Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 243 Ten years of experience, people are different

Let's not mention the name of the exercise.

After three years of hard training in martial arts, three years of studying the bones of witches' blood, and four years in the deserted mountains and dense forests, Gu Dan finally integrated a set of blood circulation that he was most satisfied with. The method of fighting.

This is definitely the most suitable exercise in the world for his own strength, and it is more than a step above top-grade martial arts, and it is truly tailor-made.

For an ordinary master to create a high-grade martial art, the time required will probably never be less than ten years.

It's just that Gu Dan's strength has already been promoted to a grand master, and he has read a lot of books. With a high-level view, it takes less time.

At this time, the immortal returned, and Gu Dan asked himself that he had enough power to protect himself.

Unless you are so unlucky that you run into an existence at the level of Jindan and Yuanying, you should have no worries about your life!

According to Qing Pingzi's cognition of the realm of immortality, the existence of Jindan and Yuanying level is by no means a generation that can be encountered casually in immortality.

If the immortal way is also used as a metaphor for the mortal world, the existence of that level, the status can probably be converted to the martial arts master in the mortal world, most people just heard about it, and have no chance to see it.

As for the upper level?
That is no different from the legend.

Don't think that Grandmaster is amiable and easy to talk in front of Gu Dan, why don't you try another ordinary warrior?

Gu Dan thought to himself that his luck was not that unlucky yet, it was enough to prevent the boat from capsizing in the gutter.

"The exercises are almost perfect, it's time to go back."

Gu Dan got up from the ground.

After four years of silent cultivation in the wilderness, he still looks clean, his body is spotless, his face is fair, and his body is flawless.Even the clothes have the shining eyes of the moon, and they look like immortals exiled from the world of mortals, without being stained by dust.

With the steady improvement of strength, many troubles in the mortal world seem to be gradually disappearing unconsciously.

"It's time to go back and take a look. It's been nearly ten years since I left."

There is no time in the mountains, and the year is unknown in the cold.

Gu Dan was also a little emotional.

In the past ten years, I don't know how the world has changed now?
Xia Dynasty, Yuzhou.

Today is the 20th year of the Xia Dynasty.

It has been 20 years since the source river broke its embankment!

The baby born at that time may have become the father of the child at this time, which is already a generation.

Gu Dan didn't go back to his small courtyard directly, but came to Yuzhou first.

After the Yuanyuan River broke its embankment, the floods overflowed and the mud and sand fell, and the damage caused was unimaginable.

But fortunately among the misfortunes, the war ended soon, and the damage caused by the flood was not long before manpower was organized to rescue.

Now 20 years have passed, but the disaster caused by the man-made disaster has not been completely eliminated. After 20 years of revisiting the old place, Gu Dan can see the changes in the landform visible to the naked eye.

In addition, the greater impact is that many fertile and good fields can no longer be cultivated, resulting in large areas of arable land being blank.

These things can only wait for a longer time to slowly eliminate their influence.

But the rest of the changes are finally able to make people happy.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the street, this is just an ordinary small town, but you can still see many pedestrians along the way, occasionally mixed with business travelers hawking.

Gu Dan glanced over, and he could no longer see anyone with a disheveled face.

I couldn't help but feel a little relieved in my heart.

The Xia Dynasty never gave up on Yuzhou. Even if it encountered a terrible man-made disaster, after Wang Mang came to power, he kept sending people to send food and supplies, and he must be rescued.

After Xun Ke grew up, he was even thrown to Yuzhou as the chief envoy, which can show his determination.

Disasters are merciless, but people are merciful.

The reconstruction after the disaster is also very appropriate.

Gu Dan was wearing a green shirt, and used the disguise technique to change his face, covering up his overly outstanding features, walking in the bustling crowd of people, among them.

After observing silently for a while, I saw an old man walking towards the village, holding a shovel and humming a song, with a contented expression.

"Old man."

Gu Dan stepped forward in three steps and made two steps forward, and asked, "May I ask if this is Akino Village?"

The old man looked at Gu Dan for a moment, and saw that although his appearance was ordinary, he had an aura that ordinary people couldn't match, so he stopped and said, "Akino Village? That's the name from decades ago. Now our place is called Ping'an Town."

