Two figures in the sky looked at each other thousands of meters apart. One of the figures had his feet on colorful auspicious clouds, and his whole body was constantly emitting a soft golden light. He looked to be in his twenties, with a solemn look on his face, and a tall and tall figure, with a faint layer of light covering his whole body.
Fairy spirit.
Another figure is completely opposite. He is standing on dark clouds, wearing a black robe, with a scarlet cloak floating slightly behind him. He looks to be in his thirties or forties, with a ferocious look on his face.
The young man said calmly, "Since you let me see you today, we should end it."
The middle-aged man snorted and said, "Since you want to die, then this sect will help you."
Although they are thousands of meters apart, their voices cannot be hindered at all.
Golden light and black-red blood light lit up at the same time. Colorful auspicious clouds and dark clouds approached like lightning.
"boom--"
The golden light suddenly became so dazzling that thousands of rays of rays of light suddenly appeared.
"Ah! It's impossible for you. How could you have done that? Have you already experienced the nine-day calamity..." The middle-aged man's voice was full of panic.
"Yes, you guessed it right. I am the only immortal in heaven and earth. Go to hell." Thousands of rays of rays of light merged with the golden light and turned into a powerful force that suddenly passed away...
"don't want--"
…………
The sun hangs high in the sky, emitting its scorching light. It is so hot at noon in summer. The loess on the ground has lost its moisture. As long as the breeze touches it, it will bring up bursts of dust, making it even more difficult to breathe. "What the hell!"
The weather is really hot. If it continues like this, I'm afraid I'll have to return home." A childish voice said angrily. I saw two naked urchins sitting under a big tree beside the dirt road. They were leaning on the big tree and borrowing
The naughty boy who spoke was dozing drowsily in the shade of its tree. The naughty boy who was talking looked to be about eight or nine years old, with a slender figure, sallow skin, a high bridge of nose, small eyes, and short, messy hair like withered grass on his forehead and around the temples.
There was a trace of sweat on his face, and he looked impatient.
"Brother Long, please stop complaining. The weather is not something we can decide. The so-called calmness and natural coolness are not something we can decide. But I really hope that there will be a heavy rain now to take away some of the irritability." The one who spoke was the one next to the wild-haired urchin.
The younger boy and the naughty boy he called Brother Long were much more handsome than him. He had a clean cloth draped over his shoulders, he had fair skin, big eyes, double eyelids and long black hair that was neatly combed.
He is about seven or eight years old at the back of his head and is a little shorter than the previous naughty boy.
Brother Long glanced at the talking naughty boy and snorted, "Okay, Douyaer, don't talk to Zou Zou. It sounds awkward. Your family's conditions are not that good, but you kid insists on crying every day in this ghost place like ours."
What’s the use? Let’s see! You might as well go chop wood with me so that you can supplement the household income.” These two children are both Long brothers from a nearby village named Hai Long. His parents died when he was very young.
He was left with only a thatched hut that could not protect him from rain in summer and wind in winter. He had to survive with the help of some kind-hearted villagers in the village. Now he makes a living by collecting firewood every day. He uses the firewood he collects and exchanges some food with the villagers.
The naughty boy he called Bean Sprout and his villager named Zhang Hao grew up together and were the best playmates. The conditions of Zhang Hao's family were not much better than Hailong's. His parents barely made a living by relying on a thin piece of land next to the village. Like
These children from poor families mature very early, although they are still less than ten years old, but they always regard themselves as adults and even try their best to imitate adults in their tone of voice.
After listening to Hai Long's words, Zhang Hao, who had been polite before, suddenly showed his true colors and laughed, "Brother Long, I have been studying there for a few days, so what's the matter with me dragging you? Only in this way can I show my level! Fight!"
I don’t want to do anything. You know I’m the laziest and don’t want to do anything else except eating and sleeping.”
Brother Long hit Zhang Hao on the head and cursed with a smile, "I know you are like this, kid. What you are thinking of is clearly an excuse for not wanting to do farm work. I don't think you know a few more words than me. Put all our brothers together."
I’m afraid the words as big as watermelon can’t fit into a basket.”
Zhang Hao said angrily, "Knock me on the head again and I'll get angry with you. I have lofty ideals, although laziness is a very important purpose."
