90,000 Years of Longevity

Chapter 219: An Herb

Thousands of years ago, Leshan County.

In the beginning, it was still a deep mountain. It was also difficult to find anyone here.

Then a young man, fluttering in white, walked leisurely among the mountains and forests.

The young man had deep eyes.

His complexion was calm and indifferent. 

His expression on his face was neither sad nor happy.

When walking on this mountain, he seemed to be unknowingly blending with this mountain and the scenery here, without seeing any violation.

Occasionally, some mountain birds passed by.

Occasionally, there were some animals walking slowly beside him.

The existence of the teenager did not seem to have any influence on those creatures at all.

"After the end of the mythical age, there was an herb in the ruins of the heaven that fell into this Leshan County. Although all the Spiritual Energy has dissipated, after so many years, the herb has more or less absorbed it. Coming here today is also considered to be reshaping cause and effect." When the teenager walked, his mouth moved slightly and his voice was faint.

When reaching the middle of the forest, the young man stopped and waited quietly for an herb surging deep underground.

After a long time, the herb emerged from the ground and appeared directly in front of the young man.

"Sure enough, it's still alive!"

Seeing this, the young man still had no emotions in his eyes as he stretched out his hand to catch the herb, and stared faintly.

The herb was very old.

It survived for many years.

"Sigh…" The young man stared for a while, and sighed softly, "The old friend has not yet appeared, and this herb is useless for the time being. It seems that I can only think of other ways."

As he spoke, the young man raised his hand and tapped his finger in the void. 

A silver-white light spot appeared.

After that, the spot of light continued to enlarge. Soon, a magical space appeared. Inside that magical space, there a brand-new small temple.

The young man stretched out his hand and put the herb into the temple.

Then he thought for a while and felt that something was missing.

So he broke off two branches in the mountain forest and put them inside together.

Subsequently, that magical space disappeared.

Soon after, in Leshan County, a big Buddha appeared. On the bright side, it suppressed the torrent and benefited the people. In fact, it was gathering the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth to shake this small dimension for the young man.

Another time passed. 

Leshan County, because of that big Buddha, gradually prospered.

More and more tourists chanted with each other. 

In modern times, this place had been known all over the world.

That big Buddha was called a miracle by the world.

And in Leshan, two temples also appeared, one bright and one dark, one entered the world, and the other hidden. 

...

In Lingshan Temple, the air was getting colder.

When the ginseng flew into his hand, Ye Bei glanced faintly, then put it away.

The surroundings became extremely silent.

This situation lasted for more than a minute. 

In the inner courtyard of the temple, the two middle-aged monks who walked out did see anything outside.

"Huh? Where's Master Wood Spirit?"

A monk walked to the lobby, turned his head, and found that only Ye Bei was alone, and asked curiously.

"Master Wood Spirit was here just now. By the way, weren't you talking with Master Wood Spirit here... where did Master Wood Spirit go?" Another monk also walked out, and when he saw Ye Bei, his brows slightly frowned, and his voice was a little bad.

"He just became himself!" Ye Bei opened his mouth and murmured.

After saying this, he flicked the sleeves and turned around naturally.

Then he slowly walked towards the exit gate of Lingshan Temple.

"Hey, what do you want to say? Where are you going?"

"Did you take away Master Wood Spirit? Let me tell you... his identity is not simple. If something happens to him, the whole world will not let you go! You better confess your crime."

Seeing that Ye Bei was about to leave, the two monks immediately became anxious and chased him together.josei

But just as the two of them stepped out of the threshold of the lobby, they were immediately stunned.

Their eyes gradually became dull.

In their minds, some strange memories appeared...

Among them, a monk, with wide-eyed eyes. He pointed his finger at Ye Bei, his voice was hoarse and his face showed a terrified look, "You... you're the being..." Before he finished speaking, his body began to turn into crystals.

The same went for another monk next to him.

When Ye Bei walked to the middle of the yard, the two of them became two wooden slats.

The wooden slats were full of signs of decay as it was covered with the aura of the ancient. 

One fell in the lobby.

One fell in the courtyard. 

No vitality could be seen above it, and it had become a complete dead thing.

Ye Bei continued walking.

When the exit was less than three meters away from him, the courtyard and buildings behind him were all crazily disintegrating.

When Ye Bei walked to the gate...

Squeak!

The wooden door opened by itself.

Behind him had become deserted, without any vitality, exactly the same as the scene when he first came here.

"Ancestor, you are out?"

Outside the door, Master Yi Deng was looking right and left and around constantly, with a lot of anxiety on his face. After seeing Ye Bei appear, he immediately calmed down and his voice was respectful. 

"Well, the matter here has been settled!" Ye Bei nodded, glanced at Yi Deng, and replied very indifferently.

"Yes."

Yi Deng bent over and nodded. But his eyes secretly looked through the gap and looked into the wooden door.

It was just that the sight in front of him made him feel very confused. 

What he saw was exactly the same as the ruins when he first came here. There was not the slightest bit of vitality inside.

Even at a certain moment, Yi Deng had the illusion that he had always been dreaming.

"Ancestor, was there really a young Master Wood Spirit who ate meat in it just now?" In the end, Yi Deng couldn't help it. His throat squirmed, and he asked with some curiosity.

This time's coming to Lingshan Temple with Ye Bei, his initial goal was to discuss Buddhism with Master Wood Spirit. 

But the current situation was completely inconsistent with the goal.

"It was him." Ye Bei replied lightly.

Ugh…

When he heard the answer, he became more confused and hesitated for a while before asking, "Ancestor, after I came out from there just now, I looked inside through the gap in the temple door, but the scenery was completely different. It doesn't look like someone is inside!"

"I know."

"Then... Ancestor, can you let me go in again?" Yi Deng bent over, and his voice became more respectful.

Ye Bei shook his head, "Go back to Soaring Cloud Temple. Over there, it's a bit troublesome now."

"This..." Yi Deng tried his best to calm down, looking up at the decaying Lingshan Temple's gate, seemingly reluctant.

"The so-called Master Wood Spirit is just a root of herb."

Ye Bei lifted his foot and walked leisurely in front of the dazed Yi Deng.

After walking a meter or two away, the sound floated gently into the ear of Yi Deng...

"A root of herb!" Yi Deng opened his mouth and repeated.

He couldn't figure it out, he also couldn't guess...

But when he saw that Ye Bei was about to leave, he didn't dare to delay any longer. He quickly turned around and followed Ye Bei closely, thinking that if he had a chance, he would come to Lingshan Temple again.
