Facing his son's clear and foolish eyes full of curiosity, Huo Shaoyuan sighed: "Just listen to me, and don't ask about other things."

You won’t understand even if I tell you.

Huo Changsheng nodded helplessly: "Oh..."

It's almost autumn and it's a little chilly on the top of the mountain.

Xiao Yingchun, wrapped in a shawl, sat on the balcony of the viewing suite, drinking black tea and eating snacks while waiting for news.

Huo Shaoyuan and Huo Changsheng began to pant heavily.

Seeing that the two of them were about to die, Fu Chenan had to slow down.

If we continue at this pace, I'm afraid it will take a month to explore all the places where vitality is concentrated.

I don't even know where to find the place where the tree was cut down...

After climbing up the Lotus Peak, Huo Changsheng completely collapsed.

Seeing his pale face and heavy breathing, Huo Shaoyuan finally softened his heart: Even if the dragon's energy nourishes, it is impossible to transform a person so quickly.

Forget it, let’s stop here for today.

"You follow them back to the hotel on the top of the mountain and wait. Chen An and I will go together..."

Huo Changsheng was as if he had been pardoned: "Okay... "

Two security guards helped Huo Changsheng back to the hotel, leaving only Huo Shaoyuan and Fu Chenan to continue with the remaining security guards.

On the Lotus Peak, the stones bloom like petals, forming a lotus.

Huo Shaoyuan stood at the top of the stone steps, unable to move.

Fu Chenan knew that Huo Shaoyuan was a capable man, so he didn't bother him. He just looked at him silently and waited for him to speak.

Huo Shaoyuan's gaze moved from what was in front of him to the distance along the mountain range.

After a long while, he decisively pointed in one direction: "Go over there."

Fu Chenan: "Okay."

The two men no longer called themselves Huo Changsheng and Xiao Yingchun. They went straight down the mountain and drove in the direction pointed by Huo Shaoyuan.

It took more than an hour to drive along the mountain range.

When Huo Shaoyuan saw one of the hills, he shouted to stop the car.

Fu Chenan followed Huo Shaoyuan out of the car. Huo Shaoyuan pointed to the misty hillside and said, "Go that way."

Fu Chenan still said one word: "Okay."

There are no stone steps on the next mountain road, and you need to cut through the mountains and build bridges over the water.

Fu Chenan took out an axe from the trunk and hung it around his waist, then took out a grappling hook and a bundle of rope and tied them around his waist.

Set off!

At first, Huo Shaoyuan wanted to leave by himself.

After he fell twice in a row and his pants were torn, he resigned himself to his fate and let Fu Chenan pull him away.

Fu Chenan swung his knife to cut the thorns in front, clearing a path, then turned back and pulled Huo Shaoyuan forward...

Huo Shaoyuan walked for a while and then used a compass to check the direction.

Later, Fu Chenan tied Huo Shaoyuan to his body with a rope, and he led the way in front, while Huo Shaoyuan looked at the compass on his back.

"We're here. This is it."

Huo Shaoyuan pointed to a cave covered with thorns.

Fu Chenan stepped forward, wielding a hatchet, and skillfully cleared out a small space.

Huo Shaoyuan was secretly surprised: Why does this young man with dragon energy look like he was born a woodcutter?

This ability to climb mountains, build roads, chop wood and split trees is too strong...

Fu Chenan had almost finished chopping, so he turned around and asked, "Uncle Huo, is this ok?"

Huo Shaoyuan came back to his senses: "It's all right, it's all right..."

Huo Shaoyuan looked around with a compass, and Fu Chenan's eyes also patrolled the area: The trees in this area should not be very old...

If it were twenty years ago, they would probably still be saplings.

Looking at the ground again, there was no tree chop left after the tree was cut down.

Not here...

Huo Shaoyuan nodded repeatedly: "This place is good for a grave, a good place..."

Fu Chenan nodded: "Uncle Huo, is there any place around here where vitality is better concentrated?"

When Huo Shaoyuan heard this, he knew that this was not the place Fu Chenan was looking for.

