The cold knife tentatively slashed at Xiao Yifei's arm, and the fear of imminent death still made him involuntarily close his eyes. Just as he was waiting for www.biquge.info the blood to flow out, he suddenly heard a woman's scolding, followed by a "dang" sound, and the crisp sound of the knife falling to the ground. Xiao Yifei opened his eyes, only to find that the woman with the knife was actually his senior sister. The mood in the room had changed subtly, and the person standing there took a few steps back, looking fully guarded.

And at some point, an old man with a white beard and white eyebrows appeared at the door, he twisted his beard, and still asked with a signature kind smile on his face: "I haven't seen you for ten years, why are you still so naughty?" Now that you're here, why don't you go to me and embarrass these children? Fortunately, Xiao Hei came back, and I knew that it was Fei'er who was in trouble, and looking at the scars on Xiao Hei's body, I knew that it was your masterpiece. What's wrong? You don't think he's the guy you're looking for, do you? ”

Master? How did he get here? Xiao Yifei looked at the familiar old man with an excited face, and then looked at the senior sister who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and held back his tears so that his tears did not fall.

"You've always had better luck than I do." The human, who was tightly covered from head to toe, "I can't imagine that you have ruined my good deeds again, do you really want to force me to a dead end?" ”

"There are many wide roads in the world, so why should you bother yourself?" Shigong waved his hand at Xiao Yifei and said, "Jing'er, take him away quickly, it seems that he is very scared." It's time to go back and recuperate for a while. I still have some things at the moment that I want to catch up with my old friends. ”

Xiao Yifei didn't know what Shigong talked about with that person, and naturally he didn't know what the relationship between them was. I only knew that after my master went back, he didn't mention anything, only told him that it was just a prank, in order to make him come forward. Shigong diagnosed Xiao Yifei's illness until he was sure that he was safe and sound, and then he was reluctantly relieved.

However, in the following days on the mountain, he vaguely heard people mention that the mysterious figure had old friends with his master, but no one had ever seen the true face of that person, and no one knew who he was. But Xiao Yifei knows very well that it is definitely not a joke!

It wasn't until he went down the mountain that his master summoned him to his room and repeatedly told him to be careful after going down the mountain, and not to make up his own mind in case of emergency.

It was during that secret conversation that he heard the strange title from his master for the first time: immortal. If it weren't for Shi Gong's words, he must have thought that it might be the story told by the old woman before she put the child to bed: even Shi Gong didn't know exactly where those people came from and where they gathered, only that the oldest in the legend was Peng Zu, who lived for more than 800 years, and then suddenly disappeared. The mysterious man of that day was one of those many people.

"Are they the legendary immortals?" Xiao Yifei asked this quite childishly at the time, he thought that this would make Shi Gong laugh, so he raised his head and looked at Shi Gong with a smile.

But what he didn't expect was that in exchange for Shigong, he nodded meaningfully and sighed: "For ordinary people, I'm afraid they are immortals." As the saying goes, people live for a lifetime, but for them, time is almost like it has stopped. Their contemporaries have long since turned into mud, but they are still alive in this world, which is too strange in the eyes of ordinary people, and they will even be regarded as monsters,...... It is also possible to worship them as immortals. ”

"Wouldn't that be great? Can you stay alive forever? Xiao Yifei looked at his master with wide eyes and asked.

Shigong sighed, stretched out his hand and stroked Xiao Yifei's head twice before saying, "You are really wrong, immortal...... Everyone wants to live forever, but when you really have an immortal body, it's like a strange curse. Not everyone can endure such a long and lonely life. They are divided into two parts, one is tired of the curious eyes of others, and is even more afraid that their identities will be discovered by others, so they live in seclusion in the mountains, trying every means to live a life of isolation from the world, and even become the mysterious strange people in the legend; The other group of people are ambitious to make a difference, and even do not hesitate to use their bodies as capital to become strategists or generals. But they also have to face a problem: as time goes by, and their bodies have not changed compared to ordinary people, they have to hide this strangeness, and try to pretend to be like ordinary people, and they have to think of a way out for themselves, just like ordinary people, who will eventually disappear from this world one day. ”

"Disappear? How to disappear? Could it be that they still know how to do stealth? This kind of conversation really aroused Xiao Yifei's interest, and he looked at Shi Gong with wide eyes and continued: "Are they weirdos? ”

"You should have heard the story of human beings becoming immortals when you were a child, right? For example, the legendary Jiang Ziya and Zhuge Liang...... That could just be an incarnation of them. After achieving fame, they will retire, sometimes it is their voluntary choice, but sometimes it is a last resort, because once their secrets are revealed, it will bring them endless disasters. They will remain silent for a long time, until the people who know them are no longer in this world, and they may reappear. Shi Gong sighed and said.

"Then they're going to face death sooner or later, right? Didn't you say that no matter how long they live, there will always be an end? Xiao Yifei asked curiously.

This was a question that made Shigong stunned for a moment, and he sighed after a while: "That's right, I've never thought about this problem." Perhaps, no matter how long they live, there will always be a day when they will grow old, after all, they are still mortals. This is probably the so-called prescription for longevity in the world, right? ”

"Like the guy who once caught me? Who is he? Did Shigong know him for a long time? Xiao Yifei has too many questions to ask.

"I guess I know. When I first met him, he looked like no more than an eighteen-year-old young man, with black hair and an extraordinary bearing. At that time, I was just an eight or nine-year-old child. But the second time I saw him, I was thirty years old, and he was still the same as when I first met him. See you again for the third time...... It was more than ten years ago, and thirty years later, but he still looked the same, which couldn't help but amaze me, and it was at that time that I knew his identity. Shigong sighed and said, and at the same time he couldn't help but shiver, "At that time, I knew that there would be such a strange group of people alive in the world, and they might be living around us. ”
