Immortal Mystery Chapter 8 Seeking Immortality
Senior Liang nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant...... However, if it's really inconvenient for you, forget it......"
I hurriedly said, "Convenient, convenient!" I was just wondering, why are these wild fairies so interested in what we have in our bags? ”
"This is also what I want to know......
The altar opened his backpack, took out the three bronze jade slanted top furnaces, and handed them to Master Liang to see.
Liang Youcai took the bronze furnace and looked left and right, but he didn't see the reason for it for a long time. Master Liang looked at it for a while and said to me, "Although I can tell that this bronze furnace is an antique, I don't see why those wild fairies are so interested in these antiques. I wonder if you can tell me the origin of these three copper furnaces? ”
"The origin is long, but these three bronze jade slanting top furnaces are related to Xu Fu." I said to Master Liang.
Master Liang's expression changed: "Xu Fu? Do you mean that Xu Fu who went to the East China Sea to find the elixir for Qin Shi Huang during the Qin Dynasty? ”
I saw that Master Liang's expression became a little surprised, and I also felt very strange, because since I saw Master Liang, he was very unfazed, and even when he dealt with Ye Xian'er just now, his expression did not change much, but at this moment, ......
"Master Liang, do you know something?" I asked him tentatively.
Master Liang nodded thoughtfully and said, "If these antiques are related to Xu Fu, then I understand why they are entangled with you." ”
The altar immediately shouted: "Master, master, you talk quickly, you talk about it quickly!" ”
Liang Youcai glanced at the jar and said, "Now you know how powerful we are, right?" Who said we were liars who ate and drank together, and said that we were full of nonsense? Since I'm a liar, why are you asking? ”
The jar was suddenly swept back, and after eating, he stopped talking.
Master Liang waved his hand at Liang Youcai: "The matter has passed...... If you have money, why do you still want to forget it? You're just too small-bellied and have no heart. Because how many times have I told you this? ”
Liang Youcai was told this by his uncle, so he didn't say anything anymore.
Master Liang said to me: "You must know that although people have five senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch, plus the mysterious 'sixth sense', it can be said that in terms of feeling, it is quite balanced in the biological world, but it is not very strong. Because, the perception of some animals is many times stronger than that of us humans, not to mention these wild fairies who already have some Taoism, so they can perceive some things that we humans can't perceive......"
"You mean ......"
"Breath!" Master Liang said, "The items that we humans have used will more or less leave some breath. Police dogs, for example, are able to track people based on their scents. Of course, a breath is not the same as a smell. After a while, the smell naturally disappears. But the breath is different, it can remain on the object for years, decades, hundreds or even thousands of years, it is an invisible and intangible trace. And the green fairy and the black fairy just now, I think it may have come to the door with these breaths that have been retained on the bronze furnace for thousands of years......"
I was a little puzzled and asked, "Then why do they want these incense burners?" They are not like us, they need money to live, do they also want to live in the world, and want to sell these three antiques for some money to spend? ”
Master Liang turned around, looked up at the night sky and asked me, "Do you know what these animals are cultivating immortals for?" ”
The jar rushed and said, "Incarnate as a human!" ”
"Be smart. If it was to turn into a human, the black fairy just now could already transform into a human form, so why did it come to rob you? Liang Youcai choked on the jar.
The altar pulled his neck and said, "That's only one, who doesn't want to be able to change a few more appearances!" Just like Monkey King, there are seventy-two changes, if you want to be fat, you can be fat and thin, if you want to be beautiful, you can change it casually, and experience a different life with different faces and different identities. Then he said with a look of envy: "What an enviable life! ”
I sighed and explained to Tanzi: "Sun Wukong's seventy-two changes means that he has seventy-two ways of change, including what kind of secluded passage, exorcism, mountain, forbidden water, borrowing wind, cloth fog, doppelganger, etc., not that he can become seventy-two. ”
Liang Youcai laughed at the altar and said: "That is, if Sun Wukong's seventy-two changes can become seventy-two human forms, then he won't be able to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and it is just right to be a cowherd in Fengyue Place." Like you said, to be fat or fat, to be thin or thin, to be tall or tall, to be short or short, there is always one for you. ”
"It's right to take on human form, but that's just the first phase of their goal." Liang Shiyou said.
"It's Chengxian!" I say.
"Why?" Jar asked.
"Didn't Master Liang say it just now, what are they cultivating immortals for? Of course, it's for becoming an immortal! I explained, "How majestic it is to soar through the clouds, call for wind and rain, and turn stones into gold!" ”
Master Liang said: "Becoming an immortal is just the second goal. ”
"Huh?" Tanzi was surprised and said, "Is there a higher pursuit than becoming an immortal?" ”
Master Liang said: "Do you know that the gods in myths and legends also have a lifespan? ”
"Immortals have a lifespan?" We are a little dumbfounded, in our cognition, the gods should not die, and where can there be a lifespan.
"Actually, immortals have a lifespan limit, and they will die one day, but they all have a long lifespan. Haven't you heard of the 'Five Decays of Heaven and Man'? It is about the five manifestations of heaven and man before death. Liang said.
This time, I understood, so I suddenly realized: "Master Liang, you mean that they also want to live forever. ”
Master Liang said: "If you become an immortal, your lifespan will increase a lot, but it is not that you will be immortal, so this immortality is their ultimate goal." Think about it, in myths and legends, the Queen Mother's peach party, which god in the sky doesn't want to participate, and which fairy doesn't want to taste the peach wine. Everyone knows that eating peaches can lead to immortality, but how many do you really eat? What's more, although there are spirits in this world, no one knows whether there are really immortals, no one has ever seen them, and the Pan Tao Club is even more shadowless, ethereal. But there are still many people chasing the law of immortality in this world, and Qin Shi Huang is one of them. Of course, we all know that Qin Shi Huang did not get immortality in the end. However, there are many legends about Xu Fu's search for the elixir of life, one of which is that Xu Fu actually found the elixir, but he didn't give it to Qin Shi Huang. ”
