Chapter 2: Su Wen

  "The people of ancient times, in spring and autumn, all lived to be over 100 years old, and their movements did not decline." Ye Fan combined the above with the "Huangdi Neijing", regarding the Suwen chapter's description of the serene and carefree spirit of the ancient era.

  There is no detailed and accurate written record of the ancient times, for modern people it is a piece of ancient history filled with endless mystery, making one think endlessly.

  A gentle breeze stirs, and the few Chinese parasol trees in the courtyard sway gently, their lush branches and leaves making a soft "shhh" sound, as fresh air blows in from outside the window.

  Ye Fan really liked reading "search for strange" type books, brewing a cup of light green tea, he began to continue flipping through the ancient book in his hand.

  "All men can live for a hundred years, and their actions show no signs of aging. In ancient times, this was a mysterious ancient history..."

  Regarding the age of ancient people recorded in Suwen, as a modern person, he naturally wouldn't believe it. What he was curious about was why the "ancient" era that the ancients yearned for was vaguely mentioned in many ancient books, as if a civilization shrouded in endless mystery had disappeared in the long river of history.

  Is there really an unknown ancient history? After a brief reverie, he continued reading.

  The Huangdi Neijing is a treasured ancient book, written thousands of years ago, and one of the three great mysterious books of ancient China. Although not everything in it can be trusted, overall it has extremely valuable content.

  "Carry heaven and earth, grasp yin and yang, call out the breath, stand alone to guard the spirit, muscles as one, thus able to live as long as heaven and earth, without end of time, this is the way of life."

  The Shanggu mentioned in Suwen has insight into the changes of heaven and earth, can refine and cultivate essence and energy, and can live forever. Modern people simply cannot believe it.

  Unconsciously, the red sun gradually sets in the west, and the evening glow falls, dyeing the lawn and Chinese parasol trees outside the window with a faint layer of reddish hue.

  Ye Fan put down the "Huangdi Neijing" in his hand and prepared to attend an important alumni gathering.

  It's been three years since I left the university campus. Ye Fan stayed in this city after graduation, and looking back on the past, the simple and pure student era is gone forever.

  Three years is a long time, yet it's also short. Former classmates have gone their separate ways, each with their own life trajectory.

  The pleasant ringtone of his mobile phone interrupted his thoughts, it was a call from his classmate Lin Jia, a very clever and beautiful woman, who went to the neighboring city after graduation and became the department manager a year ago with her exceptional skills.

  As soon as I pressed the answer button, I heard Lin Jia's teasing. She had shown excellent interpersonal skills since college and easily got close to people.

  "What's wrong, thinking of me?" Ye Fan countered lightly.

  A pleasant and moving laughter came from that side, saying: "I'm not quite sure where the gathering is, let's go together in a while."

  After agreeing on a meeting spot, Ye Fan drove out. In college, he had pursued Lin Jia, but was tactfully told that they were not suitable for each other.

  Lin Jia is a very beautiful and charming woman, but her cleverness and rationality surpass her beauty. She clearly knows what she needs and how to do it, can be said to be very realistic.

  There were still ten minutes before the agreed time, Ye Fan found a parking space in front of Baosheng Shopping Mall and got out of the car to wait for Lin Jia by the roadside.

  The entire city was bathed in the warm glow of sunset, with many buildings covered in a thin layer of golden light. The roads were filled with vehicles coming and going, and people flowed endlessly.

  Seven or eight minutes later, a Toyota car stopped by the roadside, revealing a beautiful and delicate face. Lin Jia opened the door and walked over.

  Ye Fan smiled and said, "There's even a special car to pick you up."

  "Don't tease me, I don't have a private driver, that's our classmate Liu Yunzhi."

  It's been three years since graduation, although we've kept in touch from time to time, but only met once two years ago. Lin Jia is still as youthful and beautiful as ever, wearing casual clothes, a pair of tight jeans with a purple tank top, outlining her slender and elegant figure even more curvaceous and graceful.

  "It's been over two years since we last met, are you doing well?" Lin Jiaxiu had shoulder-length hair that was as black as coal and silky smooth, shiny enough to reflect light. Her eyes were like those of a phoenix, slightly slanted upwards under her long eyelashes, giving off an especially charming aura that was both elegant and captivating.

  "It's okay." Ye Fan smiled and teased: "Lin Jia, you're so naturally beautiful, it's a waste not to develop yourself in the entertainment industry."

  "Want a fight?" Lin Jia smiled very attractively, her phoenix eyes slanted and gleaming, her red lips extremely seductive, utterly charming.

  At this time, the Toyota car stopped by the road lowered its window, and a familiar face appeared in the driver's seat. It was Liu Yunzhi, his classmate from the past.

  He is similar to Ye Fan, and after graduation, he stayed in this city. Thanks to the care of a relative with some background, he started a company that is not considered large, and among his classmates, he is considered to have achieved something.

  Although they were in the same city, he had almost no connection with Ye Fan, mainly due to a conflict during their university days.

  Liu Yunzhi didn't get off the car, smiled faintly and said, "Long time no see."

  "Yes. Let's get together sometime." Seeing that the other party hadn't even gotten out of their car, Ye Fan also just gave a bland greeting.

  "Did you take a taxi here?"

  For this kind of natural and blatant disdain, Ye Fan didn't bother to argue with him, and responded casually.

  Lin Jia was a rather astute and agile woman, naturally able to sense the atmosphere in front of her. She smiled at Ye Fan and said: "This time I rushed over in a hurry, called several old classmates who stayed in this city, let's take Liu Yunzhi's car together."

  Yue Fan hadn't said anything, and Liu Yunzhi had already spoken up with a hint of apology, saying: "I'm really sorry, I've already made plans to meet two other old classmates ahead of time, just at the intersection up ahead. It seems like there won't be enough seats."

  "It doesn't matter, you go first, I'll be right behind." Ye Fan said as he turned around and smiled at Lin Jia: "Walk with me, or..."

  Lin Jia hesitated for a moment, and Liu Yunzhi urged: "Lin, the beautiful girl, get in my car first, or I'm afraid you'll be drowned by people's gossip."

  After standing by the road for a few minutes, Lin Jia expressed some apologies to Ye Fan, and under Liu Yunzhi's urging, he finally got into the Toyota.

  As the car window rose, Ye Fan vaguely heard Liu Yunzhi's slightly disdainful low voice: "It's rush hour now, it's weird if we can get a taxi!" Then, the Toyota car disappeared in the dust.

  In the past, Ye Fan was a notable figure in the university campus, but today he is considered to be someone who has arrived by taxi, and compared to Liu Yunzhi, he naturally appears somewhat dispirited.

  As for Liu Yunzhi, he directly ignored him, but Lin Jia's performance was somewhat unexpected.

  However, everyone has their own attitude towards life. After all, people have to live in reality and naturally cannot avoid being utilitarian, self-respecting, and vain. Yefan didn't find it particularly repulsive either.

  The red sun has fallen below the horizon, and the sky that seemed to have been stained with blood gradually darkened, as if the entire city had put on a thick layer of grayish-brown clothes, and night was about to fall.

  At this moment, nine huge dragon corpses are pulling a bronze giant coffin, lying in the dark and cold universe. This shocking scene seems to be frozen there forever!

  Several astronauts inside the International Space Station have transmitted this earth-shaking information back to Earth and are waiting for further instructions.
