Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1064 Longevity
After leaving the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, while walking towards the carriage, Fang Jun asked, "Has your family come to the capital?"

His Majesty Li Er wanted to meet the most mysterious Yuming family in the world, and entrusted the Yuming family far away in the south of the Yangtze River to deliver a message.In any case, His Majesty Li Er is the lord of the world, even if Yu Ming is born, he must give the necessary respect, so after receiving Fang Jun's letter, the old man Yu Ming immediately agreed.

Although it is already the twelfth lunar month in Guanzhong, the construction of Huating Town, which is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, has not stopped.The Academy was ordered by His Majesty Li Er to relocate to Chang'an. The completed and under-construction buildings that were originally used as the lecture halls and dormitories of the Academy were completely vacant. All R&D institutions were relocated to these buildings, and hidden card sentries were set up around them for strict monitoring.

"How could they all come? There are only three of you, my younger sister and grandfather."

Yu Minglei still had a cool expression on his face. First, he walked around the carriage, looked at the shock-absorbing bow on the horizontal axis where it was in contact with the body of the carriage, and then looked at the part that was separated from the body. The two are connected together with a steering device that can turn at will. After a moment of thought, the handsome face has changed.

"Such a simple improvement has made the carriage run more smoothly, ride more comfortably, and the load capacity has also been greatly increased. Master Hou's thinking is really unconstrained, it is wonderful!"

But Fang Jun asked: "When Lingzu came to Chang'an, he naturally went to the Taiji Palace to remonstrate with His Majesty. Brother Yuming just solved a big problem for him when he came here. So where did that violent loli of yours go?"

Yu Minglei was a little dissatisfied: "A gentleman doesn't speak bad words, how can Hou Ye hurt others? You must know that my little sister is going to find her husband's family sooner or later. Being slandered by you with such bad words will delay her life-long affairs in the future, what should I do?"

Fang Jun opened the car door and invited Yu Minglei to get in the car, and said with a smile: "Slanderous words? Please, we are seeking truth from facts, buddy! With your sister's violent temper, she can't stop punching and kicking people, what kind of person is that?" Aren’t you afraid that your son will be maimed and dare to take it? It’s just asking for trouble.”

Yu Minglei got into the carriage, staring at Fang Jun with burning eyes, a little sullen: "My sister is pure and beautiful, far better than ordinary ladies."

Fang Jun laughed: "There's a reason to be beautiful? Marry a wife and a virtuous man, your sister is far behind."

Yu Minglei frowned, thinking about it, Fang Jun was right?
My sister is innocent and innocent, so she is really not suitable for marrying into someone else's husband and child.

After thinking about it, he said, "Then marry into your family and be your concubine, right?"

Fang Jun is sweating profusely!

Quickly shaking his hands like windmills, he said in a low voice: "Brother, can you spare me? With my skill, I will be hammered to death by your sister in less than two years, okay? Brother Yuming, you will not May your girl be a widow at a young age? Besides, how can a brother take the initiative to send a girl to be a concubine? It’s fine to talk about it, but be careful not to be heard by that violent girl!”

Yu Minglei shivered and shut up decisively.

There seems to be a problem with the genetic inheritance of Yuming's family. Not to mention the fact that his generation has become thinner and thinner, the most unacceptable thing is that the trend of yin prosperity and yang decline is becoming more and more obvious.Yu Minglei was originally a natural martial arts genius, but his younger sister Yu Mingxue was even better!
Often, Yu Minglei, who is a master of learning, becomes more and more refined through hard work, but that little girl is just playing around and playing with it a few times, and she can master it...

In terms of force value, Yu Minglei is no longer Yu Mingxue's opponent.

Thinking that if the girl heard that he was going to give her to Fang Jun as a concubine, would she not be able to chase and kill him all over the world?

Quickly said: "These words can come out of my mouth and enter your ears, so let's take it to heart."

Fang Jun naturally nodded his head.

Just kidding, even if Yu Minglei was caught and beaten by his sister, how could he still please him?
That violent girl has always talked about fists and is unreasonable...

"I want to live forever, but I don't know where to go?"

In the Zhaode Hall on the east side of the Taiji Hall, His Majesty Li Er sat opposite the old man Yuming with white beard and hair.

Enjoying the splendor of the world and controlling life and death in the world, any emperor yearns more than ordinary people to be able to live forever and keep this supreme right in the world. Qin Shihuang once sent Xu Fu to lead three thousand boys and girls to sail across the sea. Du is looking for the medicine of immortality, and His Majesty Li Er is no exception...

