Chapter 10: The Secret of Immortality

It is said that people rely on clothing, and this is not true at all. In that hotel, the temperament of the proprietress is compared with her now, that is, the judgment of the two. At that time, even when she was undressed in front of me, my heart did not have much turmoil, and now she is tightly wrapped in professional clothes, and my heart can't suppress the slightest throbbing.

She lives in a faculty dormitory, a small room with simple and warm furnishings. There is a bed, a table, and a stool in the room. The sheets are lilac with light purple patterns on them, which makes them look a little deep and cool under the light, making people feel particularly calm. There is also a large wardrobe next to the wall, I think this should be the standard for women, in the eyes of women, even if the clothes are crammed into the cabinet, there is always one less.

Once in the room, she took off her professional coat and hung it on the wall. The snow-white shirt made her figure look more delicate. I looked away, afraid to look at her. There should be a fridge on the balcony as she went to the balcony and got me a cold drink.

"Let's have a cold bottle to lower the fire", she smiled and put the drink in my hand.

I wanted to ask her something, and I opened my mouth, but I didn't know where to start. I took a sip of a cold drink, and the cold sensation went down my throat and into my internal organs. My mind cleared up a lot, "What are you doing here?" You won't tell me you're here to teach, will you? I asked.

"What, can't you? I also graduated from a prestigious school, and I also studied abroad, and I know three foreign languages and five national languages. Why can't you be a gardener who teaches and educates? She was unhurried, and her tone was slightly cold.

"Teach people how to cut their livers and kidneys?" I replied angrily.

"Hehe, I look like an adult, but my brain is growing a little slower. If I really am what you think, can you still speak here today? Her tone was still very calm. I scolded her, but instead of getting angry, her tone changed from cold to gentle.

Then she told me a lot about the series of events that happened to me. There are parts of this that they planned, and there are also places where they haven't done anything white so far. The reason for the incident was that Mrs. Huo, the head of the Huo family, had some physical conditions and needed to have a transplant of a certain organ, but she waited for a long time and did not wait for a suitable match. Later, they took advantage of the power of the family to conduct physical examinations in many schools, in fact, to find a suitable match for the old lady. Unfortunately I'm suitable.

Although Mrs. Huo has always insisted on not agreeing to use living bodies, the patriarchs of the family insist on letting her transplant as soon as possible to ensure the stability of the family. After all, at that time, there were already some old people in the family who were dissatisfied with the status quo and intended to break away from the family constraints, but it was only with the power of Mrs. Huo that made those people dare not act rashly. Of course, those veterans knew about these situations, so they didn't allow Mrs. Huo to take risks. In the end, Mrs. Huo couldn't resist them, so she could only compromise.

After Mrs. Huo listened to the report on my situation below, she wanted to give up with mercy. Because I am an only child, they kill me is equivalent to cutting off our family's incense, for these old people who are a little bit of Taoism, they are still somewhat afraid of the cycle of life and death, especially they have been digging for sand and digging countless soil, and they have seen all kinds of terrible things, so it is difficult for them not to be "superstitious".

The people below, including her granddaughter Xiuxiu, the girl who later appeared at the Express Hotel, also insisted on using my organs to save the old lady. The old lady then made a request that made them retreat, that is, before moving me, she wanted to leave me an offspring of incense, and she had to let Xiuxiu do it herself, and if she didn't agree, she would have to stop using my living organs. Originally, everyone thought that this matter would definitely be over, after all, Xiuxiu, who was only in her early twenties, had just begun her good years, and she had no one to do it, and letting her do it would mean giving up her innocence and the happiness of her life. But the result was beyond everyone's expectations, and she resolutely agreed.

She arrived in my city the next day, but I rarely go out, and she wandered around for two days without finding a chance. Later, when I came to the campus, although I was seen, after seeing me from afar, I retreated and didn't have the courage to come forward and hook up with me. For a few days, nothing went wrong.

But at this moment, the fat man had that accident. I left in a hurry and went south. By the time Xiuxiu found out, I had already moved into their hall, which was the express hotel. In fact, that place is one of their local halls, mainly used to receive the Huo family and people related to the Huo family, and it is usually open to the public, but because the location is not good, the accommodation conditions are average, and there are few guests. I went to her shop that day, mainly because it was cheap.

The hostess had already seen my picture at the time and was eyeing me at a glance. After confirming with Xiuxiu on the phone privately, he began to study the course of action. The first version of the plan was to let Xiuxiu also live in, live next door to me, and then wait for the opportunity to act, once I couldn't hold it anymore, they would use me as Mrs. Huo's life-saving medicine. But as soon as Xiuxiu arrived, she found that she had a menstrual affair, and the established plan suddenly came to naught.

