Chapter 29 Talking about Immortals
Cao Miao was thinking about how to hook up with Sun Yong, but Sun Yong took the initiative to come to him.
Cao Miao was lying on Hu's bed in the corridor. He had just woken up in his nap. He was a little surprised when he heard that Sun Yong had come. However, he did not show it. He neither welcomed nor refused. He lay on Hu's bed without moving, and looked like he ignored him.
Sun Yong stood at the steps, several steps away from Cao Miao, with a nervous expression on his face. He kept wiping his sweat with his handkerchief and staring at Cao Miao. The two servants beside him also looked embarrassed, looking reluctant.
Ah Hu, who was practicing martial arts, rushed over, naked, sweating and glared at him.
Cao Zhi ordered Qingtao to set up a mat for Sun Yong. Qingtao brought the mat and spread it under the corridor. Just as he was about to invite Sun Yong to the mat, Cao Miao waved his hand.
"Wait. Although my yard is simple, no one has a place for everyone."
Sun Yong made a furious attack, took a step back, and looked at Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi hurried forward and whispered: "Brother..."
Cao Miao waved his hand and interrupted Cao Zhi. Although he didn't say a word or even looked at Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi couldn't help but remember the powerful figure on the roof that night, amid the lightning and thunder, and immediately breathed a shortness of breath and obediently closed his mouth.
Cao Miao tilted his head and glanced at Sun Yong sideways. Seeing Sun Yong felt so sad that he regretted it.
"Sun Fujun, are there any gods in this world?"
Sun Yong was slightly stunned and then said happily: "Of course there is."
"Have you seen it before?"
"This... Yong is also blessed and has never seen it before."
"Then how do you know there is?"
Sun Yong did not think it was offensive, and stroked his beard and said, "Life is short, only a hundred years, and the journey is only a thousand miles. How can you see everything? The scriptures contain it, so it may not be untrustworthy. If this is true, then the people and things a hundred years ago were all false?"
Cao Miao turned over and sat up, looked at Sun Yong with a bright look, and reached out to invite him with a smile.
"sit!"
Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment, then walked to Sun Yong, reached out to help him, and whispered: "I am still the mansion's talent."
Sun Yong was also a little proud and whispered: "The eldest prince has a very famous morale, and this is not the other one." He went up the steps and took a seat.
Cao Miao was originally sitting by Hu's bed with his legs hanging down, about a foot taller than Sun Yong. He looked at Sun Yong with a high altitude. Seeing Sun Yong kneeling, he chuckled, lifted up his clothes, sat cross-legged, and stroked his knees with both hands.
"Which one of Wanhuhou or Changsheng Medicine, who will choose from the Duke?"
Sun Yong bowed slightly and said with a smile: "There are always marquises in Wanhu, but it is hard to find the medicine for immortality. If there is the medicine for immortality, how can the Marquis of Wanhu be worth it?"
Cao Miao laughed and pointed his hand at Sun Yong. "It's not bad. Qingtao, set up a case."
Qingtao responded and turned to file.
Sun Yong's smile became brighter, and he picked the corners of his mouth. He looked at Cao Miao's eyes. The more he looked, the more interesting he felt. The prince was notorious, and he fought Gao Xun in front of him yesterday and bit off Gao Xun's finger like a mad dog. Unexpectedly, he would be interested in cultivating immortals. But it is normal to think about it. As the son of King Yongqiu, he is rich and noble, and the possibility of climbing up is extremely small. It is understandable to pay attention to cultivating immortals.
This is the difference between people.
A half-crazy person has a good life and does not need to work hard. He has reached a state that ordinary people can hardly achieve in their entire lives when he is born, and can practice calmly. Unlike him, he is obviously indifferent and has lofty ambitions, but he has to struggle in the officialdom for a livelihood and is forced to breathe by various common things every day. If he is not careful, he may even lose his life.
Qingtao brought the case and placed it in front of Sun Yong. Sun Yong was happy, but he didn't look at it deliberately, but just glanced at it reservedly.
