There was a beautiful legend about Shennong Peak. In ancient times, there was a young man and woman at the foot of the mountain. The man was handsome and brave, and the woman was beautiful and capable. They loved each other and grew deeper and deeper. When Mountain Tyrant and Ma Huang learned of this, they had evil thoughts. They wanted to bring their servants to snatch the young woman as their wife and the young man as their servant. After hearing the news, the two of them fled together. Mountain Tyrant then chased them to the top of the mountain and shot them with poisonous arrows. At this moment, Shennong discovered them. He scattered a handful of bamboo rice, which turned into countless arrow bamboos, trapping Shanba in the bamboo forest and turning him into a leech. Shennong then stroked the two young men. The man turned into a tall and sturdy fir-shaped tree, and the woman turned into a beautiful cuckoo. From then on, they became partners here and were inseparable.
Shi Kai seemed to have had a very long dream. He dreamed of his father, mother, and sister, swimming and basking in the sun with them on Hainan Island. The seawater was so warm, and the scorching sun on the beach made his entire body feel hot.，It was getting hotter and hotter, as if it was going to kill him. Suddenly, the images of his family gradually disappeared into the darkness. He struggled desperately, but he could not move his hands and feet.
Gradually, gradually…he quieted down. When he saw a light in the distance, his body drifted over…Suddenly, a strong light pierced his eyes…
" Mm," Shi Kai replied and woke up. He forcefully opened his eyes and immediately felt as if his head weighed a thousand pounds. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he was soaked in a large wooden bucket with all his clothes. The wooden bucket was filled with water, and the water reached his neck. There were also many unknown plants in the water. White smoke was still rising from the surface of the water. He felt that the water was getting hotter and hotter, and he subconsciously understood. There must be a fire source under the wooden barrel.
Although it was very uncomfortable, Shi Kai still managed to look around and knew that it was already night.
There were wooden walls on all four sides, and there was a stone brick bed not far from the wooden barrel. There was a fire burning on the ground not far from the door of the fifth house, and it burned an earthen jar. It was obvious that the contents of the jar had already boiled and were boiling. The layout of the house was very simple.
The water was getting hotter and hotter. Shi Kai couldn't stand it anymore. If I continue to cook like this, I will definitely be cooked. I don't want to be cooked to death. At the thought of this, he shouted,"Men! It's so hot, is there anyone there! Ah-why can't I move my whole body-come quickly…people!”Shi Kai struggled as he spoke.
At this moment, a person floated in, giving Shi Kai a fright. He broke out in a cold sweat and thought," How did this person come in? Was he even human? Thinking of this, he became more magnanimous.
This person was wearing clothes made of furry animal skin. His long white hair was messy, and a thin black rope casually tied up his hair. Just by looking at all this, one could tell that this person was very particular. Even if it was made of animal skin, it was very fitting and beautiful. He looked like he was in his fifties. He held a gourd in his right hand and drank the liquid from the gourd from time to time. His eyes were full of spirit, his left hand was placed behind his back, his body was tall and burly, his movements were elegant, there was a thin white stubble on the side of his face, his nose was high, and his lips were thin. His eyes were staring at Shi Kai with great spirit.
Shi Kai came back to his senses and shouted,"Who are you?!" Why can't I move? It's so hot. Let me go!"
"Shut up, you're disturbing this old man's wine. Otherwise, the cold poison will attack your heart and even the gods will not be able to save you.”"You're lucky that you didn't freeze to death!" The white-haired man said coldly.”
With that, he floated out as fast as the wind. This time, Kai was really frightened. He didn't know if he had seen a person or a ghost. However, his entire body was burning hot, and he couldn't care less about how difficult it was. He hurriedly shouted,"Hey! Let me go, it's so hot! Are you a human or a ghost…"
There was no reply, only silence…
Gradually, Shi Kai also felt that the water temperature was not that hot anymore. It was quite comfortable to soak in it, so he fell asleep just like that...
Shi Kai slept soundly. When he woke up, it was already noon the next day.
