Qixia Mountain is not too high, and there are large areas of red maple trees on the mountain. In late autumn, the mountain is full of red, which is very beautiful, like a sunset glow on the mountain, hence the name of Qixia Mountain.
In the early morning, a carriage slowly stopped on the path at the foot of Qixia Mountain. An old man dressed as a Confucian scholar got out of the car, followed by two children about ten years old. The boy was wearing a green shirt, with dark skin and an ordinary appearance, dressed like a scholar; the girl was wearing a light pink skirt, with a thin body and a slightly pale face. The three of them were exactly Mr. Lu, Lu Yu and Liu Yiyi who had already driven half a month away.
"Grandfather, is this Qixia Mountain?" Liu Yiyi asked obediently while holding the old man's big hand.
"That's right, I haven't been to this place for thirty years. I didn't expect that nothing has changed here, except that I'm getting old." The old man said with emotion.
"Grandfather is not old. From Yiyi's point of view, grandfather looks to be in his thirties." Liu Yiyi flattered her right at the right time. The coaxing old man laughed out loud and praised Liu Yiyi for being cute.
Lu Yu was fascinated by the dense figures at the foot of the mountain in the distance. Can't help but feel a sense of emotion, everyone wants to become a fairy, and the way of immortality is vague, and it is still unknown whether he can set foot on the way of immortality. Even if I have no chance, I will embark on this fairy road. Lu Yu has such a stubborn character, once he decides on something, even ten bulls will not be able to pull it back.
"Yu'er, what are you thinking?" Seeing Lu Yu in a daze, the old man asked.
"No... nothing. Grandpa, let's go too. Lu Yu took a deep breath and suppressed the negative emotions in his heart.
The old man nodded and said a few words to the old housekeeper. Holding Lu Yu with one hand, and Liu Yiyi with the other, they walked towards the crowd at the foot of the mountain.
Only when the three of them got closer did they realize what it means to be crowded with people, and there is almost no place to plug in. Most of these people sat on the ground in groups of three or four, and some had no place to sit and could only stand. Even the nearby big trees were "sitting" full of people. Almost all of these people are accompanied by a child, of different ages, but it seems that they have not reached the age of weak crown.
"There are a lot more dolls this year than 30 years ago." Mr. Lu led the two of them into the crowd and sighed.
"Yes, I counted them this year, and there are about five hundred dolls. It's almost double what it was thirty years ago." A middle-aged man beside the old man said in a low voice.
The old man looked at the man in surprise, the meaning in his eyes was obvious. Thirty years, you are still a brat.
"Old man, don't you believe it." The middle-aged man saw the old man in disbelief. Quickly defended: "Thirty years ago, I was the same as these dolls. It's a pity that the immortal said that I have no destiny."
The old man pointed to the little boy who was about eight or nine years old beside the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "So you place your hopes on your son. Hope he will have a fairy fate?"
"Old man, to tell you the truth, some of our ancestors were immortals." The big man said mysteriously.
"Oh?" The old man suddenly became interested, because the two children who were destined to be immortal thirty years ago were descended from immortals.
"Don't you believe it. The fairy of our ancestors returned to the family after becoming a fairy. He helped the family at that time create a considerable foundation. It's just that a hundred years later, the ancestor passed away, and the family fell down again." Big Han It's embarrassing to say this.
When Lu Yu and the old man heard this, their hearts were shocked. In their impression, immortals should live the same life as heaven and earth. How could he die after only living for a hundred years? Such a lifespan is only slightly better than that of ordinary mortals.
Lu Yu asked in disbelief, "Uncle, don't immortals live forever? How could they die?"
When the big man saw a child, he didn't believe his words. He snorted and said, "Don't you know that immortals also have high and low realms? Only those with the highest realm can live forever."
"Ah..." The old man was also very surprised. He asked again: "My little brother, I really don't know that there is a difference between immortals and their realms. Can you tell me a thing or two."
Seeing that the old man really wanted to ask, the big man said with some embarrassment: "Old man, to be honest, I only know a little about immortals from the diary written by that ancestor. I don't know too much about other things. But immortals have different realms. , lifespan, and mana are all very different. As for the others, I'm not too clear."
Mr. Lu asked the big man some other questions about the immortal, and found that the big man really didn't know. Then the two chatted about other topics in different directions.
Lu Yu and Liu Yiyi stood aside, listening to the conversation of the two adults. Lu Yu couldn't calm down for a long time. The big man said that immortals also have different realms and life spans. This broke his consistent impression of the immortality of immortals. It seems that this fairy is really not so easy to be.
At noon, I suddenly heard the person on the tree shout: "The immortal is here." Immediately, the crowd below were discussing. After a while, three immortals floated from the sky. Landed in a clearing in the distance. The three immortals are still one old and two young. One of the young men pointed at the long sword with his hand, and the long sword hummed suddenly. It turned into a blue light, cut off the surrounding trees and weeds one by one, cleared a circular open space, and then flew back to the young man's hand. There was another commotion among the people below.
The old man glanced at the crowd, and said lightly: "Just let your children come to this open space. You can just stay where you are."
As soon as the voice fell, many children left their parents and walked towards the circular open space in the middle. Lu Yu and Liu Yiyi bid farewell to the old man and walked towards the open space hand in hand.
After a while, the open space was full of children.
"Uncle, there are many more candidates for this year than in previous years." One of the young men said respectfully to the old man.
"I hope to pick someone with better qualifications this year." The old man said lightly.
Seeing that the children had all stood up in the open space, another young man asked the old man for instructions: "Master, can we start?" The old man nodded, indicating that it is time to start.
