152. Cui Wentao
Mt. Halla, one of the three most famous mountains in South Korea, is located on Jeju Island and is the highest mountain in South Korea at an altitude of 1,950 meters, which can be seen anywhere on Jeju Island. Because the mountain situation varies depending on the angle from which you can see it, and the seasons change and the color of the mountain changes, Hallasan Mountain is known as a mysterious mountain.
Ancient Chinese mythology has the three gods of Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou, and South Korea also has the legend that Mt. Kumgang is Penglai, Mt. Jirisan is the abbot, and Mt. Halla is Yingzhou.
Hallasan Mountain means "the mountain that can take down the Milky Way", and there are more than 360 small volcanoes formed by volcanic eruptions around the summit of the mountain, which is 500 meters in diameter due to volcanic eruptions.
Bailu Lake means a place where the gods and white deer play in the lower world.
Surrounded by various myths and legends since ancient times, Hallasan Mountain is also known as one of the sacred mountains of Korean Taoism.
Li Luwei walked on the path of Halla Mountain in casual clothes.
Hallasan is one of the famous tourist attractions in South Korea, a while ago, he also took Li Luyao's little girl to come once to enjoy the beautiful scenery here, but he didn't expect that it was only after such a short period of ten days, Li Luxian returned here again.
However, this time, Li Luwu is not here to travel.
Through Lee Jae-hyun's memory, I learned that Sun Xianhao's family was actually saved by a person named Cui Wentao, and that Cui Wentao lived in seclusion in this Halla Mountain.
This is a very remote corner of Halla Mountain, and it is hidden by rugged mountain roads and layers of woods.
Although Hallasan Mountain is not large, it is high and foggy, and it is easy to get lost and dangerous, so the Jeju Island government has specially planned a designated hiking path for tourists to enjoy, but it is clear that this road is not among those roads that have been planned.
Li Luwei shuttled between the trees, and the sunlight above his head could only sprinkle a little spot of light through the canopy, adding a bit of tranquility to the environment.
Since entering here, Li Luwei has felt a sense of tranquility, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and even the various evil spirits that fill the world can't help but fade a lot.
"It's no wonder that cultivators pay attention to the law of wealthy couples, and the law of wealthy couples has been deeply understood, there is no method of cultivation, and there is no way to step on the path of cultivation, there are no fellow practitioners, Taoist couples, and it is inevitable that it will be difficult to make an inch of progress by oneself behind closed doors, and it is not just a matter of listening to your words to read a book for ten years, and there are not enough resources for your own practice......" Li Luan couldn't help but think of his own world tree, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, "Well, it's really difficult to practice, but this place, it's the first time I feel it." “
"The world is full of evil qi, and the evil qi affects the mind of the cultivator, hindering people from attaining enlightenment, so there is the era of the end of the law, I didn't expect that here, the evil qi has been reduced so much, although the cultivation is also difficult, but it is much better than the outside, at least it gives people a glimmer of hope."
Feeling everything around him, Li Lu couldn't help but feel an urge to return to China immediately, he wanted to visit Master Huitong and their hermitage to see if it was the same as this Halla Mountain, which could be called a blessed place for cultivation in modern society.
However, this impulse was immediately suppressed by Li Luan, and the business was not done yet, and he was not in a hurry.
"Maybe this Cui Wentao is really a master?"
Li Luan has made some decisions in his heart, if this Cui Wentao is really the same as Master Huitong, he is a real master, then he doesn't mind that it will take his life, in modern society, there are too few people with pure hearts like this, which can't help but remind Li Lunan of Li Youmin who was overtaken by him.
I don't know how long I walked, but when I turned around the foot of a mountain, my front suddenly opened up.
This place is no longer part of Hallasan.
It's a valley full of grass and flowers, and in the distance, a small village with a dozen houses sits there, smoke curling, and the occasional child or two can be seen laughing and running.
Xanadu.
This was the first thought in Li Lu's mind.
Soon, Li Luwei came to the front of the village.
"Boy, who are you looking for?" He was greeted by an old man dressed in traditional Korean costume, with a rickety figure and a face full of wrinkles.
Li Luan looked at the old man in front of him, he sensed a little bit of energy fluctuation from his body, and his aura was very similar to the two Dao Masters of Qingfeng and Qingsong, but there were some differences, but it was far less powerful than the strength of the two Dao Masters, and it was the so-called Taoist internal strength, but with this kind of strength strength, he could surpass the newborn ghost if he died.
However, this aroused Li Luan's curiosity even more, because under Li Luan's perception, in this village, except for those children, everyone has this kind of power fluctuation, but the strength is different.
It's actually a village where the whole village cultivates.
"Me? I'm looking for Cui Wentao. Li Luanwu was straightforward, although he was curious in his heart, but these people were not in Li Luan's eyes, they were too weak.
