hundred and ninety eight: big and small devil
Perhaps because he did not have the company of his grandson, the old man Sun Xiaoran's life in Qi Qingguan was very boring. In addition to making a fuss in Qi's room every day, he would also run to Qi Qingguan's lecture hall for nothing.
In just a few words, Taoist scriptures were belittled as useless, and the third elder who lectured on the scriptures was so angry that he was talking nonsense.
He stared at the old man, wanting to tear this old man alive, but his kung fu was not as good as this old man's. When he spoke, he couldn't even explain the old man's nonsense. The most irritating thing was that the old man pointed at the nose of the third elder and asked about the previous court.
After fighting with Daliang, why did the Taoist priests in Qiqing Temple refuse to go down the mountain and hang a pot to help the world?
The old man actually knew the answer to this question, but he still asked it because he wanted the third elder to shut up.
Facts have proved that the third elder did indeed keep his mouth shut.
A Taoist priest who had been arguing with the abbot of Qingshan Temple for hundreds of days was left speechless by an old man who didn't know a word of Chinese characters and only made noises and rolled around every day. The Taoist priest below was really embarrassed.
You must know that the third elder is famous for his brilliant tongue and extremely subtle teachings.
In the end, it ended in a draw with the abbot of Qingshan Temple.
But yesterday, he lost to a completely unreasonable old man. The third elder was unwilling to lose, but he really couldn't refute.
When Qi found out about this, he smiled helplessly. Others couldn't do anything to the old man because he couldn't beat him, but his own boss couldn't do anything to the old man either. No one knew why.
Anyway, ever since the grandson went up the mountain, everyone in Qiqingguan has been avoiding the old man, for fear that he might accidentally encounter him.
The old man had nothing to do today. He walked around the martial arts training ground, cursed for wasting his time, and then walked away. The third elder did not dare to refute after hearing this.
…
After leaving the martial arts training ground, the old man looked for Qi in a large circle, but he had no choice but to know where Qi was hiding. The old man walked in a large circle, but still couldn't find anyone, so he had no choice but to give up and walked into the second elder's house.
Qi
In the alchemy room of Dangxin, Qi Dangxin was dedicated to studying the art of alchemy, and he looked completely aloof from worldly affairs. However, Qi Dangxin also heard about the old man's words that made his senior brother faint yesterday.
of.
"Careful, what are you busy with?"
After the old man entered the alchemy room, he pouted and asked Qi Dangxin who was preparing the elixir.
"Nothing to do, prepare some pills." Qi Dangxin replied with a smile,
Qi Qingguan lost one Guanxing and gained Sun Xiaoran. In people's eyes, these two people are almost the same. One old and one young are both devil-like existences.
Qi Dangxin seemed to be busy with the elixirs. He made countless elixirs, but most of them were sent to the hands of dignitaries in the city.
Qi Dangxin thought it was nothing at first, but later he discovered that these dignitaries were sending the elixirs to Chang'an City. Qi Dangxin began not to give the elixirs to others casually, except to those who were sure that they would not give the elixirs away.
Give me a few.
These pills have become the most precious things in this city. How a person's status is depends on whether he has taken Qi Dangxin's pills, but Qi Dangxin has a very weird temper.
, his elixir must be eaten in front of him. If he takes the elixir for several days in a row, he must finish the elixir in the Taoist temple before leaving. Qi Dangxin does this to prevent others from taking his elixir.
The medicine was delivered to the palace.
The emperor of Daliang once ordered Qi Dangxin to enter the palace to refine elixirs, but Qi Dangxin refused without even thinking about it.
If it weren't for this, the late emperor of Daliang might have lived for three to five more years, but Qi Dangxin refused to go. Being able to make alchemy for the royal family was almost the highest honor for an alchemist. Unfortunately, Qi Dangxin just watched.
No, because in his eyes, only the emperors of the previous dynasty were worthy of taking his elixirs, and the current Emperor of Liang did not have this qualification. This seemed to be somewhat imagined by his senior brother Qi at the time.
Qi Dangxin seemed to focus all his attention on alchemy, but when he was young, he knew that his qualifications were limited, and there was no way he could achieve what he has achieved today. If his master hadn't helped him, Qi Dangxin would have died.
He was just a small ordinary alchemist. Later, Qi Dangxin found that he encountered a bottleneck again, such as
If it hadn't been for the "Yin Yang Golden Pill" sent by the previous emperor, Qi Dangxin might not have made any progress in his life. In other words, Qi Dangxin knew that he could be where he is today only because of two people. The first one
He is his master, and the second one is the former emperor who has been scolded countless times, but who has also made countless people loyal for countless years.
Why did the previous dynasty never die?
Why did the people of the previous dynasty never die?
In fact, it is not without reason. How much did the emperor of the previous dynasty leave to his son?
Ordinary people may say that if the country is lost, what can be left?
But in the eyes of the people of the previous dynasty, what remained was something more important than the country, and that was the people's hearts.
The confused emperor of the previous dynasty had a knack for controlling people's minds.
It's the pinnacle.
…
The old man slowly walked to the place where the elixirs were stored, reached out and took out a purple gourd, turned to Qi Dang and asked: "Be careful, can I eat this?"
"You can't eat it, you can't eat it!" Qi Dangxin waved his hands quickly and said with a smile: "That thing is for children to practice martial arts. If you are in this state, it will be in vain. If you eat this!"
Qi Dangxin took out a few longevity pills while talking and put them in the old man's hands.
"What is this?"
The old man looked at the pills in his hand and asked with squinting eyes.
"This is a longevity pill. You will be fine if you take it. It will prolong your life..." Qi Dangxin explained with a smile.
"Isn't this what the emperor wanted from you back then?" the old man asked, curling his lips.
"Yes, if he had just eaten two pills at random, he wouldn't have died in such a hurry." Qi Dangxin nodded.
"Haha, I don't want to eat this thing. I'm afraid I won't die. What's the use of eating this thing?" The old man threw the elixir back into Qi Dangxin's hands as he spoke.
Qi Dangxin stood there and smiled helplessly, looking at the old man not knowing what to say.
"What are you talking about?" the old man asked curiously, pointing at the alchemy furnace in front of him, which was almost as tall as a person.
"This is a bronze furnace. Almost all elixirs that require some heat can be refined in it." Qi Dangxin walked up to the old man as he spoke.
When the old man saw that Qi Dangxin was so careful, he squinted his eyes and said nothing.
