But Chen Su was determined to save his father. Since Qin Zhong said that there might be a way to save him in the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death, he was determined to give it a try no matter how difficult it was. Yunrou was a woman, and Min'er was young.
Naturally, it cannot be separated from the body, and Chen Yuanhua is so injured that he needs someone to take care of him. After several discussions, Chen Su was very insistent, so he repeatedly asked Qin Zhong about the location of the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death, drew a rough map, made some arrangements, and got up to set off.
.
According to Qin Zhong, the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death is located in the hinterland of Pingya, at the top of Qingyuan Mountain’s prayer peak. Qingyuan Mountain is just over two days’ journey from Jiuli Town, which is not too far. Yunrou hired a carriage to take Chen Su
, and rushed to Qingyuan Mountain in a dusty journey. Chen Su was anxious to get on the road, and kept urging him, working day and night. Lu Liang, who was in the handlebar position, always respected Chen Yuanhua as a person, and he did his best.
After a day and night, Chen Su and Chen Su had entered the border of Qingyuan. Before the morning dew had dried, a small town shop came into view. There were about a hundred households in the town, backed by mountains, scattered and scattered, with red flowers.
Green willows are dotted among them.
Lu Liang slowed down slightly and said, "Mr. Chen, Qingyuan Mountain should be in front of you. There is a town store there. We might as well go over and ask someone. Maybe someone knows the location of the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death."
Chen Su leaned forward and looked forward, and there was indeed a small town not far ahead.
"It's been a hard work, Uncle Lu, along the way. I'll go and ask after we continue our journey."
"Okay, sir, we haven't stopped all the way. We are tired and tired, so we will stop by for a bowl of water." Lu Liang whipped his horse whip, crackling, and the three white horses raised their heads and neighed, carrying all the smoke and dust, and rushed to the small town ahead.
.
Not long after they entered the town, Chen Su jumped down from the carriage, and Lu Liang led the horse behind him. At the entrance of the town was a hotel with a three-story attic. There was a red lacquered wooden sign hanging on the door beam, which read "Four Numbers".
The big name is Qingyuan Old Store.
"Uncle Lu, why don't we just rest here."
"Everything will follow the master's orders."
The waiter at the door of the store was removing the door panel. When he saw a customer coming to the door early in the morning, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Please come in, are you two working in the restaurant or staying in the hotel?"
Chen Su went out for the first time and didn't know how to respond to the younger brother's words, so she had to smile at him.
Lu Liang traveled all over the country and gained quite a bit of knowledge. It would be a good idea to stop here and ask for directions.
"Boy, take our horse to the backyard and feed it some good food. Our young master will have some questions to ask you later, so of course your money will be indispensable."
"Okay!" As he spoke, the waiter took the reins and led the carriage towards the backyard.
Chen Su looked at Lu Liang embarrassedly, "Uncle Lu, what kind of young master am I? You can just scream when there are no outsiders."
Lu Liang laughed and said, "You are Boss Chen's son, so calling him a son is not too much."
"Uncle, you should call me Chen Su, I'm not used to it." Chen Su was a little embarrassed.
"That's fine, Lao Lu listens to Mr. Chen."
Chen Su and Chen Su walked into the Qingyuan store while chatting, and found a seat by the window to sit down. Someone came and served tea.
"Uncle Lu, I don't think we should stay in the hotel. Let's find someone to ask for directions and then set off. My father was seriously injured, and I still can't let go of it." Chen Su was so worried that he couldn't sit still.
?I just wish I could fly to the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death.
"Mr. Chen Su, I know you are impatient, but you can cut firewood with ease. Look at the mountain in front of you, which towers into the clouds and has several peaks. We don't even know which one is the Qing Nian Peak. Moreover, the mountain is steep.
I'm afraid that before long, the carriage won't be able to get up, and even the horses won't be able to get on, so we'll have to rely on human power to climb. If you haven't eaten much all day and night, you won't have the strength to climb the mountain. What if you are there?
Where is your strength weak? Who is Boss Chen waiting for to rescue you?"
"This..." Chen Su sighed, knowing that what the other party said was right, but at this time, he was upset and had no appetite. He was so anxious that it was difficult to relax.
The waiter went to the backyard to place the horses, and soon returned to the front store.
"I wonder what you two would like?"
Lao Lu glanced at it and did not answer directly, "Are you two guys the only ones in the store?"
"That's not true. It's just that you two came early. Usually there are no guests at this time, so there is only the younger one in front. The one who just served tea is the new one the day before yesterday, so he can't be counted as a waiter."
The waiter seemed smart and smart, "Oh, that's right, we want to ask you something." Seeing that the waiter was quite talkative, Lao Lu thought that maybe he could ask him.
The waiter smiled and said, "That's okay, but you two should order your food first. I'll prepare it later, and then I'll talk to you in detail."
Chen Su nodded, "Uncle Lu, what he said makes sense."
Lao Lu smiled. It seemed that Chen Su listened to his advice and ordered a few side dishes at will. Chen Su didn't have any objections and asked the waiter to prepare them.
