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

Chapter 237
Xu Zhian is still getting old.

In the last days of life, I have never experienced any disasters, nor have I been tortured by illness.

It's just like those things that all mortals have to go through, without exception.

There seem to be only two major events in a person's life.

One is born, ignorant.

One is death, muddled.

Weeping loudly in a daze, wanting to cry without tears.

After all, it is an event in the world, and it will not be seen in this life.

Gu Dan seemed so silent.

He stood there silently, like a static sculpture.

He couldn't hear the noise from outside.

Xu Zhian was the first person he saw after waking up.

He has always been his elder.

After so many years, Xu Zhian has always taken good care of him. Whether it is marriage or personal future, there are traces of Xu Zhian's hard work.

Gu Dan also treated Xu Zhian like his elders.

But in the last few years of Xu Zhian's life, Gu Dan often wouldn't stay in the small courtyard.

Perhaps, even he himself couldn't express his feelings clearly.

After all, he really wanted to cure illnesses and save lives quickly, accumulate life energy, and look forward to the promotion of the next stage of Qingmu Huasheng Jue to increase life energy in a real sense.

Or is the most familiar person around fear, who is irresistibly growing old day by day, until the end of death, so they have to find an excuse to leave, and dare not witness it with their own eyes?
He couldn't tell.

Probably this is the sorrow of the immortals.

It is said that the cruelest thing in the world is when a white-haired person sends a black-haired person.

But if the black-haired people give the white-haired people all the time, how should we tell them?

Since then, Gu Dan has no elders.

No one can reprimand him unreasonably, no one can reprimand him savagely, no one can teach him unreasonably.

But Gu Dan was not happy.

The original thread that anchored the world, wrapped around him, was broken.

What is life?
Can't ask for it.

Can it be any more painful?
Gain and lose.

Can there be the most bitter?
Lonely.

He has finally become someone else's elder, and he will never have his own elder again.

Gu Dan hugged Cang from Xu Zhian's arms, and asked Xun Ke to look after Xiaoying, who was in pain and almost collapsed.

He didn't say anything, he seemed so calm, as calm as a puppet.

The dead are dead, and the living must continue to live hard.

During the last period of his life, Xu Zhian was happy most of the time.

Calculated in terms of longevity, Xu Zhian's age can be regarded as happy and mourning.

This is also an old man who has spanned two countries and three dynasties!

I have experienced ups and downs, and there are not so many magnificent poems worthy of praise. Just like most old people in this era, they form a part of this world.

Xu Zhian's funeral was very simple.

But the people who come have a lot of weight.

Gu Dan, Wang Mang, Qin Lisheng, Gong Shangguo, Xun Ke, Cang, Xiaoying... the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, his most trusted ministers, and those who he loved and loved him before his death were all here.

There is also a person Gu Dan is not familiar with, most of them are people who have heard of it.

Xu Zhian's son.

It was a businessman who was doing business after Xu Zhian passed away.

It was Wang Mang who sent someone to hurry up and catch him back.

Facing the news of Xu Zhian's death, he didn't look so sad, he just kept silent for a while, and said: "He always thought that I was not doing business properly, and we have a bad relationship, and we quarreled when we got home."

But in the mourning hall, Xu Zhian's son still couldn't stop his tears.

He will always have one less person who can reprimand him for being unreasonable.

Mourning, burial.

Xu Zhian returned to the ancestral land of the Xu family.

In the small courtyard of the Gu family, there will always be one person missing.

And never come back.

Gu Dan has experienced the death of many people around him.

Whether consciously or unconsciously.

The initial imperial physicians Ling Pang Qi, Imperial Physician Lin, later Ding Ji, and then Lin Xiaoyi, some of them were close friends, some were not very familiar, some were angered, some were persecuted, and some chose actively.

And this is indeed the first time to personally experience the death of a familiar person.

It seemed so helpless and irresistible.

Perhaps it is for this reason that many people like the elusive immortal way.

Immortal, immortal.

You don't have to face that horrible death anymore, as long as you can set foot on the immortal way, even your relatives and friends can prolong their lives. Even if you can't walk to the end, you can spend many years with you.

Time never stops.

No matter who dies or who is born, the unseen torrential river washes over everyone without leaving any room.

Xia Dynasty seven years.

Nothing major happened, but one person came back.

Qing Pingzi.

This old guy who also spanned two countries and three dynasties and was about the same age as Xu Zhian still looked healthy and full of vitality.

The 20-year-old Shouyuan, a master of martial arts, has the skills to maintain his health. At this age, he can be a grandfather. The difference from decades ago is not too big, but he is more mature and stable. They exude strong self-confidence.

