A young man dressed in gray coarse cloth, holding a fishing rod in his hand, was sitting cross-legged on the edge of a deep pool, fishing quietly.
"Today seems so unlucky. Why didn't I catch a single fish?" Lin Yufeng lowered his head and looked at the pool depressedly. Unfortunately, the pool was like an ancient well without waves, and there was no movement at all.
Lin Yufeng is an ordinary young man in the ancient village. His father passed away when he was a child, and his mother was seriously ill and bedridden. The burden of the family fell on him at only fifteen years old.
"In half a year, it's time for the seed selection..."
He held the pole with one hand and supported his head with the other hand. He sighed softly and said to himself: "If I can't pass, then there will be no money to treat my mother's illness."
The village where Lin Yufeng grew up was called the Ancient Village. Due to its remote location, Lin Yufeng never had the opportunity to leave the Ancient Village.
Fortunately, however, according to the old people in the ancient village, a sect called Gumen will recruit disciples in half a year, and the chosen location is also in a remote place in the ancient village. For those who are worried about having no money to treat their mother,
For Lin Yufeng, it is undoubtedly a timely help.
Although Lin Yufeng didn't know what kind of sect the Gumen was, it sounded like it was very powerful. The elders in the village said that joining the sect would bring benefits that Lin Yufeng could never imagine in his life.
For this reason, Lin Yufeng made up his mind to pass the seed selection competition. Only by passing it can he enter the ancient gate and obtain money and medicinal materials to treat his mother's illness.
But it is a pity that Lin Yufeng is just a mortal and has no chance to even touch the word cultivation. No matter how hard he tries, he still cannot condense the spiritual energy in his Dantian.
"Could it be that I am something that is rare in the world of cultivation for a thousand years..." Lin Yufeng looked up at the sky and said depressedly: "Mediocre?"
Today, Lin Yufeng practiced hard all morning, but still got nothing. Feeling depressed, he went to the deep pool to fish in order to relieve his depression.
But God always seemed to be having trouble with Lin Yufeng. He stayed by the deep pool for nearly two hours without even seeing a fish.
"Oh my God, why am I always the unlucky one?" Lin Yufeng couldn't help complaining when he saw that there was still no movement from the fish float.
"Brother Feng, brother Feng."
At this moment, a petite and beautiful figure trotted from not far away, and after a while, a girl with a beautiful and refined appearance came next to Lin Yufeng.
"Ah, it's Ling'er, what's wrong?" Lin Yufeng reluctantly showed a smile when he saw the girl.
The girl's name is Fei Ling, and she is Lin Yufeng's childhood playmate. The beautiful childhood times created a friendship between the two like childhood sweethearts.
"What's wrong, Brother Feng, haven't you caught a fish yet?" Fei Ling covered her small mouth and said with a sweet smile.
Hearing this, Lin Yufeng nodded depressedly and said, "I didn't even see the fish's tail. I'm so unlucky today."
"Okay, okay, stop complaining." Seeing Lin Yufeng's listless look, Fei Ling chuckled and said, "By the way, it's getting late, and my aunt asked you to go back."
Lin Yufeng responded, and then chatted with Fei Ling for a few words before letting the latter go back first.
"Alas, it seems that there is nothing gained today." Lin Yufeng sighed slightly and prepared to put away the fishing rod.
However, when he was about to put away the fishing rod, the fishing line suddenly trembled, and then the waves rolled around the hook.
"Took the bait?" Upon seeing this, Lin Yufeng was overjoyed and immediately prepared to pull the string.
However, the fish seemed to be unusually strong. No matter how hard Lin Yufeng tried to pull it, it still refused to take the bait. The waves caused by its struggle were extremely rough, so one can imagine that it was a big fish!
"I don't believe I can't pull you up!" Lin Yufeng gritted his teeth and used all his strength to pull the fishing rod.
"boom!"
Suddenly there was a loud noise from the deep pool, and then Lin Yufeng exclaimed and flew into the deep pool with his pole!….
"Ahem, what kind of fish is this? How come it is stronger than my ox?"
