[Comprehensive] Why am I not dead yet?

Lian Su was born in Guigu, and is proficient in the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams organ Yanjia. Let alone the longevity technique, Zhao Zheng still knows that his wife can make a mechanical doll.

After all, they were also a couple who had been close to each other for so many years. It would be pure nonsense to say that Zhao Zheng didn't know anything about Lian Su; Using this as the initial basis, together with a part of the manuscript left by his wife during his lifetime, a doll was created.

He called this puppet Kuaiji Zero Type, and in the history of pan-humanity, this puppet is more widely known as "Xiang Yu".

It's not just for one person's loyalty, the first purpose of driving this doll is to "protect the world's well-being". The original purpose is to protect the future heir of the Qin State, remove all obstacles for him in the future, and bless the future of Great Qin. .

However, no one expected the changes in the sand dunes after the death of the first emperor. Fusu committed suicide, Huhai ascended the throne, and killed all his brothers and relatives. Mind, as the most fundamental foundation of this country, has enabled this once impoverished and decayed country to last for more than 500 years in this troubled age.

——Growth, transformation, and strength. The blood of more than [-] former kings has flowed to this day. The Great Qin Dynasty finally achieved the grand goal of unifying the world in the generation of Qin Wangzheng. time.

After that, it was troubled times to contend for the hegemony.

After the Kuaiji Type Zero was activated by Xiang Ren, it began to be active in the world of pan-human history under the name "Xiang Yu".

And then...

It is the story of Farewell My Concubine and Wujiang committing suicide.

However, those distances are too far away now, so it is better to focus on the present as the primary goal.

Zhao Zheng followed Lian Su through the woods near Handan City to collect the materials she needed. He couldn't help in this regard. When a person goes to find ready-made materials and puts them in front of him, how to find the most suitable materials in this primitive woods is completely ignorant to Zhao Zheng.

In fact, he is still thinking about the way of longevity and Susu's background.

At the beginning, he didn't have any attachment to the longevity technique. His initial ideal was big, but also very simple. After sweeping the six kingdoms and conquering the world, after gaining the highest right to speak, he gave his wife the status and glory she deserved, and then watched Fusu grew up and transformed into a qualified king of the Qin Dynasty. They even selected suitable officials who could assist Fusu in the future. The Emperor Qin's Mausoleum in Lishan was built for many years, and a place was reserved for his wife early on.

Live in the same quilt, die in the same hole.

Lian Su died suddenly, but it was not unexpected.

The first few days when she was by her side were considered unhealthy. At that time, King Qin's power was emptied, and the Queen Mother of Qin lived extravagantly, and the young King Qin didn't have much ability and time for her to take care of her body; On the contrary, it was the time when Lian Su was struggling the most.

In the past, there was Lu Buwei who controlled the whole dynasty, and later there was Zhao Jilao, who was eyeing him like a tiger. Lian Su relied on pushing Zhao Ji to use his strength to suppress Lu Buwei. However, once these two people were involved, there was absolutely no way to avoid the influence on Ying Zheng. With Zhao Zheng's guarantee and promise, she couldn't avoid scruples about what kind of negative effect the queen mother of Qin would have on the country. She didn't dare to do it at will, but tried her best to try to get the biggest win with the smallest impact.

Because of this, she and Li Si, who stood above the court, were both allies and rivals at the same time.

Said to be allies, it is because of the fact that they serve the king of Qin, the purpose of the two is the same,

Her existence is too hidden, and her influence on King Qin is too profound. Even if she knew that Zhao Ji's incident was indeed too shocking, it would be understandable that her son Ying Zheng was not close to her... But not only did King Qin completely let her go, he let her find a way to deal with it. Zhao Ji didn't talk about this matter, and said more than once that she would never be angry or sad, let alone do anything to her, and repeatedly warned Li Si not to use this matter to try to deal with Lian Su - in the harem, there is no queen The name has more exaggerated power than the queen.

With such treatment, that woman couldn't stop Li Si from worrying and jealousy.

