"The Wonderful Story of Seeking the Immortal in the Mountain"

Copywriting:

In ancient times, there was a scholar called Chao. It is good to read "The Fate of Immortals", which is all about the love between humans and immortals. Suspicious, Gu Ming found out that he was looking for an immortal in the mountains. I met a white-bearded Taoist by chance and listened to what he said. Do what you feel.

Yesterday I dreamed of him, tears fell down my clothes and my jade bed was wet.

Looking out at the flowers alone.

There are only a few cold and withered trees, the loneliness is painful, and it is difficult to understand the sadness in my mind.

Jingye said that, but asked who was drinking wine under the moon?

Jiaoer's beautiful jade carvings are worthy of tears, but now she is smiling and sad.

Love and righteousness are gone, and all the red sleeves are cut off!

I revisit my old place and sigh about the past, and meet with friends in the South Pavilion to talk about it.

At night, I admire the flowers and see the red moon. I laugh and talk about how we all grow old together in this world.

--Dividing line--

It has been three days since I left the Yun family, and I heard an interesting story along the way.

The story is probably about a scholar who loved reading books about humans and immortals falling in love, and then he became obsessed with it and insisted on going to the mountains to look for immortals.

As a result, the immortal was not found, but a white-haired Taoist was found. He listened to the Taoist tell a story about the love between humans and immortals and became emotional and burst into tears.

The Taoist said that 100 years ago, a woman on earth fell in love with an immortal in heaven. Later, the immortal went to heaven and asked God to let him become a mortal, but in the end he did not return to the woman.

The woman is a beautiful dancer. She was sad for a long time because of the immortal's departure, so she made many mistakes in her performance.

In this way, she was spotted by a nobleman, and was named to dance at the banquet.

The woman was good at a kind of red-sleeved dance, which could only be danced in a water pavilion where the water just reached her ankles. The noble built a very gorgeous water pavilion.

I saw a woman holding the immortal's favorite jade flowers and performing a stunning red sleeve dance in the pavilion.

The white petals float with the water ripples, and the smile of the woman in red ripples in people's hearts.

Finally, the woman ended her life in this water pavilion.

After the Taoist finished speaking, he disappeared.

The scholar was very moved when he heard this story. He asked his friends to look for the original water pavilion together. Lament about true love in the world.

But what interests me more about this story is that it is said that immortals are musicians in the sky. After he was reincarnated as a human being, he became the royal musician of the Wang family, and accidentally saw the scholar's "The Strange Story of Seeking the Immortal in the Mountain". Suddenly tears filled my eyes and I composed the lyrics. At that time, the Wang family held a banquet, musicians played music, singers sang, and dancers danced. This show was brilliant and a sensation. All the women in the market imitated the singers and dancers, and the music was widely circulated.

It's a pity that the Wang family later declined and was annexed by Xinjiang. Music, singing and dancing were also lost.

Ah~ I also want to see the young ladies dancing~

Unfortunately, all I have now is the horse and the small scroll.

The horses also needed to rest, so I had to find an inn. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a man wearing Japanese clothes eating in the back room.

What a coincidence, you said, but it's the businessman who deserves a beating again. Hurry and hide the small scroll.

"What a coincidence we meet again. Your clothes are really eye-catching." I stepped forward to join in the fun.

"What? You haven't gone to Jinglingshan yet? Aren't you going home? You can't go back without the magic beads." The businessman didn't look at me and continued to eat his meal.

I looked at the ring on his hand that had previously stored the items, and then at what he was eating.

Gu~

Your unsatisfactory belly...

"What are you looking at..." The businessman stopped his chopsticks and looked directly at me, "It's none of your business!"

You deserve a beating! ! ! I was about to get angry, so I thought about ordering something delicious to let him know that I don’t care about your food. I’ll buy it myself!

"Boss! Give this guy another portion of what I ordered just now!" After finishing the meal, the businessman put down his bowl and chopsticks and shouted to the chef.

"Okay!" the boss yelled back.

Then he got up and left...

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't trick me! Just give me the money and then leave!" I was very thoughtful and there was no way to trick me.

"Hey, my young master. I am a serious businessman who only does serious business, and you have not given me any benefits. I have no reason to treat you to dinner... You pay for your own money, and someone will pay for my money. ." After saying that, he shook off my hand and walked out of the inn.

After a while, the food was ready, and it was served to me all at once...

How come you can sign up for the name of the dish if there is a large quantity... Then all the merchants ate it? ! !

No, it's impossible. We can't forget that he still has a treasure ring to store.

But this is too much. Can I finish it? Fortunately, I have enough money to pay...

