Chapter 323: Chatting on the Warm Couch

In the bedroom of Fengyang Villa, Xia Fan was sitting on the heated floor, recounting his return journey in the last half month.

Ning Wanjun took off her shoes, socks and fur robe, and lay on her side opposite Xia Fan, eating Qiuyue's freshly washed dates while listening to his stories. Especially after hearing that they took huge risks to rescue Qing Jian and then rode a giant dragon to break through all the obstacles in the Privy Council, even the last bit of dissatisfaction in their eyes disappeared without a trace.

"But what kind of magic is that? Could it be that you have learned a new alchemy based on the Thunder Technique?" When she heard the rise, the princess couldn't help but sit up straight.

"Actually, it's just the simultaneous use of multiple earthquake thunder techniques, but I didn't expect that its momentum would be so amazing, and it could even trigger strange phenomena in the world." Xia Fan said calmly.

"Well... this should be a new discovery." Ning Wanjun pondered for a moment, "Lightning strike wood is too expensive, no one will throw it like a stone. What's more, even for common medicinal preparations, alchemy requires more precision. Be careful and strive to exert its maximum effect in one use. I'm afraid you are the first to do this."

"It's just that its shortcomings are also obvious." Xia Fan smiled, "It can use up all the energy in one cast, and it can't choose the target independently like the flowing light spell. It's okay to deal with ordinary soldiers, if it's an agile alchemist , the effect it can achieve is very limited.”

"This flaw is nothing." Ning Wanjun said disapprovingly, "If it can play a decisive role on the battlefield, the army can design tactics around this technique. If you were in the frontier army at that time, you would definitely become a frontier army The core character here.”

At this point, she shook her head and laughed, "But even so, it is still an overuse of your ability. Unfortunately, I am not a Zhen type. I have basically read all the books you wrote, but until now I can only Just operating the audio device."

Ning Wanjun paused and changed the topic, "Since Qingjian is willing to leave Shangyuan with you, where is this person now?"

"Aunt Yan got off the boat early after entering the boundary of Shenzhou." Li answered - after talking along the way, she had already agreed that the other party was her mother's friend, "She said that during this last section of the journey, she wanted to walk over."

"Why?" Ning Wanjun asked in confusion, "It's freezing outside, and she was injured. Shouldn't she come to Jinxia City to take a good rest?"

"That's what I tried to persuade her to do, but she insisted on doing so."

"It probably takes time to regroup." Xia Fan understands Yan Qing's approach. She has stayed in the Gyeonggi Privy Council for more than 20 years and has been fighting for the goal of the merger of the six countries for half her life. Now she suddenly left. She was in a familiar environment, and the place she was about to go to was Jinxia City, which was destined not to be accommodated by the Privy Council. It was normal for her to hesitate.

And according to what Yan Qing said at the time, if he had followed them all the way to Jinxia, ​​Xia Fan would have arranged everything next - including accommodation, food, clothing and other necessary things. She doesn't want to be supported, and her perspective on Jinxia City will be affected. Since she wanted to have a good visit, she should approach the city as an ordinary person.

"So that's it." Ning Wanjun showed a slightly pityful look, "I thought Jinxia would have one more Qingjian. Are you sure she will come here in the end?"

"If what she sees along the way will not disappoint her." Xia Fan is fully confident in this, "What's more, Yan Qing also made a magic weapon for Li before bidding farewell. As long as Li needs her help, She will rush to Li's side as soon as possible."

Of course, that's not what the other party actually said.

To Xia Fan, it was clear that Yan Qing was warning him.

For example, if Li is treated unfairly or feels that Xia Fan's temperament has changed drastically, he can crush the magic weapon, and then Yan Qing will take Li Yuan away.

Ning Wanjun lay down on her side again while holding a date, and at the same time she exposed a small section of her feet from the quilt, "I didn't expect that the collapse of Yongguo, the reorganization of the Seven Stars, and the overseas envoys were all related to the Gate of Heaven, and that the news could still be blocked after a hundred years. It’s so tight, it seems like this door is really important. Do you think it’s necessary for us to look for clues about it?”

"There is never too much information," Xia Fan pretended not to see it, "but it is not worth investing energy in. And I have always had doubts about the door mentioned by the Privy Council. In their description, this The door is almost omnipotent, and if you can see it, it seems that all your wishes can come true. And King Yong has actually come into contact with the door - even if it is a black door, it should bring about some special changes, but the result is King Yong. When the body dies, the dynasty falls."

"What do you think they're hiding?"

"I'm more inclined to think that they themselves know little about the Gate. What we know so far is that the clues to the Gate of Heaven are not only found in the six countries, but there are also many rumors overseas, but they are called by different names. This has proven that as long as one senses Qi , may be exposed to it.”

Xia Fan analyzed, "Since this thing exists, it must be of great significance, but it is not to the point where it can easily turn the world around. Instead of putting all your hopes on the gate of heaven, it is better to focus on the present and do what you can do. "

"You are quite rational." Ning Wanjun glanced at him with interest, "But I can also understand how King Yong wants to see the door again at all costs."

"Why?"

"When he reaches that stage, he has neither power nor strength, and there is only one thing he wants." The princess curled up her cardamom-like toes, "'Eternal life.' And this can be regarded as the ultimate pursuit of the emperor, and it can never be achieved by conventional means. "

"Instead of relying on the door for longevity, it is better to rely on yourself." Xia Fan curled his lips.

"Wait," Ning Wanjun was stunned, "Don't tell me that you know the way to longevity."

"I do know a little bit. Let's put it this way, it is not as difficult as people think." He replied directly that people get old because oxidation is constantly eroding cells and tissues in the body. This is a dilemma made by life during evolution. Anaerobic organisms are not decayed, but the energy they obtain is limited; aerobic organisms are fragile, but the energy conversion efficiency is greatly improved. In the end, the latter relied on their energy advantages to stand at the top of the food chain with a complex and large-scale posture.

But this does not mean that aerobic organisms cannot live forever. As long as the damaged cells can be replaced in time, people can live forever. It's just that this function is blocked by a series of factors, so that most somatic cells will stop functioning after dividing fifty or sixty times, and the appearance is irreversible aging.

As for those cells that have gained unlimited division ability because they are out of control, they are called cancer.

In other words, keeping the body constantly updated is not contrary to any natural law or rule, and in some cases it can be achieved without external force. What really limits it is life itself - the immutability of individuals means rigidity, and in order to maintain the evolution and vitality of the group, life has added a lock to itself.

It is not easy to open this lock with purely technical means, but it is different with magic. At least in principle, it is much more intuitive than the Qianshu of giving life or the immortal magic of dragon scales. The living dead of the Fang family have essentially opened this lock of renewal.

In the past, Xia Fan always heard that all kinds of Taoist methods only seek longevity, but compared with those magical spells of flying and hiding, longevity seems simple and unpretentious.