The old man Yuming was dressed in Gebu clothes, and he had a fairy-like temperament. He shook his head and said, "Whether there is a way to live forever? I don't know. There must be a way to ascend in the daytime and become a fairy. But from the beginning to the end, None of the sages of the previous generation had a single word description of becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao. Perhaps they were as ignorant as we are before they attained the Tao, but after they attained the Tao they found it meaningless to leave any words behind. The old man does not know what is the correct way to ascend to the Dao, but he knows that if a person's root is solid, he can take away the righteousness of the world and prolong his lifespan."

His Majesty Li Er was disappointed.

If there is really anyone in the world who is closest to immortality and looking at the way of heaven, it must be the Yuming family.This mysterious family has taken it as their mission to enter the Supreme Heaven. For more than a thousand years, they have tirelessly pursued this seemingly illusory goal, and they are still unyielding despite setbacks.

If this road is blocked, how can Yuming's wisdom and ability persist for thousands of years?

However, the wisest old man in the Yuming family in front of him said such a sentence, which made him extremely disappointed, as if the dream he had dreamed of in his heart died before it even started...

Of course he also hopes to prolong his life, but what is it compared to immortality?
He asked again: "Is the path of Yuming's practice similar to that of Taoism?"

The old man Yuming said: "There are different routes to the same destination."

His Majesty Li Er nodded.

In order to enhance the royal status of the Li family, the great ancestor Li Yuan strongly grouped his ancestors into the lineage of Lao Tzu Li Dan. Therefore, the Taoism founded by Lao Tzu naturally became the "state religion".

But as an ambitious emperor, where does he have time to study the Taoist secrets?
His Majesty Li Er is not a fool. A family like the Yuming family, which has passed on resentment and wisdom for more than a thousand years, will not be able to achieve longevity.

Sighing: "Fate is determined by the sky, and the poor market will be exhausted. After all, it is an unpleasant thing."

The old man Yuming shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is ridiculous, my life is mine, it does not belong to heaven and earth."

His Majesty Li Er was taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"

"A person's life, the length of his life, is determined by himself, not by other external forces. According to Taoism, Tao produces all things, Tao and life guard each other, life and Tao protect each other, and they are inseparable even for a moment. Life is life, and the way is death, so it is said that as long as people are good at self-cultivation and self-cultivation, they can live forever. In the eyes of the old, immortality may be too absurd and absurd, but it is easy to change the destiny and increase the lifespan."

His Majesty Li Er humbly said: "I would like to hear the details."

The old man Yuming smiled, feeling very fond of the Supreme Emperor's modest attitude.

Of course, for a generation of emperors who wield the ultimate power in the world, the kind of injustice in their hearts that seeks to live forever is by no means easy to change...

So he taught His Majesty Li Er a "longevity course".

"The "Taishang Laojun's Vipassana Sutra" says, "The Taoist has no form, but has no emotion, and the change is unpredictable, and the gods are born. In the human body, it is a god, the so-called heart. Therefore, when a Taoist cultivates the Tao, he cultivates the heart and teaches people. Cultivation means cultivating the Tao. The Tao cannot be seen, because life is used to clarify it; life cannot be permanent, and the Tao is used to guard it. If life dies, the Tao will be abolished, and if the Tao is abolished, life will die.' It is also said that 'the Tao has no life and death, but the form has life and death, so Those who talk about life and death belong to form and not Tao. Therefore, those who live in form follow their way. Those who die because of form lose their way. If a person can exist and keep the way, he will live forever. What is the meaning of this statement? One often loses the Way, one loses one without the Way, one often loses one’s life, and one loses one’s life through non-practice. Therefore, those who preserve life should be careful not to lose the Way, and those who follow the Way should be careful not to lose life, so that the Way and life can be kept together, and life and the Way can be protected together.”

Taoism combines Taoist philosophy with the way of longevity. Because it believes that "life" and "Tao" are in harmony, the ancestors put forward many methods of health and fitness for the pursuit of longevity and longevity.Such as inner alchemy, outer alchemy, cunning, keeping one, subduing qi, guiding and other cultivation methods, so that the world can cultivate the body with a clean mind and asceticism, stop meat and fish to nourish the character, pick herbs to prevent diseases and so on.

Careful cultivation of Taoism may not guarantee immortality, but it will definitely make people live longer, have a peaceful mind, blend with nature, and harmonize with yin and yang.

His Majesty Li Er nodded and accepted the instruction.

But I thought in my heart; what the old man said is the most reasonable in the world, but he only explained the benefits and necessity of cultivating the Tao from the aspect of self-cultivation.So is the "Golden Elixir" in Taoism closer to immortality?
