Chapter 747: The Appearance of an Immortal
The area behind the mountain outside the town is not large, but there is a strange atmosphere everywhere, if the ordinary people look up from the foot of the mountain, they will see a long and bright stone path, it seems that it can go straight to the top of the mountain, there is no need to detour the extra detour, what is more strange is that at the highest point of the mountain, people who are destined can also see the curling smoke, but there is no one living there, so it is rumored by the villagers that the gods are refining the elixir.
Old man Xu muttered this, Yu Panxi and Xiao Chumo glanced at each other meaningfully, curling smoke? Immortal? It is said to be a myth, but it is more like a rumor made up by the villagers themselves, after all, what does the fairy look like? No one has ever met face-to-face!
But the two did not interrupt Old Man Xu's words, only to see that his eyes were shining, with a peaceful face, as if he was really in the beautiful scenery, using the most beautiful words in his life to describe the scenery and pictures of visiting the back mountain, and from his expression, it is not difficult to see that he is lingering.
"The old man was a person who stepped into the coffin with one foot, but he was too sorry for his life and was unwilling to pass away, so although I heard the strange rumors about the back mountain, the old man I was not in the mood to be afraid, I just wanted to go up the mountain smoothly to see the fairy, and let him teach the old man the method of prolonging my life, so my heart was horizontal, my eyes were closed, and the old man stepped on this simple and clean path."
But then there was no yearning on the old man's face, and there seemed to be a faint horror in his eyes, as if he wanted to see an extremely terrifying scene, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he sighed:
"But when I entered the mountain forest, the old man was surprised to find that this forest was far from being as simple as it was when I looked up from the bottom of the mountain, and even if I had been walking along the only path, it seemed that there were countless forks in the way, and I could not climb to the top of the mountain, find the source of the curling smoke, and see the gods who thought about it day and night, but I was lost."
Old man Xu, who couldn't find the exit, and couldn't reach the top, soon lost his physical strength due to his old age, he only felt a blackness in front of him, and soon his body passed out uncontrollably, and his breath was very weak, and in a trance, Old Man Xu seemed to see the messenger of the underworld standing in front of him, as if he was going to arrest him and go to see the king of Hades.
At this critical moment, the old man's snort suddenly cultivated a fragrance of elixir, after smelling this smell, his chaotic brain gradually cleared up a lot, but his body still did not have the strength to make him stand up, he raised his eyelids, and saw that the person squatting next to him was not a messenger of the underworld at all, but a handsome young man with a handsome face like white jade!
This man's face is like a crown of jade, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and his white outfit looks full of fairy spirit, as if the real fairy has descended to earth, Old Man Xu wants to talk to him, this man also noticed this, but he snapped his fingers at will, even if Old Man Xu opened his mouth, he was never able to make any sound, because of this, he firmly believed that the man was the legendary, the fairy who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests and was willing to help the world!
After his face was no longer pale, the "immortal" put away the medicine bottle in his hand and turned around and left without saying a word, and Old Man Xu also slowly fell asleep between haze and surprise, until Yu Panxi and Xiao Chumo found him fainting in the grass and took him back to the medical hall......
After listening to Old Man Xu's narration, Yu Panxi couldn't help but feel that the mysterious aura of the back mountain was stronger, in fact, since she stepped into that land, she faintly felt that there was an aura, but because it was extremely weak, it would be difficult for her to distinguish whether the other party was good or evil for a while?
But seeing that Old Man Xu is safe and sound now, it is obvious that the other party has no intention of harming people, so who is he? Why did it appear in that mountain forest? Why did the other villagers show signs of poisoning? Could it be that the woods are really the entrance to the Spirit Village?
With many questions in his heart, Yu Panxi was reassuring Old Man Xu to recuperate and recuperate, and don't go to the back mountain at will, so he and Xiao Chumo prepared to leave the medical hall together, but when they walked to the door, the junior apprentice suddenly ran up and said to the two: "My master asked me to tell the two of you that you can't go to the back mountain!" If the two of them are still obsessed, then he has nothing to say. ”
"Thank you for your master's kind words and persuasion for me!" Xiao Chumo hugged his fists and thanked him, then reached out to support Yu Panxi's back, and the two walked away side by side.
On the way back to the inn, Xiao Chumo said thoughtfully: "Don't you think the whole thing is very strange?" Obviously, the old man Xu, like everyone else, has also walked a long way in the back mountain, but he has been going around and around to find the top of the mountain, and when he passed out, the mysterious man happened to appear, if it was just a coincidence, it was a little too weird, right? ”
"yes, I really can't figure that out." Yu Panxi frowned slightly, and continued: "If the biggest difference between Old Man Xu and other poisoned people is that he was lucky enough to meet that man, and it was the taste of the medicine bottle in his hand that helped him detoxify, so his body is fine when he is old, and what is his original intention for doing this?" In any case, the strangeness of that mountain forest is really indescribable. ”
Having said that, there was a wonderful feeling that kept rising between Yu Panxi's body, but she was close to the suppression of power, quietly glanced at Xiao Chumo's face, and saw that he was also frowning, looking thoughtful, so that people couldn't guess what he was thinking?
In the middle of the night, Yu Panxi still had no intention of sleeping, and what Old Man Xu said during the day still lingered in her mind, making her constantly feel a sense of excitement and lingering.
Goodbye Xiao Chumo, although the eagle's eyes were closed, but the eyes were still faintly turning, and they obviously didn't fall asleep, but the two of them had a tacit understanding not to speak, and they seemed to be hesitating.
When the gong sounded, Xiao Chumo finally sighed and said, "Why don't we go up the mountain together to find out what the so-called immortal is all about!" ”
"Really?" Yu Panxi was pleasantly surprised.
In fact, she also wanted to go to the back mountain again, so that she could figure out whether the back mountain was the entrance to Ling Village? Second, I also want to help the villagers solve the mystery of the immortals, if there is really a god who hangs a pot to help the world, then why do people who go to him for medical advice will be inexplicably poisoned, and the strange thing is that there is no figure of the person who poisoned the person at all?
"Before leaving, bring all the elixirs sent by the imperial doctor in case you need them." Xiao Chumo slowly opened his eagle eyes, and when he looked at her, he was not angry at all, but full of spoiling, as a husband and wife, how could he not know that she was extremely curious? I can't sleep all night tossing and turning, for maybe that's why, right?
brought her bags and medicines, just in case, Yu Panxi didn't forget to bring Fu Xiqin, in case any beasts appeared in the mountains and forests, she could also help Xiao Chumo.
