Chapter 276: The Best Choice
She explained it very plainly, but to the ears of the three of us, it seemed a little overwhelmed by the fact that an esoteric question was suddenly so naked in front of us. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"As for the change of identity you just mentioned, I have discussed this issue with the emperor," Meng Jiang said, "His reply is that as long as his will is still there, why worry about not having a country?" ”
We were shocked again, not only because of the heroism of a son of heaven who was proud of the world, but also because Meng Jiang seemed so calm when she said this, just like discussing the old king next door to her family. Just ask if most people would go directly to a dignified king who opened up the history of the imperial system to discuss topics such as "what will you do when you die"!
However, for the few people present, the emperor is an objective existence, they see him walking, sitting and lying, talking and laughing, although they may have a sense of awe, but they will not be too disturbed by other external factors in their judgment. I am the only one of these people who knows how the empire pioneered by Ying Zheng has profoundly and widely affected the country, and indeed the whole world! I don't have much sense of monarchy, but that kind of admiration for the pioneers makes me involuntarily show a lot of restraint, at least, some things should not be said too plainly, I still know.
"But...... But ......," Park retorted, "is it impossible to live forever, I mean, to keep one's body alive?" You know how many people have put in a lot of ...... to come up with such a method."
I saw his eagerness, of course I understood what he was referring to, not only because the emperor admired Huang Lao's learning, but also because people in this era have a very strong desire for immortals, supernatural powers, and eternity, and people's ideas are more blooming, so there is a grand scene of Fang Shi all over the world and strange people all over the country. Whether it is the government or the people, or the monks themselves, there are not a few people who have worked hard all their lives in pursuit of strange arts, and even sacrificed their lives.
Unfortunately, even in the time I lived, science was already well developed, and the understanding of the laws of the human body was still not very sufficient. There is still no conclusion on how long a person's life span can be extended, and the age of the birthday stars is constantly refreshing the upper limit. This is still limited to the part of the world that is known, and who can say for sure whether anyone has actually lived longer, longer than people think?
Under such a premise, any so-called "theory" seems so shaky and unconvincing, because the possibility of eternal existence cannot be ruled out before a person dies! Moreover, it will be clear facts to overturn these theories, and no one will dare to draw such conclusions.
But it seems too reluctant to declare that human beings can actually live forever, and how can we know if there is no end to the road when everyone is on the road?
Doesn't that mean that the sacrifices made by so many people for this end up being nothing more than a void? Is our search for a way to make it infinite with a body with a finite lifespan is nothing more than the delusion of sitting in a basket trying to lift oneself?
Meng Jiang was asked by him, showing a slightly hesitant look, I guess he didn't know how to answer, but I didn't know if such an answer would stab the old gentleman in front of him.
But the hesitation lasted for a short time, and she smiled lightly and said, "Pu Weng, do you think that might be impossible?" ”
"I ...... Of course I think it's possible, otherwise I wouldn't ......," Park said, glancing back at the big burden beside him.
Although it is only an imitation, I believe that Park Weng had a lot of expectations when he made this giant blood rock furnace. He told me before that he wanted to find the truth about the cycle of life and death, which means that he is probably one of the thousands of beings who want to get rid of the fear of death.
"That'll do." Meng Jiang said firmly, "As long as you believe it, it is possible, otherwise, it is impossible." ”
That sounds so inspiring...... However, it is equivalent to saying nothing, isn't it? That's the first thought that pops into my mind.
Thinking like this, I suddenly found that Meng Jiang was looking at me with a smile, and I felt a little embarrassed for a while, so I quickly eliminated distracting thoughts and sat upright. This woman's gaze always seems to have seen through my heart, and I better not think about it. Moreover, I would like to see what Park Weng will think of Meng Jiang's answer, and whether he can answer his 100,000 whys.
"You mean, the emperor doesn't believe that he can live forever?" Park Weng said with a look of surprise.
Suddenly, I noticed that Zhang Han's body shook involuntarily, in fact, I also had such an impulse, because I really couldn't imagine that Pu Weng's mind would jump out of it all at once!
After all, these two are insiders, and such a professional conversation, it sounds really difficult for us laymen!
As for this question, Meng Jiang just smiled and said nothing, without commenting on it. In fact, it is equivalent to answering in the affirmative in disguise. When I heard this, I couldn't help but sigh.
The things that a person is most committed to pursuing, but the things that are the least easy to get, because these things are like the big holes in their hearts, things that they feel they can't have, just like rats chasing each other head to tail, what they really get is probably themselves.
If this is not the case, maybe as early as when Xu Fu was mixed in with Ying Zheng, he could have relied on his peerless medical skills to turn the emperor into a second himself, although I don't know if Xu Fu can really never die of old age, but at least as far as we can see, he has had a long enough life. However, it is precisely because he knows what the emperor's problems are, so he will hide his skills, and in the end, he will simply leave the dust.
Under this premise, we all understand why Meng Jiang mentioned those two choices, since the body cannot survive for a long time, passing on his will has become the best solution.
But the two options mentioned by Meng Jiang are definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Especially the first one, how much risk there is in the matter of fighting each other, she should be very clear, not to mention that the idea of fighting each other is not the caster himself, but an outsider who does not know Taoism at all, it is even more difficult!
These inferences eventually lead to one result: the search for a more suitable container for the retention of ideas. Obviously, this is the purpose of their secret coming, this is the problem we will solve next, and it may be more appropriate to say that they will accomplish the feat, because this container is likely to be one of the eight wonders that will shake the future world - the Terracotta Warriors of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang!
