This is a small village located at the foot of Heiyun Mountain. There are only about thirty households in this village.
Most of the people in the village came here to escape the war.
Because there is a century-old peach tree at the entrance of the village, it is also called Peach Tree Village.
At this time, under the peach tree at the entrance of the village, an old man and a young man were resting under the tree.
That young man's name is Shen Luo.
At this moment, he was listening attentively under the tree, and the old man beside him was telling those extremely bizarre stories.
"Old man, are there really immortals in the world?" Shen Luo opened his eyes wide and looked at the old man curiously.
This old man is not from their village. He came here about ten years ago.
The old man was in his eighties or seventeen, but he looked like a child with fair hair and an air of immortality.
On the surface, this man looks like an amiable old man, but in fact he is an extremely insignificant and bad old man.
He often drags Shen Luo to do some sneaky things, and sometimes drags him to peek at the widow at the east end of the village taking a bath.
Every time he was discovered, he was pulled out as a shield.
After all, he is a child, so others won't say much.
On the other hand, the old man made an excuse, saying that he found Shen Luo doing bad things and was caught by him.
Although Shen Luo is a child, he is not stupid, and he often makes trouble for the little old man.
Grandfather and grandson fall in love and kill each other.
"Baby, what do you think is an immortal in your opinion?" The old man leaned under the tree and said with a slight smile, squinting his eyes.
"Um……"
The old man's words made Shen Luo start to think. He had never seen an immortal before.
But he often went down the mountain to listen to other people's stories and learned some strange things.
"Immortal is an immortal!" Shen Luo thought for a while and then replied.
When the old man heard Shen Luo's words, he didn't reply immediately.
His eyes were cloudy and deep. After a while, he stroked the beard on his chin and said slowly: "Immortality is too elusive. Even immortals cannot live forever."
"You know again. How do you know if you haven't seen him?" Shen Luo pouted and said with a look of disgust.
The old man laughed loudly after hearing Shen Luo's words and didn't care at all about his words.
Shen Luo saw the old man suddenly burst into laughter for no apparent reason, "This old man must be crazy," he murmured in a low voice.
"My dear, what are you doing in front of me?" At this time, a dark-skinned middle-aged man came here carrying a hoe.
"Dad, why are you here? Have you finished your work?" Shen Luo asked when he saw it was his father.
"What are you doing? We have relatives coming to our house. Come home with me quickly."
Just like that, Shen Luo and his father went back together.
From what my father said, I learned that he had a second uncle who later became separated when he was fleeing famine.
Now he came to the door, and Shen Luoyi returned home.
I saw a tall middle-aged man wearing silk clothes.
"Brother!" The middle-aged man stood in the house. Hearing the noise outside, he turned around and saw Shen Luo and his son coming back.
"Brother!" Shen Luo's father looked at the man in front of him and hugged him with excitement.
Doing the math, the two brothers haven't seen each other for almost many years.
"This is my nephew!" The middle-aged man said happily when he saw Shen Luo on the side.
"Hello, second uncle!" Shen Luo shyly called out to this uncle whom he had never met before.
"Okay, okay, big brother didn't expect your child to be so old."
The middle-aged man looked at Shen Luo with a smile and looked him up and down.
Then he turned around and started reminiscing with his father, while Shen sat aside and watched silently.
Children are not allowed to interrupt when adults are talking.
From the conversation between the two of them, we learned that this second uncle came here a year ago.
In the town at the foot of the mountain, he met a wealthy daughter, and the woman somehow fell in love with him.
He just took off where he was and lived a wealthy life.
Later, he learned that a relative of his still lived in this mountain.
His second uncle's father-in-law had a good background, but he was an elder in a martial arts sect called "Black Qiong Sect" and held a high position of authority.
As he watched, Shen Luo, who was only 15 years old, had some plans in mind.
He wanted to send Shen Luo to the Jianghu sect to gain some experience.
As long as you become a disciple of a sect, you don't have to worry about food and drink and you can also learn martial arts.
Not only that, but you can also get one or two more loose silver flowers every month.
Moreover, with his father-in-law's relationship, Shen Luo could directly enter the sect without taking part in the test.
According to his second uncle, this "Black Qiong Sect" is a famous sect in the world.
Father Shen, who has always been honest and courteous, felt a little hesitant when he heard what his brother said.
The baby was still young, so he couldn't bear to go out like this.
But when he thought about it, he could use the back door to get some money, and he had some ideas in his mind.
He was his younger brother before him, so he shouldn't cheat him.
Shen Luo's second uncle was very happy when he saw that his eldest brother agreed and said he would take him away at noon tomorrow.
Shen Luo was very excited when he heard that he could join a sect and practice martial arts, and not only that, but also have money to spend.
In this era, it is difficult for a man with money to be a man without money.
Then his second uncle stayed and would personally take him away after lunch tomorrow.
Shen Luo was extremely excited that night, and the sense of anticipation made him sleepless all night.
The next day, Shen Luo got up in the morning and hurried out of the room.
Go to the old man's residence and tell him the news that you are leaving here.
"It's good to go out and have a little adventure." The old man touched his head and said with a smile.
"Old guy, you have to stay alive and wait for me to come back. When I have money, I'll treat you to longevity noodles!" Shen Luo said seriously, looking at the old man in front of him.
Although this guy always cheated on him, he still treated him well.
The old man was stunned. He didn't expect the young man in front of him to care about him so much.
Feeling warm in his heart, he smiled and said, "That's what you said. Don't blame the old man for eating too much and not being able to pay for it. It will make people laugh."
"Don't panic, we will be rich by then." Shen Luo patted his chest and said with great confidence.
"Because you want to treat me to some noodles, I'll give this to you. Take a look at it when you have nothing to do." After saying that, the old man took out a yellowed book from his arms and handed it to Shen Luo.
Looking at the yellowed and worn book cover in front of him, Shen Luo took it with his little hand.
"The Sutra of Immortality!" Shen Luo looked at the three words on the cover of the book and muttered.
"Old man, what kind of book is this? Why does it have the word "immortality"? Shen Luo looked at the old man with great confusion and asked.
"I didn't know, I picked this up from a Taoist temple," the old man said, spreading his hands.
"Tch, I don't want what the Taoist priest saw. Since you gave it to me, I reluctantly accepted it." Shen Luo imitated the old man's previous tone and said in a decent manner.