That is to say, in the later period, Zhao Ji was encouraged by Lai Ai to rebel against the King of Qin, and it was so absurd to let the son born to her and her male favorite replace the blood of King Qin to become the king. The three clans chased and killed the remnant party, imprisoned the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, and finally drove Lu Buwei into the mud from the sky on the grounds of the emperor's anger.

Otherwise... Maybe she was too distracted to figure out how to stop Li Si from muttering about her all the time.

But no matter what, this experience also exhausted Lian Su physically and mentally. She couldn't come forward and had no real power. The person she had to deal with was still her husband's biological mother, an important minister of the Qin State. She couldn't ignore the impact of directly killing Zhao Ji on the state of Qin and the king of Qin. She was worried and depressed all the year round, Zhao Ji was imprisoned, and Lu Buwei committed suicide by drinking poison. A chance to take a breather and rest.

... As a result, not long after the rest, she became pregnant.

At that time, Zhao Zheng considered asking Lian Su to give up the child more than once, and wait for her body to recuperate in the future, but she insisted on not wanting to give birth to the child. His life may not last long.

She is frank and calm, and her eyes are full of love for the child in her womb and expectations for the future, but Qin Wangzheng is different.He has just secured the throne, and neither public nor private can imagine the consequences of losing Liansu. The world is so big and so much belongs to him in name, but he can truly confirm that the only existence he has is this Liansu in front of him. white.

Why are you not afraid of death.

Do you have no nostalgia for this world, or no nostalgia for me?

"It is precisely because of nostalgia that this child was born. This is the continuation and inheritance of you and me. My blood and yours flow in him. If I can no longer be with you, you can't be like other people. People are so self-willed, you are a king, you have too many things to consider, if you can't hold on...at least you still have this child."

"If it's a boy, you'll make him the next King of Qin, right?" the wife said teasingly.Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly and smiled, holding his wife's hand.

"It doesn't matter even if it's a girl... So you can't leave so early, you still want to give birth to the future king of Qin, and you want to watch our child become the most noble existence in the world."

Lian Su laughed.

The moment she completely closed her eyes, she never told anyone that she had the chance to live forever, had the chance to accompany her husband for the rest of her life, or even forever.

But she never said it, she just closed her eyes calmly like a mortal.

...I can't keep her.

I own this world, I own this country, and I have a child with her, but I just can't keep her life.

It was probably at that time that the seed of longing for immortality was planted in Zhao Zheng's heart.

The first emperor sat on the world, but he couldn't ignore the human's instinctive fear of death.

And who can ignore it?If there is a genuine method of longevity in front of your eyes, will anyone really refuse this temptation?

Zhao Zheng didn't believe it.

But right now, he couldn't help but not believe it.

Said that Lian Su didn't understand anything, didn't know what the technique of longevity was, so he refused?

Probably not.

In this troubled world, the most indispensable thing is the brutal war, and people's sigh and awe of death.

Lian Su said that longevity is meaningless, so she really thinks it is meaningless-the cycle of life and death, the continuation of blood, people lament that the life of a mayfly is only a day and night, but compared with the sun, the moon, the mountains, the sky, the stars and the rivers that have not changed for hundreds of thousands of years, How can human life not be a mayfly in the eyes of heaven and earth?

In his last life, Lian Su also said that there is always something more interesting in this world than watching the vicissitudes of the world by herself, so she gave up the Taoyuan fairyland of Ghost Valley, and gave up the long and peaceful life that might be as long as a fairy. Time, with the posture of a mortal, stepped into the chaotic world of mortals, and died without regret.

Between the mountains and woods, a thin young man sat on the green grass with his palms resting on his chin. Not far away was the slender figure of a young girl dancing in the woods like a deer. He thought for a moment, got up and walked over.

The girl measured the branches of the tree with her fingers, and said to the person next to her without raising her head, "Do you want to ask me about the longevity technique?"

Zhao Zheng nodded hesitantly.

"Ah Zheng, I have seen many people live, and I have seen many people die, and there are even people I like very much."

