These words were quite philosophical, and they also awakened Gu Dan.
People are always very curious about legendary things, and because of the sense of distance, they add a lot of their own speculations, taking it for granted that things they have never seen should be like.
The immortal way is such a wonderful thing.
Even Grandmasters and even Great Grandmasters seemed so insignificant in front of this road, so much so that Gu Dan himself made a mistake.
Isn’t the Immortal Way also practiced by an individual?
It's just that those who are successful in practice are praised as immortals.
There are people like Mo Qiu in the human world, and there are people like Mo Qiu in the immortal world. There are people like Emperor Zongming in the human world, and there must be people like Emperor Zongming in the immortal world.
It's just a matter of different heights. In fact, we are all just human beings. The biggest difference is the difference in experience and power. How can one be higher than a fairy if he or she is the same person?
It is nothing more than a mortal dream, no different from a monkey fishing for the moon in the water.
Whether it is a story in a storybook or a real fairyland on earth, they are really made up of living people.
And wherever there are people, there will be entanglements of interests, love and hatred.
Things that can be seen in the mortal world can also be seen in the immortal world, just in a different form.
"ha."
After seriously breaking through the hypocritical mask, Gu Dan chuckled, not knowing what to think.
If the Buzhou Mountains are really the land of immortals, they may have the legendary immortal style.
But unfortunately, this is just a place where immortality can be cultivated in the world that was discovered by chance. It has only been seventy-nine years ago.
This time may be considered long in the mortal world, but to the immortal world, what does it mean?
Seventy-nine years ago, the first grandmaster who came here and discovered the source of spiritual energy was much better than the other masters?
In such a short period of time, the primitive accumulation here is far from complete, let alone the legendary Immortal Family style, which will take quite a long time to appear.
Even the Xia Dynasty took a full generation to make the secular world strong. It was just a secular dynasty. How long would it take for the immortal way to truly flourish?
At least if you measure this 'fairyland on earth' with the eyes of this world now, you won't go wrong. You don't have to regard it as an unattainable existence.
Those words alone were worth the money given to him.
Only when the veil of vanity is lifted can it be real enough.
"Actually, it's not something that is difficult to understand. You can figure it out by turning your brain a few times. Even if you don't find it for a while, you can understand it by looking at two more things."
Lao Wang is quite talkative. Since he has accepted money from others, his attitude is that of saying, "There will be something more surprising for you later."
"What?"
Gu Dan was a little curious.
"Hey, you'll see later, there's no point in saying it in advance."
Lao Wang gave it up, looked at the sky again, and said, "It's almost time. Let's take you into the mountains first."
He had a whistle hanging around his neck, walked to a group of children, and blew it suddenly.
"Listen to me, if you can't keep up when you go up the mountain, just stay where you are and don't move. People who can't even withstand this kind of hardship are worthy of practicing the immortal way?"
Lao Wang, who was joking with Gu Dan just now, now looked fierce.
How could a group of children whose oldest was only eighteen years old and whose youngest was only more than ten years old, withstand such intimidation? They all remained silent.
"Let's go!"
With just this shout, Lao Wang took the lead and climbed towards the Buzhou Mountains without even looking back.
But he didn't forget to secretly wave to Gu Dan to follow him.
"Is this how you bring people along?"
Gu Dan was indeed a bit eye-opening.
Although not everyone of these children can practice cultivation, after all, there may be immortal seedlings among them. It would be too simple and crude to do so.
"Hey, you don't know the situation. There are too many monks but too little food! No matter whether these little guys have talent or not, if they can't keep up, they don't have it."
Lao Wang held a piece of grass in his mouth and said with a nonchalant expression: "Even if we really haven't recruited enough people, it's just a matter of running a few more times. The rules cannot be broken."
"Are there any rules here?"
Gu Dan was curious.
"Of course there is. Let's put it this way, among a hundred children, it is difficult to find one who has the chance to cultivate as an immortal. Even if he does, it is most likely to have low-grade spiritual roots."
A trace of mocking smile appeared on Lao Wang's face, and he said: "What are low-grade spiritual roots used for? They sign a fifty-year contract to grow things for adults! How can you do it if you can't bear hardships?"
