Chapter 118: Uncle Mid-Levels
The length of this misty area is very long, but the depth before and after is not deep, Lin Moran and the others walked out after walking for half an hour.
After walking out of the fog, Lin Moran only felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, three days ago, when they walked in the forest, there were only deep shades of green around them, and even the light was not so bright.
But here, there is plenty of light, and the surrounding area is no longer an endless forest, but an open area, and in the middle of this flat land is a small village.
The village was very small, and there were not many villagers, except for the seven or eight people who brought them in, all Lin Moran could see were the women doing housework in front of his house, and the children playing around them.
Lin Moran followed and walked inside, and suddenly felt very strange, everyone is born, old, sick and dead, but why can't you see an old man here?
"Don't you have any old people here? Do you really have the art of immortality? Or do you have some secret method to keep your face forever? Can you tell me? I also want to be young and beautiful forever! Lin Moran's flattering expression was two extremes from her normal appearance.
Jiang Muyuan was dumbfounded, he never thought that Lin Moran, who had always looked cold and indifferent, would have such a bright smile and flattering others.
Especially, when Lin Moran made this kind of demeanor, he looked quite good-looking.
It's even better.
However, Jiang Muyuan appreciates her demeanor, but it doesn't mean that others will appreciate it too.
Among the people who brought them here, the one named Banshan at the head said: "We don't have any immortal skills, you can't see the old people, it's just that they will die naturally when they reach age." ”
"Then there must be some who are not dead, are there none? Impossible, right? It's not the kind of person who suddenly feels that he is old, and he will suddenly die with a bang, he must live to an age, and then die slowly, how old is the oldest? Are they all 200 years old? Lin Moran guessed wildly.
Banshan looked at her strangely and said, "I brought you in, not to let you ask this or that, be honest, I promise to send you out well, otherwise, don't blame us for being polite!" ”
Lin Mo pouted, and followed them into a room with some dissatisfaction, the houses here are all adobe houses with thatched roofs, and the inside of the house is also very simple, the tables, chairs and benches have not been painted, and they have been used for a long time, and they look dirty.
Lin Moran silently summarized here, there is no money, but people live very comfortably, obviously the people here are very content, and there is no material desire.
After entering the house, most of the people dispersed, leaving only Banshan and a young man who didn't look very old.
They didn't speak, but Jiang Muyuan naturally found a bench to sit down. Lin Moran watched his movements flow smoothly, and he also wanted to sit down, but was pulled by Lin Moqian, and finally did not sit.
Jiang Muyuan noticed his abnormality, and before he could make a remedy, he said: "People outside have been curious, what exactly do we have here, and they even broke in three times and twice to disturb our lives. Although we don't have anything to see, but we can't bear to disturb it, so we set those traps, I didn't expect this to stop you, it seems that our traps need to be stronger again. ”
"You can't say that, if you leave the village completely open, but you transfer your secrets so that they won't find anything when they come in, then you can really cut off their curiosity and make them not want to come back to Mount Kinabalu again. Do you know what this biggest secret in the world is? That is, there are no secrets. Lin Moran said mysteriously.
Banshan glanced at her and said with a smile: "This girl is really interesting, I haven't seen such an interesting woman for many years." Jiang Muyuan, the purpose of your visit to Shenshan this time should be just to let me see her, right? ”
Jiang Muyuan already knew that his secret could not be kept, so he smiled: "I also know that I can't find anything here, but it's just to satisfy her curiosity and dispel her idea of coming here again in the future." You see, for the sake of her being young and ignorant, let's take it lightly. ”
The two of them were mysterious, and the forest ink they said was surrounded by clouds and mountains, and she really couldn't bear it, so she asked, "What are you talking about?" If you really want me to know something, just tell me happily, do you have to put me to some test? ”
"There is no need for the test, if you can successfully walk to the periphery of the fog, it already shows that you have enough ability, even with Jiang Muyuan's help, it is not easy to come over smoothly. Now I will take you to see the greatest secret of our people, which is what you call the elixir of immortality. ”
As he spoke, he got up and led them to the back of the village.
After walking over, Lin Moran realized that there was a cave behind it. There is a forest next to the back of the village, and it is not clear what is visible in the dozens of meters inside, after walking in, Lin Moran saw that the strange rocks in the forest are craggy, the distribution of the stones is a little loose, around the stones, there are some strange flowers and plants, which are not common plants outside, and I don't know what the effect is.
Halfway up the mountain, he walked up to a plant with leaves like a palm, and said, "Here is a medicinal herb, and each plant has medicinal properties. As for what you said about immortality, in fact, in the final analysis, it is just some ways to prolong life, this girl said, we don't have old people here, let's say that we have the art of rejuvenating the face, in fact, what you said is right, we do rely on these herbs to delay aging. For example, I am only in my forties to outsiders, but I am actually in my fifties. ”
Lin Moran looked at him in surprise and asked in disbelief, "How did you do it?" What kind of herb is it? Is there any recipe? Tell me about it! ”
Jiang Muyuan helplessly stopped her and said, "Don't talk nonsense, listen to him." ”
Lin Moran quieted down, and only then did he say: "I won't tell you the formula, the herbs can't be found outside, only the environment and soil of this forest can survive, even if you take the herbs out, you can't cultivate them, so don't waste your efforts." If you want to bring people over and attack in a big way, I believe you will not succeed, although those traps can't stop you, but it doesn't mean that you can't stop others, even if you are powerful, you can't take care of everyone. ”
Lin Moran knew very well that what he was saying was telling the truth, the area of this sacred mountain was not small at all, and it was impossible to surround it without a few thousand people, but if they were not surrounded, as long as they left a gap, they would flee from here.
But once there are more people, as long as one person touches the mechanism, they will implicate the people around them and suffer together, and Lin Moran really can't do everything.
