Chapter 10, Qingxu Immortal grows tall and strong and the strongest earth immortal Xu Guixi
There is a small town in the southeast of Dongsheng Prefecture, called "Surabaya Town", thousands of years ago in the town of a Zhuangzi, Linjiazhuang once produced two immortals, Qingxu Immortal and his scholar.
The name of the Qingxu Immortal has not been handed down, but this number alone is like thunder on the five continents, and no one knows it. His scholar's name has been passed down, because he refuses to give himself a Taoist name, he is just a scholar of the Qingxu Immortal, his name is Xu Guixi, and he is the strongest earth immortal. Later, the Qingxu Daoist exhausted his life's magic weapon and arranged an enchantment for the beloved Taoist couple, so that her soul could not be dispersed and she had the opportunity to reshape her body. And Xu Guixi guarded the spirit of his master mother after the clear void and soared, until the end of Shouyuan.
"Is this Nima so touching?" Xu Ming has read a lot of books in the past few days, and he has a general understanding of this world, for example, there are no stone monkeys in Dongsheng Prefecture, where he is now, and there are no rampant demon beasts in Beiluzhou in the north, but there are cattle and sheep everywhere and continuous snow-capped mountains. The most widely circulated of these books is actually the manuscript of this storyteller that history is not history, and novels are not novels. It seems that no matter what world you are in, touching stories are very popular.
"There used to be a river in Surabaya Town, which was called Surabaya, and then there was a dragon in the river, and Xu Guixi cut off his head with a finger, and moved the mountain to fill the river, and buried the dragon, so there was no Surabaya, but an additional mountain range. Xu Ming told Tang Jinling the story of their birthplace, "I always thought it was the movement of the earth's crust!"
In the past few days, there have been more people coming to stay in the hotel, and an inn in the five-story building has become full, a little noisy, but fortunately, the soundproof formation of the inn has been opened, and Xu Ming can continue to read carefully. "Is it so picky, I didn't open the formation when no one was there before, and I listened to it for days and snored. Xu Mingzheng was flipping through the book and breaking his thoughts, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in. Xu Ming put down the book in his hand, and Muyun Tuohai opened the door and walked in. He smiled at Xu Ming and said, "Brother Xu, have you been comfortable these days?" Xu Ming stood up and returned the salute: "Thanks to Brother Muyun's care, these days are very comfortable." ”
Xu Ming introduced Muyun Tuohai into the room, and the two sat down. Muyun Tuohai took two sips of tea and said, "Today's visit, I want to ask Brother Xu if he knows anything about the forbidden land in the Silong Mountain Range. Xu Ming looked confused when he heard this, he had read all kinds of history books and geography books in the past few days, and he had never seen any forbidden places in the Silong Mountain Range, so he had to answer honestly: "I don't know." ”
So Xu Ming was surprised and speechless and listened to Muyun Tuohai talk about "The Legend of Qingxu".
"There are still many versions of this "Qingxu Biography", Xu Ming listened to the familiar and unfamiliar story of Qingxu Dao growing tall and strong, and felt a little like pins and needles.
When I heard that the story was almost over, I realized that the so-called "Silong Mountain Range Forbidden Land" is the mountain range that Xu Guixi moved to fill the Surabaya River, but this mountain range has many names, such as in the version of "Qingxu Biography" that Xu Ming read, that mountain range is called Guixi Mountain Range.
But no matter what the name is, that mountain range has always been a forbidden place, and legend has it that the enchantment laid before the ascension of the Void Immortal enveloped the entire mountain range, and those with pure hearts will not enter it and will get out of it, and those who are unscrupulous will be lost in it, and the wicked who commit adultery will be eaten by the demon beasts protected by the enchantment. And the mausoleum of Xu Guixi, the strongest immortal in the legend, is in that mountain range, and the mausoleum has Xu Guixi's own mantle inheritance and the secret techniques and magic weapons left by the Qingxu Immortal.
"Is there still a lie detector in the mountain I just came out of?" Xu Ming secretly wondered, "Does he know my origin and want me to help him lead the way to find Xu Guixi's mausoleum?"
