"Where am I?"

When Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes again, he found that he was already lying on the bed. He looked around and found himself in a small wooden hut, very rudimentary, with only basic furniture such as a bed, a table, and two stools.

He moved his limbs and found that the pain that had torn his heart was gone, except for some soreness.

Just as he got up and was about to get out of bed, a bald young man pushed open the door with a bowl of food and walked in, "Awake?" Come, come, eat. ”

This bald young man has a very kind face, a smile on his face, and he looks like he is always honest.

Jiang Li was about to ask, but found that he didn't know how to speak, because although he was bald, he had no scars on his head, and Jiang Li didn't know if he was a monk, so he was stunned for a while.

"Harm, my name is Zhang Xiaoyu, I haven't grown hair since I was born for some reason, I'm not a monk, you can sit down and eat first." As if seeing what Jiang Li was thinking, he hurriedly explained.

Jiang Li sat down and asked, "Brother Zhang, dare to ask where this is?" How did I get here? ”

Jiang Li called Zhang Xiaoyu very useful, his eyes narrowed into a slit, he has always lived on this mountain, only the unscrupulous master and the unscrupulous senior brother, no one has ever called him a big brother.

Zhang Xiaoyu waved his hand and said very kindly: "You fainted halfway up the mountain, and it was me and Senior Brother who carried you back." As he spoke, he pointed to himself, as if to say: Yes, I am your savior.

"As for ...... here," Zhang Xiaoyu smiled mysteriously, "It's the top of the Broken Sky Mountain, in the Peach Blossom Spring!" ”

The top of the broken cang, in the peach blossom spring? So, you've reached the top of the mountain? He only vaguely remembered that he had climbed less than half of the way before he collapsed due to exhaustion, and then he didn't remember anything.

"Then this wound on my body ......"

"You have to thank my master for this, after we carried you up, we found that you were badly injured, and your legs were almost useless. The master specially gave you a pill of easy marrow, which has the effect of washing the marrow and cutting the bones, and also used a small piece of thousand-year-old purple mushroom to boil medicine for you, opening up the tricks in your body, you look at you now, you have only been lying down for less than three days, is it already fine? Zhang Xiaoyu said seriously.

Jiang Li nodded, he had already felt it just now, when he walked before, he felt that he was as light as a swallow, and walking on the ground was like walking on cotton, effortlessly.

"Brother Zhang dares to ask who your master is?"

"That's the guy you're looking for, an old man who can only fish and brag." Zhang Xiaoyu pursed his lips, and when he mentioned his master, he shook his head unconsciously.

An old man fishing? It seems that it is right, Zhang Xiaoyu's master should be the person Xun Ji asked him to come here to find.

"Brother Zhang, wait a minute, please take me to meet your master." Jiang Li arched his hand.

"Okay, no problem, it's a big deal, you eat first, I'll take you to him after eating, and you should be fishing by the lake again." Zhang Xiaoyu waved and said.

After eating, Zhang Xiaoyu led Jiang Li out of the door.

As soon as he went out, Jiang Li was stunned by the scenery in front of him, it was still the harsh winter season, and the scenery in front of him was as vibrant as spring, with flowers and fruits, and willows and willows. Then he heard a loud rushing noise behind him, and he looked up to see a waterfall pouring down the slope, and it was indeed a rapid flow of three thousand feet.

No wonder Zhang Xiaoyu said that they were in the Peach Blossom Spring, and Jiang Li only felt that he was in a landscape painting with heavy ink and color. This scene has been seen in the painting, but this scene may not be in the painting.

Looking at Jiang Li's surprised appearance, Zhang Xiaoyu was also proud, and said to Jiang Li: "This is the real Broken Cang Mountain, even if others reach the peak, without us to guide the way, they can't get here, they can only return in vain, so they call this a paradise." ”

Jiang Li was secretly frightened when he heard this, but he didn't expect that there was another mystery on the top of this broken mountain.

They waded over an arched bridge to the other side of the hill. Jiang Li looked around, only to see a small lake come into view, the lake water is crystal clear, fish and shrimp come and go, endlessly.

Suddenly, Jiang Li saw a person sitting by the lake, leaning against a big tree, with a fishing rod stuck in front of him. It's just a fishing rod, which is a slightly stronger piece of wood with a string tied to it.

The man, dressed in sackcloth and with a white beard, was yawning and staring listlessly at the lake. After staring for a moment, the man lifted the rod and threw the line out in a different direction.

Jiang Li was surprised to find that there was not even a buoy on that fishing rod, and when he looked down again, he found that there was not even a fishing hook on this fishing rod! And the bait turned out to be a small stone tied to a thread!

Seeing Jiang Li's ghostly expression, Zhang Xiaoyu couldn't help but quip: "Hey, amazing, right?" I've been here for several years, and I haven't seen a single fish caught by my master, and I know that there are so many fish in this lake that I can kill several with my harpoon closed. ”

He spoke too loudly, as if he was heard by the old man who was fishing, the old man turned his head and slashed his eyes, Zhang Xiaoyu was also stupid when he saw this, and he drooped his head and stopped talking.

