Chapter 1: Being Driven Down the Mountain

Fengming Continent, on a mountain on the edge of Dayan Country.

A five or six-year-old child was reading various books. His name was Long Yu. An old man wearing a torn Taoist robe beside him was teaching Long Yu how to read and write. Long Yu looked at every word the old man taught him with great curiosity.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed

Long Yu looked very polite as he sat in front of the old man. Long Yu looked at the old man with a harmless look on his face. "Master, what is cause and effect?"

The old man looked at Long Yu indifferently and stroked his beard. "In the mortal world, I saved you and raised you, which is the cause, and I need to see you off when I am old, which is the result." Long Yu looked at the old man in confusion, "Why did you give me a clock? Can't I give you a fan or wild fruit?"

The old man looked at Long Yu angrily and shouted, "Get out of here and don't disturb my sleep." Long Yu looked at all kinds of things flying in a mess within three kilometers outside.

Long Yu ran to the door, picked up the big bow, looked at the big eagle flying in the sky, pulled the bow to its full length and shot the arrow. Long Yu looked at the big eagle that had been shot and ran down the mountain.

The old man looked at Long Yu running down the mountain and shook his head, muttering, "Silly boy, it's time for you to get off the mountain."

Long Yu happily ran to the spot where the eagle fell. After a cup of tea, he looked at the injured wild goose with a smile on his face. Just as he turned around, a bundle fell in front of him. Long Yu looked at the stone.

He threw the eagle to the ground angrily, and looked at the old man with his hands on his hips. "You are so old that you are not satisfied with being shot at by the eagle. I don't have a clock to give you, but can I give you food?"

The old man turned around, looked at the dusk sky, and put his hands on his back. "Silly boy, do you have a dream?" Long Yu looked at the dying eagle on the ground, "What is a dream? Isn't it better to be a salted fish?"

"Even salted fish can dream of a day of turning over." The old man said this through gritted teeth.

Long Yu listened to the old man's words with a very proud look on his face. "A salted fish is still a salted fish even if it turns over. What's the difference?"

The old man swung his hand and blew Long Yu down the mountain. Long Yu fell to the ground with blood on his hands. Long Yu cried and ran back up the mountain. He hit the invisible wall and bounced back five or six meters.

Long Yu was angry. Once, twice, ten times, he rushed up the mountain desperately. This time, Long Yu crawled closer to the wall. Long Yu slapped the wall with his hands, and each time the wall was shaken open. Long Yu gritted his teeth and continued to slap. The last time it was shaken open, Long Yu fainted on the mountain.

Long Yu entered the dream. Long Yu saw the old man in front of him. Long Yu's feet could not move no matter how he controlled them. Long Yu shouted loudly, but the old man seemed to be unable to hear him. Long Yu was tired of shouting. He sat on the ground, hugging his thighs with both hands.

The old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Long Yu's helpless figure. Long Yu seemed to see some hope, and the old man waved his hand to signal Long Yu not to speak.

"Listen, silly boy. You have many disasters in your life, and one of them is very serious. This old man can't help you. You can only rely on yourself." After the old man said this, he closed his eyes.

Long Yu stretched out his hand and looked at the old man. "When can I see you again? How should I face these disasters?"

The old man shook his hand and the person turned into a beam of light and disappeared, leaving some words on the ground.

: After eliminating hundreds of thousands of demons and exorcising evil spirits, you will eventually become an immortal. Even though you are pierced by thousands of arrows in the world, you must never forget your original intention and love the people who are worthy of love.

Long Yu looked at the blurred consciousness in front of him, replaced by pain all over his body. Long Yu felt water droplets in his mouth. He opened his eyes and saw an old peasant woman.

Long Yu felt pain all over his body and couldn't say a word. The old lady saw that Long Yu had woken up. She looked at Long Yu kindly and said, "Young man, you are finally awake. I was scared to death."

Long Yu tried to speak, but couldn't utter a word. He felt so painful.

Long Yu lay in bed for three days. There were four people in the old lady's family. A man named Yan Ci was the old lady's youngest son, a woman was the old lady's widowed daughter-in-law, and a grandson who was five or six years old.

During these three days, I heard Yan Ci's family talk. This is a small mountain village on the edge of Dayan Country. Long Yu was rescued by Yan Ci and Yan An from the same village when Yan Ci went hunting in the mountains and passed by their ancestral grave.

Long Yu heard from Ma Spurs three days ago that a two-day snake appeared in the mountains and attacked the nearby mountain villages. Long Yu went in for three days to repair his body and his health improved a little. He could barely say one or two words.

That day, Ma Spurs went hunting with his fellow villagers. The old lady fed Long Yu some porridge. Long Yu vomited it all out and drank some water reluctantly. Long Yu was practicing Tianyan Heart Method in his body. When they were in the mountains, Long Yu liked to study the old man's formation. Now he had nothing to do but practice lying down.

Long Yu absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth according to the Tianyan Heart Method. The old man said that the absorbed gas went from the position of the Shenting in the head, through various meridians to the Dantian. Then it went from the Dantian to the whole body, which was considered a cycle.

