Linhuan Pass
A majestic and tall palace stands alone on the bank of Huai River.
The wood used in this palace is a kind of undersea sacred tree called "Golden Red Willow". It looks resplendent and extremely luxurious, but the decoration inside the palace is unexpectedly simple and elegant.
The treasure hall is divided into one room and one hall with screens.
Behind the screen was the place where Yu Yuan practiced the Great Dream Heart Sutra. There was only a soft and large bed. The space in the hall was very open. Two rows of bookshelves were placed against the wall, filled with scrolls, animal skins, and jade slips.
In the middle of the hall is a soft and comfortable carpet, with a wooden desk placed on it and a calligraphy and painting on the opposite wall.
The graceful and beautiful handwriting has a unique character. At first glance, it looks like it is paved with ice and snow, but it is not the kind of chilling and ruthless bone-chilling cold, but the coldness of the snow-covered ground and the frost on the ground.
This calligraphy and painting was given to Yu Yuan by Our Lady of Jinling when he first became a disciple. There was only a big word "quiet" written on it.
Just looking at this painting and calligraphy has the magical effect of clearing the mind and meditating.
Of course, for Yu Yuan, it would only make him more upset, so he always turned a blind eye.
However, it was not him who was sitting behind the desk and looking at the calligraphy and paintings, but Huo Ling'er who had just arrived.
After hearing her request, Yu Yuan directly pulled her into the palace without saying a word.
Then he asked her to sit behind the desk and watch the calligraphy and painting quietly.
The bright morning light falls on the ground from the Xiaoxiao bamboo forest, and the mottled light spots gently move with the breeze, and occasionally shine diagonally into the hall.
Huo Ling'er put her legs together and knelt down on the futon, looking up and staring at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. Her eyes were round and big, and her black pupils were as lively as black crystals.
Her eyebrows are curved like the moon, and her delicate facial features are like finely carved jewelry. Her mouth is puffed out because of anger, and her cheeks are bulging, with a faint pink color, shining with an alluring luster in the morning light.
"How long do we have to watch for?"
Huo Ling'er reached out and rubbed his sore neck, muttering softly.
"Until I see you give up your evil thoughts!"
Yu Yuan said angrily: "Practice is like sailing against the current or climbing a mountain with a heavy load. You need to move forward step by step. How can there be a shortcut? The Taoist practice that is achieved by pushing the seedlings to encourage growth is like a castle in the air with no foundation at all. How can we get to the next level in the future? Floors?
It’s a shame that you are also a direct disciple of Jiejiao, how come you don’t even understand this truth!
Fortunately, these words were only meant for me to hear. If your master heard them, I'm afraid you would be angry to death! "
"According to what you say, aren't you harming Bai Ling by helping her practice?" Huo Ling'er said unconvinced.
Can you be like her?
That person has racial talent!
Yu Yuan thought to himself.
But saying that would be a bit too hurtful.
And he could also see that Huo Ling'er didn't know what Bai Ling meant by "cultivation", otherwise no matter how bold she was, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to say that.
"You're still young, and you can't grasp that kind of practice yet..." Yu Yuan considered his words and said as tactfully as possible.
"How am I too small?" Huo Ling'er turned around and glared at him displeased. Because of her sitting position, her red dress tightly wrapped her exquisite and convex figure, just like a rising flower. Fiery red lotus.
That inadvertently revealed charm made Yu Yuan suddenly realize that this senior sister had really grown up.
"Ahem..." Yu Yuan coughed twice, "No, no, you are the boss, right?"
Before he finished speaking, something suddenly moved in his heart. He reached out and took out his bronze mirror, and saw a brief message appearing on it.
[Xun: Senior brother, come to the thatched cottage quickly, we have something important to discuss! 】
"What baby is that?"
Huo Ling'er looked over curiously.
"A messenger spirit treasure...Junior brother, he wants to see me if he has something to do."
Yu Yuan said as he stood up and walked out.
There are only nine bronze mirrors. Yu Yuan has no plans to give them to Huo Ling'er for the time being. Instead, he asked Ao Yi to run an errand a few days ago and send a bronze mirror to Qingqiu and give it to Bai Ling.
It was precisely because of this that Huo Ling'er knew that Yu Yuan was in Linhuan Pass, so he said goodbye to Bai Ling and rushed over from Qingqiu without saying a word.
It can be seen that she has indeed gained experience following Bai Ling in the past few years.
In the past, she would never have dared to walk so far alone.
Even though she possesses the Golden Immortal Way and has many spiritual treasures to protect her, she can almost walk sideways in Nanfangbu Continent.
"What happened?"
Huo Ling'er's eyes flashed, and she stood up curiously to follow.
Yu Yuan didn't give her a good look, and said angrily: "You should calm down and reflect here first, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
"Okay, okay, why are you so fierce?"
Huo Ling'er curled her lips and sat back down, but there was no annoyance in her eyes. Instead, there was a little joy shining in her eyes.
…
When Yu Yuan came to the thatched cottage, he saw that many villagers were already surrounded in the woods outside.
In front of the thatched cottage stood a few dusty human race people.
The leader, an old man with gray beard and hair, was talking to Wen Zhong.
