After the farewell banquet, Li Yao and I stepped on the departure train, Li Yao did not like airplanes, according to him, with his ability, on land, no matter what kind of disaster happened, he was sure to avoid it, and even had a strong premonition to predict.

But it's different on the plane, even if you know it, there is nowhere to run, unless you really become a god, or you will definitely die, on the plane, he is very insecure.

I agree with this statement, I think that with my reaction speed and sensitivity, if there is a car accident, I can avoid it in time, but how to hide on the plane, I can't get up to the sky, I can't go down to the ground.

More than ten hours later, we came to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and I realized that the place where they practiced was in Zhongnan Mountain.

"I didn't expect you to hide in Zhongnan Mountain, I've been to this place several times, but I haven't found you"

"If you had been twenty years earlier, you would have discovered us, but not now"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because there are too many people, do you know how many people are living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain now?"

"I seem to have heard some reports about this, tens of thousands of people, even homestays and hermit training institutions have come out, and they have long since changed their taste."

I nodded, this phenomenon has been going on for several years, and the pressure of life has been very high over the years, and many people can't bear it, so they come to retreat, and some people are just joining in the fun, because they saw the report of the seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, they think it is very beautiful, so they came.

The end result is that the number of people here has skyrocketed, and the result of the explosion is that the price of goods has also skyrocketed, and the rent of an adobe house, which used to be only four or five hundred yuan a year, has now skyrocketed to more than 20,000 yuan.

"That's right, it's all tasteless, at first we were rare, thinking that many people really saw through the red dust and concentrated on cultivating, but when we came into contact, we found that it was not like that at all, which made us angry, so we had to move."

Li Yao replied that in his opinion, this kind of seclusion is a kind of nonsense, either you can be a layman with peace of mind and run around for life, or you can completely let go of the past and come to seclusion from time to time, and what do you do with cultivation?

"And where did you end up moving?"

"It's still in the middle of Zhongnan Mountain, but it's just a peach blossom spring-like place, we spent more than ten years renovating, and then you will find that the beauty of our side is really the most beautiful place in the world."

"No matter how beautiful the place is, you will get tired of seeing too much, this is called aesthetic fatigue, don't fool me"

"Haha, Liu Daoyou, you are really vigilant, we actually have no ill will towards you at all, don't we?"

"I know, or I wouldn't have come"

Along the way, we still saw a lot of hermitage cottages, and some hermits came in and out, but there was no communication between them, so they didn't know each other, in fact, they didn't know each other, Li Yao They didn't recognize these hermits, so naturally they wouldn't contact them.

"Seclusion, hermit, seclusion, is different, this kind of hermit in my opinion, is a failure in life, they dare not face the weight of reality, so they choose to escape, choose this way to relieve their pressure.

Hermits, on the other hand, really like this way of life, so they can live on their own all year round, which is considered a way of life.

And the hidden world, it's hard to say, such as us, the reason why we are hidden is because it's too noisy outside, we need an environment, and there are some people, the reason why they are hidden..."

After Li Yao returned to Zhongnan Mountain, he was very talkative and very talkative, and he told me that he had traveled to many places and found that there were hidden people in many places.

For example, in a place in Shudi, in a large natural karst cave, there are still dozens of people living in it, self-sufficient, relying on the outside world for very little, which can be regarded as a kind of seclusion.

There is also a place where the descendants of the villagers who fled the war hundreds of years ago live, who are far away from the world and enjoy themselves, and there are even some hermit sects who practice strange arts, but they never appear in front of people.

"I haven't seen anything you said, it seems that this world is still very exciting"

"Yes, this world is very exciting, so we need enough time to understand this world, Liu Daoyou, in your consciousness, are we the kind of antiques who meditate at every turn, don't go out for ten or eight years, and are out of touch with the world?"

"Yes before, but now you don't think so, you must have a connection with the outside world"

"Of course, we live where we even have internet access, believe it or not"

"Believe, of course, you have a close relationship with those people in the Security Department."

"Yes, we are not immortals, we also need supplies, we used to get it ourselves, but then they didn't allow it, so it became a delivery to us, we just pay a little price, everyone doesn't suffer, and we save time"

Li Yao replied, in fact, those people were afraid that they would do bad things, after all, with their strength, if they really wanted to do something, they would inevitably be greatly damaged, so they tried every possible way to control them, but they also had a way to deal with it.

