After sending away last night's ghost, Li Xiuyuan took Wu Fei, Han Meng, Tie Shan and other guards into Wangchuan Mountain. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Deep in the mountains and old forests, spirits are infested, and wild beasts are rampant.

This doesn't have any excellent skills, and casually entering the mountain is looking for death.

The ancient mountains and forests are not as good as the modern ones, and any mountain is like a primeval forest, which is easy to enter and difficult to get out.

"Young Master, ordinary people say that nonsense is not feasible, those ghosts last night couldn't have lied to us, right, are there really immortals in this deep mountain and old forest?"

Li Xiuyuan said: "Naturally, there will be no immortals in the deep mountains and old forests, but there will be spirits who have attained the Tao, or reclusive Taoists, okay, don't talk so much nonsense, it's coming soon." ”

They entered the forest and walked all the way, and after a few hours passed, they came to the foot of a mountain peak.

Looking up, I saw that the surrounding clouds and mist of the mountain peaks were shrouded in mist, and I couldn't see clearly, these clouds and mist condensed and gathered around the peaks, and if people went in, I was afraid that they would get lost immediately.

"This is it. Li Xiuyuan's eyes froze, and he felt that this place was unusual.

"Young Master, there is a lot of miasma in the mountains, and there is a lot of fog here, I'm afraid that the miasma in the mountains is condensed, and it will be dangerous to venture in. Wu Fei said.

"Whether it's a miasma or not, I don't know until I try it. Li Xiuyuan untied his jade belt and did not block his breath.

Immediately, the surrounding fog seemed to be blown away by an invisible breeze, and everything in front of him was revealed.

"It doesn't seem to be a miasma, someone has blocked the entire mountain with Dao methods. ”

After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he strode forward, and there was some anticipation in his heart.

There is only one possibility for this situation to occur, that is, there is indeed something here that lives in seclusion here, perhaps the flying old man that Dr. Qian said lives on this mountain.

Everyone felt strange when they saw this, and they didn't understand why the dense fog that had been good before suddenly dispersed.

But seeing Li Xiuyuan walking forward fearlessly, they naturally followed.

Every time Li Xiuyuan walked through a place, the dense fog in a place would automatically disperse.

After a few moments, the group came to a staircase.

The steps are tactfully above, leading to the cloud-covered mountain above the clouds, like a ladder, which makes people can't help but want to climb up to see if there is a heavenly palace immortal on it.

"I'm here to ask for medicine, I need a sincerity, you stay here, I'll go up the mountain alone. Seeing this, Li Xiu became more and more sure that there were high-ranking people living in seclusion here.

"Young Master, this mountain is steep, let's bring a few guards with you. Iron Mountain said.

"No, I have an opinion, it's enough to give me a waist knife to defend myself. Li Xiuyuan said.

His own weapons were too heavy to carry.

Tie Shan untied his waist knife and handed it over.

After Li Xiuyuan took the waist knife, his steps were light, and he quickly climbed all the way up the steps.

The people obeyed the command and did not follow, but waited at the foot of the mountain.

There are countless steps, but Li Xiuyuan is also a person who practices martial arts, and there is no lack of reason, and after a while, he has already reached the halfway point of the mountain.

At this time, he saw a thatched hut halfway up the mountain, and in front of the thatched hut there was an old man in his fifties and sixties, who was chopping wood with an old axe, and a copper stove was placed next to it, and a roaring fire was burning in it.

When the old woodcutter had finished chopping firewood, he threw it into the copper furnace and burned it, and then continued to chop wood.

"Old man, what are you doing?" asked Li Xiuyuan.

"I'm refining the elixir, and after eating it, I can live forever and soar, young man, how did you come up to this immortal mountain, this is not a place where mortals can come up. The old woodcutter said.

"Aren't you mortal too? ”

Li Xiuyuan glanced at this old woodcutter, and thought he was a fairy figure, but he was also a mortal.

He couldn't see anything strange about the old woodcutter.

The old woodcutter said: "I am indeed a mortal, I used to enter the mountain to get the fairy fate when I was as old as you, as long as I practice this furnace of elixir, I can become an immortal, and from then on stay away from the troubles of the world, and live an unrestrained fairy life." ”

"How long have you been refining this pill?" Li Xiuyuan asked again.

"Well, calculate carefully, it's not too much, it's just half a jiazi, and you can practice half a jiazi. The old woodcutter said.

"But have you thought about it, maybe you have died of old age before you have practiced the elixir, and when the time comes, you will not be able to enjoy the elixir for decades. Li Xiuyuan said.

