When the old lady heard Ye Chen say the words "Rejuvenating Pill", she asked with a look of shock: "My dear friend...you...you also know about the Rejuvenating Pill?!"
Ye Chen nodded and said calmly: "I know."
There was something that Ye Chen didn't say.
That is, in fact, when he came, he specially prepared a rejuvenation pill for Mrs. Jiang.
Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but admire: "You are indeed a person with great supernatural powers just like Patriarch Meng!"
Ye Chen only had a slight smile on his face, but he was even more horrified in his heart.
So far, although he has benefited a lot from the "Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures", he does not know who actually wrote the "Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures".
Now, when he learned that Meng Changsheng had refined the Rejuvenation Pill more than a thousand years ago and gave two Rejuvenation Pills to the ancestors of the Jiang family, he couldn't help but ask himself: "Could it be that what I got?"
"Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures" was written by Meng Changsheng? The antique that the father-in-law knocked over in the Jiqing Hall of the Song family that day was indeed a jade pot spring vase from the Tang Dynasty, and Meng Changsheng was also a person from the Linde period of the Tang Dynasty.
, In this way, the general dynasties are consistent, and coupled with the information related to the Rejuvenation Pill learned from Grandma Jiang, this inference seems to be somewhat possible..."
However, Ye Chen also knew very well that it was impossible to conclude that "Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures" was written by Meng Changsheng based on these two points alone.
If you really want to prove this matter, you must at least find more clues.
So, he suppressed this question in his heart for the time being, and asked Mrs. Jiang: "Grandma Jiang, may I ask how long your ancestor lived before he passed away?"
The old lady said: "My ancestor passed away in the fourth year of Xiantong in 863 AD. He lived for 113 years. Because Patriarch Meng's wife and children were buried in the middle of the back mountain, so my ancestor was buried in the mountain after his death.
At the foot of the back mountain, all descendants of our Jiang family were buried at the foot of the mountain."
Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh: "The old man lived one hundred and thirteen years, minus the forty years of two rejuvenation pills, he also lived to seventy-three on his own. In that era, it was already very rare."
According to the statistics of some unreliable scholars, the average life expectancy of people in the Tang Dynasty was about forty or even fifty years old.
However, their statistics and research are very one-sided. They only count the ages of those recorded people when they died from the epitaphs and recorded history books that can be found, and then calculate a so-called average age.
But they ignored a big problem. Those who can leave their names in the history books, have a tombstone and have someone carve an epitaph, are themselves the elite of that era.
Moreover, many children who died in infancy and unmarried young people did not leave tombstones after their deaths, not to mention the common people who hadtily buried them with straw mats after their deaths.
Therefore, the average lifespan of the elite calculated using elite statistics has no real meaning.
Verifiable history shows that the average lifespan of emperors in the Tang Dynasty was only about 44 years old. This was the most elite class in the Tang Dynasty at that time, and they assembled the best means of life and production in the country. But even so, the average lifespan was only about 44 years old.
Only forty-four years old.
Many objective scholars believe that if the high mortality rate of infants and young children and the average life expectancy of ordinary people are taken into account, the real average life expectancy in the Tang Dynasty should be around thirty years old.
Based on this calculation, the ancestor of the old lady's family lived seventy-three years on her own, which is longer than any emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This is already very remarkable.
