Only I Shall Be Immortal - 2. Chapter 2 Mountaineering Apprentice (Part 1)

In the sky, the two figures looked at each other thousands of meters apart. One figure, with its feet on the colorful auspicious clouds, is emitting a soft golden light continuously. He looked more than 20 years old, with a solemn expression on his face, and his figure was tall and straight, and his whole body was covered with a faint fairy air.

The other figure was the opposite, with his feet on dark clouds, a black robe, and a scarlet cloak floating slightly behind him. He looked thirty or forty years old, and his face was stern.

The young man said lightly: “Since you let me see you today, there should be a break between us.”

The middle-aged man snorted and said, “Since you want to die, then this school will fulfill you.”

Although they are separated by kilometers, they can’t hinder their voices in the slightest.

Golden light and black-red blood lighted up at the same time, and colorful auspicious clouds and dark clouds approached like lightning.

“boom–”

Suddenly the golden light became so dazzling, and in an instant, thousands of rays of light shined brightly.

“Ah! Impossible, you, how could you? Could it be that those nine days of heavy calamity, you have…” The middle-aged man’s voice was full of panic.

“Yes, you guessed it. The sky and the earth, but I am the only immortal. Go and die.” Thousands of rays of Xiaguang merged with the golden light and turned into a powerful force…

“do not want–”

…………

The sun hangs high in the air and exudes its scorching light. It is so hot at noon in summer, and the loess on the ground loses its moisture. As long as the breeze caress it, it will bring up dust and make it more difficult for people to breathe. “Fuck, this ghost weather is really hot, and if this continues, I’m afraid I will return.” A childish voice said angrily. I saw two naked urchins sitting under the big tree by the dirt road. They were leaning against the big tree and nap in the shade of the tree. The stubbornness of talking was older, and they looked roughly About eight or nine years old, she has a slender figure, a sallow skin, a high nose bridge, small eyes, and a short tousled hair like dry grass. A few traces of sweat ooze from his forehead and sideburns, and the expression on his face looks very impatient.

“Brother Long, don’t complain. This weather is not something we can call the shots. The so-called calm mind is naturally cool. However, I really hope that there will be a heavy rain now and take away a few traces of dry air.” The younger boy beside the hair naughty boy is much more handsome than the naughty boy whom he called Long Ge. He wears a clean cloth on his shoulders, his skin is fair, and his eyes are big. With double eyelids and long black hair neatly combed behind his head, he was about seven or eight years old, a little shorter than the previous naughty boy.

Brother Long glanced at the talking naughty boy, snorted, and said, “Okay, bean sprouts, don’t speak so eloquently, and sound awkward. Your family’s conditions are not very good, but your kid has to go every day. I cried and went to school. What’s the use of going to school in this ghost place of ours? I see! You might as well go cutting wood with me, so that you can supplement the family.” These two children are from nearby villages, Long My brother’s name was Hailong. His parents had passed away when he was very young. He only left him a hut that could not shelter from rain in summer and wind in winter. He could only survive with the help of some kind villagers in the village. Now he makes a living by collecting firewood every day, using the firewood he has brought and exchanging some food for the villagers. The naughty boy he called Dou Ya’er was in the same village as Zhang Hao. They grew up together and were the best playmates. The conditions in Zhang Hao’s house were not much better than Hailong’s. His parents just relied on a thin piece of land next to the planting village to barely maintain. Livelihood. Children from poor families like them mature very early. Although they are less than ten years old, they always treat themselves as adults, and even try to imitate adults in their speech.

Hearing Hailong’s words, Zhang Hao, who was still gentle before, suddenly revealed his original form, hehe smiled and said, “Brother Long, how can I learn from the old scholar for a few days? What happened to me? In order to show my level! I won’t do firewood. You know, I’m the laziest. I don’t want to do anything except eat and sleep.”

Brother Long knocked on Zhang Hao’s head and said with a smile: “I know that your kid is like this. If you want to learn more, it is obviously an excuse for not wanting to do farm work. I think the words you know may not be better than mine. A few more, my brothers add up, I am afraid that the big watermelon characters will not fill the whole basket.”

