Chapter 1368 Painless

Wu Nanming pondered for a while and said, "I don't think so. And I have always wanted to get in touch with Zhang Jian from the Brotherhood of the Holy Chapter to see how much they know about the secret of longevity. Maybe he can help me solve a mystery."

"Solve a mystery?" Fan Jiannan frowned, "What does Mr. Wu mean by mystery?"

Wu Nanming looked at them, sighed and said, "Come with me."

Fan Jiannan, Lin Zhongxiu and others were a little puzzled, but they still followed Wu Nanming to the back room.Wu Nanming pushed open the cabinet on the side of the study, revealing a door.After they walked in, they found that it was actually a hall.It's just that the entrance is so hidden that most people really can't see it.

There were a few people sitting around in the hall, staring at the coffee table in a daze.

"Master?" Lin Zhongxiu recognized that one of these people was Lin Ruogu.Lin Ruogu looked up at Lin Zhongxiu, and smiled slightly, "Axiu, why are you here?"

"Master, why did you leave without saying a word, we are all worried about you." Lin Zhongxiu stepped forward and pulled Lin Ruogu.

Lin Ruogu smiled slightly, "It's nothing, I thought I could go back in a few days, but I didn't know it took so long."

"Old ghost Lin, it's your turn." A man sitting on the sofa waved impatiently.This Fan Jiannan was dumbfounded, the man turned out to be his father Fan Jianqiang.

Lin Ruogu smiled wryly, "Forget it, I've lost this round."

Only then did Fan Jiannan realize that the two of them were playing Go, and he couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Dad, when did you like playing Go?"

"Jiannan, why are you here?" Fan Jianqiang was not happy when he saw his son, but instead slapped the table, pointed at Wu Nanming and shouted, "You old man, you said that my son is not involved. Why do you You brought him here again?" Fan Qiangqiang had a violent personality, and even Wu Nanming wanted to give him some credit.

So Wu Nanming immediately went up and explained, "It's not what you imagined, it's just that you left a little suddenly, they are a little worried, so come and have a look."

"Just like that?" Fan Jianqiang frowned.

"Do I have to lie to you?" Wu Nanming smiled wryly, "They just arrived today, and they found Longma a few days ago."

"Yellow River Dragon Horse? So you got the River Map?" Fan Jianqiang was slightly taken aback, his eyes flickering authentically.

Wu Nanming shook his head and said, "No, this thing was taken away shortly after it was found. However, it proved our previous inference that the so-called Yellow River Dragon Horse is indeed a piece of meteorite. It is a pity that we failed to take it with us. return."

Lin Ruogu was surprised, "So this river map fell into the hands of others?"

Wu Nanming nodded, "Yes, that's why things got complicated."

Fan Jiannan waved his hand and said, "Wait, you wait first. Can I ask a few questions first? Mr. Wu, you asked them to come here. You seem to have never told us why. But since we have come today , do you want to continue to hide it?"

Wu Nanming smiled wryly, "I'm just trying to tell you." He raised his hand and said, "Sit down. This may be a long story."

Fan Jiannan looked at Long Bold and the others, and simply sat on the sofa and waited for Wu Nanming to continue.

Wu Nanming was silent for a while and said, "Everyone must know my identity, so I won't hide it anymore. You are the person Wu Nanming trusts the most when you come here. This matter depends on my situation at the time. Let's talk about it."

He paused and said, "When you look at me now, you will find it somewhat weird and incredible. I can also understand your thoughts, after all, my life span is somewhat beyond common sense. But what I want to say is that I was just like you at the beginning. It's just an ordinary spellcaster. Even when I was your age, my spellcasting ability was not as good as anyone here."

"Is it because of the secret of longevity?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Yes. But the secret of longevity, we only brought it up later, and there was no such idea at that time." Wu Nanming sighed, "The corruption at the end of the Yuan Dynasty squeezed the people, and the Han and southern people under the Mongolian rule were untouchables. I am a so-called Southerner. It was the period of peasant uprisings at the end of Yuan Dynasty.

There is a widely circulated saying in the society that "the birth of King Ming will save all living beings", and the White Lotus Sect in the north is also carrying out the same propaganda.

