ps: I still have no recommendations next week, so I can only rely on everyone. Please support me with monthly tickets!!!

Qi Xiang also expressed his understanding of Ge Bao's hesitation. If it were him, he would probably be confused.

After all, people are self-interested and like to enjoy all the beautiful things in the world.

If it is just an ordinary thing, you can consider sharing it with others. But if you don’t want to share it with others, you may not want to tell others about it, so as not to make people think about it.

This is human nature, nothing wrong.

So Qi Xiang was very patient and continued to boil water, make tea, and pour it on his own.

After a while, Ge Bao looked up, but talked about things that had nothing to do with the Dharma Lotus: "You just said it right, I did dig the incomplete part of the painting."

"...Why?" Qi Xiang asked with the flow, and he was quite curious. After all, a good painting cut a part of it destroyed its integrity.

The price of incomplete paintings must be much different, four or five million.

Ge Bao hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Because the words on the drawing reveal some secrets, I don't want too many people to know about it, so I destroyed it."

"Confidential?" Qi Xiang was shocked and stunned: "No, what secret can Xu Wei's painting have?"

"Look, you don't even know, what is it not a secret?" Ge Bao's expression was mysterious, with a slightly complacent smile: "I'm sure that there are no more people in the world who know this secret."

Qi Xiang frowned slightly and stretched gently: "What is the secret that makes you care so much?"

"What I care about is not the secret, but the benefits contained in the secret." Ge Bao said bluntly: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have nothing to do when I'm full and ruined any paintings."

"What are the benefits of this secret?" Qi Xiang asked again.

"Hehe." Ge hugged and asked back, "How much do you know about Xu Wenchang?"

"...it should be quite a lot." Qi Xiang pondered: "Home, calligrapher, painter, military strategist, lyricist, one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, was a talented man. He failed many times and served as a staff member of Hu Zongxian, and was in trouble. Later, he committed suicide nine times and died. He killed his wife in middle age and was imprisoned for seven years. He was poor last night. He was very sad..."

"Those are superficial experiences." Ge Bao chuckled: "Overyone can only pay attention to appearances. Can't you see through superficial phenomena? "

"Essence?" Qi Xiang was stunned, thinking about it. After a moment of serious thought, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared: "He called himself Qingteng Taoist. He should also be a sermon. However... the social atmosphere at that time was like this... nothing special is right."

Xu Wei was born in the 16th year of Zhengde. He spent all his youth and middle-aged years during the Jiajing period.

However, Emperor Jiajing was a famous Taoist emperor. He believed in Taoism the most in his life. He had some preferences, and officials and ministers below, including scholars, must follow them or not.

Therefore, during the Jiajing period, many Qing Ci prime ministers and Taoist Hanlin were produced.

The so-called green poem, also known as green chapters, is a memorial and congratulations dedicated to God during the Taoist rituals. It is generally in parallel style and written on green vine paper with red pigments, which requires neat forms and gorgeous words.

The famous treacherous minister Yan Song was well-written and got the eyes of Emperor Jiajing because of his good writing of Qing Ci, and then he was promoted to the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

This was the social atmosphere at that time, and Xu Wei was definitely not immune to the common people. During his tenure as Hu Zongxian's aide, Hu Zongxian captured white deer in Zhoushan. He even personally wrote several articles on the Qingci "Entering the White Deer Table", which was praised by the emperor.

This is the background of the entire era, so Xu Wei could not deviate from the environment at that time. Coupled with his various tragic experiences at that time, it is natural to believe in Taoism and seek spiritual comfort.

"No, no, different."

Ge Bao shook his head: "The scholars at that time believed in the most, but Xu Wenchang was different. He should have true faith. If you think about it carefully, you will know that when he committed suicide, his method... tsk, how cruel!"

When Qi Xiang heard this, his eyes immediately condensed.

According to historical records, after Yan Song fell, Hu Zongxian was also arrested and imprisoned, and his staff was disbanded.

At that time, Xu Wei's name was outside, and Li Chunfang, the Minister of Rites, recruited him, hoping that he would help him write Qing Ci to please Emperor Jiajing. However, Xu Wei did not agree and was naturally threatened.

Everything went wrong, and he went crazy and committed suicide many times.

The suicide scene is extremely tragic.

First, he hit his head with a sharp axe, and the blood flowed from the quilt and broke his skull. Fortunately, he did not die.

Once again, he was possessed by ghosts and gods. He stabbed his left ear several inches with a three-inch-long pillar nail, then hit the ground with his head and knocked the iron nail into his ear, without any pain and death.

Later, he used a vertebra to smash his kidney sac, but he still did not die.

These cruel and extreme suicide methods are far from what ordinary people can imagine.

When Qi Xiang saw these records before, he lamented that a talented man like Xu Wenchang was so miserable under the pressure of the evil feudal society.

