Xu Lingzhu thought for a while and said: "They all say that love is beautiful, but I have never been in a relationship. Maybe this is my unfulfilled wish!"

"Then do you have a sweetheart?" Zhao Xu asked.

"There seems to be one. However, it seems impossible for us." Xu Lingzhu laughed to himself.

"What about you?" Xu Lingzhu changed the subject and asked.

Zhao Xu sighed and said: "I'm just worried about the safety of the Five Ethnic Villagers and my family. If I die here, I wonder if they will be able to carry it on? However, I have already left a backup plan and gave them a final

It is a paradise where there will never be any disputes or pursuits."

"A land of paradise? What is that place?"

"It's Wangyue River, a place called Echeng." Zhao Xu said: "The people in Echeng are Hou Yi of a tribe in ancient times. The people there live a simple life and have never been in contact with the world. I also came there by chance.

There, you have to pass through a pool to reach Echeng. After arriving at Echeng, the world is completely different from this world. If you have heard of Tao Yuanming, you will know that he wrote a story about the Peach Blossom Spring, which is similar to that paradise."

After listening to Zhao Xu's narration, Xu Lingzhu's beautiful eyes were filled with an incredible look.

The red lips opened slightly and said: "Mr. Zhao, I didn't expect you to be lucky enough. So many mysterious things have happened to you."

"It's quite a lot! If I hadn't experienced it personally, I wouldn't have believed there was a place like Echeng. Therefore, Echeng is the final destination of my Five Ethnic Villages. Once the Five Ethnic Villages can no longer resist, they will obey me.

I wish to go to Echeng."

"Then...do you miss your wife?"

"Of course!" Zhao Xu replied without hesitation. "Qingqing is not only my good wife, but also my confidante, who understands me very well."

"Apart from Li Qingqing, have you never touched another woman?"

"this......"

Zhao Xu was speechless for a moment.

"It doesn't matter. If it's not convenient for you to say it, you don't have to say it! After all, this is a private topic." Xu Lingzhu said.

Zhao Xu shrugged and said: "Actually, it's nothing. To be honest, there are many women around me, including some stunning beauties. But they and I are all very good friends and have not crossed the boundary between men and women."

"If you were born in ancient times, would you still marry only Li Qingqing?"

"Of course not!" Zhao Xu smiled and said: "This time, that time! In the past, polygamy was allowed, and of course you could marry multiple women. Now the law is monogamy, and I can't marry anyone else.

Women. Actually, this is fair to women. In the past, it was just too patriarchal!"

"Can I ask you one more question?"

"Ask!" Zhao Xu nodded.

Xu Lingzhu pondered for a while, stared at Zhao Xu and asked: "What is the feeling of love between a man and a woman?"

Zhao Xu didn't expect that Xu Lingzhu would ask him this question.

He laughed at himself and said, "Actually, Qingqing and I got married first and fell in love later."

"Marriage first, love later, what does this mean?"

"We got together without any relationship. Later, we slowly developed feelings. But we have experienced the process of falling in love after marriage. It's the kind of thing where we think about each other all the time and want to be with each other.

, we never get bored. We always think about each other in our minds, even when we sleep. Even if we drink a glass of boiled water together, it feels sweet."

After hearing this, Xu Lingzhu felt fascinated.

He smiled bitterly and said: "What you said is so tempting, I almost want to fall in love. But the most taboo thing for those who practice Taoism is to have worries. Once there are worries, it will be difficult to enter Taoism."

"People have seven emotions and six desires, so they naturally have worries. In fact, I also want to practice Taoism, but Qingqing does not allow me to practice Taoism. Because, then Li Gang abandoned his family and went to practice Taoism alone in the mountains and forests. If he can cultivate Taoism only by abandoning his family,

, then I would rather not practice Taoism. The worst case scenario is that I will die!"

"You think about how miserable it is for a person like Li Gang who has lived for more than 400 years to not even have friends or relatives around him. I am not proud of his way of cultivating Taoism. On the contrary, I feel sorry for him.

He felt unworthy."

Xu Lingzhu said: "Perhaps, everyone has their own way of living! The reason why I want to practice Taoism is not to live longer, but to break through myself. After all, I have reached a certain bottleneck and want to break through again.

It is a very difficult thing. Even with the help of elixirs, it will be difficult to break through."

"Miss Xu, who is your sweetheart? Why haven't I heard you mention it?" Zhao Xu asked curiously.

Xu Lingzhu glanced at Zhao Xu and said: "He! He is quite handsome, elegant and elegant. Mainly because of his filial piety. Before, he and I always had quarrels, but it was just a simple liking! Anyway, he also

He didn’t know that I liked him, and he never confessed to me.”

"Then this man doesn't know how to praise her. With Miss Xu's beautiful appearance, there are probably not many men in the world who can resist her. I really admire this man!"

"Maybe he has some last resort reasons!" Xu Lingzhu sighed softly.

This time, the two took a long rest.

After my body regained some strength, I started digging again.

Unknowingly, I dug out dozens of meters more, but still didn't reach the end of the tunnel.

This time, the two of them were really desperate.

It was almost half a day since the two dug the tunnel.

Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu didn't eat or drink, and they didn't know how long they could hold on.

If I just sit like this, I might be able to hold on for a few more days.

However, they still had to carry out intensive tunnel digging work. Due to physical and mental exhaustion, the footsteps of death were getting closer and closer to the two of them.

Xu Lingzhu suggested to Zhao Xu: "We have been digging for a long time today, so let's sleep for a while before digging! If we don't restore some internal energy, we won't be able to last long."

"That's fine!" Zhao Xu nodded.

He was really tired too!

Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu were really tired.

At this time, they didn't care about the suspicion between men and women. They leaned on each other and soon fell asleep.

Zhao Xu had a long dream.

I dreamed about my wife Li Qingqing, my daughter Xiao Yezi, and my two sons.

The family went camping, bathed in the sunshine freely, and played freely.

This kind of life is what Zhao Xu wants to live.

"master!"

"master!......"

Zhao Xu suddenly heard Shen Hai calling for help. He suddenly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was a dream.

"Are you awake?" Xu Lingzhu asked Zhao Xu.

When Zhao Xu saw that he was holding Xu Lingzhu's jade hand tightly, he was so frightened that he immediately let go and apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss Xu! I..."

Xu Lingzhu smiled sweetly and said: "It doesn't matter! I know you were dreaming just now. It must have been about your wife Li Qingqing, right? Because you held my hand tightly and wouldn't let go!"

Zhao Xu looked embarrassed and nodded.

Stand up and say: "Let's continue working!"

Looking at Zhao Xu's back, Xu Lingzhu had a thoughtful expression.

The two dug another dozen meters, when suddenly the ground beneath their feet became soft and collapsed.
Chapter completed!
