Chapter 2: Seeking Immortals
At the entrance of the village, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded a pair of old and young, standing there with resolute eyes. The people who heard the wind came out of their homes and ran over.
Jiang Li was still curious about what was going on, so he was grabbed by the oncoming Jiang Mu, and followed without even letting go of the water chestnut in his arms.
"I don't know how many officials ......"
The village chief stepped forward, and before he could finish speaking, he was pushed by the nearest officer and soldier. Mother Jiang took Jiang Li and the two to stand behind the crowd, and was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled the two behind her.
Jiang Li was very helpless, quietly poked his head out, stared at the white-bearded old man, saw him smiling, stretched out his hand to stop it, and said, "Don't disturb the people." β
He even threw down his sleeves, helped the village chief up with his own hands, and asked: "Excuse me, in Xia Qingyunzi, the master of Qingyun Temple." β
He pointed to the young man beside him and said, "This is His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the current dynasty." β
Everyone was shocked, Liang Guoguo was tens of thousands of miles away from here, and they didn't expect to see the prince here. After being surprised, everyone hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Jiang Li hid behind people and pouted, and was unwillingly pulled by Ye Mu and knelt down.
"Get up, this king has something to ask, and it must be true. β
"Lord Wang, please speak. β
"I heard that there are immortal relics here, I don't know the old man, can you tell me?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and their hearts were not dead to seek immortals. Unexpectedly, this time it was the royal relatives who came.
There is a fairy mansion in the lonely mountain, this is a matter of old legends, the mountain is full of clouds and mist all the year round, there seems to be a fairy rising, but it is only a legend, but it suddenly changed ten years ago.
It is said that the light in the sky suddenly burst out that day, and everyone came to look for it afterwards, and they all said that it was a sign of the birth of Xianfu, which had been hot for several years. But with the calm days after that, there were too many things to chase after the wind and shadows, and most of the people who came and went were in vain. It's just that the mountain is foggy all year round, and most of the people who go in can't get out. At first, everyone didn't give up, but after going forward, no one mentioned it again. It's just that there are a lot of strange things, and there are legends that it is the handiwork of the fairy family, and there is an immortal mind that even if you can't see the fairy traces, then even if you dig up a few fairy grasses, no one has seen what the fairy grass looks like, and over time, no one has entered the mountain for many years.
The village chief thought for a while, shook his head and said: "There has been a legend since ancient times, it has been the same for many years, we are all ignorant and don't know what immortals are." There are many people who have entered the mountain, and many have worked in vain, and it is unknown whether anyone will find them. β
After speaking, the village chief looked back at the villagers and asked, "Quick, who knows, tell the prince." β
In fact, there are many people coming and going, and there is a lot of news. This world is difficult, and a village that lives in this picture is a peace of mind, and I don't want to participate in these, but I don't want this mountain that everyone doesn't look at to make so many things. In the past, it was okay, but they were all powerless and powerless, and what they wanted was just to change their fate, and everyone sent them away, and no one took them seriously. But this time is different, the person who came is the prince of the capital, if you find it, it's okay, it's okay if you can't find peace, but if you die here, they can't afford to take this responsibility. Everyone looked at each other, didn't dare to talk nonsense, and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
The King of Qi frowned, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Qing Yunzi beside him, who raised his hand, and nodded first: "Can this old man make it convenient for me to go into the mountain to explore?"
The village chief hesitated for a while, but nodded, indicating that he could, and informed him of some dangers that he knew.
He is just an ordinary village head, he can't refuse the prince's request, and he can only explain things clearly, and if something happens, he can't blame him. After that, he took care of everyone to go into the village to rest, beckoned the women of the village, made a decision immediately, killed one of his own pigs, and was busy gathering some tables and chairs from each family. Placed directly in the village, a fire was made for cooking.
Jiang Li followed his mother's relatives to the front and back, his eyes rolled slightly, swept towards that Qingyunzi from time to time, carefully pulled Jiang's mother's sleeve and asked, "Mother, is that an immortal?"
Jiang Mu was startled, and hurriedly patted his hand pointing at Qingyunzi, pulled him and whispered: "No, that's a living immortal, enjoying royal worship and helping the emperor refine the elixir of life." β
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and wanted to complain, but then he thought about it again, this is not the original world, maybe there is really an elixir is not impossible, even if there is not, then there must be longevity.
