When he suddenly noticed a shadow swaying behind him, he thought he must be seeing things due to his failing eyesight. Who exactly is this person? Sigh, he can't see clearly. After a while, he suddenly heard a voice, about as aged as his own, softly resonate: My drinking companion, hello. Even though your hair is now all white, I can still recognize you. Xiaochuan, it's me, Old Cui!
Xiaochuan: You are Cui Wenzi! That's great. Quickly, help me rescue Yushu. She is now at the entrance of the Heavenly Palace, it's already been three days. Could she really perish? I don't want her to die. You have to save her. I beg you, Old Cui.
Old Cui: Xiaochuan, don't get so worked up. I know you are feeling terrible, but whether she can survive depends on her fate. Hurry, take me there.
Xiaochuan: Okay, as long as you can cure her, I can give you anything.
Old Cui jokingly said to Xiaochuan: What else can you give me? Really, right now, all you have left is your own old life. Still showing off, huh? Quickly, take me to see Yushu.
Xiaochuan: Alright, Old Cui, let's hurry.
Xiaochuan and Old Cui quickly arrived at the open area outside the Heavenly Palace. The sunlight was intense, the air thin, and the cicadas' cries pierced the heart as if about to bleed. This summer had lost all its beauty and had become dry and sorrowful.
When Old Cui saw Yushu, already dead, he was also shocked by her pale face.
Xiaochuan: What should we do, Old Cui? Can she still be saved? His urgent tone showed he was extremely scared and worried.
Old Cui: Don't worry, Xiaochuan, with Old Cui here, you don't need to worry.
Xiaochuan suddenly remembered something, and the smile on his face turned serious. He slowly said: Old Cui, you never took the elixir of immortality, so how did you also travel through time? And why are you in the same age I first met? Isn't this too strange?!
Old Cui: Xiaochuan, now that it has come to this, I don't want to keep it from you any longer. The special elixir I told you about is actually the elixir of immortality that the three of you took!
Xiaochuan: What nonsense are you talking about?! I don't believe it. Then why could you also come here? This is already the modern era!
Old Cui: That's right, this is the modern era.But, as you know, I know people from Beiyan Mountain. This sage is not just someone who can do basic calculations or fortune-telling. Basically, he is like half of the living Zhuge Liang. 'End of Chapter One'
