It turns out that it's because people here don't die at all.
The country of Wuqi is located to the east of the country of Changgu, and it is surprising that neither male nor female in this country reproduces, they live in caves on the mountain, both men and women, and their life characteristics are very similar to cicadas, living by breathing air and occasionally picking up dirt from the ground.
They came out of the dirt and ended up in the dirt, but life never ends.
When they die, they are buried in the earth, but their hearts are still beating, but the corpses will decompose, and in the end there only one heart remains. After a hundred years (one says one hundred and twenty years), they will be resurrected and crawl out of the dirt to enjoy the joy of life again.
So the cycle continues, back and forth, so that although the people here have no descendants, the family is still prosperous, and it is a tribe with the surname Ren.
To put it simply, there is only one surname in this kingdom, regardless of gender, no fertility, but they do not die, and they are resurrected every one hundred and twenty years.
They don't rely on animals, they don't rely on trees, they don't rely on natural gifts, but on an inexplicable special function.
Maybe they are also monastics, but they are just different from the monastics we know.
Otherwise, where in the world would there be such a miraculous thing, after being dead for more than a hundred years, and then getting up from the cemetery, immortal, it is simply terrifying to death.
This method of "resurrection" is also documented in the book: it probably means that people here also experience "death", but this will only last for 120 years, during which time people's bodies will slowly decay and disappear.
But the heart doesn't, they will remain alive, and after 120 years, they will be resurrected from the death of the heart. For the people who have no enlightenment, death is at most a longer sleep.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, people had an almost pathological pursuit of immortality, and were convinced of the description of Wuqiguo in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
However, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, people began to gradually have doubts about the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and many people felt that the records in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" were too absurd.
In modern times, the Classic of Mountains and Seas has been regarded as a god and monster, and no one believes it at all.
The Wuqi Kingdom recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is located to the east of the Changgu Kingdom, but does it really exist? Scholars have studied the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and made a map roughly equivalent according to the description of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the Wuqi Kingdom recorded in the "Overseas Southern Classic" is not in the periphery of China at all, but in the southern region of the Pacific Ocean.
And such a statement is only a speculation, and has not been accepted by most scholars.
Mr. Guo Pu, a famous feng shui master of the Jin Dynasty, once said: All things are passed down from generation to generation, and if you are not a child, you will have a root. Because of the heart, the flesh is born and the soul is born, so it can be, and the honorable person exists.
In fact, Mr. Guo Pu mentioned this trait, we can find corresponding evidence in nature, the vast majority of animals in nature rely on sexual reproduction, that is, male and female or male and female, through mating to produce offspring.
Most of the plants reproduce through asexual reproduction, and as long as the branches that let them survive are broken and inserted into the soil, they will survive the next spring.
Maybe the people of the Enlightenment Country are the original body of some kind of tree.
At this point, the four immortal kingdoms came out, and each kingdom knew why it was immortal.
The people of the White Republic are because of Chenghuang, but it is definitely far more than that, and the records of the ancient books of the Classic of Mountains and Seas are just some fragments, and many secrets will not be leaked at all.
Xuanyuan seems to be born with a long life because of its bloodline, and the shortest one will live to be 800 years old, just like after the Qing army entered the customs, all Manchus were born to be higher than the Han people.
If they don't pay for food or food, the state will give them money and flowers, and will build them houses to live in.
This is the bloodline, Xuanyuan Country should be like this, as a descendant of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, this special treatment is nothing.
Besides, they still have human faces and snake bodies, just like the ancient gods.
The Immortal Kingdom is because of the Sacred Tree, the Immortal Tree.
Wu Qiguo is because they practiced magic and became male and female, and came back from the dead.
After listening to Ye Qianqiu's explanation, Su Yuan was stunned, he really didn't expect that there were still four immortal realms like this.
