It is said that more than 2,000 years ago, an old man who rode a green ox upside down walked out of Black Mountain, instructed my Lingyun Sect ancestor, and then rolled away from east to west, this is the saint's westward journey. ”

There was a burst of exclamation in the crowd, standing at the sect of the Lingyun Sect, hearing a miscellaneous disciple introduce the legend of the saint two thousand years ago, many miscellaneous servants couldn't help but sigh that they were born heroic.

It was a swarthy young man in the crowd with a disapproving look on his face.

The young man was dark-skinned, looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, carried a flat pole on his shoulders, two buckets hung from the flat pole, and a clean handyman shirt, which was worn on the boy's body, and matched with the clarity of his eyes, revealing a sense of cleverness.

"Nonsense......" The young man sighed, his name is Liu Jun, to be precise, his soul does not belong to this world, but an archaeology intern from the earth, a few days ago he followed the old professor of the institute to a newly discovered underground palace, who knows that he came here inexplicably.

When he crossed over, he realized that not everyone was so lucky.

Ten days ago, he became the new owner of this body, and became a miscellaneous disciple of the Spirit Yun Sect, which can be regarded as mixed up until now.

At this moment, hearing the boasting of the miscellaneous disciples not far away, Liu Jun shook his head helplessly.

Although Lao Tzu came to this world after sending a letter to Guguan in the west, and then went all the way to the west, it was unfathomable.

But it's not that simple.

Hangu Pass, Guan Yin, the official guarding the customs, was good at observing astronomy when he was young, loved to read ancient books, and had profound cultivation.

One night, gazing at the starry sky above the independent building, I suddenly saw the purple clouds in the east gathering, which was 30,000 miles long, shaped like a flying dragon, rolling from east to west, and said to myself: "The purple gas comes from the east for 30,000 miles, and the saint travels west through here." The green ox slowly carried the old man, hiding and hiding the vitality. ”

Guan Yin had already heard of Lao Tzu's name, and thought to himself that it could be Lao Tzu's future, so he sent people to sweep the road for forty miles, and burned incense on the road to welcome the saint.

On the afternoon of July 12, when the sun was setting in the west, Guanghua was shining eastward, and Guan Yin saw an old man riding a green ox upside down.

The old man's hair was as white as snow, his eyebrows were drooping his sideburns, his ears were hanging down his shoulders, his beard was hanging down his knees, his face was red and plain, and he was simple and clean. Guan Yin looked up to the sky and sighed: "I am fortunate to have seen a saint!"

This is the legendary story about Lao Tzu, so Liu Jun laughed at the nonsense of the miscellaneous disciple, and Hangu Guan was said to be the black mountain behind the Lingyun Sect.

According to the legend, Guan Yin led Lao Tzu to the official residence, invited Lao Tzu to sit down, burned incense and performed the disciple's salute, and pleaded: "Sir is the great sage of today! Now you will live in seclusion and be unkind, and it will be difficult for those who seek advice to find it! Why not write your sage wisdom as a book? Although Guan Yin is shallow, I hope that Mr. Dai will pass it on to future generations, and it will be passed on through the ages and benefit all generations." ”

Subsequently, Lao Tzu took the rise and fall of the dynasty, the success or failure of the people, and the safety and misfortune of the people as a reference, traced its source, and wrote two articles, a total of 5,000 words, and then left Hangu Pass.

"Legends are just legends after all, this miscellaneous service is also absurd, where can anyone attract purple qi to the east and become a saint!"

Liu Jun shook his head and laughed at himself, he was purely here to work, why bother with this, pack up his mind at the moment, leave everyone, and go to the Black Mountain behind the Lingyun Sect.

Black Mountain, as the name suggests, is a pitch-black mountain that is hidden among the barren mountains, giving people an eerie and cold feeling.

The moment he saw Montenegro, Liu Jun's eyes showed a gleam, and after he and the old professor entered the underground palace that day, they inexplicably appeared in Montenegro.

Inside the Black Mountain, they encounter a strange black fog.

The black mist swept over the black mountains like a tide, and the old professor was around him, his face quickly aged and shriveled, and his hair continued to fall out, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Before Liu Jun could find a way, he was shocked to find that the changes in the old professor had not stopped.

After the body dried up, the old professor's skin was further diluted, and it didn't take long for only a layer of flesh to remain.

Immediately afterwards, the clothes on the old professor's body began to rot, and a gust of wind blew, which turned into powder, and only the white bones of Sen were left at the scene.

The old professor, who was laughing and talking about life half an hour ago, became a pile of white bones in the blink of an eye, and at that moment, a chill rose in Liu Jun's heart.

The old professor was as kind to him as a mountain, and Liu Jun couldn't let the old professor die without a place to bury, so at this moment, he tried to enter the Black Mountain and bury the old professor on the spot.

