Chapter 5: Red Sun
In the early morning, the sea fog rises suddenly, the morning sun begins to rise in the sky, and the warm sun shines down, reflecting the small island hidden in the sea mist.
- Chiyang Gate, Tianyan Island.
Call~
A hint of sea breeze blew, through the half-hidden window of a house somewhere on the island, and gently scraped on the face of Lin Yuan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and gently woke him up.
Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, the soft sunlight shone on his face from the window, slightly dazzling, he subconsciously wanted to sit up, but suddenly felt a pain all over his body, his mind couldn't help but recall the scene at sea yesterday, and muttered softly: "I'm not dead..."
Everything was like a nightmare.
He sat up and looked around, only to see that this was a very ordinary room, the area of the room was not large, and the furnishings were extremely simple, there was a small wardrobe in the corner, and a set of wooden tables and chairs were placed in the middle, and all that was left was a bed where he was sitting.
Where is this?
He slowly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and with a hint of doubt, pushed open the door and walked out.
Outside the house is a quiet courtyard, in which a few colorful flowers and plants are planted, and they are pleasantly open. In front of the gate is a bluestone road that connects to the outside of the courtyard. In one corner of the courtyard, there is an ancient pine tree, on which is tied a red rope swing, on which sits a girl about eight or nine years old, there is a swing intently, completely unaware of Lin Yuan's arrival.
Lin Yuan looked at the little girl, and couldn't help but think of his sister Lingxi, and a wave of longing arose, and he said in his heart: "I don't know how Grandpa and Xi'er are now, I guess when I go back, I'm afraid the whole city will be surprised." ”
He couldn't help but smile, walked over to the little girl, and asked, "What is this place, sister, why am I here?"
The little girl was startled at first, then jumped off the swing, circled around Lin Yuan twice, blinked her eyes curiously, and said, "This is Tianyan Island, who are you, how come I have never seen it?"
"Tianyan Island..."Lin Yuan groaned softly, he grew up in Fengyuan City since he was a child, but he had never heard of the name of this place, and he didn't know how far away it was from Fengyuan City.
The little girl nodded and asked, "This is where my Chiyang Sect is located, there is a fog outside the island, and outsiders can't enter, why are you here?"
Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know..."He didn't know anything about the scene after falling into the sea.
The two children looked at each other like this, just in distress, and suddenly there was a sound of light footsteps outside the hospital, only to hear someone say: "Little brother, you are awake." ”
Lin Yuan looked back and saw a young man walking slowly, wearing a red robe, about twenty years old, carrying a long sword on his back, looking quite handsome.
The young man walked over, and before he could speak, the little girl took the lead in running back and said, "Senior Brother Ge Qing, this person is not from our Chiyang sect. ”
The young man who was called Ge Qing smiled and said, "Of course this senior brother knows that this little brother was rescued by the master when he went out to help the world, but he is not a bad person, don't worry." ”
The little girl nodded so much.
After Ge Qing finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yuan and said, "The little brother fell asleep for two days and two nights as soon as he came, and now his body is abnormal?"
Lin Yuan only felt that the pain in his body had disappeared, he saw that this person's clothes seemed to be the same as the red-robed man on the sea that night, thinking that it was that person who brought him back from the sea, he was grateful, and said: "With Brother Lao's concern, he is fine at the moment." It's just that I don't know if the senior who brought me back is okay. ”
Ge Qing paused, his face suddenly stiffened, and he avoided answering, but said: "Since the little brother is in good health, it just so happens that several masters in the sect are also trying to summon you at this moment, so please come with me." ”
When Lin Yuan heard this, it was inconvenient to ask more, so he nodded and said, "Yes, the eldest brother will lead the way." ”
"Come with me. Ge Qing said, turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate, and Lin Yuan followed closely and walked out of the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, there is a vast forest, and the lush branches and leaves block the sunlight, and it feels slightly cool. Along the way, Lin Yuan found that among the woods, there were several courtyards the size of Fang Cai, but there were no traces of people, and most of those courtyards were overgrown with weeds and piles of sundries, as if they had been abandoned for a long time.
