Chapter 3: Obsession and First Love

In the desolate space, the bronze ancient sword hung horizontally in the sky, it seemed to be waiting for its master, and it seemed to be forever silent there, motionless.

"I can't make it out, those words and patterns are too old, as if they came from the Ancient Immortal Realm."

In the Tiangong space station, several astronauts fell into a blind spot of knowledge. The words and patterns engraved on the ancient sword were scanned by the smart chip, and no relevant documents were found.

It's amazing discovery and uncharted territory. This shows that the Starry Sky Ancient Sword has nothing to do with the history of civilization on Earth. This is an extraterritorial civilization from the depths of the universe.

"At an epoch-making moment, something has to be collected."

Several astronaut elites can be sure that the Starry Sky Ancient Sword is very mysterious and ancient, coming from an unknown civilization.

At this moment, in the universe where cold and darkness coexist, human beings do not seem to be alone.

"I have to go, this task is too dangerous."

"No.... Captain, I'll go. ”

An epoch-making moment, the first contact with an extraterrestrial civilization. After heated discussions and voting, several astronauts finally decided to send an astronaut to step on the ancient sword to find out.

The ancient sword is really too big, covering the sky and the sun, the sword is three hundred zhang long, and the sword is thirty zhang wide. The other side is unknown, and if you go, you may fall into a life crisis.

"Wang Xiaolin, are you not listening to orders, Lao Tzu is the captain, I have the final say!"

For this reason, several astronaut elites rushed to go alone, unwilling to see their comrades die in the starry sky in the face of danger. A few people even began to curse with tears in their eyes.

"Lao Tzu is the captain..."

"Your captain is amazing.... This dangerous mission must be carried out by me. ”

"Lao Tzu is single, if he dies, he will die.... You still have wives and children....."

Tiangong space station, every three years, the space center will send nine astronauts to replace the shift. In order to manage the space station more efficiently, the nine astronauts will select the captain based on their usual training results.

“..... Obey orders, if you mess around again, wait for punishment! ”

In the end, after repeated words and warnings from the captain, the control room fell silent. Although they didn't want the captain to go in person, this was an epoch-making moment, and for the first time in human history, the ancient sword of an extraterrestrial civilization was discovered, and something had to be done.

"Captain..."

"Wang Xiaolin, you have the most bullshit, shut up Lao Tzu, here I have the final say, open the hatch for me!"

“……”

In the silence of several astronauts, the hatch opened, and the captain grabbed the handrail and walked outside the space station.

In the lonely and cold space, there is no end at a glance, and the ancient sword hangs calmly not far away, very simple and mysterious.

"Fusheng is immeasurably Tianzun, and this sword is too big."

It is so far away from Earth that the law of gravitation manifests itself here in such small detail that it can be omitted. As soon as you gently use your foot on the handrail of the space station, your body will float far away.

"Ge Laozi, fight!"

In the face of the unknown, human beings will always be afraid. However, a strong sense of mission and a desire to explore will also make human beings have strong courage and determination.

The captain took a deep breath of the oxygen in the spacesuit, and his right foot slammed on, and the whole person seemed to be floating away from the dock and floating towards the bronze ancient sword.

The ancient sword hangs horizontally in the starry sky, and the dense text and patterns are alternately inscribed. The sense of ancient vicissitudes swept in, and it seemed that the ancient sword had coexisted with the universe for endless years, filled with an extremely distant desolation.

"Captain, the ancient sword has moved!"

"It's sinking, heading towards Earth, Captain, come back quickly......"

At this moment, the shouts of several astronauts were heard from the captain's headset. In a hurry and panic, they were horrified to find that the ancient sword was sinking, heading towards the surface of the earth.

"Ge Laozi, this sword has attached me to it....."

The ancient sword fell, and the rustling of the headset murmur made the captain's mind dizzy for a while, and the whole person fell on the ancient sword in an instant, unconscious.

Heming Mountain, from the end of ancient times to the present, is a world-recognized place of the origin of Taoism in China. Before the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling founded the Five Dou Rice Sect, it was a hermitage for strange people.

The document "Guangyu Ji" has this description of Heming Mountain, "There are seventy-two caves, should be seventy-two waiting, there are stone cranes in the caves, and the immortals come out, so the clouds." ”

The crane has been a Taoist auspicious thing since ancient times. If it is the sky, it will definitely appear with the immortals. In traditional mythology, it is a symbol of transformation and ascension. According to legend, there was a hermit old descendant Li Wei once lived in seclusion in this mountain, raised cranes all the year round as a companion, played chess and enlightened, heard cranes when the mountain was down, so the name is also called Crane Wen Mountain.

From the end of antiquity to the pre-Qin period, it was recorded in the document "Zhuangzi Outer Chapter Zaiyou": "The Yellow Emperor heard that Guangchengzi was above the empty space, so he went to see him and asked the most important thing of the Tao." ”

Kongtong refers to the modern Kongtong Mountain. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of humanity, once visited a Taoist sage named "Guangchengzi", and this enlightened sage finally chose to live in seclusion in Heming Mountain after living for more than a thousand years.

As for the age of the ancients, it cannot be trusted!

As the birthplace of traditional culture, Heming Mountain can be visited if you have free time. Holding yin and yang in the hand, sincere to the immortals, lighting a tribute incense and inserting it in the tripod, that is a kind of spiritual sustenance when a person is troubled or confused.

