Hongchen sighs, the moth flutters on the lamp, only a little warmth, burning the heart; blood flows, the red is powerless, the fingers are cold, and the tears are shed. The years have passed, the lovesickness is chaotic, the words are desolate, the sweetness is gone, where is the person who holds the hand?

As long as it is a mortal world, all living beings in the world need to concentrate on cultivation and do not slack off, and one day they can feel the aura of heaven and earth, understand the reincarnation of fate, cultivate the right fruit, and become immortals.

About forty years ago, in the rivers and lakes, thirteen top immortal cultivators gathered in Tanggula Mountain, and under the influence of the treacherous tricks of "Yin and Yang", they launched a duel to the death between each other. The final outcome ended in thirteen defeats, and there was no winner in this competition. Seven of them were killed on the spot.

Among the remaining six people, the "Yin Wind Scattered People" were alive and fled with the remaining three souls; the "Jade Girl" and "Ling Maosuo" were seriously injured and recovered after many years; the "Burning Sun Rakshasa fell into the deep valley and disappeared, his life and death were uncertain and disappeared; the "Nirvana Tianzun" was alive but lame on one leg; and the True Yuan of the "Big Dipper Star Monarch" was exhausted and dying, and since then it has disappeared like the world has evaporated.

More than ten years after the decisive battle of Tanggula Mountain, the world of immortal cultivation has ushered in a new round of entanglements and turmoil.

......

Under the blue sky and white clouds, on the cliff, a cultivator of fairy wind Dao bones, holding a dust, was leaning over the side of the cliff, looking for the rare medicinal material "Rootless Spirit Grass".

"Rootless Spirit Grass" is the best herb in the cultivation realm, ordinary people can directly activate the meridians of the whole body when they eat it, open up the soul power acupoints, and become a member of the cultivation realm. If a cultivator eats it, he can quickly increase his mana for a hundred years, enhance the strength of his muscles and bones, and no longer need to meditate and breathe.

The soles of the feet (soles) of this master of cultivation seem to be smeared with glue (paste), much like two suction cups, which stick to the side of the cliff and swim without difficulty, and will not fall or fall due to their own weight. No matter how steep the cliff is, for him, it is like walking on the ground.

It is said that the face of this Xiuzhen master is only twenty or thirty years old, but in fact he has lived for more than a hundred years, it seems that he has cultivated a way to prolong his life, and his way is profound.

"Strange, there are many herbs in this Changbai Mountain, ginseng, shou wu, and ganoderma lucidum, but why is there only a lack ......of the 'rootless spirit grass'? I can't find ...... Isn't it to kill people?" said the cultivator muttered to himself sullenly.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of blades striking in the mountain stream in front of him, and his curiosity began to haunt him, and he thought: How can anyone come here to fight in this hellish place where birds don't lay eggs and pheasants don't?

A "gecko swimming wall" like an oblique sprint, and then a somersault triple flip, several flying sprints, finally reached the mountain stream in front of them.

Under the cover of the steep rocks, Master Xiuzhen hid behind the rocks and quietly stared, and in the distance, a human bald mage armed with a mace was facing off against a monster with a human body in the back of a human body.

The eagle-headed monster clung iron claws in both hands, and was wrestling with the bald mage. It's a pity that Iron Claw is always struggling to carry (resist) the mace, and the eagle-headed monster is completely on the defensive, tired of parrying, and its disadvantages are fully revealed.

The bald mage's mace shone brightly, and the heavy black iron rod shone with a blue glow, and the light just flickered and then gradually disappeared, and just as it was about to disappear, it lit up again, flickering and dimming. The blue light is not a pose, but every flicker, it can give rise to a powerful force.

Master Xiuzhen looked around along the battle situation, and not far behind the eagle-headed monster, there was a human woman with a face covered in mud, squatting under a rock, holding a four or five-year-old male child in her hands. The woman stroked the back of the child's head with her palm, stared at the eagle-headed monster in front of her with her eyes, and silently muttered, "Don't be afraid, child; Your father is an eagle spirit (bird demon) who has practiced for thousands of years, and his mana is profound, so he will be fine. ”

Although she was comforting the child and herself, in fact, the hope in her heart had been shattered by the scene in front of her, and her sixth sense was faintly telling her: It's over, it's over, it's all over, it's over, it's all over, it's all over the husband, it's all over our family, and today may be the end of our family of three.

Looking at her compassionate expression, it seems that she has given up her plan to continue living. It's not that she doesn't want to live, it's that she can't live at all.

I saw that the eagle-headed monster radiated countless slender filamentous rays of light around its body, like a fountain shape, from the bottom to the top, all over the body, as if a kind of spiritual power was surrounding the body, with this filamentous light, he would not be immediately defeated and collapsed.

