Chapter 19, Ren, Immortality
A word is like a shock.
Rao is Ren Changsheng has lived for nearly three hundred years, his spiritual cultivation is extremely profound, and he has almost seen through life and death, when he heard that Pan Long still had a way to help him extend his lifespan for some more, he couldn't help but change color on his face, shortness of breath, and lose his consistent immortal wind bones.
He didn't rush to answer, but first took a few deep breaths to calm his mood, and waited until he fully recovered before asking, "What kind of elixir is it, and it can actually extend my life?"
The effects of the various life-prolonging elixirs overlap rather than additive. For example, if two people take two elixirs for 10 years and 20 years of life, they can only prolong their lives by 20 years.
In the world of Kyushu, the strongest longevity effect is some legendary things - no one has really seen them, and they can be treated as if they don't exist.
Those elixirs that exist normally and can be found and given to people can prolong their life for about sixty years at most.
The general limit life span of the great master of the unity of heaven and man is four jiazi, that is, two hundred and forty years, and Ren Changsheng cultivates the Dao Sect Mental Method, and he is good at maintaining health, and he can probably live for one or two decades more. He had also taken an elixir to prolong his life for sixty years...... In general, he should theoretically live to three hundred and twenty years - this is the limit, absolutely no more.
In fact, he didn't live that long, he was all over the world, and he didn't know how many hardships he had experienced. Behind the name of "nosy", there are countless times when the weak are outnumbered. In the battles again and again, he lost a lot of vitality, accumulated a lot of dark wounds, and lost a lot of longevity.
Today, he probably won't even live to be 300 years old.
And he was already over two hundred and eighty years old.
In other words, he really has little time, a few years, or more than ten years, and he is about to run out of life.
Seeing that the old ancestor had calmed down, Pan Long smiled and took out the information.
Ren Changsheng took the information, looked at it carefully for a while, and his eyes gradually brightened.
He has been cultivating for many years, and his cultivation has already reached the point of being unfathomable. As he once said, if you look at the vision and cultivation of the same age, you are a demon god and immortal Buddha, and you may not be able to compare with him.
He took a look at this information and thought about it in his heart, and he felt that it made a lot of sense, and maybe it was really feasible.
He didn't ask about the origin of this information, and said bluntly: "I'll arrange the manpower and prepare the formation." Where do you think it's better to put the formation?"
"Isn't there a retreat room on the mountain? Pan Long said, "This formation doesn't take up much space originally, and it can be made into two rooms." The upper rooms are for your ancestors to live in, and the lower rooms are used for offerings, and each of the two rooms has its own exit. This doesn't interfere with each other and saves you from soiling your resting place. ”
Ren Changsheng smiled: "It doesn't matter if you get dirty or not." ”
"It's better not to get dirty, or not to get dirty. ”
The two of them arrived at the retreat room, which happened to be unoccupied at the moment. They walked up and down the retreat room, carefully observing the terrain and fine-tuning the formation according to the direction of the leylines there.
A few days later, the children of the Ren family carried all the materials needed to arrange the formation up the mountain.
To ensure safety, the people in charge of transporting the materials are all close relatives of the Ren family, and they are time-tested and completely trustworthy. Pan Long's grandfather, Ren Anmin, is also among them.
Seeing his grandfather, Pan Long was naturally very happy, and secretly handed his grandfather a bottle of Tianshou wine.
According to legend, the Soul Returning Grass grows a leaf every 100 years, and each additional leaf can live for an extra 100 years after eating. And if it grows to nine leaves, it can even come back to life after eating.
Of course, this is a false rumor, not to mention that the Soul Restoration Grass can only grow to three leaves, and then it will take off its body and cultivate into a fairy, and the original body medicine will be useless. Even if you use various means to restrict it, if you really let it grow to nine leaves, it can only prolong its life for about 200 years.
This is the limit of its efficacy.
Moreover, the soul grass is ...... In fact, it has long been extinct in the world.
Pan Long's Tianshou wine is made by Wen Chao's afterimage. The material comes from the creation of the Sutra of Mountains and Seas, if it weren't for the Sutra of Mountains and Seas being able to transform the aura void creation, even if it was an immortal, Buddha and demon god, there would be no place to find another Soul Restoration Grass.