The proprietress was reluctant to do such a thing for her. The proprietress is only a small principal in the Huo family, although her great-grandfather and Xiuxiu's great-grandfather are cousins, but after so many years, the old man is no longer there, and it is Xiuxiu's lineage who is in charge, and her status in the family is certainly not very high. She didn't care about the major affairs of the family's survival, but Xiuxiu had a good relationship with her on weekdays, and also promised her three things, so she should come down. She said that she couldn't underestimate the three things Xiuxiu promised, because Xiuxiu would probably be the head of the Huo family in the future.

Later, something happened in the Express Hotel, and now I don't understand why the little third master will protect me in the end, and after protecting me, he will let me enter the Huo family. After I asked questions, she didn't give me an answer, and I guess she didn't necessarily know the reason behind this kind of thing.

As for her coming here, it was the family's arrangement. She has now been promoted from director to officer, nominally in charge of the operations of the four provinces in the Central Plains. Of course, it is only nominal, because many business leaders under the family are basically overlords, and it is definitely impossible for a weak woman like her to control those old rivers and lakes. And then it's to protect me, because the third master said that there was someone behind me to send the wooden box, and now the only clue is me, so I can't have an accident.

Later, I asked about the white coat again, and she told me again: That person is the Bai family, and he is also a doctor under Changsheng. She couldn't tell what kind of organization "Changsheng" was, because she was not fixed, and all people from the nine sects and eight sects could become a member of "Changsheng". The main research of this organization is the art of longevity. It is said that this organization was founded by a big man back then, but it is divided into several branches, and the direction of research is different. For example, some Taoists advocate cultivating the truth and enlightenment, practicing qi and cultivating essence. Although it did have some effect, it was impossible for the big man to do it with a pure heart, so this branch slowly declined.

There is also the reincarnation system, which studies the reincarnation and rebirth of souls; The Department of Science, which relies on drugs and modern medicine to break through the limits of human lifespan; There is also the snatching system, the study of soul transfer, and so on. As soon as one of them comes up with a new point of view and reports it to the big guys, they can start researching, and they will be given research funds. Later, the number of participants was too large, and the funds above could not keep up, so they let the people of the nine schools and eight factions raise their own research funds. In that year, a large-scale excavation of graves took place, and the momentum was huge, and the scope was very large. Under the cover of loud slogans, the reason for the grave digging and robbing is to raise research funds.

Later, Jiumen cooperated to set up a research group and achieved a series of research results, they combined ancient books and modern medicine from ancient tombs to make a medicine, people can indeed achieve "immortality" after taking it, and always maintain the physical state when taking the medicine. However, experiments have found that the side effects are very serious, some people will go crazy, some will have physical mutations and deformations, and the mildest is to lose their memories and become idiots. In the end, the big man did not dare to try and passed away with regret. After that, the members of the mysterious research team also disappeared, and no one knows where they went.

At the time, she said it in detail, but I had a rough idea of it all at once. By the time she finished speaking, it was already past twelve o'clock at night. I was going to leave and go to Xiaoqian, but she said that it was so late, and if I met other teachers when I went out, it would not sound good to spread out, so I would leave again at dawn on a cloudy day.

I came here in the evening without eating, and by this time my stomach was already rumbling, and she heard the movement, "Hungry? I'm going to get you a bowl of noodles to eat, and there's nothing else to eat at home. I acquiesced and did not speak. After a while, two bowls of steaming noodles were brought over, and I took the bowl and ate it unceremoniously, perhaps really hungry, but I thought the noodles tasted good.

After only a few bites, I suddenly thought of something, "You have it?" I looked at her in amazement. Just now she said that she was helping me continue the incense for Xiuxiu, since they wanted to do it to me there, wouldn't it mean that she was already pregnant, thinking of this, my back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Maybe, not sure, those days were dangerous. It should have come these days, but it hasn't come yet. She sucked on the noodles and said in a calm tone, as if what she was saying now had nothing to do with her, and that she was as calm as an outsider.

"If so, what are you going to do?" I took a bite of the noodles and hid my guilt.

"Shengbei, what else can I do?" Her tone was still calm and unwavering, and I couldn't capture the real emotions and thoughts in her heart through her tone.

I didn't talk much that night, there was only a bed, and I tried to touch her body, but she resisted. I barely slept that night, and my mood was mixed with mixed feelings. I thought that a peaceful life could continue to be peaceful, but now that a peaceful life is so ordinary, it suddenly makes me feel out of reach.
