Chapter 98: Aspiration
Xiao Ling asked Leng Lie to pick three agile and alert people from the team to live in Blue Sky Garden. As for Leng Lie himself, he was the captain of the first team and of course he had to be on call at any time.
Shadow stood by while Xiao Ling and Mr. Liu walked into the inner hall. Mr. Liu smiled and said, "The boss has prepared a small gift for you this time. I don't know if you like it." Mr. Liu handed it to Xiao Ling.
It was a small thing. It looked a bit like a lighter, but slightly larger than an ordinary lighter. Xiao Ling held it in his hand and played with it for a while, but couldn't see why. Liu Lao smiled, stretched out his hand and pressed a button. This zoomed in
The original lighter turned into a delicate pistol with an ivory shell.
"This is..." Xiao Ling was stunned.
"This is a small short gun developed by the country's most advanced researchers. Although it can only add five bullets at a time, it is not as powerful as the Desert Eagle. It is an excellent choice for carrying around for self-defense. Because of the high cost and technical limitations, now
The quantity is limited. We can rest assured if you keep one on your body for self-defense."
In the world of short guns, the Polar Silver Fox dominates, followed by the North African Lion, and the Desert Eagle. They are the most lethal short weapons. Although this gun is exquisite and small, it is as powerful as the Desert Eagle. To Xiao Ling
Said, it is really the best gift.
"This is the best gift I have ever received." Xiao Ling was disrespectful and accepted it.
"By the way, the ingredients for making the Soul Recovery Pill have arrived, but you haven't recovered yet, so don't worry about it for now. We'll just handle the preliminary work."
"Actually, my injury has healed..." Before Xiao Ling could finish his words, Mr. Liu shouted and died: "Don't be brave, your health is more important than anything else, and nothing we can say will make you willful."
Hu Wei."
Xiao Ling knew that the old man cared about his body, and whatever he said would be regarded as trying to be brave, so he simply took the action he always advocated and smiled bitterly, pulling off his shirt to let Mr. Liu see his scars clearly.
When Mr. Liu saw it, he was quite surprised. There were almost no scars on Xiao Ling's body. This little guy can always surprise people.
"My injury has really healed. It won't have any impact if I continue to do my previous job." Xiao Ling tried to convince Mr. Liu.
"When you are well, you have to cultivate yourself well. We have been waiting for decades. The Sixiang family has been waiting for more than two thousand years. How many dynasties have we witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties? We have waited for such a long time. I am not in a hurry. I will give you a long vacation." Mr. Liu.
I was still worried that he would not fully recover, so I refused.
"Then I have nothing to do, isn't it boring?"
"Working people look forward to a long vacation every day, but you'd better not be happy to let you have a long vacation." Mr. Liu glanced at this little guy angrily, but his heart was still filled with emotion. Being so selfless like him can make people happy.
There were not many young people he touched anymore. "If you have nothing to do, just go back and have fun with those girls and cultivate relationships. We old men are waiting to drink your wedding wine."
Xiao Ling remained silent uncomfortably, "Marriage?" This horoscope has not yet been written, how far away it is. Moreover, to put it bluntly, he has not yet decided who he wants to marry.
Mr. Liu guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Don't worry, since you can't make a choice, just marry them all and strengthen the Sixiang family."
Xiao Lingo(╯□╰)o!
"It will probably cause a sensation." Xiao Ling was worried. This possibility was not small, especially now that we are in the age of the Internet, the age of... Weibo.
"Don't worry, the people above will only turn a blind eye or close one eye." Mr. Liu reassured him with a smile.
"Besides." Xiao Ling suddenly remembered another thing, "By the way, Mr. Liu, have you ever studied the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic? Are there any similarities or similarities between the medicines recorded in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic and the Secret of Immortality?
?”
"Huang Di Nei Jing?" Liu Lao was stunned, then shook his head, his face looked a little confused, but also a little surprised, "I really didn't pay attention to it, what's wrong, did you find anything?"
"No, but a senior reminded me that reading the "Huangdi Neijing" might be helpful to me."
Mr. Liu nodded, thinking he was talking about the old guys from the Sixiang family. He didn't think much about it and said, "I'll go back and do some research to see if there is really any connection."
Xiao Ling thought that the old monster had lived for more than two thousand years and was well-informed. They didn't know the origin of the tripod, but the old monster might be able to get some clues. So, he took a photo of the ancient tripod to get rid of Liu Lao.
Dark Eagle arranged to stay, bid farewell to everyone, and then returned to Blue Sky Garden.
The way he wanted to contact the old monster was to go to the abandoned factory, whistle with all the energy in his heart, and then wait for the old monster to join him.
After waiting for about two minutes, the old monster suddenly appeared beside him like a ghost and asked faintly: "Boy, what do you want from me?"
"Senior, you came just in time." Xiao Ling said with a flattering smile.
