Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Hu Lieyuan fiddled with the Buddhist beads, and his body felt longing and yearning, but he didn't wear it directly around his neck.

He looked up at Fakong: "I don't need to wear this now, right?"

Fakong said: "The sooner the better, if you wear it now, you can prolong your life in the future, otherwise..."

"It may not be possible to prolong your life by a hundred years?" Hu Lieyuan frowned, and his gloomy face became even gloomier.

Fakong said: "At least a hundred years, if you intervene earlier, you may prolong your life longer."

"How long?"

"It's hard to say." Fakong shook his head: "It may be ten years, or twenty years..."

"How long can it be extended at most?" Hu Lieyuan hummed.

Fakong said: "At most, it should be sixty years."

"One hundred and sixty years..." Hu Lieyuan chewed on this number, imagining that he could continue to live for another one hundred and sixty years.

Although being an emperor is not fun, sometimes he wishes he could step down from the throne and become an emperor, living a carefree life.

But in most cases, he wishes he could live forever and sit on the throne of the emperor forever.

Fakong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you worried about something fishy about the Buddhist beads?"

"If it were you, would you be worried?" Hu Lieyuan snorted, "You are here to restrain me!"

Fakong smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, what I wish for is peace in the world, and peace and prosperity for the people. I have no more extravagant requests."

"Isn't this an extravagant request?" Hu Lieyuan said unhappily, "This is the biggest extravagant request!"

Fakong said, "If your Majesty is not obsessed with unifying the world, the world will be peaceful."

"If I don't unify, Daqian and Dayong will also have ambitions. You see they are honest now, that's because they are too weak. Once the national strength is stronger, they may be more ambitious than my Dayun and act more cruelly."

Fakong nodded slowly.

This is true. No matter what position you sit in or what you think about, any emperor sitting in Hu Lieyuan's position will inevitably want to unify the world.

Hu Lieyuan snorted, "But I promised you not to invade, but if you Daqian and Dayong take the initiative to provoke, don't blame me for fighting back, it won't be considered a breach of promise."

Fakong smiled and nodded, clasped his hands and said goodbye.

He disappeared in a flash, Hu Lieyuan stared at the direction he disappeared, and then looked down at the Buddhist beads in his hand.

The weak power emitted by the Buddhist beads made him more and more unable to stop, and he was so eager that he wanted to wear it directly around his neck.

But he was always a little unwilling.

Just giving up the great cause of unifying the world, is it right or wrong? Will this step be a shame to the ancestors?

For a while, his face was uncertain.

This kind of entanglement and contradiction has been entangled with him, and on the other hand, the desire of the body is impacting, forcing him to surrender.

He also knows that once he surrenders, his spirit will be different.

Fakong stood in Xuankong Temple, watching him fall into contradiction and struggle again, shaking his head and laughing, this is the harm of a firm state of mind.

If Hu Lieyuan's state of mind is not so firm, he will not struggle so hard and accept it directly.

Hu Lieyuan had gone through many obstacles to make this decision, and there were still many obstacles to accepting the Buddhist beads after deciding to do so.

The dignity of the emperor determined that he would never accept it calmly.

If he had ordered himself to prolong his life and he had been forced to offer the Buddhist beads, he would have accepted it calmly, without hesitation, and happily.

But now he had been forced to make the decision, and the extension of life in exchange for a ten-year promise was not that tasteful, and the Buddhist beads became a shame.

He wanted to throw the Buddhist beads out of the sky, but he couldn't bear to do so. The desire from his body became stronger and stronger.

Fakong firmly believed that he would eventually surrender.

In the face of life and death, in the face of life span, unifying the world is not that important. Without life, what is the use of unifying the world?

The key is that he has been strictly adhering to principles for a long time, so that he can believe his words and not doubt too much.

This is the key to the key.

If he didn't believe in his words, how could Hu Lieyuan shake his confidence in unifying the world and surrender to life span?

After a long while, Hu Lieyuan finally figured it out. Since he had already decided to choose a longevity and a safe method, he didn't have to be hard on himself.

Fakong's Buddhist beads, it would be a waste if not used, and there was no need to be hard on his life.

So he put the Buddhist beads on his neck.

As soon as the Buddhist beads were hung on his neck, his body suddenly felt excited, and invisible power flowed into his body from the Buddhist beads.

In a moment, he felt the taste of youth, as if he had returned to sixty years ago and to his youth.

Not only was his body changing, but his state of mind also became younger. He originally thought that everything in the world was boring, and only the great cause of unification could attract his spirit, but now he felt that everything became novel and interesting.

Every blade of grass, every brick and every tile became so mysterious and interesting, as if it contained the truth of heaven and earth waiting for him to dig.

He looked down at the Buddhist beads on his neck in confusion.

The Buddhist mantra contained in these Buddhist beads was so magical? It could make his heart young and rejuvenated.

This is something that no mental method or elixir can do, but it actually did it. This feeling is really wonderful, and I wish I could stay here forever.

I often feel that no matter how powerful I am or how high my cultivation is, I can't make myself young again, and I can't get my young soul back.

This time, this string of Buddhist beads did it.

Living in the world with an aging mindset, everything becomes gray and unattractive.

Living in the world with a young mind is completely the opposite. Everything is bright and interesting.

This is a completely different way of living. The latter is a great enjoyment and can be said to be supremely precious.

Is this step right?

He couldn't help but think of this. He looked up in the direction of Xuankong Temple and shook his head and sighed.

This Fakong is really his nemesis!

Fakong finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction.

——

A bright moon hung in the sky, like a silver plate.

In the brightly lit courtyard, Li Ying sat opposite Fakong, sipping fine wine while chatting.

"This time, it was easier than I thought." Li Ying showed an unsatisfied look and shook her head and said, "It's meaningless."

The victory was too easy, and it did not put pressure on the masters of the Demon Sect, and there were no injuries.

These masters of Dayun were weaker than expected, and their fighting spirit was not strong, without the previous domineering.

The masters of Dayun that I had seen before were all domineering and powerful, but this group of masters had no momentum at all.

They seemed to be doing things perfunctorily, just rushing over to fight, and they didn't care if they couldn't win. They didn't plan to fight desperately, nor did they have the spirit to rush in.

In this way, the fight between the two sides was not fierce enough. They retreated as soon as they saw that things were not going well, and the masters of the Demon Sect had no intention of chasing and killing.

So this battle turned out to be anticlimactic, which made her frown and feel puzzled.

After thinking about it, she couldn't figure out the reason. Could it be that the martial arts masters of Dayun had a conflict with the Dayun court, so they acted so perfunctorily?

Fakong nodded and told Li Ying what happened. Hearing this, Li Ying frowned and shook her head.

Xu Zhijian disrupted the morale of the masters of Dayun. They had already won most of the battle. If they fought again, they would take advantage of the opportunity. No wonder it was so easy.
