The guests and the host enjoyed themselves. It was night in Jiangzhou. The winter stars on the zenith and the dazzling lights of the palace complemented each other, making it extremely brilliant.
"Jiang Heng." Xiong Lei sat lazily on the king's couch holding tea, Xiang Yu hadn't left yet.
"Your Majesty, please speak." Jiang Heng knew that he must have something to say to himself.
"You studied in Haige before?" Xiong Lei squinted and looked at Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng said: Wait, how did you know about this
"Your Majesty has good eyesight." Jiang Heng thought to himself that he had finally come, a country unilaterally sent a proton, and King Ying would not want anyone. He wanted him by name. There was absolutely a reason.
"Long Yu said," said Xiong Lei, "this year, the coalition army is his personal envoy. When he came to Jiangzhou, this king was with him."
Jiang Heng understood that if Zheng Guo wanted to take the lead as the leader of the alliance, he had to keep the safety of Yuedi, and only Long Yu personally sent an envoy with enough weight to convince the country of Ying.
"It seems that he didn't say anything nice." Jiang Heng smiled.
"Between his words," Xiong Lei half-smiled, shaking his head, not knowing whether he was in admiration or pity, "but I admire you very much!"
"That's really an award." Jiang Heng said.
Xiang Yu said, "Prince Ling once said, Mr. Jiang will be able to conquer the world. I didn't expect that today, Mr. Jiang came to this country."
Jiang Heng burst into a burst of laughter, as if he heard something interesting, and Xiong Lei was taken aback.
"Zhao Ling is a very cunning guy," Jiang Heng said with a smile, "he's flattering."
"Are you so famous in the Central Plains?" Geng Shu asked Jiang Heng.
"It's all the face given by the monarchs," Jiang Heng said with a smile. "Maybe, they prefer the golden seal that the emperor asked me to keep?"
"Oh, yes!" Xiong Lei said, "Where's Jinxi going?"
Jiang Heng said: "At the joint meeting, King Yong will take it out. Thinking about the world today, apart from His Majesty, there is no monarch who is qualified to keep it, right?"
"Why?" Xiong Lei was funny, "What do you think?"
Xiang Yu gave Xiong Lei a wink, and Xiong Lei seemed to remember that he had discussed with him, so he made a blunder. Jiang Hengzheng wanted to brag about the country of Ying, but Xiang Yu changed the subject and said, "No matter what else, Prince An said, I want to discuss with Mr. Jiang how to promote the plan of dividing the world equally."
"Waiting at any time." Jiang Heng said, from these words, he could hear that the Ying Kingdom was not completely unambitious in conquering the territories of other countries. Even if the King Ying was indulging in comfort, there were still clear-headed people in the court. Including the prince.
It's just that Prince Ying didn't come tonight, so there must be something Xiong Lei didn't want to say in front of his son.
"Jiang Heng," Xiong Lei said, drinking a sip of tea, "Do you know why there are so many people in Yong Kingdom, but this king wants you?"
Here, finally... Jiang Heng knew that this would never be without reason, and he had to answer cautiously.
"I want to come, mostly because His Majesty Wang has a lot to ask me." Jiang Heng smiled.
Xiong Lei nodded in appreciation and said, "You are very smart."
What does this guy want? Jiang Heng was always very puzzled, and he discussed it repeatedly with Geng Shu when he came here. The ruler of a country is said to be big and very small, and when he encounters a monarch who does not appreciate him, he will only run into walls everywhere.
Suddenly, a thought flashed in Jiang Heng's mind - Xiong Lei had already reminded him.
"Could it be," Jiang Heng said, "Is Your Majesty interested in my division?"
"Exactly," said Xiong Lei, "exactly, you don't need to say more when dealing with smart people. You are accepted as a disciple by Haige, so you are naturally a first-class smart person."
Xiang Yu said, "Is there anything you want to say to His Majesty the King?"
Jiang Heng: "?"
Jiang Heng was suddenly confused again, Xiang Yu just stared at Jiang Heng, then smiled knowingly and raised his eyebrows, there was a faint evil spirit in that smile.
