Three days later.

A quiet valley, a remote town, a dense forest wine shop hidden among the mountains and ridges, where three or five wine lovers chat.

Jingwei, who had been walking with his bags for several days, was exhausted and panting at the moment, and was sitting on the bluestone bridge in front of the inn to rest. He just rolled down from a slippery rock, making him covered in mud. He was very embarrassed, but he happened to find a path that had been lost for a long time and found a rare restaurant in this dark and secluded place. This corresponds to the ancient saying:

"There is no way out after the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark willows and flowers."

He was still young and had almost no experience of walking. The first task that Old Man He gave him was to let him go out for several days alone and find this very unknown diner in the winding mountain road.

What was originally difficult was unexpectedly done by him, although he fell a little painful at that time.

The small wine shop was quiet and peaceful, without any noisy sounds, only a few drinkers were discussing what they saw from all over the world.

Jingwei found a table, took out a string of copper coins, picked out three with his hands, and asked the store for a plate of fried peanuts.

Seeing that he was young and covered in dust, the store gave him two servings, added a plate of vinegar, and served a cup of hot tea.

Jingwei thanked him, slowly rolled up his sleeves, picked up a bamboo chopstick and put it in his mouth, and savored it carefully.

Since I ate peanuts on the day of watching the moon, Jingwei has missed the taste of peanuts very much. Now when I am out, I naturally ordered a plate.

It is impossible to calculate the remaining money in your pocket. If you go back, you should be enough to rush back to the fishing village yourself.

Jingwei didn't know what he should do next.

He had no choice but to recite the first paragraph of the "Hao Miscellaneous Heart Sutra" in his heart and feel his mood at this moment.

This is different from his previous state of mind.

In the past, he was a puppet of inner hatred and almost lost his soul freedom. Now he feels that he is more casual. Through many days of walking, he travels through mountains and rivers, looking for people to ask for directions. He has learned tolerate, learn to be humble, and learn to trust in his interactions with others.

But I'm so tired.

He rubbed his shoulders, felt a little sleepy, and yawned, his eyes were covered with water, and a variety of emotions suddenly surged into his heart. He found that he suddenly missed Jiuyuan Fishing Village, miss Old Man He, and miss Meiyu.

There were two people sitting on the table not far away, talking about legends that the world did not know. Jingwei listened carefully with his ears on the side, and even forgot to eat peanuts.

"It is said that the eastern land is vast and boundless, with magnificent rivers and beautiful mountains and rivers. Countless myths and stories are circulated in it. However, when it comes to the mysterious places, few mountains are comparable to the Buzhou Mountains. Throughout history, many legendary stories have been published here, which are the source of many legends. Among the many legends, one strange is the most real, and is still talked about and viewed by people."

"Oh, what's that?" asked another person.

"This wonder originated from the fact that there is a spirit stone in the mountains that is pregnant on the top of the peak of the Wangyue Peak. It is colorful and dazzling. The radiant land of a thousand feet is like daytime at night, with fairy clouds lingering for thousands of years. All those who have passed by are amazing. They think that they are in the fairyland. Wangyue Peak has become the first of the peaks and is the highest among the mountains. The divine stone on the mountain is also called the "Eternal Life Stone" and is yearning for all living beings."

The man was so excited that he immediately attracted several drinkers in the store to come and listen to him.

"However, although this stone stands on the top of the mountain, no one can touch it. The surrounding area is already extinct, and no one dares to approach it."

"Oh..." Everyone nodded.

"Looking at the stone's height and roundness, lightning and lightning all year round, it has its own mighty power and extraordinary weather, and it should be a wonder of the world."

"I dare to ask this brother, what is the beauty of the immortal stone besides shining light?"

Seeing that everyone around him was interested in the immortal stone, the person who was talking about it was also very excited and hurriedly said:

"Since the names are called the Eternal Life Stone, it will naturally have its eternal effect. I heard that someone once touched this stone in the distant East Land Continent."

"Wow..." everyone exclaimed, "What about later?"

"Hehe." The man laughed, "To be honest, I also saw this record from a book. It is said that a total of two people had touched this stone. They all became legendary people, and perhaps they had become immortals."

"And one of them crossed the East China Sea and settled in our Yingzhou."

Everyone looked at each other, obviously disbelief, and asked, "Since you said that the man came to Yingzhou, why don't he see any traces left by him? There are no immortals in the history of Yingzhou."

"Now I'll tell you, cough... cough..." The man deliberately coughed twice.

Someone on the side was quick-witted and immediately said to the store:

"Shopkeeper, come and have a pot of blue and white wine to moisten your voice."

The man thanked him, took the wine and drank it happily, his face relaxed, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "The land of Yingzhou is extremely wide, and no one has reached the end yet. How can you and I make sure there are no immortals?"

Several listeners nodded and agreed.

Indeed, everyone knows that the land under their feet belongs to Yingzhou, but they don’t know how big Yingzhou is.

Their ancestors once came from the distant eastern land. Now, they don’t know how much they have reproduced, but they have not left any clear records. They just have a rough description of Yingzhou.

Ordinary people only know their country, and it is difficult to understand other places. They can only piece together bit by bit, sort out their scattered cognitions, and make their own topic of conversation.

If you have better conditions, you can enter the class and learn more comprehensive knowledge from the book, so as to know more information from Yingzhou. Jingwei is such a child.

Although his memory is somewhat sealed, the knowledge he learned before is still there. Now he has almost understood all the words, so the world he knows is even more vast.

