Junior brother, stealing the show is risky!
Chapter 10 The Road to Immortality
In the secluded official road, a small carriage was galloping forward.The rear compartment was covered by a curtain, and Yan Qiu sat alone in the front and drove.This was still an unfamiliar job for him, so he didn't dare to neglect it.
"Yuzhi, why are you out again?" The curtain behind the car moved, and someone came out.Yan Qiu looked distractedly, and it turned out to be Wen Yuzhi again.After only half a day's journey, he took the initiative to come out three times to replace the driver. He is really a sensible child who makes people feel distressed.
The road ahead is smooth, and there are no obstacles at a glance.Yan Qiu simply slowed down, patted the crossbar beside him with one hand, and said, "Since you don't want to stay inside, sit down with me!"
Hearing this, Wen Yuzhi smiled, pulled the hem of his clothes that were too long, and carefully sat down beside him.
Seeing his clothes, Yan Qiu was also speechless.When I helped him wash yesterday, I threw away the torn clothes, and then put on my own clothes directly for him.He is a little short, and the clothes grow on him.Later, before leaving Zhongxin Town, he went to the tailor shop to pick out clothes that fit him, but he just didn't want to change them.
"You are so young, can you drive a car?" Yan Qiu felt that this child was good in other aspects except for being silent, even if he often said three sentences to him, he would not get a single response.
"I don't know. But... I should be able to do it after seeing the brother's movements." Wen Yuzhi whispered.
Yan Qiu wiped off his sweat, thankful that he agreed to him without saying anything.
"Senior brother doesn't believe me?" Wen Yuzhi looked at the expression on his face and said suddenly.
"No, although it's not difficult to drive, if you don't control the horse well, it's easy to overturn." Yan Qiu felt that he couldn't hurt a child's self-confidence too much, so he explained implicitly.
"I just want to help senior brother..." Why did senior brother drive the car for those two people alone?He just wants his senior brother to be by his side!
"Huizhi is really sensible. But I can't help you now!" Yan Qiu patted his head, wondering what his so-called "spiritual root" is?If you can't enter the inner sect, I'm afraid you will become alienated in the future.Such a well-behaved temperament really made him, who has always been an only son, feel like an older brother.
In fact, from Zhongxin Town to Xuandong Gate, the rest of the journey takes less than a day.In the morning, we packed dry food at the inn, and the group of four didn't even stop for lunch.Zhou Huanqi and Wen Yuhong were in the car, and Yan Qiu and Wen Yuzhi were in front, so they didn't even feel bored.
At three o'clock in the unitary hour, they had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.Because of the inconvenient carriage, it was sold in the previous town.
Yan Qiu looked at the towering mountain peak and became worried. He didn't think of the road to seek immortality on the way, and now it's impossible for him to go back.
The Road to Immortality is a test that every cultivator must undergo before entering the realm. If you retreat when you see this road, no matter how talented you are, you will definitely be dismissed by Uncle Hong.Now that he has reached the foot of the mountain, even if he wants to do something for him, it will be useless.
"Puzhi." Yan Qiu was a little embarrassed, but had to say it.There is still nearly an hour before evening, and if you are lucky, you may not need to spend the night on the mountain.
"Brother?" Wen Yuzhi asked suspiciously.
"Jianzhi, have you seen the road in front of you?" Yan Qiu pointed to the trail in front of him, which was only late and wide, which was the first entrance at the foot of the mountain.It looks ordinary, but the road becomes winding when it reaches the middle of the mountainside, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and the mountain is steep, it seems that there are still many tests.
Wen Yuzhi nodded.
"You will walk up from here in a while. This road will not be broken. You can walk along it. You can take a rest when you are tired, but if you really want to practice with me on it, you must not give up. You may It will take a long time to walk, but I will wait for you up there." Yan Qiu almost whispered these words in his ear, and he gave all the hints he could give.The test on the road to immortality is nothing more than whether the heart is firm. The danger is not great, but it will definitely suffer.It might help if he could understand "the road will never break".
