Chapter 451 Longevity Village

"Strange things? What's weird? I asked.

"Minister Yuan, I think you may have to go and see the fortune, why can't we catch up with the good things in our bureau recently, and all the strange things that come are coming?" Dazhe said.

"Then you can introduce me to a reliable master and give me a good look." Yuan Ru said, "No kidding, let's get down to business, have you ever heard of this place in Bayun Village?" Yuan Ru asked.

"Bayun Village? It's a familiar name. Yun Xian said.

"Isn't that the famous longevity village?" I asked.

I have indeed heard of this Bayun village before, it is located in Baxia County, Guangxi Province, is a very famous tourist mecca, but its more famous place is the name of longevity, it is known as the "hometown of longevity in the world, Chinese Rui Holy Land", belongs to the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, mainly inhabited by 12 ethnic groups such as Yao, Zhuang, Han and so on. Baxia this place, the terrain is high in the northwest, low in the southeast, there are many mountains in the territory and little land, known as "eight mountains, one water and one field", the land is very precious. In the second to fifth national censuses, Baxia County ranked first among the five longevity regions in the world in terms of the proportion of birthday stars over 100 years old in the population. According to newspaper reports, at the time of the fifth census in 2000, there were more than 500 people over the age of 90 in Baxia County. Up to now, the number of long-lived elderly people in the age group of 90 has increased to more than 800, making it the area with the highest density of long-lived elderly in China. The relationship between Baxia County and Shou has been spread hundreds of years ago. Emperor Guangxu once had a royal pen plaque "only benevolent longevity", this imperial pen plaque is stored in the longevity museum in the county.

"There are so many long-lived people in this Baxia County. It's become a big miracle, is there good feng shui for them? Dazhe asked.

According to the Baxia county government, the external environmental factors that contribute to the longevity of Baxia are geomagnetism, air, water, sunlight, and food. These five factors correspond to the five elements of yin and yang in ancient geography, namely metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. There is a fault zone in the Ba Gorge that cuts directly through the Earth's mantle layer, resulting in geomagnetic enhancement. This fault zone is under the Panyang River, which divides the Ba Gorge into two, and there is scientific research: people live in a proper geomagnetic field environment and have good physical development. The blood is clean and circulates well. The incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease is low, the body's immunity is high, and it can coordinate brain electromagnetic waves and improve people's sleep quality. So it's very long-lived. And this Bayun village. It is the village with the most long-lived elderly people. It has been reported on television many times. Yun Ximing said.

"I said, Brother Gongzi, is there anything you don't know?" Dazhe said.

"I know a lot. It's because I'm very knowledgeable, and you don't read books or newspapers, what can you know? Yun Ximing said.

"What Xi Ming said is just the official statement, in fact, the country has not very clearly understood the secret of the longevity of this county, especially Bayun Village, and there are only a few guesses." Yuan Ru said.

"Guess? Let's hear it. I said.

"The first type, and the one with the highest degree of recognition, is the theory of the five elements that Xi Ming just said. The five material attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are customarily called the five elements, and the theory of the five elements is the same as the theory of yin and yang, and its core content is the dialectical relationship between these five substances. Jin corresponds to the stones of Bayun, that is, geomagnetic and magnetite stones, and the representative properties are the geomagnetic fields exposed under the fault zone. The plants of the wood corresponding to Bayun mainly refer to minerals, manganese, zinc trace elements, and the representative products are hemp and resurrection grass. The water corresponds to the rivers of Bayun, and the water here is small molecule water, weak alkaline water, and has a low redox potential, which is different from other places. The fire corresponds to the sunlight of Ba Yun, mainly abundant sunlight and far infrared rays. The soil corresponds to the land of Bayun, and the representative product is the white mud, which is a specialty here. However, the five elements only said that although it is the most likely, scientists also said that this is not entirely the credit of the five elements, and the environment will have an impact on people's lifespan, but it is difficult to have such a big impact, so it is an exaggeration to blame the secret of longevity entirely on the five elements. Yuan Ru said.

"What else?" I asked.