"That bone is not simple, it really is not simple!"

In the small courtyard of Gu's family, Qing Pingzi who came back sighed so much.

He asked himself that his knowledge was extremely rich, and he was even quite familiar with the unattainable and invisible immortal way.

But when it comes to the things of immortality, it still makes people feel that the knowledge in their minds is not enough.

"Ok?"

Gu Dan looked back calmly.

Qing Pingzi was also secretly looking at Gu Dan.

Over the past few years, the first feeling when I came back is that Gu Dan has become younger again!
Yes, young!
It's as young as the time when we chatted in front of the small courtyard of the Gu family!
It's just that Gu Dan had to work hard to deal with him at that time, but now the order is changed.

The person leading this conversation is no longer Qing Pingzi, but Gu Dan.

Same place, same people, different years, bring completely different results.

'Is this guy going to break through again? ! '

Qing Pingzi was secretly startled. Those who are used to caring for fear may not have noticed it, but since he hasn't seen him for several years, he naturally feels more deeply.

He himself just doesn't look old, but his blood doesn't lie.

Now the qi and blood in the body are no longer in the state of fullness and excitement.

But when he observed Gu Dan by himself, it was as if he was observing a bottomless pool, no matter how much he looked at it, he couldn't find out.

You are already invincible in this world, and you are so advanced, you really don't leave a way for future generations to survive!

"I found some clues about the bone that has the blood of the witch."

Qing Pingzi didn't talk nonsense, and explained the purpose of coming simply and directly.

After so many years of research, it is impossible to fail to produce decent results all the time.

"Say."

Gu Dan said concisely.

"The blood energy in that bone is different from that of the warrior. Rather than saying that the warrior's blood energy resonates with it, it is better to say that it is inspired by his blood energy and forced to synchronize with it. It is also in this process that it breaks the sympathy of the five elements. The blockade will give birth to a new pseudo-grandmaster."

Qing Pingzi's expression became solemn, and his attitude was extremely correct when it came to professional matters, "But this kind of inspiration comes at a price. Those pseudo-grandmasters will slowly move closer to the blood in their bones, and they will be restricted. And with the The time to be inspired will be longer, and the body will tend to change with the energy and blood that does not belong to the human body!"

"I already knew this before."

Gu Dan said without changing his expression.

Dayong's grand master named Qin Chuancheng succeeded in passing the grand master's longevity limit by virtue of this method, but the price was that he couldn't leave that bone for too long.

If it was just this kind of discovery, it would have no effect on him, and it was not worthwhile for Qing Pingzi to come back to tell him about this kind of thing.

"hey-hey."

Qing Pingzi chuckled twice, and said with a little pride on his face: "But I found a method that can greatly slow down the synchronization of its Qi and blood!"

"Oh?"

This time, Gu Dan finally became a little interested, "Tell me in detail."

"This method was inspired by Qin Chuancheng. To be precise, it is because of you."

Qing Pingzi said: "A long time ago, Dayong tried to let Grandmaster use that bone to reach the realm above Grandmaster. But all attempts ended in failure, and there was no possibility of success. Moreover, Grandmaster cannot It is considered a consumable, and if a real grandmaster dies because of this kind of attempt, no matter which country it is, it will be extremely painful.

Until your appearance made Dayong feel this way again. "

This is not surprising.

Regardless of whether Gu Dan showed strong aggressiveness or not, his existence itself was a kind of oppression for the emperors of the four countries.

Even if this kind of oppression can make the people in their country live better, but they themselves are tired of living!
The mountain is there, if you don't go over the mountain, the mountain will crush you!
In order to get rid of this predicament, countries will definitely think of various methods and try to take shortcuts. It would be great if they succeeded, and there would be no big loss if they failed.

No.1 in the current world should have suffered enough challenges, and being set as a target out of nothing is perfectly normal.

What's more, because of Gu Dan's method of surpassing the master, the master is not so important.

Because of this, Dayong discussed with his grandmaster who was willing to try, and restarted the method of using that bone to try to hit the grandmaster.

Qing Pingzi watched the whole process.

To a certain extent, he is Gu Dan's eyeliner, and Dayong dared to do this, which is quite courageous.

"The final result, of course, was a failure. Not only did one master die, but several others were seriously injured."

Qing Pingzi shrugged and said indifferently.

That is to say, Dayong, who had mass-produced Grandmasters in the past, was able to cause this level of loss to Grandmasters.

"But it's not completely fruitless. I found that the Grandmaster can actually rely on his own blood to forcibly fight against the blood contained in the bones, pull a very small part into his body, and then immediately cut off the connection, and then through special methods Refining it forcibly, or in other words, annexing it!"

