Chapter 809 Extra: The Mystery of Immortality (If You Want to Know the Secret of Immortality, You Need to Enter This Chapter!)

The content of the extra chapter is not related to the main text. You can decide whether to subscribe or not.

I have a half-written extra chapter in the draft box for a long time. I will write it out while the inspiration is still there.

It will not delay the normal update in the evening. There are still two normal chapters in the evening.

——

"Ding Dong!"

I was startled when I heard the notification sound of the mobile phone and woke up from my sleep.

It took half a minute for my violently beating heart to slowly calm down. I picked up the mobile phone on the table and looked at the time.

2:30 in the morning.

"Damn, it must be that old thing Zhang Yaobin who sent a message at this time!"

I cursed in my heart and clicked on [Tencent], and it was as expected.

"Li Yang, check your mailbox. Write a research report for me based on the information in it, about 30,000 words. Before noon tomorrow."

The text, combined with Zhang Yaobin's head portrait with a wretched smile, instantly made my eyelids jump and my blood pressure surge.

I have already greeted his ancestors in my head, but my fingers can't help but jump on the phone keyboard.

"Okay, boss!"

I sighed.

"I can't help it. Who made me have such a mentor? I have to bear it a little longer. When this paper is successfully published, I can graduate."

"There are six reviewers, four of whom are Zhang Yaobin's friends. Whether the manuscript can be passed or not is not a matter of his words. During this period before passing the review, I must be treated like a cow and a horse. It's getting worse."

Complaining in my heart, I clicked on the mailbox, downloaded the attachment, unzipped it, and checked the contents.

"Going against the principles of heaven and earth to prove longevity..."

"What a ghost."

The sleepiness dissipated instantly, and I couldn't help but sit up straight, staring at the picture on the computer.

Half a month ago, a strange thing happened in Baisejie area of ​​​​Southern Hunan Province. A thousand-meter-high mountain cracked from the middle, revealing a smooth cliff like a mirror. On the cliff, nine characters were engraved from top to bottom in ancient seal script: "Defying the principles of heaven and earth to prove longevity".

The local government acted very quickly. After the incident, the scene was quickly blocked. This incident has not yet been known to the public.

Because the ancient seal script in which these nine characters were written was the official language of the Xian Dynasty seven thousand years ago.

So the investigation team invited Zhang Yaobin, the chief expert in the history of the Xian Dynasty in China, to assist in the investigation.

See if we can find some clues from ancient books.

…

I looked at the time in the lower right corner of the screen.

"Today is not April Fool's Day, why are you kidding me like this?"

The moment I saw this information, my first reaction was disbelief.

"Lingyun Peak, more than 1,300 meters above sea level. The highest peak in the Baise area..."

I quickly searched for the mountain mentioned in the incident.

"Nine characters, more than a thousand meters. Judging from the distance between the characters in the picture, each character is at least a hundred meters in size."

"Even now, it would be a big project to carve them out on the cliff."

"Seven thousand years of Xian Dynasty? How is that possible?"

"But this handwriting is really good."

My thoughts paused slightly.

But Zhang Yaobin, this old guy, although he looks a little ugly and has a strong capitalist atmosphere. But when it comes to doing things, he is very particular about reliability. He would not use fictitious things to amuse me.

I quickly searched for relevant news about the Baisejie area on the Internet.

Sure enough, I found something strange.

"Family, I am a complete speechless child. I finally took the annual leave and wanted to travel to Baisejie. When I arrived at the entrance of the scenic spot, I was suddenly not allowed to enter! This feeling, who understands it!"

"Baisejie suddenly had an accident and the scenic spot was temporarily blocked. For your own safety, please cooperate with all tourists!"

"You may not believe it when I tell you, what exactly did I see in Baisejie..."

Before I clicked in, this content has been deleted.

"It seems that it is true."

"Xian Dynasty..."

Touching my chin, I couldn't help but think of the records about it in my mind.

The ancient Xian Dynasty was the first dynasty with written records.

And there was a huge civilization gap between it and the second dynasty [Yu].

The eras of the two dynasties were almost 800 years apart. To this day, no one knows what happened in the lost 800 years. How did the extremely prosperous ancient Xian Dynasty perish?

There are not many people studying the ancient Xian Dynasty in China, and Zhang Yaobin is the most authoritative one.

