I rely on length to cultivate immortality

If Li Xiuchang remembered correctly, Senior Brother Chen Changsheng had only been a member for more than two hundred years, but Wenwen, who was a thousand years old, was born in Xianchen Sect.

And he said that he had spent most of his thousand-year life in Xianchen Sect.

This problem is already very obvious.

This means that Senior Brother Chen Changsheng had already been in Xianchen Sect a thousand years ago.

Senior Brother Chen Changsheng had lived in Xianchen Sect for at least a thousand years!

"Was Brother Turtle born in Donggeng District a thousand years ago?" Li Xiuchang asked.

He saw that the little turtle Wenwen was not so easy to fool, and should have realized that he might be trying to trick him.

But he was still willing to talk, so Li Xiuchang was of course willing to ask without hesitation.

"Of course." Wenwen affirmed, "It's also No. 32 in Donggeng District. Chen Turtle has a special liking for that house, just because it is the most remote house in Donggeng District."

"Senior Brother Chen...what is his cultivation?" Li Xiuchang asked carefully.

"How should I know." Wenwen wanted to roll his eyes, but his eyeballs were pure black, without whites.

"Don't you know Chen Turtle's character? How can he let people know his depth? Even if I know, it must be false information that he deliberately let me know."

Li Xiuchang thought it made sense, and stopped focusing on Chen Changsheng, and asked: "Do you know the other brothers in Donggeng District?"

"Among those old guys, only the cook and his wife are okay..." At this point, the little turtle suddenly stopped talking, "Okay, the old turtle came out to find me, let's talk next time."

Li Xiuchang nodded knowingly, guessing that it might be Brother Chen's spiritual consciousness that swept over, and got up to send the little turtle out the door.

Before leaving, the little turtle turned his head: "I agree to your previous proposal, I will come to teach you the formation when I have time in the future."

"Okay!" Li Xiuchang quickly agreed, and he could get the formation class for free again.

The little turtle's attainments in the formation are definitely not low, and he also masters a powerful secret method of preaching, and is definitely a good formation teacher.

After sending the little turtle away, Li Xiuchang's mind kept replaying the clues he had heard from the little turtle. They formed clues, but no matter how hard Li Xiuchang racked his brains, he could not connect them together.

"The little turtle is only a thousand years old, but Senior Brother Chen may not have come to Xianchen Sect a thousand years ago, but may have come earlier."

"Senior Brother Chen lived in No. 32, Donggeng District a thousand years ago, so he must have moved in as an outer sect disciple, which means that at least in the past thousand years, Senior Brother Chen has changed different identities and has been living in No. 32, Donggeng District."

"Since Senior Brother Chen is like this, I'm afraid the other neighboring senior brothers are similar."

However, it is still unknown what the purpose of the neighboring senior brothers is.

In order to confirm his guess, Li Xiuchang plans to check the information of the disciples who lived in Donggeng District in the past.

These materials are not available to everyone. Fortunately, there is Senior Brother Wang Long. Fortunately, Senior Brother Wang Long has worked in the outer sect reception for many years and his connections are still there.

That afternoon, Li Xiuchang received a document from Senior Brother Wang Long, which recorded the information of all the disciples who had lived in Donggeng District in the past five thousand years.

Li Xiuchang read it from the beginning and found that Donggeng District five thousand years ago was no different from other outer sect residential areas, and the occupancy rate was as high as 80% to 90%.

It was the same four thousand years ago.

Of those disciples who lived in Donggeng District at that time, very few entered the inner sect, and a small number of disciples became outer sect worshippers.

Of course, most disciples did not progress fast enough to enter the inner sect, and their skills never reached the third level. In the end, they died of old age in Donggeng District.

Birth, aging, illness and death are the normal state of life. Even if you cultivate immortality, you cannot live forever if you do not become an immortal.

In other words, even if you enter the inner sect or become an outer sect worshipper, how many people can become immortals?

From Li Xiuchang's modern mentality, living happily is the most important thing. Cultivating immortality in Xianchen Sect, even if you cannot become an immortal, at least you can live a stable and down-to-earth life, without having to worry and be looked down upon like many casual cultivators.

Moreover, compared with the short life of ordinary people, monks can at least have a lifespan of hundreds or even thousands of years, without being troubled by physical decline and diseases.

From this data, it can be seen that everything was normal in Donggeng District four or five thousand years ago, and there was no saying of curse.

This normality was gradually broken until more than two thousand years ago.

Li Xiuchang found that since more than two thousand years ago, the number of new disciples who moved into Donggeng District has gradually decreased, and some new disciples will move out after a while even if they move in.

As for why they moved out, this data did not reflect it, and Li Xiuchang had no way to find the answer.

There are only a handful of new disciples who can move into Donggeng District and settle down for a long time.

This has led to fewer and fewer new people coming into Donggeng District, leaving only some old people.

Some of these old people have become worshippers, and some have entered the inner gate.

The remaining old people have limited potential, and they have died of old age in Donggeng District one after another, which has led to fewer and fewer people living in Donggeng District.

When the last batch of old people left or died, there were only six people left in Donggeng District at the least.

