Chapter 72

Jing Ran entered the small courtyard, and saw that Master Ge Hong had already got up and was sitting in the small courtyard reading a book.Although the courtyard is small, it is elegant and unique, and the small medicine garden is full of exotic flowers and herbs.

A towering tree is planted in the middle of the courtyard, with dense branches and leaves covering the entire small courtyard. There is a stone table and four stone benches under the tree. There is an incense burner burning on the stone table. Curly smoke comes out of the incense burner. The fragrance filled the entire courtyard.

Jing Ran also sat down on the stone bench and said to Master, "Master's yard is very special, it's different from the guest room we live in."

Ge Hong said: "This is not a guest room, but my own small courtyard. Xizhi built it for me according to my wishes. Every year, I will spare a period of time to live here for a while."

Jing Ran said: "Master, your incense is also good. It smells very refreshing, and it is very suitable for burning in summer."

Ge Hong said: "I call this incense, which is specially designed to cure fatigue. After smelling it for a while, I feel refreshed and don't fall asleep."

Jing Ran said, "Master, there is someone standing outside the door, do you know?"

Ge Hong said: "I know, he has been here for several days, standing at the door all day."

Jing Ran said: "He sincerely worships you as a teacher, why don't you accept him? You even accept me."

Ge Hong shook his head and said: "You are different from him. You are more spiritual. You see that you don't know how to make alchemy, but you are not unfamiliar with my things. You can conjure tricks when you pick them up. You are a talented person. Look at him too If you are so determined, you will do nothing but wait so foolishly."

Jing Ran said: "The tricks I have become are all from other people's perspectives. I didn't come up with it myself. This time, you may be mistaken. I think he is more suitable than me to be your apprentice, and he will definitely inherit it." of your mantle."

Ge Hong glanced at Jing Ran, and said, "I can also be called a miscellaneous person. I will learn as long as I am interested in anything. You can learn the same skills as me. In fact, I really want you to accompany me. You are looking for immortals and refining medicine with me, who knows that you are not interested in this at all."

Jing Ran said: "That's just right. This Xun Xin is dedicated to seeking immortals. It's just right for me to learn this from you. What about me? I'll just follow you to learn medical skills. It's great. The two apprentices learn two things from you, and there will be no harm. The same is lost."

Ge Hong said: "Looking for immortals and refining medicine also depends on the wisdom root of immortal fate. You have more of this immortal fate. He seems a bit dull."

Jing Ran said: "Anyway, you have also opened the teacher's door. You can't just accept me as an apprentice and close the door? At least let me take in a junior student. Think about it. We carry stones all day long and dig herbs. These are all physical labors." For people like you and me who rely on wisdom to live, why do we have to work hard to do physical work? How good it is to accept this Xun Xin, who is young and strong, just to help us carry things."

Ge Hong said: "Oh? This makes sense. Every time I travel, I have to carry a lot of things, especially the ores used for alchemy. They are too heavy, and I can't carry them with my old bones."

Jing Ran took the opportunity to quickly say: "Yes, yes, Master. Xun Xin has a firm will to seek immortality, and he can accompany you and take care of you in the future, which is much more convenient than me as a female apprentice. If you don't accept it, it's really a big deal." What a loss!"

Ge Hong said seriously: "I definitely didn't accept him just to use him as a coolie. I only accepted him because you kept pleading for him."

Jing Ran also said earnestly: "My master, Ge Hong, is someone who will be famous in the future. How could he accept someone as an apprentice because he wants to use him? My master is high-spirited, and he must be to impart the essence of Taoism and carry forward the spirit of Taoism." He only accepts apprentices."

Ge Hong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well, that's a good point!"
