Chapter 187 The Meaning of Longevity

The most important thing that video games give players is the rewards after the battle. These rewards can be skills or weapons and equipment, but the most important thing is to have them.

The branch line of longevity is the favorite of Chen Tiancai and Feng Bi in "Legend Chang'an", so what reward will it give?
A huge white treasure chest appeared in front of Barlow. Although it was a bit abrupt, this treasure chest still made Barlow smile.

【The broken teeth of the white snake (be careful, the dripping white liquid is highly poisonous. You can go to the Western Region weapons dealer in Chang'an City to order a sword from the perspective of its sharpness.)】

[White Snake's Reverse Scales (The huge scales protect this magical creature. You can use it to make a pair of armor, but the best defense is always offense.)]

[White snake’s flesh and blood × 5 (This may not be a rare thing in this cave, but outside, it is definitely a rare treasure. You can go to the medicine shop in Chang’an City to find a doctor to learn about it.)]

[White Snake's Eyes×2 (My God, if you say that these are the eyes of Shenlong, I will believe it. These eyes are mighty and beautiful, and they deserve a very good price.)]

[Broken standard Tang knife——(This knife belonged to a loyal guard who sacrificed himself for his master. There is an ugly little flower engraved on the handle of this knife, which may be a child prank.)]

Originally, Barlow was excited about opening the treasure chest, but when he saw the last item, he fell into deep thought.

The entourage who blew himself up in Shekou left a deep impression on him. Although the death of this entourage is only described in detail in the plot, one can imagine how many unknown entourages died along the way.

Click on 'Broken Standard Tang Dao', and a small task pops up:

【Although the people of Tang are pioneering and forging ahead, they still want to return to their roots in the bottom of their hearts. To bring this broken weapon back to his family in Chang'an, at least it can be a tomb of clothes. 】

After accepting this small task, Barlow felt a little calmer.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, it’s ridiculous to feel sad because of the virtual characters in the game, but this is also one of the joys of those players with more delicate minds.

Immersed in the plot of the game, feel the joys and sorrows of these virtual characters, and then understand some truths in reality through these, which can bring more satisfaction to players like Barlow.

Judging from the whole story line of 'Longevity', this is a very long task.Barlow checked the time, it was already two o'clock in the morning, he had been playing for almost eight hours, and his wife was sleeping at his son's house tonight, which is why he was in a hurry to move the ps5 back tonight.

"Although the first half of the plot is a bit visual, but from the road here, every plot point is excellent, but it is a pity that the pursuit of 'longevity' in the game has failed. But through this story, you can feel the ancient times of China , people’s persistence in pursuing one thing.”

According to professional habits, Barlow paused the game and wrote down his preliminary feelings instead of rushing to watch the final CG animation.

The last comment he did not write was too harsh, although the character Li Daoshi gave him a bad feeling, and he even felt that he had better die, otherwise there would be many people like his entourage dying in the pursuit of 'longevity'.

This should be the feeling of ordinary players. From the perspective of game editing, Barlow will not bring himself into it.

But this feeling of hating Taoist Li is what Chen Tiancai wants to give players, because in real history, the rulers of the feudal dynasty did spend a lot of manpower and material resources to do this.

Judging from the results, the efforts of these emperors are obviously in vain, and many emperors will die under various strange medicines because of their pursuit of longevity.

Therefore, at the end of the feudal dynasty, most emperors also knew that this was an illusory thing, and few people did it anymore.

Everything in the Tang Dynasty is naturally beautiful, but Chen Tiancai feels that the history must be officially past, and he can't see the good points, so he forgets some bad things.

However, Chen Tiancai also used people like his followers to tell players what kind of perseverance and loyalty the Tang people had at that time, as well as the spirit of not being afraid of death for their goals.

Naturally, no one in modern China believes in longevity anymore, but this special culture that has lasted for thousands of years still affects them. The ancestors are telling future generations what kind of strength you should use in pursuit of one thing.

Of course, there are also various good side missions in "Legend Chang'an", and it will also introduce the Chinese culture at that time to players from various aspects.

Pressing the pause button again, Barlow started watching the final animation.

Su Tong dug Daoshi Li out of the ice and found that he was still breathing, but because he was covered by the ice when he was unconscious, his body did not curl up.

Therefore, three or two relatively large ice cubes hit his leg directly, and the blood of the royal family was left on the cold ground. Daoshi Li's legs must have been broken, and the calf bone of one leg had already been exposed. Looks horrible.

Su Tong quickly wrapped up his wound, and then carried him over the pile of crushed ice behind him, to the front of the Kunlun Divine Lake.

When they came, there were piles of people and horses, but when they left, there was only a scarred warrior and a comatose man with short legs.

Standing on the edge of the Kunlun Divine Lake, Su Tong lost his eyes. At this time, the mist on the Divine Lake has been blown away by the wind, and the huge sun is rising from the distant horizon...

So far, the side mission of 'Longevity' is over.

Barlow felt very satisfied with Taoist Li's final punishment. Although it was a pity that he did not die, even if he survived, he was still a cripple with both legs broken, which was enough to relieve his anger.

Later, the game uses several sets of animation clips to tell the end of this quest line.

Su Tong first took Li Daoshi to find the officers and soldiers of Datang, then he handed Li Daoshi over to the army guarding here, and returned to Chang'an by himself.

The huge city reappeared in the game screen, which made Barlow have the desire to build new weapons quickly.

However, the game hadn't returned to his control at this time, and Su Tong rode his horse for a stroll all the way, passing through the bustling street, and came to a relatively remote alley.

The buildings here were very simple, and it looked like a place where civilians lived. After Su Tong found the target, he immediately dismounted and stood in front of a house.

It was early in the morning, and smoke was rising from the courtyard. A woman could be heard calling the children to get up, and then the noise between mother and child could be heard, but it was vaguely possible to hear the clear laughter of children.

The game camera zoomed in, Su Tong knocked on the door, and then a burst of hurried footsteps came from far and near, and one of the lighter footsteps ran the fastest.

Perhaps for such people, apart from Su Tong who opened the door to announce the funeral, such a peaceful and warm morning is the long-term life they need.
