Chapter 1317 Two hundred years old

"Wang Xuance offered the monk Pomei. At first, His Majesty also doubted whether he could really be buried alive, so he asked someone to bury him in a big urn. Now it has been seven days. Today, we are summoned to the palace. Your Majesty wants us to see Pomei's magical powers with his own eyes." Changsun Wuji and Li Xiu spoke as they walked.

"As expected, the monk did have some real skills. According to Xuanzang, only by practicing the yoga technique in India to an extremely advanced state can one achieve the level of burying alive and immortality. This is a bit similar to Taoist fasting." Li Xiu also walked and smiled. They received Li Shimin's summons today and entered the palace. As a result, Changsun Wuji was waiting for him in front of the palace gate, in order to exchange the information they received before meeting Li Shimin.

"The world is so big, and there are actually people who can be buried alive. And I heard that some monks from India were buried alive for decades and still maintained their appearance when they were dug out, without getting old at all. Couldn't this be used to extend their lifespan?" Changsun Wuji actually showed an envious expression at this time. Although he was younger than Li Shimin, he was slowly entering old age, which made him feel a little afraid of aging.

"Haha, people like Pomei have turned themselves into a stone, which can extend their lifespan. Instead of living like this, I think it's better to live happily and live a lifetime more exciting!" Li Xiu smiled calmly when he heard this. He had obviously had a deeper understanding of life and had no interest in the so-called immortality.

"This is true. Although turtles live long, if they live like turtles for hundreds or thousands of years, they are far less exciting than life in just decades!" Changsun Wuji woke up when he heard Li Xiu's words, and nodded in agreement.

While speaking, Li Xiu and the others finally arrived at Liangyi Hall. However, before they entered the hall, they saw a large urn outside the hall gate. This large urn should be used for storing water in the palace. The main reason is that the palace is made of wooden structures and is very prone to fire. Therefore, there are such large urns filled with water everywhere in the palace. If a fire occurs, it will be convenient for the people in the palace to get water to put out the fire. However, the big urn is now sealed, and it is estimated that the Po Mei is inside.

At that moment, Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji entered Liangyi Hall, but found that in addition to Li Shimin, Li Zhi, Chu Suiliang, Gao Jifu and others were also here. It seemed that this monk also aroused the interest of important officials of the Tang Dynasty, so they were all invited by Li Shimin to watch.

"Li Xiu, Wu Ji, you guys are finally here. Now we're waiting for you. Let's go and see if this monk from India is still alive?" Li Shimin was also very excited at this time. When he saw Li Xiu and the others come in, he laughed.

Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji both nodded and said yes. Then, under the leadership of Li Shimin, the group came out of the Liangyi Hall and came to the big urn outside the hall. They saw that the big urn was sealed with a thick lid, wrapped with iron chains several times, and a heavy lock was hung on it.

Li Shimin ordered people to take the key, and then asked the guards to open the lock. After removing the iron chain, they removed the lid on the large urn. As a result, the urn was filled with loess. It was estimated that the Pomei was buried in the land.

Li Shimin was very anxious and did not let someone pour out the soil inside. Instead, he directly broke the jar with an iron hammer. The loess inside immediately scattered like a tomb mound. Then several guards immediately came forward to dig it out. In a short while, the monks and wowed out of the soil.

I saw Pomei sitting cross-legged, maintaining this position even when she was lifted out. Her body was covered with thick loess, and she could not see her original appearance, nor could she see her life or death. At this time, Li Shimin ordered someone to fetch water, and then wiped Pomei's body for a while, then she revealed Pomei's true appearance.

Pomei is almost the same as when Li Xiu saw him lifting it out of the box. He looks like a corpse, but there are things in his ears and nose, probably to prevent the soil from entering.

Then Li Shimin asked someone to fill Pomei with some water, but as last time, as a strange noise came from Pomei's belly, he woke up immediately. Li Xiu found that Pomei woke up faster than last time, probably because he was buried alive for a shorter time this time, so he woke up faster.

Seeing that Pomei really came alive, Li Shimin and others all showed shocked expressions, and some people even showed a look of fear on their faces. After all, it is human instinct to be afraid of unknown things, and Pomei's performance has exceeded their cognition. Even only the legendary ghosts and gods can have such supernatural powers.

"See Your Majesty!" After Pomei woke up, he immediately stood up and saluted Li Shimin in that strange Chinese. Although he pretended to die for seven days, everything was as usual after waking up, but his voice became very dry.

"It's interesting, it's really fun to be able to come back from the dead!" Before Li Shimin could speak, Changsun Wuji had already taken the lead. However, when he opened his mouth, he turned Pomei's so-called "magic power" into a very interesting thing, just like some Indian artists on the street showing off their affair, without any awe.

"Pomei, how did you do it?" However, Li Shimin turned a deaf ear to Changsun Wuji's words. Instead, he asked Pomei with a serious expression, and even felt a little excited in his tone, which made Li Xiu next to him feel a little deeper. At the same time, he looked at Changsun Wuji, and both of them had a little worry.

"Your Majesty, as a Brahmin, I have been practicing extraordinary skills since I was a child. At the age of forty, I finally achieved immortal skills. It was precisely because of the immortal skills that I am over 200 years old but I still don't look old at all!" Pomei also bowed to Li Shimin at this time. Although he looked sloppy, he actually looked like a middle-aged man.

"Two hundred years old!" Hearing that this Pomei was already two hundred years old, it made the ministers around him feel noisy again. After all, in the Tang Dynasty, being able to live to be sixty years old could be called a long-lived person. If he could live to be eighty years old, it would be even rarer. If he lived to be over a hundred years old, it would be a sign of auspiciousness and was called "human auspiciousness". As for the age of two hundred, he could only appear in the legend. No one had seen it before him, but he didn't expect that there was one in front of him.
