Zhang Yuqing was willing to spend some mana to sort out the Taoist priest's meridians and cure illnesses and pains, so he naturally wanted to impress him.

But he didn't intend to simply agree to his request to follow him.

Zhang Yuqing knows that people often don't cherish things that come too easily.

It is necessary to set up some artificial obstacles and difficulties for Taoist Lu, so that the latter can achieve his wish after going through hardships and dangers. Only then will he realize that immortality is hard to come by, and in the future he will be like an arm and a finger, and he will not dare to show off.

Therefore, he just said a faint "Huh" and neither responded nor rejected.

Lu Liang's back was sweating like rain. Seeing that the Immortal didn't respond, he secretly racked his brains and thought about what bargaining chips he could use to impress the Immortal.

"Master, master—" several young boys' tender voices sounded, but four Taoist boys stumbled forward, hurriedly hiding behind Lu Liang who was lying on the ground, and called him softly.

"Good disciple, please don't whisper or keep silent in front of the Immortal." Lu Liang turned his head and scolded softly.

"Wow, Master, you are much younger and your face is rosy. What treasure did the immortal give you?"

The most favored fourth disciple looked surprised and exclaimed.

…

At the foot of the mountain stream, a large group of people came shouting.

"Hurry, hurry, the immortal is on the mountain, I can really see it! That sword light is coming to Xishan!"

Several gangsters scrambled to climb the mountain.

They live close to each other and are originally from nearby villages. Now they are leading the way ahead of the crowd.

There was smoke and dust billowing in the background, and the people who were dedicated to the Tao dragged their families with them, wishing that their parents would have two more legs, running next to each other.

In the center of the official road there were several tall horses, carrying the young masters of powerful families. They were followed by servants who shouted and shouted, so that the people should not block the horses.

In normal times, everyone would be afraid of giving up power and would give in. But now that immortal fate is at hand, if you are slow, you are afraid of being overtaken. It does not matter whether you are the son of Wang Shangshu or Liu Shilang's family, you can just turn a deaf ear.

The official road, which was not spacious at first, was packed with thousands of people. There were even ordinary people who didn't know why they were having fun. They just heard people said that there were gods on Xishan Mountain and followed them to join in the fun.

Fortunately, Bianliang City is now under martial law and the city gates are locked. Only thousands of thoughtful people escaped. Otherwise, there would have been a stampede and countless deaths and injuries.

"Sister-in-law, the road is blocked by these killers, come here and there! Hold the horse for me, young master, I will dismount and run!"

A handsome young man was so angry that he roughly put the horse rope into the hands of his servant, turned over and dismounted, tucked his robe into the jade belt, spread out his long legs and disappeared into the crowd in an instant!

…

Zhang Yuqing was very smart and had extraordinary hearing. He had already heard the shouting and squeezing at the foot of the mountain. He was afraid that thousands of people were coming up the mountain, so he stood up and stepped on the flying sword, whizzing into the air and hanging in the air.

"Wait here." He told Lu Liang and others, looking down the mountain.

Climbing high and looking into the distance, I saw a crowd of people. The path up the mountain along the bluestone steps was connected and crowded.

He knew in his heart that this might be the immortal effect taking effect, and these people were rushing to receive the immortal fate.

Zhang Yuqing's mind moved, and an idea jumped out of her mind.

Why not test the attitude of the people in this aspect towards immortals, and do some preliminary work for the next development?

Now that he had this idea, he no longer hesitated and immediately used magic power to transmit sound and send the words to the ears of everyone in Xishan.

"One day in the cave, thousands of years have passed in the world. The great road has been obscured for a long time, who can know the truth of immortality? Since you are determined, whoever reaches the top first will get a share of immortality."

When the people heard this, they were in an uproar!

The immortal actually promised to grant him immortality?

Everyone who came here with a sense of luck suddenly became full of energy and geared up to compete hard.

"Get out of here!" A tall man with bare arms and a black beard viciously knocked over the young man blocking his path. The latter lost strength and rolled over on the steps, almost falling off the cliff.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuqing opened his eyes slightly and fired a burst of magic power.

The big man suddenly felt that his hands and feet were out of control, and he flew into the air lightly and plunged into the stream next to him.

"If you have an impure mind and do bad things, if you don't have the will to follow the path, you should be punished a little."

Zhang Yuqing's voice reached everyone's ears again. Suddenly, the expressions of those who originally wanted to use force to eliminate others tightened.

Especially those who saw what happened from a close distance were even more worried, knowing that this great immortal did not like others to take advantage of others' mistakes.

The young man got up, kowtowed to Zhang Yuqing, and continued climbing without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuqing did not hesitate to reward him and input a magic power to him with a wave of his hand.

The young man felt that his hands and feet were suddenly much lighter. He knew that it was the immortal who had taken action, and he shouted: "Thank you, the immortal, for your gift!"

Everyone saw that his climbing speed suddenly became much faster, and they understood and secretly envied him.

This kid is so lucky, but he just got pushed by someone and was like a fairy. If it were him, he would be broken and bloody!

But it seems that this immortal is quite reasonable. Such a pure-hearted immortal doesn’t know what the ‘immortal fate’ is! Is it possible that he can live forever?

Naturally, Zhang Yuqing couldn't help them become immortals. The purpose of his action was not because he couldn't stand the big man doing evil, but because it was in his interest to maintain the necessary order.

