Wangwu Mountain is the head of the famous Taoist mountain, there are countless Taoist priests who have always lived in seclusion, and because this mountain is located in Heluo, it is the same as Song Mountain, but all the Taoist priests favored by the Son of Heaven often build Taoist temples in this mountain, and like Sima Chengzhen, there is even a princess worshipping under the door, but it is the first time in the world. The suzerain of the Qing Sect on Maoshan has always been idle and wild, not asking about state affairs, ignoring disputes, and even once brought Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian to live on the balcony in the mountains for several months or even half a year, and the classics written are exquisite, and the calligraphy is unique in the world.

The Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu, which he wrote in three handwritten scripts, has now been carved into a stone scripture by the Son of Heaven, and all kinds of works are also treasured by both Confucianism and Taoism.

Therefore, when Princess Yuzhen learned that Sima Chengzhen was invited, she didn't care about what it was for, so she personally sent a letter to the Son of Heaven, so she hurriedly took Princess Gu'an to Wangwu Mountain. However, when she arrived at the foot of the mountain, she met people along the way. When she asked for the way, she found that it was Wang Rong, she couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately invited someone to join the car.

"Yuyao, when did you arrive in Luoyang?"

"I originally planned to go to Luoyang to visit my uncle and sister after the first lunar month, but who would have thought that when I was at home, I had to send a letter from Sect Master Sima, saying that he wanted to see me. I don't know what happened, so I entrusted Guangyuan and Hui Niang Youlin to Grandpa, and hurried over, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Wang Rong apologized for owing to Princess Yuzhen and Princess Gu'an, and then asked, "Are Uncle and Sister also ......?"

Princess Gu'an had seen Sima Chengzhen in Yunzhou at the beginning, and she had always been quite surprised that this old Taoist dared to take two golden branches and jade leaves and jade slaves to travel around the border, and later accurately concluded that it was snowing in Yunzhou that night. And when Du Shiyi was in Shanzhou, Longyou, a rocket actually shot out a thunderous sound in mid-air, and even alarmed the Son of Heaven for a time, and she muttered even more in her heart. Now seeing that Sima Chengzhen not only sent someone to invite Wang Rong, but also let them meet at the foot of the mountain, she had to think that the old Taoist priest might really be a living immortal who could pinch and calculate.

"The teacher is a human being, and he has never liked to stir up the teacher, but this time it seems that there is something really wrong."

Princess Yuzhen was suddenly a little disturbed, but when the group finally came to the balcony to watch the stargazing platform, they couldn't help but look at each other when they saw the familiar old figure standing with his hands standing upright next to the stone railing in the cold wind of the first month. In the end, it was Princess Yuzhen who shouted angrily: "Master, you suddenly summoned all of us, it really scared us to death!" ”

Sima Chengzhen, who is nearly ninety years old, turned his head and glanced at everyone, but he stroked his beard with a smile and said: "I have been watching the stars for a few days and nights, and I have a feeling in my heart, so I invited you young people to accompany me for this old way." ”

"It's all the person who sent the letter who refuses to make it clear, I asked a few times, he was just vague, I hurried all the way, don't mention how worried I was." Even Wang Rong felt palpitations at this moment. You must know that the elders who helped Du Shiyi a lot at the beginning, Yuan Qianyao and Du Siwen have passed away, and Song Jing closed the door to recuperate, leaving only Lu Hong and Du Siwen.

"Not to mention the messenger who went to you, even Sima Heiyun, who sent a letter to the Lord and me, has always been a sincere person, but this time he is vague." Princess Gu'an breathed a long sigh of relief, and after letting go of her thoughts, she even spoke a lot more freely, "However, I'm curious, what does the sect master feel when he watches the stars at night?" ”

"Watching the stars at night, feeling myself, I know that Yangshou is only a few days, so I am in a hurry to see you." This kind of most serious and heavy topic, Sima Chengzhen said it in an extremely casual tone, as if he was accustomed to eating and drinking, he didn't seem to see the stiff faces of the three people in an instant, and walked over to them calmly, "Sitting and forgetting to cultivate one's self and cultivating one's qi, for some things between life and death, I always feel more than ordinary people." I'm almost ninety years old, and although I'm not as good as those living immortals, I'm already content. What's more, if I can take that step between life and death, I will never waste my life. ”

Hearing this, Princess Yuzhen finally realized that Sima Chengzhen was not joking, but serious. At that moment, she was in disbelief and almost couldn't support her body, but Princess Gu'an helped her by her side. Thinking of her sister Princess Jinxian who left by herself, thinking of the married jade slave, and then thinking of Sima Chengzhen's indifferent attitude towards life and death, she only felt that her eyes and heart were all sour.

Princess Gu'an didn't have so much familiarity and understanding of Sima Chengzhen, and seeing that Wang Rong was also stunned, she had to cough heavily before asking, "Is what the sect master said true?" ”

"Well, if you don't believe it, you can also be a deceitful person like me." Sima Chengzhen smiled, and then he instructed Sima Heiyun, who had always been silent, "Take my things." ”

The cold day did not call the three of them into the house, but ordered to take things out of it, and Princess Gu'an couldn't help but feel more and more strange. After a while, I saw Sima Heiyun come out with a huge wooden box and put it on the ground with a weight. He took a look, opened the box, and handed the first bag of things wrapped in plain silk to Princess Yuzhen with both hands, seeing that this golden branch and jade leaf still refused to accept it, and the most difficult thing was Princess Gu'an who took it, so he turned around and went back, and took out a thin booklet from the box and sent it to Wang Rong.

