More than ten days passed in a flash, and Zhang Xian disguised himself as a poor scholar and concentrated on hurrying.

He walked along the official road of the county seat, with his foot strength, comparable to riding a horse, he walked more than 1,000 miles in the past ten days, and the road was too peaceful, and he had transferred from Nanzhou to Southwest Prefecture, passing through several counties on the way, and came to Gucheng County.

There are many mountains and rivers in this area, the peaks are connected, the mountains are dangerous, since ancient times, the residence of the hermits of the immortals, the Taoist temples can be seen everywhere, the mountain streams are shrouded in clouds and mist, just like the city in the sky, so it is said to be the ancient city.

Taixu Mountain is the highest peak located in the ancient city and county, and it is the main altar of the Taiqing lineage.

However, the Taiqing faction pays attention to the forgetfulness of the Taishang, living in seclusion, being at ease, not confined to the world, and the inheritance within the faction is very loose, and even the imperial court can not find anyone to receive it, so only a few Taoist temples in Taixu Mountain were canonized, as well as the legendary Taiqing head Mu Daozhen.

Zhang Xian went to Taixu Mountain, one is to stay away from the world, avoid disasters and hide, and the other is to visit hermit immortals and seek Taoism and practice.

However, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, he had his own fate, and he had already obtained the Dao Fa, so he just needed to practice.

He is now going to Taixu Mountain, just looking for a place to settle down, and then concentrate on cultivation, striving to enter the Tao as soon as possible.

Entering the area of Gucheng County, the road becomes very rugged, as far as the eye can see, there are high mountains everywhere, and between the mountains, there is a flat official road, which can lead to Tianshu County at the foot of Taixu Mountain.

Speaking of this official road, it also has a great history, in the previous dynasties, Emperor Qian indulged in Fang Xian, in order to come to Taixu Mountain for a visit, the people and money, collected 300,000 servants, it took several years to open up this official road, just along the way through seven counties, named after the Big Dipper.

He planned to go to Gucheng County first, and go to Taixu Mountain from the official road of Gucheng County, and inquire about the situation of Taixu Mountain by the way.

In the afternoon, when he turned to the foot of a mountain, he saw a village in front of him, next to the official road, and an inn at the intersection.

This area is too remote, there are even few post houses on the official road, and it is rare to have people here.

There was still a commotion in the inn, a group of caravans were resting and drinking tea, and some travelers, as well as some officers and soldiers, stood in the middle of the road to block the way.

Zhang Xian was slightly puzzled, thinking, how could there be officers and soldiers blocking the road on the way?

Seeing Zhang Xian coming over, an officer and soldier stepped forward to investigate, and saw that Zhang Xian was a scholar, and his tone was quite polite, and asked: "This little gentleman, may I ask what to call him, where are you from, where are you going, do you have a household registration document?"

"Oh. Zhang Xian pretended to look abrupt, like a nerd, but his mind was spinning quickly, this girl shouldn't be chasing him, but he had gone so far, and it didn't look like he was chasing him.

His mind moved, and he said casually: "Xiaosheng's surname is Zhang, his name is Hao, he is an idler, he lives in Nanshan County, Qinghe County, Zhongzhou, and he went to Taixu Mountain to seek immortal cultivation, and he never brought a document. ”

The household registration document is a certificate, issued by the household department of the imperial court, and it is generally brought with it when going out on a long journey, and the imperial court will set up checkpoints to check it, because it is related to the household registration tax.

However, it is generally not checked, and only when something happens, there will be a checkpoint.

"Yo, it's from Zhongzhou again. ”

When the officers and soldiers heard this, they did not suspect it, there are often such scholars, after reading the book of immortals, they ran away from home, came to Taixu Mountain to ask for immortals, and asked that a few days ago there was a poor Xiucai from Zhongzhou, so he was not surprised.

"This big brother is polite, dare to ask what's wrong?" Zhang Xian bowed his hand and touched the situation first.

The officers and soldiers said: "Recently, there have been thieves around the ancient city, and the county guard ordered passers-by to rest at the entrance of this village first, and we will escort them over later." ”

"I see. Zhang Xian reacted, this area is remote, and it is normal for thieves to block the road and rob, but he was puzzled and asked: "This area is the Holy Land of Fang Immortals, these thieves dare to be presumptuous, are they not afraid of offending the immortals?"

"Uh...... Fang Immortal Holy Land?"

Hearing this, several officers and soldiers laughed, and even the caravan drinking tea next to them also laughed.

A man from the horse gang shouted and said: "Young man, if you don't study hard at home, take the test to gain fame, and come to this barren mountain to do something, where are there immortals in this Taixu Mountain, they are all fake Taoist priests who fool people." ”

"This ......" Zhang Xian was stunned, how do you feel that this wind is wrong, this area is the holy land of Fang Immortals, it should be the simple atmosphere of the fairy township, why don't these people respect the gods.

"This big brother, how can you say this, why are there no immortals?" Zhang Xian asked suspiciously.

