01 Immortal Tomb [Seeking to Follow]
Dayong Dynasty, Yanggu County.
A group of three or five men and women, riding high-headed horses, scolded the people who stood in the way, and hurried into the city.
These people were disciples of the nearby cultivation sects, and the people did not dare to provoke them, so they all got out of the way.
They are all brightly dressed, with long sleeves and fluttering temperament, not like people in the world.
"Senior Sister Hao, we are ordered by our master to go down the mountain to search for that kid, why do we have to stay alive?"
"Usually someone annoys us, so they all kill us with a sword, why this time..."
"Yes, Senior Sister Hao, Shizun's favorite thing is you, have you ever revealed it to you?"
"How many of you, are you talking about the master?"
As soon as these words came out, several people immediately shut up and did not dare to say more.
A few days ago, there was an immortal tomb in Yanggu County, and it was rumored that the Immortal Dao Fruit was missing, so they couldn't help but think about it.
The immortal Dao Fruit left behind by the immortals was a priceless treasure that even the emperor dreamed of.
Attaining the fruit of the Tao means immortality.
In the corner of the outer city, there was a row of beggars in rags, and a young man with unkempt hair suddenly got up.
deliberately lowered the tattered felt hat on his head and wrapped it in a tattered blanket.
"I didn't expect them to chase so closely, Yanggu County can't stay, we have to leave here as soon as possible."
"Danger by land... Why don't you go by water? ”
Yanggu County is located in the southeast of Dayong, with well-developed waterways.
Having made up his mind, the boy chose a direction and hung far behind a caravan.
When the caravan leader saw a beggar following behind, he couldn't help frowning, but he didn't take it.
In these years, who hasn't been down.
After walking for a long time, the caravan stopped by the river to rest, and the young man also stopped, squatting alone on the riverbank.
The young man looked at the reflection in the water, and frowned, and then showed joy.
"I don't want this Immortal Dao Fruit to have the effect of rejuvenating youth."
"I wonder if I'll become a child in a few days?"
The young man's name is Xu Xiu, from Kailanxing, who fell into the abyss during an expedition and appeared in the immortal tomb as soon as he opened his eyes.
There are many organs in the immortal tomb, if it weren't for the luck of eating the Dao fruit growing on the bones, he would have died of serious injuries.
"Now that my appearance has changed, I am even a little shorter, what are you afraid of pursuit? Just change your outfit, find a random place to hide, and everything will be good if you survive them! ”
"But it's better to be safe, these days I'm running around, and I don't even have time to practice the exercises contained in the Dao Fruit."
"When the people of this world see the Immortal Dao Fruit, they are like crazy demons, and they want to fight and kill one by one, if I don't have any skills, wouldn't it be better for a three-year-old child to hold a gold ingot, and let others handle it..."
"When I eat the fruit, I feel that my strength is increasing day by day, and I have endless energy, and there will definitely be changes in the future."
"When you get out of here, you'll have to find a place to study it."
The temptation of the Immortal Dao Fruit was far greater than he had imagined.
There are mortals and monks in this world, but there is no one who can not die.
Anyone who lives for 80 years and a monk lives for 100 years is to achieve a land immortal, but he only lives 300, and only an immortal who cultivates the Dao Fruit can live with heaven and earth.
But the immortals are ethereal, and they can't be found.
Nowadays, it took several generations of energy for countless sects and countless forces to find the clues of the immortal tomb in the ancient books.
Whoever admits that as soon as the grave is dug up, a short-haired weirdo in strange costumes will pop out.
By the time it was discovered that the Dao fruit in the tomb had been removed, the stranger had already disappeared.
The Dao fruit that has been searched for hundreds of years was taken first by thieves, how can these people be willing?
Ate that little thief, the same!
Therefore, Xu Xiu's road to immortality is destined to be full of disasters.
If you don't have the ability to be around, you will have to worry about your life.
Xu Xiu squatted by the river and measured his hair with his hand, which was up to his shoulders.
In a few days, it should grow a lot again, and there is no need to bring a hat.
Putting away his thoughts, Xu Xiu looked at the caravan master who was walking towards him, and subconsciously retreated.
"Little brother, you don't have to be afraid, I am the head of the caravan of the Zhang family in Yanggu County, not a bad person."
The principal is a middle-aged man with kind words.
"I saw you follow us all the way, but what's the difficulty?"
Xu Xiu shook his head, extremely vigilant.
Seeing this, the director smiled and said: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they are not easy to live these years, it is always right for you to be cautious, but we are going to take a boat to the capital tonight, and we can't let you continue to follow." ”
After speaking, the director threw the small burden he was carrying in his hand to Xu Xiu.
Xu Xiu didn't reach out to take it, and didn't dare to pick it up until the burden fell to the ground and there was no abnormality.
When I opened it, there were a few pieces of sorghum flour cake and more than a dozen copper coins.
"Little brother, the road ahead is dangerous, I heard that people are making trouble, you better turn back, at least it is safe in the city."
The chief turned to call the caravan and prepared to leave, but he heard footsteps behind him, and the dirty young man followed.
"Can I take your boat to the capital together?"
The boy's tone was a little jerky, as if he had just learned to speak.
The languages of the two worlds are not compatible, and Xu Xiuquan was able to learn it by relying on the knowledge contained in the Dao Fruit, and he is not yet proficient.
"Do you have the money to get on a boat? The little copper plate I gave you is not enough. ”
"I can help you with the work, and it's just the ship's money, how about it?"
The principal hesitated, this young man was eccentric, and it was already benevolent and righteous to give him dry food copper plates, should you help him?
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "You go to the river to wash first, otherwise the boat boss will definitely take you down as a flower." ”
Hearing this, Xu Xiu was overjoyed and thanked him again and again, and then a fierce man plunged into the river.
After coming to this world for so many days, I finally met a kind-hearted person.
When he was cleaned and put on the old clothes and hats sent by the director, he couldn't help but make people's eyes shine.
But seeing this young man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he is heroic and upright, and he has an indescribable temperament on his body, which is not like that of ordinary people.
They set off at noon, and Xu Xiu followed the caravan all the way.
He can be diligent with his hands and feet, he knows what to do without being called, he learns things quickly, and he is a capable worker.
However, he rarely took the initiative to talk to others, and even when others accosted him, he only listened with a smile, or nodded or shook his head, thinking that he was mute.
Say more and make more mistakes, say less and make fewer mistakes, Xu Xiuzhi is in the current situation, and he can't be sloppy at all.
Only when he left Yanggu County could he be considered temporarily safe.
In the evening, the caravan came to a large river crossing, and Xu Xiu and a group of laborers loaded the goods onto the big ship.
The chief shopkeeper Liu and the boat boss stood on the bow of the boat, discussing something, and looked at the young man who was working hard to carry it in the sunset from time to time.
When all the goods were loaded onto the ship, the ship's boss shouted a trumpet, and more than a dozen boatmen put away the cables and propped the ship up to the shore with a long penny.
"It's a good day—"
"It's a good day—"
Everyone on the boat shouted in unison, hoping that this trip would be smooth and smooth.
Xu Xiu leaned on the sack at the stern of the boat, looking at the river bank that was gradually moving away, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.
"This world, the lord is here."
