Uncle Zhou sat up slightly, his eyes fell on the Baishui Lake in the distance, and the thoughts in his eyes were a little complicated, as if he was walking into a long and mysterious memory.

When the three of them saw Uncle Zhou like this, their mood became serious unconsciously.

For a while, the courtyard became silent and solemn, a cold autumn wind blew from the north of the Diancang Mountain Valley, the wind passed through the rain, and the raindrops fell in a moment, which instantly increased the chill of autumn by many points, and there were many porcelain clay pots for boiling Chinese medicine in the courtyard of Uncle Zhou's house, and the raindrops fell on it and made a crisp sound.

Ying'er went to pick up some firewood and walked over, stuffed it into the hearth, and the heat emitted by the fire became bigger and dispelled some of the chill.

"I haven't heard the news about Qingxuan Dao Immortal Mountain for many years, twenty or thirty years ago, I often heard some rumors of Taoist masters subduing demons and eliminating demons, these years the world is peaceful, the common people live a stable life, and the things of demons and monsters rarely happen, and no one mentions it for a long time, and those things like cultivating immortals have become like legends. ”

"Grandpa, I heard you say that those things like cultivating immortals are true?" Sun Yuandao asked, in fact, he already believed in these things in his heart.

"Nature is true, the peace in this world makes people take it for granted, so few people care about how the world achieves this peace. If there were no protections from those immortal mountains, the evil demons would be making waves, how could there be peace in this world. The world has been peaceful for so many years, and it's time to make a mess, although I don't know what is happening now, but if what the Qingxuan Dao said from afar is true, it seems that this world is about to change. ”

"I don't understand what is the connection between the Dao of the World and the Selected Disciples of the Qing Xuan Dao?" asked Ying'er with a look of confusion as she tilted her head.

"I heard my father say that Taoist priests in troubled times go down the mountain to save the world, if they don't go to the troubled times, immortal cultivators will not easily go down to the immortal mountain......" Sun Yuandao interjected.

"I heard Uncle Wu Zi and Grandpa say that the people in the town are rumored that the demon king of the demon clan is about to come to the world, and the demons in the world are recovering......" Zhou Chu couldn't help but interject.

Uncle Zhou's expression became more serious, a cold wind blew, Ying'er shivered, her face showed a panicked look, and inadvertently reached out and grabbed Zhou Chu's arm tightly, Zhou Chu suddenly saw Ying'er grabbing his arm when he was panicking, he was stunned for a moment, and then felt a wave of heat rushing into his heart, and couldn't help but sit upright, he secretly glanced at Sun Yuandao, and saw that he didn't care about this detail and felt bored in his heart.

Uncle Zhou didn't care about what Sun Yuandao and Zhou Chu said, drank a cup of tea, and continued to say slowly:

"People who cultivate immortals pursue the spirit of cultivating in prosperous times and saving people in troubled times, if they don't go to the troubled times, they won't easily go down to the immortal mountain. You don't have to worry too much, judging from the fact that Qingxuan Dao is now starting to go down the mountain to select disciples, there is no real chaos in this world, and the Immortal Sect has sensed that the crisis is coming, so they began to prepare to deal with it, but in this way, it seems that it is only a matter of time before there will be a big war between the two worlds of immortals and demons in the future......"

"Grandpa, what kind of place is Qingxuan Dao?" Sun Yuandao couldn't wait to ask again.

"I've only heard about it, when I used to run a crude medicine shop in the town, I often heard some old people talk about things like the Three Realms, the Nine Realms, the Ten Lands, and the Immortal Mountain......

The words "Three Realms", "Nine Realms", "Ten Lands", and "Immortal Mountain" seemed to have some kind of power, which made Zhou Chu's heart move suddenly, and his body shuddered.