This was the tenth attempt he had made to enter the Black Mountain since he came to the Spirit Yun Sect.

Passing through the jungle along the way, Liu Jun unknowingly came to the burial ground where the black fog was, and there were graves aligned in the boundless open space here.

Each tomb was no more than two feet in size, one after the other, stretching from one end to the distance, I don't know how far, I don't know how many.

The wind gusted over the grave, and the air was filled with an endless smell of vicissitudes.

Liu Jun's scalp was troublesome, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he found the old professor's body and dug a pit on the spot.

And at the moment when Liu Jun squatted down and dug a pit, two figures appeared in the burial ground, one old and one young.

"Child, do you know the origin of my Lingyun Sect?" the old man saw Liu Jun's figure and asked the young man next to him softly.

When the young man heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered slightly, and then said:

According to legend, two thousand years ago, an old man who rode a green ox upside down from Montenegro walked by, and when he passed through the village, he saw a childish boy with a purple mang, so he passed down the Taoism, and then went all the way to the west. ”

"This childish child was taught the Tao by the old man, devoted himself to cultivation, and when he became an adult, he opened a sect and founded a sect of cultivating immortals called Lingyun Sect. ”

Liu Jun didn't hear the conversation between the two, otherwise he would have exclaimed, whether the first half of the young man's sentence is true or false cannot be verified, but the second half of the sentence is not bad at all.

"Haha, you know a lot, what's next?"

"Since then, over the past two thousand years, after the development of the sect masters of the past dynasties, the Lingyun Sect has not declined, but has developed rapidly, and unconsciously has grown into one of the several major immortal cultivation sects in the Tang Dynasty, not only dominating the entire Black Mountain alone, but also dividing the Lingyun Sect within a radius of thousands of miles into the sphere of influence of the Lingyun Sect. ”

As the old man asked, the young man spoke up respectfully.

The old man's wise eyes glanced at Liu Jun who was not far away, and asked, "Look at this young man, he seems to be dressed ordinarily, but if you look closely, you can carefully observe his behavior." ”

"This person behaved strangely, and he didn't have the demeanor of a disciple of the Spirit Yun Sect, but he was incompatible with this heaven and earth. ”

The young man was puzzled, as an immortal cultivator, he had seen it thoroughly as early as the moment Liu Jun appeared in Black Mountain.

"What you see is only the surface, but you can't see the truth through Yuan Ying. ”

"Yuan Ying?"

The old man's words shocked the young man, and he couldn't care about being rude, so he hurriedly asked, "Sir, have you reached the realm of Yuan Ying?"

"I have been practicing in this burial ground for several years, and not long ago I stepped into Yuanying, but unfortunately...... Alas!"

The old man's voice was proud, but more regretful.

"Sir, it's really gratifying that you have stepped into Yuanying, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, how many people have failed to reach this realm. ”

At this time, even the tone of the young man's speech was full of respect.

Yuan Baby, cultivating the Yuan Shen, manifesting the baby, after the Yuan Infant successfully cultivated, it is the body of a half-immortal, but in the past thousand years, the cultivation of immortals has declined, the genius has withered, and no one can step into the realm of the Yuan Baby.

"Cultivating immortals is mysterious, I'm just getting started, I think this young man is incompatible with this heaven and earth, but there is a creation. ”

Liu Jun didn't know that he was being talked about by the two, so he picked up the bones of the old professor, walked to a grave, dug the pit with his hands, carefully put the old professor's bones into it, and then buried it.

"Hmm, what happened to the tomb of Confucius......

Liu Jun suddenly found that on the tombstone next to him, there were four big characters engraved "Tomb of Kongqiu".

In the history of the earth, Confucius in his later years returned to Lu and focused on the sorting of ancient books, and was later hidden on the shore of Surabaya, Zigong guarded the tomb for six years, Liu Jun appeared in a cold sweat is that Lao Tzu and Confucius clearly appeared in the history of the earth, why did they appear in this world.

"Oh my God, what's wrong with this world......? The saints of yesteryear are all dead, and they are all ...... Buried here?" Liu Jun's expression changed miserably, with an incredible look on his face.

"But...... These saints...... How can you be buried in this world?"

Liu Jun touched the tombstone with both hands, he was very curious about the tomb of Confucius, and his index finger touched the four quaint characters, and a breath of endless vicissitudes of time emanated from it.

Immediately after that, it seemed that a lot of information was transmitted to Liu Jun's mind through the tombstone.

At this moment, Liu Jun was overwhelmed and passed out.

And at the moment when Liu Jun was unconscious, the light of the simple and vicissitudes of the tombstone rose sharply, reaching straight into the sky, guiding the distant stars at a certain moment, such a huge light did not attract the attention of the old man and the young man, and it seemed that he did not see it.

