The moon stars are scarce, and the breeze is cool. The master and apprentice of the Taoist walked along the road for an hour. The red sun rises abruptly ahead, tearing open the gloomy sky, and the red clouds are rolling in the sky. Seven crimson peaks in the foresight are scattered like towering fires. The road at the bottom of the mountain is longitudinal and horizontal into a "Feng" character, the red stone paves the wide road, and there are large and small red stone houses on both sides, like red centipedes meandering and crawling, stretching for seven or eight miles.

"Ahh The second child's face was excited, he jumped on the boulder on the side of the road, and shouted loudly with his hand on the side of his mouth.

Shouting hard, he ran back to the Taoist. Xuan Yi was overjoyed, hurriedly tugged at the Taoist robe, pointed and asked, "Master, master." What kind of mountain is in front of it, how does it look like a red-hot charcoal fire, is this the legendary volcano? The Taoist smiled slightly and replied, "If it is a volcano, how can people live under the mountain." This is the town of Copper Mountain. This mountain contains abundant fire spirits and gold spirits, the fire spirits are red, and the gold spirits are golden, and the two colors reflect each other, so there is this burning scene. ”

"So that's the case, I thought it was the Dan Furnace of the Immortal Palace Alchemy that fell to the ground. Master, you have read the mountain scriptures and know the roots of the mountains in the world, so do you know the beginning and end of the copper mountain? Xuanyi asked again. This mountain was not born of heaven and earth, but I do know its past. This mountain is the ancient god - the king of the cobalt land of the magic weapon bronze and gold building, has been here for more than 90,000 years. After tens of thousands of years of hard work, it has been mined by generations of monks, and eight or nine out of ten of this mountain has been dug up, which has become the appearance of the seven broken mountains today. ”

"Ahh This mountain turned out to be a magic weapon. The second child opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Xuanyi said in disbelief: "Master, how is this possible? If such a large seven mountains were to increase tenfold, they would be at least a thousand zhang high and dozens of miles long, and it would take a day or two to climb them. Who can hold such a big magic weapon? "Xuanyi, don't be bound by past insights. The spiritual power of these six realms is divided into body, spirit, yuan, immortal, dao, yin, yang, haoyang, witch yin, xuanhuang, immortal, hongmeng, etc., any kind of cultivation is extreme, you can raise your hand to move mountains, step on the sea and sink, capture the sun and moon, catch the stars, go against time and space, travel the universe, and obtain immeasurable longevity and immeasurable law. Using a mountain as a magic weapon is not very powerful. You must know that the universe is boundless, there are sides outside the edge, and the mystical energy is strange and strange, and the strange is endless. I have seen a spirit beast called 'Beginningless', whose body can occupy the entire Six Realms if it is unfolded. There is also a kind of mythical bird called 'Pengzu', which can reach the end of the sky with one wing, its head is at the end of the universe, but its tail grows at the beginning of the universe. And there are too many miraculous beings like this to count. ”

"Ahh That's amazing. That's great, I, Xuanyi, will definitely learn immeasurable supernatural powers in the future, see all the wonders of the Six Realms, and become the most powerful person in the Six Realms. Xuanyi's heart was surging, and he pinched his waist and raised his head arrogantly. Okay, we'll see. Let's go, let's go into town. ”

The three of them accompanied the breeze and walked along the main road towards Tongshan Town at the foot of the mountain. When I came to the mountain pass, there were dozens of warriors in yellow cloth clothes, carrying gold sticks, and writing the word "Mo" on their chests to set up posts to block the road. Many people who wanted to enter the town lined up neatly and were being cross-examined.

Seeing that those martial artists were fierce and fierce, Xuantian was timid and followed closely behind the Taoists, and asked carefully: "Master, why does the mountain pass also have a checkpoint?" Isn't there some kind of murderer being caught here? Xuan Yi smiled and said, "Brother, you are wrong. If the murderer is tracked down, the person who left the mountain should be found, how can the person who entered the mountain be found. I see that these seven volcanoes look strange, and there must be treasures in them. They are probably afraid that outsiders will come to rob them of their treasures, so they have to set up guards to investigate. ”

In front of him, an old man in green clothes with spotted hair, carrying an empty bamboo basket, was queuing. Listening to the conversation with the little baby, he turned around. Fu Cangsu smiled: "Little baby." There is indeed a treasure in the copper mountain, and every stone here is rich in mineral essence, and if it is tempered, it can obtain the best iron tools. Such a precious realm is naturally controlled by a strong man. There are seven mountains in this copper mountain, and a total of eight mountain passes have been opened, which are respectively controlled by the four major sects of the Killing Feng Sect, the Guili Sect, the Shenlan Sect, and the Tianzhu Sect. This Nanshan Pass is in charge of the Shenlan Sect. Seeing it, the disciples of the Shenlan Sect all had their ancestral name "Mo" written on their chests. Whether it is a blacksmith who comes to mine, a merchant who trades in business, or a Taoist priest who travels to the country, if you want to enter the mountain, you need to pay taxes and silver to them. ”

Xuan Yi saw that the old man had dark skin, his arms were full of fine meat, and the bamboo basket he was carrying was stained with red mineral powder, and he guessed with a smile: "Old man, you are a blacksmith, you came to Tongshan to specifically mine this stone and go back to make ironware, right?" "Hehe, the little baby's eyesight is good. I'm a blacksmith in the town of River Willow in the south, and I come here every month to get some gold and stone and go back to make farming tools. "Oh, good blacksmith, I see it all the time. Swinging a sledgehammer every day is very fun. "Hehe, the little baby is interesting. It's not fun, it's tiring. As the saying goes, there are three hardships in the world, supporting the boat, striking iron, and grinding tofu. You're too young to know how hard it is. The old man laughed.

