Chapter 264 Immortality
Wang An's reply made Chang Long stunned.
"Aren't you interested in this? Then what can interest you?" Chang Long thought to himself. At this moment, he was really at a loss.
The so-called "without desire" is strong. I don’t have much ideas or needs, so how can we continue talking today?
Hey, it’s so difficult! Chang Long sighed.
Over the years, he has met all kinds of people, and Wang An is the most difficult person he has ever seen to communicate with, bar none.
“That person may have the secret of immortality.” Chang Long thought for a while and said.
“Even someone as powerful as you can’t be indifferent to this word, right?”
“Is it immortal?” Wang An whispered to himself, looking at Chang Long sitting in front of him.
Chang Long also looked at Wang An. He didn't see the slightest desire or impulse in Wang An's eyes. His eyes were so calm, as if what he said was just an ordinary and trivial thing, not what many people have longed for since ancient times. the ultimate dream.
This feeling is as if Wang An has seen through it all.
“Still…” Chang Long suddenly trembled, and the hairs on his hair stood up.
He thought of a possibility. The man in front of me has found a way to live forever!
As soon as this idea came up, it was like throwing a torch on the dry grassland. The flames burned quickly and I couldn't control it.
"Mr. Chang?" Wang An looked at Chang Long, whose expression suddenly changed in front of him, and his forehead was sweating, and shouted softly.
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, I just lost my temper." Chang Long took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.
“Excuse me for disturbing you, sir.” Chang Long walked out of the alley, got into the car, and sat blankly for a while.
"is it possible?"
“What if it’s true?” he said to himself in the car.
“What’s that guy doing here again? He looks like he’s lost his mind.” Li Xinzhu, who came down from the mountain, happened to see Chang Long’s expression as he left.
“Come and fool me.”
“Fooling, then why are you fooling?”
“Longevity.”
“What?!” Li Xinzhu was stunned after hearing this and looked at Wang An in surprise. "Changsheng, does he know how to live forever?"
“If he knew, why would he tell me such a stranger?” Wang An said calmly.
"Yes, but this is indeed tempting." Li Xinzhu said, "If you put it on me, I will definitely be tempted."
“Heart-beating?” Wang An looked at Li Xinzhu with a smile after hearing this.
“Immortality has been just a legend since ancient times. It is too far away from us. The road must be walked step by step and the food must be eaten bite by bite.”
“I understand, I understand.” Li Xinzhu smiled and nodded. "Actually, not everyone can have this mentality. As for you, you stand too high, so high that we can hardly see you."
“Why did you suddenly express such emotion?”
“I suddenly felt very emotional. In fact, being friends with you is very stressful.”
"pressure?"
"Well, as for you, in my eyes, you are as high as a fairy in the sky. Although I am usually careless, in fact, I feel quite inferior in front of you." Li Xinzhu didn't know today. What happened? He suddenly spoke out what was on his mind.
"Inferiority? Let's talk somewhere else." Wang An was startled for a moment and then said. The two people went to the top of the mountain, holding two bottles of wine in their hands, and started chatting.
“Do you remember when the two of us first met?”
“Of course I remember, are you working undercover in the Tai Chi Pavilion?” Wang An said with a smile.
"At that time, your kung fu was only average. Compared with you now, you were in heaven or on earth. How could you have changed so much in just a few years?" Li Xinzhu took two sips of wine. .
“In the past few years, when you were romantic and unrestrained, I was practicing Kung Fu; when you were bragging with your friends, I was practicing Kung Fu; when you were busy making money, I was also practicing Kung Fu; except for eating and sleeping, I was practicing Kung Fu almost all the time;
In order to practice Qigong, I have been to Mount Taihe, Zhongyue, and Kuangshan. Now that I think about it, my life in the past few years seems to have revolved around practicing. "
It is exactly what the saying goes, if you are not crazy, you will not survive.
“Why are you working so hard?”