Wang Rong, who was in an extremely complicated mood, took the book stiffly, looked down, and saw that it was the three words of the Danhuo Sutra on it, and she immediately thought of the two alchemy Taoist priests who let her secretly place Lu before Du Shiyi left Shanzhou, and she couldn't help but open the booklet, and she couldn't help but open the booklet, and she didn't need to look at what was written between the lines, just looking at the pictures in it, she immediately understood.

Isn't it some of the equipment that Du Shiyi also tinkered with when he had people try to make gunpowder? How could Sima Chengzhen know Du Shiyi's thoughts?

Sima Chengzhen saw Wang Rong's suspicious gaze, and smiled tolerantly: "Twenty years ago, Junli and I met in the rain of Songshan Mountain, and a relationship of borrowing an umbrella has continued to this day. Although he is the marshal of the border town, he has no lack of compassion, so I gave him this Danhuo Sutra that the master got from an unknown priest. When you see him in the future, remember to tell him. In his early years, he knew that the road was to exterminate locusts, and that the way of the road was to introduce thread-bound books, tables and chairs and other things that benefited the people, and in the future, please don't forget your own heart. ”

Before Wang Rong could answer, Princess Yuzhen had already opened the plain silk bag in her hand with the help of Princess Gu'an, and seeing that there were also a few books in it, she couldn't help but raise her head a little dazedly.

"Supreme Truth, you are a princess, noble, and I have nothing to leave you, just a few manuscripts written over the years, some self-cultivation Taoist books, that's all. It's impossible for you to do it, don't force yourself. Even if you can't be a couple, you can be a confidant. ”

Sima Chengzhen said and suddenly smiled at Princess Gu'an: "Yuan Niang, you have a tough temperament, better than a man, please take care of the supreme truth in the future." ”

After explaining this, Sima Chengzhen gestured to Sima Heiyun, only to see the latter take out a fire fold from his arms, and actually set fire to the wooden box where other things were still placed. I don't know if he poured something unknown when he lit the fire, and the flames rose high in an instant, and the wooden box was completely swallowed in an instant. Sima Chengzhen, on the other hand, closed his eyes and prayed silently, and only after a long time did he hold on to the railing again and turned to look at the hazy sky.

"Between life and death, is it the illusion of silence, or the beginning of reincarnation, or ......"

Hearing Sima Chengzhen's low muttering stop abruptly, Sima Heiyun, who had been paying attention to him all the time, couldn't help but rush forward and grabbed his arm. Seeing that the master who had followed him for decades was leaning on his arms like this, his eyes seemed to be closed, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, even if he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, tremblingly stretched out his hand to probe the snort, and finally froze there.

His sudden movement, Princess Yuzhen, Princess Gu'an, and Wang Rong could all see it clearly, but it wasn't until he turned around with a gloomy face that they realized what was wrong, and they were all stunned for a while. When Princess Gu'an, who reacted the fastest, hurriedly summoned Zhang Yao and Huo Qing, and sent Princess Yuzhen to the room for a while, Wang Rongfang tried his best to let out a breath of depression.

This fall is too sudden!

In the eyes of the three women, Sima Chengzhen's sudden feathering was really unexpected, but the balcony seemed to have been prepared. In particular, Li Hanguang, a disciple of Sima Chengzhen, rushed over a few days ago, and immediately took over the task of treating the funeral and reporting the funeral to the imperial court, which made Sima Heiyun, a confidant, have nothing to do.

On the evening of this day, he came to Wang Rong's residence to ask to see him, and when he saw Wang Rong, whose eyes were slightly red and swollen, he pondered for a moment and then said: "Madam, in addition to the booklet that the sect master just gave in front of someone, there is actually something left for Du Dashuai. ”

"The sect master still has a bequest?"

Seeing Wang Rong's stunned face, Sima Heiyun took out a box, and after opening it, there were two porcelain bottles more than two inches high, and presented them to Wang Rong with a complicated face: "Sect Master Sima said that everyone died at the end of last year, which made people sigh for a while, but she is not an indispensable person in the government and the opposition after all, and there are dozens of disciples, all of whom have become famous, so no one cares about it." But if it was replaced by someone else who mattered, it would be different. The imperial doctors come and go, and they may not be unable to see the clues. Please keep this medicine for Mrs., maybe he will be able to use it someday. ”

At this moment, Wang Rong only felt that his heart jumped violently, and he almost jumped out of his chest. Aunt Gongsun's death was planned by Princess Gu'an, and she only knew that there was such a thing in Lu Dao, but how could Sima Chengzhen, who was watching from the balcony of Wangwu Mountain, know Lu Dao? Moreover, this bequeathed medicine is ...... He can teach the imperial doctor something that can't see flaws?

Sima Heiyun bowed deeply, and then said in a low voice: "The sect master plays the world, and sometimes he will quietly go out of the mountain and enter the world, and few people know about it, so he can observe what others don't notice. After the death of the sect master, I will stay in the tomb and never come out, so I will say goodbye to my wife and greet Du Dashuai on my behalf. ”
