Volume 1 The Rise of the Kunlun Mountains Chapter 1 Seeking Medicine
Kunlun Mountain is located in the extreme west of Shenzhou, the northeast is adjacent to the well of the great life, the southwest to the valley of Chengyuan, the terrain is unique in the world, its mountains are continuous for thousands of miles, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, it is the place of cultivating immortals.
For a long time, Kunlun Mountain has been rumored to be an ancient fairyland, the mountain is ten thousand feet high, breaking through the sky, perennial clouds and mist, and the fairy atmosphere is dense. There are rare birds and beasts in the mountain, treasure trees and strange waters, quite prestigious, known all over the world.
As a sect of cultivating immortals, the Kunlun lineage is even more admired by the world, and its long heritage and profound heritage make it powerful and incomparable, and it has an unshakable position in the entire Shenzhou Continent. The same is true of the eight Kunlun factions under it, each of which is famous far and wide, and the peach and plum are all over the world.
Because of this, there are so many people who come here every year that they are all worshipping Kunlun and asking for immortals. However, for its selection requirements, the degree of harshness is beyond imagination, many apprentices who come every year are like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, and there are very few who can finally pass the assessment, all of them are all kinds of Tianjiao geeks, amazing people, which is why Kunlun can be prosperous so far is one of the important reasons.
As the leader of all the sects in the world, Kunlun's strength is undoubted, and it can be described as a giant. Among the eight factions in Kunlun, Qionghua and Tian Yong are the strongest and have the most disciples, and they are located in the north and south of the main line of Kunlun. Like the other six factions, Qionghua and Tianyong were also built on independent mountain peaks, with eight auxiliary peaks surrounding the main Kunlun vein, guarding them. In fact, the large and small sects of Kunlun are gathered near the main vein and the eight auxiliary peaks, and most of the rest are barren mountains and wilderness, sparsely populated, inaccessible, and occasionally there are idle clouds and wild cranes who live in seclusion here, absorb aura, cultivate self-cultivation, and continue the incense.
It is about two hundred miles away from the main vein of Kunlun, there is a mountain peak named Qingyao Peak, this peak is not much different from other barren mountains, but the vegetation is relatively lush. On the top of Qingyao Peak, there is a dilapidated log cabin, in which lives a mother and son, the two depend on each other, only living on a fruit tree outside the house.
Different from other ordinary fruit trees, this fruit tree grows in Kunlun and has been nurtured by spiritual energy for a long time, so it naturally has spirituality. The whole body of this tree is golden, and the fruit is shining, flowing golden light, which not only has the effect of satisfying hunger, but also has the ability to quench thirst, and can also refresh the mind and strengthen the body after taking it. Thanks to it, the mother and son survived.
On this day, as usual, the boy plucked some fruit from the tree, went into the house, washed it, and laid it on the table. The furnishings are very simple, with an unobstructed view of the room, except for two wooden beds and a wooden table. The boy walked over to one of the wooden beds and sat down gently, with a sad face.
The young man's name is Li Yunchen, and the one lying on the bed is his mother Luo Yao, although he is nearly forty years old, and he looks a little haggard because of illness, but he still looks young and beautiful, and his peerless appearance is amazing.
"It's been three days, I have to find a way to treat it quickly......" Li Yunchen looked at his unconscious mother on the bed, worried.
Since he can remember, Li Yunchen has never seen his father, and has been living with his mother on Qingyao Peak for more than ten years. However, just a year ago, Li Yunchen's mother suddenly had a strange illness, she was weak and weak, coughing up blood all day long, and the situation became more and more serious, she was bedridden two months ago, and her life was all taken care of by Li Yunchen, until she began to be unconscious three days ago, and even her breathing and pulse were extremely weak.
Li Yunchen was so anxious, if he delayed like this any longer, his mother would definitely not survive for a few days. But there is nothing else on the mountain except the fruit tree, and the fruit that bears fruit can only be used for health care, not as medicine, and cannot alleviate the disease, so I want to ask for medicine only to go down the mountain.