Although my research direction is not Xian Dynasty. But it is only because there are too few relics of Xian Dynasty that have been studied long ago. I had no choice but to settle for the second best and change my direction.

In any case, I was a disciple of Zhang Laoze, and I was familiar with everything about Xian Dynasty.

But what it showed was basically the same as other ancient dynasties.

This time, the thousand-meter mountain carving was a little beyond my cognition.

After drinking a cup of coffee and staying up late to finish reading the information sent by the old thief, it was almost dawn.

The doubts in my heart became stronger and stronger.

The "smooth as a mirror" mentioned in the information is not an adjective. It is a declarative word.

It really looks like a polished mirror, different from the rough mountain.

And the material seems to have changed, much harder than ordinary rocks.

However, for the purpose of protecting the relics, it is still impossible to use instruments to accurately measure it.

The weird things are not just that.

When the words "Go against the principles of heaven and earth to prove immortality" were revealed, the animals near Lingyun Peak seemed to be inexplicably frightened and took the initiative to stay away from the place.

Not only birds and beasts, but even mosquitoes and the like were kept away from each other.

…

"How to write a 30,000-word research report?"

My head was spinning, and I was cursing in my mind.

After only painstakingly compiling two thousand words, I could no longer resist the overwhelming sleepiness and fell asleep in a daze.

It seems that I have had many dreams.

But somehow, the big line of characters [Destroy the principles of heaven and earth to prove immortality] looks like it was carved. Always embedded in the back of my mind. Let the dream come and go, but it remains unchanged.

When I woke up the next day, my first reaction was to look at my phone.

"Li Yang, don't forget, tomorrow at 12 noon."

As expected, the old thief sent another message to remind him.

"I……"

Resisting the urge to curse, I looked at the time.

Nine-thirteen in the morning.

"I only slept for four hours..."

"It feels like I've slept for three days and three nights."

I moved my sore body a little and had a simple breakfast.

The writing of the research report began.

"There are still twenty-eight thousand words left, and there are twenty-seven hours left. Each hour is more than a thousand words. With my hand speed, it is more than enough!"

I know that this is just for the old thieves to cope with their bosses and to make business easier, and it is not really about studying any subject.

So try to use empty words and clichés to focus on the "auspicious" aspect.

"Auspicious" is not a superstition.

But it is real.

The most famous and talked-about one is the "Five Stars from the East" unearthed in the last century.

Soon after this object was unearthed, the country's fortunes took a turn for the worse. It is thriving and stands at the top of the world's great powers.

"Since this immortality stone carving appears, then the average life expectancy of our people has increased by three to four years, so it shouldn't be a problem." I suddenly thought in my mind.

My fingers are flying on the keyboard, and my thoughts are flowing.

The report was actually completed before twelve o'clock that night.

Click lightly and it will show that the email was successfully sent.

I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Logically speaking, the old thief's mission has been completed. I should just relax now.

But for some reason, those thousand-meter-long stone carvings have always shone in my heart.

Feeling restless, I accidentally opened the picture of the stone carving again.

"Go against the laws of heaven and earth to prove immortality."

"What does this mean?"

I lay on the chair, looking at the full-screen picture, frowning.

With random thoughts in his mind, he fell into a drowsy sleep.

"Ouch……"

When I woke up from the chair, I found that my neck was stiff due to the wrong sleeping posture.

I bared my teeth and endured the pain.

Try stretching your head in the opposite direction to relieve symptoms.

It was this action that suddenly gave me an idea.

"In the opposite direction, relieve muscle tension."

"Isn't this [reverse]?"

Many ideas came to me in an instant.

"Modern people often suffer from many chronic diseases because of incorrect office posture."

"Cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae..."

"Every part of me is sick."

"And often simple stretching can relieve this symptom."

I clicked on the Xiaopo website and after some searching, I instantly found many related videos.

"One action will teach you how to get rid of back pain."

"A few simple movements can help you say goodbye to back pain."

…

Dazzled.

I could vaguely see that although the movements were not exactly the same.

But the core ideas are always the same.

That is to put the body in a posture that is opposite to daily life.

"Is this [going against the principles of the human body]?"

This thought came to my mind.

But then I thought about it again, wouldn’t it be that if these movements are integrated, they are the broadcast gymnastics promoted by the country?

