When Ning Weiguo returned to the living room, he found his wife Li Meijia squatting beside the coffee table, staring at a black wooden box.
The nanny at home, Wang Ma, was also standing not far away in a daze, looking blankly at the coffee table. Old Fei Liguo must have been driven back by the old man.
As for his father, Ning Haifan, who has difficulty with his feet, his reading glasses fell under the bridge of his nose without realizing it. He looked into the wooden box with salivation at the corner of his mouth...
"What is it that makes you look so fascinated?"
Ning Weiguo asked nonchalantly.
Walking to the sofa, Ning Weiguo sat down easily and casually took a look into the wooden box.
"Ah? This is...a finger? Whose? That brat is so brave, he cut off someone's finger and sent it to my Ning family?"
Ning Weiguo almost jumped up.
"Sit down for me, don't beep blindly if you don't understand..."
Ning Haifan was awakened and cursed angrily.
"What's wrong?"
Ning Weiguo said stupidly.
Ning Haifan's eyes shone and he explained with a pleasant smile:
"This is not a finger. What kind of eyesight do you have? Are you a special military commander?"
"Ginseng?"
Ning Weiguo added uncertainly.
"This thing is not comparable to just ginseng. That mountain boy is not simple.
Take this finger as an example, our family owes you a favor."
Ning Haifan sighed with joy in his eyes.
"What do you mean? My daughter is obsessed with him, and she goes home to coax money and pay for it. What else can she do?"
Ning Weiguo grumbled dissatisfied.
"Bastard? You want to take away that seven-star sword just for 100 million? You are dreaming."
Ning Haifan glared at his son murderously.
"Dad, just tell me, what is this?"
Ning Weiguo put his gray-haired head on the coffee table and observed it carefully.
Ning Haifan's gaze was profound, as if he had traveled through countless growth rings and reached another time and space...
Turning to look at his curious son and daughter-in-law, Ning Haifan lowered his head and pondered, and said with his thoughts:
"Before that, let me tell you a story."
"As you know, I am old, I am eighty-four years old this year, and in the year I was born, a strange man died in China. His name was Li Qingyun."
Ning Haifan lowered his head and recalled.
Ning Weiguo and Li Meijia silently watched the dying old man and whispered...
"Li Qingyun is the oldest person in China's written records, with a lifespan of 256 years.
He was a medical scholar in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and he was also a famous longevity old man in the world.
He was born in the 16th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, that is, 1677. He lived through the nine dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu, Xuantong and the Republic of China.
He is a rare longevity boy in the world. When he was 100 years old, he made outstanding achievements in traditional Chinese medicine and received a special award from the authorities.
When he was 200 years old, he still often gave lectures at universities, and during this period he received visits from many Western scholars.
Li Qingyun married twenty-four wives in his life and had many children and grandchildren. At that time, the New York Times and Time Magazine made relevant reports.
Later, he died in 1933, but the secret of why he lived to be 256 years old remains unsolved!"
Ning Haifan said calmly.
"Dad, do you know what the secret is?"
Ning Weiguo asked curiously.
"Yes, I happen to know some of its secrets. Not only do I know it, but I also know the reason for his longevity."
Ning Haifan said with a smile.
After speaking, Ning Haifan pointed to the wooden box on the coffee table and said solemnly:
"Do you know what this is? This thing is called Tai Sui."
"Taisui? It's very common, nothing unusual, right?"
Li Meijia frowned and interjected.
"Of course Tai Sui is not unusual in general, but you haven't heard of Tai Sui in human form, right?"
Ning Haifan's eyes were shining with light.
"Humanoid Tai Sui?"
Ning Weiguo looked at his father Ning Haifan in confusion.
"The corpse is nourished in Tai Sui, and after a thousand years it becomes the acquired spirit body. This is the elixir of immortality!"
Ning Haifan said seriously, then turned around and said sternly to the nanny:
"Wang Ma, lock the door and lock it!"
Then Ning Haifan turned around again and ordered Ning Weiguo sternly: "Call the security team. Tonight, I will send an extra class of guards to the Ning family villa, immediately!"
