Wang Mang's face was full of eagerness, his heart was rising and falling violently, and he couldn't breathe.

"Don't worry."

Gu Dan seemed to have expected, "Let's go over now." ”

He stretched out his hand to grab Wang Mang, and the next moment, even the air made a huge roar, and the two of them disappeared in place almost like streamers.

Xia Dynasty Palace.

On a bed with a raised curtain, Xu Wanrong's breath was empty and drowsy.

As a martial artist who has completed the obstacle of qi and blood, her qi and blood seem to be quite weak, and her body exudes an aura of decay.

When Gu Dan came here with Wang Mang, Xu Wanrong heard the movement, opened her eyes slightly, and said slightly weakly: "I've seen Mr. Gu." ”

"You're welcome."

Gu Dan lifted the curtain and looked at Xu Wanrong, whose face was surprisingly pale.

At the beginning, the beautiful and slender White Lotus Saintess was no longer seen, but now lying on the bed was an old woman with white hair.

The face that used to be enough to make the bright moon lose its color is not old, but there are a few wrinkles left on the face, and it refuses to go away.

At that time, Gu Dan destroyed the International Chamber of Commerce, and all the treasures of the International Chamber of Commerce fell into the Xia Dynasty.

Among them, there is a treasure called Sheng Yan Flower, and there is no doubt that Xu Wanrong has taken it.

But Sheng Yanhua is not really eternally young, and the appearance of returning to 30 years is not the longevity of 30 years after all.

Even if you push forward another thirty years, Xu Wanrong's appearance is more than fifty years old, which is enough to be called an old woman in this era.

The green silk adds white hair, and the delicate face is not left.

In the face of time, whether it is a cultivator or a grandmaster, it is the same.

There is no more tragic and fair thing in the world than this.

This time, Xu Wanrong did not hide her face with her cuffs again.

She looked at Gu Dan in surprise, especially Gu Dan's hair, which had already begun to turn gray, and asked in a little surprise: "Mr. Gu, will you also be old?" ”

Gu Dan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, who in this world will not be old?" ”

"So you're getting old, too."

Xu Wanrong muttered to herself, her expression was inexplicable, and she didn't know whether it was joy or sadness, and she couldn't say it.

Xia Dynasty, this country is still developing with each passing day, and it is even very young.

But the people who founded the Xia Dynasty together couldn't escape the clutches of time after all.

Gu Dan sent Xu Zhi'an away and sent away Gongshang, and this time, the weight of time fell on Xu Wanrong's head.

In terms of the degree of familiarity, in fact, he and Xu Wanrong have no friendship.

After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, Xu Wanrong was canonized as the queen, sat in the harem, and lived in a simple place.

It turns out that not all queens can be as wanton as Lin Xiaoyi, and the Xia Dynasty is not a big moon.

Xu Wanrong and the people in the Gu family's courtyard don't have much friendship, plus after all, they are women, and they still have the identity of the queen, in this era, it is not appropriate to get too close.

And Xu Wanrong has also become Wang Mang's virtuous helper, at least the affairs of the harem have never let Wang Mang worry about it.

In front of the bed, there was another person.

was holding Xu Wanrong's hand, his eyes were full of reluctance, "Mother, Mr. Gu is here, you will definitely get better." ”

He is the child of Wang Mang and Xu Wanrong.

He was born in the year of the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, and he was a real prince for fifty years.

It's just that Gu Dan doesn't know him well, except when he was very young, he hasn't even met.

Not only him, but even Xun Ke and Xiaoying's children, and even a large number of Cang's heirs, all of them are treated equally.

Most of the time, he had actually weakened himself out of the Xia Dynasty.

The great grandmaster can't stop the torrent of time, he was in the game before, he couldn't help himself, he was not a ruthless and desireless person after all, he couldn't pat his ass and walk away.

Now Gu Dan has chosen to distance himself from the next generation, and he has already shown his attitude.

It was precisely because of this that when the news of the Buzhou Mountain Range came over, Wang Mang thought that Gu Dan was going to leave.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature."

Xu Wanrong showed a smile on her face, and in turn comforted her child, "Even Mr. Gu can't avoid aging, and sages like Mozi can't avoid accidents, so how can a mother be virtuous?" ”

Wang Mang clenched his teeth and didn't say a word, just looked at Gu Dan with expectant eyes, he hoped, he hoped extremely much, Gu Dan, who he regarded as his savior, could help him again.