In addition, there are several claims, or doubts, that have yet to be confirmed. One is said to be because of the Crystal Palace, a famous attraction in Baxia County, the entrance to the cave is located on the slope of a cluster of karst peaks, about 150 meters above the modern erosion surface. The stalactites in the Crystal Palace have gravitational water to take advantage of the opportunity to get tired of goose tubes, stalactites, stalagmites, stone pillars, stone belts, stone flags and all kinds of stone curtains, stone waterfalls, stone shields, non-gravity crystal sedimentary stone hair, curly stones, stone flowers and so on, the form is colorful and colorful, snow white and pure, exquisitely clear, set the world's art treasures in a hole, and is growing, very ornamental value and scientific exploration value. But what is even more surprising is that the content of negative oxygen ions in the air here is very high, reaching 36,000-70,000 per cubic centimeter, which is 5-10 times that of the outside of the cave. Therefore, some people speculate that the air here affects the surroundings and covers Baxia County radially, which leads to longevity. There is also a saying that it is because of a local specialty of the divine liquor, mainly using precious deer antler, ginseng, cistanche, yellow essence, angelica, cordyceps, obscene yang weed and other Chinese medicinal materials, with low-alcohol pure rice wine through carefully brewed health wine, especially for the removal of age spots and aphrodisiac kidney has a significant effect. After a long time of soaking and the vitality of the wine, the Three Snake Clam Wine uses wild clams, gold and silver snakes, cobras and precious Chinese herbs, and releases deep activation enzymes, which have a significant effect on nourishing the lungs and kidneys, helping yang and essence, dispelling wind and invigorating blood. Bayun Village is the birthplace of this kind of wine, and in Baxia County, there has been a custom of drinking these sacred wines for men, women and children since ancient times, and it is possible that they have a long-lived physique. Yuan Ru said.

"But it sounds like these two reasons are even more unreliable, although the crystal palace is magical, but the area that can be covered by negative oxygen ions in it is limited after all. If the divine wine had been useful, it would have been discovered by people who wanted to live forever in the past, so it can be seen that neither of these two can be trusted. I said.

"That's right, so until now, I haven't been able to figure out the secret of this place's longevity." Yuan Ru said.

"But Minister Yuan, what do you mean when you say something strange happened here? Could it be that the people of this place are no longer living long? Dazhe asked.

"I can't say that exactly, but it's pretty much the same. Recently, a disease has suddenly started to flourish here, Progeria. Yuan Ru said.

"Progeria? What Progeria? Dazhe asked.

"Fatty, you really don't read books or newspapers. Progeria is a genetic disease in which the body ages 5 to 10 times faster than normal, and the patient looks like an elderly person, and his organs deteriorate quickly, resulting in a decline in physiological function. Symptoms include thin stature, hair loss and late teething. Sick children generally only live to be 7 to 20 years old, and most of them die from aging diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases. Yun Xian said.

"Hey, another automatic Baidu Encyclopedia, you have to get it, you are all knowledgeable." Dazhe said unconvinced.

"The Progeria you said is really good, but it is generally affected in children, but the current situation in Bayun Village is far more serious than you think, not only children, adults will also get sick, this disease has no symptoms, the onset is rapid, the person who gets the disease turns white overnight, and the organs age rapidly, although it cannot be said that they die immediately, but the speed of their aging, just like watching a person step by step towards death, is too terrifying. So far, dozens of people have fallen ill, and hospitals are helpless and have to isolate and treat them in isolation so as not to cause panic. I asked Ah Luo to help me check, and we initially suspected that it might be poisoning. Yuan Ru said.

"Poisoned? Arrow, how did you check? I asked Arrow.

"The place in Bayun Village is located in the middle of the mountain, with dense trees and a wide variety of plants and trees in the forest, and it is possible to accidentally eat poisonous wild vegetables on the mountain. I am a flower demon, and I know most about plants, but I have found no poisonous plants and trees in the mountains, but I have found something else. Arrow said.

"What is it?" I asked.

"It's an herb called the night whitehead." Arrow said.

"Isn't that right? It must be a problem with this herb, someone ate him, and then he turned white overnight. Dazhe said.

"Don't speak out if you don't know anything." "This herb will not be poisoned at all, on the contrary, it will be very beneficial to the body." It is so named because of its special formation process. The night bald head is actually a common plant called pulsatilla. Pulsatilla is a very common grass that produces purple or red flowers, but if the pulsatilla wants to become a night bald, it takes a great coincidence, and it must be that the pulsatilla catches up with the sudden change in the environment when it blooms, and the humidity increases, so that the flowers are moldy before they wither. The flowers of the moldy pulsatilla will turn black, but the tip is a little white, so it is called night whitehead. The so-called, who is blue-eyed on the autumn wind road, turns white in front of the snow lamp at night. Because this formation process is very coincidental and complex, it is very rare to have a white head at night, just like a white head at night, which is why it is named. It is no coincidence that the night whitehead has a high medicinal value, but it is hard to find, so it is almost extinct now, but it is no coincidence that I saw a lot of blackened night whitehead grass on the mountain behind Bayun Village. Arrow said.

"Ah Luo, you have already found out, this incident is not poisoned by eating night white heads?" I asked.

"It is certain that we have ruled out all the possibilities one by one, and in the end we can only hope for you." Arrow said.

"To me?" I don't understand.

"That's right." Yuan Ru said, "We are worried that this incident is related to your realm, the theory of ghosts and gods. (To be continued.) )
