The Charismatic Charlie Wade
Chapter 5285
You also know Rejuvenation Pill?!â Charlie nodded, and said calmly, âI know.â
There was a word, but Charlie didnât say it.
That is, in fact, when he came, he specially prepared a Rejuvenation Pill for her.
She couldnât help but exclaimed: âYou are indeed a person with great supernatural powers,
just like Old Ancestor Meng!â
Charlie only smiled slightly but was even more horrified in his heart.
So far, although he has benefited a lot from the âNine Profound Heavenly Scripturesâ, he still
doesnât know who wrote it.
Now, when he learned that Meng Changsheng had already refined the
Rejuvenation Pill more than a thousand years ago,
And gave two Rejuvenation Pills to the ancestors of the Jiang family, he couldnât help asking
himself in his heart:
âCould it be that what I got? Is the âNine Profound Heavenly Scripturesâ written by Meng
Changsheng?â
âThe antique that the father-in-law knocked over in the Antique Hall of the
Song family was indeed a Tang Dynasty jade pot and spring vase, and Meng
Changsheng was also a person from the Linde period of the Tang Dynasty,â âIn this way, the
general dynasties are consistent, and coupled with the information related to Rejuvenation
Pill that I learned from Mrs. Jiang, this inference seems to be really possible...â
However, Charlie also knew very well that it was impossible based on these two points alone,
it can be concluded that the âNine Profound Heavenly Scripturesâ was written by Meng
Changsheng.
If he really wants to prove this matter, at least he has to find more clues.
So, he put this question to the bottom of his heart for the time being, and asked Mrs. Jiang:
âMrs. Jiang, may I ask how long that old ancestor of your family lived?â
The old lady said: âHe died in 863 A.D., the fourth year of Xiantong, and lived to be 113 years
old. Because the wife and children of the ancestor Meng were buried in the middle of the
back mountain,â
âSo my ancestor was buried in the middle of the mountain after his death. At the foot of the
back mountain, the descendants of our Jiang family will also be buried at the foot of the
mountain.â
Charlie couldn't help sighing: âHe lived to be 113 years old, minus the 40-year life span of the
two rejuvenating pills, He also lived to be seventy-three years old on his own, which was very
rare in that era.â
According to statistics from some unreliable scholars, the average life expectancy of the Tang
Dynasty was about 40 or even 50 years old.
However, their statistics and research are very one-sided. They only count the ages of those
recorded people when they died from the epitaphs that can be found and recorded history
books, and then calculate a so-called average age.
But they overlooked a big problem. Those who can leave their names in the history books,
own a tombstone, and have someone engrave the epitaph are themselves the elite class of
that era.
Moreover, many children who died young and unmarried young people did not leave
tombstones after their deaths, let alone those ordinary people who died and buried them
hastily with straw mats.
Therefore, the average life expectancy of the elite class calculated by the elite class has no
real meaning.
Verifiable history shows that the average life expectancy of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty
was only about 44 years old. This was the most elite class in the Tang Dynasty and assembled
the best means of living and production in the country.
Many objective scholars believe that if the high mortality rate of infants and young children
and the average life expectancy of ordinary people are included, the real average life
expectancy of the Tang Dynasty should be around 30 years old.
Calculated in this way, the ancestor of the old ladys family lived to be seventy-three years old
on his own body, which is longer than any emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This is already very
remarkable.
