Since it's here, it will. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I opened my eyes and walked out of the bamboo forest. Seeing their figures from afar, he took a photo, and walked up quickly, giving a deep salute, "Pure heart welcomes the king of Shu." ”

When the turtle spirit saw me giving a gift, he hurriedly walked a few steps and returned the salute and said, "Immortal, how can I accept your great gift?" It tormented me. ”

I didn't care, and said, "You're polite, I should have visited you." The manager is diligent and always can't wait to pick up the medicine, otherwise, I will deliver the medicine myself. ”

I deliberately played a copy of Gillibal, and sure enough, he was anxious when he heard it, "Master, why didn't you say it earlier?" I came to pick up the medicine, didn't you explain it early in the morning? Of course, I'm also afraid that your old man will work hard. You know you have this heart, why am I running this leg?"

I smiled and watched him jump there, and the turtle spirit couldn't help but explain him: "What are you anxious about? Is the mage kidding you? Why didn't you hear that?"

Gillibal wiped his sweat and said exaggeratedly, "Oh, mage, this is not a joke, how can you make such a joke casually?" The king will blame me!"

I retorted, "Who is the king?" The king is a rare lord in the world, tolerant and generous, how can he blame you?"

I robbed me of a white sentence, and Gillibal still wanted to distinguish something, but finally felt that it was not right to say anything, and only the more he said, the more he ignored it, so he had to give up and follow me and the turtle spirit into the Jade Xuan.

Please sit down on the top seat, and Gillibal and I will sit down in turn. The turtle spirit looked happy and said, "I've been thinking about coming over to see the mage for the past few days, but I've been sick for a long time, and there are too many things to deal with, so I have some leisure today."

I politely replied, "The body is important, and it is good to combine work and rest."

"Master, these days I feel a lot of improvement in my body, as you said, day by day, you see, my skin is much better, even wrinkles are less, my whole body is full of energy, as if I have rejuvenated. Mage, you are truly a god. Turtle Ling rolled up the sleeves of his robe and gave a thumbs up in heartfelt admiration.

The changes in the turtle spirit are obvious to all. When I first saw him, he was on the verge of death, drooping and decrepit, but in front of him he was radiant and energetic, as if he had been reborn, even his hair was much darker, and his voice was no longer old.

I smiled and said, "You're going to get younger."

"Really?" Turtle Ling's eyes showed surprise.

Seeing me nodding, the turtle spirit was even more overjoyed, "It's not a secret, at first I was still skeptical of your words, you said that I was promised a hundred years of life, at the time I thought it was just an exaggeration, but now it seems that what you said is the truth!"

"That's true."

I nodded again, affirming his statement, and the turtle spirit was even more overjoyed, and blurted out, "I want to ask something that shouldn't be asked, are you immortal?"

I touched my chin and was surprised, "Am I an elephant?"

The turtle replied firmly: "I look at the elephant." If you can easily promise me a hundred years, then of course you can live as long as you want! And you look so young, but your cultivation is so deep, so you can't be just seventeen or eighteen years old when you look on the outside, right?

"yes, mage, I don't think you have to be a few thousand years old, right?" Gillibal also seemed curious, and interjected.

Speaking of age, I was a little at a loss, so I told the truth: "I won't tell you, I really don't know how old I should be, whether I have grown or not, thirty-seven or eight should always be there."

As soon as the words came out, I didn't want the two of them to laugh, looking at the look, obviously I didn't believe it, but I didn't want to say it, and I used jokes to perfunctory them.

Laughing enough, Turtle Ling said seriously: "Master, you are too good at laughing, how can thirty-seven or eight have such a cultivation as you?" But even if you're really thirty-seven or eight, then you're definitely good at rejuvenation. ”

I said helplessly: "You have an overreputation."

"Hey!" The turtle spirit suddenly sighed unexpectedly.

There's something to be said! I thought about it for a while, and then I asked, "Dare to ask why the king sighs?"

The turtle spirit said sadly: "Mage, after a hundred years, will I still become old or die?"

I looked at him in amazement. I only heard him continue: "Master, don't blame me for being greedy, I am a person who has grown old once, so I am especially afraid of aging. Just the thought of one day I will lose all my teeth, my skin will wrinkle, and I will have trouble sleeping and sleeping. ”

I said helplessly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of the natural world, and they are laws that cannot be violated. Immortals can't live as long as heaven and earth, let alone all living beings? King, don't you beg for fish and drill the tip of the horns!"

Before I could finish speaking, the turtle spirit knelt down for me with a thud.

I was shocked and hurriedly stretched out my hand to help, but he refused to get up, took my arm, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master, please teach me the art of immortality." I promise to love the people as sons and let them live a prosperous and stable life. As long as I can live forever, you can do whatever I want. ”

My first reaction was: this man is crazy. And then it was: the man was hopeless.

I turned to look at Gillibal, and I wondered how he guarded his king. Unexpectedly, Gilibal also knelt down, his eyes full of concentration and request.

I suddenly understood a truth, is it just the king of Shu who is crazy? In this world, how many people dream of immortality? From Qin Shi Huang to the emperors of all dynasties, to ordinary people, who doesn't want to pursue immortality?

There's no way, now that I meet me, it's equivalent to seeing hope, how can this turtle spirit let me go easily?

I suddenly regretted my original decision, just treat him, and can't make up for him for a hundred years? People's hearts are greedy and unpredictable, it is human nature, I have forgotten this most basic thing, and gave birth to his greed, which is too hasty and sinful.

I felt a faint sense of unease, and my desire to leave became firm and urgent.

This must be brought to an end as soon as possible.

I sat down heavily and muttered, "Everything in the world is a balance." Is it really that good to go against the sky and seek immortality?"

Gillibal nodded and said, "Master, what are you practicing for?" Isn't it just to live a few more years and have more skills? Otherwise, who will spend all that effort and endure all that hardship? I'm telling the truth, don't you think that's right?"

I was stunned, I really had never thought about this question.

Why do I practice? Is it the same as they think? No, I'm not like that! I never thought about immortality, I practiced because I liked it. I'm not like them!