"Sir, if you need anything else, just ask." The shop owner looked kind and kind, and his attitude towards others was modest. It’s hard for me to cancel the order...

I have no choice but to eat slowly. But after taking a few bites, I always felt that the taste was bland.

"Is there any chili sauce or something?" I asked aloud.

"Chili? What is chili? It's Sichuan peppercorns, right?"

? ? ? ? Is there no chili pepper in this other world? ? ? No chili? God, I should have thought of this. It was the same at my second uncle's house after time travel, and it was also the same at the Yun family. I thought they didn't like spicy food, so they tolerated light meals.

Who would have thought that people in this world don’t even know what chili peppers are? Doesn't chili peppers not exist? No!

"Boss, have you ever seen a red plant with a pointed head? It tastes spicier than garlic. It's chili pepper." I explained chili pepper to the boss.

But the boss seemed to understand and said, "If it's garlic, it would be."

"Then just garlic..." I had to compromise.

While the boss was going to get the garlic, I heard a quick running sound, and then there was the sound of the inn door being smashed.

"Who knows where a person wearing a kimono has gone!" The tone was grumpy and the voice was familiar.

I turned around and looked at the door. It was the Taoist priest who had banished the immortal.

"He just walked eastward..." I answered aloud.

The banished Taoist Priest said thank you and ran out again. He turned back before running four or five meters. I watched him walking closer and closer to me...

It wasn't until he came to me that he roughly grabbed my collar. At such a close distance, I realized that Banished Immortal Dao was so tall, and I didn't reach his shoulders...

"What are you..." I wanted to protest loudly.

"Okay! Have you learned how to disguise yourself?!" I saw that he was about to hit me with his fist.

"My hero, have mercy! My hero, have mercy! I can't hit someone without a slap in the face!!! You really have the wrong person." After I struggled, I realized that this man was really powerful.

"Haha, I started farting again. You are not afraid of polluting the environment! Stop pretending! How could I admit the wrong person? I just said kimono. If it were people here, they would ignore me at all. Only you..."

"Hero! Brother! Taoist priest! I...I am really not that businessman who deserves a beating. We have met...before..."

The banished Taoist Priest suddenly came back to his senses, "You are..."

--Dividing line--

"I didn't expect to meet that person over there. Did that guy tell you about the magic beads?" Taoist Priest Banished Immortal sat across from me, and we finished the meal together.

"Yes, he said that the magic beads can be found only by obtaining the treasures in Jing Ling Mountain." I was a little cautious and kept my voice low as I ate these tasteless meals.

"I guess you just came here looking like this. When I first came here, I didn't think the food was very delicious, but I got used to it after so many years." Taoist Exalted Immortal ate very quickly and ate a lot... This is still a human being ?

"Speaking of which, how did you travel through time?" With a snap, Taoist Priest Banished Immortal put down his chopsticks, and half the food on the table was gone... Is this possible?

"... I can say that this is my soul traveling... But let's not talk about the way I traveled... But my body should still be alive..." I am not sure anymore, what body is there after so long? It won't be gone...

"Should you? You didn't die over there!"

Although people were very angry after hearing the words of the banished Taoist Priest, they thought that I couldn't defeat him, so they had to sigh.

"What about you, Daochang? How are you wearing it?" I came back and asked him.

Taoist Banished Immortal smiled and said, "Don't call me a Taoist priest, you can call me big brother from now on..."

…Does this count as taking advantage of me?

"I was deceived and fell into a sewer while chasing the liar, but I came here with my body..."

I was surprised when the Exorcist Taoist said the last sentence, "Are you so good-looking over there?"

I looked at the face of the Exalted Immortal Priest again and showed a trace of anger, "You look so good!"

What a grumpy old man...his face completely deceived me!

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Since you are going to Jingling Mountain, why don't we go together? I still know the road here very well..." The Taoist Master suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."

"Me? My name is Yun Qishen." As soon as I finished speaking, I looked up at the Taoist Master, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"You really look like a troublesome person..." The Taoist Master's tone still sounded pitiful for me.

"Then what's your name, big brother? I, the boss, can't even call you big brother..."

"Just call me brother, because I have a special status here and can't reveal my name easily." The Taoist priest asked the boss to pack up the dishes I didn't finish.

"Let's take a rest here for the time being. It's getting late. I'll take you to Jingling Mountain with my sword tomorrow." The Taoist Master's attitude toward me suddenly changed in an indescribable way.

"Thank you so much, brother!" Of course I am very happy, so that I can find the magic beads and go home as soon as possible!

Brother, you are the immortal who saved me!

At night, I was bored and wanted to find a topic to talk to the Exalted Immortal Taoist Priest.

