Chapter 56 The Heart of Dao 7(1/2)
In the perspective of leaving the world, Bai Jinyu’s primary task is to supervise Yu Xuanzi’s alchemy.
The day before yesterday was, yesterday was, and today is still.
Before the morning class for the departure view was finished, Bai Jinyu had already dressed up and waited in the alchemy room, and came earlier than Yu Xuanzi.
Her face was gloomy, and she leaned her hands against the door frame, and she had not moved for a long time. When several young Taoists in the Danfang saw her posture, they all hid far away, for fear that they would accidentally trigger a thunder.
After the hour of Mao, Yu Xuanzi's fat figure finally appeared at the end of the corridor of the Danfang. He walked over with a whisk holding a whisk and humming a little tune. His broad Taoist robe floated back and forth with his bulky body.
"Where did Master Yuxuan come from?" Bai Jinyu held the corner of her mouth and greeted Yu Xuanzi with a smile.
Yu Xuanzi suddenly raised his head as if a frightened bird suddenly stopped and asked in a hurry: "Where is Your Highness, King Jin?"
"For you, I am still copying the Tao Te Ching," Bai Jinyu walked towards him, biting his back of the altar and pressed his hand: "Even if the food in the view of the world is average, I think the interest of Yu Xuan seems to be very high. I can eat a breakfast for an hour?"
When Yu Xuanzi learned that Feng Chen was not present, she watched Bai Jinyu walk towards him step by step and couldn't help but retreat.
After a long time, I squeezed out a little dry smile and explained: "It's all the abbot who is too stingy. I put so much water in the early porridge, which made me so hungry less than noon two days ago. So I drank a few more bowls today, and I was late."
Bai Jinyu nodded, and a knife almost flew out of her eyes: "You know that you have enough food and drink enough and have such a good practice method of drinking water and taking breath, why don't you use it yourself? Do you know how many days your Highness King Jin hasn't eaten?!"
"Four or five days? Uh, five or six days?" Yu Xuanzi shrank his neck and glanced at Bai Jinyu: "Seven or eight days? But I remember that the princess didn't secretly get the porridge for His Highness..."
"Stop," Bai Jinyu was already furious. After hearing this, she was even more angry and said: "You still mention this?! Why are you a monk who has no pure mind at all? You are talking nonsense and spreading rumors. It's good for me to give him porridge, but what eye did you see King Jin drink? You even told everyone everywhere, "What's your heart?" At the end, she stepped on his feet hard.
Yu Xuanzi shouted "Ouch" and jumped up with one foot, begging for mercy: "Princess, you protect your husband, don't step on me every day, or can you change your foot and step on me? If you step on me like this, my foot will definitely be ruined!"
"What's the name? If you have the ability, come back!" Bai Jinyu glanced at him and said sternly: "Don't talk nonsense, tell me if you can refine the pill today?"
Yu Xuanzi said: "It's hard to say. Alchemy is a matter of seven parts per person, and three parts per person depends on the sky..."
Bai Jinyu raised her face and said, "Ha, you're so embarrassed to say that seven-point is in a human being! Tell me how you did things two days ago? Either the prescription is wrong, the sulfur is wrong, or the time is wrong... I really can't figure out what the emperor likes you and will actually entrust you with important tasks?"
Bai Jinyu said this, Yu Xuanzi was not only not angry, but instead felt aggrieved: "Yes, I'm also puzzled. I'm just a stinky Taoist priest who makes useless mistakes. Why do they treat me like this?! Instead of waiting for me to be an official in the future and make mistakes in punishing me, it's better to kill me directly now."
Yu Xuanzi immediately opened up the conversation, complaining more and more bitterly. Bai Jinyu was too lazy to listen to his longing and pulled him up and pulled him into the alchemy room.
As soon as he entered the room, Yu Xuanzi jumped. He saw that the elixir stove in front of him was already hot, the talismans built the altar were ready, and the ancient sword mirrors protected were all in place. Everything was in order and was even more in line than he was taking care of them himself.
Bai Jinyu pointed to everything in front of her and said, "You think, I have checked all the grass, zhi medicinal materials you want for your alchemy, gold, stone, sulfur, and brimstone. If you can't refine it today..."
Her sharp eyes twitched Yu Xuanzi up and down and said, "I not only want to step on your feet, but I also want to tell the abbot that you may not be able to refine it for a while. It is not bad for you to delay the view of the day of the priest surrendering sins and leaving the world. Why not move this alchemy stove to the residence of the Minister of Rites in the city, so that you can perform your duties and refine alchemy while not missing both ends."