In fact, if he hadn't seen his injury in the morning, Yan Qiu wouldn't need to worry at all.
"What about you?" Wen Yuzhi nodded solemnly, looked at him and asked.
"I have another way to go. In other words, I didn't think carefully this time. I should have brought you here tomorrow... Don't be afraid, there are no beasts on this road. You have to remember that you can only go up if you go up." See me again." Yan Qiu emphasized to him.I don't know if it's the so-called immature plot, but he found that compared with the two juniors, Juanzhi obviously trusts and relies on him more, so he said these words of encouragement.
"Okay, senior brother must wait for me up there." Wen Yuzhi looked at him, pleadingly.
Yan Qiu nodded and said, "You go, I'll watch you go up." It was getting late, and it would be even later if it dragged on.
Wen Yuzhi took a deep look at him when he heard the words, and then walked up the mountain without looking back.The mountain wind blew past, causing the vegetation to shake.
"Brother, it's time for us to go back." Seeing him standing still for a long time, Zhou Huanqi called out a little strangely.
"Yes, let's go too." Wen Yuzhi's pace was not slow, and his figure quickly disappeared from their sight.Only then did Yan Qiu come to his senses, turning around and saying.
If you don't go back, Master should be worried.
The three of them leaped up and quickly went on another road, and the foot of the mountain quickly returned to silence.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the three reached the top of the mountain.Except that Wen Yuhong's breath was a little disturbed, neither of the other two felt any discomfort.
"Huanqi, Yuhong, I want to give the herbs to Master, you go back first." As soon as they entered the gate, Yan Qiu said first.Counting it, the three of them have been out for nine days, so he should go back and report.
The courtyard where they lived was in a different direction from Master and the others. Yan Qiu watched them leave before continuing to walk inside.
"Xiao Yan, are you back?"
The one closest to the gate is the Foreign Affairs Hall, perhaps for the convenience of the outer disciples to handle various miscellaneous matters.As the head of the sect, Jin Mingshan doesn't care about the foreign affairs, and Director Hong is mainly in charge of the foreign affairs hall.Occasionally, there are important matters that need to be discussed, and they are also handed over to Wei Zongzhan.The head of the sect and the two elders devoted themselves to researching the exercises and teaching the disciples under the sect.
When Yan Qiu came in, Director Hong was sitting on a chair drinking tea.Seeing him coming in, she called him in surprise.
"Yes, Uncle Hong. I just came back and am going to find my master!" Yan Qiu also smiled and nodded towards him. Manager Hong must have some extraordinary skills to be able to manage major affairs inside and outside the door by himself.
"Your master has locked himself up for three days, but he told you in advance that you can go to see him directly when you come back." Manager Hong naturally knew that he had just returned, and was even more surprised by his purpose for coming here.
"Thank you, Uncle Hong. I'll be there soon. But when I went out this time, when I came back, I met a child with amnesia. Seeing how clever he was, I brought him back. Uncle Hong, he is on his way to immortality. If it comes up, can you help him test it?" Yan Qiu said a little embarrassedly, it was the first time he "walked/back/door" here openly.
"Have you lost your memory? How old are you?" Manager Hong mused slightly. Although even if the aptitude is not good, he can barely arrange to enter the outer door.
"A little younger than me, about 12 to 13 years old." Since Juezhi has lost his memory, it's not easy for Yan Qiu to ask him about his age.But judging by his height, it's probably not too far off.Seeing Hong Zhenqing's hesitant expression, he said again: "We passed by Zhongxin Town to change our minds temporarily. Besides, when I met him, he was about to faint from the cold on the street. There should be no doubt about his identity."
"That's fine. If he comes up, I'll test his spiritual root." Seeing what he said, Hong Zhenqing said straightforwardly.
