"This matter, discuss it again, and discuss it later."

The emperor of the Song Dynasty hesitated immediately when he heard Yue Si said that this matter cost a lot. The Song Dynasty was rich in finances, but not so rich. Otherwise, his palace would be far more than that.

Of course, more importantly, he had only met Yue Si for the first time, and he was not sure whether Yue Si was really capable. It would be too unwise to grant money just because of his few words.

Just like Guo Jing and Emperor Qinzong who were used as examples before, Emperor Qinzong and the court ministers who were in a hurry to seek medical treatment believed the words of Guo Jing, a liar, and awarded Guo Jing an official position, and bestowed tens of thousands of gold and silk, so that Guo Jing What kind of Liujia Shenbing was formed, but nothing changed in the end, Liujia Shenbing was just a joke.

However, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty still did not give up his plan of longevity, and asked Yue Si: "Master Taoist, you said that cultivating the Tao is difficult, but longevity is easy. What is the reason for this, can you... can you explain it to me."

Changing my address from '望' representing the emperor to 'I' means that the Emperor Song asked this question in his personal capacity, but the Emperor himself.

"There is nothing you can do." Yue Si raised his hand and said: "A cultivator is to learn the principles of heaven and earth, and a person who trains qi is to refine the original qi from all things in the world. The principles of heaven and earth operate."

"However, the vastness of the world cannot be exhausted by manpower. Zhuangzi once said, 'My life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit. If there is a limit, follow the limitless, and it will be over'. That's why the sages left a book of scriptures. It is the way they have already found out, and it is a feasible way, and future generations only need to learn how to walk the way."

"Master Daoist, I have also studied a lot of scriptures in my spare time, and I have also talked with monks and Taoists about mysteries, but I can't find the way. Why?" The Emperor of Song Dynasty still kept his leaning forward listening posture, Xunxian asked, Almost every emperor does that.

But regarding this question, Yue Si smiled and said nothing. Seeing Yue Si's expression, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty immediately understood some things that he, the emperor, could not know. It's all the same.

Afterwards, the Emperor of Song Dynasty asked, "Master Taoist, what about the method of longevity?"

"The method of longevity is simple, just change the diet." Yue Si continued: "He who eats water is good at swimming and cold, who eats soil has no heart and is wise, who eats wood has a lot of strength and brushes, and who eats grass is good at walking but is stupid. , Those who eat leaves have silk and become moths, those who eat meat are brave and fierce, those who eat energy are gods and live long, those who eat grains know wisdom and die. Those who do not eat do not die and become gods.”

"People eat five grains, sometimes meat and vegetables. They are wise but die young, brave and foolish. The limit of human life is 140 years old, but it is already considered a long life if you live past [-]. The problem lies in the diet. If you want to live longer, you need to change your diet."

"Eating Qi can lead to longevity?"

The Emperor Song couldn't wait to ask, his hands couldn't help asking because of his emotions.

"Eating Qi can lead to longevity." Yue Si replied.

Hearing Yue Si's affirmative answer, the Emperor Song was overjoyed and finally relaxed. He sat back on the dragon chair and laughed for a long time before saying to Yue Si: "The Daoist is laughing. . . . I couldn't be happier."

"It doesn't matter, but, although eating qi is not considered as a practice, it is not something that can be done by ordinary means." Yue Si said: "Just like the food you usually eat, you need to plant, harvest, thresh, dry, grind, and cook. To be able to formally enter the mouth, it is not enough to just eat the qi directly, and what kind of qi can be eaten, what kind of qi can't be eaten, and what kind of qi is harmful to people, these all need to be distinguished."

Hearing this, the Emperor of Song Dynasty straightened his back again, as if he was listening to a teacher's lecture when he was young, he put on a posture of listening carefully and said: "Master Daoist, please read carefully."

"Daozu preached and divided the Qi of heaven and earth into 1000 two hundred and ninety-six types. Although each type of gas has such and other differences when subdivided, the classification of 96 two hundred and ninety-six types is enough to cover all, beyond the 1000 two hundred and ninety-six There are also kinds of qi, but they are just details and cannot be counted." Yue Si said: "However, there are only a few kinds of qi that can be touched in the world, and food qi must be distinguished from these qi."

