Chapter 1 The Mountain Man

Once upon a time, there was a mountain. There was no temple on the mountain, but there was a small Taoist temple. There lived two people in the temple, an old man and a young man. The old man was the young man's master, but the young man did not want to be his apprentice.

"Old man, there is another group of people outside, saying they want to invite you out." The young man leaned against the door, picking his ears, and casually talking to the old man on the futon.

"You brat, I've told you eight hundred times not to be startled when you meditate for me. You can easily go crazy!" The old man was so frightened that he trembled and said angrily, blowing his beard and staring.

"Hey, aren't you used to this? Besides, your method is profound, so it doesn't matter if you scare me."

Seeing the young man's attitude, the old man was speechless, but he had no choice but to think that he would fall in love with such an apprentice.

"Let them disperse. I live here in seclusion because I don't want to be disturbed by the world anymore."

After that, the old man closed his eyes and continued to meditate. The young man was not surprised by this. After all, such things happened from time to time. So he returned to the front of the temple carelessly and faced a group of well-dressed people who looked not ordinary at first sight.

He said: "Everyone, please go back. My master said that he has stopped caring about worldly affairs. You should go down the mountain."

Having delivered the message, the young man turned around and was about to walk back when he saw an imposing middle-aged man walking out of the crowd, wearing a Tang suit and holding a fan in his hand that exuded a trace of ancient charm.

"Wait a minute, little master!" As he spoke, the man opened the folding fan in his hand, held it in front of his chest, and then took a step forward and continued: "I'm here to ask the old god to come down the mountain and help me get through the difficulties. Please, little master.

Real person, please help me to report again."

After saying this, the middle-aged man clasped his hands and bowed deeply.

The young man turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man, with a trace of disdain in his eyes. He had been in this mountain for more than ten years, and he had seen many battles, not to mention such battles, no matter how numerous and grand he was.

The people who came before were only gifted with gold, silver, jewelry, house deeds, and beautiful women by the dozen, but the old man couldn't see any of them and didn't even give them a chance to meet. What's more, those people's reasons were better than what this person said.

More like reasons.

"You'd better give up on this idea. The old man never goes down the mountain, and he never sees guests. I haven't seen anyone who can go in in the past ten years."

A group of people looked sad, but they were helpless. I don’t know how long the old god in the mountain has existed. Some people said that their ancestors saw this old god more than a hundred years ago. During the war, the old god did a lot of shocking things.

, the old gods at that time were those Taoist immortals. If this was really the case, it would indeed be a bit shocking in this era when the average life span was less than a hundred years.

However, there are always people in this world who do not believe in evil. Warriors have strong energy and blood, but their life span is only a hundred years. Even if this person has discovered martial arts, his life span will only be increased by a hundred years. According to the secular records, this person is probably at least two years old.

He is a hundred years old, and even if he continues to live by using secret methods, he must be depleted of energy and blood, and may die at any time.

"Hmph! I've told you before that this guy must be one of those people who is looking for fame. I don't know how capable he is, but he has a lot of airs. Let me give you a try to see if he has real skills!"

Mi, the burly man with a hunky back pushed aside the crowd and walked straight towards the Taoist temple.

The young man stopped when he heard the sound. Before he could turn around, the big man had already stepped into the door with one foot.

"I advise you to take your foot back. If you let it fall, I'm afraid it will stay here." The young man was very calm and did not show a trace of panic when faced with the pressure of height or momentum.

.

"You are arrogant! Since I debuted, I can count the number of martial arts masters who have been defeated by me on both hands. How dare you, a child with a yellow mouth, dare to be arrogant in front of me! Today I will tear down your shabby Taoist temple. Look at you.

What can you do to me?"

After saying that, one of the big man's legs was about to fall to the ground. Seeing how reckless he was, the people behind him couldn't help but look panicked, but they had no time to stop him.

"Li Lin, stop it!"

"Don't be presumptuous!"

"..."

The shouts were endless, but Li Lin still went his own way, thinking in his heart that he must expose this illusion and let the world see the old thief's face clearly.

As Li Lin's feet gradually fell, the young man's eyes became more and more fierce. Although his back was turned to everyone at this moment, the aura exuding from his body was so fierce that it made people shudder.

Li Lin froze, secretly thinking that something was wrong. This boy looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he was able to unleash such a momentum. It was definitely not easy, and at this time, he actually couldn't see his depth, but the matter was already here.

It will definitely be too late to retreat.

The young man's right hand, which was hanging casually by his side, instantly curled into claws. His retreating steps could not be seen clearly, but it appeared beside Li Lin at an incredible speed.

Li Lin was horrified. He had never seen such weird footwork and speed. At this time, he was locked by the young man and had no ability to resist at all.

"Young Master, please show mercy!" the middle-aged man said hurriedly and stepped forward quickly.

The young man tilted his head slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and ignored the middle-aged man.

"Who is this young man? I thought he was a child under the old fairy throne, but he had such terrifying eyes." The middle-aged man was horrified. He was anxious and at the same time silently calculating in his heart.

The young man didn't care what other people thought. He had said before that if someone forced his way in, he would have to pay the price. He had already said what he said, and he had to fulfill it, otherwise it would be the same as farting.

"call!"

The breeze blew, and the young man's hand was already on Li Lin's knee, and his fingers moved slightly.

"ah!"

Li Lin roared in pain, and the others changed their expressions.

Although Li Lin is not very powerful in the world, he is a member of the Li family after all. If he is revealed here today, it is likely to create a gap between the two families in the future.

