Heavenly Dao Formula

In the dormitory of Fengyang Villa, Xia Fan was sitting on the heated kang, talking about his return journey in the second half month.

Ning Wanjun took off her shoes, socks and fur robe, and lay on her side opposite Xia Fan, eating the dates that Qiuyue had just washed, while listening to him tell the stories one by one. Especially after hearing that they rescued Qing Jian at a huge risk, and then rode a giant dragon to break through the barriers of the Privy Council, even the last bit of dissatisfaction in their eyes disappeared without a trace.

"But what kind of spell is that? Could it be that you have comprehended a new alchemy based on the thunder spell?" When she heard the rise, the princess couldn't help but sat up straight.

"Actually, it's thundering with multiple shock techniques at the same time, but I didn't expect its momentum to be so shocking that it could even trigger a phenomenon of heaven and earth." Xia Fan said frankly.

"Hmm... this should be a new discovery." Ning Wanjun pondered for a while, "Lightning wood is too expensive, no one would throw it like a stone. Besides, even if it is a common medicine, the alchemy is more precise, Meticulous, try to use it once to bring out its maximum effect, I am afraid that you are the first one to do this."

"It's just that its shortcomings are also obvious." Xia Fan smiled, "It consumes all the energy in one spell, and it can't choose the target independently like the streamer spell. It's okay to deal with ordinary soldiers, but if it's a quick-witted alchemist , the effect that can be achieved is very limited.”

"What is this defect?" Ning Wanjun said disapprovingly, "If it can play a decisive role on the battlefield, the army can completely design tactics around this technique. If you were in the frontier army at that time, you would definitely become a frontier army The core characters in the movie."

Having said that, she shook her head and laughed again, "But even so, it's still a bit overkill for your ability. It's a pity that I'm not a genus. I basically read all the books you wrote, but until now I can only read them. It's just to operate the audio device."

Ning Wanjun paused, and changed the subject, "Since Qingjian is willing to leave Shangyuan with you, where is this person now?"

"Aunt Yan disembarked early after entering the border of Shenzhou." Li replied—after talking all the way, she had already agreed that the other party was her mother's friend, "She said that during the last part of the journey, she wanted to walk over."

"Why?" Ning Wanjun asked puzzled, "It's freezing outside, and she was injured, shouldn't she come to Jinxia City to recuperate?"

"That's what I persuaded, but she insisted on it."

"Probably need time to regain my mood." Xia Fan can understand Yan Qing's actions. She has stayed in the Gyeonggi Privy Council for more than 20 years and has fought for the goal of the merger of the six countries for half her life. Now she suddenly leaves After leaving the familiar environment, and the place she is about to go to is Jinxia City, which is destined not to be accommodated by the Privy Council, it is quite normal for her to hesitate.

And according to what Yan Qing said at the time, if he followed them all the way to Jinxia, ​​Xia Fan must have arranged everything that followed - including accommodation, food and clothing, and other necessities. She didn't want to be supported, and her perspective on Jinxia City would also be affected. Since she wanted to visit the city well, she should approach the city as an ordinary person.

"So that's how it is." Ning Wanjun showed a slightly regretful expression, "I thought Jinxia would have an extra green sword. Are you sure she will come here in the end?"

"If the scenery along the way won't disappoint her." Xia Fan has full confidence in this, "Besides, Yan Qing made a magic weapon for Li before saying goodbye. As long as Li needs her help, She will rush to Li's side as soon as possible."

Of course, that's not what the other party said.

To Xia Fan's ears, Yan Qing was clearly admonishing himself.

For example, if Li is treated unfairly and feels that Xia Fan's temperament has changed drastically, he can crush the magic weapon, then Yan Qing will take Li Yuan away.

Ning Wanjun lay down on her side again holding a jujube, and at the same time exposed her feet from a section of the quilt, "I didn't expect the collapse of the Yongguo, the reorganization of the Seven Stars, and the overseas envoys were all related to the Gate of Heaven, and the news could still be blocked after a hundred years It seems that this door is really important. Do you think it is necessary for us to look for its clues?"

"There is always too much information," Xia Fan pretended not to see it, "but it is not worth devoting energy to it. And I have always doubted the door that the Privy Council said. In their description, this The door is almost omnipotent, as if you can see it, you can fulfill all your wishes. And King Yong has actually touched the door—even if it is a black door, it should bring about some special changes. But the result is that King Yong If you die, the dynasty will fall."

"What do you think they're hiding?"

"I'm more inclined that they themselves don't know much about the door. What we know so far is that clues to the Gate of Heaven's Dao not only appear in the six countries, but there are also many rumors overseas, but they are called differently. This has proved that as long as you are sensitive Those who have access to it may have access to it.”

Xia Fan analyzed, "Since this thing exists, it must be of great significance, but it is not to the point where it can easily turn the world around. Instead of putting all your hopes on the gate of heaven, it is better to focus on the present and do what you can do .”

"You are quite rational." Ning Wanjun glanced at him with interest, "But I can also understand that King Yong wants to see the door again at all costs."

"Why?"

"At his level, there is no lack of power or strength, and there is only one thing left." The princess curled her cardamom-like toes, ""Longevity". And this can be regarded as the ultimate pursuit of the emperor, and it can never be achieved by conventional means. "

"Instead of relying on the door to live forever, it's better to rely on yourself." Xia Fan curled his lips.

"Wait," Ning Wanjun was stunned for a moment, "Don't tell me, you still know the law of longevity."

"I do understand a little bit. Let's put it this way, it's not as difficult as the world thinks." He replied bluntly that the reason why people age is because oxidation is constantly eroding the cells and tissues in the body. This is a dilemma made by life during evolution. Anaerobic is not bad, but the energy obtained is limited; aerobic is vulnerable, but the energy conversion efficiency is greatly improved. In the end, the latter takes advantage of energy and takes a complex and large-scale attitude. , standing at the top of the biological chain.

But this does not mean that aerobic organisms cannot live forever. As long as those damaged cells can be replaced in time, people can live forever. It's just that this function is blocked by a series of factors, so that most of the somatic cells will cease to be active after dividing 50 or 60 times, and the appearance is irreversible aging.

As for those cells that have gained unlimited division ability because they are out of control, they are called cancers.

In other words, maintaining the constant renewal of the body is not contrary to any natural law or law, and in some cases it can even be achieved without external forces. What really limits it is life itself - the immutability of an individual means rigidity, and in order to maintain the evolution and vitality of the group, life puts a lock on itself.

It is by no means an easy task to open this lock by purely technical means, but relying on spells is different. At least in principle, it is much more intuitive than the dry technique of endowing life or the fairy technique of dragon scales. The living dead of the Fang family have essentially opened the lock of renewal.

In the past, Xia Fan always heard that all kinds of Taoism only seek longevity, but compared to those magical spells that fly to the sky and escape from the ground, longevity seems simple and unpretentious.
