After a night, Lin Chen dug up a piece of ice and snow, waited for it to turn into water, and immersed his head in the cold snow water, for a long time, Lin Chen suddenly raised his head, breathed heavily, and shook his body up and down.

It was still freezing and snowy outside the cave, and it was like a dream last night.

Lin Chen laughed at himself, when did he become so pedantic? It's just a woman, Penglai has been around for more than ten years, what strange people have not seen it? Shaking his head, he strode out of the cave.

Thousands of rocks are uncertain, and the flowers leaning on the stones have suddenly been twilight. The bear roared and the dragon sang Yin Yanquan, and the chestnut deep forest was terrifying

On the top of the clouds, thousands of years of snow, like an old man in white who has experienced vicissitudes for a long time, lies there peacefully.

Really climb to the top, when you look around, that spectacular scene, Lin Chen's blood is boiling, the whole mountain peak is like floating in the fog, overlooking the foot, the white clouds are misty, looking around the peaks, the clouds and mist are shrouded, one by one the top of the mountain pokes out of the clouds, like a hibiscus out of the water, at a glance of the mountains!

Lin Chen took out the wine jar from the mustard seeds, slapped open the seal, raised his head and drank it, at this moment, all the depression in his heart was left behind!

A pot of wine, a pole body, how many people are there in the world?

"Ahh

Suddenly, Lin Chen heard a movement behind him.

But I saw that the space in front of me was distorted, and an old man with gray hair and a childish face appeared in front of him out of thin air!

Carrying a cane carved from unknown wood, wearing an old robe, and a fairy wind bone, like an immortal!

Lin Chen was surprised, but also a little kind in his heart. From the old man in front of him, he seemed to see the shadow of the old man in the past.

The old man looked at Lin Chen and nodded. "Child, I've been watching you for a long time..."

"Huh?" Lin Chen was surprised.

"You're always ......"

"I am the mountain god of Shu Dao, Yu Yan!"

The people deified the mountains and worshipped them. Judging from the title of the mountain god, the worship of the mountain god is extremely complicated, and all kinds of ghosts and spirits are attached to the mountain. Eventually, the names of the various ghosts and spirits and the boundaries of difference disappeared, or you have me, and I have you and you merge with each other. It has evolved into the fact that the main peaks of each region are inhabited by personified mountain gods, and in the world of cultivating immortals, the mountain gods are also known as the spirits of the land.

"The Book of Absurdity: Gods and Demons" once said: "Mountains, forests, rivers, valleys and hills, can come out of the clouds, for wind and rain, see monsters, all say gods." ”

Although he had seen a detailed record from the ancient books, Lin Chen was the first time he saw the mountain gods, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved, the world is so big, absurd and strange things, there are no strange things, not to mention that cultivating immortals is originally absurd and strange for mortals. If it weren't for the old man taking him to Penglai, he would be just an ignorant child now.

"What do you mean by the unknown mountain god?" Lin Chen said with a junior salute.

"The old man is the god of Shu Dao Mountain, and it is also the final test for you and other mortals who want to go up to Shu Mountain to seek the Heavenly Dao!" Yu Yan laughed, flicking his long beard that dragged to the ground.

When Lin Chen heard this, he smiled and said, "What does the unknown mountain god test the kid?"

"From the time you went to Shu Road to now, for more than a month, the old man has been watching you, countless difficulties and obstacles, I have never seen you show timidity, and your determination is firm, which is rare!" Yu Yan said, his eyes suddenly flashed.

"The old man asked you, you, how do you want to cultivate immortals!"

As soon as these words fell, all of a sudden, the wind and thunder were fierce, rolling up the sky full of snowflakes!

Thou, how do you want to enter the Tao! Like a twilight drum and morning bell, it hit Lin Chen's heart and tortured Daoxin!

Suddenly!

Lin Chen's eyes were in a trance, time and space were staggered, and pictures appeared, and the memories in his heart were like a flood of missing embankments, swarming in!

......

The northwest is barren and remote, and there is a small village called Qishan Village.

One day, an old woman appeared in the village with a baby child.

After a few years, the child grew up, but no one in the village had ever seen him cry, his eyes were blank, and he always had a demented smile on his lips

This is obviously extremely strange, and the ignorant villagers gradually panic and turn away from them, and some even think that the child is the reincarnation of a monster.

“...... I'm miserable...... Child, grandma can't do it...... I can't watch you grow up", her face was unusually pale, without a trace of blood, and the old woman with a trembling hand gently stroked the child's head.

"Kid...... You didn't have a father or mother since you were a child...... Now grandma is gone...... You're going to have to live well... Laughing and living......"

hand, falling weakly.

Looking at the old woman who was as peaceful as she was asleep, the child's deep purple eyes were as dark as jade, and for the first time in her life, she was smeared with sad colors.

"Kill him, kill him! He's a monster, a monster who can't cry or speak!" stumbled and prostrate, the child with his head in his hands, silently enduring the beating of the children of the village.

In the face of the panic and scolding of the adults in the village when they saw him as if they were a monster, the child still had that demented smile that seemed to be a chuckle, but his hands were clenched into his fists, and his nails were pierced into the flesh heart.

Suffer in silence.

......

The screen turns.

