Chapter 200 The Theory of Longevity
How big is Hu Ye? This question is not only Zhang Yuchu, Zhu Di asked him, Zhang Yu asked him, and even Zhang Fu asked him.
They couldn't believe that Hu Ye could show such maturity at the age of thirteen, so they all doubted the magical place of the Celestial Empire and wanted to see the place that could create a genius like Hu Ye.
In fact, Hu Ye didn't know how to answer how old he was.
I said I was twenty-five years old, but now I am only thirteen years old, but my mental age is just twenty-five.
He said that he was only thirteen years old, but he had experienced the changes of the times. He could be said to be an old turtle of an era, living longer than the country bumpkin he always claimed to be.
Hu Ye thought for a long time, then said, "First, the outside world's rumors about the fourth son of King Yan borrowing his life from heaven. I believe that Master Zhang Tian and Lord Yan Yan had heard it. But with your knowledge, you won't really think that I have the ability to borrow his life from heaven, right? That's just a little improvement in medical practice."
"Just like the typhoid fever in the past, wouldn't it be a death if I get it? But Sun Simiao found that it could be cured, so it would not be a big problem. The condition of the Fourth Young Master is the same. I just taught some medical skills learned from the Celestial Empire to the two old men."
"Second, about my age, if I say I am really only thirteen years old, I probably won't believe it either, but I am really only thirteen years old. Whether you believe it or not, my bones are only thirteen years old, and my figure is only thirteen years old. As for why I know so much, I can only say that human destiny is different. Just like some people have already buried their bones at the age of fifty or sixty. But the two have strong bones, and they can warm their bodies after drinking a few glasses of wine. Now they won't have sore waists and legs on rainy days."
"Third. It is the point you care most about. I can tell you clearly that even in the Heavenly Kingdom, immortality is just a joke. At most, it is to help people prolong their lifespan, because once they reach a certain age, the cells in the human body will gradually age, and that is not something that can be saved by elixirs."
"As for what cells are, you don't need to know, because you can't find them now. You just need to know that the longest living in the Heavenly Kingdom is only a few years older than you."
"I wonder if Master Zhang Tian is satisfied with my answer?" Hu Ye said a lot, then looked at Zhang Yuchu and how the person who was considered by the Ming Dynasty to be the most hopeful to refine the elixir of immortality would face his own problems.
Zhang Yuchu's face was solemn. He was able to be with Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years. His ability to observe his expressions was first-class. Naturally, it was obvious that Hu Ye had no lies at all, nor had any reason to lie.
"The matter of borrowing life from heaven can indeed be explained by medical skills. Regarding your age, early experience can indeed make a person mature very early, and his knowledge is much better than that of ordinary people. But this third point..." Before Zhang Yuchu could speak, Kong Ne spoke.
"I'll talk about this third point." Zhang Yuchu took over the conversation. Although he had some disagreements with Kong Ne, he and Kong Ne still had a common pursuit of Changsheng.
"I guess you have heard of the name of Zhang Lailuo, have you also heard of it?" Zhang Yuchu asked Hu Ye.
"Zhang Lai?" Hu Ye was stunned. What kind of name is this? Why is it even more weird than Zhu Baba? This Ming Dynasty was really full of strange things.
"You have heard of the name Zhang Junbao, have you ever heard of it?" Zhang Yu first changed his title when he saw Hu Ye not knowing Zhang Lai's name.
"Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng?"
Hu Ye was shocked. This name is very famous. Zhang Sanfeng was a world-renowned figure in the martial arts world when he was young. It would be strange if he had never heard of it.
"It seems that you still have some understanding of him, so do you know how old he is now?" Zhang Yuchu saw Hu Ye's reaction and knew that he must have known Zhang Junbao, so he asked curiously.
"What! You mean, that old guy is not dead yet!"
Hu Ye was shocked by Zhang Yuchu's words. He remembered that Zhang Sanfeng was born during the Song Dynasty. More than a hundred years have passed. Is this old thing not dead yet? Is it really like the novel, an immortal monster?
"Boy, be careful when speaking, just talk to us. You can't insult Senior Zhang's name." Kong Ne yelled at him, obviously very dissatisfied with Hu Ye calling Zhang Sanfeng old thing.
Although he was a descendant of the saint Confucius, he still had a lot of respect for the peak Taoist figures like Zhang Sanfeng. In this way, there was no longer any school dispute.
"Master Zhang Tian said that Senior Zhang Sanfeng is still alive in the world now?" Hu Ye touched his head. It doesn't matter if this hurts. The key is to confirm whether Zhang Yuchu's words are true. If this is true, Zhang Sanfeng will be an old monster who is nearly 130 years old.
Not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, even in the 21st century with advanced technology, it was unimaginable.
