Chapter 617: Immortal Mountain
Ouyang Jingping snorted: "What the devil wants to know, stop the car, I want to get off!"
The car was still driving in the wilderness. It was very dangerous to get off the car here, so Zhang Jun glared at her: "Stop making trouble!"
His words really worked. Ouyang Jingping suddenly became silent. She rolled her eyes and said, "Brother Zhang, if you go forward, you will find the 'Fairy Mountain'. Let's go there and play, okay?"
The black-faced boy sneered and said, "How hypocritical. You obviously want something from Brother Zhang, why don't you just say it."
Ouyang Jingping suddenly blushed and said angrily: "I want you to take care of it!"
Zhang Jun glanced at her and asked, "Ouyang, why do you want to go to the Fairy Mountain?"
Ouyang Jingjing's eyes turned red and he said, "Brother Zhang, I know an old grandfather who lives in Shenxian Mountain. He is so pitiful. His hands and feet are disabled. I wonder if you can help him treat him?"
Huang Zhonghe said: "To get to Shenxian Mountain from here, you have to go around more than 200 kilometers of mountain roads."
Ouyang Jingping lowered his head: "If you are pressed for time, then just don't go."
Zhang Jun looked at her with a smile. Presumably that "grandpa" was not her relative, nor was he a wealthy businessman. She wanted to help him out of good intentions.
"Why don't you just tell me?" he asked.
Ouyang Jingjing said sheepishly: "I know it's hard to find a miracle doctor like Brother Zhang. The fee for treating a high-ranking official is very high. I... I'm embarrassed."
Zhang Jun nodded: "Don't worry, I will go there and I won't charge for consultation. For doctors, charging is a means, and treatment is the purpose."
Ouyang Jingping was overjoyed and suddenly hugged Zhang Jun and kissed him: "Thank you, Brother Zhang!"
The black-faced boy sighed and said, "Hey, I feel like a villain."
Ouyang Jingping snorted and ignored him. After a while, she began to talk about how she met the crippled old man.
Since one of her college classmates lived near Shenxian Mountain, four people in the dormitory went to Shenxian Mountain together during the summer vacation last year.
Shenxian Mountain is very beautiful, with good mountains, water, and scenery. There are many wild fruits, wild teas, and wild animals on the mountain. There are also hot springs, canyons, and waterfalls. The four girls lingered over it and couldn't miss it. Although the mountains and rivers are good, there are still many dangerous places on Shenxian Mountain, and even the locals dare not go there easily.
The four girls were so bold that after making some preparations, they began to climb the most dangerous place in the Fairy Mountain, the Star Reaching Platform. Star-catching platform, as the name suggests, people standing here can reach out and pick stars, which is a metaphor for the extremely high position of this place.
If you want to enter the star-catching platform, you must pass through a stone beam. The stone beam is about a hundred meters long, and the middle part is very thin and slippery. If you are not careful, it will fall and be shattered into pieces. The four girls, newborn calves, were not afraid of tigers and actually tried to pass.
Ouyang Jingping was walking in the front. Unexpectedly, she had only taken three steps when a mountain monkey suddenly jumped out from under the beam. Frightened, she lost her balance and fell down. The stone beam was several hundred meters away from the valley below, and she felt the wind whistling in her ears, and the cliff on one side quickly grew longer.
She screamed and fainted from the extreme fear.
When she woke up, she found herself lying in a pile of hay. I don’t know what kind of grass it is. It is very fine and soft. It has no earthy smell. Instead, it exudes a faint fragrance. It is very comfortable to sleep on it. An old man with white hair and a kind-hearted face stood aside. The old man's arms were hanging on the ground and his legs were weak. It was obvious that he was a disabled person.
When the old man saw him waking up, he smiled and said, "You're awake. You've been sleeping for a long time."
Only then did Ouyang Jingping remember falling off the cliff. She quickly asked, "Am I not dead?"
The old man laughed "haha": "If you die, will it be possible for me to go to hell?"
Ouyang Jingping pinched herself and said "Ouch" in pain. She immediately became happy and asked, "Grandpa, why didn't I die?"
"You are blessed with great fortune. You were blocked by a few pine trees when you fell. In addition, the bottom of the valley is covered with thick dead leaves, which are very soft and cushion the impact. Otherwise, you would really have fallen. Dead." The old man said, "I saw you unconscious on the ground, and I tried my best to drag you in."
Ouyang Jingping was very nervous. She did not study this matter in detail. Instead, she was attracted by the place where the old man lived. I saw that this was a very spacious tree hole, covering more than ten square meters. The tree hole is about two meters high, and inside is a very simple wooden table, as well as some simple utensils such as pottery bowls and cups.
She asked in surprise: "Grandpa, why do you live at the bottom of the valley? Is it because your children are unfilial and don't let you live at home?"
The old man smiled "haha": "I have no children and don't like to interact with others, so I moved to live under the valley to be alone."
Just like that, Ouyang Jingping asked around, but she still didn't know the old man's name or where he was from. Before the sun set, the old man showed her a way up the mountain, and the two said goodbye.
After listening to her story, Zhang Jun frowned slightly and asked, "I think you shouldn't disturb him anymore."
The black-faced boy clapped his hands and said, "Big brother still has vision, this silly girl doesn't understand anything at all."
