It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Chapter 335 The mysterious old woman

The light hits the stalactites for a moment, reflecting a colorful luster.

There was a damp smell all around and the ground was very slippery. Yuan Buwei was extremely careful with every step she took.

The further you go inside, the clearer the view becomes.

Even the coldness just now was gone, and it felt like the temperature around me had risen a lot.

"How could there be such a place below Majiazhai?"

Yuan Buwei used to go up the mountain to collect herbs. Sometimes she missed the time to go down the mountain, so she would just find a cave to rest for the night.

So, now that she has the opportunity to see a cave, she will not be afraid, but will instead be very curious to find out what it is like.

The further you go, the warmer the air becomes, and you can even hear the sound of gurgling water.

Yuan Buwei quickened her pace, and the entire scene in the depths of the cave appeared before her.

She was shocked.

Because where she was standing was a huge pool, and the hot steam was coming out of it.

See the mist rising above.

Yuan Buwei immediately walked over and tested it with her hand: "Hiss, it's so hot, is this a hot spring?"

"Cough cough cough..."

"Who?"

Suddenly, a few coughs were heard in the huge cave, and Yuan Buwei got goosebumps instantly.

She turned around and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and then saw an old woman with a cane, a hunched back and wearing a long gown, walking towards her unsteadily.

Perhaps it was the instinct of a doctor. When Yuan Buwei saw her, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Old lady, are you okay?"

"Haha, girl, you can't even protect yourself, and you're still concerned about me?"

The old woman had an unpleasant voice, as if it had been burned by fire. When she spoke, her voice was accompanied by wheezing sounds, and the children would be frightened and cry on the spot when they heard it.

"I fell from the slope below Majiazhai Mountain. I didn't expect that there was such a big cave hidden under the snow. And judging from your attire, you should be the owner of this Shandong?"

"What master? I'm just here to seek refuge."

The old woman coughed a few more times and groped her way towards the rocks ahead.

At this time, Yuan Buwei discovered that the old woman's eyes were cloudy and she was afraid that she was blind.

"Old lady, let me help you over there."

Yuan Buwei helped him sit down in front of the stone, squatted down and asked: "Do you live here, or did you fall here accidentally?"

"I came here to seek refuge. I haven't seen a living person in almost 70 or 80 years."

Yuan Buwei was shocked by the old woman's words.

The old woman in front of me was no more than 90 years old, but she said that she hadn't seen a living person for 70 or 80 years, and she came here to seek refuge.

Could it be that she came here when she was a child?

"I actually expected you to come."

Yuan Buwei quickly came back to her senses. This time she was not shocked, but stunned: "Old woman..."

"Do you know the disappeared Dugu family?"

"Dugu?"

Yuan Buwei took a deep breath. Although the Dugu family was an aristocratic family, it had never been recognized by any aristocratic family.

Just because this family has survived in this world for thousands of years.

They studied Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and were able to grasp everything in the world through celestial phenomena.

In other words, every move in the world is controlled by this family. It can predict a person's life on a small scale, or the future of the king of this country.

They can all be calculated accurately one by one.

And it is this terrifying power that is feared by emperors.

This family had been hunted down by successive dynasties more than a thousand years ago, until the beginning of the Kaiyuan period of Dazhao, when this family completely disappeared from this world.

Da Zhao has existed in the world for more than two hundred years. Two hundred years later, Yuan Buwei met a man who claimed to be from the Dugu family, who could tell her fate at a glance.

How could she not be shocked and terrified?

"Don't be nervous. People in the Dugu family usually live to be 200 years old, but I'm luckier than them. I'm already 300 years old this year." The old woman tremblingly held up three fingers. "I've been here for so long, and I finally met an interesting girl. I'm so happy."

"Are you really from the Dugu family?"

Yuan Buwei herself had experienced rebirth, so she believed what the old woman said: "Do you live alone? You look so old, what do you usually eat and drink?"

"Hehehe...you are quite kind-hearted, little girl." The old woman laughed and pointed to the hot spring behind her. "This hot spring has a healing effect. I have observed the Majia Village for a long time. They are all very simple and honest. After I die, you can take them and lead the hot spring here up."

Yuan Buwei was listening carefully, but when she heard her say "after I die", her eyes widened instantly: "Old lady, you..."

"Birth, aging, illness and death are common to all human beings. Besides, I have calculated it all. And you..." The old woman's cloudy eyes circled around Yuan Buwei's face, "Let go of your ego, and you will be able to break through the current predicament."

“Let go of the ego?”

"God has given you a second chance. If you only seek revenge, your heart will become emptier and emptier."

"you……"

Yuan Buwei's pupils trembled slightly and she stared at the old woman in a daze.

"Cherish the person in front of you, he is God's compensation to you."

"Old lady, you mean..."

Yuan Buwei is completely confused now, her mind is blank, she doesn't know what to do.

"Your ideals are great, but if you don't open your heart to accept and love, you will always be trapped and unable to be free." The old woman sighed, "But this is your fate. You are destined to have to start over again before you can understand."

Although what the old woman said was a bit profound.

But Yuan Buwei probably understood: "Old lady, what you mean is that I can't cling to the past anymore. The past is the past. I should say goodbye to the past and welcome everyone I meet in my life now?"

"Well, I said that you, a little girl, are very intelligent, but your sister is not. Even if she could do it again, she would just want to eat a big fat man in one go. She is too impetuous." The old woman clicked her tongue a few times and slowly stood up with the help of her crutches. "Okay, they have all come down to find you. You can go out now."

"go out?"

Yuan Buwei was confused more times today than she had been in the past year. "Old lady, didn't you ask me to find someone to bring the hot spring water up here? How can I find you then?"

"You can follow the path from wherever you come from. As for me... you don't need to know."

"But didn't you say that you were going to... die soon? Then let me collect your body and bury you in peace?"

The old woman stopped and turned to look at Yuan Buwei: "You want to help me keep the body? You are not my family, I can't let you keep it casually."

"You are willing to let us bring the hot spring water up, so we naturally want to repay you. Although you may be used to living here, the weather is so cold now, I still sincerely invite you to stay in Majiazhai."

Yuan Buwei was speaking so seriously that she did not notice the cunning that flashed across the old woman's eyes.