"Thank you the case."
Cao Zhi was stunned. Sun Yong was the prefect of Chenliu and had the responsibility to supervise the Yongqiu Palace. Every time he came to the Yongqiu Palace, Yongqiu King Cao Zhi would personally meet him. He was very kind. Although Sun Yong was not as arrogant as Wang Ji and others before, he did not take the respect of the Yongqiu Palace seriously. Now Brother Wang just gave him a case, not even a drink. How could he actually thank him?
Is he crazy?
Cao Miao looked at Sun Yong with a smile, tilted his head, opened his mouth, and Hong Xing understood. He quickly picked up the prepared water cup and fed Cao Miao a mouthful. Sun Yong didn't feel thirsty at first, but seeing Cao Miao drink water, he became a little thirsty inexplicably. However, Cao Miao refused to give it to him, so he was embarrassed to ask for it, so he could only cheer up and prepare to deal with Cao Miao's problems.
Judging from Cao Miao's meaning, there should be still questions to ask. If you answer it well, maybe there is a drink available.
"Can you know where to find the medicine for immortality?"
Sun Yong did not dare to be negligent and pondered for a moment. "Either go into the deep mountains or into the sea. If you are sincere, when the opportunity comes, you will naturally encounter an immortal to give medicine."
Cao Miao tilted his mouth and laughed silently. He looked at Sun Yong, with regret in his eyes.
Sun Yong was a little disappointed. "I would like to ask the eldest prince for advice."
Cao Miao withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and looked at his fingers. "Qin Emperor and Han Wu all sent people up the mountain and into the sea, but they all returned empty-handed. Could it be because their hearts are not sincere?"
Sun Yong frowned slightly, and he was difficult to answer for a moment.
Cao Miao turned over and lay down, waved his sleeves. "I am tired and sleepy. Please go by yourself, I will not leave you."
Sun Yong was very disappointed, but it was inconvenient to attack. He discussed the matter of cultivating immortals with Cao Miao. He was not a secular person, so he naturally was not convenient to use the prefect's power to suppress others. He became vulgar. Besides, Cao Miao was not a person who was afraid of the power of the official. But he was still a little angry. Cao Miao was too arrogant. Even if he had a lot of time to practice Taoism, was he still better than his practice in this half of his life?
Sun Yong coughed and said, "We shouldn't have disturbed the eldest prince Qingxiu, but there is something unknown. I want to ask the eldest prince to testify."
"What's the matter?" Cao Miao didn't open his eyes, his hands were folded, and he placed them on his chest, and said lightly.
"Ling I wrote an article, which mentioned the poem lying by the eldest prince, which is the article 'Harvesting the Yanyan'. I want to ask the eldest prince to read it and make sure that the words and sentences are correct so as not to spread rumors and create ambiguity, which is not beneficial to Ling I."
"What is 'heavy rain falling on Youyan' is just a dream talk. The dream is nothing, how to confirm it? I am helpless."
"Big Prince, this..."
Cao Miao asked without hesitation: "Mr. Fu, can you remember all the dreams you have had clearly?"
Sun Yong was speechless. The dream was indeed hard to express. Cao Miao was crazy at that time, which was no different from the dream. He asked him to confirm that these poems were indeed a bit difficult. However, Cao Zhi's interpretation of the poems in this article was too sensational. If the quotation was not clear, wouldn't it be a sensational way to make things happen out of nothing?
If Cao Zhi's explanation is really nonsense and not worth mentioning, then that would be fine. However, Cao Zhi's explanation is very material and has great consequences. If he really ignores it, it will be detrimental to his career.
Sun Yong was in a dilemma and had to turn around and ask Cao Zhi for help.
Cao Zhi didn't expect Cao Miao to refuse to confirm and was helpless. He wanted to ask Cao Miao, but Cao Miao snored, which clearly didn't want to pay attention to them.
Cao Zhi had no choice but to ask Sun Yong to go back to his residence first and then discuss.