"Is this true?" Ximen Qian couldn't help but ask, Ye Qianqiu shook his head and said: "It's just word of mouth, no one knows where these four kingdoms exist, since no one has seen them, then their existence is not necessarily true." ”。
"I think Bai Lian should be real, I'm sure Bai Lian is a person from Bai Minguo." Su Yuan said that Bai Lian Cliff is a person from the White Republic of China.
"It doesn't matter if it's right or not, and even if it is, you can't afford to mess with it now." Ye Qianqiu shook his head, waved his folding fan, and continued: "Your primary goal now is to quickly reach the top of the Heavenly List, only if you ascend to the Heavenly List, can you get out of control." ”。
It's the top of the sky again...... Su Yuan sighed: "But what is this heavenly list, I haven't even seen it, even if the words of the age are true, your words are also true, let me use the number of techniques to climb the heavenly list." ”。
"But how do I know if I will be listed on the Heavenly List after I have exhausted the Heavenly Machine?" Su Yuan was full of doubts in his heart, he didn't like to be led by the nose.
But now there is no way, his nose has been led away.
"Heavenly List...... It is a treasure that all cultivators dream of. Ye Qianqiu's voice was a little fanatical, and it seemed that he also wanted to be on the list.
"It should be true when he is old, he won't be boring enough to come and joke with you." After thinking about it, Ye Qianqiu said again: "I saw your exploits in the Sen Prison Yang Scroll Life and Death Book before, and your name has begun to change. ”。
This illustrates...... You've been using the number of spells for a while. ”。
"Are you serious?" As soon as Su Yuan heard the news, his voice changed, and he did not hide the excitement in his heart, as long as it had an effect, it would be no problem to let himself count ten trigrams a day.
"It should be true, my master never lies." Ximen stretched out his head and came over, Su Yuan thought to himself that you know a hammer, with your master's shrewdness, even if you are sold, you don't know.
Having said that, what is the origin of this Ye Qianqiu, not only can he sit in the position of the judge of the Forest Prison, but also know Time City, he also knows Shi Sui, and he also knows the four immortal realms in the Book of Mountains and Seas.
Ximen Qian also said that Ye Qianqiu is not from the Sen Prison, so his origin is very important, otherwise he would not know so many things.
While several people were talking, Ye Qianqiu suddenly said: "Young boy, you seem to have the aura of fourteen, I can't stay too long, so I'll leave first." ”。
Simon replied in a sullen voice: "I wasn't sure at first, but now that the teacher said this, I'm now sure that it's the old fourteen." ”。
"Okay, I'm going to say goodbye, and when we meet Zizhi Wang Qi again in the future, we may meet in another way." As soon as Ye Qianqiu said that, his figure blurred and disappeared into the air.
His last sentence is also meaningful, the four words of Zizhi Wangqi, don't they refer to Xixi?
Everyone who sees Xixi will say that Zizhi is king, and Xixi is indeed the king of the demon clan.
Ye Qianqiu came and went quickly, it seems that this person is also clean and neat, and he does not drag mud and water.
Su Yuan and Ximen talked a few words, and then separated again to see if they could find what they were looking for.
Su Yuan now found that this ghost city seemed to be really a different space, and many of the people who came here were not from this time and space, including the woman in white before and Ye Qianqiu in the back.
But Su Yuan didn't cultivate now, so he didn't think much about it.
In the three days of the ghost market, Su Yuan still found some good things, and what satisfied him the most was naturally the gossip seal.
On the morning of the fourth day, the lights go out in the ghost market, and when the lights go out, it means that the ghost market is about to close, and if you want to enter the ghost market, you have to wait for five years.
Su Yuan and the others returned along the same road, but they still didn't meet anyone on the way, as if the endless crowds of people they had met in the past few days were all fake.
In addition to the ghost market, Su Yuan and the others went directly to the Xia family.
Because today is the day when Su Yuan and Tang Lingfeng's bet ends, and the seventh day of Old Lady Xia, whether he is dead or alive, whether he wins or loses, is today.
