Chapter 2151 Just Needed
Zhen Yuan Shenjun enters Chang'an City. This contrast is no less than that of a seventh or even eighth sequence person entering Xijing City.
As the party in control of the power, it is not difficult to understand the mood of the Empress Dowager.
Zhang Xuezhou was very aware of this contrast. After persuading Li Shaojun, he felt that the Queen Mother was still nearby.
The fact that the Queen Mother did not leave meant that the other party's mood was still stable and she had even made some judgments.
This made Zhang Xuezhou quickly introduce himself to Zhenyuan Shenjun and Li Shaojun.
"Taoist Zhenyuan, Taoist Li Shaojun is the inheritor of Taoism, and Taoism was also the top school of thought in the past in the East!"
"Taoist Li, Taoist Zhenyuan is the successor to the Western Journey This is the first time for the casual cultivator to be a guest in Chang'an City! "
The biggest problem for Lord Zhenyuan is his identity. This identity is not important when facing ordinary people, but it is not important when facing the master of the Han Dynasty! time has obviously become a problem.
If the identity of Zhenyuan Shenjun cannot be determined, and such a top cultivator is allowed to stay nearby, it is undoubtedly a knife next to the pillow.
"I have admired the reputation of Taoist Lao Tzu for a long time, but it is a pity that Zhenyuan is not useful now that I am so famous that it is difficult to compete with me. This has always made me regretful in my heart," Shenjun Zhenyuan said politely.
"Taoist Priest, have you lived for many years?" Li Shaojun asked with a dry smile.
“It’s not that much, I’m just a short-lived species,” Lord Zhenyuan shook his head.
“Huh?”
“Where I practice, Pindao used to be the youngest and shortest-lived, and it was only in the past few decades that anyone else took his place!”
Zhenyuan Shenjun never thought that he lived a very long life. Although he became the number one human god in the Kunlun Holy Land, Zhenyuan Shenjun was the youngest and shortest among the practitioners in the West Kunlun Holy Land in the past years.
Once it comes to discussing age, longevity, etc., Zhenyuan Shenjun cannot feel proud at all.
He even showed no caution in this regard, mentioning his regret that he had never confirmed Lao Tzu in the past.
As everyone knows, without the conditions for cultivating one's life, very few people outside West Kunlun live long. There is no longer the grand scene of the eight hundred years of the monk Peng Zu's life in the classics. Even a hundred years is a rare longevity.
"The place where the Taoist master is located is tens of thousands of miles away from us, and the road is dangerous and difficult to reach." Zhang Xuezhou explained: "The place where they live needs to be repaired every day. Those who succeed in it will naturally live longer. Those who fail will have a short life, and their long life will be full of bones!”
"What Dongfang Shuo said is absolutely true!"
Zhenyuan Shenjun thought about the many mummies and bones under the Wanshou fruit tree, and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.
Those who can cultivate the secret of immortality will live long, and those who cannot cultivate it will all turn into white bones early.
On one side are the long-lived species who have already practiced cultivation, and on the other side are the short-lived species who are constantly catching up in the time after tomorrow.
Among them, there are long-lived species whose lifespans are reaching dusk, and there are also short-lived species that have died on the way to practice and seek longevity. Life and death together constitute the extremely unique Kunlun Holy Land.
"What a pity. Xiaodao has always longed for immortality, and he still wants to learn from the Taoist priest," Li Shaojun sighed.
“It’s good to have one immortal among a hundred people,” Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile.
“No, no, no, in the past, those who practiced longevity were only one in a thousand, but now they are none in ten thousand!”
Zhang Xuezhou’s words were corrected very quickly by Zhenyuan Shenjun.
Even in the age of cultivating life, there are only very few people who can practice longevity.
It seems that many great cultivators in the Three Realms have achieved longevity, but there are only a few thousand cases in an era. This rate is actually not high.
After this era, it is extremely rare for those who want to practice to live longer.
Except for himself and Zhang Xuezhou, who accidentally borrowed the Wanshou fruit tree to obtain a false positive life and became semi-immortal with flaws, Zhenyuan Shenjun has not found anyone who has achieved immortality as a result.
After a few words, even Li Shaojun's strange thoughts were quickly suppressed.
The Queen Mother, who was listening from a distance, only listened to the beginning, and then completely disappeared the little thoughts that emerged in her heart. But with the help of this conversation, the Empress Dowager came to know that Li Shaojun had no good way to extend his life, and even envied his longevity.
