In the mountains and forests of Shennongjia, when Ma Yixian told his age, all three people present believed him.
Teacher Qi believes this age because she still thinks Lord Ma is a zombie, and this age is normal.
Lin Shuo and He Yongnian believed it because they were the inherited hunters of families with a family of more than nine inches in the Liemen, and their knowledge was different from that of ordinary people.
It is possible to practice to a certain level and grow old.
People in the hunter family like Lin Shuo and He Yongnian practice not for longevity, but for hunting, so their lifespan is generally not long.
I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet.
Every now and then, in the mountains and forests, life and death encounters with fierce beasts and different species will always occur.
Therefore, the deaths of hunters were almost all killed in battle.
If you don't go through such a toss, the life expectancy of hunters who cultivate power is not much different from that of ordinary people, but those masters of refining gods and borrowing things, especially refining gods, it is normal for them to live to be more than a hundred years old.
It is relatively rare to be two hundred years old, but it is not impossible. There have been a few such characters in the history of Liemen Yun's family.
The most recent one is named Yun Yulan.
She is the only inheritance hunter in the Yun family who has succeeded in spiritual enlightenment besides Yun Yuexin and Yun Xiu'er in the past five hundred years.
Born in the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, he died in the 13th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, with a life span of 246 years.
According to legend, the ancestor of the Liemen, the ancestor of the Yun family, lived to be nearly five hundred years old, and he was a peerless master with all-powerful abilities.
So Ma Yixian said that he was almost 380 years old, this matter was not new to Lin Shuo and He Yongnian's ears, and he could accept it.
But the surprise in my heart is still inevitable.
At such an advanced age, there is no sign of oldness on his body, which shows that this person's spiritual practice is really unfathomable.
It's no wonder that so many beasts of different species in Shennongjia are under his single-handed control.
At the same time, Lin Shuo also noticed that this Ma Yixian was different from him.
Although he also hunted, it was because he missed his dead wife, and hunting was just a way for him to express his grief.
So he didn't have the mentality of inheriting hunters to eliminate all evil and do everything according to his whim.
Keeping the cubs of wild beasts by their side is something that inheritance hunters cannot do.
He could do it, and while doing it, he also developed a collection habit.
But so far, Lin Shuo still hasn't heard the crux of the matter.
Ma Yixian has already said how the hunting ground came to be. There is no need for him to lie about this statement, and the credibility is relatively high.
But why is it happening now
Lin Shuo then said, "Senior Ma, please continue."
But at this moment Ma Yixian changed the subject, instead of following along, he asked instead: "Since I got married, I have been staying in Shennongjia for most of the time, Mr. Lin, do you know why? ?”
"Appreciate further details."
"My wife's name is Yun Yulan. I think President Lin should be familiar with this name."
Lin Shuo nodded, he naturally knew this person.
In fact, when Ma Yixian reported his age, Lin Shuo knew that if this man's wife was really from the Yun family as he said, there was a high probability that it was Yun Yulan.
Because these two people are about the same age, they were both born in the late Ming Dynasty, and this Yun Yulan also lived a long life.
The old man said back then, regardless of this Yun Yulan's ability, she was very lucky.
Giving birth to a child didn't take much pain, and it was the first child, which is very rare among the descendants of the Yun family.
The wear and tear was small during childbirth, which may be one of the reasons for her long life later.
After giving birth to a successor, Yun Yulan stepped down as the head of the Yun family early, lived in seclusion with her husband, and lived to be more than two hundred years old.
Her deeds after her seclusion, including who her husband was, were the secrets of the Yun family. The old man didn't know, so Lin Shuo didn't know.
However, this information is basically consistent with Ma Yixian in front of him.
"I don't know how your wife's deeds are recorded inside your Hunting Gate.
I can't tell other people, but you are the head of Liemen, and Lingci is from the Yun family, so I think I can tell you about it.
The reason why my wife and I live in seclusion in Shennongjia is not just to seek a quiet escape from the world, but mainly because of one thing.
The name of this thing, I don't know if you have heard of it, is called Earth Bodhisattva. "
When Lin Shuo heard the words "Earth Bodhisattva", although his expression was calm on the surface, his heart was already full of waves.
Of course he had heard the name.
According to Miao Guangqi and Cao Yusheng's judgment, the disappearance of his mother Yun Yuexin was related to this "Earth Bodhisattva".
But the Ma Yixian in front of him was not the father-in-law Miao Guangqi and the fourth uncle Cao Yusheng. Lin Shuo didn't trust him, so he didn't express his opinion, but just listened quietly to this man.
"The Earth Bodhisattva is the mortal enemy of the Yun family. My wife Yun Yulan has practiced all her life to deal with this thing.
At the beginning, she fell in love with me, a wandering doctor, and was willing to marry me, because she took a fancy to my talent in refining gods, and wanted to join forces with me to hunt down this Bodhisattva.
My current ability, Ma Yixian, is mostly realized by myself, but the first half is taught by my wife.
Since she has this goal, I will naturally accompany her to the end.
At that time, my wife sensed the Earth Bodhisattva, tracked it all the way to Shennongjia, and finally determined that the lair of the Earth Bodhisattva is near here.
So my wife and I lived here and looked for this thing here.
This search lasted for more than two hundred years, until my wife ran out of oil and passed away.
In the past two hundred years, actually in the third year, I knew that my wife must have been fooled.
This Bodhisattva is inscrutable, and with my husband and I's cultivation, even if we can sense it, it is a false message deliberately released by it.
But my wife's obsession is too deep, and for me, there are mountains and rivers here, it's not a good place to live, so I let her go. "
When Ma Yixian said these words, Lin Shuo was a little distracted while listening.
He remembered a period of his parents' past.
