I am immortal

"Haha, this is Helian Mountain. Little brother, I will only send you here. I have to deliver these things to the town ahead, so I won't go in. Hahaha, if there is a chance in the future, you If you ride in my donkey cart again, I won’t charge you any coins!”

"gone!"

The man driving the donkey cart laughed a few times, then waved his whip, and the donkey brayed a few times, sped up a little, and then had to hurry up before the sun set. The desolate trumpet sounded, and the young Taoist watched this scene. The person I met by chance on the road left, and I just looked at the town where I had lived for many years.

Helian Mountain in the distance is still the same as before, not much different from when he left.

The young Taoist took a few steps, but suddenly stopped.

He looked at the Taoist robes he was wearing and the little peacock that was quite eye-catching at first glance.

After thinking about it, in order to avoid trouble, I swept my sleeves and robes, and my own Qi was transformed into Ancestral Qi. With a sudden change, the plain Taoist robe on my body turned into the simple clothes I often wore in those days, and the wooden hairpin turned into an ordinary tree branch. He stepped slightly again, the shoes on his feet were the same as before, and he raised his hand to induce the transformation of Zu Qi, hiding the little peacock tail feathers that had just been hidden in his sleeves and robes, which were as bright as gold.

It looks like a three-yellow chicken cub.

The little peacock Qi Yuntun was curious: "Hey!!! What are you doing, Qi Qi?"

The young Taoist said: "Save yourself some trouble."

"Aqi, do you care about this?"

"Whatever clothes you wear, it's me. But when you go to a country, you have to follow the local customs. I think these clothes will make others feel alienated, so it's better to wear the same clothes as before."

The little peacock didn't care.

Anyway, he was wearing silk and satin, his robes were still plain, and he was still wearing the same brown shorts.

Qi Wuzhuo was still Qi Wuzhuo.

He just swung his tail feathers curiously, but it seemed to be really gone. However, he felt that if he used his Qi, he could break through the young Taoist's transformation technique. However, Qi Wuhuo suddenly felt that his sleeves His robe was pulled, he lowered his head, and saw Xiao Yaoling's face full of envy. He pointed at the little wonton, then pointed at himself, and said something babbling.

"You want to change too?"

The young Taoist laughed dumbly, so he used the method of Qi, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, to turn the unresisting little medicine spirit into a small chick with a light yellow appearance. The two little guys sat side by side on the shoulders of the young Taoist, just one There are long feathers on the top of the head that flutter in the wind, and there are tree branches and leaves hidden under one wing to distinguish them.

"Okay, go home."

Qi Wuhuo walked back to the town, still feeling a little nostalgic in his heart. The roads, these houses, and the air under the mountain seemed to be the same as before. Nothing had changed during the time he left. The man in thick clothes walked towards him. Watchman, it's not time to work now. I went to drink some strong drinks and was thinking about what I'm going to say today.

The young man naturally said hello and asked if it was early to drink today. When the watchman saw the young man, he subconsciously replied: "Of course, there is nothing to do today. It's my turn to rest. The old wine shop has opened a jar of new wine. Of course I want to drink some and try it.”

"The boy doesn't understand the taste of alcohol, haha, just wait until you are older."

The watchman subconsciously retorted, and after walking more than a dozen steps, he suddenly realized what he was doing, turned his head sharply, and shouted:

"Qi Wuhuo?!"

"You're back?"

"You kid, didn't you die outside?!"

The young Taoist had already walked away. The watchman saw him waving his hands with his back to him, and then replied with a smile: "Good luck, I'm back." The watchman murmured a few words, and then he couldn't help himself. Knowing why, he laughed, but when he spoke, he still sounded so unpleasant, saying: "It's not easy to get around outside, isn't it?!"

"Just come back. There's nothing you can eat from this mountain and down here."

"Just stay at home, don't go out for a walk if you have nothing else to do,"

I walked all the way home and cut two taels of pig head meat, which was very satisfying.

The mother-in-law widened her eyes and said with dissatisfaction: "Didn't you just say drink a little wine?"

"Is this a little bit?"

The watchman smiled and said: "Hey, don't talk about this, do you know who I saw today?"

"Who is it? Old Wang's aunt is hooking up with Old Li again?"

"What's wrong?"

The watchman smiled and said, "I saw Qi Wuhuo coming back."

