Fate is immortal

This night, with the cold moon and clear wind, the man was alone and haggard.A Yuan, with his legs crossed in front of the cabin, looked a little colder than the moonlight...

Many days of hard training, day and night but still nothing, exhaustion and loss are gradually accumulating and fermenting, A Yuan is now forced to meditate for a while, the soreness in his legs makes him irritable, and he wants to jump up and slash with a knife, let alone calm down up.After barely tossing for half an hour, A Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up and cursed a few times, and then lay down on the ground in frustration.

Although it is a beautiful day, but you don't sleep in the middle of the night, you are outside shirtless and blowing the cool wind, what are you trying to do?

The bright moon is in the sky, and the pure moonlight shines through the vast water mist, covering the head like a transparent light gauze.The trees are full of flowers, and the faint clear water is shimmering with sparkling light. Under the cover of lake light and mist, the cabin on an isolated island becomes more mysterious and quiet.

This is the treasure land given to A Yuan by the gods, his cave, and the starting point of his journey to immortality.Could it be that this place will also become the end point?Like Grandpa Wan, he will become an ordinary hunter after killing his innocence and dreams. Will he die like this?

Although he knew that the road to cultivating immortals is like climbing the clouds and icy peaks, which is extremely difficult and dangerous, but A Yuan has always been looking forward to it, and even firmly believes that he will achieve something within a year or two.He also wants to go to the rivers and lakes, travel around the world, and create legends that will be admired by future generations.If this immortal technique really takes decades to practice, and when he becomes a bearded uncle or even a gray-haired old man, what kind of world is he going to do?What's the fun in flying up in the daylight?

Dreams, reality, and the past flashed through A Yuan's mind one by one, and finally stopped at the scene where he and Qing'er looked at each other silently.Recalling the promise he had sworn at the beginning, recalling the wonderful feeling at the moment when the two palms touched, A Yuan couldn't help but sighed deeply.

He silently took out the treasured kit from his bosom and stuck it on his chest. The faint fragrance finally overcame the bitterness in his heart and slowly brought him to sleep...

After an unknown amount of time, A Yuan suddenly shivered and woke up in a daze.It seems that the body has noticed something strange, but the mind is still groggy.A Yuan stretched halfway with deep tiredness, and was about to turn over and go back to sleep, but suddenly his eyes widened and he froze there like a statue.

At some point in front of my eyes, a small grass grew out of thin air. It was born at the junction of the lake and the shore, half stuck in the soil and half submerged in the water.

Undoubtedly, this is definitely not duckweed that floats with the waves, and it is not even an ordinary thing at all, because it is growing rapidly under A Yuan's eyes, as if A Yuan's suspicious gaze is its best nourishment.

In a blink of an eye, this strange grass grew from more than one finger to knee height, and five green onion-like young leaves were slowly pulled out, and the buds on the tip also slowly raised their heads like a shy girl, forming a flower. bud.

The buds swelled slowly, a bright red flashed in front of my eyes, and suddenly burst into bloom with a "bang".The fiery red filaments are inextricably linked, like gorgeous summer fireworks, like the hair of a coquettish beauty.

As soon as the umbrella-like corolla opened, before Ah Yuan could marvel at its beauty, the five leaves quickly turned yellow and fell off, and the rhizomes withered like withered grass in late autumn.In the blooming stamen, just after a fruit was born, it lost the support of the rhizome, and fell between the water banks with the wind, and melted away like foam.

Everything is only in an instant, as if time is pouring over the embankment at this moment.In the blink of an eye, A Yuan hurriedly took a step forward, stretched out his hand to scoop it up, but only picked up a green fruit.

The round fruit is only the size of a fingernail, but A Yuan's hands are trembling non-stop.Could it be that this dream-like adventure is God looking after me who is dedicated to seeking the Tao?Could this strange fruit be the elixir he had dreamed of?A Yuan didn't hesitate at all, raised his head and swallowed it into his stomach in one gulp.

This "fairy fruit" is really extraordinary, it melts in the mouth, and the refreshing sweetness makes A Yuan almost jump up.You can taste it carefully, the sweetness fades away quickly, and you just feel tasteless and tasteless.When the celestial fruit is gone and you can only savor it, it seems to be full of flavors, with a hint of sweetness in the salty, bitter and spicy taste.

