Dong-dong-dong? What’s so loud?

Yaoyao looked up energetically from the straw pile and saw a large tractor appearing in the field, spraying heavy steam and harvesting grain.

It turns out that summer has gone away and autumn has arrived.

This is the footsteps of autumn, with a heavy industrial atmosphere. At the same time, the golden rice has matured, pile after pile, pile after pile, and was taken away by tractor after tractor.

The autumn air is crisp and the sun is not as fierce as in summer. Yaoyao thinks about the scenery when she first saw the world. It was at the end of summer not long ago. At that time, the whole world was green, but now there is gold.

yellow.

Yaoyao likes this color very much.

Yaoyao prefers the atmosphere in the fields.

And people also like Yaoyao very much, even more than Gugu, just because this little bird can help vegetation grow quickly, this power even exceeds that of dolphins.

Of course, dolphins can guarantee a bumper harvest. Together with Yaoyao, it means a bumper harvest every year.

Yaoyao looked at the road. There were many people there, but there was no old man.

Since the birth of Xia Tian, ​​Mamazai has put himself in the fields to help with the harvest. There is an old man who always touches his head with a smile and says that he came too late. If he had come in the morning, it would have been ten or twenty years.

, the scenery of the world may be different now.

Yaoyao didn't understand what this meant, but she could tell that it was a compliment, so she would always puff up her little chest proudly - she learned this from her big brother Gugu.

When you should be proud, you should be appropriately proud!

Then the grandpa would always take out Yaoyao’s favorite special new food and feed it to her.

It is a particularly strange grain. It is said that the man called Xu'er, who often leads a caravan to sell goods, bought the grain from the distant mountains and seas. It looks like milt, but the milt is red.

, and this one is golden, and the grains on the grain are very large.

Mamazai was surprised when he saw it at the time. He called it "Bao Gu" and asked Xu'er where it came from. Xu'er said that it was obtained from an overseas country of sharks who didn't know where it came from. The quantity was not large and it was very mysterious.

.

The old man was very good at farming, so he was able to get the corn and experiment with planting it. Yaoyao helped him not long ago. The grain grew very well, but he didn't see any habits, so the extra corn was used as a reward.

I gave it to Yaoyao and it tasted very good.

Those big farmers who drive tractors often gather in the fields and come to ask him for advice. Yaoyao also likes this old grandfather very much, but in the past few days, this old grandfather has not come to the fields.

It was inside, which made Yaoyao feel strange.

Of course, everyone has their own things to do, maybe the old man just takes a few days off.

The sun has already set in the west, and a little bit of black can be seen in the eastern sky. The ancestral stars that can't stand their loneliness appear in the sky, twinkling and blinking. They are shining, as if they are going to be together.

The sun has completely set in a battle of brilliance.

A particularly shining star appears and moves in the sky. You can clearly see its trajectory. It is like a meteor but not so fast, but wandering in the sky at a uniform speed.

The dolphin beside the rice pile appeared and told Yaoyao that that thing was not a star, but a bird called Garuda. Before Yaoyao was born, Gugu and the others knocked her out of the sky and turned her into an artificial bird star.

.

Yaoyao's eyes widened and she was very shocked.

At this time, the roaring sound suddenly stopped. Someone appeared outside the field and shouted something loudly and anxiously to the farmers who were working. Then they saw a farmer leaving his tractor without looking back.

Running to the fields, all the people on the tractors left for a while, leaving only these big tractors with their engines turned off, parked quietly in the fields full of harvest atmosphere, as if they had been frozen here across the years.

Amazing sculpture.

Where are people going?

Yaoyao tilted her head and ran back home with her little wings spread until it got dark. Only then did she hear the cry coming from the town. Many people gathered outside the courtyard of a house with faces on their faces.

The expression on his face was filled with deep sadness.

There was an old sage who was about to pass away. His breath was very weak. Mr. Wu Pan was here to treat him, but he said nothing and looked very sad.

Later, Uncle Xi came. The old Uncle Xi walked into the house, and people made way for him. When the old sage on the sick bed saw Uncle Xi's arrival, his eyes moved hard, and Uncle Xi shook his hand.

She held his hand, nodded, and said nothing.

"Hao, Baili Hao, don't worry, the children are fine and will be fine. I will supervise them in school."

The old sage nodded slightly, and then his tense expression relaxed, his breathing gradually stopped, and he was completely relieved, and it passed for a long time.

Times are changing, but they will not stop for the elderly.

"Birth, old age, illness and death are the normal conditions of life. When the end of the world is here, there is no way to revive a dying person except for the immortal grass."

Wu Pan said something and looked at Uncle Xi. Uncle Xi nodded: "Maybe I am about to get there soon. In the past, I was the only one left among the four brothers of the Xihe clan."

Xizhong died of illness in Dongyi, and He Zhong and Uncle He had also passed away long ago. He was the last remaining old man of the Xi He family from the time of Emperor Yao.