The watchman's wife was surprised and said, "You're back?"

"Yeah, haha, drink some."

"He's back, what does he do to you?"

"Because he didn't do anything to me, I just felt that this kid suddenly disappeared and didn't die outside. It's great. I can't explain why. I feel good."

Qi Wuhuo walked all the way to the edge of the town. His small house was still there, and the lock on the fence outside the yard was still there. The plum blossoms transformed by the teacher withered early this year, and they fell to the ground, covering the entire courtyard. , the young Taoist took out his key from inside the sleeve robe, inserted it into the keyhole, and with a faint sound, the lock opened. The young man lifted the chain, received the pile of stones next to it, and then opened the door. .

When the door was pushed open, there was a slight gust of wind.

Then the plum blossoms fell all over the ground in the courtyard and were swept up, filling the young Taoist's temples and eyebrows. His sleeves and robes were slightly raised. The little peacock couldn't help but fall from the young man's shoulders, spread its wings and slide around. The little Yaoling was babbling anxiously. Yeah, it means I haven’t sat on it yet! But suddenly I realized that I had been turned into a little bird, so I tried to flap my wings.

Then plant it directly into the ground.

Spin around.

It fell into the young Taoist's palm.

Sitting there in a daze, his wings raised and pressed against his head, his eyes were in a trance.

The young man laughed and said, "I'm back."

He walked in and opened the door. There was some dust in the room, but other than that, it was not much different from when he was still there. It was just that the bedding was a little damp. The little peacock flew in and looked around. He said, "Huh? Aqi, Aqi, did you live here before?"

"Narrow, dark, and damp."

"It's much smaller than the Lianyang Temple."

The young man smiled and said, "Really? I think it's good."

He walked to the window, opened it, and saw the mountains in the distance and the blue sky. Then the room was filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms and said, "Isn't this enough?" Little Peacock and Little Yaoling Sitting on his shoulder, looking at Helian Mountain, the young Taoist felt peaceful and warm, and did not feel that there was anything wrong with his house.

The news of Qi Wuhuo's return quickly spread around the area.

After all, it is the most remote and ordinary place in the town. Soon, people came to the turnstile to join in the fun and see how this young man was doing. They were mainly curious about where he had been for more than a year and why he disappeared without saying a word. Understand? Why did you suddenly come back?

"Oh, it turns out I went out to see the world."

"Have you made any money in the past year? Not at all."

"Hey, it's nothing. It's a good thing for young people to see the world and not make money. I went to the market this morning to buy some vegetables. You just came back. I guess there is nothing at home. This is a good thing. In the city But it’s more expensive than this, a pound a pound, and it’s not that fresh, and it’s all made with medicine.”

"Speaking of which, where did you buy these little chickens? Madam, I also want to raise some chickens to lay eggs."

“I haven’t seen many for sale.”

People come here to sit and satisfy their curiosity, and then leave a little something behind.

I like to tell young people what to do.

But I also naturally felt that you just came back and couldn’t even turn on the stove. It was normal for me to order food for you, which would be enough for you to eat for three to five meals. So the young Taoist priest had several extra Chinese cabbages in his room, including pickled vegetables. A jar of pickles, a little salt, a small bowl of oil, a small bag of rice, and three eggs were all enough for him to eat for seven or eight days.

The aunt just now took Qi Wonton in her hand and kneaded it over and over. She said that the chicken was not fat enough, so she just took the vegetable leaves and millet and fed it to her. For the first time, the little Wonton felt that she actually didn’t like eating that much. Yao Ling watched it laugh, but he couldn't escape either.

"Is this a human being? How strange."

"People are very strange." The young man laughed.

His soul knew that these people who were living ordinary lives were only curious about him and had some goodwill toward their neighbors when they came back. However, some rich and wealthy families seemed to be a little frightened and nervous because of his return, but not many. , the young people could 'hear' their words, saying that they disappeared for more than a year and came back still dressed in rags. It seems that they have an old relationship with the mountain god, which is just a matter of rumors.

The little peacock widened his eyes and said, "Aqi Aqi, do you recognize the mountain god?"

"Um."

"Actually, you recognize it too."

"Huh?? Do I recognize it?"