"Ping An Town?"

"Yes!"

The old man nodded, put the shovel directly on the ground, leaned half of him on it, and chatted, "Just a few decades ago, there was a flood! Many people were swept away, and people in ten miles and eight villages disappeared. What's the use of having so many villages? It's not a big deal when the officials think about it, there are only a few people in a village, so we can't get it done, so we reorganized it for us."

Hearing the other party's strong local accent, Gu Dan nodded lightly and said, "I see."

It is also common to change the name of folk villages, but most of them have reasons, which are not difficult to understand.

"I don't think you're like an ordinary person, have you come back after being well-off outside?"

The old man looked at Gu Dan familiarly. Although Gu Dan's disguise technique is excellent, the other party can't find his face is flawed, but his skin is fair and clear, which is naturally different from the farmer who faces the loess and his back to the sky. Come on, you can tell at a glance that you are definitely not a farmer.

"Almost."

Gu Dan thought for a while, then nodded and smiled.

"Come on, let's go to my house to rest for a while. If you want to find someone, I'm afraid it will be hard to find someone."

The old man said quite familiarly.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

There is nothing wrong with taking care of yourself.

"Don't drag the text, don't drag the text, speak well, I haven't read the book when you say this, so I don't understand."

The old man waved his hands again and again.

"Haha."

Gu Dan laughed, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

After getting along with familiar people for a long time, it is probably the so-called no-nonsense relationship, and some habits have been contaminated without knowing it.

Following in the footsteps of the old man, we came to a home that seemed to be fairly well-to-do, only to hear the old man yelling loudly: "Old lady, there is a visitor, order white noodles to eat!"

"Eh."

A woman walked out of the room, glanced at Gu Dan, didn't ask any further questions, simply said, "Zhong."

The old man casually put the shovel under the eaves, walked to a water tank in the yard, opened the lid, and took out a watermelon from inside.

"Hey, that's too polite."

Gu Dan was also moved by this enthusiasm, and said quickly.

"Why are you being polite to me? Since you came to my village, maybe our two families were the same generation decades ago."

The old man cut the watermelon open with a knife, and found two small horses, "Come and eat."

Seeing this, Gu Dan was no longer polite, took the red melon flesh from his hand, and sipped it, the juice was overflowing, sweet and sweet with a hint of coolness, making people feel comfortable in summer.

After working in the field for a long time, the sweaty old man even ate a piece of melon in three or two mouthfuls. He casually wiped away the remaining watermelon water from his mouth, and said with emotion: "These days are different. Decades ago How have you ever eaten such a good thing!"

"Oh? Where did this thing come from?"

Gu Dan also asked curiously.

"The caravan is doing it, and it's doing it from abroad."

Of course, the old man couldn’t remember clearly, but when he mentioned the caravan, he immediately expressed emotion: “These days are getting better, everyone doesn’t want to do farm work, and wants to follow the merchants all day long. There are so many people. Don’t tell me, it’s really good. Let’s get some good things, this watermelon is all from outside, and there are other messy things, but they are too expensive, and I can’t bear to buy them. This thing is cheap and delicious, and I can grow it at home. It’s a good thing!”

Of course, this world is more than just a Xia Dynasty, and there are not only Daqi, Dayong, Daqing, Dayue and other countries.

In fact, how big this world is, so far no one has given an accurate number.

But for the vast majority of people who may not even leave the homeland of their birth several times in their lifetime, those existences are all things far away, and they don’t even need to remember their names. foreign or abroad.

And with the prosperity of the Xia Dynasty, of course, it was not only the trade with the four countries, but more courageous people had begun to rush to further countries, bringing things that they didn't have at home.

The prosperity of a country is bound to be in every aspect, and it can be vaguely seen at a glance.

There is a big difference between Xia Dynasty and Dayue, it's definitely not just a change of name or a change of royal family.

"Life changed for the better?"

Gu Dan asked.

"It's much better!"

The old man nodded repeatedly, looked at Gu Dan's face, and said, "Look at you, you're not too old, right? I'm going to be fifty soon! Decades ago, how could I have imagined that I would be able to live a life like this?" ?”

As he said that, he looked sad.

And Gu Dan looked at the old man's cheek with some inexplicable expression.

