Wood dust walks on a rugged path.
He could have taken the main road to Jiangyue City, but he didn't.
Because just as he was leaving Windflower Villa, he saw a scarecrow.
It's still the scarecrow, but in Mu Chen's eyes, the pink face is no longer good-looking, and the smile is no longer cute.
When he saw the scarecrow, it was like seeing a command.
He knew he had to do what the scarecrow said.
In fact, if people learn to live like a scarecrow, and do more things that can help others but have no meaning for themselves, then life will be much more comfortable.
But most people don't think about it, or refuse to think so.
The scarecrow was stuck in the ground, and behind it lay Zhang Qingge.
Zhang Qingge was already unconscious.
Mu Chen rode a horse, the horse was from Fenghua Villa, and he was already very tired, so he had to ride a horse.
The sword hung from the saddle, with wine in one hand and the reins in the other.
The reins were connected to another horse, and that horse was Zhang Qingge, who was lying on the horse, not yet awake.
The sound of running water resounded in the valley, and the horses' hooves stepped into the water, splashing the water.
The valley appears tranquil, and you can hear the chirping of birds.
This road was discovered when Mu Chen came, and although it will be a little bumpy to walk this path, the distance can be at least nearly twenty miles.
Follow the flowing water to the end and see a large waterfall cascading down from the top of the valley.
Mu Chen couldn't help but froze.
He loves the magic of nature and knows how to enjoy it.
He closed his eyes and confidently listened to the beauty of the moment.
The horse continued on his way.
Mu Chen opened his eyes and saw a stone tablet in the flower cluster in the distance.
Rode over and flicked the ball of flowers with his sword.
"Drunken Flower Stream"
Mu Chen smiled.
It's a good name and a great place indeed.
But good places are always easy to destroy.
To be able to find this kind of place here is already a lucky thing for Mu Chen.
Mu Chen drew his sword and carved it on the back of the stele
"Wine is not drunk with flowers, flowers are intoxicating, wine is also intoxicating, flowers are also intoxicating, and there are idlers in the drunken flower stream"
After carving, Mu Chen smiled and took the sword back.
Continue ahead and walk under the waterfall.
The water hit the ground, and the splash hit Mu Chen's face, making him feel extremely refreshed.
The water flows together into a lake, and the water is turquoise.
The fish in the pond swim and ripple.
Mu Chen shouted "drive"
The horse took two steps, then suddenly stopped moving and stood still.
The horse carrying Zhang Qingge did not move.
Mu Chen stroked the horse with his hand and said, "What's wrong?"
He felt the horse tremble.
A bad premonition came over me.
Mu Chen looked around, but didn't find anything special.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the lake.
The lake that had been calm seemed to explode.
For a moment, the water splashed everywhere, wetting Mu Chen's clothes.
The lake was a blur.
After a loud bang, there was no movement.
When the lake calmed down again, Mu Chen saw that there was an extra leaf boat in the lake, and an old man with white hair and white hair was being made on the boat.
Mu Chen said secretly: "Didn't you meet an immortal?"
He looked at the old man carefully, but did not respond.
Mu Chen said, "Isn't it an immortal, but if it's not an immortal, how can it come out of the water?"
He looked around, and it was impossible to transport a small boat to Hanoi in front of him.
Mu Chen shouted to the old man, "Old man, who are you?"
No one answered.
Mu Chen jumped up and jumped onto the boat.
He saw a very old man, sleeping peacefully, as if he was sleeping soundly.
Mu Chen didn't know who this person was.
Muchen didn't intend to wake him up.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt that the boat overturned, and his whole body was pressed into the bottom of the lake by a powerful force.
No amount of strength can break free.
Then water poured into his nose, and he only felt a sore nasal cavity, and as soon as his eyes were dark, he lost consciousness.
When Muchen opened his eyes again, he found himself in a cave.
Wood dust is lying in the water, floating on the water.
He swam to the shore.
Lying on the ground, he began to think back to what happened before he fell unconscious.
He didn't know how he got here.
The aches in his body told him he wasn't dead.
Suddenly, I heard an old voice say, "You're awake."
Mu Chen immediately turned around to look for the sound, and when he turned around, he saw the white-haired and white-haired old man sitting on a futon, looking at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen stood up and said, "May I ask senior, how did I get here?"
The old man said, "Naturally, I brought you here."
Mu Chen said, "Where is this?"
The old man said, "Drunk flowers"
Mu Chen said, "Is it the bottom of the lake?"
The old man said, "Not bad"
Mu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "It turns out that there is a hole at the bottom of the lake," he looked at the old man, and said, "Why did the senior bring me down?"
The old man laughed and said, "Why? Don't you know me?"
Mu Chen smiled bitterly, "The junior is just a gangster, how can he know the senior?"
The old man said, "'Wine is not drunk with flowers, flowers are intoxicating, wine is also intoxicating, flowers are also intoxicating, and there are idlers in the drunken flower stream' This is what you engraved on the stone tablet?"
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Not bad"
The old man said, "I am what you call an idler, why don't you know me?"
Mu Chen smiled bitterly, "The seniors may be wrong, the idlers of the juniors are not referring to the seniors, but to myself"
The old man said, "Yourself, didn't you really come here to find me?"
Mu Chen said, "The juniors don't know your name, how can they deliberately look for you?"
The old man was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, "It seems that my old man is self-inflicted."
Mu Chen can only smile.
The old man continued, "But since you have come, and we are fated, do you want to know who I am?"
Mu Chen said, "I don't want to"
The old man looked a little surprised, and said, "You don't want to know who I am?"
Mu Chen smiled bitterly, "The more people who know, the more troubles there will be, if the seniors have nothing else to do, let the juniors leave."
The old man smiled and said, "Well, your idea is very similar to when I was young."
Mu Chen smiled bitterly, "If I can be so free as my predecessors when I am old, it would be really good."
The old man said, "I have lived in seclusion in this drunken flower stream for more than 30 years, and you are the first person to see me."
Mu Chen said: "Seniors don't have families?"
The old man said, "I don't feel the seven emotions and six desires in the world"
Mu Chen said, "Then why didn't the senior become a monk?"
When the old man heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing and said, "It's been a long time since anyone talked to me like this, let me tell you, in my opinion, those monks who see through the red dust will also be tempted by fame and fortune, so I don't want to be a monk."
Mu Chen said, "The seniors have completely cut off all desires?"
The old man shook his head and said, "At least I still like to enjoy flowers and drink."
He looked at the wine jug on Mu Chen's waist and said, "Do you have any wine?"
Mu Chen took off the flask and said, "There are still some more."
The old man took the flask, took a sip and said, "You also call it wine?"
Mu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Good wine can't be bought nearby"
The old man smiled and said, "Well, since you're already here, why don't you taste my wine?"
Mu Chen said, "No, the juniors still have something to do, and they have to rush to Jiangyue City, so they can't accompany the seniors to drink."
The old man said, "Okay, if you can go up by yourself, I won't stop you."
Mu Chen didn't speak, he knew that his Qi-Closing Gong was still very shallow, and he couldn't go up on his own.
The old man smiled and said, "Young man, don't look at me that it's very deserted here, but the wine is still good."
Mu Chen had no choice but to nod in agreement.