This was the beginning of the curse. None of the six people entered the inner gate or became worshippers. They died one after another. The oldest was over 400 years old, and the youngest was over 100 years old.

During this period, new disciples occasionally moved in, but they either moved away quickly or stayed in the Donggeng District until they died.

Gradually, the rumor that Donggeng District was cursed began to spread, which directly led to a sharp drop in the number of new disciples who moved into Donggeng District. Even the disciples who moved in for a short time were rare.

In the past two thousand years, the number of permanent disciples in Donggeng District has been maintained between three and six, and it did not exceed six at its peak.

Li Xiuchang's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had discovered something interesting.

His spiritual sense swept through the successive residents of No. 32, Donggeng District over the past two thousand years.

"Chen Changsheng, Chen Yanjie, Er Dongze, Chen Wanshou, Li Dongfang..."

In the past two thousand years, most of the residents of No. 32, Donggeng District have lived for a long time. The shortest lived for more than two hundred years, and the longest lived for more than five hundred years, so there were not many residents.

But most of these residents were surnamed Chen.

"Are these not all the vests of Senior Brother Chen Changsheng?"

Li Xiuchang thought it was very likely.

In the past two thousand years, No. 32, Donggeng District has been occupied most of the time, and the total vacant time during this period may be less than a hundred years.

The situation is similar to that of No. 1, Donggeng District. It has been occupied for most of the past two thousand years, and most of the residents are surnamed Zhang.

"It seems that most of the people who have lived in No. 1, Donggeng District are aliases of Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi."

There is no regularity in the occupancy of other houses.

After all, Senior Brothers Motu and Gui Wuyan are not like Senior Brothers Chen and Zhang.

Chen Changsheng and Zhang Wanzhi are low-key and show-off.

But Motu and Gui Wuyan must have been hiding in Donggeng District in the past two thousand years.

These clues alone are enough to confirm Li Xiuchang's guess.

The neighboring senior brothers moved into Donggeng District more than two thousand years ago, and they kept changing their aliases, playing the drama of entering the Donggeng District as a new disciple and then dying of old age.

It's just because they don't want to enter the inner gate or be the outer gate worshiper.

Over time, it created the illusion that Donggeng District is cursed.

In fact, they died and came back, and died again, over and over again.

"According to the number of permanent residents in Donggeng District in recent years, there should be six neighboring brothers."

But even if Li Xiuchang counts Lu Yang who just came recently, there are only five neighboring brothers in Donggeng District.

Who is the other one?

Li Xiuchang looked at the information again and found that there was always a female disciple living in Donggeng District for more than 2,000 years.

"So the last person is a senior sister?"

For 2,000 years, Donggeng District did not always maintain six permanent residents. At the least, there were only three people living there.

So it is not surprising that there is one less now.

Li Xiuchang sorted out the clues in his mind and finally learned more about the mysterious neighboring brothers.

This is a gang!

A gang of six people, five men and one woman, powerful and mysterious.

As for the background of several people, Li Xiuchang currently only knows that Senior Brother Motu is a demon cultivator from the new demon path, and Senior Brother Gui Wuyan was a Buddhist cultivator for a period of time.

That's all.

"Next time, find an opportunity to see if you can get more information from the little turtle."

At present, the little turtle is the only way for Li Xiuchang to understand several senior brothers.

In addition, all Li Xiuchang can think of is to check the relevant information, such as the relevant information of the new magic cultivator, to see if he can find a person who matches Senior Brother Motu.

There is also Senior Brother Gui Wuyan, who abandoned Buddhism and followed Taoism, and is also a fortune teller. There should not be many people who meet these conditions.

Li Xiuchang destroyed the information in his hand and told Senior Brother Wang Long to keep it secret.

Senior Brother Wang Long asked curiously: "Junior brother, what do you want these materials for?"

"Nothing, just study the curse of Donggeng District." Li Xiuchang said perfunctorily.

"Junior brother, do you also feel trapped by the curse?" Wang Long said in surprise.

"No, no, just prepare for a rainy day."

Wang Long was a little relieved, but still advised Li Xiuchang to consider moving out of Donggeng District.

Li Xiuchang promised to consider it, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, he now knows what the so-called curse is.

After talking about this topic, Wang Long suddenly said mysteriously: "Junior brother, have you heard about what happened to Senior Brother Chu Ya recently?"

Wang Long is well-informed and likes to share gossip with Li Xiuchang. He is a person who loves to eat gossip and is happy to share gossip.

"What happened to Senior Brother Chu Ya?" Li Xiuchang asked curiously.

"I heard that Senior Brother Chu Ya was attacked by someone in the sect a few days ago!"

Li Xiuchang's first reaction was disbelief. Senior Brother Chu Ya was born in a prominent family. The ancestor of the Chu family behind him was said to be one of the supreme elders of Xianchen Sect.

Who dares to attack Senior Brother Chu Ya in Xianchen Sect?

Are you tired of living?

Not to mention Senior Brother Chu Ya, even ordinary outer disciples have never heard of anyone being attacked in the sect. The public security of Xianchen Sect is still very good.

"It's true!" Wang Long vowed, "It is said that the weapon used by the attacker was a frying pan."
