Chapter 2828: Can one obtain longevity?

Ye Chen knew very well that what he was looking for this time was not Wu Feiyan, but the place Wu Feiyan was going to.

He released Meng Changsheng's portrait, and Wu Feiyan immediately let the Poqing Society enter silence. This point proves that she is indeed very terrified.

But the more terrified she is, the more she quietly came to China alone, and went to the Ten Thousand Mountains, which proves that she must be very urgent at the moment.

Ye Chen speculated that she was likely looking for the secret left by Meng Changsheng back then, perhaps the secret of longevity mentioned by the Earl of Changsheng before.

Therefore, after Wu Feiyan leaves the Ten Thousand Mountains, he will go in to search. Regardless of whether there will be any gains, at least it will not increase danger in vain.

And at the same time.

In the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Wu Feiyan, like a female knight hanging on a wire in a martial arts movie, shuttled rapidly between the dense forests in the deep mountains. The towering mountains and deep forests in the eyes of ordinary people were as flat as walking on flat ground in front of her.

Although she walked deeper and deeper in the mountains, her state was smoother and smoother.

When she moved away from the highway and entered the deep mountains, she found that the Ten Thousand Mountains here had not changed compared to three hundred years ago.

The green mountains here are still the same, and they are still uninhabited.

Wu Feiyan relied on her memory from back then and walked from dawn to dark in the deep mountains.

In the mountain forest at night, you couldn't see your fingers, and the moonlight and starlight were almost blocked by dense trees. Moreover, because the air humidity became greater and greater after nightfall, the mountain forest was already shrouded in fog. Ordinary people couldn't move an inch here, but Wu Feiyan seemed to be able to see through the darkness and fog, moving forward with big strides without reducing her speed.

At this time, she was surrounded by insects, snakes, rats, and ants, as well as various animals and beasts, but wherever Wu Feiyan went, all animals scattered, wishing to stay as far away from her as possible.

After Wu Feiyan traveled through the fog for nearly half an hour, she arrived at the bottom of a mountain valley with extremely low terrain. The fog here was already thick and amazing, and the humidity in the air was even exaggerated enough to squeeze out water.

And because the terrain of the valley was too low, a large amount of moisture and carbon dioxide accumulated here, so that the oxygen content at the bottom of the valley was very low, and ordinary people could not survive here for too long.

What's more terrible is that the air here is not just moisture and carbon dioxide, but also a large amount of miasma similar to swamp gas emitted from rotten trees and mud. After unknown years of fermentation and various natural chemical reactions, it formed miasma that is very toxic to mammals.

Moreover, although there is no human smoke here, wild animals looking for food often stumble here. After the animals come in, they soon fall into a coma until death due to hypoxia and toxic components in the air. After death, the corpses rot in it, and the decomposed corpses decomposed by microorganisms make the air here more dangerous.

If someone really had blind eyes and crossed countless mountains to come here, it would basically be a one-way trip.

However, when Wu Feiyan came here, her expression was not nervous at all, but more and more excited.

She walked into this fog without hesitation. Although the filthy and toxic fog would not cause substantial harm to her, it made her a little nauseous, so she held her breath and walked all the way to the lowest and deepest place.

At this time, there was no light at the bottom of the valley. Wu Feiyan released her divine sense to fill the surroundings, and everything around her was clear to her.

When she reached the deepest place, many thick stone pillars five or six meters high and two or three meters wide appeared in front of Wu Feiyan.

Although these stone pillars looked like they were naturally formed without any traces of human processing, they seemed not to appear here in large quantities. It seemed that someone had deliberately collected these stone pillars and placed them here.

Moreover, there were many such stone pillars, and they were placed in a chaotic manner like a stone forest.

Seeing these stone pillars placed without any rules, Wu Feiyan was not surprised at all, but touched these stone pillars with some emotion, muttering to herself, "Master, Senior Brother, Feiyan is back to see you."

After speaking, she walked into the stone forest and kept walking left and right in the stone forest according to a specific rule.

This stone forest is the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation laid down by her Master Meng Changsheng before he died.

The mystery of this formation lies in the fact that if you don't know the way to crack the formation, no matter which position you walk into this stone forest formation, it is impossible to find the exit in the true sense.

The only way for outsiders to crack this formation is to destroy all the stone pillars, leaving none behind.

However, this formation was originally used by Meng Changsheng to guard the cave mansion. According to his plan, once someone broke in, before the other party destroyed all the stone pillars, he would know it in the first time;

If the other party's strength was not as good as his, then he could take action in the dark to kill the other party;

If he encountered someone stronger than him, Meng Changsheng was not afraid, because these stone pillars formed a stone forest, large in scale, numerous in number, and each stone pillar was extremely thick and heavy. It would take a lot of time and energy for the other party to destroy them all, so he would have enough time to escape. In this way, by the time the other party destroyed the stone forest, he would have already fled.

Back then, Meng Changsheng relied on this formation to hide the cave mansion where he practiced. For hundreds of years, no one had been able to break in.

The only two people who had entered were Wu Feiyan and her Senior Brother Lin Zhulu.

Wu Feiyan, who returned here again, chose a route she was familiar with, and then walked rapidly left and right in the stone forest.

After walking many times, Wu Feiyan suddenly flashed, and the exit of the Eight Trigrams Formation appeared in front of her, an arched stone gate carved by man.

On both sides of the stone gate, a couplet was carved in cursive calligraphy. The upper couplet was "Retreat and practice for eight hundred years", and the lower couplet was "Wearing stars and wearing the moon for nearly a thousand years".

The upper and lower couplets were ordinary, but the horizontal batch was very different. Other people's couplets mostly had four characters, but the horizontal batch of this couplet had five characters: Can one obtain longevity?

Wu Feiyan was very familiar with this couplet. She looked up at the five characters in the middle, muttering to herself, "Master, what exactly is longevity? Five hundred years or a thousand years? You lived for a thousand years and changed your name to Changsheng to practice here for five hundred years, but in the end, you still couldn't escape death? Is there any way in this world that can make people live as long as heaven and earth?"

Speaking of this, Wu Feiyan laughed mockingly, shook her head and said, "Feiyan thought too much, how would you know the answer? If you knew, then you wouldn't have died three hundred years ago."

Immediately, she didn't look at the couplet again and pushed open the arched stone gate.

The gate opened, and inside was a stone room of about forty square meters. Wu Feiyan was very familiar with this place. Back then, she and Senior Brother Lin Zhulu practiced here all day long.

At this time, there were still the meditation cushions that the two used back then in the stone room, and there were even black dried blood stains on the ground. This was left when she stabbed Lin Zhulu in the heart with a sword back then.

Lin Feiyan was a little trance-like and a little stunned. She reached out and touched the blood that had been dried for more than three hundred years, muttering, "Senior Brother, the sword I stabbed in your heart back then still makes my heart ache. If you had agreed to me back then, how could you and I have been separated by yin and yang for three hundred years? If you and I had joined forces back then, maybe we would have driven the Qing dogs out of the customs long ago, and the world would have been yours and mine? It's just that you don't know the current affairs and have no blessing to enjoy it."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "Everything in front of me, compared to three hundred years ago, except for the Senior Brother's blood drying up, it seems that there has been no change. In other words, in the past three hundred years, no one has returned here again..."

So, she paused slightly, frowned, "In this way, the person who took out the Master's portrait has never been here, and the Ye Changying couple has never been here. Who exactly is that person? And where did the Ye Changying couple find the secret of longevity?"
