Bai Yi seemed to understand a little. The fragrant stone, no, it was a stone with small holes that emitted fragrance. Qixie once knocked a piece of it off. Is there any mystery in it?
At this time, the leader said: "Qixie, you said that these two are valuable people, now..."
"Chief, I have obtained their consent and can tell everything." As soon as Qixie finished speaking, the leader waved his hand and asked the three people to leave, then turned around and led Bai Yi and the others towards the end of the cave, where
There is a stone door, open it, and there is a long stone table with seven stone benches inside, which looks a bit like a conference room in modern society.
After the leader entered, he suddenly took off his mask. This was a very weathered face. There were countless ravines on his forehead. They were piled together, and each one was carved by the years. His
The eyebrows are snow-white and grow down to the neck, like two bunches of hair growing on the face. The complexion is very rosy, but the forehead is bulging. This is also the reason for so many ravines. Tang Sancheng took a breath: "
Chief, you look like a birthday boy!!"
Qixie frowned: "Thirty percent, don't be rude!"
Although Tang Sancheng was rude, he was right in what he said. The true face of this leader was very similar to that of a Chinese god of longevity. The most prominent feature was his protruding forehead and red cheeks, the forehead of a longevity star.
Son, among the people there was also a
There are some speculations, such as the head of the red-crowned crane is bulging high, and the longevity peach is a longevity fairy fruit specially offered at the Queen Mother's Peach Festival. Legend has it that it blooms in 3000 years and bears fruit in 3000 years. After eating it, you will immediately become an immortal and live forever. Maybe it's because
The fusion and superposition of these various longevity images finally created the brain of the longevity star, but what is the brain of this leader??
"Hahaha..." The leader laughed loudly: "Actually, the so-called birthday boy's image evolved from my image. I occasionally went out of Changbai Mountain and showed people to look at me. I don't know why, but later I became the birthday boy.
."
Bai Yi was surprised: "Do you dare to ask the leader if he will live longer this year?"
"I was only five years old when my people fled into the Changbai Mountains." The leader said, "That year was the founding year of the Xia Dynasty."
The founding year of the Xia Dynasty was 2070 BC, and now it is 1981. Calculated this way, the leader's current year is - 4051! After Bai Yi finished the calculation, he stood up: "Impossible!"
The leader looked only a hundred years old, more than four thousand years old. This was really crazy. Tang Sancheng was still dizzy and couldn't count on his ten fingers. Bai Yi said: "Don't forget it, it's four thousand and five."
Eleven years old!”
Tang Sancheng snorted, and the leader pointed at Qixie and said, "Do you know how old he is this year?"
Bai Yi didn't want to guess anymore: "Chief, Tang Sancheng and I are not people with ordinary experiences. Our psychological acceptance is stronger than ordinary people. Leader, just speak frankly."
"A big event happened in the year Qixie was born." The leader said, "He and Zhu Yuanzhang were born on the same day."
Zhu Yuanzhang, Bai Yi was glad that he opened an antique shop, so he had no problem with this historical knowledge. Zhu Yuanzhang was the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty and was born in 1328. So Qixie is 653 years old this year. Bai Yi closed his eyes.
Qixie looked like he was only in his early thirties. Oh my god, "Are you immortals?" Tang Sancheng felt that these descendants of the Yu Dynasty were more magical than himself.
"No." The leader shook his head: "We just grow very slowly. We are not immortal. We will die one day, and we will also grow old. We just live longer."
Bai Yi needed some time to digest this. He was stunned for a long time. Tang Sancheng was okay. He kept looking at Qi Xie and touched Qi Xie's nose, hands and feet in disbelief: "Qi Xie, you are really so old.
Are you there? You are actually over six hundred years old?" The things in Tang Sancheng's mind were different from those of ordinary people, so
His reaction was beyond the leader's expectation: "Great, this way we can still be together, at least for thousands of years. Wow, this is a good thing, Qixie, why didn't you do it earlier?"
Tell me, I have been worried that one day you will die before me, and what will I do then?"
Qi Xie's expression was a little moved, but he immediately turned away. The leader sighed: "Qi Xie originally went out for shopping, but once he went out, he never wanted to come back. There is naturally a reason."
Tang Sancheng pointed at himself: "Is it because of me?"
"That's right." The leader said: "We only live long lives, but we also get sick and die midway. The life trajectory is the same as that of normal people, but...ours is slower."
More than just a few, Tang Sancheng understood: "Did Qixie be sick at that time? That's why he fainted on the street?"
Qixie said: "I grew up here since I was a child. Over the years, I have never been exposed to the outside world. It may be because of this that I contracted a serious disease. Fortunately, I met you."
"But...how do these leaders know?" Tang Sancheng's eyes widened: "Qixie, how many things do I still don't know?"
"Sancheng, do you remember that after you rescued me, I disappeared for a while?" Qixie said: "I came back to explain the situation to the leader. I want to guard you. I will come back after you pass away to repay you.
Your life-saving grace, anyway, according to our life trajectory, it only lasts for one day, and the life span of people outside is only one or two thousandths of ours, but I didn't expect that you are also an unusual person."
Bai Yi nodded: "It seems that because of our unusualness, the leader allowed us to come here?"
"That's right." The leader said: "But I don't know what is unusual about you. Since Qixie mentioned it, I think it must be related, so I will allow you to come in."
It turned out that Qixie took advantage of this to get the leader to agree. Bai Yi had an idea: "In that case, how about we openly announce it to each other? Let's start with my experience with Tang Sancheng. In exchange, I want to know everything about the Yu Dynasty.
"
"But what if your experiences are not enough to exchange?" The leader chuckled. After four thousand years of wind and rain, what has he not seen? Bai Yi's fancy thoughts, he immediately knew: "The so-called candid announcement should not be based on
It’s time to start playing with your thoughts. In that case, let me explain it first.”
Bai Yi felt ashamed: "Meeting an old man means that my more than eighty years have been in vain."
The leader stroked his white eyebrows: "You can live and die with the Seven Evils, which shows that they are kind-hearted, so why not tell you?"