After walking for a while, there was a bright spot in front of me that widened. Stepping out of the woods, only to see the mountains in front of them, towering into the clouds, there are sections floating in the air at the mountainside, the upper hall is majestic, half-covered by the clouds, the clouds, and from time to time there are streamers intertwined, it is actually someone who volleys the fighting method, and finally falls into the square floating in the sky.
Lin Yuan held his breath, the shock brought by the scene in front of him was simply a world of difference from the feeling of the deep mountains and old forests in the Fangcai forest. At this moment, even a fool can know that this is the legendary place where the immortal family cultivates.
Ge Qing seemed to see through his thoughts, coughed dryly, and said: "Among the four courtyards of this gate, my Cangmu Courtyard has been in decline for many years, and now it is even more scarce, so it looks depressed, and I hope that the little brother will not laugh." “
Lin Yuan shook his hand again and again, and explained: "Don't dare, don't dare! Lin Yuan has eyes and doesn't know, this is actually a place for the immortal family to practice, if there is any offense, he also looks at the immortal Changhaihan." “
Ge Qing said with a smile: "Little brother said that I laughed, although this is undoubtedly the place where the immortal family cultivates, I am not an immortal elder." “
Lin Yuanmu asked, "Isn't the eldest brother an immortal cultivator?"
Ge Qing said: "It's not, it's just that the world has a lot of misunderstandings about the cultivators of my generation, and those who only fly to the sky and escape to the earth are called immortals, but they don't know that this immortal road is long, just from the tenth layer of Qi training to the ninth order of the Dao, every step is full of difficulties, as for the ninth order of the Dao to the third realm of the true spirit, it is even more difficult to ascend to the sky, and those who cross the true spirit realm and become immortals, looking at the world, there are only a few people." “
Lin Yuan was confused when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Ge, is it difficult to cultivate?"
Ge Qing nodded, and said: "This cultivation is a matter of changing one's life against the sky, my qualifications are mediocre, I have been practicing for more than ten years, and I have only only reached the realm of the fifth layer of Qi cultivation, and in the future, every time I advance to one layer, if there is no chance, the time it takes will be several times that of the previous one, just take the head of this sect, Xuanyi Zhenren, who has stayed in the Jade Void Realm for thousands of years, but imagine how difficult it is to step into the fairyland." “
Lin Yuan nodded, and finally heard a reason, looking at Ge Qing and saying, he couldn't help but yearn for it, and walked all the way, and before he knew it, he had reached the foot of the mountain, and a stone step in front of him zigzaged up, towering into the clouds, and for the end of the clouds, his heart suddenly became hot, full of endless longing.
"The rules of this gate, except for practicing martial arts, you can't walk in the sky in other places, so this mountain road is ......" Ge Qing glanced at Lin Yuan and said helplessly.
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Ge, I went out to sea with my grandfather to fish every day, and I often got up the net and threw seedlings, and I was patient, this little mountain road is nothing." “
Ge Qing seemed to want to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed back, sighed silently, and spit out, "Let's go." “
With that, the two stepped onto the stone steps and walked all the way. It's just that Lin Yuan found that every time he went up to the first floor, his feet were one point heavier, and before he had taken a hundred steps, his face was already flushed, and it was difficult to walk an inch, while Ge Qing seemed to be used to walking on weekdays, and he didn't feel the slightest effort, as if he was walking on the ground.
Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and looked at Ge Qing's back, which was close in front of him, but he felt extremely far away and difficult to get close. It's just that the innate pride in his heart is unwilling, so he follows silently, and before he knows it, most of the mountain road has been walked.
Ge Qing saw it in his eyes, but he didn't speak, but in his heart, he admired the resilience shown by the young boy in front of him.
In front of the mountainside, the clouds and mist are misty at the feet, as far as the eye can see, the whole Tianyan Island is in full view, the area is wide, not so much an island, but a continent floating on the sea, during which dense forests are born, mountains emerge endlessly, overlooking from afar, I can't help but feel a wide heart.
Then, the two walked up again, about half an hour, the clouds and mist in front of them gradually thinned, in the vast sea of clouds, a mountain gate stands, followed by a palace, and the largest temple in the center is even more solemn, is written with three big characters: Tianyan Palace.
