Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 106

"Oh?"

Gu Dan's face remained calm, but he couldn't help but become curious in his heart.

Mr. Ji's words are so convincing, I'm afraid it's groundless, there must be a reason!
"follow me!"

Ji Lao took Gu Dan all the way around, and finally came to a locked door.

Take out the key, open the iron lock, and push the wooden door.

Everything is revealed in the eyes.

The things hidden in the house are not much different from the outside world, but it looks more complicated. In addition to books, there are also some broken ritual vessels.

The half-rotten bronze tripod, the quaint but half-missing clock, the blood-red Ruyi, the rough clay figurines made of mud, and the stone slabs stained by water stains.
Rather than saying that this is a library, it is more like a museum in a certain sense, and there are far more messy things than books.

These things are not absent outside, on the contrary, they are far more complete and complete than here.

But when Ji Lao looked at these dilapidated and seemingly indistinguishable collections, there was a trembling light in his eyes, as if looking at rare treasures, full of pride.

"I have spent nearly a hundred years finding these things from the vast sea of ​​ancient books and artifacts one by one!"

Ji Lao's tone was extremely proud, as if he had accomplished something extraordinary, and also like a child showing his treasures to his playmates, even his voice was trembling with excitement.

"Forgive my blindness, what's the difference between these things?" Gu Dan has no accomplishments in literary play, so naturally he can't see at a glance what is so strange about Mr. Ji's beloved things.

He put his eyes on the object closest to him. It looked like a sculpture in the shape of a tiger, but the tiger's mouth was wide open, and there was a handle above the body for people to lift it up.

Time has wiped away all the colors and patterns given to it by skilled craftsmen on this tiger sculpture, and the entire exterior is bare, with occasional traces of mud seeping into it.

If it is said that it is a long time, Gu Dan believes it, but where does the beauty of this thing come from?
Even a three-year-old child would not be interested in this thing!

Just as he was about to pick it up and observe it carefully, to see if he could recognize the pearl with his eyes, he suddenly heard a loud shout from Ji Lao.

"do not move!"

The sudden burst of shouting was completely caught off guard, and the true energy in Gu Dan's body almost showed itself due to stress, and he looked at Ji Lao with incomprehensible eyes.

You brought me here to see, why don't you let me touch it?

Then what do you show me!
"This thing is a little bit different."

Perhaps because he realized that his reaction was too violent, Ji Lao said apologetically, "And you probably don't want to touch it."

"Why?" Gu Dan was curious, could this thing still hurt the martial arts master?
Ji Lao shrugged and said, "That's a chamber pot."

Gu Dan: "???"

Gu Dan looked at Ji Lao with a completely incomprehensible gaze, and it was hard to imagine what kind of mental state he was in, treating a chamber pot as a precious and important collection, and placing it in his extremely precious collection openly in the room—and can say it.

"The important thing is not what it used to be, but what useful information can be traced through it. Besides, the person who uses it may have already become the soil under my feet. Why should I care about a certain period of time that is not too long?" What about its mission here? Right now, it is a priceless treasure!"

At this time, Ji Lao seemed to have become a philosopher. Under Gu Dan's puzzled eyes, Ji Laozhen picked up the tiger-shaped chamber pot and pointed the bottom at Gu Dan, "What did you see?" ?”

Gu Dan's face was dark, and he said in a bad tone: "I saw someone picked up the chamber pot and pointed it at me!"

"I want you to read the words at the bottom!" Ji Lao gritted his teeth.

"Oh?"

Gu Dan moved a little closer, and with his excellent eyesight, it was not difficult to see the handwriting engraved on the bottom of the tiger chamber pot. system."

"That's right, that's right!!!"

Elder Ji nodded excitedly, and repeated again, "Daqian 780 four years, made by Yong'an Kiln!"

He put down the chamber pot, and asked repeatedly: "Before this, have you heard of Dagan? Have you heard of the dynasty in 780? Have you heard of anything produced by Yong'an Kiln?"

Gu Dan shook his head.

"That's right! You see, the history of our world is very long! Very long, very long! The ancient books outside are only left by outstanding people for hundreds of years. But what is farther? Could it be that there is nothing left in the history where even books are hard to leave behind? How could we have come to this world suddenly?"

Mr. Ji kept talking, and it was obvious that he had wanted to say these words for a long time, and his tone was extremely excited, with excitement that couldn't be buried and pride that was about to come out.

Gu Dan looked at him quietly.

There are definitely not many people in this world who have the leisure, ability, and willingness to study these things, and it can even be said that they are very few.

For the vast majority of the people of Dayue, it is not easy to be able to eat enough. How can they have time to let their thoughts travel through hundreds of thousands of years and think about the traces of history?After much deliberation, can I have more dry buns in my hand?

Wealthier families can't afford antiques, and those who can afford antiques will focus on officialdom.
He was probably lonely for a long time and couldn't find anyone to tell, so he had such a desire to tell, like an old child who revealed a shocking secret, and finally found someone who could share his treasures, so he was not stingy with words, Craving for approval.

"So, what did you track down?"

Gu Dan didn't spoil his interest, and asked at an appropriate time.

"Isn't that enough?!"

Ji Lao pointed to the chamber pot, "You know the characters on it!!!"

Gu Dan was taken aback.

Suddenly, there was a trembling feeling that was hard to describe in words and spread all over the body. The consciousness beyond the body seemed to be suddenly awakened by a big stick, bringing the throbbing of the soul.

"Huh—you feel it? Don't you! You feel it too!"

Ji Lao looked at Gu Dan without blinking, and when he saw his reaction, he clapped his hands excitedly, "A relic left by an unknown dynasty has been buried in the ground for hundreds of thousands of years. They used the same language!"

Characters are different from other things and must be properly passed on.

