Chapter 85: The Land of Eternal Life
"The Land of Eternal Life?"
The words were ethereal, sounding like they had no reason, but they were like a heavy hammer hitting Ye Xuan's heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"How is this possible? Is there an immortal here?" Ye Xuan said in a lost voice, his face solemn, and he couldn't believe it.
Eternal life is not eternal life.
Immortality is only a long lifespan, and it will not age with the passage of life, but when the time limit comes, it will still return to dust and dust, and will no longer exist in the world.
Eternal life is different, eternal life is the real immortality, never life limit, after the vicissitudes of the world without changing its true colors, thousands of calamities and leaving the world independent, immortal, immortal, never perishable.
Although the meaning of eternal life and immortality are similar, there is a world of difference.
When it comes to immortality, once a mortal embarks on the path of cultivation and becomes a monk, he can attain a lifespan far beyond that of the world, and his youth will last forever, and he will be worthy of the four words of immortality.
Eternal life is completely different.
Although the life span of a monk is long, once he encounters all kinds of calamities, the five decays of heaven and man, and he will eventually die.
If you want to truly achieve the goal of going through thousands of calamities and being alone, the heavens and the earth are old and eternal, I am afraid that only the legendary immortals can do it!
If what this strange old man said is true, doesn't it mean that there are immortals here?
"How is it impossible?" The strange old man Gong Lu seemed to see through Ye Xuan's inner thoughts, and said with a strange smile: "How to live forever? Heaven and earth are immortal and I am immortal, the sun and the moon are extinguished and I am not immortal." According to ancient legends, immortals are ethereal and immortal after thousands of catastrophes. But immortality is only one of the characteristics of immortals, and it does not represent the whole story! Kyushu is so big, there has never been conclusive evidence that someone has ever become an immortal for hundreds of millions of years. But if you want to have eternal life, you don't have to!"
His words are extremely mysterious, and even contradictory, which is puzzling.
Even the three apprentices of this strange old man were puzzled and puzzled.
But Ye Xuan thought about it for a while, and vaguely understood what this strange old man meant.
"The predecessors said that immortals will definitely live forever, but if you want to live forever, you don't have to become an immortal!" he said in a deep voice.
"You kid has a lot of understanding!" said the strange old man appreciatively.
But Ye Xuan didn't have the slightest sense of pride, but his face became more and more solemn.
If Loulan can really make people immortal, even if she is not an immortal, she is not far from an immortal.
Being an enemy of these people who are close to immortals is really dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will have no bones.
"Is there really an immortal here?" Ye Xuan's voice was solemn.
"Why not? Haven't you seen it?" the dry skin on the strange old man's face wrinkled and laughed together, and his words were thick and strange, eerie.
"I've seen it?" Ye Xuan was surprised, he didn't know where he started talking about this, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, his eyes moved, "Could it be ......?"
"Looks like you've thought of it!" said the strange old man, "This city is full of human puppets, with wisdom comparable to that of humans, but only one day's memory, don't you wonder how they were formed?"
Before Ye Xuan could answer, a cold and fierce light suddenly shot out from his eyes, and he shouted categorically: "That's right! These puppets are all transformed from living humans! And they are not ordinary humans, but the Loulan people who lived here thousands of years ago!"
"What? You said that these puppets have survived for eternity!" Ye Xuan couldn't help but scream, even though he thought of countless possibilities, he didn't expect this, it was too terrifying, and a deep chill hit his body.
Eternity is too long, enough for mortals to be reincarnated thousands of times, even for monks, it is an incomparably long time, it is difficult to survive in the world for so long.
And the people of Loulan in the city have lived for thousands of years, which is completely unimaginable against the sky, if these Loulan people are still alive!
"That's good!" the strange old man's voice was weird, "Transforming a living person into a puppet, the body will never decay with the passage of time, and hiding in the Loulan Giant City will not fall even if the catastrophe comes, isn't this another kind of eternal life?"
"But what's the meaning of this kind of eternal life?" Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, disagreeing, "There is only one day's memory, forever living in reincarnation, suffering pain and suffering, and never being able to transcend, just living in the world!
"You're still young! This kind of immortality may not mean anything to you!" the strange old man shook his head and said meaningfully, "But for some old immortals from Kyushu who are struggling to survive, this is hope!"
"Even if you turn into a puppet and sink into a day of reincarnation, are you willing?" Ye Xuan couldn't understand, turning into this kind of monster that is neither human nor ghost, without the slightest emotion, unable to experience the joy of life, even if it is immortal, what is the use?
Just thinking about it makes him tremble.
"What if you can really live forever and turn into a puppet? As long as you are a monk, you will be willing!" The strange old man sneered a few times, full of sarcasm, and he didn't know who he was laughing at, "Besides, what if there is only one day of memory, the heaven and the earth are so big, there are countless exercises, each has its own wonderful use, and there is always a solution! You said that if you can solve this memory defect, people can become puppets of eternal life, and they can have soul memories for a long time, will anyone be unwilling?"
Ye Xuan was creepy.
This kind of eternal life may not be attractive to him, but it is definitely a great temptation for those cultivators who are not long in life, and I am afraid that they are willing to sacrifice even the greatest price.
"Hehe, this is the terrible thing about Loulan!" the strange old man smiled coldly, "For thousands of years, the people of Kyushu have been looking for this Loulan Demon Land again and again, wanting to find the mystery of Loulan's eternal life. Although most of them were submerged in the sea of death, there were still a few old monsters that entered this Loulan, and there were quite a few of them! But do you know? These old immortal monsters are all great monks of the hundred schools of Kyushu, and they have endless means, but after entering this place, no one can escape, never! This place is definitely a forbidden place for the extinction of a living being!"
Ye Xuan's face was extremely heavy.
Even this strange old man called the old monster monk how powerful an existence could be, even these people couldn't escape from this Loulan City, let alone him.
Doesn't that mean that he will be trapped in this Loulan City forever, and he will never be able to be freed!
For a moment, his heart sank to the bottom.
But when he saw that the strange old man still had a sneer on his face, his eyes moved, and he asked again: "I don't know why the predecessor appeared in this Loulan City, is it also for the so-called mystery of eternal life?"
"Hmph, you don't have to try me! I came here by chance, not to find the mystery of eternal life. After all, compared to those old people who don't die, the old man has a long life, and he is still very young!" The strange old man snorted coldly, quite disdainful.
"Uh!" Seeing that the strange old man's limbs were as dry as firewood, and his skin was even more wrinkled like old bark, Ye Xuan felt a chill, "This is still young?"
His face didn't show the slightest, and after thinking about it, he said solemnly: "Senior, you have told me so many secrets, I don't know what it has to do with you taking the initiative to accept the junior as an apprentice? The junior is really flattered!"
"Hey!" the strange old man glanced at Ye Xuan and smiled strangely.
"The old man has no ill will towards you! I took you as an apprentice, just to let you break into the palace and find a chance to escape from Loulan!"