"I don't see anything special. Jiang Li muttered quietly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Qing Yunzi, who was still talking to everyone, actually looked over, and Jiang Li, who was looking at it, was stunned for a moment, and heard him speak: "The kid is curious about me?"
Hearing his question, everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Li, and Jiang's mother was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out.
Jiang Li patted her hand to express his reassurance, then looked straight over, and said: "I heard that the Taoist chief is an immortal, and Xiao'er has heard the elders say that immortals have the ability to reach the heavens since he was a child. β
"That's not what you just said. Qing Yunzi looked at Jiang Li and said with a smile.
Jiang Li didn't feel embarrassed, and continued: "It's the child's clumsiness, after all, according to the child's point of view, this prince is still noble and noble." β
"Haha, Tianqi, it's still you, a young man, who is liked, and I'm an old man. Qingyunzi was not angry, and laughed.
"The seniors laughed, Huangkou Xiaoer, don't listen. Li Tianqi held the sword with a faint expression. just glanced at Jiang Li, and saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his expression was clear, so he paid more attention.
"People in the world are looking for immortals, but they don't know immortals in person. The old man has been seeking truth for half his life, and in the end, he relies on this outfit to support the faΓ§ade. Qingyunzi stroked his beard and sighed: "It's not as visionary as this kid." β
Jiang Li blinked, looked at Qingyunzi, and then at Li Tianqi, and suddenly his eyes lit up, staring at Li Tianqi for a while.
Li Tianqi was a little uncomfortable stared at by this unbearable gaze, coughed, turned around and left. However, Qingyunzi indifferently beckoned to Jiang Li and motioned for him to come over.
Jiang Li was not shy, got up from the chair, reached out and wiped his pants, and ran over. Seeing this, Qingyunzi directly reached out and pinched his veins, and he didn't know what he did, he instantly felt that his ears and eyes were clear, and a warm current traveled down his body, until his lower abdomen, which was warm and comfortable.
"The meridians are tough, the qi and blood are abundant, and the bones are strong, which is a good seedling. Qingyunzi closed his eyes, stroked his long beard with his hand, and nodded again and again.
Jiang Li was speechless, how could he have a feeling of "amazed to see Your Excellency's bones", he was very skeptical, if he would take out a copy of the "Rulai Divine Palm" to him next. However, seeing that this old man was a lot old and had gray hair, he was not easy to hit, so he blinked, pretended to be curious, and said, "Then I can cultivate immortals?"
"I don't know about this, whether you can cultivate immortals depends on whether you have spiritual roots and whether your qualifications are excellent. Even if you have a spiritual root, your qualifications are not good, and you can barely step into the threshold of cultivating immortals, you can't go far. Qingyunzi rubbed Jiang Li's head and said regretfully: "You just said that I am an immortal, and I am better than this ordinary person, and it is still okay to practice medicine and see a doctor." β
"That's not bad. Jiang Lidao.
"Mortals are rare in their seventies, and they have seen the fairy road, but they still can't break free from their lives, so it's better to be ignorant and know how to be a farmer in the mountains, but it's also comfortable. Qing Yunzi looked at the busy villagers and sighed.
"Then you just stay, let the village chief give you a piece of land, and become a foot doctor. Jiang Li pouted
β......β
"Not satisfied. β
Jiang Li didn't want to pay attention to him, and ran back after speaking. This is the same as those modern people who get cheap and sell well, saying that money and power are not good things, and they are desperate to drill into it. This kind of disease-free moaning that does not know the suffering of the people is hypocritical, and boring.
And the corners of Li Tianqi's mouth, who heard what he was talking about, twitched slightly.
This old man has been in Kyoto as a prestige, deeply respected by his father, and looks like a master all day long, and he likes to sigh. This was suddenly smacked by this salty and non-light, just think about it. The key is that the other party is still a half-grown child, and he can't be too serious, otherwise his image will be damaged.
But I met someone interesting. But he was a little puzzled, how could such a villain be taught in this poor country, which made him a little curious.
