In the spring of 2066, Suzhou Qiucheng Garden was sunny and windy, and flowers were in full bloom.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, 73-year-old Liu Qingcheng, as usual, patrolled the garden and finally stopped at the edge of the pond. Looking at the big turtle lying on the stone on the shore, he couldn't help but sigh: "Times are ruthless, I am old It’s time to retire.”
She recalled that when she first joined Qiucheng Garden as a housekeeper, she was only 38 years old and her daughter was only 10 years old. However, time flies so fast that 35 years have passed in the blink of an eye! I am getting old, my daughter is middle-aged, and my granddaughter is in college!
She thought of the scene when she met Jiang Qiuyun last year. She thought that Jiang Qiuyun was almost 60 years old, but she still looked very young, with beautiful face and moonlight, graceful and graceful, and not at all old. It was really enviable!
In fact, although Liu Qingcheng is over seventy years old, she looks like she is in her fifties because she has practiced basic Qi nourishing techniques, eaten some dried fish, crabs and the like, and Qiu Chengyuan is rich in spiritual energy.
But she knew that she was getting older and didn't want to cover her ears, so she couldn't help but lament.
"If Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun are immortals, I can only envy them. But how did Zhao Hongshao advance to the innate level? When she came to Qiucheng Garden, she was already 33 years old! She was only 5 years younger than me. Why? She can succeed in cultivation, but I can only look on in disbelief?"
Regarding this question, she once asked Jiang Qiuyun, hoping for an answer.
Jiang Qiuyun said at the time: "One thing is related to age. Although there is only a 5-year difference, the vitality of middle-aged people declines very quickly. They can lose 20% of their vitality in five years; secondly, after Zhao Hongshao and Luo Ji got married, because of Luo Ji has advanced to the innate level and can gain vitality through dual cultivation."
Therefore, Liu Qingcheng could only blame himself: "I got married early, and my spiritual energy had not yet recovered at that time. How could I find a cultivator to be my husband?"
She sat down on the bench.
The warm sunshine is shining on your body and you are breathing in the refreshing spiritual energy. This is a rare enjoyment.
To be honest, she doesn't want to retire because she knows in her heart that the aura of Qiucheng Garden is much richer than outside. If she leaves here, her life span will be shortened by 5-10 years.
"It is said that the life span of a mortal is only 120 years. How many years do I have left?"
"Since the establishment of Wurou Villa, Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun rarely come here. It's not easy to meet them."
"For whom do all the flowers in this garden fall? For whom do they bloom?"
"I heard that after death, people can turn into ghosts in places rich in spiritual energy..."
Just as she closed her eyes and thought wildly, she suddenly heard a voice coming from the door.
She opened her eyes, her face was filled with joy, and she thought to herself: "If you say that Cao Cao is here, could it be that Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun are back?"
She stood up and went to greet them, only to see young Lu Qingyan, Ling Shiqiu, and their son Ling Lingqi coming in.
Lu Qingyan looked at Pan Shenghui, Yun Danfengqing, smiled and said: "Aunt Liu, you look bad, is it someone who made you angry?"
A smile appeared on Liu Qingcheng's face and he said: "I'm not angry. I just feel that I'm getting older and it's time to retire. Thinking of the past, I feel a little sad."
Lu Qingyan smiled and said: "Aunt Liu, you can't retire yet. My mother asked me to bring you the 'elixir'!"
Liu Qingcheng was surprised: "Elixir?"
The title of "elixir of death" is only found in ancient mythology. According to legend, Chang'e stole Hou Yi's elixir of immortality and ascended to the Moon Palace to become the Fairy Guanghan.

"Han Feizi": "If a guest offers a medicine of immortality, the minister eats it and the king kills the minister. This is the medicine of death, and the guest deceives the king." "Historical Records·Fengchan Book": "If you taste it, all the immortals and immortals will do it." All the medicines are here." "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" "There is Wushan, and there is Yellow Bird in the west. The imperial medicine, Bazhai. The yellow bird is in the witch, and it is the mysterious snake." Yuan Ke's note: "The magic medicine is the immortal medicine. Medicine." This immortal medicine is hidden in eight rooms.
In later generations, there was only the term "elixir" and no elixir.
Lu Qingyan took out a longan-sized elixir and said: "This is the 'elixir of immortality' that my dad just made. You divide it into four parts and take one part every quarter. It can replenish the missing qi and blood and the origin of the five internal organs. At the same time, If you continue to practice Qi Nourishing Technique, you will be able to advance to the innate level."
