"Master, let me continue to practice with you, and don't drive me down the mountain. I, Li Jing, am determined to cultivate and become an immortal, and no matter how difficult this path is, I can stick to it. ”

A young man in a cyan robe knelt in a clearing, his resolute face revealing a maturity and stability that did not fit his age, and his mouth kept pleading.

This young man's name is Li Jing, who has admired Xianlu since he was a child, and when he was fourteen years old, he came to this West Kunlun alone to visit the Taoist Xiuzhen. A child who has just grown up does not know how much he has suffered, and Du Erzhen pity his heart for the Tao is very firm, and it is not easy, so he has been under the door for more than six years.

But the road to immortality is like this, just the talent dispels the determination of many people who want to become immortals. To become an immortal, relying only on acquired efforts and relying on faith will not work at all.

Unfortunately, Li Jing is one of those people who have no talent, and although he is unusually diligent, he always has little success. After six years of cultivation, he was not able to open up a purple mansion in his upper dantian, let alone become an immortal.

As early as three years ago, Master Du'er Zhenren began to persuade Li Jing to go down the mountain as soon as possible. said that he did not have the qualifications to become an immortal, so he didn't want to continue to spend time in this Jiuding Iron Brake Mountain, but Li Jing never gave up. The dead skin continued to stay in this mountain, and this time it was another three years.

In the past three years, this kind of scene in front of me has actually happened many times, but every time Li Jing used his perseverance to move Du Erzhenren and was able to continue to stay in Shangshan.

But this time, Du Er Zhenren seems to have made up his mind, no matter how Li Jing pleads, he is indifferent. Although he was very reluctant, Li Jing also recognized the facts in front of him, because this time he knelt for far longer than any previous time, perhaps, this time he was destined to go down the mountain.

I felt like I was about to reach my limit, and my legs were as heavy as lead. However, Li Jing still held on, wanting to move Du Erzhen again.

After a long time, the Eight Treasures Cloud Light Cave in front of him finally moved, and Master Du'er Zhenren appeared in front of Li Jing's eyes again.

Li Jing was very happy in his heart, was the master touched by my sincerity again? Li Jing wanted to struggle to stand up and ask the master what kind of decision he made, but he found that he had already exhausted the last trace of strength, and his body was unable to move.

Du'er Zhenren knew that Li Jing was unwell now, so he helped him up and sent some mana to Li Jing's body to help him recover his strength.

Looking at Li Jing with a look of hope on his face, Du Er Zhenren sighed, really unwilling to continue to hit him. But if you let him stay in the mountains, it will hurt him in the end.

"Apprentice, it's not that the master is ruthless and unwilling to continue to keep you on the mountain. But your talent is like this, so far you have not been able to open up the Purple Mansion, you are destined to have no chance with immortals, and if you continue to be so obsessed, your life will be ruined. ”

After hearing the master's words, Li Jing knew that his hopes were dashed, and stared blankly at the old Taoist priest in front of him who had been with him for six years, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Du Er Zhenren looked at Li Jing with such a lost and depressed appearance, and he was also a little unbearable, and persuaded: "Disciple, you should not be too pessimistic, and the road to immortality is not only about cultivating immortals. Listen to me and go down the mountain to be an official. ”

Suddenly, Du'er Zhenren seemed to remember something again, and his deep gaze looked into the distance, and there was something out of his mind. However, he soon recovered and continued to preach to Li Jing:

"Although it is good that you have not succeeded in cultivating immortals, you have learned some means, and you can also be reused, and it is not a problem to obtain a high position in the world. As long as you pay attention to treat the people well, let them willingly worship you, and when you die, the power of those incense will help your soul to remain in the world forever. Although in the eyes of our immortal cultivators, we often disdain this way of incense to become gods, but it is also a way to live forever. ”

It was the first time Li Jing heard that there was such a method, and his heart, which had been silent, rekindled hope at this moment. The reason why Li Jing wants to become an immortal is for immortality in the final analysis. Although his own master doesn't look down on this Shinto, it is an opportunity for himself.