"Master Dao, how can you tell the difference?" What Yue Si said was beyond the scope of the Song emperor's knowledge, so he couldn't help asking, and the maids and eunuchs standing around were also listening.

Yue Si and Emperor Song didn't let them go away, and they didn't deliberately avoid it when they talked. Of course, they remembered as much as they could, and they might be able to get a word or two from it and change their own destiny.

"Take a deep breath." Yue Si said with a smile.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty followed the words and did it, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the breath is the breath."

"Yes, it's not all right." Yue Si said: "What you inhale and exhale is just a kind of qi. Although you can't see it or touch it, you can feel it. There are similar heat, cold, and humidity, but these It cannot be used as gas for food."

"Then, Daoist Priest, what kind of Qi is edible?" the Emperor Song asked impatiently.

"Luck!" Yue Si said: "The only thing that can be eaten by ordinary people in the world is luck. This kind of luck is invisible and qualityless, but it can completely affect a person. To eat Qi is to eat luck!"

"Master Dao, how can this illusory luck be eaten?" After Yue Si's flickering before and after, and the stimulation of the secret magic of the heart, the emperor of Song Dynasty has become impatient.

Seeing that the Emperor Song's thinking was constantly being induced by himself, Yue Si said: "If it's just a demonstration, a formation is enough, but a person with enough luck is needed."

"Why?" Emperor Song asked curiously.

"Because from the very beginning, I was the one who said everything, and I can't convince you at all. You can only be convinced if you use some tricks." The smile on Yue Si's face has not receded. see you.

"In this world, people are the most auspicious existence. From the moment of birth, everyone has his own luck. The so-called one fate, two luck, three Feng Shui, four merits and five books."

"In the previous dynasties, the emperor could not practice, because the national luck was only one person, and the practice of eating qi was to shake the national destiny and cause shooting turmoil. In the former Han Dynasty, there was a curse of witchcraft, which was caused by seeking longevity. The loss of national luck has shaken the foundation of the country, resulting in unstable design and harming our own prince."

When the Emperor Song heard Yue Si's explanation, he couldn't help but yelled "Oops!" Why did he want to live forever? Isn't it just to sit in his position for a longer time and continue to enjoy the current life with his current status? Life.

If Changsheng wants to give up his position, he is not very willing.

But Yue Si's next words dispelled the doubts of the emperor of Song Dynasty, saying: "My Song Dynasty is different from the previous dynasty. The national destiny is not tied to the emperor alone, but to share the world with the literati. Half of the national destiny is divided by those literati and literati. Let's go, congenital deficiencies lead to weak national strength, and only then have Xixia, Liao, Jin and other great enemies."

Hearing something about national power, the emperor of the Song Dynasty couldn't sit still anymore, and his posture of listening carefully changed again.

Yue Si continued to talk in detail: "Although it is harmful to the national power of the Song Dynasty, it is good for longevity. Those scholar-bureaucrats carry a ray of national luck, and they can get fame and rank in high positions. They also have great luck. Yes, devouring their luck is all about gain and nothing harm, I don’t have many other things in Song Dynasty, but I have the most scholars!”

"Lao Tzu once said: 'The way of heaven damages more than enough and makes up for what is not enough. The way of humanity is not the same, and the damage is not enough to give more than enough'. It is in line with human reason to support you with the luck of scholar-bureaucrats, not to mention the part of them. Luck, originally belonged to you, now it’s just a matter of taking back what’s yours.”

Under Yue Si's "perseverance and good temptation", the Emperor Song finally couldn't bear it anymore, and with a wave of his hand, he wanted Yue Si to experiment. By analogy, he was in a state of consumption impulse.

A group of people came to the garden, chose a piece of flat land, and according to Yue Si's request, brought a little each of gold, silver, copper, iron, and jade. Yue Si fired a real fire in his hand and melted the gold, silver, copper, and iron into liquid , and then tear them into filaments, use these filaments as materials, draw runes on the ground, combine the runes, inlay broken jade on the joints, and then form a magic circle.

The superficial formation just looks like that, but it doesn't work at all.

