Cultivating immortality is going against the grain

Huh? Where is this place? Am I dead?

Hui Dabao slowly opened his eyes and found that he was still in the cabin. He felt happy and hurriedly got up and touched his body again and again until he was sure that he was still alive. He jumped down from the bed excitedly and felt that his whole body was full of strength. There was no feeling of weakness at all, and he thought to himself: It seems that he was not seriously poisoned, and his body recovered on its own.

Hui Dabao was no longer sleepy and happily ran to the deck. At this time, the sky was already bright, the fog on the water slowly dissipated, and the scenery on the shore became clearer. Suddenly, Hui Dabao saw a row of tall buildings on the shore. The buildings are hung with red lanterns and flags of various colors.

Looking further, rows of streets are paved towards the mountains...

Hui Dabao was full of doubts, which city is this?

No one answered his confusion, and soon the ship docked.

"Yangyun Mountain has arrived, all disciples, please come ashore quickly!"

As a loud sound rang out, people on the boat came down to the shore in an endless stream.

This is Yangyun Mountain!

Hui Dabao was shocked and hurriedly followed everyone down to the dock.

On the pier, there is an endless stream of merchants, boatmen, and porters...

Hui Dabao stood on the shore, a little confused. Originally, he followed Luo Xueer on the boat. After arriving at Yangyun Mountain, he followed Luo Xueer. However, because Luo Xueer suddenly got injured and left, he is now a little confused. At a loss.

At this time, a fat, white man came straight towards him and said with a smile, "Senior brother, please take a look at your jade plaque!"

Hui Dabao said in confusion, "Jade token? What jade token?"

The fat man said, "It's a token of Yang Yunshan's disciples. It's given to you before boarding the ship. Senior brother, you see, it's that kind of jade token..."

The fat man pointed his finger, waved his head and looked around. Not far away, a very young boy was holding a jade sign in his hand and talking to a man wearing the same clothes as the fat man! "

Hui Dabao looked at the jade token and felt it was very familiar. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. He remembered that the jade token in the young man's hand was very similar to the jade token he picked up at the Tongjin Commander's Mansion...

Could it be that what I picked up that day was a token of Yangyun Mountain’s disciples?

Hui Dabao held back and asked, "Brother, what is this jade token... used for?"

The fat man said, "Haha... This senior brother doesn't seem to know much about the treasures of true cultivation. This jade token is not a mortal thing. It can not only provide spiritual power to people during cultivation, but can also sense people and store some consciousness. , is a very precious treasure, as long as you are a disciple of Yangyun Mountain, you will get a jade tablet!"

Hui Dabao secretly exclaimed, the world of cultivation is indeed different from the ordinary world, there is such an unheard of strange thing!

The fat man continued, "Senior brother, don't be surprised. The villain's name is Ke Sheng, and he is the mountain guard of Yangyun Mountain. I have no other intention. I just want to look at the jade plaque and know the identity of senior brother so that I can guide you!"

Hui Dabao said awkwardly, "Brother Ke, I'm sorry...I...I don't have a jade card!"

The fat man looked surprised and said, "Senior brother... aren't you a new disciple of Yangyun Mountain?"

Hui Dabao said, "I did not attend the Immortal Sect Conference...so I can only come to Yangyun Mountain...and then go to become a disciple..."

Ke Sheng nodded and said, "So that's it. Brother, if you want to become a disciple, you must first go to the Foreign Affairs Hall at Zhangshi Peak, where there are elders who test talents!"

Hui Dabao said happily, "Thank you, Brother Ke, for your advice!"

Ke Sheng said, "You're welcome, little brother. I have to receive new disciples, so I can't accompany you any longer. If you want to go to the Foreign Affairs Hall, just go straight along this road. You'll be there soon!"

"Thank you, Brother Ke!"

After waving a big treasure to salute Ke Sheng and thank him, he rushed towards the Foreign Affairs Hall.

Along the way, Hui Dabao saw shops lined with shops on both sides of the street and an endless stream of pedestrians. It seemed more prosperous than Yueyang City.

Not long after, Hui Dabao came to the front of the main hall. A plaque with the name "Foreign Affairs Hall" hung high on the front of the hall. Hui Dabao was delighted and hurriedly entered the hall.

