Chapter 108: The Sixth Quest Troubled Times 7
Lu Renbing's actions in Xiangcheng made him more famous. The Taishou of Xiangcheng and a number of wealthy families of all sizes invited Lu Renbing to go to the clinic. Lu Renbing did his best, no matter how big or small the illness, he was all at hand.
The reputation of Dr. Lu Renbing's miracle doctor has been officially recognized. Xiangcheng is too guarded, and he also wants to promise an official position to retain this road doctor. But was politely declined by Lu Renbing.
The status of doctors in this era is indeed not high. Don't look at these dignitaries, treat Lu Renbing as a guest. But once Lu Renbing makes a mistake, these people will definitely turn their faces and be ruthless.
Lu Renbing has no intention of serving these dignitaries at all.
With plenty of money and goods in his hands, Lu Renbing expanded his team among the displaced people in Xiangcheng, so that the number of people in the escort team reached 100, and the number of displaced people who came over also reached 3 or 400.
These people are the foundation of Lu Renbing's future life. In this era, the deed of sale is still very legal.
The chaos in the north has intensified, and there have been several voices of giants from several provinces. The natural disasters did not stop, and the military disasters began to rage again. It is said that the new alien regime in the north has also begun to invade the border frequently. Chaos is imminent.
Lu Renbing has long understood the background of this era. This seems to be an alternate world, although it is still the earth, but the current dynasty is the Great Yan Dynasty that has never appeared in history, and the historical period is similar to the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, but it is not completely similar.
Lu Renbing, no matter what era this is, the war in the north will not subside soon, and it will definitely not be wrong to go south. The further south you go, the more unexplored areas there are, and the less likely you are to be affected by the turmoil in the north.
Lu Renbing is now completely in control, and all the power of this team, Lu Renbing's brothers and sisters, can't refute the decision with Lu Renbing.
In the end, Lu Renbing practiced medicine all the way, collected money all the way, and finally took his family out of Gui Province and entered the Hongji District of Jiaozhi County, where there are ports, high-quality shallow coal mines, and now it is a good base for development.
In this era, the deadly diseases in the subtropics are easy to overcome for Lu Renbing, a well-prepared miracle doctor.
Lu Renbing did not want to be the king, he bought a large piece of wasteland where the Hongji Coal Mine was located with a lot of money, and arranged for people to start building the castle, and spent money to buy an official position from the local government in Jiaozhi, so that the family could settle here.
The Lu family soon became a local tyrant, and after repelling several coveted by the natives, the Lu family became the leader of the local Chinese again, and Lu Renbing began to cultivate the second and third generations of the family. Let them carry out sea trade, make steel, and recruit displaced people. When the troubled times come, the central power is about to lose control of this land in Jiaozhi, and it is not a luxury that the Lu family will control this enclave when the time comes.
But Lu Renbing didn't plan to do these things. His son, who was not interested in medicine, could train him to do these things in the future.
Daughter Lu Xiangyou was very interested in medical skills, so Lu Renbing took her with her, along with a few juniors in the family who were willing to study medicine, to learn medical skills together.
What I have to say here is that the old lady who is a passer-by has run out of oil and dried up, and she has survived this road of eating and sleeping in the open. Maybe it's because of Lu Renbing's conditioning, this old lady, when she arrived at Jiaozhi, she actually recovered her health and was able to walk on the ground, Lu Renbing carefully checked it, and estimated that if nothing else, it would not be a problem for this old lady to live for eight or nine years.
After settling down, Lu Renbing began to focus on cultivating and solving the problem of his lifespan.
Now that he has lost the help of the system, he can't accurately know the exact value of his lifespan, but he can vaguely feel a clue. After all, his soul body has opened more than 10,000 acupuncture points and awakened a lot of magical powers. These supernatural powers don't have the legendary attack power, or anything. On the contrary, these supernatural powers are related to some functions in Lu Renbing's own body.
This made Lu Renbing feel normal. In Lu Renbing's cognition, the so-called supernatural powers are actually enhanced versions of certain abilities that the human body itself has. For example, Tianyantong is actually an extension of human vision. He is an extension of one's ability to communicate with others, and so on. The corresponding spell is the effect of the interaction between the human body energy and the external energy. Those who overturned the river and the sea, and the five ghosts carried the like were all spells, not supernatural powers.
