The road to immortality started from a blind man in a pharmacy

Chapter 135 187, 188. Lantern Festival, ruins, Hebai Kingdom, birth (please subscribe)

Time shift.

Festival of Lights.

Great Shang Dynasty

The sky is full of fiery trees and silver flowers, and the sky is full of music and music while climbing the star bridge.

The lanterns were hung to make trouble, and the peace songs were sung together.

On this night, the ban is released and the lights are on all night long. There are all kinds of lamps.

Snowflake lanterns, plum blossom lanterns, chopped spring ice; embroidered screen lanterns, painted screen lanterns, all made in various colors. Walnut lanterns, lotus lanterns, high-hanging lanterns; green lion lanterns, white elephant lanterns, high-hanging lanterns

There are even some high-spirited dignitaries who "fight for lanterns" and build huge tower lanterns, giant building lanterns, etc. that are several feet tall on the low hills of the imperial capital. They can still be seen at the foot of the mountain more than ten miles away.

However, the most exciting one must still be Xuanwu Temple.

In the view, thousands of exotic flowers and plants were illuminated by lamps in front of Emperor Xuanwu's main avenue hall.

Those vanilla and elegant flowers were bathed in light and baked like colorful corals in the deep sea.

Pilgrims walk among the streams of light and under the corals. When they raise their heads for a moment, they will have the illusion that they are in the sky.

Dreamy lights and shadows, and carnival noises fill the senses. During the Festival of Lights, many people are enjoying the carnival.

In the troubled times before, the Lantern Festival might have brought a bit of sadness, but now in this country with the "Xuanwu Emperor" guarding it, those troubled times are gradually turning into a prosperous one.

Holy boys perform rituals in the altar, generals take off their armor and change robes, warriors mingle with the common people, shopkeepers shout about business, restaurants are full of fireworks, brothel singers stretch their throats, and a piece of silk, string, bamboo, and bamboo music has no melodious sound, and the Tao completes this prosperous age. bustling.

"It's so prosperous, so let's get drunk and sing, and have fun in time."

Someone in an elegant restaurant raised his glass to the moon and said, "Life is short, and I am so lucky to be in this world."

"Waiter, serve the wine and the meat!" someone called again.

Someone else said: "Indulge yourself in the mountains and rivers, why bother with all the troubles? Drink, drink, hahaha!"

When the war ended and peace came, the cultural trends of the Shang Dynasty also changed.

The many fragile lives and sudden deaths during the war awakened their reverence for life, making them cherish this short life and long for "there is wine today and get drunk today" instead of continuing to pursue fame and fortune.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, the streets below are bustling with activity.

The boy-like man was walking down the street here, holding the hand of a beautiful pregnant woman.

From time to time, children would run past the two of them, but the man would always protect the beautiful woman carefully to prevent the beautiful woman from being accidentally hit.

"Life is short." The beautiful woman suddenly sighed, "Actually, even if you are a member of aristocratic family, isn't that true? Looking at the sea, what is the difference between a member of aristocratic family and ordinary people?"

The man held her hand and was about to say something when he heard the sound of "ta da da da da" footsteps in the distance, accompanied by the sound of the impact of metal scales. After a while, he saw a group of soldiers coming from a distance. After coming, the leader half-knelt in front of the man and said respectfully: "See you, Your Majesty."

The man and the beautiful woman are Song Cheng and Su Ningyu.

After Su Ningyu's health improved slightly, Song Chengcheng took her out for a walk during the Lantern Festival.

Song Chengdao: "You guys are patrolling, I'm just walking around with my wife."

"yes!"

The soldiers paid homage to the great man and dispersed.

And in the blink of an eye, someone came to salute not far away.

When I asked, I found out that it was from a certain daughter-in-law's family, and this family happened to have a lot of connections with the regent.

This family just passed by, and many other families came in a hurry.

Song Chengna recognized those many people and just nodded one by one.

After a while, he took two fireworks poles and gave them to Xiao Yuer.

Su Ningyu took two fireworks poles and waved them in the night sky. Soon many powerful women followed suit.

Xiao Yuer smiled happily and spun around.

She has been practicing hard for many years. After all, she rarely sees such fireworks in the world. At this time, she is surrounded by people and lights. The lights and the moon reflect each other, and the people's faces are like flowers. It is very lively.