Jiang Li stepped forward, bowed respectfully and hugged his fists, "Old man." ”

The old man just raised his eyelids and looked at him with slanted eyes: "Who are you?" Why come here? ”

Zhang Xiaoyu was smiling vigorously on the side, obviously knowing the origin of the people, and pretending to ask seriously.

"In Xia Jiangli, it was my grandfather Xun who asked me to come here to apprentice, and my grandfather's name was Xun Ji, saying that he was an old acquaintance with you."

"Xun Ji? What about the old immortal who is not dead yet? The old man asked with a look of disgust.

Jiang Li didn't answer, since he can remember, Xun Ji has been taking care of his own food and clothing, although Xun Ji is not his own grandfather, but in Jiang Li's heart, he has already regarded him as his own relative, this old man's words made Jiang Li feel guilty in his heart, so he didn't want to reply to him.

Seeing that Jiang Li was silent, the old man glanced at him with crooked eyes, "What?" Not happy? Originally, the old man was in the wind, and the old man was looking at him quickly. ”

"Please don't make any more insulting remarks, even if the seniors have the grace to save their lives, don't blame Jiang Li for being polite!" Jiang Li's forehead was bruised, this person repeatedly spoke disrespectfully, and Jiang Li also let go of the respect in his heart.

Zhang Xiaoyu on the side hurriedly glanced at Jiang Li, wanting to tell him not to come hard.

"Hahaha...... the old man looked up to the sky and laughed, "it's been many years since anyone spoke to the old man like this, boy, you have a kind of thing." ”

"Master, I think Jiang Li may have just woken up and not been very sober, so you don't remember the villain, bypass him this time." Zhang Xiaoyu was playing haha on the side, wanting to play a round.

"Hmph, the old man doesn't bother to deal with a child," the old man stroked his beard and said, "Your name is Jiang Li, right?" Surnamed Jiang, it seems that the origin is not small, if the old man's expectations are good, you are the remnant of the former dynasty who fled in the wilderness, right? The old man already knows the meaning of your visit, just want the old man to teach you skills to go back to the country, right? The old man sees that you don't really want to apprentice, Xiaoyu, send him down the mountain, don't come to disturb the old man's purity in the future. ”

Jiang Li, who was on the side, heard this, snorted coldly, turned around with his sleeves, and walked back without looking back.

Seeing Jiang Li's appearance, Zhang Xiaoyu stretched out his hand to stop him, but turned his head and said helplessly to the old man: "Master, what kind of trouble are you doing, didn't you say that you want to take him as an apprentice?" Why did you force him away again? ”

"You know a fart, I carefully investigated him when he was carried up by you, this son has amazing bones, good muscles and veins, and is a rare natural sword embryo in a hundred years, such a good piece of jade, you have to beat it well." The old man said earnestly.

"So that's the case," Zhang Xiaoyu suddenly realized, "then what if he doesn't understand it?" ”

"If you can't understand it, it can only mean that his mind is average, and he can't afford it, so let him go down the mountain by himself."

Hearing him say this, Zhang Xiaoyu showed a worried face again, originally thinking that he could have more junior disciples to help him do some work......

"Go and see him off, don't tell him, let him understand for himself."

"Gotcha."

Jiang Li had already returned to the room at this time, his chest was rising and falling violently, and when Xun Ji came, he said that this fishing old man was a once-in-a-lifetime talent, and let him learn from him, but now it seems that it is in vain.

Jiang Li picked up the sword box and was about to leave, just when he bumped into Zhang Xiaoyu who was coming towards him.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Li's determined appearance, opened his mouth, and looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, but finally sighed and did not speak.

"Brother Zhang, I don't know how to go down the mountain here, please take me out." Jiang Li said to Zhang Xiaoyu.

"Well, come with me."

Zhang Xiaoyu took Jiang Li along a dense forest path for a long time, and finally saw a light, Jiang Li thought to himself that this place was really secret, how could ordinary people never think that there was a paradise on the top of this mountain isolated from the world.

"Brother Zhang, let's stop here, thank you for taking care of me these days, and I'm going to say goodbye."

"Alas, don't say anything, Brother Jiang, there are some things that you have to look at the essence through the phenomenon, and sometimes, things that are too superficial often have other meanings." Zhang Xiaoyu patted Jiang Li's shoulder and said earnestly.

Seeing the essence through the phenomenon? Jiang Li turned his back to Zhang Xiaoyu and wanted to go down the mountain, hearing his words, he thought about it carefully, Xun Ji said that this person was his best friend, why did this person speak disrespectfully? Why do you want your disciples to save themselves here? Why do you want to give yourself a treasure that is hard to find?

Jiang Li smiled, after thinking through this layer, he already understood that the old man was polishing his heart, not deliberately making things difficult.

It's really another village.

"Brother Zhang, let's go, let's go back."

Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, Jiang Li had already run back a long way, and he shouted while chasing:

"Hey! I didn't say anything, you didn't hear anything! ”
