Dark clouds were rolling.
Thunder and lightning were clapping.
Wind and sand were roaring.
The ruins were trembling.
In the chaos, the mysterious old man stood there alone, looking more and more hesitant, more and more confused, his eyes more and more empty, more and more lifeless. He looked like an old senior who had cultivated for an unknown number of years, and had cultivated until his soul was in a daze, his consciousness was blurred, and he was rather pitiful.
"Why don't we find a place to drink?"
It wasn't easy to meet a master from the Daoless Era. Gu Qingfeng originally wanted to inquire about something, but unfortunately, this old senior might really be lost, or he might really have forgotten everything.
Since that was the case, Gu Qingfeng was too lazy to ask any more questions. Looking at the pitiful old man, he suggested to drink.
"Drink? What do you want to drink? "
"Wine, of course. What else can I drink?"
Looking at the mysterious old man's puzzled look, Gu Qingfeng asked, "What's wrong? Don't tell me you've forgotten what wine tastes like? "As he spoke, Gu Qingfeng took out a jar of wine, poured a cup, and handed it over.
The mysterious old man received the wine cup and did not hesitate to raise his head and drink it in one gulp. After which, he closed his eyes as if he was reminiscing about something. A long while later, he slowly opened his eyes. A complicated expression flickered in his empty eyes as he said, "If this is the so-called wine, then this old man has definitely drunk it in the past."
"That's good."
Gu Qingfeng looked around, "This place has been turned into a mess by you. Don't look for it, just drink here."
At that moment, Gu Qingfeng did not stand on ceremony. He directly took out dozens of jars of wine, sat down, opened a jar, and drank with the mysterious old man.
This old man was really good at drinking. One jar after another, he didn't even pant in between. He drank more than ten jars in one go, and he still looked like he hadn't had enough. He drank to his heart's content.
"I say, old senior, let's drink slowly. Don't worry, there's a lot, it's definitely enough to fill your stomach."
"Young man, thank you for your good wine. This old man hasn't drunk wine in a long time. It's really memorable."
"Yo, what's the matter? Judging from your voice, could it be that you want to start with something?"
"No, I'm just reminiscing about this feeling."
"Since there's some aftertaste, drink more. Come, let's have a jar."
After drinking another three jars, the mysterious old man said, "Young man, if you find that something is wrong later, please leave immediately."
"What happened?"
"This old man's consciousness fluctuates between good and bad. Don't look at how I'm awake right now. Who knows if I'll blur in the next moment. When this old man's consciousness is blurry, I can't control myself at all. I don't know what I'll do."
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it." Gu Qingfeng raised his glass and asked, "But then again, don't you remember anything about the Daoless Era?"
"I can't remember … I really forgot, I forgot everything …"
"Have you forgotten who you are?"
"I forgot …"
"Alright, then what did you mean by those two sentences when you first came in? Everything is fake? "
"I don't know, this old man also doesn't know. I just had this feeling and spoke nonsense. Don't take it seriously."
Convinced.
Gu Qingfeng was completely convinced, but he still didn't give up and continued to ask, "How about this, I won't ask you what you know. Just tell me what you still remember. You can't have nothing in your head, right?"
"This old man doesn't remember, I don't remember anything. Even if I remember, it's mostly some fragmented, intermittent and vague memories."
"Then do you know where this place is?"
"I don't know."
"Since you don't know, why did you rush in?"
"Looking for a mountain."
Hearing that the mysterious old man was looking for a mountain, Gu Qingfeng immediately became spirited and hurriedly asked, "What mountain? Is it Daoless Mountain? "
"I don't know, I don't remember, I don't even know why I'm looking for that mountain."
Gu Qingfeng took out the Nirvana Oblivion Painting from his storage bag, pointed at the Daoless Mountain, and asked, "Is it this mountain?"
The mysterious old man took the Nirvana Oblivion Painting and carefully looked at it. At first, there was nothing, but after looking at it for a while, the mysterious old man's expression gradually began to change. His eyes were no longer empty and became excited. His expression was no longer hesitant, but excited. It seemed that even the muscles at the corners of his mouth were twitching unnaturally.
"It's this mountain, yes … it's this mountain, this old man has been looking for this Unreal Mountain!"
"Unreal Mountain?" Gu Qingfeng asked doubtfully, "Isn't this Daoless Mountain?"
"No! This is Unreal Mountain! It must be Unreal Mountain! It can't be wrong! This old man definitely can't be wrong, this is Unreal Mountain! "
Perhaps he was really too excited, the mysterious old man grabbed Gu Qingfeng's hand and asked, "Young man, do you know where Unreal Mountain is?"
"Old senior, to tell you the truth, I'm also looking for this mountain."
Gu Qingfeng thought that maybe Daoless Mountain was just a name given by later generations, or maybe the real name of this mountain was the Unreal Mountain that the mysterious old man spoke of.
"However, why are you looking for this mountain?"
"Why? Yes … why am I looking for Unreal Mountain? " The mysterious old man's expression became absent-minded again, and he muttered, "Why am I looking for Unreal Mountain? What is Unreal Mountain?"
The mysterious old man closed his eyes and tried to recall. After a while, he shook his head and said disappointedly, "I can't remember … I really can't remember. I only remember that Unreal Mountain is the place where everything began, and it should also be the place where everything ends … It should be like this … As long as I find Unreal Mountain, everything will be revealed, everything … everything … will … everything …"
"What is the place where everything began? What is the place where everything ends? And what is the truth? "
"I don't know, I can't remember … I forgot."
After chatting with the mysterious old man for so long, the more Gu Qingfeng talked, the more tired he felt. He felt like he was chatting with a madman.
"Forget it, since you can't remember, then don't think about it. Come, let's drink."
"Young man, I'm really sorry, I really can't remember … I can't help you."
"No problem, just treat it as making a friend."
"Friend?" Hearing the word 'friend', the mysterious old man fell into deep thought.
"What?"
"No, it's just that the word 'friend' seems too foreign and too distant to me."
"That was in the past. From now on, with me as your friend, you will definitely redefine the meaning of the word 'friend'."
The mysterious old man shook his head, but he didn't know why.
"Young man, I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask."
"Old senior, please ask."
"Just now, you said that you were looking for Unreal Mountain, why?"
