This brings us back to the topic of seeking immortality. This is the fundamental reason why most of the world's immortal techniques come from the Daomen.

Li Xuandu asked tentatively, "I don't know what kind of method the national teacher cultivates in order to achieve immortality?"

The national teacher did not mean to hide it, and said: "What I practice is the method of shamanism that has been passed down from generation to generation, and if it is translated into the official language of the Central Plains, I will call it the 'Fundamental Law of Eternal Life'. ”

Li Xuan didn't wait for the national teacher to ask, and also said: "The method I have cultivated is quite complicated, and the real method that can prove immortality is the 'Taiping Qing Collar Sutra', which is the fundamental method of the Taiping Dao in ancient times. ”

The national teacher nodded, did not ask deeply, and said: "I encountered a problem in the process of renewing the life of the old Khan, that is, the pure martial arts mentioned by the envoy just now, the pure martial arts feed on flesh and blood to strengthen their own vitality, and I inject the vitality of others into the body of the old Khan through the means of blood sacrifice, the two are actually the same reason, but there is a big problem with this practice. ”

Li Xuandu immediately understood, and said, "It's about to reach the limit." ”

"Exactly. The national teacher nodded and said, "The body of a pure martial artist is like a vessel, he absorbs the life force and digests it, and then nourishes his soul and body, expands the capacity of the vessel, so that it can hold more life force, and so on, towards immortality." But the old Khan does not have the ability to digest this container, so it cannot be expanded, the current dilemma is that the life force that the old Khan can hold is about to reach the limit, the old Khan can only absorb a very small part of it, although the surface vitality is strong, but the source of life is still depleting at a slow speed. If there is no accident, it will be difficult for the old Khan to escape the fate of death, and after his death, the corpse will be immortal because of the huge vitality. ”

Li Xuandu fell into deep thought. The "leakage and exhaustion" he learned is actually the way of longevity, but there is also a key, it must be supported by profound cultivation, and it cannot be used by outsiders. In fact, this is the same as the "Five Qi True Pill" and "Five Poison True Pill", these pills can help people cultivate for a thousand miles, provided that their own capacity is large enough, otherwise there is a possibility that the meridians will burst, so they can usually only be used to restore cultivation, which is the same as the dilemma encountered by the national teacher.

Li Xuandu shook his head: "It's unimaginable, there is a legend that there is an elixir that washes the meridians and cuts the marrow, which changes the qualifications of people's roots and bones, but it is extremely precious, even the emperor can not find it." Even if there is this elixir, at the age of Lao Khan, it is too late. ”

The national teacher did not have too much disappointment on his face, and said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, it is not human power that can change. This is also the law of the Heavenly Dao, although I have obtained the so-called immortal realm, but I am still a mortal in essence, how can I change the will of heaven and earth?"

Li Xuan didn't speak, and secretly thought in his heart: "The national teacher."

What is the purpose of the news that the old Khan is dying soon? Is it unintentional? Or is it something else?"

At this moment, the national teacher said again: "Now the old Khan doesn't know the news, he thinks that he has at least a few years to live, but in fact, he may not be able to last this year, at most twelve months." For this, the Golden Horde had to pay the price of tens of thousands of lives. I remember that the Great Wei is now 60 million people, and the number of people in the Golden Tent is even smaller, less than 10 million, and the envoy thinks that it is worth exchanging tens of thousands of people for twelve months?"

Li Xuandu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the shock and anger in his heart, and said: "For the emperor, it is naturally worth it, but for those innocent people who died, it is not worth half a cent. ”

The national teacher smiled, "I think so too." ”

Li Xuandu was shocked again and looked at the national teacher.

The national teacher had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were deep, so that people couldn't see what he really thought in his heart.

Li Xuandu was about to speak, but the national teacher waved his hand and said, "Thank you for answering my questions, I'm tired, please go back to the messenger." ”

How can an immortal earth immortal be tired? It's just an excuse, Li Xuan can't do it, so he can only get up and say goodbye.

