When Shao Yuanjie heard Zhou Mengchen say this, he was immediately delighted and said to himself: "Zhou Mengchen is dead." He looked at Emperor Jiajing and said in a seductive tone: "Mr. Zhou means? Is immortality also non-existent?"

Zhou Mengchen looked at Emperor Jiajing's face and looked a little unfair. But he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, the world still has an end, and besides, is human? Life must be dead. Eternal immortality does not exist. But it is not impossible for a person to live for hundreds of years."

Everything Zhou Mengchen said is the truth.

All of them in his heart.

From a philosophical perspective, something must have an end when it starts. It will never become. But from the perspective of life sciences, it is not impossible for people to extend their lifespan to hundreds or even thousands of years. It is just that what causes all this is the development of science, not Taoism.

After hearing this, Jiajing became interested and said, "In the intention of Mr. Zhou, what will we ask for in the way of immortality?"

Everyone knows that Jiajing is a devout Taoist believer, but this explanation may not be accurate enough. What is accurate is that Jiajing is a devout immortal. The so-called method of immortality is almost the patent of Taoist sect. Jiajing naturally has to devote himself to Taoist sect.

Jiajing was not interested in Taoism, but in all the methods of immortality.

None of the other schools has ever talked about the method of immortality.

Now Zhou Mengchen is obviously not a Taoist priest, but he seems to have a method of immortality. In Jiajing's view, the method of living for hundreds of years is already an method of immortality.

How could Jiajing not be very interested? After all, Jiajing is not a fool and may not fully believe in the Taoist method of immortality.

Zhou Mengchen said: "To be honest, I am a Taoist sect and a grandson of Zhou Gong's eleventh generation."

Although Zhou Mengchen's every word was the truth, he also had to pay attention to speaking skills. Since he wanted to break the deadlock with the way of immortality, he tried to increase the credibility of his words, which led to his ancestor who had not known many years ago.

When the Yuan and Ming dynasties were connected, Zhang Sanfeng and Zhou Dian in the Taoist sect were all famous figures.

For Jiajing, these two people were even more gods. Sure enough, when Jiajing heard Zhou Mengchen's words, he was very interested. He leaned forward slightly and said, "Oh, what else is there?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "This matter is related to our ancestors, and I dare not deceive the king and the emperor."

Jiajing also believed this and said, "I would like to tell you the way of immortality in detail."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Do your Majesty know that it is divided into three ranks?"

When Shao Yuanjie heard this sentence, he understood what Zhou Mengchen was going to say next? Because he really knew Daozang very well.

Zhou Mengchen asked and answered: "Taoist legislation, I marked Laozi above, and the gods below, and the lower ones attacked Zhang Ling."

"The so-called "Supreme Laozi" is the "Taishang Lao Zhuang", who analyzes the way of the world and the principles of the world. The one above this way."

"The so-called second-hand description of gods and immortals is not clear. It is entrusted to the theory of gods and ghosts, and the method of taking medicine to cultivate qi. It is the way to immortality? The second-hand description of this way."

"The so-called attack on Zhang Ling is to imitate the Five Doks of Rice Sect, some are Quanzhen, some are Tianshi, and some are Tianshi. People who use the way of ghosts and gods to obey fools and foolish women, are not far from the White Lotus Mani, and are inferior to those of the Tao."

Zhou Mengchen said as he looked at Shao Yuanjie, as if he said with his eyes, "Don't look, you are the ones you said."

This division method was not divided by Zhou Mengchen, but by Zhou Mengchen during this period of time.

In fact, it can also be distinguished between Taoism and Taoism. Taoism is a philosophical school, and Taoism is already a religious belief. The difference between the two is very large. The ancients also knew it.

Zhou Mengchen continued: "Anything, take the upper part and get the middle part, and take the lower part and get the lower part and get nothing."

"A foolish man and a foolish woman believe that the way of immortality cannot be obtained. But she does not know that the world is great and strange. The turtle has a thousand years of life. Why can't turtles do it? It's just that immortality is a technique. If you want to seek the art of immortality, you must first understand the principle of breeding all things. If you want to understand the principle of breeding all things, you must first seek it with the great way. Using the Tao to derive the technique, this is the correct Dharma of heaven and earth."

"As for those who seek the ultimate way of Tao and pretend to be gods and ghosts, I have never heard of it."

