After the truth came out, they begged me not to die.

Chen Zun looked at the white-haired old man quietly, waiting for him to speak.

The white-haired old man squeezed his beard and said without saying anything, he turned around and took out a small baggage and said, "The journey here is difficult. There are three days' worth of dry food and water in this bag. You can take it first."

"Also, the spiritual beings in the world are guarded by strange beasts. There is a strange beast in the ice cave in Hanmang Mountain guarding the ice-veined frozen tree. There are things this beast likes in this bag. When you get there, Arrange it one mile away, and when the beast eats the bait inside, it will fall asleep for a stick of incense, and you can use this time to go in and get the fruit."

Chen Zun solemnly took the baggage, carried it on his back, and nodded.

In addition, the white-haired old man took out another jade bottle and handed it to him, and said with a very serious expression:

"Before you go in, take the pills in the bottle, and then fill the bottle with the liquid under the fruit trees. When everything is done, don't be greedy for anything. Apply the powder in the bag on your body and go down the mountain immediately. How fast is it? No matter how fast you run, you only have one stick of incense, so you must remember.”

"I remember."

Chen Zun did not dare to be careless and kept the words of the white-haired old man firmly in his heart. Fortunately, he had always had a good memory and he had memorized them all after repeating them silently in his mind several times.

The white-haired old man was still worried and asked Chen Zun to repeat what he said to make sure there were no mistakes in the steps before he could rest assured.

Chen Zun asked a few more questions about the strange beast and the shortest way to Hanmang Mountain. The white-haired old man answered patiently while feeling more reassured about Chen Zun's trip.

It was already late at night, and Chen Zun knew almost everything, so he was ready to set off. After all, the trip was fifty miles away. The sooner he set off, the sooner he could pick the fruits and come back, and Zhao Lingyun's illness could get better sooner.

The white-haired old man didn't say anything. He handed a woodcutter to Chen Zun, stretched out three fingers and said, "Your sister's heat poison can only last three days. You must come back within three days, otherwise, Once time passes, even gods can’t save her, remember!”

"Don't worry, I will definitely be back within three days. My sister, please don't worry about it."

Chen Zun silently took the hatchet and thanked him.

Finally, he walked to the bed, shook Zhao Lingyun's little hand, and whispered: "Sister, you must wait for me to come back."

After speaking, Chen Zun opened the door and walked out without looking back. His small figure suddenly blended into the dark night.

The white-haired old man stood at the door with his hands behind his back, sighed, and murmured to himself.

"Oh, it's been thirty years, and this is already the fifteenth time. If this guy doesn't succeed in getting Han Yulu back to heal the fundamental wounds, I won't be able to survive for a few more years. I hope he can come back safely."

……

Let’s talk about Chen Zun. After leaving the town, he ran wildly all night until the sun came out in the morning, and he only walked more than 40 miles.

At this time, Chen Zun's feet were as heavy as lead. He was panting, sweating profusely, and couldn't lift any strength in his body.

He walked all night without stopping, which was already the limit for him at his age.

But now Chen Zun smiled, because his efforts had yielded results, and Hanmang Mountain was right in front of him.

Chen Zun had no intention of continuing on the road. He knew that he had to take a good rest now. This place was inaccessible and no one knew if there were wolves and tigers here.

So, he found a tree, climbed up, sat on the tree, ate some dry food and water, and then fell asleep.

When he woke up, his body was full of energy. Although his back was sore, his spirit was surprisingly good.

It was already afternoon and the sun was setting.

There was still about ten miles to go. Chen Zun climbed down from the tree after eating and drinking. He didn't dare to delay any more and continued on his way.

After several hours, Chen Zun had arrived at the place mentioned by the white-haired old man, and it was completely dark at this time.

He raised his head and glanced at the white full moon in the sky. There were stars in the sky and no clouds. It was such a good weather.

Not daring to neglect, Chen Zun found a copper box in the bag, took out a few pills sealed with wax inside, crushed the wax seals, placed them on the open ground, then packed up his things and ran behind a stone in the distance, carrying Waiting quietly with a hatchet in hand.

Time passed little by little, and the surroundings were still extremely quiet, which made Chen Zun, who was hiding, feel a little impetuous.

Just when he suspected that the bait was not working, a flock of birds started up in the forest, and he heard the sound of breaking dead branches and leaves.

"coming!"

Chen Zun's heart trembled, and he lowered his voice while holding his breath and stared at the place where the sound came from.

"Sand, sand, sand..."

There was a sound of swimming coming closer from far away, and the thing that made the sound soon came to the bait.

By the moonlight, Chen Zun could easily see what it was.

It turned out to be a big snake!

This is a giant black snake as thick as a bucket, five or six feet long, with a head as big as a bull's head, and eyes as big as fists. At this time, it is coiling its whole body around the bait, its two eyes are shining, and it is spitting out snake messages. Scan around.

Chen Zun had never seen such a big snake before. He was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back. His whole body was stiff and he did not dare to move or breathe out for fear of being discovered by it.

Perhaps the bait was more tempting to the black giant snake. As soon as the snake rolled the letter, all the bait fell into its belly, and it actually showed a trace of satisfaction.

After waiting for a while, the black giant snake seemed not satisfied. It coiled its body and raised its head and sniffed around for a few times to make sure there was no other bait before preparing to leave.

"Huh? It doesn't work?!"

Just when Chen Zun was anxious, the black giant snake started to shake its head before it swam a few times. After a while, it fell asleep without even taking back the snake letter and exposing it to the outside.

Chen Zun was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to go there right away, for fear that the effect of the medicine would not be fully exerted yet. Human beings are born to be afraid of such behemoths.

Seeing that there was really no movement from the giant snake, Chen Zun took courage and walked out quietly with a hatchet in his hand.

He did not dare to get close to the black snake, but kept a certain distance away, for fear of accidentally waking it up.

Following the traces left by the giant snake on the ground, he started running wildly after walking for a short distance.

Time was tight, and he only had one incense to pick the fruit, extract the liquid, and escape, leaving him little time.

After not running for long, Chen Zun came to a mountain wall. There were many bones piled outside. They were not only moldy, but also covered with moss. It looked like they were old.

In the middle of the mountain wall, there was a hole that could only accommodate a child. Cold air wafted out of it, as cold as his bones, and he couldn't help but shudder.

It seems that this is the right place.

Chen Zun no longer hesitated, took out the jade bottle, unplugged it, poured out a red pill as big as a fingernail, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Strangely enough, the pill melted in his mouth, and soon there was a surge of heat all over his body. His face turned red, and a large amount of sweat soon oozed from his forehead, making his whole body feel as uncomfortable as being roasted by fire.

Chen Zun knew that this was the medicine to fight the cold, so he stuffed the jade bottle in his arms, climbed into the cave with a hatchet on his waist.