Now, climbing a mountain is a life-and-death struggle. When I find out that I can become an immortal, will I still be able to work honestly for fifty years? If they cause any big trouble again, we who lead the way will also be in trouble, and we have to rub their tempers first. "
Good guy!
Gu worriedly called him good guy.
It turns out that there is still such a doorway here, which is indeed a great experience.
Then Gu Dan stopped talking. Since this is already the secret rule of all the guides of Immortal House in Buzhou Mountain Range, there is nothing to say, it has already been secretly agreed upon.
After silently following Lao Wang for a while, Gu Dan discovered that Lao Wang was also very particular about his speed.
Not fast, but not slow either.
About as hard as a twelve-year-old child could fall behind him if he tried his best.
A lot of trails have been opened up in the Buzhou Mountains, which are enough for these children to climb up on their own, but it's not like they just randomly choose a mountain path to tease them.
But human strength is limited. Most of these children are just children from ordinary families. How long can they persist?
Sure enough, after a while, there were not many children who could still fall behind Lao Wang, and they were all big children.
If we keep going like this, we may be "annihilated".
However, this time Gu Dan didn't ask again.
Lao Wang is definitely familiar with this section of the road. He has traveled so many times, and what he can see is probably a very simple daily routine for Lao Wang.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, Lao Wang suddenly stopped and looked back.
There were only a few children who could still follow behind, and their faces were red and their brows were covered in sweat.
"Haha, you guys also want to cultivate immortality? You are so tired from climbing mountains, why don't you go home and feed yourself!"
Lao Wang's voice was so loud that it spread far away and echoed in the mountains. He shouted impatiently: "Anyone who can't come to me within a quarter of an hour should just roll down the mountain!"
After saying that, he found a large square stone and just lay down on it.
"Oh, I almost forgot about you."
Lao Wang, who had entered the state, had just laid down when he saw Gu Dan and stood up quickly, "Would you like to lie down here and take a rest?"
"."
Gu Dan said: "That's not necessary."
Although the mountain road is difficult to walk, it is not that far. Let alone a great master, even a strong man in better health is far from being unable to walk.
It's just that this journey is already a long distance for children who are not yet fully developed.
A quarter of an hour later, only about half of the children who could catch up here were left, and almost all of them were the older ones.
But they were all panting from exhaustion and their faces turned red.
Lao Wang stood up from the flat stone without any hesitation and said without mercy: "Keep walking!"
This time it only took less than a quarter of an hour, and there were really only three or two kittens left among the children following behind, and they even started to use their hands and feet.
Gu Dan looked up at the stone steps ahead.
Well, it's as tall as a cloud and you can't see the end at a glance.
Not to mention these children, even if a healthy adult came over, they would probably be exhausted to death.
Could it be that Ningfang's quota for this year is already full and it is not planning to recruit any more fairy seedlings?
Gu Dan thought to himself.
Lao Wang seemed to have noticed this scene, his face suddenly darkened, and he stood there looking down the mountain without saying a word, his expression filled with anger.
The child who finally climbed up to him saw his expression, and suddenly he didn't even dare to take a breath, only his chest expanded and contracted violently.
After waiting for a while, when most of the children had crawled over with difficulty, Lao Wang finally spoke.
He cursed: "You are a bunch of trash, you can even climb a mountain so slowly, how dare you ask for immortality? Are you worthy? What do you look like if you don't take a pee and take a look at yourself! One by one, they forgot to eat or forgot to eat Breasts? You guys are simply the worst I have ever taken care of!"
He kept cursing, each sentence without repetition.
He was spitting and pointing.
The group of children who finally climbed up had never seen such a battle before. Each of the ostriches seemed to have their heads buried deeply. Only Lao Wang's scolding and abusive voice echoed in the mountain.
Gu Dan took a closer look and looked a little strange.
This, this, this, this, this is "beautifying" them! ! !
It is said that people's hearts are not ancient, and this "ancient" is not a good thing. He really has nothing to do with what he should know, and is even quite proficient. It is almost natural.
After scolding for a long time, Lao Wang spat viciously and said: "I will give you one last chance. If anyone dares to fall behind again, I will throw you all down the mountain one by one!"
The child who has been trained for a long time can be said to have stopped breathing at this time. How can he dare to question it at all?
Lao Wang turned around again and continued climbing up the mountain.
