Are you really not behind the scenes?

When Old Man Qin was shouted at, he curled his lips and muttered, "If you don't say it, don't say it. Why are you so cruel?" Then he closed his eyes and waited patiently.

As a person in power, calmness and patience are one of the necessary abilities. Even if the mountain collapses, you must have the courage and perseverance to remain calm and your heart will not beat. Therefore, even now, everyone is eager to get the news, but... Still waiting patiently.

The old people in the conference room were waiting patiently for something to happen. Old Man Hai... The general who set off with two soldiers finally arrived at his destination after climbing a long mountain road.

Although it is said to be very long, I don't know if it is because this is the blessed land of immortals, so the old man still feels energetic and not tired after walking an unknown distance.

He once again felt a little surprised and surprised by the immortal's methods.

However, when he arrived at his destination and saw the thing in front of him...the swaying flower, his eyes couldn't help but widen and his breathing stopped!

Chapter 351 The temptation of immortality

The place where the old man arrived was a mountain valley... No, it was more of a basin than a valley.

There are mountains on all sides, but this is the only way he came.

In this basin, there is a passage through the depths, surrounded by green trees, which is lush and makes people feel happy. When the old man walks in here, he can't help but be attracted by these green trees.

However, what really made the old man forget to even breathe was the lotus swaying quietly among the lotus ponds at the end of this road!

The moment he saw this lotus, the old man realized that it was a treasure, a treasure that could make people immortal!

The lotus swayed quietly, fluttering in the clouds and mist. The blooming petals moved with an indescribable softness, looking like a fairy dancing in a fairyland.

But it is this fairy-like lotus that gives people an indescribable and unbearable temptation.

——Longevity!

Throughout the ages, countless people have longed to live, and countless people are unwilling to die like this. Whether they are talented emperors or ordinary hawkers, no one wants to die if they can live.

In order to seek immortality, the First Emperor, who founded the monarchy in 2000 and has been surpassed by no one to this day, sent people east to find islands and work hard for the people.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who displayed the style of the Han family and made the word "Han" forever engraved in everyone's bones, went to Penglai in person to seek immortality, which shocked the whole country.

Even in more ancient times, there was a group of people who worked tirelessly to pursue immortality.

People's yearning for immortality and immortality has existed since ancient times, and no one can change it.

This may also be related to the fact that some people do not want to die and have the most simple idea of ​​​​wanting to live.

Even Peng Zu, who was said to have lived for 800 years, regretted why he had thrown away some of the chicken feathers when he was about to die. If he had not thrown away those chicken feathers, he could have continued to live. If we live a few hundred more years, we may even see the establishment of the Qin Dynasty.

This shows how tempting immortality is.

Everyone in the world says that immortality will make you extremely lonely and without desires and desires. But if immortality is really in front of you, who can stop it?

And now, such an opportunity for immortality is right in front of the old man!

As long as you swallow it, you can live forever and never enter the human world.

With the old man's willpower, he could not help but tremble at this moment.

There was also a trace of uncontrollable greed in his eyes.

However, just when the old man was a little tempted and forgot about himself, a trace of struggle suddenly appeared in the old man's eyes. He clenched his palms, faced the temptation of immortality, took a deep breath, and then... . He actually gritted his teeth and turned his head away!

The old man finally broke free from the temptation of immortality.

Indeed, what everyone longs for in immortality is something that no one can change.

However...even so, human will can override greed.

Being able to restrain one's desires is why one is called a human being.

The old man resisted his temptation, and then slowly stepped forward.

He looked around and took in the surrounding situation... The surrounding area was a relatively open place with a lotus pond in the center. In the middle of the lotus pond was the lotus, and then there was nothing else, just green trees.

Seeing this situation, the old man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Let yourself come here...Does the immortal mean to let yourself pick this lotus?

Wait, Lotus?

His mind froze for a moment, and the old man suddenly thought of their previous guess.

Both Anguiras and Laton came to Qinling for something.

So, this lotus is their target?

Was this the lotus that the immortal guarded before?

But if this is something that the immortal protects, why do you let him come here and let him see this thing?

After all, is this really what the immortal wants to give me?Or are you just looking at it and showing off your goodies?

It's like the kind of clothes that don't return home, like walking at night in brocade clothes or something like that?

Normal people will show off when they get good things. For example, if he catches a fish weighing five or six pounds, he has to show it off to those old guys.

But... would even an immortal do such a thing?

That's an immortal. Can an immortal be so humane?

The old man stood there thinking about these questions. Because the immortal didn't speak, he couldn't guess what the immortal was thinking.

But just as the old man was thinking about this, the lotus flowers between the lotus ponds suddenly started to flutter, and then, in the old man's surprised eyes, they floated in front of the old man.

The old man looked at the lotus close at hand and couldn't help but stretched out his hand. Then, the lotus fell lightly into the old man's hand.

The moment he touched the lotus, the old man felt a coldness in his palm, followed by a sense of comfort from the inside out.

He felt that the injuries on his body seemed to have completely recovered at this moment. Although he still looked old, his body was extremely strong, as if he was in his prime.

