Chapter 966: The Legend of Peng Zu

How is it possible to have such a prescription on Earth today? I've read too many fantasy novels!

However, Chen Duan knew that these prescriptions were true, and although he had never tried them, he seemed to have looked through the ancient books in the secret realm in his memory, which recorded so many rumors.

For example, Peng Zu, the longest-lived person in history, said in the record that Peng Zu once got a prescription, which is a longevity thing, and later was fortunate to get the medicinal materials on the prescription, so he asked his friend Chen Tuan Lao Zu to help him refine the longevity medicine.

After taking it, he found that his body functions seemed to be consolidated, and this consolidation was not an ordinary reinforcement, but a real retention of his body functions, not allowing them to function and consume, but he was able to live like a normal person.

But this is just one of the small records, many people are not believed, and they don't even care, people believe in another statement, saying that Peng Zu is indifferent, in addition to good food and wine, but also likes to refine qi, it is rumored that among the people of later generations, he is the only one who has figured out the real method of refining qi, which can live so long, and finally found Penglai Xiandao, married hundreds of wives, and cultivated every day, well, his qi refining method is "yin and yang" double "cultivation".

When it comes to Peng Zu, it is impossible not to mention how he died.

There is such a small story that says that Peng Zu and Chen Tuan Ancestor are both in charge of affairs by the side of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Palace.

One is in charge of the book of life and death of the gods, and the other is in charge of the book of merit. One day, Chen Tuan said to Peng Zu: "I am overworked and want to sleep well." If something is important, you wake me up. ”

Peng Zu replied: "Okay, you can go to sleep with confidence!" As soon as Peng Zu saw Chen Shu go to sleep, he wanted to take this opportunity to go to the mortal world to play.

One day, he changed the list of life and death books on behalf of Chen Kuan, and found that his name was also on it. Peng Zu thought for a while: It's not good, if I go to the mortal world and am discovered by the Jade Emperor, I will quickly send someone to recall me.

He had an idea, tore off the page with the name of "Peng Zu" written on it in the book of life and death, twisted it into a paper rope and bound it to the book, and from then on, Peng Zu's name could no longer be found in this book of life and death, so he went down to earth with confidence.

Peng Zu lived in the world and became a doctor of the Shang Dynasty. He married forty-nine wives and gave birth to fifty-four sons, all of whom died of old age one by one, while Peng Zu was still young and strong, and his actions were free. When he married the fiftieth wife, he resigned and traveled around the mountains and scenery until the fiftieth wife became an old woman from the yellow flower girl of the year, and then settled in a small mountain village in Yijun County. At this time, Peng Zu was 800 years old.

One night, while the couple was sleeping in bed, his wife asked him, "I am a dying man, will you marry another wife after I die?"

Peng Zu didn't mind and said: "Of course, I have to marry, otherwise who will accompany me!" ”

The wife asked, "Why don't you grow old all the time?" Isn't your name in the book of life and death? ”

Peng Zu laughed: "I will never die!" I have my name in the book of life and death, and they just can't find it. ”

The wife then asked, "And where is your name?"

Peng Zu proudly told the truth for a while. Only then did his wife understand the mystery of Peng Zu's immortality.

After the death of this wife, she took off her mortal body and returned to the Heavenly Palace, where she told the Jade Emperor about it. After hearing this, the Jade Emperor suddenly realized, and ordered the god to hurry up and call Chen Tuan Ancestor. Who knew that Chen Jian hadn't woken up at this time, so the Jade Emperor had to send two other gods to go down to find Peng Zu.

Due to the age, the sent god did not recognize Peng Zu at all, and he searched for a long time but did not hear from him. These two messengers didn't dare to return to the Heavenly Palace easily, so they had to run around the world and ask questions.

One day, the two messengers came to Peng Village, Yijun County, and took the opportunity of the carpenter to eat, stole the big saw that unraveled the board, and sawed a lot of wood on the wheat field, which attracted many villagers to look around. At this time, Peng Zu also came to watch. People gossiped and discussed, and Peng Zu also took the opportunity to ridicule because of his advanced age and extensive experience: "I, Peng Zu, have lived for 800 years, and I have never seen anyone sawing it." ”

As soon as the words fell, the two messengers threw the saw and locked Peng Zu on the spot. That night, Peng Zu died at the age of more than 800.

"Huh! Real blood ginseng! Chen Dui's eyes lit up as he walked to a stall.

Blood ginseng, also known as salvia, was often used by Fangshi for alchemy in ancient times, is a perennial herb, 30 to 80 cm high, the whole plant is densely covered with yellow-white 'soft' hairs and glandular hairs.

The root of the blood ginseng in front of him is slender and cylindrical, and the skin is vermilion. The outer bark of the old roots is loose, mostly purple-brown, and often flaking off in the form of scales. Hard and brittle, loose in section, with fissures or slightly flat and dense, brownish-red skin, grayish-yellow or purple-brown wood, yellowish-white ducts, radially arranged.

It is different from the fake blood ginseng that Chen Du saw before, or rather, it is similar in appearance, but some details that are easy to be overlooked are completely different.

It is difficult for ordinary people to identify, but Chen Dui has an extraordinary memory, and he has a natural sense of identification of drugs, just by smelling the smell, he can know the authenticity of drugs.

What's more, Chen Duan was fortunate to sing blood ginseng at the beginning, and the taste of blood ginseng was slightly bitter.

Generally, the flowering period is 5 to 8 months, and the fruiting period is 8 to 9 months.

But these are domestic, and they can't be compared to wild blood ginseng at all, let alone the old age. Due to the excessive mining of wild blood ginseng for many years, the resources have been on the verge of extinction, even in the secret realm, blood ginseng is rare.

"Boy, what's your eye?" The stall owner was an old man, wearing a padded jacket, and wrapped himself tightly.

Although it is a bit nondescript to dress up like this in the summer, it is very common here to dress up like an old man, even if a man pretends to be a woman, it is not unusual, this is actually a means of blurring the impression, and it is not easy for people to remember the appearance of the stall owner at one time.

After all, it is a black market, there are real and fake goods in it, and most of them are fakes, in order to avoid trouble, these stall owners will use any method.

Although there are also rules in the black market, whether buyers or sellers, who can only consider themselves unlucky, they must be careful in everything, and they can't do anything in the black market, and there is no such rule after they go out.

"How much money does this delicate grass cost?" Chen Du asked, pointing to a three-color herb in the most conspicuous position.

At the same time as the questioning, Chen Du had already released his spiritual power, and his traceability ability was also opened at the same time.

Although he was resistant to using this ability deep in his heart, and felt that he couldn't use this ability much, but now that Chen Duan couldn't manage it so much, he had to get his hands on this wild hundred-year-old blood ginseng!

Chen Dui's purpose in getting it was actually because of the need for a prescription, and that prescription was actually to help people get through various contexts, so that ordinary people could practice martial arts, and even improve their talents!
