Pei Du calmed down and looked through them one by one. Most of these books were from before the Great Sage Emperor. Some of the books were before Wang Mang and were ancient pre-Qin books collected by Wang Mang in his time.

The first volume is an anecdote from the Sui Dynasty. It is said that in the second year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, there was a child named Xu in a certain village in the south of the Yangtze River. He had lived in the village for more than ten years without changing his appearance. He suddenly disappeared and no one knew his whereabouts. Three

More than ten years later, there was a businessman in that village. When he went to a place thousands of miles away, he met a child who looked like the missing child named Xu.

It's just that thirty years have passed, and the appearance of the child named Xu is still the same as before, without any change.

The businessman came forward to ask, but the boy named Xu did not recognize him. The businessman thought that there really was a theory of reincarnation in the world.

The second volume tells a story more than 700 years ago. Someone was cutting firewood on the mountain. He saw two people in red and white playing chess on the side of the road. He was so absorbed in watching it that he forgot to go home. The two people in red and white were playing chess.

Down

When it was over, the woodcutter was surprised to find that the handle of the ax in his hand had been cremated.

The woodcutter staggered home, and the village changed greatly. His parents

His wife died of old age, and all the villagers she knew also passed away. Only a young man named Xu in the village knew him and told him that a hundred years have passed since you left home.

The woodcutter was surprised when he saw that the boy looked like this a hundred years ago and still looks like this a hundred years later. At this time, two people in red and white clothes appeared and took away the hundred-year-old boy.

The two people also said that they almost got into trouble while playing chess.

Pei Du looked through other books, and they were full of strange stories, and the things recorded were often caused by a young man whose appearance remained unchanged.

The more he read, the more frightened he became. He gradually turned to ancient books from two thousand years ago, and there were actually sporadic records about an ageless boy!

This ageless boy has a history even older than his Pei family!

He appeared in the crater that destroyed Wang Mang's army, crawled out of the mass grave where books were burned and Confucians were buried, he appeared next to Meng Jiangnu who cried when the Great Wall collapsed, and he also participated in the Battle of Changping, where Bai Qi killed forty people

He is the one among all those who have suffered a stroke!

He was the young man who imitated the barking of a fox during Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising. He was also the young man who tied up Liu Bang's father in front of the two armies and prepared to put him into a pot to cook and eat.

He appears in a corner of history and rarely attracts attention.

Pei Du scanned all the ancient books and was speechless for a long time.

The Pei family's collection of books is limited and there are no older books, so he doesn't know whether this ageless boy will appear in older records.

Some of these books have pictures, and some have text. Judging from the pictures, the young man in the painting does have some similarities to Xu Ying, but it is not certain that it is him.

"Master, these books are mostly anecdotes from unofficial history. What they record may not be true, and they may not be about the same boy."

Pei Jingting said cautiously, "An immortal boy has lived from four to five thousand years ago to now. No one would believe this kind of thing."

Pei Du nodded slightly and said: "You are right. This person is unknown, and his story is not recorded in the real historical annals. Most of these anecdotes are family stories and cannot be trusted."

Pei Jingting added: "Xu Ying may not be the immortal boy in the book. I think that although he has amazing words and amazing actions, he still has the temperament of a young boy."

Pei Du nodded and said, "He often behaves like an adult and speaks like an adult, but he still has the heart of a child."

Pei Jingting said: "He is extremely useful to our Pei family and we should win over him."

Pei Du said: "Yes. He can interpret the Qi Practitioner's skills. Who among the major families doesn't want to win over him? With all the major families asking for help from him, if my Pei family attacks him, I'm afraid he will become a target of all the people.

Targeted."

Pei Jingting said with a smile: "I'm worried that my brother will have evil thoughts about him because of his immortality. My father implanted a piece of flesh and blood with the curse of immortality to extend his life until now, and he has not been eaten. If there is

What's a piece of immortal flesh and blood without a curse? What if you could live forever like this?"

"Do not say!"

Pei Du interrupted him, with veins pulsing on his forehead, and said, "Don't say it! My Taoist heart is not that strong and I can resist all temptations! Jingting, you go down first. Instruct those who are looking for books about this matter."

Brother, you must not spread it outside!"

Pei Jingting bowed and said yes, then stepped out.

Pei Du waved his hand and asked the maids to go down as well. He paced back and forth in the study, his eyes falling on the mountains of books from time to time, his expression uncertain.

“To eat or not to eat”

"Eternal life is at your fingertips for the first time. Just like my father.

Is life worse than death, or should I take the next step boldly? After all, my life span is about to run out..."

Xu Ying and Yuan Ru hung out for a day and didn't come back until the sun went down. As soon as they entered the house, they felt that something was not right in the atmosphere. They met a beautiful middle-aged woman accompanying a head.

The gray-haired old lady stood there and looked at them without saying a word.

The smile on Yuan Ru's face froze, she lowered her head and walked over, saying softly: "Mother, great-grandma."

Xu Ying also hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. The beautiful woman looked similar to Yuan Rusu and Yuan Weiyang. She said with a smile: "No need to be polite. Mr. Xu, I have neglected you these past few days. Uncle Xiao, please send Mr. Xu to rest."

interest."

Uncle Xiao said yes and came to invite him.

Xu Ying had no choice but to leave with Uncle Xiao, feeling uneasy in his heart.