"Hey, I think this saying is all complained about by the laity, and it may not be true. Yesterday, I also saw a rich man who was rich and had no worries about food and clothing, saying that he was the most miserable, and finally he jumped into a well. This man has bitterness in his body, but he is always comfortable in his heart. The body is comfortable, and the heart may not be bitter. Although striking iron is a work of strength and makes people physically tired, it is in good spirits. Hammer after hammer has to be beaten down, people follow the truth, and all the troubles are gone. Therefore, whether it is suffering or blessing, the key is to see whether the heart is comfortable or not. Xuan Yi said with a smile.

"You little baby looks like seven or eight years old, and you speak like an old Taoist. The apprentice is so smart, it can be seen that the master is also amazing. The old man was slightly surprised and looked at the Taoist. The Taoist priest bowed his head: "The old-timers are polite. "Well, where did the little Taoist come from and where did he go?" The old man asked. "People who travel in the right direction, stop and go, there is no fixed number." "Oh, it turned out to be an ascetic practitioner, admire. The old man's house is in Heliu Town, if the trail chief does not dislike it, but he can pass by the shelter, I will have a good life. ”

"Thank you seniors, we will leave Tongshan Town and go south, so we won't bother." "Ah, I want to go to my grandfather's house. By the way, master, meeting is fate. What about your spirit talismans, take them out and give them to grandpa. Grandpa, my master's spirit talisman can be spiritual, and it can ensure that you live a long life and have many children. Exorcise ghosts and evil spirits, pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, and take care of everything. Others have tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the master doesn't sell them. "Xuanyi is self-cooked, chattering and selling to the old man......

After a few idle conversations, soon it was the turn of the old man, who skillfully paid the money, received the number plate, and said goodbye to the three of them. Xuan Yi and the others were also very happy to wave away from the old man.

The three Taoists stepped forward and saw a middle-aged warrior in black sitting on the rough wooden square table. In his early forties, he wore a gold-clothed robe, flower-crowned brocade shoes, and a thick-edged broadsword inlaid with a gold dragon. The warrior glanced at the three of them, his broad eyebrows were cold, and he reprimanded in displeasure: "You dare to come to my Tongshan Town even if you are so poor, I hate you lazy ghosts who walk the streets and alleys and get people to eat and drink in my life." If you don't go to work at a young age, you have to wander around and be a cancer in the world. Letting you into the town is simply ruining our treasure land feng shui, get out of here, get out of the way. ”

The Taoist was scolded for no reason, and the people around him were happy to see it and laughed at it. Xuan Yi's face was so angry that he immediately jumped his foot and pointed at the martial artist and scolded: "Hey, what's wrong with being poor, we haven't eaten a grain of rice from your family?" You're dressed like a human being, just a pig-dog barking. They say that this is your treasure mountain, but is this mountain born by your ancestors? You are just a group of robbers and bandits who rely on power to occupy Baoshan, the most shameless scum in the world, sitting here cutting paths and robbing money, specializing in eating people without spitting out bones, pretending to be a human being! I see you're a leper dog barking and forgetting what you are! ”

When he was young, he was angry, and he had his own experience in scolding. Everyone was stunned, and the warrior's face was red from being scolded, and the bruises on his forehead burst out, and he slammed the table hard. Xuanyi knew that with the protection of the master, no one could hurt her, so he was not afraid, and looked at her with a menacing gaze with her face up!

The Taoist stretched out his hand and dragged Xuanyi aside, and bowed: "The little apprentice is rude, Venerable is not strange." Your sect protects the peace of one side and has its own merits. When we enter the mountains, we naturally pay the silver according to the rules. Please let His Holiness go. The warrior hesitated for a moment, and snorted coldly: "Give one or two silver, go in." The Taoist gave him the money and took his disciples into the mountain.

The three Taoists left, and behind them, a young swordsman in bright white clothes and carrying a sword stepped forward with joy, and he was very generous and threw a silver tael on the table. The warrior glared, "Five taels of silver into the mountain, your kid has been here more than a dozen times, and he still doesn't know the rules." Are you fooling me? The young swordsman was stunned for a moment, and said aggrievedly: "Big brother, what you said is wrong. Just now, the Taoist priest brought two little babies, and you only received one tael of silver for three people, but how did you get to us it is five taels. Aren't they poor relatives of yours? The warrior said angrily: "It's your business." Pay five taels of silver, hurry up. The young man had no choice but to hand over the money and slip away.

Turning around, the warrior took out four taels of silver from his bosom, threw them to the account room on the side, and said, "Make up for the deficit of that Taoist priest." Everyone nodded in admiration, this warrior seems to be fierce and evil, but he is kind-hearted. People scolded him, but he paid the tax for the other party.

The three Taoists walked dozens of steps away, and Xuan Yi muttered: "Master, that guy is rude and insults you, why aren't you angry." This mountain does not belong to theirs, so why should we give us money? "They are responsible for maintaining the peace and prosperity of this place, and they are the lords of this place, and they naturally obey as guests. It is really wrong to be convenient, and it is not a good means to counter violence with violence. Besides, that person is well-intentioned, but you can't see through it. ”

"Ahh He is kind-hearted, master, you are confused, he scolds you so ugly! What kind of kindness can he have? "Xuanyi, it's true that you are smart, but this cleverness is not wisdom, let alone enlightenment. Tongshan Town is a place where cultivators gather to buy and sell, and he is afraid that I will be deceived by those unkind monks when I enter the town, so he wants to scold us. And you scolded him so fiercely, and he didn't retaliate. Also, the tax paid by ordinary people in the town is five taels, and he only collected one tael from us. After we left, he made up another four taels himself. For the sake of goodness without publicity, humiliation without resentment, what is such a person who is not kind-hearted? ”