As soon as they entered the hall, they saw two people sitting next to the door. One was about fifty years old, as skinny as a monkey, with a long goatee, which gave people a particularly wretched feeling. The other was a bald man, about 27 years old. [-], looks very fierce.

Hui Dabao said quickly, "Excuse me, I'm here to become a disciple of Yang Yunshan. What should I do?"

Goatee immediately stood up and said with a smile on his face, "Little brother, you are here to become a disciple. Please come with me, and I will take you to see Elder Liang!"

"Thank you uncle!"

Waving Dabao and following the goatee, he walked into the hall.

Not long after, Goatee stopped in front of the door of a house with Hui Dabao. Goatee shouted into the house, "Report to Master Liang Meng that someone is apprenticed!"

I heard someone inside the house say, "Bring him in!"

Hui Dabao followed the goatee into the house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw an old man wearing a long robe and a red face sitting on the Grand Master's chair. The old man glanced at Hui Dabao, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said, "That's what you want." Become a disciple of Yangyun Mountain, why don’t you go to the Immortal Sect Conference and go to such trouble to come all the way to the Foreign Affairs Hall to become a disciple?”

Hui Dabao said respectfully, "Elder Liang, that's because I happened to be sick a few days ago and missed the Immortal Sect Conference!"

"Um…"

The old man nodded, pointed to the jade Ruyi placed on the table and said, "Test it. If your talent reaches three colors, Yangyun Mountain will accept you!"

"Yes!"

Hui Dabao lowered his head and looked at the jade Ruyi on the table. Before, he had seen what a talent test was at the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion. He knew that it was definitely not an ordinary jade. He felt very calm and slowly raised his hand without any hesitation. Pressed on the spirit stone...

The moment his hand touched the spiritual stone, Hui Dabao felt a wave of emotion in his heart, and secretly prayed: God bless me, Hui Dabao will definitely be able to practice the immortal way, I want revenge!

However, within a short time, Hui Dabao's heart fell to the bottom...

There is no response from the colorful spiritual stones...

how so? I can't practice...the immortal way!

Hui Dabao's body seemed to be frozen, without any feeling...

Master Liang Meng sighed and said, "Okay, you can take your hand off. You are a rotten body, have no spiritual veins, and cannot practice immortality. Please come back!"

Hui Dabao fell to his knees with a thud and said excitedly, "Elder Liang... Hui Dabao is devoted to seeking the Tao. I also ask the elder for advice. Is there any other way... to practice Tao?"

Master Liang Meng said calmly, "Boy, get up. I've seen this kind of thing happen to you a lot, and there's nothing I can do about it. God's will is like this, so why should I keep thinking about it? It's not a bad thing to be an ordinary person..."

"Boy, stop kneeling here and wasting Elder Liang's time. Follow me out quickly!"

Goatee urged.

Hui Dabao wanted to plead a few words, but Master Liang Meng had already closed his eyes to rest, and he had no choice but to get up and follow Goatee out.

When we went outside, the sun was shining brightly, but Hui Dabao felt cold all over...

Why does fate treat me like this? Heaven and earth are unkind, heaven and earth are unkind!

Unknowingly, Hui Dabao's eyes were wet, and his tears were filled with unwillingness and helplessness...

At this time, Goatee suddenly said, "Little brother, don't be sad. You can't cultivate immortality. Just go home and live a good life. Eat what you should eat and drink what you should drink. You can still live your life. Besides, fine wine, Pai Gow, women, etc. It’s not as interesting as cultivating immortals, but finding a few more women... Hehe... my life will be just as carefree!"

Hui Dabao wiped his tears and said, "Thank you uncle for your kindness. Dabao will definitely forget about practicing Taoism soon and go back to live a good life!"

Goatee smiled and said, "Little brother is really transparent. He must be a child of a wealthy family. I wonder where little brother is from? Are there any relatives in Yangyun Mountain?"

Hui Dabao said, "I am not a child of a wealthy family. I am just from an ordinary family in Yueyang Prefecture. I have no relatives in Yangyun Mountain..."

"oh oh.."

Goatee's eyes were spinning.

Seeing his strange expression, Hui Dabao didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he quickened his pace and passed in front of Goatee.

As I approached the door of the hall, I saw a bald man crossing his legs and humming a tune leisurely with his eyes closed.