Just like when he swept away the Grandmaster of the Four Nations Alliance.

Gu Dan didn't speak, just waved his palm slightly.

A layer of rather soft emerald green light shrouded Xu Wanrong's body like a thin veil.

Xu Wanrong's face was slightly ruddy, and her eyelids blinked.

"Wang Lang. I'm a little sleepy. ”

She said.

"Then rest first, rest first."

Wang Mang said hurriedly.

"Don't wait here, state affairs matter."

Xu Wanrong's eyes had already closed, and only a faint voice came out.

"Okay, okay."

Two lines of clear tears slipped down from the corners of his eyes, and Wang Mang covered his cheeks with his palms, his eyes were red.

Xu Wanrong has a different meaning to him.

When he rushed to Yuzhou, a poor and white boy was lucky enough to save the life of the White Lotus Holy Maiden, so he took root in the White Lotus Sect, and because of various coincidences, they were really together.

It was also because of Xu Wanrong that Wang Mang had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation in the White Lotus Sect, successfully took charge of a hall, and had the opportunity to give full play to his talents with men and brothers.

Xu Wanrong is not only his wife, but also his Bole.

All this is like the story of the protagonist in the book.

But, as we all know.

All stories have to have a corresponding ending.

Even if they are both cultivators and martial artists, it does not mean that they can really die on the same day, the same month, and the same year.

When he was still healthy, Xu Wanrong couldn't support it one step ahead.

Couples who have been together for most of their lives day and night have just fallen on the bed, and may never wake up again.

"Let her rest, don't make a noise."

Gu Dan said softly.

They left the room.

Wang Mang squatted in front of the steps without any image, covering his face with his hands, "Brother Gu, is there really no way?" ”

“.”

Silence is the best answer.

There is no way.

Gu Dan has Aoki's transformation recipe and has the world's top medical skills.

But there has never been any medical record of how to cure aging itself.

Even in the Buzhou Mountains, I have never heard of any rare and exotic fruits that prolong life—Shouyuan is far more precious than ordinary people think.

Otherwise, how could the supreme pursuit of the Immortal Dao be immortal?

The two sat quietly outside, neither of them talking.

Gu Dan and Xu Wanrong are not very familiar, so in fact, there is not so much sadness, but Wang Mang's experience today, he has also "empathized".

Death means parting.

It means never to see again.

It means that everything in the past can only be flipped through in memories.

He can't save Xu Wanrong, just as he can't save Xu Zhian and Gongshang, in this world, there is only death, which is extremely cruel and ruthless.

He can only make them a little more comfortable before they die, and they don't have to carry a heavy body on their backs and leave this world.

This is the only place where Gu Dan can help.

In the fiftieth year of the Xia Dynasty, Xu Wanrong died.

Wang Mang was seriously ill and took care of the diagnosis and treatment.

Heart disease, no medical treatment.

When his physical condition was slightly better, Wang Mang devoted himself to state affairs for the first time.

He seems to have regained the energy of his youth, and often stays up all night to review and recital.

It seems that only in the midst of busy official duties can we forget some unspeakable pain.

Or maybe he just wanted to get closer to her and not let her go too far.

Xun Ke has found Gu Dan several times because of this matter, hoping that Gu Dan will enlighten Wang Mang.

However, even if it is a burden, there is nothing that can be done.

Only when the injury can be healed can the doctor have a chance to diagnose and treat it.

No matter how good the medical skills are, there will always be times when they are weak.

The fifty-second year of the Xia Dynasty.

After two consecutive years of almost uninterrupted fatigue, Wang Mang finally collapsed himself on the bed.

This is also supported by the foundation of practicing dirty and successful, otherwise I am afraid that I would have vomited three liters of blood a long time ago.

"Brother Gu."

On the bed, Wang Mang looked at Gu Dan, whose face was quite dark, and even showed him a smile.

"You"

Gu Dan wanted to reprimand, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped, and just said, "Why bother? ”

If Wang Mang hadn't worked so hard, he would definitely have lived a few more years.

"People are inherently dead, and a few years ago I felt that my body was not as good as before."

