Volume 1: Seeking Immortals Chapter 5: Listening to Immortals in the Taoist Academy
The mountain road is rugged, the old Taoist is only one person to live, and has not built roads and paved stones, and the top of the mountain is a wilderness, and there is not much artificial repair.
After Wang Han and the others walked with the old Taoist for a long time, in the barren forest, a Taoist courtyard appeared in the field of vision of several people.
"Come with me. ”
Lao Dao walked in front and greeted a few people.
"Yes, Senpai. ”
Ye Jian and the others followed the old way.
The Taoist temple is not big or small, and it is quite old. There are some drainage ditches around it, and there is a blue stone road when you enter the hospital.
The courtyard is a small patio, the middle hall is a slightly larger main hall, which enshrines an unknown Taoist, Wang Han naively thought that it would be Sanqing, it seems that the two worlds really have no connection.
After being introduced by Lao Dao, I learned that it was a Hongchen Daoist who was enshrined, and it was a cultivator who became an immortal thousands of years ago.
There are six small rooms on both sides, which are also for guests.
Lao Dao took Wang Han and a few people to worship in the Taoist courtyard before saying:
"There are six wings on both sides, one is a firewood room, the old man lives in one, and four rooms, the house is simple, a few people will live for two days. ”
Wang Han thanked him.
Five people and four rooms, and finally Li Zheng and Zhu Laoba squeezed into a room.
It was already evening after they had settled down, and they were resting in their rooms.
After Lao Dao explained, he left alone, saying that he was hunting some game for a few people. Ye Jian didn't worry about the old Taoist going out in the evening, so he insisted on going with him.
Wang Han was resting, and suddenly heard the voices of people in the next room, thinking that Zhu Lao Wu had woken up, and hurriedly went over to check.
Sure enough, after Li Zheng opened the door, Wang Han saw that Zhu Lao Wu had woken up and sat on a wooden chair.
"Great, Brother Zhu, you're awake!"
Wang Han hurriedly congratulated, it turned out that Zhu Lao Wu had been awake for a while, and after Li Zhengfang, he knew that several people had been rescued.
After Zhu Laowu's episode, everything returned to calm.
When night came, Lao Dao lit a fire in the courtyard of the Taoist temple. Several people helped to move wooden chairs, and the seven of them ate a wild boar from Lao Dao and Ye Jian.
"The old man has lived here for more than ten years, and this is the first time that he has barbecued meat with a few little dolls in my courtyard!
The old Taoist is old, probably more than 70 years old. When speaking, the vicissitudes of words give people the feeling that they are about to die.
"The old-timers are powerful and strong, and they will be able to live a long life!"
Ye Jian said to the old Taoist.
"Hehe, you kid is really good at talking. By the way, the old man has a good pot of tea, waiting for me to bring it to make it to get rid of the greasy. ”
I saw the old Taoist take out a teapot and a teapot and six teacups from the room.
Wang Han saw that the old Taoist was moving slowly, so he went to help get the well water and the shelf of the teapot.
So he began to light the fire and roast the pig to make tea.
The door of the temple was wide open, because the temple was built on top of the mountain, and it was dark at this time, and the stars hanging low in the distance seemed to be at the door.
There are scattered rivers outside the door, and fireworks are lit up inside the door.
"Senior, you are an immortal?"
Wang Han asked curiously as he ate. Ye Jian and the others were also quite curious, the masters of the Jianghu people definitely did not have the ability of the old Taoists.
"Oh, why did you say that?"
Seeing Wang Han ask, the old Taoist took a sip of tea and looked at Zhang Han lightly.
"During the day, I saw my predecessors pinching the seal in their hands, and the long sword rose in response to the decision and turned into a streamer. Isn't this a means only available to the Immortal Family?"
In fact, Wang Han is not mentally retarded, although he has never seen the legendary first-class master in the rivers and lakes, he also knows that he does not have the ability of an old Taoist sword.
If you want to resist the sword, the old Taoist is afraid that only the legendary immortal cultivator can do it.
As for the immortals, Wang Han didn't think that he had the luck to touch them.
Sure enough.
When the old Taoist saw Wang Han say this, he immediately laughed.
"Little friend, if the old man is the legendary immortal, it would be fine!"
Then he looked at the five people with serious expressions.
"I wonder how many people have ever heard of the Immortal Cultivation Realm?"
When Wang Han heard this, he stood up suddenly.
"Senior, do you know where the Immortal Cultivation Realm is?"
Seeing that Wang Han was so excited, the old Taoist waved his hand and motioned for Wang Han to sit down and not be excited. After sitting down, the old Taoist then slowly said to the seven people.
"The old man doesn't know where the immortal cultivation realm is, but he has had some opportunities to cultivate for decades before he has the ability to do this. ”
The old Taoist looked at the excited Wang Han, and then said:
"Although I don't know where the immortal cultivation world is, I met a person who cultivates immortals when I was young, and according to the situation at that time, there should be an immortal cultivation world in my country!"
It turned out that this old Taoist was not a person from the immortal cultivation realm, maybe he just had some inheritance and cultivated the ability to cultivate this imperial sword, Wang Han thought.
"Oh, so do you know how to find it?"