He knew a lot, for example: Yingzhou is located in the east of the world, and coexisting with it is the wider Dongtu Continent, where there are more powerful countries and more powerful humans, which is the real land of human beings. Yingzhou itself is a new land discovered by humans in recent thousands of years, and is also extremely vast. Now all humans in Yingzhou come from the Dongtu Continent and are spread throughout Yingzhou.

It is said that further east of Yingzhou is the place where the sunrise is, and there is also a mainland, but due to many differences in customs and concepts, it has been cut off from it and disappeared into the records of the book.

Jingwei has long been familiar with this knowledge. In the past year, Old Man He has taught him a lot of things, and he has heard more experiences through Old Man He's narration.

But he was only eight years old, and this was barely remembered by knowledge, but he didn't understand it very much. He lived on the sea since he was a child and did not know much about land.

He was less calm when he heard about things at sea.

The drinker started talking about the sea after talking about Yingzhou.

"Everyone, do you know how big the sea is around us?"

Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know.

The man said, "Let me tell you, the vastness of the sea is really boundless, and there is no record that can describe the end of the sea. The land under our feet and even the eastern continent are surrounded by the sea. No one knows what the end of the sea is, and it is said that the immortals do not know."

Jingwei heard Dahai and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists again, calmly restraining his emotions.

"There are endless mysteries and risks in the depths of the sea. Many people intend to cross the sea and come to the other end of the world in order to find immortals and ask for the Tao. However, most people go without returning and disappear on the journey. Only our ancestors came to Yingzhou because of their luck, which made us come."

"So that's how we came from, our ancestors were all such powerful people."

"Yes, everyone, according to historical records, our ancestors are indeed like this. They are a group of masters who have achieved success in practicing Taoism and have truly had earth-shaking skills. They are just gradually forgotten by us because of the long years. This statement will be recorded in most ancient families. You should have heard of it. The ancestors of the early years started from scratch and have reproduced and grown to this day."

"Even reproduces to the sea, there are some islands in the eastern waters of Yingzhou, where some powerful families have been guarding the east of Yingzhou for thousands of years."

Jingwei was finally told about the pain. His family was one of the guardian families. However, he was washed away by the demons on the sea a year ago, and he was the only one left.

The man continued, "I heard that there are many powerful families in the eastern waters, who have always fought with demons in the sea. They are the barriers of Yingzhou. A hundred years ago, a powerful family was washed away by blood. The entire island was covered with blood. Everyone was massacred, which was particularly miserable."

Everyone sighed for a moment, thinking that these families were too tragic and that their efforts were really too great, but they also thought that if they had not guarded the seas, and when the demons came ashore, the first thing they would suffer would be to the coast.

Heroes should be respected.

The winery unanimously raised their wine glasses and sprinkled them on the ground to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives for Yingzhou for the homeland of mankind.

Jingwei finally couldn't help crying. Those who had passed away were his relatives, and they were the most familiar tribe members of his tribe with blood. He could remember the tragic situation of that year at all times. He would suffer whenever he woke up at night. Those lingering nightmares always entangled him, and boundless hatred emerged again.

He turned around and left the restaurant, secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes under the tree.

This revenge must be avenged, not because it is not because it is not because it is not because it is not.

……………………

Jingwei left and climbed up the mountain road in a winding way. He wanted to pick a herb from the mountain to make medicinal use for Old Man He. It is said that this herb is only available on this mountain.

Above him was a towering mountain peak. There were few people coming to the green and quiet mountain. Jingwei is only eight years old now, and his little body is a little overwhelmed. Those damaged mountain roads are particularly dangerous. He consumed a lot of his energy and energy along the way. He gritted his teeth and climbed up, and his legs were so heavy that he couldn't lift them up.

He had to sit in the panasonic for a while, then take out the peanuts from the previous tavern and eat peanuts while watching the scenery.

The distant peaks were hidden in the clouds, and I don’t know how high it was. The green pines and cypresses, the waterfalls and clear springs made him feel as if there was a fairyland ahead.

There will naturally be good things in such a good place. He searched very smoothly and accidentally found a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum plant, which was a great harvest.

He was very happy and hurriedly wrapped it in a sackcloth, put it in his luggage, and continued to move forward.

There was already fog in front of me, and it was already half a day since he calculated the time, but he still couldn't find the herbs he was looking for. He found a few other precious herbs. Should he go further and go to a more remote place?

In this case, it will be much more dangerous.

If he couldn't get into the restaurant before dark, he would have spent the night in the wilderness for the first time at a young age.

Who knows what will happen at night?

Unfortunately, it started to rain at this time, and it was getting heavier and heavier. He wet his clothes in a few beats. He quickly ran up the mountain, trying to walk to the front of the rain.

He heard from Old Man He that he usually runs up the mountain when he encounters heavy rain in the mountains, which will be safer.

He didn't think so much, so he quickly climbed up. In a hurry, he almost slipped on the slippery road several times. Fortunately, he ran to the mountain smoothly and saw that it was raining below, and the rain was under his feet. The feeling was very wonderful.

But it's amazing, and when the heavy rain ends, it's going to get dark.

He had no choice but to spend the night in the mountain.

An eight-year-old child who spent the night in the mountains was incredible, but in the wilderness, this is not surprising. In the wilderness, there are always people who choose to be alone in the places far away from the crowds of the city. There are even humans who grew up with wild beasts in the mountains. Therefore, when the cold water vapor overflowed the mountainside and could never rise again, Jingwei met a wild child.

It was a relatively clever figure, jumping around, Jingwei tried hard to open his eyes in the darkness to confirm that this was not a ghost.

He is a very beautiful girl.