The old woodcutter suddenly said angrily, "Fart, this is the immortal instructed me to practice, in order to test my sincerity to become an immortal, you don't have to mess around here, this is not a place for you to stay as a layman, leave quickly, otherwise the immortal will be angry, and you will be unlucky." ”

"There are immortals here? That's right, I'm here to ask for medicine, can the old man tell me where this immortal is?" Li Xiuyuan was not angry, and arched his hand.

"You don't have the attitude of asking for medicine from immortals, if you go up the mountain, you will anger the immortals, and I won't tell you where the immortals are. The old woodcutter said.

Li Xiuyuan suddenly said, "It turns out that the immortals are on the mountain, thank you." ”

After speaking, he did not hesitate, and immediately bowed his hand and continued to walk up the mountain.

The old woodcutter was suddenly angry and angry, but he had no choice but to snort heavily: "If you are not sincere, you will definitely not be able to ask for the elixir." ”

After speaking, he continued to chop wood and refine medicine.

Li Xiuyuan ignored it and continued to climb the mountain.

After a few moments, he finally reached the top of the mountain.

The top of this mountain is not big, it is extremely simple, only a bamboo house, a pavilion, and an old pine.

The surrounding clouds and mist are rising, the glow is flickering, there seems to be a heavenly palace immortal que in the clouds and mist, it looks extraordinary everywhere, everywhere is strange, it is really a place for immortals to live in seclusion, there is no worldly atmosphere.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes swept away, and finally landed under an old pine on the edge of the cliff.

Under the vigorous old pine sat a short old man with white hair and beard, wearing a cloth coat, who was looking down at a chess game in front of him, as if he was thoughtful.

"Immortals?"

Li Xiuyuan asked.

"Hehe, there are no immortals in the world, it's just a rumor, the real immortals live above the nine heavens, in the heavenly palace, and the old decay is just a casual cultivation between the mountains and wilderness. The white-haired old man laughed when he heard the voice.

"That's a youkai. ”

"Is there a difference between a god and a monster?" the white-haired old man said: "You are a mortal who can actually climb to the top of the mountain, it seems that there is something extraordinary, I don't know why you came to disturb the old decay to play chess?"

Li Xiuyuan walked over: "In Xia Guobei County, Li Xiuyuan, my father was injured by Taoism, and now he is seriously ill, I don't know if the old man can be cured?"

"It's just a small injury, and a pill that the old man can refine casually can save it. ”

The white-haired old man glanced at Li Xiuyuan, and his eyes were not ordinary black, but golden.

"I also asked the old man to give me medicine. Li Xiuyuan arched his hand.

The white-haired old man looked at the chessboard in front of him and dropped a son: "The old man and you don't know each other, why do you want to give medicine to you for no reason, you must know that the elixir is difficult to practice, if every mortal comes to the old man here to ask for medicine, then what kind of pill does the old man practice, what kind of Tao does he cultivate." ”

If the old man is willing to give a medicine, he is willing to agree to any conditions for the old man. Li Xiuyuan said.

"You mortal is interesting, others ask for medicine on their knees and plead, but you exchange medicine for conditions. The white-haired old man put down a chess piece in his hand and smiled.

"If I kneel down and beg the old man to give me medicine at once? If I will, I will kneel down and beg for medicine. Li Xiuyuan said seriously.

The white-haired old man smiled: "You are a smart person, yes, even if you kneel down to ask for medicine, the old man will not easily give you the medicine, when you went up the mountain, you saw that the old woodcutter did not, he also asked me for medicine, kneeling for three days and three nights, the old man gave him a chance, let him practice a furnace of elixir, that furnace of elixir needs to practice a Jiazi, now he has been practicing for thirty years." ”

"I can't wait 30 years, I can only wait for three days. Li Xiuyuan said, "So I also ask the old man to help, as long as my father can recover, I will come back to repay the old man when the time comes." ”

"No, no, no, if you take the medicine and leave, you won't come back, where will you repay it. The white-haired old man shook his head and laughed.

"I can swear to God. Li Xiuyuan said.

The white-haired old man said: "In this world, people are in turmoil, and there are many people who swear, they will not be punished accordingly during their lifetime, only after death, and then the old man will not be able to go to your ghost to settle accounts." ”

The old man said how to give medicine. Li Xiuyuan said.

The white-haired old man smiled, "Earlier, you said that if you get medicine, you are willing to agree to any conditions, right?"

"Yes, that's right. Li Xiuyuan nodded.

"Well, the condition of the old decay is that this elixir is expensive to refine, and if you want to exchange it with me, you need to take out 10,000 taels of silver and send it to this mountain, within seven days. The white-haired old man said.

"Why seven days, one day. ”

Li Xiuyuan immediately gave up his hand, but immediately turned around and went down the mountain.
