Chapter 502: The Way of Longevity
Lu Fan heard the screaming sound behind him, and the smile on the corner of his mouth raised a happy arc.
"Lu Yin!"
Lu Fan murmured.
He had heard of this name before. When Wu Kongling introduced the top ten families, the Lu family, Lu Yin, Lu Fan memorized the name.
It's just that Lu Yin turned out to be a little girl. Sure enough, there is still a big gap between reality and imagination.
Xiao Liu took Lu Fan to the backyard of Lu's house, this time Xiao Liu didn't fool him anymore, there was indeed a living room in front of him.
Xiao Liu said with a smile: "Mr. Lu Fan, I was quite offended just now, please forgive me. You can live in the guest rooms here as you like, and you can live in whichever one you want."
Lu Fan nodded and pushed open a door.
Elegant layout, fine furniture, spacious rooms, this is the way of hospitality.
Lu Fan said with satisfaction: "Well, then I will live here."
Xiao Liu Liansheng should be. Suddenly, the sound of poems and books came from not far away. Lu Fan listened attentively, only vaguely hearing someone reciting poems and books.
Lu Fan smiled and said, "Is there anyone reading around here?"
Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Mr. Lu Fan. We Lu family's children don't need to learn martial arts or practice qi. But books must be read. Whether it is a young master or a servant, at least one of them must be read. Bookshelf. Otherwise, you will be kicked out of the Lu family."
Lu Fan was surprised and said: "The rules of the Lu family are novel. Can I go and see where you study?"
Xiao Liu said: "Yes. Our Lu family welcomes outsiders to visit the academy. Mr. Lu Fan, please!"
Lu Fan followed Xiao Liu's footsteps and walked all the way to the depths of the house. After passing through a bamboo forest path, a bamboo house came into view.
Three or five children are holding the book shaking their heads and reciting aloud. Seven or eight scholars sat alone under the bamboo, carefully tasting the scrolls in their hands.
An old man who looked like a gentleman was giving lectures to more than ten people.
Lu Fan took a few steps forward and listened quietly.
"People in the world like life and hate death, so there is a way of longevity. There are two kinds of ways of longevity, warriors and warriors. Warriors practice, and warriors cultivate alchemy. In the final analysis, they are just to live longer. The first martial artist who cultivated a strong energy would definitely not think that the strong energy he created would become a more terrifying weapon than a weapon in the future. The first Qi warrior who trained a pill in the world would never have guessed In the future, pills can not only save people, but also harm people."
The old man walked with his hands behind his back.
Lu Fan heard it interesting, so he simply sat down beside him.
The old man continued: "However, after tens of thousands of years of evolution, until today, warriors and qi refiners have completely lost their original intentions. Practicing martial arts is not for strengthening the body, but for killing people. Alchemy is not for prolonging life, but for killing In order to increase strength. Therefore, for tens of thousands of years, warriors and qi refiners have grown countless times, but the lifespan of human beings has not increased much, but has been shortened. Thousands of years ago, the ancient human race had a lifespan of about 200, and warriors could reach 500. Golden pills can be over a thousand years old. But now, it is rare to see a hundred-year-old. Warriors who can be over three hundred years old are few, and Qi refiners who are over five hundred years old are rare. The cart before the horse is like this. We Lu family children, You must not make this kind of mistake. The way of strength is ultimately a small way. Those who have the great way will live forever!"
A group of Lu family children nodded accordingly.
Lu Fan said with a smile at this time: "Dare to ask, sir, how can you live forever without strength?"
Suddenly, a group of people turned their attention to Lu Fan.
The old man stroked his beard and said, "A wise man will live forever."
Lu Fan shook his head and said, "Only those who are wise know the value of power. For example, before natural disasters, ordinary people can only scatter and flee for their lives, but warriors can lift up mountains and rivers."
The old man smiled and said: "A wise man will prevent natural disasters before they occur. For example, floods can build dams, and droughts can divert rivers and seas. Why should we be afraid of natural disasters? So what if there are warriors? This young master is not a child of the Lu family .”
Lu Fan bowed and said, "Lu Fan, Prime Minister Lu's guest!"
Hearing Lu Fan's name, the group of people in front of him immediately raised their heads and looked at him with burning eyes.
The old man said: "It turned out to be Donghua swordsman Lu Fan. The name of the young master has spread throughout the capital. If the old man is lucky, please tell me."
Lu Fan smiled and said, "It's an honor."
After speaking, Lu Fan followed the old man into the bamboo house. Outside, a group of Lu family children continued to study.
There are no tables and chairs, only two futons.
Lu Fan sat opposite the old man, and a woman in white beside him immediately poured tea for them.
The old gentleman looked at Lu Fan and said with a smile: "I heard that the young master asked just now, and it seems that he doesn't take the way of longevity seriously."
Lu Fan said: "There are some. From what I see, people who live forever must practice martial arts or alchemy. Ordinary people, no matter how wise they are, can live for a long time. Therefore, strength is the foundation and everything. It is an add-on. Life is alive, vigorous and vigorous, if it is wonderful, why do you need to live forever."