That distant star, shining brightly, surrounded Liu Jun's body, and some strange-shaped words floated into his body, one after another......

......

After a long time, the heavens and the earth turned into darkness, and there was only a pale yellow cloth, which in the darkness, emitted a soft yellow light.

With gusts of yin wind whistling by, Liu Jun slowly sat up from the ground and rubbed his swollen head.

"The Shroud?"

Liu Jun's eyes froze, because the shroud under his feet was stained with a little scarlet blood, but at this time, these blood stains seemed to have never dried up, showing a wet state.

Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period, after the death of the saint, the body was immortal and murderous.

As an archaeology intern, he had heard of the Shroud, and after the death of ordinary people, almost no one used the shroud.

And at this moment, the shroud under his feet has been slightly yellowed, indicating that it has been a long time, so these bloodstains should have passed many years, but the bloodstains on them are actually scarlet and wet, what is the origin?

After his head regained clarity, Liu Jun suddenly found that there were more earth words in his mind, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead, if someone inexplicably appeared in his mind, he would definitely be frightened, and as he carefully accepted the words, Liu Jun's mind gradually returned to clarity, until after that, his eyes flashed.

"Nine lines?"

Those words turned out to be nine lines about cultivation, if it weren't for Liu Jun coming to this world inexplicably, he would definitely not believe it, but these words appeared in his mind inexplicably, which showed that it was magical.

Seeing that there was no one at this time, Liu Jun was not in a hurry to leave, so he simply sat cross-legged next to the tombstone and carefully looked through the nine lines in his mind.

The burial ground, the wind gusted, under the pale yellow light of the shroud, Liu Jun sat cross-legged, sometimes opened his eyes, sometimes closed again, the temperature around him gradually decreased, but Liu Jun was unaware of it, silent in some kind of cultivation

When shining on Liu Jun, he slowly stood up and stretched his body.

Last night, he sat quietly under this tombstone for a night, and according to the cultivation method of the Nine Lines, when it was almost dawn, he finally felt a trace of air flow in his body.

This air flow was cold, and it quickly swam through the body, although it did not dissipate after a full circle, it still made Liu Jun very excited.

Subsequently, according to the cultivation method of the Nine Lines, he insisted on a hundred breaths, and at the moment of reaching one hundred breaths, the air flow in his body, which was twice as large as before, suddenly grew out, like a trickle, and quickly swam in Liu Jun's body.

Liu Jun gained experience, and hurriedly followed the cultivation method and silently memorized several routes in his body.

Soon, the air flow in his body followed the route in his body according to Liu Jun's thoughts, and as he persisted for longer and longer, Liu Jun noticed a trace of cool air coming out of all parts of his body, like a drop of water, blending into the trickle, making the trickle bigger and bigger.

Until the end, it turned into a stream, and with a complete swim, Liu Jun's whole body trembled, as if clearing the clouds, an unprecedented light feeling appeared on his body, and layers of dirt continued to secrete along the pores.

And the stream in his body has always existed, and it has not dissipated as before, Liu Jun opened his eyes, and his eyes were clearer.

"A layer of condensation, this is the manifestation of a layer of condensation. Liu Jun couldn't help but be overjoyed, rolled up the shroud, and headed in the direction of the Lingyun Sect.

Today it was his turn to carry water, he didn't go back last night, presumably everyone should be carrying water by the river at this time, Liu Jun didn't dare to delay, patted the dust on his buttocks, and walked quickly towards Lingyun Sect.

"You're quite lazy, give Grandpa Long a roll!"

Back at the Lingyun Sect, a group of miscellaneous disciples were walking towards the river, and when they saw Liu Jun, a burly man wearing a miscellaneous shirt at the head, he glanced at Liu Jun fiercely.

"I'm sorry, there was something wrong last night, and I was delayed. Liu Jun said sincerely with an apologetic face.

"From today onwards, you will carry an extra hundred loads of water to me every day, otherwise Grandpa Long will tear you apart alive. The burly man spoke fiercely.

"Why?" As the burly man spoke, Liu Jun only felt a fierce intent rushing to his face, looked at the other party's burly body, and said: "The task given by the sect to the miscellaneous service department is one hundred loads of water per person per day. ”

"The extra 100 loads of water are for Lao Tzu. The burly man snorted coldly.

Liu Jun was silent, the thoughts in his mind were spinning rapidly, he had just come to this world, he was bullied, he was unwilling, but the other party was burly, he was thin and absolutely unable to resist, when he was hesitating, he suddenly saw the shroud in his hand, and secretly said in his heart that he had not used the shroud, and he didn't know what the effect would be, so he had to try it.
