Volume 1 Juvenile Journey 0016 Everything is ready
Another morning, the sky was brighter than yesterday.
If you stand on a high place and look at it, you can see the blue bricks and tiles, and there is a mottled red building to the west of the town.
If you get closer, you'll see a dark red mud house at the foot of the mountain.
The old folks of the town once said that the adobe house, which does not let in sunlight, seems to be the same age as the town.
The old houses are nestled in the dark foothills, overgrown with weeds in front of them, and cobwebs are dusty among the trees.
The length, width and height are about three zhang, no ridges, no windows, no tiles, no blocks. Sitting north and facing south, there is a two-person high long entrance on the sunny side.
The stone threshold is as if it was made of red clay, two feet high, and it reaches half a knee, which can hold back the light.
It was already dark outside, but it was still dark inside.
It's like a giant beast with a mouth, waiting for a curious person to take the initiative to step into the abyss.
It's a pity that I can't expect anyone to care about it over the years, and the mud house like a giant beast looks more and more gloomy.
At this time, it is like an old man who is about to die, hanging on his last breath, hoping for a miracle and a dead wood in spring.
This breath may be the bluestone roadside of the narrow alley, and you can vaguely see yellow spring flowers with dew; It may be children and porters of whatever origin; It may be a farmer facing the loess; may be the champion who has returned to his hometown; It may also be a beautiful lady who is half-exposed and wants to say goodbye......
There is only one miracle that resurrects this place, and that is the immortal lighting the lamp.
According to the words of Shopkeeper Lin, in this world, everything is possible.
When you really meet the immortals, you will be omnipotent.
————————————
Seven more days passed after the vernal equinox.
During these seven days, the four teenagers climbed the mountain many times to hunt for treasures and met many people.
Probably this year's Xuanqi is too intuitive, and now both men, women and children are patrolling the mountains.
During this period, Lin Beiguang accidentally found a large piece of iron with black cracks all over his body when he was digging and, and Lin Honeysuckle and Lin Tao found two more tree eggs, but Lin Xiaoyuan got nothing on the mountain.
Today, the shopkeeper Lin called a few people to the pharmacy and distributed the wild mountain honey picked by Lin Honeysuckle a few days ago.
When the honey was all in their stomachs, all four of them burped.
"Although your physical foundation is okay, you are still some way from ordinary geniuses. Wild mountain honey is good in the baby, fortunately I help you, otherwise you alone will not be directly burst! ”
Shopkeeper Lin's hands were like green jade, and while massaging the four people, he was hitting the key points.
Lin Xiaoyuan asked about the last time he encountered the black shadow, and Shopkeeper Lin shook his head bitterly.
"You should have guessed that I, I, have also cultivated, but my talent and qualifications are really average, and the Dao Casting Spirit Seed is extremely poor, plus I have taken a lot of detours, and I don't have strong exercises, and the opportunity is also average, so in the end, I am not very powerful. As for the future, I was half-dead in my cultivation for some reason, so—"
Shopkeeper Lin paused, and then continued: "The existence of that black shadow, I have read many miscellaneous books before, and there is a book that says that the black shadow is a calamity that obstructs the path, and there may be this illusory existence in every inheritance place. ”
"As for whether it is harmful to you, then I don't know."
"But who knows, the ancient books can't tell what this thing is."
"I haven't seen a black shadow here before, and I heard from those fellow disciples and sect elders in the past that those who can see black shadows are extremely special, and if you report it, there will be a reward."
"According to the speculation of that group of people, being able to see a black shadow is a kind of chance, similar to the cause of Buddhism and the inheritance of Taoism, that is, few people can catch it."
"And even if you catch it, if you are caught, it is very likely that the proceeds will be grafted onto others."
Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Lin's expression became extremely solemn, and he admonished softly:
"Xiaoyuan, your future road may be difficult, but fortunately, it is difficult for him to know the supernatural powers now, so in the future, don't mention to outsiders that you have seen a black shadow, otherwise it is very likely that you will be hunted by a bounty."
