Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 677: Yuan Henry and Zhen, everyone has his own destiny

"Should it be on me?"

Chen Zhi was surprised when he heard this. Although he had guessed that there might be some mysterious reason why Ge Hong went north, but no matter how he guessed, he never thought that it would be such a reason.

He originally thought that Ge Hong was involved in some issues when he was writing the book. He happened to hear the rumors about his Tongdian, so he came to inquire and prepared some excuses. However, he did not expect that the other party directly said "Yuan Henry Zhen" Throw it over.

Caught off guard.

While he was still thinking, Ge Hong on the other side gave a further explanation.

This master of alchemy obviously also knew that what he said was really far-fetched. Saying it rashly would inevitably surprise and surprise people. Even though people in today's world like to talk about mysteries, and there are even some people who pretend to be mystical, talking about mysteries can't be done. The heart of a person is not a mess. It often has its own academic and spiritual core. It is under control anyway. If it escapes from control, it will often be refuted by others, which means that its reputation will be damaged.

In Ge Hong's opinion, a celebrity and powerful governor like Chen Zhi must have liked to have everything under control. Hearing such words rashly without being prepared in advance would still make him feel a little uncomfortable after all.

Therefore, what he said later gave Chen Zhi a little understanding of the cause and effect——

"This part written by Pindao is originally about pursuing the theory of Yuan Henry Zhen's four elements. That family tradition is called 'Yuan'. My ancestor studied under the immortal master Zuo Gong, which was the beginning. Today we talk about Xuan. It is the context that enables the mystic learning to spread widely; and there is no shortage of books that have been passed down through family traditions, and there are many people who are knowledgeable about the mystical. It allows the poor Taoist to come into contact with the true meaning of Taoism, so that he can understand the classics. This is "Heng". '; On the other hand, the family's academic background and reputation are spread, the clan members have made many achievements, and there are smart people coming to join them. There are many uncles, brothers, and disciples, as well as many disciples of poor Taoism, and people gather together. This is 'Profitable'."

"So that's it. This 'Yuan Henry' is the Taoist master's accumulation, so he can write in retreat." Chen Zhi nodded, feeling that these words sounded mysterious, but if he thought about it carefully, it was similar to the meaning of the right time, place, and people.

In today's world, hundreds of schools of thought are coming back to prominence. This is the right time.

Without such a social environment and a stable social situation, ideological and moral construction would be water without a source and a tree without roots, and it would not be able to stand up at all.

As for Ge Hong's family, they basically learned magical alchemy, mixed with Taoist teachings, and were able to come into contact with many outstanding people and scholars. They had a foundation of family inheritance and did not have to spend time and energy studying, which was a good location.

Without this favorable geographical location, one would be like a student from a poor family, who even has trouble eating and dressing. He would cut down on clothes and diet in order to study and study. One-third of his life would be spent on getting promoted, and he would often have little foundation. After that, his desire to learn also changed, and he was unable to write any academic articles at all. Therefore, Ge Hong's conditions allowed him to achieve great achievements at a young age. Otherwise, ordinary geniuses would become famous at a young age. Trapped by family circumstances, he will inevitably lose everyone in the end.

As for the tribesmen, teachers, and disciples mentioned by him, it is obvious that they are Hehe.

In the final analysis, everything is done by people. With connections, it cannot be said that everything will be unfavorable, but it is inevitable to get twice the result with half the effort. At least many things can be solved with just one sentence.

It is by no means an easy task to write a work that can be passed down through the ages. Many people don’t even think about it. For people like Ge Hong, some of his works are lost, but the remaining fragments are still of great value. .To create such a work, you not only need talent and time, but also a lot of investment and resources. At the very least, you must have a deep foundation.

For example, Chen Zhi wrote the Tongdian, which seems to be the work of one person. In fact, he gathered hundreds of years of wisdom. He also relied on a large collection of books in his heart, used scientific organizing and induction methods, and compared and compared many times in his mind. Only by making trade-offs and trade-offs can it be completed, but even so, he has no way to write out all the classics in one breath——

On the one hand, this is to whet his appetite, and on the other hand, it is because it is really not a simple job. The workload involved is too great. When Chen Zhi needs to make preparations before the war, he cannot spare his energy at all, even if it is just Searching in the memory collection is too time-consuming.

If one person is like this, the situation of Ge Hong is even more conceivable.

In order to write a book, he had to gather the right people at the right time, the right place and the three of Yuan Henry's Zhenzhong, but how to explain the fourth one?

"Is it really related to me?"

Ge Hong breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that the previous narration had made him tense up. Now he relaxed and said with a smile: "This Yuan Henry Zhen, the fourth one represents, in Pindao's view, it is Zhenggu." , if I can understand the original story clearly, this book of mine can really be a highlight. There may be an opportunity to be passed down to future generations, to the vast Taoist schools, and to alchemy. However, I have been unable to think clearly about this for a long time. .”

"What's the key?" Chen Zhi frowned, "Chen asked himself, he only knows a little bit about Taoism, and most of it can be attributed to the history of Taoism, which belongs to the category of half a historian. I don't I think it can be of great help to the Taoist priest."

"Haha, to be honest, I am also confused," Ge Hong laughed, "This matter was determined by Yi Gua, so I came here because of me. I thought that after meeting the prefect, Then you can have a clear understanding, but who knows, after what I said, the poor Taoist still didn't understand what he meant, and the prefect became confused, so it seems that this visit was really presumptuous."

"Oh?" Chen Zhi's heart stirred. He didn't expect that Ge Hong's arrival was actually because of Yi Gua. Taking this mysterious thing as a reference, is it related to something even more mysterious?
"No wonder, no wonder," thinking about it, Chen Zhi shook his head, "No wonder Chen is still thinking that when the Taoist priest left, the news of the war between my generation and the county must have spread. Why did he say that The elder still wants to come, so the root cause lies in this, so it can be seen that the Taoist chief's heart to seek the Tao is really strong."

Ge Hong shook his head and said: "Pindao didn't know the news of the war until halfway, but he had already passed Jizhou and was in a dilemma. Fortunately, with a little favor, he had some friendship with Zu Ti, the prefect of Jiyin. He sent troops to protect him for a few days. When I was thinking about whether to return or not, news of the prefect’s victory came, but there was no need to worry.”

Chen Zhi nodded, followed his heart, and said: "Now that the Taoist priest has met Chen, he doesn't understand the key point, so what's his plan? If you don't dislike it, why don't you stay here first and investigate carefully."

"This is also Pindao's wish," Ge Hong said without any pretense, "To be honest, there were some manuscripts in Pindao's carriage going north this time. What he was most worried about along the way was that the manuscripts were scattered. Now that he has come here, he happens to be with The prefect asks for advice."

"This is a good thing, you can only ask for it!" Chen Zhi was really happy when he heard this. He was planning to explore the Taoist mysteries to see if he could get a better understanding of the situation of the Baijia lotus tube.

In addition, allowing Ge Hong to stay here temporarily is also of great significance and has practical significance.
