I wish for longevity in the Peach Blossom Temple

Chapter 21 Old Li's Wish

Su Yang controlled the mysterious light and flew towards Taohua Temple.

He was still immersed in the strange world in the earthsea.

There is no panic, more excitement.

The world of Earthsea dazzled him.

He traveled here just to see the brilliance of Taoism. The stunning peach blossom sword was exactly in line with the magnificent fairy world in Su Yang's mind.

What's even more frightening is the immortal means that exist in the human world when I look back.

Mysterious, magnificent, magical!

I used to think that reaching the stage of forming a pill or reaching the Nascent Soul stage was a great power, but today I see...
Only those who go to the cave can be considered true immortals!
He was once again filled with curiosity about this world.

Looking down from the sky, Su Yang can see the panoramic view of Taohua Town. Now Taohua Temple is gradually becoming lively. Firstly, it is because the whole mountain of peach blossoms are in full bloom, and due to the fame of Master Su Yang, there is an endless stream of people coming to pay homage; secondly, it is already March, and peach blossoms are gradually blooming in Taohua Town and even on the mountain behind Taohua Town; thirdly, the Peach Blossom Lantern Festival is coming soon, and the people of Taohua Town rarely enjoy the festival that belongs only to Taohua Town, so they are making preparations.

At the entrance of the town, horse-drawn carriages would arrive from time to time.

Those are the literati, talented men and beautiful women in the city who come to Taohua Town to enjoy the scenery.

Among them are many people who practice martial arts.

The next month is the busiest time for Taohua Town, and also the time when Taohua Town has the most tourists.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded on military power, it also established the imperial examination system to recruit scholars from humble backgrounds.

It is a pity that in this world where force rules everything, poetry and prose are ultimately minor arts, and few people use them to embark on the path of spiritual practice. However, it is still a rare opportunity for poor people to succeed.

Su Yang returned and landed under his natal peach tree in the backyard.

According to custom, all the ghost energy in the stomach and the Zunhun Banner is sealed in the natal peach tree.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding two Taoist books in his hands.

One of them is called [Tao Mu Suo Yang Gong], and the other is given by Di Hai Bei Jian Ku Gu, which is [Tao Yang Chang Sheng Gong]

I don't know what the relationship is between the skeleton carrying a sword and the Peach Blossom Temple.

Putting down the [Taomu Suoyang Gong] and holding the [Taoyang Changsheng Gong] in his hand, Su Yang began to read it carefully, as if he was fascinated.

By the time the sun rose high in the sky, it was already noon.

In Linjiang in March, the cold is gradually fading away and it is the warmest time of spring.

Su Yang finally figured out the difference between the two sets of skills.

One focuses on planting trees, the other focuses on increasing longevity. Both are practices, and both seem to confirm each other.

"I see. Entering the Dao increases lifespan by twenty years, and entering the Mysterious Pass realm increases lifespan by forty years?"

"In other words, if I practice the [Taoyang Longevity Technique], wouldn't it be possible to add another 60 years to my lifespan?"

Su Yang realized that the two skills could be used in conjunction with each other, and neither was indispensable if he wanted to achieve the goal of increasing his lifespan.

He couldn't help but be overjoyed.

After practicing for so long, what he lacked the most was still longevity. Although the popularity of Taohua Temple was much higher than before, it was a pity that mortals had a short lifespan. Those who were willing to shorten their lifespans mostly did so out of human desire. It was really difficult for Su Yang.

[Three days ago, Wang Sheng, a scholar from Taohua Town, prayed in the temple. He is thirty-eight years old. He has studied hard for twenty years and failed many times. He is a famous scholar. He wishes to ask the Taoist to bless him and help him become the top scholar. He is willing to shorten his life by one year.]

[Two days ago, a woman from Linjiang City prayed in the temple. She was forty-three years old and had never been married. She thought she was beautiful and had a good life. She wished that the Taoist ancestors would bless her and help her find a good man to marry. She was willing to shorten her life by three months.]

