Chapter: 5709

He sought only immortality and lived alone in the mountains for hundreds of years.

Initially, Wu Feiyun and Lin Zhixi were chased by the Qing army to the 10,000 Mountains, at which point they had no way out but to plunge headfirst into this boundless aura.

If it weren't for the Qing army setting fire to the mountains and infuriating Meng Changsheng, he wouldn't have inadvertently saved the two of them.

After saving the two of them, Meng Changsheng only then learned that the outside world had undergone drastic changes, with the Han dynasty having been overthrown by the Jurchen, which caused him to feel a sense of helplessness as a fellow Han.

It was precisely because of this that he took Wu Feiyun and Lin Zhixi as his apprentices, teaching them his skills, and letting them continue their anti-Qing endeavors.

As for himself, he still found it difficult to give up the wish to live forever, so he continued to remain in the 10,000 Mountains, cultivating in solitude.

At this time, Wu Feiyun's thoughts flew back to the year 1662.

Back then, she was still single-mindedly thinking about working together with her master Lin Zhixi to dedicate themselves to their anti-Qing endeavors and die without regret.

Together, they attempted to assassinate Wu Sangui, but failed to realize that Wu Sangui had surrounded himself with many capable individuals, resulting in the majority of the heroes who participated in the action dying, while she and her master managed to escape with their lives.

After failing in their action, both of them were extremely dejected. Meanwhile, the Southern Ming dynasty was almost destroyed, and there was no longer a main force opposing the Qing in the interior. Thus, Lin Zhixi suggested that they go together to Taiwan to seek the help of the national master Zheng Chenggong, hoping to follow him and continue their anti-Qing endeavors.

The two of them spent great effort to escape from the encirclement of the Qing army in southern Yunnan, only to find that fate was not on their side.

At that time, the Qing court was eager to celebrate across the nation.

She and Lin Zhixi were also at that moment heartbroken.

The two of them knew their abilities were limited and couldn't match the Qing army's strength, and on top of that, the Qing troops were everywhere searching for the pair. With no way out, they could only return to the mountains of Yunnan and seek refuge with Meng Changsheng again.

Who would have thought that Meng Changsheng was already at the end of his life at that time.

Thinking about this, Wu Feiyun's thoughts quickly progressed to the spring of 1663.

The scene from that year reappeared in her mind's eye.

She and her master were sitting in meditation, with white-haired Meng Changsheng looking tired but still calm, saying: "Zhixi, Feiyun, come with me."

The two of them just felt today's teacher was exceptionally fatigued, but didn't notice anything amiss.

So the pair followed Meng Changsheng and entered his stone chamber.

Meng Changsheng pointed to the two cushions in front of him and said: "Sit down, please!"

When they saw this, they respectfully sat down in front of him with their legs crossed.

Meng Changsheng then opened his mouth and said: "Although our connection is shallow, but as master and disciple, we are both determined to complete a great task. We hope that you can keep this great goal and restore the Han people's dominion over the Yangtze River...".

As he finished speaking, he took out two elixirs from his pocket and placed them on the stone table in front of them, saying calmly: "These two elixirs are the Wan Gu Chang Qing Dan that I once introduced to you. After taking this elixir, one's lifespan can be extended to five hundred years, and we hope that with these two elixirs, you will be able to complete your great task".

Wu Feiyun heard that the elixirs in front of him were capable of extending life to five hundred years, and was immediately excited. He thanked Meng Changsheng repeatedly: "Feiyun thanks Master! Please rest assured, Feiyun will definitely drive the Qing Emperor back to Nanguan Tower!" JrNovels.com