Is this a fairy treasure?It’s amazing. Just holding it in your hand has such an effect. If you swallow it, wouldn’t it be...

No, you can't think about it, you can't think about this kind of thing... Calm down, calm down... The immortal's statement was telling himself that this lotus was given to them.

Yes, not to him, but to them... It is more important to give to a person than to a person, without a doubt, to a country.

This lotus flower should have something more important than I imagined. This is something that can change the current situation of China!

If he swallowed this thing because of his greed, he would undoubtedly be a sinner for the ages.

Holding the lotus carefully, the old man took off his clothes, protected the lotus inside, and then bowed three times in respect towards the lotus pond.

This is to express your respect and gratitude to the immortal.

Now that troubled times are coming, China must also find ways to protect itself in these troubled times. However, efforts to develop science and technology are not enough. Other actions are needed, and the lotus given by the immortal is another way.

This move of the immortal helped them, China, and he must express his gratitude.

After bowing three times, the old man and the other two soldiers embarked on the return journey.

It was quite leisurely when I arrived, but when I left, it seemed a bit hurried and I didn't dare to stay for a moment.

And the spirit of the vegetation that guided them here had already been integrated into the lotus at some point...

Chapter 352: Did you know that Zhongnan Mountain is actually also called Taiyi Mountain?

After the old man got the lotus, he took the people back without hesitation and informed other people of the news on the way back. Many old people who were quietly waiting for the news in the conference room all knew the good news.

Although it is difficult to discuss what to do on the plane, this matter is of great importance and must be dealt with immediately.

Therefore, the old people had an extremely heated discussion on what to do with this lotus.

They each have their own ideas, and some want the institute to study this thing... Although the end of science is theology, the universe can be explained by science. Could it be said that this lotus flower cannot be explained by science? explained?

If they can research something, it truly belongs to them. They can make a lot of preparations and plans based on this knowledge, and even develop a truly superhuman potion.

If it doesn’t work, can’t it still extend your life?

No matter how you look at it, it’s not a loss.

Some people say that such a thing is too wasteful... It is a natural treasure, something that can lead to immortality if eaten raw. It is too wasteful to use it for research. If we can find a way to refine this thing into a pill, it would be perfect. .

Others say that too little of the elixir is refined to benefit the masses. It is better to research and develop it. For the sake of research results, it is not impossible to waste a little bit.Moreover, who knows how to refine elixirs?Who moves?Who can?

This thing is a treasure of heaven and earth. Even Anguiras and Laton are very eager for it. Can they really refine this thing with their current technology?And there is only one flower of this thing. If it is wasted, wouldn’t it be a loss of money?

Some people also think that they should try to plant lotus flowers... Lotus flowers have lotus seeds. If they can grow them, they will have countless treasures.

Everyone discussed this issue for a long time, and finally, everyone agreed that the lotus should be divided into two parts, one for research and one for refining elixirs. If there are lotus seeds or the like, then use them Planting, three-pronged approach, be sure to squeeze out the maximum value of this natural and earthly treasure!

About two hours after the discussion ended, Hai Lao, who was out of town, completed his task. When he came back, he handed this thing over to the people below for them to carry out... Within these two hours, everyone here The old people have prepared research bases and departments.

As mentioned before, never underestimate a country. During wartime, as long as it is willing, the country will immediately transform into a terrifying war agency, everything is to serve the war. But now, the highest body of the country takes action in just two hours. The highest standard research institute was established.

Many academicians immediately put down their work and gathered here.

And their mission is only one, and that is to capture this lotus!

This lotus flower will be an indispensable part of China's rise in the future and in the age of great strife!

This is a heavy responsibility and pressure!

And in order to ensure the safety of this matter, this specification is listed as mushroom egg level.

How you made mushroom eggs at that time is how you make this now.

Under the order from above, the research department of Lotus started its work as soon as possible.

The old man also returned to the conference room.

Hai Lao took his position, looked at the other people who were still in the conference room, and said: "Okay, I have sent the lotus flower and handed it into their hands with my own hands. They should have started now."

"What else are we going to discuss now?"

Hai Lao's words made everyone present look at each other. After a short pause, the leader said: "We are going to discuss the identity of the immortal in the Qinling Mountains."

"......???"

The identity of the immortal?

Hai Lao was a little shocked now. Good guy, they actually want to discuss the identity of the immortal next?What is this...wait, it doesn’t seem like it can’t be discussed?

As for the identity of the immortal, Ebi also wanted to know. When the spirit of grass and trees brought Ebi into the Qinling Mountains, Ebi wondered whether the old man would tell him his identity. However, he did not see the immortal, only lotus flowers. Later, Ebi knew that the immortal did not intend to reveal his identity.

But the immortals don't tell them their identities, so they can still guess.

Could it be that they haven't guessed the identity of the immortal yet?

"I have no objection if you want to guess the identity of the immortal, but... what if the immortal is not a mythological existence? Or does it account for a very low proportion in the myth? There is not even a pen and ink, he is just an unknown person. Where is the immortal?"
