Chapter 1 Evening Talk in the Mountain Village

In Chu State, a group of people were traveling quickly on a winding path leading to Luoxia Mountain in the northwest. I have no nostalgia for the autumn scenery with all the forest on both sides of the road, and the beauty of the sunset filling the sky in the distance.

Among the group of people, the leader was a middle-aged man. The man was wearing brocade clothes, a silk scarf on his head, a long sword on his waist, and extraordinary weapons.

However, at this time, the big man frowned and stared into the distance. The two people behind him were dressed in black and had long knives on their waists. They followed closely behind the big man with cold expressions on their faces.

Behind the two men in black is a handsome young man wearing a jade pendant hanging from his waist, wearing white clothes and a bun on his head. He was originally a good and heroic young master, but now he looked tired and slightly resentful.

The carriage behind everyone was swaying left and right on the rugged mountain road, as if it might fall apart at any time.

The big man's name is Li Kun. He runs a well-known Baiyuntang in the county town, specializing in the sale of medicinal materials.

The two men in black are his escorts, the boy in white is his son Li Haoran, and in the carriage sits his married wife Yu Meilian.

"Dad, how long do we have to go? Can we take a break? My body can't bear it anymore. Look at the carriage my mother is sitting in. It's almost falling apart." Li Haoran said with some dissatisfaction.

Hearing the young man's complaints, the leader Li Kun pulled the reins in his hand, stopped the horse, and glanced at the carriage behind him, with a look of pity in his eyes.

However, he then waved his hand and said resolutely: "We can't rest yet. We have to rush to Laohuai Village tonight. When I see your uncle, please stop complaining to me and hold on a little longer.

If it weren't for your business, we wouldn't be in such a hurry to come here. After meeting your uncle, don't show this expression, or see how I deal with you. "

After listening to the big man's words, Li Haoran's face became even more ugly, and he even muttered: "Why does uncle have to live in this remote place in the countryside? Really."

As if he heard the young man's muttering, the big man turned his head and stared at him fiercely. The young man shrank his neck in fright, no longer dared to speak, and followed closely on horseback.

The sky was gradually getting dark, and a group of people stopped in front of an ancient mountain village. On the way into the village, there was a tall old locust tree.

At this moment, the leaves of the old locust tree have fallen off, and the dry branches are constantly swaying in the west wind. Seeing the old locust tree, the big man's face showed a hint of joy, and he said to the people behind him: "Let's enter the village."

The mountain village was very quiet at night. Basically no one came out and walked around after dark. After the group entered the village, no one noticed it. Only a few sporadic barkings came from the village, breaking the tranquility of Ningshan Village.

Li Kun and his group walked to the west end of the village and stopped in front of a simple courtyard. Li Kun shouted excitedly: "Brother, I'm back."

As soon as the voice fell, the door was opened. Then a big man wearing coarse linen clothes and holding a dry pipe came out.

The big man's name is Li Qian, the doctor in the village; behind him are two young men, one tall, fat and lively, named Li Feng, and the other short, thin and dull, named Li Yi.

Then there was a girl with a ponytail named Li Mei. In addition, there is a middle-aged woman wearing blue cloth, who is Li Qian's wife.

Hearing the cry, Li Qian said happily: "Second brother and younger siblings are here. Come in quickly. You must be exhausted from the journey."

"Hello, Second Uncle. Did Second Uncle bring us something delicious to eat?" Li Feng's eyes rolled around as he looked at Li Kun, the tall man in brocade clothes, and said.

"Go, go, go, get out of here, you know how to eat, let your second uncle come in quickly."

"I brought it, of course I did. If I didn't bring food, how dare I come to see you, little brat? There's not only food but also things to play with. I'll pick it up later." As he said that, the big man in golden clothes ran to the carriage to get it. Something.

"Hello, second uncle." Li Yi called out nonchalantly. As for the youngest Li Mei, she also shouted and hid behind them, looking at Li Kun and others curiously.

"Okay, that's all okay. These are Xiao Yi and Xiao Mei. They've grown so big. Let's let my second uncle take a good look at them." Li Kun took something and said to the dull boy and the girl with roving eyes.