[Five days ago, Zhang Mazi, a ruffian from Linjiang City, prayed in the temple. He was from a poor family, had nothing, and lived a muddle-headed life. He wished that the Taoist master would bless him, grant him a thousand gold coins, and grant him the title of Marquis of Wanhu. He was willing to shorten his life by one day, and take thirty coins as incense money.]

[A day ago, Li Suiyuan, a great painter from Linjiang City, prayed in the temple. He had been seeking the Tao for forty-three years, and had spent all his wealth, but had found no way to do so. He prayed for the blessing of the Taoist ancestor, and wished to see the brilliant Taoism in the temple, and was willing to shorten his life by twenty years.]

【.】

The world is bustling with people’s desires, and people’s desires grow and decline.

Su Yang looked at the panel and sneered.

I stole thirty cents from him for offering incense, this feud is irreconcilable!

My hands are itching.

In this world, there are people who do their duty and there are speculators. Su Yang is unwilling to fulfill the wishes of speculators. On the contrary, there are many people who do not pray to shorten their lifespans, but only want peace and prosperity, and to get rid of diseases and disasters. Su Yang is willing to help one or two of them.

It's just a piece of cake.

If wishes were truly granted 100%, the world would have been in chaos long ago.

Su Yang closed his eyes, confirmed the two exercises in his mind, and practiced the [Taoyang Changsheng Gong].

His cultivation is now quite good, and he can verify each other, so his practice is particularly smooth. Naturally, he will not waste his life on deduction.

Ten days later, he opened his eyes under the peach tree.

[Remaining lifespan: 78]

Su Yang chuckled and focused his eyes on the [Yangsha Corpse Driving Technique].

He has not yet fully comprehended the skeleton scriptures of Baijia Village, and the other techniques require too much lifespan. If he wants to refine the ghost energy as quickly as possible, he can only rely on deducing this technique.

[Kung Fu: Yangsha Corpse-driving Technique (for beginners, whether to use ten years of life to practice until minor success)]

[You practiced under your natal peach tree in the temple. You began to refine ghost energy. Your cultivation level has improved significantly. You failed to break through the second level of the Mysterious Gate Realm.]

[You began to practice the art of driving corpses in the third year. The Yang Sha in your body began to grow, and your understanding of the art of driving corpses increased day by day.]

[You have mastered the art of driving corpses in the tenth year. You can control the corpses more familiarly.]

[Kung Fu: Yangsha Corpse-Driving Technique (Minor Success, can it be deduced to the Great Success with a life span of 20 years)]

[You practiced under your natal peach tree in the temple. You began to refine ghost energy. Your cultivation increased by a bit, but you failed to break through to the second level of the Mysterious Gate Realm.]

[You begin to practice the art of driving corpses. In the fifth year, you transform the Yang Sha in your body into Yang Sha Xuan Guang. You can skillfully control the corpses of the first level of Xuanguan Realm.]

【.】

[You continue to practice the art of driving corpses, and in the twentieth year you will have perfected the Yangsha Xuanguang practice. You will be able to skillfully control the corpses of the third level of the Xuanguan realm.]

[Remaining lifespan: 48]

Thirty years of hard work went by in one night.

Su Yang slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be enlightenment in his eyes. He found that his thoughts seemed to be wrong.

If one wants to knock on the mysterious gate nine times, it is far from enough to rely on the deduction of the technique and refine the ghost energy. In the past, breaking the mirror was a natural result of reaching a certain level of technique or cultivation.

The purpose of knocking on the mysterious gate nine times is to condense one's own Taoist intention and use it to form the elixir.

The panel has the effect of deducing exercises, but when it comes to enlightenment, how can one achieve it by just sitting under a peach tree?
He couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

During the deduction, he tried to break the mirror several times, but he felt the yang energy in his body churning and he almost went insane and died.

His master passed away early, the Taoist temple was too small, he had no mentor to guide him, and he himself was not talented, so he sought the truth on his own and ultimately lacked some destiny.

After thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

When it comes to the comprehension of the profound gate, there is one person who is extremely suitable, and he has in his hand the thing that he needs most.

With anticipation, Su Yang stepped out of Taohua Temple.

Prepare to fly with the mysterious light.