Qing Pingzi stretched out his palm. His left hand had been hidden in his sleeve when he was speaking before, and it was only revealed now.

Gu Dan looked intently, and it was not difficult to find that Qing Pingzi's left hand showed an abnormal dark red color, especially the index finger, which seemed to be branded with a branding iron, and the dark red was all over the place.

Qing Pingzi looked left and right, picked up a stone at random, stretched out his left index finger, and inserted it effortlessly—without using his true energy!
Grandmaster's physical body is extremely strong, not inferior to refined iron.

But this kind of tyranny has many aspects, and the word sharp does not include it.

The change of Qing Pingzi's index finger no longer belongs to the category of martial arts masters.

It is the authority stolen from that bone.

"The current discoveries are only these, and the time is too short. There are some gains, but the gains are not big enough."

Qing Pingzi had nothing to hide, and he was very open-minded.

Inserting a solid stone with a finger may be a joy for ordinary people, but it is the same for martial arts masters.

Not to mention the Gu Dan above the master, it can't be said that it is useless, it can only be said that it is tasteless to eat.

But this represents a start.

The changes produced now are not big enough, what if we continue to study and succeed?

At least for these seven years, he definitely didn't waste it, did he?

"According to your consumption, how long can that bone last?"

Gu Dan is thoughtful, but he does not value this method of drawing strength from external objects, but a higher level of thinking.

"It would take at least hundreds of masters to consume all of them, right?"

Qing Pingzi said without hesitation.

"Thousands of Masters"

Gu Dan couldn't help being silent.

That's just a bone.

Even according to Qing Pingzi's judgment, the owner of that bone was only close to the Nascent Soul, so the strength of such a bone, which is not even a remnant body, is enough to consume thousands of masters.

How strong should the real owner of that bone be when he was alive?

I'm afraid that under the golden core, they are really just ants, and they don't even have the qualifications to fight.

This is already an absolutely crushing level of strength, beyond the imagination of ordinary dust.

"The crossing of every realm of immortality represents an earth-shaking transformation. Don't forget that behind every realm, there is a continuation of a broken road. The so-called pass is also caused by the fact that this continuation is not natural enough. , so every leap is a great improvement."

Xu saw Gu Dan's thoughts, and Qing Pingzi said again: "Don't look at the immortal way with the eyes of the mortal. Except for the master of martial arts, all the realms in the mortal world are just a name set by mortals for themselves, and they cannot be regarded as realms at all. Come and see."

Any martial artist, visceral practitioner, or visceral master, who is not a master, can only be said to be an ordinary person.

Grandmaster is a real realm, and it is the first leap in one's own strength.

But unfortunately, in the mortal world, this first leap is already the last leap, completely stuck there, with no way forward.

Trying to figure out the level of immortality with the combat power of a master is like a frog at the bottom of a well.

"But we are very lucky. The Immortal has already released a signal to return. Maybe after a while, the Immortal will return. At that time, we can still climb the road ahead!"

There was no trace of frustration on Qing Pingzi's face.

The grandmasters in this era are very unfortunate, because there is an existence above their grandmasters; but the grandmasters in this era are also very lucky, they have the opportunity to no longer waste their time, as long as the immortals return and open the blockage of spiritual energy , They can also use the strength of a fast person to climb the immortal way!
"Isn't there a certain number for the return of the immortal?"

Gu Dan asked.

He refused to show his face, and even deliberately hid his name because of the unresolved return of the immortal.

Although this matter has always been Qing Pingzi's one-sidedness, but Gu Dan also experienced it personally when the stars fell at night.

Naturally, I would rather believe in its existence than in its non-existence.

He can't bet.

"Who can know the thoughts of the immortal?"

Qing Pingzi said helplessly: "For mortals, ten years or twenty years is almost the time of one generation. But for immortals who have achieved success in cultivation, one or two hundred years is also common, and cannot be measured by the world."

Again, the immortal way is different from the mortal world.

The same is true for the concept of time.

In 20 years, for a strong person who has achieved immortality, he may have just successfully practiced a powerful magical technique, and this time is placed in the mortal world, enough for a babbling baby to become the father of the child.

But whether it takes ten or twenty years, or two hundred or three hundred years, or even a thousand years, Gu Dan can definitely wait for it.

In order to avoid being exposed to the eyes of those gods who are so powerful that they can't even imagine, Gu Dan must be low-key enough.

The more time goes by, the more so.

The falling of the boulder is not terrible, what is terrible is that before the fall, the uncertain time is the most cautious time.

