Lonely Immortal

Zhang Zhiwen really didn't expect that there were people like this in Daoyishan. Aren't people like this peddling random and deceptive things common only in the secular world? But because of this, Zhang Zhiwen became interested, and he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, are you telling the truth?"

"Ha, can I still lie to you? Come on, little brother, let's come in and talk." The fat man saw that Zhang Zhiwen actually paid attention to him. He was very excited and pulled Zhang Zhiwen into a restaurant nearby and found a seat at random. He sat down, and then shouted at the top of his voice, "Serve the food here, and a jug of good wine!"

After the fat man shouted these words, he smiled awkwardly at Zhang Zhiwen, and then said: "Well, little brother, do you mind treating me to a meal?"

Zhang Zhiwen smiled lightly, and then said: "It doesn't matter, brother, just order whatever you want to eat."

"Ha, it's easy to talk, just eat as much as you like. Hey, who am I talking about? I didn't hear anyone treating me. Why are you still whining? Hurry up and serve the food!"

The fat man yelled at a waiter in the restaurant again. The waiter obviously knew the fat man, but for Zhang Zhiwen's sake, he looked at the fat man with disdain and went to prepare the food.

Not to mention, the business in this restaurant is good, and there are many people coming and going. In fact, Zhang Zhiwen is quite strange. This is Daoyi Mountain, and the people who come here are all the chosen ones, right? Why are there still people working as waiters?

"Hey, ignore him, he is just a follower, you can't compare with the little brother." The fat man seemed to know the situation here very well, and then he said, "I haven't asked the little brother for his name yet, oh yes Yes, in Shimoda Qikun.”

Zhang Zhiwen didn't expect that Daoyishan actually had any followers. Does this mean that the Chosen Son can bring his followers in? But since the fat man Tian Qikun asked him his name, Zhang Zhiwen had nothing to hide, so he replied: "Zhang Zhiwen, hello, Brother Tian. By the way, Brother Tian should be very familiar with this place, right?"

"Hey, of course. Tian was here last time and didn't go out after that, so he stayed here all the time. Anyway, it's free here and it's pretty good." Fatty Tian Qikun said as he picked up the teapot He poured a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp, looking quite vulgar.

But Zhang Zhiwen didn't care, because who hadn't he seen before? It's just that Zhang Zhiwen was very surprised after hearing Tian Qikun's words, because Tian Qikun said that he had never gone out. What did this mean?

"Hey, I know Brother Zhang must be very strange. In fact, Tian came in with his master last time, and then the short-lived master died on Daoyi Mountain. Then Tian didn't dare to go out alone, and the short-lived master The master has some enemies outside, so Tian simply stayed here. Anyway, you can practice and live here. Hey, it's just that, that's a little bit poorer, but it's always better than losing your life. …”

Zhang Zhiwen was surprised again when Fatty Tian Qikun said something. He didn't expect such a thing to happen in Daoyishan. Tian Qikun's master should be the chosen one, right? The master is dead, but the followers can stay here and live here for many years. You must know that Daoyi Mountain is only opened once a hundred years. Speaking of which, Tian Qikun has lived in Daoyi Mountain for a hundred years. ?

But before Zhang Zhiwen could speak, the fat man Tian Qikun said again: "By the way, I almost forgot to recommend something to Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang, look at these, these are all good things..."

Tian Qikun said as he put the messy things on the table. These messy things were really dazzling, but most of them were daily necessities. It was probably that the fat man picked them up from somewhere, but there was a map among them that caused a stir. At Zhang Zhiwen's attention, Zhang Zhiwen picked up the map and started reading it.

Seeing that Zhang Zhiwen was interested in the map, the fat man Tian Qikun immediately started selling it, making lavish claims about the map, saying that there were secret passages on it, and that he could easily climb the Daoyi Mountains.

In this regard, Zhang Zhiwen said nothing, because this map was obviously hand-drawn by a certain chosen one, and it was only drawn to the seventeenth level of Daoyi Mountain. However, these seventeen levels of Daoyi Mountain had more detailed annotations, such as this first The first level of Daoyi Mountain was written to test the monks' cold-resistant will, because when he climbed the first level of Daoyi Mountain, he encountered ice and snow weather, and it was extremely cold. Ordinary monks It is difficult to resist, and the second level Daoyi Mountain encountered colder weather. As for the third level, this person encountered hot weather, and the fourth level encountered poisonous fog, etc., roughly the same In addition to this harsh environment, there is the pressure of Daoyi Mountain. This pressure is a comprehensive test in other aspects on the basis of testing Daoyuan. Zhang Zhiwen is very clear about this.

Apart from these, this map is the so-called secret passage or secret passage in Fatty's mouth. In fact, the painter did not say what kind of secret passage or secret passage it was. He just thought that those cave entrances were very strange, and the painter did not dare to get close, because once It seems that if you get close, you will be severely injured by some magical power, or even killed on the spot. Anyway, the monks who go up the mountain should pay attention to this kind of cave entrance, and try to avoid it if they see it.

"Hey, Tian thinks that this cave entrance is definitely a secret passage, or a secret passage, which can directly lead to a higher place in Daoyi Mountain. Just forget they don't believe it one by one, and they say I'm talking nonsense." Tian Qikun saw Zhang Zhiwen looking at Map, he said again quite feeling good about himself.

