Chapter 468 Don't Believe in Longevity (Part [-])
The cup is very small, a little more than two inches, round, wide mouthed, and has no handle. Although the body of the cup is dirty, the pattern exposed on the outside still shows its elegance.

Aunt Rou is no stranger to this cup. Three years ago, Shen Man dug a coffin. In the burial beside the coffin was a brocade box wrapped in longevity satin cloth. Inside the brocade box was a set of silver wine vessels. There were seven such silver cups in it.

The tomb is far away in the mountains of Liushi Mountain in Zhenzhou. It is extremely hidden. It has a history of about 300 years. It is not Shen Nan who wants to dig it, but Shen Nan's master, Qingzhou Shenglao Fan Zhuyi.

That set of wine vessels was finally taken away by Ji Hong, and now in Lin Qingfeng's hands, she likes to collect these most.

Shen Yan looked at the small cup without moving his fingers, Aunt Rou didn't know what he was thinking.

"My lord..." Rou Gu called out.

Shen Yan looked up at her, responded, and threw the cup back.

The cup tumbled back to where it had rolled out, onto the rotting, black scum.

"Guess, what is this place for?" Shen Yan asked while looking at the cup.

Aunt Rou shook her head and turned to look at him: "You never said it, so I wouldn't guess."

The torch was held by Shen Yan, his face was covered with a cloth, and the high bridge of his nose propped up the cloth.

"Alchemy," Shen Yan said indifferently, "many of them are medicine dregs."

"Pharmaceutical dregs?" Aunt Rou looked at the broken head with surprise in her eyes, "This head is so soft, could it be..."

"As for this baby, maybe it's too late." Shen Wen said.

"It's disgusting." Aunt Rou wanted to vomit.

Shen Yan threw away the handkerchief in his hand, picked up the long sword on the ground, walked forward, and said: "This dark hall is called Qianqiu Hall, and there are about four alchemy rooms dedicated to firing longevity pills."

"Longevity Pill?" Rou Gu read softly.

"Do you believe in immortality in this world?" Shen Wen turned to look at Rou Gu.

Aunt Rou shook her head and said, "I don't believe it, if there really is longevity, how can this place be barren?"

Shen Yan smiled faintly: "I don't believe it either."

He looked up and looked around, and said as he walked: "But there will definitely be a large collection of medical books and medicines here, and there may be some medicinal materials."

"After a hundred years, the medicinal materials must not be used anymore."

"But you can take a look and see which medicinal materials they value."

Thinking of the head and the baby, Aunt Rou felt sick to her stomach.

Shen Yan seemed to have thought of this too, paused in his footsteps, and said, "However, I understand what is right and what is wrong, what to do and what not to do."

"Hmm..." Aunt Rou nodded.

The subordinates searched for a long time and found five gates. Three gates were blocked and they couldn't get in. There were two gates left.

Shen Yan led the people to the nearest path first.

The door was not blocked, but it was difficult to open, and it took a lot of work to get it open.

The tedious sound of rubbing made people feel depressed, and moved inch by inch, and what appeared was an empty and spacious stone room, with a table in the middle, several stools, and corrupt calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls around. A pile of dust and cobwebs and nothing else.

Shen Wen held the torch and stepped forward, there were steps going down in front of him, and his subordinates followed behind him, just like him, raising their eyes to look around.

"Maybe we are the only ones who have been here for hundreds of years." Aunt Rou said.

Shen Wen stopped in front of the table, the sword in his hand lightly slashed across the table, the sharp tip of the long sword gathered the dust into one place.

"One day in the mountains, thousands of years in the world." Shen Yan smiled lowly, "This feeling is really good."

He turned his head, looked at his subordinates, and said, "I haven't slept all night, let's rest here."

"En." Everyone responded.

……

……

When the light of day falls, the visibility in the abyss is better, and you can see far, far.

The frost and snow in the surrounding mountains slowly sank, snow blocks fell from time to time around the cliffs, and in some places, fine water gradually merged and trickled down.

Shen An's subordinates staying above are constantly clearing the surrounding frost and snow, at least to keep this area dry, but it is very difficult, and this is the most important reason why Shen An prefers to go down overnight.

At the same time, their eyes are constantly looking around.

"Where did he go?" said one of his men.

"I don't know..." The thinner subordinate looked into the distance and said, "Is there someone there?"

The companions all looked up.

Just before they went uphill, something seemed to be approaching them.

"Beast?"

"Looks like a human."

"He is back?"

"It seems... a little girl?"

The clump of vegetation was getting closer and closer, everyone put on a defensive posture, stepped back, and waited solemnly.

A lush forest was pushed away, frost and snow fell, and a smiling face appeared: "You have good eyesight!"

The girl smiled brightly and playfully, her voice was crisp and clear, her skin was as snowy as the purple fringed white clothes of the Yuanhe Sect, which made her seem to be able to reflect the light.

"Ali." One of his subordinates recognized her.

The others were startled, more defensive than before, and looked at her vigilantly.

What is she doing here at this time?
If something bad happens, it's really a big trouble.

"Who are you talking about?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

"It's Shen Lie," said one person, "You came to see Shen Lie?"

"I'm here to find Shen Wen." Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile.

Everyone's complexion suddenly changed, and they looked at her with more vigilance.

"Pfft!" Xia Zhaoyi smiled, bright as peaches and plums, and said, "I won't scare you anymore, I'm here to find Shen Lie, where is Shen Lie?"

Several subordinates were annoyed, if it was an ordinary child, they would definitely hang her up and hang her from the edge of the cliff to frighten her for a long time.

"Did Shen Lie go down?" Xia Zhaoyi looked towards the cliff.

"He went to find his way," said one of his men, "and has been gone for about a quarter of an hour."

"He didn't pass here?" Xia Zhaoyi stretched out his finger.

"He said he's not stupid." The thinnest subordinate at the side replied dryly.

"That's right," Xia Zhaoyi nodded, "You people with malicious intentions might cut the rope."

"What nonsense!" one of the subordinates shouted immediately.

Another subordinate muttered in a low voice: "I think he is timid and scared."

"Oh," Xia Zhaoyi looked at that subordinate, "You are very courageous, how about I hang you up here to see how courageous you are?"

It was clearly a little girl, whose height only reached their shoulders, and there were so many of them, she was only one person, but what she said made people feel uncomfortable and unkind.

This subordinate stopped talking, and the broom for sweeping snow was still in front of him, keeping vigilance all the time.

Xia Zhaoyi withdrew his gaze, looked around, and said, "Which direction did Shen Lie go?"

"Over there." A subordinate pointed to the south.

"But what he said was to find the way. It's possible that he went around the north from somewhere."

"Well, thank you very much." Xia Zhaoyi raised his hands and cupped his fists.

She turned around and was about to leave, but after a few steps, she turned around and looked at these men.

"I remembered one thing," Xia Zhaoyi said, "When did you come here? Apart from you, have you seen other people in this area?"