The two sides fought fiercely for dozens of rounds, and although the eagle-headed monster had tried its best, it still fell to the ground with a stick, and the iron claw broke off, and was defeated.

"Hmph! Eagle spirit, you monster! Do you still want to resist to the end? Today is your death! The demon has a different path, and as a 'demon hunter', it is my duty to cultivate the truth and enlightenment. If I do not get rid of you today, I will be in vain. Do you know that it is a felony to violate the rules of heaven if a shemale falls in love and gives birth to a seed of evil, even if I don't kill you, if a god in heaven knows, it will definitely beat you to pieces. After the bald mage was victorious, he spoke proudly about what he thought was the correct Heavenly Dao philosophy.

"That's right, I'm a youkai, I'm an eagle spirit who has practiced for thousands of years. However, I asked myself if I had ever done anything unreasonable in my life. For the past 1,000 years, I was flying, vegetarian, and silently cultivating. It was only a few years ago that I finally transformed into a half-human form. And by chance (coincidence), maybe it is a fateful marriage, I met my lady in Yalu Village under the mountain, and fell in love with her, many pursuits, after several twists and turns, gradually, my lady also fell in love with me, we are in love with each other, respect each other like guests, raise eyebrows, come together with their own sincerity, give birth to my son, is this also wrong?" The eagle-headed monster can actually speak normally, in the past thousand years, it has not only cultivated a human form, but also cultivated a human nature.

"Die!" The bald mage was not in the mood to listen to his beep, chirp, and Rory's rambling there, regardless of his three-seven-twenty-one, directly three strikes and five divided by two, and a few maces were knocked down, and the eagle-headed monster was beaten to the point that his brain was bursting and his flesh and blood were blurred.

"Xianggong ——!" A miserable wail sounded from under the rocks.

Then, the bald mage was red-eyed, and he was well versed in the principle of "cutting grass must be rooted", and strode towards the pair of orphans and widows under the rocks, and roared angrily: "Don't shout! I will be merciful and send you to the underworld to be reunited with you. Immediately afterwards, he fixed his eyes on the child in the woman's arms, and said with a hideous face: "This is the evil seed born of you and the eagle spirit? It is already completely humanoid, how can the freak born of man and demon grow into a human form? This is the bane, and it must not be left behind." ”

After that, the bald mage, known as the (self-proclaimed) "demon hunter", picked up the flickering mace, without blinking his eyelids, and smashed it towards this pair of bitter people, like a thunderous sound, "boom", unexpectedly, the mace actually smashed on a slender white hair whisk. The collision of the spiritual power of the two magic weapons was truly deafening.

It turned out that the master of cultivation, who was hiding behind the rock, rushed up and used the dust staff to block the mace's critical attack for the mother and son.

"Stop! You're too despicable, aren't you? Forget about eliminating demons, now you don't even let people go, what kind of immortal are you cultivating?Is there such a vicious person who cultivates immortals?" Master Xiuzhen looked at the bald mage and scolded coldly.

"What kind of thing are you? Huangkou Xiaoer, dare to block my plan to eliminate demons? If you know each other, get out of my way quickly, don't think that after learning the spell of cultivating immortals for a few years, you can show off in front of me. I have passed the age of six, and I have cultivated to the realm of earth immortals, and I am the nemesis of the demons in the world. If you don't get out of the way and dare to protect the family of this pair of monsters, then I can treat you as a demon and eradicate them all. The bald mage reprimanded self-righteously.

"Hee-hee! The old man in the sixtieth armor is still so angry and capricious, and he takes pleasure in abusing people, which is really rare. When Lao Tzu was crazy, you weren't born yet! Today, I will let you open your eyes, increase your knowledge, and let you understand what 'Da Luo Jin Immortal' is!" Master Xiuzhen said angrily.

"Ahh

Without waiting for the bald mage to react, Master Xiuzhen used extremely fast techniques to insert the dust into the bald mage's open mouth, and then stabbed it down quickly, and at the same time shouted: "Out!", his dust wedge staff was like a spirit, and under his call and inspiration, it forcibly drilled out from behind the bald mage's waist. Suddenly, the bald mage convulsed and bled profusely......

Soon, the bald mage lay on the ground and struggled (bounced) for a few times, then died in a pool of blood.

Then, Master Xiuzhen turned his head, looked at the mother and son who were sitting on the ground, and said as if amused, "Uh...... Actually, I lied to him just now, I am also at the level of an 'Earth Immortal', where will there be a 'Da Luo Jin Immortal' walking around in the mortal world these years. I scared him, and I felt a little cooler, hehe, I didn't expect that he really believed it, and he was scared to death by me. That one...... To the eagle-headed monster, oh no, I deeply regret the death of your husband. I was just passing through here, I shouldn't have made a move, not to mention, shemales are indeed different. Oh no, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said this. That bald guy is really too deceitful, as a 'demon hunter', he doesn't even let people go, I can't stand it!"

