"...Mix it with Wuxin grass juice, it will turn into water in a short time, drink it for one liter, and you will be a thousand years old. A thousand years old!" Feng Huanyuan just chanted over and over again. "Some people believe this! Although we know that the ancients dared to eat anything in order to live as long as the heavens. They ate gold and silver, and some ate jade. Good jade is hard to come by, and Lantian jade is beautiful. It seems that it is not the best choice for eating. Otherwise, my master may have eaten one or two hundred catties. In other words, the master may have already become a fairy, and all I saw was a pair of skins, and my classmates from Huashan would kill each other because of it. It's really sad sigh!"

"Your master was originally named Taoist Songyue, and he has studied Taoist classics a lot, and even you can recite a few sentences. What's so strange about Thaksin." The two of them entered the mountain for ten miles, Feng Huanyuan was still beating his chest and feet, and Gao Ya had to pour some cold water on him. "Furthermore, he has stayed behind closed doors for five years, wouldn't he just say to you that he is meditating and making alchemy?"

"There is a big difference between meditating and cultivating alchemy, and seeking immortality." Feng Huanyuan shook his head. "My master has a lot of experience in alchemy. Every year, people from the village at the foot of the mountain come to ask for medicine. Although it doesn't say that it can cure all diseases, it is still very effective if you have a headache or a fever. But the theory of longevity is false, and Ge Hong's writings are too obscene. , In the past, Master taught us and told us not to be obsessed, but he never thought that one day he would believe this himself! Don't you think this is funny?"

Gao Ya: "...It's not that funny either."

"You want to say that Qin Huang and Han Wu are also like this?" Feng Huanyuan said angrily. "But when my master was in his prime, he was definitely not like this. Not only was he not like that, he is a person who can conquer the sky by himself."

"Isn't it because of being too victorious to do this?" Gao Ya shook her head. "Of course you don't believe it. I don't believe it either, but from ancient times to the present, there have always been people who believe it. You don't believe it because you don't care about it; because we are still young, we feel that we have a long life, and we don't think death is anything to be afraid of. But if you At the age of the master, when he is getting more and more powerless, he may not be able to help others."

"Maybe, I don't have back pain when I stand and talk." Feng Huanyuan grinned. "No one loves longevity, but I don't think it can be obtained by force. And he turned against Senior Langdang for a rumored Yuzhizhi, which is a little bit too much. Most likely because Xingyu heard the word Huashan because of that." Unconsciously want to hit someone, but Senior Lang Dang doesn't seem to mind...Do you think Senior Lang Dang likes my master?"

Gao Ya staggered. "I think your master likes him."

"That's unknown. But one thing is for sure, Xing Yu must like Senior Lang Dang."

Although Gao Ya felt that what he said had some truth, she still felt that this person was too boring, so she walked away from him vigilantly, and Feng Huanyuan continued to chatter to herself: "It's a loss-making business to lose someone because of something, and I would definitely not do it. As the saying goes Said, ten thousand taels of gold is easy to get, but a bosom friend is hard to find. Would you be willing to trade it for you?"

Gao Ya is terribly annoyed by him. "Then it's one shot and two parts, and everyone is happy."

"No one is happy! He lost his wife and lost his army. If he doesn't say anything about his old friends for many years, Yuzhizhi may not get it. I think he didn't get it, or even though he got it, it was a fake. It is divine, but its efficacy is not better than that of white radish, otherwise he would live a thousand years after eating it, and his skill would also increase so much that he would become No. 1 in martial arts, how could he walk ahead of me?"

What he said was very reasonable, and Gao Ya also felt that the future was worrying.The two stopped at the same time and looked up at the misty mountain road ahead.Going into the mountain in the morning, the drizzle is always annoying like maggots on the tarsus bones. Every gesture seems to be twice as sticky as usual, but after all, it is only drizzle on the head; facing thousands of peaks, looking west is the imaginary Taihua, hanging between the rugged rock walls There are turbid streams, the urgent ones are like waterfalls, and the slow ones are like scorpions. Sometimes the ropes used by jade pickers are hanging and swaying in the wind and rain. At the bottom of the valley, only the sound of water rushing, and the tips of ancient trees breaking branches and leaves in the wind Xiao, although it is only afternoon in terms of time, it does not delay the eerieness at all.

