3. Seek immortal Kunlun
Half a month later, Fengxian Town
On the weeds in the dilapidated temple, a young man dressed in a little wealth leaned against a mahogany pillar and persuaded the people next to him: "Brother Chen, don't gamble on that tone. Wait for Kunlun, there are still many such things! Where are you angry?"
The tone was soft but very solid, and the man in Tsing Yi with an angry face next to him had to sigh and stir the fire with the thin wooden stick in his hand to make the broken temple warmer. In addition to them, there are many men, women and children in the temple who want to go to Kunlun to cultivate immortals, and who can't live in the inn and stoop to this broken temple.
"I just think that Kunlun is a holy land for cultivating immortals, but it has also been eroded by these mundane feelings, and it is hard to guarantee that it will not be an exaggeration. The man in Tsing Yi was a little worried.
Hearing this, Lan Qingruo, who was hugging her knees around the fire to keep warm, understood that these two people must not be used to seeing daylight things, and their hearts were uneasy.
Thinking of this, I'm afraid that many people in this broken temple can't understand why those children of immortal cultivators can skip the experience and go directly to the mountain to apprentice and practice. However, ordinary people have to step up to Kunlun step by step, and they can only get started through the experience of Guò Immortal Gate. They have cultivated since childhood, and they are no longer comparable to ordinary people, and the elders of his Japanese sect have already taken the lead in choosing disciples.
"These mortals are all divided into three, six, nine, and so on. The old man only hopes that he can go up to the fairy mountain this time, and have a glimpse of the sun and the moon, and he will have no regrets in this life. Lan Qingruo listened to the old man next to him, tilted his head curiously and smiled: "It's not the first time for the old man?"
Although the old man looked over the age of six, he was still in good spirits, and he didn't have much dullness when he smiled.
The girl laughed, this Kunlun Wonderland has been accepting apprentices for a hundred years, and it is a blessing for three lives that the old man can make up this opportunity. ”
"The old man just walks in the middle tomorrow, and we old men can always send you to Kunlun. A slightly wealthy young man smiled at the old man with a dry grass in his mouth. When he opened his mouth, several young and middle-aged men responded, and the scene suddenly overflowed with joy, and it was no longer cold.
Although after going to Kunlun, the sect needs to select outstanding candidates among them to get started, but this old man is not a threat at all. At such an age, even if he goes to Kunlun, he can't pass the trial, so he doesn't care about letting him take shortcuts, it's convenient.
"In this way, thank you very much. The old man was also polite, smiling and bowing his hand to everyone.
The weather outside has gradually entered late autumn, and the temple gate of the broken temple is in tatters and falls in the corner of the wall, and the night wind blows in without half a point of cover, but it is a little cold. Everyone was cold to each other, chatting around the fire, chatting about each other's origins and the scenery on the roadside, which was much hotter.
From the first day he crossed into this world, Lan Qingruo knew that he would probably stay here for the rest of his life, and he wanted to live this life in the village peacefully, but who knew that the style of painting changed too quickly, and farming instantly became mysterious. was first gnawed up by the vole fairy, and then made a widow by the fox spirit. In the past half a month, I went all the way from the mountain village to Kunlun, and I couldn't help but tremble when I first met the monster, but maybe I saw too much, and after adjusting my mentality, I gradually became strange.
This is the world where monsters enter randomly, you can't change it, you can only accept it, the fittest survive, and the unfit are eliminated. Since you have chosen to cultivate immortals, you will only encounter more and more powerful in the future.
Lan Qingruo felt that the surroundings suddenly quieted down from his contemplation, and he looked up puzzled to find that everyone's eyes were looking towards the corner, and following the light of his eyes, there was a small figure imprinted in his eyes. Leaning against the corner alone, the age of a child is not timid. The little pink face was indifferent, but a pair of amber eyes were like stars, which made her unconsciously a little confused.
Some people are born with a tendency to attract the attention of others, and it's no surprise that this little boy happens to be just that type. The eyes of the crowd followed, but there was no response, and a few began to whisper, while more sneered and turned a deaf ear.
Not far from the boy, a young woman, who seemed to be interested in him, crouched in front of him and opened the paper bag in her hand. "I'm hungry when I'm so late, right? I still have buns here, so if you don't dislike it, take it." ”
Lan Qingruo raised her right hand to support her head and looked at this scene, and said secretly: This girl is quite generous. You must know that Fengxian Town is overcrowded now, and wanting to buy food is tantamount to grabbing. Tomorrow I have to walk the Kunlun Mountain Road, the way is full of spirits and demons, not to mention, the road is still rugged and difficult, and the food that can replenish the body is worth 10,000 gold on the mountain road.
"Disliked. ”
Just when everyone thought he wouldn't speak, the boy coldly spat out two words, turned his face to the side and closed his eyes. It was an extremely arrogant word, but when it came out of his mouth, it seemed that the arrogant element was heavy, so that Lan Qingruo couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips.
The young woman suddenly looked embarrassed and blushed. But still place the paper bag at the boy's feet and return to its original position. The man with her whispered a few words, although they could not be heard really, but from his extremely displeased countenance, it was estimated that it would not be a good word.
