Chapter 253 Talk of Longevity
Chu Xian shook his head: "It's not that simple. Fan Chengshui is meticulous in his work. I have checked the accounts of the city government, and there is no problem. It is rumored that this person is greedy, but he is not greedy for money. He just has a soft spot for power, but I don't think he is so greedy." Simple, I have also checked Fan Chengshui's details, he could have worked in the state capital and had a better future, but he took the initiative to ask for a transfer a few years ago to come to Yunlong City as the chief secretary."

Song Ye didn't think there was a problem: "He is in the state capital, so he certainly doesn't have the power to be the chief secretary outside. After all, he is also the second in command of the city government. If he does a good job, he might be promoted to a government order."

Chu Xian still said: "It seems so, but there were other rich cities for him to choose at that time, but he just chose the most remote and unmanageable Yunlong City, which is unreasonable, not to mention, leaving Wouldn't it be easier to get promoted in the state capital with his long-time uncle taking care of him?"

Song Ye pondered for a while, then nodded again and again: "It makes sense, then he specially invited to be transferred to Yunlong City, there must be his purpose."

Chu Xian smiled, showing an approving expression: "Yes, Fan Chengshui's picture is probably not about getting rich or getting promoted, but something else. For this reason, I specially read many documents in Yunlong City, even those from a hundred years ago. I dug out the records, and sure enough, I found some clues."

After finishing speaking, Chu Xian took out a few books from the pile of books, and saw that these books were old, and the paper was yellowed, and they might be broken if they were not careful.

Chu Xian's memory is extraordinary, and he turned to the corresponding pages, and then put them on the table.

"Although there is no clear record in the historical documents, it can still be seen from the few words in other records that there was a sect in Yunlong Mountain hundreds of years ago, and this sect was once glorious. .” Chu Xian pointed to the text on the page.

"Hualongzong!"

Song Ye didn't know how to answer the conversation, he didn't know anything about it.

Chu Xian still spoke on his own.

"There are very few records about Hualongzong in the city, so I urgently sent Luo Yong to collect some dossiers from the state a few days ago." Chu Xian did not tell Song Ye that he not only transferred from the state I got the dossier, mainly because I contacted Ji Wen, and transferred the dossier about Hualongzong from Dongzhu Division.

If it is an underground sect ruled by the Holy Dynasty, no matter how big or small it is, it must be registered and compiled. This has been the case for several years. Naturally, the Hualong Sect that once flourished in Yunlong Mountain has also been recorded.

With this, Chu Xian has a good understanding of Hualongzong.

"Everything has its ups and downs, that is to say, it is impossible to prosper all the time. The Hualong Sect once prospered, with over ten thousand disciples, but it only prospered for a hundred years, and then went downhill. In the end, there were very few disciples left. A few elders of Hualongzong knew that the situation was over, so they closed the sect, and then it was another hundred years, everything was annihilated, even the locals, I am afraid that they do not know the prosperity of Hualongzong, only the historical records can be passed down come down."

After Chu Xian finished speaking, Song Ye was a little confused, but he still said: "Brother Chu, what you mean is that Fan Chengshui didn't go to a better place, but came to Yunlong City instead, because of Hualongzong?"

Chu Xian nodded: "This is a guessing direction, and I said that historical records can record things that people have forgotten, so if Fan Chengshui is for Hualongzong, then he is nothing more than for this once glorious sect." The inheritance of the sect, this is one of them, and it is also the most likely. Interestingly, I also found some clues in the records of some other sects. Hundreds of years ago, there was such a rumor. By the way, Have you ever heard of the ancestor of the Earth Immortal?"

Song Ye shook his head, he really didn't know.

Chu Xian said to himself: "It is said that the ancestor of the earth immortal is an old friend of the emperor Taizong, that is to say, he was an ancient immortal at least 5000 years ago. Buddhas also have a lifespan. When their lifespan is exhausted, the gods die and the Buddha dies. Without exception, immortals are the same. Even if they have magical skills, they cannot truly live the same life as the heavens and the earth. But in this world, there are still methods that can prolong life, such as If you practice martial arts and learn the law, if you become a martial sage, or if you become a Taoist, you can increase your lifespan. By the way, you can also increase your lifespan if you enter the official code and become a holy official. Two hundred years old, the official of the Taoist Immortal, his life is only five hundred years old."

Song Ye nodded this time. He knew this. His father, Song Yuanzhong, sighed more than once. Because his cultivation could not continue to break through, it was almost impossible for Song Yuanzhong to become a Taoist immortal. That is to say, in the end, he was just a mortal official. , Life is only two hundred years old.

For ordinary people, this is already double the lifespan, but it is like money, who would dislike the extra lifespan?

Although Song Ye knew what Chu Xian meant, he didn't understand what it had to do with Fan Chengshui coming to Yunlong City to be an official.

At this time, Chu Xian continued: "But there are other ways to increase longevity. Of course, most of them are rumors. One of them has something to do with the ancestor of the earth immortal. It is said that the ancestor of the earth immortal has a heaven and earth spiritual root. The fruit tree blooms for a thousand years, bears fruit for a thousand years, and matures for another thousand years. The fruit it bears falls when it meets gold, withers when it meets wood, melts when it meets water, scorches when it meets fire, and enters when it meets soil. It can add a hundred years of life, if you eat it..."

Song Ye was already engrossed in listening, seeing Chu Xian paused at this moment, he hurriedly asked, "So what if you eat it?"

