Taiping Inn

This brings us back to the topic of longevity. This is the fundamental reason why most longevity techniques in the world come from Taoism.

Li Xuandu asked tentatively: "I wonder what method the national teacher practices to seek longevity?"

The national teacher did not mean to hide anything and said: "What I practice is the method passed down from generation to generation by shamanism. If translated into the Central Plains Mandarin, I call it the 'fundamental method of Changshengtian'."

Li Xuandu did not wait for the national teacher to ask, and also said: "The method I practice is quite complicated. The real method that can prove longevity is the 'Taiping Qingling Sutra', which is the fundamental method of the ancient Taiping Dao."

The national teacher nodded, without asking further, and said: "I encountered a problem in the process of extending the life of the old Khan, which is the pure warrior mentioned by the messenger just now. The pure warrior feeds on flesh and blood to strengthen his own vitality. I inject the vitality of others into the old Khan through blood sacrifice. The two are actually the same principle, but there is a big problem with this approach."

Li Xuandu understood immediately and said, "It's almost at its limit."

"That's right." The national teacher nodded and said, "The body of a pure warrior is like a vessel. After absorbing the vitality, he digests it, then nourishes his soul and body, expands the capacity of the vessel, so that it can accommodate more vitality, and repeats this cycle to achieve immortality. But the container of the old Khan does not have the ability to digest, so it cannot be expanded. The current dilemma is that the vitality that the old Khan can accommodate is about to reach its limit. The old Khan can only absorb a very small part of it. Although he seems to be vigorous on the surface, the source of life is still slowly depleting. If there is no accident, the old Khan will still find it difficult to escape the fate of death, and after his death, his body will be incorruptible because of the huge vitality."

Li Xuandu fell into deep thought. The "leakage-free pass" he learned is actually the way to longevity, but there is also a key, which must be supported by a deep cultivation, and cannot be used for outsiders. In fact, this is the same as the "Five Qi True Pills" and "Five Poison True Pills". These pills can help people improve their cultivation rapidly, provided that their own capacity is large enough, otherwise there is a possibility of meridian bursting, so they can usually only be used to restore cultivation, which is the same as the dilemma encountered by the national teacher.

Li Xuan shook his head: "It is impossible to imagine. Legend has it that there are pills that can cleanse the meridians and marrow, which can change people's root bones and qualifications, but they are extremely precious, and even emperors can't find them. Even if there is such a pill, it is too late for the old Khan at his age."

The national teacher did not have much disappointment on his face, and said: "Birth, aging, illness and death cannot be changed by human power. This is also the law of heaven. Although I have achieved the so-called immortal realm, I am still a mortal in essence. How can I change the will of heaven and earth?"

Li Xuan did not speak, thinking in his heart: "What is the intention of the national teacher to tell me the news that the old Khan will die soon? Is it unintentional? Or is there another intention?"

At this time, the national teacher again Said: "Now the old Khan doesn't know this news. He thinks he has at least a few years to live, but in fact, he may not survive this year, at most twelve months. For this, the Golden Horde will have to pay the price of tens of thousands of lives. I remember that the Great Wei now has 60 million people, and the Golden Horde has even fewer people, less than 10 million. Do you think it is worth it to exchange tens of thousands of people for twelve months?"

Li Xuandu took a deep breath, suppressed the shock and anger in his heart, and said: "For the emperor, it is certainly worth it, but for those innocent people who died, it is not worth a bit."

The national teacher smiled, "I think so too."

Li Xuandu was shocked again and looked at the national teacher.

The national teacher had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were deep, making it impossible to see what he really thought in his heart.

Li Xuandu was about to speak, but the national teacher waved his hand and said: "Thank you for answering my questions, I am tired, please go back."

How can an immortal be tired? It was just an excuse, Li Xuandu had no choice but to get up and say goodbye.

After leaving the stone chamber where the national teacher was, it was the short shaman who led Li Xuandu out.

