Realistic Longevity

Outside the security line, under the parasol, on the small round table.

An orange kitten was curled up on Tang Ran's thin windbreaker, its four paws were tucked under its belly, its ears were softly drooping, its belly heaved and fell regularly, and it was sleeping soundly.

Cheng Chuhua stood on the left, and Tang Ran stood on the right, staring at the palm-sized kitten with two pairs of eyes, not daring to vent their anger until Zhuang Shuai ran over and patted each of them on the back before blocking their throats Li's tone was smooth.

"Where is the cat?" Zhuang Shuai asked repeatedly.

"Shh-"

Cheng Chuhua and Tang Ran reached out to cover his mouth at the same time.

On the windbreaker, the little orange cat shook its ears, turned its head to the other side and rested its front paws, still sleeping soundly.

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Yang arrived a few steps late. Seeing this, he lowered his voice and asked strangely: "What's the matter? Is this cat weird?"

The corner of Cheng Chuhua's mouth twitched, he pointed to the front stone table next to it that was almost shattered into powder, and said softly: "It was woken up just now, raised its paw and slapped it like this—"

He made a gesture of raising his hand and pressing down: "That stone table has become like this."

Lu Yang: "..."

Zhuang Shuai: "..."

Zhuang Shuai covered his mouth without them doing it for him.

Lu Yang waved his hand to signal others not to approach here, then pulled Zhuang Shuai back a few meters, and whispered: "Mr. Cheng, where did you find this little ancestor? We have searched all the ruins before and have never seen this one." The shadow of a cat."

Cheng Chuhua smiled wryly: "Do you believe me when I said I just put a stone in my chest?"

Lu Yang didn't say whether he believed it or not, but asked, "What does that stone look like?"

"Orange, oval, with some light gray patterns—" Cheng Chuhua described it while recalling it. He felt something was wrong while talking, and couldn't help but look at the little orange cat. Tang Ran and the others followed his lead I looked over.

The kitten was orange, oval in shape, with light gray patterns evenly distributed from the top of its head to the tip of its tail, not to mention exactly the same as the stone in his memory, it was exactly the same.

"Are you sure what you're holding is a rock?" Zhuang Shuai cowered behind Lu Yang, staring at the little orange cat with only half of his head exposed.

"Of course, can I still not tell the difference between a stone and a cat?" Cheng Chuhua nodded very positively.

"It seems that the stone you picked is not simple. It may be some ancient beast that was seriously injured in the thunder calamity. It has survived until now, and it was unsealed by you as soon as you touched it." Tang Ran briefly restored the stone according to his narration. The process of becoming a cat.

"Why..." Cheng Chuhua frowned, raised his hands to look left and right, "I will unblock it as soon as I touch it?"

"Maybe it's not that you can unseal it once you touch it, but that as long as someone touches it, the seal will be unsealed automatically. But I don't know the exact reason, it's just a guess." Tang Ran waved his hand and took out the sound transmission from his pocket. Yi, "I have no choice but to notify the headquarters first and ask the ministers to deal with it. Cheng Chuhua, what do you think?"

Cheng Chuhua said without thinking, "I have no objection."

Although he found the cat, considering the origin and strength of the cat, it is better to hand it over to the special department.

As soon as Cheng Chuhua finished speaking, Tang Ran didn't turn on the sound transmission device. The little orange cat who was already asleep suddenly froze and turned to look in their direction.

The kitten changed from lying down to squatting, and a pair of golden pupils looked like two small suns, and also like burning golden flames, dazzling and unstoppable.Its ears stood upright, its tail slapped lightly around its side, and with a movement of its small paws, it made deep cracks in Tang Ran's windbreaker and the table underneath, making a scalp-numbing sharp sound.

The cold sweat of the four of them came down in an instant.

Tang Ran reflexively raised his hand in front of Cheng Chuhua.

The kitten glanced at Tang Ran, then its eyes fell on Cheng Chuhua, and it opened its mouth to let out a cry like a cat or a tiger: "Wow..."

Its voice was soft, without any hostility or murderous intent, and the few people who faced him were slightly relieved.

"Can you understand us?" Lu Yang took a step forward, protecting Cheng Chuhua and the others, and said in a calm tone as much as possible.

The kitten tilted its head, and the light in its eyes dimmed a little, as if it was a little puzzled.

Inexplicably, Cheng Chuhua seemed to understand its thoughts, and said in a low voice: "It existed during the Jixia Academy period, and it may not understand our current language—have you studied the ancient language?"

"We don't even understand the mythology system, so we don't have the time to study the ancient language, and we don't have the conditions to study it." Lu Yang looked helpless, and stepped back a little bit to protect them, and met the kitten again. Line of sight: "Sorry, we have no malice towards you—whether you understand it or not, you should feel our attitude."

The kitten didn't know if it felt it, but it just squinted its eyes, making a gesture to move forward.

