Chapter 97: The ebb and flow of three thousand years
Lu Chen…
Yang Yu was a little surprised.
Lu Chen is not well-known in the world, but he is a character who cannot be avoided in various ancient books.
Lu Chen is the first Martial Saint according to historical records, and can even be said to be the only Martial Saint!
After him, for a full two thousand and six hundred years, no martial saint was born in the world. It was not until the end of the previous dynasty that all the heroes came together, and a new martial saint was born.
"The Great Sun Tathagata, do you mean Lu Chen's 'Great Sun Tathagata Palm'? Or..."
Yang Yu made a guess in his mind and opened the ancient book.
"I dare to ask the sky, are there any gods?"
"I dare to ask the heavens, who can avoid death?"
The flying pen and ink wrote deep desires. Through the handwriting, Yang Yu seemed to see an old man sighing and asking for help.
This ancient scroll was not left by Lu Chen.
It is a biography written by later generations, which records some of Lu Chen's deeds and some of his influence on later generations.
"...the remaining heroes of the sixth generation have unified the world. Emperor Qin can be called the emperor of the ages. However, those who reach the top of the human world will always have a long-term view.
In the first year of the Great Unification, Emperor Qin sent 3,000 alchemists to cross the oceans in the east, to the endless mountains in the west, to seek islands in the South China Sea, or to go to the Arctic glaciers.
That year, Lu Chen Shisan and the alchemist crossed the ocean eastward, and no one knew the process. But ten years later, Lu Chen returned alone, and at the same time, he brought the 'Tao Fruit'..."
"The origin of the Dao Fruit cannot be studied. Perhaps it has another name in older legends. Lu Chen named it the 'Dao Fruit', which means the fruit condensed by the way of heaven..."
…
Thousands of words are spoken eloquently.
The Taoist text was obscure and contained many slang words, and Yang Yu read it very slowly.
In thousands of words, the information contained is huge.
From Emperor Qin's search for immortals, to Lu Shen's return from the eastward journey, from eight thousand alchemists gathering in Xianyang to study Taoist fruits, to Emperor Qin's pit killing all the alchemists...
From the time Lu Chen became a martial sage to the collapse of the first unified dynasty recorded in history.
The information is huge and the span is huge.
"It's not that Dao Fruit is needed to be promoted to Martial Saint. Martial Saint comes from the person who refines Dao Fruit..."
Yang Yu chewed it in his mouth.
There is a lot of information in this ancient scroll, especially it includes Lu Shen's exploration of the origin of Tao Fruit, as well as some research on myths and legends.
According to the statement in this book, Lu Chen somehow verified the existence of some of the legendary gods.
"This is consistent with the tide theory I read about Sanxiao Sanren before!"
After closing the ancient scroll, Yang Yu's mind was filled with thoughts.
With six doors behind him, he has read many similar ancient scrolls along the way. The authors may be different, but they all tend to be dated before the Qin Dynasty. In the long past, immortals and gods really existed.
Among them, the most reasonable speculation is the tide theory of Sanxiao Sanren.
According to him, there is a time for ebb and flow.
In the long past, the tide ebbed, immortals and gods disappeared, and history ended. However, until the Qin Dynasty, when Daoguo came into being and Lu Chen became a martial sage, the tide began to rise.
By this calculation, it has been three thousand years...
"Assuming that the tide theory is accurate and the tide rises for three thousand years, how many Taoist fruits will be born?"
Yang Yu's heart tightened slightly, the water in this world was deeper than he imagined.
Others don't know much about Zhang Xuanba, the King of Zhao in Xifu, and the old woman he saw in the Cauldron of Gluttony.
It must be someone who has Tao Fruit, or even refined Tao Fruit...
How many similar people are there?
I'm afraid no one knows.
Putting down the ancient scroll, Yang Yu flipped through the other ancient scrolls one by one. These ancient scrolls were similar to this one, and they also contained some travel notes.
The most useful among them are some records about refining Dao Fruit.
There are four steps in refining the Tao Fruit, including subduing one's heart, holding a ceremony, lighting up the life map, and refining the rank. There are sporadic records on this.
"The old man is really good at it. He didn't even leave a single martial arts secret book..."
After reading all these ancient scrolls, one night had passed. When we walked out of the cave, the sky was already dark.
Yang Yu checked carefully and found that there were many traces under the platform, as if someone had climbed down the mountain wall.
"According to these traces, the old man has been gone for at least a month or two. If he wanted to return to Black Mountain City, I'm afraid he would have gone back long ago..."
Looking at the vast mountains, Yang Yu felt relieved but also had a headache.
With the old man's personality, there is no reason why he wouldn't know Montenegro.
unless……
…
…
唳~
High in the sky, clouds and mist were rolling, and a white crane with red eyes and wings spread several feet soared among them, whining from time to time, as if it had been seriously injured.
On the back of the white crane, a short old man was holding a rag package and shivering.
It was already extremely cold in the middle of winter, so flying above the sky at such a high speed was naturally extremely cold. The old man's face turned green from the cold, and he could hardly breathe evenly.
