Volume 1: Seeking Immortals Chapter 9: One Man and One Sword
As soon as the sky was bright, Wang Han got up early in the morning.
After eating breakfast as usual, I packed up my belongings and left the inn.
At this time, the street is quite deserted, a few vendors selling breakfast are shouting in the cool of the morning, and a few people are carrying water to sweep the street.
Because it was a peaceful season, the city gate of Ganzhou was open day and night, and only five or six soldiers were on duty here, and Wang Han rode out from the northwest gate.
As for the horses, when he returned last night, Wang Han threw down a hundred taels of silver and asked the innkeeper to buy them overnight, and he also bought some food and spices and six or seven fire folds.
When he came out of Sanqingshan before, Wang Han ate half a moon of game that was not salty or light, and his mouth was bland, so Wang Han decided to treat himself better.
There is a large turbulent river in the northwest of the country, called the Glacier River. It originates from the vast ice field at the northernmost point of the country, and flows from the northwest through the mountains to the spirit country in the west.
At this time, a man and a horse stood on the big bluestone on the bank of the glacier.
"This ice is so spectacular!"
Wang Han rode his horse here, and heard the glacial water rolling forward, and the sound was like thunder when it hit the mountains on both sides.
"What a place to go! ”
Wang Han muttered to himself and laughed, but his voice was soon swallowed up by the sound of the river.
Although the water of the glacier is extremely fast, it is extremely clear and the water quality is extremely good.
Looking at the sky, Wang Han decided to rest here tonight.
After choosing a slightly flat place by the river and tying the horse to the grass not far away, Wang Han hunted a few wild games on the mountain by the river and cleaned them by the river. I picked up dry firewood and made a fire, and made a shelf from a few branches to roast the game.
Wang Han's hunting skills are extremely poor, he only has a long sword in his hand, thanks to the large number of wild animals in the mountains, and he has internal strength, and his running speed is a little faster than ordinary people, so he can find food in this mountain.
Curling green smoke rose by the river, and Wang Han enjoyed a trace of comfort after a long journey.
"According to the map, we have to climb over the barrier Qianniu Mountain on the northwest border of the country. I hope I don't run into any more moths. ”
Wang Han, who had been lying down for a while, took out the map, and after looking at it, he felt melancholy.
The guidance of the Immortal Ascension Order became stronger and stronger, and it was obviously getting closer and closer to the destination, which gave Wang Han, who had been in a hurry, a little comforted.
The light faded, and it didn't take long for it to get dark.
About half an hour later, Wang Han finally roasted the game. After hitting a pot of glacial water, he ate it by himself.
Daily homework still has to be done, "Seven Xuangong" has been completed at this time, with its strong internal force, Wang Han opened up thirty-six acupuncture points in the whole body three days ago, and successfully became a third-rate master.
After another three days, the number of acupuncture points opened has reached forty.
Feeling the internal force that runs through the whole body, Wang Han roars between the mountains and rivers on weekdays, and the roar is like a dragon roaring and a tiger's roar, which is already quite powerful, and often withstands the abandonment of the forest by the birds on the roadside mountains.
Rushing during the day, practicing the "Seven Xuangong" for two hours at night, and occasionally reading the "Pharmacopoeia", unconsciously made Wang Han a real ascetic.
After a night, Wang Han once again opened a hole, and he was in a good mood. As usual, he cleared his throat every morning, attracting the birds on the mountains on both sides of the river.
After hitting a pot of glacial water, leading the horses, he leaned towards the official road in the distance.
As soon as he got on the official road, he saw a caravan in the distance slowly moving towards him, obviously going to the Spirit Kingdom to do trade.
Wang Han thought carefully.
This place is far away from the emperor's capital, and it is far away from the real emperor of the sky. According to the Bai Jiu mark on the map, there are many fugitives who have left the country hidden in Qianniu Mountain.
The Lingguo did not allow these people to enter the country, and they could not return to the bustling city of the country, so they had to settle down in the Qianniu Mountain, far away from Emperor Gao, to rob the caravans that usually came and went to trade to make a living.
The imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times, but the terrain of Qianniu Mountain is complex and the mountains and rivers are vast. The army ended hastily many times without making an inch.
If you travel alone and encounter that group of extremely vicious people, you will lose your horses, money and food, and your family and life will be lost.
It seems that only the chance of safe passage with the caravan will be the greatest, and after judging the risk a little, Wang Han waited for the caravan to arrive.
......
"Phew!"
"Who are you, and why are you blocking our way?"
There were five or six people in front of the caravan, and in the middle were more than ten carriages, and there was a coachman in the car, as for what was in the car, Wang Han had no way of knowing. At the end of the caravan, a dozen horsemen followed, all armed except for the coachmen.
Seeing a rough young man blocking the way, the leader stopped his horse and shouted at Wang Han.
"Hello this eldest brother, in Xia Wang Han, I want to ask for immortals in the northwest and ask why the bandits in Qianniu Mountain are rampant in front of me, and I dare not go alone in the next person. I beg the convoy to take me in, and I am willing to be a guard in the caravan!"
Wang Han tried his best to be sincere, and his face was sincere.
"Shaoxia, wait a moment, you wait for me to ask my master for you. ”
The strong man who asked Wang Han was obviously not indistinguishable from right and wrong, and after hearing what Wang Han said, he hurriedly sent a person next to him to the rear convoy to ask.
The convoy in front stopped, and those behind followed.
"Zhao Si, did you encounter any situation? Why did the convoy stop?"
In one of the carriages, an old man felt the carriage stop, pulled the curtain and asked the driver.
"Go back to Mr. Zhang, wait for me to call someone to take a look!"
The driver was about to look for someone to investigate, but he saw a man riding a horse in front of him.
"Huh! Zhang Lao, there was a rough young man who wanted to cross Qianniu Mountain to find immortals and asked, because the bandits in Qianniu Mountain were rampant and did not dare to go alone, so he stopped the convoy and said that he was willing to be a guard in the convoy and wanted to go with us. ”
"Then let him and a few of you stand guard in front. ”
Being able to explore the way in front of the caravan is naturally very discerning, and if you can come and ask, it must be that person who is not a threat to the caravan.
Zhang Lao put down the curtain, and his subordinates were still relieved.
"Yes!"
When the messenger received the order, he rode his horse and went forward.
Zhang Han, who was waiting, saw the person who reported the news coming back, and knew that news was coming.
Sure enough, the person who only heard the news arched his hand to the strong man in front of Zhang Han and said.
"Big brother! Elder Zhang has an order, let this person and me wait in front of the guard. ”
"Okay, then you can walk with me!"
With approval, the strong man recruited Wang Han, and Wang Han turned the horse's head and walked in parallel with the strong man. The caravan slowly walked up again.
An official road winds and stretches into the distance, and finally disappears into the mountains. Approaching the border, there were fewer cities, and there were only barren mountains and mountains on both sides of the caravan.
The caravan traveled for several days, and at this time it had reached the border, and when it came out of the border, it was the vicious Qianniu Mountain.
Under the orders of Zhang Lao, the caravan spent a day repairing in a small border town to purchase the necessary supplies on the road.
......
Longhu Mountain, which is tens of thousands of miles, has become one of the world's famous mountains that are well-known from the country because of its continuous anecdotes.
A few months ago, a villager at the bottom of the mountain saw that the mountain had been auspicious, and the sky was emitting a glow for several days.
So the villagers under the mountain were curious, so they went into Longhu Mountain together, only to see a small hill in Longhu Mountain that was cut into flat ground without knowing what was stopped!
A stone tablet was erected on the flat ground, and a book was written
"The Immortal Sect wants to establish the world, and it is specially announced to the world that if there are immortal seekers, they can go here and choose people to give immortals. ”
The stele was erected, but there was no one.
After the villagers in the mountains came out, the news spread for a while. But most people still rumor and grandstand for it.
