Wang Mang's face was filled with eagerness, his heart was rising and falling violently, and he was out of breath.
"Don't worry."
Gu Dan seemed to have expected it, "We'll go there right away."
He reached out and grabbed Wang Mang. The next moment, even the air made a huge roar, and the two of them disappeared in place almost like a stream of light.
Xia Dynasty Palace.
On a bed with raised curtains, Xu Wanrong's breath was weak and she was drowsy.
As a master of internal organs training who has experienced obstacles in her qi and blood, her qi and blood appear to be quite weak, and her whole body exudes the aura of decay.
When Gu Dan brought Wang Mang here, Xu Wanrong heard the noise, opened her eyes slightly, and said weakly: "I have met Mr. Gu."
"You're welcome."
Gu Dan opened the curtain and looked at Xu Wanrong, who looked surprisingly pale.
The beautiful and slender White Lotus Saint was no longer seen, and now lying on the bed was an old woman with white hair.
The face that used to be enough to make the bright moon eclipse is not old yet, but there are just a few wrinkles left on the face that refuse to go away.
Back then, Gu Dan destroyed the All Nations Chamber of Commerce, and all the treasures of the All Nations Chamber of Commerce fell into the Xia Dynasty.
Among them was a rare treasure called Shengyanhua, which Xu Wanrong had undoubtedly taken.
But Shengyanhua does not really stay young forever. Returning to her appearance after 30 years does not mean extending her life span by 30 years.
Even if we push it forward thirty years, Xu Wanrong's appearance is still over fifty years old. In this era, she can be called an old woman.
The black hair is added to the white hair, and the beautiful face is not retained.
In the face of time, it doesn't matter whether you are a master or a master.
The most tragic and fair thing in the world is nothing more than this.
This time, Xu Wanrong did not cover her face with her sleeves.
She looked at Gu Dan in surprise, especially Gu Dan's hair, which was already mostly graying, and asked with slight surprise: "Mr. Gu, are you also the youngest?"
Gu Dan was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, who in this world will not grow old?"
"It turns out that you will also grow old."
Xu Wanrong murmured to herself, with an inexplicable expression on her face. She didn't know if she was feeling lucky or sad, but she couldn't express it in words.
In the Xia Dynasty, this country was still developing rapidly and was even very young.
But the people who founded the Xia Dynasty together could not escape the clutches of time.
Gu Dan sent Xu Zhian away and Gong Shangguo away, but this time, the weight of time fell on Xu Wanrong.
In terms of actual acquaintance, he and Xu Wanrong had no friendship at all.
After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, Xu Wanrong was canonized as queen, and she was in charge of the harem and lived in seclusion.
Facts have proved that not all queens can be as wanton as Lin Xiaoyi, and Xia Chao is not Da Yue.
Xu Wanrong didn't have much friendship with the people in the Gu family courtyard. Besides, she was a woman after all, and she still had the status of a queen. In this era, it was not appropriate to get too close.
And Xu Wanrong also became Wang Mang's virtuous wife. At least Wang Mang never had to worry about the affairs of the harem.
There is another person in front of the bed.
She was holding Xu Wanrong's hand, her eyes full of reluctance, "Mother, Mr. Gu is here, you will definitely get better."
He is the child of Wang Mang and Xu Wanrong.
He was born in the year when the Xia Dynasty was established, and he was truly the prince for fifty years.
It's just that Gu Dan is not familiar with him, and they haven't even met him except when they were very young.
Not only him, but also Xun Ke and Xiao Ying's children, and even Cang's numerous descendants, Gu Dan treated them equally.
Most of the time, he had actually kept himself out of the Xia Dynasty.
The Grand Master couldn't stop the flow of time. He was caught in the trap before and couldn't help himself. After all, he was not a ruthless and desireless person. He couldn't just slap his butt and walk away.
Now Gu Dan has made his attitude clear by choosing to distance himself from the next generation.
It was precisely because of this that when the news about the Buzhou Mountains came, Wang Mang thought that Gu Dan was going to leave.
“Birth, old age, illness and death are all human nature.”
A smile appeared on Xu Wanrong's face, and she comforted her child in turn, "Even Mr. Gu can't avoid aging when he's strong, and even wise men like Mozi can't avoid accidents. How can my mother be so virtuous and capable?"