"Then I'll have to thank Uncle Hong." Yan Qiu said with a smile after letting go of half of his hanging heart.I don't know why, but he seems to be very confident that he will be able to complete the journey of seeking immortality.
At the same time, at the foot of the Xuandong Gate.
When I saw the entrance at the bottom of the mountain at first, I thought the "Road to Seeking Immortals" mentioned by my senior was a narrow path leading to the top of the mountain.But after walking for a quarter of an hour, his mind was completely changed.
Although the original sheep intestine trail has messy branches and leaves on both sides, and only one person can pass on the ground, it can only be regarded as a difficult mountain road.As long as Wen Yuzhi gritted his teeth and deliberately ignored the pain on his back, he could easily break through.
But this road is obviously not always so easy to walk.Wen Yuzhi finished walking the first short peak, took a deep breath, and continued walking forward.
I don't know if it has been artificially modified, but the road ahead is completely unobstructed by trees.Before Wen Yuzhi was lucky enough to get rid of the miscanthus that had been scratching his calf, he found that there were strange rocks here, and there was no convenient place on the ground to get off.
He only hesitated for a moment, then bent down to hold the stone in front of him with his hands, and then stepped on it slowly.Although not fast, this method is much safer.
Needless to say the hardships involved, after all, there is a cliff on one side and an abyss on the other, if you just look to the side, you may be frightened and fall.
The temperature on Mingming Mountain is getting lower and lower, but the sweat on Wen Chengzhi's forehead is getting more and more.The boulders on the mountain are completely natural and rough, and the fingers are quickly worn out.
Fortunately, this section of the road also has an end. Just when Wen Yuzhi felt that his whole body was about to lose strength, he climbed up the last boulder and found that the road ahead had changed again.
It seems to indicate that all hardships will come to an end, and the road ahead has been built.From the strange rock where he was standing, a long staircase draws an arc and extends into the distance.
Wen Yuzhi stared intently for a long time, but the scene in front of him did not change.He stretched out one foot and stepped on it tentatively, the fine stones felt very obvious to the touch.
After the previous trials, although the body is already very tired, but compared to the sudden reduction in difficulty, it seems that I don't feel tired.
Wen Yuzhi didn't want to waste time here, so he immediately walked forward.After walking the downhill path of this mountain, I started to walk up again.After walking like this for a long time, he finally felt that something was wrong.
Why has it been so long, but the surroundings seem to have never changed?As soon as this idea came to his mind, he found that the surrounding environment had changed.
It was a mountain village with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but few people had enough to eat and wear. The sun was shining in the sky, and the aroma from many houses made him swallow involuntarily.He mustered up the courage to knock on the doors of one house after another. Some people yelled at him and pushed him away, while others handed him a rice ball or steamed bread.
Wen Yuzhi stood blankly, this feeling was so real, even though he thought that there was something strange in it, he couldn't break free for a while.
"Senior brother...will not abandon me..." After an unknown amount of time, another person finally appeared in his sight.He wouldn't talk to him loudly, stuffed him into the bed to keep warm, and helped him cool the porridge.
As he thought about it, the scene in front of him suddenly changed again.The brother's figure gradually disappeared, and he stood alone in front of the medicine garden, with only the cold moonlight above his head for company.
The water from the medicinal herbs can never run out, and the whip that swung seems to be able to penetrate the flesh.Scenes and scenes were repeated in front of his eyes, and Wen Chen's pain made his whole body twitch.It wasn't until the nails pierced the palm of his hand that he vaguely remembered that that person was dead.
"Yuzhi, why are you out again?" The curtain behind the car moved, and someone came out.Yan Qiu looked distractedly, and it turned out to be Wen Yuzhi again.After only half a day's journey, he took the initiative to come out three times to replace the driver. He is really a sensible child who makes people feel distressed.
The road ahead is smooth, and there are no obstacles at a glance.Yan Qiu simply slowed down, patted the crossbar beside him with one hand, and said, "Since you don't want to stay inside, sit down with me!"
