Transcendence in an Infinite World

Bai Ye immediately gave the few taels of silver that he found from Yang Mingdong as a thank-you gift, and the few swallow-pickers took the silver and left.After Bai Ye asked about the path of the Evergreen Valley, he immediately continued to climb up the cliff with Bai Yue on his back.

Bai Ye is born with divine power, and his strength is several times stronger than that of ordinary people. In addition to practicing internal skills, although he is only five years old now, his rock climbing is much stronger than those extreme athletes in his previous life.In just an hour, Bai Ye came to the top of the cliff with Bai Yue on his back.

"Sixth brother, look, there are a lot of crooked words on that big tree." Bai Yue suddenly pointed to a big tree beside Bai Ye and said aloud.

"Let's go and have a look." Bai Ye said with a smile, and then pulled Bai Yue closer to the big tree.

"Sixth brother, what is written on it?" Bai Yue asked, he knew that his brother was very knowledgeable, and he should know these strange words.

"The divine book has gone with Xiaoyao, this valley is only the Changchun Spring," Bai Ye said, "These words are very strange, but that is roughly what they mean. It seems to say that there was originally a magical book in the Valley of Eternal Spring, which taught people how to live forever. Not old, now this divine book has been taken by a person called 'Xiaoyaozi', and there is only a spring water left in the valley that can be drunk to keep youth. Some people will pull the vines on the big pine trees and swing out of the valley, but after they come out, they can't go back. The people who come out have white faces and red lips, and they are very young and beautiful, but after living outside the valley for a few days, their black hair will turn. Snow-white, hunchbacked and wrinkled, within a few days he seemed to be a hundred years older, and in a few days he would be dead. Therefore, people outside said that there were monsters in the valley, and no one dared to enter. Those few The Yankee has a good conscience and tried his best to persuade us to turn back and not go any further."

At the same time, Bai Ye thought to himself: "This is the place mentioned in the original text of "Tianlong Babu", this Changchun Spring is really wonderful, there is such a thing in the martial arts world, this is simply fantasy; it is almost comparable to the one in "Fengyun" The fire unicorn, phoenix, and dragon!"

"Sixth brother, who is that 'Xiaoyaozi', why did he take away the divine book in the Valley of Eternal Spring?" Bai Yue asked inexplicably.

"I'm afraid it's for immortality. After all, the people in the Valley of Eternal Spring are really amazing." Bai Ye said speculatively, and then he continued, "The rumors about monsters above are pure nonsense. But Such a wonderful place, how could we not go and see it?"

"Yeah!" Bai Yue nodded obediently. He knew that Bai Ye had made up his mind, so he no longer discouraged him.

The mountains, standing in front of them, are lush and lush, and the mountains are in clusters.The drizzle evokes the clouds and mists in the mountains, and the mountain peaks are looming in the curling clouds and mists, making them even more majestic and steep, making people feel that it is mysterious and beautiful, lofty and arrogant.The mountain roads, the springs, the winding streams, the lush green leaves, flowers and plants.Unknown birds shuttled back and forth in the woods, singing loudly.Bai Ye continued to move forward along the road pointed by Caiyanke.

Although it is February, the scenery here is like spring.Halfway through, I ate some dry food under a big tree, drank some water, and then continued to walk forward.After walking forward for another two hours, Bai Ye and Bai Yue finally came to the bottom of a cliff.

This cliff is thousands of feet high, with perilous peaks standing upright, and strange rocks with phosphorus.The huge pine trees on the cliff have their roots rooted in the crevices of the cliff, twisted like a dragon pillar, spreading their branches and leaves in the air, like competing with the wind and dark clouds for the sky, and like playing with the breeze and white clouds.At the same time, countless green ivy is like a dragon, either entwined or hanging down.

"This is what those swallow pickers said." Bai Ye looked at Qingsong on the cliff and said softly, and then looked at a gap on the cliff and continued, "In that gap is the eternal spring. Valley!"

"It should be there." Bai Yue replied, "Cliffs, green pines, rifts... everything here is exactly what those people said, and we are looking for them according to the direction they instructed, so there should be no mistake. ." The ancients with tutors themselves matured earlier than modern people, and after so many things, today's Bai Yue has gradually matured.

