Chapter 106: The Fountain of Eternal Life
At the foot of Huashan, there is a small town called Hanxing.
The four of them docked the Liuyun Immortal Boat in a hidden river surrounded by mountains. Take the amulet and enter Hanxing Town.
Although the town is not as prosperous as Tongwu City, it is also very lively. I don't see the fear of the coming catastrophe at all.
It stands to reason that when a few people came to the Huashan realm, they should first go up the mountain to visit the Immortal Sect. However, Bai Ze said: "Most of the Immortal Sect has been subject to the Half-Human Race, and we still don't know which side this Huashan Immortal Sect is on.
Since the Centaurs haven't attacked Xiao Zhen yet, there is no need for us to rush into the net. Find a place to live first, anyway, I have to wait for the foreign aid found by my mother. Let's scramble around and see if we can find something. ”
The four of them pretended to be passers-by and stayed in Hanxing Town.
Bai Ze said that it was better for them not to separate. If you are not familiar with life, you can also have a care.
After walking around the town for a long time, Chixiao felt strange. He asked Bai Ze: "Didn't you say that the demi-human race informed the world about the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth? ”
Bai Ze also felt strange. The people in Hanxing Town live in an orderly manner, without the slightest sense of tension about the impending disaster. Could it be that these people have already taken refuge in the half-human race? That's why they are so fearless?
It's not right to think about it. Bai Ze dared to confirm that the people here were ordinary mortals. The Centaurs should not suddenly have pity for them and protect them.
The town is not big, and the four of them walked around a few times, so as not to make anyone suspicious, Bai Ze decided to go back to the small inn first, and then discuss. When I turned around, I found Bai Jian standing in front of a small stall.
If he had come to such a place before, Bai Zhen would definitely be very excited.
Chixiao walked over and found Bai Zhen looking at a wooden gourd on the stall.
Bai Zhen picked up the gourd and said to Chixiao, "Do you want that jade gourd of yours?" ”
Chixiao looked up and down, and it was indeed very much like his own. Speaking of the gourd, he thought of one thing: "That jade gourd, haven't you opened it yet?"
Bai Zhen pursed his mouth and looked at Chixiao unhappily: "I've tried a lot of methods, but I can't open it." My brother saw it and said that the gourd was a low-grade magic weapon. The only useful thing is to confess the Lord. It's not the owner, unless you smash the gourd, you can't open it. ”
Chixiao chuckled, he really forgot about it.
The stall owner saw that the two of them were interested in their gourds, so they began to vigorously promote their things: "The two of them looked at the eyes, they were passing by our Hanxing Town."
The little girl is really discerning. This gourd is carefully carved from camphor wood that has grown for hundreds of years by the edge of the Changsheng Spring. The camphor wood was by the spring of eternal life, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth day and night, and absorbing the water of the spring of eternal life.
In this gourd, the essence of the spring of eternal life is retained. Although it is not as good as spring water, it can make people immortal. If you wear it on your body, you can still prolong your life. ”
The stall owner's words are too informative.
Bai Zhen's eyes rolled, and he felt that he could know something from the stall owner's mouth. She pretended not to believe it, and said to the stall owner: "You are talking nonsense, how can there really be immortality in this world."
I see that your gourd, that is, an ordinary wooden gourd, is as magical as you say. How is this possible? ”
The stall owner was not annoyed, and continued to Bai Zhen: "Little girl, you don't know this. He looked around, as if he was afraid of being heard. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Hanxing Town belongs to the Huashan Territory, and we have been protected by the Immortal Sect on Huashan for generations. A few months ago, a few immortals suddenly flew down from the fairy mountain. They went deep into the mountains and practiced against a spring that had long since dried up.
And guess what. ”
The stall owner is now more like a storyteller, mysterious.
Bai Zhen cooperated, and asked him with great interest: "How is it?"
"The spring came alive, and it continued to come out with clear water. The stall owner had pride on his face, as if he had revived the spring, "But the people of our town have seen it with their own eyes." ”
Presumably because he was afraid that Bai Zhen would not believe it, the stall owner said another thing: "There was a woodcutter who suddenly felt thirsty when he passed by the spring. He took a sip of the water and took a sip ......"
"And then?
Chixiao looked at Bai Zhen, a little unsure, whether her interest was pretending or real.
The stall owner lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "That woodcutter, he turned into an immortal on the spot!"
Chixiao didn't know what expression to make, so he had to lower his head. That's.
"Don't believe it, it's all true. The stall owner continued, "It soon spread in the town that the spring water was fairy water. Everyone rushed to try, but unfortunately, it was too late. The spring was protected by the immortals on the fairy mountain.
The immortals said, "That water is the spring of eternal life given by heaven and earth." Only those who have been recognized by heaven and earth can drink the spring water and become immortals. ”
In this way, this matter that sounded like nonsense, and the people of the Huashan Immortal Sect were also involved in it.
Bai Zhen thought for a while and asked, "Then how can you get the approval of heaven and earth?"
The stall owner shook his head and said in a regretful tone, "No one knows, and neither do the immortals. Later, it was suddenly rumored that the catastrophe of heaven and earth was coming, and everyone was going to be finished.
Just when everyone was terrified and thought that death was due. The immortals are here again. He told us that we are not people approved by heaven and earth, and that we cannot become immortals if we drink the water from the spring. But he can live forever with the body of a mortal.
The people in the town drank the spring water, and everyone saw what kind of catastrophe and what catastrophe was coming. ”
Don't you look away, they all think that they are immortal, what else is there to worry about. Chixiao thought to himself, it turns out that you are so calm because of this.
Bai Zhen didn't buy the wooden gourd in the end. She chose another room, which was a piece of jade. Although it is not a good jade, the dragon pattern carved on it is very vivid.
Back at the inn, Bai Zhen told Bai Ze what the stall owner said.
"Immortal Spring?" Bai Ze also didn't believe in this story, "Is it a fateful immortal recently?" first the immortal stone, then the immortal medicine prescription, and now the immortal spring. ”
And the word immortality always reminds him of the demihumans.
Lu Zhan thought for a while and said, "I've always felt strange. After such a big thing as the Heaven and Earth Tribulation was pierced, the mountain and sea realm could still be so quiet.
If this fountain of eternal life really exists, could it be that it is because of this that the mountain is so calm?"
Bai Ze also thought about it for a while, and felt that what Lu Zhan said made sense. But if you want to say that, what role does the Huashan Immortal Sect play in this?
Lu Zhan continued: "I have a guess. Perhaps the disintegration of the Immortal Cultivation line by the Centaurs was not just about weakening the power of the place.
The Fountain of Eternal Life or something, for ordinary people, is not very credible. If it is an ordinary immortal cultivator, the effect is different. ”
