Cultivating Immortals in Martial Arts

Xia Houxun looked at the lone peak soaring into the clouds, and thought to himself: "How can ordinary people go up such a mountain? Archer is really a god, right?"

Just as he was thinking like this, he suddenly saw Ji Che walking around in front of him, and squatting slightly with his back to him.

Xia Houxun was a little unsure for a while, did Archer mean to carry him?

Seeing Xiahou Xunyou in a daze, Ji Che said, "Come up."

Before Xia Houxun could think clearly, his body had already laid down on the ground very honestly.

After seeing him lying on the ground, Ji Che said, "Embrace me." After finishing speaking, before Xia Houxun could react, he jumped up, flying upwards like an arrow off the string... Although he already knew that Ji Che's lightness kung fu was superb, but He flew over the cliff with his back on his back, his aura steady and his speed unabated as if he was walking on flat ground, which made Xia Houxun even more amazed, and for a moment he thought of himself again, now that his meridians are all destroyed, he can no longer make a difference in martial arts. Ascension, can't help feeling depressed.

Ji Che flew very fast, but it still took about a stick of incense to reach the top of the mountain.

Xia Houxun climbed off Ji Che's back and looked around, only then did he see the surrounding environment clearly.

The area above this mountain peak is only about an inch in size. According to visual estimation, it is about an acre or so. Not far from Xia Houxun, there are a few unsatisfactory thatched houses, which are half collapsed, and they seem to be built casually.

Looking down from the mountain, the sea of ​​clouds halfway up the mountain blocks the line of sight, and you can hardly see the ground. The wind is very strong on the top of the mountain and the temperature is very low. There is almost no grass growing on the ground. The pine trees, despite the wind and frost in the deep winter, are still graceful and graceful.

Surrounding this mountain peak are several steep peaks like it, which also seem to grow out of the ground, with a pillar holding up to the sky, and the sea of ​​clouds on the mountainside is filled, like the fairy mountain outside Fangwai in the drama.

Looking as far as the eye can see, apart from the few sharply rooted mountains nearby, there are rolling mountain silhouettes in the distance, as if they are the guards of this fairy mountain, enclosing this mountain peak heavily and heavily.

Although it is far away from the human world, the scenery is magnificent, and you can look up at the sky and the earth, feel the vastness of the sky and the earth, and the infinite universe.

Xia Houxun asked, "Archer, what is the name of this mountain?"

Ji Che shook his head and said, "No name."

Xia Houxun: "..."

Yes, before when he asked Ji Che where he came from, he only said that he came from the mountain. He asked him which famous mountain he studied under, and he either kept silent or said that the mountain had no name. Before, he thought Ji Che was doing it on purpose. Conceal identity, hide strength.Now it seems that it is not that Ji Che deliberately concealed it, but that the mountain really has no name.

Xia Houxun said: "How can such a beautiful mountain have no name?"

Ji Che said casually, "Then give it a name."

Xia Houxun looked at the sea of ​​clouds rolling in the distance and suddenly felt the vastness of the world, and said: "If not, let's call it Yunmiao Peak."

Ji Che nodded, as long as you are happy.

Xia Houxun said: "Have you been living on Yunmiao Peak since you were young?"

Ji Che pointed at him and pointed at the surrounding peaks that were like the twin brothers of Yunmiao Peak, and said, "There are also these five surrounding peaks."

Looking at the distance between these mountains, Xia Houxun finally understood why Ji Che's lightness kung fu is so good, and thought, "This is really a place suitable for practicing martial arts!" Without the interference of cockfighting, eating, drinking and having fun, it is not very suitable for cultivation Practice martial arts.

The mountain wind was bitter, so Ji Che took Xia Houxun into the thatched cottage, found a cloak for Xia Houxun to put on, and then took Xia Houxun to his master's tomb to pay homage to his master.

When they arrived at Master Ji Che's tombstone, they saw that it read: Tomb of the former master Wang Lie.

Xia Houxun looked at Ji Che in shock and said, "Your master's name is Wang Lie?!"

Ji Che nodded, Xia Houxun said again: "Is it Ji Kang's master Wang Lie???"

Ji Che looked far away, seeming to be recalling, and said: "Master once said that grandfather had no opportunity to cultivate immortality, so he never worshiped his master."

For a moment, Xia Houxun felt that he was still in a dream.

Xia Houxun likes to play heretics, and also likes to listen to some unofficial history, so he is naturally no stranger to Wang Lie and Ji Kang.

In today's era, in the pursuit of celebrities, scholars all take the seven sages of the bamboo forest as their models, especially Ji Kang, so the stories of Ji Kang are widely spread among the people. It is said that he once worshiped Wang Lie as his teacher and asked the immortals.

This is nothing at all, it is common for people in the world to seek immortals and visit Taoism, and they often write some poems about wandering immortals to record what they feel and hear.

But this Wang Lie is the only person in these legends who has attained Taoism and immortality. People say that he is "330 years old, especially young, with adventures in mountain climbing, and walking like flying."

There is also an anecdote about Ji Kang's envy of Wang Lie. It is said that Ji Kang believed in Taoism, so he visited Wang Lie, who had attained Taoism, as his teacher.

Once when Wang Lie entered the Taihang Mountain alone, he suddenly heard a loud bang, and the mountain avalanche opened a hole, which was hundreds of feet wide.There are blue stones on both sides, and there is a hole in the middle, where green mud flows out like bone marrow. Kang was very happy.But the moment he took the elixir, the elixir turned into an ordinary bluestone, and Ji Kang was very depressed.

Another time, Wang Lie and Ji Kang went into the mountain together. Wang Lie saw a scroll of fairy books in the stone room and called Ji Kang to get them together, but when Ji Kang entered the stone room, the fairy books disappeared out of thin air. The ambition of the Tao has no chance, and this is fate!" [1]

Xia Houxun originally thought that Wang Lie was just a fabricated character, but he never thought that such a person actually existed.

Damn, so calculated, this Wang Lie lived for more than 400 years before he drove to the west... It is unbelievable, but when Xia Houxun saw Ji Che's handsome profile, he suddenly thought that the man in front of him was already over the age Gu Xi... suddenly felt that it is not so unbelievable that Wang Lie passed away at the age of more than 400 years.

After the two worshiped Wang Lie, Ji Che took him back to Yunmiao Peak.

After dinner, Ji Che went to the mountain where he often practiced to get Wang Lie's cultivation secrets. Xia Houxun was bored all by himself, so he went for a walk in the courtyard.

After walking around, I discovered something strange. There are five thatched huts in the yard. The room where Ji Che and his master rested is a small room, there is another thatched hut and a kitchen, and the remaining room is in these five The largest one, but was left idle and abandoned.

Just waiting to visit, Ji Che came back, saw Xia Houxun standing in the yard, and said, "It's windy at night, be careful to catch a cold."

Xia Houxun pointed back at the big room and asked Ji Che, "What is this room for?"

Ji Che glanced at it, and said lightly, "It's used to pile sundries on weekdays." After finishing speaking, he said, "If it's cold today, your cold poison will be cured. I'll go find something and light a fire at night, and you will be in the yard." Don't go to the edge of the cliff." After speaking, Ji Che left.

Looking at the big room, Xia Houxun couldn't help being a little puzzled, what kind of sundries could two big men have to use a big room to pile up?

He pushed open the door of the utility room, and was caught off guard!There are several piles of gold and silver treasures piled up like hills in the utility room! ! !

Xia Houxun swallowed, feeling his heart beating like thunder!
