Journey To Longevity

After Xiao Lian, the third lady's maidservant who brought medicine, was hypnotized by Zhang Shiping, although Zhang Shiping didn't know directly from her where the monk in the Ge color dress was in Li's residence.

Because Zhang Shiping only described the man's appearance and clothes to the maid. The maid Xiao Lian didn't know the man, but according to the description of the man's clothes, Zhang Shiping learned from the maid that the man should be from the Li family. one of the stewards.

This answer made Zhang Shiping unbelievable, because how could a cultivator of the sixth level of qi training be just a steward in a mortal family like the Li Mansion? It's just a disguise.

Zhang Shiping wanted to ask who that person was and where would he be? Since Xiao Lian is just a maidservant, she doesn't know about these things.

After all, the Li Mansion is so big, there are several stewards alone, there are stewards from the inner court, stewards from the outer court, and more than a dozen stewards, big and small, scattered in the shops of the farm. Lian, it's normal to be unclear.

However, Zhang Shiping learned from Xiao Lian that there was something about immortal cultivators in Li's mansion. A high-rise building is called the Star Observation Building.

Mrs. Li often burns incense and meditates on the top floor of this building. Because the third lady served by Xiaolian is very loved by Mrs. Li, so this Xiaolian has followed the third lady to the Immortal Court many times.

As soon as I mentioned this, Xiao Lian, who was still in a hypnotic state, had a smile on her face. She was very happy that her young lady was loved so much. Zhang Shiping did not deny it. Every family has many loyal servants like this .

Of the more than 20 young masters and young ladies of the younger generation in Li's mansion, only the third young lady and the seventh young master can enter and leave the Banished Immortal Court at will. .

A family like the Li Mansion, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, attaches as much importance to human relations and etiquette as the royal family of the Yu Kingdom. The most talented children of the concubine are only in charge of a business of the family. Just give them a few taels of silver, there is a taste of letting them fend for themselves. Of course, living with a few taels of silver every month is much better than ordinary ordinary people.

And the most important thing is that the various connections and family secrets that have been handed down by the Li family for hundreds of years will never be handed over to children who have no systematic education in the family, unless the family really has no successors.

For a family like the Li family, one or two prodigal sons are not afraid, but the fear is that the family will be controlled by some people who think they are very capable, and the family will be brought into the abyss. In fact, this kind of ambition and strength, but lost in the In the current situation, there are family patriarchs who can't recognize themselves clearly, people who think that everything is under control, and there are people in every dynasty and every generation.

After Zhang Shiping left the maid Xiaolian, in order not to let the people in the mansion find him, he walked through the yard carefully for two cups of tea.

He was standing outside a courtyard, and from a distance, he could see a six-story square building in the courtyard, which should be the Star Observation Tower that Xiaolian mentioned. Zhang Shiping was outside the courtyard, reciting a few formulas lightly, spreading out his spiritual consciousness more subtly, and the spiritual consciousness invaded the courtyard layer by layer like water waves.

The scope of spiritual investigation in the foundation building period is much stronger than that in the qi training period. When it is fully deployed, according to Zhang Shiping's spiritual consciousness, it is a full seven or eight miles, enough for him to search the entire Li Mansion.

But this kind of method is simple and rude, and it is naturally not as good as Zhang Shiping who consciously manipulates his own consciousness, with delicate and more subtle techniques. He didn't come here to demonstrate and kill, so there's no need to do this.

After a while, Zhang Shiping withdrew his consciousness and walked to the gate of the courtyard with confidence. There was a porter at the gate, and no other young men were standing guard. This courtyard is already in the mansion, and people from Li's mansion come and go, and it doesn't need to be strictly guarded like an ordinary military camp.

The plaque on the gate of this courtyard is written with the words "Xianxian Tower", which is free and easy, and really has a sense of immortality and independence. Zhang Shiping saw it and appreciated a few words. The person who writes calligraphy must be a master of calligraphy, and Zhang Shiping is ashamed of himself.

But Zhang Shiping just said a few words with emotion, he came here to do business.

...

Observatory.

The monk Ge Yi whom Zhang Shiping met in the early morning was sitting on the futon on the sixth floor of the Star Observation Tower.

On the floor of the room is a picture of the Eight Diagrams of Innateness. In the picture, there is an exquisitely carved beast-head alchemy stove. Next to the alchemy stove are two apricot-yellow futons. One of them is the monk in Geyi, and the other is Sitting cross-legged on the futon was an old man with long white beard who was wearing a blue robe, with a bun on his head, and a white whisk placed across the palms of his hands.

Looking at it with the naked eye, this old man in a blue robe looks like a noble and clean monk, while the image of the other monk in Ge Yi has fallen by more than a few points.

This old man is the old Shangshu of the Li family who returned home, that is, the old man of the Li family. Since the old man Li came back, he has been addicted to cultivating immortals and alchemy.

A moment after the sixth-level qi-training monk Ge Yi sat down, Mrs. Li opened his closed eyes slightly, and said in an ethereal tone, "Friend Mo, have you settled the matter of longevity?"

This appearance is not at all as humble as the feminine man he entertained on the flower boat.

The monk Ge Yi bent slightly and said: "Li Daoyou, everything has been settled."

"Thank you Mo Daoist for your hard work." Old Master Li said to Mo Gu, his tone changed from ethereal to considerate.

Mrs. Li was smart since he was a child. He passed the imperial examinations all the way. At the age of eighteen, he won the Jinshi, won the second place, became an official in the court, and finally became the Minister of Yu for more than ten years. During his decades of ups and downs, what happened? He can be calm.

But he, who has no spiritual roots, is the only one who is worried about the matter of cultivating immortals. Now that he is old and has a short lifespan, he is even more afraid of death, so he wants to practice immortality and alchemy in order to live forever.

In order to live longer, he even did not hesitate to exchange virgin boys and girls and that feminine man for pills. The monk's elixir did have some effect. After Mrs. Li took it, he felt much younger, so he became more dependent on the elixir.

As for where those boys and girls went, Mrs. Li has lived for decades, and his heart is like a mirror, where he doesn't understand, it's just that he is rarely confused.

Originally, Mo Gu, a monk in Ge Yi, had been persuading Mrs. Li in the past few years, and Mrs. Li couldn't bear it, but after seeing the extraordinary effect of the elixir of that feminine man, he still wondered if Mo Gu wanted to Cut off his path of eternal vision.

How can a commoner in Guizhou be able to cultivate immortality and live forever, while a dignitary like him can only be a mortal. God is really unfair. Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Li felt even more unbalanced.

It's just that in order to let Mo Gu do things for him, Mrs. Li didn't speak out, and hid it very well.

But Mo Gu is a cultivator after all, his spiritual sense is much sharper than that of ordinary people, he also understands somewhat in his heart, but Mrs. Li has kindness to himself, and he can only persuade him with good words. As for whether to listen or not, that is It's his business.

A few years ago, he would still say a few words, but now he doesn't want to say any more. Youdao is a goddamn ghost who can't persuade you with good words. The elixir in that feminine man's hand can indeed make people strong, but the erysipelas in this elixir cannot be resolved by the appearance of a mere mortal, Mrs. Li, who learns to meditate.

Thinking of this, Mo Gu got up, bid farewell to Mrs. Li, and slowly went down the Star Observation Tower.
