Longevity, starting from traveling and telling stories

Chapter 86 Who dares to say that he has no regrets about the drought?

The Tiankui Mountains are huge, and the Tianji Pavilion is not far from here but not close either. Ye Beixuan ate wild fruits all the way and trekked through mountains and rivers leisurely. This reminded him of the famous geographer Xu Xiake in his previous life, and he felt that he was like him now.

Suddenly, there was a movement in the grass, and a big fat rabbit suddenly jumped out. Ye Beixuan waved his hand, and a flying knife shot out, and the rabbit fell to the ground.

"Hehehe, it's been a while since I last used my strengths." He murmured with a smile on his face, and at the same time, he stretched out his five fingers and grabbed the rabbit in his hands.

Skinning, bleeding, and removing the internal organs are all done in one go, then washed in the gurgling stream nearby, the grill is set up, and the fire is lit in one go.

In the dark night, the firelight flickered, and the trees looked like evil spirits with bared fangs and claws under the firelight. When the breeze blew, the dark shadows of the trees were like giant beasts in the dark night, ready to swallow people at any time.

Ye Beixuan didn't care at all. His hands never stopped moving. The firewood kept turning over and over, and the aroma kept coming out. The oil and water were sizzling, and the firewood made faint crackling sounds from time to time, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Beixuan suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. The bushes rustled from time to time. In the cold night, the mountain was even colder than usual. But at this moment, Ye Beixuan suddenly felt the temperature around him rise. This temperature did not come from the fire, but seemed to appear out of thin air.

Ye Beixuan had no expression on his face and did not react at all, and he did not stop roasting the rabbit in his hands.

Bang! It was like a small stone under the fire exploded, and the fragments splashed out some of the sparks in the fire.

The sparks rolled into the darkness, emitting a strange blood-red color, which was particularly conspicuous.

Beyond the firelight, the trees were shaking violently, as if a strong wind was blowing, and the temperature was getting higher and higher, even like a volcano erupting with heat waves.

Woo woo woo.
A gust of wind blew by, and suddenly the forest seemed to be still, without even the sound of insects or birds.

Suddenly, in the darkness, a figure dressed in green like Ye Beixuan slowly emerged in the firelight. Although her face could not be seen clearly due to her veil, it was still obvious that she was extremely beautiful through the veil.

Just a hint of familiarity made Ye Beixuan frown slightly, but he did not stop the movement of his hands, and looked vigilantly at the beautiful woman who suddenly appeared.

The beauty also looked at Ye Beixuan, and then her eyes were attracted by his roasted rabbit: "Your roasted rabbit is very good."

"Thank you, I think it's very good too." Ye Beixuan replied calmly.

"I haven't eaten food like this for a long time." Although her behavior and words were like those of an ordinary person, Ye Beixuan knew that this woman was unfathomable. Unlike a fake like himself, she was really strong.

Ye Beixuan frowned, feeling somewhat confused. Anyone who showed up here so late might be causing trouble. He couldn't panic and had to continue acting. Otherwise, if he messed up, his life might be in danger.

The beauty's expression did not change because of Ye Beixuan's unfriendly look, but she stared at the roasted rabbit.

"I can't remember how long it's been since I've had food, but today I feel like eating," she said with a smile.

Ye Beixuan said calmly, "How can a person go for a long time without eating?"

The beauty shook her head in denial and said, "I'm different from others. Although I ate it a long time ago, I've long forgotten the taste. But today I have the desire and urge to eat it."

【Natural】Open.

She was shocked at the same time. No wonder this human was not afraid of her. The strong-willed beauty was stunned and had some doubts in her heart. Could it be that someone who appeared here so late was here specifically to deal with me?

On the surface, it was just as the woman said. She was swallowing her saliva excitedly, and seemed to be eager to snatch it.

"This roasted rabbit is not finished yet. If you eat it now, it will ruin the taste and you will be disappointed." Ye Beixuan explained calmly.

