Chapter Eighty-Five, The Gates of Hell

"Little Yanque girl, do you really know?" Jiang Hu asked.

"The celestial dwellers, in fact, only lived for more than five hundred years, how can there be as many as two thousand four hundred years, and those who can live for such a long time are not immortals at all, but monsters. Xiao Yanque replied.

Qiu Luoluo was quite surprised, she usually saw that she went to the mountains to play, Xiao Yanque could always use reading as an excuse to prevaricate, Qiu Luoluo said that she was a hypocrisy, this time, I never thought about it, it really came in handy!

"I just said that the rumors are not credible, and they must be exaggerating by those guys on the rivers and lakes. Jiang Hu said proudly.

"Xiao Yanque, tell me in detail. ”

"Miss, even if it's written in a book, you can't believe it, it's already the limit for people to live to be 100 years old, and if you live for more than 500 years, it's against the sky, what kind of good thing can it be?" Xiao Yanque said.

"In life, there must be something to seek, and strange people in the world can be praised, presumably, this person must have a way to prolong life. Qiu Luoluo said.

Looking at the old forest of Qiquan in the distance, still beckoning in the distance, the gloomy place, like Huangquan Road, Xiao Yanque didn't feel like talking about it.

This quote comes from the book "Anecdotes of the Rivers and Lakes", written by a certain scholar, named the Scarlet Old Man, not the Heavenly and Human Layman.

But Xiao Yanque felt that this person was a celestial layman, and there were examples to illustrate, which could be compared one by one.

The blood-colored old man, whose real name is Ren Changsheng, comes from a poor peasant family, and after thirteen months of gestation, he is a freak.

On the night of the birth, it rained blood, accompanied by a foul smell. In the early morning of the second day, the crops withered, the pond water floated fish, the peasants all called it a demon, begged to be executed, the father was beaten to death by the peasants in order to protect his son, and the mother took him to escape and entered the mountains and forests.

After a month, Ren Changsheng was already able to walk around on the ground, babbling, and showing an amazing growth rate, one day his mother was on the way to feed, encountered a big worm, and was devoured by it, which was miserable, all of which was in Ren Changsheng's eyes.

When the big worm saw that he was young, he took him back to the nest as a tiger cub and raised him until he was three years old. At that time, Ren Changsheng had grown into a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. With a strong physique and a strong force, at night, thinking of the revenge of killing his mother, he fought with the big insect and beat him to death, injuring one eye and scratching his face. He drank the blood of the great insects, went into the mountains and forests, hunted for a living, learned the skills of a wild beast, stayed in a cave in the mountains and forests at night, drank the blood of animals when he was thirsty, and tore the flesh of animals when he was hungry.

After another ten years, Ren Changsheng's body had reached fifty or sixty years old, with white temples and wrinkles, like an old man. One day he came to the village where he was born and raised, and when he thought of his father's tragedy, he was so angry that he killed all the people in the village, and when he was tired, he drank his blood and ate his flesh.

He was surprised to find that after drinking human blood, the body did not continue to age, and in order to ensure that he survived for a long time, he was out of control. Abandon hunting other animals and turn into a man-eating demon.

After a few years of time, the people of the rivers and lakes were panicked, the knights volunteered to kill this person, after several major battles, the knights suffered heavy losses, Ren Changsheng was captured, after escaping, he was seriously injured, his teeth were all broken, and he had to take refuge in the mountains and forests, and became a wandering beast again.

In order to ensure that he can prolong his life under the limited supply of human blood, he has no choice but to seek other methods, wandering in the mountains and forests all day long, slowing down aging by preying on poor unlucky hunters and pursuers.

And just like that, three hundred years passed.

When people were immersed in the flow of the long river of history and forgot about this ogre, there was a chivalrous man who saw a rickety old man in the mountains and got his inheritance.

In the end, it is said that Ren Changsheng, who suffered by himself, was killed by his own disciple, the chivalrous man, and his blood was sucked clean, and the chivalrous man was poisoned to death because he ate the poisonous mushrooms in the mountains.

At this point, no one has ever seen a blood-sucking demon in the world again.

"The two thousand four hundred-year-old celestial layman is not recorded in the book, so it can be seen that it is fake. And Ren Changsheng is true, historical figures have also had ways to prolong their lives. People on the rivers and lakes like to spread falsehoods and reverse right and wrong, I think this Ren Changsheng is a layman of the day, what do you think?" Xiao Yanque summed up at the end of the story.

"The spring is like an eye, and it is rumored that it is miraculous, these guys are still really imaginative. Jiang Hu said.