"What? In the same class?"
Ning Weiguo was stunned for a moment and looked at the wooden box solemnly.
The elixir of life?
Isn’t this too mysterious?
Is the elixir of life in the wooden box?
Tai Sui in human form?
After making the call, Ning Weiguo walked back to the hall as if sleepwalking, and sat blankly on the sofa...
"Is this..."
Ning Weiguo asked with trembling lips.
"Yes, this is the human form Tai Sui. One of the fingers is the flesh and white bones of the legendary living and dead person!"
Ning Haifan sighed and continued:
"What should we do now? Our family owes this boy a huge favor. Even if you have money, you can't buy this thing.
No, this is not a matter of money, no amount of money can buy this thing."
"Dad, you...you eat this thing, right? But...how do you eat this thing?"
Ning Weiguo swallowed hard.
Li Meijia's beautiful eyes flashed at this moment, and she said doubtfully:
"Dad, is the longevity old man Li Qingyun you just mentioned..."
"That's right!"
Ning Haifan nodded and said solemnly:
"Legend has it that Li Qingyun was traveling around collecting herbs..."
After saying this, Ning Haifan was startled, his eyes widened, his fists clenched, and he said:
"Is it Ziyun Mountain, or hn Ziyun Mountain? Legend has it that Li Qingyun was collecting medicine in Ziyun Mountain and fell seriously injured.
Later, I met a young man from the mountains by chance, and the young man gave him a piece of human Tai Sui. That young man was named Liu Shishi."
"Liu fourteen? Liu eighteen?"
Ning Haifan, Ning Weiguo, and Li Meijia suddenly realized what they were doing and were dumbfounded...
"No wonder, no wonder! Masters, really masters, are hiding in the mountains!
I remember Li Qingyun wrote an autobiography, in which he wrote that he accidentally encountered a young man collecting medicine in Ziyun Mountain and rescued him.
Later, the young man said a short poem: Green mountains, green water, earthen tiles, drinking tea and reading; white shirt, straw hat, shovel, picking herbs and observing Feng Shui..."
Ning Haifan sighed.
With his eyes moving, Ning Haifan carefully took out the crystal clear Tai Sui finger from the black wooden box, wrapped it in red cloth, and held it in his hand for a closer look, with a strange light shining in his eyes.
"Dad, how do you eat this thing?"
Ning Weiguo was always thinking about how to eat.
"Eat? You know how to eat. Do you know how sweet and expensive this food is?"
Ning Haifan pursed his lips with a look of contempt.
After saying that, Ning Haifan muttered uncertainly:
"Eat it in a stew? Or just eat it like this?"
Ning Weiguo and Li Meijia rolled their eyes at the same time, with a hint of envy in their eyes...
"Both of you, husband and wife, have sore faces. Look at the end of the finger of this humanoid Tai Sui. The cut is obviously a new wound."
Ning Haifan pointed to the end of his finger and explained lightly.
"What do you mean?"
Ning Weiguo wondered.
"What do you mean? It proves that this kid should still have some in his hands. You and your wife will become his father-in-law and mother-in-law from now on. Are you afraid that he will not respect you? Idiots..."
Ning Haifan pursed his lips in disdain.
Then, Ning Haifan carefully handed Tai Sui to Li Meijia and ordered:
"Daughter-in-law, you go to the kitchen in person, make a soup, add angelica root, rehmannia glutinosa, donkey hide gelatin, fleece-flower root, millipede, white peony root, jujube, and licorice for ten cents each."
Seeing Li Meijia walking away, Ning Weiguo's eyes flashed and he said: "Dad, since eating this will lead to a long life, some clowns can no longer make them jump around."
Ning Haifan smiled coldly and said:
"Yes, I have been in a wheelchair for ten years and my legs and feet are inconvenient. Many people have forgotten about our Ning family.
If eating this stuff can really make you feel better, I, Ning Haifan, wouldn't mind letting these scholars see what it means to be an iron-blooded warrior.
The power of China cannot be desecrated. Anyone who dares to offend China will be punished no matter how far away..."