Such liveliness and prosperity often make people forget loneliness, coldness, and death.

Later, Xiao Yuer wanted to drink something sour.

Song Cheng remembered that there was a good "sour noodle soup" somewhere in the imperial city, so he helped his wife go there.

As I walked, I saw a beggar sitting in a barrel and looking up at the moon. Next to him, a powerful man was patiently talking to the beggar, as if he wanted to hire him into the family.

The beggar was unpredictable, but he didn't respond. Finally, he seemed to be completely annoyed, and then he said: "I'm not interested in glory and wealth."

The powerful man became anxious and asked, "Then what do you care about?"

The beggar smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't block me from seeing the clear and bright moon."

Xiao Yu'er was stunned after hearing the unintentional conversation.

She pulled Song Cheng and asked softly: "Could he be an expert?"

Song Cheng could tell at a glance that the beggar had Qi realm strength. To be honest, this realm was already very good. If someone kept asking, he might be able to gain "adventures" from the beggar. However, this beggar was still too weak for him, so he shook his head slightly.

The next day,

I don’t know how many drunkards woke up on the bank of willows.

But Song Cheng woke up in his own home.

In front of him was Miss An, and behind him was the young lady.

As an old couple, even though it's not that exciting, they are familiar with each other, which is better than warmth.

He turned forward and turned over habitually, cupping the boy's wife, so that the warm blood belonging to the warrior in his body could be released.

Afterwards, when everything was calm, the house became peaceful again, but the bustle outside the house still followed the spring breeze, passing through the hall, the alley, squeezing through the window gap, and entering this room.

Song Cheng thought of the beggar's incident last night, and couldn't help but sigh.

He still remembered reading some novels before crossing over. In the novels, there would always be various adventures after the protagonist entered the "grass period". Those strong people who had never appeared before emerged like mushrooms after rain; and the forces that were extremely powerful before the protagonist joined, became dangerous in an instant after the protagonist joined.

However, he didn't encounter anything here.

He was the biggest adventure of Da Shang.

Anyone who could get a little relationship with him would really soar to the sky.

And with his support, Da Shang was ten times or a hundred times stronger than before.

Song Cheng's grass period was very comfortable and very comfortable.

He had no intention of leaving this comfort zone at all.

He didn't understand why people had to leave their comfort zone and find some challenges and unhappiness for themselves?

If you stay in the comfort zone all the time, you will always be comfortable.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and don't necessarily have to jump into danger.

However, the old couple quickly handled everything.

The two women can't leave now, because Song Cheng has set a hard rule for them: they are not allowed to walk around unless they enter the Qi realm.

Therefore, the two women will continue to practice with Ying'er after breakfast.

At this time, Tong Niang simply tied a ponytail. Because she didn't go out, she didn't need to dress up.

And Miss An was dressing up exquisitely. This was her habit. Whether anyone saw her or not, she would make herself look very exquisite.

When there were only two people left in the room, Miss An suddenly said: "Husband, do you want to take in more concubines?"

She could feel her husband's restraint.

Her husband could not get complete satisfaction from them at all.

Her husband was too powerful, and he was almost a different race from them.

When they were having sex, they could forget about love, but her husband couldn't do it at all.

Because if her husband forgot about love, he might completely crush them.

But my husband often retreats to practice, or does things outside, and is rarely at home, but he still cannot be satisfied. In the long run, there will be problems.

Compared with my husband, who only has three wives; my husband's brothers, even Xiao An, or the big names in the imperial capital all have wives and concubines, how can they be like my husband?

Song Cheng smiled and said, "Don't we still have Ying'er and Ling'er?"

As the leader of the Yin Gui Society, Miss An has encountered a lot of love and revenge killings in the rivers and lakes, and how many of them are because of women? Men are looking for novelty, even if they restrain themselves, it is not as good as satisfying them directly.

Miss An decided to solve this "uncontrollable factor", so she thought about it and said directly: "I will pick one for my husband, so as to share the burden of me, sister Jia'er, and sister Su."

Song Cheng shook his head.

He still values ​​his relatives very much.

If there is an extra woman inexplicably, but he just plays around, that won't work.

