Eternal Life
Chapter 245 Eternal Life
The old peach tree is not only a carrier connecting Taoyuan Village and the real world, but also the center of Taoyuan Village, ensuring the normal operation of the entire Taoyuan Village.
At the same time, it also carries some "true" information about the world.
This information naturally refers to the previous owners of the Sky Swallowing Jar.
The swallowing pot has experienced many masters, from emperors and officials to traffickers and pawns.
These people used the Heaven Swallowing Jar to realize their wishes or desires one by one.
Some people use the sky-swallowing pot to be famous for thousands of years, some use the sky-swallowing pot to overwhelm the world, and some use the sky-swallowing pot to enjoy the glory...
However, most people have only one last wish—eternal life.
It's a pity that almost everyone failed, and only four and a half succeeded.
The first Valley of the Undying was established by Zhuanxu, one of the five ancient emperors. The undead people in the Valley of the Undying lived in the Valley of the Undead, and the undead people shed their molts in 60 years. The great-great-grandson of Zhuanxu, Peng Zu, is the longest-lived person known to mankind, and he is actually the undead people in the Valley of the Undying .
The second one is Zhuangzi, who is famous in history. If Zhuanxu is taking the path of eternal life with the body, then Zhuangzi is taking the path of immortality with the spirit.
He takes dreams as his sustenance, life is immortal, and dreams continue.He will live forever, Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly, a butterfly dreams of Zhuang Zhou, he is both Zhuang Zhou and a butterfly.
This method of proving the Tao through dreams and sending dreams to eternal life is really ingenious.
The third one is also well-known in history. He is Ying Zheng. He took a different path from the first two. He built the Longevity Palace and "refined" the elixir to obtain eternal life.
But his ambition was too great and his desire was too strong, so he was trapped in the Palace of Longevity and lived forever.
The fourth is a little-known businessman in the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was once the most developed period of Taoism. From the emperor to the traffickers, almost everyone respected Taoism. However, this small businessman used the magic of the pot to steal the treasure of Dongyue Emperor. In the position of Dongyue Emperor himself, he established Taishan Guishen and enjoyed the fruits of his predecessor.
Why do you say this, because all religions in human history are basically related to the owner of the jar. There are many smart people in this world, and some people want to use religion to harvest aspirations.
However, the previous generations of masters had bad luck, and the religion did not develop explosively. Until the Song Dynasty, because of the relationship between the emperor and the emperor, it ushered in an explosive growth. In the end, this small businessman named Zhang Suling picked the fruit, known as the Son of Heaven. .
The last one is the owner of Taohuayuan, a scholar named Zhu Daoheng, who was born in the fifth year of Longqing. He spent more than [-] years and failed in many trials. By chance, he got the jar of the toad swallowing the sky. Using the jar, he finally passed the Jinshi examination .
Then he spent half his life in the officialdom. Even with the help of the pot, he was still repeatedly demoted. In a fit of anger, he resigned from office and went home, focusing on the countryside.
Later, after experiencing the three dynasties of Taichang, Tianqi, and Chongzhen, the world was in chaos, the people were in dire straits, and lonely souls and wild ghosts were rampant.
As a scholar, even if he owns a magical object like the Heaven Swallowing Jar, he can't change the world, so he thought, to give these wandering ghosts a place to live, and thus Taoyuan Village was born. .
But there is also a reason why he disappeared later and Taoyuan Village became ownerless.
The first reason is that Zhu Daoheng is also an infatuated person, and the Zhu family can be regarded as relatives of the emperor, but the old Zhu family has a lot of descendants, and the family is in decline, and life is difficult to sustain, and it is impossible for him to study.
Until he met his first teacher, who not only provided him with education, but also married his daughter to him, so Zhu Daoheng and his wife were childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, and affectionate.
After the wife died, her soul returned to Taoyuan Village, but day after day, the wife got tired of this kind of life, and finally chose to return to the sea of souls and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.
On the other hand, it is because of the robbery, the sky-swallowing jar is originally something stolen from the sky, and its owner will naturally be jealous of the sky, so every Jiazi must have a robbery.
Of course, this catastrophe can also be resolved with the power of will, but it consumes a lot of money. In addition, the past owners have squandered wantonly. When the catastrophe comes, there is basically not much left. In the end, it will be turned into ashes under the catastrophe, and the jar will change its owner again. .
Otherwise, how could such a treasure change owners frequently.
