Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 675

Night falls and the moon rises.

When Chen Zhi returned to his own house, he saw the Ma family who had been taken over. Under the leadership of Ma Shou, they thanked Chen Zhi one by one.

Chen Zhi waved his hands and said, "You are doing things for Chen, how can I just let it go?" After some comfort, Ma Fu and others left with a lot of gratitude, while the old man Ma Shoux stayed.

Chen Zhi said bluntly: "Mr. Ma, since you asked your family to come over, you must also know that if this person doesn't come, you can still hide something. Once a person comes to my place, there is nothing to hide. As long as you have a little care to explore, you can know it."

Ma Shou nodded, held up his hands and said: "Everything depends on the prefect's arrangement. Since I have informed the prefect of the news, I guess this matter cannot be hidden from anyone who cares. Instead of taking the risk of staying and gaining a possible stability, it is better to accept the prefect's appointment." This is my kind intention, so that the prefect can know that we really have no second thoughts."

Hearing this, Chen Zhi nodded his head: "It's the best for the old man to think so. As long as you are in my house, I will definitely not let you make any mistakes!"

"Thank you, Governor!" Ma Shou thanked him and left.

Because it was a temporary arrangement, and they were not Chen Zhi's relatives, these people were not arranged in the back house, but in the wing room in the front yard.

However, although Chen Zhi's Chen Mansion is not very big, the layout and arrangements inside are very clever, making full use of the space. The furnishings inside have also been changed by Chen Duo these days, so it can be said to be low-key. Luxurious, ancient and elegant, Ma Shou and others felt comfortable as soon as they entered, and all the worries and restraints in their hearts were washed away.

After bidding farewell to the Ma Shou family, Chen Zhi went straight to the study room in the back house, took out many manuscripts, and began to write.

"The Tongdian will be completely released soon. This is also an opportunity to use printing technology. Li Li's preparations are almost completed. And if this printing technology is officially implemented, it will probably be a good opportunity to gain fame. Maybe it can make people The gold liquid of fame is replenished, and after all, we are just a little short of reaching the fifth square! The signatures on this fifth square are different every time!"

The entire five-element scale grid, a total of five grids, is consumed all at once, and the obtained ones are signed. Even if the abilities you possess cannot be said to change the world, they can also turn decay into magic. Some of them will not show their effects at the time, but The value will eventually be reflected.

"Like my second rebirth!"

Thinking of this, Chen Zhi was confused about the current situation.

"But why is there no sense of growth in this last point now? Even in the previous life, although it was also difficult to accumulate and it seemed that there was no progress, you can still feel a slow growth change, but now it is really I don’t have any feelings at all. Could it be because of this copper plate? After getting this copper plate, it will be of great help..."

While he was thinking here, Chen Duo suddenly came over and reported a piece of news——

"Your Majesty, the two Taoist priests are asking to see you!"

"Ge Lu is here at this time?" Chen Zhi nodded. Although he was a little surprised, Ge Lu has been busy at the mine these days, and many problems have indeed arisen. It is reasonable for him to come here to find him at this time. He was about to tell Chen Duo to bring the people over, but he was stunned immediately.

"You just said they were two Taoist priests?" He looked at Chen Duo and asked, "There is another Taoist priest Ge, who is it?"

Chen Duo bowed and replied: "Besides Taoist Ge Lu, there is another one. They seem to be about the same age, but Taoist Ge Lu is respectful. I have also seen Taoist Ge Lu a few times. Every time, this person has been handsome and handsome, with a heart-warming bearing, but today he is extra cautious."

Chen Zhi nodded, and then asked: "If you say so, then the second Taoist Ge probably did not reveal his identity, so how did you know his last name?"

Chen Duo said, "It's the surname that the priest reported himself."

When Chen Zhi heard this, he already had a guess in his mind, and immediately ordered Chen Duo to bring the people over, but then he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I will go and greet him personally."

With that said, he walked forward quickly, and when he arrived at the gate, he finally saw the two figures. He immediately smiled and said: "Why, the wind has invited the Taoist priest here. The whole house is really full of glory. That day." Farewell, now that I think about it, the Taoist Master’s demeanor is still clear in my mind.”

Outside the door, there were two people wearing Taoist robes. One of them looked calm, while the other looked cautious. Standing next to No. 1 was Ge Lu.

The Taoist with a calm expression smiled and said: "The prefect said something serious. A poor Taoist is just a scattered person in the mountains with a little reputation. I don't deserve such praise from the prefect, but the prefect's current achievements are beyond comparison."

It turned out that this person was the little immortal Ge Hong who had contact with Chen Zhi in Pengcheng that day.

This Ge Hong had been in seclusion a few years ago and had written a book called Baopuzi. Before that, he had already become famous.