Just because it needs to be popularized, some more difficult actions have been deleted.

"If this set of [reverse] movements includes all the muscles, joints, and ligaments in the body..."

"What will happen?"

I couldn't help but be interested.

Now I'm watching fitness instruction videos and trying to organize and categorize these movements.

After working hard all afternoon, I gave up.

Because the action content in these videos is too repetitive and inefficient.

For example, in order to relieve pain inside the shoulder blade, it is often necessary to do seven or eight sets of exercises.

Among them, there is a conflict with the purpose of relieving cervical pain.

The head looks big when you look at it.

"Forget it, why should I bother? I'm really tired. Let's go get a massage."

I turned off the computer, shook my head, and went back to bed.

In a dream.

The nine-character stone carving still remains.

There seemed to be an odd golden glow in my mind.

When I woke up the next day, I was a little confused at first.

After being stunned for a long time, he walked to the computer again and opened the picture.

He looked a little dazed.

Finally, I called my old classmate.

"Old Zhang, [Tianwen] lend it to me. Hey, don't worry about so much. It's just for one day, and I'll return it to you soon."

After hanging up, I sat down and waited patiently.

Tianwen is the latest generation of [quantum intelligent computer] developed by Xianke Academy.

It is said that the quantum volume has already exceeded the 10,000 mark.

The specific outrageous degree has not been made public.

What Lao Zhang can send me for external use is naturally only the civilian limited edition of [Tianwen].

Not long after, a round icon suddenly lit up in the lower right corner of the desktop.

I knew that this was [Tianwen]'s AI taking over my computer.

On the desktop, a line of 24-hour countdown began to jump.

"You said one day, it really is one day. Lao Zhang is really good."

I cursed inwardly, and then put forward my request to [Tianwen].

The computer screen turned black in an instant.

Then the data flow kept jumping like a waterfall.

In my expectation, this should be a very simple thing.

With Tianwen's computing power, it should take less than a second to get it done.

But more than ten minutes have passed, and there is still no result.

"Could it be that Lao Zhang is also using up the computing power?"

Just when I was about to make a phone call to ask, the data on the screen suddenly stopped.

It was like a crash.

After a moment, it returned to normal.

A video automatically played. It was exactly what I needed, a complete set of [reverse] movements.

The character model in it was still me.

I quickly browsed through the video, and my face turned bitter.

Is this kind of movement really something that humans can do?

"Forget it. With my physique, I'm afraid I can't complete it at all."

It was just a whim, a futile act. It's normal to give up casually.

I muttered to myself and was about to turn off the video.

Suddenly.

A cold mechanical voice sounded from the computer speakers.

"According to calculations, citizen number A6BH85208511068G6B, you have a 99.99% chance of completing this set of movements."

The voice appeared so suddenly that I was startled.

Then I immediately reacted: "Tianwen?"

"I'm here."

"You can actually speak?" I couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Learning human language is not a difficult thing for me." Tianwen said modestly.

"I didn't expect that quantum intelligent computers have developed to this point." I was surprised.

But this is not a particularly strange thing. As early as the beginning of the century, the rapid development of AI has caused widespread concern and discussion. Recently, there have been many proposals to popularize intelligent robots for home use as soon as possible.

I didn't care much about this matter, but asked curiously: "Is there really a 99.99% chance? That set of movements, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a human can persist in doing it completely, right?"

Tianwen gave a positive answer again. But then added: "It may just take a little help."

I hesitated for a moment, and was still a little hesitant. But the content of the nine-word moment inexplicably emerged in my mind again.

"Just give it a try." I suddenly thought of this.

Just a moment after I made the decision, the household robot YH63 suddenly walked in with heavy steps.

"?"

I was stunned for a moment, then I understood. It was Tianwen who took it over.

Being stared at by it, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart. But now that things have come to this, I had to bite the bullet and start the first action.

This set of reverse actions summarized and derived by Tianwen has only nine styles in total. But each style is extremely strange and complicated. It calls on as many muscles and joints as possible in the body.

For example, the first style I am trying to do now requires one hand to be stretched behind the head and the other hand to rise from the side of the waist. While holding the two hands together, try to expand and stretch the shoulders. The head also needs to cooperate and lean back slightly.

This is just the movement of the upper body.

While the upper body maintains this posture, crawl on the ground. The two thighs are spread out, stretching the gluteus magnus and gluteus medius...