"Of course, I've met the ancestor before. But he traveled to the countryside and pointed out sentient beings. He has lived in a place without a fixed place. There has been no news about him for decades." Zhang Yuchu said firmly. He was very sure that his ancestor Zhang Sanfeng was still alive and lived well.
Hu Ye was shocked at first, and then recalled the encounter between Lao Qian and Zhu Di. Suddenly a funny scene appeared in his mind, "Dare you ask Master Zhang Tian, is the ancestor you saw white hair on his head and sloppy face, holding dust in one hand and holding a crutch in the other, and still relying on his old age?"
When Zhang Yuchu and Kong Ne heard this, they were very surprised and thought Hu Ye had seen Zhang Sanfeng.
"Haha, that's exactly what it is, that's my ancestor." Zhang Yuchu said in surprise.
"Then I'll ask you, have you seen your ancestor before?" Hu Ye asked suddenly.
After hearing this, Zhang Yuchu shook his head. Now Hu Ye laughed loudly. He had no reason not to laugh. The so-called ancestor Zhang Yuchu was simply a big liar.
Moreover, this liar has a profound skill and can not only deceive rough people like Lao Qian, but also cruel people like Zhu Di. Even Taoist people like Zhang Yuchu can deceive.
Hu Ye now admires the liar very much, and admires his ability to take everything from old to young. This ability to fool people is really the best in the Ming Dynasty!
"Why are you laughing?" Zhang Yuchu asked curiously when he saw Hu Ye laughing.
"I can't see through the laughter of Master." Hu Ye rubbed his belly, suppressed his smile, and said slowly.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Yuchu's face changed, and Kong Ne also looked at Hu Ye curiously, wanting Hu Ye to explain it clearly.
Hu Ye tried hard to suppress his smile, and then said to Zhang Tianyu, "Yan Shenggong, Master Zhang Tian, I will tell you two stories. When the story is finished, you will know why I am laughing."
Then Hu Ye began his masterful story, "When I just went down the mountain, I entered Brother Zhang's military camp, and then met my current guard. At that time, I was nothing, but this guard resigned from the position of the General Banner and did not dare to come to be a groom by my side. Such a person is either a fool or a madman, but after my firmness over the past six months, Lao Qian is neither crazy nor stupid."
"But why? Do you two want to know?" Hu Ye looked at the two old men with a smile.
"Because there was an old man with white hair on his head, a sloppy face, holding dust in one hand and holding a crutch in the other hand, telling him that a noble man in his life will appear in the future and let him follow this noble man, and he will be brilliant in the future."
"This second story also happened in Peiping. When Brother Zhang and I returned to Peiping, His Highness King Yan rewarded me with a house. The house was the residence of the General of the Yuan Dynasty and was very grand. Originally, the King of Yan should have rewarded those soldiers who had made contributions in combat, but His Highness still left it to me. Do you know why this is?" Hu Ye asked again.
Seeing that the two old men were frowning, Hu Ye stopped keeping it and said, "Later I asked His Highness the King of Yan. He said that decades ago, there was an old man with white hair on his head and sloppy face, holding dust in one hand and holding a crutch in the other. When he entered Peking, he told him that this general's mansion would be left to a destined person, and this destined person would help His Highness the King of Yan."
"I guess both of you have guessed it. The old man with white hair on his head and sloppy face in these two stories, holding floating dust in one hand and crutch in the other hand is actually the same person, that is, the ancestor of Zhang Tianshi. I wonder if you know why I am laughing now?" After Hu Ye finished telling the story, he looked at the two old men curiously, wanting to see what their expressions would be now.
"What do you mean is that the one I met was a liar, and that person lied to your guard and King Yan?" Zhang Yuchu paused for a long time and finally said this. Obviously, he did not believe in his heart that the ancestor he had met was actually a big liar who cheated the world.
"I believe that Master Zhang Tian knows much more about cheating than I do. The fact that he can deceive my guards and King Yan can only mean that he has a great deception. But the fact that he can deceive Master Zhang Tian can only mean that Master Zhang Tian has a knot in his heart, that is, that is, he believes that there is really an elixir of immortality in this world. You believe that your ancestor took the elixir of immortality, so he can live to over one hundred years old."
"In the eyes of the Heavenly Dynasty, this kind of thing is called self-hypnosis. While Master Zhang Tian suggested that he was your ancestor, he also took the tricks, Master Zhang Tian naturally regarded him as your ancestor."
"But the fact is that he is just a liar with great deception, and there is no elixir of immortality in this world." Hu Ye said loudly.
In fact, he really wanted to fool Zhang Yuchu, saying that there is an elixir of immortality in this world, and then fool him into refining elixirs for Zhu Yuanzhang, and it would be better to eat Zhu Yuanzhang to death.
