The long road to immortality is missing you

Xi Yuan cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "The younger generation has admired the reputation of the Tianjun School for a long time, but the younger generation's talent is still young, and he doesn't know anything about cultivating Taoism. What's more, the grandfather in the younger generation's family is very old. If the younger generation just leaves without saying a word , Grandpa will have nothing to rely on. Therefore, I don’t know if the senior can allow the junior to prepare for some time, and when the time is right, the disciple will definitely worship into the mountain gate in person—"

"It sounds reasonable, but, junior brother, you don't know the slightest bit of fairy art. Without our guidance, it is impossible to enter Nantai Immortal Mountain." Yang Guyan kindly reminded.

"That's right, it's rare for the sect leader to take us down the mountain to practice in person, and it's even rarer for senior brother to ask master for you. What are you waiting for, junior brother?" Wen Shuo with a gentle face also persuaded.

"Brothers, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind." Xi Yuan's small face was full of determination, and he never let go.

Everyone fell silent immediately, and no one spoke anymore, but turned their attention to Lan Jian and Lu Shenghan.

"So, that's fine." Lu Shenghan didn't feel comfortable asking, but took out a suet jade pendant from his bosom, handed it to Xi Yuan, and said, "Put this thing away, don't lose it, as long as Get ready, take this jade pendant, and you can go up the mountain anytime."

Xi Yuan was a little confused and had no time to think, so he quickly reached out to take it.I saw that this jade pendant was pure white and oval in shape, with a "Jun" character faintly visible in the middle. Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a little light blue brilliance flowing in the middle.

Yang Guyan who was on the side seemed to see the puzzled look on Xi Yuan's face, and explained with a smile: "This jade pendant is exclusively for the direct disciples of the sect master, senior brother, me, second senior brother, third senior sister and fourth senior brother. Yes. If you accept this jade pendant, you will be my junior brother—"

Xi Yuan smiled, put the jade pendant into his arms carefully, and said to Lu Shenghan: "Senior, junior, don't leave for now."

Xi Yuan put his eyes on Lan Jian who had been silent all this time, but the latter didn't look directly at him, turned his head away, his expression was obviously very cold, but in his eyes he felt like a child, he suddenly I feel a little funny.

"Lan Jian, I'm leaving." Xi Yuan said softly, "You have to take care."

Lan Jian remained silent, Xi Yuan thought for a while, and added a sentence: "Don't forget what I said, you... know what I'm talking about."

When Lan Jian heard this, she raised her head and looked over. After a long time, she nodded and said softly, "I remember."

"That's good." Xi Yuan finally felt relieved, smiled at everyone, waved his hands, and said, "Everyone, the green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. There will be a period later!"

"Junior Brother Xi Yuan, take care too!" Yang Guyan and Wen Shuo said in unison, and the others also waved goodbye to him.

Xi Yuan walked slowly in the opposite direction. For some reason, he could feel a scorching gaze behind him, always staring at him.Xi Yuan wanted to look back several times, but he held back.

"Don't look back..." Xi Yuan murmured to himself, as the distance from them got farther and farther away, Xi Yuan dared to look back, but he could only see a few small dots, they probably haven't left yet.

"Hey, what do I want to do, I've already said goodbye." Xi Yuan shook his head, and took out the mutton fat jade pendant from his bosom again.

For the sake of both parties' face, Xi Yuan had no choice but to make such a bad move.But he never expected that Lu Shenghan would actually give him such a precious thing, which made him feel very sorry.

He originally thought that he would just say such casual words to fool the past, and after a while, they might all forget about this matter, and even if they still remembered, they probably didn't have much time to pay attention to him.

There was a small forest in front of him, the forest was not dense, and the sound of the breeze blowing through the branches and leaves came to his ears from time to time. When he listened carefully, he could even hear a trace of spring water jingling, like the ringing of pearls.

