Vol 2 Chapter 3000: Time flies
"call……"
The wind blew and the leaves rustled.
"Kachacha..."
There was a sound of stepping on dead leaves, and a young man in his twenties was carrying a medicine basket behind him. In the medicine basket there was already half a basket of fresh herbs that had just been picked.
"what?"
The young man let out a scream and looked at the four stone statues not far in front of him. After a while, he walked a few steps forward and bowed in front of the four stone statues.
"Why is there a stone statue here?
This is Huofeng Mountain, a volcano erupted just a few years ago. Could it be that these four gods suppressed the volcano and prevented it from erupting? "
The young man murmured, then got up, walked around the four stone statues, and reached out and touched them.
"There is no cheat!"
The young man returned to the four statues again, looking at the four statues, until the sky gradually darkened, he shook his head and turned to leave.
More than a month has passed. On a sunny afternoon, six more figures climbed up the mountain. The one headed was the young man who had picked medicine before, as well as three young people and two women.
As soon as the two women climbed the mountain, they were surprised: "Yang Chunyu, you didn't lie to us, there are really four stone statues here."
"I didn't lie to you?"
The five little friends cheered and all rushed to the four statues. Yang Chunyu hurriedly shouted:
"You have to bye bye first."
The five little friends hurriedly stopped and bowed to the four stone statues, each murmured some words, and then began to circle the four stone statues, and removed the vines entwined with the stone statues. Nothing was found. , And buckled the moss on the stone statue again, and what was left was disappointment and found nothing.
"Nothing! I was so happy."
"I told you, there is nothing but four stone statues."
"It's boring, go, go, go home."
"Who do you think is so idle that I have carved four stone statues here?"
"Not very sculptural."
"It's not a sculpture, is it your own growth?"
As time passed, more and more people came to see the stone statues. An old Taoist built a Taoist temple on the mountain, named the Four Sages.
Sitting in front of four stone statues every day.
From winter to spring, I don't know how many people came to the stone statue to realize their feelings, but they all got nothing.
I don't know how many years have passed.
The stone statue was covered with dust, covered with moss, and wrapped in layers of vines.
Even in spring and summer, the plants on the four stone statues are full of flowers.
The old Taoism that once established Taoism has left, and that Taoism has fallen. There used to be a strong incense in front of the four stone statues,
All that is left is the broken incense altar.
There was an endless stream of people who came to visit the statues, and then there was a wave every month, then there was a wave every year, and then... no one came.
From being discovered to becoming legends, the four stone statues were finally forgotten.
Occasionally, someone came here, but they didn't specifically come to see the four statues. They just passed by here for various reasons, and they just took a glance and left in a hurry.
Some people have been hunted down here, and some people have fought decisively here, and the blood was spilled on the four stone statues.
There are even more flying birds on the heads and shoulders of the four stone statues.
This mountain is so high that it is off the beaten track.
Before I knew it, fifty years passed by.
The golden sunlight is shining on the cloudless sky on Huofeng Mountain, and the peaks in spring are green everywhere.
Even in direct sunlight, it gives people a cool feeling.
"Snapped!"
With one hand clasped on the rock crevice, a young man was climbing up the mountain with difficulty. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, his clothes were soaked and his appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were full of stubbornness.
His physical strength looked mediocre, he seemed to have exhausted the last bit of strength, and finally climbed to the mountain peak, turned over and lay on the grass on his back, panting heavily.
"This is the top of Huofeng Mountain?"
The boy gasped for a while, got up from the ground, and walked towards the four stone statues.
The young man looked up at the four stone statues, and finally shook his head disappointedly. He did not try to remove the vine, nor did he try to remove the moss, because he knew very well in his heart that if the stone statue had a secret engraved on it, it would have been discovered long ago.
Turning his head and looking at the sea of clouds under the mountain, he took a deep breath, then pulled away, and began to punch a set of punches.
"Papa..."
The sound of the air being blown up, the feet are not raised high, and the feet are not knee-high, walking like mud. The fists opened and closed, and the wind screamed.
One by one, the style was coherent, and the young man's head began to emit a little heat.
"Snapped!"
At the last sound, the boy stopped and took a few breaths, disappointed in his eyes.
How long has this been?
It's been four years, right?
I still can't reach the peak of body tempering!
How can you practice Qi even if your body tempering can't reach the peak? How to build a foundation?
He looked at the white clouds churning under his feet, his heart churning too.
Is it because my aptitude is not good, or the aura of heaven and earth has become weak?
He turned around, faced the four statues, sat cross-legged, and muttered to himself.
"It's a pity that I missed the best era in the Azure Continent. The legendary ancient period was full of auras, foundation-building monks could be seen everywhere, and the sword flew towards the east and west."
"What a glorious era was that!"
"Huhu..."
There was a panting sound from under the cliff, and the young man looked shocked, got up from the ground, walked to the edge of the cliff, and saw a young girl climbing upwards.
"Muxue, are you here?"
Mu Xue looked up and saw Li Che, with joy on her face, and she stretched out her hand and said, "Take me."
Li Che stretched out his hand and grabbed Mu Xue's little hand. With a strong upward force, he pulled Mu Xue up. Mu Xue sat down on the grass and said:
"You really are here, I have heard you mumble about coming here in the past two days."
"You haven't said yet, are you here?"
Mu Xue's expression changed, and she stretched out her hand to grab Li Che's wrist and said, "Are you causing trouble again? People from the City Lord's Mansion are looking for you everywhere."
"People from the City Lord's Mansion are looking for me?"
"Yeah, don't go to Yangcheng. The farther you leave, the better."
Li Che frowned, a hint of irritation in his heart. He couldn't figure out why the City Lord's Mansion was looking for him everywhere. Then asked:
"You haven't heard anything?"
"No, someone asked, they said they didn't know, they only knew the order of the City Lord's Mansion to find you. Don't go back, leave as soon as possible."
While talking, he took the backpack from his body and said, "This is for you. It has some silver and dry food."
"What about you?"
