In the sixty-fourth year of the Xia Dynasty, autumn had just passed.
Gu Dan left the Xia Dynasty, which he had guarded for more than sixty years, and headed for the Buzhou Mountains.
He became what he was before, moving forward with determination.
Along the way, never look back.
The howling wind blew past his ears. He was alone, like a wild goose in the sky, flying alone, with the mountains and rivers flowing behind him like a river.
The sky is clear and the light is shining.
He no longer appreciated the scenery along the way. He had seen too many things in the world and was a little tired.
Only when a few of them got tired of traveling, would Gu Dan leave the world and walk to the city to taste the food and wine of foreign countries, but he did not stay for a long time.
Occasionally, I encounter people who are seriously ill, but they just do it secretly and don't show their whereabouts.
Although they are in a foreign country and their accents have changed slightly, the difference in language is not too big, and even the words are rarely different. The biggest difference may be that the clothes are more unconventional, but it cannot be said to be unfamiliar.
Mr. Ji's guess is probably correct. A long, long time ago, there probably was an extremely powerful force that controlled the entire world.
Therefore, the creatures living in this world today, even if they are thousands of miles apart, and people from the two countries have never met each other in this life, they are still using the same language and words.
It's just that few people want to understand the reasons behind this. Everyone has their own things to be busy with. The glory of the past is just gone, but what about today?
He is just a lonely traveler thousands of miles away, a carefree wanderer in this world. He stops for a short time and is destined to move further.
Traveling along the way, I occasionally stop by the mortal world and inquire about it a little.
No one can compare to Xia Chao.
This actually makes Gu Dan a little proud.
The efforts of him, his friends, and his juniors are already remarkable.
In an almost non-stop state, when Gu Dan finally arrived at the country surrounding the Buzhou Mountains, he finally saw the bulging mountains in the distance.
Even high in the sky, Gu Dan couldn't see the end at all.
What a magnificent mountain range that is!
It was as if a huge thing stood at the end of the world, blocking the earth.
The smoke touches the green, the morning glow makes the shirt, and even the sun seems to be just a beacon hanging in the sky to illuminate a small area.
This is the legendary Zhou Mountain in the Xia Dynasty.
But it has collapsed and turned into the Buzhou Mountains today.
But even if it collapsed, it was still lying between the sky and the earth, blocking it like a crawling beast that could swallow up the sky and the earth.
When his eyes truly came into contact with the Buzhou Mountains, even just for a moment, Gu Dan finally understood how powerful it was.
Neither majestic nor towering can be used to compare its magnificence, it seems like something that should not appear in the world!
"Is this the Buzhou Mountain Range?"
Gu Zhenshen felt a little trembling. Even the Grand Master was so insignificant and like a mayfly in front of this absolute wonder of heaven and earth.
He came down from the sky, and since he could already see the Buzhou Mountains, it was really close.
If you fly over again, it will be easy to expose yourself. After all, there are foundation-building monks in the Buzhou Mountains. Although Gu Dan is not afraid, he does not want to meet them face to face.
His outfit was the same as when he first left the Gu family courtyard, but after he came down, his appearance immediately changed. With the skill of disguise, even if Xu Zhian came over, it would be impossible to recognize him.
Not only his appearance, but also his figure was slightly taller and his muscles were bulging. At first glance, he looked like a trainer.
This time Gu Dan made his appearance much more ordinary, no longer as dazzling and attractive as before.
When you go out, you have to be careful.
He even changed out of Liuyun Zhuiyue's clothes and put on an ordinary black robe.
Staring at his new self in the mirror, Gu Dan touched his beard and commented with satisfaction: "Well, it's not bad."
Calculating the time, it should be the sixty-ninth year of the Xia Dynasty.
It takes ten years for the Grandmaster to travel, and Gu Dan has traveled a little more than four years.
Thirty-one years have passed since the World Chamber of Commerce arrived in the Xia Dynasty.
However, although the language and characters are the same, the record of the year is too confusing.
Each place has different year records, and it is quite troublesome to convert between them.
But since the Buzhou Mountains can already be seen here, the influence of the Buzhou Mountains has naturally radiated away.
The year used here is quite uniform.
