Many objective scholars believe that if the high mortality rate of infants and young children and the average life expectancy of ordinary people are included, the real average life expectancy of the Tang Dynasty should be around 30 years old.
Calculated in this way, the ancestor of the old lady’s family lived to be seventy-three years old on his own body, which is longer than any emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This is already very remarkable.
At this time, Mrs. Jiang also nodded and sighed: “It is recorded in the genealogy that when my ancestor was 113 years old, he was not deaf, his eyes were not blurry, and his body was still strong. Everyone thought he would live to be 100 years old.” Twenty years old, but when he was one hundred and thirteen years old, one day he had dinner and sat in front of the charcoal fire for a nap, when he suddenly said excitedly that Old Ancestor Meng had sent a white crane to pick him up. died.”
Ye Chen said: “It seems that your ancestors really have a deep relationship with that ancestor Meng.”
“Yes.” The old lady said: “The ancestors left the ancestral instructions during their lifetime. The Jiang family members are not allowed to leave here for generations. They must always guard the tombs of Meng’s wife and children, because Meng’s ancestor told him when he parted from my family’s ancestors. If I find the way of longevity myself, I will definitely come back to find my ancestors and give him some blessings…”
Ye Chen whispered: “Since then, this old ancestor Meng hasn’t shown up again?”
“No.” The old lady shook her head and said, “Jiang’s family has not left here for more than a thousand years, and they have never seen the person in the painting appear here. Perhaps the ancestor Meng failed to find the way of longevity. At the threshold of two hundred years old Even if Shangxian passed away…”
Ye Chen nodded and said: “It’s not impossible. Although Rejuvenation Pill is a panacea, it can’t be superimposed on anyone without limit. Relying on Rejuvenation Pill alone, you can’t live to be two hundred years old. Even if you have aura, it is not longevity. If you don’t grow old, if you want to live forever, you still need other opportunities.”
Even in the “Nine Xuantian Jing”, there is no record of any method that can make people live forever. The “Nine Xuantian Jing” is more like a textbook on how to use spiritual energy, but how to make spiritual energy stronger , strong to a certain state of invincibility, immortality, and immortality, there is no record in the “Nine Xuantian Jing”.
Moreover, in the “Nine Xuantian Jing”, there is no method that can make people live for more than two hundred years. The ability is close to that of a god, but there is no such kind of pill that can make people live for three to five hundred years, or even thousands of years.
Therefore, it is theoretically impossible for Ancestor Meng to still be alive more than a thousand years later, and his life may have stopped at a certain deadline.
This kind of person spends his life only practicing, and may die without a single person by his side. He is driving westward in a cave in a deep mountain and old forest, and in the end he cannot escape those six words: dust to dust, dust to dust. Return to the soil.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen asked the old lady again: “Grandma Jiang, your people, have you not left here for so many years?”
The old lady thought for a while, and said, “My ancestor’s ancestral precepts did not mean that we should not leave each other. He hoped that we could stay here, but at the same time, he also hoped that we could know the world’s affairs, so the Jiang family has always attached great importance to it.” Reading, when I was young, my father taught me to read and read, and later sent me down the mountain to study in middle school. In the intervening years, some descendants could not hold back and sneaked out, but most of them have been living in the This……”
Ye Chen asked her: “Living here must be very difficult, right?”
The old lady smiled and said: “In this deep mountain, apart from being sick and troublesome, eating and drinking are not a problem. Our people have been farming in spring and summer, and hunting in autumn and winter. No one has ever fought here, so we can ensure that the family inheritance has never been broken.”
Ye Chen asked again: “Are the other people in this village all your clansmen?”
The old lady said: “Now there are very few people surnamed Jiang here.”
As she spoke, she sighed: “The Jiang family has not been prosperous for more than a thousand years, especially males. In the early years, we had many female descendants who wanted to marry. In order not to leave here as much as possible , I can only find a way to recruit a wife, more and more people with foreign surnames, and they are all male strong laborers, gradually the yang flourishes and the yin declines, and the Jiang family’s right to speak gradually becomes smaller and smaller; ”
