Xingsuhai is not too far from Dianzhou, and it takes only about ten days to take a carriage.

Feng Tu, who was familiar with the road conditions, led the way, and Wei Zhibai arranged food and accommodation along the way. Chu Zheng and Guo Xiang sat in the carriage easily and freely, which was not like rushing on the road at all, but more like traveling around.

It was the time when spring was in full bloom. I saw the green grasslands and the scenes of flowers blooming along the way. Sometimes I could see lakes scattered with picturesque scenery everywhere, and the scenery was so beautiful.

Every time this comes, Chu Zheng will take Guo Xiang out of the car and play for an hour or two.

Accompany the girl to walk through the sea of ​​flowers, make some garlands for her, and when it is rising, they will also demonstrate the soft use of butterflies that cannot fly in their palms.

Looking at Guo Xiang's innocent, simple, happy and cute smile, Chu Zheng felt for the first time that there were some bad things in the ancient times, such as not having a camera or a DV, so he could not take a picture of this beautiful and intoxicating smile that was pleasing to the eye and keep as a memory.

But then I thought about it and said that according to Guo Xiang’s current seventh level of practice of the Art of Eternal Life, although it is still far from being eternal youth and having a long life of two or three hundred years, it is still possible to stay in youth for ten or eight years. There is no need to take photos to make a "Youth Memorial Album".

What's more, under my own guidance, Guo Xiang's immortality skills will definitely be able to practice the peak of the Great Perfection in ten or eight years, and his appearance will remain unchanged until he is old... just like myself now.

Slowly...youth stays there?

Chu Zheng suddenly thought of a question.

At first, I thought that it would take at least four or five years for Guo Xiang to practice the seventh level at this high level. At that time, Guo Xiang was in his early twenties, and his figure and appearance were in a mature period. After that, he could maintain his appearance at the age of twenty for a long time, even if he reached the peak of Great Perfection, he would be at most twenty-two or three years old.

But now Guo Xiang has practiced the "Yi Jin and Bones Forging" and has taken the "Da Huan Dan" given by Shaolin Temple, which has enabled her to reach the seventh level of the Eternal Life Art early at the age of sixteen...

It is certainly a good thing to increase your strength, but if you continue to practice like this, as the realm of the Eternal Life Art continues to improve, the growth and development speed of her body will become slower and slower, and there will be almost no major changes.

It is estimated that when the Changsheng Art reaches its peak of Great Perfection in ten or eight years, Guo Xiang's figure and appearance will be at most about eighteen years old, and will never change.

For other girls like Qin Ruyun who are tall and slim and have a perfect figure at the age of eighteen or nineteen, it is naturally a good thing to be able to keep such a figure forever. Therefore, Chu Zheng spread a vital energy of life into Qin Ruyun's body in the real world, allowing her to maintain her current perfect state forever.

But Guo Xiang is different. Although she is a little taller than Dongfangbai, she is also a petite and slender figure and has developed late. When she is eighteen years old, she may not be able to make any major changes. What's more, she may still be in a slightly immature stage similar to the current one...

Although Chu Zheng himself didn't care about this, he still felt a little headache when he glanced at the girl in the flower season running happily in the grass.

I remember that Guo Xiang has always envied Qin Ruyun for having such a good figure.

After thinking about it, in order to avoid being depressed and unhappy about Guo Xiang's figure in the future, Chu Zheng called her to her side and whispered the question she had just thought of.

Guo Xiang was stunned when she heard this. She lowered her head, gently playing with the corner of her clothes with her fair hands, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Junior brother, do you think I am so good now, or how many years will I grow up?"

Hey, this reaction was beyond Chu Zheng's expectations.

Chu Zheng is extremely cautious about this kind of problem that may lead to a mine-step.

Chu Zheng, who is good at thinking and learning, has now begun to understand a lot about girls' thoughts.

Girls have very delicate and sensitive minds and are prone to random thoughts.

For example, if you have a better figure in a few years, you may think, "Are he not satisfied with my current figure?" If you are so good now, you may think, "Are you perfunctory me? Or are you not interested in my future?"

Of course, Guo Xiang's straightforward and cheerful personality should not think like this, but it is normal for girls in love to worry about gains and losses. Sometimes just because your boyfriend says your hairstyle is not good enough, you will be in a bad mood all day long, and then you will never tie that hairstyle again. (Click on the blackboard, reader, please write it down, adapted based on the real case of your friend)

Just in case, Chu Zheng decided to use a panacea-style answer. He said as if he had mistook honey: "Senior sister, whether you look now or in the future, you are my favorite."

"That's it... Then I'll continue practicing."

Chu Zheng was stunned: "Why?"

"Because..." Guo Xiang lowered his head. Chu Zheng could not see her face, but could see her crystal-clear little ears were red and hot, as if recalling some shy past. Then the girl approached Chu Zheng's ear and said softly in a voice that only two people could hear:

"A few days ago you treated me like that... that way. I feel that you really like it... I like how I am now..."

Chu Zheng suddenly remembered what happened in Wuliangshan Jade Cave a few days ago.

He coughed and said, "Senior Sister, you are really good now."

Guo Xiang's face was even better. She said: "If you like...then...then I will grow up slowly."

Chu Zheng felt a warm heart.

In just one short sentence, it expresses the girl's deep love.

Chu Zheng couldn't help holding Guo Xiang's hand and said softly: "Senior sister, you don't have to think too much about me. For me, you are the best no matter what you are. Just do it according to your own wishes."

