Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 263 The Grandmaster Asks for a Teacher
"I've always had time."

Gu Dan shrugged slightly, and said helplessly, "The one who really has no time is you, right?"

The original group of people in Gu's small courtyard now have their own homes.

Xun Ke stayed in Tianxia Xuegong, and had many disciples, and he talked about the ideas in his heart.

Xiaoying served as the Imperial Physician Order of the Imperial Hospital, in charge of more than a thousand women, teaching them how to deliver babies and take care of babies.

Needless to say, Qin Lisheng took the Mo family all over the Xia Dynasty, not sure where to stay.

Even Cang has now gone to Yuzhou to serve as the chief envoy.

Gong Shang Guo has been busy with state affairs since the founding of the Xia Dynasty, completely forgetting himself.

The few people in front will go to sit in the small courtyard of the Gu family, but the one in front of him has completely forgotten the word "private" except during the Chinese New Year.

It's not that Gu Dan doesn't have time, but that they each have their own things to be busy with.

"Haha."

Gongshang Guo laughed, not as intensely as before, but more cheerfully, "After all, people can only live so long, and I really dare not spend it recklessly, so I have to do more things while I can still move."

"Come on, I don't think you're thinking of retiring at all."

Gu Dan waved his hand.

"retire?"

After thinking about it for a while, Gongshang figured out the meaning of these two words, "Tell me to return to my hometown? Where do I have a hometown? The Xia Dynasty is my hometown."

Back then when the moon was falling and under the attack from all directions, Gong Shang Guo was already in despair, and he didn't even think about going back alive after he raged against Long Yan.

But all kinds of things since then have exceeded his expectations. As the son and grandson of the dragon who survived the previous dynasty, he should have been branded as an unspeakable crime. Who would have thought that he would be able to hold important positions in the Xia Dynasty and show his talents? .

Perhaps it was because of the apology in his heart, or to make up for the pain that Da Yue brought to this land. After taking office, Gongshang completely forgot himself, even worse than Mohists, and devoted himself to state affairs. Never stopped.

Even if they all live in the imperial capital, it is very unusual for them to not see each other for many years.

If Gu Dan didn't come to look for him, Gong Shang Guo would definitely not have the time to chat with him.

"It doesn't matter if you don't return home."

Gu Dan stared at Gong Shangguo carefully, looked at it for a moment, and said: "But you don't have to stretch yourself too tightly, you must know the truth that talented people come from generation to generation. Today's Xia Dynasty is not Dayue, and Wang Mang is not Zongzong. Emperor Ming, he can do ten things with his own hard work, and entrust them to people who can do nine or even eight, so they can grow up slowly."

"I can't be busy for many years."

Gong Shangguo laughed, wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, that handsome face that had been baptized by the years, revealed a gentleness from the inside out, completely faded from the original sharpness, revealing a person who has experienced the world. Afterwards, he still loves the true face of life, "While I can still do more things, I want to do more by myself."

Hearing this, Gu Dan sighed.

There are countless in this world.

There are less than a hundred people in the world of mortals, how hard is it to see those who have a hundred?

As a living creature living in this world, whether it is for fame and fortune, personal honor or disgrace, or for the sake of family, country, and morality in one's heart, one must strive for it within one's limited lifetime.

For many things, you have to be slow and slow.

Gu Dan once sighed with emotion: the hardship of the country is caused by the people.

Now that the prosperous age has come, those who grew up in the country's difficulties are still doing their best to shine and shine, shining on the people of this era.

"It's you, the medical book has been compiled, right? What are you going to do next?"

Gongshang Guo ignored himself in a few words and asked instead.

"Continue to practice."

Gu Dan said: "I promised a person before that I would try the scenery that he has never been able to see."

"Practice"

This time it was Gongshang Guo's turn to shrug his shoulders, his eyes fell on Gu Dan's face, and he said helplessly: "When it comes to this, no one can compare to you."

When I met Gu Dan for the first time, he could still call himself a beautiful young man in his prime, but after so many years, now that he is old and has shawls, even if he is a martial artist who has mastered viscera, he sometimes resists it. An unstoppable sense of fatigue emerged from his body.

What about worry?

He looked like he was only in his early thirties, probably less than 40 years old.

Time seems to be unable to take away anything from him, and now the two of them are standing together, saying that it is the grandfather and grandson, I am afraid that some people would dare to believe it.