"By the way, the same goes for the stories you told before, whether it's a real nightmare or something you overheard, you can't talk about it in front of people anymore."
"That's not something we should know, the teachings of the Upper Realm Pudu have been passed down here layer by layer, and there is no such record......"
"Remember, don't tell anyone but us."
"Unless that person is very trustworthy to you."
"But you must always be ready to be betrayed."
Lin Xiaoyuan nodded heavily, of course he knew the seriousness of the matter.
"Cultivation is never a simple matter, life and death are at every turn!" Shopkeeper Lin deliberately suppressed his throat and looked at the four boys in front of him seriously.
"I said Dad, we can't be cowardly, you used to say that I was talented, and I still count on the dragon to fly!" Lin Rongdong opened his voice with his bald head, and the originally serious atmosphere instantly became active.
"That's it, let's test the water first, and then we will withdraw." Lin Beiguang thought a lot, and at this time he began to think about how to enter the immortal gate steadily.
"Uncle Lin, don't worry, our four brothers are of the same heart and help each other, there will be no big problems." Lin Tao said in a deep voice on the side, quite magnanimous.
Compared with the flamboyant and talkative Lin Honeysuckle and the ghost spirit Lin Beiguang, Lin Tao is much more mature and stable, at least in terms of appearance, he is a mediocre but well-chested Lin Xiaotao.
"Speaking of which, it's time for that heritage site to be revived, and it shouldn't be long before an immortal will come and light the lamp. Look for it again, the tree eggs are not unusual, and when the time comes, you will exchange the eggs for chance, and other strange things will be useful to you in the future to keep. ”
After that, Shopkeeper Lin gave some advice on cultivation and interesting facts about Xianmen.
Press not table.
At present, there are a lot of treasures.
Lin Guangtou has white beads, Lin Tao has blue stones, Lin Beiguang has black iron, and Lin Xiaoyuan has purple flowers.
The tree egg boy is even more handy.
Originally, there were only three tree egg boys.
But after Lin Xiaoyuan had no harvest on the mountain a few days ago, he was brave enough to run to the red mud house during the day, followed his memory to the ancient tree that glowed green that night, and dug out another one.
This Tree Egg Boy was not significantly different from the three he had gotten before, probably from the same tree.
To Lin Xiaoyuan's surprise, it should have formed earlier than the spring equinox, and it was not absorbed by the strange black shadow.
Moreover, the darkness that could devour all light and shadow did not extract the aura of this tree eggboy.
Just cheap him.
As for the cause and effect in it, he didn't care.
Limited by strength and vision, Lin Xiaoyuan couldn't think of it that far.
The most important thing at the moment is, of course, mountaineering.
When everything is ready, the immortals are sent to the dust.
————————————
Three days later, at noon, the sun was sunny and the wind was cold.
Suddenly, the clouds covered the sky, and the flat ground thundered.
Sensing that the sky was different, the ruffians in the village ran as fast as they could, and shouted again and again:
"The fairy has descended to earth, the fairy has descended to earth!"
Before the people of the town could put down their work, they heard a light and pleasant fairy voice that was difficult to distinguish between men and women:
"From now on, the inheritance land will be reopened for one year, and those over the age of eight and under the age of eighteen can enter the temple with the spirit seed to obtain the inheritance method, and each person is limited to one chance."
"Entering the inheritance place is regarded as the preparation of the immortal sect, and you must participate in the trial, and you will be responsible for life and death, so that you can do it yourself."
"The fate of all living beings is crossed once every ten years. The immortals light the lamp, the beginning of the inheritance. ”
These three words echoed in the air three times before disappearing.
In the crowd of people who were running to find him, Lin Xiaoyuan grinned wantonly and was very happy.
He had finally waited for his chance to get out of the low well.
Don't need the stars to show him the way.
Lin Xiaoyuan believes in his feet.
