Chapter 119 Gold Medal
Xu Xian was led by the young eunuch to a warm pavilion in the back hall.
Emperor Jiayu stood with his head bowed in front of the window. Outside the window, the sky was high and the moon was small, and he could see the square Chang'an City in the hazy mist.
"Your Majesty, Xu Xian is here!"
"Let him in!"
"My dear Xu Xian, long live my emperor!"
Emperor Jiayu turned his head and said, "No more courtesy!" and then waved his hand to order everyone around to retreat.
Xu Xian stood there with his hands down, observing the Ninth Five Supreme Being at a close distance for the first time.
Emperor Jiayu was not wearing the luxurious bright yellow dragon robe at this moment, but was dressed in casual clothes. If it weren't for his calm and self-confident aura, with his gray hair and beard, he would look no different from an ordinary old man.
Emperor Jiayu said kindly: "Xu Xian, do you know why I want you to come?"
"Is it because of the alchemy thing?"
Emperor Jiayu did not expect him to be so frank, "It seems you have already met your master."
Xu Xian said calmly: "Well, I have seen it before!"
Emperor Jiayu asked calmly: "Did he ask you anything?"
"The master wants to refine the Dragon and Tiger Golden Elixir, and asked me to get the two herbs needed to make the elixir. One is called Ziyun Dragon King Ginseng, which is located in my hometown of Hangzhou. The other is called Qimingzhi, which is deep in the trench of the sea!"
"Okay, okay!" Emperor Jiayu looked slightly excited, twirling his beard, and walked a few steps in the room! Suddenly he showed doubts, "I heard that even the best fisherman can't dive deep into the sea.
, I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to get it?”
"I have a small amount of success in Taoism, and it can be obtained in the sea. But the master said that there will be other instructions at that time, so he will go back to Qiantang first and get the Ziyun Dragon King Ginseng. After consulting the master, he will go to the sea to get it.
medicine!"
Emperor Jiayu said: "Okay, if you complete these two errands, I will also reward you! Even though you are an official, I will not be stingy. I just want to ask you, when did you start practicing practice, and what kind of practice have you achieved now?
Can, can you live forever?"
Xu Xian laughed and sighed in his heart. Just now, he said in the palace that officials and titles should not be given lightly, but now they have become more generous. But he can also understand the mood of an old man. All rules and regulations are fake, and the real thing is to live a few more years.
The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. Today's reward is just a sweetness. In the future, if you master the elixir, it will be a great fortune.
Although he doesn't care much about fame and wealth, he certainly doesn't find it annoying, so he just treats it as a free hand. After all, his original intention is to repay the kindness of Master Taiyin. Who should take the elixir prepared by Master Taiyin? In fact,
It has nothing to do with him.
Then he told Emperor Jiayu that he had met Taiyin Zhenren and that he had taught him Taoism. Of course, he had concealed the details and emphasized the dangers involved, so as not to give Emperor Jiayu the impression that his practice was very simple.
Illusion. Finally, he said: "I am still far from immortality, which is just a few hundred years of life!" He has obtained the dragon cultivation method. Although he is confident that he can live for hundreds of years in one breath, he cannot be too confident.
.
Emperor Jiayu's eyes lit up when he heard this. For a dying old man, what could be more attractive than a life span of a hundred years? More importantly, he saw a real example of ordinary people gaining a long life.
An example of this is like a patient who is still uneasy after listening to a doctor’s eloquent talk, but when he sees other patients with the same disease around him being cured by relying on the doctor’s treatment, he immediately becomes more confident.
Emperor Jiayu took the trouble to inquire about the details, and Xu Xian answered them one by one without being humble or condescending. In the end, he showed off a few hands, showing his superhuman nature while still retaining enough respect for Emperor Jiayu.
Respect, after all, in the human world, one still has the title of king and minister.
Xu Xian is not the so-called madman who is arrogant and underestimates the prince. For those madmen, the prince and the prince are actually special. They deserve to be underestimated and arrogant in order to win a high reputation. But for Xu Xian, it is the same.
Whether the emperor or the common people, they are all living people first and foremost. There is no special contempt or special admiration. You might as well look at them with equal eyes.
In Xu Xian's previous life, there was a saying that if you want to be a grandson, you should be a grandfather first! But he often wondered, isn't it good to be neither a grandson nor a grandfather? Otherwise, when would he be a grandson? Let's start with this.
If you are arrogant and shouting in front of others, and then groveling in front of that person, who has real dignity at the end? Even if you accidentally become a grandfather among grandfathers, can you get back the dignity you once left behind? And
When walking in the world, some human etiquette is always indispensable, but again, you might as well look at it with a straight face. You don’t have to deliberately break the etiquette to show yourself, and you can’t stick to it. Why not just treat it as a rare opportunity to experience this
What about a special time travel?
This is also the biggest difference between Xu Xian and ordinary people. For example, the high position of King Liang and King Pan could not help but indulge in this world.
But Xu Xian was boating on this world, enjoying the scenery on both sides of the bank, looking at the distance of the rivers and lakes and the height of the temples. He was just boating along the current, with no stagnation in his heart. But it was better than the "Emperor's Call" in history.