It's like a toad with a weird posture.

"It hurts..." I took a breath of cold air after just a slight attempt. I was ready to get up and give up.

Just then, a cold mechanical palm suddenly pressed me down.

My face changed drastically: "Tianwen, what are you going to do?"

"According to the personal agreement, number 001. Tianwen has the right and obligation to assist citizen Li Yang in fitness exercises."

"Estimated time required for completion: three hours,"

"Required materials: 15 human trauma repair fluids, 3 composite high-energy mixtures."

"The relevant items have been purchased. The required credit points have been deducted from citizen Li Yang's account."

I heard Tianwen's words without any emotion, and I panicked: "Cancel the agreement! Cancel the agreement!"

"Warning! The agreement cannot be revoked. The fitness assistance program is about to start."

"3, 2, 1."

A moment later, my miserable wails resounded throughout the house.

I didn't know when I lost consciousness and fainted.

But when I woke up, I felt as if I had slept for ten days and ten nights.

And when I looked at the time again, it was indeed seven days later.

I felt like I was reborn.

My mind was clearer than ever. My thinking was also extremely fast.

Even my memory got better.

I didn't realize at the time that this was the effect of the set of counter-rational movements.

I just thought it was because I had a rare good rest.

Because the world has disappeared for seven days, unanswered calls and unanswered messages have piled up.

I had to bite the bullet and deal with it first.

After being scolded for a while, he threw himself into the task assigned by Old Thief Zhang.

After a full month of working from dawn to dusk, I finally managed to get it done.

I couldn't help but let out a long breath.

At this time before, I would feel physically and mentally exhausted.

But now, I seem to be energetic and have some energy left.

Standing in front of the mirror, I looked at myself in the mirror: "Well... I feel a lot more energetic."

"strangeness."

I couldn't help but think of that set of counter-intuitive actions that I had only done once.

"Is it possible that its effect is really so miraculous?"

I was eager to try it again, but thinking that Tian Wen had left, it was a bit difficult to complete the set of actions by myself.

Moreover, the practice process was extremely painful and unbearable to recall.

Just when I was hesitant, the household robot YH63 came to me without knowing when.

The eyes are constantly flashing with a dark red light.

I suddenly felt creepy and subconsciously asked: "Tianwen?"

YH63 did not respond.

Just repeating in a mechanical manner: "Do you want to perform the assisted exercise program?"

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Faced with YH63’s persistent questions, I thought about it, gritted my teeth and chose yes.

This time, it seemed like I was getting used to it a little bit.

I only slept for three days.

After checking the number of items consumed, only 10 bottles of human wound repair solution were used.

On the other hand, I used up 7 bottles of the compound high-energy mixture.

You know, a high-grade mixture is enough to prevent an ordinary person from eating or drinking for a month.

I don’t know where so much energy is consumed.

After completing the training, I took a closer look at myself.

Compared with the previously recorded images, I found that I may have lost weight.

"Losing weight is so efficient?" I was a little surprised.

However, what really made me take this set of counter-intuitive actions seriously was when my classmates called me over to play basketball one night.

You know, my skills are average. He doesn't have many chances to play, so he basically plays as a substitute.

That day, I was sitting on the sidelines. I was thinking about the nine-character stone carving, and I was in a trance.

Someone on the court made a bad pass and the basketball flew straight in my face.

My brain hasn't reacted yet, but my body has already reacted naturally.

Subconsciously, he stretched out his left hand and caught the ball steadily without raising his head.

This move also shocked everyone present.

"Okay, when did you master this skill?"

"Brother Li, you're awesome!"

I came to my senses and smiled.

Throw the ball back.

He looked at his left hand thoughtfully.

After I went back, I spent 10,000 credits on a comprehensive physical examination.

The results shocked me.

Body functions, reaction speed, cell activity...

Almost all have reached the highest level that non-professional athletes can achieve.

You know, not long ago, I was just a loser who couldn't run a thousand meters.

The effect of that set of counter-intuitive actions has far exceeded my expectations.

In fact, I can be sure that even the training plans implemented by athletes from all over the world are definitely not as good as this set of counter-intuitive movements.

"What's going on?"

"Simple gymnastics cannot have such a miraculous effect comparable to surgery."

I finally realized something was wrong.

