On the way up the mountain, he mistakenly found that the rhododendrons that had bloomed all over the mountains and fields had not bloomed this year. And in the past, Longque Mountain, which was full of green cypresses and pines, is now only bare mountain tops and strange rock cliffs, what happened?

After walking and walking, I finally reached the halfway point of the mountain, where there are many caves. He counted the caves and walked in, stopping when he reached the mouth of the ninth cave.

This cave is no different from the others, except that there is a fire flickering inside.

Standing outside the cave, he could smell a hint of popularity. He could taste the tiredness in the smell, the anger in the tiredness, and most importantly - hatred!

That was the purpose of his trip.

Many people's lives tend to be born and defeated by hatred. But in any case, it is undeniable that all those earth-shattering changes since ancient times have been born of hatred.

There are no flowers and no trees on the mountain, and naturally there is no habitat for cuckoo birds. So when the cuckoos at the bottom of the mountain resumed their crying, the crickets crickets under the soil layer on the mountain chimed in.

"Crickets~Crickets~"

He took three steps towards the entrance of the cave and then stopped again. He had no intention of going in, but at this time, an old voice came from inside the cave, "Senior brother, come in if you come." ”

That's what the weary, angry, hateful man says.

Yan Shu snorted, "Senior brother, you really know how to climb high branches." ”

The person inside sighed, and then regained his composure and said, "Since it's not, let's go, this is not where you came from, and you can't get in." ”

Yan Shuxuan sneered: "The inch-hearted boy has been locked up for decades, and his head is really confused? Since I can get here, I can go in." ”

"What do you call me?" said the man in the cave

"Naturally, it's an inch-hearted boy, is it possible to call you an inch-hearted venerable?"

"Hahaha, you're the second person in the world to call me that. "Venerable Cunxin is not only not angry, but misses this title a little.

"Then who is the first one?" Yan Death Error actually already knew the answer, but he wanted to hear the Venerable Inch Heart say it himself.

After a while, the voice of Venerable Cunxin came from inside the cave, "I'm afraid that the first person will never come, so this world will be peaceful." ”

Although he said that he was peaceful, he was extremely sad in his heart.

Yan Shu smiled and said: "The three thousand worlds have been shattered into dust, do you have a world in your eyes?"

"You!"

"Is it really you?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"He's not coming, he's not coming!"

The Venerable Cunxin in the cave was emotional, and the old man's voice had a trace of vitality and vitality.

Yan Shucao was also a little excited, "If you don't believe it, then come out and have a look!"

As soon as these words came out, I heard the sound of the Venerable Inch Heart in the cave stepping on the sand and stones to rush out. But before the Venerable One had come out, the voice had stopped.

The two of them stood inside and outside the cave, time passed, the world was silent, and the night was like that heart, trembling when it was beating.

Eventually, he walked into the cave, calm, but unable to suppress the enthusiasm in his heart.

An old man with a straight waist and a coarse coat looked at the entrance of the cave stupidly. When he saw the figure of the mistake, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Old monster!"

"Stinky boy!"

The names of the two are really a bit weird, an old man in the middle of his life actually called a person who is much younger than himself, an old monster, and another middle-aged man with a trace of wrinkles in the corners of his eyes actually called a stinky boy who is much older than himself.

No one can understand the deep meaning of this, and no one will understand the friendship between the two.

Yan Shu looked at Venerable Cunxin and sighed, "Stinky boy, even your master's master has to call me grandpa, you are too presumptuous!"

Venerable Cunxin smiled and said, "Old monster, you don't mean that in your eyes, everyone in the world is a junior, so I call you an old monster to your liking." ”

Yan Shucao shook his head, "After so many years, you still haven't changed. ”

Venerable Cunxin stretched out his hand, "If I could change, I wouldn't be where I am today." ”

Yan Shujiao stretched out his hand and shook it with him, the two were friends who had forgotten their years, and they hadn't seen each other for many years but still cared about each other.

Under the firelight in the cave, Yan Yan mistakenly found that there was only one stone bed, one stone table, and one stone bench.

There was an empty bowl on the stone table, which must have been used by Venerable Cunxin for dinner on weekdays. Yan Shucao looked carefully and found that there was a food box next to the stone bench.

The box was four or five times larger than usual, and it was more like a wooden barrel than a rice bottle, except with a lid on it.

He stepped forward, leaned over and removed the lid, and found the rice in the box. Although the weather is not cold, the rice is already cold and has a pungent taste. Looking back at the bowl on the stone table, he asked, "You usually eat this?"

Venerable Cunxin may have been used to it, so he didn't care and said, "They think it's too troublesome to deliver food every day, so they bring half a month's worth of food at a time." Fortunately in winter, the rice is frozen into a lump, but it still melts when you crack it open and put it in your mouth. In the summer, the rice stinks overnight, but if you stutter, you won't die of hunger. ”

Yan Shu's brows were furrowed, and his eyes showed anger, "They did it on purpose, didn't they?"

Venerable Cunxin turned around and sat on the stone bed, touching the hard stone bed with his hand, and the ravines on it were of different depths, and he did not know how he fell asleep on it every day. He laughed dryly, "It's okay, I'm old, and I don't like to eat and drink." ”

Yan Yu sat on the stone bench and was silent.

"By the way, how did you get in, there's a missing array outside. Venerable Cunxin asked knowingly, but he just wanted to change the subject. Although this method was a bit clumsy, Yan Shuqiao still replied seriously, "You forgot, I am an old monster who has been practicing for two hundred years, how can the Lost Array be difficult to hold me?"

Venerable Cunxin smiled, "Yes, it's a miracle that people can live so long. ”

Yan Shu snorted, "Who stipulates that people can't live to be two hundred years old?" He didn't mean to question Venerable Cunxin, but he was just such a character.

"Yes, no one says you can't live to be 200 years old. ”

"I will live not only to be 200 years old, but also to live 300 years old! I will live forever to see if it is God's destiny or my destiny!" his tone was arrogant, and his eyes were like torches, as if he wanted to burn everything in the world.

Venerable Inch Heart recalled the past, but many fragments of his memory had been blurred.

"I was young when you left, and after all these years, I never thought you'd come back. ”

Yan Shucao stretched out his hand to block the palm-sized heaven and earth at the entrance of the cave, "Actually, I should have come back when you were in trouble, but people, it's boring to live for so long." Back then, I thought, or you'll just die clean, so I didn't come out to help you. But after so many years, I can't imagine that you stinky boy will not die, so I will come back to see you. ”1
