Chapter 2868 The Winding Path Leads To a Quiet Place

 Lin Wan'er's words made Ye Chen seriously think about "whether Meng Changsheng is really alive" for the first time. This question seemed a bit ridiculous at first glance.

    In the Nine Profound Heavenly Scriptures, there is no record of allowing a person to live for more than a thousand years, so this has already touched his blind spot in knowledge.

    In fact, there is not even a record of the Everlasting Green Pill in the Nine Profound Heavenly Scriptures.

    Even Lin Wan'er belongs to Ye Chen's knowledge blind spot, let alone Meng Changsheng.

    On this issue, although there is no direct evidence to prove Meng Changsheng's current life and death, Ye Chen does not dare to take it too seriously, and he must not be sloppy with the caution he should have, and cannot be taken lightly.

    So, he said to Lin Wan'er: "I very much agree with the views mentioned by Miss Lin just now, but we are already here and there is no reason to retreat. Why not follow what Miss Lin said and let's go find out together? ."

    Lin Wan'er knew that Ye Chen would not give up easily, and being willing to take her with him was already the biggest concession he had made, so she nodded without thinking and said: "Okay! The slave family is with the young master!" Ye Chen nodded slightly and then sighed softly

    , Said: "If the two of us are together, it is not realistic to go down from here. Let's turn around and go back into the mountains in the opposite direction from the town where Wu Feiyan appeared." "Okay." Lin Waner nodded obediently and said, "As long

    as The young master is willing to take the slave family with him, and everything about the slave family will be subject to the master's

    arrangements." The two reached a consensus, and Ye Chen no longer delayed. He turned back at high speed at the next exit, passed the spot where Wu Feiyan jumped down, and continued to drive forward. After traveling for dozens of kilometers, he got off the highway at the township where Wu Feiyan left.

    The map shows that this township has only one rugged mountain road leading to the outside world in addition to the expressway. The end of the mountain road starts at the foot of a mountain called Qiandao Mountain not far away. connects and then continues to the entrance and exit of the highway.

    If you don't get on the expressway here, you can continue to drive forward, and you can reach a national road that crosses Yunnan and Guangxi.

    The place where Wu Feiyan appeared was on the road from the starting point of the former Dao Mountain to the middle of the town.

    So, Ye Chen drove the car to the place where Wu Feiyan appeared, and decided to walk into the mountain from here, generally heading in the direction where Wu Feiyan abandoned the car, to see if he could find any clues left by Wu Feiyan.

    After all, Wu Feiyan was in a hurry when she left, and Ye Chen speculated that she should have no time to deal with the clues she left behind.

    After the two got out of the car, Ye Chen took the equipment for entering the mountain and headed towards the mountain together with Lin Wan'er.

    After leaving the country road, the rugged virgin forest does not immediately appear. On both sides of the road, there are almost terraces cultivated by local farmers, so there are naturally paths for people and livestock to walk, and for motorcycles to travel.

    It just so happened that the direction of this path coincided with the direction Ye Chen planned to search for, so the two walked through this path one after the other and kept advancing into the mountains.

    The two climbed over a low mountain that was almost entirely covered with terraces and continued to move deeper. At this time, there were fewer and fewer human traces on both sides. Although there were still a few terraced fields occasionally, they were far away from the villages and towns. No one has developed it one after another.

    When he climbed over the second mountain and started heading down the mountain, Ye Chen saw that the rugged path had changed from a long khaki strip into a slender Y-shape in the valley ahead. In addition, there was There is a meandering river more than one meter wide, flowing all the way down the valley.

    The river just passes through the intersection of the three straight lines in a Y shape. Someone built a five-step stone pier with stones here. The river flows slowly through the four gaps in the five-step stone pier because the five-step stone pier blocks the flow of water. The speed is such that the water flows on the left side of the Y shape, forming a buffer zone of about four or five square meters. The small stream that was originally one meter wide suddenly became nearly three meters wide here.

    The path is divided into two at the foot of the mountain. The one on the right leads deeper, and the one on the left leads to the top of another mountain in front of the left. However, compared to the mountain that Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er are climbing, that mountain is overall smaller. It is much shorter, and on the top of the mountain, there is a small piece of brown-red low-rise buildings, whose purpose is unknown.

    Shiwanda Mountain is located in the southwest. Even in the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is still warm and humid, so the plants here also grow extremely lush. The slopes, mountaintops, and valleys are all lush and green, and they look particularly pure in the sun. It is completely visible. No modern labels appear.

    Lin Wan'er followed Ye Chen step by step, looking at the scenery in front of her, She couldn't help but admire: "The ancients often said that winding paths lead to seclusion, but I never thought that the scenery along the way, such as the 100,000 mountains that made people talk about it, would be so beautiful and quiet. , if you live here for a while, it will definitely be very comfortable and comfortable!"

    Ye Chen said with a smile: "When you don't have to worry about breaking the Qing meeting in the future, I will buy you a few mountains here, and you can choose a mountain to build a house. The rest will be used to grow tea trees."

    Lin Waner shook her head and said, "The climate here is not suitable for Pu'er tea trees, but it is suitable for planting some green tea."

    After speaking, Lin Waner couldn't help but muttered: "Young master, although my family likes tea, but I also like tea. I don't plan to be a hard-working tea farmer for the rest of my life. There are so many tea trees in Erlang Mountain, and my family doesn't know how to plant them in the future. You want to buy land for my family to grow tea here. Will my family have to deal with tea all day long? ?”

    Ye Chen said with a smile: “I didn’t mean that, I just saw that you really like this place, so I wanted to buy it for you.”

    Lin Wan’er smiled shyly, and said softly: “If you have this kind of heart, my master will be satisfied.”

    At this time, the two were standing halfway up the mountain, and they could see the left hand side of the Y-shaped mountain road. A bald woman in a gray robe also came down from the mountain. She's bald, but she's still pretty.

    The woman held a wooden basin with both hands, which seemed to contain some clothes and a flat wooden stick.

    Since the mountain was much lower than the mountain where Ye Chen and Lin Waner were, the girl reached the Y-shaped intersection earlier than them.

    The girl stopped at the intersection, leaning against the road on the left of the Y shape, squatted down on the side of the road, then took out a long robe from the wooden basin, soaked it in water, rubbed it, and then beat it hard with a wooden stick.

    The wooden stick slapped the wet clothes, and the crisp slapping sound echoed softly in the valley.

    Lin Wan'er listened and saw, and couldn't help but said to Ye Chen: "The slave family used to wash clothes like this. I didn't expect that people would still use this method in the past so many years." Ye Chen looked at the girl from a distance and muttered:

    " She seems to be a nun, so the red-walled building on the mountain on the left should be a nunnery."

    Lin Waner nodded slightly and sighed: "Being a monk here is more difficult than most monks."

    The two walked along the mountain road. Continuously going downward, after a stick of incense, we have arrived at the Y-shaped intersection.

    At this time, the nun was still squatting on the side washing clothes. Since Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er had agreed to pretend to be a couple in front of outsiders, he stopped in front of the stone pier, stretched out a hand and said to Lin Wan'er: "I'll hold you over there. "

    Lin Wan'er nodded shyly, and immediately handed her little hand to Ye Chen.

    Ye Chen led her across the stone pier and was about to continue walking to the right of the Y-shaped intersection. The young nun next to him who was squatting on the ground washing clothes suddenly stood up, clasped his hands and bowed slightly towards Lin Wan'er, and said: "Amitabha , benefactor, our abbot has been waiting for you for a long time, and I would like to ask you to move to the nunnery to see you."
