I agreed, of course. I told them to rest for a while and then go out to eat when Xiang Fei and the others returned. During this time, I called Luo Wanjun and asked him to arrange for people to wait at the hotel. We would go back after dinner, and both sides should be present by then.
That specialty restaurant was located in a farm. Our group went there, found a table, and started waiting for the food. Wang Ling kept introducing and recommending various delicacies to me. As for me, I naturally let them eat whatever they wanted. After all, someone else was paying for it, so why not eat it?
Just as the dishes were being served, I heard someone calling me from outside the door. I turned around and looked through the glass window, and was somewhat surprised to see that it was Li Changshu, whom I had met on my last trip to Mount Emei, calling me.
He seemed quite anxious, so I figured he had something to tell me. I told Wang Ling and my mom to eat first, and I'd go out and check.
As soon as we stepped outside, Li Changshu rushed over and pulled me aside, saying, "Don't you want to live?"
"What do you mean?" I looked at him, puzzled.
“You can’t go to the place where you become an immortal,” Li Changshu said, looking at me with a solemn expression.
When he said that, I immediately understood. "So you knew everything?"
Li Changshu nodded. "To tell you the truth, Luo Wanjun came to me a long time ago, but I didn't agree. Now he's come to you again, so I'm here to advise you to give up this idea. That place is not a place that people like us can go in."
He then looked around and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, come with me."
Without thinking much, I followed Li Changshu into the mountains. We arrived at a secluded place where there were some stone tables and chairs for tourists to sit and rest. Now that the weather is cold, few tourists come here.
Li Changshu and I sat down, and I saw him calculating something with his fingers. After a moment, he said to me, "You guys are in grave danger on this trip. The divination indicates bloodshed and danger lurking everywhere."
I naturally understood what he meant. In fact, we all sensed it even without him saying it. After all, we are Onmyoji. The place of ascension to immortality was a taboo subject in ancient Shu. Last time at the Starry Sky Teleportation Ancient Town, the Obsession of Returning had already mentioned that the people of ancient Shu were searching for the place of ascension to immortality, but they had never succeeded. The map had already been broken into pieces long before they did.
We don't know what the land of immortals will be like, but we can imagine that it must be similar to the scenes in myths and legends. Perhaps there are unimaginable figures inside, and we won't even know how we died.
Moreover, finding the place to become an immortal will definitely cause a stir from all directions. Countless people in the shadows will appear, including that demon. Furthermore, there is an important point: we have a traitor hiding among us. If this traitor betrays us, it will be an even more terrible calamity.
But now we're on the verge of disaster and have no choice but to act. We're being pushed forward by various factors, and we feel like we're caught in a web of fate.
"I understand what you mean, but we have no way out now, we can only keep going," I said helplessly, and then explained the reasons to him.
After a while, Li Changshu listened to my story and his expression became helpless: "Perhaps this is fate. It's time for all of this to come to an end. From ancient Shu to the present, I don't know how many people have lost their lives because of this. I hope you can escape this calamity. I will do my best to help you."
I am grateful for what Li Changshu said. His skills are no less than ours. He is good at divination and the Eight Trigrams. With his help, we have gained more strength.
After thinking for a moment, I asked again, "Is the place where one can become an immortal located in Mount Emei?"
"Well... it's hard to say. No one can be sure until we find it. But I deduce that it should be in Mount Emei. You must have already obtained the map to immortality, so finding the place to immortality will be much easier."
Then I asked, "Are all the 'reclusive masters' hidden in Mount Emei here because they are here to become immortals?"
Li Changshu shook his head, "No, that's not it. You know, Mount Emei has been a legendary fairyland since ancient times. It's much better to live in seclusion and cultivate here than in the outside world."
145 Immortal Ascension Maps
Finally, I asked him about the ancient Shu people. Li Changshu admitted that he didn't know much either, only that they were a mysterious people who appeared and disappeared suddenly, like a fleeting moment, leaving too many mysteries for history.
"They may really be descendants of immortals, or they may be descendants of a lost civilization. They have been searching for their origins, but we don't know if they have succeeded in the end."
They had to go back for dinner, so they didn't talk any further. They exchanged phone numbers, said goodbye to Li Changshu, and rushed back.
When I got back, Wang Ling and the others had almost finished eating, so I just ate a little something too. I made up an excuse about what had happened earlier.
After eating, they rushed back immediately. Xiang Fei and the others had already returned, and Luo Wanjun had also made preparations and arranged things for his mother and the others. Then they went to the place arranged by Luo Wanjun.
This is a farmhouse villa built in the mountains. Luo Wanjun led us inside to the basement, where several people were already waiting. Besides the female secretary, there were a few old men who looked like scholars.
When they saw us come in, they all came over warmly to shake hands and greet us.
"I have long admired the Onmyoji, a lineage with a long history."
"According to ancient legends, Yin-Yang Masters calculate Yin and Yang with their fingers, observe the major veins of mountains and rivers as they walk, and calculate the whole world and the cycle of reincarnation. Today, I have finally seen it."
