Chapter 2 Fortune and misfortune come together, when immortals arise
Qin Shaoyou's home is very dilapidated, with only a thatched hut.
Several strings of long-haired dry food hung under the eaves of the thatched hut, and a straw hat hung on the dilapidated door frame.
The kitchen is an open-air shed built in the front yard.
The stove inside had long since collapsed. There was no rice in the jar in the corner, but half of it was filled with water. A frog fell into it at some point.
Next to the collapsed stove, there was another fire.
Qin Shaoyou cleaned the rabbit in his hand skillfully, then brushed it with some animal fat and put it on the fire to roast.
Not long after, the smell of meat spread from the small courtyard.
"Dad, dad, you said you have been hunting deer seeds for so many years, how can you save some money to marry a wife? But you, you gave away as much meat as you wanted to the wolves, but when you ascended, they didn't even come to see you.
Have a look!"
"This world is so hot and cold, that's all!"
When Qin Dashan was here, people in the village could eat game almost every now and then. At that time, the villagers were quite polite to the father and son.
As a result, once Qin Dashan left, they cut off their source of meat, but they repeatedly asked Qin Shaoyou to give them meat, as if it was a matter of course.
Qin Shaoyou's eyes turned red with anger, and he raised his hunting knife to chop them. Fortunately, Jiang Shuisheng took action to hold him back, and no big trouble was caused.
And now, in this village, the only one Qin Shaoyou can greet with a smile is Jiang Shuisheng.
He wolfed it down and stuffed the rabbit into his stomach like a wind and a cloud.
Then he took out the box from his arms, looked through it a few times, and then quickly returned to the thatched cottage.
The furnishings in the house are extremely simple, with a wooden bed covered with several layers of animal skins.
Qin Shaoyou returned to the bed, dragged out another wooden box from under the bed, and pulled out several exquisite ironware from the wooden box.
This is what he asked Jiang Shuisheng to do.
He opened the lid of the iron box and put these items in one after another.
As several "ka ka ka" sounds were heard, a look of excitement appeared on Qin Shaoyou's face.
“Finally made it!”
The iron box was assembled with several other items into a hidden weapon, and he named it "Chrysanthemum Needle"!
When activated, it can fire eighteen rounds of iron needles silently!
As a qualified hunter, you must always keep in mind the fatal weaknesses of your prey.
This concealed weapon is quite lethal, so it should be no problem for him to protect himself.
"With this, I feel a little more confident!"
A glint flashed in Qin Shaoyou's eyes.
He had been preparing this thing for nearly a year. It was a long way to Yunwu Mountain. Even though he had a hunting knife close by, if he encountered some unpredictable danger, he might have already been killed before he could get close.
Death to hell.
"I'll go to Daqingcheng tomorrow to exchange for some necessities, and I should be able to leave the day after tomorrow!"
He was planning this in his mind, and just when he was thinking deeply, there were suddenly several deafening loud noises in the sunny sky outside the house!
The space between heaven and earth seemed to darken in an instant!
Qin Shaoyou was shocked and immediately put away the box and rushed out of the yard.
At this time, the sky was already covered with dark clouds, and the dark clouds collapsed, as if they could be reached with a hand!
Thunder exploded between the clouds, and countless electric rays shuttled through it. The sound was so powerful that even the earth trembled!
Qin Shaoyou took a few breaths of air-conditioning and rubbed his eyes. Even though he was mentally prepared, when he really saw two figures passing between the clouds one after another, his heart still went up.
Throat!
Someone is really flying!
One is glowing blue, the other is glowing red, chasing between the clouds like two dazzling meteors!
"Fuck!~~"
Two long-lost characters burst out of his mouth. Seeing the two rays of light disappearing into the distance, he hurriedly grabbed the straw hat on the doorframe and rushed out the door!
After turning around a few times, his figure disappeared into the dense forest.
At the same time, the villagers in the mountain village were still looking at the sky in astonishment.
Who knows, this farewell will be the eternal separation between immortals and mortals!
"Boom~"
The heavy rain came as expected, distracting the eyes of secular people, and the whole world became hazy again.
Qin Shaoyou wore a straw hat and walked through the woods in the rain. Dazzling lightning flashed frequently, and soon the light spot flew to the other side of the mountain and left his sight.
Fortunately, he knew the terrain here well, and after thinking about it briefly, he ran towards a nearby cave.
This cave is very hidden. There is underground water in the cave. If you sneak for tens of feet, you can swim to the other side of the mountain.
The cave was not far from where he was. Not long after, Qin Shaoyou arrived at the entrance of the cave.
The messy weeds became a little listless under the wash of heavy rain.
The muddy water at the entrance of the cave rushed down along the cracks in the stones, and the low sound of water flow also came from inside the cave.
In normal times, he would not dare to go alone.
Qin Dashan told him this shortcut. Although he knew it, he had never actually walked it.
But right now, he doesn't care about that much. Even if the chance of encountering immortality is very slim if he continues to move forward, how will he know the final answer if he doesn't give it a try?
Qin Shaoyou took off his straw hat and threw it at his feet.
It was very dark inside the cave, and the deafening thunder behind him gradually faded away.
The young man waded into the water and walked deeper. The water became deeper and deeper until it submerged his chest.
"Whoosh!"
After crossing the shallow water area, the current in the deep water area was extremely turbulent. Qin Shaoyou took a deep breath and plunged in!
There are jagged and strange rocks everywhere under the water, and the further you go, the deeper the water becomes, just like a dark abyss, which makes people shudder.
Qin Shaoyou didn't dare to stay long, nor did he dare to look more.
