Same day as this.
In a guest room at a small inn outside Linyang City, Lu Ran bit his fingers and made a decision.
He decided to pursue both the past and the future.
This sentence is a bit strange and a bit contradictory.
But Lu Ran has his own understanding. For him, the past is as full of mysteries and as elusive as the future.
Therefore, while the future is important, the past cannot be ignored.
Therefore, taking Miss Shu as inspiration, Lu Ran compared his life to a tree. At this time, he started to examine the tree from the perspective of a bystander.
The past is like the roots that go deep into the ground, and the future is like the branches and leaves that keep growing.
But this is just the surface.
It is true that the branches and leaves are growing, but the roots and stems are also growing downward.
As long as the rhizome does not die, the tree will not die. Therefore, people invented the word "root". Therefore, the rhizome is actually much more important than the branches and leaves.
Therefore, in order to gain insight into the future, we must first know the past.
In this way, you can get a full view of the tree.
To put it into practice, to put it into action, is to find out the origins of my grandfather and myself, as well as the origins of the immortal with eyes like water under the water prison, while looking for opportunities for revenge in the following practice.
There are so many secrets in the world, so there are immortal gods. This is probably the meaning of the existence of practitioners.
It's just that the meaning is still a little vague in Lu Ran's mind at this stage, but it is still something to be happy about, because after sorting out these thoughts, Lu Ran only feels that the road in front of him is becoming clearer.
He told Miss Shu his thoughts and suggested that the two of them have a drink together. Miss Shu was obviously only interested in wine and did not care about the past or the future. She said that she had not drank wine in three thousand years. In the past, she had been in She lived in a sea of wine for several years and was drunk every day. It was the happiest time in her life...
As she said this, she raised the wine glass that was even bigger than herself, drank it down in one gulp, wiped her mouth, and said, "The water of forgetfulness is the most delicious wine in the world." , he suddenly fell drunk under the oil lamp on the table. After three or five breaths, he started snoring like a drunkard.
Lu Ran shook his head, carefully picked her up and put her on the bed. He found a small square towel and covered her with it. Then he sat by the bed and kept thinking, is this the magic weapon I use to defend myself in the spiritual world?
Thinking of this, Lu Ran stood up again and closed the doors and windows, then found out the important things he was carrying one by one and placed them on the table.
Now that I have sorted my thoughts, I will also sort out my belongings to avoid being robbed like last time without knowing what was robbed.
There are not many items, and they are divided into three categories according to magic weapons, money, and sundries.
Magic weapons: one [Mist Dew Memory Blade], one [Miss Tree], one pair of [Baby Mother Armor], two pairs of [Armor Horse].
Money: The one thousand taels of gold given to Huihuan has not been used, and there is another 388,654 yuan and 96 cents from the bandits. He is still a man who is not short of money. .
Sundries: Apart from the two sets of changes of clothes and some travel essentials given by He Dusu, the only thing worth mentioning is the dozens of iron knots modeled after the little flower on Wuyu Island in my memory. This is also Things that are closely related to the past may be more precious than those magic weapons.
Oh, by the way, there is also a copy of "Introduction to Qi Refining by Jie Jiao" presented by Xu Hui. Since I still haven't understood half of the words, it can only be regarded as miscellaneous items.
For this little thing, less is a little less, but the advantage of less is that at least it is not as ostentatious as Huihuan and Kezhizi. But if it is too ostentatious and has no strength or background, it will attract people to scheme like myself.
Lu Ran sat at the table, stroking the iron flower, thinking about yesterday, thinking about it, thinking about the room of treasures that He Rouyu wanted to give away in the He Lai Inn, and thinking about the black tent in the dense forest of Wanshan Mountain. The treasure [Golden House Treasure] that Chu Yi took out reminded him of the [Futu] awards ceremony and the treasure cave that Bai Yunfei sent him to on the Saintess Peak not long ago...
cried out loudly.
…
After some repairs and then hitting the road, it turned out to be much easier and faster.
Lu Ran took Miss Shu along the trail all the way to the southeast, bypassing three big cities. A month later, they finally arrived at the border of Nanlanhai.
In front of him was a dilapidated fishing village with few people.
"Then what kind of 'murderous fairy' lives in a place like this?"
Miss Shu's head emerged from Lu Ran's front.
"This is even more shabby than our Lujia Village."
Lu Ran looked at the village in front of him and couldn't believe it. He thought he had taken the wrong road.
Lu Ran grabbed an old man passing by and asked him: "Old man, is this the Nanlang Sea?"
The old man hunched over and glanced at Lu Ran reluctantly. Instead of answering the question, he muttered: "Ouch, here comes another person seeking immortality."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Lu Ran quickly chased after him and stuffed five dollars into his hand.
The old man's expression immediately changed, and he knelt down and kowtowed, and said cheerfully: "This is not Nanlang Sea, this is Nanlang Village, the only way to Nanlang Sea."
He pointed in a random direction with his black hands, regardless of whether Lu Ran could really see it or not, and said: "The Nanlang Sea is naturally a sea, just in that direction."
Lu Ran thanked the old man, thinking that I am familiar with this sea, and the direction the old man pointed was correct. There must be a place in that direction where the boat can stop and go out to sea.
Just as he was about to take steps to walk that way, the old man asked again: "Are you going to find immortals?"
Lu Ran nodded, looked around, and then whispered to the old man: "I'm going to find Xu Fang."
"Who is Xu Fang? I don't know you..." The old man frowned when he heard Xu Fang's name, but didn't say anything. He just reminded: "If you are looking for immortals, you can't go there now. Wait until midnight If you go again, the immortals will come in a boat when the time comes, but..."
"Just what?" Lu Ran saw a look of fear on the old man's face.
"It's just that people who seek immortality have never come back." The old man also lowered his voice, "That Xu Fang you are talking about is also someone who has not come back, right? Is he your friend? Everyone in the village knows that, The man on the ferry is a fish monster. He will eat most of the people he carries into the sea. Only those who are destined to the Nanlan Sea can really go to the fairy mountain... But if you can't come back, you can't come back. Now, why not go to the Immortal Mountain? Old man, I have lived my whole life, and I have never seen or heard of anyone coming back..."
"So suspenseful?" Lu Ran found it very interesting when he heard this. Xu Fang was quite good at pretending to be a ghost.
After giving the old man another five dollars, Lu Ran ran towards the direction pointed by the old man.
Some people died, but not completely...
