Zhentian coffin

After the farewell banquet, Li Yao and I boarded the leaving train. Li Yao didn't like airplanes. According to him, with his ability, on land, no matter what kind of disaster happened, he was sure to avoid it. On, there is even a powerful premonition that can be predicted.

But it’s different on the plane, even if you know it, there’s no place to run, unless you’re really a fairy, or you’re sure to die, on the plane, he feels very insecure.

I agree with this statement. I think with my reaction speed and sensitivity, if there is a car accident, I can avoid it in time.

After more than ten hours, we came to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and I knew that the place where they practiced in seclusion was in Zhongnan Mountain.

"I didn't expect you to hide in Zhongnan Mountain. I have been to this place several times, but I didn't find you."

"If you had 20 years earlier, you would have found us, but not now"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because there are too many people, do you know how many people live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain now?"

"I seem to have heard some reports about this. There must be tens of thousands of people. Even homestays and hermit training institutions have come out. The taste has changed a long time ago."

I nodded. This phenomenon has been going on for several years. These years, life pressure is very high. Many people can’t bear it, so they come to live in seclusion. Good, here we come.

The final result is that the number of people here has skyrocketed, and the result of the skyrocketing price has also skyrocketed. The rent of an adobe house used to be only 500 yuan a year, but now it has skyrocketed to more than [-] yuan. People have long been charterers, and they moved away by themselves, leaving behind all the people who live in seclusion from outside.

"That's right, it's all changed. At first we didn't care about it. We thought it was true that many people see through the world and concentrate on cultivating the Tao. But when we got in touch, we found that it was not the case at all. We were so angry, so we had to move."

Li Yao replied, in his opinion, this kind of seclusion is a kind of nonsense, either you can be a layman with peace of mind and go about your life, or you can completely let go of the past and come to live in seclusion from time to time, what do you think of cultivation?No respect.

"Then where did you end up moving?"

"It's still in Zhongnan Mountain, but it's just a place like a peach blossom garden. We spent more than ten years renovating it. Then you will find that the beauty over there is really the most beautiful place in the world."

"No matter how beautiful a place is, you will get tired of seeing too much. This is called aesthetic fatigue. Don't fool me."

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Liu, you are really vigilant, we don't have any malice towards you, do we?"

"I know, otherwise I wouldn't be here"

The two of us walked like flying, walking in the mountain road, the mountains and mountains could not stop our footsteps, along the way, we still saw many hermits, and some hermits came in and out, but there was no communication between each other, just as If they don't know each other, in fact they don't know each other. Li Yao and the others don't recognize these hermits, so naturally they won't contact them.

"Recluse, hermit, and hermit are different. In my opinion, this kind of hermit is a loser in life. They dare not face the pressure of reality, so they choose to escape and choose this way to relieve themselves. pressure.

Hermits are not. They really like this way of life, so they can live on their own all year round. This is a way of life.

As for the seclusion, it’s hard to say, for example, we, the reason why we are secluded, is because the outside is too noisy, we need an environment, and there are some people, the reason for their seclusion..."

After Li Yao returned to Zhongnan Mountain, he was very talkative and talkative. He told me that he had traveled to many places and found that there were hermits in many places.

For example, in a place in Sichuan, in a large natural karst cave, there are still dozens of people living, self-sufficient, with very little dependence on the outside world, which can be regarded as a kind of seclusion.

There is also a place where the descendants of the villagers who escaped due to the war hundreds of years ago live. They are far away from the world and enjoy themselves.

"I haven't seen any of the things you mentioned. It seems that this world is still very exciting."

"Yes, this world is very exciting, so we need enough time to understand this world, Fellow Daoist Liu, in your consciousness, are we the kind of old antiques who meditate at every turn, don't go out for ten or eight years, and are out of touch with the world? "

"It used to be, but I don't think so now, you must have connections with the outside world"

"Of course, the place where we live can even access the Internet, believe it or not"

"I believe it, of course I believe it, you have a close relationship with those in the Security Department."

"Yes, we are not gods, and we also need supplies. We used to get them ourselves. Later, they didn't allow them, so they sent them to us. We just pay a little price. No one suffers, and we also save money. time"

Li Yao replied that those people were actually afraid that they would do bad things. After all, with their strength, if they really tried to do something, they would definitely suffer great damage, so they did everything possible to control them, but they also had their own ways to deal with it. That's the way.