If the immortal has escaped the ordeal of his own death, he will inevitably have to face other troubles by himself. This is also a kind of helplessness to be thankful for, and there is nothing to complain about.

After all, this kind of helplessness is definitely what everyone wants, but they can't ask for it.

"I see."

Gu Dan nodded slightly, not surprised.

If the immortal came here now, he would definitely run away on the spot.

Because the influence he caused was far from eliminated from the mortal world, it would be a good thing not to come at this time.

Time will wash away the traces left by him, and those who have surrendered and remembered him will also be lost in time, leaving only a colorful corner of light and shadow on some paper, and the immortal will probably not be so boring.

"By the way, I heard one more thing."

Qing Pingzi said cautiously: "That elder of yours has passed away?"

The past is brought up again.

Gu Dan nodded lightly, but did not speak.

He was not surprised that Qing Pingzi could receive the news.

The Four Kingdoms have never let up on his attention. Although they dare not send people over to monitor him, it is absolutely indispensable to send people to inquire about him.

The royal families of the Four Kingdoms wished to know what he ate every day, for fear that the Lord would eat something that was not to their liking, so they would find an excuse to deal with them.

Although Xu Zhian's funeral was not much publicized, the people present were very important, and the spies would report back if they were not blind.

"There is a popular saying among low-level monks in the immortal way, which is called cutting off the fate of the world."

Qing Pingzi thought about it and said: "The so-called cutting off does not mean to ignore it or turn a deaf ear to it. On the contrary, these words mean to complete the desires left in the mortal world, and from then on When everything is done, the mortal has nothing to attract his mind, and he begins to climb the immortal way wholeheartedly.

After all, once you set foot on the path of cultivation, you and the mortal world are two worlds.Even in terms of longevity, when practitioners are rising steadily, the old people left in the mortal world are probably all dead bones in the grave, and they must be able to afford it and let it go. "

Affordable, put it down.

The simple six words are really easy to say.

"Moreover, with the improvement of one's own strength, the vision is also very different. Martial arts masters look at ordinary people, and they are almost no longer the same kind of people."

Qing Pingzi reminded: "In terms of your strength, I'm afraid it's even worse."

The improvement of strength will indeed bring a different feeling.

At least for Gu Dan, no matter how beautiful a woman is in the world at this time, she is just like that, just a skin.

Pink Skull, literally.

This is a very scary thing.

With the improvement of strength, people from the same source gradually become invisible, and even have no intersection.

It is not difficult to understand why the group of guys at the upper level of the immortal way do not allow the world to live too well.

On the one hand, if the mortals live too well, it will inevitably lead to more people who seek immortality and ask questions, which will cause trouble for themselves; on the other hand, in their eyes, people probably can't be counted as people, at least they are definitely not their kind.

"what."

Gu Dan just smiled, without nodding or shaking his head.

After those people cut off the mortal ties, they are embracing their own kind, people who have the same pursuit, where can they embrace them?

I am already in the mortal world, how can I cut off the mortal world?
What's more, there is no need for him to kill himself.

Time itself is cutting flesh with a slow knife until it turns into a fatal blow.

I didn't notice it at the beginning, but it never stopped.

"Just as long as you understand what I mean."

Naturally, Qing Pingzi also knew that there was no immortal way to explore now, so he just expressed his attitude.

After all, it is normal for mortals to play with mortals, and grandmasters to play with grandmasters.

Forced to fall into the mortal world, only oneself will be injured, this is a subtle consolation.

It is naturally inconvenient for people who have already met before to say something, but from now on, don't make yourself uncomfortable.

For example, he never considered the people in the mortal world. When Emperor Zong Ming was in power, he only cared about achieving his own goals, and he didn't care about how the mortal world was going.

But Gu Dan is not the kind of person who doesn't care about everything until he achieves his goal.

Chickens talk to ducks, and it is doomed to fail.

"I'll go back first, maybe I can research something else."

After a short narration, Qing Pingzi took his leave and left.

He is still full of hope now, for that bone, for the immortal who will return.

In the small courtyard of the Gu family, Gu Dan himself was left again.

Cang went to the Sutra Pavilion in the palace to study with Xun Ke.

Xiaoying's medical skills have been effective, and she often goes out for consultations and rarely comes back.

In the small courtyard of the Gu family, on the contrary, Gu Dan, who used to go out often, will stay here and watch everything in the courtyard silently.

Sometimes I think about it, but more often, I don't think about anything.

Occasionally, he seemed to hear a few words from an old friend floating in front of familiar things.

There is a wind blowing between heaven and earth.

Gu Dan held the scriptures in his hand and silently flipped through them.

The small window lies high, and the wind shows the remaining books.
