After getting rid of the black giant bear, Grandpa Tao felt that he was really old. In the process of booby-trapping the black giant bear this time, if it were not for Wang Yan's hard work, he would have lost his life. In order not to have regrets, he decided to tell Wang Yan something. So, he called Wang Yan to his side.

"Yan'er, grandpa is old, I don't know how many days I can live, there are some things that should be known to you. Grandpa Tao said slowly: "The country we live in is called the July Kingdom, which is divided into seven main cities: Red Moon City, Orange Moon City, Yellow Moon City, Green Moon City, Blue Moon City, and Purple Moon City. And Purple Moon City is also called Moon Emperor City, in the north of the July Kingdom, it is our great national capital, and it is the place where the emperor lives. The forest we are in now is located in the southern part of the July Kingdom, near Red Moon City. ”

Touching Wang Yan's head caressingly, Grandpa Tao continued: "There has always been a very strange phenomenon in the July Kingdom, that is, all people do not live to be seventy years old, even the emperor is the same. In the 300 years since the founding of the July Kingdom, six emperors have died at the age of 70, and before their deaths, these emperors were in very good health. Of course, most of the ordinary subjects died before they were seventy years old. ”

"Isn't there anyone trying to find a way to prolong life?" Wang Yan asked suspiciously.

"Kid, you ask well, who doesn't want to live a few more years. However, in the past few hundred years, there have been countless capable people and talents in the July State, and they have devoted their whole lives to research, but they are still unable to do anything. About forty years ago, the previous emperor died, and a new emperor succeeded to the throne. After hearing a wandering warlock say that there is a spirit grass in the primeval forest of Red Moon City, which can make people immortal, the emperor was overjoyed, so he ordered the warlock to lead many imperial doctors in the imperial city to find it, and at the same time, in order to protect the spirit grass found from being lost, he also sent the general Yue Jing to lead 20,000 well-equipped soldiers to guard. My grandfather was the captain of the guard team of the Imperial Physician Hall in the Imperial Palace, and I had extraordinary martial arts, and I usually got along well with the Imperial Doctors, so I learned a lot of medical skills from the Imperial Physicians and also learned a lot of herbal medicine. A lot of what I've taught you over the past few years is something I learned back then. “

Hearing this, Wang Yan finally knew why Grandpa Tao was so powerful in kung fu and clever medical skills, "What happened later? What happened? Grandpa, why did you stay in this forest alone?"

"Later," Grandpa Tao continued, "when we came to this forest after all the hard work, we realized that this place was too big. We searched around the forest for more than ten days, but we couldn't find the kind of spirit grass that the warlock described. Under the pressure of the general Yuejing, the warlock finally told the truth. The so-called spirit grass was simply made up by him out of thin air, and he wanted to deceive the emperor of a large amount of gold and silver treasures before leaving and running to other countries, so that even if the emperor found out that he was deceived in the future, there would be nowhere to find him. But he didn't expect that the emperor would let him come together to find the spirit grass. How can you find something that doesn't exist at all? Along the way, he tried to escape several times, only to find that there was no chance at all. The 20,000 army surrounded everyone in the middle to protect him, and he flew with wings. ”

"That warlock is abominable. Wang Yan was also angry when he heard this.

"Yes, we were all stunned when we learned all this. The general Yuejing was furious, and with a single sword, he split the deceitful warlock in half. But we can't go back like this, the emperor was persuaded by the sworn warlocks, and used the army and many imperial doctors to find it. Now I haven't found anything, so I went back and told the emperor that it was just a scam, and that there was no herb for immortality, and that the emperor had to kill us all. Under such circumstances, the general Yuejing gave an order to the imperial doctors, even if there is no spiritual grass as the liar said, we must enter the primeval forest to find rare and exotic grasses that can prolong our lives, so as to live up to the emperor's expectations. So, instead of looking at the edge of the forest, we began to march deeper into the primeval forest, and in such a way, we were almost completely annihilated. ”

"Ah," Wang Yan was taken aback when he heard this, "Are there many animals or monsters in the depths of the primeval forest?"

"Yes, it's not just a lot, it's just a myriad of monsters. Grandpa Tao's voice changed a little, and he seemed to have returned to the terrible scene of the past.