Wang Mang clenched his teeth and said nothing. He just stared at Gu Dan with expectant eyes. He hoped, he extremely hoped that Gu Dan, whom he regarded as his savior, could help him again.
Just like when he swept away the Grandmaster of the Four Nations Allied Forces.
Gu Dan said nothing, just waved his hands gently.
A rather soft layer of emerald green light enveloped Xu Wanrong's body like a veil.
Xu Wanrong's face turned slightly rosy and her eyelids blinked.
"Wang Lang. I'm a little sleepy."
she said.
"Then rest first, rest first."
Wang Mang said hurriedly.
"Don't wait here, national affairs are important."
Xu Wanrong's eyes had been closed, and only a few weak sounds were left.
"well."
Two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of his eyes. Wang Mang covered his cheeks with his palms, his eyes red.
Xu Wanrong has a different meaning to him.
When he rushed to Yuzhou, the impoverished boy luckily saved the life of the White Lotus Saint. In this way, he took root in the White Lotus Sect, and due to various coincidences, they actually got together.
It was also because of Xu Wanrong that Wang Mang had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation in the White Lotus Sect and successfully take charge of a church. He had men and brothers, and had the opportunity to display his talents.
Xu Wanrong is both his wife and his Bole.
All this is very much like the story about the protagonist in a storybook.
But, as we all know.
All stories must have an ending.
Even if they are both masters of martial arts, it does not mean that they will die in the same year, the same month and the same day.
While he was still considered healthy, Xu Wanrong could no longer hold on any longer.
The couple who had been together day and night for most of their lives, just lay down on the bed, and may never wake up again. I am afraid that only I can feel this sadness.
"Let her rest and don't make any noise."
Gu Dan said softly.
They left the room.
Wang Mang squatted in front of the steps without any trace of image, covering his face with his hands, "Brother Gu, is there really nothing we can do?"
"."
Silence is the best answer.
There is no way.
Gu Dan possesses the Qingmu Transformation Technique and has the most advanced medical skills in the world.
But there has never been any medical record of how to cure aging itself.
Even in the Buzhou Mountains, no one has ever heard of the existence of any rare and exotic fruit that can extend life-shouyuan is far more precious than ordinary people think.
Otherwise, how could the supreme pursuit of immortality be immortality?
The two of them sat outside quietly, neither of them talking.
Gu Dan and Xu Wanrong didn't know each other very well, so they weren't actually that sad. However, he had "felt the same" as Wang Mang felt today.
Death means separation.
It means never seeing you again.
It means that everything in the past can only be reviewed in memories.
He couldn't save Xu Wanrong, just like he couldn't save Xu Zhian and Gong Shangguo. There was only death in this world, which was extremely cruel, cold and heartless.
He can only make them feel a little more comfortable before death, so that they no longer have to carry heavy bodies and leave this world.
This is the only place where Gu Dan can help.
In the fiftieth year of the Xia Dynasty, Xu Wanrong passed away.
Wang Mang was seriously ill and Gu was responsible for his diagnosis and treatment.
There is no cure for heart disease.
After his physical condition improved a little, Wang Mang immediately devoted himself to state affairs.
He seemed to have regained the energy of his youth, often staying up all night to review memorials.
It seems that only in the midst of extremely busy work can we forget some unspeakable pain.
Or maybe, he just wanted to get closer to her and not let her go too far.
Xun Ke approached Gu Dan several times because of this matter, hoping that Gu Dan would enlighten Wang Mang.
However, even Gu Dan was powerless.
Only injuries that can be healed can doctors have the opportunity to diagnose and treat.
No matter how good the medical skills are, there will always be times when they are powerless.
The fifty-second year of the Xia Dynasty.
After two consecutive years of almost non-stop exertion, Wang Mang finally collapsed on the bed from exhaustion.
This means that he has the foundation to practice Zang Zang, otherwise he would have vomited three liters of blood.
"Brother Gu."
On the bed, Wang Mang looked at Gu Dan, who had a dark face, and actually gave him a smile.
"you"
Gu Dan wanted to scold him, but stopped when he reached his mouth and just said: "Why bother?"
If Wang Mang didn't think so hard, he would definitely be able to live for a few more years.
"Everyone is destined to die. A few years ago, I felt that my health was not as good as it used to be."
