Please don't force me to be a god.

Zhang Tian knew that although Xu Wen was obsessed with ghosts and gods, he was not a person who did not know his limits.

Now he knelt in front of more than a dozen court officials, and it was clear that some of his words were for them to hear.

However, he was a scholar from the border, what difficulties did he have at home that he wanted to let the court officials hear?

Zhang Tian said: "Get up first, don't let people laugh at you."

Prime Minister Cai and Minister Shi would understand, and they all said: "What's the problem with Xu Xiucai? Why don't you tell us? If we can help, we will definitely help."

Xu Wen looked at Zhang Tian, ​​and Zhang Tian said: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Xu Wen said: "My second uncle, because of the frequent wars in Xiangyang City, he couldn't collect rent for the land outside the city. In a fit of anger, he sold his land and mansion and came to Lin'an Prefecture to do business."

"Over the years, I have been communicating with my family. But half a year ago, I suddenly lost contact."

"Master Immortal lives in the mortal world and cannot do without money. As a scholar, it is not convenient for me to take care of these copper-smelling things. I have to prepare for the imperial examination and cannot split my attention."

"Therefore, my father told me that I hope I can ask my second uncle for help and let him take care of it."

"Today, I went to my second uncle's address to look for someone, but found that the door was closed and I couldn't get in or out."

"After asking the neighbors, I found out that "It turned out that your second uncle was arrested by the yamen runners for the crime of treason."

"The women in the family were also confined to the house, not allowed to go in and out, and not allowed to communicate with the outside world."

"In a panic, I have no connections in Lin'an Prefecture, and I don't know which yamen my second uncle is in. I had to come back and ask the immortal master for help."

Zhang Tian asked: "The crime of treason is not trivial. Why did your second uncle commit such a crime?"

Xu Wen said loudly: "Immortal master, I guarantee with my life that my second uncle will never treason. " "Second uncle was once a scholar, but he became a businessman because of life. Second uncle has his own stand on major issues." "Whenever the disciple mentioned in the letter that Tianjin Kingdom came to raid the valley, Second uncle was more indignant than the disciple, and he wanted to go on the battlefield to kill the enemy. How could he be collaborating with the enemy?" Zhang Tian said indifferently: "Well, I know. Let's get up and have lunch first. We haven't contacted for half a year, so there is no rush at this time." Prime Minister Cai and Shangshu Shi, who were opposite the courtyard, were already uneasy. After all, it involved the government, and half of this was said to them. If Second Uncle Xu Wen really was collaborating with the enemy, it would be easy to deal with. When the matter was settled, Zhang Tian and Xu Wen would owe the court a favor in return. At that time, it would be much easier to ask Zhang Tian to stay. If it was not collaborating with the enemy, but a false accusation. How many people would lose their heads and their official hats would be lost? If Zhang Tian leaves Lin'an in anger, even the prime minister and the minister will be implicated.

Prime Minister Cai said, "Mr. Zhang, there may be a misunderstanding. Why don't I send someone to check it out?"

"Go to each department and ask where the person is first, and then slowly investigate it."

"Okay." Zhang Tian asked Xu Wen, "What's your uncle's name?"

Xu Wen said, "My uncle's name is Xu Jingye, and he is 42 years old this year."

As soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Cai immediately signaled an attendant to go out to do business.

Minister Shi naturally couldn't fall behind, so he also sent an attendant out.

Zhang Tian then said to the prime minister, the minister and more than a dozen other officials, "Since everyone is here, why don't we have a simple meal together?"

"That's great."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

Prime Minister Cai and Minister Shi secretly complained in their hearts.

If they were not still useful, they would not even be able to make a living.

However, these thoughts only flashed by.

Now Zhang Tian's status is so high that the emperor would be happy to stay in Lin'an Prefecture, fearing that he would travel around and never see him again.

Originally, there were not many dishes prepared, but suddenly there were more than a dozen people, so it was not enough.