"Xiaoyue, come on my back, hold me tight!" Bai Ye said, then he carried Baiyue on his back and climbed straight to the cliff.The gap in this cliff is not high, and soon, Bai Ye and Bai Yue climbed to the entrance of the Everlasting Valley.At this moment, a fairyland-like world of Peach Blossom Spring came into view of the two of them.

Body 13 Volume [-] Changchun Spring

"It's so beautiful!" At first sight of the scenery in the valley, Bai Ye and Bai Yue were amazed.

Looking into the valley from the crevice of the cliff, I saw a lush mountain forest, a small river traversing the entire valley.At the same time, there are some huts scattered among the mountains and forests, and wisps of cooking smoke rise from the roofs of these huts.This scenery, combined with the sunset, is like a fairyland on earth.

"Let's go there, I hope the people in the Valley of Ageless Eternal Spring don't hate outsiders." Bai Ye said.

"Well!" Bai Yue nodded, and then said, "Sixth brother, should we stay here for a while to avoid the war outside. After a few months, the outside will completely forget us before going out."

After hearing Bai Yue's words, Bai Ye thought about it and said, "Don't rush to make a decision. I have to study the Evergreen Spring here. If you can't go out after drinking the spring water for a while, it's better for us to leave here as soon as possible. Otherwise, wouldn't it be the same as going to jail if you stay here forever?"

Bai Yue nodded, and then said, "That's true. It's up to you, Brother Six." Then Bai Ye and Bai Yue slowly walked into the Evergreen Valley.

Walking into this eternal spring valley, but seeing the peaks on both sides, looking up at the sky, there is only one line left.The mountains are green and the water is clear, the scenery is extremely quiet, the birds and flowers are fragrant all around, and there is infinite vitality.After walking three or four miles forward, suddenly there were several large rocks standing in front of them, like a screen, blocking the way.There is a slight gap between the boulders, allowing one person to walk through.

Bai Ye and Bai Yue passed through the boulder one after another, and behind the boulder was a small mountain.It was night now, and after a short walk, when I arrived at a flat place on the top of the mountain, I saw a huge fire blazing vigorously. Dozens of young girls sang and danced, while others sat around and admired, and behind the fire were stone houses.

With the appearance of Bai Ye and Bai Yue, everyone stopped and looked at them vigilantly.

"Look at these clothes, they should be Naxi people." Bai Ye carefully observed the clothes on these people, and then said softly to Bai Yue.

After seeing the expressions of those people, Bai Ye immediately stepped forward and said to them in Naxi language: "Hello, we came here by accident and hope to stay here for a few nights." Bai Ye is not very proficient in Naxi, so This sentence is very strange.Fortunately, they didn't care that much, and one of them replied, "We have to ask our 'instructor' for this."

Many Naxi people believe in Dongba religion.Every village has a "teacher", sometimes called Dongba.Dongba, which means wise man, is the organizer and host of religious activities, and because they master Dongba language, can write and recite sutras, dance, paint, and sculpt, and understand astronomy, geography, and calendar, they become Naxi people. important inheritor of ancient culture.

Soon, a young man led the way and came to the "teacher".This is a man with black hair and red face. Standing in front of him, you can feel that this person should be quite old, but judging from his appearance, this person is like a teenager.

"I'm afraid this is the effect of Chang Qingquan. But no matter how young a person looks, his heart is old, and this kind of temperament can't be changed." Bai Ye thought to himself, but he quickly pressed it down. In his inner thoughts, he bowed to the man, and Bai Yue, who was beside him, did the same. This ceremony is the etiquette of the Han people.

"Children, how did you come here?" the man asked with a smile.

"The Naxi people attach great importance to credit and loyalty, and generally do not care about the mistakes of the guests because they do not understand the customs and etiquette of the Naxi people, but they value equality and credit, so it is best to directly explain what requirements you have when interacting with the Naxi people, and do not deceive Coaxing." Bai Ye recalled the description of the Naxi people in the next book, and immediately decided to honestly tell the "young man" before him.

Since Bai Ye was not proficient in Naxi, this explanation took half an hour, and he continued to gesture with his hands while speaking.With the communication between the two, Bai Ye also understood that at this moment these people are holding the "Sanduo Festival" unique to the Naxi people.The "young man" in front of him is named Ninan, who is [-] years old this year, and Bai Ye III is not half his age combined.