"Actually, this is a win-win outcome, you guys are very smart"

"In this world, if you are not smart, you can only be a mediocre person, or you will be eaten up and wiped out. Sorry, I said something extreme."

"It's not extreme, the law of the jungle preys on the strong, it has been like this since ancient times"

"That's right, it's almost here, just go through this tunnel"

After walking a long distance, we climbed a few hills, and we came to a mountain wall. Li Yao pushed aside a layer of vines, revealing a tunnel, a very small tunnel, about as small as a single-lane road, where large cars could make life difficult for.

"What is this kind of tunnel used for?"

"Of course it's walking. This is our shortcut. We dug it privately, but they also know it. They didn't say it. There is also a road and a tunnel over there, but there is a military camp in front of the tunnel. We don't like to be there. Pass"

"why"

"There are so many reasons. If you don't like it, you just don't like it. We are a group of free people who are being watched all the time. Do you like it?"

"I don't like it either, but I heard that technology is very advanced now. Satellites can see the ground, and even a branch can be seen. You don't have any secrets."

"He has a wall ladder, I have a ladder cloud, there is a cloud above our heads, see, you can't see us"

"I didn't see it, wait a while and take a look"

I nodded, this method is not a big problem for them, there is nothing to doubt.

Soon, we came to an iron gate, Li Yao took out the key to open the door, and walked out, there was a valley full of singing birds and flowers, the valley was very big, surrounded by cliffs, it was like digging a big hole in the same place.

"Smell of sulfur, do you have hot springs here?"

"Of course, the hot springs in Xanadu are a must. Otherwise, what should we do in winter?"

“It must be very beautiful here in winter”

"Must, I like photography for a while, there are many videos, I can show you when the time comes"

Li Yao smiled and said, "Soon, we walked through a field of flowers and grass, and came to a building. I counted, and there were five buildings in total. No, there should be more behind them, but I haven't seen them yet.

"Brother, I'm back"

Li Yao yelled loudly, as loud as a stereo, and soon, several figures came out of the building, one, two, three, including us, a total of five people.

"Brother, you are back, how are things going?"

The person who came was an older man with gray hair who looked 70 to 50 years old, but the people here couldn’t interpret it with common sense, maybe it’s normal to be [-] years older.

"It's done. This is my invited guest. Liu Jinyang, Liu Daoyou, is also a newcomer to our investigation."

"Liu Jinyang met fellow Taoists"

"Liu Daoyou, let me introduce you. This is my senior brother Zhou Fan. He is 130 years old this year. This is my senior brother Hong Tonghong. I am 120 years old this year. This is my senior brother. I am 89 this year. He can be regarded as our junior junior brother here."

Li Yao introduced one by one, the person who talked to me just now is 130 years old, but he is still in good health like a person in his 70s or 90s, the other one is similar, but younger, but the other one looks like fifty People in their early years are less than [-] years old.

"Four people, add up to more than five hundred years old, no one will believe this"

"I also have a brother, but he has been retreating all the year round, he is older"

"How old are"

"I don't know, but he said that he wants to break our record here, so it should be soon."

"Four words, shock, shock"

"Haha, let's not talk about this, little brother, how about cooking?"

"no problem"

The little junior smiled, turned and left.

As for the few of us, we walked to a building, opened it, and it looked like a dojo inside. Li Yao stretched out his hand, and a yin energy appeared, and Xie Changming appeared.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, Fellow Daoist Hong, we meet again."

Xie Changming saw a few people, and his face was extremely gloomy.

"Thank you fellow daoist, I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect to meet under such circumstances"

"Senior Brother, Fellow Daoist Xie has committed a great evil in the secular world. They are unwilling to release him. After my negotiation, we have decided that we will imprison him. He is not allowed to leave this room until he is annihilated."

"So that's the case, then follow the method of the younger brother."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, are you really unwilling to admit the kindness I showed you all those years ago?"

"Thank you, fellow daoist, kindness is due to kindness. We are not ungrateful people, but we can clearly distinguish between small righteousness and great righteousness. If you just make some small mistakes, we are naturally willing to turn a blind eye. But you I'm sorry, if it's us, you won't even have a chance to intercede."

Li Yao said coldly, he had read all Xie Changming's files in the capital, and knew what he had done, just stealing the fortune of the country was enough to sentence him to death.
