Chapter 04 | In the shadow of the mountain, there are beasts like sheep
[On the top of the northern ice field, there is a mountain named "Fu and", according to legend, the sun and the moon all rise from this, take the meaning that mortals can never reach, there are Chen Hui and Song Jiao two people living in the mountain, feathering and soaring, only leaving the book of "Tai Sheng's Five Qi", which has been handed down for 10,000 years, and is a classic that future generations of immortal cultivators must learn.
Jiang Shiwan, Chen Hui, Song Jiao's disciples, according to his master's lifelong study of the five qi, set up a sect in the mountain, called "Chongshu Pavilion", widely recruited monks, flourished for a while, passed to the fifteenth generation, the head of the competition caused a drastic change in the sect, the first disciple Ji Changbai and his junior brother Liu Wuxian killed each other, and finally Liu Wuwu and most of the elders in the pavilion defected from the master, and went south to Helai Mountain to stand on their own "Lai Sect", the Lai Lai line has continued to this day, and has become the first major faction of cultivating immortals in the southern paradise. γ
- Fragment of "If You Don't Become a Demon, You Can't Live".
On the third peak of Helai Mountain, "Floating Kite", the east sun is rising, and yin and yang are beginning to open.
Although he has watched the sunrise for nearly two months, Xianzhiyu will still feel the majestic momentum of the glorious light driving away the waning moon of the silver star.
"Quack!" the duck he was carrying fluttered its wings in agreement.
"It's all about to be eaten, what's it called, anyway, you won't be able to see tomorrow's sun, hurry up and take a look at today." With that, he lifted the duck and shook it in the direction of the sunrise.
"Quack ......" a certain duck gave up fluttering like a fate.
On the plank road, Xianzhiyu carried a basket of celery and potatoes on his back, carrying a live duck in his hand, but the pace was much blower than when he went up the mountain at the beginning.
Outer disciples, to put it bluntly, are brick-moving disciples, running errands and doing everything, but Xian Zhiyu and Qin Yanxiu follow the worry-free mother-in-law, and there are a lot less chores. Qin Yan Xiu immediately advanced to the third level of qi refining under the carefree order, plus he recognized a lot of spiritual herbs, so he helped cultivate a small medicine garden;
However, Mother-in-law Wuwu didn't say anything, but just threw him a secular body refining method secret book, which is the legendary light gong secret book, and told him to practice diligently. Compared with the abstract philosophical works of "Taisheng Five Qi", this secret book is simply illustrated and explained in detail, and the foolish teaching has won the heart of Xianzhiyu, and the only drawback may be that the name is a bit pit-
Downwind.
If Xianzhiyu just cried and laughed when he heard the name at first, then when his mother-in-law told him to go down the mountain to change some vegetables and meat after he learned it, he was completely messy in the wind.
Isn't it too naΓ―ve to think that people who can lose weight without eating if they cultivate immortals, of course, Xianzhiyu was also one of them.
Even if it is time to build the foundation, he still needs to knock on the Bigu Dan, not to mention the Qi refining period, but this has nothing to do with Xianzhiyu, because he is still an ordinary person, and he has to eat and drink Lasa no matter what. Every three days, he would take the surplus elixir after handing in Xianzhiyu to the small mountain gate to exchange for food, so that he often went up and down the mountain, and accidentally gave the "express decision" to the practice.
Of course, he also had a potato in his hand and tried to persuade Qin Yanxiu to help plant it next to the medicine garden, so that he could be self-sufficient. It's a pity that the condition is to find something that he can't possibly find.
"Look for death. Qin Yanxiu, who had always been calm, almost pinched the jade shovel in his hand into two sections.
Then he gave up and honestly moved bricks.
"Quack~"
"Shut up, I don't want to be comforted by a duck. β
"Quack, quack, quack!" The duck in his hand suddenly struggled violently, and kept screaming towards the unexplored mountain road on the right side of Xianzhiyu.
The sunny side of the crane comes to the mountain, gathers the spirit through the sky, there is the waterfall of Tianze, each main hall is located on the sunny side, and the popularity is also the most prosperous; and the yin side of the mountain, the strange trees grow wildly, there are many birds and spirit beasts, it has not been able to be explored, it is a good place for many disciples to experience and explore.
The inner disciples who are accepted under each peak seat all live in the cave mansion where the spiritual energy is abundant on the yang side of the peak mountain, and the outer disciples like Xianzhiyu can only live in the corner of the mountainside close to the yin of the mountain.
At this moment, the wild duck in Xianzhiyu's hand is screaming in the depths of the mountain next door to the road he must go back to the hut, to be honest, if he goes in this direction to see what the situation is, it must be a dead act, but the curiosity of the damn and the egg has driven him in, and when he reacts, he has been shrouded in the mist in the mountain forest.
"Hey, Brother Duck, where do you want to go?" Xianzhiyu muttered as he held the wild duck in his arms and looked at the towering giant woods around him.
The wild duck struggled in the crook of his small arm, and its long neck kept stretching out into the deep mountains and old forests, as if something was calling to it, which made it very excited.
A man and a duck listened to the rustle of the leaves in the long wind of the mountain stream for a long time, and did not see anything unusual, and was about to turn back, Xianzhiyu suddenly smelled the fragrance wafting in the air.
