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

Chapter 288 Race to Wither
Wang Mang's face was full of eagerness, his heart fluctuated violently, and he was out of breath.

"Don't worry."

Gu Dan seemed to have expected it, "We'll go there now."

He stretched out his hand to grab Wang Mang, and the next moment, there was a huge roar in the air, and the two disappeared in place almost like a stream of light.

Xia Dynasty Palace.

On a bed with raised curtains, Xu Wanrong's breath was vain and drowsy.

As a martial artist who has completed visceral training and blood barriers, her qi and blood seem rather weak, and her whole body exudes an aura of decay.

When Gu Dan brought Wang Mang here, Xu Wanrong heard the movement, opened her eyes slightly, and said weakly, "I met Mr. Gu."

"You're welcome."

Gu Dan lifted the curtain and looked at the surprisingly pale Xu Wanrong.

The beautiful and slender white lotus maiden back then is no longer seen, but now lying on the bed is an old woman with white hair all over her head.

The face that was enough to make Mingyue pale in the past is not considered old, but there are a few wrinkles left on the face, which have been lingering for a long time.

Back then, Gu Dan destroyed the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce, and all the treasures of the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce fell into the Xia Dynasty.

Among them was a rare treasure called Shengyan Flower, which Xu Wanrong had no doubt used.

But Sheng Yanhua is not really eternal youth, returning to the appearance of 30 years, after all, is not the longevity of 30 years.

Even if it is pushed back 30 years, Xu Wanrong's appearance is more than 50 years old, which is enough to be called an old woman in this era.

White hair is added to the blue silk, and the delicate face is not left behind.

In the face of time, it's the same whether it's a grand master or a master.

The most tragic and fairest thing in the world is this.

This time, Xu Wanrong didn't cover her face with her sleeves.

She looked at Gu Dan in surprise, especially Gu Dan's hair, which was mostly graying, and asked in a little surprise: "Mr. Gu, are you also the youngest?"

Gu Dan was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, is there anyone in this world who is not old?"

"So you're getting old too"

Xu Wanrong muttered to herself, her expression was inexplicable, she didn't know whether it was happiness or sadness, and she couldn't say anything.

In the Xia Dynasty, this country was still developing with each passing day, and it was even very young.

But those who founded the Xia Dynasty together could not escape the clutches of time after all.

Gu Dan sent off Xu Zhian and Gong Shangguo, but this time, the burden of time fell on Xu Wanrong.

In terms of the degree of acquaintance, in fact, he and Xu Wanrong have no friendship at all.

After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, Xu Wanrong was canonized as a queen, and she lived in seclusion in the harem.

Facts have proved that not all queens can be as wanton as Lin Xiaoyi, and Xia Dynasty is not Da Yue.

Xu Wanrong doesn't have much friendship with the people in Gu's small courtyard, and after all, she is a woman and has the status of a queen. In this era, it is not appropriate to get too close.

And Xu Wanrong has also become Wang Mang's good helper, at least Wang Mang has never been worried about the affairs of the harem.

In front of the bed, there is another person.

She was holding Xu Wanrong's hand, her eyes were full of reluctance, "Mother, Mr. Gu is here, you will definitely get better."

He is the child of Wang Mang and Xu Wanrong.

He was born in the year when the Xia Dynasty was established, and he was a real prince for 50 years.

It's just that Gu Dan is not familiar with him, and has never even met him except when he was very young.

Not only him, but even the children of Xun Ke and Xiaoying, and even Cang's heirs, Gu Dan treated them equally.

Most of the time, he has actually kept himself out of the Xia Dynasty.

The great master couldn't stop the torrent of time, he was in the middle of the game before, he couldn't help himself, he was not a heartless person after all, he couldn't slap his ass and walk away.

Now that Gu Dan chooses to distance himself from the next generation, he has already expressed his attitude.

It was precisely because of this that Wang Mang thought that Gu Dan was going to leave when the news of Buzhou Mountain Range came.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature."

A smile appeared on Xu Wanrong's face, and she turned to comfort her child, "Even Mr. Gu can't avoid aging if he is strong, and a sage like Mozi can't avoid accidents, so what can mother do?"

