I preached in the Six Dynasties

Chapter 806 Hua Xin
On the streets of Xudu, Li Yu followed behind a person.

This person has a wide robe and big sleeves, facing elegantly, and looks like a fairy.

"My family teacher travels all over the world and often exchanges letters, but I don't know where to go."

Li Yu smiled and said, "Then how do you send a letter?"

"Just burn the letter in front of a clay figurine, and the teacher will be able to read it."

Li Yu nodded, this was indeed Zuo Ci's method.

The Taoist priest in front of him is Baopuzi Ge Hong. He lost his father when he was young, and his family became poorer. He earned money from chopping firewood in exchange for paper and pens. After working, he copied books and studied until late at night.The villagers called him a scholar of Baopu, so he took the title of "Baopuzi".

Unlike Zuo Ci, Ge Hong is introverted and not good at making friends. He only studies behind closed doors, and he has read a lot.

In fact, many of Zuo Ci's skills were learned from his apprentices, but Ge Hong's most important Golden Core Dao was indeed learned from Zuo Ci, and he learned it almost inseparably.

"Principal Su Wen has stepped through the void and attained the Dao. From then on, he will live forever and be at ease. It is enviable and admirable."

Li Yu waved his hand and said, "Where, it's just a little rudimentary practice, which can't be seen by celebrities."

"Master said in the letter that the Daoist priest has a solid heart and profound blessings. He is the leading monk in the world, so why be too modest."

Li Yu didn't expect Zuo Ci to be quite discerning in private.

He smiled and asked, "Where do you practice here?"

"The impoverished Taoist priests are not as stable as the orthodox Taoists, so they dare not cultivate here in Xudu, and can only practice in the mountains."

Li Yu smiled in his heart and said nothing, he knew something inside, maybe this Ge Hong was forced to go into seclusion.He himself has no problems, but everyone knows that his master is Zuo Ci, who is Zuo Ci?
There are so many monks in the Six Dynasties, if you say that out of ten monks, eight of them are enemies of Zuo Ci, it must be suspected of exaggeration.

But if you say that out of every ten monks, only one is Zuo Ci's enemy, then you must be conservative.

This time when Li Yu came to Xudu, Cao Cao attached great importance to him, and he took him with him almost every day, interacting with the upper echelons of Wei.The news spread, and even Ge Hong, who was practicing in Zhu Mingdong, heard the news, so he made a special trip to visit.

The two came to a tea stand and ordered a pot of hot water. The tea doctor was a little displeased when he saw that they didn't order tea, but just water.

At this time, Li Yu took out two big coins from his sleeve and said with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work."

Dr. Cha immediately smiled and poured water attentively.

Ge Hong took out a gourd from his bosom, scalded the teacup with hot water, and poured a few pieces into it.

The water is steaming and dense, and the fragrance is not very strong, but the taste is lingering.

"Although Pindao is a few years older, the Taoist master has a close relationship with his family teacher, so it is appropriate to call the Taoist priest a teacher uncle."

Li Yu waved his hands and said, "No, I always call Master Ling a senior, and it's most appropriate for us to be of the same generation."

Ge Hong didn't care too much about this. He smiled and pushed the tea away, saying: "Among the six dynasties, the tea of ​​Wei, Shu and Wu was extremely bad, and the Tang and Song Dynasties were in the middle. Only the tea of ​​Ming Dynasty has a lasting fragrance and a long aftertaste. It is most suitable for monks of my generation."

Li Yu had been in Daming for a long time, and said with a smile, "This should be the Dahongpao from Mount Wuyi."

"The Taoist master is very knowledgeable."

Ge Hong asked: "You can't miss the opportunity to meet the master today. It is a godsend opportunity to meet the master today. The matter of practice is against the sky. The road is obstructed and difficult, and it is often puzzling. There are many doubts in the poor way. , I also hope that the Taoist priest will not hesitate to enlighten me."

"I will tell you everything."

Ge Hongdao: "I practiced in the mountains, and I have always focused on guarding one's body, moving qi, and guiding. With such accumulation of true qi, I entered the realm at a rapid pace at the beginning, until I developed a golden core, which was only one step away from the great way, and then it continued to dissipate. The accumulated true qi Qi is not enough in the first place, and is constantly being lost, so after many years of cultivation, it is not as good as it was at the beginning."