In the deep pool, Lin Yufeng took a few sips of water and scanned the bottom of the pool, but found no trace of the fish, and strangely, his fishing rod was also missing!
"Can't hit ghosts anymore?" Lin Yufeng thought with lingering fear.
"Unfortunately, I didn't catch the fish, the fishing rod disappeared, and I was covered in water."
After glancing around and not seeing his beloved fishing rod, Lin Yufeng was furious, but now he had no choice but to swallow his anger and prepare to swim ashore and go home.
However, just when Lin Yufeng was about to return without success, a bright light suddenly came from the bottom of the pool!
This bright light just flashed away, but Lin Yufeng was keenly aware of it.
"This light is weird."
Doubtful in his heart, Lin Yufeng hesitated for a while and decided to go to the bright light to have a look.
Lin Yufeng's water quality was good and he could maintain his diving for a certain period of time. He swam to the bright light in a few strokes.
"Hey, what is this?" Lin Yufeng was a little surprised.
At the bright light, there was a circular stone seal, and there was a palm print on the stone seal.
"This deep pool is really weird. Do you want to put your palm print on it?" Lin Yufeng looked at the palm print and thought deeply.
However, driven by curiosity, Lin Yufeng just pondered for a while and then put his hand on it without hesitation.
"Click!"
As soon as Lin Yufeng put his palm on it, an adult-sized rectangular passage appeared in front of him!
"It's strange, why is there a passage at the bottom of the pool?" Lin Yufeng looked at the passage in front of him in shock. Because the passage was too long and very dark, Lin Yufeng didn't know where it led.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Yufeng immediately swam in. However, when his whole body entered the passage, there was a sudden "click" and the door was closed.
"Oops, it's closed?" Lin Yufeng's face changed slightly when he saw this, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly startled.
He can actually speak!
The pool outside cannot enter here!
"The more I think about it, the weirder it becomes, where does this passage lead to?" Lin Yufeng frowned slightly and murmured.
At this moment, there was a sudden 'pop', and the passage suddenly lit up.
Lin Yufeng was naturally startled by the sudden change. When he saw the torches on the wall of the passage, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After a pause, Lin Yufeng raised his feet and prepared to walk down the passage. However, when he was about to raise his feet, he suddenly looked at the walls on both sides in shock.
"This...this is...!" Lin Yufeng looked at the wall in front of him in horror.
I saw a place on the right wall carved with a snake-like body, a human-like face, and a red creature all over its body. It had ferocious eyes and breathed out divine light.
"Zhulong! Isn't this Zhulong?" Lin Yufeng's eyes widened.
The candle dragon is a strange beast that only exists in legends. When you open your eyes, the world becomes day. When the candle dragon closes its eyes, the world becomes night. When the candle dragon blows a breath, the world becomes winter. When you exhale, the world becomes summer.
.The candle dragon never eats, never drinks, and has no breath. Once it exhales, the world will become windy.
How could this legendary ancient ferocious beast appear on the murals on the ancient road?
However, when Lin Yufeng came back to his senses, his expression became wonderful again.
On the wall on the left is a bird that looks like a red-crowned crane, but has only one leg, a blue body with red spots, and a white beak.
"Isn't this Bi Fang? Bi Fang of the legendary fire omen?" Lin Yufeng looked at the one-legged bird with dull eyes.
However, not only the candle dragon is in full shape, there are also many legendary beasts engraved on the walls!
"Oh my God, isn't this a Jian that can compete with a dragon?"
"Even the tengu who ward off evil spirits appeared..."...
"Could this Qilin Holy Beast really exist?"
I saw various rare and exotic animals carved on the surrounding walls, such as candle dragons, Jiu Shu, Jiu Feng, Jiu Zi... and even the legendary dragon!
These murals of strange animals cover the entire passage wall, and a breath of vicissitudes from the ancient times gradually permeates the entire ancient road.
"Aren't these all legendary beasts? Why are they carved on the wall?" Lin Yufeng's face at this time could no longer be described as shocked.
As we all know, humans have only recorded the legendary ancient beasts from books, and have not seen their true appearance in Lushan. Lin Yufeng was able to identify them because he had read "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" when he was a child, and was slightly familiar with the appearance of some of these strange beasts.
