The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 437 Taoism
Xu Fu was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.

Finally, I have the opportunity to realize my ambitions!
With the king's attention, you will have everything as long as you make achievements.

What people lack most is opportunities!

Xu Fu was quite confident in his alchemy skills, what he lacked was such an opportunity!
After the two left the Xianyang Palace, Zou Shi warned Xu Fu: "Lord Yunzhong, misfortune is the root of fortune, and fortune is the root of misfortune."

"Do you know why the king wants you to make an elixir that can prolong life and preserve youth?"

Xu Fu calmed his mind, thought carefully, and replied carefully: "Everyone in the world fears death, especially the powerful and wealthy. This is human nature."

Zou Shi glanced at Xu Fu and said slowly: "Your Majesty has great power and it would be easy for you to live to be a hundred years old."

"Besides, Your Majesty has a strong and resilient character, and a broad mind. How could you be so obsessed with life and death?"

"Even if you are persistent, it's not the right time. Your Majesty is only in his early twenties, and you are still full of vigor and vitality. Why would you worry about your life span?"

Xu Fu replied in surprise, "I heard that the king is very far-sighted. It would take more than a day to refine the elixir that prolongs life and preserves youth. It is possible that he prepared it in advance."

Zou Shi nodded: "That is the reason, but the biggest reason is that this elixir is not for the king to use. The king should give it to Queen Mother Zhao and Master Nian Duan."

"Otherwise, why did the king emphasize that ordinary people can also take it?"

Xu Fu suddenly realized and said, "So that's the case. This makes sense. It must be the Queen Mother Xia's death that touched the king."

Zou Shi nodded and said, "That must be the case."

"Your Majesty has been dependent on Queen Mother Zhao since childhood, and their relationship was very deep. Queen Mother Xia's death from illness must have made Your Majesty anxious."

"Master Nian Duan is much older than the king, but the king has always loved Master Nian Duan and has a son and a daughter with Master Nian Duan. The king asked Master Nian Duan to participate in this matter. In addition to the fact that Master Nian Duan is indeed an indispensable doctor with excellent medical skills, the king also considers Master Nian Duan for his own benefit."

Xu Fu nodded, saying that everything was clear now.

As for the relationship between Master Nian Duan and the king, hey, anyone who wants to serve in the Qin State and has some information channels would know it.

If you don't even know who you should not offend in Xianyang, what are you still doing there?
Zou Shi warned Xu Fu: "It is indeed a good thing that you are valued by the king now. You will be promoted to a high position with high salary, and you will be rich and prosperous. With the support of the Qin Dynasty, you can study and improve your alchemy skills without worrying about manpower and material resources. These are all good things."

"But if you fail to do this well, or even make things worse, then you will be dead. No one can save you. Even the entire Yin-Yang family will be hit hard because of you."

Zou Shi sighed and said, "I was humble just now, not because I don't believe in your ability, but because I love you."

"You can't afford any mishaps with Queen Mother Zhao, Master Nian Duan, or any of the king's close friends."

"But since you have taken on this responsibility, there is nothing you can do about it. You must be extremely careful."

After being reminded by Zou Shi, Xu Fu finally calmed down from his excitement.

But after all, it is the age of youth, full of vigor and vitality, not hesitant and full of confidence.

Xu Fu replied: "Thank you Dong, thank you for your love and care, I have confidence, with the help of Daqin and Master Nian Duan, I can definitely prolong my life and maintain my youth!"

"With the help of Daqin, we can get all the rare treasures in the world, and it is impossible that we cannot make the elixir."

Zou Shi replied, "It's good that you know this, but you must not be lazy. The Taoists also have masters of alchemy. Based on my understanding of the king, the king will certainly ask the Taoists to make the elixir, and he will not work with you, but will make the elixir separately."

"The Taoists and our Yin-Yang family have always been at odds. Your life and death, honor and disgrace, and the honor and disgrace of the Yin-Yang family all depend on you now. If you need anything, just ask, and I will do my best to help you."

Xu Fu smiled confidently and said, "Thank you for your support, Master."

"The Taoists are better at the art of inner alchemy, and in recent years, I haven't heard of anyone proficient in outer alchemy. When it comes to refining pills, the Taoists are no match for our Yin-Yang School."

Zou Shi warned: "Don't be careless. Taoism has a long history and is unique. Our Yin-Yang School also separated from Taoism."

Xu Fu nodded and said: "I am learning from you, but I will always be better than you. I have the confidence to do this."

Zou Shi nodded and smiled, "It's good to have this ambition. When you go back, you should also prepare to move, right?"

Xu Fu was stunned.

Zou Shi laughed and said, "Your Majesty is very generous and never skimps on money. Anyone you value will be given wealth and splendor."

"Now the king values ​​you and has promoted you to the rank of doctor. Just wait. In two or three days at the latest, the king will grant you a mansion, luxury cars, gold and silver treasures, and beautiful attendants."

"Come to think of it, we are both doctors."

Xu Fu was delighted in his heart. Hearing the last sentence, he quickly replied: "Master, what are you talking about? How dare I compare myself with you? All I have learned is the achievements of Yin-Yang School. I will always be a member of Yin-Yang School."

Zou Shi nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile: "I just mentioned it casually. Of course I believe you. We are a family."

As for what you think in your heart, that is another matter.

However, Zou Shi did attach great importance to this matter. He had always been worried about the development of the Yin-Yang School in Daqin, and now this was a great opportunity.