The same words placed in different periods may have completely different meanings, but no matter how they are changed, those who use these words must undergo the same inheritance.

"Looking at the countries, no matter where you go, the diet and etiquette may be different, but the characters are at least [-]% similar. Occasionally, there are a few people who don't know each other. If you ask a few more questions, you will find that it is a typo! It's Da Qing, who is called Nanman, and their characters are almost the same as Da Yue's!"

Ji Lao spoke extremely fast, "But, don't forget. Even in Yuzhou, which is called the Central Plains, it takes more than ten days for the news to reach the imperial capital. The farthest Yuzhou even takes more than a month. Time! And whether it is Daqing, Dayue, Dayong, Daqi... or any other country you can find, they all use the same language!
Dare to ask, in this world, who has ever occupied such a large territory, occupied the real world, and stored things such as words in all parts of the world, so that no matter how far you go, you can still see familiar things? "

At this time, he was like a historian, researching a behemoth who had never met before but had an extremely profound influence on the real world.

Even though the colossal monster has disappeared without a trace, the legacy it left behind is still affecting the world every moment, becoming a tool for them to record everything.

Time wears away the marks of the past, but it cannot erase the inheritance of generations.

The years have no trace, and the mountains and rivers have a sound!
"A country that can control such a large territory and have an extremely far-reaching influence must have some way to maintain contact and rule that we don't know! Otherwise, it will inevitably fall apart, and how can the same language be passed down to this day?"

Ji Lao raised his head and looked at the roof, as if he had passed through the long river of time, overlooking the whole vast world in a small room, "It's a pity that I can't find it. It is obviously hidden in every aspect Among them, people are faintly aware of it, but they can't be shaken at all, it can only make people cry in vain!"

At this time, he seemed to have turned into a poet again, sighing and sighing, his eyes full of sorrow.

After listening for a long time, Gu Dan finally couldn't help asking: "What do these things have to do with the realm above the master you want to talk about?"

"Of course there is!"

Glaring at Gu Dan in dissatisfaction, Ji Lao pointed to the various things in the room, and said seriously: "These things prove that in a certain period of time that cannot be found, there must be something beyond our imagination. As a master of martial arts, there are few things in the world that can shake you, don't you want to explore the secrets of the world?"

Gu Dan understood a little.

Ji Lao himself is a martial arts master, and he is a martial arts master who has lived for nearly a hundred years.

If he wanted to, it couldn't be easier to obtain prosperity and wealth in the worldly sense.

But those things have lost their appeal to him. To put it simply, everything in the so-called mortal world has little meaning to a martial arts master.

Even if the country is in ruins, martial arts masters can still live well, and no one can't think of taking the initiative to provoke them.

As a matter of course, higher level pursuits will be in front of you.

But here comes the question, the martial arts master is already the limit, how can there be anything higher?

After reaching this realm, wait for death safely!Your life is over!

Maybe a year or two, or a decade or so is nothing, but after all the mundane trifles have been experienced, the martial arts master has to find something to do for himself, instead of waiting quietly to die.

Take care of your life?That's something that ordinary people only hope for if they can't wish for it.

For a martial arts master who always pursues the limit and has experienced great suffering and torture, waiting for death quietly is simply impossible!

"You are still too young, and you haven't experienced the vicissitudes of life, the helplessness and the inability to find a way out. Only the decline of energy and blood makes people tortured to a state of madness. In your opinion, I It seems to be whimsical, but when you live a few more decades, to my age, you will understand."

Ji Lao looked at Gu Dan with envy in his eyes, envious of his youth, but more of pity, pity that he would go through everything he had gone through.

Old friends are getting old, lovers are dying, and blood is decaying. Everything is moving away from me, even myself!

At that time, if there is nothing to support yourself, what is the point?

I chose to explore the way forward.

Mo Qiu chose the right way to help the danger.

Huang Chao chose to reshape the mountains and rivers.

The leader of the White Lotus Sect chose. Oh, he didn't choose, the White Lotus Sect has been rebelling all the time, old tradition.

All in all, every martial arts master has already stood at the pinnacle of the world, and in the rest of the time, he must find something for himself to do.

But now he has met such a young martial arts master, so young that he has not even had time to choose the direction of his future efforts.

That's why he wanted to take Gu Dan as his apprentice and inherit his ideas.

While it sounds strange for a martial arts master to take another martial arts master as his apprentice, why not?
The torch of the predecessors will eventually be handed over to the hands of future generations. It doesn't have to be material, but spiritual!

Just like a gigantic monster that has left enough traces in this small room but can no longer be touched, its past history has become the nourishment of countless countries today, and it is still being passed down from generation to generation.

Elder Ji, wants to hand over everything he has explored to this young man whom he met for the first time today.

This seems a bit reckless, but it is also honest enough.

He showed his discovery and inner expectations with a proud attitude, and hoped that Gu Dan could understand.

When a person's gaze transcends the small world around him, ambition will grow unstoppably.

He brought Gu Dan to read the thousand-year-old treasure, hoping that Gu Dan could feel the secret hidden in the vast world, which is more precious than any rare treasure.

It is enough for a martial arts master to devote his whole life to exploring something for a lifetime!

"Although I am very interested in what you said"

Gu Dan thought about his words, and didn't want to hit Xing Xing's head. He was as excited as a child, but he was clearly old and dying. "But why is it above the martial arts, and can't be a fairy? Spiritual stones will fall from the sky. Come on, why are you still pursuing the illusory innate path? Why don't you want to go one step further and become a fairy?"

Elder Ji tilted his head and laughed, "You want to cultivate immortality? Yes, this is not a conflict! But on the way you are trying to cultivate immortality, can you try the realm above the master? I really want to know , even if you burn it to me after you die!"
