Chapter 3264 Persuasion

Zhou Man: "We're here to have fun."

Daoxu was surprised, "So free?"

He was very suspicious, "I thought you were very busy. The lay people who have come to offer incense in the past few days all said that the master from Tianzhu met you, and he was afraid that he would be unlucky. Shouldn't you be busy fighting at the moment? You are still...

Let’s go to the Taoist temple to play when we have time.”

Zhou Man: "You know a lot."

"That's natural. I've been hanging around here for a while anyway."

Zhou Man declared with a serious face: "There is no fighting, we are a cooperative relationship, everything is for His Majesty."

Daoxu had a look of disbelief on his face, while Daohe's face didn't change much, and he nodded gently. He and Zhou Man only reminisced about old times, and occasionally talked about the landscape and customs they had seen in the places they had traveled over the years.

It was not until noon that Zhou Man went to see Master Zhang, and he said: "My junior brother and I are temporarily staying in Xuandu Temple to practice. If anyone needs our help, you can ask someone to come to us."

Zhou Man smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

Dao He smiled, pulled Dao Xu and left.

Mingda looked at Dao and his leaving figure thoughtfully, "If my father wants to practice Taoism, it would be a good idea to invite this little Taoist priest to the palace to discuss Taoism. It would be better than indulging in the illusion of immortality."

Zhou Man: "This is different. It's because of the timing. If His Majesty hadn't been ill..." She paused at this point and said nothing more.

A few years ago, the emperor also sneered at this, but he has been in poor health in the past two years. Human beings are like this. When you ask for something, you will have doubts.

The emperor's original intention was not to seek enlightenment, but to live longer.

Mingda said no more.

In the afternoon, while Bai Ruoyu's child was still taking a nap in the wing room, Zhou Man took Ming Da and Bai Er to see Master Zhang.

Master Zhang greeted him at the entrance of the hospital, and there was no trace of him being in retreat before.

Mingda glanced at Zhang Zhenren's face, lowered his voice and asked: "Is this what you said about being over sixty?"

Although Zhang Zhenren's beard is gray and the hair on the temples is also mixed with black and white, he does not look like a person over sixty at all. He looks about the same as her father, or even younger than her father.

Zhou Man then counted with his fingers and lowered his voice and said: "Next year will be the 70s."

Ming Da was surprised, and Bai Erlang whispered to the side: "Taoist priests who know how to maintain good health live longer and look younger than ordinary people. Master Zhang can also make alchemy. Man Bao and I have both seen it."

Zhang Zhenren, who was still relatively sharp, kept a smile and stood at the entrance of the courtyard, waiting for them to slowly move over.

After finishing the small talk, Zhou Man quickened his pace and led Mingda forward, "I haven't seen you for many years, Master Zhang is still so energetic."

Master Zhang smiled and saluted and said: "Master Zhou has grown up a lot. I am a poor man who meets the princess and the prince-in-law."

Knowing that they had something to talk about, Taoist Master Yu served the tea and then left without disturbing them.

After the rest of the gang left, Zhou Man conspired with Master Zhang. Oh, no, it was Xiao Zhi's persuasion with reason and emotion.

Zhang Zhenren almost choked on his own saliva, "What? You want me to make elixirs?"

He immediately refused, "No, no, Mr. Zhou, you know me. The elixirs I make are only for treating some minor illnesses, and they are all maintenance medicines. They don't have much effect."

If he wanted to make elixirs, he would have participated when Changsheng Temple and Cui Shangshu came to ask them to participate. He just didn't want to wade into this muddy water, so he wanted to write to Zhou Man and ask her to come back.

Although the letter was not sent, but...

He never expected that Zhou Man would ask him to make elixirs after returning to Beijing.

Zhou Man was so busy that he said, "I am not making elixirs for Your Majesty, but for Princess Mingda."

She lowered her voice and said: "No matter what kind of elixir is produced, it will be useful to the princess. Xuanduguan can use this reputation to overpower Naluo Er."

"As far as I know, Naluo'er went to the palace to refine elixirs for His Majesty, and Xuanduguan twice refused the invitation of Changsheng Temple to refine elixirs. Now his reputation among the people has dropped sharply, and he is even criticized among Taoists. Doesn't the master of the temple not want to redeem himself?

?”

Zhang Zhenren said with a serious face: "My Xuandu Temple pursues the Taoist mind, and cultivation means asking the mind. It is not the Danding sect. Mr. Zhou hired the wrong person."

"Oh, this is not a conflict. It is just a cooperation for a while, and the time is not long. When we get what we want, the cooperation will end. If Master Zhang does not want to become too famous on the road to alchemy, he can end the alchemy after that."

Master Zhang couldn't help but look at her, "What do Master Zhou and Princess want?"

Zhou Man lowered his voice and said, "That's Luo Er's blood."

Master Zhang looked at her with a look of horror. Zhou Man said quickly: "Don't worry, it's not much. Just let him bleed a little. A bowl is enough. I wouldn't mind half a bowl."

Zhang Zhenren then remembered the two hundred lifespan claimed by the Zhu monk that day. He thought for a moment and asked: "Did Lord Zhou want this blood himself, or did His Majesty..."

Zhou Man was about to answer, but Mingda already said quickly: "It's what I want."

She smiled slightly and said: "Na Luo You claims to have lived two hundred years, but I don't believe it, so I want to take his blood to see if he really lived two hundred years."

Although Mr. Zhang doesn’t know how to tell age from blood, shouldn’t age be measured by touching the bones and feeling the pulse?

But thinking that Zhou Man was a doctor, she must know more than him in this regard, so she thought deeply, "That elixir..."

Zhou Man said: "When the time comes, Master Zhang can just make a batch of elixirs for calming down and nourishing the body. The princess will definitely agree."

Mr. Zhang is very embarrassed. This matter may not be serious, but it is not trivial either. Once it gets serious, it will cause serious harm.

After a while, Master Zhang said: "I have to think about this matter, and I can't give the princess an answer yet."

Mingda nodded and said, "I'm waiting for Master Zhang's reply at the princess's residence."

Master Zhang looked at Zhou Man, and Zhou Man winked at Ming Da and Bai Er, and they left first.

When there were only two people left in the room, Master Zhang felt more relaxed. He sighed: "Master Zhou, aren't you putting me, Xuandu Temple, on the fire?"

Zhou Man didn't think so, "As long as you retreat in time, it's a win-win situation. Because you refused to make alchemy twice, Xuandu Guan's reputation is now far less than before. Why don't you seize this opportunity?"

"You are an imperial physician. Can't you just check his pulse and touch his bones? You don't need much blood, so it shouldn't be difficult to get it, right?"

"It's just very difficult," Zhou Man spread his hands and said, "I asked him, but he wouldn't even ask for blood, not to mention touching the bones for blood."

Zhang Zhenren hinted: "Your Majesty's holy words..."

Zhou Man shook his head, "Although many civil and military officials do not like this eminent monk, he has indeed not done anything bad that would damage his reputation since he entered the capital. On the contrary, he has a good reputation among ordinary people. The Jin Dynasty is a big country, and your Majesty is

It is impossible for the Khan of Heaven to force him."

Zhang Zhenren: "...then aren't we engaging in persecution now?"

"We are us, and His Majesty is Your Majesty," Zhou Man said: "We are all small people, we don't have much reputation, and the princess doesn't mind, so what do we mind?"

Zhang Zhenren said angrily: "You have nothing to do with this matter, of course you don't mind."

Xuanduguan and the princess are the ones at the forefront of this plan, okay?
