Green mountains and green waters, beautiful peaks. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the majestic mountains, there is a large area of lush green bamboo.

The mountain breeze is coming, and the green bamboo is swaying.

Patches of bamboo, happily swaying their bodies, high and low, undulating.

From a distance, it looks like a rough sea, covering one wave after another, and the mountains and fields are full of green oceans.

Ten miles away from the bamboo forest, there is a lake.

The water color of this lake is crystal clear, and the water surface is smooth like a mirror, so it is called Mirror Lake.

Mirror Lake is a large lake with a radius of hundreds of miles, and as far as the eye can see, you can only see the vast smoke and waves, as far as the eye can see, as if it is a huge green gem, inlaid in the vast earth.

One side of water, one side of the people.

On the edge of Jinghu Lake, a small town was built by the water and named Jinghu Town.

Jinghu Town is not big, but there are about 200 households.

Therefore, whenever there is any news in the town, it will always be known to everyone.

Half a year ago, a topic gradually became a topic of conversation after tea and dinner - an inn was opened in the town.

Originally, this was nothing new.

The problem lies with the owner of this inn called "Four Seas Inn", a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

It is not surprising that a young man opened an inn.

Everyone speculated about the identity of the young man, some said that he was the young master of a merchant family, some said that he was the son of a gentleman who was driven out of the wealthy family in the city, and some even guessed that it might be the illegitimate son of a certain big man.

For a while, there were different opinions.

Located in the north of the town, the "Four Seas Inn" is a three-story loft.

Looking northeast from the third floor of the inn, you can see the water and water, the blue waves are vast, and the lake scenery is unobstructed.

Unfortunately, the third floor of the inn is not open to the public, because this is the private space of the owner of the "Four Seas Inn".

As rumored by the outside world, the owner of the "Four Seas Inn" is very young, a little too young.

This is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, who likes to wear a moon-white gown, with an indifferent expression and elegant dust.

He likes to sit on the third floor of the inn near the window, because from here he can see the endless lake.

The teenager has a secret that no one knows.

He does not belong to this world.

His name was Ning Xiaotang, and he was just seventeen years old when he came to this new world.

That happened 20 years ago.

So it's strange, how can a teenager still look so young after 20 years?

And this belongs to the second secret of the teenager.

In fact, Ning Xiaotang was not too sure about this matter.

But for twenty years, his unchanged appearance has told him exactly that he may indeed have the legendary immortal body.

In the history of mankind in this otherworld, there has never been a shortage of pioneers in the pursuit of immortality.

However, no matter how glorious and ancient those pioneers were, the ultimate fate could not escape turning into an inconspicuous piece of yellow clay.

The difficulty of immortality is difficult to reach the sky!

Therefore, Ning Xiaotang was lucky.

Because he may already have the legendary immortality.

It's just that misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking.

Ning Xiaotang was unfortunate again.

Because, since then, he has also lost his freedom.

And all of this starts with a senior master.

That senior is a master, he is not a human.

He is a ginseng essence who has lived for tens of thousands of years, and his Taoism is unfathomable, almost immortal.

As his cultivation grew, a thousand years ago, that senior encountered the greatest calamity in his life, and his immortal calamity befell him.

The power of the immortal tribulation destroys the world and is beyond imagination.

Even with the powerful cultivation of ginseng essence, he couldn't resist it, and finally died.

However, ginseng essence also left its own lineage.

After a thousand years, it was finally obtained by the lucky Ning Xiaotang.

Among them, in addition to a bunch of exercise cheats, there are two things that are the most precious.

One is the essence of nearly 10,000 years of cultivation left over from ginseng essence.

After Ning Xiaotang obtained it, although his strength did not increase, it directly gave him an immortal body.

The other is a black and white, round stone that resembles a taiji diagram, which ginseng essence calls the enlightenment stone.

This strange stone not only helped the ginseng essence to open up the spiritual wisdom, but also guided the ginseng essence into the door of cultivation.

It can be said that without the Enlightenment Stone, there would be no later ginseng essence.

When Ning Xiaotang obtained this enlightenment stone, this strange stone changed again, and it directly merged into Ning Xiaotang's sea of knowledge.

From then on, Ning Xiaotang was surprised to find that he actually possessed a powerful ability to calculate and analyze.

This ability is most effective for the practice cheats.

Once Ning Xiaotang opened this ability, he could slowly deduce the defects of the original exercise cheats, so that he could continue to improve them.

This is undoubtedly a kind of anti-heaven ability to turn decay into magic, because in this way, even ordinary exercises, once they reach Ning Xiaotang's hands, they can also be turned into divine skills in the end.

However, there is something to be gained and something to lose.

Ning Xiaotang obtained the Dao system of ginseng essence, but since then he has also lost his freedom.

And the culprit of all this is the immortal tribulation.

That's right, thousands of years later, that immortal tribulation is still alive.

It turned out that back then, before the ginseng essence crossed the catastrophe, he calculated that his catastrophe was extremely dangerous, and he would die for life.

Therefore, in order to save his life, he deliberately laid out a formation with a radius of thirty miles - the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Qiankun Great Array".

The ginseng essence hopes to use this large array to fight against the immortal tribulation at a critical moment in order to save his life.

It's just that in the end, the ginseng essence still underestimated the power of the immortal tribulation.

During the tribulation, although the ginseng essence was not wiped out on the spot with the help of the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Qiankun Great Array". But he still suffered an irreversible blow and was dying, so that he finally died, and did not escape the fate of the fall.

At the same time, the immortal tribulation did not disperse after the death of the ginseng essence.

It turned out to be against the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Qiankun Great Array", and it seemed to erase everything related to ginseng essence from the world.