Zhang Hao said angrily: “Knock on my head again and I will be anxious with you. I have lofty ideals, although being lazy is a very main purpose.”

Hailong smiled and leaned to Zhang Hao’s side, and under Zhang Hao’s vigilant gaze, another knock hit him on the head, obviously stronger than the previous one. Zhang Hao yelled and rushed forward, and the two of them fought together in the vulgar words that attacked each other. Hailong’s strength was obviously greater than that of Zhang Hao. After a while, he pressed him to the ground and said with a smile: “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 you were too hot to let you. This can’t be seen.”

“Hey.” Hailong curled his mouth to push Zhang Hao aside, wiped the sweat from his head, and sat down under the big tree, saying: “Your kid always said, it’s too hot, I won’t make trouble with you. By the way, just now you said you have lofty ideals, what are they? Let me listen to you and see how far your ideals are—big—”

Zhang Hao triumphantly said: “Of course my ideal is very far-big -.” Mysteriously leaning to Hailong’s side, he whispered in a low voice, “Boss, do you remember the story about the gods told by Grandpa Sun in the village? I have accurate information.”

Hailong was taken aback, sitting upright, Zhang Hao’s grandfather grandfather was the story king of the village. He often told some weird stories to entertain the children. Among them, there was one about the gods that attracted them the most. Hailong looked strangely. Zhang Hao said, “You kid is not mad, it can’t be true at all! No one can fly.”

Zhang Hao said: “Why not, there must be. My ideal is to be able to learn how to fly like those immortals. At that time, didn’t the world allow us to travel? About a year ago, there were two wearing Gorgeous people came to our village, all riding horses. They seemed to come from a long way, and they just came to our house to ask for water. You know, my dad is very hospitable and entertained it graciously. Two outsiders, I was sleeping at home that day, and when I heard an outsider came, I ran out to watch the fun. I happened to hear the conversation between the two. I didn’t believe in gods before, but after listening to them, I just know that it is really true! They said that there is some kind of school in Lianyun Mountain, a hundred miles away from us, and there are some immortals living there. They came to apprentice this time. There are many gods who can fly. Listening to the longing tone of those two people, there must be something true.”

Hearing Zhang Hao said this, Hailong suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes widened and said: “Really? Really, there are gods!”

Zhang Hao triumphantly said: “Of course it is true. The two outsiders also said that this school accepts disciples every five years, as if there is no special requirement, as long as they can read characters, there is no limit on age. If you can It would be great to be a fairy! Whatever you want to eat and drink, you can change it at will. Hey, that kind of life is best for me to make lazy food. Bug, you now know why I learn to write with the old scholar Got it.”

Hailong had been stunned by Zhang Hao’s words, even Zhang Hao called him the most hated nickname, he hadn’t noticed. He never expected that Zhang Hao’s ideals were so lofty.

Zhang Hao looked at Hailong’s dumbfounded look even more proud, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Little bug, this is my secret. If it weren’t for you to be my best brother, I wouldn’t Tell you. How about it? From now on, let me learn how to read. In four years, when you are 13 years old and I am 12 years old, we can go to that school to apprentice together. Maybe we will learn art. In a few years, we will be able to return to the hometown in splendor. When we return to the village, I will turn into a golden mountain for mom and dad, so that they can also enjoy the blessing.” Zhang Hao couldn’t help but laugh.

Hailong blinked his eyes and murmured, “If I go there to apprentice a teacher, will they take care of the food? As long as I can get enough food, I will go with you.” For the legendary fairy, how could he not yearn for it? Woolen cloth.

Zhang Hao said, “Of course I can take care of the food, and I should eat well. Didn’t Grandpa Sun say that all gods eat celestial fruit and drink jelly. Let’s learn to read words with me. When we both become immortals, Even if you want to be an emperor, it’s not impossible!”

Hailong scratched his head and said, “Isn’t it four years from now? Let’s talk about it. I don’t believe in such a vague thing.” He said so because he looked at Zhang Hao’s smug expression in his heart. In fact, he had already believed a lot. point.