Dingyuan Guo Zixing joined forces with Sun Deya and others to raise troops in the Dingyuan and Zhongli areas, and tens of thousands of people responded.Gather people to burn incense and become the leader of the local White Lotus Society.I was young and I became one of them. "

"Are you a member of the White Lotus Sect?" Fan Jiannan asked in surprise.

"Yes, although the White Lotus Sect originated from Buddhism, it has always been the product of the fusion of Buddhism and Taoism. It is the magicians who really play a role. Strictly speaking, they should be witchcraft. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, among the rebels everywhere, In fact, there are all the influence of the magicians." Wu Nanming said slowly, "The White Lotus sect I belong to has passed down a secret technique, but it is extremely difficult and mysterious, and no one can understand it. Even the most famous at that time It is said that Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, the sorcerers, have not been able to penetrate."

"Then how did you learn it?" Long Bold couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know. It was a time of war. There were dead people every day, and the practitioners didn't have the time to study mysteries. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the world and banned the White Lotus Sect. A large number of believers were killed. The White Lotus Sect I belonged to So they broke up. I fled back to the south of the Yangtze River with Li Zhengkui, the leader at that time, and lived in a hut by the Songjiang River. Not long after the leader died, I got some items left by the leader, including There are fragments of the secret of longevity that no one has ever mastered." Wu Nanming said with a smile.

"I face learning and practicing practice every day, and I don't know if it is right or not. On the contrary, I have gained certain benefits. I have become longer and my appearance has not changed. But the price of this benefit is also amazing. Every day I live in the In extreme pain. I never thought that the price of this secret of longevity would be the endless pain of the body." Wu Nanming said slowly, "I finally know why no one can practice this secret of longevity, because there is no Humans can bear such pain."

"Indeed, I've seen Zhang Jian's body. His internal organs have almost reached the verge of failure, and they are deteriorating every day like cancer cells, but they are regenerated and repaired every day. It's like a prisoner imprisoned in Greek mythology. Prometheus. A hungry eagle comes to peck at his liver every day, and his liver always grows back. This kind of pain is almost endless. Then how do you persevere?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"It's very simple. I have a disease. I have suffered from a rare disease since I was a child. My brain has a poor connection on both sides. The modern medical community calls it Dysplasia of the Corpus Callosum. Simply put, I don't feel pain." Wu Nanming Slowly and authentically.

Fan Jiannan said in amazement, "Is there still such a disease?"

Long boldly said in surprise, "It's called CIP, and it's a congenital painless disease. It's an extremely rare case, and there are currently no more than a hundred cases in the world."

Wu Nanming nodded and said, "Probably, I can indeed feel some pain, but it's 30-50 times lower than that of ordinary people. For example, when we shake hands, the feeling is not much different from my hand holding a charcoal fire. "

"That's right. This is congenital analgesia, or analgesia." Long nodded boldly.

"Perhaps it is this that allowed me to check it out under the circumstances that ordinary people could not persist, but I can be sure that the secret of longevity I have learned is a very abnormal witchcraft, at least an extremely imperfect one. Witchcraft." Wu Nanming said seriously.

Long Boldly thought about it and said, "I probably understand the problem of this secret of longevity. This kind of witchcraft is like the human body is in an out-of-control cycle. The new metabolism is running at a high speed, and the cells are constantly changing. Necrotic, and constantly reborn. And then reached a certain balance in the extreme pain. It looks like it is really immortal."

Fan Jiannan frowned and looked at Long Boldly and said, "Is this really possible?"

"It's hard to say." Long boldly shook his head and said, "But if we look at it from the perspective of cells, then we are constantly dying and being reborn every moment."

Fan Jiannan shrugged and said, "It seems very professional, but unfortunately I'm not a doctor. So can I ask you now, why did you call my father here?"

"I'm seeking their help." Wu Nanming said, "After so many years, I have finally compiled the secret of longevity I have learned into a systematic witchcraft. I would like to ask them to look at this from their own perspectives. What is the problem with the secret of longevity, or where is the problem?"

