After seeing Yao Zhensheng enter the house, Ling Chen stood up by himself and walked to the two empty wine jars, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

The next morning.

Ling Chen got up from the bed, looking at the bright sunlight projected outside the window, he walked out of the room, only to see that Yao Zhensheng had already gotten up and was chopping wood there with an axe. Ling Chen stepped forward to say hello, only to see Yao Zhensheng pointing to the table outside the house, and said, "Breakfast is on there, hurry up and eat it while it's hot." ”

Breakfast was simple, two steamed buns plus a bowl of millet porridge. Ling Chen is not picky, he has been hungry for a few days, and he eats everything now.

After breakfast, Yao Zhensheng walked to Ling Chen's side, pointed to the big mountain in the north, and said, "Do you remember the road I took you up the mountain yesterday? You go up along that road, and when you reach the top of the mountain, you will see a cave, where there will be people waiting for you." ”

"You mean...... The one who saved me?"

Yao Zhensheng nodded and said, "Not bad." Don't you have a lot of questions? He'll answer them for you. ”

"Uncle Yao, aren't you going with me?"

"I'm not going, maybe we won't see each other again. After speaking, Yao Zhensheng turned around and continued to pick up the axe to chop wood.

Looking at the busy Yao Zhensheng, Ling Chen didn't say anything more, and walked straight towards the big mountain. Along the winding mountain road, it took Ling Chen about an hour to finally climb to the top of the mountain. When he reached the top of the mountain, Ling Chen immediately discovered the cave that Yao Zhensheng had said.

When he arrived outside the cave, Ling Chen did not rush in, but checked the surrounding environment. At this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from inside the cave: "Why don't you come in when you are here, don't you dare to come in?"

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Ling Chen hesitated for a moment, and then walked in. The light inside the cave was very dark, and the further inside it went, the darker it became.

After moving forward for more than ten meters, Ling Chen stopped and did not continue to move forward. The front is pitch black, and you can't see your fingers, who knows if there will be danger, or be careful. He is in a better position now, even if there is danger, he can escape at the first time.

"Who are you, why did you save me?" Ling Chen asked.

"I'm sure you should have guessed who I am. The unfamiliar voice replied: "Maybe you don't know yet, I have been following you all these days, secretly observing you. ”

Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn't help but be taken aback. This man had been spying on him, but he didn't even notice it. It can be seen that this person's strength is very extraordinary. Thinking of this, Ling Chen asked, "Why are you spying on me?"

"Because you know people like me, I'm interested in you. ”

The same people...... In an instant, Ling Chen's heart moved, and he immediately guessed the identity of the person in front of him, "You...... You are...... Ho Zhishen?"

"Looks like you're not too stupid. ”

Sure enough, it was him! Ling Chen was secretly frightened, when he was in that ancient tomb, the person in the sarcophagus disappeared without a trace, but he didn't expect that he had been secretly following him, no wonder he knew where he was being locked up. Thinking that the person in front of him was another monster who had lived for hundreds of years, Ling Chen's heart suddenly had an indescribable feeling.

"So, you want to know who the man like you is?"

"Almost. He Zhishen replied: "You should know that there are not many people like me in this world, so it is not easy to find someone like me." I've tried before, but it's all been empty. Hundreds of years of loneliness are not something you can imagine, so I choose to bury myself. If you hadn't opened the tomb, maybe I would have fallen asleep forever. ”

"Ling Chen, how about arranging for that person to meet with me as a way to repay me for saving you?"

Hearing the other party's request, Ling Chen couldn't help but hesitate. "What, don't you want to?" Seeing that Ling Chen didn't reply for a long time, He Zhishen asked.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just ...... That person's situation is more complicated. He's different from you, your body is complete, but now he only has a head left, and he can't speak. So, even if you meet, you can't communicate. After a pause, Ling Chen changed his words and said, "May I ask, if you meet, what are you going to talk about?"

"Of course, it's a question that has plagued us for hundreds of years. If this is the case for me alone in this world, it means that I am special, but since there are other people like me, there must be a reason for this. I was searching for an answer to this question for hundreds of years. But now, the world has changed a lot and improved a lot, and maybe it can help me find out. ”

Ling Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Have you practiced any kung fu?"

"Yes, I practiced martial arts at the age of five, and it took me thirty years to break through the realm of the Heavenly Rank, and then it took me another fifty years to reach the realm of martial arts. From that moment on, my life changed dramatically. ”

"Looks like my guess was correct. ”

He Zhishen asked, "What do you mean?"

"Everyone who has an immortal body is a martial artist who has reached the realm of great perfection. To put it simply, your martial arts realm has broken through the Heavenly Rank and reached another unknown level. As people who practice martial arts, we all understand a truth, in addition to strengthening the body, practicing martial arts can also tap one's own potential and break through the limits of the body. Perhaps, the unknown level you have reached has broken through the limits of human life. I think this should be the most plausible explanation. ”

"Life limit......" He Zhishen said: "Your guess is very reasonable. ”

"Ho...... He Lao ......" Ling Chen opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to call He Zhishen, and in the end he could only call the other party 'He Lao'. After all, with the other party's age, he definitely deserves this title.

"Everyone is looking for longevity, and many people are doing anything to prolong their life by a few years. There are hundreds of millions of people in this world, and you are the only ones who have such a long lifespan, isn't it good?"

"You may think it's good, but in my opinion, it's a painful beginning. Because my appearance will not change, and I will not grow old. So, we can't stay in one place for too long, ten years or so, and if anyone notices that I'm not getting old, then I'm going to have to leave. Otherwise, I will become a monster in people's mouths, and I will become the object of everyone's shouting. So, I had to keep changing my residence and making contact with strangers. Do you know how uncomfortable it feels to watch strangers come to an end when they become your friends or family members, and you can't do anything about it?"
