Chapter 115
You can never go out, you can't enjoy the life of glory and wealth, you can only live in this valley like livestock in captivity, and they all look like young men and women, but even their desires have been wiped out. This is not a human life!
The Mongols don't want to believe that this kind of thing will happen to them. After all, once all the hard work has disappeared without a trace, no one can accept it.
Someone roared and swung decisively out of the gap in the valley. The rope was hanging on the towering ancient tree. He looked like a bear or an ape.
In the blink of an eye, his originally black hair was dyed with a few strands of silver, and then fine lines climbed up his tight skin, and his appearance suddenly changed from a young man to a middle-aged man.
He knelt on the ground for a long while before getting up, far from being as vigorous as before.
The Mongols wanted to check the authenticity of the words of the villagers, but the villagers did not stop them. Instead, they followed behind the Mongols as if they were watching a good show, and even climbed a tree to find an excellent observation spot.
Seeing the man's instantly aged face, the villagers laughed and laughed at the joke.
"Look at how ugly he is."
"If you don't want to die, come back quickly!"
"Don't let the old man lose the strength to come in, then he can only wait there to die."
The Mongols don’t believe in evil, but if they swing out several times in a row, all of them will grow old in a very short period of time. Judging by the speed, they will definitely die in a few days!
The little prince's eyes were so angry that he was about to eat people.
He glared at the village chief and said.
"Where is the antidote, hand over the antidote! Let us go!"
"An antidote?"
The female village chief looked at him like a fool.
"Eternal Spring Spring is not a poison, so how can there be an antidote?"
The girl with big braids mocked at the side.
"That's right, weren't you very happy when you drank the spring water before?
It took a lot of effort to find this place, right?
You were so anxious when you kicked my door, do you regret it now? "
The little prince raised his hand, and the group of them immediately showed their weapons.
Although several of their people were lost on the road, there are still dozens of them. Except for a few Jianghu people, the rest are veterans in the army, veterans who kill decisively, and almost half of the number of people in the village. The strength of the spring water is the same, but to be honest, the advantage is still on their side.
The little prince was flustered before, but now he quickly calculated the combat effectiveness of the enemy and us, and he was not afraid anymore. He stared at the female village chief coldly and repeated.
"Hand over the antidote, otherwise I don't mind throwing you all out, you probably don't want to die yet."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the people in the village laughed like they heard some joke.
"I'm so scared, they're going to throw us out!"
"I don't want to die, we don't want to die yet!"
"Hee hee, what should we do then, should we beg for mercy from them?"
"But we really don't have an antidote, why are they so unreasonable, haha."
Willow and the others are hiding behind the protruding part of the valley's rock wall at this moment. The rock wall is big enough to cover them all tightly.
But now when everyone heard this, they couldn't help frowning slightly.
These people said they were afraid, but their faces were full of excitement and joy, as if the little prince was not threatening to send them to death, but to send them to some good place. honest.
Wang Lianhua said lightly.
"It seems that they have been here for a long time, and I am afraid that they are no longer normal people."
Zhu Qingshi nodded.
"It should be something wrong."
"They themselves call themselves monsters, lunatics, and perverts."
The little prince also found that the brains of these people were different from normal people.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Scared, of course we are afraid of death, and we are especially afraid of dying of old age. We are most afraid of the feeling of being so old that we can't even walk, and we can only lie down and wait for death!"
"If we hadn't been afraid, we wouldn't have been able to drink the Everlasting Spring!"
The little prince felt confused, and felt that these people were playing tricks on him, which made him look a little annoyed.
"Then I'm going to throw you out and let you die outside, why are you still laughing?"
The female village head stopped smiling, and so did the rest of the villagers. They seemed to be asked the most annoying thing, and their faces were indifferent like stone sculptures.
Back then, the first girl with big braids and non-stop weaving that the little prince and others met had such an expression.
When a group of people were so expressionless, they looked like a group of walking dead, but it made the little prince and the others clenched their weapons.Some even drew long knives.
The female village head was not afraid at all, her tone was very cold.There was a strong disgust on his indifferent face.
"Because we are also afraid of living in this Eternal Spring Valley.
I came here more than 100 years ago. According to a rough calculation, I lived here for more than 5 days and more than 60 hours.
I came here when I was fleeing. It was a time of war, and my family and I fled into the mountains, but only my sister and I escaped the wild beasts and fled here. "
When the female village head said these things, it seemed like she was telling other people's stories, but it was understandable. Counting the time, the stories she told were more than 100 years ago, and the time was enough to erase her despair and sadness at that time.
