Chapter 200: The Theory of Immorality
How big is Hu Ye, this question is not only asked by Zhang Yuchu alone, Zhu Di has asked him, Zhang Yu has asked him, and even Zhang Fu has asked.
They couldn't believe that Hu Ye could show such maturity at the age of thirteen, so they all doubted the magical place of the Celestial Empire, and they all wanted to see the place that could create a genius like Hu Ye.
In fact, Hu Ye didn't know how to answer how big he was.
I say I'm twenty-five years old, but my body is only thirteen years old, and I'm just twenty-five years old mentally.
Say that he is only thirteen years old, but he has gone through the changes of the times, and he can be said to be an old turtle of an era, and he has lived longer than the turtle he has always prided.
Hu Ye thought for a long time, and then said, "First, about the fourth son of King Yan borrowing his life from the sky, how the outside world rumored, presumably Zhang Tianshi and Yan Shenggong have heard it. But with your knowledge, you don't really think that I have the ability to borrow my life from heaven, do I? That's just a little bit of progress in medicine. ”
"Just like typhoid fever in the past, isn't it also death if you get it? But Sun Simiao found that it could be cured, so it was not a big problem. The condition of the fourth prince is the same, I am just teaching the two old men a little medical skill that I learned from the Celestial Empire. ”
"Second, as for my age, if I say that I am really only thirteen, I think neither of you will believe me, but I am really only thirteen. Believe it or not, my skeleton is only the skeleton of a thirteen-year-old, and my body is only the size of a thirteen-year-old. As for what you are curious about, I know so much, I can only say that the fate of people is different. It's like some people are already buried in the yellow sand at the age of fifty or sixty. But the two of them are hard-boned, and they can warm up their stomachs with a few glasses of wine, and now they won't have backache and leg pain on this rainy day. ”
"Third. That is what you are most concerned about, and I can tell you clearly, even in the Celestial Empire, immortality is just a joke. At most, it is to help people prolong their life, because once they reach a certain age, the cells in the human body will slowly age, which is not something that can be reversed by pills. ”
"As for what a cell is. You don't have to know the way, because now you can't find it at all. You only need to know the Dao, and the longest-lived person in the Celestial Empire is only in his early 100s. Not much older than you. ”
"I wonder if Daoist Zhang Tianshi is satisfied with my answer?" Hu Ye said a lot of words, and then looked at Zhang Yuchu, looking at how this person, who was considered by the Ming Dynasty to be the most promising to refine the elixir of life, would face his own problems.
Zhang Yuchu's face was solemn. He has been able to be by Zhu Yuanzhang's side for so many years. The ability to observe words and emotions is first-class, so naturally it can be seen that Hu Ye is not lying at all, and there is no reason to lie.
"The matter of borrowing from heaven can indeed be explained by the skills of the medical Tao. Regarding your age, early experiences can indeed make a person mature very early, and his knowledge is much stronger than that of ordinary people. It's just this third point......" Before Zhang Yuchu could speak, Kong Ne spoke.
"Let me tell you about the third point." Zhang Yuchu took over the conversation, although he had some disagreements with Kong Ne. But for immortality, he and Kong Ne still have the same pursuit.
"Presumably you've heard of Zhang Sloppy's name, right?" Zhang Yuchu asked Hu Ye.
"Zhang sloppy?" Hu Ye was stunned. What kind of name is this, how is it even weirder than Zhu Baba, this Ming Dynasty is really strange.
"You've always heard of the name Zhang Junbao, right?" Zhang Yu first saw that Hu Ye didn't know Zhang Sloppy's name, so he changed his title.
"Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng?"
Hu Ye was taken aback, this name is famous, the martial arts dream of his youth, Zhang Sanfeng is a world-famous figure in the martial arts, it's strange if he hasn't heard of it.
"It seems that you still know something about his old man, so do you know how old his old man is now?" When Zhang Yuchu saw Hu Ye's reaction, he knew that he must know Zhang Junbao, so he asked curiously.
"What! You mean, that old thing isn't dead yet! ”
Hu Ye was taken aback by Zhang Yuchu's words, he remembered that Zhang Sanfeng was born in the Song Dynasty, more than a hundred years have passed, is this old thing not dead now? Is it really like in the novel, an old immortal monster?
"Boy, be careful when you speak, just talk to us, but you can't insult the name of Zhang's senior." Kong Ne came over with a chestnut, obviously very dissatisfied with Hu Ye's call for Zhang Sanfeng's old thing.
Although he is a descendant of the sage Confucius, he still has respect for Zhang Sanfeng, the pinnacle of Taoism. At this point, there is no longer a school of thought.
"Is Zhang Tianshi saying that Zhang Sanfeng's predecessor is still alive in the world?" Hu Ye touched his head, it doesn't matter if it hurts, the key is to confirm whether what Zhang Yuchu said is true, if this is the case, this Zhang Sanfeng is an old monster who has lived for nearly one hundred and thirty years.
Not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, even in the 21st century, when science and technology were developed, it was unimaginable.