Although obstacles are deliberately set up for these people who seek immortality, it does not mean that they should be allowed to compete with each other without bottom lines and rules.

You must know that Zhang Yuqing's current level of cultivation is not high. He can barely project his magic power thirty feet away at the fourth level of Qi Refining. He is still unable to subdue or protect everyone in a single thought.

Only by clearly expressing your position to them and stopping certain excessive behaviors can we prevent such vicious incidents from happening.

Otherwise, once the friction escalates and bloodshed or even casualties occur, his status as an 'immortal' in everyone's hearts will inevitably be reduced.

At the same time, his mind quickly passed over the faces of the climbers, and he was identifying those people as his predestined "immortal destiny".

As the saying goes, every competition has an inside story.

Zhang Yuqing spent all his energy in performing this play, but of course he did not really want to help these mortals seeking immortality escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

He just wants to make those who he chooses to build his power feel that he has gained the destiny after going through hardships.

"This won't work. He's old and frail. At most he's a rich man."

"This is not bad. He seems to be from a powerful family. He may have read poetry and books, and he is devoted to Taoism."

"Although this man is very old and still needs someone to carry him up the mountain, he is wearing jade and gold. He should be a court official and has been included in the pre-selection."

The sword light shuttled back and forth. After selecting about twenty or thirty people among more than a thousand people, Zhang Yuqing pressed the sword light and sat upright in the sky.

The only way to the top of the mountain is blocked under the place where he is currently suspended. Anyone who wants to reach the top of the mountain must pass this mountain road about a hundred meters long.

While Zhang Yuqing was selecting candidates, everyone up and down saw the sword light in the sky, and their desire to seek immortality became more and more determined.

At the same time, many people with unclean hands and feet were identified, and Zhang Yuqing mercilessly picked them up with his mind and threw them into the stream.

The immortal's kindness and power and the methods of distinguishing between good and evil were also imprinted in everyone's mind, and everyone became more and more respectful.

Soon, the first group of people who went up the mountain arrived in front of Zhang Yuqing.

However, as their feet stepped up the steps, their entire bodies suddenly fell into a state of stiffness, their eyes blurred, and they seemed to have lost consciousness.

Zhang Yuqing secretly sighed: Although you are very fast, you have no connection with me, so I can only let you indulge in hallucinations for a while.

He has already released his spiritual thoughts, covering all areas within thirty feet of the surrounding area. Anyone who does not enter his eyes will be lost in the illusion.

"The technique of "Bewitching Gods" taught to me by fellow Taoist Ge Hun is quite easy to use. Although it cannot be used on immortal cultivators, it works well on mortals."

It is said that this is a spell created by a certain casual cultivator who could not survive in the world of immortality. He relied on this method to confuse several powerful people in the secular world and became drunk and dreamy.

Then one day, the wandering demon cultivator cut out his heart and liver and refined his soul.

Not long after, a fair-skinned young man wearing silk robes arrived at the top of the mountain.

He raised his head against the scorching sunlight and gazed at the immortal figure on the flying sword with bright eyes, infinite longing rising in his heart.

Although Yang Huaiyu is young, he has great ambitions.

He did not want to spend his whole life fighting for his family and country on the battlefield like his father did. In the end, he was ridiculed as a martial artist who was not as good as the good man who was called out outside Donghua Gate.

However, coming from a family of military generals, he did not intend to take the imperial examination and become an official. He was just obsessed with supernatural things since he was a child, and he wanted to cultivate immortality and become a Taoist.

As the saying goes, mortals have their limits. Only when you stop being human can you slap those civil servants hard in the face.

It's a pity that he donated thousands of guan to various major temples and Taoist temples, but he didn't learn even a little bit about how to cultivate Taoism and become a Buddha.

He was so angry that he made up his mind to kill Buddha and destroy Taoism. He hated the mention of the differences between immortals and Buddhas, and even his best friends did not dare to ask him to go to the temple with him to offer incense.

Only today, when that shining immortal figure unreasonably struck into his heart like a rainbow piercing the sun, did he, Yang Huaiyu, know.

There is no relief at all, it’s just a lie to myself.

It turns out that there are real immortals in this world!

So, without hesitation, he stole his grandmother Mu Guiying's favorite yellow gelding and rode straight towards Xishan.

Now, the immortal he had been chasing for ten years was standing in the sky above!

Yang Huaiyu looked at the countless sleepy people in front of him as if they were nothing, and took that step without hesitation!

In an instant, there was a bright light in front of my eyes.

Countless scenes came to mind, and he seemed to see himself being accepted as a boy by an immortal, breathing in and refining Qi, using the mountain as a furnace, refining the sun, making a golden elixir, swallowing it in his belly, and transcending the world.

After a while, he woke up with a sense of loss, looked around at the ordinary people who were still drowsy and lost in hallucinations, smiled to himself, and continued to climb up with firm eyes!

Zhang Yuqing also laughed secretly when he saw Yang Huaiyu being so cooperative.

'It's just a little strategy to deliberately interrupt the effect of some people's magic, so that they can firmly believe that they are immortals. This is a very clever plan.'

After a while, the first batch of people who fell into the illusion woke up one after another as the effects of their spells reached their limit.

"You are weak-willed and have no chance of immortality, so please go back."

Zhang Yuqing's voice sounded in everyone's ears again.

There is no other way. If they are not allowed to leave, this short area of ​​about a hundred meters will be completely blocked, and the people behind will not be able to squeeze in.
Chapter completed!