The old man sighed slightly, and whispered: "I don't know whose child it is, but at a young age, he also came to look for immortals and asked." As he spoke, he leaned close to the haystack rising behind him, curled up in a ball and closed his eyes to rest.
There was not much wood by the fire, and it was weakened in a few moments. There was no extra firewood to add, Lan Qing could only find a sheltered grass pile to sit down, and planned to rest against the wooden pillar for a while, replenishing his body for tomorrow, although the grass pile was thick, he still felt panicked, and he couldn't sleep.
In a daze, I faintly heard voices from far and near:
"Youkai!There's a Youkai eating people!!"
"Help...... Help!"
“……”
Cries for help and wails came and went, and everyone in the ruined temple woke up almost at the same time, listening to the sound of the eaves and rocks breaking and falling to the ground outside, and the strange wind rattling the windows of the broken temple. Sensing that danger was approaching, everyone took up their weapons one after another.
The young woman nervously hid behind the pillar and pulled the placket of the person next to her, obviously frightened, and screamed softly in disbelief. "How can there be a demon at the foot of Kunlun Mountain?"
The man who was dressed in wealth held the long sword and said solemnly to the people beside him, "Brother Chen, why don't we go out and have a look." ”
The man in Tsing Yi nodded, obviously with this intention, although there were many people in this ruined temple, there were some old and young women and children after all. At this moment, there was a 'click' sound on the roof of the temple, and the tiles fell down one after another, as if huge stones were falling to the roof. The young woman screamed in horror and hid behind the man, "Brother, what is this sound?"
"It seems to be a cry of something. When the tiles fell, Lan Qingruo moved to the door and looked at the shadows reflected in the courtyard outside the door through the moonlight. The huge figure moved slowly on the rooftop, waving its wings to watch the trees not far away being swept away by the wind, breaking through them and flying far away. At this time, the monster must have been on top of their heads, and it would be difficult to run away from the realm of catching turtles in the urn.
As the tiles scattered everywhere, the roof also loomed the appearance of a monster, and the man in Tsing Yi raised his head sharply to attract everyone's attention. "On it, everybody be careful. ”
Hearing the monster overhead, many people in the ruined temple couldn't hold back the horror in their hearts, and the instinct for survival prompted them to run towards the outside of the temple, hoping to stay away from the monster. After the first group of people rushed out, the demon beast flapped its wings and swept everyone into the air, accompanied by the panicked screams of everyone, the other people in the broken temple looked at the crowd in the air, the aura in their bodies was slowly sucked dry by the demon beast, and finally flew to the roof of the temple and could no longer be seen, probably into the belly of the monster, all of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they did not dare to move forward half a step.
The rich man drew his long sword, frowned, and said solemnly: "It's not a way to go on like this, if the demon beast continues to make trouble, I'm afraid everyone in Fengxian Town will die here." Brother Chen, you and I must find a way to lead the demon beast to the Kunlun Enchantment. ”
Now that the Kunlun Enchantment has not been opened, most of the people on the Immortal Mountain do not know about it, if the demon beasts are led to the Kunlun Enchantment, it will definitely make the people in the Immortal Mountain aware of it, and others will have a glimmer of life.
Just as the two were about to walk towards the outside of the temple, the old man stepped forward to stop them, and his worry was revealed. "Going like this is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and the slightest mistake will kill you. ”
"The old man doesn't have to worry, the two of us have practiced for a while under the Maoshan Sect Mao Dao Chief's seat, and they are about to build a foundation. It won't be so bad. The man in Tsing Yi straightened his waist, but there was worry in his eyes.
"Yes, don't worry, old man! Brother Chen, let this evil obstacle try our brother's methods. The rich man rushed out first, and as soon as he reached the door, he jumped out of the air, so frightened that the nervous hearts of the other people in the temple jumped to their throats.
The distance was far away, and I couldn't see the rich man taking anything out of his waist and sealing his hands. In an instant, a trace of golden light attacked the roof of the temple, and the monster's body attacked, listening to the monster's angry roar, the temple instantly trembled. The mahogany pillars supporting the temple began to crack, and the ruined temple could no longer be left. The man in Tsing Yi turned to everyone and said, "Everyone leave the broken temple immediately and take shelter in a safe place." After speaking, he ignored everyone's reactions, and hurried out to support the rich and well-dressed man.
As soon as he left, the crowd that reacted began to rush out in a panic, and Lan Qingruo stood not far from the door, and just wanted to take a step when he tripped and fell backwards. In the next second, the monster was attracted by the people outside, and flew in the direction of the Kunlun enchantment, and when it exerted its strength, its tail swept towards the roof of the broken temple, and the wooden pillars broke apart and shattered, and the flying wood chips and debris hit the temple around, and the entire temple collapsed in half in an instant. Several people were overwhelmed by the fallen wooden pillars and the broken beams of the roof, and they swallowed their breath before they could let out a wail. Lan Qingruo was a little frightened when he looked at the only remaining wooden pillar beside him, and almost died here.
"Brother, brother, what's wrong with you?" the woman's frightened voice made the whole world collapse. Even if his strength was pitiful, he still tried to lift the wooden pillar up and rescue the brother below, but he was willing to do it, so he had to sit on the ground and cry helplessly, the voice was not loud but moving. "Brother, wake up...... Help, help!"