Ying'er's hand was still holding Zhou Chu's arm, so she immediately felt the cold shiver from Zhou Chu, so she said softly to Zhou Chu with concern: "Your clothes are too thin, you can sit on the edge of the stove." ”

After Ying'er finished speaking, she gave up the position she was sitting in, and Zhou Chu sat down unceremoniously, Sun Yuandao next to him was a little unhappy when he saw this, but at this time they had no intention of doing this, and hurriedly chased after Uncle Zhou to let him continue.

"Grandpa, tell us about these things. Sun Yuandao pleaded.

"The so-called Three Realms refers to the three worlds of the fairy mountain, the human world, and the magic capital, all things are made of man, man is the source of the three worlds, a person is conceived by the essence of all things in the universe, from the beginning of birth to this world, most people are mediocre and quiet to spend their lives, but there are very few people who are talented and intelligent with immortal fate, and he is upright and kind, with benevolence, he can become a Taoist, and then the Taoist master can finally become an immortal through his own efforts to become an immortal into the immortal mountain to be an immortal, and an immortal can cultivate to become the supreme immortal. In the same way, if a person does things and becomes a monster and becomes a beast after death, if this beast is demonic and vicious, he can fall into the demon capital and become a demon, and the evil ghost can cultivate the demon, and the demon can cultivate into the demon venerable, from the demon venerable, the demon, the demon, the evil ghost, the human, the good man, the Taoist, the immortal to the supreme immortal, there is a total of nine in the middle, so it is called the ninefold ......"

When Uncle Zhou said this, his expression became serious and gloomy, he has always been a cheerful and lively old naughty boy on weekdays, and it is rare to have such a serious time.

Ying'er was a little worried when she saw her grandfather like this, she didn't want her grandfather to worry so much, so she stopped him from continuing, and said, "Grandpa, I don't understand what you said, and it has nothing to do with us, so it's time to rest and rest after saying so much." ”

Uncle Zhou really felt a little dry when he heard his granddaughter say this, Ying'er poured him a cup of hot tea again and brought it to his mouth, Uncle Zhou smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing Ying'er's well-behaved and cute appearance, Uncle Zhou suddenly felt that what he just said was a bit alarmist, and it seemed a little inappropriate to tell these things to such innocent children, so he had to stop talking and let Sun Yuandao and Zhou Chu drink tea.

Zhou Chu and Sun Yuandao were fascinated by what they heard, and suddenly saw that Uncle Zhou was very disappointed when he stopped talking, where could he bear it, and begged again and again: "Grandpa, what are the ten places and the immortal mountain? ”

"You're halfway there, don't you whet our appetite, so let's tell us all......"

......

......

Uncle Zhou couldn't help the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the two of them, so he continued, and said: "The so-called ten places refer to the fact that the human world where we are located is invisibly divided into ten places, and each place has an immortal mountain to maintain the order of the Three Realms, and the immortal sect on the immortal mountain that shelters our place is Qingxuan Dao." However, speaking of which, although it is called the ten immortal mountains, it is not the ordinary mountains that we ordinary people see, the immortal mountains are outside the Three Realms, ordinary people are not visible at all, and only after becoming a Taoist can they see the immortal mountains and climb the immortal mountains, which is the so-called ten lands and immortal mountains. ”

"In other words, Qingxuan Dao is on such an immortal mountain, but if it is just an ordinary mortal, even before finding the location of the immortal mountain, it will not be seen at all. Zhou Chu asked himself in a low voice.

Uncle Zhou nodded: "I guess it should be so, after all, I only heard it from others, and I haven't seen anyone who has really been to Xianshan, so I don't ......know anything."

After listening to what Uncle Zhou said, the three of them had different reactions: Ying'er only felt like she was half-believing and skeptical, and she was more worried about how terrible it would be if those rumors were true, and Sun Yuandao's heart was full of expectations and sighs - these were exactly what his heart yearned for, and he must go to Immortal Mountain and enter the Immortal Sect......

And Zhou Chu was a little obsessed and dazed, and the scenes that Uncle Zhou said kept coming to his mind: he seemed to see a fairy mountain surrounded by white clouds and majestic fairy spirits, the fairy mountain was towering in the sky, and many immortals in Tsing Yi were practicing immortal skills in a magnificent circle on the top of the mountain......