Miss An's eyes flickered, and she didn't ask any more questions.

However, the two have been together for a long time, so who doesn’t know who?

Song Cheng understood immediately, so he added: "Sister An, don't act first and ask for permission later, just throw the girl on my bed."

Miss An saw that she was exposed, and said angrily: "How many girls want to enter the Song Palace and sleep by your pillow."

Song Cheng said: "That's just their family's expectation.

Can they have real feelings if they marry me?

Some of them are just trembling and submissive.

After a long time, they are just trapped in the courtyard and die lonely."

Miss An said: "Husband, do you think that if they don't marry you, will they really find a good family that they like?"

After that, without waiting for Song Cheng to speak, she turned around, took Song Cheng's hand, and said softly: "Husband, listen to me this time, sister Jiaer and I have discussed it."

Song Cheng had no choice but to say: "Whatever, but if you find it, you have to let me see it first."

Miss An smiled and said: "Okay"

Soon, the couple talked about A Ting again.

After stepping through the dark clouds and miasma, Ating and his four companions were chivalrous and roaming around the Wanling Empire, and their action targets were usually "ancient ruins".

In response, Ating gave a local explanation: if she found an ancient strongman, her prayer technique could draw strength from the ancient strongman, thereby obtaining a stronger prayer technique.

The prayer technique is the characteristic power of the Wanling Empire.

It is also a power that can only be used around the Wanling Empire.

This power cannot be used if it is too far away from the Wanling Empire.

Therefore, in the battle between the Wanling Empire and the Molten Fire Empire, the prayer masters could not go on expeditions at all.

After running away from home for a long time, Ating's dislike for his mother's "forced marriage" gradually disappeared, and the bird flying down from the eaves began to look for An Chenyu to report safety.

Song Cheng was very curious about the "prayer masters" of the Wanling Empire.

At his level: everything must have a cause, and all power also has a source.

Where is the source of the power of the "Prayer"?

And why did this happen?

But "where are the answers to these questions?" Song Cheng knows.

Don't seek outside, but resort to inside.

As long as you become stronger, you will know the answer to this question.

He is looking forward to the "birth of the third child", the formation of the "Four Evil Lands", and also paying attention to the strange fusion progress on Jilei Mountain.

Time flies, and more than half a year has passed.

The Lantern Festival in early spring was still yesterday, but what I saw was the deep yellow withered leaves, covering the thousands of palaces in the imperial city, hesitating on the roofs of different heights and on the ground with different floor tiles.

It is late autumn.

Su Ningyu has been pregnant for a full eighteen months.

This can no longer be described as a freak.

Su Mengzhen was so scared that she crawled out of the ice coffin and came to her sister's side to take care of her every day.

By the way, the conclusion of the "Peach Experiment" that day was unexpected, but to some extent it was also expected: ordinary people who eat peaches will die directly as if they eat arsenic. Even if they eat it in the Qi realm, they will die miserably. Only pseudo-Xuan can step into the true Xuan with "Peaches".

This conclusion is enough for Song Cheng.

His original judgment has also been further confirmed.

Xuan level, can be put into medicine, bring medicine people,

And the highest is to promote the warrior to "pseudo Xuan realm".

And "Peach" is very likely to be a "medicine" of a higher level,

So how can it break through the "pseudo Xuan level" to the "true Xuan level".

Song Cheng was also very worried about Su Ningyu's abnormality. He almost stopped all actions, stayed by Su Ningyu's side all day, and listened to Su Ningyu's words.

Even if he was with his sister-in-law every day, the two of them tacitly did not make love at this time, but took care of Su Ningyu together.

At this time, Xiao Yu'er no longer looked like a child of a noble family. She was like a woman with a difficult childbirth. She often sweated coldly in pain, her face was like gold paper, and her breath was weak.

It was hard to bear during the day and hard to sleep at night.

She was frozen like an ice ball. She finally fell asleep for a while, but she would scream in the middle of the night, shouting "Hell, ghosts" and so on, and then wake up.

After a period of comfort, when she spoke again, she would hear words like "I dreamed of a road, a very narrow road, like a road in the countryside at dusk. I walked on that road, just like an ordinary person, and all my strength was gone. I began to panic. When I reached the end of that road, I saw hell."

