Fairy takeaway

The old man mentioned by Mr. Qiao Wu is called Xia Liliuo. Although the name sounds a little exotic, he is a native of China.At the age of seven, he was nominated for Best Actor for the Golden Cat Award for a literary film, becoming the youngest nominee in the history of domestic film.Afterwards, he successfully debuted as a child star and participated in countless popular works. His acting career has never been interrupted, and it has been 40 years so far.There are two full generations who grew up watching his works.

Xia Liliu's reputation can be said to be well-known in the country. It can almost be said that anyone who has something to do at home and has connected to the Internet in the village is familiar with his works.Of course, this range does not include those who are ignorant of human affairs.At least, the few people in front of Mr. Qiao Wu were all at a loss when they heard the words.It's none of Luo Xiang's business. After all, Mr. Malatang is young, and he and Mi are even younger, so he can't even speak fully.What about Tano?The little sea otter just watched Otter's first movie a few days ago, and human movies are completely unfamiliar to him.

Mr. Qiao Wu sighed to himself, what a bunch of country ghosts who don't understand anything.

He pretended to be patient on the surface, but secretly recounted the life story of Xia Lilio from the beginning to the end, enjoying the joy of sharing knowledge and experience, and focusing the attention of the audience on himself. pleasure.

All in all, Xia Lilio is a great movie star, at least ten years ago.This is because in the past ten years, this former well-known actor has almost no new works that can be produced.Although he is still participating in the acting, and even took the leading role, but it all ended with dismal ratings and box office, which led to a precipitous decline in his reputation in acting career, and some people even jokingly called him the new king of bad movies .Some media used to use "why the old film kings made bad movies so often" as a gimmick, pointing the finger at Xia Liliu for sacrificing word of mouth in exchange for income, and incidentally criticizing today's shoddy, perfunctory, and insincere film and television industry.

Of course, none of these negative news has affected Xia Lilio's other title that the audience likes to talk about: the old man.Due to the young age of his debut, almost every step of his growth is exposed to the spotlight, and Xia Liliu's age changes have nowhere to hide.But unlike other child stars who grow up and become disabled, Xia Liliu's appearance changes very little after adulthood, so small that it is almost negligible.

Netizens with good deeds once made a collection of classic photos taken by Xia Liliu every year since he was 20 years old, and compared them in detail.Everyone was surprised to find that his appearance as an adult can be said to be almost the same, and he still looks like a young man in his 40s in his 20s.And in the past few years, there has been a trend of getting older and younger, which is really amazing.

And this comparison chart was also made into an emoticon package in different contexts to ridicule the huge difference between Xia Liliu and his peers.Netizens discussed enthusiastically, how interesting and imaginative the memes are, and for a while, Xialiliu became popular again on the Internet in the new era.Rumors of the immortal man quickly spread to foreign networks, arousing the interest of local media, and even led to special reports such as "Why Asians don't look old" and "Asians who are afraid of aging".

The discussion of eternal youth is a common point of interest for all human beings. Whether it is an emperor, a general, or an ordinary person, no matter how calm they are in words and how open-minded their thoughts are, there will always be a certain moment in their lives. There is an uncontrollable curiosity and desire for longevity.This is an unavoidable common problem of human beings.It's a survival instinct of awareness of one's own limitations and the desire to push the envelope.

Therefore, like Xia Liliuo, who seems to be loved by the years and does not leave any traces on his face, is particularly eye-catching.Netizens with wide-open minds speculate about Xia Liliu's youthful youth, including Chinese and foreign, including food preservatives, immortality pills, immortal cultivation, spirit monsters, ultimate creatures, vampires, or even more secondary "this human body is more than The last one is more suitable for me."

The little sea otter raised his hand to interrupt Mr. Qiao Wu's story, asking what is a vampire and what is an ultimate creature.

Mr. Qiao Wu, who loves popular science, enthusiastically explained to him that the settings of vampires and ultimate creatures are similar to a certain extent. They both refer to a supernatural life form that can live forever by sucking the blood of others.

"It's usually biting the neck and rubbing it. It's very cool." Mr. Qiao Wu grinned and showed his teeth, gesticulating to imitate the movement of vampires pouncing on humans.

The little sea otter clutched his neck in fear.

"Don't cover it, you don't have a neck, don't worry." Luo Xiang gave the little sea otter a painful blow.

He Nuo glared at the little boss indignantly.Although his sea otter body is a bit chubby - fluffy, but he obviously has a neck when he becomes a human!

However, after listening to Mr. Qiao Wu's more detailed explanation, the little sea otter frowned unconsciously, worried in his heart, human beings are really smart, how could they make up so many strange stories?Could it be that they also thought that we could become spirits?How did we expose it?Although we become refined, we cannot live forever.Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at Luo Xiang.

