Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 12: Journey of Changsheng, Qin Changye in history!

Hu Xianyong clenched his fists and said, "Master, I obey your orders!"

He retreated slowly.

The head of the Lu family stayed where he was. After a while, he came to the stone table next to him and sat down, then picked up a book on the stone table.

He found this book recently.

And I have been watching it all the time,
The title of the book...
It is called, [Travels of Changsheng].

The author is just one word: Qin.

The Lu family spent a lot of resources to obtain this book from a mysterious person, and the head of the Lu family regards it as a treasure.

He picked up the book, really picked it up.

His eyes were full of respect.

Subsequently.

I slowly opened it and began to read the travelogue of my ancestor named "Qin".

[May 5, I woke up today. I felt like I was dead, but also like I wasn’t dead.]

[My mind is extremely confused. I should have died on the battlefield during the Shang Dynasty and was praised as a demon master by Ji Fa. Was that just a dream? But everything around me is unfamiliar, and the area is full of primitiveness, which proves that I seem to be still in ancient times.]

……

[On May 5, I met a child who looked quite sad. Perhaps he saw me who had just woken up in his eyes, so I went to talk to him.]

[I didn’t expect that he looked quite cold on the outside, but he was actually very warm-hearted. Seeing that I was in rags, he asked me if I was okay, offered me food and drinks, and ran around with such energy that I could not help but talk about the vitality of youth. It was so beautiful….this beautiful youth.]

[Although I am still young, my heart seems to be old and frail. Everything...cannot go back to the way it was, whether it is modern society or my mentality.]

……

[May 5st, I didn't expect that the child was named Ying Zheng. The appearance of that child means that... I, who was supposed to die in the Shang Dynasty, woke up in the Qin Dynasty. Several hundred years have passed, but I... still look like I did in the Shang Dynasty.]

[It's incredible, but also worth studying. What's wrong with my body? At present, I only know that I won't age, but I don't know whether I will die or not.]

[Regarding death, I won’t take it too seriously. After all, no one would joke about their own life.]

……

[June 6, after spending half a month together, Ying Zheng seemed to be impressed by my knowledge. He said he had never seen the sea and didn’t know what the country on the other side of the sea was.]

[I told him I was joking, but the little guy didn't believe me. He said a person's eyes can represent everything, and he could tell from my eyes that I was not lying.]

[Hahaha, I have to admit, this kid... does have a sharp eye.]

……

[On July 7, I arrived in Zhao State with the child. He said that he came to Zhao State to suffer hardships, and I didn't need to follow him. Moreover, coming to Zhao State also means coming to the city. With my ability, I can live well in Zhao State.]

[I told him, no, I want to suffer a little.]

[Well, actually I just want to follow him, but I am too shy to say it out loud. And if I say it out loud, how can I still maintain the image of being all-knowing and unruly in the eyes of Ying Zheng?]

[Ah~ Damn face, I am already old, but I still care so much about face. ]

.........

[On July 7, the people of Zhao did not welcome him. Although they had won the war with Qin, many family members of Zhao people died in that war.]

[Ying Zheng came as a messenger. They regarded him as the culprit of the Qin State, glared at him, and threw stones at him. He was very scared.]

[This child... has a promising future, but he is still just a child. I can see fear in his eyes. I have thick skin and flesh, so I protected him and endured the stones.]

[Those stones thrown at me don't hurt, not at all. Uh... well, although my body has a strong ability to heal itself, those stones still hurt a lot. I have to apply some medicine today.]

……

[August 8, today the way the child and I address each other has changed. He wants me to be his teacher. Family members know their own business. What real ability do I have? I am just a bad adult who often deceives him. ] [But… seeing that he has no relatives in Zhao State, I finally agreed. At the same time, I am completely sure that I will protect the child from now on! At least for this period of time! ]

[I am good at martial arts, and I can help Ying Zheng, the kid, to block a lot of malicious intent from the State of Zhao, even... the ancient version of school bullying.]

……

[September 9, he is very smart, and he can memorize a lot of the knowledge of the academy in one recitation, but he kept it to himself and didn't say anything. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. This is what he said, and he only told this to me and his mother, Queen Zhao Ji.]

[I seem to have gained the child's trust in all aspects.]

……

The first chapter of Changsheng’s travelogue ends here.

Patriarch Lu watched and watched.

He was like watching his own story, extremely obsessed.

of course,

He knew that he was not the protagonist of this book.

It is not even certain whether this protagonist exists in this world.

But he believed, and even wanted to believe at all costs, that this protagonist really existed!
Because that means.

Immortality really exists!!
In the book,

In some places, there are descriptions of methods of practicing to achieve longevity.

Patriarch Lu meditated according to the method a few days ago, and he was shocked to find that everything was exactly the same as the experience of the protagonist in the book.

After that meditation, he found that his body became better and even his steps became lighter.

The method of practicing to achieve longevity is real.

Moreover, another important character in the book, Ying Zheng, also existed in history.

The content of this first article is actually a record of Ying Zheng's trip to the State of Zhao.

after this,

The head of the Lu family continued to search for historical files about Ying Zheng.

But found that
During Ying Zheng's trip to Zhao State, the protagonist of the book did not appear.

but!
He found some clues!
because,

He searched historical files with tinted glasses to look at Ying Zheng's trip to Zhao State. Where was the protagonist "Qin" in the book?
So even though "Qin" does not appear in historical files, many places seem very rigid.

It’s like... in those files, everyone tried their best to erase the existence of one person, making the entire file look incomplete.

And if we combine this Changsheng Travel Notes with the situation and choices of "Qin", we can put them into those files.

Then you will find that

In the files of Ying Zheng's time in Zhao State, there are some decisions that have no root cause. For example, he was studying one moment and ran out to pick vegetables the next. These seemingly strange and unreasonable changes became traceable because of the existence of "Qin".

The reason for this,

That’s because “Qin” took Ying Zheng to pick vegetables.

This is how that period of time was written in Changsheng's Travels.

In the historical archives,

There was only Ying Zheng there. He suddenly stopped studying and ran out to pick vegetables the next moment.

No reason, no root cause.
