With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 137 Immortal Spirit Beast

After all, Li Zhen still failed to find Changsheng in the first time.

Although, as nature says.

She just released it into the big lake behind Xianming Mountain.

But since it is winter now, this dead turtle must not know where to hibernate at the bottom of the lake.

If he didn't have the intention to turn the entire lake upside down.

The best way is to wait for the arrival of spring.

Although in the third year after he left the capital, Changsheng had grown to the point where the lotus pond could hardly accommodate it.

As a last resort, nature had no choice but to release it into the lake.

But immortality is not like a bird returning to the mountains and forests, or a fish swimming into the sea. From then on, it disappeared in the sky and the sea.

On the contrary, it did not move away.

It's just like changing to a bigger basin, staying there quietly.

It's time to eat, it's time to sleep.

Naturally, he would come over to feed him occasionally, and he would not refuse anyone who came.

Hearing this, Li Zhen felt confident.

He didn't blame her either.

After all, he should have discovered something was wrong with Changsheng long ago.

Ever since he came from a foreign land and awakened his innate supernatural powers.

In the past seventy years, he has learned things from living creatures countless times.

Yes and only once.

And that only time happened to Changsheng.

I didn't know it was strange inside, so I didn't take it seriously.

But now when I look back and think about it, it’s full of anomalies.

Lived for so many years.

I also visited the outside world twice, so I had some experience.

Although there were creatures that were different from ordinary beasts, none of them were as good as Changsheng.

It will be called a "spiritual beast" by his magical power.

Not one!

This alone is enough to express the extraordinaryness of immortality.

What's more, he often fed it those poisonous elixirs sent by Zhao Chang.

Change to another turtle.

Counting one by one, the grass on the graves is probably several feet tall.

But luckily, Changsheng was safe and sound, alive and kicking.

Things that I had noticed but never paid attention to in the past came together at this time.

Suddenly, Li Zhen's doubts suddenly became clear.

The turtle Changsheng is truly extraordinary!

But after all, it is a heterogeneous species that was born and raised in the earth.

It is still unknown whether it is a so-called spiritual beast born by chance.

Perhaps the answer will only come when you actually see it.

Of course, more may still be ignorant.

Thinking of Changsheng's flawless method of hiding Qi.

Li Zhen smiled bitterly.

After living for so many years, I actually punched a turtle that I used to accompany day and night.

It still makes people feel a little ridiculous and ridiculous.

Therefore, Li Zhen decided to wait until he found this turtle thing later.

You must give it a lesson so that it knows who is the master.

As for now

He cast his eyes aside on Erqing, who had not seen a shadow every day since he returned to Xianming Mountain.

Leniency if you confess, severity if you resist!

Tell me honestly, where have you been fooling around these days?

Li Zhen knocked it on the head, angry that it would not fight.

You are a bull with a bright future, how could you let yourself down like this?

Listen to his words.

Er Qing shed tears of grievance.

It's a pity that I, the old cow, can't speak, so I received this harsh scolding today for nothing.

If there comes a time, I will definitely call you

Time flies, winter passes and spring comes.

Chuixiang Building has not had a festive atmosphere for many years.

Finally, after Li Zhen returned, the lonely atmosphere of solitary temples in the mountains disappeared.

A little more popular and a little more angry.

It's just that these days, it's rare to have some free time.

There will always be a person standing blankly in front of the empty bookshelf, sighing.

Ever since she arrived here as a teenager.

She looked at it day by day and used her hands day by day.

Fill these empty bookshelves one by one with a collection of books.

That period of time was her happiest and most carefree time.

However, these books were moved away one by one by people from the Confucian Academy.

The bookshelves that used to be full became empty.

Natural heart seems to have become empty.

Obviously there is nothing busy, and I finally have a lot of time to do things that I have always wanted to do but had no time to do.

But now, I can't muster any energy.

Occasionally sit down and think about it.

Oh.

It turns out that I am over seventy years old, already so old.

For ordinary people at the foot of the mountain, the only ones who could live to this age would be their ancestors.

He has many children and grandchildren, including many great-grandchildren.

That kind of life might be very beautiful.

Envy?

Envious.

Regret?

No regrets.

Without Daochang Li, there would be no nature at present.

She knew very well in her heart that it was Daochang Li who made her who she is now.

And if there is no Li Zhen.

Where will she be now?