Leaving the stone room where the national teacher was, it was still the short shaman who led Li Xuandu outward.

......

After the feast of the little clan, the kings dispersed.

As the host, Xiao Yan could not return to the dormitory to rest until all the guests had left. Her dormitory is spacious and gorgeous. Unlike the old Khan, who preferred gold, Xiao Yan preferred jade, so her bedroom was paved with green jade, the dome was inlaid with jade with star patterns, and the other decorations were also extremely luxurious and dazzling.

In the deepest part of the dormitory, there is a three-tiered circular platform, resembling a throne, with scarlet curtains hanging from the dome to the ground, enveloping the entire platform. Above the round table is a round bed covered with soft fur. Xiao Yan lay on it recliningly, supporting his forehead with his hands, his sleeves slid down, revealing his snow-white wrists, and on his slender neck was a necklace that shone with a little fluorescence, and the pendant hung down into the deep furrow on his chest.

Several maids stood at the bottom of the steps, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

An attendant knelt down at the foot of the steps, bowed his head and said, "Qi Yu Yan, the envoy of the Central Plains has gone to see the national teacher. ”

Xiao Yan's pastoral view flashed slightly, and asked, "Why does the national teacher want to see the envoy? Is that what the old Khan meant?"

The chamberlain whispered, "It is said that it is a request from the national teacher, not an order from the old khan. As for why the national teacher wanted to see the envoy of the Central Plains, please forgive the sin, it is not for the villain to know. ”

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment, and then ordered, "Feng Niang."

and rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold. ”

One of the waitresses stood in the ranks, holding a wooden box that had already been prepared.

The attendant immediately kowtowed and said, "Xie Yan's reward." ”

With that, the chamberlain got up and took the wooden box and slowly withdrew from the place.

After a while, Xiao Yan suddenly got up, lifted the curtain, walked down the steps, came to the apse of the dormitory, stretched out his hand to turn a palace lamp, and then saw that several pieces of jade inlaid on the wall suddenly lit up, and these lights were intertwined into an illusory portal, which rippled like water waves, which could vaguely reflect Xiao Yan's gorgeous face.

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, passed through this light curtain, and entered the portal.

The next moment, she appeared in an equally richly decorated stone room, which had a splendid bed and a dressing table screen, but there were no doors or windows around her, and it was a little oppressive and dim.

Obviously, this is a secret room built underground, and it can only be entered by some kind of magic, which is very secret and safe.

Xiao Yan walked to the dressing table and sat down slowly, and said to himself: "The national teacher summoned the envoy of the Central Plains, what do you say this old fox has in mind?"

"The national teacher is cunning and cunning, and he talks about the way of heaven on the surface, pretending to be indisputable with the world, but in fact he has a great plan. A voice suddenly sounded behind Xiao Yan's back, slightly hoarse, and magnetic, but he couldn't distinguish between male and female, and he didn't have any respect for Xiao Yan's, as if it was a close friend in the boudoir chatting.

"Does Old Khan know?" asked Xiao Yan again.

"Of course the old Khan knows, but the old Khan is about to run out of life, and he has no way out, so he can only choose to believe in the national teacher unconditionally, so what's the difference between knowing and not knowing?" the voice replied.

Xiao Yan turned around suddenly, and it could be seen that there was a figure standing behind her, dressed in purple, with a purple veil on her face, which made people unable to see her true face, but the eyes exposed outside the veil were extremely moving, and the eye waves flowed, as if they were full of autumn water, and they were shrouded in a faint purple mist.

Xiao Yan asked, "What do we want?"

The man in purple said indifferently: "Do nothing, wait and see." ”

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and said: "But the old Khan has already determined the candidate for the new Khan, can we just watch it?"

The woman in purple walked up to Xiao Yan's side, reached out and stroked her face, and her fingertips touched the snow-white skin, making Xiao Yan's body tremble slightly.

The woman sighed, "You are always so anxious, there is a sentence in the Central Plains, called the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, we just need to leak this news to the Da Yan clan, she will take action, we just need to watch the show." ”

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.
