Chapter 6 Nine generations in the same house
Hearing Hu Lu's delusional words, Xiao Shen finally couldn't help but hold his forehead, and he came again!
It's been a month since I was still dreaming of becoming an immortal!
What about Fairy Mount Tai? There were so many people on the top of the mountain at that time, and he was the only one who claimed to have seen it. The others were all blind!
If I had known that Fengshan would have caused such a serious consequence, even if I tried my best to advise me, I would never let the emperor go to Mount Tai!
Xiao Shen was considered an old minister of the three dynasties. At that time, Hu Lu's grandfather, Emperor Wan Jia, was addicted to the theory of immortality in his later years and believed in alchemy. In the end, he took pills and poisoned himself to death.
Emperor Wan Jia has been a wise ruler for at least decades and was confused in his later years. However, he did not expect that the wise and powerful Emperor Fushou started to follow his grandfather's old path at the age of twenty-five!
Xiao Shen shook his head, his lips moved but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.
Over the past month, Xiao Shen has spent countless words, but the emperor did not listen at all. Instead, he became more and more powerful. He also issued a letter to the world and issued the "Immortal Search Order". Anyone who provides clues to the traces of immortals can receive rewards.
Seeing that all the wise men in the court were silent, Hu Lu directly called Xiao Shen, "Xiao Xiang, I ask you how old can a person live."
This question is a bit abrupt, but Xiao Shen still answered honestly, "I am in my sixties, seventies, and eighty years old. Among the people I know, there are at most 86 people who live to be eighty-six."
Hu Lu: "Where are other beloved ministers, among the people you know, how old are there, who are more than eighty-six?"
"Report to Your Majesty, my grandfather's grandfather lived to be 91 years old. I was once carried by my grandfather when I was a child." The Left Minister of Rites replied.
"Oh, five generations live together, it's not bad, are there anyone over ninety-one years old?"
"Report to Your Majesty, I remember that an old man in the village died before his 100th birthday, and he should have lived to be 99 years old." Another military official said.
"I'm only one step away from being a hundred years old. What a pity. Is there any? I don't know you, and I've heard of it."
"When you go back to your Majesty, I heard that there is a 100-year-old man in my hometown who lived to a high life of 105 years, and he was called Ren Rui by our locals." The Right Censor bowed.
When it reached 105, no one shouted up. It seemed that 105 years old was already the limit of everyone's understanding.
Hu Lu asked Xiao Shen, "Xiao Xiang thought that 105 years old would be the limit of human life span?"
Xiao Shen thought about it and replied, "It shouldn't be, but it's also very close. Even if you can live a few more years, you can't speak or do anything at this age, so you can only slim in bed and be at the mercy of others."
Hu Lu waved his hand, "Wrong, very wrong!"
Everyone looked at the emperor on the dragon throne in surprise, including the eldest princess.
Hu Lu smiled and unfolded the secret letter from Xiao Liulang, and shook.
"If I told you that someone could live to 200 years old and still walk as fast as a flying person, would you not believe it? If I told you that some families can live in nine generations and the tenth generation of the family will be born soon, would you find it incredible!"
The court was silent at first, followed by a low whisper, and then the voice became louder and louder. Finally, Xiao Shen asked with a tough forehead, "Your Majesty, you have no basis for speaking."
Hu Lu handed over the secret letter to his servants around him, "Leave it to the eldest princess and let her read it out."
Then the secret letter came to the eldest princess, and she stood up solemnly and recited.
"Your Majesty personally told me that Liu Lang recently found a place to live in a retreat in Luzhou Prefecture, Jiangbei Province, called Taoyuan Village. Here the villagers are isolated from the outside world and form a world of their own.
"It is not surprising that the locals live long, and the centenarians are not surprising. The oldest one is over 200 years old. They have experienced the melee in the late years of the previous dynasty. They have ninth generation grandchildren. They are strong and strong. They can only be seen as sixty or seventy..."
Hearing this, the ministers in the court were completely shocked. It sounded absurd and bizarre, but the source of the news was Xiao Liulang, so he was a little bit skeptical, and even had little suspicion.