With just one glance, Luo Xiang knew that the little sea otter's thoughts had diverged to an unknown direction again.He shook his head and said, "As far as I know, this Xia Liliuo should be just an ordinary human being, not a spirit."

Just as the little sea otter thinks, if ordinary spirits become spirits, no matter whether they can finally cultivate human form or not, they can only live as long as humans. If the spirit is in good condition, they can live to more than 120 at most years old, far less than the level of a long life of a hundred years.

If Xia Lilue is on the road of cultivating immortals, not to mention that today's path is unknown, spiritual power is scarce, and it is difficult to support the long journey of immortality. Since ancient times, there have been very few essences who can truly possess the qualifications of cultivating immortals.If such a genius really appeared, and he was in the most watched film and television industry in the human world, there would be no reason why the five major elite associations had been silent and did not respond to it after so many years.When a genius is born out of nowhere, there must be a vision. However, Luo Xian has guarded one side, watched the stars and surveyed the moon for many years, and has never observed the abnormality of the star orbits and the auspiciousness of the heavenly talents.

Therefore, this person must not be a sage.That being the case, he can only be human.However, ordinary human beings in this world cannot cultivate immortality.It is not uncommon if you just don't look old, or the aging speed is slower than most of your peers, most of which are caused by genes and living environment.But if the aging process has almost stopped or even shows signs of "reverse growth" like Xia Liliuo's, then his signs of aging will appear unusual, and there must be demons in abnormal things.

"Sounds terrible." Mr. Qiao Wu sighed, "I have been a spirit for so many years, and I have never heard of any fairy method that can make people live forever. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I could still regard it as a magic weapon. There are rumors in the market, even if you can see the photos, there will be a sense of unreality through the screen. Stories about gods and ghosts are always exaggerated, just listen to it.

But I have seen a real person, how can I describe that feeling, it feels like just looking at it makes the foundations deep in my soul tremble.It was horrible, this is a kind of shock out of fear that I have never felt elsewhere, and this should definitely not be the feeling that an ordinary human being brings to me. "

As Mr. Qiao Wu said, he met this immortal god on the set of a web drama.Although the script is adapted from an online IP novel and has its own traffic topics, as long as the quality is qualified, it can basically become popular for a while.However, web dramas are really not serious works for seniors with Xia Liliuo's qualifications. The unkind comments of netizens are "self-depreciation" and "loss of status".

At that time, Mr. Qiao Wu also thought that the rumor that Xia Liliuo took over the film contract was a rumor fabricated by netizens. He did not expect that he really got confirmation from his agent not long after, and on the first day of joining the group, he had a relationship with this old man. God has a rivalry.

The role of Xia Liliu is the ultimate villain of this play, and the character played by Mr. Qiao Wu is lured into the magic way by this ultimate villain. There is a lot of rivalry between the two.Because of this, Mr. Qiao Wu had the opportunity to have in-depth contact with Xialiliu.Putting aside the strange impression and strong sense of fear that Xia Liliu himself left on Mr. Qiao Wu when they first met, in fact, Xia Liliu can be regarded as a good senior in any respect.Mr. Qiao Wu also cherishes this opportunity to exchange and absorb experience with his predecessors.

During a chat, Mr. Qiao Wu accidentally mentioned the issue of age.I didn't expect Xiali to be quite interested.Under his intentional guidance, Mr. Qiao Wu revealed a lot of truths, and even teased himself with a little self-deprecation that he was suspected of age fraud because of his old-fashioned appearance when he debuted.Of course he knew his real age, but he just wanted to make a few jokes to brighten up the conversation.Unexpectedly, the other party said with a serious face that things like age are completely according to my wishes.

This sentence can be interpreted into many meanings, for example, a good attitude will naturally make you look younger and so on.But under the current weird atmosphere, Mr. Qiao Wu subconsciously thought that Xia Liliuo's meaning was very straightforward. He was telling Qiao Wu that as long as he wanted, he could stay young forever.

If there were no things that happened later, Mr. Qiao Wu would definitely think that he thought too much at that time and over-interpreted Xia Liliuo's words in retrospect.

He remembered very clearly that Xia Lilio explained it in this way.

"The reason why people or any other living organisms age is because they are ordered to age. If there is no instruction from this layer, the cells in our body can reproduce and push new ones forever, and maintain our body functions forever. But everyone's head They are all bound by such an ultimate instruction of self-destruction. When the time is up, they will start by themselves, and once they are started, they will never turn back. This is the so-called destiny.