She said that at the beginning, she and her sister were as surprised as the little prince and the others. After all, who doesn't like eternal youth and eternal youth?
Later, she found that it didn’t matter if she couldn’t go out of the valley. She thought, this place is so good, the four seasons are Changchun, you don’t need to work hard, you can eat enough, and you can wear warm clothes. Who wants to go out?
It doesn't matter if people who drink the spring water have no lust. She and her sister have seen a lot of men's evil towards women in the troubled times. Anyway, they have enough food and clothing, so they need to cling to men.Anyway, they are immortal, so why extend their blood?
The most wonderful thing is that the speed of human strength here is not divided into strong and weak, and there is no difference between men and women here.She and her younger sister are of the same heart. If anyone dares to bully them, they will fight one by two. Here, no tall and powerful man can beat the two of them together.
At first they were timid and cowardly, but when they realized this, they laughed happily, and then they found out that no matter how hard they beat people, they would not die, and after drinking a glass of spring water they could recover, they became even crazier.
They feel that this kind of life is really wonderful. There are so many houses here, they can live in whatever they want, and they can have a good harvest without worrying about it. They can eat and sleep.Sleep and eat, and wake up to catch a butterfly here and a fish there.
After that, they didn't even bother to eat. Anyway, a glass of spring water in the morning can keep them from being hungry all day, and although there is plenty of food in the valley, there are not many kinds of food, so they are tired of eating.
They started to have fun by themselves, caught fish for a year, caught almost all the fish in the pond, raised silkworms and weaved cloth randomly, and spent most of the year weaving, with various patterns and colors Weave a pattern.
A room filled with woven cloth was set on fire by the village chief.For no reason, she just wanted to burn suddenly.
Then there are flowers, all kinds of flowers are planted in the valley. At that time, they also like to pick those flowers to make flower cakes, flower soup and so on.
There are some poisonous flowers among them, but it doesn't matter, anyway, the poison will not kill them, this valley is like a real world of bliss, they can live willfully by relying on the eternal spring spring.
But as time passed, the village chief and her sister felt that this was a terrible curse.
For hundreds of years, countless days can only be spent in this small valley, and the entire valley can be visited in half a day.They even know almost every trace on the rock wall of this valley.
There are fewer and fewer things that can make them happy, and finally they seem to lose the ability to be happy.
The people here look young, but everyone is depressed. There will never be a new life here, and there will be no vitality.The valley was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
"It wasn't until 20 years later, oh, now 90 years ago, that people from outside came in, and my sister and I didn't understand why when we entered this valley, those people would laugh wildly and be overjoyed with joy .”
The female village chief laughed again when she said this.
"It was a man and a woman, who seemed to be lovers. They heard about the Immortal Spring Spring somewhere, and eloped to find us. We had a carnival for three days and three nights, and even held a wedding for them!"
I watched them drink the Eternal Spring Spring in gratitude and surprise, and I couldn't stop laughing. It was the second time I was so happy in more than 20 years! "
And the first time was when she and her younger sister drank the Eternal Spring Spring.
The crowd behind her smiled again.
"Haha, you don't know the expressions on their faces after they entered the bridal chamber and realized they were dying."
"Then within a year, they both went out of the valley and died in love. It was really tragic."
The female village chief looked at the livid little prince and said with a smile.
"There are not always outsiders. For the next ten years, we fell into the previous days. Finally, one day, my sister and I left the valley."
The little prince understood something.
"You were scared, so you came back."
"Yes, my sister is dead, I dare not, come back, in fact, everyone here is a coward who went out and came back."
The Mongols understood, and so did Willow and the others. The remaining people in the village who were still alive were all people who were afraid of death and longed for liberation, so they were not afraid of the threat of the little prince at all, because it helped them instead.
The Mongols do not believe in evil, and went to find a way to get out of the valley by themselves, while the villagers had had enough of watching, and walked towards their houses. They liked to sleep very much, after all, it was a good way to kill time.
However, as soon as the female village chief entered her house, she found that there were a few more uninvited guests in her house.Even the lamps were lit.
The female village chief's eyes turned on Duan Xiao, showing a surprised look.
"I didn't know there were even a few of you outsiders."
She is smart and guesses quickly.
"Did you hear what we said before?"
"I heard it all."
"Then why are you still here? Could it be that you still want to drink the Immortal Spring Spring?"
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of the female village head's mouth, thinking that Willow and the others didn't believe what they said before.Don't hit the south wall and don't look back.
But Duan Xiao shook his head and said.
"No, we never came here for the purpose of immortality. I came here to ask you something."