"Hundreds of years ago, we can't tell about it, since we have reached the place where the story originated, let's go and see. Qiu Luoluo disagrees with either statement.

As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and only when she sees the seven springs in person can she distinguish the truth from the false.

"Miss. Xiao Yanque shook his head in disagreement, "Don't forget, we still have important things to do." ”

"Searching for right and wrong, revealing the truth, that's what I'm going to do. Qiu Luoluo said.

"What about him?"

"Whatever he does, first look for the spring. ”

"This..."Jiang Hu rarely made Xiao Yanque happy once, "No, never, the old forest of Qiquan, the forest is deep and dense, there are many beasts in it, close to the big insect ridge, there are more big insects infested, they are not a joke, different from other big insects, they often act in groups, one dispatch, that is, five or six, my convoy, has encountered them, one hundred and ten people, lost half, only to escape, the fallen girl went, I am not a curse girl, if there is a three long and two short, I Jiang Hu will feel guilty for a lifetime." ”

"My life is up to me, since I can touch it, the truth of the facts, why not disclose it to the people, this time, I have to go. Qiu Luoluo laughed loudly, and rode away, and the horse's hooves were in the wild grass, and a green and bloody path was waded out.

"Miss, calm down. The little finch chased after him.

"My dear mother. Jiang Hu slapped his thigh and raised his whip.

After chasing after thousands of people, he finally caught up with Qiu Luoluo at a place one step away from Qiquan Old Forest, and Xiao Yanque's voice was hoarse.

"Miss, don't be willful, this place is full of dangers, in case of an accident, how can I explain to the monarch?"

"How can there be gods and ghosts in the world, what seven people's eyes, I think they are all Hu Zou!" Qiu Luoluo said.

"Where is the big tiger?"

"Tiger, aren't you afraid of the sword in my hand?"

Qiu Luoluo turned over and dismounted, and was deeply shocked by the old forest in front of him.

It is majestic and gloomy, in front of the world, covering a green veil, not to the depths, it is difficult to say its strength, and it does not know its beauty.

Broad-leaved trees, tall and straight, lush. Tree to tree, still tree, layer upon layer, endless, eye cannot see through the gaps in the trees and look inside.

Under the trees are barren grasses and fallen leaves. The wind blows from the woods, chilling all over.

The ancient path leads deep into the woods, and the white mist floats on the way, like an entrance to hell, firmly attracting the soul of man, and issuing a solemn warning that once inside, only bones remain.

The horse bowed its head to graze, and the ground was restless, never taking a step forward, and the little finch pulled the reins and scolded the brown horse angrily.

"Miss, look, the horse is not leaving here, which means that it is useless for you to have a sword! Presumably, in this forest, there are countless souls of the dead, and throughout the ages, I don't know how many chivalrous people are buried here. Xiao Yanque pleaded bitterly.

Jiang Hu left the convoy far behind, turned over and dismounted, ran a few steps, and said loudly: "Luoluo girl, I know, I can't stop you, if you want to go, I'll go with you." ”

"What are you messing with?" said Xiao Yanque angrily.

"It's a shame that you're still the girl's personal maid, you don't know the girl's temper, once it's something she decides, I'm afraid I won't hit the south wall and not look back. Jiang Hu gritted his teeth and said.

He didn't want to go, how dangerous the woods were, how could he not know? But he saw that it was getting late, and the convoy would definitely not be able to cross the Big Worm Ridge in time this night, and at night, it was the time when the big worms and robbers were active, and it was not too late to enter the ridge early tomorrow morning, and the escort was not afraid of delaying for a day.

The old forest of Qiquan is far less terrible than the Great Insect Ridge, it is just a primeval forest with a legendary color, the fierce beasts in the forest, at most a few cheetahs, do not like to attack humans, he let the team rest in the woods, the problem will not be very big. Then tonight, he can sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman and show his true colors as a man in front of Qiu Luoluo.

In order to attract the heart of this woman, he can be said to have taken great pains and did everything, because he felt that it was all worth it. With Qiu Luoluo's martial arts, appearance, and background, how many women in the world can there be, he is climbing, dreaming, and making fools.

If you get a smile from a beauty, how many men die?

If you get this girl, you will have no regrets in this life.

Qiu Luoluo turned around and smiled, "Master Jiang Hu, what you said is not right, I won't look back if I hit the south wall." ”

Jiang Hu laughed, "No matter how many crises there are, I will stand by the girl's side!"

"Are you willing to die for me?" Qiu Luoluo asked.

"A passer-by in the world, crazy once, it's once!"
