Zhentian coffin

After returning to the capital for a few days, people from all walks of life who came to inquire about the news appeared on the stage one after another. They were inquiring whether I had brought back the elixir, what magic weapon, or the method of practice. They were not interested in it. What they wanted was that A panacea that can cure all diseases, if there is one that can prolong life, that would be even better, and they are willing to pay any price for it.

No matter how I explained it was useless, people didn’t believe that I entered Baoshan and returned empty-handed, so I had no choice but to run away, say hello to Lin Bai, and said that I would ask for leave for a period of time, and then went to Doutian Palace with Little Fairy and Liu An.

It hasn't been long since the last time I came, and Doutian Palace is still the same as usual, very quiet, and everyone has their own things to do.

"Except for the New Year, every time you come to me, there is something wrong, and this time it caused trouble again?"

When Daoheng saw me, his eyes were wrong, why did he still get up and cause trouble every year.

"Uncle, you misunderstood me. This time, I didn't come to hide from trouble. I came to see you specially. I have good news for you."

"What good news, let's hear it"

"I went to a place some time ago and met some amazing people. Well, I have to start from the beginning..."

I told the ins and outs of Li Yao and the others one by one. The point is that I already know the secret of their longevity, so I want to tell Dao Heng this secret, so that Dao Heng can prolong his life and live a few more years.

"It turned out to be them, but you still met them"

"Uncle, do you know them?"

I was taken aback, this is a top secret in Jianghu, how could Daoheng know?

"I don't know each other, but I have heard of them. My master has met them and talked to them several times. My master told me that they are whimsical. It has been proven impossible for thousands of years to cultivate Taoism and become immortal. They are like this." Do it, it's just futile."

"No, Uncle Master, they have already achieved good results, and they can live a hundred, twenty-three with ease."

"Then can they live forever?"

"This, not yet"

"Not to mention temporarily, it won't work in another 100 years. According to what you said, they are just tinkering on the road of health preservation, so they are still ordinary people, no big deal?"

"Uncle, you don't like them?"

"The way is different, we don't conspire with each other, we can't talk about whether we like it or not, we are not just people along the way"

"Then this regimen?"

"It's useless to me. At most, I can learn from it. My qi and blood are exhausted. No matter how I take care of it, it is impossible to reach a state of balance with my soul. This method of health preservation can only be started from a young age. You can practice it."

"No, uncle, I think you didn't want to practice on purpose"

"Silly boy, is there anything you want to think about? At my level, life and death have long been looked down upon, and those things have no temptation for me."

I frowned, wondering if this was Dao Heng's sincere words, I always felt that Dao Heng was passively waiting to die.

"What does Uncle Master think of this elixir? This is a healing elixir, and it is said to be very effective."

I handed the elixir given by Li Yao to Dao Heng, it was taken before I went, it was one of the prices Li Yao paid for taking Xie Changming away.

"That's right, what you said is true. Those people have gone through a long way of taking pills for longevity, and they have researched some ways. They are better than me. I can't practice this kind of pills. You have to keep them carefully. At the critical moment could save your life"

Daoheng picked it up and smelled it, and said, he still has to admit this. Although they are different from those people, they do have something special.

"Uncle Shi, they also gave me a lot of pills, do you want to take a look, maybe some of them are useful to you"

"Bring me to see"

I handed over the book I brought from Li Yao. This book is about alchemy.

"That's right, it's a fantastic idea, it's really amazing. This person's alchemy skills are extremely brilliant, and there are few people in the past and present who can match it, but it's a pity that it's useless to me."

"why"

"Because these elixirs are not for curing diseases and saving lives, the only purpose of their existence is to prolong your lifespan. It is meaningless for rich people to use them."

"This····"

I'm a little speechless, what's wrong with Daoheng, it seems like he is deliberately finding fault, he doesn't like anything?

"Boy, are you scolding me in your heart, thinking that I am arrogant and deliberately finding fault?"

"No, how dare you?"

"That's true"

"Uncle, what do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything, and I don't want to persuade you. You have already joined them. It is useless for me to say more. If you didn't join, I would like to persuade you."

"Master uncle is that not optimistic about them?"

"Yes"

"why"

I can't understand why Daoheng is so disrespectful to them. In my opinion, Li Yao and others have outstanding cultivation bases, superb spells, and alchemy and other skills. Except for a person who pursues illusory longevity, there is no one. place to blame.

"Do you think in your heart that those people are very powerful, they can live for a long time, they have high cultivation, they can make alchemy, they can even make magic weapons, and dignitaries also beg them, and treat them as ancestors, so perfect Why can't things be seen?"

"Isn't it, uncle?"