Even the grand masters are not outrageous to this extent!

If you compare people, you will die, if you compare goods, you will throw them away, even if you refuse to accept it.

Mentioning this, Gu Dan just smiled and didn't mention it much.

Because Gongshang Guo was unfortunately blocked by the sympathy of the five elements and could not be promoted to the master, otherwise his lifespan would be at least 20 years longer.

Preferring aptitude in front of someone who is not talented enough, or in front of an old friend, even if the other party doesn't mind this, and has already seen it, Gu Dan will deliberately avoid it.

Time really can't take away anything from him, but his side has been filled with traces of time.

Next, Gong Shangguo and Gu Dan made tea and sipped it, chatting casually.

In fact, what we are talking about is actually the affairs of the country. Where is the heavy rain again, where is the drought, where is the flood, where is the harvest, where are there more children, and the increase in household registration? Come on.

Like Gu Dan, he never married a wife, never had an affair with a woman, and he didn't even leave any descendants. It can be said that there is no shortcoming in the family.

The two chattered casually, and most of what they said was rambling, without any serious topics.

As for disasters - no matter how prosperous the world is, it is impossible to control the world. The Xia Dynasty has a vast area, and it is inevitable that some places will be affected by disasters. It is not a rare thing.

Most of the time, Gong Shang Guo is talking and Gu Dan is listening.

His coming can't help Gongshang deal with any state affairs in the past, it just buys him a moment of rest.

When the sun gradually slid to the west, Gu Dan left here after dusk.

After thinking about it, he walked towards the Xia Dynasty Palace again.

After all, Wang Mang was also the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, and he had to be notified of the compilation of medical books.

Gu Dan came to the imperial study room familiarly. In the past, every time Gu Dan came, he could see Wang Mang sitting there reviewing the memorials like a hill.

But this time, it was rare that no one was there.

The afterglow of the setting sun hits the desk through the window, revealing some mottled light and shadow.

Gu Dan walked around the palace casually, and thanks to his own perception, he quickly found Wang Mang's location.

He was holding hands with Xu Wanrong and admiring the flowers in the imperial garden, looking warm and beautiful.

His sudden appearance made Wang Mang a little surprised, but more of a surprise. Every time Gu Dan came to the palace, it was a genuinely good thing for Xia Chao.

"Brother Gu!"

Wang Mang greeted first.

A hello, the guards who were still guarding the imperial garden suddenly saw someone appearing, and the nervous guards were full of surprise.

What is Emperor Xia calling that person? !

Many people think that they have heard it wrong.

Because that person looks too young, even the grand master can't look so young, Emperor Xia is already in his sixties, so the person who can be called brother by him must be 70 years old, right?

Even Grandmaster, at the age of 70, he should not look so young.

What's more, the temperament of the masters who have not experienced many vicissitudes will look different. The masters of the Xia Dynasty are all familiar to them.

Only this one has never been seen before, not to mention, even his own temperament is a little different from the master.

Although it is only the first time I have seen it, temperament, which can be seen, is still very conspicuous in the eyes of others.

Gu Dan has a calm and quiet aura, but he is also full of vitality, lacking the arrogance that unconsciously emanates from the master, or in other words, the posture of being on top of people for a long time.

"Where are the young couple hanging out?"

Gu Dan said casually.

"There are no young couples, they are all old couples."

Wang Mang was helpless.

Xu Wanrong even unconsciously pulled out the palm that Wang Mang was holding, covering half of her face.

Looking at Gu Dan with surprise, envy, and even avoidance.

As warriors who have mastered viscera, she and Wang Mang are also stuck in front of the master, unable to make any progress.

The white lotus saint who was radiant at the time became the queen of the Xia Dynasty. For more than 30 years, the matter of controlling the harem was rarely known to outsiders.

Compared with Lin Xiaoyi, the Queen of the Moon, who ran out every two days without a care, Xu Wanrong can be said to have stopped going out of the gate, and her main focus is to be diligent and thrifty in housekeeping.

Time is not forgiving, more than 30 years have taken away many things, such as appearance.

She is old, and she is no longer as beautiful as she was when she was young. The wrinkles on her face remind her that she is no longer young, and her originally slender figure will inevitably look a little bloated. .