Hui Dabao was in a low mood and walked out of the hall with his head down. Suddenly, he heard the goatee behind him shouting, "He Bao... is here to live!"

The bald man stood up with a roar and shouted, "What...are you here to live? Are you fat?" After saying that, his eyes suddenly fell on Hui Dabao.

Hui Dabao didn't understand what they meant. He turned back to look at Goatee. It didn't matter if he didn't look at it. When he took a look, he found that Goatee was looking at him with a wicked smile on his face. He was suddenly shocked...

The bald man looked at Hui Dabao fiercely and said, "Lao Zhang, are you stable?"

Goatee showed his yellow teeth and said with a smile, "I've asked, feel free to kill rabbits that don't bite!"

After listening to the conversation between the two, Hui Dabao finally understood that they wanted to seize his belongings. No wonder Goatee wanted to inquire about his identity just now, just to know if robbing him would cause trouble. Now, they know that they have no Backstage, there must be no scruples.

Damn it, why is my life so miserable!

Hui Dabao sighed deeply and said, "Two uncles, this villain is just an ordinary kid from a poor family. He doesn't have much wealth. I ask you, sir, to spare this villain a lot!"

The bald man let out a sigh and said, "Stop talking nonsense, our Master Zhang worked hard to lead you the way, and if you just want to run away like this, be careful I break your legs!"

The goatee stopped the bald man and said, "Oh, Brother Leopard, don't be so fierce. Be careful of scaring the little brother. The little brother is a discerning man. He knows that I have worked hard to bring him along, so how can I express my gratitude?" ...Ouch... Come on, why is there something wrong with my legs... Brother Leopard, please help me sit down and have a rest... Ouch!"

Hui Dabao watched the bald man pretending to lift his goatee to the stool. He knew that if he didn't take out some money, the other party would definitely not give up, so he had to take out fifty coins from his arms and said, "This money... can be regarded as... Thank you, Uncle Zhang..." Halfway through the words, I suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing over me. The bald man had arrived before me at some point, grabbed his chest, and said in a vicious voice, "Damn, you are giving away such a small amount of money to beg for food! "

"What are you going to do...let me go!"

He waved Dabao with all his strength, trying to pry open the bald man's hand, but no matter how hard he tried, the man's hand always clamped tightly on the clothes on his chest.

Just when he was about to bite it with his teeth, he suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen. The bald man pushed him hard with his knee. The pain suddenly made his whole body weak, and he spurted out a mouthful of acidic water.

"Damn it, bastard, if I don't give you some strength, you don't know how powerful your Mr. Bao is!"

The bald man stepped on Hui Dabao's hind legs, causing Hui Dabao to kneel down on the ground. At the same time, he grabbed Hui Dabao's arm and pulled him back. Hui Dabao was restrained and unable to move.

"Lao Zhang, why are you so stunned? Why don't you come over and search how many things this kid has on him?"

At this time, Hua Dabao was in severe pain in his stomach, and he didn't even have the strength to speak. He could only let Goatee search randomly on his body, and watched helplessly as he took away the only two hundred Wen left. After searching his body, Goatee He went to look through his package again.

"Damn, I'm so poor. The package is full of rags and a wooden stick. It's a waste of my time. Bah!"

Goatee spat a thick mouthful of phlegm on Hui Dabao's face.

Hui Dabao's hands and feet were clamped and he couldn't move. He could only stare at Goatee fiercely.

"Damn it, you dare to stare at me!"

Goatee raised his hand and slapped him, and then kicked Dabao hard in the stomach. Dabao was so painful that he bent over like a shrimp.

"Old Leopard, throw this piece of shit out, I'll go find some wine and make some roast chicken, and let us have a drink together!"

"Good Le!"

The door of the Foreign Affairs Hall opened, and Hui Dabao was thrown out like garbage, followed immediately by a few rags and a wooden stick.

Hui Dabao was lying on the ground, his face covered with tears and dust...

There were many pedestrians on the street. When everyone passed by, they glanced at him and left as if nothing had happened. For them, people were thrown out of the Foreign Affairs Hall almost every day, and they had long been accustomed to it.

After an unknown amount of time, Hui Dabao slowly sat up, packed the clothes around him, picked up the crutch, and walked down the mountain without looking back.
