There is no day and night in the traditional sense, and the color of the world seems to always be a mass of gray.
Looking around, many places are an empty and silent world. Except for the tombs, there are not even a tree.
Everyone found a sheltered hillside to rest and camp.
A huge iron pot stood on the campfire.
This pot was specially customized by Gao Zhuo. It is one meter deep and two meters wide.
At this moment, the pot was bubbling, and the white and crystal-clear rice porridge gradually overflowed with golden rice oil, covering the soup with a thick layer, making people salivate.
"It smells so good. It is worthy of being eaten by dragons."
Gu Xibai lay down in front of the iron pot and took a sip. She felt the aroma was fragrant and her stomach was growling.
After Gao Zhuo stirred it for a few times, he felt it was almost done and hurriedly took out a bowl and sent it to Xu Tong.
At this moment, Xu Tong looked pale, lying on the straw mat, looking like he was about to be squeezed dry.
Don't get me wrong, the blood is about to be drained.
When Gao Zhuo brought the bowl, Xu Tong held the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. He didn't taste anything, but after drinking it, he felt warm all over and his face gradually turned rosy.
I couldn't help but be secretly surprised. This dragon rice was indeed the ration of the Immortal family, and it turned out to be such a great tonic after eating it.
He quickly ordered Gao Zhuo to have two more bowls.
This time Xu Tong tasted it carefully and intuitively realized that the taste of dragon rice was sweet and delicious. It did not require any side dishes, which made people appetite.
After drinking it into the stomach, it completely turned into a faint aroma that nourished the stomach and intestines and relieved the fatigue of the stomach and intestines. After eating it, there was no need to digest it at all, and it turned into the purest vitality, blood and bone marrow.
They merge with each other and slowly improve people's physique.
Xu Tong quickly asked everyone to taste it.
Gu Xibai couldn't wait for a long time, so she started eating with her bowl in hand. As a result, she was sweating profusely after finishing the meal.
He couldn't help but start practicing boxing.
Soon, his body was like a red-hot iron furnace, the sweat beads on his body turned into steam, and every inch of his muscles seemed to have been tortured and became more refined.
After Gao Zhuo and Chang Wuju ate it, they started to have stomach upsets, and they hurriedly ran to a very far place for convenience.
Accompanied by the roar of the Yangtze River, it took ten minutes for the two of them to return.
However, the two of them were in excellent condition, and their bodies felt extremely light, as if all the impurities had been expelled from their bodies.
This dragon rice is indeed extraordinary, not a human ration. Even the eldest princess who does not eat grains rarely drank two bowls of it.
The fool even held a bowl and ate everything.
"What a good thing. Rumor has it that this dragon rice is watered with thunder from the sky and uses fairy fruits as fertilizer. If you eat it regularly, you will definitely have a great breakthrough in your physical body within a few months."
The old Taoist tasted a bowl and stopped eating. Instead, he introduced the various wonderful uses of this dragon rice to everyone.
After hearing what the old man said, Xu Tong instantly felt that he was at a loss. If he had known that this dragon rice was a real treasure, he should have bought more of it.
However, he has a lot of dragon rice in his hands, and if he eats this dragon rice, even Xu Tong and the others will not need to eat for at least three or four days.
It’s not that the dragon rice makes your belly bloated, but that it provides an almost endless supply of energy, so people won’t feel hungry.
With such a big pot of dragon rice, Xu Tong couldn't eat it anymore after eating five or six bowls.
As for Gao Zhuo and the others, they couldn't eat any more after finishing two bowls.
On the contrary, he was a fool and actually ate ten bowls by himself. Xu Tong couldn't help but be impressed.
Even so, they couldn't finish the dragon rice porridge in the big iron pot, so Xu Tong simply let the Yin soldiers eat one bowl each.
Although Yin soldiers don't need to eat, eating this dragon rice will be of great benefit to them.
A bowl of dragon rice enters the mouth, and these Yin soldiers are a little less Yin Qi, but they are more solid.
At this glance, I even thought they were alive.
Seeing this, the old Taoist pinched his beard and reminded Xu Tong that if conditions permit, he can often feed these Yin soldiers dragon rice.
I couldn't say that I could give him a surprise in the future. As for what the surprise was, the old man kept it secret and refused to say more.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, they rested in place for about two or three hours before continuing on their journey.
But this time, Xu Tong refused to ride in the carriage and sat on the shaft of the carriage with Lao Dao.
In the carriage, the fool and the eldest princess seemed to get along very well. The fool tried his best to make the eldest princess happy, and he could hear the eldest princess' laughter from time to time.
“Is that Youshan??”
At this time, Xu Tong suddenly saw a huge shadow in the distance. He looked with his spiritual eyes and could see a huge mountain, sitting in this land like an ancient giant beast.
When Xu Tong looked up the mountain, he found that he could not see the end of the mountain with his own eyesight.
It was as if there was some mysterious force blocking his peek.
"Youshan!"
Everyone raised their heads one after another, and they were all shocked by this huge mountain. It is said that on the top of this mountain is the forbidden palace of the prince.
But even the Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions would not dare to get involved without special circumstances.
Their motorcade slowly passed down Youshan Mountain, and Xu Tong saw many villages appearing at the foot of Youshan Mountain.
There are many "human" activities in these villages.