But suppose, we can escape this instruction?Or can we successfully hide the 'time's up' message?Then this instruction will never be executed.We can live forever, just like cancer cells.

I have this ability to change, and I see similar opportunities in you.

So, I believe that if I can do it, you can too.

You can try it. When you dream back at midnight, find a mirror that can illuminate the moonlight, look directly into the eyes of the person in the mirror, and tell him to stop.

But everything stops, simple as that. "

After Xia Liliuo said this, a relaxed and happy smile appeared on his face, as if he had just finished eating a delicious cheese bread, and he was in a good mood.

"Mark my words. You look delicious and I don't expect you to expire so soon."

His teeth were white and neat, so perfect that it was almost fake. Looking at it, Mr. Qiao Wu became inexplicably flustered.

The little sea otter listened, and for some reason, he stretched out his hands and pressed his index and middle fingers against the brows, looking like he had a migraine.

Luo Xian couldn't help being distracted and asked, "What are you doing?"

The little sea otter looked back at him in a daze, and then typed a line on the phone: This kind of inside story is too exciting and shocking for a sea otter, I am afraid that my eyebrows will fly because of being too surprised When I got to the bangs, I wanted to block it with my paws.

……

This kind of inside story is shocking for any species.However, it is estimated that only Ta Nuo, a little sea otter, would subconsciously make a nonsensical move to save his eyebrows.

Mr. Qiao Wu continued to speak.The conversation between him and Xia Lilio was just an ordinary conversation. It might seem a bit weird because the content was out of place, but nothing happened in the real world.Mr. Qiao Wu comforted himself in this way, determined to put this weird conversation behind him.In fact, he did.After leaving the film crew, he and Xia Liliu had no intersection, and he never saw him again on any occasion.

however……

"You tried the method Xia Liliuo said." Luo Xian judged calmly.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qiao Wu couldn't help hugging his head in pain. "It was just a mistake, I was drunk," he argued.

Mr. Qiao Wu really became popular after the web drama aired, his name began to appear in various reports, he was active in different variety shows and programs, and he received more and more commercials Endorsement, his figure began to become ubiquitous.As his fame grew, so did his circle of fans.However, not all the beautiful things of fame and fortune followed, but also endless troubles.

It is not easy to catch an ordinary person without a trace, and there is no sense of accomplishment. However, it is easy to search for the history of a famous person, catch his faults, and attack his flaws. "Fame Li Wan".Mr. Qiao Wu, who has become a popular spicy bird, has naturally become the target of public criticism.Many of his so-called "black histories" have been unearthed by netizens, exaggerated and publicized.One of the most criticized is his history of tampering with age.

The guilty Mr. Qiao Wu silently endured the consequences of his mistakes.However, the battle against the crowd will never stop at justice.He began to suffer from all sides making things difficult and groundless speculation, and these verbal attacks were often baseless and full of malice.Over time, he was under a lot of pressure, and age gradually became a key word that triggered heart disease.Although on the surface, Mr. Qiao Wu is still the super idol of that brilliant self, but he knows that deep down, he has gradually become unconfident, sensitive and suspicious.

As he knew, even a powerful spirit cannot guarantee that he will never age.Mr. Qiao Wu, who is actually 27 years old, drank too much at a celebration banquet. He woke up in the middle of the night and accidentally looked in the mirror when he woke up. Well and bloodshot, he looked rather haggard, with an old face all over his face.

This may be just a sequela of his rushing work and not resting well, or it may just be a momentary unconsciousness, but at that time, Mr. Qiao Wu was completely hopeless and was defeated almost instantly.No matter how beautiful the peacock is, how proud it is when it opens its tail, how bleak it will be when it decays.The tall tower accumulated with youth and beauty as capital cannot stand scrutiny.

That night, he inexplicably recalled Xia Liliuo's words back then.Those words that he deliberately forgot in his mind echoed clearly in his ears like the devil's whisper in such a quiet night, full of deceptive magic power.

Stop, just three simple words, Mr. Qiao Wu believes that there will be no spell in this world that uses such a simple command as a spell.But he couldn't resist trying.

"Then I passed out." Mr. Qiao Wu's eyes no longer shone like they did at the beginning, but were covered with a layer of melancholy, "Maybe I just got drunk again, anyway, the next morning I found myself I woke up on the tiled floor in the bathroom. Regarding the memory of the previous night, my mind was in chaos, and I could only recall a few fragments. Be young again."

Luo Xian stared at him closely, as if trying to extract all the details of that wonderful night from his eyes.