"What do you want, Your Majesty?" Jiang Heng said, "From the sea pavilion to astronomy and geography, the way everything in the world is transformed, down to self-defense martial arts, all kinds of cooking skills, governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food..."
"People in the world have said that there are many secrets in the sea pavilion. Only studied under the master for four years, I am really ashamed, and only learned a skin. If your majesty is really interested, you should know that there is nothing to say, and there is nothing to say. "
"Very good!" Xiong Lei's eyes widened, and he suddenly became energetic, and said, "Do you know a man named 'Xiangzhou'?"
Jiang Heng was startled and looked at Xiang Yu. He had previously instructed him not to mention this name in front of Xiong Lei, but King Ying himself mentioned it first.
"He's my uncle," Jiang Heng said. "When he started, Mr. Gui no longer accepted apprentices. His master's name was Luo Xuan, and he wasn't very famous in the world."
"Who is that?" Xiong Lei thought about it and said, "Don't worry, Luo Xuan? Well, Luo Xuan. Is Xiangzhou dead? Why haven't I heard from him again?"
Xiang Yu seemed a little distracted, but his eyes were always on Jiang Heng.
"Xiangzhou is my uncle in name..." Jiang Heng thought of what happened back then, and felt a little sad, and said, "I feel the same as my senior brother, Luo Xuan is more like my senior brother, um, Xiangzhou is a senior brother, right? He... in Luoyang old world.”
Jiang Heng knew that in Haige, Mr. Ghost was equivalent to accepting him as his apprentice, but he only sent it in Luo Xuan's name and let the second senior brother take care of him.
"He's my son," Xiong Lei said sternly, "one of the sons."
"Ah." Jiang Heng nodded. He had also heard Luo Xuan say that Xiangzhou once had an identity and was the royal family of the Ying Kingdom, so he was not surprised.
"This king treated him badly back then," Xiong Lei said, "he can't have his surname, he can only take his mother's surname Xiang, so it doesn't hurt to tell you, Jiang Heng, a man, sometimes he can't control himself very well, he must be You can understand that too."
Jiang Heng didn't answer. He glanced at Xiang Yu, and doubts arose in his heart. Xiong Lei didn't seem to know that he knew Xiang Zhou. What does this mean
Xiong Lei said: "I don't mention much about him, but I just heard the general say that Xiangzhou has been staying in your Haige for a long time..." He gestured to Xiang Yu and asked Xiang Yu to continue. .
Xiang Yu Ziruo said, "Apart from Luo Xuan and Mr. Gui, who else is there in Haige?"
Jiang Heng really planned to say everything he knew at first, and there was nothing he could say. When these two people went round and round to check his details, he couldn't help but keep his heart and say, "No."
"What kind of person is Luo Xuan?" Xiang Yu said again, "He is your master, let's say, how is your relationship with him?"
Jiang Heng: "???"
"He's a..." Jiang Heng thought about it, it was really hard to describe Luo Xuan, thinking of the years when they were together, Luo Xuan gave him a home during those four years.
Today, he has long since left the Central Plains and gone overseas, right? I just don't know if he will occasionally think of himself in the new Haige, and think of the unsatisfactory little junior brother
When Geng Shu heard this, he turned to look at Jiang Heng with very complicated eyes.
"In the few years when my brother was not around," Jiang Heng explained more to Geng Shu, earnestly, "He raised me like a brother and a father, and thanks to him, I let me grow up. Going through the toughest time. He loves me a lot and loves him a lot."
It was the first time that Geng Shu heard his feelings for Luo Xuan from Jiang Heng's mouth. He was neither jealous nor caring. First, Luo Xuan had already returned his younger brother to him; ? Jiang Heng has always attached great importance to friendship and righteousness, which is a matter of course, but it made Geng Shu feel more difficult for him.

"Then he must have a skill," Xiong Lei said again, "to teach it?"
"No." Jiang Heng smiled helplessly, " blunt talent, in fact, he is an ordinary person, no smarter than most people, and he can't learn 10% of his skills. After all, Haige has too many books, and each Disciples must have specialties, otherwise, for a lifetime, they will only be greedy and chew, which is too embarrassing."
