The Book of Heaven

Chapter 442 Scary Thoughts

Ma Zheng also counted his heartbeats in detail. In the sedation state, he counted two to one beat. Under normal circumstances, he counted half to one beat, and in the combat state, he counted half to one beat. I remember reading a theory that said heartbeat The speed of the body determines the speed of metabolism, and also determines the life span.

Turtles in the animal world are typical. It is said that some long-lived turtles can only have a heartbeat once in a few minutes or even ten minutes.

"Eternal life is not counted, there is no such possibility."

"Yes, we just live a little longer, how long can you live, Huang Hansheng?"

"About 130."

"Hey, I'll see you off then!" Ma Chao said with a smile, as if he was quite proud.

"Thank you! The old man doesn't believe you can live a few more years!"

"Even if it's just one more day, that's too much, besides, the old man can still live for 180 years, four years and three months."

The two old men changed the topic again, but Ma Zheng was sweating on his brow, and said in a low voice: "How can you even know how long you have to live? Is it meaningful to live like this?"

It's a pity that in front of Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, it's impossible to hide even a whisper, Huang Zhong curled his lips and said: "Boy, you will know when your martial arts level is similar to ours, alas, it's okay to know how long you can live. If the realm of martial arts can be improved, the lifespan can be extended."

"Really?"

"Huang Hansheng is right. You have never seen the heavenly book. It is recorded in the book that if a person can completely control his body, he can live forever!"

"Old Ancestor, have you seen the Heavenly Book?"

"Of course." Ma Chao said indifferently: "The Heavenly Book fell into the hands of the five of us back then, and we divided it into five parts, but only the five of us have seen the complete Heavenly Book. , Hmph, how could he let the Sima family get involved."

No wonder the third uncle is so obsessed with the full version of the Heavenly Book. It turned out that the full version of the Heavenly Book even mentions such mysterious things as "immortality", but Ma Zheng still can't understand, isn't it impossible to live forever? ?
"It's very unlikely. For example, the five of us old guys have cultivated for a lifetime, but we only have about 1000% control over our bodies." Ma Chao frowned, and glanced at Huang Zhong. Seeing that Huang Zhong had no intention of adding, Only then did he continue: "We also discussed it back then. Maybe this degree of control means the upper limit of lifespan. When it reaches [-]%, it should be able to live to [-] years."

1000 years?

Ma Zheng swallowed hard again, 1000 years seems to be almost the same as immortality, how many dynasties have to go through.

"Perhaps what is recorded in the book is just the most ideal state. No one has been able to achieve that level since ancient times."

"Not necessarily." Huang Zhong suddenly interjected at this time: "I think that the monster in the temple didn't tell the truth. There might be such a monster in their world. Otherwise, how could martial arts develop to that level?"

Ma Chao did not refute this point, or because he felt that there was no need to refute. No one can prove this, but there are more important things for Ma Zheng to do right now.

"Let me lead soldiers to fight?"

Ma Chao's request was beyond Ma Zheng's expectation.If Ma Chao said that he would take him somewhere to practice martial arts, that would be within Ma Zheng's expectation, but shouldn't the generals in the imperial court, such as Li Yuan, do such things as leading troops to fight?

"You are the most talented junior in martial arts that we old guys have seen. Over 600 years, the world has changed, and we can understand it. There is no absolute strength, and everything is passing. Do you know, except Except for the five old guys, among the younger generations of the five major families, basically they have reached the peak of cultivation, and their control over the body can't even exceed [-]%, alas, it's very disappointing."

Mastering the four achievements means that the life expectancy reaches 600 years. Ma Zheng seems to understand that old guys like Huang Zhong and Ma Chao who have lived for [-] years, I am afraid that their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons will not survive them, and they are already dead. I don’t know how many years, the white-haired person gave the black-haired person, and I don’t know how many times, maybe the heart is numb.

Of course, Ma Chao's idea could not be as simple as Ma Zheng's, but it was directly related to the continuation of the five major families. Although the Han Empire is powerful now, and the relationship between the five major families and the royal family is good, who knows what will happen in the future? They didn't have to think about it 500 years ago, they still didn't have to think about it 300 years ago, and they still didn't have to think about it a hundred years ago.

But now he has to think about it. It is impossible to continue to break through in the martial arts. After all, lifespan is limited, and the five major families need someone to take over.

As the ancestors of the family, the five old fellows have been investigating secretly all the time, but unfortunately the results of each investigation have disappointed them. It was not until Ma Zheng appeared that they saw a glimmer of hope.

"Do you know why no one of our descendants can break through the realm of entering the house?" Huang Zhong asked with a long sigh.

Ma Zheng shook his head, this question is really too profound, he feels that he is too young, even if he has lived two lifetimes, he is still too young compared with two people who are over 600 years old.

"Because the Han Empire had already entered a period of stable development before we retired, and there were no such protracted wars."

"Without the blazing war, we will lose the opportunity to keep tempering! The martial arts realm of our five old fellows is achieved by real killing people. To put it bluntly, in the future, killing thousands of people can get a little bit of it. I remember a battle that year, the old man and Huang Hansheng led three thousand sons to kill fifty thousand yellow scarf thieves, and in the end there were only two of us left, and no one can count how many people were killed!"

"fifty thousand?"

Ma Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, no wonder when he first saw Huang Zhong, he could feel the sea of ​​corpses and blood hidden behind the figure of the old man, it really was like that!
"Later, the world was at peace, even if the empire expanded occasionally, it was just a small scene of battle, which was not very useful for improving martial arts, and there were too many monks and too little porridge."

"Old ancestor, do you mean that there has been another war recently?" Ma Zheng asked after thinking about it.

"That's right." Ma Chao nodded, and Huang Zhong also echoed at the side. It seems that although the two old men are in a state of seclusion, they are still very concerned about the affairs of the world.

"But just wiped out the Great Yuezhi"

"What is a mere Da Yue Clan!" Ma Chao raised his hand before Ma Zheng finished speaking, and said loudly, "The real enemy of the Han Empire has appeared."

"Yes, this time is your chance. We old people will come forward to fight for you, and we will definitely let you be one"

"Commander?" Ma Zheng asked with narrowed eyes.

"No, you're still killing a fart when you're commander in chief!" Huang Zhong shouted openly, "You're a vanguard, a vanguard who can only lead [-] troops!"

"Gollum!"

Ma Zheng suddenly felt that he had made a mistake just now. Ma Chao and Huang Zhong were simply envious of their talent, so they wanted to die by themselves, right?In a war that was much larger than the sweeping of the Da Yue Clan, to be a vanguard, and a vanguard who could only lead 30 troops. In the kind of vanguard with at least [-] troops on both sides?