Everything is because the number of immortals has not appeared in the world for hundreds of years, and the theory of immortals has been gradually diluted by people.
Some people either don't believe it, some people believe it but don't believe that the opportunity will fall on their heads, so they take it as a lively view, the three are inconvenient to leave the country, and it will take months to go back, not to mention that there are many dangers, so most people don't take it seriously, and they are busy taking care of themselves.
Even so, there are still many people who want to go to Longhu Mountain. One is for the immortal seekers, these people have traveled thousands of miles from all over the country to Longhu Mountain, hoping to seek a glimmer of opportunity to get rid of the mortal dust.
The second is for those who seek medical treatment, and those who are terminally ill or incurable diseases hope to seek the elixir to continue their lives.
Three good deeds, most of these people have nothing to do all day long, have a lot of money, and are curious.
In the past two months, these three types of people have gathered a lot at the foot of Longhu Mountain.
At the foot of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, I saw three men and one woman walking together, which was the four Ye Jian who parted ways with Wang Han.
"Miss, look, this is Dragon Tiger Mountain!"
In the past month, Zhu Laowu's injuries have healed, and at this time, I was happy to see the Longhu Mountain where several people had worked hard and broken a brother to arrive.
"Hmm"
Xia Yuyan, who was walking in front, responded softly.
"It seems that many people have already arrived here before us, so let's hurry up the mountain!"
This is the only way to go up the mountain, and there are many traces left on the road, Ye Jian looked at it and reported to Xia Yuyan.
"Let's go!"
After Xia Yuyan finished speaking, she walked up the mountain towards the winding road, and Ye Jian and the four of them followed closely.
"Yo, here's a chick, she's really smart. Do you want the uncle to accompany you, it must be lonely along the way, hahahahaha. ”
After the four of them entered the mountain, it took a long time to find the legendary small hill that was cut off by the immortals, and it took half an hour to reach the platform, and as soon as they got on the platform, a thin voice reached Xia Yuyan's ears.
When I looked closely, it turned out to be two obscene men, two of them were thin, one had long crooked melons and cracked jujube front teeth protruding, and the other had a dark face like an unjust case. The two looked at Xia Yuyan with lewd eyes, completely ignoring the three people behind Xia Yuyan.
"If you want to live, get out of the way, don't insult my young lady's eyes!"
Ye Jian warned the two.
"Hmph, where did you come from..."
After the black-faced man finished speaking, he saw a flash of sword light, and his throat was separated, blood flowed, and the blackface wanted to cover it with both hands but in vain, and finally lost his breath and fell to the ground.
The person who shot it was Ye Jian!
It turned out that when Ye Jian was in Sanqing Mountain, the old Taoist gave him a swordsmanship, called sword drawing. The cultivation along the way has been quite fruitful, and I am worried that there is no place to use it, so this deflated three will automatically be sent to the door, so I will test the sword for Ye Jian with my life.
"Dare to kill my good brother, I want your life!"
When the other saw that his partner was killed with a sword in front of everyone, his heart was angry, his eyes were blood-red, and he drew his long sword and was about to step forward to kill Ye Jian to avenge his brother.
"Joker!"
Where could Ye Jian accommodate this person, and a sword light stepped forward sideways and took this person's life.
Ye Jian put away the sword and did not speak. The four of them found a clearing and rested.
"Hey, these are a few hard stubbles, I can't mess with them!"
At this time, there were already thousands of people on the platform, and many people saw with their own eyes that the two provocative people were killed by two swords, and immediately listed the four people as targets that could not be provoked.
Ye Jian heard what these people were talking about, and sneered in his heart. This is what I want, my own young lady is embarrassed, and when Ye Jian was worried about how to deal with the entanglement of these people in the rivers and lakes in the future, these two wastes collided. So it can just kill chickens and monkeys and deter those with bad intentions.
So he decided to kill him with one person and one sword, although both of them were third-rate masters, but under their own swords, it was impossible to escape.
There is no shortage of masters on the platform, and when he saw what Ye Jian did, he just looked at it indifferently, showing disdain.
