There is a famous mountain in Middle Earth, which is called Taxian Peak.

There is a saying that there was once a human immortal sitting in this mountain, but since the realm has come to the realm of human immortals, it is naturally immortal and immortal, so everyone only treats it as a joke. It is also said that there is a human immortal who left the heavens and went to a higher place, which is even more impossible in the eyes of many cultivators who are not low. The human immortal is already the highest, is it possible that there is even higher?

What nonsense.

However, because of these two completely different legends, this place still attracts many practitioners. They could climb the mountain, but they couldn't walk past the statue halfway up the mountain. Many people avoid talking about the reason. Through word of mouth, it has become an unwritten rule. Even if he is a saint, halfway up the mountain, he can only look higher along the mountain road, and then turn around and go down the mountain.

Today, it rained lightly on the Immortal Peak, and it was even more smoky, which made the already mysterious mountain even more veiled.

An energetic old man walked up the mountain road with an oil-paper umbrella that was already old, his pace was not fast, but he didn't seem to care about the scenery around him. When he met someone, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed the other party away, and he borrowed it quite politely. Since there are cultivators, it is natural to fight openly and secretly. What's more, there are no rules and regulations on the Immortal Peak, as long as you don't walk halfway up the mountain.

"What kind of means did you kid use to confuse our young lady and have to elope with you!"

A voice came not far away, and the old man followed the voice, and saw a group of guards in expensive armor lined up, surrounding the young man and woman. The old man raised his head and glanced at the sky, and said to himself: "It's still early, and it's idle to go up there, it's better to stay here, at least you can watch a show in vain." ”

With that, he walked in the other direction.

There were already many people around, and the old man squeezed to the innermost and asked softly with the people beside him, "What the hell is going on?" If you don't dislike it, can you help explain it?"

The man looked like an inconspicuous old man, and at first he didn't pay any attention to it. But after waiting for a while, it seemed that it was too boring to stand like this, so he told the old man the cause and effect of the incident.

It turned out that in this Immortal Peak for thousands of miles, the most powerful was the Liuqin Sect. The masters in the sect are like clouds, especially the sect master, it is said that before Jiazi closed the death pass, he was already a cultivator with wonderful skills, and a few years ago, he had been regarded by the outside world as the realm of the true path. And the sect master of this Liuqin sect has only one daughter, who is regarded as a pearl in his palm, even if he wants the stars in the sky, this sect master has to find a way to take them off. However, when he got out, he learned that his daughter had fallen in love with a young man. It was a good thing, but the fault was that the young man was a very poorly gifted waste. It is impossible to say whether he can cross the immortal barrier in this life, let alone whether he can travel thousands of miles in the five realms of immortals. Therefore, the sect master of the Liuqin Sect would beat the mandarin ducks, and he did not do anything excessive at first. Instead, he persuaded the young man to leave his daughter, and promised to give him a valuable treasure that he would rely on to make a living after leaving the sect.

But who knew that the young man not only did not accept this treasure, but eloped with the daughter of the sect master of the Liuqin Sect. This really annoyed this cultivator of the Zhen Dao realm, and with his thunderous anger, it was naturally the Liuqin Sect who poured out, and finally stopped them on the Immortal Peak. Because of the concern for the sect master's daughter, these guards did not make a move. Instead, the news was transmitted back to the sect, and when the sect master came in person, everything would be clear.

The young man protected the sect master's daughter behind him, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, Guo Ya, I won't let others take you away from me." Not even your father, unless I'm dead!"

At this time, Guo Ya was already crying with pear blossoms and rain, and she almost pleaded and said: "Li Min, I beg you, you can leave quickly." With me here to stop you, they don't dare to chase you. Deal...... I'm going to die!"

The young man Li Min smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Where are you going?"

He shook his head and continued, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying here, even if I can watch you a little longer." ”

The old man listened to the conversation between the two and sighed softly. He took a step forward, walked behind the guards, and said to him: "I say, everyone, are you so unreasonable? What a rare love affair, why do you want to kill that young man because of his waste? The old man has lived so long that there is no sand in his eyes, if you have to do this today, you will have to pass the old man's level!"

For Li Min, these words are tantamount to a long drought and nectar, and on the ones he often watches, there are many descriptions of the protagonist who died not long ago, but fortunately got the help of the old man passing by. It's just that looking at the old man's face, it doesn't look like the fairy wind bones written in general. Especially the linen clothes he was wearing, sewing and mending, if he got a pawn shop, I am afraid that it is not even worth a copper coin.

He looked at the old man suspiciously, puzzled.

And the already impatient guards who were waiting here turned their heads and shouted: "Hurry up and get out of my way, or I will kill you later!"

The old man immediately took a few steps back and returned to the crowd, shouting two words in his mouth: "Gotcha!"

