"Legend has it that flat peaches are divided into three grades. The lowest grade has tiny flowers and small fruits. It ripens once every three thousand years. If a person eats it, he will become an immortal and his body will be light."
"Medium-grade, sweet and fruity with layers of flowers, it ripens once every six thousand years. If a person eats it, he will rise to the sky and become immortal."
"The best, purple-lined core, ripen once every nine thousand years, the person who eats it will live as long as the heaven and the earth, and the sun and the moon will have the same age!"
When Jiang Gan heard this, the description of the flat peach in Journey to the West quickly came to mind, and he couldn't help blurting it out.
At this moment, he looked at the peach core in his hand, his eyes were shining, and his gaze was extremely hot.
I saw that this peach stone was light yellow all over, with purple veins outlined, and it was clearly a purple-grained core.
"Young master, you are joking. Although the flat peach is magical, it does not have such an exaggerated effect."
"How can one eat a peach and live as long as the heaven and the earth, and the sun and the moon have the same age? Then what's the point of our practice?"
Master Li couldn't help but sneered, his beautiful eyes full of narrow-mindedness.
"But it made Ms. Shishi laugh. I like to read some miscellaneous books, and my understanding of flat peaches comes from the records in a miscellaneous book."
Jiang Qian said slightly embarrassed.
"Oh, I wonder how it is recorded in the miscellaneous books?"
Master Li asked with interest.
"It is recorded in the book that there is a heaven above the nine heavens, where the Jade Emperor and the Great Heavenly Lord govern all the gods, and the Queen Mother governs the fairies of the Yaochi."
"There is a peach garden in the Heavenly Court. There are 3,600 flat peaches in the garden, including 1,200 upper, middle and lower flat peach trees."
"Every year on the third day of March, on the birthday of the Queen Mother, a peach peach party is held, and all the gods and gods are invited to the party to taste peaches."
Jiang Gan spoke eloquently, his tone full of yearning.
Which Chinese person has not been invited to participate in the peach event and enjoy the dream of peach!
"Hehe, the records in these miscellaneous books are specious, and those who don't know the truth can easily be fooled by it."
"You know, the flat peach tree is the ultimate spiritual root. There is only one in the world. How can there be 3,600 of them?"
"Besides, although there is a heaven above the nine heavens that governs the gods, the Lord of heaven is God Haotian. Where did the Jade Emperor come from?"
"And there is no Queen Mother in this world. There is only the Queen Mother of the West. Her dojo is Kunlun Mountain, and she also controls the peach tree with the spiritual roots of the Ultimate Path."
Master Li's tone was faint, and he inadvertently revealed many secrets of heaven and earth.
"Since there is a heaven that governs all the gods, why are demons and ghosts rampant in the world and why are evil gods so weird and causing trouble?"
Jiang Gan couldn't help but ask.
"In the ancient mythological era, there may have been righteous gods in the world. But at the beginning of ancient times, the world changed drastically, and the righteous gods were replaced by gods and ghosts, and catastrophes continued in the world."
"But every time there is a catastrophe, the human race has unparalleled powerhouses. From the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times, to the founder of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties in the middle ages, to the three ancestors of Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism in the late middle ages, and the immortal Qin Shihuang, every one of them They are all supreme beings who dominate the world."
Following Li Shishi's narration, Jiang Qian gained a deeper understanding of the historical context of this world.
Let’s not mention the history before ancient times, but the historical context after ancient times is vaguely consistent with the historical trajectory before Zhu Xia and Pre-Qin.
Of course, this world is a fantasy world of immortals, martial arts, and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors ruled the world for a slightly longer period of time. They all reigned for 120,000 years and mysteriously disappeared in their later years.
The Great Xia Dynasty lasted for 100,000 years and inherited 16 kings. By the 3600th year of King Jie of Xia, the gate of heaven opened, the gods were strange and the world was in chaos, and Xia died.
The Great Shang Dynasty lasted for 120,000 years and passed down thirty-one kings. By the time of King Zhou of Shang for 4,800 years, the Gate of Heaven was opened, the world was in chaos and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed.
The Great Zhou Dynasty lasted for 100,000 years, inherited thirteen kings, canonized the gods, divided the princes into feudal lords, and guarded the four directions.