The old man smiled and said: "Your Master Lu is a wise man. Master Lu, I just ask you one question. You know the realm of a warrior!"
Lu Fan said: "Why don't you know this. Inner Gang, Outer Gang, Yuan Gang, Di Gang, Tian Gang, above all is Wu Zun."
The old gentleman asked again: "Where is Mr. Lu?"
Lu Fan said calmly, "It's the first time I entered the Digang Realm."
The old gentleman smiled and said: "At such an age, you can enter the Digang, and you can be called extremely talented. Then Mr. Lu, you can feel the way of martial arts."
Lu Fan frowned and said, "I don't know what martial art you are referring to?"
The old man said: "It is the sense of the heart of heaven above and the spirit of earth below. Mr. Lu can feel it."
Lu Fan said, "Once or twice."
The old man continued: "Do you feel that everything is transparent and you can see everything clearly? It feels very good and your strength has greatly increased."
Lu Fan nodded slightly.
The old man said with a smile: "In this way, Mr. Lu should understand. At the end of the martial artist's cultivation, what he cultivates is actually the state of mind. If you continue to practice, when you can enter the Tiangang Realm one day, you will feel that the whole world is actually in the state of mind. Pressing you. Whether you are practicing martial arts or refining alchemy, in the final analysis, you are acting against the sky. The so-called penetrating heaven and earth are all illusions. The power you use is nothing more than something lent to you by heaven and earth. You can give it to you, if you don’t want to give it to you, you won’t give it to you. In the end, only your own heart is left!”
The old gentleman pointed to Lu Fan's heart.
Lu Fan felt a little enlightened, as if he had grasped something but couldn't grasp it.
The old man paused, and then said: "So, the fighters who have passed the Heavenly Gang Realm, and the Qi warriors who have passed the Immortal Qi Master, the power they use in the end is not from this world. It is the power condensed from their own hearts. Coupled with some rules obtained from my own comprehension of the world, it becomes the Dao domain. Where do these powers come from? It is still the way of longevity. The longer you live, the stronger your strength. If you can live longer than this world, you will be a new world."
As he spoke, the old gentleman gently grabbed an ant from the ground.
"For insects, chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs can live for a long time, so insects think that chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs are heaven. To chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs, human beings can live a long time, so human beings are heaven. For humans, heaven and earth It can exist for a long time, so heaven and earth become worthy of admiration like gods. But what if you live longer than heaven and earth? What will you become?"
Lu Fan's eyes were a little blurred, and after thinking for a while, Lu Fan said: "So that's the case, Mr. wants to tell me. Don't pursue power too much. Living is the last word!"
The old man laughed loudly, and said: "It's very good that you can realize this level. Sigh, you are not a child of the Lu family. If you are, I really want to teach you more things."
Lu Fan said: "Listening to Mr.'s words has given the students a lot of insight. Can I come to lectures more often in the future?"
The old man smiled and said, "Of course it is possible."
Lu Fan picked up his teacup and bowed to the old gentleman.
. . . . . .
For a whole day, Lu Fan listened quietly to the old man's side.
At night, Prime Minister Lu finally returned to Lu's house from the palace.
With a faint smile on his face, it was obvious that this trip was rewarding.
"Lucky boy, I didn't expect His Majesty to expect so much from him. Now it's up to this kid to live up to expectations. As long as he can get a good ranking in the selection, he will become the most dazzling person in Wu'an Kingdom." Nouveau riche. Oh, why didn't I have such a good life back then!"
While muttering in bits and pieces, Prime Minister Lu slowly stepped down from the carriage.
Back in the study, Prime Minister Lu called an old man who looked like a butler and said, "How is Lu Fan doing in my Lu family today? What did you do?"
The old housekeeper smiled and said, "Master Lu went to Lu Yin's boudoir first, causing Lu Yin to lose his temper and smashed several tea bowls."
Prime Minister Lu chuckled lightly and said, "This Lu Yin probably thinks of Lu Fan as an imaginary enemy, well, he probably didn't trick anyone. That's why he lost his temper, and then what?"
The old housekeeper continued: "Then Xiao Liu followed your instructions and brought Lu Fan to the academy. The young man was really curious, so he went to the academy to read it. He was completely fascinated after hearing Bai Lao's theory of longevity. Still listening to it now."
Lu Chengxiang smiled happily, and said: "Okay, that's what we want. This son has more than enough righteousness, but not enough flexibility. Let him learn more from Bai Lao, and it will be of great benefit in the future, whether he is in the court or in the rivers and lakes."
The old housekeeper said: "Not only that, he has learned the way of longevity of our Lu family. In the future, he will be a member of our Lu family. No matter how bad it is, he also owes our Lu family a great favor. With the attitude of a gentleman like this character, kindness must be reciprocated."
Prime Minister Lu picked up his teacup, shook his head and said, "The one who knows me is the old housekeeper!"
