Volume 1 Xanadu Chapter 1 Revelation
Thousands of people in the world watch,
A few people saw the fairy mountain.
There are no immortals on the fairy mountain,
Heavenly immortals who dwell in the mountains.
Becoming an immortal is nothing more than a ridiculous pursuit of immortality by a group of poor people who are unwilling to face death.
Everyone in the world wants to live forever, but there are a few people who are not for selfish desires, and a few people who can live forever.
————————————————————————
I don't know when the concept of immortality has been built on this mountain, which is useless except for height.
Although the appearance is like an ordinary Taoist temple, but there is no statue of a god in the Taoist temple, one by one, the Taoist temple, the enshrined are neither the Taishang Sanqing, Zhenwu Emperor these widely spread Daluo immortals, nor those so-called Daoist real people, the place where the statue should be placed is only a huge stubborn stone or a soil block with a height of nearly one zhang.
However, the people who go up the mountain at the bottom of the mountain did not 'pass the gate and did not enter', but flocked to this small view of the mountains.
With more than ten times the amount of silver at the foot of the mountain, he bought three incense sticks from the hands of these Taoist priests who wore Taoist robes but could do business better than merchants, and bowed respectfully to these stubborn stones and clods of soil, and then carefully inserted the incense into a wooden stake full of holes.
Those who have good deeds have counted carefully, no more, no less, exactly eighty small holes.
This makes these rich people who have already earned a lot of money at the foot of the mountain even more eager for this, for fear that they will not even have the opportunity to make incense if they go late.
And often after the incense, do not forget to put a lot of merit money into the most exquisite box in the entire Taoist temple, and then continue to climb to the top of the mountain, see the Taoist temple and enter, each Taoist temple, as concocted.
Originally, this mountain did not have a real name, and some people in the nearby small villages called it Tiger Mountain, and some called it Bone Mountain, which was called a thousand strange things.
On the contrary, those hunters who make a living from hunting call it the God of Wealth Mountain, because most of the hunters who come out of this mountain can bring a few pretty good furs, and basically they can sell them for a good price, which is not the God of Wealth Mountain, but this is the person who came out, as for the person who did not come out, a few people would care.
Finally one day, a hunter who had been in the mountains for more than ten days came back, and for more than ten days, everyone thought that he had entered the stomach of the jackal, tiger and leopard, and even if he was not eaten, he would have starved to death, but it was such a guy who knew that he thought he was dead, and he came back inexplicably, not only did not die, but his body was a lot stronger.
The tombstone erected by his wife was torn by him, and he, who was usually afraid of his wife, not only made the visiting hunters feel strange, but even his wife couldn't recognize him.
After that, the first immortal temple was established on the mountain, and the mountain was officially renamed Changsheng Mountain.
And the amazing thing is that the tigers, poisonous snakes, wolves and leopards on the mountain have all disappeared.
And a piece of news, also began to spread gradually, there are immortals on the mountain of longevity, immortals ride white tigers, walking through the mountains, where they pass, flowers bloom, birds chirp together, and accompanied by bursts of fairy sounds, listen to fairy sounds, you can understand immortality.
At first, naturally few people would believe it, but when people found out that all kinds of fierce beasts and poisonous snakes that could be seen everywhere really disappeared, when there were really people who saw the figure of the immortal in the distance, when more and more people listened to the fairy sound, and became radiant, the news began to spread at a very fast speed.
And the Taoist temple on the mountain began to be built because of this, and the stones that were enshrined are said to be the stones where the immortals sat when they preached the Dharma, and those clods of soil were also the places where the white tiger rested.
There are no more than nine Taoist temples on the mountain, and those wooden stakes used for incense, a tree that is said to have been caressed by the palm of the cactus, are divided into nine sections, and the eighty-one holes are the extraordinary features of the tree.
According to those Taoist priests, immortals are unattainable, and unless there is a fate, it is naturally more difficult to see immortals.
Therefore, through the unanimous statement of the Taoist priests, people worship every stone where the immortals have sat and the land where the white tiger has fallen, hoping that the immortals can hear their prayers.
Starting from the foot of the mountain, all the way to the top of the mountain, nine Taoist temples, one by one, sometimes, even need to sleep in the mountains in the evening, and in addition to some rabbits, deer and other animals in this mountain, there are no other carnivorous beasts, which makes people begin to yearn for the immortals of Changsheng Mountain more.
In the middle of the night, except for the hunters who stayed in the mountains and did not go out, the forest should have been dark, but now the lights were bright, except for the villagers at the foot of the mountain, there were some merchants surrounded by a circle of servants.
"Hey, Liu Er, do you say that this immortal really has such a god?"
"Who knows, it's just that this incense is really fucking expensive. ”
"It's not, but that's not for us, we can only look at fate!"
A few villagers, who were a little shabby in their clothes but still clean from top to bottom, munched on a few yellowed steamed buns by the light of the fire, smelled the smell of meat coming from there, and whispered on the side.
For these ordinary people, it is also rare to be able to smell the smell of meat, these ordinary people, most of them come from the village at the foot of the mountain, the village can only rely on selling some medicinal herbs for a living, as for food, not to mention that there is no suitable place around, even if you occasionally find a suitable land, you can't stand the occasional beast that runs out of the mountain for a while, as for watching from the side of the field, it is equivalent to giving the beast dinner. On the contrary, there are no wild beasts to make trouble, and some medicinal materials can occasionally be found at the foot of the mountain, as for going into the mountain to collect medicine, only the hunters in the village will bring some when they come back from the mountain.
There are less than 100 households living in the whole village, whether it is going into the mountains to collect medicine, hunting, or even those who grow medicinal herbs around, most of them will enter the village after dark, and the two-meter-high earthen wall around the village is the only protective measure in the village.
As for bringing the dead game back to the village from the mountain, it is basically looking for death, bringing the carcass of animals, not to mention that it will slow down the speed, the smell of blood along the way, and if you can't wait to return to the foot of the mountain, you are afraid that you will be turned into a corpse by wild beasts.
Therefore, the whole small village will find a way to make some meat to satisfy their hunger on rainy days every month, and they can only eat ordinary vegetarian food.
But now, there are a lot of businessmen in the village, and as more and more people go up the mountain, some businessmen have begun to bring groups of people to expand this small village, even if there is no way to live forever, it is a good choice to take the opportunity to make a fortune.
In the middle of the night, fog began to rise in the mountains.
Under the moonlight, the white mist in the forest becomes clearly visible, like a fairyland on earth.
And at the top of the mountain, the first Taoist temple to be built, the Taoist temple that is said to be made of bricks and tiles that have been touched by immortals, and the Taoist temple where the hunter who first met the immortal as the master of the temple, the stone that was enshrined began to shine.
Something seems to be about to break through..................