.
However, this is only a part that can be identified, there are more strange and strange beasts, and Lin Yufeng can't even figure out what kind of creature they are.
"This wall is so scary, so what will this ancient road lead to?" Lin Yufeng couldn't help but wonder.
Just because the walls show such lifelike and vivid beasts, does it mean that the passage leads to something other than an ordinary place?
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Lin Yufeng took a deep breath and walked forward slowly.
He knew that this ancient road must be very mysterious, and if nothing unexpected happened, it must be hiding something that only existed in legends.
Along the way, even though Lin Yufeng had just seen some strange beasts and felt much calmer, he was still frightened by the murals on the walls.
Not only ancient ferocious beasts, but also ancient great figures, Chi You, Xing Tian, Huangdi, Kuafu, Shennong... all of these are actually carved on the walls, and there are also some monsters and monsters that I don't know if they ever existed.
The ancient road is like a bottomless pit, with infinite ancient meaning and profound tranquility. There are more and more legends on the murals.
"Damn it, why do I always feel like I can't reach the end?" After walking for a long time, Lin Yufeng panted heavily, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and complained.
"No matter what, let's take a rest before leaving. If we continue like this, we will be exhausted before we reach the end." Lin Yufeng exhaled, murmured to himself, and then sat down against the wall.
However, when Lin Yufeng touched the wall, the entire ancient road suddenly trembled!
"What...what's going on?" Lin Yufeng looked at the violently trembling ancient road in shock.
Just when Lin Yufeng was at a loss, something even weirder happened!
I saw the ancient beasts and legendary powers on the murals moving strangely one by one, and gradually, they broke away from the wall!
"The things on these murals will not be resurrected?" Lin Yufeng took a few steps back with some fear, staring in shock at the legendary existence that was slowly breaking away from the wall.
A monster with nine tails and the body of a tiger was the first to struggle out of the shackles of the wall, then turned into a ray of divine light and flew suddenly towards Lin Yufeng.
"No? Really resurrected?" Lin Yufeng was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat when he saw this divine light coming. He instinctively used his hands to block it in front of him.
However, strangely, Lin Yufeng did not feel any pain. When he came to his senses, he suddenly opened his mouth in horror!
I saw those ancient beasts and legendary figures detaching themselves from the wall one by one, turning into rays of divine light, all flying towards Lin Yufeng's back. When some of the divine light came into contact with Lin Yufeng, it penetrated strangely.
Countless divine lights, strange and mysterious, as bright and bright as gorgeous fireworks.
Lin Yufeng suppressed the shock in his heart and watched these divine lights flying behind him. He turned around suddenly and his eyes widened in shock again!
The divine light he saw actually gathered together and formed a small white door!
The small door is completely white, shining with divine light. As these divine lights are added, it gradually becomes larger.
"Damn...it's really a ghost now." Lin Yufeng swallowed hard, his heartbeat accelerated violently, and he stared at the white light door.
Gradually, the divine light became rarer and rarer, and the door became larger and larger, until the last divine light condensed behind the light door, which in vain emitted a burst of dazzling light, forming an ordinary door that actually blocked the front.
The way of the ancient road.
The gate seemed ordinary, but Lin Yufeng clearly felt that it contained a desolate atmosphere from ancient times, which made people's souls tremble!
"Sweat... I didn't expect there to be such a door on this ancient road..." Lin Yufeng wiped away the traces of sweat. In less than a day, what he encountered was so weird that he almost came out.
Having a heart attack.
After pondering for a while, Lin Yufeng decided to open the door.
The gate of the ancient road leading here is closed. Since I can't get out, I have to open the gate to see what's there. Maybe I can find a way out.
Holding the doorknob, Lin Yufeng took a deep breath. Subconsciously, he knew that what was inside must be unusual.
"Click!"
The door opened, and suddenly a ray of light shone into Lin Yufeng's eyes, causing the latter to instinctively close his eyes.
However, when Lin Yufeng gradually opened his eyes, he instantly fell into petrification!
