Chapter 26: Poor Man

"Someone's coming."

Ou Xichen, who had been sitting on the ground and meditating without saying a word, suddenly spoke.

Sure enough, there was some slight sound in the dense peach forest behind him.

"We, let's go." Liu Min said timidly.

In this vast and boundless dark valley, the people who came were none other than Zhou Gang, who was as terrifying as a killing machine, and Han Fatzi, who was even more terrifying after taking the Enma Pill.

"Hmm."

Mao and Rey nodded hurriedly in agreement.

“…… All right. I can go on my own, though. Ou Xichen tentatively gathered qi with a long knife in his hand, and then nodded unwillingly in agreement.

The four of them got back on the road and walked towards the depths of the peach forest.

A moment later, a colorful butterfly appeared where everyone had just stopped, and the dark night could not hide the beautiful color of the butterfly. It waved two rainbow-like wings, slowly flew into the peach forest, and disappeared.

Ou Xichen couldn't walk fast, and he had to use a long knife to tap the ground with every step, but he still insisted on walking by himself and refused Ah Mao's support.

Liu Min and Rey walked in front, the pitch-black peach forest seemed to have no end, and the night wind was still whistling by.

"Rey, what are you thinking?" Liu Min looked at the silent Lei Yi and asked softly.

"I'm thinking, although Han Fatzi has become a terrible monster, he is delirious and moves very slowly, as long as we pay attention to something, there should be no problem. But Zhou Gang is different, you can also see how terrible his flying knife is, he can appear at any time. ”

"yes. If only the fishing rod were still there, alas, ......" Liu Min sighed.

"It's okay, maybe Zhou Gang has already met Han Fatzi, maybe the two guys have died together, haha." Rey smiled awkwardly.

It's all to blame for yourself, although there is a sword, but you also have to suffer from CD time, and the chain is always dropped at critical moments.

No, don't blame yourself, blame this sword.

No, it's not the sword, it's the design of the game.

No, it's not the game itself, it's the people who designed it.

Right!

It's all to blame for Wang Anxin!!

Whether the sword can use such a big thing as a master is unknown.

The sword is exactly the same in both the usable state and the unusable state.

There is no other way to know if the CD is up than to yell at the target.

But, what kind of bird method is this?

The result is nothing more than two, first, lightning strikes, which means that the next time you encounter danger, the sword is a pile of scrap metal. Second, the lightning has not yet come out, which means that when you encounter danger next, you are still not sure if the lightning will come.

Rey stared angrily at the sword in his hand, the gauntlet that looked like a bunch of slanted hair became more and more unpleasant.

"Sister Liu Min, Brother Rey's ......"

Mao's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Let's take a break, Brother Xichen, he ......" Ah Mao was interrupted by Xichen before he could finish speaking.

"It's fine. I can stand ......."

Ou Xichen was moving his steps with difficulty, his body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and with every step, the long knife was deeply inserted into the soil.

"Okay." Liu Min agreed softly.

……

A bonfire rises again in the night.

In the dense peach forest, the space was small, and the backs of Rey and Liu Min were tightly attached to a peach tree.

Ou Xichen put down the long knife and meditated again.

"We've gone a long way, Han Fatzi is delirious and can't walk fast, I don't think I can come back for a while." Mao said as he sent the freshly broken branch into the fire.

"Crackling ......"

Dew-laden branches crackled in the exuberant flames.

There is no trace of the dense night, and the vast Peach Blossom Valley is as if it has never had light. This small campfire is like a small lighthouse floating in the dark sea.

"Everyone's tired, let's get something to eat." By the light of the fire, Mao took out a small stack of neatly folded cakes from the package.

"I don't seem to be hungry at all." Rey waved his hand repeatedly.

"I don't seem to be hungry either." Liu Min said softly.

"Really? Do you want it, big brother washing? ”

Ou Xichen opened one eye, took the cake handed by Ah Mao, took a few bites with difficulty and began to meditate again.

"Have you eaten anything?" Ah Mao looked at Rey and Liu Min suspiciously.

When the two of them reached the hillside, the sumptuous dinner party was almost over, and they had not eaten anything except a glass of clear water wine. Although the wine can keep out the cold, it is not hungry, and it has been two hours since I went down to the valley, and this road is full of dangers, and I am afraid to stop and go, how can I not be hungry? You know, he Ah Mao has long been hungry with his chest sticking to his back.

What have you eaten? The two began to think.

Liu Min really couldn't think of it, but since he came out of the cave, except for drinking a few sips of water from Ah Mao, he has never felt hungry.

It immediately occurred to Rey that perhaps it was the sap that the ravens were fighting for in the cave was at work.

