Longevity starts from strengthening internal organs

Chapter 257 Reunion of old friends, entering Wanshou mountain

Tan Dong sat in front of the door, looking bored at the people passing by.

He even knows the living habits of these neighbors around him like the back of his hand.

For example, at this hour every morning, the fat woman next to the west would show up on time to buy two taels of sugar from the grocery store by the street.

And after going out, she can't wait to open it and taste a couple of mouthfuls.

There is also the tall and thin man in Dongjiefang, who always goes out for a walk after eating every day, and when he comes back, his mouth is always covered with oil stains, obviously he sneaked out to eat alone.

Living so uneventfully every day, Tan Dong felt that he was about to get moldy.

After stretching his waist, Tan Dong yawned long, and then planned to get up and go back to the house.

But at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure.

It was the appearance of this figure that made his body freeze immediately.

No way.

Could it be that I read it wrong?
But after taking a closer look, Tan Dong was stunned.

Because at this time that figure had already appeared in front of him, tall and straight, with extraordinary temperament, who could it be if it wasn't Zhao Ya?

"Zhao...Brother Zhao?" Tan Dong's voice trembled a little.

Zhao Ya smiled slightly, "What? You don't recognize me?"

After he led Zui'er into Danfeng Town just now, after a little inquiring, he found the door smoothly.

Far away, Zhao Ya saw Tan Dong who was drowsy sitting in front of the door, and wanted to quietly go up to surprise him, but he didn't expect to be discovered by him.

After confirming that he was not dreaming, Tan Dong's tears came down in a flash, and he rushed towards Zhao Ya.

"Brother Zhao, I miss you so much!"

In the next second, Tan Dong landed heavily, and Zhao Ya looked at him helplessly.

"Can you stop being so nasty, I don't like this."

Even if he fell and gnawed shit, Tan Dong was still laughing foolishly.

At the same time, everyone in the courtyard was shocked.

When these servants came out of the nursing home and saw that it was Zhao Ya, they were naturally extremely surprised.

A moment later, in the living room, Song Linqing, who had heard the news, strode in.

Seeing Zhao Ya, Song Linqing's eyes lit up, and he burst out laughing immediately.

"Hahahaha at first I thought these people were talking nonsense, but I didn't expect that you really came back!"

Zhao Ya also smiled, then clasped his fists together and said, "Zhao Ya, I have met the Patriarch."

Unexpectedly, Song Linqing waved his hand, "Okay, you are no longer the leader of my family, so don't call me Patriarch, I'm older than you, just call me Brother Song."

Saying that, Song Linqing grabbed his wrist and walked back.

"My sister has been talking about you all day. Now that you are finally here, she might be so happy to see you."

A wry smile appeared on Zhao Ya's face, but he was still dragged away.

At the same time, in the back house, Xiao Man ran into the house like a gust of wind, and shouted excitedly: "Little...Miss, come quickly!"

"What's coming?" Song Peiwan, who was embroidering in front of the window, didn't know why.

At this moment, Xiao Man finally got his breath, "Commander Zhao is back!"

"Stop making trouble, I'll be angry if you do this again." Song Peiwan thought the little maid was joking with herself, so she lowered her head and continued to embroider.

Xiao Man became anxious, "What I said is true, miss, I just saw it with my own eyes. The Patriarch is dragging Commander Zhao to our side."

Seeing that the little maid was so anxious, Song Peiwan couldn't help but believe it.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. I told you before that I'm a poor man with a noble mouth, so I'm right." Xiao Man said triumphantly.

At this moment, Song Linqing's hearty laughter was heard from outside the courtyard.

"Pei Wan, who do you see coming?"

Song Peiwan panicked all of a sudden.

She didn't expect Zhao Ya to come so fast, but it was too late to clean up at this time, so she could only ask Xiaoman in disbelief, "Is my hair messy?"

"It's not chaotic, it's beautiful."

"Where are my clothes?"

"Oh, miss, don't think about these things at this time, go and pick it up." Xiaoman said helplessly.

Song Peiwan just stood up and walked outside the door.

as predicted.

He saw his elder brother Song Linqing dragging a person into the courtyard with a smile on his face.

If it's not Zhao Ya, who else is it?

Song Peiwan's figure was trembling slightly, but she still forced herself to calm down and gave a light salute.

"I've seen Mr. Zhao... Mr. Zhao."

She really didn't know how to address Zhao Ya, so she had no choice but to call out like this in desperation.

Zhao Ya also smiled slightly, and returned a salute.

"Miss Song."

With a poof, Xiaoman couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although she quickly covered her mouth, her eyes were still full of smiles.

These two are so interesting.

One Mr. Zhao and one Miss Song.

Why does this title sound so awkward?
When she smiled, Song Peiwan's face turned red at that moment, and she couldn't help but glared at her fiercely.

Fortunately, Song Linqing made a timely rescue.

"Hurry up, tell the kitchen that there will be a big banquet tonight, and you won't return if you don't get drunk."

This dinner was extremely sumptuous, and after drinking for three rounds, Song Linqing put down his glass and asked in surprise.

"Are you going to enter Ten Thousand Beast Mountain?"

"Yes, I plan to go to Ten Thousand Beast Mountain to find something." Zhao Ya said.

"That's not easy, because the terrain in the Mountain of Thousand Beasts is very complicated. Unless they are mountain visitors who rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, otherwise, ordinary people will never want to turn out after a little depth. In addition, there are many strange beasts in the mountain, which can be described as extremely dangerous." Song Linqing frowned and said.