"There is no antidote for the Spring of Immortality."
"We didn't ask that either."
Duan Xiao shook his head again.He looked at the female village head hesitantly and said.
"I want to ask, where did those people who came to you decades ago... go?"
These words were beyond the expectation of the female village head, she suddenly picked up the oil lamp on the table and approached Duan Xiao.
The four retainers immediately stood in front of Duan Xiao nervously. After all, every good person in this village had to be guarded!
Fortunately, the female village chief seemed to be just looking at Duan Xiao's face clearly, so she took a closer look at Duan Xiao's fair and handsome face.
"What's your relationship with that dude named Duan?"
Duan Xiao answered honestly.
"You should be talking about my grandfather."
The female village chief snorted coldly.
"It turned out to be his blood, no wonder it's annoying to look at."
The four big ministers were immediately unhappy.
"How did you talk!"
"Don't be disrespectful!"
Duan Xiao didn't mind, he wanted to know more about his grandfather and grandmother.
But the female village head said indifferently.
"Why should I tell you?"
Zhu Qingshi's iron fan couldn't help but swish open, the edge of the iron fan gleamed coldly, very sharp.But the female village head was very disdainful.
"Since you have heard my words, do you still think that you can threaten me like this?"
As soon as these words came out, hesitation flashed across the faces of Zhu Qingshi and others.
At this time, Willow sneered.
"Why not?"
She walked to the side of the female village head, and her cold hands brushed the female village head's neck.
"You did say a lot to those Mongolians before, but you seem to have forgotten to say one thing, that is, if the person who drank the fountain of youth was beheaded, what would happen if his heart was dug out?
No matter how miraculous the Fountain of Youth is, can it grow another head and regenerate a heart?
If you are really so afraid of old age and death, it is impossible that no one has tried this method of death, but according to your words, it seems that those who wanted to die finally chose to go out of the valley. There must be some reason for this, right? "
The female village chief's body froze for a moment, and she looked at Willow with dark eyes.
Someone did try this method, and he did close his eyes forever, but he survived in the valley for three full days with his body separated before he died.The body does not rot after death. If someone hadn't thrown the body out, then even if he died, he would be trapped here forever.
After that, they found a book recorded in the valley from hundreds of years ago. It wrote countless methods that people tried to break the restrictions in the valley, but there was no result. in conclusion.
Those who try to use this method to get rid of it quickly, the more they drink from the spring and the longer they live in the valley, the longer it will take them to die.
This is a kind of hellish torture, just thinking about it, the female village head can't help but tremble.
She looked at the woman beside her and said unwillingly.
"You are very smart."
Then she looked at Duan Xiao again.
"A group of people did come here a few decades ago. You and the man in charge look like six images. His woman called him Duan Lang, and when he introduced himself, he said that he was called Duan Yu. It seems that he was once the emperor. ?”
Duan Xiao said seriously that his grandfather was indeed the emperor, and the current emperor is his father.
The female village chief sneered.
"Then he is really used to living a happy life, and he wants to come to our place to live in seclusion. He brought a group of women who look like celestial beings, but he only brought three servants with him. Isn't this just looking for sins for himself?"
Seeing that she couldn't get to the point, Hu Tiehua became impatient.
"Just tell me where they are now."
The female village head didn't like Hu Tiehua's tone, but she glanced at Willow.Still say.
"died."
died? !
They didn't see Duan Yu and others in Gu Zhong, so everyone did have such a guess, but they were still surprised when they heard it.
And Duan Xiao couldn't accept it.
"Grandfather is dead?
I have always heard that he is an optimistic and open-minded person. Before coming here, I also knew that drinking the Everlasting Spring Spring would not allow you to leave the valley. How could he choose to leave the valley in just a few decades?And the imperial grandmother and the others have already..."
"No, they didn't drink the Eternal Spring Spring. They didn't live in our valley either."
Disgust appeared on the female village head's expression again, but in addition to disgust, there was also jealousy that couldn't be concealed.She gritted her teeth.
"They came and regretted it, and finally they lived behind the valley until they died of old age more than ten years ago!"
She said that Duan Yu and the others repented as if they had been betrayed.
But when Wei Luo and the others heard her words, they understood why she didn't want to see Duan Yu and the others. After all, no one would feel good if there was a control group around them.
Duan Xiao murmured.
"I didn't expect it to be like this."
He politely thanked the village chief, but the village chief just wanted them to leave quickly.
"It's getting late, so many of you are at my girl's house, isn't it good?"
Hu Tiehua blurted out: "A girl who is almost two hundred years old?"