"Brother, how long have you been here?"

The Exalted Immortal Taoist priest frowned, "Anyway, it's been a few years."

"I've heard about a kind of red-sleeved dance these days. I wonder if I've seen it before, brother? It's rumored that the dance is beautiful and unique, but I've never seen it before. I'm quite curious..."

This topic doesn't seem to be to the Taoist priest's liking.

"Aren't you ashamed that you, a grown man, became such a bitch after traveling through time and space? I've never seen such a bad dance before."

The banished Taoist Priest is not a good person...I was confused by his appearance again...

"So, why does the elder brother keep chasing that businessman? Do you know him?" After saying that, I felt that I had said the wrong thing again...

The banished Taoist Priest slapped the table impatiently, "Who knows that bastard? Only he knows how to get back, and only he knows the whereabouts of the magic beads! Damn it, let him run away again! It's so annoying!"

Do you really want to be so grumpy? Can't you just talk calmly? My brother?

I think I'd better shut up... my little heart... take a few steps back.

"Yun Qishen!" Taoist Exalted Immortal suddenly called me.

"Hey!" I was scared to death.

"I see that you have met that guy a lot. Next time you meet that guy, be sure to hold him back. No matter what nonsense he talks about, pretend you can't hear it!" Taoist Banished Immortal Taoist priest waved at me. Waved his hand, "Come here, I'll teach you a spell."

I couldn't help but feel happy when I heard that the magic was taught? so good? Pidianpipian came forward.

The Taoist priest who banished immortals taught me this magic.

"What's the use of this spell?" I asked him after making sure I remembered it all.

"You will know it when you catch him. This spell can also be used to summon divine beasts by removing the second half. But..." Taoist Priest Banished Immortal frowned and looked at me, "When I just taught you the spell, I thought , you are indeed a person who has not cultivated spiritual energy. I regret it a little, no, I regret it very much."

"Don't say that, I can definitely do it!" I want to prove to everyone that I can practice Taoism! I can go home!

"That's all I answered like a man! Then I'll wait and see." Taoist Exorcist smiled.

Suddenly I heard some movement outside the window, probably the wind. Sprinkle, sprinkle, but not like the sound of wind.

"It seems that someone is following you." Taoist Exorcist seemed to understand everything.

"That……"

"It's better not to say anything. Maybe he's not a bad person..." Taoist Exorcist opened the window, and the wind blew in. The sound of sprinkles just now disappeared.

Someone is following me? Who could it be? Could it be the person who has been poisoning me? Brother said he is not a bad person...but I still doubt him.

What if this stalker acted while I was sleeping, poisoning me in the middle of the night?

The banished Taoist priest then left my guest room and returned to his place. I immediately hid the scroll in my sleeve.

Just as I guessed, the man came in while I was pretending to sleep. His footsteps were soft, but I still heard them.

"Takiyin!" I stood up quickly and threw out the scroll. The scroll restricted the man's escape route just as I thought.

The man had no choice but to rush out of the door. I was about to escape from him, but I couldn't run away at all. Damn it, I don’t have any energy at this time! !

As soon as the man left my house, he was hit by a cold sword light. The man's head was suddenly dislocated, and a large amount of black blood surged out of his body.

"Brother, didn't you say he was a good person? Why did you kill him?" My original intention was not to kill him, I just wanted to capture him and ask him who wanted to frame me.

"Who said he was the good guy following you? I see you're chasing him with great energy, so I'd like to help you." The Exalted Immortal Taoist Master shook off the blood on his sword and put it away.

I lit a candle from behind the door and leaned over to take a closer look. Although it was disgusting, I just wanted to know who it was, "Why is this person's blood black?" I carefully took off the person's mask. "he is!"

He is the boy who brings me tea every day at my second uncle’s house!

"Do you know him? Black blood is the characteristic of the demons of Xinjiang." The Exalted Immortal Taoist Master calmly observed the surroundings, "It seems that he is the only one here. Yun Qishen, please get out of the way. I will send him back to Xinjiang." .”

The Taoist priest who banished the immortal stretched out his hand and chanted a spell, and the surroundings of the corpse began to glow.

As soon as he made a fist with his hand, the body and blood disappeared.

"Brother, you are so great!"

"shit!"

Our movements for a while seemed to have woken up the boss.

"What happened to our guests?" The boss looked at the two of us from downstairs.

"It's okay, it's just that my little brother is afraid of the dark! He doesn't dare to go to the latrine alone!" Taoist Exorcist blurted out.

? ? ? Am I afraid of the dark? Go to the hut?

Alas, I feel more and more tired talking to this person.
