Chapter 130 Looking For The Spring Of Longevity
Immortality is a wish that people have been pursuing since ancient times.
In ancient times, there were many stories about immortality. Luo Chen’s master said that the earliest beginning of the mystical arts seemed to be for the pursuit of immortality.
And Luo Chen's rebirth, from a certain perspective, is also related to immortality.
"In our mountains, there has been a legend a long time ago that there was a longevity spring. Drinking the water there will extend your life."
"Have you seen it?"
"The mountain roads in Dieyun Mountain are not easy to walk, and it is easy to get lost. Even people in the village do not dare to walk randomly. The Changshou Spring is hidden in the mountains and is said to be guarded by a monster."
"monster?"
"Originally, we didn't believe it and just thought it was a story. But last month, Xiao Wu from the village accidentally lost his way while collecting herbs in the mountains. He accidentally bumped into something he had never seen before. Spring water, and he was attacked by a monster.”
There are many legends in the mountains, and longevity spring is just one of them. The old man talked about it first because the incident of Xiao Wu just happened in the village, and longevity spring became a topic of discussion for everyone.
Luo Chen was very surprised when he heard this. His original plan was to stay in the village for a few days, ask around for some stories in the name of the author, and also look for strange people in the mountains. There must be a mystic master living in seclusion here, maybe he can Got some news.
I didn't expect to hear something new when I first arrived.
"Is Xiao Wu okay?"
"He was slightly injured and has recovered. Everyone didn't believe what he said. Later, they sent people to search in the mountains. Who doesn't want to live a long life? But in the end, they still couldn't find it. Everyone didn't believe Xiao Wu's words and just felt He got lost in the mountains and his mind is not clear."
"Where are they?"
"Follow this road, and the third house is his house."
Luo Chen and the two immediately walked towards the village. The appearance of a mountain village and a big city seemed like two different worlds. There were tall trees everywhere and the roads were very uneven. There were many uphill and downhill roads. After only walking a short distance, The two of them felt that it was difficult, and coupled with the sultry climate, it was very difficult for the two outsiders to adapt.
The advantage is that the whole village is very quiet, you can only hear some birdsong, and it is pure natural scenery.
When we arrived at Xiaowu's house, there was no door, only a simple courtyard. A dark and strong young man was sorting herbs in the yard. He looked up and saw two outsiders. He was quite surprised because Lu Xiaobai was dressed like this. Her youthful short skirt and black silk stockings, coupled with her pure white face, look like a delicate doll that is not seen in Baxiang. However, most of the locals in southern Xinjiang have dark skin due to the climate.
Luo Chen stepped forward to say hello, introduced himself, and then asked Xiao Wu about his experience of seeing Changshou Spring.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu became more energetic, "People in the village don't believe me and even laugh at me. I have to find him."
"How about I go look for it with you?"
"you two?"
Xiao Wu looked up and down. Two well-dressed city dwellers were walking on a rugged mountain road. He shook his head, "You can't walk on a mountain road."
"Don't worry, if anything happens, we will be responsible ourselves, and I can give you money."
"real?"
Hearing the money, Xiao Wu agreed. Luo Chen asked him when he would set out. Xiao Wu looked at the sun and said, "I used to look for it during the day and couldn't find it at all. When I met Changshou Spring, I got lost at night. We encountered it by accident, so this time we will look for it when the sun sets."
"Okay, is there any place to eat in the village?"
"Want to have lunch? If you don't mind, you can have it at my house. There are very few outsiders in our village, and there is no place to eat or live. Occasionally, when outsiders come, they pay to stay in the villagers' homes."
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."
"You're welcome, I'm going to cook."
It was sweltering in the yard and the sun was glaring. Luo Chen and Lu Xiaobai hid in the shady backyard and found that there were many herbs and various bottles and jars placed here.
These things are abundant in the mountains of southern Xinjiang. Luo Chen was a little curious. He opened a jar and took a look. He was shocked to see that there were several crawling centipedes inside.
Xiao Wu just finished cutting vegetables and came out and said with a smile: "People in the city have never seen a living centipede."
"You raised this?"
"I caught it. Every year, medicinal merchants come to the village to buy it. Every household in Gushu Village makes money by collecting herbs and raising insects. Don't look at that centipede, which is scary. You can sell it for a lot of money."
Luo Chen and Lu Xiaobai looked at each other and nodded understandingly.
Centipedes can indeed be used as medicine, but some insect farmers also come to southern Xinjiang to purchase various poisonous insects for cultivation, and some even live here.
However, Gushu Village is so remote and located deep in the mountains with few people visiting it, so it is not the first choice for insect breeders.
Lunch was very simple, consisting of home-cooked dishes from southern Xinjiang. The two of them were not picky about their diet. They had a simple lunch with Xiao Wu. Luo Chen gave the money in a sensible way, and Xiao Wu accepted it with a smile and told It gets hotter in the afternoon, so they can take a nap at his house and set off after sunset.
He also pointed to the prepared tools and said that he must find the longevity spring this time and not let the villagers laugh at him.
It seemed that Xiao Wu was well prepared.
In the afternoon, Luo Chen and Lu Xiaobai lay in the room and slept for a while. When they woke up, Lu Xiaobai found himself lying in Luo Chen's arms again.
She blushed to her ears because she found that although Luo Chen hugged her waist with his hands, hers also hugged Luo Chen's arms. She couldn't tell who took the initiative to get close to her. When she was sleeping , indeed used to holding a doll or pillow.
While Luo Chen didn't wake up, she quietly let go of Luo Chen's arm, wiped off the drool on her arm, then quietly put on her shoes and left.
When people walked out of the house, Luo Chen's sleepy eyes opened. He looked at his hands and felt that he was getting more and more outrageous. Why were his hands dishonest when sleeping?
Inexplicably, he brought his hand close to his nose and smelled a girly fragrance.
I'm so perverted.
It was just dusk and sunset outside.
Xiao Wu packed up his tools and asked Luo Chen again before setting off if he really wanted to go together. If there was danger, Xiao Wu could not guarantee their safety, because not only was it easy to get lost in the mountains, but after night, wild animals appeared and there were many snakes and insects. .
"Don't worry, we are not as timid as you think."
"It's really rare that people from the city dare to come to the mountains."
The three of them followed a path out of the village. In front of them was a winding and rugged uphill road, and at the end of the road was the giant Dieyuncong Mountain, with no edges visible at a glance.
When they set foot on the mountain road, neither Luo Chen nor Lu Xiaobai expected that this step would completely change their fate.