Li Yu asked, "What did Senior Zuo Ci say?"

"Master said I didn't get the right way."

This is just like saying something, it's just nonsense.

Li Yu said: "The world is so big that there are no surprises. Since you have made rapid progress before, this cultivation method is very suitable for you. What you lack now is not guidance, but traveling."

"travel?"

Li Yu nodded and said: "That's right, practice is going against the sky, so you have to work hard to move forward. If you want to break through the Dao, you have to want to understand this world. You practice in hiding in the mountains. When you look up, you can't see anything but earth and rocks, and you can't hear anything but mountains. Wind, how can we talk about breaking through. If people don’t see the majesty of the sea, the firmness of mountains and rivers, the excitement of the waves, and the joy and suffering of all beings, then they will not have a broad mind, and it will be difficult to achieve the great way.”

Ge Hong was silent for a long time, and said: "What Fellow Daoist said, makes people suddenly understand."

Looking at his appearance, Li Yu knew that he wanted to come up with it, and it would take him a long time to convince himself.

At this time, on the official road, a carriage came, surrounded by a hundred guards.

Sitting in the carriage was an old man dressed in Confucian clothing. He wore a high crown on his head, bright jade on his waist, and a long gray beard under his jaw.

He was casually looking at the customs of Xu Du, when he suddenly saw a tea stall, got out of the car, approached him and bowed to him.

Li Yu thought he had met an admirer again, and before he could say anything, he smiled and heard the man say, "So it's the real Baopuzi. I'm so happy to meet the real person here."

Ge Hong smiled embarrassingly, and asked politely, "Doctor Hua."

The visitor looked at Li Yu, and saw him talking with Ge Hong in the carriage, even preaching, so he knew that this person was definitely not simple.

Reminiscent of the gossip in Xu Du these days, he guessed that this Taoist priest was probably an upright Taoist.

Seeing his questioning gaze, Ge Hong hurriedly said, "This is the orthodox Taoist priest."

"Long time, long time!"

Ge Hong pointed to the man again and said, "Master, this is Huaxin from Dongwu, Doctor Hua."

"Nice to meet you."

Ge Hong is from Jiangdong, so it's no wonder that Hua Xin knows him. Judging from the appearance of the two, they have a good relationship.

Li Yu couldn't help but look at him a few more times, Hua Xin is so famous, the idiom cuts off the seat and sits in the middle, Hua Xin is the protagonist, but he is the one who was cut off.Generally, this kind of story must list their respective achievements in the future to demonstrate the importance of excellent qualities, but there is obviously no separation of seats.

The reason.
In fact, later Hua Xin became famous all over the world, while Guan Ning was unknown.Moreover, Hua Xin didn't hold any grudges, and even promoted Guan Ning who despised him at the beginning.

Compared to Guan Ning, Hua Xin was a great celebrity in the Six Dynasties.Hua Xin was also admired by people in Soochow. His moral character was far from being as bad as his reputation, and he could even be said to be a rare man of high integrity.

Hua Xin just got hacked too badly. If he was born in a certain era, he would have said: Hey, what are you doing, little blackie.

Li Yu was more sensitive to Soochow. After all, he still had to persuade Sun Quan, so he asked, "Dr. Hua came to Xudu, but was he sent by His Majesty Wu?"

Hua Xin smiled wryly and shook his head, "No, I came to Xudu to be summoned by Emperor Wei."

Li Yu was at a loss as to how the emperor of Wei summoned the courtiers of Soochow.Ge Hong didn't respond, he didn't think about it at all.
In fact, it was Cao Cao who admired Hua Xin so much that he wanted him to serve as an official under his command.

It stands to reason that this request is excessive and difficult to agree to.

But Sun Quan has been asking Cao Cao for these days, so he agreed.

There is another more important reason, Hua Xin has a very high prestige among the rich and noble families in Jiangdong.

Sun Quan has been intriguing with these Jiangdong gentry all his life, sending Hua Xin away in exchange for a few real benefits, Sun Quan is happy to do so.

Li Yu immediately invited Hua Xin and said, "If you don't mind the doctor, can we have a drink together?"

"Stick what you want, don't dare to ask for it."