Hai Long chuckled and moved closer to Zhang Hao. Under Zhang Hao's vigilant gaze, he hit him on the head again. The force was obviously stronger than the previous one. Zhang Hao let out an ouch and rushed forward. The two of them were attacking each other.
They struggled with each other with vulgar words. Hai Long's strength was obviously stronger than Zhang Hao's. After a while, he pushed him to the ground and said with a smile, "I'll take it."
Although Zhang Hao was restrained, he refused to admit defeat. He snorted and said unwillingly, "The weather is too hot. I'm afraid that you will be too hot, so you can't even see it."
Long curled his lips and pushed Zhang Hao aside, wiped the sweat from his head, sat down under the big tree and said, "You guys always say it's too hot and don't want to make trouble with you. By the way, you said just now that you have lofty ideals."
What is it? Tell me, let me hear how far-reaching your ideal is--"
Zhang Hao said proudly, "Of course my ideal is far away" - Da- secretly approached Hai Long and whispered, "Boss, do you still remember the story about the gods that Grandpa Sun in the village told? I have accurate information."
"
Hai Long was shocked and sat up straight. The Grandpa Sun mentioned by Zhang Hao was the story king in the village. He would often tell some weird stories to amuse the children. Among them, there was one about gods that attracted them the most. Hai Long looked at Zhang Hao strangely and said, "You kid
Aren't you crazy? That can't be true! How can anyone fly?"
Zhang Hao said, "Why not? There must be. My ideal is to be able to fly like those immortals. Didn't the world allow us to roam at that time? About a year ago, two gorgeously dressed people came to our village.
They were all riding horses. They seemed to have come from far away and happened to come to our house to ask for water. You also know that my father was very hospitable and entertained the two outsiders attentively. I was sleeping at home that day when I heard something
When outsiders came, they came out to watch the fun. They happened to overhear the conversation between those two people. I didn’t believe in the existence of gods before, but after listening to their words, I realized that it was indeed true! They said they were right away from us.
There is a certain sect in Lianyun Mountain a hundred miles away, and there are some immortals living there. They came here this time to be apprentices. Many gods in that sect can fly. From the longing tone of those two people, it must be true.
."
Hearing what Zhang Hao said, Hai Long suddenly became energetic and his eyes widened and he said, "Really or not? There really are gods!"
Zhang Hao said proudly, "Of course it's true. The two outsiders also said that this sect recruits disciples every five years. There seems to be no special requirements. As long as they can read, there is no age limit. It would be great if they could become gods.
Okay! You can change what you want to eat or drink at will. That kind of life is most suitable for someone like me who loves to eat and is lazy. Xiao Chong, you now know why I go and write."
Hai Long was stunned by Zhang Hao's words. He didn't even notice that Zhang Hao called him the nickname he hated hearing the most. He never thought that Zhang Hao's ideals were so lofty.
Zhang Hao looked at Hai Long's stunned look and became even more proud and patted his shoulder and said, "Xiao Chong, this is my secret. If it weren't for the fact that you are my best brother, I wouldn't tell you. How about it?"
? From now on, learn how to read with me. In four years, when you are thirteen and I am twelve, we will go to that sect together to become apprentices. After a few years, we can return home in glory and return to the village.
I will turn it into a golden mountain for my parents so that they can also enjoy the blessings." Thinking of the proud moment, Zhang Hao couldn't help laughing.
Hai Long blinked his eyes and murmured, "If you go there to become a disciple, will they take care of the food? As long as you can feed me, I will go with you." How could he not yearn for the legendary gods?
Zhang Hao said, "Of course you can take care of the food, and you should eat well. Didn't Grandpa Sun say that all immortals eat immortal fruits and drink fine wine? Come and learn how to read together with me. When we both become immortals, we even want to be an emperor."
It’s not impossible!”
Hai Long scratched his head and said, "Isn't it four years from now? Let's talk about it again. I don't believe such a vague thing." He said this because he was angry when he saw Zhang Hao's proud look. In fact, he already believed it to a certain extent.
Zhang Hao said dejectedly, "It's useless for me to waste so much spitting. I know you don't have any big ambitions. Even if you go with me, I'm afraid they will just accept me and ignore you."
