When the old lady heard Ye Chen say the words Huichun Pill, she asked in shock, “Grandpa…you…you also know Huichun Pill?!”
Ye Chen nodded, and said calmly, “I know.”
There was a sentence that Ye Chen didn’t say.
That is, in fact, when he came, he specially prepared a Rejuvenation Pill for Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang couldn’t help admiring: “You are indeed a person with great supernatural powers just like Old Ancestor Meng!”
Ye Chen only smiled slightly, but was even more horrified in his heart.
So far, although he has benefited a lot from the “Nine Xuantian Jing”, he still doesn’t know who wrote the “Nine Xuantian Jing”.
Now, when he learned that Meng Changsheng had already refined the Rejuvenation Pill more than a thousand years ago, and gave two Rejuvenation Pills to the ancestors of the Jiang family, he couldn’t help asking himself in his heart: “Could it be that what I got? Is the “Nine Xuantian Jing” written by Meng Changsheng? The antique that the father-in-law knocked over in the Jiqing Hall of the Song family was indeed a Tang Dynasty jade pot and spring vase, and Meng Changsheng was also a person from the Linde period of the Tang Dynasty , In this way, the general dynasties are consistent, and with the information related to Huichun Pill that I learned from Grandma Jiang, this inference seems to be really possible…”
However, Ye Chen knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to conclude that “Nine Xuantian Jing” was written by Meng Changsheng based on these two points alone.
If you really want to prove this matter, at least you have to find more clues.
So, he put this question to the bottom of his heart for the time being, and asked Old Madam Jiang: “Grandma Jiang, may I ask how long did that old ancestor of your family live to die?”
The old lady said: “The ancestor of my family died in 863 A.D., the fourth year of Xiantong, and lived to be 113 years old. Because the wife and children of the ancestor Meng were buried in the middle of the back mountain, so my ancestor was buried in the middle of the mountain after his death. At the foot of the back mountain, the descendants of our Jiang family will also be buried at the foot of the mountain.”
Ye Chen couldn’t help sighing: “The old man lived to be 113 years old, minus the 40-year life span of the two rejuvenation pills, he also lived to be 73 years old by himself, which was very rare in that era.”
According to the statistics of some unreliable scholars, the average life expectancy of the Tang Dynasty was about 40 or even 50 years old.
However, their statistics and research are very one-sided. They only count the ages of those recorded people when they died from the epitaphs that can be found and recorded history books, and then calculate a so-called average age.
But they overlooked a big problem. Those who can leave their names in the history books, own a tombstone and have someone engrave the epitaph are themselves the elite class of that era.
Moreover, many children who died young and unmarried young people did not leave tombstones after their deaths, let alone those ordinary people who died and buried them hastily with straw mats.
Therefore, the average life expectancy of the elite class calculated by the elite class has no real meaning.
Verifiable history shows that the average life expectancy of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty was only about 44 years old. This was the most elite class in the Tang Dynasty and assembled the best means of living and production in the country. Forty-four years old.
