Immortality is almost an unattainable dream for all monks, and many monks have devoted all their lives to it, because only by having an eternal life can we explore the endless Tao as much as possible, in order to do those things that we especially want to do, in order to break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, which sets that living beings must be born, old, sick and die, and living beings always desire to live forever.

It is said that there have been many ways to live forever.

Practice, constantly break through the realm, the existing practice exercises are practiced step by step, each realm can basically extend the life span for a certain period of time, until the day soars into the heavenly realm, the heavenly immortals still have ranks, and the cultivation also has ranks, and the longevity of different ranks is not the same, in short, the cultivation directly brings in addition to the strength is the longevity;

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was an immortal medicine, and people could live forever if they ate it. The claim of immortal medicine is no longer verifiable, but it should be a lie created by the Wu clan in order to rule the people, because in the murals and legends of the same period, the Wu clan also came up with a series of immortal methods such as soul transfer method, blood soul technique, reincarnation technique, and soul suppression technique.

The ancestors believed that the soul could exist forever, so when the body aged and died, as long as the soul was replaced with a new vibrant body, it could keep itself alive, and the body rich in vitality could also nourish the soul, but the seizure involves some mysterious relationships between the soul and the body, just like a person's hand was broken, someone cut off a hand from someone else and took it up, it was almost impossible, even if he could barely live for a long time, he would not be conscious;

Blood soul art is to completely integrate the soul into the essence of blood, to create a new creature, as long as the nutrients can be devoured forever, the nutrients may be vitality, or it may be the soul, there is a damage to the sky and involves cause and effect, now there are such exercises in the world, but once it is discovered, almost everyone gets the situation;

As for the Soul Suppression, it is a method of death similar to hibernation.

There is an endless sea of sand in the west of the west of Daqin, there is almost no rain in the sand sea all year round, and there are not many dark rivers underground, but there are two particularly peculiar plants and trees growing here, one is called Shapeng, it does not need soil, but it moves with the wind and sand, and after it reaches a relatively low place, it uses the temperature difference between day and night to absorb the dew condensed on its body, and it usually looks like it is dead, and it may wake up when it perceives the temperature difference in the outside world;

The other is called the immortal poplar, it will "die once" every three thousand years, it will come back to life after about a thousand years, the dead wood is spring, some people explore it just to rejuvenate themselves, the witch clan's soul suppression technique is like the immortal poplar to suppress the remaining vitality and let it grow slowly, until one day it comes back to life.

In addition to these, there are many magic that is said to be immortal, including Danshu and Dingshu, Danshu is similar to immortal medicine by taking Danshu to continue life, Dingshu is to take people as Ding, pick up yin and yang to induce the way of heaven, in a mysterious state to seek a breakthrough to sense the way of heaven, it is said that the breakthrough is surpassed, and the transcendence will no longer be bound by the way of heaven, and there will be no more birth, old age, sickness and death.

In this way, people have explored too many immortal methods, but they really haven't heard of a few successful ones, not to mention these, what does it have to do with cultivating a great demon and immortality? After listening to Dugu Takihun's words, Zheng Yan quickly went through all the immortal methods he knew, but he didn't understand it, looking at the woman opposite for a while, pondering for a while, panicking for a while, doubting for a while, and anxious for a while, Zheng Yan had to continue to be patient.

After a long time, Dugu Takihyun suddenly said, "You rest first, I only have one soul now, some are not enough, give me time to think about it, you don't enter Beifu Mountain easily, their perception is very keen, those patrols are just superficial articles, or just bait, haven't you been sucked a lot of essence blood?

Zheng Yan had to come out, and when he saw that everyone else had already slept, he also lay down, thinking that immortality was a little weird, he had been in Vanity Fair in the capital for a long time, and what the people around him wanted, in addition to fame and fortune, it seemed that many people ignored immortality, and even many people said "only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals", "ten years in exchange for flashy dreams", and what else is "the most proud in life, ascending to Tianzitang, and entering the red Luo tent at night", not to mention what "waking up to the power of the world and lying on the knees of beautiful women" It seems that all people's satisfaction with the seven emotions and six desires is more than everything, so some people say that this is a world of rampant materialism...

Zheng Yan persuaded the four of them to stay in Siguniang Mountain and wait and see what happened, so that they could contact the same clan that had gradually gathered around them to see what news they had obtained. In the next three days, Zheng Yan saw Dugu Takihyun sitting with his eyes closed, probably deducing something, it is said that the deduction technique of the spirit cultivation is a little different from the general number technique, and they rely more on their own kind of mysterious induction.

On this day, there were only Zheng Yan and Zheng Yuchan in the cave, Zheng Yan just came out of the New Year's money, and saw that this clan sister was looking at herself, and she couldn't help but feel hairy on her body, which was really strange, and she always felt strange in the face of such a beautiful woman.

Zheng Yuchan came back to her senses and saw that Zheng Yan's eyes had some light, smiled shyly, and then asked curiously, "Do you really have a female ghost in there?"

