Yandang Mountain is a famous mountain in Yanbei. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, at dusk, you can watch the purple air coming from the east on the top of the mountain, which is an auspicious sign!
Legend has it that Master Xuan traveled here and when he saw this mountain, he said he was destined to open the door and established the Longxuan Gate.
At this time, in front of the stone steps at the foot of the mountain, two disciples were about to change the guard when they saw three children stumbling towards them in the distance.
These three dolls supported each other, all of them were sallow and emaciated. Before they reached the stone steps at the bottom of the mountain, two of them fainted first, leaving only the doll with the larger head in the middle dragging them forward.
"Erdan! Goudan! Hold on, it's almost here! It's really almost here this time!"
However, Shu Han himself was exhausted and almost fainted.
After leaving the green bamboo forest, the three children fell into confusion.
Goudan cried so much that he wanted to go back, while Erdan also wanted to go home, but was waiting for Shu Han to make up his mind.
After a bloody fight, Zhang Xianchang was still dead. Why didn't Shu Han want to go home?
However, he knew that they were already far away from Canglang Mountain, and it was impossible for the three of them to go back. Anyway, he took Goudan and asked for directions, and walked towards Longxuanmen step by step.
The baby's legs were limited, so they had to stop and go during the two-day journey, which took them five days and five nights.
The three people almost relied on a little charity on the roadside and walked without enough food.
Many times Erdan and Goudan fainted from hunger on the road, and Shu Han found some bark and leaves to feed them to wake them up.
When the two mountain watchers saw this, they immediately ran over and asked, "Which family are you from? What are you doing here?"
Shu Han took a strong breath and said weakly: "Immortal chief... We are the children of Shuzhuang in Canglang Mountain... We have come to worship at the Longxuan Sect..."
"Canglang Mountain Shuzhuang?"
The two disciples looked at each other: "Isn't that Senior Brother Zhang who is responsible? Where is Senior Brother Zhang?"
Shu Han's eyes showed sadness: "Zhang Xianchang was ambushed by a group of bandits and died in the bamboo forest."
"What!"
One of them shook his head: "A little kid with a red mouth and white teeth is talking nonsense! How could Senior Brother Zhang, who is in the sixth level of Qi Refining, die at the hands of a group of mountain bandits!" Shu Han's mind raced and he tried his best to describe the scene of that day to them.
Only then did their doubts slowly dispel.
"This is serious! We must report it to the elders immediately!"
"Li Heng, take these three dolls to Qiling Pavilion and hand them over to the third elder. I will go to the back mountain immediately to report to the elder! These Jianghu gangs really don't want to live anymore, they dare to mess with our Longxuanmen!"
Soon, the man named Li Heng came over and carried the unconscious Erdan and Gouwa one by one. The other disciple took the lead up the mountain, climbing dozens of steps at a time, like a swift flying close to the ground, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Shu Han cheered up and followed Li Heng on the stone steps up the mountain.
Seeing him panting, Li Heng smiled and said, "Baby, do you want me to carry you?"
Shu Han gritted his teeth and said, "No, I have the energy to spare and can walk by myself."
"Yes, to be able to bring these two children from the green bamboo forest to here is quite remarkable at such a young age. Baby, what is your name?"
"Shuhan!"
Li Heng squatted down, pointed to Shu Han a loft in the distance, and said: "Xiao Shu Han, have you seen it? That is the Qiling Pavilion of Longxuanmen! If you want to go by yourself, I won't wait for you. Go to Qiling Pavilion."
Report to the Ling Pavilion, and the third elder will identify your spiritual roots."
"Thank you, Immortal!"
"Haha, don't call me Immortal Chief from now on, just call me Senior Brother Li Heng!"
Having said that, the wind blew under Li Heng's feet, and he carried Goudan and Erdan as fast as lightning, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Shu Han couldn't help but feel envious in his heart, but Zhang Xianchang's death still lingered, reminding him all the time that immortals are not completely free and easy.
The sun sets in the west.
Shu Han climbed up and down and finally arrived in front of Qiling Pavilion.
At this moment, the two children, Goudan and Erdan, were sitting in front of Qiling Pavilion. They had washed away their fatigue and were full of energy. When they saw Shu Han finally coming over, the two children immediately greeted him, supporting each other from the left to the right.
Shuhan's legs were weak.
Although Goudan was hostile to Shu Han, it was just a harmless jealousy of Shu Han because he was jealous of Shu Han's prestige among the children in the village.
During this trip, Shu Han's encouragement and care for the two of them also made him see clearly the difference between himself and Shu Han.
Erdan excitedly said to Shu Han: "Brother Big Tou, guess what kind of spiritual roots I have! Double spiritual roots of earth and wood! The third elder said that I am a rare genius of Longxuan Sect!"
Goudan also said: "I am a little worse than Erdan, with the three spiritual roots of water, wood and fire! The third elder said that my qualifications are not bad either!"
Shu Han smiled weakly at them, feeling happy for his fellow villagers, but also worried about his own talent.
He knew very well how many Fu Fang Cao he had awakened his spiritual roots. At this time, he kept praying in his heart, hoping that his talent would not be too bad.
In Qiling Pavilion, the third elder, whose white beard is more than his hair, is sitting cross-legged on the futon.
The first impression of Shu Han is that he is very old.
He has never seen such an old man. The people in Shuzhuang eat whole grains all year round and face the loess with their backs to the sky every day. Most of them died of illness in their fifties. The village chief's grandfather is the oldest, and he is only fifty-nine this year.
As for the old man in front of him, Shu Han felt that he was hundreds of years old.
The third elder slowly opened his eyes and exclaimed: "This year Shuzhuang has sent a lot of babies, and each one is more talented than the last. It's a pity that Master Nephew Zhang died at a young age, otherwise it must have been a great achievement. Come on.
, Baby, reach out your hand, I will show you the spiritual root."
Shu Han's small hand was grabbed by the third elder, but the hand that looked like a dead branch had irresistible strength.
The third elder stroked his beard and closed his eyes in deep thought.
"There is a fire spirit root..."
"Water Spirit Root..."
"There are also earth spiritual roots...three spiritual roots, it's not bad."
"Huh? The wood spirit root is also here! It's an ordinary four spirit root."
The third elder suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Shu Han in surprise, and said strangely: "There are actually golden spiritual roots! Five spiritual roots! What the hell, five spiritual roots can be awakened? This is the first time I have seen this in my life.
.”
Shu Han asked weakly: "Elder, my talent..."
"Your talent is also top-notch, but it's just below the top level. I've been practicing Taoism for 150 years and I've never seen anyone worse than you. It's a miracle that you can awaken, little baby."
Shu Han's eyes dimmed: "Elder, can I become an immortal?"
"You can cultivate through cultivation, but even if you work hard all your life, it will be difficult to break through to the third level of Qi refining. That's all, I have received two good dolls, and I can't expect to get another one. You can stay at Longxuanmen as a handyman, doll."
How much luck you have is up to you."
Then the third elder waved Li Heng over and said, "You will bring these two dolls to Tianyun Pavilion tomorrow and serve them under the great elder, so that he can teach them well. As for this doll, send it to the second elder to have a look.