Of course, there is another way, which is to hide in Taoyuan Village and never show up in the world.
The Valley of Immortality, the Palace of Longevity, and the Underworld are all existences similar to Taoyuan Village. They are not only a paradise on earth independent of the world, but also a place of refuge to avoid disasters.
So Zhu Daoheng chose to give up, returned to the sea of souls, and re-entered reincarnation, which is why it is said that four and a half gained eternal life.
……
Zhu Daoheng is a scholar, although he is a little pedantic, but he is a good man, a modest gentleman, and a loving man with love and righteousness.
That's why Song Ci can receive so much legacy from him.
Even though he has returned to the sea of souls and re-entered the reincarnation, he still arranged Taoyuan Village properly and left so many messages.
After knowing this information, Song Ci resolved his doubts. As for the robbery, he didn't care about it. It took 60 years for a Jiazi, which is still a long time.
Besides, maybe in the future, he will choose the same decision as Zhu Daoheng, just give up the Heaven Swallowing Jar and return to the Sea of Souls.
However, regarding the underworld of Mount Tai, because of Meng Xinyi's experience before, Song Ci felt that it might not be that simple. Otherwise, there must be a reason why the "Jie Monument" restricts walkers from approaching Mount Tai.
Thinking of this, Song Ci withdrew his gaze and looked at the two worried little guys beside him.
"Mr. Song."
Seeing Song Ci looking at them, Xiaomi Mili and Little Butterfly yelled again.
"Don't worry, it's okay, I don't think I kept you waiting too long." Song Ci said with a smile.
Xiaomi Mili and Xiaodie nodded excitedly, then looked at Song Ci expectantly.
Song Ci told them that the day he entered Taoyuan Village was the day they could go home to see their parents and family, and they had been looking forward to it all the time.
Song Ci looked at the boundary marker on the other side of the old peach tree. At this time, the inscriptions on the boundary marker emerged one by one, as if welcoming the arrival of Song Ci, the new owner.
"Mr. Song, you should go see Auntie first." At this moment, Xiaodie suddenly said.
Song Ci looked at her in surprise.
Seeing Song Ci looking at her, Little Butterfly said weakly, "Aunt Yaoyao has been waiting for you for a long time, that...that..."
She showed a face of embarrassment, because she was the one who tricked Yun Chuyao into Taoyuan Village, so when facing Song Ci, she always felt that she had done something wrong.
Song Ci understood her thoughts, touched her little head and said, "It's not your fault."
Xiaomi Li was also very sensible and said: "The village owner...Mr. Song, Xiaodie is right, you go to see Aunt Yaoyao first, we...we will wait a little longer, it doesn't matter."
Song Ci smiled, didn't answer what they said, and walked directly to the stele, looking at the lines of golden writing floating in the air.
But Xiaomi Mili and Little Butterfly just stood under the old peach tree and watched from a distance, they couldn't get close to the Jiebei Monument.
[-]. The "people" in Taoyuan Village are not allowed to enter and leave the world at will.
[-]. Newcomers to Taoyuan Village can eat a tripod.
[-]. A traveler can come and go as he pleases, and visit the human world, but he cannot stay in the human world for a long time, no more than seven days.
[-]. Pedestrians are not allowed to go back and forth to their former home or visit their relatives at will. Those who violate the law will be grounded. Repeated offenses will deprive the identity of the Pedestrian.
[-]. Walkers are not allowed to go to Mount Tai. Violators will be deprived of their identity.
……
Song Ci browsed the precepts one after another. These precepts, like the natural laws of the real world, maintain the operating rules of the entire Taoyuan Village.
Song Ci stretched out his finger, tapped lightly on the fourth article, and the golden text changed immediately.
[-]. Travelers can freely go back and forth to their homes and visit their relatives.
At the moment when the text was changed, Xiao Mi and Xiao Die felt as if a shackle had been lifted from their bodies, and their whole bodies felt a burst of relief.
But this is not over yet, Song Ci pointed to the first one again.
The moment he entered Taoyuan Village, he became the true owner of Taoyuan Village. Everything in Taoyuan Village was displayed in front of his eyes and under his control. Here, he is the omniscient and omnipotent god.
As the only god in Taoyuan Village, shouldn't it be a bit special?
Otherwise, what's the point of still being this god?
So the first text also changed accordingly.
One, the "people" in Taoyuan Village are not allowed to enter and leave the world at will, except for the wife of the village owner.
Just be special.