"Xiaobai, don't cry, don't cry. I'll heal your wounds when I get back..."
A maid in green with her hair in a bun hugged Bai He's neck with a distressed look on her face, covering its wound.
"Girl, girl. This is too high, too high..."
The little old man couldn't help shouting, but his voice was blown away by the wind.
But the maid in green heard clearly and turned to glare at him:
"Did you also call me daughter?"
"Too high."
The little old man clutched the feathers of the white crane tightly, his face full of nervousness.
Looking down from here, the mountains became insignificant and the earth was almost invisible. Where had he seen this before?
"Coming!"
The maid in green replied impatiently and patted the white crane sitting down.
Phew!
The white crane roared loudly, seeming to be freed, and swooped down, almost throwing the little old man off its back.
The latter was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Huhu~
The air current surged wildly, and hundreds of feet flew past in the blink of an eye. Before long, the white crane landed on a barren mountain.
Blowing away the snow on the top of the mountain.
It also blew the skirt of the white dress sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff.
"Miss."
The little old man jumped down with the little old man in his arms, and the maid in green stepped lightly, came to the back in white, and saluted respectfully.
With his feet on the ground, the little old man breathed a sigh of relief, retched, and then looked towards the edge of the cliff.
It was a girl who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in white, with a graceful figure and black hair reaching her waist. When the two landed, she turned her face.
Her facial features are exquisite and perfect, and her eyes are as bright as the stars in the sky, seeming to reflect the scene on the top of the mountain.
The only drawback is that this jade face looks pale and tired at this time.
"He's so handsome, but he's a little too ruthless..."
The little old man muttered, thinking of his own boy.
How great would it be if you promised this to your own boy?
"Miss, are you hurt so badly?"
The maid in green looked distressed and angry:
"Sooner or later, I'm going to make that crazy woman look good!"
"Yu Fengxian's injuries will only become more serious."
The woman in white glanced at the maid lightly, and her cold eyes fell on the little old man squatting on the ground:
"May I have your name?"
The reason why she still didn't return to the helm even though she was seriously injured was just to wait for this little old man.
She had been injured in a battle with Yu Fengxian before, and when the red-eyed white crane fell from the sky, she caught a glimpse of the little old man in the mountain.
He has the aura of Dao Fruit on his body.
"I……"
The little old man rolled his eyes slightly, lowered his head and replied:
"Little old man Yang Tianyou, born in Shunde Prefecture, Qingzhou."
"Yang Tianyou."
The woman in white's eyes moved slightly and she said softly:
"You fell down a mountain and did not die but met with adventure. This name is quite appropriate."
The little old man touched his nose, thinking about how to get rid of these two people.
He stayed out for too long this time, and the old lady and baby at home were probably anxious about waiting.
Seeing that the little old man was distracted, the woman in white frowned slightly:
"Do you know what blessing you have received?"
"this…"
Yang Tianyou's heart was slightly shaken, and the thing he was most worried about happened.
But I still had to bite the bullet and fight haha, thinking that I would fight to the death and refuse to admit it.
"If you are worried that I will rob you of your creation, there is no need to worry about it. This fruit cannot be robbed once you recognize its owner. Even if I peel your skin and bones, I can't get it back."
The woman in white snorted softly:
"What I ask for cannot be known except by you."
"Can't take it out?!"
Yang Tianyou was not only unhappy, but his heart thumped:
"Daughter, is there no way to take it out?"
"You old guy are so brave!"
The girl in green immediately became furious. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to slap her, but was stopped by the woman in white.
"Since that Daoguo has recognized its owner, you should probably know how precious this thing is."
But the girl in white became interested:
"The ancient emperors, generals and prime ministers were all crazy about asking for everything. Why do you want to take it out instead?"
"I'm already at this age, no matter how good I am, it won't make any sense."
Yang Tianyou sighed:
"I originally wanted to go back and pass this treasure on to my kid, but it seems I can't do it..."
"If you get this thing, you can't say you will live forever, but it is inevitable that you will live longer. Don't you care about this?"
The girl in green was also a little surprised.
Is this old man so stupid?
She thought to herself that if she got this treasure, even if her mother wanted it, she would not want to hand it over.
"Prolonging life and becoming immortal, this is what only the emperor thinks of."
Yang Tianyou shook his head slightly:
"My old woman is no longer strong. What fun is there in leaving me alone for a few more decades?"
The emperors, generals and ministers all wanted to live forever, but the traffickers and commoners only wanted to live this life to the end and never wanted to come to the next life.
How many more years do you have to live?
"What a silly old man."
The maid in green sneered.
But he also understood this old guy's attitude somewhat clearly. This old man wasn't that afraid of death, so it was natural that he wasn't afraid of himself.
The girl in white seemed to understand, and sighed slightly:
"Have mercy on our world, there are many sorrows and hardships for all living beings..."
"Daughter, since you can't get the Dao Fruit, why did you tie me up?"
After resting for a while, Yang Tianyou couldn't sit still anymore. He patted his butt and stood up. The main reason was that it was too cold:
