I take the unicorn to the world

Chapter 229 Immortality

Hearing Wu Feng's question, the white-haired old man's eyes immediately showed a look of silence. He moved his eyes away from Wu Feng's body and looked at a dark hole in the distance, as if recalling the past. After a long time, he said lightly: "This matter is a long story. Since the old man started practicing Taoism at the age of 19, he has studied Taoism every day and cultivated painstakingly. At the age of 49, he came to Juqu Mountain and established Maoshan One pulse, imparting skills to apprentices, and helping the people around him to cure diseases; as time goes by, decades have passed in a flash, the old man has practiced Taoism all his life, and seeing that he is about to come to the end of his life, but he cannot find the way to live forever. Dharma, I really don't want to be reconciled. People like us who practice Taoism spend our whole life trying our best to pursue the method of immortality and immortality. At that time, seeing that the old man's death was approaching, and he was about to die soon, as the saying goes It is well said, death is like a lamp being extinguished, after swallowing the last breath, this old man's skin will turn into dust like an ordinary person, and I, Mao Ying, will no longer exist in the world!"

Speaking of this, the white-haired old man paused for a moment, slowly closed his eyes, and after waiting for a while, he continued: "The old man has studied Taoism deeply in his life, especially the study of corpses. The most profound, especially knowing how to control the corpse, and knowing how to turn the corpse into eighteen different types, what each kind of corpse will look like after it changes, and what conditions it needs to be formed. To say something that makes you, a junior, look down upon you, although the old man has practiced the Tao all his life, he still cannot see through life and death. The old man is also afraid of death, just like everyone is afraid of death. I went to Juqu Mountain and found this hidden place. This place is halfway up the cliff. Ordinary people can't find this place at all. The old man also found this place by accident when he was looking for medicinal materials.

"After the old man came to this place, in order not to let other people disturb the old man, he planted a plant all over the cliff called "Ghost Hand Vine". This plant is a cannibal plant that the old man discovered from the Western Regions. Grass, this kind of plant usually looks no different from ordinary vines, but when it encounters a living thing, it will be attracted by the breath of the living thing, and the whole body will dance, entangle the body of those living things, and then their stems Barbs will quickly grow on the body, piercing into the bodies of those living things to suck their blood, and finally completely suck them into a skin bag. This cave is covered by this "ghost hand vine" and some other plants I have been waiting for the old man for many years. There are still some big white rats living in this cave. You must have seen it. When the old man came here, these rats were not as big as the ones you see now. , Since the old man came, the ghost hand vines often prey on some living things near the cliff and at the bottom of the cliff. They usually drag these living things into this cave, and after sucking the blood, the rats will come out to share these animals. The corpses of ghost hand vines sucking up the blood, over time, these big white mice grew bigger and bigger, and some of them finally grew to the size of a calf. With these big white-haired mice, they can be regarded as a barrier to enter the cave , the old man didn’t care about them any more, but let the two big bats beside the old man catch a few and eat them every once in a while.”