"This is my wish..." Guo Xiang secretly glanced at Chu Zheng and whispered:

"I asked Sister Qin before, and she said that when I was old, she was very tall and her figure was about the same as now. I think... Even if I was in my twenties, I might not be able to have the same figure as Sister Qin. Since my junior brother likes me now... I will continue to practice the Eternal Life Art and grow up slowly."

Chu Zheng thought for a while and then understood.

Guo Xiang planned to take a differentiated positioning and maintain her personality characteristics, which also proves that what she said before was not a joke that she was willing to be with Qin Ruyun and the three of them. She also took Qin Ruyun into consideration when she was thinking about the future.

Chu Zheng reached out and hugged the girl in his arms, and said softly: "Thank you, senior sister."

In fact, what Chu Zheng just said was the truth. Whether it is Guo Xiang who is still young now or Guo Xiang who may become mature in the future, they are the best in his heart and the most important existence that cannot be replaced.

Originally, he asked this question because he was afraid that Guo Xiang would be unhappy in the future. Now that he has made up his mind, he will let her go. As long as she is happy, Chu Zheng himself really likes Guo Xiang like this now.

Although it is a bit immature, it is so simple, beautiful, kind, affectionate, generous, cheerful, optimistic...

When he returned to the carriage, Chu Zheng saw Aji looking at the distance in a daze, so he signaled Guo Xiang to go back to the carriage first and jumped to the driving seat. Tian Sanniang immediately gave up her seat and stood by the carriage.

Aji's wounds had begun to scabre and his face was much better. Although he should have a good rest, he insisted on starting to fulfill his duties as a coachman.

However, his driving skills are not as good as Chu Zheng. Obviously, he just saw people driving, but he had never practiced them.

So Chu Zheng arranged for Tian Sanniang to guide him. Aji had a very good understanding and had mastered the skills in half a day. He had been driving since yesterday afternoon.

Tian Sanniang sat on the passenger seat to provide emergency support.

Chu Zheng took out a small bottle of wine and handed it to Aji.

Aji hesitated and said, "I still have to drive."

"This is glutinous rice sour plum wine. I bought it in a small town. It has almost no alcohol flavor and is sour and sweet. You can't get drunk even if you drink ten pounds."

Aji then took it and savored it carefully.

"Actually, you don't have to hurry to catch the bus. I said that you are just a coachman here, so you won't let you do anything else. I won't stop you from leaving. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time."

"I know." Aji was silent for a while before continuing: "Although I am useless Aji, I still want to earn back my food with my hands. You can't just eat yours and use yours just because you are a friend."

Chu Zheng smiled and said, "If you are useless, I really hope that everyone in the world is as useless as you."

Aji looked up, looked at Chu Zheng, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Don't you ask me why it turned out like this?"

"Everyone has his own past. You have it, and I have it too. Why ask more? If you want to say it, I will listen." Chu Zheng drank a sip of wine, but he drank a strong wine and a knife.

The hot feeling rushed straight into his throat. Chu Zheng sniffed his wine and continued, "But I really don't want to hear you."

"Why?"

"Because you said it, you will leave. I want to drink more wine with you for a few more days."

Aji looked at him for a long time, finally smiled, raised the bottle and touched him.

"I can't speak, and I have no friends before."

"At least I am your friend now."

"Yes." Aji smiled again.

Although he is not as handsome as Chu Zheng, he is also considered a heroic and similar to A Fei. However, A Fei smiles like a stubborn stone blossoming, very vivid and easy to make people feel good.

When Aji smiles, he will only make people feel sad and sad, because there is always a touch of sorrow in his eyes that cannot be dissolved.

Chu Zheng pointed to A Fei in the distance again: "Have you noticed that A Fei was looking at different plants every day?"

Aji nodded: "What are he looking at?"

"Life. To be precise, it is the power of life. Only by respecting life can we master the power of life. Swords can kill people and save people. This is the sword path that A Fei pursues."

"Is the kendo you pursue..."

Aji looked at A Fei's figure in the distance and was stunned.

Chu Zheng patted Aji on the shoulder, jumped out of the shaft, opened the car door, and sat back.

There are some things that cannot be said more.

Can you pass through this confused and dark stage? You can only rely on Aji to think and understand it yourself, or one day, he suddenly figured it out, put down his shackles, and found his own way.

At that time, Aji will enter a new realm like A Fei today.

This world may be missing another great swordsman who kills the gods with ruthlessness.

But Chu Zheng believes that this world will definitely be more exciting and beautiful.

...

The carriage headed westward, and the land gradually became barren and desolate. Occasionally, sand and low shrubs could be seen, and wind and sand would blow by.

On this day, the group came to a large inn to stay.

This big inn is strange. Within a radius of dozens of miles, there are no towns or villages. There is only such an inconspicuous inn that stands suddenly in the wilderness.

According to Feng Tu, this inn has been here for many years. A few years ago, he escorted a raft cart and passed by here, and he saw this inn. It was mixed with dragons and snakes. The inn charges very expensive, but it is still clean and tidy.

Chu Zheng put on a human skin mask, Guo Xiang also tied a veil, and walked in with A Fei and Ximen Rou.

Wei Zhibai, who was driving the road ahead, had already taken up a seat. Seeing Chu Zheng and others coming in, he stood up and moved aside, but immediately a group of people walking into the inn were looking around for the seats and sat down without hesitation.

These people dressed differently from those of the Han people, and they also had rat-like braids on the back of their heads, which were quite ugly.