But now, the more he thinks, the more he feels something is wrong. Why does this kind of self-harm look like...

"How is it, I thought of it?" Ge Bao smiled lightly, "Do you think that the scene is very similar to practicing the left-handed martial arts, which leads to the growing number of demonic thoughts, so he repeatedly harmed himself?"

"Like..." Qi Xiang's expression was strange: "It's very similar...but it's just like it, and it can't be explained. It must be. Unless... do you have evidence?"

"Of course there is evidence." Ge Bao nodded: "Otherwise, I won't come to you."

"What evidence?" Qi Xiang asked hurriedly.

"The evidence is not in my hands." Ge Bao said angrily: "In the hands of another person, what I have to do now is to take down the evidence in his hands."

"Hmm?" Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

When Ge Bao looked at it, he immediately pointed at the sky and said, "Really, I didn't lie to you. Besides, I lie to you, there is no benefit in this matter. Why waste this time?"

Qi Xiang thought about it and agreed quite well. Even if Xu Wei is a cultivator, so what? It has nothing to do with him. Besides, even Xu Xiake can be an explorer of the secret realm of immortal spirits, so what can Xu Wenchang be a cultivator?

Moreover, Qi Xiang can also infer that Xu Wei, a monk, was very failed and even worse than him. He was so sad that he ended up miserably.

After experiencing many strange things, Qi Xiang has become very calm now, and has a kind of unstoppable and unstoppable manner. She watches the flowers bloom and fall in front of the courtyard; she is unintentional to stay and leave, and she looks at the sky with a transcendent state of mind.

One day someone told him that there were many famous figures in ancient times, who were actually cultivators. He said at most, so he didn't care.

“So what…”

Qi Xiang calmed down and said in confusion: "Then you come to me, what do you want to do?"

"Didn't you say that? I'll ask if you will be granted the charity?"

Ge Bao finally solved the mystery: "After Xu Wenchang killed his wife, he was imprisoned for seven years. During these seven years, he was not idle and completed the commentary of "Zhou Yishen Tongqi" in prison."

"That book "Zhouyi Chantongqi" is the best evidence for his practice of Taoism. Now the original manuscript is in the hands of a person. I want it, but that person put forward a condition."

Ge Bao's expression was not very good-looking, as if the other party's conditions were too excessive.

Before Qi Xiang could be surprised, she said casually: "Give me a talisman?"

"Yes." Ge Bao gritted his teeth: "I also know what kind of nerves that guy was. He actually asked me to help him successfully teach the talisman, so he agreed to give me the book "Zhou Yisan Tongqi"."

"Zhou Yisan Tongqi..."

At this time, Qi Xiang's attention was focused on this keyword.

He naturally knew very well what Zhou Yisan Tongqi was. This is a elixir, the ancestor of the elixir, and is known as the king of the elixir for all ages. It can be said that this elixir is the origin of the elixir thought.

Neither the external or internal elixirs can be avoided.

However, this book is also recognized by the world that the rhymes are both ancient and difficult to understand. It adopts the method of symbolism or metaphor, and uses many implicit words, which are easy to misunderstand and have many differences, so many comments have been made in the past dynasties.

Famous Taoist priests and literati from all dynasties also made comments on Zhou Yisan Tongqi, each with its own understanding and many of them brought private goods. This way, the controversy became even greater.

In the library of Mr. Hai and others, Qi Xiang saw that there were no less than hundreds of comments on Zhou Yisan Tongqi, which made him dazzled and didn't want to take a look at it.

However, among those hundreds of comments, there seems to be no version of Xu Wenchang's comment.

Qi Xiang thought: "What is special about the Zhou Yisan Tongqi commented by Xu Wei?"

"This has nothing to do with you." Ge Bao waved his hand and said, "I want things, you can't covet them."

"Uh..." Qi Xiang stopped and asked again, "What about me, what are the benefits?"

"Of course you have benefits." Ge Bao said frankly: "You forgot that it is the magic talisman map I provided. If you successfully comprehend it, it will be a benefit for life. Then, you go and teach that person the talisman, and he will give me the Zhouyi Cong and Confidence, so that everyone will win."

"I understand..." Qi Xiang nodded.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for all this, that is, he can successfully award the talisman. If he cannot do this, no matter how many follow-ups are, they will be empty and have no meaning.

At this time, Qi Xiang frowned and said, "The problem is that I am not sure. Even if I read the magic talisman map, I may not be able to succeed. If it fails, wouldn't you lose?"

"Yes, so I'm hesitating." Ge Bao held his cheek and said, "Are you going to have a gamble or find someone else..."

"Then think about it slowly." Qi Xiang didn't care. Anyway, the way of talismans that had been descended from Shuiyue Sanren was enough for him to study for a long time, and he didn't need to learn new talismans.