“Thirty years is one life, twelve lives is one fortune, thirty fortunes are one meeting, and twelve meetings are one yuan. Xian Ting once extended this saying, saying that those who can get one yuan can enjoy a long life. This person's name is Zhenyuan. Only by having the belief to suppress the number of one yuan can he achieve such longevity and strength."
The Empress Dowager is not more than a hundred years old, and she has only practiced for a few decades! .
Her skills are inferior to others, and she feels that the gap between her and the Lord Zhenyuan is so great that she is almost desperate.
But when it became clear that Zhenyuan Shenjun had been cultivating for many years, she could understand the reason for this gap.
Some people seek rapid development in a short period of time, while others seek longevity and then slowly promote their practice. The Empress Dowager is the former, while Zhenyuan Shenjun is the latter.
The former pursues and fights fiercely, while the latter pursues it slowly.
Compared to the former, the latter is less likely to succeed, but the latter is also more likely to be more powerful. There can be dozens of monks like the Empress Dowager in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and if There may only be one or two monks like Zhenyuan Shenjun in a hundred years.
The probability is so low that no one would particularly envy or pursue it.
In a short period of communication, the Empress Dowager’s defensive attitude towards the Lord Zhenyuan also dropped again and again. She felt that such people who have acquired longevity should be people with a clear mind and will not fall into In the mud of worldly power.
The other party was even able to make friends with Zhang Xuezhou and get together with many vulgar people.
The Empress Dowager glanced at the long wide wooden table in Zhangzhai and saw bowls and chopsticks placed in front of Zhenyuan Shenjun. There were millet and pork in the bowls, and Rong Tianding was sitting beside her, feeling sad. The breath he took has completely relaxed.
"What are you doing here? Don't cause trouble for me. This time you provoke the Empress Dowager. Have I offended you in this life?"
Wait until Zhang Xuezhou began to clamor, confirming that the emperor and the queen mother were far away from Zhang's house. Li Shaojun immediately broke the news with an indifferent expression on his face.
“Grandpa, uncle, I call you uncle, you can’t leave me alone!”
Li Shaojun looked at some Zhangjiazhuang people who helped build the wall, then looked at Zhenyuan Shenjun, and then approached Zhang Xuezhou to complain.
"If you leave me alone, I will be in jail these days and suffer," Li Shaojun whispered.
“Tch!” Zhang Xuezhou replied disdainfully.
"I have benefits. I really have many benefits. I just need a little effort from you!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou was not able to make money, Li Shaojun had no choice but to move the benefits.
"I haven't been able to exert any energy recently," Zhang Xuezhou said, "I'm going to bed tonight, and I'll have to travel far away in half a month, so I won't be able to spare the time to do anything with you!"
"Then what should I do?" Li Shaojun gritted his teeth and said: "I have a very high reputation in Chang'an City. Now all the civil and military officials of the dynasty invite me to their homes for banquets. They will also give me their treasures from home. I see, without your help, I can’t see anything now!”
“What’s the use of just looking at it?”
Zhang Xuezhou originally thought that Li Shaojun’s benefits came from Anle Palace. Getting oil and water might involve purple, gold and red gourds, which made him very less interested. After all, Zhang Xuezhou's Secret of Immortality had been promoted to the level of magical power, and the current demand for foreign goods was not high.
When Li Shaojun mentioned that he could visit various houses for banquets and see many treasures, including various antiquities and inheritances from previous dynasties, Zhang Xuezhou became more interested.
But he really didn't have much else to do at the moment. After all, Zhang Xuezhou promised to guide Zhenyuan Shenjun to the Yiji River Holy Land to visit Dao Lord.
This involves the magic weapon and formation for Shenjun Zhenyuan to settle down and live in peace. If he had not fallen into a coma, Shenjun Zhenyuan would definitely want to set off immediately.
"It's okay to take it," Li Shaojun gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I recognize that it is useful, they will give me some gifts. Doing this kind of thing will not involve any trouble or consequences, and we can also make a profit, far away It’s safer than plotting in Anle Palace!”
"What gift?"
"Elixirs and medicinal materials... You are a monk of the Yin-Yang school. I have not seen you set up a formation in so many years. If you are not short of elixirs, you will always be If you are missing something for formation, I can give you something for formation after taking advantage of it!”
Zhang Xuezhou likes to pursue profits and does not do things that are useless. Li Shaojun said the word pill. After seeing Zhang Xuezhou's face that had not changed at all, he quickly changed his target for temptation.
His words had no effect on Zhang Xuezhou, but they attracted the Lord Zhenyuan who just needed the formation materials.
