Chapter 1062 Immortality
After leaving the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion and walking towards the carriage, Fang Jun asked, "Is your family all coming to the capital?"
His Majesty Li Er wanted to meet the most mysterious Yuming family in the world, so he entrusted the Yuming family far away in the south of the Yangtze River to send a message. No matter what, His Majesty Li Er is the master of the world, and Yu Ming must give him the necessary respect even if he is born again. Therefore, after receiving Fang Jun's letter, old man Yu Ming agreed.
Although it is already the twelfth lunar month of winter in Guanzhong, the construction of Huating Town far south of the Yangtze River has not stopped. The academy was ordered by His Majesty Li Er to move to Chang'an, and the buildings that were built and under construction that were originally used as the academy's lecture halls and dormitories were completely vacant. With the great assistance of the Yuming family, Fang Jun ordered that the academy be moved to Chang'an. All R&D institutions have been relocated to these buildings, and hidden sentries are set up around them to monitor them closely.
"How can they all come? There are only three of me, my little sister and my grandfather."
Yu Minglei still had a cool expression. He first walked around the four-wheeled carriage and looked at the shock absorber blades on the horizontal axis where they were in contact with the body, and then looked at the parts separated from the body. The two steering devices are connected together and can be turned at will. After thinking for a moment, the handsome face has changed.
"Such a simple improvement has made the carriage run more smoothly, ride more comfortably, and the load capacity has been greatly increased. The Marquis's thinking is really unimaginable and wonderful!"
Fang Jun asked: "When your ancestor came to Chang'an, he naturally went to Tai Chi Palace to admonish His Majesty. Brother Yu Ming just happened to solve a big problem for me when he came here. Then where did your violent lolita go?"
Yu Minglei was a little dissatisfied: "If a gentleman doesn't say bad words, how can Mr. Hou say hurtful words? You must know that my little sister will find her husband's family sooner or later. What should I do if I am slandered by you with such bad words and delay a life-long event in the future?"
Fang Jun opened the car door and invited Yu Minglei to get in, and said suddenly: "Slander? Please, we are seeking truth from facts, brother! Your girl is so violent, punching and kicking people at every turn, what kind of family is that? If you are not afraid that your son will be beaten and maimed, you are simply asking for trouble.”
Yu Minglei got into the carriage and stared at Fang Jun with burning eyes, a little sullenly: "My girl is pure and beautiful, far better than ordinary ladies."
Fang Jun laughed: "What's the use of being beautiful? Marry a virtuous wife, your girl is far behind."
Yu Minglei frowned, thinking about it, it seemed that Fang Jun was right?
My girl is so innocent that she is really not suitable for marrying into someone else's family to raise a husband and raise children.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Then I will marry into your family and be your concubine, right?"
Fang Jun sweated profusely!
He quickly shook his hands like windmills and said incessantly: "Brother, can you spare me? With my skills, I will be hammered to death by your sister in less than two years, okay? Brother Yu Ming, you don't want to do it either." I hope your girl will be widowed at a young age, right? Besides, how can any brother take the initiative to send a girl to be a concubine? Even if you say this, be careful if that violent girl hears it and ends up with you!"
Yu Minglei shuddered and shut up decisively.
There seems to be a problem with the genetic inheritance of Yu Ming's family. Not only has the number of people in his generation become thinner, but the most unacceptable thing is that the trend of yin and yang is becoming more and more obvious. Yu Minglei is a natural martial arts genius, but who would have expected that his younger sister Yu Mingxue is even better!
Often many of Yu Minglei's masters practice hard and become more refined, but that little girl just likes to play and master it after just a few plays...
When it comes to force value, Yu Minglei is no longer Yu Mingxue's opponent.
Thinking that if the girl heard that he was going to give her to Fang Jun as a concubine, then he would be hunted down all over the world?
He quickly said: "If these words come out of my mouth and enter your ears, just take it in your stomach."
Fang Jun naturally nodded his head.
Just kidding, even if Yu Minglei was caught and beaten wildly by his sister, would he still be able to get away with it?
That violent girl always only talks about fists and is not unreasonable...

"I want to live forever, but I don't know where to go?"
In the Zhaode Hall on the east side of the Taiji Hall, His Majesty Li Er sat opposite the old man Yu Ming, who had both white beard and hair.
After enjoying the glory of the world and controlling life and death in the world, any emperor yearns more than ordinary people to be able to live forever and hold on to this supreme right in the world. Qin Shihuang once sent Xu Fu and three thousand boys and girls to sail across the sea. Du is searching for the elixir of immortality, and His Majesty Li Er is no exception...