Zhang Hao said dejectedly: “Bai has let me waste so much spit, knowing that you have no big ambitions. Even if you go with me, I am afraid that people will only accept me and ignore you.”

Hailong suddenly changed his expression: “What the hell are you talking about? I’m not as good as you? I’m not better than you in any aspect other than looks, huh, what’s so good about your little white face. Isn’t it just going to apprentice? Okay, I’ll go with you When the time comes, I’m not sure who will be returned? Tomorrow morning after I get firewood, we’ll learn to write together. I’m the smartest person in the village.”

Zhang Hao secretly smiled in his heart. He grew up together. Of course, he knew that Hailong’s temperament was the most unbearable. He put his arm around Hailong’s shoulders and shook his hands with a lot of dirt on the cloth. He laughed and said, “Okay. La, the smartest person in the village, go to my house. Yesterday Uncle Li brought some sweet potatoes, and you can eat them today.”

Hailong is obviously more interested in sweet potatoes than immortals, and a pair of small eyes suddenly shines brightly, “Wow, there are sweet potatoes to eat, great, these days I can’t even pull out the shit from eating chaff. Finally it is possible. Improve your life, go, go, go to your house and eat sweet potatoes.” The two laughed and walked towards the village not far away.

Four years later. Lianyun Mountains.

The Lianyun Mountain Range is located in the west, nearly ten thousand miles away from the Central Plains. The mountain range is composed of 72 undulating peaks, each towering into the clouds. Among them, strange peaks and rocks and springs in the mountains can be seen everywhere. The unpredictable sea of clouds seems to have become Like a bridge between them, it wraps around the mountainsides of the peaks, and the name Lianyun Mountain comes from this.

Lianyunzong, located in the Lianyun Mountains, is one of the seven great cultivating sects in the world, but because of its remote location, its influence is far less than the other six great sects in the Central Plains. However, its long history is the highest among all comprehension schools. According to legend, 10,000 years ago, Patriarch Lian Yun sat on the top of the main peak of the Lianyun Mountain Range to enlighten the Tao, became an immortal, and left a large number of cultivating treasures. Thousands of years later, several destined people came there unintentionally and got a handwritten note from Patriarch Lianyun. In order to appreciate Patriarch Lianyun, they established Lianyunzong here. On weekdays, the Seventy-two Peaks of Lianyun were completely surrounded by the immortal formation left by the ancestor Lianyun, and outsiders couldn’t get into it at all.

Today is the day when Lianyunzong takes up his disciples once every five years. There are thousands of rays of light from the top of Tianfeng Peak. The mist-shrouded 72 Peak seems to have changed. The fog gradually dissipates and winding paths appear. The outskirts of the mountains. As long as you pass these small roads, you can directly reach the twelve peaks outside the Lianyun Mountain Range, where they will be the test site for apprentices.

Lian Yunzong’s requirements for accepting disciples are much stricter than those of the other six sects. Every time there are many applicants for accepting disciples, very few can pass the test. Originally, there were few people here from the Central Plains, coupled with harsh conditions, fewer and fewer people came to sign up. Thousands of years ago, the heyday of tens of thousands of people came to sign up is no longer there, and the number of applicants five years ago was even 100. Insufficient, the last passed, and none of the poor.

Diling Peak, one of the twelve peaks on the periphery of the Lianyun Mountains, stands on top of the peak with four plainly dressed middle-aged men. Their looks are very ordinary, they are the simplest commoners, each carrying a long sword behind their backs.

“Brother Six, the mountain fairy formation has been open for four days. Why didn’t our Dilingfeng even have a ghost? Isn’t there even one sign up this time? I remember that there were nearly a hundred sign up five years ago. If this continues, I am afraid that even Yunzong will have no successors.”

The middle-aged man, who was called the Sixth Senior Brother, sighed softly and said: “Nine brother, you have to pay attention to your own words, what ghosts? If you let the master hear it, you won’t be able to eat it. Hey, let’s talk about it. We have been here in Lingfeng for 20 years and have not received more than ten disciples. There are simply too few people who can pass the test. Now even the Yunzong doesn’t even have a fifth-generation disciple.”