"You..." Yu Xuanzi weakly raised his finger and accused Bai Jinyu: "Princess, you are too cruel!"
When he said this, Bai Jinyu was watching with a Ganoderma lucidum. When he heard him say this, she put down the Ganoderma lucidum and patted her hands and said, "Yes, don't think I don't know what you want to do. If you harm Fengchen again, I will definitely have more powerful methods behind you! I'm not scaring you. I'm so old, no one will escape from me as long as I want to punish you! I don't know if you can take it by then."
Bai Jinyu said these threatening and intimidating words, but her eyebrows were clear. Yu Xuanzi didn't know whether she was scared or stopped by Qi for a moment. She looked blankly for a while and whispered: "Since the princess cares so much about Your Highness, why did she leave him before?"
Bai Jinyu was stunned. After looking at him for a long time, he thought to himself that this Taoist priest was really gossiping. He was far away from Chang'an and knew that Su Lihua had returned to her parents' home and separated from Feng Chen. He couldn't help but sarcastically said: "You are a monk, you know a lot!"
Yu Xuanzi snorted, looked at the well-organized house, and changed his words and said, "Okay, OK, I will try my best to fight for it today!"
Bai Jinyu nodded in agreement: "Okay, then you can start!"
Yu Xuanzi's face turned green and said, "What? The Empress is still here to watch me today?"
"Yes," Bai Jinyu said with confidence: "I'm afraid you'll have something wrong again!"
Yu Xuanzi raised his eyebrows and felt a terrifying moment. The scene of her head spreading with ashes after frying the stove yesterday immediately appeared in front of her. She said immediately: "I suspect that yesterday's failure was because of a woman's presence. The herbs used in this elixir are already extremely cold and yin. If the Empress is present, it may cause the yin and yang to be unbalanced..."
Bai Jinyu squinted his eyes and listened to him making up randomly, but Yu Xuanzi was cunning, but the things he made up were self-justified, which sounded somewhat reasonable. The outside world still failed today, and he said that it was the reason for her presence, and she really couldn't wash it even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
"Okay, don't use tricks." Bai Jinyu could only follow his advice, and thought for a while and said, "Today, there is a temple fair in the town at the foot of the mountain. I will take the young prince to take a walk and check your results when I come back."
Yu Xuanzi nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly nodded and bowed to send Bai Jinyu out of the alchemy room like a god.
On the first day of every month and the fifteenth day of each month, it is the day when pilgrims from all over the country go to Xifeng Mountain to enjoy the fragrance. The town close to the mountain naturally travels to a considerable temple fair in these two days.
This time when I went up the mountain, the King of Jin did not bring many guards or servants. After being temporarily left to the scene, Feng Chen felt that the Taoist sect was not suitable for show, so he did not send more people to the mountain.
So Bai Jinyu and Feng Nai changed into simple clothes and went down the mountain, and only Xie Yao was brought behind him.
The temple fairs were bustling with all kinds of goods, and the hawkers were clamoring for merchandise. The crowds of people were bustling with people.
This is the first time that Nail is visiting such a market for ordinary people. When he sees juggling, the sugar man is very fresh, and when he sees the people selling paintings, he also feels very fresh. He is fascinated by the dazzling flowers and flowers.
Xie Yao followed behind them silently. Although he was still cold, his face also showed a rare relaxation.
In order to commemorate Nail's first temple fair trip, Bai Jinyu suggested buying him a gift. Nail was flattered and fell in love with a little puppy selling dog stall after walking through the temple fair. The little puppy had both ears hanging, and the yellow and white were indeed very cute.
When the little puppy was paying, she was drinking milk by the bitch, so Bai Jinyu asked Xie Yao to pay Yinliang first and told the boss to get the puppy after getting better.
Unexpectedly, when the three of them walked around the temple fair and returned to the dog stall, they saw a pair of well-dressed men and women holding the puppy and about to leave.
Bai Jinyu quickly stepped forward to stop the man and woman from leaving.
Seeing this, the owner of the dog stall calmly returned a piece of broken silver to Xie Yao and said, "The officials and officials pay more money than you, and those with higher prices will be natural."
Bai Jinyu asked, "But we decided on this dog first, shouldn't we come first? How can you not be trustworthy when doing business?!"
The boss glared at Bai Jinyu with a strange smile and said curiously: "Why am I not trusting? Didn't I return the money to you? People are willing to pay a higher price. Can't I make money yet?"