Hai Long suddenly changed his expression and said, "What the hell are you talking about? I'm not as good as you? Apart from my appearance, I'm not better than you in any way. What's so good about that pretty face of yours? Isn't it just to become a disciple? Well, I won't be sure when I go with you."
Who is rejected? Tomorrow morning after I collect firewood we will write together. I am the smartest person in the village."
Zhang Hao secretly chuckled in his heart. He had grown up with Hai Long. Of course he knew that Hai Long’s competitive temper was the most unbearable. He hugged Hai Long’s shoulders and shook the cloth with a lot of dirt in his hands. He laughed and said, "Hello, the smartest guy in the village."
Come to my house. Uncle Li brought some sweet potatoes yesterday and you can eat them today."
Hai Long was obviously more interested in sweet potatoes than gods. His little eyes suddenly shone brightly, "Wow, it's so good to have sweet potatoes. I've been eating so much bran these days that I can hardly poop. I can finally improve my life. Let's walk fast."
Let’s go to your house to eat sweet potatoes.” The two of them laughed and headed towards the village not far away.
Four years later. Lianyun Mountains.
The Lianyun Mountain Range is located in the western border, nearly 10,000 miles away from the Central Plains. The mountain range is composed of 72 rolling peaks, each of which towers into the clouds. Among them are strange peaks and rocks, and springs can be seen everywhere in the mountains. The unpredictable sea of clouds seems to have become a gap between them.
The name of the Lianyun Mountain Range comes from the place where the peaks are wrapped around the mountainside like bridges.
Lianyun Sect is located in the Lianyun Mountains and is one of the seven major cultivation sects in the world. However, due to its remote location, its influence is far less than the other six major sects in the Central Plains. However, its long history makes it the highest among all major cultivation sects. According to legend,
Thousands of years ago, Patriarch Lianyun sat on the top of Jietian Peak, the main peak of the Lianyun Mountains, and attained enlightenment, becoming an immortal and leaving behind a large number of cultivation books. Thousands of years later, several destined people accidentally came there and obtained Patriarch Lianyun's handwritten notes in order to thank Dai Lian.
Patriarch Yun and the others established the Lianyun Sect here. On weekdays, Lianyun Seventy-two Peaks are completely surrounded by the immortal formation left by Patriarch Lianyun. Outsiders cannot go deep into it.
Today is another day that occurs once every five years for the Lianyun Sect to accept disciples. Thousands of rays of light shine from the top of the Jietian Peak. The Seventy-Two Peaks shrouded in clouds and mist seem to have changed. The mist gradually disperses and winding paths appear on the outside of the mountains. As long as you pass through
These trails can directly reach the twelve peaks on the periphery of the Lianyun Mountains, where the apprenticeship test will be conducted.
Lianyun Sect's requirements for accepting disciples are much stricter than those of the other six major sects. Every time they accept disciples, many people apply, but only a few can pass the test. Originally, this place was far away from the Central Plains and sparsely populated, and the conditions were harsh.
There are fewer and fewer people applying. The heyday of tens of thousands of people who came to apply thousands of years ago is no longer the case. Five years ago, the number of applicants was less than 100. In the end, not a single one passed.
Diling Peak, one of the twelve peaks on the outskirts of the Lianyun Mountains, stands on the top of the mountain. Four middle-aged men in simple clothes stand on the top of the peak. They all have ordinary looks and are dressed in simple commoners, each carrying a long sword on their back.
"Sixth Brother, the Mountain Immortal Formation has been open for four days. How come there is not even a ghost in our Diling Peak? Is there not even a single person who signed up this time? I remember that five years ago, there were nearly a hundred people who signed up. If this continues, I'm afraid
Our Lianyun Sect will have no successors."
The middle-aged man who was called Sixth Senior Brother sighed softly and said, "Ninth Brother, you have to pay attention to your words. What ghosts are you talking about? If Master hears it, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat and walk around. Hey, you still said that we are here in the spirit world."
Feng has not had more than ten disciples in twenty years. There are simply too few people who can pass the test. As a result, even the Yun Sect now doesn’t even have a fifth-generation disciple."