The woman slowly twisted her slender waist and walked slowly towards the fire. The fire seemed to burn more vigorously because of her proximity.

She also followed Ye Beixuan's example and sat on the ground. Both of them were wearing green shirts, and if you didn't look carefully, you would think they were from the same place.

"It's fate that we're sitting together this late. What's your name?" the woman sat down and spoke slowly. "We're both wanderers in this world, so why should we have known each other before?" Ye Beixuan's hands continued to move, but his mind was already racing. This woman's appearance at this late hour must be something special. Could she also be a great cultivator visiting Goddess Peak? He decided to wait and see what would happen.

"You're right. We are both wanderers in this world, so why should we have known each other before we met?" The woman muttered softly, with a rare expression of appreciation, as if she was very satisfied with this sentence.

"Have you also fallen into this state like me?"

Ye Beixuan turned the roasted rabbit over and found that it was almost done. He picked up the stick and waved his sword at the same time. Half of the rabbit slowly floated towards the woman. The woman smiled slightly and reached out to catch it, not caring about the hot rabbit meat at all.

"I have indeed fallen to this point." Ye Beixuan tore off a piece of rabbit meat, slowly put it into his mouth and said, "But I am not the same as you."

"Oh? What do you mean?" The woman swallowed a mouthful of meat and said with a look of satisfaction and enjoyment.

“Everyone’s reasons for falling are different.”

"Yes!" The woman suddenly revealed a look of loss and said, "Perhaps this is why I am destined to have no friends, because you may have no regrets."

Regret? A series of scenes from his past and present lives flashed through Ye Beixuan's mind, some happy, some regretful. Then he shook his head, all of which were already in the past.

"Eight or nine out of ten things in life are not what you want to see. Who can say that they have no regrets?"

"You might as well find someone to confide in. Friends are made by sharing their hearts with each other. Having a friend is equivalent to having a kindred spirit." Looking at the lonely and desolate look of the woman, Ye Beixuan took a bite of meat and said casually.

"Yes! Who dares to say that they have no regrets?" Her tone was rare with agreement.

"I used to have friends and family." Then, with a sad look on her face, she said, "It's a pity that they later disliked and hated me."

"Why?"

"Why?" the woman sneered. "They see me as a disaster, a misfortune for them. I've also been looking for a close friend, but unfortunately, I've found nothing."

Ye Beixuan suddenly realized that such things often happen in thousands of families. Some people sacrifice their wives to make their sons happy, and some people sacrifice their eldest sons to make their youngest sons happy. Such things can be found everywhere. It seems that this woman is one of them.

Sheng Mien, fight against Mien.

After finishing the rabbit meat, Ye Beixuan pretended to be calm, patted his butt, burped, and said in a calm tone, "If you really have any wishes, then fulfill them while you are still alive. Otherwise, when you are powerless, you will regret it even if you die."

A wish? The woman fell into deep thought, and all kinds of family and friendships she had experienced as a human came to mind one after another. She thought of her father, her master, her friends, and her fellow apprentices.

He thought about how he had fought for his master and the sect, and how his divine power had been damaged. He also thought about how he had been contaminated by the devil's blood and turned into a drought demon, and was not recognized and even sealed until now.

How many years have passed? She has been sleeping for so many years that she no longer remembers. Those people must have died long ago!
The temperature around her was still very high, and the leaves of the trees seemed to be a little burnt yellow. For a moment, the small amount of rabbit meat she was holding tightly began to make a sizzling sound.

When she looked up again, Ye Beixuan had already left. She murmured, "I really should go back first!"

the other side.

Ye Beixuan, who was leaving, clutched his pounding heart. It took him a while to breathe smoothly, and he muttered, "I'm afraid this isn't a human."

If he guessed correctly, this woman was probably not a good person. Her strength had already reached the peak, and he was no match for her.

"No, I can't be lazy. I still have to run away at night. There really are ghosts in the deep mountains and old forests."