"Then how can you become a Taoist master? Zhou Chu blurted out.

"You're so stupid, didn't grandpa just say that as long as a person is upright and kind, and has benevolence in his heart, he can become a Taoist master......" Ying'er couldn't help laughing when she saw Zhou Chu's stupid face and knew that he was going to be stupid again.

"Ying'er, you are only half right, you forgot the first half of what your grandfather said, that is the important thing - fairy fate. Sun Yuandao added.

"Yuandao got to the point, if a person doesn't have a fairy fate, even if he tries hard, it is in vain, only a very few talents have a fairy fate, and this fairy fate is destined......" Uncle Zhou finished speaking, looked at the three of them carefully, and thought in his heart Which of the three of them might really have a fairy fate.

"Then how can I know if there is a fairy fate?" Ying'er didn't care too much about what her grandfather said, but she was also interested unconsciously, and asked with a smile.

"I don't know about this, since it's a fairy fate, it's definitely not something that ordinary people can know. If there is a half-immortal person in the village, I think I can only choose from the three of you......" Uncle Zhou laughed, he also thought so in his heart, with his sixty or seventy years of life experience, these three people can be regarded as somewhat talented.

"I must go to the town, do you want to come with me at the beginning of the week?" we can also be companions...... Sun Yuandao remembered the reason why he called Zhou Chu in front of the grocery store just now, and hurriedly asked him.

Zhou Chu didn't write that Sun Yuandao shouted that he was actually for this matter, and his heart was full of emotion.

"I ...... Immortal fate is not something ordinary people have...... I'm afraid I don't have ......" Zhou Chu was not polite, but honestly said what he thought.

"Don't be so unconfident, let's go together when the time comes, don't blame me for talking too arrogantly, just like grandpa said, our village belongs to you, me and Sister Ying'er The three people have the highest talent, maybe it is possible and unknown......"

Hearing Sun Yuandao put himself and him side by side, Zhou Yuan's heart was hot again, his nose was slightly sour, and he seemed to be about to shed tears, but he held back.

"I'm afraid that grandpa won't agree...... I'm sure you can ......."

Ying'er saw Zhou Chu talking and spitting out, and comforted him: "You have always been so unconfident, what is there to be afraid of, by the way, doesn't there happen to be a Taoist chief in our village, let's go and ask him what is Xianyuan in the afternoon......"

A sentence reminded Zhou Chu and asked, "Grandpa, is this Taoist also coming down from Immortal Mountain?"

"Haha, this Taoist is invited from the Baiyun Mountain Taoist Temple in the north of the town, he is just a Taoist priest in the secular world, although he knows some spells, they are all small skills of carving insects, and those mysterious Taoist masters on the fairy mountain cannot be compared......"

Zhou Chu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, yes, such a person was not the same as the Taoist masters he imagined in his heart.

"Grandpa, how much do you know about Qingxuandao?" Sun Yuandao continued to ask.

Uncle Zhou was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a scorching thunder, and a large black lead cloud rolled in the distance, and the sky darkened. The depressed sense of panic was back in the village, Uncle Zhou became irritable in his heart, and he had no intention of talking about it anymore, and the three of them also knew that it was not time to talk about this topic again, so they didn't ask anymore.

Uncle Zhou suddenly thought of the matter of the village chief and the Taoist chief, and hurriedly said: "We just have to talk here, and I don't know how your grandfather and the Taoist chief are doing in the ancestral hall now, hurry up and cook some decanting soup and send it over." ”

The three of them heard their grandfather say this before they remembered this serious matter, Zhou Chu quickly fanned the fire, Ying'er took a black porcelain medicine pot from the shelf under the eaves and placed it on the stove, grandpa entered the house with herbs for decanting soup, and after a while the decanting soup was boiled, Zhou Chu filled the decanting soup, and the three of them walked towards the ancestral hall together.