The seventy-ninth year of immortality!
The day when the stars fall from the sky on a full moon night is regarded as the dividing time of the year here.
That day was also the day when Mount Zhou collapsed, causing the destruction of dozens of surrounding countries.
It’s just that people’s reproductive capacity and adaptability are also extraordinary. It’s just that seventy-nine years have passed, and now there is a huge flow of people. There is no trace of the tragic disaster that destroyed dozens of countries decades ago. here.
"Thirty-one years have passed. Apart from traveling time, Qing Pingzi and the others have been developing here for twenty years."
Gu Dan looked at himself, a complete stranger, and murmured to himself, "I wonder if Qing Pingzi is still alive?"
When news of the Buzhou Mountains reached the Xia Dynasty, Qing Pingzi had already reached the end of his life as a master.
It is better to borrow the power of Dayong's bone to forcefully extend his life, but the price is also very heavy, and he is not like a human being.
Even so, this kind of forced life extension has its limits. After so long, if Qing Pingzi has made no progress on the immortal path, Gu Dan might just come over and collect his body.
And it is worth mentioning that before Qing Pingzi left, he secretly took away the bone of Dayong.
The royal family of Dayong also sent people to Gu Dan to cry and complain. However, Gu Dan had already left the Gu family courtyard with Gong Shangguo at that time. Dayong really broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach. There was no reason to say anything.
In addition to Qing Pingzi, there are also relatively familiar people such as Zou Dan and Zhuang Sheng. If nothing else, they are also here.
Therefore, this place is not a completely unfamiliar land to Gu Dan. This is the real reason why he wants to change to the Liuyun Zhuiyue uniform.
When you go out, people's hearts are evil, so how can anyone not wear a vest?
What does Gu Dan of the Xia Dynasty have to do with me?
"Now, I'll call."
After thinking for a moment, Gu Dan thought of a good name, "Just call me Kong Zhai!"
He changed his clothes, rearranged his appearance, and adjusted his body shape. Even his voice sounded low and powerful, with absolutely no resemblance to the past. Even if his name changed, no one would recognize him.
This is called a real change of appearance and a new life.
After packing everything up, Gu Dan left the inn, and after asking around for a while, he heard news about the Immortal Palace on Earth.
He came by chance, the Immortal Garden on Earth was recruiting people.
To be precise, it should be the group of immortals in the Immortal Garden on Earth. Every year at the beginning of spring, they send envoys to the mortal world to recruit children.
But what's different from the storybook is that this group of unreliable immortals can't tell at a glance who has spiritual roots and whether they can become immortals. They have to go to the immortal testing platform.
The simplest and most direct way is to try it with spiritual stones. Whoever can absorb them quickly will have spiritual roots.
But this kind of rich and powerful method is not accepted by today's fairy court.
But what really surprised Gu Dan was that the news from the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations was somewhat delayed.
Today, there are not only five fairy courts, but six.
In thirty-one years, a new source of spiritual energy was found in the Buzhou Mountains, and it was natural that the Immortal Courtyard would also have an additional source.
And even within the same mountain range, the nearest and farthest fairy courts are actually separated by more than a thousand miles of mountain road!
Not only that, the six fairy courts are also quite unique.
The first five fairy courts discovered correspond to the five spiritual roots.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth!
It's not that they have their own attributes, but that they are transformed through the efforts of the monks day after day.
Monks with the same spiritual roots will naturally practice slightly faster in the fairy workshop corresponding to the spiritual energy, and their competitiveness will be staggered.
Even if the monk is not in the corresponding immortal workshop, normal practice will not be affected, but it will be somewhat slower.
The Fairy Garden on Earth is just a name for it by mortals. If it is divided according to the degree suitable for spiritual root cultivation, it should be Jinfang, Wooden Fang, Shuifang, and so on.
As for the Sixth Branch, Xinxianfang, which had only been born for more than 20 years, did not dare to compete with the veteran seniors for monks, and took a new name, Ningfang.
A monk who does not please any spiritual roots, is a completely neutral place, and the conditions are the most relaxed.
For a person with all five elements, these six places are the same wherever they go. The one closest to Gu Dan is Ningfang, so naturally he is planning to go there while Ningfang is recruiting people.