In fact, since he was born, Li Yunchen has never gone down the mountain, and he knows almost nothing about the outside world, not that he doesn't want to, but his mother doesn't allow it. Li Yunchen once thought about going down the mountain to seek medicine, but he was resolutely opposed by his mother, and it was precisely because of this that his mother's condition gradually deteriorated, and today she is dying.
After sighing helplessly, Li Yunchen walked out of the house, gently closed the door, and walked to the edge of the cliff to look into the distance.
What came into Li Yunchen's field of vision was a towering mountain peak, linking heaven and earth, like a pillar of optimism, and eight auxiliary peaks were faintly visible between the clouds and mist. Li Yunchen knew that it was Kunlun, although he had not been there, but he had also heard a lot of relevant legends from his mother.
It was an ancient wonderland, a place that everyone could only dream of. There, elixirs, spiritual weapons, abound, the method of immortality, the art of resurrection, spread everywhere. Therefore, as long as you go to Kunlun for medicine, you will definitely be able to cure your mother's illness.
Having said that, Li Yunchen still had some concerns in his heart, his mother had told him not to go down the mountain without authorization, especially the Kunlun faction, and never to step into half a step, but his mother did not mention the reason. When he was a child, Li Yunchen ran out once, but he was caught by his mother halfway up the mountain, and he was punished for kneeling for three days.
But now Li Yunchen can't care so much, his mother is in danger, and he can't watch his mother die of illness.
"Among the eight factions of Kunlun, the closest to Qingyao Peak is Tianyong, less than two hundred miles, if you rush overnight, it should take less than two days to go back and forth. Li Yunchen gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. He went back to the house, fed his mother two fruits, covered the bedding, and laid everything in place, then he took the broken knife on the table and ran down the hill.
As the name suggests, this knife is in tatters, it can be described as scrap copper and rotten iron, the reason why Li Yunchen brought it was not for self-defense, this broken knife was not sharp, rusty, and even cutting down trees was a problem, let alone killing wild beasts, but this broken knife was left by his father, Li Yunchen attached great importance to it and always carried it with him.
Along with the broken knife, there was a bracelet, made of gold silk, with a red orb tied to it, which would glow with blood in the middle of the night, and be extremely dazzling. But like a broken knife, it's useless, it's the same as ordinary mortals, and it has nothing to do with the word baby.
The Kunlun Mountains are undulating, the mountain roads are rugged, the strange rocks are numerous, the fierce beasts are longitudinal, the hardships of the road are beyond Li Yunchen's expectations, fortunately, the luck is good, and the powerful fierce beasts have not been encountered, otherwise they will have to make a detour, which will inevitably delay a lot of time.
After rushing overnight, Li Yunchen finally came to the foot of Tianyong Peak in the early morning of the next day.
Before he went up the mountain, Li Yunchen could feel the compelling aura, inhaling it into his body to refresh his spleen, and even the fatigue caused by a day and a night of traveling was reduced by a few points.
As the saying goes, the mountain is not high and there is a fairy name, the water is not deep and there is a dragon then the spirit, this day Yongfeng is indeed more than other barren mountains a little more vigorous, the ancient trees on the mountain are towering to the sky, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the scenery is beautiful. Walking up the mountain road, it didn't take long for Li Yunchen to reach the peak.
"This should be the Tian Yong faction, but why isn't there a single one?" Li Yunchen looked left and right, and there was only a menhir engraved with the word 'Tian Yong' in front of him, and he couldn't see half a figure. "Isn't there even a gatekeeper disciple in such a big sect?" Li Yunchen scratched his head in confusion and continued to walk forward.
In the Tianyong Sect, there were palaces and pavilions all over the place, and there were countless pavilions and water pavilions, Li Yunchen was dumbfounded, these were all things he had never seen before. However, the strange thing is that there are no disciples of Tian Yong along the way, and the huge sect seems to be extremely deserted.
It wasn't until he approached the Changxian Pavilion that an old voice floated in.