In the next few days, Yuan Rushi was not seen, but Yuan Weiyang met a few times. Xu Ying asked Yuan Rushi, and Yuan Weiyang said: "My sister-in-law was punished by her mother for being naughty and was put in solitary confinement."

Xu Ying felt very uneasy, but without Yuan Ru by his side, he could finally rein in his wandering thoughts and concentrate on deciphering the code.

"The Scripture of Yuanshen's Preservation of Disasters".

After half a day, Xu Ying completed the deciphering and showed it to Yuan Weiyang. Yuan Weiyang read it again and said doubtfully: "This is a method for refining the soul and refining the soul, but it seems to be missing some content."

Xu Ying clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I can see it too. I followed the scriptures and speculated for a long time. The follow-up exercises should be the top priority, which is the method of combating evil! I thought of a way to repair it. Look like this

OK?"

He picked up a pen and wrote down a verse to make up for the shortcomings of the "Sutra of Yuan Shen Preserving Disasters". Yuan Weiyang thought about it for a long time and said: "There are still loopholes. If you modify it like this, Yuan Shen can save disasters and avoid disasters."

He picked up the pen and revised part of it. Xu Ying looked over, nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile: "I'll try the exercises first!"

The two of them each tried to activate the Yuan Shen to save the calamity. They felt something was wrong and corrected it.

After the two of them completed the Yuan Shen's Sutra for Combating Disasters, the two of them tried it out again. In just a short time, they were able to cultivate their souls. As for avoiding disasters, that was something they had to do after they had mastered the Yuan Shen.

Master Tan did not have the skills to cultivate the soul, so the soul was not very powerful. Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang completed the Yuan Shen's Disaster Spell, both of them felt that it was just a piece of cake.

But they didn’t realize how significant this exercise is!

Xu Ying smiled and said: "I'm going to hand over the Yuan Shen Duo Jing to Prime Minister Pei. He must have been waiting for a long time."

Yuan Weiyang hesitated and said: "You must be careful when you go this time. Although Prime Minister Pei is generous, my Pei family is too big, and I am worried that other people will be unfavorable to you. I will ask Uncle Xiao to see you off."

Xu Ying said yes, called Dazhong and Qi, and rushed to Pei Mansion with Uncle Xiao.

Not long after, the steward of the Pei family came to greet him and invited Xu Ying to the study, where Pei Du was already waiting.

Xu Ying looked at him and saw that Pei Du's hair had grown thicker these days, and he seemed to have aged several years. He asked, "Is Mr. Pei worried?"

Pei Du smiled and said: "You can see it. I have been thinking about a big thing these days and I am undecided."

Xu Ying presented the "Yuan Shen Duo Jing" he had deciphered, and returned the original version to him, saying: "Xiang Pei will take a look first."

Pei Du calmly read through it, and after a long time, he fully understood the Sutra of Yuanshen Overcoming Disasters, and said: "Thank you so much, little friend Xu. Little friend Xu is worthy of being the person who helped the ancestor Baimei to overcome the calamity. This Sutra of Yuanshen Overcoming Disasters, my Pei family gathers

The disciples with the highest talents have gathered dozens of insights into

Years ago, I couldn’t decipher the scriptures as thoroughly as you did.”

Xu Ying smiled and said: "This scripture is incomplete."

Pei Du was shocked and lost his voice: "Incomplete?"

Xu Ying took out another scripture from his sleeve and said with a smile: "After I finished deciphering, I realized that the scripture on the gold paper was incomplete, so I completed it for you."

He did not mention Yuan Weiyang, but he was worried that if others knew that Yuan Weiyang was so smart, they would do something detrimental to him.

"The original Sutra of Yuan Shen to Combat Disasters only cultivates the soul and tempers the Yuan Shen, but it lacks the method of overcoming disasters, avoiding disasters and overcoming tribulations. So I helped you make up for it."

Xu Ying handed him the completed scriptures, stretched and said with a smile, "If you practice according to the original scriptures, although your soul is powerful and your soul is extraordinary, it will still be difficult to survive the disaster. But according to the

My revised practice should be fine."

Pei Du hurriedly flipped through it, and the scriptures revised by Xu Ying indeed contained many more mysteries than the previous version!

He couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he smiled and said, "Xu Xiaoyou, please come here."

He led Xu Ying to the inner room and saw a group of people in the inner room.

Unrolled ancient books.

Pei Du smiled and said: "I have been having a hard time deciding on one thing these days, and that is whether to murder Xu Xiaoyou."

Xu Ying was startled, and in his mind, Master Zhong said in a panic: "Calm down! The worst is that you will be seriously injured again, I will try my best to protect you and rush out of Pei's house! But A Ying, I can't steal your blood one, three, five, I will

I want four and six too!”

Pei Du said: "Xu Xiaoyou, please read these books first."

Xu Ying calmed down and stepped forward to look at them one by one. His face became more and more surprised. He couldn't help but think of Xu Jiaping, and his mind suddenly became confused and heavy.

When Pei Du saw this, he made a seal with his fingers, placed it between Xu Ying's eyebrows, and shouted: "Duh"

With a clear drink from him, Xu Ying's scattered consciousness was immediately put into order and he was freed from the collapse of his consciousness.

Pei Du's sleeves fluttered, and every time his arms paused, the seals on his hands and fingers changed accordingly, and he said: "Xu Xiaoyou, I will teach you a set of heart-centering seals. If you encounter this kind of situation again, you can cure it yourself."