"By the way, Ah Mao, Liu Min and I once fell off a cliff. There's a cave hidden down there. There is a very tall tree in the cave and a lot of crows. The crows were fighting for a fruit on this tree, and the fruit cracked, and a lot of juice flowed out, as sweet as honey, and we had eaten some of the juice. ”

Since Ah Mao is proficient in pharmacology, he may know some.

"Oh, the goo that fell on me?" Liu Min began to recall that the current was too turbulent at that time, but fortunately he was a fisherman who lived by the river since childhood, otherwise the two would have died underwater. Not long after he was exhausted and rescued Rey ashore, something suddenly hit him, and he couldn't remember what happened next, and when he woke up again, he was already on the slope of Qingshui Mountain.

"Yes. When we find you, you're unconscious, but thankfully these juices have given us energy. Rey said.

"Fruit from the tree?" After listening to this, Ah Mao frowned and thought about it.

The flames were still crackling.

Ou Xichen finished meditating, his body seemed to have recovered a lot, and he began to gulp down the leftover bread just now.

"I don't know." After a while, Ah Mao shook his head.

"Could it have something to do with eternal life?" Ou Xichen said suddenly after eating the cake.

The voice was soft, but the words immortality exploded in the minds of several people like a bolt of lightning.

Eternal life?

Could it be that the mystery of the secret of the so-called old gentleman's daughter is those juices?

Then he and Liu Min are already immortal?

Is it so easy to make people give up everything and get eternal life so easily?

No, it's not!

It can't be that simple. Otherwise, wouldn't those crows and ants all live forever?

"Mao?" Liu Min shouted softly.

“…… Well? Maybe the word eternal life was too heavy in Ah Mao's heart, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

"You're here for this secret, too." Liu Min said softly.

“…… Yes. After a while, Ah Mao nodded and said.

Liu Min looked at Ah Mao with clear eyes, and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything after all.

"Ah Mao, you are proficient in pharmacology, let me ask you, can you really live forever?" It may be that the Qi Gathering Pill has played a role, or it may be the relationship between meditation, and the state of the district is getting better and better, and the voice is no longer weak.

"My mother once told me on her deathbed not to be sad and to live happily every day in the future. In the future, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must have the courage to face them, because life will always pass away day by day until it ends. But courage grows day by day and becomes eternal. Mao muttered.

"Well said! Your mother was such an amazing person. Ou Xichen stood up and continued, "There is no eternal life in this world, and even if there is, it is a boring thing. Only by constantly challenging ourselves can we give full meaning to our short lives. ”

The words of washing the dust greatly encouraged Ah Mao and Liu Min.

He didn't come for eternal life, but to challenge himself.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound from the peach tree not far from the fire.

"Eternal life? Have you also come to rob me of my eternal life? ”

A monkey-like thing quickly grabbed a branch and flew over.

"Who?"

The crowd stood up in horror.

The figure of the person who came gradually became clear.

A short, scrawny man appeared in front of everyone, his eyes were sunken, his face was wrinkled, his hair and beard were indistinguishable, and his clothes were wrapped around him like a rag.

"Eternal life? Eternal life? And you have come to rob me of my eternal life? ”

Rey clenched the sword in his hand tightly, and Ou Xichen also held his long knife, a person he had never seen before.

"Whoosh."

A white light flashed, and someone rushed towards Ah Mao.

The speed was too fast, and before everyone could react, Ah Mao's package had already appeared in the hands of the comer.

"Eat, eat, eat." The visitor quickly opened the package, took out a few cakes, and ate them in large gulps, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time.

Everyone looked at the visitor in amazement, but he only bowed his head and ate the bread.

"Hey, eat slowly......" Ah Mao whispered to dissuade.

The gobbling that people didn't care about, and gradually ate red eyes.

Just as he was about to finish the bread, he suddenly threw it aside, began to vomit heavily, and then rolled with his hands on his stomach, and his mouth made a whining sound.

"He seems to have eaten too much." Mao hurriedly retrieved something from the package that had been discarded aside.

"Woo, eternal life, eternal life...... I slain the dragon...... I have eternal life...... You, you all...... Villain...... You are coming...... Purloin...... My ......" the man rolled in pain and spoke intermittently.

……

"Found it." Ah Mao stood up, holding a dark red pill in his hand, "Hurry up and ...... this pill"

"No need." Xichen stopped Ah Mao with the back of the long knife, "He's already breathing." ”

When everyone looked at him, he was lying on the ground silently, shriveled and shriveled, only his stomach was bulging, and he was dead.

A butterfly landed on the deceased's last bulging abdomen as if in mourning.

"Who do you guess he is?" Ou Xichen asked silently staring at the butterfly.

"I think it should be the survivor who came to ask for marriage in the last session." Liu Min said silently, and added another sentence after a while, "It's also a poor person who has been fascinated by eternal life." ”