Chapter 1 Mountain climbing to become a disciple (Part 2)
"Sixth Brother and Ninth Brother, please stop complaining. No wonder any of us made the rules set by our ancestors so strict. Those requirements are simply..." The four of them looked at each other and whispered at the same time, "Perverted."
There are nine second-generation disciples of the Lianyun Sect in charge of Jietian Peak, Zhiyun Peak, Piaomiao Peak, Dengxian Peak, Tianshi Peak, Inorganic Peak, Shudi Peak, Mieyan Peak and Zhishui Peak in the center of the Lianyun Mountains. Although the same
They practice the techniques passed down by Patriarch Lianyun, but their respective understandings are different, thus forming different cultivation levels. Under the second generation disciples, there are more than 40 disciples of the third generation. In addition to seeking advice from their master, they also live alone.
The number of disciples of the fourth generation on the first peak is much greater, more than 400. They all follow their masters and live on the corresponding peaks. On weekdays, no one comes to the twelve outer peaks. They just form a restriction.
It's just the peripheral hub of the Immortal Formation.
The four people on Diling Peak studied under the third disciple of Master Tianshi, the second generation master of Lianyun Sect. Daoming Zhenren was ranked sixth Lingtongzi, eighth ranked Lingzhizi, and ninth ranked Lingyanzi.
The eleventh Ling Yuzi. Their mission today is to come here to recruit disciples. Every five years, the Lianyun Sect's Seventy-Two Peaks Immortal Formation is opened. There are only five days left. Today is the last day. There is not even one person who comes to take the test.
None of the four of them could help but start a boring conversation.
Lingyanzi whispered, "It's really perverted. We were lucky to pass the test in the first place. The chance of passing was not even 1%."
Ling Tongzi smiled bitterly and said, "Master and Grandmaster have never forced us to accept disciples, but there are no fifth-generation disciples and those handymen still have us to do it. No matter what, as long as someone can come here today, we must accept him no matter what."
We can be free in the future."
The other three people all turned their attention to Lingtongzi and nodded at the same time. It was obvious that they were tired of those handymen.
Ling Yuzi said, "Sixth Brother, you have the highest level of cultivation here. Use your celestial vision to see if there are any people coming to be apprentices under Diling Peak. It's getting late now. If no one climbs the mountain again, I'm afraid it will be over again."
"
Ling Tongzi nodded and moved his magic weapon and shouted, "Thousands of clairvoyants listen to the command and open the sky." A blue light shot out from Ling Tongzi's magic weapon, dyeing his eyes completely blue. Ling Tongzi's head
His slightly swaying blue eyes revealed a deep gaze that was constantly flowing like two pools of cold water. A circle of faint green air swayed gently around his body, exuding a faint fragrance.
Ganoderma lucidum exclaimed, "Sixth Brother's cultivation has improved again! It seems that he has reached the late stage of Dao Solid, Tianxin Jue, and the scent of Dao Fetus has appeared, and is about to enter the embryonic stage. Alas, we are still stuck in the Tengyun realm.
Woolen cloth."
Ling Tongzi's face suddenly showed a hint of joy, as if he had discovered something, and the blue light in his eyes flashed away. "It's great, we have hope."
Lingyanzi quickly asked, "How is it? How many people from Sixth Senior Brother come to be apprentices?"
Ling Tongzi smiled and said, "I clearly saw that two people have entered Diling Mountain and now they are halfway up the mountain. Although there are only two people, it should be enough for doing handymen."
Ling Yuzi exhaled and said excitedly, "My suffering is finally over." Since he ranked last among his masters, he also did the most work as a handyman. When he heard that someone was coming to surrender, he naturally felt happy. "Sixth Senior Brother, why don't I
Let’s go pick them up. I really can’t wait.”
Ling Tongzi frowned slightly and said, "Junior brother, although we will be more accommodating this time, we must maintain our attitude as teachers. Don't forget that they will become our disciples in the future."
Ling Yuzi nodded helplessly, shot out a spiritual technique from the right and floated down on a big rock. He sat down with his eyes slightly closed and said, "Then I can use my celestial vision to see them."