Lu Renbing awakened countless supernatural powers, and these supernatural powers jointly strengthened Lu Renbing's divine thoughts, so that Lu Renbing could sense many things in the underworld. For example, he knows where his life ends up.
The problem that Lu Renbing urgently needs to solve now is how to break through the shackles of life. In order to break through the shackles of lifespan, it is necessary to fundamentally understand the nature of life.
This point is precisely what no one in ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, has fully expounded. It is almost common knowledge that everything has a lifespan, but few people ask why?
In order to explain this, the ancients created gods, saying that there are gods who are in charge of the lifespan of all things in the world. Legend has it that in privacy, there are artifacts such as the life and death book and the judge's pen, which can record and modify people's lifespan. The myths of various countries attribute the lifespan of all things to the gods.
However, in Lu Renbing's view, this is not the real answer to the question. Why is there a lifespan?
For people, people from childhood to old age and death are like written programs. All the life technologies of human beings, medical technology, have never extended the life span of human beings, but only the theoretical lifespan of human beings that can be approached by the physical body.
The cells that make up the human body have a lifespan, and they will die at a certain stage, and they are not transferred by human will. From living things, everything seems to have a lifespan, and even if the universe is as vast as the universe, there will be birth, old age, sickness and death.
Why is that? Who is in control of everything, and how can they be immortalized?
However, there is one thing that Lu Renbing can be sure of, the lifespan of an individual has nothing to do with energy. For example, an adult can eat enough food and get enough energy. But these energies didn't make him live longer.
A star that absorbs more energy cannot prevent itself from dying, and these energies, if within a certain range, can delay the onset of death, but will not exceed its life expectancy.
Nothing lasts forever. So are these souls of oneself immortal? Why does your soul have twice the energy of an ordinary soul, but still only have a lifespan of 120 years?
Are those souls who fall into samsara immortal? Through one reincarnation, they lose most of their soul power, lose all their memories, and then re-enter the next reincarnation and regain their 120-year limit lifespan. What is the difference between it and oneself, who has spent a lot of effort and accumulated astronomical energy, and can only have a lifespan of 120 years if he has risen to the next level?
Lu Renbing only now understands why those high-ranking immortals and Buddhas are sacred, and they also want to collect their soul power in various planes, if they want to maintain their existence, the soul power they need is even greater, and they are just prisoners of the shackles of life.
In fact, all things are infinite and immortal, but consciousness is not, and a consciousness with a self is the real existence. A stubborn stone has been turned into dirt for 10,000 years, has he disappeared? No, it's just that he's gone as a boulder, and he's now in the form of dirt.
If all things are not demanding their specific existence, then they are immortal. It's just that people have attachments, and people are attached to the existence of the consciousness of "self", so they have the concept of lifespan.
Lifespan does not exist in the first place, and it is only because of the persistence of "me" that there is the concept of lifespan and fear.
Knowing this, Lu Renbing still hasn't found a solution, let him give up his consciousness as Lu Renbing and get that kind of muddy eternal life? So what's the point?
He had to evolve, and now he couldn't find a shortcut to increase his lifespan, but he could evolve himself into a form with a longer lifespan, and as long enough to live long enough, he would eventually be able to find a way to truly transcend.
Now, I can only continue to go down in the strange circle of cultivation and upgrading. His current cultivation speed can't keep up with the consumption of lifespan at all, so he has to continue to develop his body's acupoints to increase the conversion rate of soul power.
Lu Renbing's soul body has taken on the appearance of a physical body because it has fused with a physical body. However, after careful analysis, it can be found that this entity is actually a framework composed of 10,800 acupuncture points from the inside out, three dantians in the upper, middle and lower levels, plus some uncertain meridians.
Based on his experience in cultivating acupoints, Lu Renbing determined that the goal of his next cultivation step was to fill this body. If you turn each cell into an acupuncture point that can absorb soul power, then your soul power growth potential is unlimited.
But how should we cultivate, on the basis of this framework, use pure energy to turn into cells and fill them in? In that case, not to mention the workload, just to say that the energy required to build a complete cell is massive, I am afraid that when my life ends, I may not be able to succeed in cultivation.