"We entered the primeval forest under the escort of the army, and it was calm at first, and we did find some rare herbs that were not common. But such herbs are still available in the palace, and it is not possible to take them back and pay for them. We had to go deeper. On the afternoon of the eleventh day of entering the primeval forest, we came to the vicinity of a large canyon, and the general Yuejing ordered to camp at the entrance of the canyon to rest, and then cross the canyon the next day. When the army was set up, three hundred soldiers were set aside to stand guard around, and the rest of the soldiers cooked with us, and everyone relaxed. But at this moment, a mutation occurred. We first felt the earth tremble violently, and when we were wondering, we saw more than a dozen monsters rushing out of the Grand Canyon, we had never seen such a membranous monster, they were strange-looking, huge, and fast-moving. The soldiers on guard immediately rushed up to try to stop the monsters from storming our camp. What a tragic scene it was, the soldiers' broadswords and spears slashed at the monster, and they couldn't hurt the monster at all. And the monster can trample a soldier into a pulp with one kick, and tear a soldier apart in one bite. The heavy armor worn on the soldiers' bodies seemed to be as thin and brittle as paper at this time, and it could not protect them at all. And more and more monsters are rushing out of the Grand Canyon. At this time, the general Yue Jing was not afraid of danger, he had already seen through life and death on the battlefield, and immediately led all the soldiers to rush forward, leaving only a hundred soldiers to escort the imperial doctors to evacuate. And I was among the soldiers who were left behind. ”

Speaking of this, Grandpa Tao's tears flowed: "We evacuated quickly, and at that time we only hated ourselves for having a few legs, and the imperial doctors were relatively old, and it was in the forest, trees and grass hindered us, so that our evacuation speed was getting slower and slower. The roar of the monsters behind him, the screams of the soldiers when they died, finally made some of the imperial doctors so frightened that their whole bodies weakened, and they fell to the ground, unable to walk anymore. So I ordered the soldiers on the escort duty to support the doctors and continue walking. We had only walked less than two miles before the sound of the soldiers behind us had disappeared. I dare not imagine that 20,000 heavily armored soldiers were all killed in the battle in just two miles of our run. When we turned around and saw the monster rushing in the direction of our retreat, everyone knew that we were about to be finished. So everyone was in a mess, and the soldiers who were supporting the imperial doctor also left behind, and everyone rushed to run around and flee for their lives. Seeing this scene out of control, I couldn't do anything but try my best to escape. I knew martial arts, so I went up the tree and jumped and ran from the tree, so that I always had to run faster than I could run on the ground. I didn't look back, and I could feel a few monsters chasing me. I tried my best to escape for my life, and when I saw a big river with a fast current, I plunged into the river and was instantly swept far away by the river. I saw the monsters chasing me stop by the river. Later, exhausted, I fainted......"

"Grandpa, are you really the only one who escaped?" Wang Yan asked softly.

"Don't worry, listen to Grandpa slowly," Grandpa Tao then recalled, "Later, when I woke up, I found myself washed away by the river to the shore of a lake. I was glad I didn't die, and after making sure there were no monsters around, I escaped, and I ran out of the forest until I saw the village before I stopped. Monsters don't show up where there are villages, and I'm slowly calming down from my fear. I knew that I couldn't go back to the palace to see the emperor, and as the captain of the guard of the Imperial Physician Hall, it was my duty to protect the Imperial Doctor. All the imperial physicians have died in the mouths of monsters or under the hooves of monsters, and I have been derelict in my duties and committed a capital crime. And I didn't finish the task of finding spiritual grass for the emperor, which is also a capital crime, so I returned to the forest, built a hut here, and planned to spend my life looking for a herb that can prolong life, and go back to the emperor to complete this task that everyone has not completed even with their lives."

When Grandpa Tao said this, he was already in tears. "Grandpa Tao," Wang Yan didn't expect Grandpa Tao to have such a painful experience, and wanted to comfort Grandpa Tao, but he felt powerless, so he had to call softly and cry together.

Yan'er didn't cry, and listened to grandpa continue. Grandpa Tao wiped away his tears: "I live here alone, and it has taken me decades to run through every mountain and canyon around me, taste thousands of plants myself, and understand the role of these plants through my own feelings. Through the observation of various animals, I also found out which plants can cure diseases and which plants can detoxify, which is a little gratifying. Although I still can't complete the emperor's task, these herbs found can treat many diseases that couldn't be cured before, and I am satisfied that they can cure the people of our country. Later, I found you seriously injured on the way to collect medicine. ”

Grandpa Tao, who helped Wang Yan wipe away his tears, smiled: "Do you know the way, you are a great gift from God, which makes me happy." Not only do I have someone to accompany me and I am no longer lonely, but you are also very smart and hardworking. Let my knowledge be passed on so that I don't have to worry anymore. I'm so happy. Good words, promise grandpa a request, in the future, after grandpa dies, you will bury me here, you bring the herbs that grandpa has picked over the years out of the mountain, to treat the poor people in the country of July for free, in order to fulfill grandpa's wish. ”

"Grandpa Tao, don't worry," Wang Yan nodded: "Yan'er must remember Grandpa's words!"