Lao Lu looked at Chen Su and said, "Mr. Chen Su, Mrs. Luo (Yunrou) is very careful. I think she must have prepared water and dry food for the young man."
Chen Su nodded, wondering why Lu Liang asked this.
"Then why did the young master enter this Qingyuan store again?"
"I didn't see any pedestrians outside so early in the morning, so I had to come here to ask for some news. Why would Uncle Lu ask about this?"
"Young Master, please forgive Lao Lu for relying on his old age to say something ugly. I'm afraid Boss Chen's injury is not serious." Lao Lu said while looking at Chen Su, "And Master, what if I can't get the magic elixir this time?"
Chen Su frowned, "Uncle, how can you say that? I came here this time to ask for good medicine to save my father no matter what."
"Even if I get it, what if the magic elixir doesn't work?"
"Uncle, what exactly do you want to say?" Chen Su couldn't help but feel a little unhappy after listening to Lu Liang's words. Is he so unwilling to save his father?
"Young Master!" Lu Liang paused, "We have benefited from Boss Chen a lot over the years. If it weren't for Boss Chen, many of our fellow villagers might have lost their families. I naturally hope that Boss Chen can get better, but it's just in case.
If God fails to fulfill one's wish, has Master ever thought about what will happen in the future?"
"No, I will definitely save my father." Chen Su picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, looking into the distance outside the window, "I will definitely do it!"
"But……"
"It's nothing." Chen Su placed the tea cup heavily on the table.
"The food is here."
While he was talking, the child ran up quickly, holding a tea tray in his hand.
Interrupted by the waiter, Lu Liang sighed softly and stopped talking.
"Little brother, let me ask you, is that Qingyuan Mountain in front of you?" Chen Su looked at the busy boy and asked.
"Yes, this is right at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain. Our place is called Qingyuan Town, also called Qingyuankou. It means that if you want to enter Qingyuan Mountain, you must pass through this road. The other three sides are all cliffs." Waiter.
Putting down the food, he replied with a smile, "You two, please use it slowly."
"Then I would like to ask the second brother, which prayer peak is this?" Chen Su continued to ask.
"Qing Nian Peak?" The waiter hesitated for a moment, "I wonder what you two are doing looking for this Qing Nian Peak?"
"I heard that there is a magical medicine at Qing Nian Peak. My father is seriously injured, so I came here to ask for it."
"Oh, Qing Nian Peak? Qing Nian..." the waiter muttered, then shook his head after a moment, "It seems that I have never heard of it."
Chen Su couldn't help but feel sad. Qin Zhong said clearly that Qing Nian Peak is in Qingyuan Mountain. How come it is at the foot of the mountain that no one here has heard of it? "Then do you know about the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death?"
"The Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death?" The waiter quickly shook his head, "I've never heard of it either."
Chen Su felt like someone had poured cold water on her head. She suddenly lost her mind and said to herself, "Is it possible that Doctor Qin is making up a story to coax me because he can't save his father?"
"Doctor Qin is over seventy years old and is well-known in the countryside. If he doesn't have some clues, how can he talk nonsense? Master, I think this waiter is not very old. Maybe he doesn't know. We might as well ask others." Lu Liang
Seeing that this was a big blow to Chen Su, he had no choice but to offer some words of persuasion.
"Humph" the waiter snorted coldly, "I have grown up in Qingyuan Town since I was a child. In the past 20 years, I have been up and down Qingyuan Mountain no less than a hundred times. If there is a praying peak, I will
have no idea?"
Chen Su took out the hand-drawn map from his arms. Although Qin Zhong was not very clear at that time, he still had a rough route. Now he took it out, looked at it again, and pointed to a place with his finger, "Brother, please be careful.
Look here."
"No, no," the waiter didn't even look at it, and quickly waved his hands to deny, "I said no, it means no!"
Cough, a slight cough came from the back room, and then a slightly fat middle-aged man walked out through the curtain, "Xiao Wuzi, why are you making such a noise so early in the morning? Aren't you afraid of disturbing the guests?"
When the waiter saw the middle-aged man who came out, he shrank his head in fear, "Go back to the shopkeeper, these two are looking for Qi..."
"Ahem." The middle-aged man glared at the waiter, "I think you've done enough to make the guests unhappy so early in the morning. Why don't you go to the accounting office to pay your wages later and find another job?"
"Shopkeeper, I don't dare anymore." As he said that, the waiter quickly lowered his head and ran into the back hall.
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Su. He was an ignorant boy. His clothes were not luxurious, and could even be said to be a bit shabby. The man opposite him had a riding crop in his waist and looked like a coachman. He hesitated for a moment, but came over with a smile on his face.
At the table of two people, "Two guests, the young man is not sensible, so don't argue with him. I am the shopkeeper of this Qingyuan restaurant, Zhu Mo. If you two are willing to honor me, I will treat you to this meal."