Without wasting any time, Gu Dan quickly arrived at the foot of the Buzhou Mountains.
Looking from the bottom up, it seems that you can see the sky pillars connecting the sky and the earth, towering into the clouds, with no end in sight.
Under normal circumstances, no one can live in this kind of mountain.
But the magic of immortality naturally has its secrets, and it is not impossible to change the world, let alone a mountain of dead things?
What really surprised Gu Dan was that he saw many people at the foot of Zhoushan Mountain.
Usually there are some men in uniforms leading hundreds or thousands of children.
Those children are not very young. There are requirements for the admission of Xianting. The minimum age must be twelve years old and the maximum age cannot exceed eighteen years old. Grandmasters are an exception.
Not long after Gu Dan arrived here, a guy in a white uniform with stern eyebrows came over and asked with a smile: "Do you want to become an immortal?"
"Who are you?"
Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly.
The sinister-looking man pointed at his uniform and raised his face proudly, "Didn't you see my clothes? You don't understand this?"
"Brother, please clarify my doubts."
Gu Dan was not annoyed at all and said rather politely.
"You come with me!"
The man waved and led Gu Dan to a place under the shade of a tree with his back to everyone, where no one around him could peep.
He coughed slightly and said in a loud voice: "I am the envoy sent by Ningfang to recruit immortal disciples. You can understand it by looking at my clothes. I am known as Lao Wang and I have helped Ningfang recruit immortal disciples for eighteen years. Years long!”
Lao Wang was quite familiar with him and said straight away: "I think your age doesn't match your age. Could it be that you are a master? Or do you just want to come here to join in the fun?"
Although Ningfang's standards are not a dead line, it is impossible for ordinary people to go beyond the rules. Gu Dan, who looks like he is in his thirties or forties, exceeds Ningfang's requirements.
"He is indeed a master."
Gu Dan nodded and did not deny it.
He came here to cultivate immortality, not to be a grandson.
It's not that it's impossible to pretend to be a teenager, but it's just too troublesome. That's not pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, that's pretending to be an earthworm digging in the soil. It's really unnecessary.
Anyway, foreign grandmasters are nothing new to this place in the Buzhou Mountains, not to mention not surprising, they are just enough.
"oh?"
Lao Wang's eyes lit up and he said happily: "I just saw that my brother's majestic appearance is extraordinary. I can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person. I don't know how to call him?"
Hey, that was not your attitude just now.
Gu Dan said calmly: "Kong Zhai."
"Since you are a Grandmaster, it's easier to talk about it. From the looks of it, you seem to have just arrived, right?"
Lao Wang asked.
“After hearing about the deeds here, I came here day and night.”
Gu Dan nodded and did not deny it.
"Do you know the rules of Ningfang?"
Lao Wang asked again.
"Please clarify my doubts."
"Then we have to talk about it carefully."
Lao Wang coughed dryly and said in a slightly weird tone: "I have helped recruit immortal disciples in Ningfang for eighteen years, and I really know some inside information."
He rubbed his hands but didn't speak any more.
Gu Dan laughed and naturally understood what he meant. He pinched a small piece of gold about the size of his thumb and handed it to him without hesitation.
Being able to exchange a little money for valuable information is not a loss for Gu Dan, since there is no use for him to keep it anyway.
"Luxury!"
Lao Wang's eyes sparkled, he was making a lot of money!
This grandmaster knows how to behave!
"Since you are so open-minded, we must tell you everything you know!"
Lao Wang's attitude became more and more intimate, and he looked at Gu Dan with a very passionate look, and he took the initiative to say: "As for the Immortal Fang, all of them are actually similar, but our Ning Fang is much more relaxed towards the monks. Not to mention you. But the Grandmaster is infinitely stronger than these people!"
Lao Wang pointed his finger at the children waiting uneasily at the foot of the Buzhou Mountains and said.
"How to put it?"
Gu Dan asked.
"These people, don't think you have the opportunity to practice immortality since childhood. Even if they really have spiritual roots, there are so many things waiting for them!"