"The general told me again," Xiong Lei said, "he knew it from Xiangzhou and heard..."
When Xiong Lei said this, he leaned over slightly, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "In your Haige, there is a legend that there is a technique of immortality, which is the same as that of heaven and earth?! Is that so?"
Xiong Lei's expression became serious in an instant, staring at Jiang Heng, waiting to judge whether his next words were true or not. When Jiang Heng heard this, he was instantly shocked and turned to Xiang Yu.
How did he know? Did Xiangzhou tell him before he died
Now that the truth is finally revealed, Jiang Heng is full of laughter in his heart, so it is!
I see!
How can you leave so many people alone, yet you want to be a proton!
Geng Shu was also very surprised when he heard this, and glanced at Jiang Heng, this was far beyond the scope of martial arts, it was immortal!
"Is there any?" Xiong Lei asked Jiang Heng.
"Yes." Jiang Heng smiled without thinking.
Xiang Yu smiled knowingly and looked at Xiong Lei. After Xiong Lei answered this affirmatively, he immediately showed greedy eyes and stared at Jiang Heng.
"Have you learned?" Xiong Lei said, "Can you live forever?" Immediately, he showed a suspicious look.
Jiang Heng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's not what you imagined, if you want, I can explain it to you slowly." At the same time, Xiangyu, you guy... It turned out that it was you who pushed King Ying and brought him not far away. Get it in a hurry.
"Tell me," Xiong Lei said, "Tell me carefully, do you really have such spells?"
"It is true," Xiang Yu said seriously, "I will listen to the young master at the end... I heard him say it. It was only many years ago."
Looking at Xiong Lei's appearance, it seemed that he wanted to send Xiangyu away. No matter how you said this news, he handed it over. It's not easy to cross the river and demolish the bridge.
Xiang Yu is very knowledgeable. The less people know about this kind of thing, the better. He consciously got up and retire and said, "The last general is going to patrol the city. If there is nothing wrong with Mr. Jiang these few days, then the last general will take him to Jiangzhou. Have fun."
"Go, go." Xiong Lei waved his hand, just asking for it, looked at Geng Shu again, and said, "This child with a paralyzed face, you..."
"It's okay," Jiang Heng said. "Let him sit. He is so brute force that he doesn't understand what he says."
Geng Shu: "..."
Xiong Lei thought that this valet was brought by Jiang Heng. Anyway, he wanted to tell the other party, and sooner or later he could speak in private, so he acquiesced to Geng Shu's audition, waved back all the palace attendants, and went to the side in person. , dim the lights.
Jiang Heng thought that your courage is too much. Geng Shu still has a sword. At this time, he wants to assassinate you. With just one sword, you can have a national mourning tomorrow.
"Speaking of which," Xiong Lei's attitude changed suddenly, sitting on the king's couch, with the expression of accepting the immortal's touch and directing the longevity, and made a "please" gesture, "Sir, please speak."
Jiang Heng thought for a while, and said, "This is also a glimpse into the door. The first thing I want to remind His Majesty is that if you want to maintain the appearance of a period of time, it is impossible to live forever and stay young forever."
"Oh?" Xiong Lei was obviously very nervous, and his voice was shaking.
"I want to live forever and never die," Jiang Heng said seriously, "but maybe it can be achieved. To practice the art of immortality, it is not about having a permanent face and never getting old. All things grow; just like snakes and insects shedding their shells, renewing themselves, gradually replacing their old flesh sacs, and giving off new vitality with the power of the transformation of heaven and earth."
"Oh!" Xiong Lei was shocked and said, "So that's how it is!"
Geng Shu looked at Jiang Heng suspiciously.
Jiang Heng remembered that when he first worshipped the sea pavilion, Mr. Ghost had an immortal face, but his appearance was already old. After that, it was obviously the art of rejuvenation and rejuvenation. Qi has been possessed since childhood, and it is clear, so it is called 'clean qi'. As the five senses converge and many worries continue, the qi will gradually become cloudy, which is called 'turbid qi'."
Geng Shu: "..."