Liu Qingcheng was inexplicably surprised. He took the elixir, his lips trembled, and he couldn't make a sound for a while.
Lu Qingyan added: "This kind of elixir is very precious. My dad finally made a small amount of it! So Aunt Liu, don't publicize it to others, lest people come asking for it. If you don't get it when you ask for it, you will offend people."
Liu Qingcheng nodded vigorously: "I know. I didn't expect your parents to still miss me."
"Aunt Liu, you have watched me grow up, like a family member."
"How old is your son?"
"4 years old."
"Time flies so fast! I still remember you when you were a child..."
*****
West Lake in Hangzhou, at the foot of Nanping Mountain, is full of lush vegetation, the eyes are full of fresh green, and the fragrance of grass, flowers and trees comes to your nostrils.
Since Lu Qingshan and Mei Lingshang got married, he mobilized his father-in-law Mei Hongyu to retire and moved his mother-in-law Li Man to Qinghai Lake. But the two of them fell in love with their hometown and were unwilling to leave Hangzhou. Therefore, Lu Qingshan investigated the direction of the spiritual veins in hz city and built a house for them at the foot of Nanping Mountain.
As the nine major galaxies approach the solar system, the recovery of spiritual energy on the earth gradually accelerates. Therefore, the exhausted spiritual veins of Middle-earth are revived one after another, and a number of geomantic treasures gradually emerge.
The West Lake in Hangzhou was originally a place where spiritual veins gathered. The story of the Legend of the White Snake happened because Bai Suzhen went down to Qingcheng Mountain and discovered that there were remaining spiritual veins in the West Lake, so she lingered here.
Lu Qingshan and Mei Lingshang lived in Wurou Villa for nine months of the year; for two months they lived in Zuowang Garden in Hefei, because the nuclear physics research at the University of Science and Technology of China was unique; and for one month they lived in Hangzhou. Especially my son Lu Lingchen is 3 years old. He is lively and likes to look around. Hangzhou is a prosperous city suitable for people to live in, much more lively than Wurou Villa.
Mei Lingshang gave her parents the elixir and taught them the exercises in person.
Mei Hongyu and Li Man are just fifty years old. After taking the elixir, as long as they practice hard, they have a very high chance of advancing to the innate level.
Li Man felt very happy as she watched her daughter and son-in-law Qin Se harmoniously. Seeing her grandson growing up healthily, she felt as if she had eaten honey.
Mei Lingshang had 4 elixirs in her hand, and she gave the third elixir to her master Ke Jie.
As a person, you need to be grateful. It was precisely because Ke Jie gave Mei Lingshang the precious spot in the "Brain Development Summer Camp" that she had the blessings she had now.
Some people say that human life is destined by God. In fact, this is a false proposition. The secret of heaven is elusive, ever-changing and unpredictable. Even if a celestial witch like Lu Cheng has gained access to the five great magical powers, he still can't completely believe the future scene he sees!
If Mei Lingshang had not shown up at the summer school, she would not have fallen into the eyes of Lu Cheng and would not have been accepted as a disciple by Jiang Qiuyun. Her fate might have been different from now.
Because of this, she is grateful to her master Ke Jie.
Ke Jie was even more surprised than Liu Qingcheng when he got the "Elixir of Life".
"Can you really live forever after eating this thing?"
He is 69 years old. If he had been in an era when spiritual energy was scarce, he would have been an old man with gray hair. However, his spiritual energy has greatly improved at this time. As a national Go player, he has entered the Taoist realm in this industry, so his life span has been extended, and his head is Not a few gray hairs.
Mei Lingshang smiled and said: "Master, the elixir can only replenish qi and blood and the vitality of the five internal organs, but it cannot make people immortal. If you want to live forever, you have to practice cultivation."
Ke Jie said: "I have been practicing the Taoist "Longevity Sutra" for these years. My hands and feet are warm and I feel refreshed. Unfortunately, because I practiced too late, my meridians are blocked and I cannot build the foundation. If I take the elixir, I can open the block. The blocked meridians will be cured."
"Master, just give it a try."
"Okay! Thank you!" Ke Jie swallowed the elixir of immortality. From then on, an immortal chess immortal appeared.
Chess Immortal is just a title, Ke Jie also won the championship of Lanke Mountain Chess Immortal Competition.