Xiao Liulang is not only a person, but also a synonym for Xiao Society Sixth Department. How many people don’t know who is the leader has never seen it.
But the great reputation of "Xiao" really makes people believe that they are elusive and have no trace of contact. There are ten like Xiao Liulang!
There is no secret that "小" cannot find out in the world. I am afraid that what they said to their wives at night and what knowledge they used. As long as the emperor wants to know, the owls can investigate clearly.
Is it true that there is really a way to live in the world? There are really gods and immortals?
The eldest princess continued to recite, "I am not sure about the mystery of the longevity of Taoyuan Village. However, I have informed the villagers of the changes in the outside world and told the elders in the village to come to Beijing to meet the saints, and they will arrive in Beijing soon."
It's finished reading.
Hu Ping'an sat down, Hu Lu looked at the court officials and was proud, "What do you think of all the beloved ministers?"
No one talks, they need to digest it.
Xiao Shen was the first to digest it and said, "It's better to see it."
The mouth is really hard.
"Okay, I will call Xiao Xiang with you then. I just don't know if Xiao Xiang will say that he can't prove that the other party really lived two hundred years old." Hu Lu smiled slightly.
Xiao Shen replied, "What Your Majesty said happened to be a concern for me, so I plan to invite Mr. Cai, who had participated in the compilation of "Qianshi", to meet the elders of Taoyuan Village."
Hu Lu, "But Mr. Cai is old~"
Xiao Shen, "Although Mr. Cai is eighty-six, he is still very smart in his ears and eyes, and reads books and newspapers every day."
Hu Lu waved his sleeves and said, "It's right."
With this wave, another secret letter was shaken out from the robe. Hu Lu picked it up and laughed, "I said that there are gods in the world, so are there monsters? ~"
The ministers, look at me, I see you, I don’t know if it should be, because most people in power are taboos for this kind of thing.
In a bright world and a prosperous era, how could there be those dirty things?
However, Hu Lu said, "This can be there."
Then he handed the secret letter to the eldest princess through his close servant, "Peace, please read it again."
Hu Ping'an, who was a little excited, said, "Your Majesty, I personally told you that Jiulang passed by Caozhou Prefecture in Hedong. He heard that there were water monsters in the tributary of the Yanjiang River in Changhe. He could drag a boat into the river and hurt people's lives..."
After thinking about this, Xiao Ping'an's expression became solemn, "In order to verify this, I have damaged three brothers and confirmed that there are indeed monsters in the water, like a monkey, as big as a giant boat, as if they have magical powers, and can make waves and control the water flow. I also escaped by chance."
This secret letter ends here. After Jiulang escaped, he immediately wrote this letter to report the matter. As for the follow-up, he could only wait on the riverside for the emperor's handling opinions.
Hu Lu sighed, "Jiulang has excellent martial arts skills, has 50% of my strength, and was born in Jiangnan, proficient in water. However, when facing the monster in the water, he escaped by chance.
"I'm afraid this monster is extremely powerful and needs to be used unconventional means. This is also an important reason why I promulgated the Immortal Search Order. Only spells can defeat monsters.
"My dear friends, the world in our eyes is probably not as simple as it seems. There are immortals and monsters, and there may be something difficult to understand. If they don't pretend not to see it, they will no longer exist.
"How to deal with the relationship with these characters in the future will be a proposition that the Lords of Ganggu must think about. This is a great challenge and a great opportunity..."
Hu Luzheng made a generous speech when he suddenly glanced at his nephew Yu Shaoyan who wanted to speak but stopped. The child's face turned red in an anxious manner.
"Shaoyan, what's wrong with you? You're so anxious to pee," asked the petty Hu Lu.
Yu Shaoyan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I want to say that I served as the magistrate of Cao County, Caozhou Prefecture eight years ago. From Luzhou Prefecture to Beijing, if you want to go north, you must take the water route. The Yanjiang section of Caozhou Prefecture is the only way to go north!"
The originally smiling Emperor Fushou changed color instantly...