"Huh? There's water!" Xi Yuan hadn't dipped in a sip of water since he fell into the enchantment yesterday. At this moment, he couldn't help feeling thirsty, so he walked in, wanting to find some water to drink.

After walking for several hours, the sound of spring water was already close to his ears, but he still couldn't find it. Xi Yuan was very surprised.

Xi Yuan walked around the forest for a long time, and now it was the setting sun, from sunrise to sunset, Xi Yuan hadn't come out of the small forest yet.He felt sore legs and feet, and his stomach was growling.

"Forget it, let's rest for a while." Xi Yuan thought, leaning on a towering ancient tree casually, rubbing his sore legs and feet.

"Gu——" The stomach began to protest again, Xi Yuan curled his lips, obviously he didn't feel very hungry before, but now, so many things happened not long after we parted from them.

Xi Yuan supported the tree trunk with one hand, and just stood up when he suddenly felt hit on the back of his head.

"Ah--" Xi Yuan clutched the back of his head, and was about to raise his head to see what was going on, when suddenly there was another burst of crackling, several unknown things came straight towards his head, Xi Yuan also reacted quickly, and hurriedly hugged his head and turned to the side hide away.

He glanced over, but saw more than a dozen red fruits on the ground, all plump and juicy, and huge in size.

When Xi Yuan saw it, he couldn't help but feel happy, and immediately squatted down and picked up the fruit closest to him. When it came up, he took a big mouthful. The flesh was extremely sweet, which quenched both thirst and hunger.

Xi Yuan gnawed the red fruit within a few bites, and was about to go over to get another one, but suddenly felt something was wrong. At this moment, he heard only a "pop" and the sound of a tree branch breaking overhead.

Xi Yuan hurriedly looked up, but only saw a dark shadow in the gaps among the thick green leaves, but the black shadow seemed a little strange, not like a human, more like... some kind of animal!

It was the season of warm spring and flowers blooming, but Xi Yuan shuddered inexplicably.

"What was that just now... What's the matter with this fruit?" Xi Yuan still had a smudge on his lips, "But to be honest, this fruit is really delicious."

Xi Yuan thought about it, but still felt that it was worthless. Besides, he had already eaten the first one, so it was fine.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved, gathered all the fruits on the ground into his clothes, and suddenly, his body was bulging.

Xi Yuan grabbed another one, gnawed on the fruit, and walked forward humming a song.

After gnawing on a fruit, he threw the core away, but he didn't hear the sound of falling to the ground, and a muffled groan came from not far away.Xi Yuan was startled, his hands shook, and the fruit spilled all over the ground.

Xi Yuan quickly squatted down and picked up the fruits one by one again.At this moment, Xi Yuan didn't know what mechanism he touched, and a huge net fell from the sky. Xi Yuan, who had no time to react in the future, was instantly bound in the net and hung in mid-air.

"This, this, this..." Xi Yuan was terrified in his heart, and broke free a few times, and found that the net was extremely strong, unless he had a knife, dagger or other sharp blades in his hand, it would be extremely difficult to break free.

However, all he has on him now is a bunch of red fruits, an extremely disobedient broken magic talisman, and a useless suet jade pendant.

"Is anyone there—" Xi Yuan shouted, but the only response was dead silence.

Xi Yuan closed his eyes resignedly, glanced at the fruit in his bosom, stretched out his hand again with difficulty, grabbed one, and put it into his mouth.

Being sleepy, Xi Yuan decided to take a nap first, and wait until he wakes up to talk about other things.

After one or two hours, Xi Yuan suddenly heard a very small voice.

"Ouch-"

Xi Yuan hurriedly opened his eyes. At this time, the sky was already dark, and the moon was shining like a wash, reflecting this unknown forest, and it was coated with a faint silver light.

He took advantage of the opportunity to look down, and there was a little black dog under the net, with a wrinkled face and a tuft of white hair on the top of his head. The black fur all over his body was shiny and shiny in the moonlight.