Wang Mang avoided answering, "I don't have any regrets anymore, I have almost all the experiences in the world, and now I want to see what death looks like and whether it is really that terrible." Is it the same as the Dharma says, there is a blissful world after death, and people who have made merit in life will meet there? ”

Wang Mang stared at Gu Dan and asked expectantly, "Brother Gu, you say, is there a world of Elysium?" ”

Gu Dan is the strongest person he knows, and he has always repaid Gu Dan with great trust.

If even Gu Dan thinks that Elysium doesn't exist, then it probably doesn't exist, right?

"Everything in the world, mysterious, Elysium."

Gu Dan hesitated for a moment, looked at Wang Mang's eyes full of expectation, and finally said, "Maybe it exists." ”

"That's good."

Wang Mang breathed a long sigh of relief, "I've been on this throne for so long, I'm almost tired of sitting there." ”

Gu Dan smiled, Wang Mang was really right.

If you just want to be a faint king, then naturally you should have fun in time, do whatever you want, and do whatever you want in the world? It's enough to be happy yourself.

But if you want to be a saint and a master, you may not be able to leave a good reputation if you really press your life's hard work.

Fortunately, Wang Mang's talent is not bad, and he also has a group of quite reliable people under his hands to help each other, if anyone mentions him in the future, he should be one of the models of the Holy Monarch.

"If you're depressed, you should say less."

After smiling, Gu Dan still reprimanded him with a straight face.

But there are some things that are not without saying anything.

Fifty-three years of the Xia Dynasty.

Wang Mang fell on the bed again.

And this time, it was even hard for him to get up again.

When Gu Dan passed, there was a maid serving Wang Mang to drink water.

Wang Mang is already very old.

He didn't take Sheng Yan Hua, his old face had already taken root and sprouted on his face, and he was thriving, and his hair that no longer had much luster was well managed, and he was still a little energetic.

"You get out."

Gu Dan waved away the maid, looked at the slight water stains on the side of Wang Mang's white beard, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter, you have to leak some water when you drink water?" ”

He stretched out his sleeves and wiped off the water stains for Wang Mang.

"It's not okay to be old."

Wang Mang, who was leaning on the bed, sighed at first, but recovered in an instant.

"Brother Gu, I'm leaving."

When he said this, Wang Mang was very serious, and he didn't look like he was joking, but his tone was very calm, and there was no wave.

Perhaps because of his high martial arts, he has a good perception in this regard.

The body that he had had since birth finally began to complain.

He could feel his body protesting constantly, his tired body urging him to sleep quickly.

Those things that were not felt in the past came to this moment.

The body is tired, the consciousness is sunken, and he does not want to speak or move.

He sensed it, it was the breath of death.

"What nonsense."

Gu Dan covered him with a thin blanket, "I haven't agreed yet." ”

"Brother Gu, are you used to it?"

Wang Mang said: "One by one, one by one. In fact, they are all the same, it's just that the names are different. I'm a little luckier than you in this regard, so I don't have to stay at the end. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Mang laughed, "I also have a place where I am better than the Great Grandmaster." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Gu Dan raised his eyebrows, "I owe it to clean up, right?" ”

"I can't clean it up."

Wang Mang lay on the bed, not moving, "Fortunately, I didn't leave a mess for everyone, even if I see them, I can have an explanation." ”

In the face of death, Wang Mang was very calm.

On the day Xu Wanrong left, Wang Mang already understood that death was quietly approaching, just in the seemingly slow passage of time.

What is the purpose of being born in the world?

Perhaps, for the sake of a name.

In order to imprint the name on future generations, in the hearts of the people in the world, to prove that they have been here and existed.

Many people can't do this, they are not known during their lifetime, and they are like autumn grass after death.

He was lucky to meet Gu Dan.

He was lucky to meet Xu Wanrong.

He was lucky to have everything after that.

He has already completed what he wants to do, and what remains in the world is no longer too many thoughts.

I just want to go and spend time with my family again, and then see those old friends who have been separated for a long time.

Jiangshan Sheji, who has been carrying it on his body for too long, is far from being as easy as he thought.

Fortunately, he handed over a satisfactory answer.

"Brother Gu, what I promised you at the beginning, I also did."

I don't know what I remembered, Wang Mang suddenly said.

"Huh?"

"The hungry get food, the cold get clothing, and the toilers get rest."

Wang Mang asked, "I didn't disappoint you, did I?" ”