Zheng Yan smiled and said, "Well, it's not like it's beautiful, the figure is also excellent, the temper is okay, it's interesting to tame it slowly",

The woman on the opposite side looked a little unnatural, smiled and asked, "Do you often do this kind of thing in the capital?" I mean keeping slaves and maids, I heard that a few dozen taels of silver can buy a slave in Luoyang Xiangguo Temple, and girls are cheaper, but beautiful girls are very sought-after, presumably you will definitely be able to get them."

Zheng Yan nodded and said in a very old-fashioned manner." It's okay, as long as the source of human trafficking is innocent, of course, there is also abduction, we will come to the black and eat the black, not only to deceive people but also to put human traffickers on death row, but also to gain a good reputation; the best are those who have cultivation qualifications, or those who have been convicted and confiscated by the sect women, there are also abducted and trafficked in the past, and the best ones are the newcomers of the Teaching Workshop Division, and if they get it back, they can generally collect their hearts as long as they are provided with some good practice exercises, and the unruly will have special people to erase their temperament, and then reshape, like the dead Shi Leji maids are like this”，

Although Zheng Yuchan smiled, her eyes were full of coldness, and Zheng Yan couldn't pretend to be able to see it, and suddenly Zheng Xinglu pushed the door and walked in, Zheng Yuchan dissipated the cold glow in her eyes in the blink of an eye, and turned to a gentle and demure look, which surprised Zheng Yan.

"Someone broke in and was arrested, Brother Shi Lai and Brother Yukun were confronting Beifu Mountain with more than a dozen people, Xingshuang and Zheng Yuan also passed, I'll come back and tell you, do you want to go too?",

The two people sitting didn't even move, and then they looked at each other and turned away,

Zheng Yuchan said with a smile, "I'm not going to go, one more or less one won't have much practical effect, don't annoy Beifu Mountain when the time comes, they are already very hostile to us, and the clan doesn't want a large-scale conflict this time."

Zheng Xinglu nodded and looked at Zheng Yan again, Zheng Yan asked curiously, "Are people coming back?"

Zheng Xinglu shook his head, but he didn't have any regrets, and then said, "The one called Li Zhubei is said to be the current demon king, he named and said that he wanted to fight with Brother Xingye, and the two sides each selected two people to fight, three days later at noon, three games and two wins, we won and they returned our arrested",

Zheng Yan couldn't help but smile, probably because Li Zhubei's competitiveness was making trouble, this kind of competition was almost meaningless, this guy was not afraid of losing the competition and losing his prestige in front of his subordinates? What did he do when he was too young to convince the public to toss this play? That mysterious Yuanxian actually agreed, wait, Dugu Takihyun said that he didn't want to rebuild the demon court, so naturally he wouldn't care about this kind of thing related to prestige and people's hearts, which is very subtle,

"I'm going to find Xingye, I know where he is", Zheng Yan said and stood up and began to pack his things,

Zheng Xinglu on the side stopped him and said with a smile, "You don't want to sneak in, right?"

Zheng Yan's face was puzzled, "I'm not so stupid, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, I know how to protect myself these years, if you don't worry, why don't you go with me to find it?"

Zheng Xinglu's face was full of confusion, and he shook his head and said, "No, I will participate in the competition in three days", and looked at Zheng Yuchan on the side, the meaning of which was obvious,

Zheng Yuchan glanced at Zheng Yan, with a well-hidden disgust, and said with a smile, "I have to press you down, your cultivation is still not solid, let Zheng Yan go by himself, people have walked here alone, compared to what you should worry about the most",

Zheng Yan nodded "reluctantly" and said, "Sister Jade Cicada is right, Xinglu, you have been very angry recently, and you have adjusted well in the past three days."

Before Xingshuang came back, Zheng Yan hurriedly walked out of the cave and went straight to the east, and flew for more than half a day before stopping, almost reaching the boundary of Yudanzhou, and had deliberately left a mark on the road he passed, seeing that there was a town in front of him, as long as he showed his face at the inn in the town, he immediately turned to Beifu Mountain,

The plan was set, Zheng Yan entered the town, found out where the only inn in the town was, and walked over the road.

The town is not big, it looks like two or three hundred households, compared to the size of a small village in the middle and south of the Great Zhou, the two main streets go straight to each other, and it is easy to find the inn. After entering the lobby, he sat down and asked for a meal, and finally returned to the world, it was really kind, just when Zheng Yan wanted to eat a hot meal, suddenly a person sat down at the table, Zheng Xingye, and winked at himself, and looked at the food on the table, okay, Zheng Yan had to understand what he meant, fortunately, he secretly hid two taels of silver, otherwise he would have been scavenged by his grandfather.

"How did you get to Yu Danzhou?", looking at Zheng Xingye eating elegantly and eagerly, Zheng Yan couldn't help but ask, it's really a trick, and you really let yourself bump into it,

"I arrived at Beifu Mountain early, just to see that they closed the mountain and wanted to look around first, halfway I met a big demon to Yu Danzhou and followed, thinking about catching and asking, I didn't expect this guy to be sent out to arrest people, and there was some collusion with the local forces here, under the guise of recruiting workers for big families in the city, recruiting people in the north of the town, hey, how about we follow the mountain in a while?",

Zheng Yan praised, "It's a good idea, but what if you recognize us? Your dignity is too brilliant, it's hard to hide it, and can you completely restrain your momentum now?"