Dantian is like a container of gas, and the compressed and absorbed spiritual energy can become internal force, which is also called spiritual person, spiritual master, spiritual sect, Mingchu, enlightenment, opening the way, knowing time, knowing the land, knowing the sky, leaving bones, leaving the body, leaving the heart, crossing emotions, crossing souls, crossing spirits. Overall, it means spiritual person, understanding the way, knowing the sky, leaving the body, crossing the calamity, and ascending.

Long Yu put all his heart and soul into cultivation, accumulating a lot of spiritual energy in his body every day, all of which he used to repair his body. Unconsciously, three months had passed. Long Yu was barely able to get out of bed, and for three months, apart from sleeping and cultivating, he just thought about the three sentences of the old man.

Long Yu understood the first two sentences, but the last one was not clear to him. Hearing the sound of a cock crowing, Long Yu hurriedly got out of bed and looked through the window at the half-moon outside. He opened the bag left by the old man and rummaged through the contents. Two sets of clothes, ten imperial coins, and a short jade in the shape of a dragon.

Long Yu looked at the things in the bundle and found nothing else. The old lady's child ran to Long Yu. In the dim light, he saw the child holding a piece of linen in his hand, and vaguely saw some words on it.

The child's red face and a pair of flawless eyes attracted Long Yu. Long Yu looked at the child and said something sharp. "What's your name? Do you want to learn to read?" The child understood what Long Yu meant and nodded quickly.

Long Yu looked at the sleeping Ma Spurs, took the child's dirty little hand and led him to the hill behind the house. Long Yu found some firewood and built a fire. Long Yu looked at the words on the linen cloth by the firelight:

In the 226th year of Shengwu, my son Long Yu and the daughter of the Wen family, Wen Bingbing, became engaged. Long Yu was not allowed to regret the engagement on his own.

Long Yu looked at the words on the linen cloth and pondered for a long time. The child beside him held his face and looked at Long Yu. Long Yu didn't know how long it had been before the wood in the fire burned off and a piece of red-hot charcoal splashed onto Long Yu's feet. Long Yu quickly jumped up and looked at the laughing child beside him.

Long Yu pointed at a word, drew a word on the ground, and taught the child to read it right and left at a time. Long Yu saw that the child looked very much like himself in the mountains. Long Yu saw that the child was very serious and always reminded himself of his childhood.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Long Yu and the child were eating roasted rabbit on the fire. Long Yu's body had almost recovered. The child gave him a name, Yan Rongrong. In the past three months, Long Yu went to the mountains with Yan Rongrong every night to hunt and practice martial arts.

Long Yu taught Yan Rongrong the mental method of the Heavenly Dao Sutras. Yan Rongrong's cultivation speed caught up with Long Yu's and was almost at the spiritual master level. Long Yu had just entered the spiritual master level for a few days. Long Yu looked at Yan Rongrong, who was eating with her mouth full of oil. He shook his head with a doting look.

Yang Rongrong looked so satisfied that Long Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The old man had said that some people in the world were greedy, some were ruthless, but Yan Rongrong in front of him was very simple.

After eating, Long Yu continued to practice, and the spiritual energy in his body was constantly compressed by Long Yu. The compressed spiritual energy was expanding the Dantian. Long Yu's Dantian was not like Yan Rongrong's, which would be saturated when compressed to a certain level, but would not be satisfied.

The sky began to turn gray, and Long Yu woke up Yan Rongrong who was still practicing. Long Yu put out the fire on the mountain and ran down the mountain with Yan Rongrong in his arms. Long Yu ran back to the house skillfully, and Long Yu put Yan Rongrong on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

After about a cup of tea, Yan Ci got up and walked to Long Yu's bed, patting Long Yu's body. Long Yu pretended to stretch, got up and washed. Yan Rongrong hid in the quilt, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh out loud.

Yan Ci was standing at the front door of the courtyard, holding a three-pronged long stick in his left hand and a rough longbow in his right hand. Long Yu seriously doubted whether it would break if he pulled it. Long Yu took his sword and walked to Yan Ci's side.

Long Yu followed Yan Ci with a harmless look on his face. Yan Ci was a man of few words. In the past six months, the most common words heard from Yan Ci were his instructions to Yan Rongrong.

About two hours later, Yan Ci took Long Yu to a deep mountain and hid in the grass. Long Yu and Yan Ci stood side by side in two directions, watching for any prey.

Long Yu looked at the grass in front of him, and the formation books he had learned in the mountains before appeared in his mind. Long Yu recalled the books one by one in his mind. When Long Yu recalled the third book, a wild boar appeared in front of him.

Long Yu patted Yan Ci's buttocks, Yan Ci turned around, Long Yu watched the wild boar step by step, approaching him. Yan Ci took out an arrow from his back, and Long Yu held the hilt of the sword.

The wild boar was getting closer and closer, and when there were still twenty steps left, Yan Ci shot his arrow, and Long Yu jumped out of the bushes, with the spiritual energy in his body surrounding the sword. Long Yu jumped onto the wild boar's back and slashed the wild boar's neck with his right hand.

I don't know if it was because the wild boar was too fragile or the sword was too sharp, but Long Yu cut the wild boar like cutting paper, without any resistance. The wild boar's body was still running forward, but its head had already fallen to the right.

Long Yu quickly jumped off the wild boar, and the wild boar's blood was scattered all over the ground. Long Yu looked at his sword, which was not stained with a drop of blood.
