Chapter 28: Spirited

That hoarse voice, wandering in the empty forest for a long time, my heart has been twitching, the other party is so hateful, in order to achieve the goal, even my own disciples can be sacrificed casually.

I looked at my godfather beside me, did the secret of "immortality" he hid really exist?

At that moment, I had no other way, knelt in front of my grandfather, and said, "Grandpa, you have heard the words of the enemy, if you can't get the secret of 'immortality', my parents will have an accident sooner or later, please show me mercy!" ”

Grandpa Godfather fell into a difficult situation, and sighed: "Of course, I want to tell you, but I have made a poisonous oath to my ancestors, if I leak a word, I will be hit by five thunders, and there will be no place to bury me, and I will die, and it is okay to let the secret of 'immortality' be buried in the soil forever, but I will affect my granddaughter!" ”

"What about me?"

"Grandpa understands your feelings now, but you have to understand that this secret has been guarded from the Tang Dynasty to the present, how many ancestors have thrown their heads and spilled their blood, and they have to suppress this secret in their hearts, I said it at this time, how to face the master of the underworld?"

Tears welled down my eyes.

I can understand my grandfather's feelings, you must know that there have been hundreds of years from the Tang Dynasty to the present.

Every generation has stayed in such a backward village, endured the loneliness that ordinary people can't accept, and finally ruined their lives, so how can grandpa be sorry for them?

Then Zhang Tiancheng shook his grandfather and said: "Uncle Shi, the Yin Evil Sect, the Thief Sect and the Jianghu Ghost Cultivator, etc., have slowly revealed their true bodies, and more sects will appear in the future, even if you are strong, you will not be able to resist everyone with your own strength, so the head of the sect asked me to bring you a word, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, you still divide the news, is it not good to be alone?" ”

Grandpa Gan sneered and replied: "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy, you tell the master, Lao Tzu He An is not afraid of heaven and earth, even if I am old, I can go to Taishang Daomen again, kill him by surprise, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Zhang Tiancheng lowered his head and smiled slightly.

Grandpa snorted coldly and returned to the ancient temple.

His attitude was so hard that it seemed hopeless to beg him. I really don't understand why so many people don't care about the comfort of others in search of ethereal immortality.

Isn't the ending of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Han in the past enough to make everyone reflect?

I raised my head to look at Zhang Tiancheng and asked, "I heard the conversation between you and Grandpa that night, don't you have anything to explain to me?" What is the mystery of 'immortality' here? ”

Zhang Tiancheng helped me up, looked at my determined eyes, and told me a long story.

As the saying goes, if a person has money and power, he will be greedy for more things, and he will want to keep everything he has for a long time.

What can do this is immortality, so Qin Shi Huang did not hesitate to take risks and also went to the East China Sea three times to cruise.

And seeking immortality, as a cultivator, he is concerned about the Great Dao and Ten Thousand Laws, and almost all of them want to have it, but as for the existence of longevity, it is not easy to make conclusions in the Xuanmen, but in the ancient books, there are people who live for a long time.

For example, Peng Zu in the Yaoshun period became famous for 800 years, everyone thought it was an exaggeration, but in fact, it can be proved in many books that Peng Zu really lived for so long.

After all, it can't be verified for a long time, so it's a heart disease for people in the Xuanmen.

Until there was a person who appeared and completely plunged them into madness, that person was Li Chungang, who traveled the rivers and lakes and died in the Tang Dynasty.

It is recorded in the classics of Taishang Daomen that he existed before the Tang Dynasty, lived for at least 600 years, and finally died in Qingyuan Village.

Everyone is very curious, even if he is a cultivator, the longest life is only about 200 years old, but he is a counterexample, so many people investigated his life history and found that there was a rare yin and yang qi in his body.

Moreover, Li Chungang would disappear into the village for a period of time every three years, and no one knew what he had done, and when he reappeared, the whole person was a little younger.

How novel it is that a person who has lived for 600 years can still look like he is 60 years old.

It's a pity that when everyone wanted to find out, Li Chungang didn't know what had happened, and he suddenly died of serious injuries.

Though he died, he had descendants who lived on earth.

The eyes of the Xuanmen people have focused on them, but for many years, there has been no progress on the secret of immortality.

After listening to this story, I thought about the absurdity of being able to injure a person who has been practicing for 600 years.

"Since there has been no result for many years, why do you want to come to Qingyuan Village now?"

Zhang Tiancheng looked at the room and smiled, and said, "If you want to blame, blame your grandfather for being too crazy when he was young!" ”

I heard from the other party that his grandfather when he was young was just a down-and-out beggar, but because he saved an injured old man, the other party dared to remember his grandfather's great kindness, not only sent him to Taishang Daomen to practice, but also taught him his true skills and yin and yang qi.

