……………………

Three days later, a breeze came from the sky.

This is a shallow beach in a river bay. The surrounding grass and trees are withered and yellow, and the distant mountains are colorful like brocade, a scene of autumn.

On the shore of the river beach, a boy wrapped in coarse cloth was searching back and forth in the shallow water. He was only seven or eight years old, with a headband on his head, dark skin, and a wooden fork in his hand. He was very agile and clever. In addition, his bare feet stepped out a string of water splashes, and the occasional laughter made him look like a busy and naughty child.

In the rapids deep in the river bay, a man in his early thirties stood steadily. His dress and appearance were somewhat similar to that of the child, but he bent over and held a flat and long willow basket in his hand to intercept something in the water.

After a while, there was a splash of water. The man suddenly lifted up the willow basket, walked towards the shore, and said with a smile: "Haha! Little Heizi, come and have a look..." Before he finished laughing, he had already reached the shore. Then he shook his arms, and a live fish more than two feet long flew out of the basket. It hit the mud with a "bang", and it was still jumping up and down and struggling desperately.

Country kids have random nicknames. Heizi, Niu'er, Shitou, Yazi, etc., which sound vulgar, but are easy to call, and reveal a bit of simplicity and nature.

The boy named Heizi exclaimed and ran over. Before the man arrived, he threw the wooden fork and leaped, and actually threw the live fish under him, then rolled over, hugged the live fish tightly and jumped up, and ran straight to a piece of bluestone not far away.

Next to the bluestone, there was a round willow basket.

Heizi stuffed the fish into the basket, and the fish was still jumping. He then said excitedly in a childish voice: "Dad! This big fish must be several dozen pounds..."

The man laughed and said loudly: "Nonsense, the fish is only more than ten pounds..." His eyes were filled with doting, carrying the willow basket, he turned around and walked back, muttering to himself: "It's autumn, the season for fish and meat..."

Heizi got up from the ground, not caring about the mud, while picking up his wooden fork, he said with salivating: "I'll ask my mother to stew a big pot of fish soup later, hehe..." He just picked up the wooden fork, suddenly turned his head and asked curiously: "Hey... who are you..."

On the grass on the shore, an old man in a gray robe appeared at some point. His hair and beard were silver, with a jade hairpin on his head, his face was thin, and his expression was kind, just like a hermit with immortal style! Seeing the child asking questions, he held his long beard and smiled, saying, "I am an idler who travels around!"

The fisherman looked over and said, "Heizi, don't be rude!" He still stood in the waist-deep water, bowed to the old man on the shore, and said respectfully, "Hello, elder..."

Heizi was scolded and pouted, as if he was wronged. But he still held the wooden fork in his arms and bowed in a proper manner, saying, "Heizi is polite in front of the elder!" When he bowed, his black eyes couldn't help looking around, and the habits of a naughty child were completely natural.

This pair of father and son in the countryside, although they were born in the grass, have the interest of family and are content and at ease, and they are always in awe. Such a scene seems familiar. Inexplicably, it makes people feel good about it!

Just as people's humble position does not prevent them from yearning for high mountains. But when they climb to the top of the mountain and face the wind, they can't forget the stability and leisure of being down to earth!

Moshan, Mingquan Valley

The old man was very easygoing. He waved his hand to indicate that the other party did not need to be polite, and asked with a smile: "I don't know where this place is, where this water leads to, can you give me some pointers..."

Heizi stood up, still full of curiosity.

The man in the water answered casually: "This is Longhu Beach, the upper reaches of Hengshui. It is said that Hengshui is ten thousand miles long, passing through thousands of mountains, and after ninety-nine and eighty-one bends, it flows into the sea..."

The old man asked again: "Have you ever heard of Wanshan Mingya, or Moshan Mingquan Valley?"

Wanshan, Mingya, comes from a passage of Long Fan's last words: "Wanshan got the sword, Mingya gathered people, and shocked the area..."

And Mingquan Valley in Moshan is where Mingji's master is. Back then, he had something to do and had no time to split himself, so he entrusted Xiannu and Huang Po Po to that woman. When she left, she left the place name so that they could meet again in the future.

The man shook his head and answered truthfully: "Although I have never been far away, I know the area hundreds of miles away very well. I have never heard of those two places..."

The old man hummed and said disapprovingly: "Sorry for bothering me. I'm leaving now!" He turned and walked along the river bank. When he left, he did not forget to turn back and smile at the child: "The fish soup is very delicious, haha!" Before he finished laughing, he was already walking away with his sleeves fluttering.

Heizi's eyes were bright and he smiled. Until the figure of the old man disappeared behind the stone hill a hundred feet away, he turned around and shouted: "Dad! Could it be the old immortal..."

The man was holding the basket with both hands and continued fishing. As for his son's question, he didn't take it to heart at all. Children are mostly curious. He said casually: "Maybe..."

