"You should know what your grandpa has been studying."
"Longevity, Comrade Marx will not let him go. The proletarians all over the world will unite to oppose it."
Meng Qisheng ignored my uprising and said to himself: "Ning Hanqing is one of the most radical people who were obsessed with longevity at that time. Unlike us, he is really researching this as a scientific undertaking. At that time, the yellow race needed a sigh of relief internationally. What could be more exciting than discovering a technology that will immortal humans?"
I was silent when I heard this. Indeed, even after the reform and opening up, how much the Chinese want to stand up internationally, how much they hope to hear a sincere compliment, how much they hope to produce a batch of our own Scientific people. Therefore, there was a wave of qigong in the 1980s and 1990s. The whole people learned qigong. Some qigong masters openly declared that qigong can defend against missiles, and won a large number of supporters. There is also the absurd scam of "oil-to-water", which has cheated the people of the whole country into joy, and governments all over the country have invested one after another. Even in the second decade of the new century, those foreigners who say I love you China are so popular, they are full of water.
So I can understand that era, with a scientific mentality to study longevity people.
Meng Qisheng didn’t know that I had a lot of thoughts, and continued: “Your surname Ning was a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River in the Song Dynasty. He supported the emperor’s alchemy practice. It only started to be active again in the 1920s and 1920s. Ning Hanqing was the leader who picked up the longevity plan again at that time. With the Ning family as the core, he integrated various forces and formed a secret investigation bureau.
He is different from many people. He doesn't stick to a certain kind of doctrine, and he doesn't care whether it is science or superstition. He has to make use of all clues related to longevity. Fortunately, you have a rich background, and you have left too many mysticisms. Ning has to study one by one, and remove those things that make alchemy and bigu. Do you know what Ning's first major discovery is? "
"Wet Jiao." I said.
Meng Qisheng sneered, "That's right, Wet Jiao. The Secret Investigation Bureau found legends about the Wet Flood in the various documents left by the Ning family. However, due to its limited power, the Secret Investigation Bureau had to organize social forces to participate in the research. I was involved, and it is still difficult to get out. After the wet flood, Ning Hanqing has mastered the first-hand information. Di is not his only experimental product. He organized several experiments later, but they all failed.
Di seems to be the only successful experiment. After the wet flood, Ning's research has stalled, and there has not been much progress. Then came the change of regime. The Nationalist government withdrew to Taiwan, but Ning Hanqing stayed on the mainland. As he said before, he was not a person who stuck to the form. He quickly came up with a materialistic plan and won the support of the Republic. Under his protection, a group of people who belonged to the ghosts and snakes who should be defeated survived, including Xuanhuitang and others. Therefore, even though Ning Hanqing's actions were too radical and caused other people's dissatisfaction, many people still thank him from the bottom of their hearts. "(End of this chapter)