"You are looking for them to study the secret of longevity?" Fan Jiannan said in surprise, "But why are they?"

"Because they are the only people I trust, and I also believe that they will not reveal the secret of longevity." Wu Nanming frowned, "Because if this thing is leaked, what kind of trouble will it cause? It's also unpredictable."

"Of course, immortality is the ultimate dream of mankind. Everyone would want to try it." Long boldly blurted out. "Even if it's a pseudo-longevity."

"Fake longevity?" Wu Nanming frowned.

"Yes, this is Zhang Jian's evaluation of himself, and his situation is almost exactly the same as yours." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "I feel that your secret of longevity probably comes from the same source."

"Ancient witchcraft." Fan Jianqiang said slowly, "Ancient witchcraft is the source of all spells, and naturally it is also the source of this secret of longevity."

"Then you have been here these days, have you found any answers?" Long boldly whispered.

Lin Ruogu smiled bitterly, "It would be great if we found out something. It's a pity that we have been here for almost a month, and we haven't realized anything. Instead, we are arguing every day."

"Arguing every day?" Feng Yuan asked a little strangely, "What are you arguing about?"

"Of course it's about this witchcraft. We have different opinions and debate almost every day. The secret of longevity has been tossed out by us in three completely different versions." Lin Ruogu smiled wryly. .

"How could this be?" Fan Jiannan asked in astonishment.

"Because the so-called secret book of longevity is like a book or a manuscript. The three of us will translate it. As a result, due to the different opinions and understandings of each person, the cognition of the secret of longevity is also different. Many times we There are serious differences between them. No one can convince the other, but everyone wants to try their best to convince the other. So there are three different explanations." Luo Sihai, who has not opened his mouth, said slowly.

"Just like Shakespeare's Hamlet, a thousand viewers have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts. Or like the Chinese Dream of Red Mansions, Yi scholars see shallowness; Taoists see obscenity; Neo Confucianists see inversion; philosophers What you see is chaos; rhythm scholars see chaos; writers see fullness; sociologists see shortness. Everyone feels differently depending on their standpoint." Feng Yuan said hastily.

"It seems to be like this." Lin Ruogu said helplessly, "What's terrible is that the views of the three of us are also different from Mr. Wu Nanming's. So we originally agreed to study together, but in the end we just talked about it. Mr. Fan made a fuss. the worst."

"What makes me the most troublesome? There are many problems, and your theory has no reasonable explanation at all. And you can't refute the explanation I gave. In this case, why do you think you are correct, and I am Wrong?" Fan Jianqiang said unceremoniously, "Is it because you are good-looking?"

Lin Ruogu shook his head helplessly, and stopped talking.Indeed, as Fan Qiangqiang said, Lin Ruogu himself knew that he was not as good as Fan Qiangqiang in many ways.But he had an intuition that Fan Jianqiang and Luo Sihai's understanding was wrong.So the three of them have gotten together and questioned and argued with each other for several days.

As a result, not only did the question not become more and more clear, but it became more cloudy, and even they themselves were a little confused.That's why Fan Jianqiang proposed to play chess with Lin Ruogu to slow down the thoughts in his mind.

Fan Jiannan looked at Wu Nanming and frowned, "Mr. Wu, are you just watching them arguing like this?"

Wu Nanming smiled wryly, "I wanted them to reach a consensus, but unfortunately they ignored me at all. In their eyes, I was another dissident. They even opposed me even more."

"Why is this so? Even if it is ancient Chinese, it is easy to cause ambiguity, but it is impossible for everyone to be different." Lin Zhongxiu asked incredulously.

"You're very good." Wu Nanming smiled, "But there is a problem. The so-called secret of longevity is not a book, nor is it a book with precise expressions."

"The secret of longevity is not a book? Then what is it?" Fan Jiannan asked curiously.

Wu Nanming turned on the light in the room and removed the chessboard from the coffee table.Only then did everyone see that there was something on the coffee table, but it was covered by the board where Fan Jianqiang and Lin Ruogu were playing chess, so no one noticed.Fan Jiannan was startled, and murmured, "Is this the secret of longevity?"