The people around him instantly burst into wild laughter, and the cultivator who patiently explained the matter to the old man before even teased: "Why don't you see you using your housekeeping skills? A cultivator in the realm of the Dao realm shouldn't be so timid!"

The old man snorted coldly, and said angrily: "The old man is not a true way, but a saint who is like a fake!"

"Why don't you say you're a human immortal?" the man continued.

The old man pretended to be surprised and said, "This is all for you to see, young man, you have a very promising future!"

The man didn't bother to pay attention to such a embarrassing old man, turned around, changed his position and continued to watch the play.

The old man was Li Jingyun, who had already left his island in the middle of the lake, and the sword cultivation was already a thousand miles a day, not to mention the great sword immortal who could make the mountains and rivers under his feet only a line away. Unlike the other three, Li Jingyun doesn't like to fall directly on the top of the mountain, and every time he comes to this Stepping Immortal Peak, he walks up the mountain road, not in a hurry. As for the statue that demarcates the mountainside and warns others to die if they enter. In fact, it has nothing to do with him, but a thousand years ago, a young man accidentally taught a young man here how to make a sword faster, and the young man was grateful, so he specially erected the statue. In the heart of the young man at the beginning, how could a human immortal be with a cultivator? If it weren't for Li Jingyun's repeated stopping, the entire Immortal Peak would not be as lively as it is now.

And every time Li Jingyun walked past the statue, it was exactly a hundred steps, and the sword cultivator who had already changed from a teenager to an old man in the realm of the Great Zhen Dao would walk out and bow three times and kneel nine times, even if Li Jingyun wanted to stop it.

And the two of them have exactly the same conversation every time. Not a word, not a lot. Jushuku

"When are you going to smash that statue? ”

"There's nothing to talk about, I'm here just to warn them. Even so, it is already an act of transgression. Benefactor, you are a human immortal, and you are naturally different from them. ”

"Then change to another statue, it's so ugly that I can't even tell it's me. ”

The old man just shook his head, obviously refusing.

Li Jingyun in the crowd thought of this, looked at the statue that had stood not far away for many years, and said to himself: "Unknowingly, so many years have passed!"

......

Li Min's heart was like ashes, he never thought that it would be such a result. It's as if someone has snatched the life-saving straw in his hand, and there is not much time left for him. If he continues to delay, when the Liuqin Sect Master arrives, even if the immortal arrives in person, I am afraid it will be difficult to save him.

"Guo Ya, it seems that our fate is over here. When you go back, don't be sad, find a good husband and get married!" The dignified seven-foot man couldn't cry now: "The sect master loves you very much, and he will definitely not allow your future husband to bully you." This...... I'm relieved. ”

The guards suddenly parted, and a middle-aged man in a yellow robe stepped out. He frowned, looked at Li Min, and said very annoyedly: "Li Min, if you dare to abduct my daughter, then use your own life to pay off the debt!"

After Guo Ya heard this, she knelt on the ground with a thud, and she cried and said, "Father, please, don't kill Li Min, I'll go back to the sect with you." From now on, I will never see him again. ”

"It's late. The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Now that the matter has reached this point, it's not just a matter between you." It's more about the face of the sect and the reputation of our family. If this kid doesn't die, how can we Guo Jia raise his head at the foot of this Xianfeng Mountain? Good daughter, it's not your fault, it's all because this Li Min's realm is too low. If you really live with him, you will suffer more, although I am a father, I am distressed, but I am not ruthless, as long as you really feel happy. But how sinister the rivers and lakes are, how can you two be so young and realize it? It is true that disasters without reason do not happen very often, but if they do meet them, it is wishful thinking to escape death. Whenever I think of this, I go back to sleep and eat. That kid may be able to give you happiness, but he can't give you safety!"

Guo Ya knew that she couldn't make her father change her mind, she glanced back at Li Min, and when she thought that her sweetheart would die here today, she fell to the ground in a hurry.

The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward to pick up his daughter, and then yelled at the crowd around him: "Have you seen enough of the show?

When the crowd dispersed, only Li Jingyun was still standing in place, with words in his mouth: "It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world, there is nothing wrong with either side, I really didn't expect it." ”

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "What are you talking about, don't you get out of here, don't you have to stop until you have seen enough of our Liuqin Sect's jokes?"

"To tell you the truth, your so-called jokes are worthless in my eyes. Li Jingyun said softly: "I'm just thinking about whether there is a way to have the best of both worlds." ”

In fact, Li Jingyun's words were very sincere, but how could they understand the vision of a human immortal. So the simple words fell on their ears, and they became a yin and yang weirdness that intensified. Li Jingyun, who didn't know what they were thinking, continued: "Normally, I don't want to take care of things like this. ”

The middle-aged man, who was already in a bad mood, snorted coldly and reached out without saying anything. This was the first time he had used all his strength since he had reached the realm of the True Dao, and of course, the most crucial willingness was because of his love for his daughter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been really angry because of Li Jingyun's words. Since he is a cultivator, and he is a person who has already stepped over the bamboo basket to draw water, the tenacity of the Dao heart is very much what people can imagine. There was once a very elaborate Go master who pretended to be the hands of many practitioners and wanted to get rid of his enemies. The set situations were interlocking, but in the end, they were survived by the opponent, and in the end, they died in the hands of the opponent. And in the pursuit that has never been interrupted for ten years, the reason why the enemy was able to survive was only because he had been hanging a breath in his heart. No matter when, even if you are seriously injured, you don't care, as long as you make sure that the qi does not disperse.

