Chapter 1: Immortals
There are martial arts in Qiankun, and the name of hanging immortals is here, and the warm sun rises in the east.
The small town under the early sun seems to have just woken up, and the simple people have started another day's livelihood.
Nudge the rings of history, and our story begins.
"When the heavens and the earth first opened, when the universe was chaotic, the chaos was strange, giving birth to many unbelievable creatures.
They move mountains and reclaim the sea at every turn, spit thunder in their mouths, turn their hands into clouds, and turn their hands into rain.
They describe it as weird, long-lived, and extraordinary.
They created words, opened up civilizations, and roamed the heavens and the earth.
Countless years later, the heavens and the earth are clear, the chaos is gone, and the acquired souls are born between the heavens and the earth, but they cannot be as eternal as the chaotic creatures.
Seek eternal life!
Between the mountains and the sea, the chaotic creatures passed down the Dao system, but they did not pass on the art of immortality.
At this time, the sky was dark and the sky was thundering.
A golden word "immortal", shining brightly, accompanied by bursts of fairy sounds, flew from the sky, turned into thousands of people, and fell into the hands of all living beings.
Since then, all living beings have respected chaotic beings as immortals, and all living beings can realize immortals, all living beings can cultivate immortals, and all living beings can become immortals. ”
Luoxian City, under the earthen city wall in the east of the city, among a group of seven or eight-year-old children, a ragged and dirty, smelly old man named Hanako is making a big noise, talking full of droplets.
He leaned back to the wall, his left hand behind him, his right hand on the only two curly hairs, his chin slightly raised, and he struggled to puff out his chest. If it weren't for the ribs in the tattered clothes, it would have the appearance of a fairy wind bone.
Squinting his eyes slightly, peeking in, he saw that these little ghosts were stunned one by one, and he was proud. But before she could speak, a little girl in red who was about six or seven years old wore two small pigtails, flashed her big eyes, tilted her head and said, "Then are you an immortal?"
"Of course, this immortal has heard that there are outstanding people here, and you all have the qualifications to ascend to immortals, so I am here to send you a great immortal fate!"
"Immortal fate should not be lightly given, but you have a fate with me, just give me a little apprenticeship, and I will accept you. ”
Hanako tries to maintain her "immortal" posture, but her gurgling stomach is more straightforward than what he meant......
"Grandpa is hungry, grandpa is not an immortal. The little girl in red licked the sugar gourd and said to herself.
Although the old name Huazi has cultivated a thick skin, it is the first time that a six or seven-year-old girl has broken it, and the old face is a little hot, but the face is black and yellow, and he is not afraid of being discovered.
"Little girl, this immortal has a deep immortal relationship with you, how about giving you a greeting gift first?" Stiff-headed and with a thick old face, the old beggar slowly stretched out his shriveled left hand.
A group of children, some with pigtails, some with little bald heads, all leaned their little heads forward to see what he had in his hands.
"Huh, it stinks!ahh
"Vomit~~" "Damn! he has shit in his hands!" "It's disgusting, stay away from me!" "Don't push me!
In a panic, a group of small radishes hit their heads together. But seeing that the beggar's eyes were shining, he took advantage of the chaos to dig his right hand in the crowd a few times, and squeezed out a few folds on his yellow and black face full of dirt, and he actually smiled happily.
"Who stole my chicken legs!?" "Ah! Where is my sugar gourd?" The round-faced little fat man in the crowd was screaming miserably, and the little girl in red was also cute, where is my sugar gourd??
Just as the little radish heads were in a mess, a calm voice came from the direction of the east gate of the city.
"Give it back to her. ”
Hanako squatted down, leaned against the wall, and bit on the little fat man's chicken leg in a big bite, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he turned a deaf ear to Fang Cai's voice.
"If you want to eat, I have it, don't take them. When the beggar heard that there was something to eat, he lifted his hair, which had been cemented into strips of dust, and quickly raised his head to look at the visitor, but his mouth did not stop at all.
This is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with a simple bun, a delicate face, and a bit of bookishness. A green shirt was washed white, and there was a flat patch on the hem of the shirt.
Strangely, the young man's hands and feet were tightly wrapped in strips of cloth, and only his two hands showed two thumbs and a crutch in each palm, and he limped over.
"Brother Xiao Nian!" "Brother Xiao Nian, you sit on the stool, my aunt said that I wouldn't let you run around." "Brother Xiao Nian, he robbed me of a sugar gourd!"
Seeing the boy coming, this group of children swarmed around, the corners of the boy's mouth were slightly raised, and this group of chirping children accompanied him all day long, which brought him a lot of warmth.
