Chapter 4 Walking in the Mountains
"Ahead, it's the famous Nanming Mountain."
Ye Li looked in the direction Xu Wu pointed, and a majestic mountain stood in front of them.
The mountain path that rises from the top of the mountain extends to their feet.
It had been a few days since they had set out, and during that time they had passed through mostly plains and hills, and it was the first time they had seen such high mountains.
"Legend has it that in ancient times, there were cranes living in Nanming Mountain, and the immortal law was taught to a woodcutter, who was the founder of Nanyun Sect. It is also because of this that there are many white cranes in the Nanyun Sect. Our trip is to go to Nanyun Sect and take the white crane back to the sect."
Ye Li didn't pay attention to what Xu Wu was saying, he just stared blankly ahead.
Even if you know that you don't have to think about it, you shouldn't think about it, but once an idea appears, it's hard to dissipate.
Ye Li still couldn't help but think, to think, trying to find something that belonged to him from the overlapping memories.
Xu Wu looked at Ye Li and sighed.
If it continues like this, I'm afraid it won't give birth to demons.
At this time, the most taboo thing for the ascetic.
Throughout the ages, there has been no shortage of talented people who died of this.
But Xu Wu couldn't do anything about it.
He understood that Ye Li needed an opportunity, and this opportunity could only be found by Ye Li himself.
Just like he was back then.
It's noon
The two came to the mountainside of Nanming Mountain.
I saw that the inner mountain wall was full of greenery, and the outer cliff was steep and steep.
There are also a lot of tourists on the mountain road, most of them are ordinary people, and families travel together.
But there is no shortage of well-dressed people.
A little boy running suddenly appeared in Ye Li's sight.
The boy looked back and smiled as he ran, not paying the slightest attention to what was ahead.
So he tripped over a small stone in the road.
Then he crashed into Ye Li.
A heavy object suddenly hit him in his arms, and Ye Li couldn't stand firm for a while.
I saw Ye Li staggering, and he was about to fall backwards.
At this time, an invisible force held Ye Li up, allowing him to stand firm.
Ye Li turned his head to look, and Xu Wu was smiling at him.
He had a torn paper note in his hand.
The boy seemed to be frightened and trembled in Ye Li's arms.
A young woman hurried over, and her identity could be guessed from her dress.
It should be a maid from a large family.
She snatched the boy out of Ye Li's arms.
Instead of expressing his gratitude, he glared at Ye Li viciously.
In her opinion, it was Ye Li who frightened the little young master.
Then she turned her head and took the little boy by the hand and walked away.
As she walked, she kept saying something to the little boy.
There is not only comfort for the little boy, but also slander and complain about Ye Li.
Ordinary people naturally can't hear these sounds from that far away.
But Ye Li is not ordinary.
Of course, he didn't take it to heart either.
In his heart, there is a long river rushing.
In front of the surge formed by the convergence of the torrents, the splash of water stirred up by a stone seems so insignificant.
"Such an arrogant woman, I don't know if I will marry in the future." Xu Wu quipped.
Seeing that Ye Li didn't pay attention to his words, Xu Wu was a little embarrassed.
However, who is this child?
Xu Wu couldn't help but feel distressed.
I guess it's a guest from afar.
If the nobleman wanted to borrow the white crane, then he and Ye Li would only have to wait in Nanming Sect for a few days.
A fresh breeze blew by, and the plants on the mountain wall made a rustling sound.
Ye Li suddenly found that Xu Wu had walked in front of him.
The two were tens of meters apart.
He hurried up.
Looking at Ye Li, who was panting, Xu Wu finally couldn't help laughing.
At this time, Ye Li looked like a teenager.
He took out the light talisman that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Li.
Ye Li tore the paper talisman with his hand.
Nothing happened.
Xu Wu said with a smile: "This paper talisman is not for tearing!" ”
He pointed to his chest, where there was an identical paper note.