However, the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Qiankun Great Array" can be selected by ginseng, which is naturally extraordinary, and it is doing its best to fight against the immortal tribulation at the moment.

At this time, the power of the Immortal Tribulation is much weaker than before, and perhaps it is more appropriate to call it Yu Wei.

After the immortal tribulation faced the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Qiankun Great Array", he couldn't help the other party for a while.

As a result, the two couldn't help but stalemate with each other, maintaining a delicate balance, and neither let anyone.

And this confrontation is a thousand years.

When Ning Xiaotang obtained the ginseng essence Dao system, especially after obtaining the essence of ginseng essence for nearly 10,000 years and achieving immortality, the immortal tribulation also recorded Ning Xiaotang together.

As long as Ning Xiaotang dared to step out of the scope of the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Qiankun Great Array", the Immortal Tribulation would completely bombard Ning Xiaotang into ashes with the momentum of a thunderbolt.

Of course, Ning Xiaotang didn't dare to confront the Immortal Tribulation, even the Immortal Tribulation Yu Wei didn't dare.

Moreover, at the edge of the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Qiankun Great Array", he had personally felt the power of the Immortal Tribulation, which was really terrifying as destroying the world.

At that time, he only had to dare to take a few more steps forward and get out of the range of the big array.

He had no doubt that in the next moment, the Immortal Tribulation would turn himself into ashes in an instant with the momentum of a thunderbolt.

Therefore, Ning Xiaotang had no choice but to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and honestly stayed within the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Qiankun Great Array", not daring to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

Fortunately, the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Qiankun Great Array" has a radius of thirty miles, and within the scope of the large array, there are green mountains, bamboo forests, lakes, and a city, Shanyin County.

Otherwise, Ning Xiaotang would have to suffocate to death.

Time flies, time flies.

Twenty years have passed since Ning Xiaotang received the inheritance of ginseng essence.

Twenty years is enough time for a person to change a lot.

Ning Xiaotang, that's the case.

Twenty years later, Ning Xiaotang's martial arts are already quite profound, and he has been involved in formation, organs, pharmacy, acupuncture, alchemy, hexagrams, etc., and it can be said that he is versatile.

Especially for the formation, Ning Xiaotang has already achieved a small success.

However, because of this, Ning Xiaotang was shocked to find that the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Qiankun Great Array" laid out by the ginseng essence had already been declining day by day after fighting against the Immortal Tribulation for thousands of years, and it seemed that it would be completely destroyed in another hundred years at most.

Fortunately, what relieved Ning Xiaotang was that the Immortal Tribulation Aftermath was also becoming weaker and weaker, and it was estimated that it would be the first to disappear before the Great Array was completely destroyed.

A year ago, however, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.

One of the bases of the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Qiankun Great Array" was partially damaged.

And this directly led to the final service life of the Great Array, which was only less than ten years left.

This made Ning Xiaotang shocked, if the big array was destroyed before the immortal tribulation dispersed, then his own life would be in danger.

As a last resort, Ning Xiaotang had no choice but to take action in person and try to repair the damaged formation base.

Fortunately, there was not much damage to the formation base, and Ning Xiaotang also had a certain degree of attainment.

In the end, it took Ning Xiaotang more than half a year to finally reluctantly repair the damaged formation base.

And the location where the foundation of the damaged formation was under the ground of the "Four Seas Inn".

"Four Seas Inn" is an inn, and at the same time, it is also a formation. A formation laid out by a Ning Xiaotang can actively absorb the negative energy of the outside world.

The principle of this formation is similar to the way of yin and yang transformation, which can actively transform the negative energy of the outside world into positive energy.

As a gathering place for people, the inn is full of negative energy such as greed, treachery, and hatred.

Through this formation, these negative energies are continuously converted into positive energies, thus providing energy support for the damaged formation base.

In this way, as long as there is still negative energy in this world, the damaged formation base will no longer have to worry about it.

After repairing the damaged formation foundation, Ning Xiaotang's tense heart relaxed.

As for the operation of the inn, Ning Xiaotang was all handed over to an old shopkeeper to take care of.

The old shopkeeper's surname is Xu, a native of Jinghu Town, who once worked as a shopkeeper in the largest restaurant in Yuezhou City.

Later, because he offended people he couldn't afford to provoke, he could only return to the town silently.

In addition to the old shopkeeper, Ning Xiaotang also invited a chef and two shopkeepers.

The chef is a middle-aged man in his forties, whose full name is Zhu Dagui.

The first half of his life, as his name suggests, was blessed and noble.

He was born into a family of chefs, and his father was one of the most famous chefs in the palace. He didn't worry about food and clothing since he was a child, and when he grew up, he also followed his father into the palace and became a cook.

Originally, if everything went well, he would take over his father's team in the future and become a great chef.

It's a pity that fate makes people.

Zhu Dagui was inadvertently involved in a palace secret case, and finally caused his father to be imprisoned, and he could only flee in a hurry and wander the world.

For more than 20 years, he has been hiding until he came to Mirror Lake Town.

However, Zhu Dagui is not the worst, the most miserable are the two shopkeepers.

It was a pair of teenage twins, short in stature and skinny.

The two have been fatherless and motherless since they were children, they are orphans, and they have no names, and the people in the town only call them Ah Da Ah Er.

For more than ten years, Ah Da and Ah Er have relied on the intermittent help of the people in the town to not starve to death.

For the two of them, Ning Xiaotang also had a heart of seclusion, so he recruited the two of them to the inn to help.

After a few months of recuperation, Ah Da Ah Er's originally thin body finally looks a little human.

For Ning Xiaotang's acceptance, Ah Da Ah Er was full of gratitude.

Because in their opinion, this period is simply the best time in their lives.

The days in the town are always uneventful.

However, this blandness was finally broken after a while.