Gu Dan approached him quietly and asked in a low voice: "You are doing this. If there are some people here who are capable of cultivating immortals and hold grudges, aren't they afraid of settling accounts with you in the future?"
"Where are you going?"
Lao Wang shrugged slightly and replied in the same low voice: "What does this little grudge mean? If they really have some people who can cultivate immortals and hold grudges, they will find that there are many things that should be grudged. I am just giving them a little in advance. Appetizers to get them used to it in advance.
Even if someone really holds a grudge and wants to cause trouble for me, it's just to save some face and beg for mercy. "
Lao Wang pointed to the uniform on his body and said with a proud look on his face: "There are people up there, and it's just a beating to the death. It's nothing."
What else could Gu Dan say?
I can only give a silent thumbs up.
Being so aware, being a guide is really humiliating.
But this time, Gu Dan discovered something different.
Lao Wang's climbing became slower, much slower, but this change was an unconscious slowdown. If he hadn't had the energy, it would have been difficult to notice.
But even so, the number of children behind him is still decreasing.
But Lao Wang didn't look back and continued walking forward, as if he really didn't care at all.
When there were no children behind him, Gu Dan finally couldn't help but asked: "Is it possible that Ningfang doesn't accept people anymore?"
"Hey."
Lao Wang laughed and said, "Look, you are the master, you have fallen into this trap!"
"Um?"
Gu Dan stared.
"The best is yet to come."
Lao Wang chuckled and continued walking forward.
Not long after climbing up, the originally continuous steps suddenly disappeared, and a platform of about tens of feet appeared inside the mountain.
Lao Wang climbed up, then turned around and faced the bottom of the mountain. The expression on his face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying again.
".It's a pity that you don't learn to change your face."
Gu Dan was quite impressed by this unique skill.
"What's the matter? What a skill it is to settle down a family! Maybe they will thank us later."
Lao Wang said seriously.
Gu Dan had nothing to do and looked around casually.
Immediately, I was surprised to find that about a few kilometers away from the platform here, there was another trail and platform looming in the gaps between the trees.
Through the gaps between the branches of the trees, Gu Dan could clearly see that two servants were carrying a child on their backs and swaggering onto the platform!
There, it was clearly the territory of another person leading the way.
"Why are there still servants carrying me up here?"
Gu Dan asked in surprise.
"Huh? As expected of a master, you can see clearly from such a distance!"
Lao Wang flattered them first, and then said: "I only told them to come up. Who cares how they came up? If you have money, you can let two or three people take turns to carry them up."
Gu Dan: "."
It had to be said that this was different from any test he had imagined for selecting fairy seedlings.
This doesn't look like someone who wants to cultivate immortality, this looks like someone who came here to seek punishment.
But this was someone else's territory, so Gu Dan didn't say anything and just watched Lao Wang go about his routine.
Slowly, some children climbed up and saw Lao Wang with a dark expression.
Using his hands and feet, he climbed onto the platform with his whole body trembling. The first child to come up carefully called out: "Deacon Wang"
"go away."
Lao Wang just cursed coldly.
The child could only squat in the corner by himself, raising his eyes secretly. When he saw Gu Dan looking at him, he immediately lowered his head like a frightened rabbit. He did not dare to say a word and silently wiped his tears.
There were already red marks on the young palms worn by stones, and they looked extremely pitiful.
It's a pity that he, the first place, doesn't get any preferential treatment, not even a kind word.
Time passes slowly.
One child after another climbed onto the wide platform.
Then I saw a 'companion' squatting there like a carrot in a pit.
So everyone came together, not daring to talk, but they all buried their heads, hoping for a miracle to happen.
When the time was almost up and no children had boarded the platform for half a quarter of an hour, Lao Wang finally turned around and faced the carrots squatting in the pit.
"You losers, what are you doing up here? There's no chance! Go back to your homes!"
Lao Wang scolded sternly.
“Deacon Wang, we are”
The first child to climb onto the platform spoke weakly.
"You are just a bunch of trash. You can't even endure this little hardship, and you still want to become an immortal? Go home and farm."
Lao Wang waved his hand, looking too lazy to bother.
"Deacon Wang, help us! We really want to ask for immortality!"
The child immediately became anxious and said quickly.
As soon as one person spoke, the remaining children also woke up from a dream.
If we don't talk anymore, we will really say goodbye to Xianyuan.