"You..." Bai Jinyu was furious, but saw that the man and woman who bought the dog were about to leave. She quickly winked at Xie Yao. Xie Yao spread her arms and stopped the two people who were about to leave, saying, "Put down the dog!"
The sound was so cold that it seemed to be a person who wanted to keep his life.
"Right, right? How much did they pay?" Bai Jinyu asked.
The boss looked at Bai Jinyu and said, "One tael of silver."
Bai Jinyu turned to Xie Yao: "Give him one or two"
Xie Yao said: "Okay."
Bai Jinyu immediately said to the dog dealer: "We will give you one or two, we will make the reservation first, sell the dog to us and let them go!"
Dog dealer hesitated.
The man who bought the dog was dissatisfied when he heard this: "Why give it to you? Who doesn't have the money? My wife likes this dog so much. Come on, I'll pay ten taels for the boss!" As he said that, he took out some silver and stuffed it to the dog dealer, and turned around and touched the dog in his wife's arms.
Nail looked at the puppy lying in someone else's arms with his lips pursed and showed a grievance.
Bai Jinyu was forced to join the army, and ten taels of silver were already available for an ordinary family to spend a month. This man actually bought a grass dog for the beloved lady. He is really rich.
"We are also ten taels." While Bai Jinyu was still hesitating, Xie Yao had already spoken out.
Bai Jinyu looked at Xie Yao in surprise, thinking that he was so handsome!
"Haha, are you still fighting?" the man snatched: "I tell you that we are going to make a decision today. Boss, I'll pay twenty taels!"
At this time, many people at the temple fair heard a dispute arise at the dog stall, and they stopped and looked lively.
When twenty taels were out, the crowd made a surprise sound and started talking.
"We are twenty taels too." Xie Yao still said.
"Fifty taels, I still don't believe it!"
"We are fifty taels too."
The man looked at Xie Yao in anger, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Hey, okay, one hundred taels!"
Bai Jinyu and Naier looked at Xie Yao together and silent for a moment. He changed his mind to the point of saying, "One hundred and fifty taels."
The crowd let out a neat surprise, and Bai Jinyu couldn't help but wonder if Xie Yao had no idea about money.
Hearing Xie Yao's number of reports, the woman who bought the dog put the dog back to the dog stall in fear, pulled the man and said, "Forget it, we don't want it."
The man pulled the woman away and said to Xie Yao without hesitation: "Okay, it's better than being rich, right? Today I'm sure I'll pay two hundred taels!!"
The crowd burst into a shocking cheer, and then the sound fell and people began to discuss whether the man was crazy.
Bai Jinyu and Naier looked at Xie Yao again, wanting to see what numbers he was going to hold below. After waiting for a while, Xie Yao stammered his lips for a moment and did not follow him any more.
He looked at Bai Jinyu, and Bai Jinyu knew from his eyes that they didn't have that much money.
Nail lowered his head. Although he had no idea about money at his age, he knew about the ending. Tears quickly surged in his eyes, and it was dripping.
"Forget it, we met a madman today." Bai Jinyu squatted down to comfort Nail.
Nail nodded, looked up, his eyes red, and looked at the people around him who were laughing and asking Bai Jinyu: "Mom, did Nail do something wrong?"
Bai Jinyu didn't expect that Nai'er would think of this, and quickly comforted him: "No, Nai'er, don't think so. When we return to Chang'an, my mother will buy you a lot of puppies."
Nail nodded obediently, and looked reluctantly at the dog dealer handing the puppy to the man and woman again.
"Hmph!" The man who bought the dog was arrogant and glared at Bai Jinyu and the other two, then held his wife and turned around and left.
"Stay!"
The man and woman had just taken a step, and a voice outside the crowd stopped them.
Everyone looked in the voice and saw a very handsome and elegant man coming up from behind. He was wearing blue and gray common clothes for lay Buddhists, but he was as beautiful as a heavenly official, with a beautiful face, a clear and sensual figure, and a gorgeous body without a piece of decoration.
The crowd suddenly calmed down, and his eyes followed him quietly.
"Dian..." Bai Jinyu almost called out, and Nail wanted to speak too, so Bai Jinyu quickly covered his mouth.
Feng Chen walked to the dog dealer, and the dog dealer looked at him with disbelief.
Feng Chen took out a plain purse from his wide sleeve, grabbed a handful of gold beans and placed it on the wooden table of the dog dealer, and said, "Is it enough?"
The audience took a breath when they saw the less than twenty golden beans. This time they even made a good exclamation.