After collecting the money, Lao Wang kept his word and said eloquently: "If it is a low-grade spiritual root, it will have to sign a fifty-year contract with the immortal workshop to plant spiritual bamboos, spiritual rice and other things for the owner and others. Every year There are very few things that fall into my hands.
If it is a middle-grade spiritual root, a thirty-year contract must be signed, and the conditions are similar.
Only those with high-grade spiritual roots can survive the disaster, but it is hard to say whether any of those geniuses will emerge throughout the year. Most of them go to work as coolies. "
"oh?"
Gu Dan was quite surprised. The Chamber of Commerce of All Nations did not say anything about this, "Can they be willing?"
"Hey, what can I do if I don't want to? That's an immortal place, an immortal place! Where else can I practice immortality besides here? This is the case in several cities. It's useless to change places. Do they have a choice?"
Lao Wang sneered, "When we are finally able to devote ourselves to practicing the immortal way, we will all be in our seventies and eighties, so how can we achieve anything."
Good guy, isn’t this a serf!
Gu Dan's eyes were opened, "What's the difference between this and robbery?"
"As you said, how can robbery take away fifty years of their time?"
Lao Wang spoke without restraint, "The boss is very smart!"
"You even dare to say this?"
Gu Dan didn't expect that an "immortal envoy" who didn't even practice himself would dare to complain about his own power.
"They dare to do it, why can't they say it? There are monks in the Immortal Square who denounce it every year. It can be said that everyone in there knows it, isn't it still like that? Let me just talk about it, it won't get in the way."
Lao Wang said indifferently.
"What about the Grandmaster?"
Gu Dan asked curiously.
"The remuneration of a grandmaster is much more generous, and it only takes ten years. It's a pity that you came late. If it had been ten years earlier, the grandmaster would only have to sign a five-year contract.
But it’s not unlucky to come here at this time. It is said that discussions have begun in the Immortal Workshop to have the Grandmaster sign a fifteen-year contract.”
Lao Wang sighed.
"oh?"
This really shocked Gu Dan. Although the Grandmaster was just like that in his eyes, he was still the pinnacle of the mortal world.
When the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations mentioned the Grandmaster before, Xianfang did not dare to provoke public anger, but now it has even begun to let the Grandmaster act like a beast. It is extraordinary!
However, as soon as Lao Wang said it casually, Gu Dan understood.
Now there are more than thirty foundation-building monks in the six immortal workshops.
It’s no longer the time for kittens to live in groups of three or two.
As time goes by, those who can make breakthroughs will have the opportunity to be promoted through years of hard work, and naturally there will be more and more people.
Today's foundation-building monks join forces and are no longer afraid of arousing excitement among the masters.
What's more, the emergence of the Immortal Way in the Buzhou Mountains actually greatly suppressed Fanchen's belief in martial arts.
If you don't become a master by practicing martial arts, that's it.
To become a master, you need at least forty or fifty years of hard training. Under normal circumstances, those who can become a master before the age of fifty are considered to be extremely talented.
But the problem is that if you want to become a master, you not only need your own efforts, but there is also the interaction of the five elements standing in the way. People who can become a master can cultivate immortality.
If that's the case, why do you have to spend forty-five years of hard work to hone your martial arts and then become an immortal?
Isn’t that taking off your pants to fart?
After all, those who have the conditions will of course come to the Buzhou Mountains to give it a try first. Even if low-grade spiritual roots require a fifty-year contract, progress during this period is slow, but it is also an accumulation of immortality, which will be helpful in the future. Isn’t it better than practicing martial arts?
It takes so many years to practice martial arts anyway, so people have already planned it.
Times have changed and things have changed a lot.
The Immortal Dao here is no longer as weak as it was when it was first born, and it is time to give the Grandmaster some face.
This is less than a hundred years ago. If it were a few decades later, I am afraid that the Grandmasters would be treated equally.
"When I came here, I heard that this place is a fairy garden on earth. The fairy garden actually looks like this."
Gu Dan was quite emotional, but it was hard to say.
"Hey, I'm talking about immortals, but isn't the one who actually practices there still a human being? How different can it be?"
Lao Wang said: "Immortal fate and fairy fate, the people above also want fate!"