Wang Han didn't want to let go of the opportunity, although it was said that the Immortal Ascension Order had a guiding effect, but who knew what kind of cause and effect it was to guide, maybe it was an old Taoist?
Not only did Wang Han look curious, but so did Ye Jian.
"Come, talk while eating. I don't know why Xiaoyou is obsessed with that ethereal fairy fate?"
When the old Taoist saw that the roasted meat in the fire was already cooked, he took out a knife to cut the meat for several people.
"Thank you, seniors. ”
Wang Han took the barbecue, and then said:
"It's not a secret, the younger generation of Wuzhou people, there is a big brother who is terminally ill, and it is rumored that only the Wuyang Pill that is only available in the immortal cultivation world can be cured, so the younger generation has gone all the way to the northwest to wander around to find that opportunity. ”
Except for the Immortal Ascension Order, there is nothing else to hide from a few people.
After hearing what Wang Han said, Ye Jian also opened his mouth.
"I never thought that the little brother was also looking for that fairy fate, so he was on the way with me!"
When I was in the cave before, I heard Xia Yuyan say that she went to Longhu Mountain to find immortal fate. Wang Han was clear in his heart, but a few people didn't take the initiative to say, and Zhang Han didn't take the initiative to ask.
It is taboo to walk the rivers and lakes and inquire about other people's purpose and itinerary.
So when he heard Ye Jian's words, Wang Han was surprised.
"Ao? How many of you are also looking for immortals?"
"Exactly!" After Ye Jian's complaint, Wang Hanfang learned that this Xia Yuyan was the daughter of the city lord of Youzhou City, and when he heard that there were traces of immortals in Longhu Mountain, he decided to find it.
Youzhou is one of the few big cities in the country, located in Xianlin County. Xianlin County is just east of Qianzi County, where Zhang Han is located.
I think these people had set off half a month ago, and they happened to meet themselves who had just come out of Wuzhou, Qianzi County.
Youzhou's economy is prosperous and powerful, no wonder this Xia Yuyan travels casually, and she will carry two second-rate masters as escorts, Wang Han muttered in his heart.
They talked all night long, and did not sleep.
It may be that no one has been here in the mountains for a long time, and the old Taoist has spoken a lot, so he told a few people about his adventures.
The old Taoist's original name was Zhao Er, and he was an ordinary peasant child in Sanqing County, and the whole family lived in the three green mountains to farm for a living, although there was a hardship of taxes, but they could barely make a living.
Later, one day, a mountain spirit in the mountains ran out of Sanqing Mountain, and the bloodthirsty mountain spirit killed the family of the old Taoist.
Just at the sign of the old man's despair, an immortal saved him.
Under the bitter pleading of the old Taoist, the immortal was also moved by compassion, so he left a sword and a sword for the old Taoist, so that the old Taoist could practice here and protect the safety of the party.
At this time, the lonely old Taoist began to practice while leaving the country, and when he was successful, he was already sixty years old.
The old Taoist who entered his old age tasted the pain of wandering, and then returned to Sanqing Mountain to scatter his surplus wealth and built this Taoist temple on the mountain.
What happened when he was young made the old Taoist hate the mountain spirits to the core, so he wandered around when he was idle, and when he encountered the mountain spirits that killed people, he got rid of them.
As the story goes, at midnight, the old Taoist went to the firewood room again to collect some firewood to burn, and the tea in the teapot had already been changed once.
"The ancestors lived in seclusion here and still did not forget the dawn people, they are really living immortals. ”
Ye Jian sincerely admires the old Taoist, and he still has the world in his seventies.
The old Taoist did not answer Ye Jianzhi's words, and then said:
"Ah~ Everyone in the world is seeking immortality, and so is old decay. Alas, it's a pity that there is no such fate. ”
Although the old man sighed, his face was light and light. When people reach seventy, all kinds of obsessions have become a cloud of smoke.
"The immortal fate is erratic, you wait for a few people to find the immortal fate, you can know how to cultivate the immortal~"
Lao Dao looked at a few people, sat with his hands and danced in the foothole, and when he was thirsty, he took a sip of tea and continued.
"Please also ask the seniors to teach!"
Seeing that the old Taoist was going to teach himself a few people, he hurriedly listened to him.
"Cultivating immortals, you have to have this heavenly luck! What is this heavenly luck? Heavenly luck is the spiritual root, the chance, and the blessing. Without heavenly luck, nothing can be cultivated. ”
"Second, look at yourself, with heavenly luck, you have to work hard. ”
The old Taoist pointed to the sky, and then to himself.
"Linggen, Linggen, this is the essential difference between immortals!"
"Without a spiritual root, nothing can be cultivated! Just like the old decayed himself, the incomplete fire attribute spiritual root, it is precisely because of this that the immortal did not want me to follow back then, and now the remnant of his life is about to come to an end, and he has only cultivated to the middle stage of the Gathering Spirit Realm. ”
The old Taoist muttered to himself, his eyes ethereal.
"Gathering Spirit Realm, senior, what is Gathering Spirit Realm?" Wang Han was curious.
"The Gathering Spirit Realm is the first realm of cultivating immortals, but the old decay has never crossed it in his life. It's all because the spiritual roots are incomplete!"