Geng Shu's expression wanted to say that Jiang Heng was talking nonsense. Of course, those who practice martial arts know the inner strength and the mind. The first lesson of martial arts is to practice Qi. It's just bullshitting.
Geng Shu can restrain his thoughts of refuting Jiang Heng, resting his forehead with one hand and lowering his eyes slightly.
Just listen to Jiang Heng again: "The turbid qi will turn back and make the body gradually age, so if you need to convert the turbid qi into clear qi again, you can gradually rejuvenate the body and bring it back to the state of youth."
Xiong Lei was stunned, nodded slowly, and asked eagerly, "Then how to transform?"
"Let's borrow strength from the sky and the earth," Jiang Heng said with his hands facing forward, doing a movement of starting his hands and applying force to practice the exercises, "Expel your turbid qi..."
Geng Shu's shoulders shook a few times and he coughed, his expression a little unnatural.
Jiang Heng pinched Geng Shu's thigh again with one hand, and continued: "...and then absorb the fresh air between heaven and earth, this is the so-called 'collecting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth', of course, it needs to cooperate with special exercises and retreat. Pair it with a regular diet.”
"Oh?" Xiong Lei said suspiciously, "Don't you need to take any elixir? Where's the elixir? Did your teacher leave you any medicine?"
"I need elixir," Jiang Heng said, "I don't need elixir."
Most of the health-preserving pills are mercury. Jiang Heng did not dare to let Xiong Lei eat indiscriminately, fearing that he would die suddenly, and said, "I need the dew between the heavens and the earth at midnight, together with some very precious medicinal herbs. As for the exercises. , with seven, seven and forty-nine days as a week, a total of nine weeks.”
Jiang Heng casually gave a nine-year deadline. Anyway, when the time came, he didn't know where to go.
Xiong Lei thought that Jiang Heng might be carrying some elixir, or that he could practice elixir. In this way, the mystery should all be in this exercise.
"You know how to practice?" Xiong Lei said.
"I remember." Jiang Heng said, "Masters are not allowed to copy, they can only teach by word of mouth. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
"Of course!" Xiong Lei said, "Of course! You said! How to practice?"
Geng Shu thought to himself, seeing how nonsense you are, how do you make up your mind
Jiang Heng said: "You can't practice right away, otherwise it will be harmful to your body. Your Majesty must prepare in advance. Of the thirty-six days, fast for the first six days, avoid alcohol for the second six days, and avoid alcohol for the third six days. From six days onwards, there is no meat or smell; from four to six days, burning incense and bathing; from five or six times, it is forbidden to have intercourse; on six or six days, every morning, at sunrise, you have to go out to drink dew. , if you can do it all from the beginning and discipline yourself, all the better.”
Xiong Lei: "So troublesome?"
Jiang Heng, with the appearance of Xiong Lei, knew that he was a big fish every day, eating and drinking, and indulging in wine and sex. ?"
Xiong Lei thought about it again, there are always alchemists in the Ying Palace, those alchemists alchemy and burning incense every day, fasting for many years, and they have few desires. Keeping the precepts is already considered a quick success.
"Well," said Xiong Lei, "do you want to pick a day?"
"Yes." Jiang Heng said, "In a few days it will be the beginning of spring, and it will be very good from the beginning of spring. It is best to prepare and practice at the same time every year, and don't pamper yourself too much after the end."
Xiong Lei thought for a while and said, "Then let me try."
Jiang Heng said: "In just a short period of time, His Majesty Wang can clearly feel it."
Xiong Lei asked earnestly, "How do you feel?"
"The body is as light as a swallow," Jiang Heng said, "it seems to be much younger. Of course, it depends on the person and varies from person to person. By the ninth year, it will be very obvious, and then another set of … It’s a bit like the mental method of shedding skin, and finally retreating for eighty-one days, when you leave the retreat, you will be completely different.”
"Nine years." Xiong Lei is forty-eight years old this year, and he will soon pass the threshold of knowing the destiny. How to seek longevity has become the most important thing for him in the past few years. You have to live to enjoy it. If Jiang Heng's words are true, he will be the king of the future!
As for this exercise, will it be passed on to his son? That's another story.