Reminiscing about that wonderful taste, A Yuan was suddenly in a trance.The fog on the lake became thicker, and suddenly a cool breeze blew, the vegetation creaked, and a vague shadow loomed in front of the cabin.

A Yuan rubbed his eyes vigorously, but the shadow neither became clear nor disappeared.It seemed to be a person, strolling in the garden, slowly walking towards him while admiring the surrounding lake and moonlight.

The figure came closer and finally became clear.It was a white-haired old man, his face was covered with deep wrinkles, but he was as rosy as a baby.He was dressed in a spotless white robe, and his whole body was shrouded in a faint mist. Although his back was slightly bent, he felt as calm as a mountain.

The old man took a deep look at A Yuan, and asked kindly, "Son, what's your name?"

A Yuan was taken aback. The series of adventures tonight made him too imaginative to handle. He just replied honestly: "My name is A Yuan. May I ask the old man?"

"A Yuan?" The old man nodded, seemed very interested in the name, whispered it a few times, looked at him with a smile, and said slowly: "A Yuan, I have been waiting for you..."

A Yuan was shocked, the blood in his whole body almost froze at that moment, and he blurted out: "Could it be that you are that old fairy——?!"

"Old Immortal?" The old man raised his white eyebrows, and suddenly showed a childlike expression. With a wave of his long sleeves, a gust of wind rose from the ground, like a wind god opening his pocket, blowing countless plants, trees, earth and rocks up from the ground, as if the earth was A blanket, and a man of God grabbed the four corners and shook it violently.A Yuan couldn't stand still, and was about to be blown into the sky, but the wind stopped suddenly, and the vegetation, earth and rocks in the sky fell like raindrops, but they landed lightly, without any sound, and everything around them returned to normal in a blink of an eye. lost its original appearance.

A Yuan opened his mouth wide open, as if he wanted to swallow everything he saw in one gulp.He had already imagined countless times the scene of meeting a fairy and worshiping a teacher—under the sky and white clouds, beside a towering ancient tree, the old fairy with white beard and hair smiled kindly, leaning on a green wooden crutch in one hand, and knelt and kowtowed with the other. He took out the nine volumes of the Dunjia Heavenly Book from his bosom as a gift...

Although it was different from what he had imagined, but now that the immortal is right in front of him, A Yuan didn't hesitate at all, so he hurriedly stepped forward and fell to his knees with a plop, shouting, "I have finally found you, Immortal! I have finally found you!" Already! You, you take me as your disciple! I am willing to abandon the mundane world from now on, and follow you to practice immortality wholeheartedly!"

A strange smile appeared on the wrinkled face of the old fairy, and with a slight flick of his long sleeves, A Yuan felt a gust of breeze, and stood up immediately.I just heard the old fairy ask: "Ah Yuan, tell me first, why do you want to learn the magic of immortality?"

"Why do you want to learn the method of immortality?" A Yuan was taken aback, he had rehearsed this scene countless times, and thought that no matter what the immortal asked, he could answer fluently.Even his own life experience, which he himself didn't know, has already compiled a moving version that makes the listener sad and cry.It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. I never thought that the old fairy would ask such a stupid question like an ignorant girl like Qing'er.For him, cultivating immortality has always been a dream, as if it is a matter of course, more natural than eating and sleeping, so what reason is needed?

How should I answer?Do you want to avenge your parents because you bear blood and deep hatred?Or do you want to do good to the world and benefit the common people?The stories flashed by quickly, but at the critical moment, A Yuan's mind was not as bright as before.He hesitated for a moment, and finally answered honestly: "The disciple wants to learn the immortal method, because he wants to fly..."

"Fly?..." The old fairy's eyes flashed, as if he was quite surprised by the answer, only to hear A Yuan continue: "I have longed for the fairy to fly in the sky with the sword and the wind, so..."

"If you just want to fly, why do you need to learn fairy arts? There are many ways to fly in this world, and the easiest way is to make a big kite on your back and jump from a high place. Isn't it easy?" How much?" The old fairy's expression at this time was quite like a grandfather teasing his ignorant grandson.