At that time, my mother took the old man, the old man, and the fourth uncle Cao to hunt something in the Qinling Mountains.
What kind of prey it was, the mother never said, and the last four returned without success.
Thirty years ago, my mother seemed to sense the existence of the Earth Bodhisattva, but that thing was in Qinling, not Shennongjia.
Ma Yixian continued:
"After my wife passed away, I traveled all over the world, firstly, I wanted to leave this sad place for a while, and secondly, I wanted to find this Bodhisattva for her.
In the end, the Bodhisattva was not found, but I brought back quite a few cubs of wild beasts.
In fact, my wife claimed that she could sense the Earth Bodhisattva, but I was skeptical.
In fact, my cultivation base in refining gods was already higher than hers a long time ago, but I have never sensed the existence of Earth Bodhisattva.
I didn't believe it until the last two years.
Because, I felt it too. "
Lin Shuo frowned: "Mr. Ma sensed something?"
"Earth Bodhisattva." Ma Yixian smiled wryly, "So now I can understand why my wife was so obsessed with it back then.
Because this feeling is extremely strong and has a huge attraction.
Chief Lin, your Lin family is Xiuli, I don't know if you can understand this situation.
When sensing the existence of the Earth Bodhisattva, it is not a feeling of disgust, but an irresistible pleasure.
Once you experience it, your whole body will be comfortable and refreshed.
And once this feeling disappears, the mood will be very low, and there will be a feeling of lovelessness in life.
This kind of induction, for a god refiner like me, is both boundless enjoyment and endless torture.
I want to resist intellectually, but I always pursue it involuntarily. "
Hearing this, Lin Shuo couldn't help but said, "Isn't this the same as drugs?"
"Yes." Ma Yixian nodded, "I have also been in touch with modern medicine, and the principle of the bodhisattva's method is indeed very similar to that of drugs, which is to destroy the dopamine reward mechanism of our human beings.
The reward mechanism of dopamine determines the production of various pleasures in our body.
All positive and negative emotions originate from the secretion of dopamine, which directly determines our human behavior and cannot be resisted at all. "
"Does that happen to all people who sense the existence of Earth Bodhisattva?" Lin Shuo asked.
"It should be like this." Ma Yixian said, "We who practice gods, once we are targeted by the Bodhisattva, we will suffer from such torture."
Lin Shuo was silent, but his mind was not calm.
Mother Yun Yuexin must be the same.
As a descendant of the Yun family who has succeeded in enlightening the spirit, like Yun Yulan and Ma Yixian, she has long been targeted by the Earth Bodhisattva.
Ma Yixian said: "It is because of this kind of torture that in the past two years, my spiritual realm has been constantly falling.
Originally, you, the leader of the hunting gate, came here, and I should have sent all the twelve beasts and alien species under my seat to greet you.
But now, I can only drive these eight heads, and the other four stronger beast masters are out of my control.
These four beast kings have already grown up, and each of them is stronger than the eight quasi-beast kings combined. Now that I have fallen, once I can't control them, there is nothing I can do about them.
So in the past two years, the hunting grounds will get out of control, and the mountain people will disappear.
And my leg was broken in the same way.
He Yongchang wants to move the mountain people out, I agree with this, so I don't mind them using the name of Lord Ma to make a fuss.
Mr. Lin, speaking of this, I think I should have explained what you need to know.
It's your turn. "
Lin Shuo didn't speak immediately, he was thinking about a question.
Once Ma Yixian sensed the Earth Bodhisattva, the realm of refining the gods would keep falling.
My mother, Yun Yuexin, had sensed the Earth Bodhisattva very early on. At that time, her realm was the nine-inch three realms inherited by the Yun family.
And when she disappeared, she was far more than nine inches three, according to the old man, she had already reached nine inches five.
Instead of falling, it rose.
This is suspicious.
why
It's just that I can't figure it out for the time being, so Lin Shuo didn't think too much, but asked, "Senior Ma, I noticed your wording.
What you just said is induction, not feeling.
The two are different. Sensation has no direction, but induction has direction.
Since you have sensed the existence of Earth Bodhisattva, you have a sense of where it is probably, right? "
"That's right." Ma Yixian nodded slightly, "It may be because of my higher realm, back then my wife could only sense that the Earth Bodhisattva was probably in Shennongjia, but now I can clearly feel where it is.
It's just that I'm already like this after such a long distance. If I get any closer, I may lose the most basic self-control ability.
So that place, I dare not approach.
I went to Miao Xueping before, she is a hunter who practiced the borrowing method of the Miao family, and she is very powerful.
And her spiritual practice is not to the point of being targeted by the Earth Bodhisattva, so she is a very good candidate.
Later, I heard her say that Mr. Lin is more capable than her, and he is a man of cultivation, so that would be even better.
Therefore, Ma has an unfeeling request here. "
Lin Shuo said, "Senior Ma, do you want me to go to the location of the Earth Bodhisattva you sensed and find out?"
Ma Yixian clasped his fists and cupped his hands: "It would be even better if I could kill him easily. In this way, my realm will soon return to the peak, and this He family's hunting ground will also be restored to its original state."
"That sounds good." Lin Shuo said lightly.
"Ms. Ma has heard a little about Ling Ci's matter, it is said that she disappeared?" Ma Yixian asked again.
Lin Shuo narrowed his eyes and nodded.
"Lingci, like my wife, is a successful hunter of the Yun family, and she should have sensed the Earth Bodhisattva." Ma Yixian said in a deep voice, "So, Lingci's disappearance cannot be separated from the Earth Bodhisattva.
If Mr. Lin can go to find out, maybe there will be unexpected gains. "
"Thank you for reminding."
"That's good." Ma Yixian picked up a branch on the ground and said, "I'll draw that place for you."
"please."