However, Heizi was not just curious. When the old man saw it, he felt comfortable all over his body, and even his strength seemed to be a little stronger, but it was inexplicable. He asked, "Dad! Have you really seen a fairy?"

The man said, "I've only heard the elders in the clan talk about it, but I've never seen it with my own eyes."

Heizi was a little frustrated and muttered, "Dad has never seen a fairy, so how can he know what a fairy looks like..."

The man shook the willow basket in the water and said with a smile: "Gods are great! If there are gods, then the legends of reincarnation of ghosts must be true. Only when we pray and make wishes will it work, and we will have more hope in this day..."

Heizi didn't quite understand what his father said, but he only remembered that there were gods in this world.

"Splash--"

With a sound of water, the man raised the willow basket that was used as a fishing net.

Heizi saw it clearly and immediately threw the idea of ​​gods out of the sky. But just when he was about to shout for joy, he was stunned again. He saw his father pour the fish in the basket into the water and continued to bend over and work. He was puzzled and said: "Dad! Why is this so..."

The man patiently explained: "It was a female fish, swimming upstream only to spend the winter and lay eggs next year. If it is killed, wouldn't it be a way to fish..."

...

Under a mountain peak more than ten miles away, the gray-clothed old man stopped. He looked at the river in front of him for a while, turned back and smiled slightly.

Although they were far away from the river beach, the situation of the father and son was clear at a glance.

The father's idea was actually very simple. Life is short and it passes by in a flash. Even if there is helplessness, there is only sighing. If the soul can be passed on forever, many unfulfilled wishes will have a place to rest. Therefore, I hope there are immortals! As for where the immortals are, just let your imagination run wild!

Wasn't it the same for Mr. Lin back then?

However, the man did not exhaust all the fish in the pond and knew the principle of stopping when enough was enough, which was really impressive! Compared with him, many immortals who did everything they could were actually vulgar...

The old man thought of this and looked up at the sky.

He wandered around Qianhuang alone for several days and finally avoided the defense and sneaked into this place. After landing, he was at a loss and had to ask the father and son for directions, but in the end it was in vain. Where should we go next...

At this time, someone spread the word: "Boss! It is very difficult to find the direction when walking through the mountains and forests like this without being able to look from a high place! As for where Wanshan and Mingya are, there is no way to find them..."

The old man shook his head and said: "Now we are deep in an unpredictable place, we have to endure it for the time being. If there is anything unusual, it will inevitably reveal our whereabouts!" He thought for a while, raised his wrist and ordered: "Since you two have something to hide, come out..."

But in the blink of an eye, two sturdy figures suddenly appeared.

One is an old man with a light golden beard, his eyes are majestic and his demeanor is extraordinary. After landing, he looked arrogant.

The other old man, who is also an old man, has a white beard. Even with a smile on his face, his tiger eyes are still wide open and revealing murderous intent. As soon as he stood firm, he laughed at the gaunt old man opposite him and said, "Hey, boss, you look good as an old man..."

The title of boss is exclusive to one person. And this gaunt old man is naturally Lin Yi. The two old men who appeared are his two brothers. It's just that although Hu Tou has changed his appearance, his nature has not changed.

Lin Yi held his long beard and said calmly, "Did I look ugly before..."

Hu Tou said shamelessly, "Well! Just a little worse than me, boss, don't be discouraged, haha..." Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but say happily, "My brothers have become three old men, which is really interesting!"

Lao Long seemed like a real old man, with a calm and condensed aura all over his body. He held his golden beard and smiled slightly, then looked around and couldn't help wondering: "It's hard to see any cultivators within a thousand miles of this place, it must not be Wanshan..." Lin Yi looked up and down at the two brothers and nodded secretly. The other party not only changed his appearance, but also concealed his whole body of cultivation. If it weren't for Jiuxuan, Lingdao, Qingye and the like, it would not be easy to see through the truth. He thought for a moment, and followed the voice of Lao Long: "It is not convenient to use the divine sense and cultivation easily for the time being, so as not to cause trouble. At present, the direction is unclear and everything is unpredictable, so treat this trip as a leisure trip. But if there is an unexpected situation, we can act at the right time! Even if we deal with the old man Jiuxuan, my brother has plenty of time..."

Lao Long understood, but was puzzled: "The size of Qianhuang is similar to Zhongye. If we abandon the divine sense and cultivation, it will be inconvenient to travel..."

Hu Tou said disapprovingly: "Why do we have to hurry? Let's find a tavern, and you and I brothers have a good drink. The two...ah...?" He looked familiar and greedy, and kept giving eyes to Lin Yi and Lao Long.

Lin Yi ignored Hu Tou and said to himself: "There must be someone watching and patrolling in the sky, but not underground!" After speaking, a layer of yellow light surged around him, and he instantly sank into the ground and disappeared. Lao Long smiled and followed him.

Hu Tou said anxiously: "Hey, you two, wait for me..."