As soon as it raised its paw, everyone jumped back in fright, and the movements were more uniform than some boy group dances.

kitten:? ? ?

Cheng Chuhua confirmed that he saw three question marks above the kitten's head.

"you……"

The feeling of being able to understand the meaning of the kitten reappeared. Cheng Chuhua pulled Tang Ran and Lu Yang's sleeves to signal them to back away. He walked to the first place and met the kitten's eyes.

"Are you... Bi An?"

The word "狴犴" does not exist in modern Huaxia language. Cheng Chuhua used the ancient pronunciation of the ancient language, and it was the ancient pronunciation of the Dayue Dynasty closest to the mythical era. He wanted to see if the kitten could understand it.

Unexpectedly, the kitten really understood, and responded with a happy voice: "Meow ow——"

Seeing this, Tang Ran couldn't help asking curiously while heaving a sigh of relief: "What is '苴犴'?"

"Let's talk later, I'll see if I can communicate with it." Cheng Chuhua relaxed a little, and continued to speak in Dayue language: "We have no ill intentions towards you, you were brought out from Jixia Academy by me."

"Wow wow -" the kitten yelled again, this time Cheng Chuhua didn't understand.

After all, he is not a beast whisperer, and it is impossible for the kitten to understand everything he says.

The little cat looked at Cheng Chuhua and the others with blank faces. After thinking for a while, he raised his paw and pulled the windbreaker aside, and drew a line of words on the table—Da Yue's universal seal script.

This Cheng Chuhua is familiar, not only him, but also Tang Ran.

The two looked at each other, took two steps forward cautiously, and stretched their necks to read the words on the table.

—Who are you?Where is this place?Why can't I perceive the Immortal Dao of Jixia Xuegong?

Tang Ran could understand the general idea, but he couldn't speak, so he patted Cheng Chuhua: "You answer it, just tell the truth."

"Okay." Cheng Chuhua looked at the kitten, organized his words under its bright eyes, and said slowly: "It has been 10,000+ years since the era of Jixia Academy, and Jixia Academy was... Thunder Tribulation destroyed, this is the remains of Jixia Academy."

The kitten was taken aback, and then hurriedly carved words on the table——Jixia Academy is a place favored by heaven, how could it be destroyed by thunder?

Cheng Chuhua shook his head: "We don't know about this matter either. After all, it's been too long and there's no way to find out. Are you a member of Jixia Academy? Why are you sleeping in the ruins?"

The kitten's golden pupils turned golden red after being quenched by the fire, its ears were pulled back, and it stretched out its claws to engrave the words - I am Bi An, a legalist townsman, because he lost the word Lu Wu of the Yin and Yang family during the debate , so he proclaimed himself a hundred years to show self-punishment.

"But your self-proclaimed time is not only a hundred years, but more than 10,000 years." Cheng Chuhua explained based on the information learned in the past few days, "During these 3000+ years, the Jixia Academy was destroyed, and Jiang Luan created the heaven and the underworld. Reincarnation unified the five states of the human race and established the foundation of today's China. Later, the age of mythology ended and the secular dynasty was established, and it has been another [-] years."

In just a few sentences, the amount of information is extremely huge, and the little cat... no, Bi An was taken aback for a while.

——Jiang Luan?Is it the little Taoist boy of Taoism who has great ambitions and tries to integrate the learning of a hundred schools of thought?

"Wait a moment." Cheng Chuhua turned to look for Tang Ran, "Where's the video you just shot?"

Tang Ran understood his meaning in a second, trotted into the nearby tent, and soon came back with a Qiankun astrolabe: "Here, the videos are all in it, and you can operate the tablet now as you usually do."

"Thank you."

After receiving the Qiankun astrolabe, Cheng Chuhua called up the video, fast-forwarded to the part where Lei Jie destroyed the palace, then turned the astrolabe over and showed it to Bi An.

The 5-minute video, under Bi An's increasingly icy gaze, seems to have been extended thousands of times, as long as thousands of years have passed.

Cheng Chuhua's hand holding the Qiankun astrolabe trembled unconsciously. Behind him, the three of Tang Ran were also standing on end with chills and sweating profusely.

After the video is played, it automatically freezes at the last scene, which is where Anonymous bids farewell to Jixia Academy.

Bi An stared deeply at the person on the screen for a long time before slowly engraving two words in front of him—it was him.

Cheng Chuhua breathed a sigh of relief, and returned the astrolabe to Tang Ran: "Now is no longer the age of mythology. The Jixia Academy is destroyed, the heavens are silent, the underworld is not visible, and most human races have lost the ability to practice. The three people behind me came from The Special Department is the official practice department of the secular country, similar to the former Jixia Academy, but not as powerful and pure as the Jixia Academy..."

He briefly explained the existence of the special department, and Bi An nodded again and again, and the aura around him became much softer.