Tiedong and the two eunuchs had to rush to the restaurant outside and ordered a lot of food to bring back.

During the meal, Tiedong, who usually ate with them, refused to sit at the table.

Fearing that others would say that the servants of the immortal family did not know the rules, he just ate a little in the kitchen with the two eunuchs.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Zhang Tian had to let him go.

It took time to change these people's ideas. When there were no outsiders, they could be more casual. With outsiders, Tiedong, Xu Wen and others still could not break free from the shackles.

This shackle was not only in their hearts, but also the shackles of the entire secular world, and they had to obey.

Seeing Zhang Tian eating slowly and methodically, all the officials almost forgot to eat.

Although the intelligence had long said that Zhang Tian had eaten, after seeing him flying outside the Chongzheng Palace, they felt that it was in line with imagination for such an immortal, a supreme being, and a god not to eat, and eating was unexpected.

After watching for a while, I felt thatIt is impolite to stare at Zhang Tian while he eats.

Shi Shangshu said: "Zhuangzi said: Gods do not eat grains, but breathe wind and drink dew. Does Master Zhang still need to eat?"

Zhang Tian glanced at Shi Shangshu unhappily. When he was in the sky, he called him Zhang Shangxian. When he returned to the ground, he called him Master Zhang again.

It seems that he still has the burden of being a literati.

However, Zhang Tian did not care about these titles and was too lazy to bother with them.

On the contrary, if everyone did not call him Shangxian, Master, or something like that, Zhang Tian would feel more comfortable.

Zhang Tian said: "If you don't eat the delicious food in the world, but have to drink the northwest wind, then is Zhuangzi sick?"

"Uh..." Shi Shangshu did not dare to answer.

Zhang Tian could scold Zhuangzi, after all, he was the "sage, god" in Zhuangzi's mouth.

But Shi Shangshu would never dare to be dissatisfied with the sages. If it was spread out, it would directly shake his reputation and even his official position.

Prime Minister Cai said: "The Book of Rites of Dai Dai records that those who eat air are divine and live long. There is also a method of fasting in Taoism."

"Mr. Zhang, do gods need to practice breathing to nourish their divine bodies? So that they can fly with air?"

Zhang Tian said: "Breathing can strengthen the body, but it is absolutely impossible to become an immortal and fly to the sky."

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been many ancient people who have cultivated immortals and sought the Tao.

Except for some legends, there is no evidence that breathing can give people abilities beyond ordinary people.

In later generations, there were a lot of practice methods such as yoga, meditation, and sitting meditation, and a lot of "masters".

From the perspective of scientific research, no one has been seen who has abilities beyond ordinary people.

The correct breathing method is indeed very helpful in strengthening the body.

It can even beautify. For example, people who breathe through their mouths usually have ugly chin shapes.

Zhang Tian also taught a lot of breathing methods in the physical training of aerospace.

For example, how to control breathing in an oxygen-deficient environment and reduce oxygen consumption.

In a life-or-death emergency, how to use breathing to control your panic, calmly find the best way to survive, etc.

Since we are talking about this topic.

Zhang Tian will share some of the little breathing methods he knows with everyone.

Xu Wen, Prime Minister Cai, Minister Shi, and the dozen or so high-ranking officials who have little presence, dared not move their chopsticks after hearing this.

Some people still have a piece of meat in their chopsticks, which stopped in mid-air, holding their breath, for fear of missing every word Zhang Tian said.

Although they cannot call Zhang Tian "Shangxian" due to their class peculiarities, everyone has their own scale in their hearts.

Now that the "immortal" is teaching in person, if you miss it, won't you regret it to death?

Although Zhang Tian clearly stated that he could not become an immortal, everyone did not expect to learn the method of becoming an immortal through a few words of casual chat, and they were satisfied with being able to prolong their lives.

When they heard Zhang Tian say that incorrect breathing methods would affect the face, especially for children who have not yet grown up.

Everyone was shocked!