"Yes, Deacon Wang, please help us. We will definitely remember your great kindness! Please!"
"In order to come here, my mother sold all the pigs she raised at home. If I couldn't go up, my mother would have to beat me to death."
"Deacon Wang, we have tried our best. We dare not rest for a moment. Our hands and feet are all worn out. Look, it's true."
All kinds of cries for mercy echoed on this platform, like a thousand ducks quacking.
However, Lao Wang was completely indifferent.
"What do you think of immortality? Begging? If begging is useful, I can kowtow 1,800 times! You don't want to endure hardship, but you still want to beg for immortality? Where can such a good thing come from? Even if you are really talented, just rely on you, What else can be achieved through cultivation? Instead of wasting the resources of Immortal Court, it is better to get out as soon as possible!"
Lao Wang sneered, "Don't try this useless thing with me. Go down by yourself or be kicked down one by one by me. It's your choice!"
One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
Those children were already mourning for their heirs.
But no one has taken any action yet.
Lao Wang seemed to have lost his patience. He walked forward, grabbed the nearest child and threw it up and down.
The group of children were dumbfounded when they saw that their short-term companion was about to be left behind like this.
Those who reacted violently began to cry loudly.
Unfortunately, it was of no use. Lao Wang dragged one with one hand and saw that he had already arrived in front of the stone steps and was already making moves.
"stop!!!"
In the sky, a roar echoed through the sky at exactly the right time.
Someone flew over, dodged the two children from his hands, and yelled, "Deacon Wang, what are you doing?!"
I saw Lao Wang, who was so fierce just now, now nodding and bowing, and saying with a flattering face: "Back to the Immortal, these children are not qualified."
"Unqualified?"
The monk who flew over seemed to be confused and asked, "What's going on?"
Lao Wang briefly told it.
"So that's it."
After listening to the story, the monk frowned slightly and said, "If you can't endure hardship, you really can't be considered a seedling of immortality."
"We have endured hardships and endured hardships!"
The children were not without vigilance. When they saw an immortal who could really fly, even the vicious Deacon Wang saluted him. He immediately found his savior and said quickly.
"Immortal, if we can endure hardship, we will definitely endure hardship! Give us a chance!"
"Yes, yes, we can endure hardships! I have been helping my family farm since I was a child. No matter how hard or tired I am, I am not afraid!"
"Me too! Me too! I can still go up the mountain to collect firewood, and I can carry a big bundle of firewood on my back!"
One by one, the children began to desperately give "evidence" that they could endure hardship.
Seeing how determined these children were in seeking the truth, the monk seemed a little moved.
"It cannot be said that having this desire to seek the truth is completely useless."
After that, he sighed and said: "Well, it's just because I'm a soft-hearted person. Nowadays, there are very few vacancies left in the Immortal Workshop. It's probably quite difficult for you people to join them.
However, if you are really willing to endure hardship, I won't give you a chance. The path to immortality is difficult to achieve, and only those with a strong will to seek the path can achieve success. Are you really willing to endure hardship? "
"We are not afraid!"
Even though some children shouted loudly, the savior was caught.
"Oh well."
After struggling for a moment, the monk finally waved his hand, and a spiritual boat suddenly rose into the air, "Children, sit on the boat and I will take you to the test.
Remember what you said today, I am the elder of Lingzhen Hall, Qian Qiancheng, so since I happened to encounter this matter today, it is considered fate. "
The flying boat was made of wood and was several feet in size. It had been placed on the platform before. Gu Dan was surprised that it had any use, but it was used here!
After the children all boarded the flying boat cautiously, full of curiosity and admiration, Qian Qiancheng finally looked at Gu Dan and said with a gentle smile: "I can also give my fellow Taoist a lift."
"Thank you very much."
He stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling man, but Gu Dan did not refuse and boarded the flying boat.
When the flying boat slowly left the platform and headed towards the real fairy workshop, Gu Dan looked down from the side of the flying boat.
Lao Wang, who was still standing on the platform, blinked at him, spread his hands, and shrugged slightly.
Probably saying: you understand.
'This is a lesson learned'
Gu Dan, who had experienced many things in the world, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The tricks of the Immortal Way are so profound!
Phew, I stayed up late and now I have finally finished coding this chapter.