"I can't help it." Xu Wu took out a pen and a piece of white paper from his sleeve and drew characters on the paper with the pen.
After about half a moment, the paper was finally drawn.
Ye Li took the paper talisman and pasted it on his body.
The moment he pasted it, Ye Li felt that his body was as light as a swallow, and the tiredness of his body was swept away.
It's a feeling like I've never felt before.
"It's amazing, it's called immortality." Xu Wu was very satisfied with Ye Li's reaction. "In the past, when the farmers were busy, the monks on the mountain used to give these paper charms to the farmers next to the mountain to ease their burden. Farmers will also go up to the mountain to worship and offer incense during the slack time. ”
When the immortal road is prosperous, the mountains and mountains are harmoniously coexisting in this way.
The corners of Xu Wu's mouth were dyed with a trace of bitterness at some point.
He traveled in this earthly world for three years, and the scenery in the meantime was in full view.
Whether it is a matter of course or absurdity, it happens all the time in this earthly world that encompasses all things.
But the scene of the coexistence of immortals, he did not say goodbye.
During the busy farming season, those who went out to practice martial arts returned to their hometowns to improve the efficiency of farming with their strong physique.
If there is still a shortage of manpower, the court will send someone to help.
In the past thirty years, the mortal world has become accustomed to the days of no immortals.
The time of the ascetics is gone.
He was clearly aware of this.
What does this have to do with me?
Xu Wu, who was no longer a cultivator, thought.
Ye Li and Xu Wu walked side by side on the mountain road.
At some point, they had come to the front of a land of mist.
Ahead there is a checkpoint set up by the Great Zhou court.
Ordinary tourists, they have to turn back when they reach this level.
Only dignitaries and monks can continue to the top of the mountain.
"This is the end of the mountain road, you should turn back quickly." Seeing that the two men were in shabby clothes, the samurai stationed here kindly reminded them of the fact that they were ordinary tourists who had just climbed the mountain.
"This lord, we have something to go to Nanyun Sect, can you let us go?" Xu Wu seemed very familiar with this kind of scene, and he recounted the reason to the samurai in a respectful manner.
"Then do you have any documents from the imperial court?" Although he already knew it, the samurai still practiced his routine.
"There is nothing like this below, but I also know the way to pass the test below, and it is more than that." Xu Wu said.
I saw him step forward, stretch out his hand, open his palm, and in the palm of his hand, there was a white paper talisman.
He handed the talisman to the samurai, and then returned to Ye Li's side.
The warrior picked up the paper talisman and looked at it for a long time, and said, "It's true that this is a fairy thing, but how do you prove that this paper talisman is not something you got by accident?" ”
Xu Wu sighed, knowing that he couldn't pass this level.
So he concentrated his concentration and began to mobilize the spiritual power around him.
Invisible spiritual power rushed forward and poured into the paper sigils.
The samurai seemed to smell danger, and he quickly threw the paper talisman out of his hand.
Suddenly, the paper sigil was ignited and turned into dazzling fireworks in the air.
"No problem, you guys can get through." The samurai didn't pay much attention to Xu Wu's ignition of the paper talisman without reminding him, but directly switched it on and off.
"It would be nice if all the samurai in the court were like this." After walking in the clouds and mist for a while, Xu Wu, who breathed a sigh of relief, sighed.
In the past three years, there was no shortage of scathing and mean warriors in the court he encountered, and they made it difficult for him in every way, and in that case, Xu Wu had no choice but to turn back and find another way.
In this world, there are not all loyal people.
"Don't get too far away from me." Xu Wu suddenly remembered that there was another person beside him, and hurriedly put away his messy thoughts and reminded Ye Li.
In the fog, not only is it difficult to distinguish the road, but it is also inevitable to feel confused.
Xu Wu took Ye Li to speed up his pace and walked forward.
The road gets steeper and the clouds become thinner.
After a moment, he stopped, breathed a long sigh of relief, and exhaled all the gloom in his heart.
The summit has arrived.