"Huh!" was surprised, like a thunderbolt, and an old man with sloppy clothes but fairy wind and bones sat on a golden gourd and fell from the sky.

When did the people in the village see such a god, they immediately shouted "gods", and one by one they prostrated on the ground, and the children who beat the children also stopped their hands and feet, stared wide-eyed, and looked at the old Taoist in a daze.

But the old man waved his hand and beckoned the child to him.

"They insult you, scold you, bully you, and laugh at you, why are you still laughing?" asked Lao Dao with a cold expression.

The child didn't answer, still laughing.

The people of a village were bold and resigned, and said: "Immortal lord, this child is the reincarnation of a monster, and no one knows where he came from!

"Hmph!" the sound was like thunder, exploding in everyone's hearts.

"Presumptuous! The old man didn't ask you!"

For the first time, abruptly, the child's immature voice sounded in everyone's ears, "Laughter, there are many kinds, I understand it myself, but, do they understand?"

Everyone didn't know why, they looked at each other, but Lao Dao was extremely surprised, only he understood the child's words and laughter.

It is true that there are many kinds of laughter in the world, some laugh happily, some laugh reluctantly, some laugh flatteringly, and some laugh bitterly.

It's just that how can a young child who is only three or four years old understand the cause and effect?

"You, would you like to come with me?"

The old man had the idea of meddling in things, not to mention, he felt that this child's eyes were deeply hidden with a mighty power, and even he couldn't see what it was.

"What can you give me?"

The child raised his head and asked, his voice was small, but it made the hearts of the people present feel terrified, his deep purple eyes revealed an incomparably innocent look, like a clear glass, never dusty for the fireworks in the world.

"Hahaha!"

Lao Dao suddenly laughed, "The old man is an immortal cultivator, don't you want to learn my ability to fly around like this?"

The child shook his head, his purple eyes swept over the trembling villagers below, and his small fists clenched suddenly, "I want to be a bad person!

The first time I heard such an interesting remark, Lao Dao laughed, "Haha! Interesting! The old man is the biggest bad guy in the world! You can go with me!"

The child nodded.

"What's your name?", Lao Dao asked in the middle of the sky, looking at the child who didn't know the slightest fear.

The child shook his head, "I don't know, my grandmother used to call me 'a hard-working child'." ”

Lao Dao laughed, "I can't see through your life, why bother?", looking at the child's deep eyes as clear and flawless as the sun, moon and stars, "That's it, in the future, you will follow the old man's surname Lin, and I also happen to lack a medicine picking boy, so you will be called Lin Chen in the future!"

......

The screen turns again.

Four years have passed, the child looked at the black and white flames dancing in his hands in a daze, slowly condensing the Nine Turns Dragon and Tiger Jindan explained by Lao Dao, and he fell into confusion again, because Lao Dao asked him again:

"Do you still want to be a bad person now? Do you want to enter the Tao?"

The child shook his head slightly, his eyes misty.

Lao Dao sighed lightly: "Perhaps, if he has a chance to do it one day, you will have the answer if you refine this Dragon and Tiger Pill that condenses the old man's life's hard work." ”

......

Scenes of memories are racing in a flash.

The child has grown up.

"What about cultivating immortals and entering the Tao, what about cultivating immortality? Life is in the world, but seeking peace and joy, if you can't be with the person you like, even if you live for thousands of years, what's the point..."

......

"Do you remember the question that the old man once asked you?

......

The memory receded like a tide, Lin Chen's thoughts suddenly pulled back to reality, he smiled, pondered for a moment, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes showing unprecedented firmness.

"When I was a child, someone asked me if I wanted to cultivate immortals and enter the Tao, and I shook my head and said that I just wanted to be a bad person. Lin Chen suddenly smiled.

"A few years later, I came into contact with this issue again, and I was even more confused. ”

"When I grew up, I met a pair of gods who were in harmony with life and death, and the woman told me, what about cultivating immortals and entering the Tao, and cultivating immortality? Life is in the world, but I want peace and joy, if I can't be with the person I like, even if I live for thousands of years, what's the point? Her words made me feel very shocked, what is the purpose of cultivating immortals and entering the Tao?"

Lin Chen paused for a moment, as if he was stuck in the past again, and after a while, continued:

"Until a few months ago, when I left the person I respected the most, he asked me again as he left, and I still didn't have an answer. ”

Yu Yan quietly looked at the young man in front of him and listened to his words.

For thousands of years, I have read countless people, but I have never seen a person who is as confused and wandering as the young man in front of him. In the past, there were also people who came up to Shushan, and when they were asked this question, they all replied without thinking about cultivating the Immortal Dao, but seeking immortality!

"Kid... Now, do you understand", Yu Yan said slowly.

The sound was like thunder in the nine heavens, shocking, and at this moment, even the wind and snow suddenly stopped.

Lin Chen shook his head and didn't answer, he suddenly pointed to his own heart, smiled brightly, and strode up the ladder, the dazzling barrier, at this moment, it was like a void - the thin and tenacious figure of the young man passed by.

Not to become immortals, not to seek immortality.

What I pursue, no one can understand, no one can know, what I pursue, only I understand.

"Heh... Scold... Heh!", Yu Yan stroked his white beard, and his figure was hazy again, gradually disappearing into the wind and snow.