But these are enough to prove that Yue Si is a true cultivator, not a charlatan, who has real talents and real learning.

The next step is to verify the function of this formation. Of course, the Emperor Song would not come to this kind of thing in person. He has his own maids or eunuchs to act as experimental mice for him, and it is none other than the one who volunteered to sacrifice himself. The eunuch who had a brief conversation with Yue Si before - he stood up actively under the gesture of Yue Si's eyes.

"However, for food, who needs to contribute luck, where do we choose from?" the Emperor Song asked.

"Coincidentally, I have a candidate here." Yue Si said a name: "I met him once before, and the luck in his body is not insignificant. Extracting and eating can change people the most. obvious."

The eunuch knew the name that Yue Si uttered, because he told Yue Si that it was the high official who scolded Yue Si as a "demon" not long ago - he was able to do it in front of the emperor. Persuasion, it is impossible for the position to be low.

The eunuch immediately understood that this was Yue Si's revenge. Perhaps, when Yue Si asked him about that person's position and name, he had already planned the current matter.

The eunuch didn't know the consequences of extracting luck, but after thinking about it, he knew it was not a good thing. That high official who offended Yue Si with a word, tsk tsk...

Today's emperor of the Song Dynasty has become extremely excited under the stimulation of his demons and thoughts and Yue Si's painting of big cakes, and hastily ordered an eunuch to invite the high official from the court.

The senior official was on duty, and the eunuch who was dispatched saw him very smoothly, and after a little ambiguity, the senior official put down the teacup in his hand and followed the eunuch into the palace again.

cup?When the sent eunuch arrived, the senior official was drinking tea and chatting instead of dealing with official business.

Official business, that is what the people below do. He only needs to outline the outline and guide the general direction. Do you still remember the "three redundancy" of the Song Dynasty mentioned a long time ago?Redundancy of officials is one of them. I don’t lack anything else in the Song Dynasty, but there are many officials. As many bosses say, if you don’t do this job, there are people who will do it.

The court official followed the little eunuch all the way to a garden in the palace, and saw that the Emperor Song was anxiously waiting for a long time, and Yue Si was also standing in this garden. The Emperor of Song Dynasty had a long conversation.

The current situation is not a good thing.

"Hmph, Yaodao!"

After frowning coldly at Yue Si, the court officials bowed their hands to the emperor and said, "My lord, please refer to Your Majesty. I don't know why the officials asked me to come here?"

"Aiqing, you move two steps to the left." The Emperor Song didn't say anything, but impatiently asked the senior official to move and stand where he should stand.

Regarding the position of the beneficiary and the sacrifice during the operation of the formation, Yue Si had explained to the Emperor Song before that the eunuch who was the mouse had already stood where he should stand, and the rest was this The position of the senior officials in the court has changed.

The officials in the court didn't know why, but they moved to a suitable position on the formation according to the order of the emperor of Song Dynasty.

"Master, it's alright."

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty nodded to Yue Si, and Yue Si pointed at the formation on the ground, and it shone brightly, which made the Emperor of the Song Dynasty amazed, and then Yue Si took the opportunity to extract the fortune and longevity of that senior member of the court. , using the Great Devouring Technique to transform it into billowing vitality, retain half of it, and put half of it into the eunuch's body.

The eunuch felt a warm current surge in his body, and his body, which had been bent over and bowed his head all year round, straightened involuntarily, his eyes became brighter than before, and what he saw became clearer.

In the eyes of the Emperor Song and other eunuchs, what happened to that eunuch was a miracle of rejuvenation—it was not really that strong, but his back was straight, his white hair turned black, and the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out. Eyes that are cloudy with age become clearer.

This was enough to shock people, and the Emperor Song was already stunned and couldn't help applauding.

The senior official in the court didn't know how much he had lost. Yue Si only left him five years of life, but he was close at hand when he also saw the change of the eunuch. He was so shocked that his pupils shrank to the size of a pinprick. His cognition I can't understand what happened, but it must be related to the formation under my feet.

The eunuch also had a horrified look on his face, and after sensing something, he knelt down facing the Emperor Song with a plop, kowtowed repeatedly and said in a crying voice: "Officials, this old slave will no longer be able to serve you anymore! "