Zhao Zheng pursed his lips and did not answer.

Lian Su said in a low voice: "Before, only Master and I were in Ghost Valley, and then there were senior brothers. There were so many senior brothers, they came and went, and each of them said that if they want to be famous, they would pick me up to play in the future. I am very obedient I waited in Ghost Valley for a long, long time... but none of those seniors came back."

"Senior Brother Yang, Senior Brother Yi, Brother Su Qin, Senior Brother Bai Qi..."

She calmly recited the names that once shocked the princes of the world, but her tone could not hide her loneliness: "I once thought, if Master hadn't reopened the gate of Ghost Valley and let them find their way back, I might He still has to stay in Ghost Valley for decades, hundreds of years...or even longer.

I learned from the brothers who came in later that they were all dead, but I was still alive.

Coming and going, back and forth, I watched them come and listened to them go. "

The girl was silent for a long time, then suddenly said softly.

"Before you, I sneaked out once...for a short time, no one knew."

Zhao Zheng was still thinking about how many years Susu in front of him had lived, but when she heard what she said, he couldn't help asking, "What did you do?"

"I... I went to bury Su Qin's bones. He doted on me the most. Normally, as long as the master couldn't see him, he wouldn't let me call him brother. He just called him brother." There was a nostalgic smile on the corner of the girl's mouth. But full of sadness: "Then, I suddenly knew that he was dead."

When she died, she was so desolate and old, but she was still the same as before, without changing at all.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that the distance between herself and these people could not only be explained by a ghost valley enchantment?

She will be loved and remembered by others, but her time is much longer than them, so much that she has to admit time and time again that she will always be the one who is abandoned...

Abandoned by the passing time.

Abandoned by short-lived humans.

Finally, abandoned by this forgetful world.

She is not afraid of the world and life and death, but this is the only thing she is instinctively afraid of.

"Azheng, I have magic in me. If the magic is not broken, I will not grow old and die. Of course, I will not grow up. But as long as I break the magic, I can grow up like ordinary people and experience their birth, old age, sickness and death."

She tilted her head and looked at Zhao Zheng's gradually serious face.

"Ah Zheng... I don't want to live alone in Ghost Valley for so long without knowing anyone or knowing anyone."

If you have never experienced death and will not experience death, how can you empathize with the sorrow brought by the dead to the victor?

Resting her head on her arm, she tilted her head and looked at this young girl who had light in her eyes.

"... Ah Zheng, will you be the one who makes me willingly unlock the technique?"

Zhao Zheng was silent for a long time, and asked softly, "What if I'm not?"

Lian Su blinked and turned his head away. "I will go back to Ghost Valley and continue to wait there for ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years... There are so many people, and my time is so long, I will always meet such people."

Zhao Zheng lowered his eyes and suddenly laughed.

Sure enough... still can't let go.

"Then...what if I am?"

Lian Su paused for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at him, and replied calmly.

"Then I will grow up for you."

Zhao Zheng smiled helplessly: "You will die, you will be very painful, you will be very sad... Maybe you will regret choosing me, regardless of leaving so many behind, from an immortal little fairy to an immortal An ordinary mortal."

Lian Su curled her lips: "I'm not afraid of that. What I want to do is what I think is worth it. As long as I think it's worth it, I can pay any price... Moreover, the feelings that the brothers once had, the things they felt in their hearts, I want to try it too."

Zhao Zheng's eyes were full of emotions, which finally formed into a smile on the corner of his lips.

"You... really won't regret it? In this world, if you want to follow the path of your senior brothers, you will have to pay far more than your senior brothers... Maybe you will do more than your senior brothers, The ending you got is not as good as your senior brothers."

The girl's eyes flickered and she let out a helpless sigh.

"I like my seniors. I just want to see the road they have traveled, so that I am willing to give more than them and get less than them... Then I have to like that person to do that."

Zhao Zheng grunted and stopped talking.

Yes.

...You have to like me so much that you can do this.
