Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Time passed quickly, and soon more than a decade had passed.

Xiang Nan, Xiao Yue, Lu Su, Yu Shu and others traveled around the world, and it can be said that they were all very surprised.

In the vast forests of Siberia, you can't see a city even if you walk for days and nights. Only some tribes live there, living a very primitive life; there are so many ice bears, seals, walruses, and such big moose in the Arctic...

The Romans lived so carefree. Pompeii had only such a small population, but there were so many places of devotion. And the whole city was painted with fertility worship...

The pyramids in Egypt were so high, but they were only used to bury one person; the East African savannah had so many rhinos, elephants, and giraffes; and Australia had such amazing kangaroos, koalas and platypuses...

There are thousands of miles of fertile land in North and South America, but there are not many big cities. There are only some tribes that gather together to form a very primitive city-state...

After returning to the Middle Earth, Xiang Nan and his friends went to see Gaoyao again.

But they saw that Gaoyao's life now can be said to be extremely luxurious.

He lived in a luxurious house, which was even smaller than the royal palace. He had hundreds of servants to serve him, Xiaozhen and Xiaoqing. He also had tens of thousands of acres of fertile land under his name, which was handed over to thousands of tenants for cultivation.

"What are you doing, playing COSPLAY?" Xiang Nan couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

After Gao Yao took the elixir of immortality, his body was always in the best condition. He could go without food, water or rest. Therefore, there was no need to have a bunch of people to serve him. He also had so many fields and tenants... He was just full and had nothing to do.

"Play, what else can I do?" Gao Yao smiled, "Now I am the boss of this family. I can scold whoever I want, beat whoever I want, play whoever I want... No one can control me. Isn't this very cool? It's much better than playing video games, I tell you."

Xiang Nan nodded.

Power is indeed addictive.

This is also the reason why many people still cling to retirement even though they have reached retirement age.

They are not after the salary, but they are unwilling to give up the power in their hands.

In that position, they can call a hundred people to respond, and their words are as good as gold. Once they leave that position, they are just ordinary retired old men. Maybe they still have some face, but they are used less and less, and even the tea is cold as soon as they leave.

"As long as you are happy." Xiang Nan nodded.

He didn't care about Gao Yao's affairs. Gao Yao's current behavior seems absurd and unrestrained, but in fact, it is very normal in the long river of history.

It's just annexing some land, beating and scolding a few slaves, and bullying a few maids. It's not a bad thing.

Shi Chong of the Western Jin Dynasty, when he was the governor of Jingzhou, actually led the army to rob merchants, and thus became a wealthy man. He had a banquet with guests and arranged beautiful women to persuade them to drink. If the guests didn't drink, he would kill the beautiful women.

When Wang Dun and Wang Dao went to the banquet, Wang Dun could drink but refused to drink. As a result, Shi Chong killed three beauties in a row, but Wang Dun remained calm, "He killed all his people, what does it have to do with me?"

Song Taizu's brother-in-law Wang Jixun was tired of eating chicken, duck, fish and meat, and changed his appetite to eat people, especially young and beautiful maids. He cut meat from them and ate hundreds of people in a similar way to lingchi...

Compared with these people, Gao Yao was quite normal.

As long as he didn't become a murderer or change into titanium like Emperor Shitian, Xiang Nan would let him go.

...

Time passed quickly, one year, two years, three years, and four years. Soon, Emperor Gaozu of Han died, Emperor Hui of Han succeeded to the throne, and Lü Zhi ruled the country from behind the curtain in the name of the queen mother.

Afterwards, Lü Zhi also brought Emperor Hui of Han to Zhongnan Mountain to pay homage, hoping to meet Xiang Nan, the immortal, and her sister Lü Su.

She had been separated from Lü Su for more than 20 years, and she still missed her sister. Of course, she wanted to learn some methods of seeking immortality and longevity from her sister.

Then, she would be able to enjoy wealth and honor forever.

However, Xiang Nan also did not meet her and Emperor Hui of Han. He just sent Lü Su to ride a crane down the mountain and tell Lü Zhi a message, "Forgive others when you can."

Because after Lü Zhi was in power, in order to consolidate her power, she conferred many titles on the Lü clan as kings. Her brothers, nephews, sons-in-law, grandsons... were all conferred as kings.

Liu Bang's relatives were suppressed by her, and she also successively eliminated Han Xin, Peng Yue and other meritorious ministers, and even made Liu Bang's beloved concubine, Lady Qi, into a human pig.

Such a crazy and inhumane act is extremely rare in history. So much so that her son, Emperor Hui of Han, was deeply frightened and eventually died of worry.

Xiang Nan hoped that Lü Zhi would not be so cruel and mean, and forgive others when she could. Keeping a line for others so that we can meet again in the future is not only good for others, but also good for yourself.

You should know that it was because Lu Zhi was too ruthless that after her death, Liu Bang's descendants joined the court officials to oppose the Lü clan. In the end, the Lü clan was almost exterminated, which was also the retribution of Lu Zhi.

…

Lü Su then followed Xiang Nan's words, rode a crane to Lü Zhi, and handed the bamboo slips with "forgive others when you can" written in it to Lü Zhi.

"I haven't seen you for 24 years, sister, you are still so young." Lü Zhi looked at Lü Su and said in surprise.

After more than 20 years, Lü Su has hardly changed, still so young and beautiful, without any wrinkles on her face. It is really worthy of seeking immortality from the gods. It is true that there is a way to keep your face and live forever.

"Do we know each other?" Lü Su asked strangely when she saw her say that.

"How could I not recognize you? I'm your sister." Seeing her say that, Lv Zhi said excitedly.

Lv Su shook her head, "I didn't know I had a sister. You probably recognized the wrong person."

"Sister, I am indeed your sister. My name is Lv Zhi, your name is Lv Su, and our father is Lv Gong. How come you don't remember anything? Before my father died, he also told me to find you." Lv Zhi said excitedly.

"Really?" Seeing that she was so excited and didn't seem to be faking it, Lv Su had to be skeptical, "Okay, I will do an investigation. I have also passed the message, you take care of yourself." After that, he rode away on the crane again.

"Sister, sister~" Seeing this, Lv Zhi hurriedly shouted, but she couldn't call Lv Su back, so she had to leave helplessly.

...

Lv Su returned to the villa and asked Xiang Nan about her family.

Xiang Nan didn't answer and directly erased her memory.

For Lv Su, there was no benefit in recognizing her relatives with Lv Zhi.

Lu Zhi was a sinister, selfish and cruel person. If the sisters recognized each other, Lu Zhi would definitely try to find out the secret of Lu Su's immortality.

If Lu Su told her, it would arouse her covetousness; if she didn't tell her, it would lead to a break in the relationship between the sisters. Both would cause a lot of trouble.

In "Journey to the West", "the trouble started in Guanyin Temple" was because Sun Wukong showed off the brocade cassock. And "immortality" is more attractive than the brocade cassock, so naturally we can't be careless.
