Zuo Feng raised his head and looked into the distance following Su Yan and Hu Hu's gaze. He was extremely surprised by the bare mountain. This mountain stood abruptly on the horizon not far away like an extra-large tower, like a mountain. It's like a stone pillar holding up the sky.
"This hilltop is really weird. I have seen all kinds of strange and weird hills in my life. This is the first time I have encountered such a weird one." Zuo Feng sighed and shook his head and muttered to himself. At the same time, he was also amazed by the miraculous craftsmanship of nature. Amazed.
Seeing Zuo Feng's appearance, Su Yan and Amber looked at each other, and then both smiled. Zuo Feng noticed the two people's appearance, and naturally cast a questioning look.
These days of getting along have made him very familiar with Amber. Amber showed his white teeth and said with a smile: "Brother Shen doesn't know something. The mountain you see in front of you has a lot of background, because it is the elixir mountain range." The last tail at the southern end. I heard that this mountain was covered with elixirs thousands of years ago, and there were monsters living on it.
But later, a large group of human warriors gathered to hunt down all the magical beasts here, and then picked up all the elixirs on the mountain."
Speaking of this, Amber couldn't help but turn her eyes to the mountains in the distance again, as if she was imagining the fierce battle between strong humans and monsters.
Lifting the hat on his head, Zuo Feng looked at the bare mountain top and said, "Is it because the mountains were emptied of all the elixirs that they are now bare?"
After listening to Zuo Feng's question, Amber showed a surprised expression at first, and then said with a wry smile: "How is it possible that the mountains are covered with elixirs? There were originally many trees and flowers. But because this is a branch of the elixir mountain range, The spiritual energy in the mountains is very abundant, so those trees, flowers and plants were eventually taken back and eaten by ordinary people in various ways."
Before Amber could finish speaking, Zuo Feng opened his mouth in shock and said with a look of disbelief: "Ordinary trees, flowers and plants were all mined, and they were all eaten. I didn't listen. That’s wrong.”
Originally there was a smile on Amber's face, but when Zuo Feng asked, the expressions on their faces became complicated. Looking at the bare mountains in the distance, he said slowly: "Actually, there are many poor people in this world. , those who are unable to practice due to physical limitations, and ordinary people who have little money and background, it is also difficult for them to practice body refining.
You should also know that people who are unable to cultivate generally only have a life span of sixty or seventy years. Even those with relatively good health will hardly reach eighty years old or above. However, once cultivation reaches the advanced stage of physical strength, one can live to be over a hundred years old. It’s not a problem at all, and if you reach the bone refining stage, you can have a lifespan of more than 150 years.”
Listening to Amber's introduction, Zuo Feng couldn't help but nodded, because he knew it clearly before. When he was a child, he also dreamed of working hard to reach the top level of cultivation in order to gain eternal life. But later Teng Xiao Yun told him that even if his cultivation reaches the realm of refining the gods, a warrior will still die one day, and after that, he will lose his original enthusiasm for the pursuit of eternal life.
After a pause, Amber coughed in embarrassment and continued: "Ahem, that's a bit far-fetched. In fact, being able to live for a long time mainly depends on how much spiritual energy the body absorbs. This mountain top is the remaining vein of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain Range. The spiritual energy contained in it is very rich, even ordinary flowers, plants and trees also contain rich spiritual energy.
For ordinary people, eating it may not have much effect, but it can still extend life. If stones could be eaten, I guess this entire mountain would be gone by now."
Listening to Amber's narration, he seemed to be in a bad mood. Zuo Feng subconsciously asked: "Brother Amber seems to be very emotional about this. Does this have something to do with your past? Remember I asked you last time
When you were there, you said you would tell me if you had a chance, whether now is a good opportunity."
Amber turned her head and glanced at Zuo Feng, who was smiling but not smiling. After a moment of hesitation, she looked at Su Yan beside her. She had kept her head down since the two of them were talking, as if she was thinking about her own thoughts.
At this time, Suyan stood up fiercely and said coldly: "There is a small town at the foot of the mountain ahead. I will go there to take a look. Just wait for me when your ship gets there."
After saying that, Suyan stood up, drew a graceful arc and landed on the shore. Then he spread out his body and quickly headed towards the bare hill.
"This girl is quite attentive!"
Looking at Su Yan's leaving figure, Zuo Feng said to Amber with a hint of joking. Amber nodded seriously and said: "She is indeed a good girl, but I don't know why, I always feel bad for her.
I have a grudge, so I think it’s better to keep some distance from her as much as possible. Maybe it’s my personal problem, Brother Shen, please don’t take it personally.”