Speaking of excitement, he knelt down with a "pop" sound. Perhaps because he was too eager, he couldn't stop coughing, and his face turned as red as blood. In the end, Wen Zhong used his magic power to help him mix it up. breath.
Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, seeing that these people's ragged clothes, sallow complexions, and thin skin were quite different from the mental outlook of the villagers in Linhuanguan Pass.
This should be a few outsiders.
"Exalted Immortal, you have great supernatural powers. Please show mercy and save us!" As soon as the gray-bearded old man recovered, he immediately kowtowed to Wen Zhong.
Wen Zhong nodded slightly and stretched out his hand to help him up. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Yu Yuan's figure through the crowd and quickly sent a message from his soul:
"These villagers have come all the way from Jinshuiguan to ask for help. They say that there is a mountain god doing evil near Jinshui Pass. He wants to marry a wife and concubines every few months. The local people are miserable. Senior brother, see if I can..."
"go Go."
Yu Yuan knew what he wanted to say.
Back then, I heard that Zhongke had sworn to kill all the evil gods for the human race.
How could he turn a blind eye now that he knew that an evil god was causing trouble thousands of miles away nearby?
"By the way, you can use this rope chain."
Yu Yuan gave him the trapped dragon rope he got from Wuzhi Qi.
This is a spiritual treasure of humane merit, and he can’t use it even if he keeps it for himself.
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Wen Zhong thanked him repeatedly, then looked around at the villagers who were looking at him eagerly, and said sternly: "No matter when and where, as long as you let me know that there is an evil god causing trouble and harming the people of my human race, then I, Wen Zhong, will definitely take care of it to the end. !”
"Very good!"
"Thank you, God, for your mercy!"
The few villagers from Jinshui Pass knelt down to express their thanks, and the people from Linhuan Pass who were watching were also full of praise.
"Big fat!"
Wen Zhong called out, and Dangkang, a man with a green back and fangs, ran to the front of the thatched cottage.
The huge elephant-like figure whipped up gusts of wind, which really frightened the few Jinshuiguan villagers.
Soon, Wen Zhong rode Dangkang and led the few Jinshuiguan villagers into the sky and sped away into the distance.
Seeing this scene, Yu Yuan nodded secretly.
Wen Zhong's personality is somewhat similar to Yun Zhongzi's. They both have personalities that accept death and have a strong sense of justice, and they can't get rid of the sand in their eyes.
Once they decide on something, they will never waver easily.
Now Wen Zhong no longer cares much about the journey to immortality, and he only focuses on revitalizing the human race and slaying the evil gods.
In fact, many human beings have become immortals through practice.
Even in the prehistoric times, human immortals had a special name - human immortals.
It's just that few of these human immortals continue to stay among the human race. Most of them live in seclusion in the mountains and wilds, not seeing the world.
Even if there are immortals who stay, most of them do it to borrow the luck of human beings to practice, or seeing that the golden immortal way has no hope, they simply turn to the incense and fire divine way to gather the power of faith of the human race.
It can be said that there are very few immortals like Wen Zhong who are truly willing to stay in order to revitalize and protect the human race.
At least before this, Yu Yuan had never seen it.
Although Wen Zhong has become an immortal, he does not seem to have the consciousness of being an immortal, but still regards himself as a human being.
…
The mountain god in Jinshui Pass is not very powerful. Wen Zhong has two spiritual treasures, the Wu Peng Fan and the Trapped Dragon Rope, to protect him. The mountain god can't do anything to him.
Wen Zhong did not take action rashly. He first went to investigate the mountain god and found that it was just a gray wolf that had become a spirit. He was cruel and bloodthirsty. In the name of marrying a wife, he actually thirsted for human blood to practice some sinister magical power.
So Wen Zhong sacrificed the trapped dragon rope without hesitation, and after catching it, in front of many people in Jinshui Pass, he fanned the Wu Peng fan and burned it to ashes.
The people of Jinshuiguan were filled with joy and sorrow, and were extremely grateful.
To Wen Zhong's surprise, after the incident spread, people from nearby cities and gates came all the way to Laihuanguan for help.
Wen Zhong also refused to refuse anyone who came. As long as someone asked for help, he would rush over to check.
If the news was true, he would publicly execute the evil deity.
The people were grateful to him, praised him profusely, and regarded him as their savior.
Through their word of mouth, more and more people know about Linhuan Pass.
It is very safe here, the land is fertile, the water is abundant, and there are many wastelands that can be cultivated. As long as you come here, you can live and work in peace and contentment.
The most important thing is that not only do you not have to worship evil gods here, but you can also learn various skills from that immortal!
As a result, people from many city gates near Linhuan Pass rushed to Linhuan Pass with their families.
At the same time, a seal from Chaoge also arrived at Linhuan Pass.
The content of the title is very simple, that is, Wen Zhong, as a descendant of the Wen family, was officially canonized as a viscount and given the title of living in Linhuan Pass.
With this imperial edict, Linhuan Pass was no longer directly ruled by the Shang Dynasty, but became a fiefdom of Wen Zhong, who only needed to pay a symbolic tax.
To the great merchants, Linhuan Pass was just a dispensable wasteland. Even Wen Zhong himself only asked for such a volume of seal from his family just for convenience.
But for Yu Yuan, this is the starting point of a Yangyang dynasty!
