Chapter 1 Mountaineering and Apprenticeship (Part 1)
In the sky, two figures looked at each other thousands of meters apart. One of the figures stood on colorful auspicious clouds, and his whole body was constantly emitting soft golden light. He looked to be in his twenties, with a solemn look on his face, a tall and straight body, and
It was shrouded in a faint fairy atmosphere.
Another figure was completely opposite. He stood on dark clouds, dressed in black robes, with a scarlet cloak floating slightly behind his back. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, and his face was full of ferocity.
The young man said calmly: "Since you let me see you today, we should make an end."
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 in the slightest.
Golden light and black-red blood light lit up at the same time, and colorful auspicious clouds and dark clouds approached like lightning.
"boom--"
The golden light suddenly became so dazzling, and in an instant, thousands of rays of glow were released.
"Ah! Impossible, you, how could you do it? Could it be that during the Nine Heavens of Severe Tribulation, you have already..." The middle-aged man's voice was full of panic.
"Yes, you guessed it right. I am the only immortal in the sky and on the earth. Go to hell." Thousands of rays of rays of light merged with the golden light, turning into a powerful force and suddenly going away...
"don't want--"
…………
The sun hangs high in the sky emitting its scorching rays. 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. "He
Damn it, it’s so hot here. If it continues like this, I’m afraid I’ll have to return to my position.” A childish voice said angrily. I saw two shirtless urchins sitting under the big tree beside the dirt road.
He was leaning against a big tree, taking a drowsy nap in its shade. The naughty boy who was talking was older. He looked about eight or nine years old, with a slender figure, sallow skin, a high nose bridge, and small eyes.
Her short, messy hair was like withered grass. There were a few strands of sweat on her forehead and around her temples, and her face looked impatient.
"Brother Long, please stop complaining. We can't control the weather. The so-called peace of mind will naturally cool down. However, I really hope that there will be a heavy rain now, which will take away some of the irritability." The one who spoke was Chaos.
The younger boy next to the naughty boy was much more handsome than the naughty boy he called Brother Long. He had a clean cloth draped over his shoulders, fair skin, and big eyes.
He has double eyelids and slightly long black hair neatly combed on the back of his head. He is about seven or eight years old and shorter than the previous naughty boy.
Brother Long glanced at the talking naughty boy, snorted, and said: "Okay, Dou Ya'er, please don't be so polite when you speak, it sounds awkward. Your family's conditions are not very good, but you kid insists on doing this every day
Go to school crying. What’s the use of going to school in this hellish place like ours? Let’s see! You might as well go chop wood with me, so that you can supplement the family income.” These two children are from nearby villages, Long.
His brother's name is Hai Long. His parents died when he was very young, leaving him with only a thatched hut that cannot protect him from rain in summer and wind in winter. He has been able to survive by being helped by some kind-hearted villagers in the village. Now he
He makes a living by collecting firewood every day, and uses the firewood he collects and exchanges some food with the villagers. The naughty boy he calls Dou Sprout is from the same village as him, named Zhang Hao. The two grew up together and are the best playmates. Zhang Hao's family
The conditions are not much better than Hai Long. His parents just rely on a thin piece of land next to the plantation village to make a living. Children from poor families like them mature very early. Although they are less than ten years old, they always regard themselves as adults.
Look, even the tone of voice is trying to imitate adults.
After listening to Hai Long's words, Zhang Hao, who had previously been polite and elegant, suddenly revealed his true colors and said with a smile: "Brother Long, after all, I have studied with that old scholar for a few days, so what's wrong with me dragging the text? Like this
Only then can I show my level! I don’t want to collect firewood. You also know that I am the laziest. I don’t want to do anything else except eating and sleeping.”
Brother Long hit Zhang Hao on the head and scolded him with a smile: "I know you are like this. Wanting to learn more is obviously an excuse for not wanting to do farm work. I think you may not know as many words as me."
If there are a few more, we brothers combined, I’m afraid the words as big as watermelons won’t be able to fill a basket.”
Zhang Hao said angrily: "Knock me on the head again and I will get angry with you. I have lofty ideals, although laziness is a very important purpose."
Hai Long chuckled and came to Zhang Hao's side. 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 pounced on him.
The two of them struggled with each other while attacking each other with vulgar words. Hai Long was obviously stronger than Zhang Hao. After a while, he pushed him to the ground and said with a smile: "I'll accept it."
Although Zhang Hao was restrained, he refused to admit defeat. He snorted and said unwillingly: "The weather is too hot. I let you do it because I was afraid that you would be too hot. You can't even tell."
"Hey." Hai 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 that it's too hot and I won't make trouble with you.
By the way, you just said that you have lofty ideals, what are they? Let me listen and see how far-reaching your ideals are - big - "
Zhang Hao said proudly: "Of course my ideal is very far - big -." He mysteriously came to Hai Long's side 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. Grandpa Sun, whom Zhang Hao mentioned, was the king of stories 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 it strangely.
Zhang Hao said: "Aren't you crazy? That can't be true! No one can fly."
