Gou asks for longevity in another world

Chapter 22
Gou has lived in the mountains for 20 years, and when he came out again...

"Things are right and people are wrong."

Gu Changsheng returned to this small southwest city wearing the clothes he left.

The two strands of hair on the sideburns have turned slightly white.

There were also a few wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were still as bright as before.

Of course, these false appearances of getting old are all pretended by him.

Gu's Lao Fang, who has studied painstakingly for 20 years, is so awesome!
He walked slowly down the slightly empty long street.

Along the way, I didn't see a single acquaintance from back then.

There have been successive wars and wars in this world for many years.It can't be said that ten rooms are empty, but it also caused the overall population of Chu State to drop by more than half.

Many places are even completely empty!

Ten miles, hundreds of miles, there is no smoke.

Yuzhou City was relatively early because it fell under King Xuan's control.

So, it's pretty lucky.

It is already the Great Chu of the former dynasty, and the country has a total of 470 seven years.

It began with Gaozu and ended with Emperor Anping.

Up to now, it has been dead for 16 years.

It has not been a year since Daxuan pacified the troubled times, and the world is still waiting for prosperity.

Daxuan is the name of the new dynasty that replaced Chu.

The so-called Daxuan refers to King Xuan, whose predecessor was the Purple Scarf Army who resolutely rebelled in Yunchen Erzhou and sounded the death knell for Chu State.

To punish the violent Chu, to defeat Wudao!
No one thought that the fourteen prefectures of Chu State would be the world.

In the end, it would actually belong to King Xuan.

Of course, people are now called Emperor Xuan!
After the death of the future, he can be called Xuan Taizu, the founding emperor of a generation.

Gu Changsheng walked through the familiar long street, and soon came to the end of the street.

"this is my house?"

He looked at the broken wall in front of him, as if it had been violently dismantled, there was nothing but a foundation.

Where can I find out what a bookstore looked like back then?

"This is not my house, my house is definitely not so flat!"

The corner of Gu Changsheng's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a while.

He has only been out for a few years, how did he become like this?

However, it seems quite normal to become like this.

Gu Changsheng squatted down, reached out and picked up a brick from the foundation.

There are smoky marks on the stone.

Obviously, his house should have been burned by fire.

Gu Changsheng quickly made up a lot of pictures in his brain.

I dare not say that it is [-]% accurate, but it should be able to restore it very well.

"Longevity?"

But at this moment, an old and uncertain voice sounded behind him.

Gu Changsheng got up and looked back, he was a sixtieth old man with a hunched waist and already full of white hair. His dark skin was very familiar.

"Uncle Wu?" Gu Changsheng replied cautiously.

"It really is you, Changsheng!"

Hearing Gu Changsheng's answer, the old man immediately became agitated on his face full of vicissitudes, and his hand on crutches trembled a little.

"Where have you been all these years, Changsheng?"

The Gu family and the Wu family have been neighbors for several generations.

When he was young, Wu Dalang and Gu Changsheng were very familiar.

The so-called, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

But more than 20 years ago, before the troubled times of Chu State came, Gu Changsheng had already packed up his bags and ran away with buckets.

For so many years, there is no news, no one is alive, no dead body is seen.

Wu Dalang thought that Gu Changsheng was already dead.

But I didn't expect that after so many years...

He could actually see Gu Changsheng again.

This is very... elusive, very magical!
He almost thought that he was cold and was going to see Tai Nai!

Fortunately, he stabilized in the end and chose to ask aloud.

Wu Dalang talked about the past with him, with a sad expression on his face.

Liu's tofu, Zhang's cloth shop...

There are also many neighbors who died one after another in the troubled times.

This actually made the business of the old Liu's paper-making shop at the end of the street much better.

It's just that this business is a waste of neighbors!

"Cough cough..."

Wu Dalang was talking, when suddenly he coughed violently.

Wu Dalang, who used to be able to pick up four full bamboo baskets and sell sesame seed cakes all over the city when he was young, now coughs after just saying a few more words.

It doesn't work if people refuse to accept their old age.

There was some self-mockery on his face.

Gu Changsheng seemed to see the hardships of life, the sufferings of troubled times, and the difficulty of living from that face full of traces of time.

……

After leaving Wu Dalang's house, Gu Changsheng first went to the Yamen in Yuzhou City.

The new house deed went smoothly without any difficulties.

Of course, it may also be because there are fewer people and more land, and the land deeds are not worth much at all.

The so-called change of dynasty is nothing more than a redistribution.

When the world gradually stabilizes, decades later, I am afraid that the exploitation will remain the same as before.

The general trend of the world is not too much, and the combination is divided.

So, the truth.

It's just that the world is determined now, and everyone who is still alive is afraid that it is impossible to see that day.

And he will surely see it.

This is not something that can be avoided with the appearance of a so-called Mingzhu Yingjun.

Rather, people's hearts!
The former Chu State may not be the present Xuan State.

But today's Xuan Kingdom will definitely become the former Chu Kingdom!

Just like a boy who slays a dragon, he will eventually become a new dragon.

There are many other things in the world that are actually like this.

The white-haired fisherman Qiao Jiangzhu used to watch autumn and spring.

A jug of muddy wine meets together.

Many things from ancient to modern times are all being discussed with laughter.

This is the good thing about living a long time, and you will always see many interesting things.

Give a pig tens of thousands of years, I'm afraid it will become a sperm!

Gu Changsheng's footsteps gradually stopped, and he stood in front of the dilapidated doorway, just like when he first came to the martial arts hall to practice martial arts 26 years ago, he looked up at the sign on his forehead.

Dragons, flying phoenixes, iron paintings and silver hooks, four large characters.

——Izumo Martial Art Museum!
The red-painted gate looked faded, and the two stone lions not far from the gate seemed to lose the majesty it had when he first saw it.

Gu Changsheng didn't know if it was because he had changed, or if the martial arts gym really fell into disrepair.

Walking forward, he knocked on the door of the martial arts hall.

"What are you doing?" The side door of the martial arts hall was opened with a gap the size of half his body, and a young man poked his head out and looked at him.

Gu Changsheng: "..."

That's right, that's the taste, it's exactly the same as before.

Is this sentence passed down from the ancestors of the gatekeepers of the Izumo Martial Art Museum?

When he came to the martial arts school, the first sentence that senior brother Lin Jun said to him was this sentence.

Walking into the martial arts hall, what is visible to the naked eye is even more dilapidated than the outside.

However, in the formerly bustling practice field, now there are only scattered people, not even a dozen or so people practicing.

I haven't seen you for a few days. What's the matter?
A trace of doubt flashed in Gu Changsheng's eyes.