"In the beginning, I really wanted to make my body healthy. I also had the inferiority complex you mentioned. In the company and in Hu'an City, I saw those people who were well-dressed, lived in luxury houses and looked at luxury cars. I would feel inferior to my boss, and I also swore that I would become a master through my own efforts and live a different life.
But reality always slaps me in the face. I can’t even afford a house in Hu’an. "Recalling the past, Wang An was also quite emotional.
“Now as long as you say a word, you can choose any house in the nine states of the empire. Even the royal garden may be able to give you a set.”
“It’s not that exaggerated.” Wang An said with a smile, “But God has been kind to me. Think about how long you have been practicing Qigong, has it been two years?”
“Well, less than two years. After all, I was busy with business matters some time ago. It is only in the recent period that I have really settled down to practice.”
"The path you are taking now is somewhat similar to the one I am taking. Think about it, if you had worked as hard as you do now at the beginning, your cultivation level would definitely be much higher than it is now, right?"
“Well, that makes sense.” Li Xinzhu nodded. "Hey, what would it be like if you could live forever?"
"I have also thought about this. If you want immortality, there should be several types. One is physical immortality. You also know that the human body is constantly aging. The reason for aging is the division of human cells. There is a limit to the number of times, but if this limit can be exceeded and a person's normal cells can divide without limit like cancer cells, will that make a person immortal?
Another possibility is spiritual immortality. The physical body is not strong enough to stay young forever, but the spirit is strong enough to constantly change the body, which is rebirth like in the novel. "
On the top of the mountain, two people chatted for a long time.
“So you’ve thought about it, I thought you were really indifferent!”
"Eternal life, no one has thought about it, but we still have to take the current path first."
Li Xinzhu said some of the things he had hidden in his heart. Wang An hadn't chatted with someone like this for a long time. He was not good at communication.
From this day on, Li Xinzhu practiced even more vigorously.
On the other side, Chang Long left the mountain village and went to a place where several people were waiting for him.
"how is everything?"
“He did not agree.”
“I don’t agree with any of this. Didn’t you tell him about immortality?”
“Tell me, he’s not interested.”
“I’m not interested in this either. What does he want?”
"I was wondering, is it possible that he has obtained the method of immortality?"
"What?!"
Several people were stunned for a moment.
"You must know that he first discovered the bronze door. It has been a while since he discovered the ancient ruins under Beiyi Mountain. During this time, he may have found a way to enter the bronze door. And if you have entered it, you may not have gotten anything from it.”
“People who don’t have enough oil and salt are really troublesome.”
“Actually, there is still a way. Aren’t there two old people in his hometown? We can start with those two old people.”
“You are not going to kidnap those two old people, are you? This is equivalent to forming a deadly feud with them, not to mention there are Guo Tianbu, Li Xinzhu, Xu Qi and others there.”
“Am I that stupid? We can make two old people sick, something that is difficult to cure, and then spread the word that there may be a way to cure everything in the world in that ancient ruins, and let them take the initiative to go in.”
“Then, will he tell us when he finds out what’s inside? If we take the initiative to contact him, wouldn’t it be self-inflicted?”
“This matter requires long-term consideration.”
“Sir? I guess it won’t be long before the Special Affairs Bureau discovers that place, hey!”
The first snow of winter came earlier than usual. Wang An stood on the top of the mountain and closed his eyes, but a scene of snowflakes falling from the sky emerged in his mind.
Snowflakes are falling one after another,
Wang An raised his hand, and a snowflake a few meters away from him suddenly broke into pieces.
Then he danced his hands, and the surrounding snowflakes continued to gather towards him, and then formed a pattern in front of him, which was a Tai Chi Bagua.
The way of Tai Chi is the way of nature.
When cultivating the Tao, cultivating one's body, and cultivating one's mind, one must also gain insights from heaven and earth.
Surrounded by heaven and earth, it is itself a small heaven and earth, where the true energy is released and heaven and man blend together.
