Woof woof woof…
There is an old locust tree at the entrance of Changshou Village.
Under the locust tree, a big yellow dog was lying down sleeping.
As soon as it smelled someone approaching, it started barking.
But when Black Wind glanced at him, the big yellow dog immediately shut its mouth, tucked its tail between its legs, and ran away!
Chen Fan was not surprised.
With a smile on his face, he looked around the village, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Looking closely, I heard a dog barking, and people had already come out!
The man who came out was a middle-aged farmer of medium build with a square face.
After glancing up a few times, he quickly chuckled and said:
"Young man... just passing by..."
"Just passing by..." Chen Fan nodded slightly.
"Brother, is it convenient to stay here overnight...?"
"Why call me 'Big Brother'?" the farmer chuckled.
"I'm eighty-three years old this year, you should call me grandpa. You can stay overnight; there's enough room for you in our village."
Eighty-three?
Chen Fan was taken aback. He looked at the farmer closely, his face full of confusion.
"You...are eighty-three?"
"It's normal not to believe it..." the farmer said with a smile.
"Our village is known as a longevity village...the average person lives to be over 100 years old!"
Chen Fan fell silent!
It should be known that the lifespan of ordinary people is generally short. Without practicing martial arts to strengthen the body, living to seventy or eighty years old is usually the limit!
And this is without having married and had children. If one indulges in sensual pleasures in youth, one will inevitably die decades earlier.
In this longevity village, the average person lives to be over 100 years old.
Feeling bewildered, Chen Fan glanced at the mountain opposite the village, seemingly guessing what was going on.
Without giving it much thought, he rode Black Wind into the village.
Looking around, the houses in the village are scattered like stars, arranged in an orderly manner.
With the farmer leading the way, people peeked out from house to house to investigate.
There were young children and elderly people with white hair.
Chen Fan sensed a strong vitality in every one of these people!
Just like when I first saw the dense aura of death emanating from Xiaodie.
Without time to think further, Chen Fan could only take it one step at a time.
Feeling it was too much of a coincidence, he was soon led to a courtyard.
The farmer stopped and pointed to the yard, saying:
"You can stay here... There's no one else inside. I'll come and call you for dinner later..."
As he spoke, the hospitable farmer turned and left.
Chen Fan nodded.
Watching the person leave, he gently dismounted and said:
"Go to that mountain and see if you need anything, then call me."
"I'm not going!" Black Wind shook his head and said.
"I'm tired, I want to sleep!"
Clang!
But then Chen Fan drew his sword, scaring Black Wind away in a flash!
Once his complexion returned to normal, he pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside.
Upon closer inspection, the yard was spotless and well-organized.
There is also a stone table and several stone benches in the courtyard.
Besides these, there were only a few tiled houses.
With a smile on his face, Chen Fan sighed and sat down at the stone table.
With a casual wave of his hand, a tea set appeared on the table.
After calmly pouring himself a cup of tea, he slowly began to rest.
"Father-in-law, I don't like this place." Just then, Xiaodie's voice came from the umbrella that was being carried on Chen Fan's back.
"The anger is too strong," Chen Fan said with a smile.
"It's normal if you don't like it...it's fine!"
"I always feel something's off about this place," Xiaodie's voice came again:
"How can there be such a strange place!"
Chen Fan shook his head slightly.
He seemed oblivious, his eyes filled with indifference.
Not long after, footsteps could be heard outside the door.
Then the farmer walked in.
This man's surname is Zheng, and his given name is Er Gou.
"Brother Zheng, you've arrived..." Chen Fan stood up and said with a smile!
"Young master, I just saw your horse run off to the back mountain. Are you alright?" the honest and simple-minded Brother Zheng asked.
"If you're in a hurry, I'll go find it for you right away. There aren't many wild animals in that area behind the mountain; the water is beautiful and the grass is lush. I reckon it went looking for food!"
"Yes, I made it go," Chen Fan nodded.
"It's fine as long as it doesn't bother you."
"That's alright, eat whatever you like." Brother Zheng grinned and said:
"Let's go eat! It's been a long time since anyone from the village has come; all the villagers have come to join in the fun!"
Chen Fan grinned.
Not one to stand on ceremony, he immediately followed Brother Zheng.
The two chatted and laughed all the way, talking about many things related to the longevity village.
According to Brother Zheng, there used to be quite a lot of people in this area.
But then there were years of war, and all the young people were conscripted into the army and never came back.
Only these elderly people, some in their seventies and eighties, and others over a hundred, remain here, including many orphans and widows.
Besides these, Chen Fan also specifically asked about that mountain.
Brother Zheng said that the mountain appeared back in his grandfather's generation, but he couldn't remember exactly how far away it was.
He only said that when he was a child, he saw some glowing runes in these mountains, and then they disappeared!
Upon learning this, Chen Fan secretly kept it in mind.
Unhurriedly, he quickly arrived at Brother Zheng's house.
Looking around, there were four or five elderly men with gray hair waiting here.
Inside the kitchen, a farmer's wife is washing rice and cooking.
When she saw people arrive, she came out to welcome them with a smile.
Upon seeing this, Chen Fan greeted him with a smile, giving off a feeling of peace and harmony.
After talking with the group, he realized that these old men were all over a hundred years old!
The peasant woman inside the house was also over eighty years old!
Chen Fan was quite surprised and felt that there was definitely something strange about this longevity village.
Soon, the casual meal came to an end.
With nothing else to do, he started strolling into the yard.
Upon entering the room, Chen Fan couldn't wait to wave his hand casually.
The next second, a familiar figure appeared in the courtyard; it was Eunuch Wei.
Looking around, he asked in confusion:
"This place... why does it feel so familiar?"
"You're familiar with this?" Chen Fan was taken aback.
"We actually have something to ask you!"
"Please ask, Eunuch Chen?" Eunuch Wei nodded and said:
"It does feel somewhat familiar, not in terms of the terrain, but in a certain feeling!"
Chen Fan didn't waste any words and immediately explained about the Word Fixation Technique.
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wei nodded and said:
"Our family did find it in a mountain... but it was too complicated, and we couldn't figure it out. You ended up getting a lucky break."
"Let's not talk about that..." Chen Fan said with a hint of excitement on his face.
"Is this the mountain you're looking for?"
"No..." Eunuch Wei turned and glanced back at the mountain path behind Longevity Village:
"I remember my family was in Daeyu... not here."
Chen Fan nodded.
After hearing Brother Zheng mention encountering runes in the mountains, he immediately thought of the time when Eunuch Wei encountered the Fixed Character Technique.
Unexpectedly, after he asked me that question, there were indeed some discrepancies.
If what Brother Zheng said is true, then there might really be treasures in these mountains!
"Master...save me..."
But at that moment, Chen Fan heard Black Wind's voice transmission in his ear!
He frowned and looked at the mountain, saying:
"The fish has taken the bait..."