By the 1,200th year of King You of the Zhou Dynasty, the gates of heaven were opened, the gods were in chaos, the Taoist ancestors combined their bodies with Taoism, Confucianism and Taoism were transformed into literary music, and the Buddha burned his golden body, so that the Great Zhou Dynasty could survive.
By the time of the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor, he swept through hundreds of kingdoms, ruled the eight wastelands and six regions, dominated the world, established the Immortal Qin, established the Immortal and Martial Paths, and suppressed the world for 90,000 years.
There are Confucian sages, Taoist culture, and music. Over the past 90,000 years, Confucian sages have emerged in large numbers.
First there were the seventy-two disciples of the Confucian sage, all of whom were sages, and later there were thirty-six sages such as Dong Fuzi, Zuo Qiuming, Gong Yanggao, Zheng Kangcheng, Fan Wenzheng, Zhu Ziyang, Wen Zhonglie, Wang Shouren and so on.
Many characters who should not have appeared appeared in the Xianqin era, making Xianqin even more exciting and making Confucianism the most prominent school in the world, with unfathomable foundations.
Regardless of whether it is the Immortal Sect of the Outer World, the Pure Land of Buddhism, the hundreds of schools of thought, or the martial arts warriors, they are all suppressed by Confucianism cultivators and cannot hold their heads up.
Even though the First Emperor Qin Zheng deliberately suppressed it, Confucianism still occupied half of the court.
There are sage academies in one hundred and eight states of Xian Qin to suppress luck; there are first- and second-rate academies in three thousand counties and cities; there are second- and third-rate academies in 129,600 counties and cities.
It can be said that Confucianism is like a dragnet, covering every inch of the land of Xian Qin, and the tail is too big to fall off.
The more he learned about it, the more Jiang Gan understood the horror of Confucianism, and he secretly made up his mind to get more vests, sneak into Confucianism, and feel the wool of Confucianism.
What really scares Jiang Gan is the opening of the Heavenly Gate and the chaos in the world, which is a terrifying force that can destroy a prosperous dynasty.
It is a pity that Master Li was very secretive about the openness of the gates of heaven and the mysterious and chaotic world. Much of the information was unclear, which was extremely unpleasant.
Although Li Shishi didn't say anything, Jiang Qian vaguely guessed that the disappearance of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in their later years might be related to the mysterious and chaotic world.
Sure enough, he was still too weak to pry into the deepest secrets of this world.
This secret information is very precious, but it is too far away from Jianggan and its value is limited.
If nothing unexpected happens, the next wave of heavenly gates will open and the world will be in chaos, at least ten thousand years from now.
Even if he successfully breaks through to the realm of immortality, he will only have a lifespan of ten thousand years at most.
Unless you seal yourself, you won't be able to survive the day when the gods are in chaos.
Only those who have achieved the ultimate fruition status and have a life span of one yuan will face the calamity of the mysterious and chaotic world.
But as long as the First Emperor, Qin Zheng, is still there, and the Ultimate Path and Fruition suppresses all the ways in the world, no one can achieve the Ultimate Path and Fruition status.
All of this is based on experience, and it remains to be seen what will happen in the future.
Although this flat peach is not as magical as recorded in "Journey to the West", its effects are equally otherworldly.
Flat peaches can produce 3,000 low-grade flat peaches every hundred years. If devoured by immortals and gods, they can live another life and increase their lifespan by at least a hundred years.
It can produce 360 medium-grade flat peaches every thousand years. If it is swallowed by an immortal, it can lead to a new life and increase the longevity of a thousand years. If swallowed by an immortal, it will increase the chance of breaking through to the immortal by 30%.
Nine top-quality flat peaches can be produced every ten thousand years. If the Supreme Taoist swallows them, their lifespan will increase for thousands of years; if immortals swallow them, they will reshape the foundation of the Tao; if mortals swallow them, they will become immortals immediately.
This peach core is indeed the core of a top-quality flat peach. The Qingqiu Fox Clan has tried countless methods but failed to make the peach core take root and sprout.
This peach stone looks precious, but in fact it is not that precious.
Even so, Jiang Qian still agreed to Li Shishi's request without hesitation and was willing to use his luck.