"Don't beat around the bush, say it directly." The old monster said indifferently with his hands behind his back.
Xiao Ling took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the photo of the ancient tripod, handed it to the old monster, and said: "Old senior, you are well-informed. Please check if you have seen this tripod or know anything about it.
Its thing.”
As soon as the old monster saw this cauldron, his face suddenly became very exciting. It was green, red, and white, forming a palette. His eyes also changed a lot, sometimes panicked, sometimes sharp, sometimes deep. It was obvious that he recognized it.
I know the origin of this tripod.
Xiao Ling's appetite was aroused by him, and he asked eagerly: "Old senior, you recognize this tripod, right?"
The old monster nodded and admitted: "I recognize this tripod, but..."
"Aren't you going to say that the time has not come yet? You will tell me when I am qualified." Xiao Ling was helpless. Doesn't this old guy know that this is very appetizing?
"Do you really want to know? But once we talk about this cauldron, it will involve a lot of things." The old monster was a little hesitant.
"Say, maybe the pressure I'm under now is not enough, and I can still withstand a little more pressure. Only with pressure can I be motivated." Xiao Ling smiled relaxedly, yawning his shoulders and spreading his hands.
The old monster pondered for a moment and said: "This tripod... I saw this tripod for the first time during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is said in history that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty got a tripod in 113 BC. Do you know this?
"
"Is this the tripod?" Xiao Ling was surprised and stunned. He never thought that this tripod, which neither Mr. Liu nor the others knew about, turned out to be the tripod that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty obtained that changed his future destiny.
The old monster said solemnly: "Yes, this is the real tripod obtained by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that year. Those found by the world later were all forged to deceive others and divert attention."
"Then what does this tripod have to do with our Sixiang family?" What does it have to do with him? Why was he able to get some lost information from the ancient tripod? Why did a series of prescriptions suddenly appear in his mind?
"Because it is said that there is some secret hidden in this cauldron, the secret about immortality." The old monster was very reluctant to touch this topic and took a deep breath.
Of course, Xiao Ling could guess this possibility, because some of the prescriptions given to him by Guding were similar to those recorded in the Secret of Immortality, so he absolutely believed in this possibility. What he wanted to know was what happened here
What happened to Ding.
"What did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty do after he got this cauldron?" What the old monster is worried about must not be the cauldron itself, but the history behind it.
"In the following years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was obsessed with worshiping immortals and seeking Taoism, and achieved immortality. Anyone with a little knowledge of history knows this, so I don't need to say more. As for its relationship with your Sixiang family... your Sixiang family
What is the historical mission for more than two thousand years? You also know that after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty obtained the tripod, he gave it to the Sixiang family so that the Sixiang family could use it to study the elixir of life." The old monster was very reluctant to mention it.
This gloomy history is very painful.
Xiao Ling said: "After knowing the origin of the ancient tripod, I can guess all this, but what is the history you are talking about?"
The old monster narrowed his eyes and raised his face in pain, looked at the sky sadly at a 45-degree angle, and said, "Back then, the Sixiang family was not as prosperous as it is now. At that time, the Sixiang family was led by a general, and this general was
The one who later gave me immortality."
This was a bolt from the blue. Xiao Ling was so shocked that his eyes widened open. He looked at the old monster and asked, "What is the name of this general?"
The old monster shook his head: "Even if you tell me, you don't know him. There is no such person in history. His name, his merits, and the traces he left were all wiped clean by history with his death. Except for me.
, no one knows him, no one knows that this person appeared in history."
"That's such a pity, fate plays tricks on people." Xiao Ling couldn't help sighing after hearing this. The only person in history who cracked the secret of immortality gave others immortality, but he himself died early. This
This is really ironic.
"Although he is dead and the traces he left behind have been washed away by history, his soul and consciousness have been preserved, so I should feel relieved." The old monster didn't know why.
He was already in tears at that time, but now he looked at Xiao Ling with a smile in his tears, this young man who gave him hope again.
"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Ling was stunned and confused. The old monster looked at him when he said this. Does the soul, consciousness, etc. he was talking about have anything to do with him?
"Why do you suddenly ask me about this tripod? Why do you want to know so much?" the old monster asked him with a meaningful smile.
"Because...because when I saw this tripod, I had a very strange feeling. I felt that it...was very familiar, but I had definitely never seen it before. Moreover, when he touched it, he had a strange feeling in his mind.
Some prescriptions appeared out of thin air, prescriptions that I have never seen before." Xiao Ling felt that she had pushed away the clouds in front of her, but she fell into even bigger clouds again, and her doubts grew bigger and bigger.
When the old monster heard this, he changed from great sadness to great joy and laughed loudly: "Haha...Brother, for so many years, I have been regretting your untimely death and feeling guilty that I couldn't help you back then. It turns out that you did not really die in this world."