The woman squatting on the ground didn't seem to have the heart to listen to what Master Xiuzhen said, but looked intently at his dead eagle spirit Xianggong on the ground in front of her, and groaned in a low voice: "Xianggong, I'm here to accompany you, you wait for me!"

Before the words could be spoken, the woman suddenly got up, put the child aside, ran backwards, rushed violently, hit her head on the rock wall of the mountain, and died on the spot.

This scene came too quickly, and Master Xiuzhen was caught off guard at all, and he didn't expect this to happen at all.

"Isn't it? Why are you in such a hurry to die? Don't even care about your own children......! "Master Xiuzhen witnessed the tragedy with his own eyes, but he couldn't stop it, his head was full of indignation, and he was almost crazy.

And the boy of four or five years, when he saw his parents leaving him one after another, began to cry on the spot, crying so heartbreaking that it pierced the bone marrow.

Maybe the boy couldn't speak (he was dumb), or maybe he was too young to cry to express his feelings, but he didn't say a word anyway. From the moment his mother hit the rock wall, he had been crying and crying. It wasn't until Master Xiuzhen took him away from here and brought him back to the Taoist temple where he lived and practiced all the year round, comforting and teasing him in every possible way, that he gradually stopped.

Since Pangu opened the sky and Nuwa made up the sky, Patriarch Hongjun founded the Tao Law to benefit the world, which is the "Tao Ancestor". Hongjun Patriarch was born in fire and water for Pudu, and set up the creation of the tribulation, and those who have an epiphany who are diligent in cultivating the Tao can successfully overcome the tribulation, and they can become immortals in the flesh and ascend to the feathers.

However, it is not easy to cross the tribulation, and it is necessary to go through three pains, three sorrows, and three regrets in order to achieve the immortal attainments of "Da Luo Jin Xian".

Inside the Taoist temple, Master Xiuzhen is comforting the child who picked it up (brought it).

"Little boy, little man, little man...... Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. My mother is gone, my father is gone, but I still have to live this day, do you think grandpa I am right? Seriously, you can't really tell with the naked eye that you are a combination of a human and a demon!By the way, do you have a name? What is your name?" Master Xiuzhen patiently chatted with the child.

The child shook his head, indicating that he had no name.

"Isn't it? Don't you know what your name is? Little doll, it's so pitiful! Then let grandpa name you! You are so young, you have experienced such a big change, if you want to live well in the chaotic mortal world, the first thing you have to learn is the word 'forbearance'. Endure the evils of the world, endure the evil of all things, endure the seven emotions and six desires, and endure the hatred and resentment. From now on, you must live in obscurity, and only then can you live safely for the rest of your life. If you are exposed, more, worse, and more poisonous 'demon hunters' will become your enemies, and in order to strengthen their own Taoism, they hope to become immortals and ascend as soon as possible, and they will try their best to kill you, because killing you is equivalent to accumulating yin virtue. You must be vigilant at all times, you must live forever incognito, hide your traces, and hide your identity, and you must not let outsiders find out the details of you, remember? Then, you have my surname, my surname is Jie, my name is Jie Zitui, you can simply call Jie Yin!"

Since then, Jie Yin called Jie Zitui his grandfather, but in fact, he worshiped under the Taoist ancestor, and followed him to practice and study enlightenment.

Thus began the days of calm and idleness. This is the best time in Jieyin's life to laugh the most. With such a bohemian grandfather all year round, he plays and coaxes, plays funny, is happy, happy, happy, it is so simple.

It wasn't until one day, two years later, that fate took another turn.

On a dark and windy night in one month, Jie Zitui took seven-year-old Jieyin to the Yongcheng Market hundreds of miles east of the Hexi Corridor to prepare to stay in the hotel (inn). It's just because of the recent rumors in the rivers and lakes that someone learned the whereabouts of the "Longevity Formula", and the insider had fled to Yongcheng to hide, so all kinds of cultivators rushed to hear the news and wanted to find this insider and find out more secrets of the "Longevity Formula" from his mouth.

There are not a few immortal cultivators who know this news, as long as they have an appeal for immortality, they all rush to Yongcheng, even Jie Zitui, who lives in seclusion in Taoist temples all year round. In addition to Jie Zitui, the cultivators with high reputation in the rivers and lakes who visited Yongcheng this time include the big disciple Yellow Boots of the Tianyi faction, the young master Yin Taibai and the young lady Yin Yueyue of Jingxia Villa, the strange woman Li Lu of Quexian Island, and the high-class disciple of the Beast Control Valley......