Chen Su looked at the shopkeeper and saw that he was at least forty or fifty years old. He immediately stood up and asked, "Shopkeeper Zhu, have you ever heard of Qinian Peak?"
Zhu Mo smiled and said, "Wuzhi Peak of Qingyuan Mountain is well known to women and children in this town. There is indeed no Qingmian Peak."
"What about the Heavenly Pavilion of Life and Death?"
"No." Zhu Mo always maintained that kind smile.
"Shopkeeper Zhu" Lu Liang also stood up and clasped his fists at Zhu Mo. "Then may I ask if there are any temples and sects on this mountain?"
"Well..." Zhu Mo hesitated for a moment, "There is a Taoist temple on the Zhongzhi Peak."
"Which Middle Finger Peak is it?" Chen Su asked quickly, "Does the Taoist temple have a name?"
"That temple is nameless and has been abandoned for many years. It is on the top of the Zhongzhi Peak and cannot be climbed by ordinary people, so I advise you two not to waste your efforts." Zhu Mo said, his expression became serious.
.
"Why is this?" Lao Lu began to have some doubts. The two shopkeepers must be hiding something from each other.
"Qingyuan Mountain is originally a secluded place, inaccessible to people. There are many monsters and beasts in the mountain. In the early years, some people went to the mountain to hunt for the mountain's treasures. However, they were basically injured or killed, and few people returned. That temple was originally the same
The master practiced the Taoist temple. Later, it was said that the master traveled around the world, and the disciples dispersed. Within a few years, the Taoist temple was abandoned. So I advise you not to go. Firstly, the mountain road is dangerous, and secondly, it is a waste of time. It is better to
Go elsewhere as soon as possible and seek a cure."
"Thank you so much, shopkeeper Zhu, you can pay us for the meal." Lu Liang said as he sat down. Seeing that Chen Su wanted to ask again, he shook his head at him and signaled that he should give up.
"No need, I'll treat you to this meal." After Zhu Mo finished speaking, he turned around and said, "If you two need anything else, just ask, but I advise you to listen to my kind words." Then he walked inside.
Hall.
"Uncle Lu, why didn't you let me ask clearly?" Chen Sugang started asking questions as soon as he sat down.
"It's useless. They deliberately concealed it and we can't find out. Just keep these questions and ask the experts in the mountains. Eat quickly. We will set off when we are full."
Lu Liang has been in the world for a long time, and he can see that the two shopkeepers are jealous and unwilling to say it clearly. But the more they act like this, the more suspicious they become. If there is really nothing, why bother to cover it up?
After Chen Su and Chen Su had dinner, the waiter had already taken care of the carriage. Zhu Mo refused to accept their money and stopped arguing. Lu Liang asked again about the location of Zhongzhi Peak. Zhu Mo was also vague and had no choice but to ask.
The two had no choice but to continue moving forward. After walking less than seven or eight miles, they saw towering ancient trees in front of them and thorns blocking the road. Lu Liang got off the carriage, looked carefully for a long time, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Sir, if you go any further, the car won't be able to go any further."
Chen Su jumped off the carriage and said, "Uncle Lu, I would like to thank you for your hard work and sending me to this place." After saying this, he bowed and saluted.
Lu Liang stepped forward and helped Chen Su up, "Young master is too polite. Otherwise, you can wait for me here. I will also go to the Qingyuan store just now to store the carriage and come back to go up the mountain with you."
"Uncle, you and I are here in a strange place, and we rashly left the carriage. What if something goes wrong? I appreciate uncle's kindness. Why don't you just wait for me in the town, sir?
It will take three or two days, or at most four or five days. As soon as I get the magic medicine, I will come here to meet you." After Chen Su finished speaking, he looked back at the mountain peaks that penetrated into the clouds, then took off the package from the car and carried it on his shoulders.
superior.
"Sir, Lao Lu is waiting for you in the town. Be careful when you go here. Be sure to pay attention to wild beasts and poisonous insects, especially at night. Make more bonfires. Firstly, most insects and beasts can avoid the fire. Secondly, they can also drive away the cold. The mountains are no better than those at the bottom.
, It will be cold at night..." Lao Lu explained a lot to Chen Su, and Chen Su nodded in agreement, keeping it in mind, and then checked the water and dry food before walking towards the forest.
"Son."
Chen Su stopped and turned around to look at Lu Liang, "Uncle, do you have any other instructions?"
Lu Liang hesitated for a moment, "I know these young masters may not like to hear it, but Mr. Chen is already like this. It is only right for the young master to do his best to seek medicine for his father. Mr. Chen will definitely be more pleased if he knows about it. Just do your best, Mr. Chen."
, don’t force it, Boss Chen definitely doesn’t want anything to happen to the young master.”
Chen Su nodded, knowing that Lu Liang was doing it for his own good, "Chen Su will bear in mind my uncle's sincere words." After saying that, he bowed to Lu Liang again, turned around and left without looking back.
Lu Liang watched Chen Su off until Chen Su's figure disappeared into the dense forest, then drove the carriage alone and returned to Qingyuan Town.