"Brother Mu Yun, you need help. Xu Ming pondered for a long time and asked, "If there is anything I can help with, I will definitely do my best to help." ”
Mu Yun Tuohai seemed to have been thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't know how to speak, and seeing that Xu Ming had already made it clear, he no longer covered it up: "That's the case, a few days ago, the aura in the forbidden land of Silong Mountain rose sharply, and the golden light of immortal power and merit appeared in the sky above the mountain range, it is likely that the inheritance of Xu Guixi's predecessors or the Qingxu Immortal Chang Linfan, and now there are many monks from various sects in Surabaya City, who want to enter Silong Mountain to find immortal monuments, and I want to come to Brother Xu because of this." ”
Xu Ming was a little helpless when he heard it, the Qingxu Immortal Elder was indeed descended, but he didn't look like he could give you a magic weapon inheritance or something, as for Xu Guixi's inheritance, Xu Ming was not very clear, but judging from "Borrowing the Corpse to Return the Soul", it was not so reliable. But Xu Ming couldn't say this, and he provoked some unnecessary cause and effect, so he had to give up his hand and tell a small lie: "I didn't know that there was such a thing, I originally wanted to stay here for a while, and then go to Dongshengzhou to find relatives." Xu Ming is used to being naughty and mischievous, and he doesn't blink his eyes when he talks nonsense, and looks at Mu Yun Tuohai's eyes sincerely. Mu Yun Tuohai had no choice, so he saluted and exited Xu Ming's room.
"It seems that this place should not be stayed for long. Xu Ming watched Mu Yun Tuohai's figure gradually disappear behind the door, "If there is a fight soon, the immortals will fight and mortals will suffer, and I still have Tang Jinling with me, the danger factor is too high." If I slipped away, I wouldn't have been able to participate in this wave. Xu Ming packed up his things in the room, planning to leave Surabaya City early tomorrow morning. Of course, Muyun Tuohai didn't know about this, and he was making arrangements in the room on the roof.
"In the end, I still carried everything alone. Muyun Tuohai wanted to light a cigarette at this time and leaned lazily on the sofa, but this time he came to Surabaya Town in a hurry and forgot to bring it, and he couldn't look down on all the cigarettes in this town, so he could only hold back his addiction to smoke and take out a piece of candy from the bag and chew it.
The shopkeeper knocked on the door and came in, brought the pastries to him, and saluted and said, "Young owner, Xu Ming just came to check out, and I will leave Surabaya tomorrow morning." ”
"Well, got it. Mu Yun Tuohai was lying on the sofa, without raising his eyes.
"Just let him go?" the shopkeeper was a little puzzled. Mu Yun Tuohai didn't care: "There's no need to care about him, it seems that he really doesn't know about the opening of the forbidden land this time, even if he is lying to me, what can he do alone." It's still a small role in the end. After hearing this, the shopkeeper nodded and retreated.
The inn is terribly quiet for some reason, even if there is a soundproof barrier, you can still hear the noisy sound on weekdays, but today it is surprisingly quiet, as if something big is going to happen.
Xu Ming had already packed up his things and lay on the bed reading a book. "I guess we're all preparing to go to that forbidden place. Xu Ming thought about it, but he didn't care very much, he was more concerned about the money for the house and food in the past few days.
Although the Tuohai brothers exempted themselves from the order, they didn't help in the end, and they were embarrassed to eat and live for a few days, but their money is so much, and they are new to this world, and they are not familiar with the place, and there are still many places to use money.
Money is not everything, but no money is everything, this is the universal axiom of the whole universe. After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Ming decided to leave some silver taels on the table in the room when he left tomorrow, and looked at the exchange rate in the past few days, and he could probably calculate how much money he needed to exchange for food and accommodation in the past few days. The last time he took out that superb spirit stone, it scared the shopkeeper, if he didn't have any ability, Xu Ming really didn't dare to take it to the spirit stone shop to change, but he didn't know that the husband was not guilty of it. Thinking about everything properly, Xu Ming put down the book in his hand and looked out the window.
It was nearly evening, the sky was dyed a magnificent blue-purple, the distant sky was scattered with a red glow, and the moon had come out, hanging alone in the sky, waiting for its stars. "It's a good day tonight!" Xu Ming smacked his lips and closed the window. He leaned out of the edge of the bed, bent down and took the bell lying on the mat into his arms, causing her to "meow" unhappily. "There could be danger tonight. Xu Ming looked at the blue eyes that he never got tired of looking at, "Besides, I've already taken a shower in the afternoon, really." ”
I don't know if it was because he didn't move at night or if Xu Ming slept too deeply, until the next day, when Xu Ming was about to leave, he didn't hear any sound. When he greeted the shopkeeper and walked out of the door of an inn, he even had a feeling of being in a different world, if it weren't for Tang Jinling's "meow" on his shoulder twice, he would have almost been hit by a speeding carriage.
Surabaya Castle is quiet in the early morning, and the warm spring sun shines on the town, and the light and shadow dance on the town's stone pavement. The vendors went out one after another, hung up signs, set up their stalls, and except for the occasional greeting, only the town's own voice remained: the birdsong, the wind blowing through the leaves, the clogs stepping on the stone slabs, and the early risers opening the windows. Xu Ming drank a bowl of tofu brain at a small stall selling breakfast and left Surabaya City.