Ouyang Jingping said angrily: "You are stupid!"
The black-faced boy sighed and said, "You think he is disabled and you think he is pitiful. Maybe others don't think there is anything wrong with this. When I was a child, I saw that fish could only swim in the water, and I thought it was not good to have so many fish. Not only was it cold inside, but I couldn’t breathe the air, so I took the fish ashore, but they died quickly.”
Ouyang Jingping was stunned. She was not really stupid. Naturally, she understood the meaning of the black-faced boy's words. She pondered: "Are you saying that grandpa is used to this kind of life and doesn't want to change?"
"That's only half right." The black-faced boy rolled his eyelids, "Let Brother Zhang explain it to you."
Ouyang Ningjing then turned to Zhang Jun for help. Zhang Jun thought for a while and asked her: "Ouyang, are you really ready to save him? You must know that the old man may not welcome you at all and does not need your help."
"Whether he needs help or not, we won't know until we meet him. As long as there is a chance, I will give it a try. He is so old and still living a lonely life like a primitive man. It is so pitiful." She insisted. Original idea.
Zhang Jun saw her resolute expression and said, "This old man may not be an ordinary person. What you see is just his surface."
"Not an ordinary person?" Ouyang Jingping didn't hear what Zhang Jun meant.
He explained: "The stone beam is several hundred meters away from the bottom of the valley. At such a high distance, the stone can be broken. Do you think it can be blocked by a few branches? Also, since he said that the branches saved your life , but are you injured?"
Ouyang Jingping thought for a while: "I don't have any injuries on my body."
"That's it. With such a fast landing speed and such a strong impact, even a small branch will leave scars, but there are no scars on you." Zhang Jun said, "Even if there are thick dead leaves on the ground, It’s impossible to save your life, it’s too high, and it will definitely hurt you even if there’s water below.”
Ouyang Jingping was surprised when he heard this: "Brother Zhang, do you think that grandpa is an expert outside the world?"
Zhang Jun: "I don't know if he is an expert from outside the world. I only know that he must have saved you. You can imagine what kind of person can save you in that situation."
Ouyang Jingping said doubtfully: "A few hundred meters high, the landing speed should be very fast. Grandpa's legs and feet are not good, how could he save me?"
She never thought about this question clearly, but she didn't take it seriously and decided to ask directly when they met again.
After driving more than a hundred kilometers, the car passed a small town. The black-faced boy suddenly said with a solemn expression: "I suddenly can't see anymore."
Only Zhang Jun understood the meaning of this sentence. When he said he couldn't see it, he meant that he couldn't predict what would happen ten minutes later.
He glanced at the other party, whose expression changed and said: "Next, our experience will be impressive, everyone should be prepared."
It was getting dark at this time, so Huang Zhonghe suggested that everyone take a short rest in a hotel in the town, and everyone agreed. The conditions of the small hotel were good. Zhang Jun and the black-faced boy asked for a room, while Huang Zhonghe and Ouyang Jingping shared a room.
In the evening, the four of them had dinner together and then went back to their rooms to rest. At midnight, the dark-faced boy sitting cross-legged on the bed playing with his mobile phone suddenly raised his head and said, "Brother Zhang, it's time for me to confess to you."
Zhang Jun hummed lukewarmly, seeming to have little interest in his "confession".
The black-faced boy put away his giggling expression and said solemnly: "My name is Bai Xuan, and I have been following my master since I was a child. My master is blind, deaf and mute. According to the neighbors, the three of me He was adopted by his master when he was just one month old.”
"Although I have this master, I was able to speak when I was seven months old, and I don't know who I learned it from. I was clever and didn't seem to have learned writing, but I could read when I was one year old. There were many people around the master. It’s full of books, so I read when I have nothing to do.”
"As I get older, I want to go out for a walk. When I was twelve years old, I started to travel in the world. I have played almost all the eight gates of the world. I can't do anything like cheating, cheating, eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling. Some old liars have been deceived into bankruptcy by me.”
"In this way, I have been working outside until I was eighteen years old. Last month, I went to see the master. His health is getting worse and worse. It seems that he will die at any time." At this point, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Jun, "Brother, my master said that he only has three months left to live. Within three months, no one can save him unless we find someone like eldest brother who makes it impossible for me to foresee the future."
"You mean, I can save your master?" Zhang Jun asked.
"Although I'm not sure, I want to give it a try." Bai Xuan said, "If eldest brother can save my master, then the rest of my life, Bai Xuan, belongs to eldest brother. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it!"
Zhang Jun looked at him and said slowly: "I know a little bit and believe it. I already knew your fate when we first met."
The young man raised his eyebrows, but his face lost all the playful smile and became very serious. He said: "Brother, tell me what you have to say. I am the person who is least afraid of blows."
Zhang Jun said: "Your destiny is the 'Tiansha Lonely Star', also known as the broom star. Do you think I will keep you by my side?"
Bai Xuan laughed "haha": "I believe in everything, but I don't believe in fate!"
Zhang Jun sighed and said, "If you don't believe in fate, why are you looking for me?"
Bai Xuan's face suddenly turned as pale as paper. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said with a sullen face: "But I never gave in! Brother, can you help me?"
"Give me a reason." Zhang Jun said calmly, "It's not the bullshit reason just now. I have no shortage of slaves around me."