If you ask what hell is like, you will get "hundreds of ghosts running wild", where there are fires everywhere, and there are charcoal corpses crying in the fire, like babies crying; there are also swords and shadows, thousands of miles of old graves, and flickering ghost lights, like real and illusory, it is really hard to distinguish.

Song Cheng knew about the "four strong" and "four evil".

He also knew that the "four strong and four evil" revealed part of the truth of this world to a certain extent.

One-dimensional creatures cannot see two dimensions, and two dimensions cannot see three dimensions, so how can three-dimensional people be arrogant and think that the limit of the world is three dimensions?

It's just that they can't see a higher level.

However, the "dimension" that Song Cheng knew from some popular science books before crossing over is completely inapplicable to this alien world.

Before crossing, the three dimensions are "lines and surfaces", and the fourth dimension is "time".

But now, the "four" in the "four strong and four evil" is "body, soul and dream".

All people are "three-dimensional life", that is, only "body, soul, dream".

The body is in the world, the soul is in the body, and occasionally you can dream about some free and strange things in the world.

The "fourth dimension" is the end of the dream and the entrance to the "reappearing world".

If every action and every cause and effect of life is a small stone thrown into the rolling sea of ​​time, then. Everything in the "reappearing world" is the pattern engraved on the immortal mountain.

Ordinary people can only dream and let their thoughts wander in dreams. Even if there are a few thoughts that rush into the "reappearing world", they are fleeting.

Although the evil ghosts have a place in the "reappearing world", they have completely lost their human consciousness, "body, soul" and even "dreams". They are incomplete.

Therefore, Song Cheng could understand Su Ningyu's dream.

There is no doubt that the "countryside dusk road" that Xiao Yu'er said was a dream, and "hell" was the reappearance world.

He smiled bitterly secretly. Sure enough, this time, it was not simple.

Ating was just the child born by him and the "two ghosts".

And the one in Xiao Yu'er's belly was born by him and the "eight ghosts including the big dark sky".

Has it left a mark in the reappearance world before it was born?

"Husband, husband!"

Xiao Yu'er grabbed Song Cheng's hand pitifully, "Am I dying?"

Song Cheng said: "What's the difference? Your sister Chenyu was like this when she was pregnant, but the reaction during pregnancy was strong."

"Yeah" Xiao Yu'er responded softly.

After a long time, she calmed down.

Song Cheng walked out of the house a little, but his daughter-in-law asked to see him outside the door.

The daughter-in-law held a little baby boy and said respectfully, "Grandpa."

Song Cheng looked at the baby boy, who was also staring at him with a pair of big round eyes like black grapes.

This was his eldest grandson, and Song An's eldest son - Song Changjian.

"Chang'an Xile" was the name he gave to his descendants.

After Song An, all children would follow "Chang'an Xile" to be named.

Song Cheng took the eldest grandson and hugged him.

The daughter-in-law said again, "My family got a warm jade from the East China Sea, which can drive away the severe cold. I came to offer it, maybe it can help the third lady."

Song Cheng nodded.

The daughter-in-law hurriedly offered it.

Song Cheng grabbed it and looked at it, and shook it. He knew it in his heart: this is a piece of gold ore with nine patterns of the sun. I don't know how it was mixed with jade, but the fusion is very good. It is considered a top-grade warm jade. Wearing it on the body can indeed drive away evil and avoid cold.

"Where did it come from?"

"My lord, Uncle Changjian is the inspector of the canal in Fengzhou. Recently, he accidentally found something in a dry place between the canal and the East China Sea. I learned about it and was worried about the third lady, so I asked him for it."

Song Cheng was not harsh on his daughter-in-law, especially since she was the mother of his eldest grandson, so he said gently: "You are thoughtful."

The daughter-in-law was flattered and said hurriedly: "But it's good for the third lady."

Song Cheng said: "We can't treat the person who presented the treasure badly. Let's do this. Let him come to the library in my mansion to pick a martial arts method and copy it away."

The daughter-in-law waved her hands and said repeatedly: "My lord, I am not here for benefits."

Song Cheng smiled and said: "I am not giving you martial arts methods for this reason."

After saying that, he thought about it and remembered that the daughter-in-law seemed to be a princess of the Ji family, surnamed Ji and named Youke.