Not only was he curious, Jiang Li was also curious, this person didn't look much older than himself, holding a sword, it seemed that he was still very cold, just listening to the meaning of the old Taoist, this is the real immortal cultivator, and he is also a prince, he can't be provoked, he can't be provoked. Jiang Li thought so, raised a smile that he thought was cute, and thought that he was far away from himself.
Li Tianqi saw that the other party found himself looking at him, and smiled at himself, slightly embarrassed, pulled the corners of his mouth, and wanted to smile to show friendship, but finally sighed.
Jiang Li saw that his facial expression was really suspicious, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he shook his head and stopped looking at him.
I don't know if I don't look at it, sure enough, the momentum of this immortal cultivator is different, such a proud figure in the sky, Jiang Li has always adhered to the attitude of respecting and staying away, if he can not deal with it, he will not deal with it, not all the way.
Suddenly, a group of people came, still from the imperial court, and the atmosphere in the village was the same as the New Year, with colorful lights. Jiang Li took Jiang Yue to lie on the windowsill, eating the rice that his mother had secretly buried a small half bowl of meat for herself and Jiang Yue, and through the window she saw that the group of officers and soldiers were sitting on the ground, lighting a fire, and roasting rabbits caught at dusk. The village chief also contributed his own sorghum wine. swept his eyes, but he didn't find His Royal Highness the King of Qi who cultivated immortals. I thought, too, a prince in a dignified family, or a monk, and he lost his share with this group of people.
Thinking like this, Jiang Li set his eyes on the lonely mountain in the night in the distance, and he didn't know what to think about anymore.
At this time, Li Tianqi had already moved away from the crowd and entered the mountain.
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy has not taken off his childish face, but he pretends to be old.
Originally, Li Tianqi was suspicious of the so-called immortal relics in this mortal world, but this time he was just in time for the birthday of the lord of the country, and he specially came back to pay respects, but he couldn't screw his father and let him come over to take a look. But in this realm where the aura is thin, I don't know what to see, so I sigh when I think about it.
Just when he was thinking like this, a tiger roar sounded from not far away, and he immediately woke up, and when he reacted and looked, he didn't know where he had gone.
But don't worry, it's understandable that there are fierce beasts in this mountain.
Li Tianqi has already started to cultivate, and now he is also a Qi cultivator, this beast in the mortal world is just a beast, there is nothing to worry about. Originally, I thought that there was no danger in the mortal world, but this lonely mountain, which is said to have the remains of immortals, seems to have moonlight scattered down, but it is really full of aura.
"Whew"
The tiger's roar sounded again, and it seemed to be a little further away.
Li Tianqi tightened the sword in his hand, intending to get rid of this beast. His eyes were fixed on the depths of the woods, his hand holding the hilt of his sword.
"Whew"
With another tiger roar, Li Tianqi suddenly burst out and slashed to the side, a fierce tiger suddenly burst out, and with one claw, it collided with the ensuing sword qi, making a metallic friction sound.
Li Tianqi was shocked, looking at the tiger's blood-red eyes, secretly saying that it was not good, and his heart sank suddenly. In the small mortal realm of the Heart Dao, there are demonized beasts, and the scarlet eyes clearly have the strength of a first-level demon beast. Unable to resist hard, he hurriedly retreated and dodged a blow sideways. He took a sword in his hand and stabbed it in the tiger's abdomen.
"Whew"
The tiger was in pain, and when he turned around, he grabbed it, Li Tianqi saw the opportunity, and the spiritual power was injected into the sword, and he fell down with his head, and stabbed into the tiger's abdomen with a sword.
The tiger roared unwillingly, and finally gradually fell silent.
Li Tianqi wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat on the ground, his right hand still trembling. I can't stop being afraid.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he rubbed the tiger with his sword again, and then he reached out and put the tiger's corpse into the storage bag, looking into the depths of the dense forest, his brows tightened.
If it weren't for this time, in a few years, when this tiger was promoted to a second-level spirit beast, it would be equivalent to the strength of the foundation building period, and the people under the mountain would have suffered. I don't know if there is anything else.
At this time, Jiang Li, who was lying on the bed dangling his legs, suddenly sat up, looked at the depths of the lonely mountain, and a bead emerged from the center of his eyebrows, emitting a faint fluorescent light, no one saw it, and his eyes had turned pure black at this time.