It's just that this method is too extreme, but if there is a little mistake, it will fall into a state of no return. Not to mention the so-called broken and established, I am afraid that even the soul will dissipate and cannot be reunited.

The middle-aged man who has already established himself in the realm of the Zhendao is extremely confident, at least at the foot of this Immortal Peak Mountain, his position as a bull is unshakable. In this vast heaven, there are only four immortals, each with its own place of seclusion. It is not seen by ordinary people, and even if it is walked out, it will not be seen by ordinary people. Just like the emperor of the world, even if it is a private visit by Weifu, he will be in the middle of the grand chariot. Most of the cultivators above the realm of pseudo-saints are the heads of the families or hold important positions in the three sects. I can't get out of my body, and I have a lot of things to deal with every day.

Like a Confucian sage, the rules governing him are extremely complex. In the eyes of outsiders, it can even be said that there is no very low level of cultivators, but it seems that Confucian protégés enjoy it. If you meet and talk outside, maybe everyone seems to have a great escape.

Therefore, in the eyes of cultivators, the most difficult thing to deal with, and the one they are most unwilling to provoke, is that they have already crossed the realm of the Pure Dao of drawing water from a bamboo basket without danger. Especially in the Great Zhen Dao, most of the cultivators who have reached this realm have lived for more than a hundred years, and there is no one around them, and they have nothing to worry about. In addition, the realm is high enough, as long as it angers the perverse among them, it will be an endless pursuit. Even after a thousand years, this grudge is still remembered in the hearts of both sides. It's just that the cultivators who are being hunted down and killed are really forced to worry about it all day long, and it is difficult to keep it in their hearts.

Under the Great Zhen Dao, it is the realm of the Zhen Dao like a middle-aged man. Most of the cultivators in this realm are the masters of a sect, and it is not that there are no mountains and fields to cultivate, but there are many less. Being able to survive the demon level of the bamboo basket to draw water is not only not easy. Even Zhuge Chen, who has now lost the body of the god king, does not dare to say that he will definitely be able to cross it safely. After all, everyone's demons are different, and the experience of previous people cannot be used as a guarantee that you will survive the difficulties. What's more, there is still an unwritten hundred-year constraint in the realm of the Zhendao, since the day of entering the Zhendao, if you have not touched the bottleneck of the Great Zhendao within a hundred years, you will stand still for the rest of your life, and it will be difficult to climb even one step upward. Although it is just a rumor, it has always been the case, and it has been tacitly taken by practitioners to heart.

In fact, if it weren't for the abduction of his most distressed daughter by the young man who didn't know what to do, the middle-aged man would not have walked out of the dead pass so early. Because of the hundred-year constraint, he originally thought that he would take advantage of his own experience to pass through the demon pass, bless his soul, stabilize the realm, and digest his feelings. But because of this incident, he had to get out of it, and from that moment on, Li Min was already a corpse in his heart. This is the case with many practitioners who have attained the Path of Perfection, and they have become ruthless, just as they call the Path. Maybe it's because you have walked through the inner demon pass and comprehended the avenue, or maybe you have sunk into it without knowing it.

The middle-aged man frowned, snorted coldly and said to Li Jingyun: "You old man, can you go or not?" If you say something cool in front of me, believe it or not, I will kill you!" As he spoke, he clenched his fists and waited for Li Jingyun to walk away from him.

However, after three breaths, Li Jingyun did not react. The middle-aged man immediately became furious, his whole body leaned forward, and his fist landed like thunder. Even if this blow fell on the head of a Heavenly Mandate Realm cultivator, it would immediately smash the top of the opponent's head, which was the terrifying place of a Zhen Dao. Although it is not as good as the saint's physique that has been repeatedly tempered by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, since he has been able to generate some inductions with the Great Dao, it is far from being comparable to cultivators under this realm.

But this punch only hovered above Li Jingyun's head, but it didn't fall for a long time.

The middle-aged man looked around and shouted coldly: "Which Taoist friend of the same realm is staying aside, why don't you come out and see it?"

Not far away, halfway up the mountain, there was a crane-haired old man walking slowly, obviously just one step, but suddenly came to the middle-aged man, he first knelt down towards Li Jingyun. Then he turned around, raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man who was already invincible, and said slowly: "The old man is a great master, and he is also a sword cultivator, how can he be in the same realm as you?"