Seeing Li Jing's slightly relaxed expression, Du Er Zhenren knew that his words had played a role, but he was also secretly relieved.

Du Erzhen stroked his beard, looking at the apprentice in front of him who had accompanied him for six years, and his heart was also full of emotion. He has witnessed with his own eyes how hard Li Jing is and how persevering, if such a character can practice and achieve extraordinary results, he has also taken a fancy to him.

But I didn't expect Li Jing to be so insulated from the Immortal Dao, I thought that no matter how bad the qualifications were, I could try my best to make up for it with my Taiyi Golden Immortal ability. But it is difficult to even step into the gate of becoming an immortal, let alone others.

But after all, immortals are also human beings, and they will also have feelings, and Du'er Zhenren will not watch his apprentice turn into a piece of loess after a hundred years and completely disappear in this world no matter what.

"You can go down the mountain with peace of mind and enjoy the wealth of the world, and after you are a hundred years old, I will help you become a god and rebuild your golden body. Du Er Zhenren patted Li Jing's shoulder, and his eyes seemed to contain infinite love.

"I have already said hello to Uncle Shiji, she will help you arrange it after you go down the mountain, what you need to do is to do your best to be a good official, so that the people under your command will love you and respect you. ”

After Li Jing heard this, he knelt down directly again, "bump", "bump", "bump" and kowtow a few times. I didn't expect my master to think so much about himself quietly, except for kowtowing a few times to express his gratitude, Li Jing really couldn't think of any other way.

"You go down the mountain, I won't keep you, I hope you and my master and apprentice will see each other again. The figure of Du Er Zhenren slowly disappeared in front of Li Jing's eyes, leaving only this one sentence.

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Li Jing stood up again. Then he knelt down again and solemnly kowtowed three times again. The master's kindness is beyond repayment, Li Jing secretly made up his mind that he must make some achievements and not disappoint the master.

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint Ning's expectations, go down the mountain to be a good official, and work hard to benefit the party. ”

After speaking, Li Jing took a look at this Tiesha Mountain, where he had lived for six years, strange rocks were piled up like a sitting tiger, and the pine trees hung obliquely like a flying dragon; the birds on the ridge were delicate and beautiful, and the plum blossoms in front of the cliff were fragrant.

I originally thought that I was going to practice here for hundreds of years, but I didn't expect to leave so soon, and I felt a little embarrassed and helpless in my heart.

However, what the master said is right, he will not achieve anything by staying in the mountain, wasting time, but instead of going down the mountain to find a way out for himself, the incense becomes a god can also be immortal, maybe this Shinto is not as good as the fairy road, but he has no choice.

Thinking about all this, Li Jing gritted his teeth, turned around and walked down the mountain without looking back, without the slightest hesitation.

It didn't take long for Li Jing's figure to completely disappear on the top of this mountain, and the old Taoist priest reappeared where Li Jing was kneeling, facing the direction of Li Jing's descent from the mountain, his facial expression was very complicated, as if he was worried, and as if he was guilty, he said to himself: "Now this Li Jing has also gone down the mountain, and he has been a god, and it has not been a few years since the arrival of this catastrophe!"

Of course, Li Jing couldn't have heard Du Erzhen's words, and of course he wouldn't know what the Great Tribulation of the Gods was, let alone know that he had actually been part of Du Erzhen's plan since he went down the mountain.

However, at this time, he was really happy, his path to immortality had renewed hope, and he was about to return to his hometown that he hadn't seen for a long time. Originally, the depressed mood because of the failure to cultivate, as well as the reluctance to give up, were diluted a lot under this great joy.

Because he was in a good mood, the sounds of birds and insects along the way sounded so beautiful to Li Jing, and the scenery along the Tiesha Mountain was also so beautiful, it can be said that Li Jing was so happy for the first time in many years.

He would never have thought of what it meant for him to go down the mountain this time, and what kind of tragic catastrophe he was involved in that swept the entire immortal world. And he is still in the center of the whirlpool of this catastrophe, and the slightest carelessness will be the end of his soul.