The young man glanced at the children below, and said in a gentle tone: "Later later, I will move you here one by one with magic. Don't struggle or make noise." Then he pointed to the old man and addressed the children below. Said: "You will be judged by the elders one by one when you stay. If you have a fairy fate, you can stand aside. If you don't have a fairy fate, you can go back to your relatives. You can hear clearly." The young man seemed to speak softly, but in fact Every word came clearly to everyone's ears.
"Listen clearly." The children below replied in unison.
The young man nodded in satisfaction, put his left hand behind his back, muttered something, then grabbed the air with his right hand, and a boy in the front row flew into the air, slowly "floating" in front of the old man. Such a scene immediately stunned the children below.
The old man closed his eyes and gently placed a palm on the child's head. After a while, the old man opened his eyes, and said "no" indifferently. The little boy walked towards his relatives dejectedly. Immediately afterwards, the young man "caught" more than 20 children, but still none of them had a fairy fate. It wasn't until the hundredth child that the old man said something different: "Double sword spirit root, yellow rank." Another youth brought the little boy behind the old man. The hundreds of envious eyes below looked at the little boy. The little boy also looked to be more than ten years old, with a smug expression on his face, and made faces at his companions below from time to time.
I don't know if it was because of good luck, a little girl stood next to the little boy before with a single sword spirit root.
Lu Yu and Liu Yiyi were in the middle. It wasn't until about 300 children passed that Lu Yu felt his whole body tense, and then his body flew towards the old man. Lu Yu suddenly raised his heart in his throat, for fear that he would fail the test. The old man didn't even look at Lu Yu, closed his eyes, and put his hand on Lu Yu's head. Lu Yu felt a cool breath spread from the top of his head to his whole body in an instant, and his whole body was indescribably comfortable.
"Uh..." The old man pondered for a while, but did not speak. Lu Yu's heart tightened, and he felt as if he was about to suffocate.
"Single spirit root, yellow rank." The old man said lightly. The young man was taken aback when he heard this, but he still took Lu Yu's hand and stood behind the old man. Only occasionally looked at Lu Yu with pity. Lu Yu's heart trembled, and he felt that there must be something wrong. But no one told him, and he didn't dare to ask aloud.
Liu Yiyi was "caught" by the youth after him. The old man still slowly put his hand on Liu Yiyi's head, and Liu Yiyi looked at the old man curiously. By the way, he stretched out a thumb to Lu Yu, and said something to Lu Yu silently. Lu Yu knew in his heart that what she said was "Brother, you are really good." Lu Yu smiled wryly in his heart. Looking at the expressions of the old man and the young man, his condition must not be very good, but he didn't know how bad it was.
"This is..." The surprised voice of the old man interrupted Lu Yu's meditation. Lu Yu followed the prestige and saw the unbelievable expression on the old man's face. The two young men also walked up to the old man and asked what happened. Only Liu Yiyi looked at everyone blankly.
"Uncle, what happened?"
"Four spiritual roots, heavenly level." The old man slowly removed his hand from Liu Yiyi's head, and said in a trembling voice.
Both young people looked at Liu Yiyi with disbelief. Liu Yiyi asked curiously: "Grandpa Immortal, what is the Four Spirit Roots? It's heavenly." When the old man heard Liu Yiyi calling him that, he immediately laughed, held Liu Yiyi in his arms, and looked kindly at Liu Yiyi. Yiyi said: "Spiritual roots are divided into four levels: heaven, earth, xuan, and yellow. And you are the best sky spirit root, and there are four more. I am the one who can rank in the top three since the founding of our Sword Sect Qualification."
Lu Yu heard this from the side, and suddenly understood in his heart. It turns out that my aptitude is the worst, no wonder that young man has that expression on me. However, no matter how bad it is. People do it once, I do it a hundred times. I don't believe I'm worse than others. Having made up his mind, Lu Yu's expression gradually relaxed.
But Liu Yiyi turned her head and shouted to Lu Yu: "Brother, I can be a fairy like you."
Lu Yu extended a thumbs up to Liu Yiyi and said with a happy smile, "You are still the most powerful fairy."
The old man looked at Lu Yu with disdain, but did not speak. I sneered endlessly in my heart. The aptitude of the two is really different. I really don't know why the gap between the two brothers and sisters is so big.
In the next test, none of the children were able to pass again. After the old man tested all the children. He said to the two men and two women standing behind him: "Go and say goodbye to your relatives. Then you will return to Yujianzong with me."
The four of them hurried to their relatives, while Lu Yu brought Liu Yiyi back to his grandfather.
The grandfather was full of joy, and said happily: "You two are really good. I really didn't embarrass my grandfather."
The two knelt down in front of their grandfather and kowtowed three times.
Lu Yu's eyes were red, and he said reluctantly: "The grandson is not filial, and cannot always be with his grandfather. Grandpa must take care of himself!"
Liu Yiyi cried and said, "Grandfather, Yiyi misses you."
The old man helped the two children up, held them in his arms, and remained silent for a long time.
It was not until the young man came to urge them that they reluctantly bid farewell to their grandfather.
The young man brought the two to the old man, and the two children had already returned. The old man didn't say much, he flicked his sleeve, a white light flew out from the sleeve, and then the old man muttered something. The white light suddenly turned into a gigantic giant sword. The old man made the four of them sit on the sword while he stood on it.
Hearing a low shout from the old man's mouth, the giant sword suddenly disappeared into a shadow of a sword. Tens of feet away, the sword light flashed, and the giant sword flashed. It disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the two young men also stepped on their swords and followed closely behind.
Grandpa Lu still stood at the same spot, watching the sword light disappear into the sky, he was already in tears, and said in a voice that he could only hear: "Yu'er, Yiyi, I wonder if grandfather will see you again in this life?"
