The legend of the Fountain of Youth

Yiyan didn't really take it seriously, but said helplessly: "You know, my father left Nanlu this time, in the name of coming to me, before he returned to the village, of course I can't walk in Rongzhou City in the open, isn't that my father's platform?" ”

Mo Zhiyu nodded, indicating that he also knew about the Yi family, and then he asked, "I heard that you have gained something here?" ”

"Yes, it's just that Yunmen just gave me a hint, and their clues were only found from ancient books, and time has passed, and it is not very accurate." "But luckily, they also gave me a designated location, which is here, so that I can collect other information more easily." ”

"You said that time has passed, how can you collect other information?" Mo Zhiyu asked suspiciously.

"Hee-hee, layman." Yiyan glanced at Mo Zhiyu, but this honor didn't make people feel the girl's playfulness at all, so Mo Zhiyu hurriedly took another sip of tea to suppress the shock.

Seeing that Mo Zhiyu was like this again, he was not in the mood to look at the joke anymore, and continued: "Our Yijia is a well-known family of explorers, and we have our own unique ways of finding ancient treasures, one of which is to study the local legends.

Time is indeed the time pass, but everything that has existed will always leave traces, and legends are the best traces. ”

"During this time, with the help of the Cheng family, I visited all the older villages in Rongzhou City and collected some of the stories from the old people in these places. The story of one of the series clearly proves one thing......"

Yiyan said, moving the empty plate on the table to the side, taking out a cowhide map and spreading it out on the table, she pointed to a place on the map, and said solemnly, "Here, there used to be a fountain of immortality!" ”

Mo Zhiyu looked at this map carefully, guessing that it was a map of the suburbs of Rongzhou City, and then he asked, "Does the Fountain of Immortality mean that the people here have an infinite lifespan?" If there really are people with infinite lifespans, how did they disappear? ”

"Of course, there can't be any infinite lifespan, even if he is as strong as Xuanwu Gong, living for more than 2,000 years is almost the limit." Yiyan said very calmly, it seems that because of this situation in their family, she has a persistence in longevity but is not overly paranoid.

"These legends do not explicitly point out the existence of any 'infinite lifespan', but there are several so-called 'immortal villages' around the Fountain of Youth, and the people in these villages can basically live to be about 120 years old."

"One hundred and twenty?" Mo Zhiyu frowned suspiciously, "This is not an exaggeration, you and I are both two hundred years old now. ”

"For us Yuanli monks, one hundred and twenty years old is of course nothing, but if you think about it, the legends of these places refer to the world tens of millions of years ago, when there was no Yuanli, except for us gods, they were all ordinary human races."

Yiyan said, "There used to be a saying that 'a hundred years are like a dream, and seventy years are rare'. Before the appearance of Yuanli, the average lifespan of the human race was around forty or fifty years old, and it was very rare to be able to reach the age of seventy! Therefore, if there were people who lived to be one hundred and twenty years old in that era, they could be called 'shemales', and a shemale would be very surprised, let alone shemales from several villages! ”

"Shemale...... How is it used? Mo Zhiyu looked at Yiyan with a look of not knowing what to say.

Yiyan said it up, but she didn't notice Mo Zhiyu's complaint, she continued: "So, it can be guessed that this fountain of immortality has a very powerful effect on prolonging life!" ”

"The Fountain of Youth, which has been said for so long, if it really exists, it must have attracted all forces from all sides a long time ago, and even the Cheng family cannot completely hide it." Mo Zhiyu said, "You shouldn't have found it either, right?" Or have you found the ruins? ”

"I didn't find any ruins, but I found an ancient tower." Yiyan smiled and said, "So, the rest is up to you." ”

"Okay, let's get to the place, let's go." Mo Zhiyu said, put down the teacup and stood up.

"Don't worry, put things on first." Yiyan said, rummaging through his storage bag, and turned out a piece of something like a pigskin and handed it to Mo Zhiyu, "Here, take it!" ”

Mo Zhiyu took the skin, shook it, and recognized it as a human skin mask, so he said, "You must bring this?" ”

"Of course, how famous are you?" Yiyan said with certainty, "I just walked out with you so openly, didn't I directly tell others that you were looking for good things?" Put it on honestly, don't live up to the kindness of Miss Cheng and Second Young Master Cheng. ”

Mo Zhiyu looked at the human skin mask in his hand, and said with some disgust: "Is this the only style you have there?" ”

"Walking the rivers and lakes is like this, is it good to use a little white face to catch a girl?" Yiyan said impatiently, he had already taken out a few more tattered clothes from the storage bag, and hurried to change, my time is very precious! ”

"Okay, okay!" Mo Zhi couldn't resist her, so he reluctantly agreed, put the human skin mask on his head, and said while putting it on, "Don't peek!" ”

"The devil is peeking at you!" Yiyan Yuan's eyes narrowed, wearing a human skin mask, she couldn't determine what her expression was now, she glared at Mo Zhiyu angrily and turned her head directly, thunder couldn't move.

In the early afternoon, just after the noon heat, two plainly dressed and fierce knights walked out of the high-rise building of "Yao Zixuequ", rented two good horses directly from the stable of the high-rise building, and went straight to the east of the city.

Of course, these two people are Mo Zhiyu and Yiyan, Mo Zhiyu is now wearing the human skin mask given by Yiyan, his current appearance, in addition to the exaggerated beard, also has a pimple on his face, plus this particularly rustic coarse cloth robe, at first glance he is a heinous Jiangyang thief.

Yiyan said that he could hide his identity by dressing up like this, but he really wanted to say, wouldn't it be easier to provoke officers and soldiers? Of course, Yiyan will not pay attention to his thoughts.

After Mo Zhiyu and Yiyan left Rongzhou City, Yiyan whispered to Mo Zhiyu: "Look, how many pairs of eyes are staring at that building when they came out just now?" If it weren't for Second Young Master Cheng helping to cover inside, we might not have been able to get out easily! ”
