Chapter 1 Seeking Immortals

The demon child is connected with the iron horse and the iron is connected with money, and the prostitute is folded with gold. The black censor's mansion is crying at night, and the bird wants to live in front of the Tingwei's door. The vermilion city is facing the jade road, and the green ridge is far away and the golden dike is gone.

This is a scene depicting the prosperity of the city in the Xianping period of the Song Dynasty. Although it was already midnight, the city of Xunyang was still singing and dancing, and the lights were like torches.

The outskirts of Xunyang City, with mountains and mountains overlapping before the night sky. It looks like a huge ink painting, which is extremely wonderful. The stars on the mountains are shining brightly, as if a handful of agate is sprinkled on it, shining brightly and quite spectacular. Although the scenery is good, it is a different scene.

At this moment, in the official road outside the city, taking advantage of the night, I suddenly saw a few black shadows running towards me, one running in front, and a few black shadows chasing behind me.

"Run? I think where can you run?"

"Stop! Damn, I caught you and you broke your leg!"

As he shouted, several figures ran closer, but saw a boy running in front of him, dressed in tatters and his body was not covered, and he was running wildly like crazy. He grinned and used all his energy to feed his breasts. His eyes were protruding like a goldfish leaving the water. The air in his chest was ruthlessly pumped out, and he was about to be unable to hold on.

Behind them were chasing several burly men, naked tops and shaking breasts. Each of them held a wooden stick as thick as an arm in their hands. They were all running out of breath, chasing them reluctantly, shouting and cursing while running.

It's no wonder that when the ragged boy was chased, he stole more than 100 taels of silver ingots from a wealthy family in Xunyang City when it was dark, he was discovered by these thugs. No wonder he chased him so tightly. The young man himself knew that if he was caught, he would definitely be beaten with a stick. Even if he was beaten to death, he would die in vain to the rich family.

So this is also a life-saving.

The young man was named Feng Xiao. He suffered from a serious illness since he was a child and was abandoned by his parents. Fortunately, he was adopted by a kind-hearted old man. He suffered from illness since childhood and almost died several times. The old man brought him to his current age with great difficulty. Not long ago, he also suffered from a stubborn illness and left.

A doctor in the Youfang once said that he could not survive twenty years old. Although these words were unfounded, Feng Xiao was once frowning. Seeing that he was sixteen years old and had not had a few years of life, he always felt helpless and was in great pain when he thought of it. In addition, the old Taoist had just died and he had no place to shelter the wind and rain. He was unwilling to stay in the ruined Taoist temple all day long and wait for death. There was nowhere to go in the future. That night, he happened to be in Xunyang City and saw that this was a prosperous place. He was really hungry for a while, so he found a wealthy family and climbed over the wall into the horse shed. He was originally weak, and he had to go in the main hall naturally, so he had to steal some silver ingots from a gorgeous carriage in the horse shed. It was probably the rich owner who landed on the carriage.

He put a package of silver and was about to climb over the wall as usual. Who knew that a big black dog suddenly jumped out of the horse shed, barking for a while, and then biting it. Feng Xiao was anxious at that time, and didn't know where he got his strength, so he actually avoided it. In a panic, he touched a horse and stepped on the horse's back, climbed over the wall and ran out.

But this alarmed the thugs in the mansion. How could these great men give up on Feng Xiao? They chased them all the way and rushed to the official road outside the city.

Feng Xiao did not dare to look back all the way, but only used his strength to live. He ran wildly for more than twenty miles and came to the foot of the mountain outside the city. At this moment, he was panicked and saw a gentle hillside ahead, and flashed into the forest.

The mountains and forests are gloomy and quiet, with endless twists and turns, and the sound of owls rising and falling everywhere. The wind blows the wild trees everywhere, like an unjust soul, and is swaying in the teeth and claws, making people feel heart-pounding.

Feng Xiao ran around in the forest like a headless fly. He looked back and saw that there were still shadows of the strong men behind him. Then he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He casually found a stone, sat down and gasped, like a broken bellows.

After gasping for a while, I took out the water hyacinth from my waist, took a few mouthfuls, and my heart felt a little cooler, and I felt much more comfortable.

But as soon as the last sip of water flowed to his mouth, a muddy voice sounded in his ear: "Who are you?"

Feng Xiao was shocked, his hands shook, but he poured the water into his nose, then choked and coughed a lot. He quickly raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, and looked forward with a look of horror.

But two feet away from him, there was a crooked and twisted person. Several people hugged a large cypress tree of thickness. Under the tree was a figure leaning against it, and the sound was made by this person.

Feng Xiao thought it was the big men who were chasing him, but after careful discerning, it was not. He then breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "It's deep in the middle of the night, in the wilderness, how could anyone be here? It must be a good master, so he ignored it immediately, packed up his gourd and left."

But I didn't expect that before I took two steps, I felt a flash in front of me, and a sloppy monk stood in front of me.

Feng Xiao really didn't expect the other party to be so strange. He was two or three feet away just now, and it was in front of him in a blink of an eye. Could it be that although he escaped from the beating, he encountered a demon again?

He once heard the old Taoist say that the human body is weak and the five spirits are all dark, and he cannot withstand the disturbances of the evil spirits and filthy souls.

At this moment, he didn't dare to raise his head. He knocked his heels and recited the Exit Method in his mouth. This was the exorcist that the old Taoist often recited during his lifetime. He didn't know whether it worked. He thought about it at this time and quickly recited it.