Female village head: ...
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Willow seemed to see the female village chief's anger soaring all the way until it exploded.
Everyone didn't hesitate anymore, they left quickly and quickly disappeared into the thick night.
The female village chief was the only one left in the room, her liver hurting from anger.
This group of outsiders is just as annoying as the one from decades ago!
Willow and the others sneaked into an unoccupied room and slept all night. Even if there were more Mongolians, there were still a lot of empty houses here, enough for them to live in.
Early the next morning, everyone got up, quietly left the valley, and headed towards the location that the village head said.
On the way, they found a small stream, and then they simply washed up, drank some water, and found something to eat by the way.
You must know that they dare not touch anything in the valley.
Another half an hour later, they arrived at a mountain peak with a cave with a large entrance. There were several houses not far away. Chickens and ducks, and a few wolves lying on the ground.
And there are two old men bending over to work in the vegetable field.
The two of them were still muttering something, but everyone didn't notice when they were around them.
"Five, six, seven, ten."
The old man who picked up the worms with chopsticks muttered while picking up the caterpillars on the vegetables.
Willow raised an eyebrow on the side: When did seven become ten?
So did the other old man.
"Nine...nine..."
Huamanlou kindly reminds me. "Old man, it should be ten."
"forty?"
The old man's cloudy eyes flashed brightly, but he still didn't notice the people next to him. Instead, he was happy to show off to the old man opposite.
"Brother Yuan, I've caught forty worms now!"
"what?"
Old man Yuan didn't hear clearly.
"How many?"
Hua Manlou was stunned for a moment, and quickly couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry.
"Old man, it's not forty, it's ten."
He realized that he might misunderstand the old man again when he said this, so he hurriedly said again.
"I mean, eight, nine, ten, nine after ten. You caught ten worms."
But this time the old man once again missed the point.He danced happily.
"Haha, old man Yuan, I made a mistake just now, I caught ninety worms! This time you will definitely..."
Wait, what's their bet?
The old man didn't move, frowning seriously.
Old man Yuan heard clearly this time.
"Ninety? How could there be only ninety worms!"
Everyone thought that this old man Yuan could not have more than 90 caterpillars in this vegetable field, but he jumped and said.
"I obviously only caught 38 caterpillars and put them in the vegetable field, and said, you are very treacherous, Zhao, are you cheating again!"
Everyone thought they heard it wrong, what does it mean to catch caterpillars and put them in the vegetable field?
Who deliberately put caterpillars in the vegetable field?
What's the matter with you two old men?
Duan Xiao still wanted to go up to ask, but old man Yuan directly flew to the front of old man Zhao, looked at the bamboo tube on his waist, and counted carefully.
"One-two...six, seven, ten, eleven, twelve, there are clearly only twelve, don't you know how to count or do you think I'm a fool to fool me?!"
Old man Zhao is not happy anymore.
"Who said I can't count anymore, I count much better than you!"
"Then you cheated on purpose!"
"I do not have!"
"You have it. You peed farther than anyone else before, but you actually cheated with your six-meridian sword!"
Old man Zhao stiffened his neck.
"I didn't! You've been arguing with me for half a year about this matter, and you don't have any evidence, so why should you accuse me?"
The two old men were deaf, and their voices were subconsciously loud, as if they were shouting at each other in a competition.
Old man Yuan immediately dragged old man Zhao to the rock wall.
"This is the proof, who can pierce a hole in a stone wall with piss! It is clear that you used the Six Meridian Excalibur to confiscate it for a while, and then pierced a hole!"
With a pop, everyone couldn't help laughing.
They didn't do it on purpose, but what the two old people said was too funny.
As a result, they finally attracted the attention of the two old men.It was only now that the two old men noticed that someone had come.
Old Man Yuan was puzzled.
"Who are you?"
Duan Xiao hurried forward.Explain your purpose.However, the two old men did not hear clearly.
"what?"
"Old man, I am a descendant of the Duan family in Dali. I heard that my grandfather was buried here, so I came here to pay homage."
"what?"
Duan Xiao increased the volume again and repeated it.
"Bones? We don't sell bones here, we don't sell bones."
Old man Yuan waved vigorously.
Duan Xiao: ...
He took a deep breath and roared out.
"Old man, I'm Duan Xiao, I'm here to find my grandfather Duan Yu's grave! Please do me a favor."
"Oh!"
Old man Yuan suddenly realized, and looked at a certain part of Duan Xiao with pity.
"It's okay to be short, as long as you can use it, come, come, come, the hut is there, you can do whatever you want."
