Li Yuan and Pei Ji originally wanted to follow him to watch the fun, but when they saw the expression on Qing Xuanzi's face that he was not allowed to approach strangers, they didn't realize that they were not welcome, so they had to bid farewell to Wang Zi'an.
"Brother, you go and do your work first. Brother, I'll go find you for a drink later -"
Wang Zi'an smiled and nodded in agreement, leaving him an address.
This old guy, who spoke with no scruples, always reminded him of his roommates in later generations who were both good at boasting and talking, and they felt inexplicably relaxed when they played together.
Wang Zi'an originally thought that this pair of Taoist priests who claimed to be brothers, but were actually brothers and sisters, might stay in a Taoist temple. What he didn't expect was that they actually rented a quiet courtyard by themselves.
The yard is not big, with only one entrance, but it has a single door, three main rooms in the middle, and two wing rooms on the west side. There is also a large jujube tree planted next to the door of the wing room.
"Master - we invited Senior Brother Wang Zian..."
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the "little junior brother" who called himself Qing Lingzi ran towards the main room with joy, his voice was clear and sweet, just like an oriole.
Wang Zi’an:……
Looking at Wang Zi'an's eyes, Qing Xuanzi smiled helplessly at Wang Zi'an.
"I didn't hide it from my senior brother on purpose, but for the convenience of traveling..."
Wang Zi'an nodded, not taking it seriously.
In fact, he noticed at first sight that the other person was a girl. In this era, for the convenience of traveling, many women disguise themselves as men.
"My master has had some problems with his practice recently. It is inconvenient to welcome him. Please forgive me, senior brother——"
The middle-aged Taoist priest, while leading the way, turned back and smiled apologetically at Wang Zi'an.
In fact, Wang Zi'an had already noticed it without his introduction.
This courtyard was filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine. He had already noticed the other party's prescription just by smelling it.
They are all prescriptions for calming qi and blood, warming and tonifying the heart meridian.
So, coughing up blood?
Can you practice until you cough up blood?
"It's okay. To be honest, I want to know a little bit about Qihuang's art. If you don't mind, I would be willing to help the master to see..."
“That’s very good—senior brother, please—”
Qing Xuanzi took the lead, opened the door curtain, and made a gesture of invitation towards Wang Zi'an.
The doors and windows in the house are blocked, and fine charcoal is burning. As soon as you enter, the warm air mixed with the strong smell of Chinese medicine hits your face.
"The poor Taoist Chang Baishan Yun Xuzi has seen my little friend——"
Seeing Wang Zi'an come in, the old man on the hospital bed raised his head slightly with the support of his young apprentice, and greeted Wang Zi'an in a weak voice.
Wang Zi'an glanced at his face and was instantly shocked.
His beard and hair were sparse, his skin was covered with red blisters, and even lumpy ulcers appeared in some places. Combined with the Chinese medicine that warmed and nourished the qi and blood meridians, Prince An took a breath of cold air and subconsciously went to
He took a few steps back.
"Does Taoist Master have symptoms of bleeding from all the body's orifices, and occasionally blood in the stool?"
"My little friend is indeed a descendant of the Immortal family. He is proficient in the art of external elixirs. He can actually see the symptoms of an old Taoist at a glance - please give me some advice -"
With that said, the old Taoist struggled to sit up from the bed and saluted Wang Zi'an solemnly.
Wang Zi’an:……
I am proficient in the art of outer elixir, I just saw that your eyes were radiated!
"How long have you had these symptoms?"
Wang Zi'an felt that the place where he was standing was not safe, so he simply retreated to the outer room and asked through the curtain.
Whether you are polite or not is a trivial matter, your life is the most important.
Although he didn't understand why the Immortal family disciple he invited was avoiding him like a snake or a scorpion, he still replied honestly.
"To tell you the truth, little friends, since the poor Taoists got the Heavenly Pill, they returned to the mountains and started to practice in seclusion. Who knows, not long after, this kind of symptoms began to appear - the power of the immortal way is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Easily coveted and spied on..."
Listening to the feeble but emotional voices in the room, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
"What you call Waidan, is it a glowing thing..."
"My little friend, I have indeed seen it! It is indeed as you said, this elixir has its own light and dense atmosphere. At first glance, it is not an ordinary thing-"
As soon as Wang Zi'an finished speaking, there was a sound of surprise inside.
Wang Zi’an:……
Tiandan?
You're almost finished.
At this time, although he had not yet seen the so-called Tiandan, he had basically determined that it was an extremely radioactive source of radiation.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but feel a toothache when he thought of the scene where this old Taoist was cultivating immortality while holding a radiation source.
Having no knowledge is really scary.
"Fei'er, help me get that Heavenly Pill -"
While Wang Zi'an was complaining, he heard the old Taoist's weak voice coming from the room.
"Don't, don't, don't—"
Prince An was shocked when he saw it.
"I know what this heavenly elixir of yours is, and I can relieve your symptoms, but that heavenly elixir, you'd better find a lead box to put it in immediately, and throw it as far as you can..."
Are you kidding?
You let me look at your strong radiation source without any protection. I am not a stupid dog who dares to drink nuclear waste water.
"Throw it away?"
As soon as Wang Zi'an spoke, there was a sudden silence in the back room. It took a long time before a difficult voice was heard.
"Why do you say this, little friend? Although these treasures of the Immortal Family are so shallow that I can't bear them, they are hard-won. I and my brothers, more than a dozen people, have gone through nine deaths and lost more than half of them before they can be recovered from the world.
Such treasures were found in the fairy mountain..."
After hearing these words, Wang Zi'an didn't know how to answer. He thought about it and said seriously.
"The heavenly elixir you call actually has another name, called a radiation source. Not only is this thing not a Taoist heavenly elixir, it is actually a terrifying thing. Let's put it this way, I have been with this kind of thing for a long time.
, symptoms such as bleeding from the orifices, skin ulcers, loss of hair and hair, and weakness in the limbs will appear. In severe cases, it can lead to death..."
At this point, Wang Zi'an sighed as he could hear needles dropping in the inner room.
"There may be ways to practice immortality and prolong life in this world, but there is absolutely no magical elixir that can make people soar to the sky. You may have heard from Wang and Taoist Priest that elixirs are poisonous. Although this thing you got is not poison,
But it is a hundred times more poisonous than the elixir. This junior has said this. Believe it or not is up to you..."
Knowing that it would be difficult to win people's trust if he said this rashly, Wang Zi'an did not force himself. He stood up neatly and said solemnly to the inner room.
"Juniors are here because they want to know how you got the kind of crops that Taoist Master Qingxuanzi had, and did you bring back other crops? If there are any, juniors are willing to pay a lot of money to buy them no matter what they are. If you are willing
, the younger generation can also build a Taoist temple for you in Chang'an City so that you can practice with peace of mind, and you can even come forward to ask the court to allow you to preach in Chang'an..."