At this time, Mrs. Jiang also nodded and sighed: âIt is recorded in the genealogy that when
my ancestor was 113 years old, he was not deaf, his eyes were not blurry, and his body was
still strong. Everyone thought he would live to be 120 years old, but when he was one
hundred and thirteen years old,â
âOne day he had dinner and sat in front of the charcoal fire for a nap when he suddenly said
excitedly that Old Ancestor Meng had sent a white crane to pick him up and he passed away.â
Charlie said: âIt seems that your ancestors really have a deep relationship with that ancestor
Meng.â
âYes.â The old lady said: âThe ancestors left the ancestral instructions before they were alive,
and the Jiang family members are not allowed to leave here for generations.â
âWe must always guard the tombs of Meng Laozuâs wife and children because Meng Laozu
told him when he parted from our ancestors that when he found the way of longevity, he
would definitely come back to find my ancestors and give him a good fortune...â
Charlie whispered: âSince then, this old ancestor Meng hasn't shown up again?â
âNo.â The old lady shook her head and said, âThe Jiang family has never left here for more
than a thousand years, and they have never seen the person in the painting here appearing,
perhaps the ancestor Meng failed to find a way of longevity, and maybe he passed away at
the threshold of two hundred years old...â
Charlie nodded and said: âIt is not impossible, although Rejuvenation Pill is a panacea, in
anyone Nothing on the body can be superimposed without limit,â
âRelying only on rejuvenation pills, one cannot live to be two hundred years old, even if one
has spiritual energy, one cannot live forever, if one wants to live forever, one must have other
chances.â
Even in the âNine Profound Heavenly Scripturesâ, there is no record of any method that can
make people live forever. The essence of âNine Profound
Heavenly Scripturesâ is more like a textbook on how to use aura,â
âBut how to make aura more powerful, so powerful that it is invincible and immortal? The
realm of immortality is not recorded in the âNine Profound Heavenly Scripturesâ.
Moreover, in the âNine Profound Heavenly Scripturesâ, there is no method that can make
people live for more than two hundred years.
The ability is close to that of a god, but there is no such kind of pill that can make people live
for three to five hundred years or even thousands of years.
Therefore, it is theoretically impossible for Ancestor Meng to still be alive more than a
thousand years later, and his life may have stopped at a certain deadline.
This kind of person spends his life only practicing and may die without a single person by his
side. He is driving westward in a cave in a deep mountain and old forest, and in the end, he
cannot escape those six words: dust to life, life to dust and return to the soil. Thinking of this,
Charlie asked the old lady again:
âGrandma, your people, haven't you left here for so many years?â
She said, âWe hoped that we can stay here, but at the same time hope that we can know the
affairs of the world, so the Jiang family has always attached great importance to reading.â
âWhen I was young, my father asked me to study, and later sent me down the mountain to
study in middle school for so many years, some descendants couldn't hold back and sneaked
out, but most of them have been living here...â
Charlie asked her: âLiving here must be very difficult, right?â
The old lady laughed: âIn this deep mountain, except for being sick and troublesome, eating
and drinking are not a problem.â
âOur people have been farming in spring and summer and hunting in autumn and winter. We
have been here, so we can guarantee that the family inheritance has never been broken.â
Charlie asked again: âAre the other people in this village all your clan members?â
The old lady said: âNow there are many people and those surnamed Jiang are fewer.â
As she spoke, she sighed, âFor more than a thousand years, the population of the Jiang family
has not been prosperous, especially the number of males. In the early years, we had many
female descendants who wanted to marry.â
âThere are more and more people with foreign surnames, and they are all menâs strong
laborers. Gradually, the yang will flourish and the yin will decline, and the Jiang familyâs right
to speak will gradually become smaller and smaller; â
Many men who marry into the family agree that the child they give birth to will follow the
woman's surname, Jiang. The method is that Jiangâs family is a womenâs family, and their
arms can't twist their thighs, so they gradually let them go;â
âA man with a different surname will give birth to several children with a different surname,
and the children with a different surname will marry other people with a different surname.â
âAs time went by, there were fewer and fewer people with the surname Jiang. The older
generations are all related, but there are almost no ones with the surname Jiang, only my
mother and I were left.â
Charlie nodded slightly, and asked her: âDoes the descendant of the Jiang family hope to wait
here for the appearance of Meng Laozu?
âIf the ancestor can appear, if he can really wait for the chance of immortality that the
ancestor Meng promised to the ancestor, it will definitely start a new life...â