"I'm not afraid of alien beasts. I just need an experienced mountain guest as a guide. I wonder if Brother Song has a suitable candidate?"

With Zhao Ya's current strength, even if there are powerful beasts in the Mountain of Beasts, Zhao Ya will not be afraid at all.

It's just that Zhao Ya didn't reveal these words to Song Linqing.

"Okay, I'll find you a reliable mountain guest tomorrow, and drink now." Song Linqing immediately agreed.

This is really an easy thing for him.

After all, as Lizheng of Danfeng Town, he knows better than anyone else which of these mountain visitors are genuine talents and which are parallel importers.

So after getting drunk all night, Song Linqing went out early the next morning.

At noon, Song Linqing brought back a man in his 40s who seemed to be smart and capable at first glance.

"Here, this is the most powerful mountain guest in our Danfeng Town. His name is Ma Yufei. If you want to enter Wanshou Mountain, you must find him." Song Linqing introduced.

Ma Yufei was a little surprised.

At the beginning, when he heard Song Linqing say that he had a friend who wanted to go to the mountains to find things, he thought it was the sons of those aristocratic families who wanted to go to the mountains to play in their free time and save it as capital for bragging in the future.

He has no excuse for this.

Because this job must be very easy, but also earn a handsome commission.

But he never expected that he would meet such a young man with extraordinary temperament.

Although the specific strength cannot be seen, for a person like Ma Yufei who has been making a living on the knife's edge all year round, he can tell at a glance that Zhao Ya's strength should be quite good.

This made Ma Yufei's nerves tense all of a sudden.

Because such a young master would never go to play in the Mountain of Thousand Beasts.

So this task should be quite dangerous.

Zhao Ya also saw his nervousness, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, although the place I'm going to is quite special, it shouldn't be too dangerous."

Now that the matter has come to this, Ma Yufei is naturally too embarrassed to say anything else, so he can only bite the bullet and nod.

"May I ask first, where do you plan to go to Wanshou Mountain?"

"of course."

Zhao Ya took out the replica map prepared in advance and handed it to Ma Yufei.

Ma Yufei took it and looked at it carefully.

After a long time, he frowned, and handed the map back to Zhao Ya.

"With all due respect, I have never seen the terrain on it before. Are you sure this is the Mountain of Beasts?"

"Okay, and I'm sure this place shouldn't be too deep."

The Wanshou Mountain occupies too much land, even when Dayan was at its peak, it was impossible to describe all of it.

So Zhao Ya concluded that the location on this map should not be too deep.

"Even so, it's not easy to find it, because those who have never entered the Myriad Beast Mountain can't imagine how huge this mountain system is."

Ma Yufei shook his head, not thinking that he could find the target location by following the map.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you take me into the mountain, I will find my own way." Zhao Ya said.

"Since you insist on insisting, I have nothing to say, but there is one thing to explain in advance. It is very dangerous inside. If there is something that cannot be solved, I will escape by myself." Ma Yufei said frankly.

"Naturally, I don't expect you to help me solve the danger." Zhao Ya smiled.

For Ma Yufei's blunt confession, Zhao Ya was not angry, but rather appreciated it.

Because this is the quality that an experienced mountain traveler should have. If you slap your chest loudly before entering, and say that you can guarantee safety, it is doubtful.

"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare, and I'll leave early tomorrow morning."

After Ma Yufei responded to this incident, he turned around and went back to clean up.

Zhao Ya was not idle either, he sorted out the things around him, leaving the useless things behind, and he only carried the usual poison powder, elixir, and dried meat for supplies.

Of course, Zui'er couldn't go. Fortunately, Song Linqing and others took care of her here, so it was considered very safe.

So Zhao Ya left her behind, and followed Ma Yufei on the journey the next morning.

The way into the mountain was very smooth, and after entering inside, Zhao Ya finally understood why Ma Yufei was so cautious.

Because it is different from other mountain ranges, the mountains of the Wanshou Mountain Range are almost all steep, and the mountain roads inside are even more rugged.

Coupled with the wanton growth of strange trees and grass, if there is no guide, the average person will not be able to go far and will lose their way.

"Actually, the time you came here is not the best time to enter the mountain, because the climate is hot and humid, and the mountain is very humid, so it is easy to get foggy. That is the most dangerous time for Wanshou Mountain." Ma Yufei explained .

"Then when is the best time to enter the mountain?" Zhao Ya asked.

"It's the time when winter turns to spring, when the ice and snow melt and the vegetation just sprouts. It's the most suitable time to go into the mountains."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Ya suddenly reached out and patted Ma Yufei.

Ma Yufei was startled, and before he had time to react, he saw Zhao Ya's hand reach behind his head, and then retracted while holding a black poisonous snake with patterns all over its body.

"Just now this thing was lurking on the branch next to you and was ready to attack. I was afraid that after reminding you, you would disturb it and cause unnecessary danger, so I shot it directly." Zhao Ya laughed.

"Thank you!"

Although this poisonous snake may not be able to do anything to Ma Yufei even if it attacks, after all, a mountain visitor like him who often goes into the mountains, how can he do it without any means.

But it was a fact that Zhao Ya made a move, and Ma Yufei was naturally very grateful for it, and the little sense of being born before disappeared.

For the rest of the journey, the two cooperated with each other and went very smoothly.

And the further he walked, the more amazed and admired Ma Yufei felt.

Because Zhao Ya's understanding of the mountains and forests is not inferior to his own, and in some places it is even better.

Finally, they came to the first stop of the trip, in front of a mountain with strange rocks.