Wen Chao's afterimage made a lot of Tianshou wine, and Pan Long carried four or five bottles on his body. It's just that this thing is really not easy to explain, in the original dragon slaying treasure, some people got some, and the total added up to about a dozen bottles.
Most of these dozen or so bottles of Tianshou wine were drunk on the spot, and even if they were taken out, they were generally taken as soon as possible after they were out of treasure. What really flows into the rivers and lakes is only two or three bottles.
It was those two or three bottles of Tianshou wine that caused countless disputes, and around those bottles of wine, I am afraid that the number of dead people has already exceeded thousand.
Pan Long didn't want to get into trouble, so he never took out his Tianshou wine.
As for the treasures that can last longer...... Wen Chao didn't give it to him at all.
"Don't carry that kind of thing with you until you grow up, and beware of getting into trouble. Wen Chao said.
Pan Long also felt that he was reasonable, Tianshou wine was troublesome enough.
My grandfather is just over 60 this year, and he is younger than his grandfather Pan Shou. But unlike his grandfather, my grandfather's cultivation is profound and his exercises are exquisite, and if he can live longer, he may not be able to impact the realm of real people in the future.
So Pan Long simply did it in one step and gave him Tianshou wine directly.
According to his judgment, if his grandfather could live to be one hundred and eighty years old, he would be enough to step into the realm of real people.
As for the grandfather...... Then the old man can only be stationed in the scope of the formation as the representative of the Pan family. I hope that this formation can be like being in another world, so that he can continue to live forever......
After more than ten days, all kinds of materials were gathered. Pan Long and Ren Changsheng personally took action, dug and laid in the belly of the mountain, and completed the formation.
It took about a month, and finally the formation was finally completed.
There are no retreat rooms in Suitao Mountain, but there are several more secret rooms. There are three rooms on the top and a hall on the bottom.
The water vapor between heaven and earth is condensed into a spring and introduced into it, first giving water to the three secret rooms above, and the rest flowing into a pool in the hall, and when it is full, it is re-channeled by magic to the top of the mountain, and flows into the small lake at the top of the mountain.
Of the three secret rooms, one belongs to the Ren family, one belongs to the Pan family, and one room is given to whoever needs it, but it is not for a long time, it is only used for cultivation or retreat.
The hall below is not connected to the secret room above, but there is a secret passage that leads to the wooden house where Ren Chang usually lived in his life.
Its main passage passes through the mountain, and the exit is in the manor of the Ren family at the foot of the mountain, and it is guarded by many formations. Even the children of the Ren family, most of them don't know about its existence.
Whenever sacrifices were to be delivered, they could be sent either by Ren Changsheng or from the manor under the mountain.
As for the offerings...... After the formation was completed, Pan Long and Ren Changsheng went out to catch a fierce beast, which was a ghost car bird that was quite common in Yizhou and Jingzhou.
The ghost car bird has nine heads, and at first glance it looks like a spirit beast nine phoenixes. However, Jiufeng actually has only one head, and the other eight are spare furnishings. Unless the largest main head in the center is severed, the remaining eight heads are of no use. But the nine heads of the ghost car bird are not only about the same size, but they are all intelligent. The nine heads often quarreled with each other, and even often tore and beat each other, beating them all over with blood, and when they fly, the dirty blood dripped to the ground, forming poisonous water.
This beast likes to eat children, and it is only when it eats people that its nine heads will agree and no longer quarrel.
As a fairly common ferocious beast in south-central Kyushu, the masters of Kyushu often exterminate it. But this thing has a strong reproductive ability, and it has been eradicated repeatedly. Some people even wonder if it can be born with the evil aura between heaven and earth, otherwise how could it be killed and killed?
The ghost car bird that Pan Long and Ren Changsheng caught didn't look very old, and even the feathers of its wings were still a little soft, unlike the wings that were as hard as steel like ordinary powerful birds.
But it is such a ghost car bird, which may be considered "underage", and in its nest, three broken child bones have been found!
If you have to use it to test the formation, according to Pan Long's temper, most of you will directly cut it in two, and then burn it clean!
The ghost car bird that had been beaten and tied up was put into the altar in the center of the pool, and the formation immediately started, and the red light was like a rope, binding it firmly.
Then, the water source in the three secret rooms above immediately changed subtly.