The little native dog raised its short tail and kept barking at Xi Yuan. Xi Yuan rolled his eyes and thought, "It's no use barking at me. I don't understand dog language. But to be honest, this dog is ugly."

Seeing that Xi Yuan didn't respond, the little dirt dog pawed at the spot, then ran towards the ancient tree not far away, running fast on all fours, and climbed up the tree trunk with a "bass".

Xi Yuan was stunned when he saw it in the net. He saw the little dog quickly climbed up the tree and shuttled nimbly among the layers of branches and leaves.Xi Yuan suddenly realized that the black shadow he saw when he looked up just now must be it.

The little dog quickly jumped onto the highest branch, not far from the net hanging Xi Yuan.

At this moment, two rough voices came from below.Hearing these two voices, the little dog quickly shrank into the leaves.

"Hey, I didn't hunt a black dog today, but I caught a little guy." An uncle with a beard, holding a long knife in his hand, stared at Xi Yuan in the net with malicious intent.

"Yeah, look at how handsome this guy is with his thin skin and tender flesh. It's a pity that he didn't catch the black dog, but this guy will definitely sell for a good price." Another chunky uncle echoed. .

Xi Yuan stared closely at the long knife in their hands, feeling a little scared.Suddenly, his body fell straight down, and with a "pop", Xi Yuan felt a sharp pain in his buttocks, and he couldn't help gasping.

Seeing Xi Yuan baring his teeth, the two uncles burst out laughing.

"Hey, boy, what's your name?" The uncle with the knife asked very rudely.

Xi Yuan closed his eyes and decided not to pay attention to these two people.

"Let's go, it's getting late, take this guy over here before he leaves." Seeing that Xi Yuan closed his eyes and said nothing, the uncle with the knife stopped making fun of himself, stepped forward and grabbed the netmer At the other end, he said to the short and fat uncle: "Come here and give me a hand."

Listening to the words of these two people, Xi Yuan wailed in his heart, secretly clenched the magic talisman in his hand, and said in his heart: "It's over, it's over, I have met the legendary human trafficker. If I had known this, why bother?" Urgently bid farewell to Lan Jian and the others! How about I try this broken spirit talisman again?"

The chunky uncle hurried forward, and when the two of them were about to carry Xi Yuan onto their backs together, they suddenly heard several shrill howls.

"Ouch-"

This howling sound had an extremely long tail and was extremely shrill, followed by several echoes in this quiet forest.

Those two people froze when they heard the howling, while the short and fat uncle was shaking like a sieve, and said with horror on his face: "Brother...Brother, don't we encounter a pack of man-eating wolves? "

"Fart—" The knife-handler uncle was bold, he took out a fire pocket from his pocket, rubbed it lightly, and made a ball of flames, illuminating the surrounding area.

"Look, how can there be any wolves around here?" The uncle with the knife lit a fire pocket and took a picture around the area.

The two immediately felt relieved, and just about to turn around and pick up Xi Yuan again, they met a pair of green eyes shining in the dark.

The two were stunned for a while, and then they shouted at the same time: "Ahhh——"

The two left Xi Yuan behind and ran forward desperately, screaming all the way.

Xi Yuan was also a little terrified, just as he was about to look back feebly at the "brother wolf" who had saved him, only to find that the rope net that tightly bound him had been loosened.

With the help of the dim moonlight and the unextinguished fire, he also saw clearly that it was the dog from before who was biting one end of the rope net.

The author has something to say:

Xi Yuan: [Happy] Gouzi, what's your name?

Gouzi: Aww~

Xi Yuan: [stroking the dog's head] Gouzi, why did you come to save me?

Gouzi: Woohoo!

Xi Yuan: [Hug Gouzi] Gouzi, who are you?Why do I feel that you are not like an ordinary dog, you...

Lan Jian: Xi Yuan! ! !

Xi Yuan: Here!What orders does the hero have!

Lan Jian: Huh~

Gouzi: Huh?
