After the meal, someone from the valley brought tea made from bamboo leaves. Murong Fu took a sip first, and only after finding no problem did he let Li Qinglu and the others drink it.
"Fulang, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there is such a magical thing as immortality in this world!"
Li Qinglu had just been holding it in for a while, and now she was like a curious baby, holding Murong Fu's arm and asking all the questions in her heart.
Murong Fu answered her questions one by one, saying that although the Immortal Changchun was good, there was no guarantee that it would not have any side effects, so it was better not to expect too much.
He remembered a passage in the original book, which seemed to describe that if people in the valley left the valley and stayed for too long, their black hair would turn white, their backs would be hunched, their faces would be full of wrinkles, and they would appear to be old within a few days. One hundred years old, he will die in a few days!
This made Murong Fu wonder whether there was dependence on this fountain of youth, and he needed to drink it every once in a while to stay young forever.
If this is the case, he will naturally not try it easily. There are still many things waiting for him to do outside. Let alone not being able to live forever, even if he can really live forever, he does not want to be trapped in this valley.
Later, under the leadership of the people in the valley, Murong Fu and the others visited various places. Even when he mentioned visiting the Fountain of Ages, the two women did not refuse and took them to Kongling very generously. In the quiet deep forest.
Not far away, there was a protruding rock the size of a millstone. There was a spring in the rock, filled with clear green water.
The moment Li Qinglu saw the Fountain of Youth, her clear eyes suddenly became dark. She couldn't help but take a few steps forward, wanting to touch the spring water with her hands.
Murong Fu's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly grabbed her.
"Qing'er, what are you doing?"
"Fulang, I...I..."
The moment Li Qinglu was pulled by Murong Fu, her eyes returned to their original state again.
She knew exactly what she was doing, but at that moment, she seemed to have lost control of her body and walked towards the spring involuntarily.
Not only that, she would occasionally feel this way every time she was having a good time with Murong Fu, but everything she saw and felt in her body and in front of her eyes could be reflected back to her, which made her not know how to distinguish it. , always thought it was because of his poor mental state and hallucinations.
But the feeling just now suddenly became very clear, as if there was someone controlling him, as if he was eager to drink from the fountain of youth.
Murong Fu didn't notice anything unusual about Li Qinglu, but thought her behavior was a bit weird, so he quickly protected her behind him and apologized to the two women who were leading the way.
The two daughters, one named Lin Qiao and the other named Lin Zhen, are sisters.
As for how old he was, Murong Fu did not take the liberty to ask. He was afraid that if the other party told him, he would be frightened to death.
Lin Qiao is the older sister, with a gentler personality, while Lin Zhen is the younger sister, with a more lively temperament.
Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Young master Murong, don't worry. Unless you drink the fountain of youth, the effect of the spring water cannot penetrate into the human body and affect the human body."
"Thank you for clarifying my doubts! But Miss Lin, will there be any side effects from drinking this Fountain of Youth?"
After Murong Fu thanked her, he couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
But Lin Qiao smiled and did not answer.
When Murong Fu wanted to ask again, Lin Qiao said: "Mr. Murong, you two girls, if you want to drink from this spring, I will not stop you, but as for the reason for the Fountain of Youth, you should ask the owner of the valley! "
It seems that there is indeed something wrong with the Fountain of Youth!
Seeing that she refused to say anything, Murong Fu did not press any further, but pointed to a mountain peak not far away and asked: "Miss Lin, I wonder what the name of that mountain is? It looks so tall into the clouds, with thousands of walls standing on it, it's majestic Very good!"
Lin Qiao said with a smile: "This mountain is called Tongtian Mountain. There is a cave entrance at the bottom of the mountain that leads to nowhere. Whenever there is an old man in the valley who is approaching his end, he will enter the cave by himself without setting up a monument or burying the body!"
"Human grave?"
Murong Fu's heart trembled, and he felt strange for no reason.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked the two women to take the three of him to the foot of Tongtian Mountain to see what was going on.
The two girls were sometimes honest and sometimes clever, but Murong Fu made requests, and they all agreed. Except for the secret about the Fountain of Youth, they were taken directly to the foot of Tongtian Mountain.
I saw a deep and long cave entrance facing me. The cave was pitch black. The endless darkness seemed like staring into the abyss. Xiaolei on the side suddenly moved towards the entrance of the cave as if possessed. After Murong Fu noticed it, he hurriedly grabbed her. .
Li Qinglu also couldn't help but want to enter the cave, but the glint in her eyes flashed, and she froze in place again, and did not rush into the cave.
Murong Fu looked at the two sisters Lin Qiao and Lin Zhen, but saw that their eyes were only looking at the ground, but they did not dare to look directly at the entrance of the cave.
"You three, it's better not to stare at the entrance of the cave. This entrance leads to the land of the afterlife. Whether it is a dying person or a newborn calf, they will be pulled by the mysterious power and step into it uncontrollably."
At this time, Lord Dongyang suddenly appeared behind several people and spoke.
Murong Fu stretched out his hand and gently pressed the Yangbai point above the corner of Xiaolei's eyebrows, and the latter gradually regained consciousness, wondering what had just happened.
"Valley Master, I heard that the old people in the valley would enter this cave entrance before they died. The Valley Master just said that this is the place of death. How do you explain this? Is it possible that someone else has come out of this cave entrance?"
Murong Fu said in confusion.
"No one who enters this cave has ever come out, but the reason why the end of the cave is called the place of death is because our ancestors have left behind messages, and the method of immortality is in this cave!"
"However, thousands of years have passed, and no one who has entered this cave has ever come out. Therefore, no one among us knows whether this cave leads to hell or a wider fairyland."
"But once people live for a long time, they will be afraid of death. When it comes to the moment of death, no matter what is there, even if they know it is a dead end, they will not look back!"
What Dongyang Jun said was mysterious. Murong Fu didn't know whether his words were true or false for a while, but he always had an intuition in his heart. What did the other party seem to be deliberately guiding him?
What exactly is in this cave?
Is it a paradise like the secret realm of Kunlun Mountain, or a dead place where bones accumulate?
Murong Fu suddenly had the urge to go in and find out the truth, but when he was about to lift his feet, the figures of Wang Yuyan and the others suddenly flashed in his mind, which made his steps immediately freeze in place, as if they had taken root.
"What does life or death here have to do with me? Murong Fu, Murong Fu, you haven't even finished your own business, so you want to meddle in other people's business?"
Murong Fu looked at the cave again, his eyes clear. The black hole that was originally full of temptation for him and made him want to explore now seemed too ordinary.
