Daojun: Start with the top-grade golden elixir

Chapter 44
In the vast and vast lake, there are countless living beings.

In Yunmeng, besides the land continent where Taisu's authentic sect is located, there are countless islands, and it is not only the high-gong monks who opened the mansion, where the clans and aristocratic families passed down.

Following Taisu's preaching for thousands of years, or the relatives and servants of the monks in the sect looking for a place to spend their lives, or ordinary people coming to seek the Tao, or fleeing the troubled times to find a paradise...

Gradually, many islands in Yunmeng are full of traces of people. Under the rule of Taisu, there are Taoyuan villages, or prosperous cities, or even a prosperous country, where everyone has enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment.

In the north of Yunmeng, there is a large island called Nanhua. The island is a country. It is said that it was built by the immortals in the depths of Yunmeng.

In the capital, there is a large Xu family, which has been prosperous for a hundred years.

A few days ago, the old man was still in good spirits and was able to drink and chat with the visiting disciples. No one would have thought that he would suddenly fall asleep all night and become very heavy.

In a room in the backyard of the Xu Mansion, Old Master Xu was lying on the couch, with a peaceful expression on his face. It seemed that there was no nightmare, but the famous healers, the royal doctor in the palace, and even the guru in the Taoist temple had all come to see him. The judgment that he is about to die.

But after a few days and nights, the old man never went, and he was not in a hurry to give birth to the Patriarch of the Xu family.

On this day, for some reason, the wind blows gently, and the closed door is opened. A Taoist priest with a jade bamboo hairpin and a handsome appearance in a toga, opened the gauze curtain and came to the bedside.

The Taoist didn't seem to have much emotion, but also seemed to be sentimental. He stood quietly by the bed for a while, then sighed leisurely, and said in a loud voice: "Father."

Hearing this sound, the old man collapsed, his eyelids moved suddenly, he opened and closed several times, and when he opened his eyes, there was no energy in his eyes, cloudy and colorless, and he moved them to the face of the Taoist with difficulty, showing a look of relief. meaning.

"Zhuanger, you are back."

The Taoist was Xu Zhuang, Xu Zhuang nodded and said, "I've come to see you."

The old man said solemnly: "All these years, how are you doing in Xianzong?"

"I'm very good." Xu Zhuang sat down halfway on the floor and said, "Now I'm considered a high-ranking member of the sect."

The old man didn't understand what top-grade golden elixir was listed in the true biography. He only needed to know him well. Hearing this, he really showed an unattractive smile. Perhaps his energy was exhausted, and his words were a little confused. He said in a deep voice: " That's good... very good..."

Perhaps because of the lack of obsession, Xu Zhuang could feel that he was really on his deathbed, sighed, put two fingers on the old man's veins, and said, "Father, I have the immortal elixir, which can prolong father's life Jiazi."

Somehow, the old man regained his energy, he smiled and said: "I have no regrets in my father's life, so don't force me to stay in this world."

Xu Zhuang's eyes moved, seeing the old man's eyes, as if seeing the wonderful life of him, he slowly let go of his fingertips.

The old man closed his eyes in satisfaction, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

"Huh? Why is this door open?" Suddenly a steward ran into the house with a copper basin, Xu Zhuang was gone, the steward opened the screen window, and saw the old man's peaceful expression, which seemed to be the same as before, but his heart suddenly Trembling, the copper basin fell, and the clear water spilled all over the ground. He walked forward slowly, and touched the old man's nose between his fingers.

"Old man...? Old man?" The steward took a few steps back, two lines of tears overflowed from his eyes, and hurried out the door, shouting: "The old man is dead! The old man is dead!"

Suddenly there was a panic outside, and not long after, many people surrounded the bed, filled with grief, a doctor, carefully feeling the pulse by the side of the bed, finally looked heavy after a while, and shook his head.

The steward sat on the ground, broke down and burst into tears, murmured endlessly, and cried: "I obviously closed the doors and windows... How could this be so, the old man must have caught a cold..."

"My parents died early, so the old man took me to work in the mansion and treated my family like a family member..."

An old man with a calm face walked up to him, patted his shoulder lightly, and said, "Jinru, it's not your fault." Then he stood up and said to everyone: "Let's go out first, I want to be alone with the old man for a while. "

This person seemed to be the head of the family. Hearing his words, although they were sparse, they finally stopped their grief and went out.

The last person closed the door, and the room was quiet again, the old man walked slowly to the table and chairs with his hands behind his back and sat down, he looked at the place for a long time, and suddenly said: "Brother, are you still there? "

Xu Zhuang's figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the desk and sat down calmly.

There was a faint smile on the old man's face, and he said, "I'm just guessing. I didn't expect that the eldest brother really hasn't left yet. Are you here to see father for the last time?"

Xu Zhuang sighed lightly and said, "Not bad."

"I think this may be the last time I see my elder brother." The old man sighed, "I still remember that I didn't like my elder brother when I was young. Everyone said at that time that the eldest son of the Xu family was a child prodigy who came to the world. He made articles at the age of three and wrote at the age of five Poetry, little understanding of world affairs, amazing intelligence...but I have never seen it!"

"Later, I knew that this elder brother went to seek immortality and practice Taoism. In the immortal gate, he really shined brilliantly? The masters in the view of the virtual form all looked favorably on the Xu family. The king of Nanhua also wanted to treat his father with respect. ..."

"When I first met big brother, I was still a child with a yellow mouth. When I saw big brother again, I was already a weak crown."

"After that, after a long time, I saw my elder brother for the third time, and I have already known my fate. Seeing you now, my elder brother is still like this. Is it true that time has not left a trace on the immortal?"

The old man seemed to have a lot of feelings, as he spoke slowly, Xu Zhuang also listened quietly.

Xu Zhuang didn't answer, but instead asked: "Is there anyone at home who needs my help?"

"Everything is fine at home." The old man replied.

Xu Zhuang nodded, and said again: "I remember when I came last time, you Yaosun Fang was born with excellent bones. I can take him back to the sect to practice. You said the child is still young, let him make his own decision."

"That's right, Yao'er has tied his hair now." The old man said with a smile, "It's a pity that he has no interest in cultivating Taoism since he was a child. Nor did it awaken his heart to the Tao."

"It's such a pity." Xu Zhuang said lightly.

At this point, there was nothing to talk about, and after a moment of silence, Xu Zhuang stood up, took the Polygonatum odoratum from his hair, placed it gently on the table, and said: "If there is any important matter at home in the future, or If there are future generations who have the root of Taoism and the heart of Taoism, they can hold this bamboo to see the virtual form, and they will know how to contact me."

"Thank you, big brother." The old man got up and said with a deep bow.

Xu Zhuang smiled slightly, and strode out the door. The old man took two steps after him, only to see Xu Zhuang flicking his sleeves, riding the breeze into the clouds, and disappeared.

Can not help feeling disappointed.