"If you eat it, you can increase your life by ten thousand years!" Chu Xian stared at Song Ye and said, the latter took a deep breath, obviously, this frightened him, ten thousand years of life, how long is that: "The distance between heaven and earth Now, is there really such a fetish?"

Song Ye asked a question.

Chu Xian waved his hand: "That's a legend, I don't know if it exists, but as far as I know, even if there is, it may not be as exaggerated as in the legend. The increase in lifespan may be the greatest, maybe five hundred years, but at most it should not exceed Chitose."

"That's amazing, what's the name of that fruit?" Song Ye asked.

"Ginseng fruit!" Chu Xian pointed to the document on the table and said, "It is said that the ancestor of the earth immortal once came to Hualongzong, and even left a ginseng fruit in Hualongzong."

Speaking of this, Song Ye's eyes began to light up, as if staring at mountains of gold and silver, and as if seeing hundreds of beautiful women.

"This is just inferred from the words and phrases in the classics and historical records. I don't know if it's true or not, but I think it's unlikely to be true. It's just that someone will take it seriously." When Chu Xian said this, Song Ye He also reacted, and immediately said: "Brother Chu, what you mean is that Fan Chengshui is for the legendary ginseng fruit?"

Chu Xian nodded: "It's possible, maybe it is, maybe it's not, but Fan Chengshui went to Yunlong Mountain specifically. I can't think of any other reason except Hualongzong. Relatively speaking, the possibility of him inheriting Hualongzong It is relatively large, after all, it is a sect that has once been glorious, and any exercises should be hard to find in the world."

At this time, Song Ye noticed that the 'evidence' that Chu Xian put up was a certain sentence in some historical records. It was hard to imagine how Chu Xian had read hundreds of books in the past few days, and was able to learn from them. Find these important clues inside.

At least if it was me, that would be absolutely impossible.

Song Ye even felt that even his own father could not do this.

Luo Yong walked in from outside at this time: "My sister is back."

Behind Luo Yong, he followed Luo Fei as expected.

Seeing Concubine Luo, Song Ye instinctively felt afraid, but he knew that as long as Concubine Luo had a single thought, countless poisonous insects would crawl out. He was most afraid of these insects, so no matter how beautiful Luo Concubine was, he would not dare There is a little extravagant thinking.

"Master, I'm back." Luo Fei giggled, and then whispered: "Those people have already settled for Uncle Qi."

Chu Xian knew what Luo Fei meant, so she also nodded: "Concubine, you've worked hard."

Luo Fei smiled, as if it was an honor to be praised by Chu Xian.

Luo Fei glanced at Luo Yong and Song Ye at this time, they were very understanding, one left directly, the other found a reason to leave, only Chu Xian and Luo Fei were left in the study.

At this time, Luo Fei folded her hands behind her back, looked at Chu Xian who was turning the pages of the book, then took out a wooden box as if by magic, and opened it, instantly, a scent of mung beans gushed out.

Chu Xian raised his head and looked at Luo Fei puzzled, Luo Fei said: "On the way back, I met a seller of bean cakes, so I just bought some and came back, Master, have a taste."

Chu Xian picked up a piece and took a bite. It was indeed soft and sweet.

"Is it delicious?"

"good to eat."

Luo Fei looked happy, as if watching Chu Xian eat was a very enjoyable thing.

Chu Xianrao had a thick skin, so at this time, he couldn't help but blush.

"Take some for your brother to eat." Chu Xian was embarrassed to eat after eating a piece, and ordered, Luo Fei shook her head: "He doesn't like to eat this, by the way, Master, do you know what mung bean cake it is?" ?”

Chu Xian really didn't pay attention to this at first, so he picked up another piece and looked at it carefully, and said, "Could this be the famous mung bean cake in Yancheng, Southern Xinjiang?"

"Yes, it's from Yancheng. Master, you have written in Jiangshanhezhi. Not only did you write about geography and humanities, but you also included food in various places. That's why it was rated as a work handed down from generation to generation." Luo Fei herself also took He picked up a piece, sat beside Chu Xian, and ate happily.

Chu Xiandao: "I added food from various places in the annals of rivers, mountains and rivers. After all, food is the most important thing for the people. If it wants to become a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, this is essential. It's just that many people think that it should not be included in the diet, which seems to be of a low level."

"That's why they can't write masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. The master is the master, the best." Luo Fei's tone was full of admiration.

Chu Xian smiled and didn't say anything. It's only natural for apprentices to worship their master.

"I also like to read the annals of rivers, mountains and rivers, and I want to go all over the mountains, rivers and great rivers written on it with Master one day, see the beautiful scenery of each state, and taste the delicacies from all over the place." As he spoke, Concubine Luo looked forward to it Longing, Chu Xian wanted to make a few jokes when he heard it, but he thought about it, and he was in a trance when he saw Luo Fei next to him, thinking of Li Ziwan, she also likes to travel around, Chu Xian writes about rivers, mountains and rivers Zhi, also because he was inspired by Li Ziwan in his previous life.

I wonder what Miss Li's family is doing now?
At this moment, Luo Fei frowned and moved her ears, as if she had sensed something.

Chu Xian was taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, maybe, it's just an illusion." Luo Fei tilted her head, the poisonous insects around her were a little restless just now, but it soon calmed down.

　It's the end of the month, and the bills are cleared, please support.