Wang Mang avoided answering, "I no longer have any regrets. I have almost gathered all the experiences I should have in the human world. Now I also want to see what death looks like and whether it is really that terrible. And whether it is consistent with Buddhism." It’s the same as they say, there is a paradise after death, and those who have made meritorious deeds during life will meet there.”
Wang Mang stared at Gu Dan and asked expectantly: "Brother Gu, tell me, is there a paradise?"
Gu Dan is the strongest person he knows, and he has always had great trust in Gu Dan.
If even Gu Dan thinks that the Paradise does not exist, then it probably really doesn’t exist, right?
"Everything in the world is mysterious and wonderful, the world of bliss."
Gu Dan hesitated for a moment, looked at Wang Mang's expectant eyes, and finally said: "Maybe it exists."
"That's good."
Wang Mang breathed a long sigh of relief, "I've been on this throne for so long, I'm almost tired of sitting on it."
Gu Dan smiled, Wang Mang was indeed right.
If you just want to be a foolish king, then you will naturally enjoy yourself in the moment and do whatever you want. Why do you care about the world? It is enough for you to be happy.
But if you want to be a holy king or a wise master, you may not be able to achieve a good reputation even if you spend a lifetime of hard work.
Fortunately, Wang Mang's talent is quite good, and he also has a group of very reliable people who help each other. If anyone mentions him in the future, he should be one of the examples of a holy king and a wise master.
"If you are frustrated, you should speak less."
After smiling, Gu Dan still scolded him with a straight face.
But there are some things that won’t go away if you don’t say them.
Fifty-three years of the Xia Dynasty.
Wang Mang fell on the bed again.
And this time, it was even difficult for him to get up.
When Gu Dan passed by, a maid was serving Wang Mang to drink water.
Wang Mang is already very old.
He did not take Shengyanhua, and his old appearance had already taken root on his face and grown vigorously. His hair, which had lost much luster, was well taken care of, and he was still somewhat energetic.
"You go out."
Gu Dan waved the maid away, looked at the water stains on the edge of Wang Mang's gray beard, and said dissatisfied: "Why, do you have to leak some water to drink?"
He stretched out his sleeves and wiped away the water stains for Wang Mang.
"I can't do it if I don't accept it."
Wang Mang, who was leaning on the bed, sighed at first, but recovered in an instant.
"Brother Gu, I have to leave."
When he said these words, Wang Mang was very serious and did not look like he was joking at all, but his tone was very calm and unruffled.
Perhaps because of his high martial arts skills, he has a very good perception in this regard.
The body I had had since birth finally began to complain.
He could feel that his body was constantly protesting, and his tired body was always urging him to fall asleep quickly.
All those things that I had never felt before came to me at this moment.
The body is tired, the consciousness is sinking, and he is unwilling to speak or move.
He sensed that it was the breath of death.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Gu Dan covered him with a thin blanket, "I haven't agreed yet."
"Brother Gu, are you used to it?"
Wang Mang said: "One person, one person left. In fact, they are all the same, just with different names. I am luckier than you in this aspect, and I don't have to stay at the end."
At this point, Wang Mang laughed and said, "I also have some advantages over the Grand Master."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Gu Dan raised his eyebrows, "It's time to clean up, right?"
"It can't be dealt with."
Wang Mang lay on the bed, motionless, "Fortunately, I didn't leave a mess for everyone. Even if I see them, I can give an explanation."
Facing death, Wang Mang was very calm.
On the day Xu Wanrong left, Wang Mang already understood that death was approaching quietly, just in the seemingly slow passage of time.
What is the purpose of living in this world?
Maybe, just for a name.
In order to imprint his name on future generations and in the hearts of all people in the world, he proves that he has been here and existed.
Many people are unable to do this. They are not known to others during their lifetime, and they are as unknown as autumn grass after their death.
He was lucky enough to meet Gu Dan.
He was lucky enough to meet Xu Wanrong.
He was lucky with everything that came after that.
He has completed what he wanted to do, and there are not many thoughts left in the world.
I just want to spend some time with my spouse and see those old friends who have been gone for a long time.
The country, the country, and the country have been carried on my back for too long, and it is far from being as easy as I thought.
Fortunately, he handed over a satisfactory answer sheet.
"Brother Gu, I have done what I promised you back then."
Wang Mang suddenly said something as he remembered something.
"Um?"
"The hungry will find food, the cold will find clothing, and the tired will find rest."
Wang Mang asked: "I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
