Gu Dan's words were sincere and did not seem to be hypocritical at all.
The warm smile that Qing Pingzi always had on his face couldn't help but freeze.
Nowadays, there are many people who want to enter Qingfeng Temple but have no way to enter. It is a great honor for him to come and take the initiative to invite.
Gu Dan seemed to be tempted, but he didn't seem to be.
In the end, he refused.
"It doesn't matter."
Qing Pingzi shook his head and said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and curing diseases and saving people is not necessarily inferior to the desire to seek immortality. However, although I don't want to enter my Qingfeng Temple at this time, if you change your mind, or want to practice To practice the art of inner breathing, you can also come to see it in meditation."
"It's not Qingfeng Guan's turn to teach you the art of inner breath."
A tall, dark-skinned man walked out of the old house, staring at Qingpingzi with piercing eyes and undisguised disgust.
The person who came was none other than Mo Qiu.
"Huh?"
Qing Pingzi screamed in surprise. With his martial arts skills, he was unable to notice someone approaching quietly!
Looking at this person again, he is more than nine feet tall, with a body like an iron tower, dark complexion and resolute eyes. There is no unnecessary movement between dragon and tiger steps, and every move is as light as heavy.
His martial arts skills have reached the state of transformation!
Mo Qiu did not shy away from Qing Pingzi's probing gaze, and he also criticized unceremoniously: "The alchemists and their like deceived the superiors and deceived the inferiors, causing harm to the country and the people. Even the government collapsed, and a generation of emperors did not ask the emperor to ask for immortality! You have How dare you come to the door to advocate for the alchemists when you see the countless living people under Dayue's rule?!"
Gu Dan had never seen Mo Qiu look so angry. His voice was like thunder and breathtaking, and his breath was vigorous and waving as if a real dragon had come to the world. The indescribable feeling of oppression was enough to make people dare not express their anger.
However, Qingpingzi was able to coax even Emperor Zongming around, and all the civil and military officials could do nothing. Naturally, he was not an ordinary person.
Facing Mo Qiu's sudden accusation, he didn't show any trace of shame on his face, and immediately said: "Qiu Xian asked, what's wrong? There are countless people in this world, but the immortal way is everlasting! Even if ordinary things can change in all kinds of ways, how can they be as good as this? The secret of the one hundred and one immortal paths?
As for the collapse of Chao Gang, I am just an alchemist, how can I control Chao Gang? There are tens of millions of people in the Dayue Dynasty, and how much are their wealth and lives related to my Qingfeng Temple? Your Excellency has grievances in your heart, why don't you talk to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and tell them clearly, and carefully tell them to love the people and protect their lives? "
Mo Qiu said in a cold voice: "You have tricked the emperor with your words and deeds to seek the illusory fairy traces and miracles, but you ignore the tens of millions of people under your rule. How dare you have the nerve to tell how much your wealth and life are related to Qingfeng Temple?"
"Ah."
Qing Pingzi also sneered, "People know how to value themselves. How can the people be what I need to consider? Qingfeng Guan's abilities are all related to the path of seeking immortality, and it is natural for him to plan for this. What's wrong? Your Excellency cares about the common people, why don't you take up the position of prime minister, so that you can clarify the world and recruit more comrades, so that the people from all over the world can be convinced and the people can live in peace!"
It is said that alchemists are sharp-tongued and eloquent, and Gu Dan finally saw it today.
Mo Qiu's accusation was not unreasonable, but Qing Pingzi didn't feel ashamed at all.
As he said, all the skills of the alchemist are based on seeking immortality. How can it be that they need to worry about the livelihood of the people?
As for Emperor Zongming not going to court for ten years, that is only because the emperor is happy!
If you insist on blaming the alchemist for this debt, then I'm sorry, Qing Pingzi won't admit it.
Qing Pingzi threw the pot away, how could Mo Qiu not understand what he meant?
He immediately said: "The tiger came out of the coffin, the tortoise and jade were destroyed in the coffin, who is at fault? The guardian of the code cannot refuse to take responsibility!"
Tigers and rhinos come out of their cages and hurt people, and turtles and jade are destroyed in their boxes. Whose fault is it? Is it the fault of the tiger, rhinoceros and turtle jade? Obviously not! It should be the fault of the guards, the negligence of the guards!
The alchemist asked how to seek immortality, but that was not his concern at all.
However, the alchemist went to the temple to advocate spiritual practice, which had seriously affected the national policy of the Dayue Dynasty, and it had an extremely obvious impact on Emperor Zongming.
The implication is: You said that the people of Liming have nothing to do with you and are not an issue that you need to consider. However, the people of Liming have become increasingly poor because of you. How dare you say that this is not your fault? !
"Different road non-phase plan!"
Qing Pingzi's expression changed, and after leaving a sentence, he didn't want to continue to pester, and waved his sleeves away angrily.
Mo Qiu's eyes were closely following Qing Pingzi's back, his palms were clenched into fists, and his aura became more and more profound and majestic.
Murderous!
Gu Dan immediately stepped forward, stopped Mo Qiu's gaze, and said: "Brother Mo, the harm caused by the alchemists cannot be solved by getting rid of one or two people. In the fourteenth year of Zongming Dynasty, the second prince made a bitter speech in the Hall of Cultivation of the Immortal. He begged the emperor to pay attention to his interests, but instead he was demoted to the frontier, and his wife and children were not even spared. He has not returned home for eight years.
Even if we can capture Qingpingzi today, will there be another Rumengzi or Yixianzi in the future? It's just treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Don't act rashly! "
The Great Moon Dynasty did not become like this overnight. Although it was indeed due to the alchemists, it is really a bit self-deceiving to rely on the alchemists for everything.
In the beginning, I don’t know how many good ministers advised me, until the second prince was demoted to the frontier.
Everyone can see clearly.
Emperor Ming of this sect is determined to cultivate immortality. Anyone who is an eyesore will get out of here, and the same goes for his own flesh and blood.
It is precisely because of this that even though the current emperor has not been in court for ten years, there are no courtiers to discuss or advise on this matter.
Of course, although he did not go to court, Emperor Zongming had his own cabinet, Jinyiwei and Dongchang to help handle official affairs. The three restricted each other and had no control over the temple.
Emperor Zongming was already proficient in the way of power.
As an emperor, he had already enjoyed what he should have enjoyed in the ten years when he worked hard to govern. The remaining days naturally felt mundane and tasteless, and he began to ask for immortality.
The alchemist is not a good thing, and the Dog Emperor is even less of a thing.
Lang Qingconcubine is full of snakes and rats. Just wanting to get rid of the alchemist can make Emperor Zongming work hard to cure it?
How can there be such a good thing!
Of course, this is because what Gu Dan learned in the past is different from this world, and he has no respect for the emperor in his heart, so he is able to separate things and gain insights into the key points.
But to people in this world, the emperor is the supreme existence.
How could the emperor be at fault unless he was prepared to turn into a traitor? Naturally, it can only be the alchemist who is wrong.
Mo Qiu took a deep breath, calmed down the fluctuating murderous intention, and said: "I heard about the alchemist's harm a long time ago, and when I first met him, my heart was filled with ups and downs, and the murderous intention was inevitable. Fortunately, Brother Gu persuaded me, and it almost led to a big mistake."
Above the restaurant, one person watched silently as Qing Pingzi was angry and then stared at Gu and Dan, thoughtfully.
