Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Glorious West Qi, with towering mountains. I come with a sincere heart, seeking immortality and inquiring about the Dao! Gurgling sweet springs, with streams flowing across. I come with wine, to get drunk and rest!”

In the southeastern corner of the Qian Yuan Continent, there is a mountain range that is quite unique, named West Qi Mountain.

Unlike other tall and steep mountain peaks, this West Qi Mountain is neither tall nor towering, but rather like a lazy tortoise crawling on the ground.

Although the mountain peaks are not towering, there are patches of thick white clouds descending from the sky, decorating the mountain with misty clouds, like a fairyland on earth!

Moreover, what is even more miraculous is that every ten years, this West Qi Mountain will move ten zhang to the south, as if it wants to move all the way to the South Sea.

Such a strange situation naturally aroused a burst of surprise among the mortals here, so everyone determined that there must be gods living in this mountain, so they built temples and shrines on West Qi Mountain, burning incense and worshiping from afar, making this West Qi Mountain once a well-known holy place.

And throughout the year, the incense here is constant, the voices are boiling, and it is very lively!

If the most mysterious place in the entire West Qi Mountain is to be recommended, then the first thing to recommend is this back mountain, as if there is a strange force that divides West Qi Mountain into two, allowing everyone to freely pass through the front mountain, while the back mountain is forbidden to people and animals!

Whenever someone wants to break into this back mountain, they will be trapped in a mist. Although the mist is non-toxic and will not harm people's lives, after passing through the mist, everyone is surprised to find that their current location is actually tens of thousands of miles away from West Qi Mountain!

Turning their heads to look, behind them, where are the mist and West Qi Mountain? All that exists is the vast desert, or the endless sea!

Such a shocking situation made everyone no longer dare to easily seek death, and they were even more convinced that there must be gods with great magical powers living in the back mountain of West Qi Mountain.

So everyone set up many memorial archways at the location of the front mountain and the back mountain of West Qi Mountain, and tied them with red ropes to the stone pillars of the archways, in order to pray for the blessing of the gods.

Over time, these archways are covered with bright red ropes, looking from a distance, like a 'sea of fire'!

It can be said that this West Qi Mountain carries the most beautiful wishes of the mortals here, and it is the holy place in their hearts.

“Glorious West Qi, with towering mountains. I come with a sincere heart, seeking immortality and inquiring about the Dao! Gurgling sweet springs, with streams flowing across. I come with wine, to get drunk and rest!”

This is not, in the quiet mountains and forests, some woodcutters are singing this ancient ballad that has been passed down since who knows when.

The singing is loud and clear, echoing in the mountains and forests, shaking up a flock of birds...

......

“Humph, are these people ever going to stop? They have been singing this broken song for nearly a hundred years, and they are still not tired of singing it! My ears are getting calluses.”

On the most mysterious back mountain of West Qi Mountain, there stands a pair of huge stone pillars, and two children, about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing blue gowns, are guarding this place.

I saw that these two children were one fat and one thin, with gleams in their eyes, and they exuded a unique temperament, obviously not mortals, but cultivators!

It was the fatter child who complained just now.

“Shh, Junior Brother He, keep your voice down. If the master hears you, I'm afraid we will be punished again.” However, after hearing the fat child's complaint, the thin child next to him, who revealed a shrewd energy, seemed to be startled, and his sly eyes kept scanning around, as if he was afraid of something.

It was not until he checked around and finally confirmed that there was no third person besides them that he breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone seemed to fall in his heart.

“Hey, Senior Brother Wu, don't be so suspicious. No one comes to the fairy fruit forest we guard all year round. Who can find out if we complain here?” Looking at the thin child's frightened appearance, the fat child, who was called 'Junior Brother He', had a look of disdain, as if he had nothing to fear.

That's right, their current task is to guard this 'fairy fruit forest' behind them. In this fairy fruit forest, 1,800 kinds of rare fairy fruits are planted, and each fairy fruit has the effect of prolonging life and increasing cultivation.

It's just that there is a powerful formation guarding it. If it weren't for the token issued by the master, no one could enter, not even them!

It's just that when he thought of his current situation, the 'Junior Brother He' suddenly became angry and said angrily: "Humph, the master is too protective of these mortals.

We just stole a few watermelons from the field when we were greedy for fun, what's the big deal! As for punishing us to come to this godforsaken place, and staying here for three years! I think, the master is just old and confused!"

“Junior Brother He, will you die if you don't speak? Hurry up and shut your stinky mouth!” Seeing Junior Brother He's unbridled appearance, Senior Brother Wu was startled again and reprimanded angrily: “You should know that if the master hears this, let alone three years, I'm afraid we will be punished to stay here for the rest of our lives!

If you want to die, don't implicate me!"

“Hehe, Senior Brother Wu, are you embarrassed to teach me a lesson? Wasn't it you who proposed to steal watermelons in the first place! I was implicated by you that I have fallen to this point, you are really shameless!” However, after hearing Senior Brother Wu's lesson, Junior Brother He sneered suddenly, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

“Okay, okay, okay, I'm sorry for you, Senior Brother. But Junior Brother He, I beg you, don't say it anymore, okay? I don't want to be punished by the master again.” Knowing that he was in the wrong, Senior Brother Wu's tone suddenly softened a lot, begging bitterly.

After hearing this, Junior Brother He's face calmed down, and he sneered: "Senior Brother Wu, you are too timid, there is no one else here except us, even if I scold ten or a hundred sentences here, the master can't hear it!

What can he do to me?"

After saying that, Junior Brother He showed a look of disdain, cleared his throat, and pretended to continue scolding!

“Okay, you two are hiding here and insulting the master, this is the number one crime of our Gan Quan Palace, you are dead!”

However, at this moment, a loud voice suddenly exploded from behind the two of them, with a cold tone, full of teasing!
