Work time flies by, and before we know it, it's April 12th. After this Friday, tomorrow will be the day I had arranged to meet Peng Yuanyuan.
In the past few days, Li Nan has tried her best, but Gao Siming's answer has remained the same: "We'll see when the time comes. If I'm in a good mood, I'll come!"
On the other hand, Peng Yuanyuan had already taken the initiative to call and invite the two of them to her home on Saturday afternoon.
The arrow is already on the bowstring and must be released; it's truly embarrassing for someone who can't cook!
Li Nan wondered if she should find a few recipes on Quyin now and try them out tomorrow. Was it too late?
Surely Brother Gao wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die, right?
Huh? Since Peng Yuanyuan "took the initiative" to invite the two of them, could it be that she thinks the same way as them and is already burning incense in front of the Buddha?
Li Nan was flipping through the music haphazardly when suddenly a strong reminder caught her eye.
"The new video for Blood Rose, 'The Blooming Everlasting Flower,' has been updated. Welcome to watch, everyone!"
"Blood Rose has been updated!"
Li Nan immediately clicked on the video!
"Family members, how are you all? Poor Rose is being throttled. I wasn't planning on updating videos anymore, but Rose can't bear to leave you all, so here's a new video today!"
"It seems we've alerted them. But since Blood Rose already knows we're watching her, why does she dare release a new video? Is it a provocation or a declaration of war?"
Li Nan thought for a moment and continued reading.
"Today, Rose will tell you a myth! A story about immortality!"
In ancient times, in a remote mountain village, lived an elderly couple in their twilight years.
The couple has been married for over forty years and has always been loving and supportive of each other.
Time flies, and before they could forget the beauty of their youth, the two had already reached the end of their lives.
Due to old age and frailty, the elderly woman Wang Feiyan unfortunately fell ill and became bedridden, on the verge of passing away.
Old man Wang Daniu was extremely reluctant to part with her, and took meticulous care of her day and night, by her bedside.
But how can a person withstand the ravages of time and illness?
As time passed, Wang Feiyan's health deteriorated day by day as she lay in bed.
Every day, Da Niu not only took care of Fei Yan's diet and medicine, but also prayed to heaven three times a day and night, asking for a miracle so that the two could stay together for a few more years.
Prayer is usually just a way to comfort oneself, but then a miracle happens.
On a clear evening, Da Niu, who was tending to Fei Yan by her bedside, seemed to hear a call from the gods.
"Big Ox, Big Ox!"
Following the voice in his heart, Wang Daniu arrived in front of the house and saw an extraordinary-looking immortal sitting on auspicious seven-colored clouds.
Upon seeing the deity, Wang Daniu was overwhelmed with emotion and immediately knelt down in worship: "Merciful and compassionate deity! Please save my wife!"
Wang Daniu's sincerity seemed to have truly moved the gods, and the god in the clouds spoke up: "Wang Daniu, I am a Primordial Golden Immortal. Today, I am passing by and seeing your deep love for your wife, I hereby bestow upon you an elixir of immortality!"
"Thank you, God! Thank you, God!" Wang Daniu touched his forehead to the ground, expressing his sincere gratitude.
"You mortals are not worthy of the supreme elixir. Now I will bestow upon the soybean its unparalleled medicinal power. Follow my method, and after forty-nine days, your wife will be reborn!"
After saying this, the immortal waved his right hand, and a ray of light disappeared into the bamboo basket under the eaves. Wang Daniu knew that it was the basket he used to store soybeans.
After bestowing the rosy light, the immortal pointed at the kneeling Wang Daniu, and the method of using soybeans appeared in Daniu's mind as if by divine intervention.
Having received a divine gift, Wang Daniu kowtowed even more loudly.
The immortal in the clouds remained calm and composed, neither saddened nor pleased, and said indifferently, "The elixir I bestowed upon you and the method of its use are to be known only to you and your husband, and must not be passed on to anyone else. When the flowers bloom on your bodies one day, I will return and take you both to heaven to enjoy eternal bliss!"
After the immortal finished speaking, his figure faded away with the clouds, while Wang Daniu continued to kowtow and worship until the last ray of sunset disappeared on the horizon, at which point he happily rose up.
Arriving under the eaves, I opened the bamboo basket, and sure enough, there were more than ten shiny soybeans inside, quite different from the others.
Wang Dani counted them carefully, and there were exactly fourteen!
According to the method of immortality in his mind, it was just enough for the two of them.
Wang Daniu's village is remote and sparsely populated, and the miracle he just witnessed did not seem to attract the attention of the surrounding villagers.
Wang Daniu picked out all the longevity beans, carefully hid them in his bosom, turned around and bowed deeply once again to the place where the immortals had disappeared!
The story, which began but never ended, abruptly stopped here. In the video, Blood Rose did not shed tears of blood, but instead asked somewhat sadly, "Family members watching on the screen? Do you believe in the ethereal legends of immortality? How exactly can seven soybeans save a dying person, bring them back to life, or even grant them immortality?"
Blood Rose paused, but didn't say what Li Nan was thinking: "To be continued!"
"Whether the art of immortality is true or false, Rose doesn't know. Whether soybeans can flower, Rose has never heard of. However, some myths are not just stories!"
Through the mask, Blood Rose chuckled, "Alright, Rose, let's tell the family the ending. Wang Daniu carefully tended to the longevity beans according to the method given by the immortals. After forty-nine days, the soybeans indeed bloomed into blood-red flowers."
"Petals scattered, and out emerged a young Wang Feiyan..."
"Years later, when Wang Daniu was critically ill, under Feiyan's same care, he regained his youth after forty-nine days..."
"But on this day, the gods did not appear to take them away, and Mr. and Mrs. Wang Daniu did not feel the slightest loss or sadness."