But I saw a lot of people at the foot of the mountain and a happy horse galloping on the street.

"Get out of the way!"

"Everyone, get out of the way!"

"Old man, you are looking for death, get out of the way, I can't stop you!"

The young man in brocade clothes held the reins tightly, but the car under his crotch was his father's newly bought BMW. He was itching to ride it secretly and prepared to go out of the city for a trip.

The young man is dressed in fine clothes and riding a fierce horse, and the knight is riding his horse across the world.

This is the most popular story of a martial arts master in vernacular novels. He practiced martial arts for several years and dreamed of such scenes several times.

Unexpectedly, the horse was very wild and started running wildly as soon as it left the city.

It was indeed a BMW, it ran for twenty miles without stopping, making him see stars.

As luck would have it, the horse ran into Taohua Town.

Now is the most prosperous time for Taohua Town.

There was chaos and the crowd fled in all directions. Even four or five tea stalls and wine shops were knocked over.

In front of me was an old man with blurry eyes and a cane, standing in the middle of the road and no matter how hard I tried to call him, I couldn't stop him.

He was so frightened that his soul almost flew away.

If he killed someone, his father would beat him so hard that he would have to lie down for half a month. Thinking of his father's strict authority, he felt bitter.

Suddenly, a mysterious light flashed before my eyes.

He found that he and his horse were flying up into the air, floating in the air for a long time and turning several circles before falling down.

Suddenly I felt my stomach churning.

Fortunately, everyone is fine.

He turned his head and saw a young Taoist with extraordinary temperament standing next to the old man. He looked exactly like the Taoist immortal in the storybooks.

"Immortal Immortal!"

He stood there, at a loss.

"Uncle Li, are you okay?"

Su Yang looked at the pancake seller Old Li with a smile.

"Is it Su Xiao, Master Su Xian?"

There was no light in Old Li's eyes. He stretched out his trembling hands and groped around for a few times, grabbed a hand, and then slowly knelt down.

"Thank you, Master Su. My son is better now, all thanks to Master Su's prescription. I am here to fulfill my wish."

As he spoke, Old Li quietly took out a purse.

"Master Su, I still have three coins and sixteen cents in my purse. I came here to return it to you."

"Uncle Li, where is your son?"

"Master Su, don't worry. He has taken over my business and is very busy." Old Li laughed. He was indeed old and could not see clearly, but fortunately his son was not dead and was still alive and well and could take over his business.

He worked hard all his life and had a son in his old age. All he wanted was to have someone to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.

"It would be great if he could live a few more years. I could give him a family and maybe even have grandchildren."

Old Li's cloudy eyes moved slightly, as if he had thought of something, and there was a hint of longing smile on his old face.

Su Yang looked at Old Li quietly.

It turns out that even Old Li started to call him Master Su. He originally thought that it would take a long time to escape from the mortal world, but now he is beginning to feel it.

Old Li has been selling cakes at a stall at the entrance of the town every morning for forty years, and at the foot of the Taoist temple mountain at noon and in the afternoon. He watched Su Yang grow up and is considered to be a close friend of Su Yang.

When Su Yang was young, he would practice martial arts and watch from the side with a smile on his face.

But now, he is really dying, in less than a year.

Just
After thinking about it, Su Yang took the purse. With a flash of mysterious light, he reappeared in the same place with a huge fairy peach in his hand.

"Uncle Li, have a peach. It's guaranteed to be sweet."

Su Yang smiled and stuffed the longevity peach into Old Li's hand. Seeing that Old Li refused, Su Yang got angry and forced Old Li to take a bite.

Then, a mysterious light flashed, and the young man in brocade clothes and the fierce horse disappeared from everyone's sight.

[Old Li, the pancake seller in Taohua Town, prays in front of you, hoping to live a few more years so that your children and grandchildren can enjoy your happiness]

[Old Li took the immortal peach and his life was extended by five years. His wish was fulfilled and he was rewarded with three copper coins and sixteen coins.]

Su Yang held the peach core in his hand and ignored the information on the panel.

From today onwards, he no longer has any causal relationship with Old Li and his son.

There is a difference between immortals and mortals.