The young man in white robe who was riding the horse also got off the horse. After calling "uncle", he stood aside without saying a word, but there was a flash of arrogance and disdain in his eyes.

However, his expression did not show any trace of it. Instead, he greeted Li Yi and the others enthusiastically. But what he didn't know was that this subtle look was caught by Li Yi, who looked at them deeply.

After some warm greetings and a hearty meal, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. At this time, in a study deep in the courtyard, Li Qian and Li Kun were sitting opposite each other drinking tea.

Li Qian took a sip of tea, took a sip from his pipe, and said to the handsome man: "Second brother, what's the matter with you coming to my place this time? You didn't make it clear in your letter."

"Nothing really can be hidden from my brother's eyes. I came here this time to really ask for something." Li Kun stood up and said solemnly.

"Hey, you and I are brothers. We are all family members. If you need anything, as long as I can do it, just say it."

"I got news that several immortal cultivating sects are going to the secular world to recruit disciples, and the scale of recruiting disciples this time is quite large. As long as you have good qualifications in cultivating immortals, you can join the sect, so I want to take Haoran to give it a try, but I don’t know what Haoran’s qualifications are.

In addition, the rules for recruiting disciples are a little different this time. They held a conference to ascend to immortality. As long as we can come up with good treasures, even if we have poor qualifications, we can get started.

Therefore, I want to ask my elder brother to sell me the blood ginseng I cultivated and take it to the Ascension Conference. "The big man in brocade clothes finished speaking in one breath, then raised his head and looked at the man in rough clothes.

After listening to Li Kun's words, Li Qian's face became solemn. He took a strong puff of the dry pipe in his hand and drank another sip of tea in the bowl. He seemed to be thinking about something. Li Kun did not urge him, just quietly. of waiting.

After a while, Li Qian slowly said: "Second brother, you should know why I am a wild man in this small mountain village.

We were all disciples of Yaowang Villa back then. Later, the disciples of Yaowang Villa discovered a 700-800-year-old elixir and brought it back to the villa. However, the news leaked out, causing Yaowang Villa to be wiped out overnight by a mysterious man.

Our masters and brothers were all killed, and only we escaped because we were out on business. Later, it was said that it was an immortal cultivator who did it. A cultivator wiped out a sect overnight. The terror of cultivating immortals, It is simply not something that ordinary martial arts masters can resist.

I don’t recommend that you deal with them. You must know that immortal cultivators don’t take mortals seriously at all. Although my blood ginseng is not a spiritual herb that is seven or eight hundred years old, it has been cultivated for more than three hundred years. It is also a rare treasure for cultivators. "

"I know this, and I also understand what my elder brother is worried about. Later I also inquired about Yaowang Villa. It was done by an evil cultivator, and that evil cultivator was also killed by the cultivator behind Yaowang Villa. .

This time is different. I heard that the sects recruiting immortal cultivators are all well-known immortal cultivators in our Chu country. They are well-known and decent sects. They do not dare to kill people at will, and the treasure offerings are done in secret so that no news will leak out.

I also know that immortal cultivators are scary, so I eagerly want Haoran to become an immortal cultivator, to become an immortal cultivator of our Li family, and to make our Li family a family of immortal cultivators.

Otherwise, no matter how much wealth we have, it will be taken away by others in an instant.

I have been living in trepidation these years. Baiyuntang pays a large amount of tribute to the forces that have cultivators of immortality every year. This situation can only be improved if there are cultivators of immortality in our Li family. Please help me. "The big man in brocade clothes said excitedly.

After saying this, he bowed deeply.

Li Qian glanced at Li Kun, who was extremely excited, sighed and said, "Okay! I'll give you the blood ginseng.

However, I have a condition, which is to take Xiao Yi with me so that he can see the world and see if there is any chance of entering the Immortal Sect. "

After hearing this, Li Kun said in surprise: "That's great, thank you, brother."

Then, he said with some doubts: "Why is it Xiao Yi and not Xiao Feng? I think Xiao Feng is more clever. If he is chosen, he will definitely do well in the immortal sect."

"Xiao Feng's temper is out of control, and I'm worried that he will cause trouble. Although Xiao Yi is a little dull, he is not stupid, and his temper is calm, which makes him more suitable for cultivating immortals. Let him try it!" Li Qian said.