After he finished speaking, Bi An stood up and jumped onto his shoulder.

Cheng Chuhua only felt a golden light flash in front of his eyes, and there was an extra weight on his shoulders that shouldn't be light, but made him feel as heavy as a thousand weights.

"Wow wow-"

Bi An let out a soft cry, raised one of his front paws and pressed it against Cheng Chuhua's forehead, and a cold, youthful voice came into his mind through the soft pads: "I don't understand this era, so I will follow you for a while, okay? "

"Ah?" Cheng Chuhua was startled, subconsciously looking at Tang Ran.

Tang Ran asked strangely: "What did it say?"

Cheng Chuhua told them Bi An's request.

"That's it, then let it follow you." Exchanged a look with Lu Yang, Tang Ran nodded, "Until we figure out the origin of Bi An, we actually dare not deal with it."

Qu An is the first existence of the ancient era that has appeared in the metaphysical world so far. Tang Ran and Lu Yang can't even define its nature, nor do they know its identity, its strength, and the meaning it represents.

In this case, the special department dare not and cannot touch it, letting it follow Cheng Chuhua is the best choice at present.

On the one hand, the special department can use Cheng Chuhua as a link to gradually understand Qu An, on the other hand they can also keep the secret of Qu An's existence, and prevent some people in the metaphysics world from discovering it, approaching it, and using it.

Today's metaphysics world is certainly not the same as the age of mythology, but there are a lot of conspiracies and turmoil in it.

This era is too unfamiliar to Qu An, and it's hard to say how much power it has in its heyday. In terms of scheming, it must be inferior to those bugs in the gutter, and the special department will never let it fall into the hands of these people.

In contrast, Cheng Chuhua, who has no contact with the metaphysics world and has a good relationship with Tang Ran, is the most suitable to get along with Bi An.

Cheng Chuhua nodded, and said to Bi An, "Okay, then follow me."

Bi An grinned open his three-petal mouth, revealing a milk cat-like smile.

Seeing Bi An lying on Cheng Chuhua's shoulder, Tang Ran said again: "Cheng Chuhua, ask about its condition."

Cheng Chuhua froze his left shoulder and did not dare to move. He asked in Da Viet language, "How do you feel now? Has your strength recovered?"

Bi An stretched out his paws and pressed his side face: "I'm not hurt, I'm just sleeping, and my strength is not damaged. But today's Tian Daoxuan is unfathomable, and the three thousand Taoism seems to be silent, which will affect my performance to some extent. , the strength has dropped by about [-]%."

Cheng Chuhua simplified the translation: "Ninety percent of the strength in the heyday, very strong."

"It's not just strong, it's invincible!" Zhuang Shuai poked his head out, staring at Bi An with sparkling eyes.

"Not only invincible in this world, but also a living history in the era of contention among a hundred schools of thought." Tang Ran cared more about Bi An's experience in the ancient times than strength, and gave Cheng Chuhua a tacit look, "It, history, understand?"

Cheng Chuhua was helpless: "I understand, I will write down the relevant history and tell you when I ask about it."

Tang Ran gave him a thumbs up and clicked on him—a thumbs up for you.

……

After registering with Lu Yang, returning the ancient robe and the decree, Cheng Chuhua left the different space holding Bi An who had fallen asleep again, and returned home in Zhuang Shuai's car.

Because too many things happened at the ruins of Jixia Academy today, Tang Ran and Zhuang Shuai were in a hurry to go back to help, so they sent him back, told him to be careful these few days, and then left in a hurry.

Putting the sleeping Bi An on the sofa, Cheng Chuhua fell into the opposite sofa bed and let out a long breath.

After tossing around for a long time today, he obviously didn't have any physical exercise, but he felt extremely tired.

This muddy water in the metaphysics world is really not something he can wade through, and he is so tired.

After resting on the sofa for a while, Cheng Chuhua sat up and ordered two takeaways with his mobile phone.His portion is heavy oily and spicy fried noodles, while Bi An’s portion is light noodle soup, because I don’t know if Bi An will eat it, the soup noodle is ordered in small portions, if Bi An doesn’t eat it, he can barely eat two portions .

It's not a meal time now, the merchants are doing it fast, and the takeaway brother is also delivering fast. 15 minutes later, the takeaway arrived.

Putting the fried noodles and noodle soup on the coffee table, Cheng Chuhua unpacked the outer package, and was about to greet Bi An, when he saw the tip of his nose move, his ears tremble, and he opened his eyes spontaneously.

"Wake up." Cheng Chuhua said in Da Vietnamese language, "Come and eat noodles, this is a food unique to the human race, you must have never eaten it."

As he spoke, he pushed the soup noodles forward, rolled up a few noodles with chopsticks, and handed them to Bi An's mouth.

Bi An blinked, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and then turned into indifference.

It opened its mouth and ate the chopstick noodles.

"Well, it tastes good."