He clamped his crutches with both hands and tried to stand still, but his slightly trembling hands told others that it was not easy for him to stand normally.
"Silly girl! Brother Xiao Nian's hands and feet are inconvenient, you also asked him to ask for sugar gourds for you, hurry up and find your father, don't make trouble for Brother Xiao Nian." The little fat man hurriedly pulled the little girl in red, patted her head and said.
The round-faced little fat man is named Tian Yong, and he is the elder brother of the little girl in red, Tian Xin. Tian's father runs a tavern in this Luoxian City, and his life is quite rich.
The boy grabbed the crutches with his arm, and took out a white handkerchief from his bosom, which seemed to be wrapped in something, and the other hand clenched the crutches and did not dare to let go.
"Give me back the gourd, and the bread will be yours. The young man's eyes were calm, but he did not leave the beggar's side.
"Brother Xiao Nian, this is the medicine cake that Aunt Jiang made for you, my sister doesn't want the sugar gourd, you can't give him this cake!" Tian Yong was anxious on the side, and hurriedly went over to help Brother Xiao Nian. He heard his father say that it was full of tonic medicine that Uncle Jiang had worked hard to get from hunting, and it was used to replenish the body of Brother Xiaonian.
The young man smiled slightly, did not respond, and still looked at the old beggar.
The old beggar was not stunned, walked over and grabbed the handkerchief without saying a word, and stuffed half a string of sugar gourds into the young man's hand.
"Brother Xiao Nian, you can't give it to him! This is your medicine cake, it's for the body!" The little fat man was anxious, and thought: It's over, Dad must know that I ruined Brother Xiaonian's cake because of half a string of sugar gourds, so you have to smoke me.
"Yongzi, come back!" the young man called back Tian Yong, who was about to grab the cake, handed him the sugar gourd, clamped the crutch, and turned around and walked back.
"My body, no matter how much I make up for it, it's useless, after all, I'm a wasted person. The boy turned around and muttered softly, his eyes no longer calm, and a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, I don't know whether to mock this fate or mock himself.
The old beggar opened his handkerchief, and a palm-sized white cake lay in the palm of his hand. Where to look at it again, I took a big bite in a hurry, and I didn't know what I was talking about, so I finished the cake in three or two bites.
"It's so fragrant! This medicinal diet is really good, I didn't expect to be able to eat authentic medicinal food here! Haha, Luoxian City, Luoxian City, could it really be that the immortals?"
"This son, please stay, this medicinal diet...""You don't know what to call Huazi, you ate my chicken legs, and ate Brother Xiaonian's cakes, and you still have to inch in, it's gone, it's all eaten by you!" Before the old beggar finished speaking, he was scolded by Tian Yong, who was holding his breath on the side.
"What did you just say?" The young man turned his head to look at the beggar.
"Yes, it's still a small best in the medicinal diet, Linggan Diet. Although the technique is a little biased, it is made into a cake, but the taste is not bad. The old beggar ignored Tian Yong and looked at the young man with interest.
Before the young man could finish listening to the beggar's words, he hurriedly fiddled with his cane and turned around, looking at the old beggar who was still picking his teeth, and his eyes burst out with a light that he had never seen before!
Gently close your eyes and calm your emotions. After a while, the young man's gaze returned to calm, and he looked at the old beggar as if it had never changed.
Feeling the young man's gaze, the old beggar nodded imperceptibly.
"Immortals, is there really one?"
"Yes. ”
"Can an immortal be reborn with a severed limb?"
"Yes. ”
"I... I can be..."
"Immortals, it's not so beautiful, and there is no turning back when you set foot on the immortal road. The old beggar interrupted the boy suddenly, with a hint of pity in his eyes.
"You tell me, can I?" the boy could not restrain the fluctuation of his heart, and even his eyes became hot.
"Alas," the old man shook his head, "Immortals should not be lightly given, nor should they be taken lightly, young man, you have not thought clearly. ”
"Brother Xiao Nian, what are you talking about?" Tian Yong, the little fat man on the side, couldn't help but say when he saw that the two of them were talking about something without a beginning or an end.
The old beggar walked over, stretched out his left hand and patted the young man on the right shoulder, and turned to leave.
The young man looked at the back of the old beggar, his eyes crossed his left hand, and he seemed to see a golden brand, but when he looked closely, his eyelids suddenly became a little heavy, and he faintly heard a voice in his ears: "Jiang Nian, the road to the immortal is bumpy, and the immortal should not be ......taken lightly."