A Yuan replied honestly: "That's very different. I tried the kite too, but I couldn't fly very high or far, and almost broke my bones. But after I learned the magic method, I can fly a kite anytime, anywhere." Fly, fly as high as you want, fly as far as you want..."

"Do whatever you want, without restraint..." The old immortal sighed softly, nodded and said, "People in this world cultivate immortality, either for longevity, or for magic power, or for climbing the clouds, or for looking down on all living beings. But you It is to jump out of the cage of the world, break free from the shackles, and fly freely between the heaven and the earth. Your original heart is close to the Tao, rare, rare..."

A Yuan spoke the truth in a ignorant manner, and was so praised by the immortal. His heart felt like a flower had bloomed, and he was about to hit the iron while it was hot, but when he heard the strange peak protruding from the old immortal, he asked, "A Yuan, how old are you?"

This old fairy is really weird. Just now he asked a Qinger-like question, and now he asked the same question as Grandpa Wan. A Yuan muttered in his heart, but on the surface he replied respectfully: "The disciple just turned fourteen this year."

The old fairy's expression at this time was also quite similar to that of Grandpa Wan. He shook his head and sighed in self-loathing: "Almost, it's time."

"Then, old fairy, have you accepted me? My disciple pays homage..."

"A Yuan, do you know the origin of that strange grass just now?"

The old fairy's deep and melodious voice came, and A Yuan, who was about to kowtow to worship his master, was full of enthusiasm, and when he heard the word "exotic grass", he was like a pot of cold water being poured from his head, and he knelt and froze there, his heart beating.

Could it be that the old fairy came for that fairy grass?Cough, maybe they planted it with their own hands!Just now I had a good bite, but now something is wrong.If the old immortal blamed him, let alone the immortal law, it would be good if he didn't impose immortal punishment.

"The disciple is foolish and reckless, please ask the old fairy to show me." A Yuan was also clever, and immediately pretended to be stupid, and bowed to him, respectfully admitting that he was "foolish and reckless", which was a first step.A majestic immortal can't be in trouble with a reckless and ignorant kid, right?

"It's a legendary herb named Mengzhu. It was transformed by the mysteries of heaven and earth. It has no roots and no source. It took a thousand years to conceive a plant, but it only bloomed in an instant. Even immortals rarely know about it. , mortals are hard to find in the eternity..."

"Disciple's recklessness, death penalty, death penalty!"

A Yuan's tragic performance fell in the eyes of the old fairy, but he only shook his head and smiled, "Even if you wait for a thousand years, in the end, you will miss a moment at night. And you eat the fruit of Mengzhu, which is your fate, I How can I blame you?..."

The old fairy paused, his eyes flashed, and countless images flashed like floating lights, as if he had read the time of thousands of years in an instant, and said solemnly: "A Yuan, you have a destiny with the immortal way, even if you have great wisdom and supernatural power, An unbreakable fate."

A Yuan didn't hear the faint desolation and desolation in the old man's words, but when he heard that he was destined to be with the immortal family, he was immersed in inexplicable ecstasy, and said like a cannonball: "Since the disciple is destined to be immortal, please invite the old man." Immortals don’t despise this disciple’s stupidity, let’s put him in the gate wall! This disciple must devote himself to cultivation, and in the future, the sect will shine brightly…”

The old immortal smiled dumbly, and said: "Silly boy, since you have already eaten the reality of Mengzhu, why do you need to learn any fairy arts, you can understand it by yourself."

A Yuan was taken aback for a moment, seven points puzzled and three points secretly happy.According to what the old fairy said, the reality of Mengzhu seems to be extraordinary. Could it be that after eating it, one can realize the magic of immortality and ascend in the daytime?A Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart, and still retreated to advance, "The disciple is ignorant, please ask the immortal to clarify."

The old fairy said leisurely: "The reality of Mengzhu is a rare thing in heaven and earth, and it is hard for immortals to find. It is said that as long as you eat it, creatures without dreams can have dreams, and those who have dreams can make their dreams come true..."

"Dreams come true? Doesn't that mean...?" A Yuan was almost suffocated for a moment, no one knew what his dream was better than him.

"A Yuan, how about I take you to see your dream?" The old fairy smiled slightly, and stretched out a wrinkled, but ruddy and crystal clear hand.

A Yuan smiled heartily, stepped forward quickly, and held it tightly.
