Chapter 4 The Monk
Gu Qing said: "Do you think I will live an ordinary life?"
Lu Li was choked by Gu Qing and said hilariously: "You are, haha, so interesting." He laughed for a while, and said with great interest: "Do you have any other pursuits besides asking for the world and asking the shelter? For example, being an official?"
Gu Qing said in his heart: "I have been the emperor." He has forgotten when he became the emperor, but he just remembers that there is something happening.
He shook his head.
Lu Li said: "Be a big businessman? The kind that is rich enough to rival a country."
Gu Qing continued to shake his head, but he still regarded it as a repetition.
Lu Li said: "Where is a general who commands thousands of troops?"
Gu Qing said intimately: "It seems that there was a lifetime when I brought 80,000 people to beat 800,000 people." He couldn't remember the specificity of that lifetime. It was too far away. He didn't even feel excited at that time, after all, he died not long after.
He still shook his head.
Lu Li said: "Why be a famous man or a talented man?"
Gu Qingxin said, "Whatever I ask is what I have done before."
He suddenly felt a little unrestrained. Is everything he does to repeat the past?
He still shook his head.
Lu Li said: "Do you look down on fame, wealth and power at all? Then what do you want?"
Do people have to ask for something when they live in the world?
Gu Qing felt that this was indeed the case. He said that he would ask Tian Wenshe, but it seemed that it was not his own pursuit, but A Qing's.
Because Ah Qing dreamed of having his own house and land.
He said for a while, "I want to live longer."
Lu Li did not laugh at him this time, but was stunned. After a while, she asked, "How long do you want to live?"
Gu Qing said: "The kind that is immortal."
Thinking that his health would be very poor when he was old, he felt uncomfortable, so he quickly added: "I am not old and I am not dead."
Lu Li said silently: "Do you think there is really such a thing in the world?"
Gu Qing said: "I just want to."
Lu Li said: "I don't know if I don't live long, but I don't know if I have it, but it's not impossible to live longer."
Gu Qing immediately became interested and asked, "What's the solution?"
Lu Li said: "Sleep well, eat on time, and exercise are all ways to prolong life."
Gu Qingbai glanced at her and said, "You still need to teach you this."
Lu Li smiled and said, "Then I will tell you another practical solution."
Gu Qing said: "What method?"
Lu Li said: "If you go to East Street, if you are lucky, you will meet a Taoist priest of You Fang. He will pay a high price to sell the prescription. If you are very lucky, you will buy a prescription that can prolong your life. Of course, it may also be fake."
Gu Qing said suspiciously: "Have you bought it?"
Lu Li said: "Why do you ask this?"
Gu Qing said: "If you buy it real, I can just buy it from you directly. Why do you go so far?"
Lu Li: "..."
She said for a while, "No, I also heard from you, do you want to go?"
Gu Qing said: "Then you practice calligraphy yourself, I'll go and take a look."
He didn't have the slightest awareness of being a teacher and skipped the class directly.
Lu Li was amused and envied him a little. She couldn't tell what she envied. Xiaohong appeared beside her and said, "Miss, he will know the location of this yard when he goes out."
Lu Li knocked on the maid's forehead and said, "Actually, he should know where he has been to these days."
Xiaohong said "Uh" and said, "I don't do my job carefully."
Lu Li said: "It's no big deal."
She sighed quietly, "We're leaving anyway."
Xiaohong said: "Where are the ladies, I will go wherever I go."
Lu Li smiled and said, "Don't you like Gu Qing very much? Why don't I give you to him?"
Xiaohong's head shook like a rattle, "No, I just think he looks very good, and he won't like a girl like me."
Lu Li said: "Silly kid, you are not bad either. But Gu Qing is indeed not someone worthy of the girl's family's entrusting. It would be better for you to follow me."
Xiaohong said: "Why do the lady say that to him?"
Lu Li said: "He is a little cold, not the kind of coldness that protects himself, but like a cat."
She said and giggled, as if she had thought of something interesting.
Xiaohong was a little confused.
…
…
Walking through the crowded streets, crossing the bridge, throwing the flowing water behind you, hawking, the aroma of snacks, and the smell of various spices form the bustling East Street.
Jiangcheng is a very lively place.
This is a transportation hub with convenient water conservancy, and there are countless people coming and going every day. Gu Qing walked around for a long time but didn't see the Taoist priest Lu Li said.
He was a little hungry, so he walked into a restaurant. Now he has a lot of money in his pocket and doesn’t need to order fennel beans. Speaking of which, he has no place to spend money on food and accommodation recently.
Seeing that Gu Qing was dressed in an ordinary manner, the waiter asked indifferent interest: "Where is the guest sitting?"
Gu Qing said: "Lobby."
The waiter was even less interested, and he said, "What do you want to eat?"
Gu Qing said: "A serving of the signature dishes."
The waiter couldn't believe it, so Gu Qing took out a ingot of silver.
The waiter suddenly became attentive.
He was busy applying the table and bench for Gu Qing, and then went to the kitchen to set up the menu. Gu Qing just smiled, not angry, but felt that money was indeed very charming.
After a while, the dishes were served, and they were all very exquisite dishes, such as lotus pod tofu, small lotus dew, spicy shredded belly, mushrooms and hairy vegetables, raw roasted roe meat, and milk fish fillets.
It would be fine if he ate in the private room, but it was really conspicuous in the hall.
Gu Qing didn't care much about the eyes of others and ate it with relish. He planned to pack a few snacks later and take them back for Xiaohong to taste. After all, the clothes he wore were given by Xiaohong, so he had two sets of clothes.
If he couldn't find the Taoist priest, of course he would not go back to the yard where he taught Lu Li's calligraphy before, but the residence by the river.
Lu Li should have known that he could remember the roads in those yards. Gu Qing used his brains a little and guessed that Lu Li was leaving, so he didn't care about the leaking of the locations of those yards.
If he is afraid of trouble, he should hide from Lu Li.
Gu Qing was born not caring about these things.
Anyone who has experience like that will have different thinking than ordinary people.
While trying to eliminate the food, a loud sound echoed in the hall.
"Waiter, give the sheep's house a pot of wine." A burly and strong monk walked into the gate.
This is a wine and meat monk, and the guests made a judgment in their hearts.
The waiter saw that he was not easy to provoke, so he came over to receive the reception carefully and asked, "What kind of wine does the master want to drink? Do you want to order food?"
The monk sat on the empty table next to Gu Qing, looked at Gu Qing's dishes, and said, "See this husband's one."
The waiter responded in embarrassment. He saw that the monk was a little fierce, for fear that he would eat for nothing.
The monk took out a piece of golden leaf and said, "Take it, it's not enough, I'll give it to you."
When he saw Jin Yezi, the waiter finally felt relieved.
After a while, the waiter brought the wine. The monk took a sip when suddenly the guests in the hall made a surprise sound, which was noisy for a moment.
Gu Qing was slightly shocked. He looked at the door and a big bell was held in his hand by a Taoist priest, and the threshold was shattered by the Taoist.