So he said: "Youke, Xiaoan is not here, you have worked hard in the mansion."

Princess Youke chatted with Song Cheng for a few more words, and then left happily.

Song Cheng grabbed the warm jade, but he didn't intend to give it to Xiao Yu'er. The reason was very simple. If he could help Xiao Yu'er relieve the pain by "suppression", he would have done it long ago.

But isn't this kind of "suppression" a kind of harm to the baby?

In this situation now, he can only take it one step at a time.

After more than half a year of walking, the 50,000 troops and 10,000 monsters of Da Shang finally bypassed the Yinyun Miasma.

The young general also began to become calm. While he asked people to draw maps, he explored far away, and a few days later, he saw a city.

Song An did not attack the city, but camped outside and sent envoys into the city for communication.

Before he set off, although he boasted that he would expand the territory for Da Shang, he would not be reckless when the time came.

Sending envoys is for "understanding" and "establishing diplomatic relations".

If the countries here can establish exchanges with the Da Shang Dynasty, then. His trip will not be in vain.

If you encounter trouble, and words don't work, then fight.

In the evening, the person who inquired about the news came back and reported some basic information to Song An.

"General, this place is called Hebai Country, which is a vassal of a big country called Wanling Empire. The accent is not much different from my Leiyunzhou accent, and the gold and silver can also be used for trade."

Song An nodded, sent another envoy, and brought Jiangnan silk, Fengzhou fragrant tea and other specialties, ready to go formally to discuss the "establishment of diplomatic relations", and also sent people to buy food.

Snap.

Snap Snap Snap

The sound of stones rolling down the deep darkness came.

It bounced back and forth between the hard and rugged valley walls for a long time before it fell to the bottom.

"Be careful, Xiaoyuan."

Ating shouted.

"I know, big sister." The lively girl replied, then raised her hand and knocked on the stone wall, saying, "Big sister, the rocks here are very, very hard. I just chopped it with all my strength, but only a little bit of stone chips fell off. There must be treasures here."

On the other side, the voice of a young man named Zhang Ling came.

"Big sister, you and Xiaofeng, Brother Lu, don't move first, wait for Xiaoyuan and I to explore first."

After that, another seemingly weak young man closed his eyes, chanted something, as if chanting a spell, as if visualizing, then held up a ball of wind in his hand, and pointed at the tall and straight young man in the distance.

The tall young man's feet were immediately wrapped in the wind, and his movements became much more flexible.

"Thank you, Xiaofeng." Zhang Ling said, and then followed Xiaoyuan, who was holding the giant knife, to explore the darkness ahead.

A Ting clapped his hands, and a rabbit and a monkey followed the two of them.

She looked at the dark strange cave in front of her, touched the cold and hard rock wall, and suddenly thought of the Yaochi Peak of Jilei Mountain.

The rocks there are also so hard.

There are peaches on the Yaochi Peak.

In the Wanling Empire, experienced adventurers have regarded "ancient ruins in such a hard environment must have treasures" as common sense.

Is there any connection between the two?

The well-behaved A Ting thought about it, and told her distant father and mother in a blink of an eye.

Everything she knows, her father and mother will always know.

Another month passed.

It was also the last day of the year.

The ghost tide in the north broke out unprecedentedly, and in addition to the north, many monsters suddenly crawled out of the canal.

Countless people died.

But Chang Jian's uncle escaped because he came to the Song Palace to copy the skills.

On the same day and at the same time, Su Ningyu was born.

The blood was almost black, and frost was everywhere.

The fire in the house, the lights in the mansion, and the bright fires in the city suddenly went out.

The baby girl crawled out of the ink-colored blood, and her eyes were open at birth. They were a pair of flawless white jade-like eyes.

Unfortunately, the eyes were very dull.

After the baby girl crawled out, she was motionless.

If she was not the daughter of the Song Palace, anyone could see that the baby girl was not only blind, but also a fool.

But

Even if no one dared to say it, it seemed that this reality would not change.

Half a month later, almost the entire imperial capital knew that "Song Mo, the third lady of the Song Palace, was born", but most people would not know even a little about all the information about the third lady.

Because Song Mo was indeed blind and stupid.