Unexpectedly, alchemy became the opportunity for the Yin-Yang School to come to the fore. Zou Shi also made up his mind to fully support Xu Fu.

After Zou Xie and Xu Fu left, Ying Zheng thought for a while. People always want to move up, and not everyone in an organization is of the same mind. Putting Xu Fu and Zou Xie on the same status can not only reduce the influence of the Yin-Yang family on Xu Fu, but also allow Xu Fu to gradually grow stronger. I value Xu Fu, so naturally there will be people approaching Xu Fu, and Zou Xie can't stop them.

The Yin-Yang Family cannot afford the price I offer. It would be a good thing if we could split the Yin-Yang Family into two.

There's no rush, give him some time.

The Yin-Yang School is about to be completely emptied out.

Zou Shi's guess was correct. That afternoon, someone went to convey the imperial decree, granting Xu Fu a mansion, a carriage, one thousand pieces of gold, a hundred pieces of silk, twenty attendants, and ten beauties.

Xu Fu was extremely excited and filled with emotion. Before today, he was unknown in the world and was not valued in the Yin-Yang School.

But in just one day, he had become a doctor of the Qin Dynasty, became famous overnight, and had all the wealth and glory he wanted.

As a person, you should always be a superior person and make sure you choose the right path!
Look at this mansion, these luxury cars, and these pretty girls. I never dared to imagine this before.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Once people have experienced wealth, they can no longer tolerate mediocrity.

Once a person is in a high position, it is impossible for him to be respectful to people in the same position as him.

Human nature has always been like this.

The emperor's tactics are nothing more than targeting human nature. There is no need for conspiracy or trickery. All you need to do is give human nature a push.

The way to employ people, the way to check and balance, and the way to apply them all lie in one's heart.

The next day, Ying Zheng immediately summoned Taoist Tianzong Chisongzi and Renzong Mingzhezi.

In recent years, Tianzong has developed very well under the leadership of Chisongzi, and with the support of Ying Zheng, it is naturally very good.

He had already taken over as the leader of the Tian Sect, and had been suppressing the Ren Sect.

Chisongzi was extremely grateful that he had chosen the right person.

Unlike the Human Sect, who is slow at every step.

In recent years, I have achieved both fame and fortune, been promoted to the head of a sect, and hold a high position in wealth and honor. It's simply perfect.

Even the people of Tianzong, seeing the development of Chisongzi, could not help but appear in the world one after another. Now Tianzong is more worldly than Renzong.

There are people up there, why don’t they come out?

Do you really think it's comfortable in the mountains? Watching a big tiger baring its teeth is not that interesting!
In this world, who can truly escape from reality?
I also want to make a living as a librarian.

Besides, this is not just a matter of making a living.

You will be rich and prosperous in material terms, and all your spiritual ambitions can be realized.

Your fame will spread far and wide and will go down in history, bringing honor to your ancestors and blessings to your descendants.

Now that the opportunity has come, how can we not seize it at the risk of our lives?

How can a real man live in obscurity, be depressed and frustrated, and rot among the grass and trees?

Chisongzi has three sons in these years. What about the birth of a child? Bullshit!
As for Mingzhezi, he was slow at every step.

Chisongzi was already a world-famous Taoist master, the teacher of the King of Qin, and a minister in the palace.

After the King of Qin ascended the throne, Chisongzi was promoted successively and had already become Fengchang. The Taoist clan and the Yin-Yang school were also ranked below Chisongzi.

To put it bluntly, Chisongzi is the number one Taoist (with the greatest power) in the world today.

He Mingzhezi also thought so!
In the past, Laozi rode a green ox across Hangu Pass, and Yin Xi looked into the east to see the rising sun, and saw a vast purple cloud covering an area of ​​eight thousand miles. 'The sun rises in the east, and the purple cloud comes from the east.'

Laozi arrived riding a green ox, so he worshipped Laozi as his teacher, resigned from his official position and followed Laozi westward along the Immortal Road of Qinling Mountains and Zhongnan Mountains, passing through Shaanxi and Gansu, and finally returned to Guanzhong and settled in Zhongnan Mountains. Since then, Zhongnan Mountains has been the ancestral home of Taoism and the most blessed place in the world.

The saying "live as long as the Southern Mountains" refers to Mount Zhongnan.

The Taoist headquarters is now in Taiyi Mountain. Where is Taiyi Mountain? It is just beside Xianyang! Taiyi Mountain is a branch peak of Zhongnan Mountain, located at the northern foot of Qinling Mountains.

Therefore, Taoism has always been a staunch supporter of the Qin Dynasty, because it is right at the doorstep of the Qin Dynasty, or it would be more appropriate to say, in the heart of the country.

It was also because the Qin State gave priority to the Legalists that it gradually became estranged from the Taoists. However, even so, the relationship between the two schools was still very good.

After all, the deal is not there, but the sincerity is.

After the Legalists became the only school of thought in the Qin Dynasty, the Tian Sect was better off. After all, the Qin royal family did not reduce its offerings to Taoism much, and there were not many people in the Tian Sect. In addition, many of them were content with their poverty and devoted themselves to practicing Taoism, so it could be considered peaceful.

The most anxious one is the Renzong, which advocates entering the world, but the Qin Dynasty does not need that!

His hometown was close to Xianyang, so he didn't dare to join other princes to fight against the Qin State. This was really troublesome.