Lingtongzi, Lingzhizi, and Lingyanzi all sat down cross-legged and also used their celestial vision skills to observe the two people who came to be their disciples.
"Brother Long, let's go back. I can't do it anymore. How long will it take to get to the top of the mountain?"
"You kid, you're so desperate to pull me here. You've been gone for so many days and you're backing off again. You've got no character at all. I can't even think about it now. We've all eaten our dry food. If we don't find those gods you mentioned, I'm afraid.
I'm going to starve to death here. This time I really got you killed."
"You can't blame me! Who knew that this mountain road is so difficult to walk on? We finally reached the foot of Lianyun Mountain, but we couldn't get in. We finally walked in a few days ago, but the mountain is so high. My poor dry food!
That's what we worked hard to save. If I had to choose again, I would definitely stay at home with you and chop wood every day. Climbing the mountain is simply exhausting."
The two people who climbed the mountain were Hai Long and Zhang Hao from the small village in the west border four years ago. In order to achieve his ideals, Zhang Hao took Hai Longtang to study every day for the past four years, and the two of them knew a lot of words.
Originally, Hai Long was too reluctant to come with Zhang Hao. Four years later, he had long been indifferent to Zhang Hao's immortality, but he couldn't bear it, so he begged and had to go together. They didn't have much appetite and didn't bring much dry food.
It's a pity that the young master came a month early and arrived at the outskirts of the Lianyun Mountains. But how could they pass through the ancient immortal formations in the Lianyun Mountains when they were so weak? After a full month of wandering outside, they became completely discouraged.
Suddenly they saw a golden light shining in the Lianyun Mountains. Driven by curiosity, they once again walked towards the interior of the mountains. This time the fairy formation had been opened. They followed a winding path at the foot of the mountain and gradually climbed up Diling Mountain.
.They had no idea that Lianyun was referring to a mountain range. Finally, they came in and thought that the tall peak in front of them was Lianyun Mountain.
Although Diling Mountain is just a small peak on the outskirts of the Lianyun Mountains, its altitude is more than 4,000 meters. Hailong and Zhang Hao, who are thirteen and twelve years old, are not in very good physical condition. It took them four days to climb.
More than half of the way, when I looked up, I could barely see the shadow of the peak. Zhang Hao was usually lazy and physically inferior to Hai Long, who chopped firewood every day. Although he was very persistent in worshiping the immortal as his teacher, he finally couldn't hold on when he got here.
He sat down and said nothing and refused to get up again.
Zhang Hao took out the last piece of dry food from his arms and threw it to Hai Long and said, "Little insect, please eat this. I'm not leaving. I guess I was fooled at the beginning. Those two people I met five years ago probably have mental problems. If it's true now,
It's the time when the gods are recruiting disciples, why is there no one? Hey, it's my fault. I've dragged you down too. Just leave me alone. Eat this piece of solid food and go down the mountain quickly. It should be easier to go down the mountain. If you're lucky, you might be able to
Back to the village."
Hai Long's whole body was shocked. He had already seen something from Zhang Hao's slumped expression and didn't mind. He called himself Xiao Chong and said firmly, "Dou Ya'er, I won't let you stay here alone. Although we are not the same mother.
But you will always be my best brother. Now we have no way out. Don't think it's easy to go down the mountain. Have you forgotten how difficult it was when we went up the mountain? Now there is only one way in front of us, that is to climb up. Even if
If we die, we will die on the top of the mountain." He broke the dry food in half and threw it to Zhang Hao and then said, "Eat soon, let's rest for a while before climbing up." After that, he took a hard bite of the dry food in his hand.
Zhang Hao looked at the half piece of dry food in his hand and murmured, "Xiao Chong, you have always taken care of me since I was a child. You have always been kind to me. You treat me like your own brother. When other children in the village bully me, you always stand up for me. Two years ago, for
Help me take revenge. You fought with the strongest Nobita in the village. He was three years older than you! Although you lost in the end, Nobita never dared to bully me again. You were seriously injured that time on your chest. Now
There is also a scar that you have been hiding from me, but I know it! But you are so good to me, but I hurt you, little insect..." At this point, Zhang Hao was already in tears and choked with tears. He couldn't continue.