Although the level of prosperity was not as good as that of Wusheng City, it was still many times more prosperous than the Zhujia Village he had seen before.
Unfortunately, Xu Tong and the others now need to rush to the Forest of No Return and have no time to wander under the secluded mountain. They can only wait to receive the Western envoy before turning back.
"Head, this time the script is over, I plan to take a long vacation to go back and read it!"
Gao Zhuo rode up to Xu Tong and said.
He had been out for long enough this time, and he couldn't help but start to miss his wife and father.
So I don’t plan to follow Xu Tong back to Luoyang.
"It should."
Xu Tong understood this. After all, Gao Zhuo was still in the wedding period. He had been running away with him for so long, and he would not go back without going back.
Besides, when I returned to Luoyang, I wanted to celebrate the old man's birthday on the one hand, and on the other hand I wanted to know more about my life experience.
So there is no need to carry everyone around.
Thinking of this, he looked at Gu Xibai aside: "What about you??"
"I, it doesn't matter to me. If you want me to follow you, if you don't want to, I will go to the training ground."
Gu Xibai is purely a martial arts fanatic. She spends most of her time in the training ground and crazily challenges her limits.
So I don’t have any special plans for the future.
A group of people chatted and chatted, but the journey was not boring. I don’t know how long they walked until they could no longer see the shadow of Youshan behind them, and they finally reached the Forest of No Return.
"Ahead, the river...be careful, don't look down!"
At this time, the fool got out of the car, pulled Xu Tong's arm, and pointed to the bridge in front of him.
As soon as the fool said this, even the old Taoist frowned: "It's Santu River!"
The so-called Santu River is also what people often call the Wangchuan River.
It is as famous as the Yellow Spring and the Sea of Blood. It is one of the three major rivers in the underworld. What is interesting is that the Yellow Spring and the Santu River will meet at the Reincarnation Platform.
Different from the Yellow Spring, this river is not a good river. It is said that it can reflect the cause and effect of a person's three lives. Once the spirit is lost in it, it will be pulled in by the river and will never be reincarnated.
Hearing what the old Taoist said so powerfully, Xu Tong couldn't help but feel nervous, and immediately told Gao Zhuo and the others not to look at the river.
Then I squinted from a distance and saw that the river water was blood-yellow, filled with lonely ghosts who could not be reincarnated. It was full of insects and snakes, and the fishy wind blew in my face. Before I even got close, I could hear countless wailing sounds in my ears.
Voice.
With the fool's reminder and the experienced explanation, everyone was cautious when crossing the river.
Even Chang Wuju dared not be careless. He looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. He only dared to look far away and did not dare to look directly into the river.
If there are no accidents, there will definitely be accidents.
Xu Tong and his group were cautiously about to cross the bridge when suddenly, a baby crying was heard behind Xu Tong.
Amidst the crying, there was a faint voice of a woman: "Tongtong, don't cry, mother hugs..."
Hearing the sound, Xu Tong looked back almost subconsciously, but he remembered Lao Dao's words in his heart and did not dare to look directly at the water.
But when he turned around, he saw the back of a woman holding a baby standing and rocking on the water.
"That is……"
The woman has long black hair, but she is wearing a nurse's clothes. She holds the baby in her arms high: "Tongtong, Tongtong, Xu Tong!"
The moment he heard the woman calling out his name softly, Xu Tongtong tightened his grip and unconsciously wanted to move forward to see the woman's appearance clearly.
"You brat, you're crazy!!"
The old Taoist sitting aside noticed that something was wrong with Xu Tong's expression. Before he could ask, he saw that Xu Tong had jumped off the carriage and walked straight to the water.
Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Gao Zhuo was about to rush forward with a quick step, but was pushed away by Xu Tong: "Don't come here!! I'm not lost!!"
Xu Tong's voice shocked everyone, but they saw him walking to the river step by step, staring at the river in front of him.
Some people have had their memories erased, and even the mirror in heaven cannot reflect the information about their parents.
But as long as a person exists, he must leave a trace behind, just like the River of Forgetfulness, which can reflect three lives, and perhaps reveal information about one's own parents.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong became bolder and stared into the river.
The river rippled with layers of ripples, and with each layer of ripples spreading out, many memories of his childhood appeared in Xu Tong's sight.
These memories make Xu Tong feel strange, but he is certain that these are the scenes he saw when he was a child.
He anxiously searched for information about his parents in the picture, but he didn't know whether it was a coincidence or blocked by some strange force. Every time, his line of sight was perfectly misaligned with the figures of his parents.
Just when Xu Tong was feeling anxious about this, suddenly, a golden light emerged from Xu Tong's eyes, and he stared intently at a fragment of memory in the river.
In this memory, I was lifted high and my eyes happened to look at the mirror beside me.
From the figure reflected in the mirror, Xu Tong saw the side face of a daughter, with slender eyebrows, big eyes, and a high bridge of nose. She had the softness of a southern woman, but there was a sharp feeling in the corners of her eyes.
"Is this what my mother looks like??" He stared at the woman's side face in confusion.
Suddenly, the woman in the mirror seemed to be feeling something and turned her head, looking at Xu Tong, her mouth slightly opened, as if she was saying something.
Xu Tong was startled, and followed the woman's lips and silently recited four words in his heart: "Xiao, Xin, Old A (sigh)..."