From then on, Grandpa was in high spirits.

At the age of 18, he fought all over the invincible opponents of the Daomen.

At the age of 25, he defeated the head of the century.

At the age of 30, he dared to claim to be the first in the world.

At the age of 35, he became a saint.

He even invited the famous Martial Saint, Dao Saint, and Demon Saint to go to Kunlun Mountain to discuss the Tao.

That year's war, the world cried ghosts and gods.

It's a pity that the people in the rivers and lakes didn't know how the victory was in that battle, they only knew that they fought for three days and three nights, and they left in a hurry.

Later, when he was 40 years old, a turmoil broke out in Xuanmen: "At that time, the four evil sects joined forces and tried to destroy Xuanmen with their mighty ability, so there were thirty Xuanmen, and in the end only sixteen factions remained. ”

"Taishang Daomen was tragically harmed by the evil sect because of your grandfather's hidden secret of yin and yang qi, but also because of your grandfather's superb Taoism, he used the power of one person to greatly weaken the ability of the evil sect, and then the people of the Xuanmen took advantage of the gap and expelled the evil sect in one fell swoop, and settled this catastrophe, and your grandfather also ended up dying."

When I think of my godfather's life, it sounds like a fantasy.

If he was as strong as he was when he was younger, there wouldn't be so many people coming to him to bully him now.

And what does this have to do with "immortality"?

"At that time, your grandfather was abolished, and he was dying, no one in the world could save him, everyone thought that he would die with a secret, but unexpectedly, your grandfather went to Qingyuan Village and disappeared for a month, and when he reappeared, the body's injuries recovered, not to mention, the Tao returned to Sancheng again, and the people in the Xuanmen would naturally be curious about your grandfather's secret."

I heard this, and it was strange: "Do you know how long that old guy has lived?" ”

I shook my head, my grandfather is just 60 years old.

Zhang Tiancheng smiled and said, "Wrong, your grandfather is one hundred and eight years old, and his body is still so good, so enviable!" Now that he gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, he was making enemies of the world, and the old man's life might not be long. ”

At present, the village is in crisis.

My mom and dad are trapped in the hands of others, and I can't watch them die in vain.

I also went to my grandfather during this time, but he told me that everyone has a mission to stick to, even if it is to sacrifice their lives to achieve their goals.

Grandpa is that kind of person.

So I knelt outside the ancient temple for a day and a night, because I was so tired, I passed out directly, and then I came to a strange place.

A hundred flowers bloom here, compete with each other, beautiful like a fairyland, just like the last pure land in the world.

In front of me, I saw a steaming hot spring, covered with many strips of pink cloth around it, so that I could not understand the inside, but I saw a slender black shadow.

After so many experiences, I knew that the other party had sneaked into my dream, and there must be nothing good, so I asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Little Xianggong, do you miss me?" There was a crispy sound in the hot spring, which made my body shake a few times like an electric shock, and I wondered why the fox demon came here? "I know you're desperate now, and I'm here to show you something."

Can you believe the words of the youkai?

I'm not down enough to beg her, am I?

Besides, there must be demons for a reason, and the fox king will be so kind?

"Stop talking nonsense, let go of a fart soon."

"Xiao Xianggong really won't pity Xiangyu, how can you say such rude words to my little girl, you don't want to look at me?" The fox king kept teasing me, and I had no joy in my heart, but I heard her say:

"If a man really doesn't have a good thing, you really don't consider marrying me? You must know that if you have me, it is equivalent to having powerful means, and I will help you destroy the thieves, almost no problem. ”

To be honest, the conditions she spoke about were very tempting, but they were tantamount to drinking to quench your thirst.

"You don't fancy me, but the residual medicinal power in my body, you absorb it, it is equivalent to having the best tonic, when you recover completely, I will definitely die, and then you can make waves to kill my grandfather, will you help me save people?"

I snorted coldly, bit the tip of my tongue suddenly, and woke up from the dream in pain, and saw that Zhang Tiancheng was still sleeping next to me, so I walked in the hall depressed, facing the statue of Sanqing and the ancestors enshrined by my grandfather.

Then.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door in the middle of the night.

I came to the door in confusion and asked, "Who?" ”

"Don't be afraid, I have no ill will." The other party was silent for a while, and then replied: "I am the only one who can help you save people today, if you think about it, come out and see me...... Remember, I'm just waiting for you to have a stick of incense, understand? ”

After speaking, there was no movement outside.

My heart is struggling, in the face of this sudden person, I don't know anything about him, I can't tell whether he is friend or foe, can I trust him?

Time passed in my thoughts, and I decided to fight it, so I opened the gate, and walked deeper into the woods, where I saw a handsome young man dressed in a yellow robe.

He gave me a kind smile and said:

"When we meet for the first time, I am Gong Shuheng, a thief!"