Wang Mang clenched his teeth, and without saying a word, he just looked at Gu Dan expectantly. He hoped, he hoped so much, that Gu Dan, whom he regarded as his savior, could help him again.

Just like when they swept away the Grand Master of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations.

Gu Dan didn't say anything, just waved his palm lightly.

A layer of soft emerald green light shrouded Xu Wanrong's body like a gauze.

Xu Wanrong's face turned slightly rosy, and her eyelids blinked.

"Wang Lang, I'm a little sleepy."

She said.

"Then rest first, rest first."

Wang Mang said hastily.

"Don't wait here, state affairs are important."

Xu Wanrong's eyes had been closed, only a few faint voices could be heard.

"well."

Two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of his eyes, Wang Mang covered his cheeks with his palms, his eyes were flushed.

Xu Wanrong has a different meaning to him.

Back then when he rushed to Yuzhou, the poor boy saved the life of the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus, so he took root in the White Lotus Sect, and because of various chances and coincidences, they actually got together.

It was also because of Xu Wanrong that Wang Mang had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation in the White Lotus Sect and successfully manage a church. With his men and brothers, he had the opportunity to display his talents.

Xu Wanrong is not only his wife, but also his bole.

All of this is very similar to the story about the protagonist in a storybook novel.

But, as we all know.

All stories must have a corresponding ending.

Even if they are both viscera practitioners, it doesn't mean that they will die in the same year, the same month, and the same day.

When he was still considered healthy, Xu Wanrong couldn't hold on any longer.

The couple who have been together day and night for most of their lives lie down on the bed like this, and may never wake up again. I am afraid that only I can feel this sadness.

"Let her rest, don't make noise."

Gu Dan said softly.

They left the room.

Wang Mang squatted in front of the steps without any image, covering his face with his hands, "Brother Gu, is there really no other way?"

"."

Silence is the best answer.

No way.

Gu Dan has the Aoki Transformation Technique, and has the most top medical skills in the world.

But there has never been any medical records on how to cure aging itself.

Even in the Buzhou Mountains, there has never been heard of any rare fruit that prolongs life—shouyuan is far more precious than ordinary people think.

Otherwise, how could the supreme pursuit of immortality be immortality?

The two sat outside quietly, neither of them talking anymore.

Gu Dan and Xu Wanrong are not familiar, so in fact there is not so much sadness, but Wang Mang's experience today, he has also "empathized".

Death means parting.

Means never to be seen again.

It means that everything in the past can only be read in memory.

He couldn't cure Xu Wanrong, just like he couldn't cure Xu Zhian and Gongshang Guo. In this world, there is only death, which is extremely cruel and merciless.

He can only make them a little more comfortable before they die, and they don't have to carry a heavy body to leave this world.

This is the only place Gu Dan can help.

In the 50th year of the Xia Dynasty, Xu Wanrong passed away.

Wang Mang was seriously ill, Gu Dan diagnosed and treated him.

Heart disease, no cure.

When his physical condition improved slightly, Wang Mang immediately devoted himself to state affairs.

He seems to have regained the energy of his youth, often reading memorials all night long.

It seems that only between the extremely busy official duties can we forget some unspeakable pains.

Or maybe, he just wanted to get closer to her and not let her go too far.

Xun Ke had approached Gu Dan several times because of this incident, hoping that Gu Dan would enlighten Wang Mang.

However, even Gu Dan can't do anything.

Doctors have the opportunity to diagnose and treat injuries that can be cured.

No matter how good medical skills are, there are always times when they are weak.

The Xia Dynasty was 52 years old.

After two years of almost continuous fatigue, Wang Mang finally collapsed on the bed.

This is supported by the foundation of visceral training, otherwise, I am afraid that he would have vomited blood for three liters long ago.

"Brother Gu."

On the bed, Wang Mang looked at Gu Dan who had a rather dark complexion, and even smiled at him.

"you"

Gu Dan wanted to reprimand him, but stopped when he got to his lips, and just said, "Why bother?"

If Wang Mang hadn't been so exhausted, he would definitely be able to live for a few more years.

"People are inherently mortal. A few years ago, I felt that my body was not as good as before."

Wang Mang avoided answering, "I don't have any regrets anymore. I have almost got all the experiences in the world. Now I want to see what death looks like and whether it is really so terrible. Is it in line with Buddhism? As I said, there is a paradise after death, and those who have meritorious deeds in life will meet there."