Maybe it was a skinny and old Kun Dao in the Taoist temple, or maybe it had been buried in a barren grave long ago.

In short, it won't be the natural thing like now that has time to lament over trivial things.

After thinking about it, she decided to cheer up.

As Daochang Li said:

"These things are products of a backward era, and it would be a pity to lose them."

"And what they are going to embark on next is a completely new path."

Naturally, I don’t quite understand.

But she was willing to do whatever Daochang Li said.

Over the years, it has always been like this.

And I don’t know how many years to come, it will still be like this.

Li Zhen didn't know that his little Taoist boy

Oh no.

Now she can no longer be called Tao Tong.

Perhaps, we should call them colleagues?

People who travel together to explore unknown paths are called fellow travelers.

He felt that this title was very appropriate.

Li Zhen didn't know the emotional changes in his heart about the comrade he had chosen.

He was busy in the open space on the hillside outside the building.

There were no books in Chuixiang Tower, and he suddenly felt free.

Although I still have some thoughts in my mind.

In the future, he wants to fill it up again with brand new books written on things that have nothing to do with martial arts.

At that time, he may become the real owner of this vertical elephant building.

But now is not the time.

So in order to find something to do for myself when I am free.

He decided to farm.

Of course, this land has never been left uncultivated over the years.

Since the day it was planted, it has been planted with sunflowers.

When Zhao Ping was young, he was happiest all year round.

That’s when the sunflowers bloom every year.

As for now, he plans to switch things up and grow something else.

The reason.

Maybe it’s aesthetic fatigue.

However, when it comes to farming, neither Li Zhen nor Zi Ziran is actually proficient.

Although the latter has been cultivated for decades.

But I have always been planting sunflowers step by step.

Never changed, never tried something else.

Just like her character, she has no independent opinions and seems to be living in Li Zhen's shadow.

So naturally I can't help with this matter.

Fortunately, Li Zhen has another helper.

He invited his father, Ma San, who was in Ma Qianli.

The man who spent the first half of his life working diligently in front of the farmers like an old cow.

In the second half of his life, because his son became successful, he was taken to the capital to enjoy the blessings of Ma San.

Even though Ma Qianli is already quite old now, he has gone straight to knowing his destiny.

But Ma San is actually not that old, he is only sixty-five.

In front of Li Zhen, he is also a young man.

"Mr. Lee."

"This land."

Ma San shook his head, his face hesitant to speak.

Ma San, who has been an honest friend all his life, cannot say deceitful words. Besides, farming is something that cannot be done falsely.

Otherwise, the harvest will tell you everything.

"It's not good, isn't it?"

Li Zhen was not surprised either.

Mountains are inherently barren.

In addition, after so many years of planting, it has never been left fallow, which is almost normal.

"It needs deep plowing. It's best to dig out some silt from the river to improve it."

Ma San frowned and said this.

"Okay, you are an expert, I will listen to you."

Li Zhen clapped his hands and stood up from the ridge where he was squatting.

He looked at Er Qing with a faint look, with a strange smile.

Erqing, who is becoming more spiritual and wise, blinks his eyes.

Somehow it felt that its owner had some evil intentions.

There is no reason, just asking is a feeling.

Of course, it feels right, too.

When the pears of the plowed ground are lassoed upon it.

The ancient memory passed down in the blood of Erqing's ancestors awakened, and he understood the skills of farming without any teacher.

"Look, it is indeed Daqing's seed."

"This land is well cultivated."

Lowering his head, Li Zhen showed off to Ma San proudly.

"Yes, yes."

"Daqing is a good cow. If I hadn't been helpless at that time, I wouldn't have thought of buying it."

Beside him, Ma San responded with a smile.

It seemed like he was remembering old things from back then.

Turning his head and looking at each other, the two old men, whose combined total was almost two hundred, laughed at the same time.

Perhaps the luckiest thing in life.

Even after many years, we can still meet old friends from the past.

Inadvertently recalling the past events of that year and laughing at them.

Nature, who was watching all this quietly from a distance, also smiled slightly.

She has few friends in her life, and she doesn't know the Taoist priest who has a distinguished status in this great Zhou Dynasty.

Why, I can have a pleasant conversation with a man who looks like an old farmer in the fields.

But that didn't stop her from doing what a Taoist boy should do.

Although she didn't know that in Li Zhen's heart, she already regarded her as a fellow practitioner on the road of spiritual practice.

