Chapter 43 The Prince Invites
"Hahaha, I just said that it would be okay to leave this troublesome matter to the Qingdu Taoist master..."
Even though Li Taibai was in Chang'an City, he had heard about what it was like before viewing the Qingdu in Zhongnan Mountain.
You know, just because he looks a few years younger, the fat and pink barrier in Chang'an City has almost made him dizzy. You can imagine what the situation is like here in Zhongnan Mountain.
Fortunately, he drank every sip and pushed all the things he needed to say to Zhou Qingdu, otherwise he might still be unable to escape.
I don’t know which girl will invite me to drink and taste tea.
Because of this incident, he was ridiculed by several friends around him. After drinking all the powder and wine in Chang'an City, he was the most romantic drunkard in the world.
This made Li Taibai feel aggrieved a lot. He was such an innocent person, but he never meant to be tainted with these flowers and plants. The women he fell in love with all married home.
Although I did get drunk at the Hualou Pavilion, it was purely for socializing and drinking, and I went directly to the hall to get makeup and powder. That was absolutely not the case.
On the other hand, Du Zimei looks very nervous. He is already a frequent visitor to the brothel, and he is also a restless guy.
After communicating with many young ladies from high-ranking aristocrats in Chang'an City, I have made a covenant with someone who is like-minded, and I plan to pay a betrothal gift to marry her after she finishes high school in the imperial examination.
I heard that she is the daughter of Sinong Shaoqing Yang Yi. In fact, her family status is not high, but she only fell in love with Du Zimei. It is a strange and beautiful thing.
At this time, Du Zimei, who had found her lover, seemed to be a little more at ease. When she heard her brother Taibai's words, she couldn't help but wipe her mouth.
"Brother Taibai, you should wait and see how you can deal with the Qingdu Taoist master's methods."
"As far as I can see, the Taoist master is not a very ambitious person."
Hearing the two people around him discussing the young Taoist priest who was now famous in the palace, He Zhizhang listened thoughtfully. He specifically requested that they bring him here this time.
On the one hand, I want to meet this person who has unknowingly made Chang'an City very lively. On the other hand, he is not young anymore, so he naturally wants to stay young and prolong his life.
There's nothing bad to say about this, I just don't know if I can get what I want...
...
Even though Zhou Qingdu has made an agreement to go to the village at the foot of the mountain to give a lecture in three days, there are still a lot of servants left here.
It's just that it's not as dense as before. The most important thing is that after seeing the invitation from the saint, Zhou Qing didn't serve as an official, and obviously he wouldn't enter the officialdom. However, not entering the officialdom doesn't mean that he can't become a guest of many aristocratic families.
There are many similar practitioners among these high-ranking people.
Most of the servants left behind now have orders from their masters and want to invite Zhou Qingdu to join them.
Not to mention anything else, having such an everlasting ability to extend life is already attractive enough.
"It's a pity that the Qingdu Taoist Master has no interest in these people at all."
He did not walk directly towards the front of the Taoist temple, but walked along the rugged mountain road that they would follow later. Li Du took He Zhizhang on a mountain tour, but at He Zhizhang's current age, he did not
Being able to walk vigorously was a bit surprising to the two of them.
Originally, they had already prepared the idea of climbing up with this Hegongbu on his back. As a result, although they were not as relaxed and comfortable as they were when they entered the initial stage of foundation building, they only breathed slightly and did not have much.
Tired.
It is obvious that this person who appreciates their talents and makes friends with them is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
At least at this age, he is still very energetic, which is no longer like ordinary people.
At this time, they looked at the crowd waiting under the mountain wall from a distance. While the three of them took a break, they also had a sense of fun watching other people's jokes.
"The more I listen to the words of these two wise brothers, the more curious I become about the demeanor of such a real person."
He Zhizhang was also a little surprised. He had seen many young geniuses, and there was one who was extremely brilliant. He also admired immortality, but that one was different. He also cared about his family, country and the world.
And although that person is a genius, he still needs to learn. Unlike what Li and Du described, Zhou Qingdu seems to be a real immortal who has come to this world, not only knowing what he is born with, but also having the ability to know beforehand.
"I will definitely not disappoint Brother He!"
Li Taibai stroked his long beard contentedly, but he rarely carried a backpack on his back with many wine jars in it. Apparently he had learned from the previous lesson that there was no wine in Zhou Qingdu, so he wanted to bring it with him this time.
You can enjoy some of the fine wines in Chang'an City there.
To a certain extent, his trust in Zhou Qingdu is simply higher than that of himself.
Especially after what happened during this period of time, he clearly realized that if he had not met this Taoist master, it would be extremely difficult for him to truly become a member of Chang'an City.

This time he finally saw clearly what these dignitaries in Chang'an City looked like.
It’s nothing more than the word ‘profit’ at the head.
The so-called etiquette and rules, noble blood, etc. are all deceptive things.
At first, he went to Chang'an City several times to write poems, but it was difficult for anyone to appreciate him. It was not until he became the son-in-law of the former prime minister that some people were willing to take a look at his poems and essays, and they also made some criticisms.
Later, he traveled around the world, met and interacted with the famous scholar Meng Haoran, and was praised and appreciated by him. He gained some modest literary fame in the world. These powerful people also treated these powerful people as pure guests because he was a merchant and had no hope of taking the imperial examination.

It wasn't until I met He Zhizhang not long ago and was recommended to Princess Yuzhen that I finally became a guest of these powerful people, but that's all.
Even if he is recommended by Princess Yuzhen who has the blood of the clan, in the eyes of most high-ranking officials, Li Bai is just a scholar who is good at writing. He can get a literary name, but the rest is of little use.
It wasn't until he succeeded in building the foundation that he truly showed his evergreen abilities and the possibility of extending his life, and the invitations and thirst for talent from those high-ranking officials truly manifested themselves.
Even secretly, more than one prince had invited him, ready to inquire about the secret of his moon refining method.
Only then did he understand how insignificant his talent, which he believed to be unparalleled in the world, was in the eyes of these powerful people.
It's so insignificant that it can't compare to a technique that can make you stay youthful and prolong your life...
'Ha...'
‘No wonder the Taoist masters said time and again that I, Li Bai, am no better than burning a fire stick when it comes to governing the country.’
‘It’s really good, not bad!’