…

After the birthday banquet of Xiao Yanshi ended, the kings dispersed.

As the host, Xiao Yanshi could not return to her bedroom to rest until all the guests left. Her bedroom was spacious and gorgeous. Unlike the old Khan who preferred gold, Xiao Yanshi preferred jade, so her bedroom was paved with green jade, and the dome was inlaid with jade to form a star pattern. Other decorations were also extremely luxurious and dazzling.

In the deepest part of the bedroom, there was a circular platform with three steps, similar to a throne. Scarlet curtains hung from the dome to the ground, covering the entire circular platform. Above the circular platform was a circular bed covered with soft fur. Xiao Yanshi lay on it diagonally, supporting her forehead with her hands, her sleeves slipped down, revealing her snow-white wrists, and on her slender neck was a necklace shining with dots of fluorescence, and the pendant hung down into the deep ravine on her chest.

Several maids stood at the bottom of the steps, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

A eunuch knelt at the bottom of the steps and bowed his head and said, "Reporting to Lady Yan, the envoy from the Central Plains went to see the national teacher."

Little Lady Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked, "Why does the national teacher want to see the envoy? Is it the old Khan's intention?"

The eunuch whispered, "It is said that it was the request of the national teacher, not the old Khan's order. As for why the national teacher wants to see the envoy from the Central Plains, please forgive me, Lady Yan, it is not for me to know."

Little Lady Yan was silent for a moment, and ordered, "Feng Niang, reward him with 100 taels of gold."

One of the female servants standing there stepped out, holding a wooden box that had been prepared long ago.

The eunuch immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Lady Yan, for the reward."

After saying that, the eunuch stood up and took the wooden box and slowly left the place.

After a while, Xiao Yan suddenly stood up, lifted up the curtain, walked down the steps, came to the back hall of the bedroom, reached out and turned a palace lantern, and then saw several jade inlaid on the wall suddenly lit up, and these lights intertwined. It forms an illusory portal, with light like water waves rippling, which can vaguely reflect the gorgeous face of Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, walked through the light curtain, and entered the portal.

The next moment, she appeared in an equally gorgeous stone room, with a beautiful big bed and a dressing table screen, but there were no doors or windows around, which was a little depressed and dim.

Obviously, this is a secret room built underground, which can only be entered through some magic means, which is very secretive and safe.

Xiao Yan walked to the dressing table and sat down slowly, saying to himself: "The national master summoned the envoy of the Central Plains. What did you think this old fox had?"

"The national teacher is cunning and cunning. He talks about the way of heaven on the surface and pretends to be indifferent to the world, but in fact he is very planning." A voice suddenly sounded behind Xiao Yan's family, slightly hoarse and magnetic, but not male and female. He didn't have much respect for Xiao Yan, as if he was just a chat with his close friends in his boudoir.

"Does Lao Khan know?" Xiao Yan asked again.

"Of course, Lao Khan knows it, but the profit is so clear that Lao Khan is about to die. He has no way out and he can only choose to trust the national teacher unconditionally, so what is the difference between knowing and not knowing?" the voice replied.

Xiao Yan turned around suddenly, and there was a figure standing behind her, wearing a purple veil and a purple veil on her face, making people unable to see her true face, but her eyes exposed outside the veil were It was extremely moving, with eyes flowing, as if the autumn water was filled with a faint purple mist.

Xiao Yan asked, "What do we want?"

The man in purple said calmly: "Do nothing, just wait and see what happens."

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and said, "But Lao Khan has confirmed the candidate for the new Khan. Are we just watching?"

The woman in purple walked to Xiao Yan's body, reached out to stroke her face, and touched her fingertips lightly with her white skin, causing Xiao Yan's body to tremble slightly.

The woman sighed, "You are always so impatient. There is a saying in the Central Plains, "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind us. As long as we reveal this news to the Da Yan, she will take action. We just need to watch the show." ”

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.
