People are singing in the tide, but there is no crown

"Secret method of longevity?"

Seeing Chang Li coming, they were surprised at first, but then their attention was attracted by her words.

Chaomei was about to ask, but Changli just put his index finger to his lips and looked at the old man who was telling a story in the crowd.

Several people understood and continued to listen.

Someone in the audience questioned, "Old man, anyone who enters or leaves Chengxiao Mountain cannot help but be affected by the accumulation of life spans. Your story is too artistic!"

"Yes! Logically speaking, the woodcutter should have passed away. How could he still be the same? We are all native people of Hongzhen. You can't fool us."

The old man laughed loudly upon hearing this. He said in a loud voice: "Don't be anxious. Listen to me. Have you ever heard of the most mysterious legend of Chengxiao Mountain?"

"What legend?"

"That's the rumor that in that holy place in the mountains, there is a real secret method of immortality!"

When the old man finished speaking, all the onlookers were amazed.

Before everyone could react, he continued, "This Chengxiao Mountain is where the Lord of the Years lives. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely abundant, so even if you just live in the mountains, you can live longer. And the game of chess that the woodcutter watched at that time is the secret to his unchanged appearance, hahahaha!"

"Could it be that there really is a so-called secret method of immortality?" Someone murmured, with anticipation in his eyes.

Seeking immortality is a desire engraved in the bones of every Lulong person.

Who can not be moved?

The old man said calmly, "After longevity, there is eternal life. Little did we know that many heroes throughout history have been on the path of pursuing eternal life, and would not regret it even if they died. It's a pity that the game of chess may have been lost long ago. Alas."

After saying this, the old man turned around and ended his story.

Ling An turned his head to look at Chang Li standing beside him, but only found a corner of his clothes disappearing in the snow.

In Chaomei's hand, a piece of letter lay quietly.

Ling An asked curiously: "What did Changli leave behind?"

The crowd gradually dispersed. A loli girl named Bella said hello and followed the crowd to other places in Hong Town.

Nowadays, there are many tourists coming and going in Chengxiao Mountain, so it is not surprising to see all kinds of people during this period of time.

Hearing Ling An's question, Chao Mei shook her head, opened the letter and read in a low voice:

"Looking at the rainbow scenery, looking around at the eaves, when the snow shadows become a stream, I will wait for you to return."

Chao Mei looked at Ling An: "Can you understand it?"

Ling An shook his head honestly: "I'm uneducated."

Changli's appearance at this time must be due to something.

It's just that she has always been behind the scenes, acting as obscurely as she is now.

"Maybe we can ask other people." Ling An suggested.

He looked around and saw a woman in the uniform of the Priority Convention standing on the side of the road, looking left and right. Chaomei understood what she meant and walked up to her.

Seeing Chao Mei coming over, she said, "Hello, I'm Youning, what can I do for you?"

Chaomei greeted him and asked, "I saw you looking around, as if you were looking for someone. Is there anything I can help you with?"

You Ning seemed to have seen a savior, and hurriedly said: "It's like this, I am a member of the Pre-Existing Convention. A senior explorer of the Pre-Existing Convention got lost in Chengxiao Mountain these days. I wanted to ask the Yegui Army to help, but we couldn't find him for a while..."

"Lost?"

"Yes, his name is Wu Li, and he is an explorer of the Pre-Existing Pact. He just doesn't come to Jinzhou often. I came here at the request of his lover..."

"I understand." Chao Mei responded, "If you go into the mountains in the near future, I will help you search in the mountains. Can you help me interpret this letter?"

She took out the letter and read it again in front of Youning.

"Looking around the eaves?" You Ning thought for a moment and said, "The place you are looking for can only be seen from the highest point of Hong Town!"

"I see." Chaomei nodded in gratitude and was about to leave.

You Ning's voice came from the front again: "Just now I saw that Lord Changli standing and talking with you, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye... Wait a minute, let me think, you are the Wanderer and the Ling'an Patrol Captain!"

Youning reacted belatedly and looked at Ling An and Chao Mei in surprise.

"Do you know Changli?" Ling An asked curiously.

"Of course, she is the direct disciple of Xuanmiao Zhenren, proficient in the art of diplomacy, and when she was the chief secretary, she made all the officials bow down to her. How could you not know this?"

"Uh." Ling An paused. His impression of Chang Li was not as good as that of You Ning.

Apart from the guide's identity and attractive voice, all we knew was that he seemed to have been a high-ranking official.

I didn't expect he was such a high-ranking official.

"Lady Changli is my idol. She voluntarily stepped back behind the scenes at the most glorious moment and came to Jinzhou to assist Lord Lingyin. No one can guess what she is thinking." Youning continued.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Ling An quickly stopped her from talking. Seeing Youning's excited expression, if she continued talking, she might even keep them talking for the whole day.

"Sorry, sorry. Since it's Patrol Officer Ling'an and the Drifter, I believe we can definitely find the explorer senior."

After saying this, she left contentedly.

With Ling An and Chao Mei's reputation, it is indeed worth reassuring.

Now that she had figured out the location Changli hinted at, Chaomei did not hesitate and took Ling An to the highest point of Hong Town.

As for whether Changli’s invitation was for Chaomei alone or to include Ling An, this was not within Ling An’s consideration.

Under the current circumstances, even if he wanted to leave, Chaomei would hold him.

When a man and a cat stood on the eaves of the tallest building in Hong Town, an ancient circular relic appeared in front of them.

"Look at the eaves from the circular ruins... We have already seen the circular ruins, the eaves..." Ling An muttered, and suddenly pointed to a pavilion in front of him, "Could it be that place?"

Chao Mei nodded. She looked at Ling An with a subtle smile on her face: "It should be correct, but what if I don't want to walk?"

Ling An suddenly felt something was wrong.

The next second, he felt himself flying out of Chao Mei's arms.

"Ling An, come on!"

"Again?!" Ling An shouted helplessly, and the gourd around his neck flashed with golden light.

At this moment, many passers-by on the ground in Hong Town looked up in surprise.

The graceful bird of prey suddenly appeared in the sky. It let out a soft cry, and gently flapped its two pairs of golden wings, blowing up the snow on the eaves.

"It's a remnant of an elephant!" someone exclaimed.

"Don't be nervous. Look at the figure on the back. It's the Wanderer. And the cat, who else could it be but Patrol Captain Ling An?" someone explained.

"I'm shocked. Can this aura control a raging wave-level sound?"

Ling An and Chao Mei in the sky could not hear the conversation below. The wailing cries carried them towards the circular ruins.

After a moment, it landed in front of the pavilion.