"Actually, it's a win-win ending, you're smart"

"If you are not smart in this world, you can only be a mediocre person, or you will be eaten and wiped out, sorry, I said it a little extremely"

"It's not extreme, the law of the jungle has been like this since ancient times"

"That's right, it's almost there, just go through this tunnel"

After walking a long way, I don't know how many mountains we have climbed, we came to a mountain wall, Li Yao opened a layer of vines, revealing a tunnel, a very small tunnel, probably only a single lane so small, big cars can't pass.

"What is this tunnel for?"

"Of course it's walking, it's our shortcut, we dug it privately, but they also know it, they didn't say it, there's a big road, there's also a tunnel over there, but in front of the tunnel is a barracks, we don't like to cross over there"

"Why"

"How can there be so many whys, don't like it is not like, we are a group of free people, we are watched all the time, do you like it"

"I don't like it either, but I say that technology is very advanced now, and satellites can see the ground, even a branch can be seen, and you don't have any secrets."

"He has a ladder over the wall, I have a ladder cloud, and there is a cloud above our heads, and I can't see us."

"I didn't see it, I'll see it later"

I nodded, this is not a big problem for them, there is nothing to doubt.

Soon, we walked in front of an iron door, Li Yao took out the key to open the door, and when he walked out of the door, there was a valley of birds and flowers, the valley was very large, surrounded by cliffs, like digging a big pit in place.

"The smell of sulfur, you have a hot spring here?"

"Of course, hot springs in the paradise are a must, otherwise what about winter?"

"It's definitely beautiful in winter."

"Yes, there was a time when I liked photography and there were a lot of videos that I could show you when the time came"

Li Yao said with a smile, Soon, we walked through a field of flowers and grass, and came to a building, I counted, there are five buildings in total, no, there should be behind it, I haven't seen it yet.

"Senior brother, I'm back"

Li Yao shouted, the sound was as loud as coming from the stereo, and soon, several figures came out of the building, one, two, three, including us, a total of five people.

"Senior brother, you're back, how are things going?"

The person who came was an older man, with gray hair, who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, but people here could not be interpreted by common sense, and it was normal for him to be forty or fifty years old.

"It's done, this is the guest I invited, Liu Jinyang, Liu Daoyou, and the newcomers we inspected"

"Liu Jinyang has seen all the Taoist friends"

"Liu Daoyou, let me introduce you, this is my senior brother Zhou Fan, who is one hundred and thirty years old this year, this is my senior brother Hong Tonghong, one hundred and twenty-five years old this year, this is my junior brother, eighty-nine this year, and he is our little junior brother here."

Li Yao introduced them one by one, the person who just talked to me was one hundred and thirty years old, but like a person in his sixties and seventies, his body was still very strong, and the other one was about the same, but a little younger, but another person who looked like he was in his early fifties, only less than ninety years old.

"Four people, more than 500 years old, no one believes this"

"I also have a senior brother, but he is older because he is in retreat all year round."

"How old"

"I don't know, but he said that he was going to break our record here, so it should be soon."

"Four words, shocked, shocked"

"Haha, don't talk about this, little junior brother, how about preparing to cook"

"No problem"

The little junior brother smiled and turned to leave.

And a few of us walked in front of a building, opened it, and inside was the appearance of a dojo, Li Yao stretched out his hand, and a yin qi appeared, and Xie Changming appeared.

"Zhou Daoyou, Hong Daoyou, we meet again"

Xie Changming saw a few people, and his face was extremely gloomy.

"Xie Daoyou, I haven't seen you for many years, but I didn't expect to meet in this situation"

"Senior brother, Xie Daoyou has committed great evil in the world, they are unwilling to release him, after my negotiation, it has been decided that we will imprison him, and he will not leave this room until he is annihilated."

"I see, then follow the way of the junior brother"

"Zhou Daoyou, do you really want to admit my kindness to you back then?"

"Thank you Daoyou, kindness is kindness, we are not ungrateful, but we have a clear distinction between small righteousness and great righteousness, if you just make some small mistakes, we are naturally willing to turn a blind eye, but you committed a crime, sorry, if we make a move, you don't even have a chance to intercede"

Li Yao said coldly, he had seen all Xie Changming's files in the capital, and knew what he had done, just stealing the national fortune was enough to sentence him to death.