The little peacock swallowed his doubts, and the young man laughed, washing rice, cooking, cooking, rice, bacon, stir-fried cabbage, added more fat, and a bunch of pickled cucumbers, which tasted very good.

Cleaning up the house and dusting it off, it’s like the passing years never existed.

Until he recovered at home, as if he had never left, the young man took steps, picked up the backpack next to him, and walked in the direction of Helian Mountain. People next to him would greet him and ask him why he was so diligent. When they went to the mountains to chop firewood, the young Taoist said yes, they had just come back, so they smiled and asked the young Taoist to bring the firewood later and we would order some.

The young man smiled and agreed.

The mountain road is familiar. I haven't walked it in a year, and it doesn't feel strange at all.

Following the breath, he walked forward, picked some fruits, and put the fallen firewood in the basket on his back. He stopped by to see the herbs he had planted. However, Qi Wuhuo went over and found that the herbs he had planted were The place was empty, which made me slightly surprised.

"there is none left?"

I searched several places again, but still nothing.

These were the only gifts sent by Tao Taigong and other places around him when he became a mountain god.

The young Taoist planted these spiritual herbs on Helian Mountain in the hope that the vitality of the entire mountain would become better, but unexpectedly they disappeared. Did someone collecting herbs discover it? Or should I say... Qi Wuhuo raised his hand to draw Qi, and wherever his mind moved, he found a familiar breath.

It's that little deer spirit.

Xiaoluling sighed.

Above his head was Xiao Huang Jing, who was also holding his chin in his hands and sighed.

"Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"That's right……"

"Damn it, that big black guy, we thought he was really a guest, but we didn't expect that he actually stayed in the Mountain God's Mansion in Helian Mountain these days and refused to come out. Tao Taigong even tried to argue with him but couldn't do it... …”

The two little guys thought of that guy and sighed together.

They all said in unison: "Why hasn't he come back yet?"

A gentle laughter was heard in my ears: "Who is coming back?"

Xiao Luling's ears twitched and his eyes widened, as did Xiao Huang Jing. He climbed up and said, "Hey!" The two little guys turned their heads and saw a young Taoist sitting in the forest. , black hair tied with branches, with a smile on his lips, wearing a brown shorts, a blue coarse cloth tied around his waist, hanging down from one side, his eyes gentle.

"!!!Mountain God?!"

"Woooooooooo, you're finally back!"

Xiao Huang Jing took a running start and then flew towards the young Taoist.

Finally, Qi Yuntun hugged him in the air and threw him down.

"Who? Can you eat it?"

The little peacock looked at the young Taoist.

The young Taoist shook his head and then let go. On the contrary, the little medicine spirit's eyes widened. It was extremely difficult to channel plants and trees. Maybe he would not meet another medicine spirit from channeling to death. He suddenly became happy and pointed at the medicine spirit. Xiao Huangjing pointed at herself again, babbling, with a happy face.

Xiaoluling, of course, the little guy who thought he was an old deer came over, but he was very polite and said: "Mountain God."

Very solemn and mature.

reliable!

The short tail swings at super high speed.

It's going to be an afterimage.

They were all obviously happy and asked the young Taoist where he had gone. He just came back today. The young Taoist answered one by one. He sat on the bluestone under the tree, Xiao Huang Jing and Xiao Yao Ling sat on his knees, and there was a small peacock on his shoulder. He stretched out his hand and stroked Xiao Luling's head and said: "You just said, which one is bigger?" Black guy?"

At this time, the two little guys were angry and said:

"Yes, it's him!"

"bad guy!"

"Robbing the mountain god's home."

"Huh? Speak slowly..."

The young Taoist's voice naturally contained a trace of the Buddhist Shi Wuwei Seal, which made the two little guys calm down and slowly narrated. Only then did they understand what happened, but it was some time ago, during the Zhongzhou disaster. At that time, Earth Spirit lost a lot, and Earth Spirit's personality, at least three to five hundred years of life, may be the method of cultivating Earth Meridians.

Naturally, he was being stared at.

Then a big black bear came to Zhongzhou, claiming to have brought a letter from the former mountain god Tiger. He did not dare to go to the central area that was greatly affected by this disaster, and came to this remote place that was not affected much. At first, he helped fight away some of the demons that had come here. The spirits in the mountains all considered them friends and treated him warmly.

But slowly, this guy showed his lazy nature and took a lot of elixirs.

