"The people of ancient times lived for a hundred years in spring and autumn, but their movements did not decline." Ye Fan closed the "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" and was fascinated by the ancient times recorded in the Plain Questions Chapter.
There were no detailed and accurate written records about the ancient times. For modern people, it was an ancient history filled with endless fog, causing people to be lost in reverie.
A cool breeze blew, and the parasol trees in the courtyard gently swayed. The lush branches and leaves made a rustling sound, and fresh air blew in from outside the window.
Ye Fan liked to read "strange" books very much. He made a cup of light green tea and continued to read the ancient book in his hand.
"Mortals can live for a hundred years, but their movements do not show signs of aging. The ancient times, what kind of mysterious ancient history is this … "
As a modern person, he naturally did not believe in the age of the ancients recorded in the Plain Questions Chapter. What he was curious about was why the "ancient" era that the ancients yearned for was vaguely mentioned in many ancient books. It seemed that there was an ancient civilization shrouded in endless fog that disappeared in the long river of history.
Could it be that there really was an unknown ancient history? After a short moment of reverie, he continued to read.
The "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" was a rare ancient book. It was written thousands of years ago and was one of the three great ancient books of China. Although the whole book could not be completely trusted, it could be said that it was extremely valuable.
"Raise the heaven and earth, grasp the yin and yang, breathe the essence, guard the mind independently, and the muscles as one. Therefore, one can live as long as the heaven and earth. There is no end, and this is the way of life."
The Plain Questions Chapter mentioned many times that in the ancient times, there were people who understood the changes of the heaven and earth, cultivated essence, and could live forever. Modern people simply could not believe it.
Unknowingly, the red sun gradually set in the west, and the evening glow sprinkled down, dyeing the lawn and parasol trees outside the window with a faint layer of red.
Ye Fan put down the "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" in his hand and prepared to attend an important class reunion.
It had been three years since he left the university campus. Ye Fan had stayed in this city after graduation. Looking back, the simple and pure school days were gone forever.
Three years wasn't a long time, but it wasn't a short time either. His former classmates had already gone their separate ways, and everyone had their own paths in life.
The melodious ringtone of his cell phone interrupted his train of thought. It was a call from his classmate, Lin Jia. She was a very smart and beautiful woman. After graduation, she went to a neighboring city. Relying on her extraordinary methods, she had been promoted to a department manager a year ago.
Just as he pressed the answer button, he heard Lin Jia's teasing tone. Back in university, Lin Jia had displayed outstanding social skills, and it was very easy for her to get close to others.
"What? Did you miss me?" Ye Fan easily countered.
A melodious laughter came from the other side. "I'm not too sure about the location of the gathering. Let's go together later."
After deciding on a place to meet, Ye Fan drove out. When he was in university, he had once pursued Lin Jia, but he was tactfully told that the two of them weren't suited for each other.
Lin Jia was a very beautiful and moving woman. Moreover, her shrewdness and rationality far surpassed her beauty. She clearly knew what she needed and what she should do. It could be said that she was very realistic.
There were still ten minutes until the appointed time. Ye Fan found a parking space in front of the Parkson Shopping Mall, got out of the car, and went to the roadside to wait for Lin Jia.
The entire city was bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. Many of the buildings were covered in a layer of pale golden luster. The streets were filled with an endless stream of cars and streams of people.
Seven or eight minutes later, a Toyota stopped by the roadside, revealing a beautiful and delicate face. Lin Jia opened the door and walked over.
Ye Fan greeted her with a smile. "There's even a private car to pick you up."
"Don't be sarcastic. I don't have a private car driver. That's our classmate, Liu Yunzhi."
Although they had kept in touch from time to time in the three years since graduation, they had only met once two years ago. Lin Jia was as youthful and beautiful as ever. She was dressed very casually. Skinny jeans paired with a purple t-shirt outlined the curves of her slender and beautiful body, making her look even more graceful.
"It's been more than two years since we last met. How are you?" Lin Jia's beautiful hair fell to her shoulders, black and supple. She was born with a pair of red phoenix eyes. Under the cover of her long eyelashes, they were slightly slanted upwards. Naturally, she had a special charm, charming and moving.
"I'm fine." Ye Fan smiled and teased, "Lin Jia, you're a natural beauty. If you don't go into the entertainment industry, you'll be letting yourself down."
"You're asking for a beating, aren't you?" Lin Jia's smile was very moving. Her red phoenix eyes were slanted, rippling with light. Her red lips were also very sexy and charming.
At this time, the window of the Toyota stopped by the roadside rolled down. A familiar face appeared in the driver's seat. It was his former classmate, Liu Yunzhi.
Like Ye Fan, he stayed in this city after graduation. Thanks to the care of a relative with some background, he opened a small company and could be considered as someone with some achievements among his classmates.
Although they were both in the same city, he had practically no contact with Ye Fan. The main reason was because of a conflict during their university days.
Liu Yunzhi did not get out of the car. He faintly smiled and said, "Long time no see."
"Yeah. Let's meet up when we have time. "Seeing that the other party had not even gotten out of the car, Ye Fan also calmly greeted him.
"You took a taxi here?"
Ye Fan was too lazy to bicker with this kind of natural contempt, so he casually responded with a grunt.
Lin Jia was a very astute and quick-witted woman. Naturally, she could feel the atmosphere before her. She smiled at Ye Fan and said, "This time, I rushed here in a hurry. I called several of my old classmates who stayed in this city. Let's take Liu Yunzhi's car and leave together."
Before Ye Fan could say anything, Liu Yunzhi already spoke up first with a slightly apologetic tone. "I'm really sorry. I've already made an appointment with two other old classmates. It's just up ahead at the intersection, but it seems there aren't enough seats."
"It's fine. You go first, I'll be there soon." Ye Fan finished speaking and turned to Lin Jia with a smile. "Come with me, or …"
As Lin Jia hesitated, Liu Yunzhi urged, "Beauty Lin, why don't you take my car first? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be drowned in people's saliva."
After standing by the side of the road for a few minutes, Lin Jia expressed her apologies to Ye Fan. Under Liu Yunzhi's urging, she finally got into the Toyota.
The moment the car window was raised, Ye Fan could vaguely hear Liu Yunzhi's disdainful whisper. "It's rush hour right now. It'd be strange if I could wait for a taxi!" Then, the Toyota sped away, leaving a trail of dust in its wake.
In the past, Ye Fan could be considered an influential figure on the university campus. Today, however, he was thought to have taken a taxi here. Compared to Liu Yunzhi, he naturally appeared somewhat down and out.
Regarding people like Liu Yunzhi, he simply ignored them. Instead, Lin Jia's performance surprised him.
However, everyone had their own way of life. After all, people had to live in reality. Naturally, they would have their own utilitarianism, self-respect, vanity, and so on. Thus, Ye Fan didn't feel too disgusted.
The red sun had already set below the horizon. The sky, which seemed to have been dyed red by blood, gradually darkened. The entire city seemed to have been draped in a thick layer of dusky clothing. The curtain of night was about to fall.
At this very moment, nine gigantic dragon corpses were pulling a giant bronze coffin across the pitch-black and ice-cold universe. This shocking scene seemed to be eternally frozen in time!
Several astronauts aboard the International Space Station had already transmitted this world-shaking information back to Earth and were waiting for further instructions.