But Zhang Zhiwen roughly knows the situation on this map. In fact, this cave entrance should not be a secret passage or a secret passage. Otherwise, why would Daoyi Mountain require monks to climb hard? This is obviously some kind of restriction mechanism that blocks the monks when they climb, so be careful.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen put the map back, because the map did not have much value, otherwise the fat man Tian Qikun would not have been able to get this map, because the fat man Tian Qikun was just a follower of the Chosen One, depending on his cultivation level. It's only the second level of foundation building, and the Dao root is probably very poor.

But Zhang Zhiwen is quite curious, because if Fatty Tian Qikun can stay here, why doesn't he climb Daoyi Mountain? Although his Taoist roots are indeed very low, if he climbs up, he might be able to obtain the status of a disciple.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen expressed his doubts, and the fat man Tian Qikun suddenly said in frustration: "Oh, Brother Zhang doesn't know something. We are just followers. We can't compare with you. You have an identity. No, that identity token is It’s the biggest status symbol. Without this token, we can’t get in.”

When Zhang Zhiwen heard this, he suddenly realized that Fatty Tian Qikun really didn't have such an identity token on him. He just followed his former master.

At this time, the waiter came to serve the food. He was naturally polite to Zhang Zhiwen, but he was naturally quite contemptuous of the fat man Tian Qikun. Before leaving, he still glared at Tian Qikun with disdain, but Tian Qikun suddenly said with disdain: "Why are you staring? ? Dogs look down on people, huh..."

Seeing Tian Qikun like this, Zhang Zhiwen just smiled faintly and didn't really care. To be honest, he usually didn't look down on people. Instead, he felt that the waiter in this shop was really looking down on people. Fatty Tian Qikun could live alone in this Daoyishan. One hundred years, this is actually nothing ordinary People can do it, because once the Chosen Son leaves here, only followers like him will have no way to leave. It is obviously impossible for a person to survive alone in this place for a hundred years without some extraordinary perseverance, and You have to be very optimistic, otherwise you will die of depression here.

"Hey, I know Brother Zhang probably doesn't like the things here..." Fatty Tian Qikun saw that Zhang Zhiwen had a very average attitude towards these things. Of course he was very knowledgeable, so he packed up all the things, and then he said: " But don’t underestimate these things, I only survived here by picking up these things.”

Fatty Tian Qikun packed up his things as he spoke, while Zhang Zhiwen nodded and said, "That's natural. It's not easy for Brother Tian to live here alone for hundreds of years. I admire you very much."

Fatty Tian Qikun didn't expect that Zhang Zhiwen didn't look down on him, but admired him, and it didn't look like he was cheating. Fatty Tian Qikun rarely put away his playful smile, then took a deep look at Zhang Zhiwen and said: "Brother Zhang, you are different from other people." People are a little different, hey, you are the first one who has not looked down on me in all these years that I have been in Daoyi Mountain. In this case, you are my friend. Come on, let Tian give you a drink!"

Fatty Tian Qikun picked up the teapot on the table and finally poured tea for Zhang Zhiwen for the first time. In fact, Zhang Zhiwen discovered this from the beginning, because this table dish was Zhang Zhiwen's treat, but Fatty Tian Qikun didn't seem to buy it very much, and instead He just poured tea and drank tea, but now the fat man was different. Instead, he poured tea for Zhang Zhiwen and gave Zhang Zhiwen a cup.

Of course, Zhang Zhiwen took the tea cup very politely, and then clinked the cups with Tian Qikun. Fatty Tian Qikun smiled and said: "Haha, I wish Brother Zhang a successful start and good results in this Daoyishan experience. Now, I'm going to Do it first as a courtesy.”

Fatty Tian Qikun raised his neck and drank another cup of tea. Zhang Zhiwen just took a casual sip and put it down.

"Come on, eat some food, eat some food. Hey, who is that? Where's the wine? Why hasn't it been served yet?" Fatty Tian Qikun called to the waiter again. The waiter's face turned dark. If it wasn't for Zhang Zhiwen's sake, he might have died. It will only drive Fatty Tian Qikun out.

However, the waiter couldn't help the fat man urging him, so he could only serve the fat man wine as quickly as possible.

Soon, after drinking for three rounds, the fat man Tian Qikun wiped his mouth and said with satisfaction: "Oh, I haven't eaten so well for a long time. I have to thank Brother Zhang for this."

"You're welcome."

Zhang Zhiwen didn't think anything of it. Since he was destined to this fat man, it didn't hurt to treat him once.

"Brother Zhang, let's not talk about anything else. What is sold in Daoyishan and who needs it? If I, Tian, ​​don't know, then no one will know. This Daoyishan experience happens once in a hundred years. , after every time, there are always people staying, some are followers like us, and some are the Chosen Sons. By the way, guess what, the first Chosen Son who remains to this day, this person is in Taoism. Do you know how long Yishan stayed? "

After the fat man Tian Qikun drank a few glasses of wine, he obviously talked more, and even talked about some past events in Daoyishan.

Zhang Zhiwen was really interested in this. He didn't expect that there would be such a thing in Daoyi Mountain. Some people would not leave after entering. But think about it, there are many people outside who either have enemies or are in a similar situation as him, Zhang Zhiwen. Not only do they have enemies, but they are also involved in the rise and fall of the sect. Therefore, they simply stay here after failure. If Zhang Zhiwen fails, he thinks he will stay too. Anyway, if he goes out, the envoy of the Jindan Sect will definitely come to him. It is better to stay in Daoyi Mountain. In this case, Zhang Zhiwen also wants to leave a way out for himself, so of course he is interested in the affairs of Daoyi Mountain.