"That was probably more than a year ago. In fact, nothing special happened after that. Everything was the same, but I don't know if it is my own illusion. I feel that my physical condition has really improved. I also have the luster of when I was just in human form, and I look very healthy. But I always comfort myself, it should be psychological hints that have played a role. After all, I am not really old now, and my physical fitness has always been much stronger than that of ordinary humans. As long as I rest Well, it’s still easy to get back into shape.”

Mr. Qiao Wu had a wry smile on his face when he said this, "It's ironic to say that, after my face got better, the rumors on the Internet changed again, and it began to spread that I had plastic surgery, because it was rebuilt and I looked good again. I figured it out. No matter what I do, I will actually attract criticism, and people will not understand what I do. This truth is too simple. I should have understood it a long time ago. It’s just that I have gained a lot now, but I’m afraid of losing it, and I’m getting lost. Sincerely."

He Nuo was used to Mr. Qiao Wu, who was used to exaggeration and exaggeration, but he was not used to seeing him so depressed and depressed at this time, and he couldn't help but feel sympathetic to him.

However, Luo Xiang is not someone who can comfort others.He straight-forwardly asked the most critical question, "So, what you call the strange thing that happened recently is..."

"The strange thing is that I have recently found that the signs of my 'rejuvenation' are becoming more and more obvious, which cannot be explained by reasons such as sleeping well and eating well, so that my agent suspects that I have really undergone plastic surgery and secretly seeks me out Discuss, let me not hide it. That's when I felt strange and scared. And—" He stared blankly at Luo Xiang and Ta Nuo, pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and continued.

"I found that my height was wrong. To be exact, I became two centimeters shorter. Although two centimeters is not much, and the height of the human body will always change with the measurement time and method changes, the height is different It seems normal. But I clearly remember that 180 was my height when I first debuted. After that, I actually grew two centimeters taller, and then remained at 182. For so many years, every time I measure, my height is in the Between 181.5 and 182, it is very accurate, and there has never been such a big difference of two centimeters.

Coupled with the changes on my face, I have a vague feeling that the me I am now is actually the me I was six years ago. "

He looked up, with a struggling look on his face.

He Nuo was dumbfounded, and was amazed by this speculation.

"If time regression can really happen to a single individual, then something must have happened to me. If I am now the body of six years ago, will I continue to shrink in the future? I worry that when the time comes There will be an irreversible disaster situation, so I am eager to return to Maochun."

Luo Xiang nodded, and took the initiative to add the next sentence for him, "And after you returned to Maochun, within three days, you found that your youthful body had returned to the normal time trajectory."

His tone was very certain, as if he had already guessed the truth of the matter.

Sure enough, Mr. Qiao Wu stiffened and finally nodded reluctantly.

"Alas," he sighed, "There is an old saying in human beings, you have to pay back sooner or later if you go out to mess around. Sure enough, there is no such cheap thing as a free lunch in the world."

He Nuo felt that it was reasonable, and nodded vigorously.

"So, I beg you to help me get rid of this magic power. I don't want to live in such a frightening life again." Mr. Qiao Wu stood up and bowed deeply to Luo Xian with a solemn expression.

"Even if you can only become an ordinary spirit in the end, when you maintain your human form, you can only accept the fate that ordinary people must go through. You will grow old day by day, and you will never be able to return to your prime, and you will never be able to find your fancy face again. ?”

A struggling salute appeared on Mr. Qiao Wu's face. After several changes, he became firm again.His eyes were clear and free of impurities, and there seemed to be tears, "I am willing."

Hearing this, Luo Xiang nodded in satisfaction, and then took out something from his pocket.

The little sea otter instantly became excited.

Oh oh oh!This must be the magical weapon that the little boss said before!The little boss has been recharging his energy for so many days, it must be for tonight's fight!

So excited!

His whole body was boiling with enthusiasm, and he looked intently, wanting to see what kind of artifact it would take the little boss three days to prepare.

I saw the whole body of the magic weapon glowing, neither long nor short, a handle made of jade-colored long bamboo, with a shiny elastic thread tied at one end--the little sea otter immediately recognized that it was the pure hand of the little boss. The fishing line formed by the condensed spiritual power—the other end of the fishing line is tied with a few gorgeous unknown feathers, and a fluffy ball is wrapped in the feathers, and the material is also invisible.

Luo Xian swung the magic weapon, and the little ball swayed up and down with his movements, looking very lively.

The little boss is obviously very satisfied with his work.He smiled, with a smug expression on his face, and said to Mr. Qiao Wu: "The finished product is acceptable. Your luck is good."

……

I understand the truth, but why does the magic weapon in hand have to be made into a cat teaser?

All of you present have weird faces.

Little Boss: Heh, you mortals, how can you know about this funny cat—bah, the power of this magic weapon.