Old man Yu Ming was dressed in Gebu clothes, and his immortal temperament came out of the dust. He shook his head and said: "I don't know if there is a way to immortality. There must be a way to ascend and become an immortal in the daytime. But from beginning to end, None of the sages of previous generations had even a few words to describe becoming an immortal or attaining enlightenment. Perhaps they did not attain enlightenment. They are also ignorant like us, but after attaining enlightenment, they realize that leaving any words behind is meaningless behavior. I don’t know what is the correct path to attain enlightenment, but I know that if a person’s roots are strong, he can breathe easily. , can capture the righteousness of heaven and earth, and prolong life. ”
His Majesty Li Er felt disappointed.
If there are really people in the world who are closest to immortality and a glimpse of the way of heaven, it must be the Yuming family. This mysterious family has made it their mission to enter the supreme heaven. They have been tirelessly pursuing this seemingly illusory goal for more than a thousand years, and have remained unyielding despite setbacks.
If this road is blocked, how can the Yuming family persist for thousands of years with their wisdom and ability?
However, the wisest old man among the Yu Ming family in front of him said such words, which made him extremely disappointed, as if the dream in his heart had died before it even started...
Of course he hopes to extend his lifespan, but what does it mean compared to immortality?
He then asked: "Is Yuming's path of practice similar to that of Taoism?"
Old man Yu Ming said: "Different paths lead to the same destination."
His Majesty Li Er nodded.
In order to enhance the authority of the Li family, the great ancestor Li Yuan strongly integrated his ancestors into the lineage of Laozi and Li Dan. Therefore, the Taoism founded by Laozi naturally became the "state religion".
But as an ambitious emperor, how could he have time to study Taoist secrets?
His Majesty Li Er is not a fool. A family like the Yu Ming family, which has inherited deep resentment and is extremely intelligent, has not been able to achieve immortality after more than a thousand years of pursuit. He is burdened with chores, physically and mentally haggard, and cannot gain a glimpse of the way of heaven.
Sighing: "The fate is determined by the sky, and it is an unpleasant thing after all."
The old man Yu Ming shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is ridiculous, my life belongs to me, not to heaven and earth."
His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by this?"
"Human life, the length of life, is determined by oneself, not by other external forces. According to Taoism, Tao gives birth to all things, Tao and life are intertwined, life and Tao are inseparable, and Tao is inseparable. Life, if the road goes away, there will be death. Therefore, as long as people are good at cultivating their moral character and calming their minds, they can live forever. From Laochan's perspective, immortality may be too absurd and absurd, but it is easy to change one's destiny and increase one's lifespan."
His Majesty Li Er said humbly: "I would like to hear the details."
Old man Yu Ming smiled, feeling very fond of the Supreme Emperor's humble attitude.
Of course, for an emperor who holds the ultimate power in the world, the injustice in his heart that he wants to live forever cannot be easily changed...
Then he gave His Majesty Li Er a "immortality course".
"The Taishang Laojun Vipassana Sutra says, 'The Taoist exists but has no form, and has no emotions, and can change unpredictably and communicate with all living beings. In the human body, it is a god, which is called the heart. Therefore, when Taoists practice Taoism, they cultivate their hearts and teach people. Cultivating means cultivating the Tao. The Tao cannot be seen because it is born; it is not permanent, so it is maintained by the Tao. If there is birth and death, the Tao will be destroyed. If the Tao is abandoned, there will be life and death. Therefore, it is said that life and death belong to the form and not the Tao. Therefore, the form is the result of walking on the Tao. The shape is the reason for the death. If a person can exist and maintain the Tao, what does this mean? People often lose their lives if they are not following the Tao, and they often lose their lives if they do not practice. Therefore, those who maintain health should be careful not to lose their lives, and those who follow the Tao should be careful not to lose their lives. >
Taoism combines Taoist philosophy with the way of longevity. Because it is believed that "life" and "Tao" go hand in hand, the ancestors have proposed many ways to maintain health and fitness in order to pursue longevity and longevity. Cultivation methods such as inner elixir, outer elixir, pondering, keeping oneness, convincing Qi, and guidance allow people to cultivate themselves with a pure mind and few desires, eliminate meat and fish to nourish their nature, and pick medicinal herbs to prevent diseases, etc.
Practicing Taoism carefully may not necessarily lead to immortality, but it will definitely make people live longer, have a righteous mind and a peaceful mind, blend with nature, and coordinate with yin and yang.
His Majesty Li Er nodded and accepted the instruction.
But he was thinking in his heart; what this old man said was the truth of the world, but he only expounded the benefits and necessity of cultivating Taoism from the aspect of cultivating one's moral character. So are the "golden elixirs" in Taoism closer to immortality? (End of chapter)