But even if he knew it, he probably wouldn't care.

In her heart, she will always be the Taoist priest's Taoist boy.

No matter what time, what age.

These are unchangeable facts.

The water is boiling.

She brewed the golden chrysanthemums in the pot.

Strange to say, the emperor clearly sent people to deliver a lot of expensive tea.

But the Taoist priest only likes to drink chrysanthemum tea.

It is also somewhat different from ordinary people.

All I can say is that the Taoist Master deserves to be a Taoist Master.

With this thought in mind, he naturally carried some tea that had cooled down.

Walking towards the fields on the hillside in the distance.

Ma Sanben is a person who can't take any time off.

I am a bit uncomfortable living in the capital.

But considering his great son, he endured it.

After so many years, I gradually got used to it.

But it's just habit.

After being invited to the mountain by Li Zhen, the restrained nature naturally returned.

I feel so happy that I don't even want to go back to my home in the capital.

As a result, Ma Qianli would go to Xianming Mountain from time to time to complain to Li Zhen.

Even so, it could not stop Lao Ma's desire to farm.

Every time at this time, Li Zhen would smile and see that neither father nor son could convince the other.

The same is true today.

But today Li Zhen left the venue to the two of them to play freely.

He walked slowly and leisurely to the back mountain alone.

Looking down from a high place.

The place where Zhenwusi was stationed back then has become a thing of the past.

It was not completely abandoned, but was taken over by some powerful families in the capital.

It has been renovated and turned into a mountain villa for summer vacations.

It was spring day at this time, and there was no one around.

There were only a few old servants working diligently to clean up the weeds.

I still remember vividly the scene when all the talented people gathered together to discuss the future of martial arts.

But in the blink of an eye, everything disappeared like smoke.

The prosperity is booming, and the death is sudden.

In the end, it turned into a less than stellar description of history.

With a silent sigh, Li Zhen shook his head and did not stay here too long.

He walked towards the big lake in the distance.

Now spring is coming, flowers are blooming, and the ice and snow are melting.

Changsheng should also end hibernation.

It's time to see it.

Although the doubts in my heart may not be answered after seeing it.

But it's much better than a black eye.

The true energy leaps and leaps into the air.

Suddenly, he came close.

It's just that Chang Sheng's figure has not yet been seen in sight, but one person rushed in first.

who?

Like him, a middle-aged man casually wearing Taoist robes.

The appearance is handsome, and there is an indescribable charm in it.

"You are also here to look for this longevity turtle?"

"Oh!"

Li Zhen remained calm and asked:

"Could it be the same for you, Your Excellency?"

But he shook his head slightly and cast his gaze into the endless blue waves in front of him.

"Longevity spirit turtle, kill it to get the turtle essence, and refine it to extend your life for six years."

"It's a pity that not many people in the world know about such a strange beast."

"Pindao is one, but he is not here for this."

Li Zhen frowned, and there was a trace of ripples in his calm expression.

Although it is speculated that there may be something strange about immortality.

But he never imagined that it would be like this.

Could the person in front of me be telling lies?

Li Zhen had a feeling in the dark, and I'm afraid it was true.

Because, he noticed strong traces of the passage of time in the person in front of him.

If my guess is correct, this person has lived a long enough time.

His expression changed, and Li Zhen said bluntly:

"That's not why I'm here."

"Actually, I raised Changsheng with my own hands and released him into this lake."

He stared at the visitor's expression and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Oh, that's what it is."

The man turned his head and smiled.

Somehow, Li Zhen felt that his momentum had become a bit gentler:

"Eternal life, eternal life, is just the right thing to do."

"I was favored by his elders and formed a good relationship with him. I will protect him until he reaches adulthood."

As he said this, he looked at Li Zhen again and his eyes suddenly stagnated.

After a while, he actually said with some relief:

"But now it seems that there is no need for me as an outsider."

"In that case, I will go."

As he spoke, the man jumped into the air.

Disappeared in the forest in an instant.

Li Zhen looked at his back from a distance and rubbed the stubble on his chin.

Taoist, strong strength, and an old-fashioned aura that never goes away.

Only a few pieces of information flowed through my mind.

It seemed that he had already guessed the identity of this person.

His frown faded away and he smiled in relief.

Three influential figures from three hundred years ago.

Now the last one.

Finally, he was seen.