"Please show mercy, little master!" The middle-aged man knew that Li Lin was at fault, but after all, the other party was from the Guwu Li family and came with him. If something happened, the Li family would definitely not lend a helping hand again.

, then my family will be unable to resist.

"well……"

A sigh came from inside the temple, and the young man was surprised to find that his fingers could no longer move forward. So he shook his head, released his palms, and retreated, keeping a certain distance from Li Lin.

"It's the old god!"

The middle-aged man's expression instantly became excited. Since he came forward, Li Lin's leg could be saved. At the same time, it also proved that the old man was very powerful. Even the young man who easily restrained Li Lin did not dare to act recklessly.

"The jade rings and flying swallows are all dust. Everyone, please go back. The old Taoist no longer cares about worldly affairs."

The voices in the hospital gradually became lower, and the middle-aged man said urgently: "Old god, please help me!" As he said that, he took out a jade pendant from his arms. The jade color was warm and moist, but it was not the best material.

There was no more sound in the audience. The middle-aged man was a little reluctant, and then looked at the young man again and handed over the jade pendant in his hand.

The young man was a little confused and thought to himself, why did you give me a jade pendant? Do you want to give me a gift through the back door? I am not the kind of person who accepts gifts casually.

The middle-aged man asked the young man to send him into the temple to the old god. The young man glanced into the temple, reached out to take the jade pendant, and stuffed it into his clothes.

"Old Immortal, my family has inherited this jade pendant for more than a hundred years. Our ancestors say that if there is a disaster, you can take this jade pendant to the Hidden God Mountain and ask the old Immortal in the temple for help." The middle-aged man had no choice but to do anything.

If the family can cope with it, they will never think of using the debt of gratitude passed down from their ancestors.

"Alas, I am old and my strength has been greatly reduced. I am afraid that I will not be able to solve your problems."

After the old god finished speaking, the middle-aged man suddenly became anxious, "Please the old god think of a way. If the opponent is not too strong, he will definitely not bother you."

"..."

There was no movement in the audience, everyone was waiting for the old god's response.

"..."

"Disciple, this time, it's up to you to go down the mountain and help them defend their formation."

After the words fell, everyone was stunned, including the young man himself.

"Ah?" The young man was stunned for a long time and couldn't react. The old man never let him go down the mountain. He said that he was not cultivated enough and going down the mountain would only make his Taoist heart dusty. Why did he suddenly change his temper this time and take the initiative to let him go?

Going down the mountain.

"What kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd this time?" The young man rushed into the viewing room and said angrily to the old man.

"I am a teacher for your own good. Look at you, you have never gone down the mountain since you went up. You are still young and you have not experienced the colorful world outside." When the young man was about to interrupt, the old man reached out to stop him.

He continued: "This is not your fault, so you should quickly pack it up and set off. Oh, by the way, you have nothing to clean up, so just leave as soon as possible."

The young man saw that the old man was very abnormal and noticed something was wrong.

"Old man, I think there's something wrong with you, and it's very wrong. You're not usually like this. Even if you buy groceries, you send them to Aunt Wu down the mountain. You never let me go down the mountain. What's wrong this time? Change your mind.

What?" The more the boy talked, the more he felt that there was something fishy here, and kept questioning him.

"Oh, you brat, my teacher asked you to go, just go and it will be fine. Why are there so many problems?" The old man turned his face and did not dare to look at the young man, but the young man was not willing to give up.

"I won't go unless you tell me." The young man seemed to be convinced by the old man and sat down on the futon beside him without haste, and then started to meditate.

"I think you have achieved great success in cultivating Taoism over the years, so you should go down the mountain to practice and get rid of the dusty mind, so that you can realize Taoism as soon as possible." The old man said seriously, but the young man didn't accept his words at all, and just stared at him quietly.

"Well, I'll tell you the truth, I actually owe their ancestors a favor. They come over with tokens, and it's hard for me to refuse." The old man said with a cheeky smile. Although it sounds unreliable, but

The young man had indeed been longing for the outside world for a long time. As he spoke, he took out the jade pendant that was not of high quality from the young man's arms.

"That's pretty much it!" The young man curled his lips. Seeing that the old man had taken away the jade pendant, he stopped asking for details. The old man would definitely tell him what he should say, and he wouldn't be able to find out what he shouldn't say no matter how much he asked.

A group of people outside waited for a long time and saw that there was still no movement inside, but they did not dare to go in and ask rashly, so they just kept waiting outside.

"Squeak!"

The door opened, and the young man changed into a clean light blue gown and walked out, "Let's set off now!"

Although he said it calmly, he was really excited and nervous in his heart. He was excited because he was finally going down the mountain. He had not been down the mountain for so many years. Of course, he was nervous because he was going down the mountain. After all, he had not left this place for many years. The flowers outside were beautiful.

What the world looks like is still unknown in his heart.

"this……"

The middle-aged man was a little hesitant. After all, a few people came to invite the old god with their ancestral jade pendants, but instead they invited a young man. He didn't know what his strength was. If he was far superior to Li Lin, he could still be considered helpful. If

With Li Lin's strength, I'm afraid the family will really be in danger this time.

But now there is no other way. The old god can't invite him. I hope this little real person can bring him a surprise.

After thinking about it, I decided to lead the way. Although this young man is young, if he is really capable, if he and the others entertain him well, he will definitely win favors in the future, and at the worst, he can become familiar with him.

The group of people walked down the mountain and saw several black business cars parked at the entrance of the village. Although the young man had never seen one, he had heard the old man talk about how he owned several of these big cars when he was wandering down the mountain before he was adopted.

"please."