In recent years, many elderly people have gradually passed away. There is no way to restore this. They are all people accumulated from the previous era. They have serious internal injuries in their bodies and some stubborn diseases. Even with the help of deified medical methods,

Although there has been a very amazing improvement in strength, it is impossible to completely transform the aging body into immortality. At most, it can only extend some years.

"The old patriarch of the Tilerya family who was good at farming has passed away. This is sad news for Hongzhou."

Yaoyao climbed to the window and finally saw the old man who had always taken care of her. Yaoyao was surprised, why was the old man lying motionless on the bed? Was he asleep?

At this time, I heard what Mr. Wu Pan said about birth, aging, sickness and death.

die?

It turned out that the smiling old man who liked to feed himself corn could never get up again.

...

Since then, a star seems to have become brighter in the sky.

All things are destined to die from the time they are born into the world. Birth, aging, illness and death are cycles of nature and the laws of all things. Even plants will go from sprouting to withering. No one can escape death, even the greatest civilization. Except for the immortal grass

Apart from this, all other means, including Qi refining practice, only allow a limited extension of life.

Yaoyao originally thought that she would be immortal just by refining her Qi. When she landed on the roof of Jixia Academy, she saw Mu Mu who was flipping through a book and asked this question.

Mu Mu told it, where in the world are there immortal Qi masters? In today's world, without eating the Immortal Grass or having the blood of the gods, simply speaking of ordinary people, the oldest

The person is Yu Huazi. He has lived for nearly three thousand years. He is from the era of the Three Ancient Emperors. This is a representative of success. However, in the ancient times, there were more Qi Refiners. They had already

Already gone, not everyone can survive.

Isn't Chisongzi's wife one of the people who fell on the road to refining qi? She died without living past the age of 150. She only lived a few decades longer than ordinary people. Although it is amazing, in the life of qi refining masters,

How many people have passed away like her on the road?

"Except for natural birth, old age, illness and death, external damage can also shorten the life span of living beings. Just like plowing out the roots of a tree, the tree will die soon. If a person's neck is cut open, the person will soon stop.

Characteristics of life.”

"As for ordinary livestock and meat on the market, can you imagine what would happen if they suddenly came to life and screamed, "Buy me, buy me, buy me, hurry up?"

After listening to Mu Mu's vivid description, Yaoyao suddenly shuddered and her chicken feathers started to stand up, but she had another idea, so she chirped and asked:

So, can I create a magical medicine like the Immortal Grass that will prevent the living from dying?

Mu Mu glanced at Yaoyao, and then laughed mercilessly.

Yaoyao flew away from the roof of Jixia Academy. Although Mu Mu told it that such a thing was impossible. After all, Azai also had the power to control the birth of vegetation, but he didn't see Azai do anything similar.

Experiments on immortal grass medicines have been done many years ago, and the results were all failures.

But Yaoyao doesn't intend to give up.

"Jiji!"

Although Mu Mu always called himself the eldest brother, Yaoyao believed that Gugu was the boss, so she found Gugu who was dating Jingwei on the roof of Mamazai's house and expressed her thoughts.

First of all, there is a question, why is the Immortal Grass not cultivated on a large scale despite the existence of it? Is it just because it is difficult to cultivate the Immortal Grass in the mortal world?

On the one hand, the requirements for growing conditions are too high, but if you have Ma Mazai and your own strength, wouldn't it be possible to produce a large amount of Immortal Grass?

Gugu thought for a moment and shook his head.

It seems that Mamazai has said before that things like Immortal Grass cannot be grown on a large scale. If everyone cannot die, the mentality of these people will change after thousands of years, because there is a threshold for refining Qi.

Not everyone can live forever, but there is no threshold for taking the immortal grass. Anyone who eats it can live forever.

In short, it's just some hard-to-understand words about class consolidation, world domination, the mastermind behind the scenes, and dragon slayers eventually becoming evil dragons.

Anyway, one hundred or two hundred years may not be a problem, but one thousand or two thousand years, it's hard to say.

It is now certain that the Immortal Grass can allow people to live for at least three thousand years. The Emperor Yan who guards the Tianmen is a figure from the Suiren era. He is the person who ate the Immortal Grass. He is still strong after three thousand years, and the oldest among the Qi Refiners

Yu Huazi has aged badly in the past three thousand years. His beard looks like a mop. At first glance, he might have thought he was a landowner.

Immortality with a bottom line will temper people's will and spirit, while immortality without a bottom line will extremely expand people's desires.

Of course, the cultivation of immortal grass is also a big problem. This herb is not naturally formed in the world.

Gugu told Yaoyao that in fact, the Immortal Grass itself may be the product of several deifications. It was artificially created in the distant Hexiong era, and was cultivated after a lot of selective breeding. This characteristic destined it to be unbeatable.