Zuo Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "I also feel a little weird about this girl. Why don't you tell Kang Zhen these things?"
Amber smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "The so-called lack of intimacy, this girl is the eldest young master's sister-in-law. I am at best a servant, and at most I am just a servant that the young master trusts. So if there is any, it is not like us.
What people should say is not something I can say."
Looking at Amber's complicated eyes, Zuo Feng felt that Amber was not simple. He could know that there was something wrong with the plain makeup, but he could still judge it based on various subtle clues, but Amber had no basis, but he could feel this.
There is something wrong with being simple and elegant, and he is really not a simple character.
Just as Zuo Feng was thinking, Amber had already spoken and said slowly: "My family was originally very large, but I don't know how many generations ago it was massacred by several enemies. Although a small part of them escaped, in order to avoid
The enemy is hiding in fear all day long.
Until one day we were rescued by the then head of the Kang family and his people, and then he adopted us as the foreign branch of the Kang family. Although from then on we no longer had to worry about being chased by our enemies, the rest of us also lived a happy life.
The days of living under someone else’s roof.
The best talents of each generation in the family will be selected by the Kang family and enter the Kang family to receive specialized training. Those with slightly better talents will become the close bodyguards of the family head like me, while those with poor talents will be sent to the spiritual family.
Go to the Medicine Mountains to collect medicine for your family."
Speaking of this, Amber's face showed a complicated look. Zuo Feng didn't say anything. This is the price of survival. This is the only way for people like them to survive. Just like Amber said, the family can be continued, but
These people must become weapons in the hands of others.
After a pause, Amber continued: "I'm not complaining, nor am I grumbling. A family like ours should not have existed in the world for a long time. It is only because of the Kang family that it can continue. And as long as I can be among the many masters,
If we stand out among the brothers and can make great contributions to the family, we will one day break away from the Kang family and establish our own family. The most important thing is that everyone hopes that their descendants can one day re-exist in the world instead of being retainers of a certain family.
"
Looking at Amber talking, her face was filled with excitement, as if she saw that she could make great contributions to the family, and specially allowed their family to become independent. But Zuo Feng also knew that he could make great contributions to the family. Wherever it is so easy, it almost always requires a life-and-death effort.
Amber suddenly retracted his gaze from the distance, turned to Zuo Feng and said, "Brother Shen, I haven't asked you about your life experience, and I think you seem to be a little mysterious in everything."
Zuo Feng hesitated for a moment. In the past few days, he had seen that Amber was a little curious about his life experience, but every time he wanted to ask, Zuo Feng would make excuses and leave to prevent the other party from having a chance to speak. But this time Amber was I found a good time to ask, and it was when they were alone and not on the boat.
Zuo Feng sighed softly, and then said slowly: "Actually, my name is not Shen Feng, my surname is Zuo, and I am Zuo Feng from Yancheng of Ye Lin Empire."
"Zuo Feng, Zuo,?"
Amber muttered silently, and suddenly Amber's eyes lit up, and he said in shock: "You are the young man who massacred the entire Commander's Mansion in Yancheng, my God, why is it you! "
Zuo Feng heard that the other party had many meanings in the words "Why is it you?" It was not only about how the legendary person could be the person in front of him, but also about whether those terrible achievements were really your fault. ?
Zuo Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "What you heard is all false news from the Yelin Empire. Although I made a big fuss in Yancheng, Commander Zhang Yu was executed by the Yelin Empire's Elder Council, and I really don’t have much to do with it.”
Amber nodded lightly. Fortunately, the news was too exaggerated. Every time Zuo Feng explained it to others, everyone would look like they should be.
Seeing Amber's eyes shining, obviously still very interested, Zuo Feng could only sigh helplessly and continue to talk. From the time when their Zuojia Village was assassinated by bandits, to what happened after they arrived in Yancheng, Zuo Feng could not help but sigh. Feng picked and told part of it to the other party.
Amber was very excited when he heard it. When Zuo Feng finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, I really envy Brother Zuo Feng. Being able to walk on the continent and experience all kinds of adventures makes it worthwhile for me to come to this world." ah."
It can be heard that the other party is very envious of his freedom and does not have to follow other people's orders in everything. Zuo Feng smiled slightly and said: "Brother Hu Bo, please remember that my name is Shen Feng. Don't say that in front of that girl for a while." I let it slip."
Amber was about to nod when she heard Zuo Feng's voice coming again, "You can't talk to people during the day, and you can't talk to ghosts at night. Just as I was talking about her, this girl appeared. Generally, she should stay for a long time wherever she goes. The time is right.”
Following Zuo Feng's gaze towards the shore, Amber saw Su Yan running towards this side quickly.