Zheng Xingye shook his head, took out a gray conch casually, and said as a matter of course, "I have this,

Zheng Yan knows this thing, it was originally a couple, Zheng Xuan has one, the hidden aura is good, and it is a bit similar to the effect of the spirit rhino horn, which can transmit sound to each other, etc., "How can you have this thing? When did you and Xuan Du become so close?", Zheng Yan said at the end and deliberately showed a vicious look,

Zheng Xingye glanced at him and said indifferently, "What? I think you will be my eldest brother? Zheng Xuan is the kind of woman who will easily like a person? This thing has never sounded, and I haven't spoken, just like you, it's just the wishful thinking of the elders, hey, do you know or not, Xiaowu actually has someone she likes, and she also has worries, although that girl is still young, but she is precocious, and you will know it when you see it, speaking of which, you are more miserable than me...",

"Hey, Xuandu, is Xuandu? I'm your starling",

Zheng Yan had already picked up the conch and said to one end, and Zheng Xingye, who was in a hurry, was about to grab it, but the next moment a soft female voice came from the conch, "Starling, is it really you?"

Zheng Xingye buried his head in eating, and his expression was very unnatural. Zheng Yan had already chatted with Zheng Xuandu on the other end with a smile, asked about some recent things in Luoyang, and also told her about his own trials, and Zheng Xuandu finally asked Zheng Xingye generously, Zheng Xingye had already sat down from the side to the opposite side.

Zheng Yan handed the conch to him and gloated and said, "I thought you were chic and uninhibited, but I didn't expect you to have a long love for children."

Zheng Xingye was silent for a while, but he couldn't help but say, "My sister and I are incompatible, and I don't have the heart of having children, it's just that my experience is shallow and I lack resilience, and there will eventually be a golden page for me in the family tree in the future."

Zheng Yan smiled and didn't continue to make fun of him, and told him about the battle on the mountain, Zheng Xingye waved his hand and said, "Regardless of him, the plan remains the same."

So after the two finished eating, Zheng Yan settled all the last two taels of silver on his body, and then walked together to the recruitment point set up by the big demon in the north of the town, Zheng Yan said that he was a carpenter, Zheng Xingye said that he was a painter, so he quickly followed a team of more than 20 people out of the town, and the sky was completely dark as he walked, everyone complained, a middle-aged scholar next to the big demon raised his hand and threw out a few paper cars and paper horses, only to see him chant the spell and conjure up five real cars and horses in the blink of an eye, everyone was not much surprised, I heard that this middle-aged man was a member of a big family in the nearby city。

The carriage walked very fast, and he didn't feel a little bump, obviously he had already started to walk the mountain road, and he couldn't see the specific road clearly when he couldn't see his fingers inside and outside the car, Zheng Xingye started to sleep early, Zheng Yan had no choice but to sleep, this time he came out without a spear and a bow and arrow, and he was just thinking about sneaking into Beifu Mountain to check it out, but he didn't expect to meet this guy, so the chance of exposure was greatly increased, and it was not easy to really face the conch, after all, he couldn't change his appearance on a large scale, and if he fought at that time, he could only rely on his fists and feet.

Although Zheng Yan fell asleep, he always felt something shaking in front of him, and now he really felt a little hairy when he constricted his breath and perception, and at this time Zheng Xingye's words were as thin as a mosquito in his ears, "It's the ghost they raised, attracted by your qi and blood, don't care about it, it's probably touching our bottom",

After a while, the carriage suddenly stopped, and there was a shouting outside, it turned out that it had arrived, Zheng Yan got out of the car and looked at the sky, and the shadow in front of him was Beifu Mountain, which was actually faster than himself, maybe it was slower than the imperial treasure's flight, this Qimen Dunjia's spell was really magical, but he didn't have time to cultivate, which was a pity.

The people who were recruited by the firelight saw that there were spirits all around, and some people were paralyzed on the spot, Zheng Yan also sat on the ground, and Zheng Xingye next to him was very disdainful. The big demon walked in front of everyone, and only said that he would take the money and leave after the work was completed, or he would die now, and he would choose one of the two, and seeing this, everyone had to give in, and then he was pushed and driven to a cave, saying that it was used as a place for everyone to live.

People are always very good at self-comfort, and in a short time everyone breaks free from their sorrow and remorse, and begins to clean up their beds, and there are still beds, but they are covered with hay. Zheng Yan glanced at the entrance of the cave and found that there was really a little demon guarding it, so let's sleep first tonight.

Xingshuang returned to the cave with an expressionless face and seemed to hide some emotions, Zheng Yuan and Zheng Xinglu both cringed a little, Zheng Yuchan smiled silently,

"Zheng Yan and Brother Xingye have gone up the mountain", Xingshuang said after sitting down,

The rest of the people looked at each other, and Zheng Yuan asked suspiciously, "Go up the mountain?"

Xingshuang didn't mean to explain, and began to sort out Zheng Yan's package, Zheng Xinglu sighed lightly, "I'm so stupid, I know that the two of them won't be good together."