Jiajing nodded secretly after hearing Zhou Mengchen's words, but he just nodded secretly.

Because in theory, Zhou Mengchen's words were impeccable. But Jiajing understood even more that this was unlikely to be completed. It is difficult to find immortality? The so-called great way is easy to find?

From ancient times to the present, I don’t know how many Taoist monks have sought great powers? But what did they get? They didn’t even have immortality? Where did they get great powers?

It's just a painting cake. It's not as real as the Taoist art of immortality.

However, Jiajing was not ready to express his opinion, although he felt that what Zhou Mengchen said probably would not be able to achieve his goal. However, there were not many spare tires left, Jiajing's obsession with immortality made him not let go of any possibility.

"Your Majesty." Shao Yuanjie said, "I have a word."

At this moment, Shao Yuanjie's eyes looked at Zhou Mengchen were very different. The feeling of anger seemed to be able to emerge from his eyes.

It is not just a person who wants to die and walk with the Taoist priests.

Shao Yuanjie originally thought that this person was against His Majesty's cultivation of immortality, but this directly affected Shao Yuanjie's interests. But he never expected that he was wrong. This was here to grab the business.

This made Shao Yuanjie even more angry.

If you don’t talk about the moral integrity of the peers or grab business, you will even make a fuss. You have to ruin all the jobs of your peers so that you can show your ability and avoid being hated?

Jiajing said, "Please speak with real people."

Shao Yuanjie said: "Mr. Zhou's words are wrong. Our method of immortality was created by countless ancestors. Of course, there is a reason, and it is not something you can belittle."

Zhou Mengchen smiled softly and said, "I don't know, is the inner alchemy method or the outer alchemy technique that Shao Zhenren practiced?" Zhou Mengchen said, without waiting for Shao Yuanjie to speak, "No matter what method, I will take a little gold nature to seek immortality. The so-called: 'Gold can be made, and the river can be blocked, the immortal can be obtained, and the immortal can be brought to life."

"The techniques are ever-changing, and this is the only reason."

"Since that's the case, today I will introduce an immortal senior to Your Majesty."

The so-called golden elixir in ancient times were all the same. They felt that gold was eternal golden nature. As long as this golden nature was cultivated on people, people could live forever. First, they had external alchemy techniques, that is, practice elixirs, and after taking it, they would have golden nature.

It is precisely based on this principle that mercury is mostly found in various elixirs. After all, mercury is a flowing metal.

Metal itself has gold properties, and flowing things are generally easy to absorb. That is why there is the so-called golden elixir.

The inner alchemy method is a cultivation method formed by imitating external alchemy techniques. When external alchemy techniques are no longer possible. People feel that this kind of golden nature cannot be obtained from the outside, and can only dig from the inside of their own body, treat their body as a cauldron, and use their essence, energy and spirit as a great medicine. If they cultivate a golden elixir by themselves, they can live forever.

Of course, there are different ways to seek immortality in Taoism, but inner and outer elixirs should be one of the most widely circulated paths.

When Jiajing heard Zhou Mengchen introduce the immortal senior to him, he immediately became interested. Although he felt that Zhou Mengchen's tone was not right, he still said enthusiastically: "Who is it?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "It's it." As he said that, he took out a thumb-sized ingot of gold from his pocket.

Shao Yuanjie immediately said, "Bold Zhou Mengchen, are you bullying the emperor?"

Zhou Mengchen smiled softly and said, "Where did I deceive the emperor? According to your principles of immortality, isn't this the senior on the road to immortality?"

Shao Yuanjie said: "Where is this a living thing? It's simply nonsense?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "You know too? There must be death if there is life. Dead things have never been born, and naturally there is no death. This is also the principle of nature. If you seek the way of immortality to a dead thing, is there anything more absurd in the world than this?"

"The truth is wrong. How can the art of immortality be achieved? No wonder there is no one who has ever lived for thousands of years?"

Zhou Mengchen's words were resounding.

In an instant, the entire hall became quiet. Shao Yuanjie had nothing to say and sweated on his forehead. He had countless thoughts in his heart, but he did not dare to look at Jiajing at all.

After Zhou Mengchen finished speaking, he felt very happy at that time, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly felt cold all over. He didn't dare to look up at Jiajing's face.