When facing danger and desperate situation, he no longer looked like he used to laugh and play with Hai Long. There was only deep apology in his young heart.
Seeing Zhang Hao's true feelings revealed, Hai Long's eyes also became moist. He sat next to Zhang Hao and patted his shoulders and said, "What are the two brothers talking about? Come on, eat quickly. Let's go on the road after eating. Although the road ahead is confusing, you are not talking about gods."
Do you have great abilities? You are not harming me! If you really want to do something for me, then cheer up and eat this piece of dry food. Only by reaching the top can we have a chance of survival."
Looking deeply at Hai Long's yellow-black face, he gritted his teeth. For the first time in his life, Zhang Hao felt a strong obsession in his heart. He took a hard bite of dry food and said firmly, "Brother, we will definitely succeed. Let's take a short rest."
Just continue on our way. If God really wants to kill us brothers, we must stand and die on the top of Lianyun Peak. At least we brothers have tried hard."
The four blue lights on the top of Diling Peak disappeared at the same time. The four brothers, Lingtongzi, looked at each other with wet eyes. Lingyanzi said, "Sixth Brother, please pick them up. It seems that we don't need to test them, and there is no need for us to test them."
Why do you want to accommodate these two children? They have fully met the requirements set by the ancestor."
Ling Tongzi nodded and sighed, "Yes! Not only do they have persistent beliefs and perseverance, but the most valuable thing is their mutual friendship. People who can reach this level are most in line with our Lianyun Sect's mentality. Let's go pick them up."
Come up. The Aurora Sword is unsheathed." There was a soft clang sound when the sword finger of his right hand was swung in front of him. The long sword behind his back was unsheathed and suspended in the air. Ling Tongzi pinched the spell and floated up, landing steadily on his own.
The green light on the magic sword shone and flew first towards the Diling Peak. Lingzhizi, Lingyanzi and Lingyuzi also followed with their own flying swords. Four green lights quickly fell towards the waist of the peak.
After more than ten minutes of rest, Hai Long and Zhang Hao finally recovered some of their strength. Just as they were about to get up and continue climbing, they suddenly felt the mountain wind blowing and their bodies were shaking. They were both shocked at the same time. Looking down the mountain from here, they could only see clouds and mist.
If he fell down, it would be difficult to survive. In panic, Hai Long quickly pulled Zhang Hao to the rock behind him and squatted down. This sudden change made their young hearts stirred and fear suddenly rose.
In a flash of blue light, the four Ling Tongzi and the others appeared in front of Hai Long and the other two men with flying swords. Hai Long was startled at first and took a step forward to block Zhang Hao behind him. He cautiously looked at the four middle-aged men in front of him. Zhang Hao's mind
Bi Hai Long was a little smarter and asked tentatively, "Are you gods?"
The four Ling Tongzi retracted their flying swords and landed in front of them. Although they were dressed simply, their heroic appearance of flying out of thin air and standing with their swords back deeply shocked the hearts of Hai Long and Zhang Hao.
Ling Tongzi smiled slightly and said, "You two little brothers, don't be nervous. You must be climbing the mountain today to worship your art."
Hai Long also understood at this time and looked at Zhang Hao. The two clever little brothers knelt down at the same time and said respectfully, "I beg the gods to take us in."
The four Lingtongzi brothers all laughed. Everything was simpler than they imagined. These two boys were really smart. Lingtongzi said, "You all get up. Come with us to the top first." Before Brother Hailong could answer the Flying Sword Festival
As the sword light flickered, Hai Long and Zhang Hao felt that they were completely enveloped by an inexplicable energy. The scene in front of them changed and the mountain peaks beside them slid downwards quickly. They were ordinary children in a small village in the west border.
After experiencing such a big scene, Zhang Hao exclaimed and fainted immediately. Hai Long was no better than him. He barely glanced down and was frightened by the clouds and mist under his feet that kept stirring and floating.
Four green lights fell on Ling Tongzi at the top of Diling Peak. Lingyanzi put Hai Long and Zhang Hao on the ground. Ling Yuzi smiled and said, "Seeing their appearance reminds me of the scene when I first joined the sect. At that time, my senior brother led
When they were flying with me, I was more helpless than them and I was so scared that I peed my pants."
