290. Elixir
The pattern of Suiming Village is different from other places.
Qiao Du didn't know what the difference was, so he just said it casually anyway.
The paper hearse made its way along the road, gradually approaching the village.
"Suiming Village is located outside the Great Wall, and the last time it was connected to the Hall of Eternal Life was three thousand six hundred years ago."
Assomo looked at the fields on the ridge and said.
"So long ago."
Qiao Du sighed with emotion, and asked curiously.
"Speaking of which, I remember that immortality will still grow old, right?"
This is the information he got from [Scarlet Sakura] and Ah Xin before.
Immortality is a pursuit, and immortality can sometimes be very embarrassing.
The strong period of the ordinary human body is only a few decades, and if you live to sixty or seventy, if you don't have good maintenance and quality, the body will begin to suffer from various diseases and decline in function.
When you live to be more than 100 years old, it will be good to be able to walk.
So Qiao Du was very puzzled, what kind of state the Penglai people were.
"That's natural, but the Palace of Eternal Life has developed an elixir that can make people young and stay young as early as the beginning of the First Emperor's amnesty to the world, but it is extremely precious, and only a few people can get it."
Asuimo replied immediately.
Although the questions that Qiao Du has been asking are somewhat basic, similar to walking on the street and asking others what year it is this year and whether the national football team has entered the World Cup, but considering that maybe there are indeed people in this world who have doubts about this, Qianyun is not entangled.
"Oh! And this kind of operation, so do you have an elixir? ”
Qiao Du asked.
"After passing the assessment and entering the Hall of Eternal Life, you can get the blended elixir, which can keep your youth for three hundred years, I have studied hard for twenty years before I can finally enter the Hall of Eternal Life, starting from a miscellaneous servant to a one-sided judge of death, it took another hundred and twenty years to get a better elixir, which can keep a thousand years of youth."
Qianyun said with some smugness.
Sure enough, it was a post-zero who had just entered the society, and Qiao Du asked casually and said everything.
Of course, it is estimated that there is also the immortality of Penglai people, and the three views are not the same as the world where Qiao Dui lives, these levels of knowledge and information, even if Qiao Dui is told, there will be no loss to Qianyun, and she is not afraid of death.
"So you're one hundred or fifty years old now?"
Qiao Du did the math.
"One hundred and seventy-six years old, to be exact."
Asamu corrected.
It seems that Qiao Dui's sister is not wrong.
It's just that in Qiao Dui's opinion, this elixir has a feeling of life and death, and it is a means used by those in power to control the people below and maintain their own power.
The social makeup of the immortals is certainly very different from that of the ordinary world.
For example, the order of Qiao Dui's world is maintained by law and violent organs, but in this Penglai, everyone is immortal, and ordinary punishments can't suppress those mobs who are determined to do things, or some people can live for a long time away from the city and hide in the mountains, and it will be difficult to maintain the previous ruling structure for a long time.
And after the elixir, those who desire immortality will gather towards the ruling body, and different classes will get different effects of the elixir to prolong life, and people will continue to climb up for the better effect of the elixir.
If Qiao Dui's world, people live and work for money, then in Penglai, it is for the elixir, which is more precious than gold.
The paper hearse drove to the entrance of the village.
Qiao Du saw that there were not many people in the village, there were children and old people, young and middle-aged people were all working in the fields, and they were busy, if he didn't tell Qiao Du that this was in a foreign land, he would probably only think that this was some ancient pastoral.
"It's kind of weird."
Qianyun said in a deep voice.
"What's weird?"
Qiao Du stopped the car, but neither of them got out of the car.
"I told you, Suiming Village and the Palace of Eternal Life have not been in contact for three thousand six hundred years, originally, this village has been scattered in the records, until recently, in fact, it was five years ago, when we sorted out the old cases, we found that there was still a village here, so they sent me over to check the situation."
Light clouds responded.
Because Suiming Village is located outside the Great Wall, in the mountains, so if there is no contact for a while, it is most likely cleaned by the alien beast Huo Huo, if the judge in charge of this part is more negligent, it will be easily forgotten.
"Speaking of which, the Hall of Eternal Life is quite responsible."
Qiao Du sighed with emotion, if he changed some institutions in his cognition, it was estimated that this kind of village that had not been contacted for thousands of years, even if he found the news, would not exist.
"Thank you for the compliment, although theoretically, these villagers should have died in the book of life and death, I may just ask for all their lives."
Qianyun bowed slightly.
This Suiming Village is a place that has been left out, and according to the time limit of the life and death book, everyone in the village must die
And then he continued.
"But isn't it strange that this village has existed for 3,600 years, and the people in the village seem to be living as usual?"
"Weird."
Qiao Du repeated.
He quickly understood what Asamumo meant.
Obviously, there is no elixir in this village, so the villagers will lose their ability to move when they live to a certain lifespan, and more than three thousand years, even if it is normal reproduction, it is enough to develop from a village to a small civilization, and there are too many immortals, and the resources are not enough to distribute, plus the possible invasion of alien beasts, in short, it is impossible to look like the current quiet years anyway.
"Why don't we get out of the car and ask."
Qiao Du felt that these villagers at least looked like humans, so it was better to communicate and talk to each other first, and if there was a problem, let Qianyun clean them all up.
"Okay."
Qianyun seemed to think of something, she stepped out of the car, and watched Qiao Du burn the hearse, frowning slightly.
The two saw that there were two people, an old man and a young man, sitting under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and the two sides seemed to be playing a game, so they came over.
"Uncle, is this Suiming Village?"
As a social terrorist, Qiao Du rushed over to say hello first.
The old man seemed to be immersed in the chess game, and hesitated for a moment before putting down the chess pieces in his hand and looking at Qiao Du and Qianyun.
"This is Suiming Village."
He replied.
"The ancestors of our two sisters and brothers once strayed into the mountains and forests, encountered a strange beast attack, and then met the hospitable villagers to help survive, returned home, but then searched, but how can not find the benefactor who helped him at that time, he has been talking about these, handed down, we, as his descendants, came to look for Suiming Village, want to repay the kindness at that time."
Qiao Du immediately began to talk nonsense.
Qianyun Fox glanced at Qiao Du suspiciously, thinking that this nonsense was too outrageous, and he was simply fooling others as children.
didn't expect that after listening to it, the old man would directly burst into tears and fill his clothes.
"You guys are working too hard, you are working too hard, I'll take you to see the village chief."
I really believed it!