Wang Mang stared at Gu Dan, and asked expectantly: "Brother Gu, tell me, is there a Paradise of Bliss?"

Gu Dan is the strongest person he knows, and he has always placed great trust in Gu Dan.

If even Gu Dan thinks that the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss does not exist, then probably it really does not exist, right?

"Everything in the world is extremely mysterious, a world of bliss."

Gu Dan hesitated for a moment, looked at Wang Mang's expectant eyes, and finally said: "Maybe it exists."

"That's good."

Wang Mang breathed a sigh of relief, "I've been on the throne for so long, I'm getting tired of sitting on it."

Gu Dan smiled, Wang Mang was really right.

If you just want to be a foolish king, then of course you want to enjoy yourself in time and do whatever you want, why do you care about the world?It's enough to be happy.

But if one wants to be a sage king or a wise lord, it is true that a lifetime of painstaking efforts may not necessarily result in a good reputation.

Fortunately, Wang Mang's talent is not bad, and he also has a group of reliable people to help each other. If someone mentions him in the future, he should be one of the models of the sage king and the master.

"If you are frustrated, you should say less."

After smiling, Gu Dan scolded him with a straight face.

But there are some things, it's not that there is no problem if you don't talk about it.

The Xia Dynasty was 53 years old.

Wang Mang fell on the bed again.

But this time, it was even difficult for him to get up again.

When Gu Dan passed by, a maid was serving Wang Mang to drink water.

Wang Mang is very old.

He didn't take Shengyanhua, his old face had already taken root and sprouted on his face, and he grew vigorously. His hair that had lost much luster was well taken care of, and he could be regarded as a bit energetic.

"You go out."

Gu Dan waved away the maid, looked at the little water stains on the side of Wang Mang's white beard, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why, you have to leak some drinking water?"

He stretched out his sleeve and wiped away the water stains for Wang Mang.

"It's not good if you don't accept it."

Wang Mang, who was leaning on the bed, sighed first, but recovered in an instant.

"Brother Gu, I'm leaving."

When he said these words, Wang Mang was very serious, without any appearance of joking, but his tone was very calm, and there was no wave in the ancient well.

Perhaps because of his high martial arts skills, he has a good perception in this regard.

The body he had had since birth finally began to complain.

He could feel that his body was constantly protesting, and his tired body was always urging him to sleep quickly.

Those things that have never been felt in the past come at this moment.

The body is tired, the consciousness sinks, and he is unwilling to speak or move.

He sensed that it was the breath of death.

"What nonsense."

Gu Dan covered him with a thin blanket, "I haven't agreed yet."

"Brother Gu, are you used to it?"

Wang Mang said: "One person, one by one. In fact, they are all the same, but the names are different. I am luckier than you in this respect, so I don't have to stay at the end."

Speaking of this, Wang Mang laughed, "I also have something better than the great master."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Gu Dan raised his eyebrows, "It's time to clean up, right?"

"I can't clean it up."

Wang Mang lay on the bed, motionless, "Fortunately, I didn't leave a mess for everyone. Even if I see them, I can have an explanation."

Facing death, Wang Mang was very calm.

On the day Xu Wanrong left, Wang Mang already understood that death was approaching quietly, in the seemingly slow passage of time.

What is the purpose of life?

Perhaps, just for a name.

In order to imprint the name on future generations, imprint it in the hearts of the common people in the world, and prove that I have been here and existed.

Many people can't do this. They were not well known in life, and they are as unknown as autumn grass after death.

He was lucky to meet Gu Dan.

He was very lucky to meet Xu Wanrong.

He was lucky to have everything after that.

He has already accomplished what he wanted to do, and he doesn't have too many thoughts left in the world.

I just want to spend some time with my spouse and see those old friends who have been away for a long time.

Jiangshan Sheji has been carried on his back for too long, and it is far from easy as he thought.

Fortunately, he handed over a self-satisfied answer sheet.

"Brother Gu, I have done what I promised you back then."

I don't know what I thought of, Wang Mang said suddenly.

"Ok?"

"The hungry get food, the cold get clothes, and the tired get rest."

Wang Mang asked, "I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