"I see. Li Yunchen suddenly realized. He had heard his mother mention that this Changxian Pavilion is the place where the Tianyong faction talks about immortals, and at the beginning of every month, there will be masters who will open the altar here to preach, and the disciples in the sect will gather here to study with an open mind, and it is no wonder that there is not even a figure on this road.
"In the past 100 years, I have looked up to the way of heaven, the sun and the moon are lurking, I have insight into the principles of nature, and finally I have realized that all things are enlightened. However, the world has been in the world for a hundred years, but between the bullet commands, only the immortal road is eternal and immortal. In the Changxian Pavilion, an old man with a white beard sat on the stage, his voice was vigorous and powerful, as if he could penetrate the soul. There were 3,000 disciples in the audience, all holding their breath and listening carefully.
Li Yunchen took a light step and quietly walked into the Changxian Pavilion, he wanted to wait for the sermon to end before asking for medicine, but he didn't expect that as soon as he took a step, the old man on the stage noticed it, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his expression instantly became grim.
"This fellow Daoist sees that he is not a disciple of his own sect, so he doesn't know why he came to Tianyong?" The white-bearded old man looked Li Yunchen up and down, his cloudy eyes narrowed into a line. After hearing this, the people in the audience also looked back, and their eyes focused on Li Yunchen.
Being stared at by so many people, Li Yunchen felt uncomfortable, he had never met so many people, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, and even his speech became stammering, "Senior Li Yunchen, this time he broke into Changxian Pavilion without permission...... I hope the seniors will forgive me, the juniors didn't mean to bother, but I ...... My mother was sick and dying, so she had to come here to ask for medicine, and to look to her seniors...... Answer. ”
After listening to what Li Yunchen said, the old man's expression recovered, with a kind face and a lovely smile. And just as he was about to speak, a disciple sitting on his right suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Where did the yellow-haired boy come from, what did you take the Tianyong faction for, breaking into the Changxian Pavilion during the sermon, and looking for death?"
"Yuan Bin, Hugh is rude!" the old man scolded angrily and told him to shut up, and then greeted him with a smile on his face, and said to Li Yunchen: "The old man is called Huanyun, the deputy head of the Tianyong faction, and he is also the sword elder. Since ancient times, my Kunlun lineage has been thinking of helping the common people in the world, and taking the heart of benevolence as the heart, which is the foundation of cultivating immortals, so your mother's illness can rest assured, and my Tianyong faction will do its best to help. ”
Li Yunchen was overjoyed when he heard this, he thought that it would be very difficult to ask for medicine, and it was very likely that he would return empty-handed, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth, and immediately knelt down and thanked the old man on the stage a few times. And the disciple Yuan Bin on the side, although he was unconvinced, he didn't dare to speak out to stop him, so he had to swallow his anger.
After listening to Li Yunchen's description of the condition, Huan Yun nodded slightly, meditated for a while, and said, "Your mother's condition is really strange, if you can't diagnose it closely, you can't determine the cause." In this way, you take a lark back and give it to your mother, this pill is made from a hundred kinds of herbs, each of which is unique to Kunlun, extremely precious, and can cure all diseases. As long as your mother takes this pill, she will definitely be able to cure the disease. ”
As soon as Huan Yun's voice fell, the disciples in the audience all widened their eyes, looking extremely surprised, they knew how rare this Bailing Pill was, it could be described as a treasure of Kunlun, many Kunlun disciples were not blessed to enjoy it, but now it was given to a mortal of unknown origin, which was really shocking.
"Yuan Bin, you can take this little master to the alchemy room to get the medicine. Huan Yun waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.
"Yes, Master. Although Yuan Bin was reluctant, he still responded.
After thanking him again, Li Yunchen got up and followed Yuan Bin out of Changxian Pavilion.
Huan Yun on the stage looked at Li Yunchen who was leaving, stroked his beard, and smiled even more.
"This person has a heavy treasure on his body, looking for an opportunity to kill and take the treasure away!" At the moment when Yuan Bin stepped out of the Changxian Pavilion, Huan Yun suddenly heard from his heart.