Gao Ya's fingernails and lips were blue and white from the cold, although there was a wild pavilion passing by, the wet stone bench looked cool, the two of them could only stand, slightly relieved from the soreness of their legs and feet.Feng Huanyuan became more and more pessimistic: "Perhaps such a person doesn't live on Yushan at all."

"Mr. Langyan doesn't need to lie to us." Gao Ya thought that even if there is such a person, unless the apes can find it, she said: "Although she is forced to promise, she can't tell us the name and address of the senior expert. It's the same as being unable to tell your master back then. But that person lives in the mountains and is the master of Yuzhizhi, so there should be no falsehood. As for whether we can meet this senior, it all depends on fate—"

Before the words were finished, there was a sudden earth-shattering movement in front of him, and even the ground under his feet shook.Gao Ya was unsteady, Feng Huanyuan grabbed her, and the two jumped to the high place next to her.Perhaps because of the continuous rain, a large rock in front of it collapsed, and the gravel rolled down to the bottom of the valley, and the sound of rumbling was continuous.The smoke and dust dissipated, and the road was blocked.Feng Huanyuan sighed sincerely: "What a great fate."

Gao Ya didn't say a word, and immediately turned around.Feng Huanyuan caught up and said, "I see that you don't do much exercise at ordinary times, so you just come here to visit famous mountains and rivers. When you go back, maybe you made a map of your travels, which will immediately cause a sensation in the world."

"...I know, it's just a waste of time, I can't help being angry."

Feng Huanyuan leaned over to flatter me and said, "Since you have agreed to me, don't worry about it so much."

Gao Ya almost wanted to ask, "What did I promise you?" He held back the words, and just said, "Mr. Lang Dang said that if we can't find it everywhere, let us go back to Zhuomoxuan again."

Feng Huanyuan: "Yes, it's just that we went down the mountain just in time for someone to have dinner, so I'm a bit embarrassed to visit at this time. Maybe we can go there after dinner. Let's forget about staying overnight. I didn't dare when she invited us to stay overnight yesterday, because I was afraid Xing Yu came in in the middle of the night and smashed my head with a rolling pin..."

The drizzle gradually became denser and eventually turned into heavy rain. The tree-end springs kept flowing. It is better not to use an umbrella. The road down the mountain is more difficult than the uphill, and the soles of the feet are wet and slippery. Feng Huanyuan is used to walking on the more steep Huashan Mountain Road than this one, just pay attention to his elegant figure, Gao Ya didn't pay attention, and said thoughtfully: "...Let's go to Zhuo Moxuan first, and then enter Yushan to find out why your master's behavior became weird three years ago. Even if it is because of Yuzhizhi; he came to this mountain to look for it. Just like us today. Maybe he found it, or he may return without success. From then on, he can't extricate himself from the pursuit of immortality. Maybe your senior brother and sister took advantage of it. But no matter what, it can't wash away your sins. , to prove that the murderer is someone else. So besides this, do you have any other plans?"

Feng Huanyuan thought for a while and smiled slightly. "I don't know. So my innocence is finally hard to prove."

He looked sideways at the bottom of the deep valley—it was actually just a misty cloud of misery, mixed with the gray rainwater to form an incomparably depressing spectacle. Next, may suffocate and die before being smashed to pieces.There is only one way to return to the human world, but there are thousands of temptations to deviate. As long as you are slightly negligent and take a wrong step, what is the point of all kinds of snails in the world?

Feng Huanyuan stretched his hands behind his back and untied the drenched cloth bag on his back; the bag gnawed at him along the way, like a bone growing in the wrong place.

"I said before that I would throw it away. It was all a lie. But I was embarrassed by it. It was absolutely true. It was a disaster, a hot potato. Of course, I didn't give up too much. Thinking about it, hesitating, going down your tree into the well is not a good place to go; but if it is here, I think it can be said to be safe."

Gao Ya turned around and looked at him, with her wet hair stuck to her ears, her face was extremely pale.Something seemed to pass vaguely in his mind; like a handful of raindrops pouring between leaves, a circle of white marks exposed on a dead tree stump, a dream that had such a deep impression at that time that it disappeared without a trace after waking up. fragments.He moved his lips, but he just said, "You can do whatever you like, what's none of my business?"

Feng Huanyuan smiled and let go of his hand.The tiger's tail fell without any struggle, and was covered by clouds and mist for a moment, not even the sound of sinking to the bottom of the ravine was left behind.
