Chapter 5284

At this time, the old lady said again: “Meng Laozu was a Jinshi in high school when he was

young, and he was an official in the court, but later he resigned from the official position

because he got the opportunity to practice by chance, and came here with his wife and

children to devote himself to practice, but his wife and son soon died one after another due

to infection of wind and cold, and he was the only one left to continue practicing

Charlie was a little surprised when he heard this, and said: “In 755 AD, the ancestor Meng was

already in his nineties...”

“Yes.” The old lady replied: ” But according to my ancestor's recollection, when he met Old

Ancestor Meng in the fifteenth year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, that is, in 756 AD, Old

Ancestor Meng was just like the one in the painting, not at all like an old man who was nearly

a hundred years old.

Charlie looked at the painting again, and couldnt help but marvel in his heart.

The old man in this painting is skinny but strong in spirit. At that time, the average life

expectancy was no more than fifty years, and the old man in his fifties should look older than

the old man in his 70s and 80s now.

Therefore, the person in this painting, in the background of that era, looks like he is in his

forties, which is comparable to the spiritual old man in his sixties now.

But when the other party was in his nineties, he still looked like this, which proved that the

other party had indeed mastered the spiritual energy!

Otherwise, even if he got one or two Rejuvenation Pills by accident, it would be difficult to

live to such a great age, considering the background of the times and average life expectancy

at that time.

At this time, Charlie remembered the old lady's previous self-introduction, so he asked her:

“Grandma, when we met in Mexico, you said that the ancestor practiced medicine for

generations, and it was not until the Anshi Rebellion that the inheritance of medical skills was

broken. It happened when the ancestor met this old ancestor Meng?”

“Yes.” The old lady nodded and said, “In 756 AD, when the Anshi Rebellion was at its worst,

Anlu Mountain occupied Chang'an and opened the first year of Shengwu. The ancestor of my

family lived in Chang'an with his parents and grandfather.” “His grandfather and father were

imperial physicians in the imperial court. They escaped before Anlu Mountain occupied

Chang'an and went all the way south, but encountered rebels near there. The army killed all

the relatives of the ancestors.”

“At the critical moment, it was the ancestor Meng who beheaded all the way with his sword

and rescued the ancestor from the rebel sword. That year, my ancestor had just turned six

years old.”

Charlie suddenly realized: ” So the ancestor survived, but their medical skills were lost, right?”

“Yes.” The old lady nodded slightly, and said, “At that time, all the medical books handed

down by the ancestors were in the accompanying luggage. Among them, it is said that there

were at least three or five boxes, but at the critical moment, the ancestor's father saw that

Meng Laozu had killed all the way,”

“So he stuffed a genealogy tree and two phoenix bone bracelets into the ancestor's arms, and

then the ancestor's father used fire Oil and burned all the medical books, and since then, the

Jiang family’s medical skills have been lost...”

Charlie couldn't help sighing: “Countless classics were lost in this kind of turmoil. The

ancestor in the Tang Dynasty knew what Fengguteng is.”

“But now, in the whole of China and even in the whole world, few people know about this

kind of thing. Our current traditional culture and medical skills are all citing classics, but we

don’t know how many classics have long been buried in the long river of history...”

Speaking of this, Charlie suddenly remembered something, and asked in surprise: “By the

way, Grandma, you said there are two bracelets?”

“Yes!” The old lady said firmly: “The two bracelets are made of phoenix bone they were

originally a pair, and they were family treasures of the Jiang family.”

“After the ancestor was rescued by Meng Laozu, Meng Laozu recognized that the bracelet was

made of phoenix bone, and asked the ancestor if he would like to give one of the bracelets as

a gift.”

“To him, and in return, he is willing to accept the ancestor as a disciple. The ancestor was

helpless at the time,”

“So naturally he agreed without hesitation, and the ancestor Meng was indeed a gentleman,

he only needed one of the phoenix bone vines, so that the ancestor Keep the other one

carefully.”

Charlie asked again: “Then your ancestor also learned spiritual energy from this ancestor

Meng?”

“No.” The old lady shook her head and said with emotion: “It is said that those who are gifted

to master spiritual energy, It is hard to find among millions of people.”

“If there is no such talent, even a life of hard work will not be able to step into the door of

spiritual energy. Not to mention the ancestors, even the wife and children of Meng Laozu did

not have this talent... ...”

As she spoke, the old lady pointed to the picture of a child reading a book on the wall, and

introduced:

“my ancestor didn’t have that talent, so they worked as servants with ancestor Meng. They

said they were servants, but they were actually more like Old Ancestor Meng’s adopted son,”

“Old Ancestor Meng raised him by his side, taught him to read and paint, these three

paintings were all made by the ancestor when he was old, and the last one is his selfportrait.”

Charlie listened With emotion, he couldn't help sighing: “It seems that this old ancestor Meng

was indeed a god-man,”

“Not only had great supernatural powers, he was knowledgeable, and was good at painting,

but also had compassion, which is really rare...”

“Yes.” The old lady nodded slightly, Then she said again: “My family’s ancestors lived with

Grandfather Meng for more than 60 years, until 820 A.D. and the fifteenth year of Yuanhe in

the Tang Dynasty...”

“Patriarch Meng at that time was nearly 160 years old. , my ancestor was also seventy-one

years old.”

“At that time, the ancestor Meng told my ancestor that if he could not make a breakthrough

in his cultivation,”

“Or could not refine the elixir he wanted, he might not be able to live to be two hundred

years old. Determined to find another more suitable cave and concentrate on retreat; “

“When master and servant parted, Ancestor Meng, gave my ancestor some money and a pill,

and ordered my ancestor to live in the world.”

“If he got the way of longevity, he would definitely come back to increase the chances of the

ancestor;”

“Although my ancestor was heartbroken, he also knew that the relationship between the two

masters and servants was doomed,”

“So after the two said goodbye, my ancestor entered the world and married a woman in

Jiangyang Mansion not far from here to continue the incense;”

" After three years of marriage, he brought his wife and children back here to settle down

again,”

“Hoping to stay here to guard the mausoleum of Meng Laozu’s wife and children.”

“At the same time, he also hoped to wait here until Meng Laozu came back. This is dozens of

generations. People, more than a thousand years...”

Charlie was a little puzzled, and said: “Your ancestor and Meng Laozu were already seventy

years old when they parted,”

“And they were able to go down the mountain to get married and even continue the incense.”

“Under the circumstances, it’s really unbelievable, could it be that he all relied on the pills

that Grandfather Meng gave him before he left?”

“That's right.” The old lady sighed, “Ancestor Meng gave my ancestor two pills, one was given

to my ancestor when he was fifty years old,”

“And the other was given when they parted. According to the ancestral precepts left by the

ancestor,”

“These two pills were indeed the most precious treasures in the world. You only need to take

one.”

“It could make people look younger by twenty years, so when the ancestor entered the world

and got married,”

“Even though they were seventy years old, they looked like they were only thirty years old.”

Charlie was shocked, and blurted out: “Grandma, what did Ancestor Meng do for you?” Isn't

the elixir of the ancestor called Rejuvenation elixir?!”