Zhang Hao said: "Why not? There must be. My ideal is to be able to learn the ability to fly like those immortals. At that time, didn't the world allow us to roam? About a year ago, there were two people wearing
Gorgeous people came to our village, all riding horses. They seemed to have come from afar, and they happened to come to our house to ask for water. As you know, my father is very hospitable and entertained those people attentively.
Two outsiders. I was sleeping at home that day. When I heard outsiders coming, I ran out to watch the excitement. I happened to overhear the conversation of those two people. I didn’t believe in gods before, but after listening to what they said,
Only then did I know that it was indeed true! They said that there is a certain sect in Lianyun Mountain a hundred miles away from us, and there are some immortals living there. They came this time to become apprentices.
There are many gods who can fly. Listening to the longing tone of those two people, it must be true."
Hearing Zhang Hao say this, Hai Long suddenly became energetic, widened his eyes and 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. It seems that there are no special requirements. As long as they can read, there is no age limit. If they can
How wonderful it would be to be a god! You can have whatever you want to eat or drink at a moment's notice. Hehe, that kind of life is most suitable for a lazy and lazy person like me. Xiao Chong, now you know why I went to learn how to write with an old scholar.
Alright."
Hai Long was stunned by Zhang Hao's words. He didn't even notice that Zhang Hao called him the nickname he hated to hear. He never thought that Zhang Hao's ideals were so lofty.
Zhang Hao became even more proud when he saw Hai Long's dumbfounded look. He 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
Let me tell you. What do you think? Come with me and learn how to read from now on. In four years, when you are thirteen and I am twelve, we will go to that sect together to become apprentices. Maybe we can learn some skills.
In a few years, we will be able to return home in fine clothes, and when we return to the village, I will turn a golden mountain into a mountain of gold for my parents, so that they can also enjoy the happiness." Zhang Hao couldn't help laughing when he thought of the proud moment.
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 make me full, I will go with you." How could he not yearn for the legendary gods?
Woolen cloth.
Zhang Hao said: "Of course you can take care of the food, and you should eat well. Didn't Grandpa Sun say that the gods eat fairy fruits and drink fine wine? Come with me and learn how to read with the old scholar. When we both become fairy queens,
Even if you 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 had believed it for a few times.
point.
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? Except for my appearance, I'm not better than you in any way. Huh, what's so good about your pretty face? Isn't it just to become a disciple? Okay, I'll go with you.
, when the time comes, who will be returned? Tomorrow morning after I collect firewood, we will learn to 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 put his arms around Hai Long's shoulders, shook the cloth in his hands that was stained with a lot of mud, and said with a smile: "Okay.
La, the smartest person 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, and a pair of small eyes suddenly shone brightly, "Wow, there are sweet potatoes to eat. It's great. I have been eating so much bran these days that I can hardly poop. Finally I can.
Life has improved. Let's go, let's go quickly, I'll go to your house to eat sweet potatoes." The two laughed and headed towards the village not far away.
Four years later. Lianyun Mountains.
The Lianyun Mountains are located in the western border, nearly ten thousand miles away from the Central Plains. The mountains are composed of 72 rolling peaks, each towering into the clouds. Among them, there are strange peaks and rocks, and springs in the mountains can be seen everywhere. The unpredictable sea of clouds seems to be a
Like a bridge between them, it winds around the mountainside of the peaks, hence the name Lianyun Mountains.
Lianyun Sect, located in the Lianyun Mountains, 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 one of the major cultivation sects in the world.
It is said that thousands of years ago, the Lianyun Patriarch sat on the top of Jietian Peak, the main peak of the Lianyun Mountains, and realized Taoism. He became an immortal and left behind a large number of cultivation books. Thousands of years later, several destined people accidentally came there.
After getting the handwritten notes of Patriarch Lianyun, they established Lianyun Sect here in order to express their gratitude to Patriarch Lianyun. On weekdays, Lianyun Seventy-two Peaks were completely surrounded by the immortal formation left by Patriarch Lianyun, and outsiders could not come here.
Go deep into it.
Today is another day every five years when the Lianyun Sect accepts disciples. Thousands of rays of rays of light are emitted from the top of Jietian Peak. The seventy-two peaks shrouded in clouds and mist seem to have changed. The fog gradually disperses, and winding paths appear one after another.
On the outskirts of the mountain range. As long as you pass these trails, you can directly reach the twelve peaks on the outskirts of the Lianyun Mountain Range. There will be a place for apprenticeship testing.
The Lianyun Sect's requirements for accepting disciples are much stricter than those of the other six major sects. Every time it accepts 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
Harsh, fewer and fewer people come to apply. Thousands of years ago, the heyday when tens of thousands of people came to apply is no longer there. Five years ago, the number of applicants was less than 100, and in the end, no one passed.
.
Diling Peak, one of the twelve peaks on the outskirts of the Lianyun Mountains, has four middle-aged men in simple clothes standing on the top of the peak. They all have ordinary looks, wearing the simplest commoners, and each carries a long sword on his 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 always 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 the master hears it, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat and walk around. Hey, you still said,
We have not had more than ten disciples here in Diling Peak for twenty years. There are simply too few people who can pass the test. As a result, the Yun Sect now doesn’t even have a fifth-generation disciple."