The Ge family behind Ge Hong was originally a Taoist family. Tracing the origin of Taoism can even be directly linked to Zuo Ci in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

And Ge Hong's fame is not due to his family background, he himself is proficient in Taoist classics, and he is even a master in metaphysics, so he is called the little fairy.Chen Zhi had invited such a person before he went north, and Ge Hong also agreed to accompany him. However, the fatigue of the carriage and horses was not conducive to Chen Zhi's revision of the book. In the end, he declined politely, but sent his nephew and disciple Ge Hong. Lu followed Chen Zhi to maintain the relationship between the two parties.

Ge Lu's help to Chen Zhi also increased day by day, and he was gradually valued. However, in front of Ge Hong, he still adhered to his duty and did not dare to be disrespectful at all. It also highlighted the Taoist priest's ability from the side.

However, the invitation did not come before, but now it suddenly appears after the war. What is the reason?
Although confused, Chen Zhi did not forget the etiquette and invited Ge Hong and Ge Lu to enter the courtyard and go directly to the main hall.

But while walking, he was also thinking about the reasons behind it.

Calculated by time, Ge Hong has now arrived in Dai County, which means that he set off from Xuzhou a month or two ago. information.

"When the war in Dai County first broke out, no one was optimistic about this place. Even within and outside the county, those who could leave or escape did so as soon as possible. Those who stayed were either unable to leave or had someone to rely on. It can be seen that at that time The situation was so bad. Before the war, others did not expect that new weapons would appear. However, Ge Hong knew the news halfway and might have just stepped into the war-torn Jizhou. In this situation, not only did he not retreat, but he actually came over. What’s the reason?”

Chen Zhi thought secretly, and went to the main hall with Ge Hong and Ge Lu. The lights were already brightly lit here, and the servants at home had already prepared some snacks.

Chen Zhi asked Ge Hong if he had eaten dinner. If not, he asked his servant to prepare it. When he learned that Ge Hong had already eaten before coming, he gave up and asked someone to bring some fruits. The servants withdrew, leaving only the scholar's belongings.

As everyone sat down at the table, they followed the customs and started talking about family matters, saying some useless words.

It was nothing more than Chen Zhi and Ge Hong exchanging business bragging, and then Chen Zhi expressed how much Ge Lu had helped him, while Ge Hong thanked Chen Zhi for taking care of Ge Lu.

Over time, the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

However, the doubts in Chen Zhi's heart still lingered. According to normal thinking, under the previous situation, even the unprofitable merchants who could not afford it early would not dare to take the risk to come to Daijun. They were worried that it would not be easy to come here. , what ushered in was a dilapidated city.

However, Chen Zhi knew very well that since Ge Hong was here, he would definitely explain the reasons, so he was not in a hurry.

Sure enough, Ge Hong said next: "Prefect, you must be wondering why Pindao arrived at this time."

"That's right." Seeing that he finally got to the point, Chen Zhi didn't hide his thoughts, "I wonder what's the reason for this?"

"If the prefect knew what Pindao had done in the past, he should probably know what Pindao wanted, right?" Ge Hong did not answer directly, but instead asked a question.

Next to him, Chen Wu, who was waiting beside Chen Zhi, couldn't help muttering in his heart, these celebrities and those who talk about mysteries just like to play mysteries, and if they have nothing to ask, it seems that they can only see through his purpose and understand them. life, to continue the following conversation, how tired, just say no?
Thinking this, he couldn't help but shake his head, but he still tried his best to listen.

Chen Zhi, who was standing next to him, looked as normal and said with a smile: "How could I not know that Taoist leader's ambition is enough to shine through the ages? You want to establish a Taoist lineage for all Taoists in the world and find the right path!"

"The term Taoism has been around since ancient times, but it is now known to the world only through a piece of "Shi Shuo" written by the prefect. As for the idea of ​​a poor Taoist, it is not humane at all, let alone ambition. At most It is the words of the family that establish the orthodoxy of our Ge family." Ge Hong shook his head and said in a sincere tone, "Of course, if it can inspire a little bit about the Tao and make it known to more people, that would be a blessing."

This is not an exaggeration, brother, your future achievements will be passed down for thousands of years.

Thinking this in his heart, Chen Zhi still praised him.

Ge Hong followed suit and said: "Poverty Dao's thoughts are nothing more than to rectify the names of gods and immortals. Because today's world talks about metaphysics, revering the old and respecting the village, and this metaphysics is the origin of my family's theory. No matter how mysterious the meaning of metaphysics is, it is after all a common saying, not a divine way, and it is just a small thing that can be done by a poor person."

Humility, you are so humble. The impact of your small work on future generations is truly earth-shaking.

Chen Zhi was thinking in his mind, but he also understood that Ge Hong's statement was actually to find a lofty origin for his own theory and to move closer to Huang Lao's theory. However, as one of the founders of Taoist theory in later generations, although his theory There is a lot of Taoist aftertaste, but Taoism itself and Taoism are not the same thing.

"However, the reason why this alchemy master came here is probably related to his theory, but why did he come to Daijun? Could it be..."

Inexplicably, Chen Zhi thought of the Baijia lotus tube.