"Oh? Actually looking for Uncle Cui? The old man's face was surprised, but immediately it became stinky again, "We don't entertain outsiders here, young man, go back." As he spoke, he waved his hand, with a posture of rushing people, and muttered quietly while rushing back, "I told the fifth uncle that I can't open this opening, I can't open this opening, look, it's troublesome." ”
Li Luan didn't get angry because of the old man's rudeness, because he didn't feel any malice from the old man, "Don't entertain outsiders? As far as I know, you must have taken in a few outsiders a while ago. The word "outsider" is very clear.
"What!?" The old man was startled when he heard this, and quickly took a few steps back with a movement that did not match his age at all, and looked at Li Lunan vigilantly.
"Oh? So you really know? ”
"Third uncle, the third aunt called you home for dinner."
A loud voice came from behind the old man, and a middle-aged man in a coarse linen suit came from a distance.
"Third uncle, what's wrong with you?" The middle-aged man came to the old man's side, looked at the old man's expression, and looked at Li Lu with an unkind expression, "Say, is it because of you!" ”
Li Luwei also felt the same power as the old man from this middle-aged man, but this middle-aged man was much stronger than the old man.
Li Lunan didn't say much, but looked at the old man with interest.
"Bingzhe, shut up!" The old man snorted, "He is that person." ”
"Who?" The middle-aged man named Bingzhe scratched his head in confusion, and suddenly, a silly and mellow breath came to his face.
"That's the person, the person your fifth grandfather said."
"What! The Great Devil! Bingzhe jumped up all of a sudden, pointing at Li Luan, with a panicked face.
"Stupid! Shut up! The old man slapped Bingzhe on the head, and his face was angry.
"Hah, interesting." Li Luwei was completely amused by this middle-aged man named Bingzhe, and he was not angry at being called my big devil.
"......" The old man also looked embarrassed.
"This ...... Juvenile. The old man has not lived in vain for so many years, and his cheek can still withstand the test, and he immediately regained his smiling face, "Look, we are all ordinary people here, small families......"
"I said this...... Uncle. Li Luwei directly interrupted the old man's words, "You should be very clear about my intention, I think, you also understand our rules." ”
In a word, the old man immediately closed his mouth, frowned, and his face was very ugly.
"Fifth uncle, otherwise, let's fight with him." Bingzhe came to the old man's side and whispered, don't you know, with his loud voice, several people can hear it very clearly.
Looking at Li Luan, who was playful, the old man suddenly looked embarrassed, and slapped Bingzhe's head again in anger, "You stupid, shut up for me!" ”
"What to do? What to do? The old man's face changed for a moment.
"Jin Xiu, let me come." An old man's voice sounded from behind the old man, and an old man with a sallow face and a look of a serious illness had just recovered from a serious illness walked out of the village.
Li Luwei had already sensed this old man, his strength could be said to be the strongest in the entire village, and he was almost comparable to Zen Master Guo, thinking about it, this old man was that Cui Wentao.
"Cui Wentao?"
"It's the old man." Cui Wentao came to Li Luan's face, and looked at him with a pair of eyes full of curiosity, "A hero is a boy." ”
"So, why don't you invite me in and sit?" Li Lu had a smile on his face.
"Yes, sir, please." Cui Wentao turned sideways and made a gesture of please.
"Fifth uncle!"
"Fifth grandfather!"
The old man named Jin Xiu and Byung-chul looked anxious.
"It's fine." Cui Wentao smiled and shook his head, signaled to be restless, and continued to lead Li Luwei into the village.
………………………………………………………………………………
Silently following behind Cui Wentao, Li Lu looked at the entire village carefully.
Just like Li Luwei perceived, in the whole village, all the villagers have cultivation, but unfortunately, they are not very strong, at most they are just healthy, and Li Luwei also found that in the whole village, there are mostly old people, followed by children, and there are few real adults at all, or not at all, because except for the man named Bingzhe just now, all the people who caught his eyes were old people and children.
Soon, the group came to the center of the village, which is a set of traditional Korean buildings, which are not large in scale and simple in decoration, but surrounded by greenery and chirping birds, there is a natural beauty.
The moment he stepped through the door, Li Lu was stunned, because he finally felt his curse, and he was being suppressed by a pure and natural but very powerful force.
Cui Wentao also noticed Li Yuwu's movements, and suddenly a wry smile appeared on his face.
Walking into the main hall of the room, the group sat down as guests and hosts.
Refreshments were served, and everyone sat quietly, and no one spoke.
The room was quiet, and the occasional sound of tea came to mind.
After enjoying the refreshments, Li Luwei was the first to speak.
"Although I have a good impression of this place, I have come to Xingshi to ask for sins this time." (To be continued.) )