Pan Long and Ren Changsheng came to the secret room and drank water from the imitation holy grail, and immediately felt refreshed, and the vitality in their bodies increased a lot.
Then, Pan Long rode the wind away. I found that after leaving Suitao Mountain for a certain distance, those vitality began to drain. By the time he flew all the way to the coast of the East China Sea, his remaining vitality was less than one-third of his original vitality.
He returned to Suitao Mountain, but his vitality did not increase again.
When he saw Ren Changsheng again, although he still had white hair, and his long white eyebrows were even about to grow like his beard, the color of aging and twilight on his face had faded a lot, and the oncoming twilight was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
I believe that it will not be long before he will be able to recover to the point of "old but not decaying". Maybe you might even be able to regain your youth!
Ren Changsheng naturally understood his situation, and sighed: "I thought that this life was almost at the end, and I was wondering if I should seize this last time and try to impact the path of achieving a demon god with obsession, but I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise!"
"How is the situation of the old ancestor?" Pan Long asked.
Ren Changsheng said with a smile: "The situation is very good, and it can even be said that I haven't had such a good time for many years." ”
He said: "Now I feel like I'm probably back to about 200 years old. And it seems to be slowly getting younger, and it may eventually stabilize around 170 or 80 years old. That's pretty much the prime of life for me. ”
Pan Long said the results of his experiment, and Ren Changsheng nodded slightly.
"I understand, if it wasn't a last resort, I wouldn't leave Suitaoshan from now on - well, not necessarily, after I cultivate into an adulthood, I can leave and test it out. ”
Pan Long naturally had no objection.
Immortals have endless life force, and even if they lose a lot, as long as they don't die on the spot, they can recover.
If the Old Ancestor cultivated into a lifespan, then even if the vitality brought to him by this formation and the "Holy Grail" dissipated, he would still be able to live.
And with the skills of the old ancestor, as long as he is given some more time, I believe he will definitely be able to cultivate into an immortal life!
When Pan Long was studying art with Bi Lingkong in Yunzhou, he once asked the teacher about his grandfather's situation. At that time, Bi Lingkong said: "Ren Changsheng is a person with talent, and there is no shortage of opportunities. It's just that he wants to be very high, and he is determined to become an immortal Buddha. But the path of the immortal Buddha is not easy to walk, as far as I know, he has walked to the path of the immortal Buddha three times, but found that this road has long been occupied by people, and it is impossible to achieve immortality...... If he continues to be so stubborn, he will probably only die at the end of his life. ”
The teacher's implication was naturally that if Ren Changsheng was willing to retreat and become a demon god, he would probably have succeeded a long time ago.
Ren Changsheng himself also lamented that he was born too late, and the opportunities were taken up by others.
The few paths he was looking for were all broken through in that direction after many explorations and determined that there were no immortal Buddhas in the world that corresponded to these paths. As a result, who knew that it would have been occupied a long time ago...... The immortals and Buddhas who want to occupy these paths may have fallen into Taoism for many years, transforming into a mountain, a river, a cloud, and a gust of wind in the world...... Even the stories in the world have long been obliterated.
was occupied by such old people, so that he could not cultivate into an immortal, and Ren Changsheng was extremely aggrieved.
But life is like this, first come and come first, it is unthinkable.
But now, he has enough time to find a new path.
"Old Ancestor, do you still plan to find a path that has not been occupied in order to cultivate into an Immortal Buddha?" asked Pan Long as he was leaving.
Ren Changsheng nodded: "If you can become an immortal Buddha, why do you need to pursue a demon god?"
"Over the years, I have also known several demon gods. Feel the demon god...... Seems to be okay. ”
"That's when you haven't seen them before they became demon gods!" Ren Changsheng sighed, "If a person becomes a demon god, his thoughts and thoughts often revolve around obsessions. If it's short-lived, it may not be obvious. After a long time, the whole person will become crazy......"
"Of course, it is not without exceptions. For example, the famous 'Yiwu' Bi Lingkong, her personality is no different from ordinary people. But she was born from an extraordinary background, she was a great sage of Confucianism in the past, and she was a figure who had a dispute with Emperor Jiazi...... What she can do, others may not be able to do. ”
"So, after all, I still want to be able to stay who I am and not become a ...... Someone I don't even recognize!"
