Chapter 3199 3201【Changchun Battle】
"You came just in time. My deadline is not far away. Before I die, I want to entrust this classic to you." Xiaoyaozi said again, taking out a stack of cloth from his arms and giving it to Xiang South.
Xiang Nan took it and took a look and saw that the pile of cloth was made of linen and had some mysterious and unpredictable symbols on it.
"This is the sacred book I took out from the Eternal Changchun Valley - Changchun Jue. It records the method of immortality." Xiaoyaozi explained.
He was originally a Taoist priest of the Nanhua School of Taoism. After inheriting a large number of unique skills from his predecessors, he became successful in martial arts and traveled around the world. I accidentally heard about the location of Everlasting Spring Valley in southern Yunnan, so I curiously went to find out.
Sure enough, the rumors were true. People in the valley drank the spring water of immortality and practiced immortality skills. Each of them lived to be over a hundred years old, but they still looked young and healthy. This discovery was an eye-opener for him.
However, he also discovered that if he drank the spring water of immortality and then practiced the immortality technique, although the effect would be the best, the price would be that he would not be able to leave the Valley of Youth for the rest of his life. Otherwise, after going out, people will age quickly and die within a few days.
Hence, Xiaoyaozi did not drink the spring water of youth, but found a new way, creating a method of sucking spiritual blood and absorbing poisons to stay young forever.
Just sucking blood will cause you to relapse every thirty years, but if you absorb poison, you will have to rely on poison to survive for the rest of your life, otherwise you will encounter backlash, and life will be worse than death.
“Grandmaster, since there is a way to live forever, why do you say that the end has come?” Xiang Nan asked curiously.
"In this world, all the seas will turn into mulberry fields, and the stones will turn into sand. How can there be such a thing as immortality, eternal happiness and innocence?" Xiaoyaozi waved his hand and said, "It is quite rare to live two hundred years."
Xiang Nan nodded. He knew that Jin Yong's martial arts world belonged to low-level martial arts, and there could be no real magical power of immortality. To be able to live to be two hundred years old and still look young before losing strength is quite extraordinary.
…
Subsequently, Xiaoyaozi taught Xiang Nan the meaning of those symbols.
It turns out that the symbols on the linen cloth are the hieroglyphics of the Naxi people.
The Naxi people are a branch of the ancient Qiang people. During the pre-Qin period, they had migrated all the way from the Hexi Corridor.
It is unknown who created this sacred book or when, but it has been passed down in the valley for at least several hundred years.
According to Xiaoyaozi's own speculation, this magical skill is not the first of its kind among the Naxi people. Because many of the characters are profound and beyond the scope of expression of Naxi hieroglyphs.
Hence, he suspected that there was a book written in another language first, and then the Naxi people copied that book in their own language.
And this is not impossible. After all, from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the present, countless classics have been lost. Just because Qin Shihuang burned books and harassed Confucian scholars, I don’t know how many people’s efforts were ruined.
"If you have time, help me return this book to the Changchun Valley of Immortality." Xiaoyaozi said again, "Back then, I stole this book for my own selfishness. I originally wanted to be immortal, but I didn't know that everyone would be immortal. False. Even now, when I think about it, I still regret it. But I have no shame in going back, so I can only ask you to do it for me."
"Don't worry, Patriarch, I will definitely do it." Xiang Nan put the book away and said.
He also wanted to visit the Everlasting Valley of Eternal Spring. Because according to Xiaoyaozi, he only stayed in the valley for half a month. Although he learned the Naxi writing, he was not very proficient in it.
Hence, he was not 100% sure about the meaning of many words in the book, and there were still some ambiguities. Therefore, he must return to the Evergreen Valley of Immortality.
Just like back then, Monk Tang felt that there were many errors and ambiguities in the Chinese Buddhist scriptures, so he vowed to travel west to Tianzhu to obtain the original scriptures. Xiang Nan is also prepared to do the same.
…
Xiaoyaozi is worthy of being an auspicious person who has lived for two hundred years. He has extensive knowledge, practiced both Buddhism and Taoism, has profound knowledge, and every word is precious. Xiang Nan learned a lot from him.
"Well, our fate ends here. You don't have to bother to see me in the future." Xiaoyaozi said, "Go! Remember to always have a compassionate heart, so that you can save yourself and others."
“Yes, Patriarch, my disciples will obey the teachings.” Xiang Nan bowed and saluted, and then left the Shaolin Temple.
After arriving at Zhendian at the foot of the mountain, he was preparing to meet up with Li Qinglu and others and return to Juxian Village to formally meet his parents. But Duan Zhengchun came out to greet him, "You Daxia, can you help me?"
Xiang Nan was stunned and asked quickly, "What kind of help does Prince Duan want me to do?"
Duan Zhengchun said it again immediately.
It turned out that Mrs. Wang was still pestering him, sometimes letting him go to Mantuo Villa, sometimes letting him go to Jianhu Palace... In short, she asked him to put down his title of prince, take care of family and country affairs, and stay with her from now on.
But although Duan Zhengchun is a phoenix, he can still distinguish what is light and what is important. He will never let go of important matters of family and country. After all, this is his responsibility as a member of the Dali royal family.
And in addition to Mrs. Wang, he also has Princess Dao Baifeng, Qin Hongmian, Gan Baobao, Ruan Xingzhu and others. How can he give up the entire forest for a tree.
So he hoped that Xiang Nan would help to persuade him, and it would be best to ask Mrs. Wang to stop pestering him.
…
When Xiang Nan heard his request, he couldn't help but sigh, "Scumbag~"
It is not an exaggeration to describe him as someone who changes his mind when he sees different things, who starts out in chaos and finally gives up. There are obviously so many women, but they still want to get involved with women and cause so many scandals. It is really "scum".
The key point is that it is really irresponsible to run away after being a scumbag and leave orphans and widows behind.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, there are two ways to solve this matter." Xiang Nan said, "Nowadays, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines. Wouldn't it be good if you just take them all home and have fun together? "
"No, my wife has a strong personality and has never allowed me to take concubines..." Duan Zhengchun waved his hands quickly.
his first wife, Dao Baifeng, was the daughter of the great chief of Baiyi in Yunnan. The Duan family married her with the intention of winning over Baiyi and consolidating the throne.
At that time, there were only a few Han people in southern Yunnan. If the barbarians did not support them, the Duan family would not be able to secure the throne. The Baiyi people have always been monogamous, and Dao Baifeng has been noble since he was a child, so Duan Zhengchun is not allowed to marry a second wife.
"In this case, there is only the second way." Xiang Nan said again.
“Please ask Master You for advice.” Duan Zhengchun said quickly.
"I have a medicine called Wangchuan Water. As long as you drink it, you will forget the person you love most." Xiang Nan explained, "Since you don't want Mrs. Wang to pester you, then feed her this medicine, and she will forget about it in the future." I will treat you as a stranger and won’t bother you anymore.”
“This…” Duan Zhengchun hesitated again.
Although he is a phoenix, he is sincere to every woman, and is even willing to die for them. Therefore, he did not want Mrs. Wang to treat him as a stranger. He just wanted Mrs. Wang to stop pestering him so much.
"Then I have no choice." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "There is no sweetness at both ends of the sugar cane. One side must take the initiative to give up."
"Yeah." Duan Zhengchun nodded, "By the way, Hero You, can you give me some love-forgetting water? I want to help my son and daughter resolve their love sins."