In the mountain village, Xu Qi left. He was going to the capital to attend a special meeting. Guo Tianbu also left. He went back to his hometown to visit his parents and children. Li Xinzhu also left.
The originally lively life suddenly became quiet.
The land of Xiqiang,
After a long period of hard work, someone finally successfully entered the palace and saw what was inside, and then walked out with a clear mind, even if this period of time was only a few seconds.
The man drew a picture based on his memory.
Looking at the seemingly chaotic runes on it, the people from the Special Affairs Bureau couldn't figure out the reason for a while.
However, fortunately, the exploration of this ruins is developing in a good direction and advancing steadily step by step.
In the capital, the Special Affairs Bureau is holding a special meeting, and the topic is to discuss the ancient monuments that have appeared in recent times.
According to the information they received, such monuments not only appeared in the empire, but also appeared in other countries, some appearing earlier.
“Is this a resurgence of spiritual energy?”
“Who knows what lies deep within those ancient ruins?”
“According to the latest news, the legendary vampire has been discovered in the Balkans, and one has been successfully captured and is being studied.”
“Have the legendary creatures begun to appear?”
While they were having a meeting, suddenly a man hurried in from outside and whispered a few words in the ear of the person presiding over the meeting.
“What?!” The host of the meeting changed his face after hearing this.
He took a deep breath and looked up at the people present.
“Everyone, I just received news that an unknown creature ran out of the palace of Immortal Burial Valley. It has now broken through the base defense outside and disappeared.”
“Unknown creature, what is that?”
Everyone present at the meeting was stunned.
In a mountain village thousands of miles away, Wang An looked at the gloomy sky after lunch.
In the cold wind, he heard the sound of a car and stopped at the entrance of the alley. Then he smelled a unique smell, a bit fishy. Less than two minutes later, he heard footsteps and something weird. Gasps.
The sound entered the alley, and someone was coming this way.
Wang An stood up, exerted force under his feet, and his true energy flowed naturally, passing over the roof and then falling to the ground, blocking the people who entered the alley.
This man was wearing a hat and sunglasses, and the rest of his face was tightly wrapped in a scarf.
The smell Wang An smelled in the yard just now came from this person.
“Wang An!?” This man looked up at Wang An in front of him, his voice was hoarse, and it felt as if his throat had been burned by red-hot coals.
“It’s me, you?”
“I came to you for treatment.” The man said.
“You should go to a doctor for treatment.”
The man didn't speak. He slowly took off his sunglasses and then his scarf, revealing a ferocious and terrifying face. This man's face had been completely disfigured, as if he had been splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid.
“How?” The man pointed at his face.
“It can’t be cured.” Wang An shook his head.
“Don’t refuse in a hurry, let’s talk about the conditions.”
"Without conditions, your journey in this cold weather will be in vain."
The man picked up the box he was carrying and opened it. Inside was a strange stone with a faint red light.
“How about using this as a reward?”
Wang An looked at the fast stone and felt a familiar energy from it.
In Japan, the trap set by Akutagawa Yui, in that secret room, the energy he felt was very similar to the energy emitted by this stone.
"This thing should be useful for people like you." After speaking, the man quickly closed the box.
The stone was a very terrible thing to him.
"how?"
Wang An looked at the stone, then looked up at the man.
“You go.”
“Isn’t this okay?” The man stared at Wang An and looked up at the old house behind him.
“Excuse me, cough, cough, cough.”
After speaking, he wrapped his scarf again, turned around and left slowly.
“What is that stone? Where did it come from?” Wang An fell into deep thought as he watched the car slowly leave.
The next morning, after getting up early in the morning, Wang An felt uneasy. He always felt that something bad was going to happen today, so he didn't go anywhere and just stayed at home quietly.
Chatting with the two old men, and then reading a book by myself, time passed by slowly.
Nothing happened until evening, everything was as usual.
