Chapter 001 - The Evil Monk
Appropriately, the divine state of chaos in the beginning of the clear and turbid not yet divided, people, demons, immortals, demons coexist at the time, after several catastrophic disputes, demons hibernate in the wilderness, immortals gradually hidden in the mountains, since then, the world is considered a period of peace and quiet days.
Just this good day always do not want to live to the end. Used to living in peace, not only the princes and generals, even these ordinary people, also to that old age, sickness and death more and more fear, so the divine land this search for the immortal wind, as that slope between the weeds, can not be cut off and burned.
One of the biggest cases of searching for immortality occurred in the Yingzhou Tianyan country, because some people cloud overseas there are fairies, so the Tianyan Yun emperor built a huge ship to go overseas, and eventually failed to find the fairy, with the five thousand boys and girls died in the deep sea. However, some people say that the cloud emperor is finally found the immortal mansion, but the result in the end how, this old case think no one can know, so this Tianyan country has become the most fervent place in the divine state to find the immortal.
Unlike some of the rich royal family rich, some farmers only in the fall harvest every year, only with their own good dry food to visit the famous mountains and rivers, although know that there is no hope but also want to find a chance.
Most of the farmers are forced to make a living, the search for immortality run through a couple of times will be over, and in the end is always at ease to return to their homes to rest assured that farming. However, there are exceptions, such as in the Tianyan country a remote village called Erlang village, there is a family surnamed Li, the father Li Shanzhu with his only son Li Yunsheng, a search is ten years.
Li Shanzhu although farmers were born, but the ancestors are also colorful over a lot of time, fell here because of a pile of very absurd sounding public case, talking about the Li family this pile of public cases, but also very interesting.
Li Shanzhu ancestor is a rich family, the home of a thousand of good land, and hundreds of stores in various state capitals, the end is considered to be a rich party. It is rumored that the Li family had exhausted the family fortune, will be a very talented son of the family sent into the fairy house, after the Li family clan will be thinking about "a man to get a government" good thing, but this good thing did not wait for, the trouble is coming.
That day before the Lantern Festival, the Li family's big room and a new addition, or a big fat boy, the Li family old man was happy, set up three days and nights of dozens of tables of banquets not to mention, but also in the city of all over the money to give food.
This is a happy thing, but on this afternoon, a vicious-looking monk suddenly came to the Li family, he stayed in front of the Li family for a long time, before he opened his mouth to see the master of the Li family.
The old man is good Buddha like Tao, treat the evil monk as if he were a guest, but did not want to eat the evil monk just ate fasting and drank a good tea, they coldly said to the old man: "I want to be your Lee family broken, chicken and dogs do not stay, for the sake of your fasting on the love of this meal, you offer your Lee family all the family business, I can leave you a trace of the Lee family".
The old man to the monk good hospitality, but do not want him to open his mouth to the Li family family broken, but also have to offer the Li family property can be resolved. Such ridiculous words, even if the old man is a good old man, also can not bear to scold its ungrateful pig dog worse than, and then called the underlings will be the monk blasted out.
The people did not expect is that in the evening, the Li family master without warning died violently.
On the second day, the evil monk came again, the grief of the Li family, without asking the monk beat him to death, in the official police stopped before letting him go.
That night, the eldest son of the Li family died violently.
On the third day, the evil monk came again, and the Li family rushed again, and then the second son of the Li family died violently at night.
Seven days in a row, the evil monk came once, the Li family night will die a person.
The eighth day of the evil monk suddenly did not come, the Li family did not die again, but after that day, the original affluent Li family began to be worse than a year, the more bizarre is that the Li family has become a scarcity of men, and most of them do not live to forty, passed on to the generation of Li Yunsheng, the Li family is more than three generations of a single pass.
Li Yunsheng father and son out of this year earlier than in previous years, after the fall equinox hastily packed up the crops into the door, this year they are ready to go a little farther, to the north to the Pine and Snow Ridge to see.
An autumn rain a cold, father and son only to the first destination Ziyunling, the place on the rain, Li Yunsheng wear clothes not much, a cool wind blew, standing at the foot of the mountain pavilion, he could not help but shiver, from his pocket took out a soybean into his mouth to chew up.
At his feet lay a stack of set up bucket hats, next to the bucket hats piled up a few pieces of straw raincoat. Probably the family inheritance, he is very business mind, expected to come to the purple cloud ridge will rain, then with father Li Shanzhu home to cut the door of a few large bamboo, split to do dozens of hats, and then pulled the back of the yard a few palm tree bark, overnight sewing more than a dozen pieces of straw raincoat. Plus, the two will be some of the south of the small objects, souvenirs back to the north to sell, travel expenses are not worried, sometimes there are many surplus. When the situation is good, even when the two go home, they can bring a few taels of silver to have a good year.
The face of this thin and dark young man, about five years old, followed his father out together, at first did not understand why his father had to travel thousands of miles to these deep forests, looking for those who have no immortal, he did not want to come out just want to stay at home and next door to the root of the A and Lian to play, but was beaten by his father a few times after they were obediently come out together, and has been to the present every year, after the Autumn Equinox with his father to go out together, has already become a part of his life. It has now become a part of his life to go out with his father every year after the fall equinox.
Although this year is only twelve years old, but whether from the body or look, Li Yunsheng looks not like a child, especially the forehead two slanting sword eyebrow, there is a Yingqi, but more is to give people a kind of stranger do not enter the feeling.
The sky darkening rain also rested, Li Yunsheng thought father should be this time to go down the mountain, so ready to bucket hat and straw raincoat with grass rope bundled up, and then a stretcher pick down the mountain.
He just picked up the stretcher, he saw an old woman pestle a wooden walking stick, walk a step stop for a while to the mountain line. Li Yunsheng did not go over to help, but also did not pick up the stretcher to go, but put down the flat stretcher to sit back on the bench of the pavilion, from time to time to look at the old crone, and then turned his head to the mouth to stuff a soybean chewing unhurriedly, two sturdy and slender long legs full of thorns and thorns scratches in the bench under the boredom of swaying back and forth.
"Little doll." The old crone finally walked to the gazebo, she wiped the sweat and rainwater from her forehead, because she didn't wear a straw raincoat or a bucket hat, the old crone's green cloth shirt was wet in a large area. "Is this path to Wanglong Peak Purple Cloud View?" I don't know if it was because of the cold, the old crone's voice was a bit hoarse.
"That's right."
From the beginning to the end, Li Yunsheng did not even look at the old crone squarely, only sending the soybeans into his mouth one by one, his eyes following the steps and staring blankly towards the peak.
After asking this, the old crone did not open her mouth again and took out a handkerchief to wipe her hair.
"Going home, going home ...... In half an hour, the sky will be dark, falling down can be fatal."
After chewing the last soybean in his pocket, Li Yunsheng jumped down from the stool with a brace of his hand, as if talking to himself and as if reminding the old crone in front of him.
After saying this, he picked up his flat burden and deftly descended down the steps.
The old crone looked at Li Yunsheng's back as he descended the mountain, laughing and cursing this wild child for being so uneducated.
But when she looked back at the pavilion but some surprise, it turned out that the child actually put a straw raincoat on the bench of the pavilion, straw raincoat above also put a handful of fried soybeans.
The old woman slightly stunned, and then remembered that the previous child has long been packed stretcher, instantly understand the other side was waiting for their own up the mountain, and then and Yan laughed and said: "or a cold face and warm-hearted wild child."