The man of the horse gang said: "In the past, the immortals of Taixu Mountain, that is very powerful, I often hear that someone met immortals in the mountains, my father told me, when he was chopping wood in the mountains, he also saw an immortal with his own eyes, but the immortal did not see ordinary people, and went away. ”

"As for now, I haven't heard of anyone who has seen an immortal for a long time, the Taoist temple on Taixu Mountain has been sealed by the imperial court, and it has been stained with worldly atmosphere, and it is busy collecting incense money all day long, and the spells are not working. ”

Another person next to him accosted him and said: "Yes, the previous immortals, those were all the Qing cultivation of the Eight Classics, and the money for the incense was also used to help the people in the mountains, and now they have built their own Taoist temples, serving those high-ranking officials and nobles, greedy for incense, and the spell will definitely not work." ”

"You poor scholar, let's go back quickly, study well, take the test to make a name for yourself and glorify your ancestors, don't read some messy fairy books, and come to this Taixu Mountain to dream of immortals. ”

"yes, yes, let's go home......"

A few people said, all of them advised Zhang Xian to go back, after this Taixu Mountain was sealed by the imperial court, it was no longer a place for immortals to cultivate.

"......" Zhang Xian was speechless by default, but he understood in his heart, the Taiqing faction pays attention to being too forgetful, and is beyond the world, after Taixu Mountain was sealed by the imperial court, there are countless dignitaries and nobles who came to ask for immortals, and this has become a secular place, and the hermits of Fang Xian should be far away from here.

"Thank you for your kind words, but I won't go back if I can't find the immortals. ”

Zhang Xian said with a serious face, everyone shook their heads, people like Zhang Xian are not used to seeing it, Zhang Xian saw this, and smiled indifferently in his heart, and suddenly felt interesting, everyone didn't know, he was an immortal with Taoism.

He sat down on his own and shouted, "Little second brother, come to a pot of tea." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly sent a pot of tea, he took out the kettle, and said, "Little second brother, where is your water tank, I want to get some water to drink on the road." ”

"You sit down, the little one will help you fill up. The shopkeeper said.

Zhang Xian shook his head and said, "Thank you, little second brother, but I'm afraid that your water is not clean, if you drink it and get sick, I can't find a doctor on the road, or I will fetch water myself." ”

When the second little ...... shopkeeper heard this, he thought that the scholar was still cautious, and hurriedly said: "The water tank is in the backyard, we are the mountain spring water in the village, it is very clean, and we pick fresh water every morning." ”

As he spoke, he led the way to the backyard, Zhang Xian followed, the backyard was piled with a lot of firewood, grass and sundries, and there was a large water tank next to it, and there was more than half a tank of water in the tank.

He glanced at no one around, and recited the ** mantra in a low voice, and the shopkeeper only felt that he was confused and distracted.

He took out a bottle from his pocket, uncorked it, pointed it to the water tank, recited a spell in a low voice, urged the inner Qiankun spell, and shouted softly: "Close!"

I saw the transparent distortion of the void, dàng) up a circle of ripples, a whirlpool absorbed, the invisible force rolled up the water, put it into the bottle, most of the tank of water was filled with seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, cover, cork, put back in the pocket.

With this spell, he did not have to look for water on the way, and filled the kettle with water, which he usually used to drink, so as not to be discovered by others.

"Little second brother, I'm ready. Zhang Xian said.

"Forehead......" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and quickly came back to his senses, completely unaware of why he suddenly lost his mind just now, but he didn't think much about it, and said: "Objective, I didn't lie to you, this spring water is very fast." ”

"Hehe, thank you little second brother, little second brother has worked hard to carry water, these paulownia have rewarded you. ”

Zhang Xian smiled indifferently, and casually touched four or five copper coins to reward, and asked for other people's water, but he still had to give money.

"Yo, thank you, officer. ”

The shopkeeper hurried up with the money, with a happy face, he originally looked at this guest officer like a poor scholar, but he didn't expect to be generous.

Zhang Xian went out of the backyard, waiting for the escort of the officers and soldiers, and the shopkeeper was busy with other things, but after a while, he heard a loud woman's voice in the backyard, and shouted viciously:

"Wang Xiaoer, you are lazy again today, why didn't you fill the water tank, what should you do if the guests want to drink tea and fetch water at this time. ”

"Oops...... shopkeeper shouted in pain, "Boss, don't do it, I picked it up, and there was more than half a tank just now." ”

The proprietress shouted: "Where is most of the tank? You show the old lady, most of the tank has been drunk by ghosts." ”

"Huh, where is this water...... shopkeeper was stunned, and said unjustly: "There was obviously half a tank just now, but it was really drunk by a ghost?"

The proprietress drank, "Don't go and fetch water yet." ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" The shopkeeper hurriedly responded, and walked out with a bucket, his face was stunned, what the hell.

When the tea drinkers saw this, they couldn't help laughing, they often knew that the proprietress was a widow, but she was notoriously fierce.

Zhang Xian lowered his head to drink tea, smiled and said nothing, he gave money, and he didn't blame him if he was scolded by the boss's wife.

After waiting for another half an hour, it was not early, the officers and soldiers left a team to be stationed at the entrance of the village, and the rest of the officers and soldiers set off with shouts, and everyone hurried to get busy.

After a few moments, everyone set off together.

This is already very close to the ancient city, only ten miles away, Zhang Xian thought in his heart, Taixu Mountain is almost here, don't encounter any thieves to delay, in two days, he will be able to reach Tianshu County under Taixu Mountain.

However, he was afraid of something, and when he passed through a forest, Zhang Xian noticed that someone was secretly peeping, it should be the thief's eyeliner, and after peeping, he quickly left to report the news.

Zhang Xian couldn't help frowning, taking advantage of the fact that the people around him were not paying attention, he stared at the thief who reported the news.