It was the smell of a plant, faint like a lanzhi, faint, but it swam from the distance of his sight, burrowed into his nose, soaked into his heart and lungs, and filled his body. At that moment, he seemed to have realized what it meant to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, so that the meridians resonated with it, and he was so greedy that he almost opened the pores of his body to breathe in this refreshing dark fragrance.
Just when Xianzhiyu was in a trance, a rapid "click" sound rolled up the fragrance towards him, looking at it, as if it was a deer, and like a goat, light brown fur mixed with white swirls, as the beast ran closer and closer, Xianzhiyu found that it should have eyes only two white lines, three pairs of ears under the horns on the top of the head, when it kicked high in the run, Xianzhiyu saw its nine tails and a pair of slender eyes on both sides of the back.
"I dripping god and God......" was stunned at this time, and quickly pulled the wild duck's fart and ran away.
Unexpectedly, this monster was still following him closely, Xianzhiyu was so frightened that he ran all the way, and ran all the way with all his strength, and the duck in his hand was messy and screamed all the way. Unfortunately, it didn't last long before he caught up, but as if the monster was also running for his life, it jumped high with its front hooves and stepped on his shoulder, and he disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Xianzhiyu screamed miserably, "let's chirp" and fell into the mud, the potatoes in the back basket rolled to the ground, and the wild duck with tied legs fell beside him and flaped its wings and struggled in chaos, the scene was very messy and miserable.
"You stinky duck, if you scream again, I'll pluck out all your hair!" "Xian Zhiyu, who was lying on the ground like a dismemberment, roared angrily.
"Quack. "A duck flapped its wings, as if to blame me.
"Hey, I'm really going to be kicked halfway, the immortal cultivator dies before he becomes a body, it's all because you stinky duck is okay to lead the way, I have to roast you and eat it today......"
"Why would you sleep here and quarrel with a duck. β
The sudden sound above his head startled Xian Zhiyu and almost bit his tongue, and he tried to look up from the mud and look up at a pair of feet in front of him, just meeting Qin Yanxiu's eyes that seemed to be smiling. Shame on him, he just wants to jump off the cliff again with that stupid duck.
"Do you believe me when I said I came for a walk," he struggled to stand up with Qin Yanxiu's outstretched arm, and Xianzhiyu said helplessly: "I followed this stinky duck in, but I was kicked by a sheep monster, and I fell here half-dead." β
"Monkey, six-eared and nine-tailed sheep body, its eyes are on its back. A kind of spiritual grass I was looking for recently was a companion grass near its nest, and after guarding it for a few days, I finally lured it out, but I didn't expect it to run so fast that I couldn't catch up at all," Qin Yanxiu carried the basket of Xianzhiyu's back, slowly picked up the potatoes and celery scattered all over the place, and said unhurriedly after taking it on his back: "Go back first, I'll think about trapping it next time." β
Xianzhiyu nodded, grabbed the stupid duck, looked in the direction where the duck disappeared, and asked casually, "Don't you really follow this smell and chase it over?" β
"What smell?" Qin Yanxiu was slightly stunned.
"The fragrance is very quiet, like a plant, anyway, it's not the smell of sheep's body, or I can't stand it. Xianzhiyu was asked inexplicably, but Qin Yanxiu's surprised expression was not bluffing, the more he talked, the more he felt weak, and finally he was so weak that he was silent, "You won't ...... Didn't smell anything?"
Qin Yanxiu looked in the direction of Xianzhiyu and shook his head: "I can only feel a faint aura, but there is no taste, but there is no taste, but some heaven and earth aura born from nature, it is not impossible for the perception method to return to the five senses, just like ...... Dolphin the same. β
Speaking of this, he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, like the ripples pulled by the mountain wind between the leaves, with a joyful innocence.
"What's it in Duobaotun?"
"Nothing. Throwing off the idle island and walking forward, it seems that he is smiling even harder.
"Hey, isn't it right to base your happiness on someone else's pain? Xianzhiyu pulled a body of mud, carrying a quacking stupid duck, and was laughed by Qin Yanxiu so bad that he lost his temper, I didn't expect this thing to be wilted, and he likes to tease boring people when he has nothing to do, what is Duobaotun, the name of the place or the name of the person?
In the end, the two of them decided to follow the aura to search again, Qin Yanxiu was mainly distressed by the few hundred-year-old spirit grass used to lure out this beast, Xianzhiyu, just wanted to join in the fun.
It's just that the two of them didn't realize that where they passed, Lin Jian's originally normal mist would suddenly twist, and behind them, it slowly condensed and swayed, and finally suddenly dispersed, and the originally clear figures of Xian Zhiyu and Qin Yan Xiu disappeared into this mysterious mist in an instant.
Xianzhiyu looked up, and found that the flickering and broken sunlight in the branches was getting dimmer and dimmer, and the sight was getting darker and darker, and it was only when he really reacted that he found that it was not yet noon, and the sky in the forest was completely as dark as late as night.
Strange things happen every year, especially today.
"Qin ...... Qin Yanxiu, am I blind or is it suddenly dark?"
"It's me who was careless," Qin Yanxiu frowned, and said with some annoyance, "We strayed into the phantom array. β
Xianzhiyu now just wants to kneel down and shout that I'm wrong, I just want to buy food quietly. Under the lessons of his predecessors, he still did not give in and risked his life, and finally sacrificed his precious knee.