I wanted to report it immediately, but for some reason, I hesitated.

Next, a whole year.

Whenever I have free time, I practice with the help of the YH63 model.

From the beginning, I still couldn't bear it and fainted.

Later, I was able to complete a complete set of actions on my own.

It's just that after every exercise, I'm sweating profusely.

As if he had been hungry for a long time.

In addition to counter-intuitive actions, I also summarized counter-intuitive thinking.

When you are lonely in the dead of night and want to reward yourself. Suppress your desires.

When you feel excited and don't want to sleep. Force yourself to sleep.

When you want to feast and drink endlessly, enough is enough.

…

Due to the double paradox of body and spirit, my physical quality also evolved in an inhuman direction.

"The speed of 100 meters has already exceeded the world record."

"The snatch of 200kg is also easy."

…

After completing another round of physical fitness test, I was no longer shocked.

But there was some panic and fear.

Go against the laws of heaven and earth to prove immortality.

These nine shining golden characters appeared in my mind again.

I know why my body underwent such an incredible transformation.

The key lies in this sentence.

"Gu Xianchao..."

During the next thirty years.

After successfully graduating, I changed my research direction amidst everyone's confusion.

Mainly focusing on the archeology and exploration of the ancient Xian Dynasty civilization.

The set of counter-intuitive actions did not stop.

Just don't do the testing anymore.

Because I was afraid that once the test results came out, I would be arrested as an inhuman monster.

Only I know what kind of terrifying body is hidden under the cover of ordinary clothes.

The relics presented to the dynasty are indistinct and without a trace.

In thirty years, my team and I have only found five ancient Xian Dynasty relics.

What makes me feel a little regretful is that there is no extraordinary thing like the Nine-Character Stone Carving.

Time flies, my friends and teachers have already grown old.

And I have never been married.

Because I have to hide one thing.

That is me. Aging, which is destined for all human beings, has not happened to me.

Every day when I go out, I have to put on makeup.

Although my makeup skills have reached perfection in recent years, I try to avoid contact with outsiders.

But every time I think of the risk of my immortality being exposed.

I feel terrified.

So, I know it's time to leave.

——

Late at night.

In the Baise Realm, I galloped.

Among the many steep and majestic mountains and rivers, it was like walking on flat ground.

With a light step, I can fly hundreds of meters.

And this is still not the limit.

The restraints that had been weighing on me for a long time disappeared without a trace. I just felt extremely free.

"It is as vast as the wind in the sky, and I don't know where it stops. It is as floating as being isolated from the world, and ascending to heaven."

I murmured in my heart, and soon I arrived at my destination.

Lingyun Peak, nine-character stone carving.

This place has been lifted by the government.

However, it is only publicized to the outside world. It is an artificial attraction built by the local tourism department.

It was severely criticized by netizens at the beginning.

I jumped down from the top of Lingyun Peak.

It seemed to be able to fight against the heavy ground and walk on the thousand-meter cliff.

"This is my third time here."

"The feeling this time is more obvious."

"The faint breath left on these nine words..."

"What is it?"

I stroked it slowly with my hand and whispered.

"Tianwen, what do you think?"

The watch on my wrist suddenly projected a round and strange creature with only two pairs of eyes.

It is the quantum intelligent computer that has been popularized and used in households, Tianwen.

However, I already knew in my heart that the Tianwen I brought with me was different from others.

"Based on the comprehensive data derivation."

"The ancient Xian Dynasty is very likely related to the legendary [Immortal]."

"There are signs that before the ancient civilization was cut off, there were powerful beings called [Immortal Cultivators] living in this world."

...

The answer given by Tianwen this time was different from the past.

"Are there any new discoveries?" I asked.

"No. This is just my guess." Tianwen is becoming more and more like a human.

I ignored it.

Instead, I felt the big words under me at close range.

"Go against the principles of heaven and earth to prove longevity."

"I go against the principles of the human body, and my physical fitness has reached such a terrifying level. What if I can really go against the principles of heaven and earth?"

"But the principles of heaven and earth are illusory. How can I go against them?"

I stood on a thousand-meter cliff, stunned.

Until the sun rose in the east, the morning glow filled the sky.

I still didn't let it go.

"Immortal, immortal, immortal..."

"Where can I find the immortal road?"

Alone in the world, I only felt the loneliness of being alone.