"There must be more. Shall we go now?"

Fu Chenan squatted down: "Come on my back..."

Huo Shaoyuan was resisting in his heart: he was in the prime of his life, and asking a man to carry him on his back... He always felt a sense of shame for being old and frail.

But thinking of his torn pants, he gritted his teeth and lay down.

Fu Chenan stood up lightly and walked to the next location with Huo Shaoyuan on his back.

Huo Shaoyuan had nothing to do, so he started gossiping: "Chen An, how come you are so good at martial arts?"

Fu Chenan thought for a moment and said, "I was a soldier."

"No wonder..." Huo Shaoyuan understood immediately.

But there are some things that Huo Shaoyuan still wants to know: "Chen An, what are you looking for this place for?"

"If you tell us clearly what it is for, it will be easier for us to find it?"

Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun had discussed this before. If Huo Shaoyuan asked, how should they answer?

He immediately responded according to what Xiao Yingchun said.

"My wife got a piece of wood. It should have grown in a lush place near Huangshan..."

After a half-hearted explanation, Fu Chenan turned around and asked, "Do you think we can find the wooden stakes we cut down before if we find that place?"

Huo Shaoyuan was not stupid, and he immediately guessed that the thing must be very magical.

Otherwise, with Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun's current wealth, there would be no need for them to go through so much trouble to travel through mountains and rivers.

"If there is enough vitality, even a wooden stake will not decay easily. It may even grow new branches next to it and grow into a big tree again..."

Huo Shaoyuan expressed his views and Fu Chenan listened humbly.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

The security guard who was accompanying them not far away brought sandwiches.

Fu Chenan smiled apologetically: "We are not allowed to light a fire on the mountain, so we can just eat a little to fill our stomach?"

"Okay, just eat something..."

The two of them had a simple lunch with mineral water and continued on their journey.

They went to three places but still didn't find the one Fu Chenan thought was right, and it was getting dark.

The security guard suggested: "Master, Master Huo, how about we go back first? We can continue tomorrow?"

Fu Chenan and Huo Shaoyuan looked up at the sky: "Let's go back..."

They walked out of the main road and went up the mountain to meet up with Xiao Yingchun and Huo Changsheng. They sat on the balcony as the sun set, eating dinner and discussing tomorrow's actions.

Huo Shaoyuan reviewed the places he visited today while planning his itinerary for tomorrow.

He used chopsticks as a pen and scratched on the map: "We looked at these three places today, but Master Fu said they are not here, so tomorrow, we can go here..."

Xiao Yingchun nodded.

Huo Changsheng suggested: "Dad, the place you are looking for is not on the top of Mount Huangshan anyway, why don't we just go back to Wolong Villa?"

Huo Shaoyuan looked at Xiao Yingchun: "What do you think?"

The first rule to prolong life: Wherever Xiao Yingchun is, Huo Changsheng will be there.

As long as I can get close to the dragon energy...

Xiao Yingchun looked at the shadowy mountains and had a vague premonition in his heart.

"Shall we stay on the mountain for one night and go down tomorrow?"

Fu Chenan: "Okay."

If my lady wants to live here, then she can live here.

After dinner, they went back to their rooms. Xiao Yingchun held Fu Chenan's arm tightly and said, "Tell me, if we find that place, can we find the secret of traveling through time and space?"

Fu Chenan knew the secret speculation in her heart: "Do you want to confirm whether your parents' souls have traveled to another time and space?"

Xiao Yingchun paused, she looked up at Fu Chenan, not even daring to nod.

I was afraid that if I nodded, the secret hope in my heart would turn into tears.

Fu Chenan sighed and rubbed her head with his hand: "You'll know when you find it."

Xiao Yingchun then pursed her lips and nodded heavily. She blinked and tears fell.

"I just thought: my parents had been gone for more than a year, and it was only after I took over the small supermarket that I discovered the specialness of the back door."

"Are they just waiting for me to come home?"

"If I can find another piece of the same wood and make another door, can I follow that door to find my parents?" (End of this chapter)