When the sloppy monk saw Feng Xiao's appearance, he scratched his bald head with a bitter look on his face and said, "I really don't know that it turned out to be a fellow Taoist. Why are you here alone in the wilderness in the middle of the night?"

Feng Xiao was stunned when he heard this. His spell seemed to have no effect, so he looked up at the sloppy monk. He saw that he was shiny and wore a ragged monk's robe. He had fat heads and big ears, and his face was full of red light, and he looked like a ghost.

Seeing this, he felt a little at ease and thought to himself: If this monk was not a filthy ghost, he would not be an ordinary person. However, he did not want to tell the story of his stealing money. After all, this was not a glorious thing. He immediately said: "I came from Xunyang City and went to my relatives' homes for some urgent matters, so I had to rush there overnight."

After hearing this, the monk said, "That's strange. Seeing that you are weak in physique, you dare to go to this wilderness alone. Are you not afraid of losing your life when you encounter a mountain spirit monster?"

Feng Xiao was also shocked when he heard this. Unexpectedly, the monk could see that he was infected with a bad disease at first sight. He was surprised, but he remained silent and said with a straight back: "I don't believe those, I'm not afraid at all! Why are you doing here late at night?"

The monk laughed and said, "Mencius will not lie, I will come to find the elixir!"

"What?" Feng Xiao was so shocked that he couldn't stop talking, and said strangely: "Are you a monk drunk? How can you be immortals and elixirs be there in this world?"

"Believe it or not! You'd better hurry up and don't bother me to sleep here!" After saying that, he ignored it and leaned on the trunk of the tree and fell asleep soundly.

Feng Xiao had to walk forward and thought to himself: Could it be that there are really immortals in this mountain? Is it true or false, so why don’t I go and look for it? If it is fake, it’s fine. If there is really an immortal, I will ask for a magic pill! Anyway, I have not lived for a few years, and even if I can’t find that immortal, I will be willing to die of exhaustion in the mountain!

As soon as I thought about it, I searched for a road in the forest and went up the mountain to find out.

In fact, if the monk's words were heard just now, they might not take them seriously, but they just fell into Feng Xiao's ears, just because he had no hope of survival. Now that he heard a glimmer of hope, how could he not find out the truth?

The hillside was getting steeper and there was no road at all. Feng Xiao stepped up the slope and tried hard to move up. The rocks were covered with gravel, and he was worried that if he accidentally stepped on the slippery rocks, he would roll down and break his bones.

Although the mountains were cold, he was sweating hotly and his back was wet. He was walking very hard. He was already weak and weak. In addition, the hillside became steeper, so he was panting like a cow, sweating like rain, and his arms and legs were vaguely sore.

I wanted to take a rest for a while, but looked around, but found that there was no place to sit here, and it was extremely difficult to stand, let alone have room for rest.

There was no other way, so he had to grit his teeth and climb the surrounding trees, dripping sweat, and climb hard.

After leaving for about half an hour, Feng Xiao wiped his sweat from his sleeves and was panting. He looked up and saw the shadows of the trees ahead, swaying and swaying, without any end.

He was secretly frightened in his heart, not thinking that the mountain was really steep, but a side peak was so difficult to climb. If it were the main peak, it would be difficult to climb even a spiritual ape.

The dark curtains ahead were shrouded in nowhere. Even if he was stubborn, he couldn't help but feel retreating at this moment. Unfortunately, it was not easy to have such a long journey at this time. It was easy to give up like this. But after a long time of hard work, he was in vain. The dream of an immortal was destroyed. Thinking that he had not lived for a few years and was just waiting for death when he went back, why not grit his teeth and persevere, and there was still a glimmer of hope?

Thinking of this, he leaned against a twisted tree trunk, gasped for a while, then used his hands and feet, gritted his teeth, and continued to climb upwards.

Stepping on the gravel and walking hard, this journey was a cup of tea, but unexpectedly, a huge rock above was blocked from the way.

Feng Xiao was stunned and hurriedly found a small tree leaning against his body. Then he looked carefully, but saw the huge rock blocking the passage above tightly and extremely tall. If he wanted to climb over, he would be a fool to use his current situation as a dream.

He was full of despair and was already a little discouraged, but he accidentally caught a purple vine hanging from the huge rock, swaying in the wind.

After a closer look, it turned out that there was a wild gourd tree next to it. I don’t know if it had been growing here for hundreds of years. Fortunately, a thick gourd vine drilled into the cracks of the rocks and hung on the huge rocks.

It was this gourd vine that gave him a glimmer of hope and rested for a while. He immediately clung to the boulder carefully, and felt that the boulder was cold and suddenly made him tremble.

Fortunately, the vine was not high, Feng Xiao stood on tiptoe and finally grabbed it in his hand. He tried to pull it two or three times, but it was still strong. So he saliva and rubbed each other, then stepped on the huge rock and climbed up with all his strength.

After climbing over the huge rock, it turned out to be a flat stone platform four meters square. Feng Xiao rolled up and collapsed on it, like mud, unable to move, just gasping for breath.

Looking up at the sky, I saw that the stars in the sky seemed to be a little closer. A dark cloud passed by the bright moon, covering a shadow and covering the mountains that stretched for thousands of miles.

Feng Xiao gasped for a long time, and felt his legs and feet were sore and numb. After he recovered, he hurriedly looked around. He saw that this place was a stone plaza between the mountainside. The stone plaza seemed to be paved flat, and it was definitely not formed naturally. When he touched the stone plaza, he felt that a little coolness came through his body, and it was extremely smooth. It can be seen that it was indeed artificially built.