He suddenly opened his eyes and got up. He found that he was already sleeping on the stone brick bed. The slight heat on the brick bed could tell that he was not dreaming. Shi Kai carefully got off the brick bed and realized that he was not wearing a single piece of clothing. However, he did not feel cold, and the scars on his body did not hurt much. Shi Kai was surprised to see a large number of injuries all over his body. Those injuries had already begun to scab. He sighed in his heart,"How magical."
He found a thick piece of clothing made of animal skin on the brick bed. He wrapped it up tightly. Because the clothing was too big, it wrapped Shi Kai's entire body tightly.
Shi Kaixin did not know why, but he felt a strange sense of fear. He felt that the person last night was very scary. He took light steps and walked towards the door. He opened the door in fear and poked his head out to take a look. There was nothing but white everywhere. There was no one. She felt a little more at ease. She gently opened the door and walked out.
It was snowing all around, and there was a thick fog, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Shi Kai sighed and turned around to return to the house. As soon as he turned around, he felt as if he had hit a wall and was knocked back to the ground.
Shi Kai got up from the ground and looked at it, shouting for help in his heart. It was the person from last night. He did not know when he had silently stood in front of him. He was still holding the wine gourd in his hand and his eyes were fixed on Shi Kai.
Shi Kai felt his hair stand on end under his stare. He mustered up his courage and asked,"Are you a human or a ghost?" As soon as the question came out, he secretly regretted it. Of course, it was a person in broad daylight. Even a ghost would not talk to him like this. He couldn't help but curse himself in his heart. He had asked such a boring question. It was impossible to take it back.
The man shook his shoulders and smiled bitterly."Haha…I didn't expect this, I really didn't expect this. This old man has lived in seclusion for more than 70 years, and the first person I met actually treated me as a ghost.”
When Shi Kai heard this, he was completely stunned. What was that? Seventy years? How old was he now? Ninety years old? 100 years old? But he looked like he was only in his fifties.
The doubt in his heart grew.
"Little monk," the man continued. Just treat me as a ghost. Yesterday, you were unconscious in the Arrow Bamboo Forest. When I found you, you were already frozen to death. You're really amazing. You dare to run into an uninhabited area. Do you want to die?”
At first, when Shi Kai heard the words " little monk ", he realized that he had misunderstood his bald monk robe. However, the more he listened, the more cold sweat he broke out in. It was not anything else, but the words of the person in front of him were too shocking. Shi Kai trembled and said,"No man's land?"
"Haha, you don't know where you are, do you?”The man opened the gourd and drank a mouthful of wine before continuing,""This is the core part of Shennongjia's primeval forest, which is also a no man's land. Sometimes, due to the magnetic field, even the compass will fail. How dare you run inside? You were lucky. You fainted in the Arrow Bamboo Forest. If you really ran into the primeval forest in the uninhabited area, you would have become the godson of King Yama.”
When Shi Kai heard this, he finally understood that he was now in Shennongjia. He thought to himself,'I'm lucky. No wonder it's getting colder and colder along the way. It's hard to breathe.' He was glad that he did not encounter any ferocious beasts along the way.
"You saved me?" Shi Kai asked softly.”
"Nonsense! Who else could it be? Could it be a ghost? I'm the only one in this hundred mile radius. Besides, when I met you, you were already running a high fever. The cold went straight to your heart. If it wasn't for this old man's fast actions and the unique secret medicine, do you think you would still be standing here and talking to this old man? The person who had been calling himself "this old man" looked at Shi Kai and said angrily.
Shi Kai thanked him carefully.
That person glanced at Shi Kai and continued,"I don't think you're a monk.”
Shi Kai nodded. He thought that he could learn kung fu to avenge his parents by becoming a monk. He did not want to be a monk at all.
Seeing that Shi Kai didn't say anything, the man didn't ask any more questions. He took a sip of wine and disappeared.
Shi Kai was shocked to see this person disappear in front of him again. He concluded that this person was extraordinary.
After seeing that person disappear, Shi Kai came into the house and curled up on the ground to warm himself up.，He was thinking about something…