In fact, Ninan is not his name, but his family name.In ancient times, the Naxi people had no surnames, only family names. The earliest family names were named after the clan name or clan totem.Later, as the role of the clan declined and the role of the family increased, some families took the name of a female or male ancestor as the family name.

"You mean you want to see our Changchun Spring?" Ninan asked.

"Yes, I originally wanted to see your divine book, but I heard that this book was taken away by a man named 'Xiaoyaozi', so I put out this thought." Bai Ye said honestly.Bai Ye has learned a lot of Naxi that he has never seen before in the previous communication with Ninan

"Our Changchun Spring is not a secret. There are many people out there who know it." Ninan said with a smile, "Our Changchun Spring in Changchun Valley does have the effect of preserving youth. I am one hundred and nine years old now, but It still looks similar to a young man in his twenties, and that's why. But the spring water of Changchun Spring is only useful to us, and to you outsiders, I am afraid it will not have much effect. "

"Why?" Bai Ye asked in confusion.In his opinion, it is impossible for something like spring water to be effective only for some people, and then ineffective for others; just like eating, can it be that the Han people can fill their stomachs when they eat, but the Khitan people can’t eat?

"Actually, this question is very simple." Ninan smiled, and then explained, "In the past, there were outsiders who came to us to drink the spring water of Changchun Spring, but it really didn't work. Later, that person and our ancestors studied it. I finally found the secret behind it.”

"What's the mystery?" Bai Ye's interest was also raised, and he immediately asked aloud.

Looking at Bai Ye's appearance, Ninan laughed and continued: "After the research of our ancestors and that person, we found that only by living here since childhood and drinking the spring water here, the effect of Changchun Spring can be manifested. It is impossible for people outside to achieve the effect we have; unless that person is also sent here since childhood. Just like the two of you, if you want to stay young, you must stay here for at least fifty More than a year. But if you really want to stay here for fifty years, then you won't be able to get out."

"Why can't you go out?" Bai Ye asked suspiciously, "People from the Nu people outside the valley told us that after you people from Changchun Valley go out, their hair will be gray and their teeth will fall out in just three days. He looks like a drooping old man."

"That's not entirely true," Ninan said, shaking his head. "It's not particularly serious for young people to go out, but it will slightly break some of the spring's effects; but when older people go out, it's gone. This is the reason. Well, firstly, we people here drink the spring water of Changchun Spring since we were young, which makes our body extremely pure and cannot tolerate any pollution, so once we leave the Valley of Eternal Spring, such a tragedy will happen; secondly, when we are older, Although people are young in appearance, their qi and blood are far less vigorous than those of young people, so the damage will be much greater after going out."

Hearing this, Bai Ye suddenly realized: "So it is. Just like water, the people in the Valley of Eternal Spring are like pure water, and the water outside is polluted water, so the people here can stay young, outside people can't."

"If people in the Valley of Everlasting Spring go out, they will soon be polluted by the outside world. The purer the place they live in, the lower their resistance to pollution will be. This also causes the people in the Valley of Everlasting Spring to be polluted. Once you leave the Valley of Eternal Spring, it is very easy to break the effect of Eternal Spring and start aging.”

"And if people from the outside world come to the Valley of Eternal Spring, no matter how they drink the spring water of Changchun Spring, they will not become pure bodies, at most they can only approach, and it will take a lot of time. However, with their bodies Getting closer and closer to the locals of the Evergreen Valley, their body's resistance to the outside world is also declining. Although they are still much stronger than the locals in the valley, they are much worse than those who have been living in the outside world. "

Bai Ye and Ni Nan continued to chat casually. From Ni Nan, Bai Ye also learned that the average life expectancy of those who live in the Valley of Eternal Spring has reached an astonishing [-] years old.When Bai Ye translated these things to Bai Yue, Bai Yue also thought it was incredible.

At this time, a Naxi man took a cup and handed it to Bai Ye and Bai Yue.This is a cup made of two bamboo joints, and the cup is filled with spring water.

"This is the spring water of the Everlasting Spring." Ninan said with a smile, "You can drink a little and try it. It should be a little different from the water you drink outside."
