After a bit of laughter and banter, the two quickly regained their composure and began to carefully examine the clues in the package.
After removing a few duplicates, they now have twelve clues. Piecing these clues together, the mystery of the longevity of the Immortal Village set up by the program team is about to be revealed.
It turns out that the secret to the longevity of the villagers in Buxian Village isn't divine protection or spiritual nourishment, but rather the village's location surrounded by mountains on three sides. Summers are cool, winters are sheltered from the cold winds, and the temperature remains relatively stable throughout the year, making it an ideal place to live. Furthermore, most of the surrounding towns have only been developed in recent years, with limited industrialization and minimal environmental pollution, preserving their pristine state.
The air is fresh, the water is clear, the pace of life is slow, the vegetables and fruits are grown by ourselves, and there are cleaner sources of meat and eggs.
To live a long life, not only is physical health important, but emotional well-being is even more crucial. A study abroad has shown that people who laugh often and relax frequently have a significantly lower chance of developing mental illnesses and cancer than those who are chronically anxious or pessimistic.
Living in such a refreshing environment, slowing down the pace of life, and feeling the power of nature, wouldn't it be more enjoyable than a life spent sitting in front of a computer screen every day?
The only truly unique feature is an ancient spring behind the village of Buxian. The spring water is exceptionally clean and rich in minerals essential for the human body. For generations, the villagers have drawn water from this spring, which has improved their physical condition and, naturally, extended their lifespan.
It's a very old-fashioned premise, but it's given a slightly fantastical makeover, making it seem quite mysterious. Once the mystery is revealed, one can't help but exclaim, "There's no such thing as divine blessings; it's all science!"
Lang Zhuo suddenly realized and used this sentence as his final summary. The production team clapped the clapperboard, announcing the end of recording for this episode.
Only when the numbers on the clapperboard stopped changing did Nan Xian finally feel a great weight lifted from her heart.
It seems I've truly broken free from this cycle...
For others, this was the shortest and fastest episode to date, but for Nan Xian, who had been stuck in the loop three times, it felt like an eternity!
Regardless of the outcome, at least it's finally over!
Once she relaxed, her nerves, which had been tense for so long, could no longer hold on. Exhaustion surged over her like a tide, and Nan Xian felt a buzzing in her ears and her vision began to go black.
Diao Yu was standing right next to her. Almost the instant Nan Xian swayed, he reacted and quickly supported her from behind.
Nan Xian pretended to lower her head to straighten her clothes, then leaned gently against him to catch her breath.
Fortunately, her physical condition has always been good, and it has been greatly improved since she absorbed spiritual energy in the spiritual energy chamber of the Cloud Hospital. The sudden dizziness and discomfort only lasted for a moment before disappearing quickly.
She had regained her composure and was calmly conversing with others, showing no signs of anything amiss.
After some pleasantries, the guests prepared to return home. Nan Xian was about to get into her nanny van when she suddenly heard Sheng Zhicheng's voice behind her.
"Sister Nanxian, please wait!"
She turned around in response, and he jogged up to her. He looked around and saw that only Nan Xian's assistant and driver were there, so he took a small thing out of his pocket and handed it to Nan Xian.
"Sister Nanxian, this is a peace charm that my elders obtained. It has been blessed and can ward off evil spirits and keep unclean things away from you. I'm giving it to you!"
Nan Xian looked down and saw that what he was holding was indeed a small brocade pouch commonly found in temples, with the temple's name embroidered on the surface in gold thread. It was very small and exquisite.
“This gift is too precious, I—” Nan Xian subconsciously wanted to decline.
Sheng Zhicheng chuckled and interrupted her, "It's alright, we have plenty at home. I didn't know what else to give you, so consider this a small gift! I was worried you might not like it, Sister Nanxian!"
Since he had said so, it would seem too pretentious for Nanxian not to accept it, so she accepted it generously.
Suddenly, an idea struck her. She climbed into the van, took a box from the pile of luggage in the back seat, and handed it to him.
"These are clay figurines I found on my first day here. They're a set of little dolls, quite interesting. Here you go!"
Sheng Zhicheng accepted it with a smile, and the two said goodbye before leaving in their respective cars.
Nan Xian's return flight is tomorrow morning. After leaving Buxianxian Village, she will stay at the hotel for another night and discuss with Diao Yu how to deal with the group of weasel spirits in Buxianxian Village.
The mountain road was difficult to travel, and Nan Xian's drowsiness returned as she bumped along the way. She soon curled up in her seat and fell into a deep sleep.
"Hiss—hiss—"
A faint, cool touch swept across her face, carrying a strange stickiness. Nan Xian was forced to wake from her slumber. Her sense of smell was the first to respond; the fresh scent of dew and grass filled her nostrils. She slowly opened her eyes. The light was somewhat dazzling, and a thin black shadow flickered in her blurry vision.
What's this?
With her eyes narrowed and her gaze focused, Nan Xian was instantly wide awake when she saw what was in front of her. A chill ran from the soles of her feet straight up to her skull, and she became instantly wide awake.
A snake! A black snake at that!
As if awakened from some extremely frightening memories, her face showed fear, and she scrambled back dozens of feet. With sharp eyes, she spotted a sharp stone on the grass, picked it up, held it to her chest, and stared warily at the black snake.
The black snake stopped in place, also watching her, its scarlet forked tongue swaying gently in the air, seemingly hesitant.
Nan Xian tensed up, quickly using her peripheral vision to survey her surroundings, already planning her escape route in her mind.