Fortunately, the people around me are getting old together, and the relationship has not become weak due to the growth of age. In the years, such things are common and not worth mentioning.

Only when she sees Gu Dan, she will subconsciously avoid it.

It is by no means a wonderful thing for a woman to see that her elders are still so 'young', but she has already begun to step into irreversible aging.

Although the other party may not care about this, they will also compare subconsciously.

The most important thing is that the world can't keep it.

Her youth is gone forever, but her elders are still a shocker in the world, why not make people sad, and even avoid subconsciously?
After being stunned for a moment, Xu Wanrong still put down the palm that was subconsciously covering her cheek, smiled at Gu Dan on her wrinkled face, bowed and said, "I've seen Mr. Gu."

"It's okay, you are still a young couple in front of me."

Gu Dan said in relief.

He is not sensitive enough to time itself.

"I came here to tell you that the compilation of the medical canon has been completed. After so many years of development, the medicine field has accumulated a lot of medicinal materials. Although it seems a bit stretched to be used in the entire Xia Dynasty, one or two states can be selected. There is nothing wrong with being the first to implement it.”

After all, Gu Dan is not a devil who likes to oppress people. He added: "These things are not that urgent. It is not bad to see some results in the next ten years. If we want to implement them thoroughly, 30 years should be enough."

He has fallen behind with a stroke of the horoscope, and the rest needs to be catalyzed by time before he can gain something.

"Don't worry, Brother Gu, I will definitely do my best."

Wang Mang nodded immediately. It was rare for Gu Dan to be so concerned about something. Naturally, he would not slack off, and added: "The other four countries will follow up. They have sent letters to inquire several times over the years."

"This is a good thing for the benefit of the common people."

Gu Dan nodded in satisfaction.

After so many years, many old acquaintances from the past are gone. For example, Emperor Daqi, Qi Yinglong, passed away two years ago. Wang Mang also specially sent someone to deliver the letter to the small courtyard.

I don't know how many people still remember the legacy left by Gu Dan, but the good news is that the current Xia Dynasty's prosperity is not supported by his force.

Even if he is not counted, the Xia Dynasty has undoubtedly become the strongest country in the surrounding area.

This is inseparable from Wang Mang's hard work, and also from the talents who have dedicated everything to this country.

Gu Dan just quietly watched this ever-changing country gradually rise, and had a feeling of watching the once prodigal child grow up to become a man.

"By the way, there is one more thing you need to do. I was looking for you, but you came here unexpectedly."

Wang Mang said.

"Oh?"

Gu Dan was a little curious.

It has been 34 years since the founding of the Xia Dynasty, but Wang Mang has never asked him for help.

Even if he went to the small courtyard to look for him, he was just tired and looking for a place to find peace and not talk about state affairs.

This was the first time Wang Mang asked him to do something.

"Come on."

Gu Dan said.

"Do you still remember the masters of the Xia Dynasty?"

Wang Mang reminded.

"Ok?"

Gu Dan thought for a while.

As the saying goes, talented people come out from generation to generation. Although Gong Shangguo, Wang Mang, and Xu Wanrong were all stuck in front of the barriers of the Five Elements Sympathy and could not enter the realm of masters, but with enough people accumulated, the Xia Dynasty certainly had new ones. , the home-grown master was born.

But now that the war is over, the masters in the peaceful era are not particularly important, and they are rarely shown in front of others.

The influence caused by the masters of the Great Moon Era is even more different, which is caused by the difference in the situation.

For those new masters, Gu Dan has never been close to them, nor given advice, nor even met them face to face.

Now it is impossible for the Grandmaster to be his enemy, so naturally he doesn't need to care about it.

"Xue Wenjian and the others"

Seeing that Gu Dan really didn't understand, Wang Mang immediately added.

"Oh, you said them!"

This time, Gu Dan came to his senses, "Did they ask me for something?"

"Those masters who took refuge in the Xia Dynasty at the beginning are now more than a hundred years old, and even a hundred years old are approaching the end of their lives."

Wang Mang said: "A few days ago, those masters came looking for me together, I hope you can show them a way to move forward, even if the risk is extremely high, it doesn't matter if you die at any time, and there is absolutely no resentment.

I was thinking about those great masters who have contributed so much to the Xia Dynasty over the years, and I was thinking of delaying them for a few more years. Since you are here today, Brother Gu, I will ask you for your opinion. "