He struggled to move forward along with the current, which was only a few dozen feet, but felt like thousands of miles.
Finally, a little light appeared under the water in front of him, like a beacon in the darkness, which suddenly ignited hope for the young man.
"Wow!"
Suddenly a figure appeared on the calm water, and he climbed up to the nearest shore panting.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that this was actually the lake in the dense forest!
Not only that, the sun was shining brightly in the sky at this time, and there were only a few white clouds swimming in the blue sky.
The sun shines on the water, creating waves!
Where is the lightning and thunder!
Qin Shaoyou swallowed subconsciously and was a little confused for a moment.
"What...what's going on?"
At this moment, a deep sound came from underground, and the huge lake trembled slightly, as if something huge was swimming at the bottom of the lake.
The young man's expression changed, and he immediately grabbed the hunting knife beside him and ran away.
I don't know how long it took, but by the time he stopped, everything around him had become a little strange.
Before he went hunting, the farthest he had been was Linzhong Lake, and this place was obviously beyond his usual scope of activities.
The two streams of light he chased had long since disappeared without a trace.
Qin Shaoyou looked at the sky helplessly, wondering if he really had no chance of cultivating immortality?
Also, immortality is hard to come by. How many people have spent their entire lives searching for such a path that defies heaven, and in the end, they all return to ruins?
"No, I can't give up!"
There was a look of determination in his eyes.
Qin Shaoyou's adoptive father, Qin Dashan, has lived in this mountain village all his life. The farthest he has ever been to is Daqing City, which is dozens of miles away. Although he took over this hunting knife, he never wanted to become another hunter.
!
Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh of relief, then found the direction and headed south.
Half a day later, he climbed up a small hill. Standing on the top of the hill and looking down, a small stream appeared at the foot of the hill.
The creek is gurgling and crystal clear.
Qin Shaoyou looked happy, followed the trend, and couldn't wait to jump into the water.
By the time he washed away the dust, it was already getting late, and the shadow of the moon was dancing.
Stars twinkled in the night sky and insects chirped in the woods.
The woods looked extremely quiet under the moonlight. Qin Shaoyou climbed up a tree and leaned on the trunk to fall asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but when he was sleepy, a muffled sound suddenly came from the distance.
That was the sound of a big tree being broken and falling to the ground.
Years of hunting told him that there must be some giant beast hunting there!
He was no longer sleepy and subconsciously touched the hunting knife on his waist.
Fortunately, he had washed the blood off the knife in the evening, otherwise if the beast smelled the blood, he would not be able to eat it and carry it away.
A giant beast that can knock down trees is not something he can deal with now.
Even if Qin Dashan were alive, he would definitely walk around carefully.
"Don't come here!"
So he thought.
But sometimes what you are afraid of just happens. The loud noise sounded again, but this time it was only dozens of feet away from him!
"Gu Gu Gu~~"
At the same time, in the dark night sky, several black shadows whizzed past his head one after another, and the strong wind almost blew him off the tree!
"what's the situation?"
He hurriedly held on to the tree trunk, and just as he muttered something in his mind, he saw a dark red blade of light flash past under the tree where he was, then continued forward and disappeared into the darkness!
Qin Shaoyou's pupils shrank suddenly.
Before he could be shocked, the tree he was sitting on fell to the side!
"boom!"
Qin Shaoyou was shocked and immediately adjusted his posture and jumped out to the side.
"Plop!"
He fell heavily to the ground, and in a hurry, the hunting knife on his waist left a cut on his hand.
"Depend on!"
Ignoring the pain in his hands, he immediately returned to the tree, staring at the broken spot with his eyes!
The cut surface is as flat as a mirror, and seems to be steaming. If you look closely, there are traces of red light dancing on it!
"This is...!"
"That red light?!"
Qin Shaoyou was ecstatic, with uncontrollable excitement on his face!
"It must be a cultivator!"
He hurriedly picked up the hunting knife that had fallen aside and strode towards the direction of the light!
In fact, he didn't need to carefully identify the direction, he just had to follow the fallen trees and move forward.
Qin Shaoyou walked forward for about a stick of incense, when he suddenly saw a figure beside a waterfall!
This figure was sitting cross-legged on a boulder in front of the waterfall, with messy long hair and his head lowered, motionless.
In front of that figure, three corpses were lying in a mess. One of them was chopped at the waist and broken into two parts, with his intestines flowing all over the floor!
A soaring smell of blood poured into Qin Shaoyou's nostrils. He felt a surge in his stomach, and he couldn't help but retched.
What did he see?
Was it a cultivator who was besieged by three people, and finally all four of them died together?
The pale moonlight shines on the waterfall, lighting up the surrounding scenery.
He almost forgot that those who cultivate immortality are not restricted by mortal laws. What they face are more primitive survival rules!
The strong one dominates the killing!
The bloody killings have just paved the way to immortality!
Suppressing the fear in his heart, he covered his mouth and nose with clothes, and then moved forward again.
The three people on the ground were already dead. Qin Shaoyou searched around but did not see the storage bag.
The clothes of the man sitting on the boulder were also soaked with blood. He was holding a white jade pendant in his hand, and the blood on the jade pendant had dried up.
It looks like he has been dead for a long time.
Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou noticed that the clothes of these four people were exactly the same. They seemed to come from the same sect?
But why do fellow sects have to fight to the death like this?
Just when he was a little confused, the figure who was supposed to be "completely dead" suddenly raised his head and looked at him!
I saw a strange red light emitting from the man's eyes. Under the moonlight, he looked like an evil spirit emerging from hell!