The real "Poetry Immortal" of "Shuo" will be much more chic, because Li Bai ultimately begged the emperor, and once he fell out of favor, he would inevitably sigh and lament his own experience.
Time passed quickly, and when Emperor Jiayu finally let Xu Xian go, the Qionglin Banquet was over, but Xu Xian was spared a lot of entertainment.
The gold medal has been cast, and Zhong Kui's portrait has been framed, and they were given to Xu Xian, so that Xu Xian could admire the efficiency of the palace craftsmen.
Emperor Jiayu explained: "If you have anything important, you can go directly to the palace to see me with this sign!" The so-called important matter, of course, refers to matters related to immortality.
After Xu Xian thanked him, he hurried back to the main hall.
The hall was already empty and the Jinshi had left. Pan Yu was still waiting there with his back against the pillars. When he saw Xu Xian coming out, he smiled at him, and when he came to her side, they walked out side by side.
It's like they fit together naturally.
The Pan family's carriage was waiting outside the palace gate. After the two got on the carriage, Xu Xian talked to her about what had just happened, then took out the newly won gold medal and showed it off in front of Pan Yu happily: "Gold medal!
, gold medal! You haven’t seen it before, you must have eyes!”
Pan Yu rolled her eyes at him, unable to do anything about his occasional childish outbursts. "Bring it to me quickly!" She was also very curious about the gold medal.
Xu Xian casually handed the gold medal to Pan Yu, took her into his arms, and put the tip of his nose into her hair, gently smelling the fragrance of her hair.
Pan Yu lay peacefully in Xu Xian's arms, playing with the palm-sized gold medal in her hand. As expected, it was engraved with the words of Emperor Jiayu. It was surrounded by a coiled dragon pattern, and underneath was decorated with golden tassels made of bright yellow silk thread. This thing
, it is so precious that even the prince has to bow respectfully when he sees this sign.
Xu Xian suddenly asked: "Mingyu, do you think you can eat and drink for free with this brand?" This gold medal reminded him of the famous poet Li Bai's "Gold Medal for Free". No matter where you go with that gold medal, you can eat for free.
You can drink it for free, and you can also use it to pay money in treasuries in various places. It is simply an ancient version of the "all-in-one card", and there is an unlimited credit limit, but I don't know if my card has this function.
Pan Yu showed a helpless expression and said: "Are you going to use this brand to eat for free?" The first question asked by the poet, who received the gold medal from the emperor, was whether he could eat for free. If others knew, it would really
I don’t know what the expression is. “If you really want to do this, no store owner would dare to ask you for money.”
Xu Xian opened his eyes wide with an expression of "You underestimate me", "How could it be possible? It's enough to just follow you for free. How can I use such a bad brand!" When he was in Hangzhou, he followed Pan Yu but
I ate a lot of free food.
Pan Yu couldn't help laughing, smiled casually, stretched out a jade hand, caressed Xu Xian's cheek, and sighed: "It would be great if I could always let you follow me for free, but it's a pity that you don't need it now!"
Xu Xian looked into her eyes and said seriously: "I need it now too!" He lowered his head and gently nibbled Pan Yu's beautiful ear.
Pan Yu gave him an angry look, but did not resist. She gritted her teeth and endured the strange taste.
After a while, Xu Xian raised his head and said exaggeratedly: "The fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth, and the aftertaste is endless."
Pan Yu blushed and pinched herself to get wet, and couldn't help but give him an elbow.
Xu Xian held Pan Yu's hand holding the gold medal, looked at the small gold medal, and fell into thinking again. After a while, he asked the second question after getting the gold medal, "Mingyu, you said this gold medal is pure
Gold?”
Is this the value of this gold medal? Pan Yu didn't bother to answer this question at all, and flatly replied: "I don't know!"
Xu Xian thought about it seriously, "The emperor is so rich, so it must be pure. But I heard that pure gold is red gold, but this one is golden!" He pinched her nose and said, "Even if you don't tell me,
, we can try it out too!”
"Huh? Stop!" Before Pan Yu could stop him, Xu Xian happily put the gold medal into his mouth, bit it hard, and took it out again.
Pan Yu saw the gold medal and two rows of teeth marks clearly visible, and was speechless for a moment.
Xu Xian had a headache again, "Do you think it's gold if you bite out a tooth mark, or if you can't bite out a tooth mark, it's gold?" Shop waiters on TV like to do this, and it's mainly used by waiters to express their surprise at the huge wealth.
And every time I bite out a fake one, they never explain in detail how it is considered to be real gold.
Xu Xian was very sad and said, "It's so irresponsible to make TV dramas now!" The most important thing is that he forgot that if he bites hard, even hundreds of refined steel can make teeth marks.
Pan Yu took the gold medal and taught him a lesson: "Whether it is damaged or lost, it is a crime of disrespect to destroy or lose the things given by the emperor! If someone finds out, it will be in trouble!" This is very different from the gold, pearls and jade that were given at the banquet.
.
Xu Xiandao: "This... can't it be repaired?" The power of the golden spirit was injected into the gold medal. Recalling the shape of the gold medal just now, the tooth marks on the gold medal gradually disappeared.
Chapter completed!