At the age of fifty, he is already full of old age and wrinkles. Fortunately, he is still in good health and can still work in the fields.

And Gu Dan's real age is already over 50 years old, even "older" than the "old man" in front of him.

"It's a good time, ye!"

The old man patted his legs, spit and stared, "At that time, I couldn't even eat a decent meal, let alone a meal, the wild vegetables were all planed, and the bark was stripped off! How can I compare with now, three days You can still eat white noodles, and taste the taste of meat in a month!"

He was clearly talking about bad memories, but the old man's face was full of joy and pride, as if he was talking about something remarkable.

For the changes in the mortal world, Gu Dan may not have much perception.

Because he himself has broken away from that level.

In other words, he was lucky, and he didn't suffer too much from the beginning to the end.

But as long as you go to the folks, you will always see them.

Unlike staying in the small courtyard before, even if you don't go out, all kinds of man-made disasters will come into your eyes. Life in the mortal world is indeed getting better.

Even if this kind of improvement is not enough for Gu Dan who has seen the real prosperity of the world, but for these ordinary people who are used to suffering and disasters, the world in front of them is what they can only wish for.

"Then are you happy?"

Gu Dan asked a rather classic question.

"Happiness? If you can eat and drink, you will be happy."

The old man was also straightforward, "Honey, you haven't said who you are looking for. That is to say, you met me. In this Ping'an Town, there were people from ten miles and eight villages at the beginning, and some people moved from other places. Ask me Others can't do it well."

"I want to find an old lady, of course she should be gone."

Gu Dan thought for a while and said, "She is called Aunt Cheng, her husband is called Ding Cheng, and her child is called Sheng'er. When Bai Lian taught cholera in Yuzhou, the whole family ran to the mountains, and except her, everyone was killed. The mushroom soup was poisoned to death, only she was not willing to drink the soup, but survived.

Later, there was a flood and I lost contact. When I remembered this, I came back to take a look. "

In order to make it clear, Gu Dan explained the cause and effect very clearly.

What happened to Aunt Cheng seemed to be unique even in a world full of suffering. If you use this clue to find it, you should be able to find it.

However, it has been 20 years since then, even if Aunt Cheng has lived in peace, she will probably have passed away by this time.

Gu Dan came here to explain the past and give himself an explanation.

Those tragedies I have witnessed must have an end.

He sincerely hopes that even if those people have not experienced the scene of peace and prosperity, they can still feel the dawn of it.

"Aunt Cheng?!"

Sure enough, after Gu Dan spoke in such detail, the old man raised his eyebrows and raised his voice seven or eight degrees.

Obviously, he must know this person.

"Yes."

Gu Dan nodded again and again, and asked cautiously: "What happened to her after that?"

The old man put the melon down, his eyebrows drooped, but he said flatly: "Dead."

"."

Gu Dan didn't speak.

Twenty years have passed, and at Aunt Cheng's age, even if she lives in peace, it will be difficult to live until now. Naturally, he can't hope to see a real person, but just looking at the old man's expression, I'm afraid this is not something worth living. comforting thing.

"During the flood, many of us ran to the mountain, and Aunt Cheng was there. The flood flooded, and Aunt Cheng insisted on going down the mountain to go home. How could she survive? Several people stopped her, and she Catch and bite, and in the end she can only be tied to a tree."

The old man lowered his face, and his voice gradually became a little deeper. Unpleasant memories flooded his mind, "The water finally receded, and the village was buried in sand, so I couldn't go back. Fortunately, soldiers came and built houses. , build roads, distribute food. Aunt Cheng went crazy again, throwing stones at those soldiers
That is to say, it was my own people who were in charge at that time, and sent someone to watch her and give her food.When no one was watching the next day, Aunt Cheng jumped into the river by herself. "

Plain, ordinary.

A peasant woman who has gone mad, even to death.

Gu Dan didn't speak for a long time.

The old man also lost his interest in talking, and cursed, "War in a dog's day!"

Fortunately, this atmosphere did not last long.

"Let's eat!"

In the kitchen, the old woman yelled angrily and pulled the two of them back.

"Walk around, eat, good days are ahead!"

The old man patted Gu Dan on the shoulder, actually comforting Gu Dan.