"That's because you are fascinated by them. I ask you, what is their ultimate purpose in doing this?"

"Immortal"

"Yes, it is immortality, so let me ask you, can this immortality be achieved?"

"Not sure, illusory"

"That's it, for a illusory thing, to waste a lifetime, 300 years of accumulation, 300 years of painstaking efforts, just for a illusory thing, how ridiculous you say.

Jin Yang, if you have read books, you should know that we people have to pursue some spiritual pursuits after pursuing material life. If the skills they study are for the benefit of mankind and the development of the country, then I, Daoheng, admire them from the bottom of my heart. For the so-called longevity, I'm sorry, I don't like it."

"Uncle, you can't say that. If they really succeed, it will undoubtedly be the greatest help to mankind, and it can help mankind jump the level of life."

"Isn't this the story of Mr. Ye's love of dragons? With dragon slaying skills, what about dragons?"

"Hey, I can't tell. These should be two kinds of thinking. The public says that the public is right, and I have nothing to do with it."

"Jin Yang, I won't persuade you to quit, don't worry, you can join them, but I want to tell you, if you have a long life and their platform, then you have to do something meaningful to mankind , Don't spend your whole life just for that illusory thing. When you get old, when you look back, you've done everything in your life, and it doesn't make any sense.

They have extremely powerful alchemy skills, so can they study some medicines for curing diseases and saving people? Can they refine magical weapons, can material science help? They have powerful cultivation bases, can they deal with some demons and ghosts? .

We can’t aim too high, the Tao of Longevity is not impossible to pursue, but it can’t be the only goal of your life, understand, we have to be more realistic”

Dao Heng patiently persuaded him that his opinion was the same as that of many people, that it is not worth spending a lifetime for that empty goal, and it is better to leave some meaningful things in a limited life.This is a wonderful life.

"Uncle Xie for teaching, I know what uncle means. Don't worry, Uncle Jin, Jin Yang is not that kind of person. The Dao of Longevity will not be my only goal in life, and those senior brothers will not prohibit me from studying other things. In terms of seeking common ground while reserving differences, They did a great job”

I nodded and agreed with what Daoheng said. I admire Li Yao's spirit of research, but I still have no feeling for longevity, and I will not spend any energy on this matter.

In the future, my goal should still be to improve my cultivation. Longevity is just a matter of chance. If I have time, it would be good to study medicine and alchemy. In short, I have to find something to enrich my life.

I'm not deceiving Li Yao and the others, because I will not hide these things, I must explain that we have some common goals, such as wanting to live longer, but there are differences, which they also agree with. can tolerate.

I have lived in Doutian Palace for a full month, and during this month, I have been digesting the books that Li Yao gave me. The contents are extremely rich, and I am amazed.

As for the part of alchemy, I have no foundation at all. Fortunately, Dao Heng is there, so I asked Dao Heng repeatedly, and slowly I was able to get started.

A month passed, and Lin Bai began to urge me to go back. It's not a problem to keep running like this, so I said goodbye to Dao Heng.

"You still have to face what you have to face, and you have to change your mentality. Now that others are begging you, what are you afraid of?"

"I know, Master Uncle, you have to take good care of your health, Liu An will still count on you to teach me when the time comes."

"I'm an old man teaching me a fart, you should prepare to protect my Doutian Palace, you have grown up now and are capable"

"Uncle, don't worry, with me, everything will be at ease"

"Got it, let's go"

I left Doutian Palace with great reluctance, I could see that Daoheng's time was really running out, he was about to run out of oil and the lamp was dry, I don't know how long he could last.

When I got back to the capital, Lin Bai called me over, saying that he was going to adjust my work.

"Jin Yang, don't you like to work in Zhonghai? Well, I've arranged a good job for you."

"I don't think it's going to be a good thing"

"Hey, what do you mean, want to disobey?"

"How dare you, Director Lin, tell me."

"How about a job as an Inspector for you?"

"What the hell, Inspector?"

"This is the abbreviation. The full name is the leader of the special inspection team of the Security Bureau. Of course, there is no subordinate, just a bald commander."

"what do"

"As the name suggests, it is used for inspections. You know that we are always short of manpower. We need to ask for help for many things. If something can't be done, we will ask for help from various sub-bureaus. If the sub-bureau can't handle it, then I have to go to the headquarters. I will let you"

"Isn't this the firefighting captain? Why are you still inspecting the envoy? It's really deceitful"

"Then do you want to do it?"

"You can do it, but there are several restrictions. I can't run around all year round."

"No problem, it's enough to do twelve missions a year, it's enough, you can rest after doing missions once a month, what a beautiful job"

"Don't do it"