Heming Mountain is not far from Qingcheng Mountain, a full 30 kilometers, and is one of the four famous mountains in Jiannan in ancient times. The reason why Yuan Fan chose to bring Chen Ling here to play is because there is an old man in the museum who has always been good friends with him. The second is that the legends of Heming Mountain are extremely fascinating.

"Brother Yuan, you're here."

Yingxian Pavilion, repaired in the period of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty. There are old people in the local area who say that Lu Jianxian, one of the eight immortals, once enlightened here, and then achieved the position of the sword immortal and traveled the world, but he was nowhere to be found.

"Little Master Daoyan, I wonder if the old gentleman is in the museum today?"

When the sun was setting and the sunset was hanging in the sky, Yuan Fan took Chen Ling to Yingxian Pavilion. The two of them were entertained by a little Taoist boy, because he often saw Yuan Fan coming to find Lao Dao, and he gradually became familiar with him and had some friendship.

"Brother Yuan, it's really not the right time for you to come today, the master and his old man went out early this morning, saying that he was going to find a friend to have tea and discuss, and he would come back the day after tomorrow." Xiaodao Tong is seven or eight years old, dressed very simply, a Tsing Yi robe, the skin under the loose clothes is as white as ever, his eyes are smart, he is bright, and his red face looks extremely energetic.

"In this case, is there any spare room, I will stay here with this sister for two days, and wait for the old gentleman to come back."

It's getting late, the electric car rides from Qingcheng Mountain to Heming Mountain, the power has long been left, if you ride an electric car back to Qingcheng Mountain now, there must be a lot of trouble.

"Ling'er, I'm really embarrassed, I originally wanted to take you to meet that old gentleman."

Lao Dao, who lives in Heming Mountain, is a gray-haired old man who reads poetry and has a deep study of traditional Chinese culture. The old man speaks the truth, is good at conversation, and can often answer the worries and confusions in the hearts of tourists who come to visit.

Chen Ling's face is like jade, and she is an empathetic woman. Under the backdrop of a loose light pink t-shirt, a wonderful and sexy body looms, with a fair waist and a special extraordinary temperament.

"It's okay, you can accompany me out to play and relax, I'm already very satisfied." Chen Ling smiled lightly and muttered softly, his voice as delicate as the chirping of a crane and a cicada. She said that it didn't matter, and that it would be a good trip to stay in the gym for two days.

Xiao Daotong's eyes blinked, looked at Yuan Fan and Chen Ling ignorantly, and said: "Brother Yuan, is this beautiful sister your girlfriend, there are a lot of tourists in the past two days, and there is only one room left." ”

Since the rapid development of tourism, some dojos and temples have more or less renovated several guest rooms for tourists, and the dojo in Heming Mountain is no exception.

"This ......"

Yuan Fan heard that there was only one room left, his face was embarrassed, and when he looked at Chen Ling, an indescribable feeling rose in his heart.

First love is an obsession that germinates from human emotional instinct!

No matter how time flies and how the years change, this obsession will not go away. When he was on campus, Yuan Fan liked Chen Ling very much, and even now, Chen Ling's position in his heart still cannot be changed.

However, if they spent a room together inexplicably like this, Yuan Fan always felt a little awkward and inappropriate. After all, the two have long passed the age of ignorance.

"Ling'er, why don't we go to ....." Yuan Fan spoke, wanting to go to the nearest town with Chen Ling to find a place to stay, but he was interrupted by Chen Ling as soon as he was halfway through his words.

"It's okay, let's just stay one room, make do with one night." Chen Ling covered his mouth and snickered. Looking at Yuan Fan with an embarrassed face and at a loss, it made her very happy. The thought of spending a room with the man in front of me made my cheeks flush and show shyness.

"Ling'er, you ......" A hint of joy rose in Yuan Fan's heart.

"Don't think about it, I'm just a little tired today, I don't want to run around, I just need you to stay with me in the gym." Chen Ling explained, reminding and warning Yuan Fan not to mess around, this is the Daoist Hall.

Yuan Fan looked bitter, naturally he didn't think much about it, but he felt that he could stay with the woman he liked, and he felt inexplicably happy and excited in his heart, as if everything in this world was not as good as spending a moment with her.

Whether it is a Taoist hall or a temple, these places can not be messed around, let alone the joy of fish and water, they should be in peace and keep their hearts. Although the legendary immortal Buddha cannot be confirmed to exist, there is a folk saying that "the head is three feet above the gods", and you must not mess around, you should be respectful, in order to get the protection of the immortals and the Buddha.

"Brother Yuan, I'm going to rest first, I still have to do my homework tomorrow morning, if you need anything, just please."

In the past, Yuan Fan often came to Lao Dao to drink tea and chat, and Xiao Daotong did not treat him as an outsider, so he was very relieved. He took the two of them to the only remaining guest room, and after a few words of advice to Yuan Fan, he turned around and left.

It is a ten-foot wide room, with an antique atmosphere and internal facilities that are comparable to those of a luxury hotel. In the past, Yuan Fan lived there when he came to find Lao Dao, and he was more familiar with the surrounding environment.

Yuan Fan and Chen Ling walked into the room side by side, and the two of them each found a wooden stool and sat down.

In the room, a lonely man and a widow shared a room, and both fell silent. Yuan Fan was happy in his heart, but his eyes were full of embarrassment, and he always felt uncomfortable. Chen Ling lowered his head, he didn't know what to say for a while, his face was flushed, and his shyness and nervousness couldn't be concealed at all.

After a long time, Yuan Fan spoke first: "Or, Ling'er, you go wash first?" ”