He ran to occupy the mountain god's place again, and found a lot of spirits and monsters from nowhere. He said that the mountain god never showed up, and he never took action on such a big thing as the Zhongzhou catastrophe. If he was timid, he might as well just leave the mountain god. Leave it to him to protect the creatures of this mountain, provide you with good food and drink, and be the master and ancestor.

When talking about this place, Xiao Huang Jing was very angry. She looked at the young Taoist and said: "Mountain God, you must have helped solve it. That Zhongzhou catastrophe didn't run away like he said!" It said to the young man. The Taoist had a lot of trust. When he saw the young man nodding, he became happy and said, "Tao Taigong wanted to ask him to move out, but he refused."

"Tai Gong said he has such a powerful bloodline that he can fight with real people."

"That's right..."

The young Taoist did not expect that after he solved the disaster in Zhongzhou, someone would see him not in the mountain and come here to take over the mountain. Judging from his words and deeds, it seemed that he was not a character worthy of being entrusted with the status of a mountain god. However, Tao Taigong and others If he didn't contact me through the Xuantan method, the matter shouldn't be serious.

The young Taoist felt guilty.

I felt that as a mountain god, I could not fulfill the responsibilities of a mountain god, so I firmly decided to pass on this seal.

But he also thought that if the person of the mountain god was spread, even if others obtained this mark, it would only be an innate talent.

It may not be better than Tao Taigong.

Tao Taigong also said it was tricky. It seemed that this guy was indeed extraordinary.

From this point of view, there is a demon who wants to take advantage of Lingmiao Gong's lack of time to take advantage of the land, but he just happened to choose Helian Mountain. He feels that without the mountain god, there will be less resistance to the dove's occupation of the magpie's nest. The young man After thinking about it, I felt that I should just resolve this matter before leaving.

If he had come back earlier, handed over the mark to others and left, He Lianshan would still be oppressed.

It's just the right time to come back.

He stood up and said, "Let's go, take me to see you."

"Eh?"

"He said he has a letter and I'll go take a look."

"Also, when guests come, we welcome them. Bad guests like this will be kicked out."

……………………

In the past, there were mostly monsters on the platform where Tiger Mountain Monarch made alchemy and gave lectures. Although they did not devour blood and practice, they all looked ferocious. Their appearance was different from the monsters in the mountains in the past. The leader was a rather strong man. Sitting there, wearing a cassock and short black hair, he drank tea quite calmly.

All the demons praised its magic power and said: "The Venerable Master once heard the Dharma in the South China Sea, but later left and practiced it in the demon country."

"Ordinary real people are no match."

"Now I have abandoned the Buddha to seek the Tao. I have come to this mountain to find a place where I can just follow my feet and cultivate a free and easy life."

"It's also a very good thing!"

The black bear laughed and said: "That's how it should be. This Helian Mountain is good, it's just the right place for me." While he was smiling and feeling proud, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and a clear sound came slowly from bottom to top. , the voice seemed to have a mysterious flavor, which calmed the minds of these demons, making them all listen quietly and subconsciously:

"Watching the chess players playing, felling the wood, walking slowly at the valley entrance by the clouds, selling firewood to make tea, and playing the harp to express my love. The autumn sky is high in the sky, I sleep on the pine roots against the moon, and I sleep at dawn. Recognize the old forest, climb the cliffs and cross the ridges, hold the ax to break Withered vine.”

"Collect it into a load of Xingge and put it on the market, which is worth three liters of rice."

"There is no competition among others, the price is average, there is no scheming, there is no honor or disgrace, and life is indifferent."

The voice was gentle, and the demons saw a person, wearing brown clothes and carrying a basket on his back. On one side was the little deer spirit, with birds on his shoulders, and a gentle expression. He seemed to be an ordinary young man chopping firewood, but how could an ordinary young man come here? , how to see the appearance of these monsters without changing color? The person transformed by the black bear stood up three meters, looked at it with a pair of eyes, and chanted:

"He was originally a monastic."

"Young man, this place is the dojo of my Helian Mountain God. I don't know why you are here?"

The group of monsters all raised their voices and shouted, making it noisy and harsh.

The young man smiled and replied:

"Pindao, Helian Mountain God, Qi Wuhuo."

Then the group of demons suddenly became quiet.