"Of course, I've met Master Zu before. It's just that he has traveled in the countryside, ordered sentient beings, and has no fixed residence, and there has been no news of him for decades. Zhang Yuchu said categorically, he was very sure that his ancestor Zhang Sanfeng was still alive and well.
Hu Ye was shocked at first, and then recalled what happened to Lao Qian and Zhu Di, and suddenly a funny scene popped up in his mind, "Dare to ask Zhang Tianshi, is the ancestor you saw with white hair on his head, a sloppy face, holding floating dust in one hand, a walking stick in the other, and an old man who still relies on the old man who sells the old?" ”
When Zhang Yuchu and Kong Ne heard this, they were immediately surprised, and they both thought that Hu Ye had seen Zhang Sanfeng.
"Ha Luha, that's exactly, that's my grandfather." Zhang Yuchu said in surprise.
"Then let me ask you, have you seen your ancestor before?" Hu Ye asked suddenly.
Zhang Yuchu shook his head after hearing this, this time it was replaced by Hu Ye Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, he had no reason not to laugh, this Zhang Yuchu's so-called ancestor was a big liar at all.
And this liar is profound, not only can deceive a rough person like Lao Qian, but also a ruthless person like Zhu Di, and even a Taoist like Zhang Yuchu.
Hu Ye now admires that liar very much, admires his ability to eat all ages, this ability to fool people is really the first in the Ming Dynasty!
"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Yu first saw Hu Ye smiling, so he asked curiously.
"I laugh at the Heavenly Master who can't see through it." Hu Ye rubbed his belly, held back a smile, and said slowly.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Yuchu's face changed, and Kong Ne also looked at Hu Ye curiously, wanting Hu Ye to understand.
Hu Ye tried hard to suppress his smile, and then said to Zhang Tianyu, "Yan Shenggong and Zhang Tianshi, I will tell you two stories, and when the stories are finished, you will know what I am laughing at." ”
Then Hu Ye began the story of his master, "When I first came down the mountain, I entered Brother Zhang's military camp, and then I met my current guard. At that time, I was nothing, but this guard just resigned from the position of the general banner and did not dare, and was willing to come to my side as a groom. Such a person is either a fool or a madman, but after my determination in the past six months, Lao Qian is neither crazy nor stupid. ”
"But for what? Do you want to know about the road? Hu Ye looked at the two old men with a smile.
"Because once there was an old man with white hair on his head, a sloppy face, holding floating dust in one hand and a crutch in the other, and told him that in the future, a noble person in his life will appear, let him follow this noble man, and he will definitely be brilliant in the future."
This second story also happened in Beiping. When I returned to Beiping with Brother Zhang, His Royal Highness King Yan rewarded me with a house, which used to be the general's mansion of the Yuan Dynasty, which was very magnificent. Originally, King Yan should have rewarded those soldiers who had meritorious service in battle, but His Royal Highness still left it to me. The two intellectuals said that what is this for? Hu Ye asked again.
Seeing that the two old men were frowning, Hu Ye didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, and said, "Later, I asked His Royal Highness King Yan, and he said that decades ago, there was an old man with white hair on his head, a sloppy face, a floating dust in one hand, and a stick in the other, and told him when he entered Beiping that this general's mansion should be left to a destined person, and this destined person will help His Royal Highness King Yan." ”
Presumably, both of them have guessed that the old man with white hair on his head, a sloppy face, holding floating dust in one hand and a crutch in the other, is actually the same person, that is, the ancestor in Zhang Tianshi's mouth. I don't know if the two of you know Lu Dao now, do I laugh at what I am laughing at? After Hu Ye finished telling the story, he looked at the two old men curiously, wanting to see what their expressions would be now.
"You mean to say that the one I met was a liar, and that person also deceived your guards and the Yan King?" Zhang Yuchu paused for a long time, and finally said these words, obviously he didn't believe that the ancestor he had met was actually a big liar who deceived the world.
"Presumably, Zhang Tianshi knows much more about deception than I do, and the fact that he was able to deceive my guards and King Yan can only show that he is superior in deception. But he was able to deceive Zhang Tianshi, which can only show that Zhang Tianshi has a knot in his heart, that is, he believes that there is really an elixir in this world, and you believe that your ancestor has taken the elixir, so he can live to be more than a hundred years old. ”
In the eyes of the Celestial Empire, this is something called self-hypnosis. Zhang Tianshi implied to himself that he was your ancestor, and he would also do what he could, so Zhang Tianshi naturally regarded him as your ancestor. ”
"But the truth is, he's just a clever liar, and there is no elixir of life in this world." Hu Ye said loudly.
In fact, he really wanted to fool Zhang Yuchu, saying that there was an elixir of life in this world, and then fool him into giving Zhu Yuanzhang alchemy, and it was best to eat Zhu Yuanzhang to death.
But this greatly changed the course of history, which also went against his original intention of helping Zhu Di, so let Zhu Yuanzhang die of old age naturally. (To be continued......)
