In the sky, two figures looked at each other thousands of meters apart. One of them stepped on colorful auspicious clouds, and his whole body was constantly emitting soft golden light. He looked like he was in his twenties, with a solemn look on his face, a tall and straight figure, and a faint Fairy Spirit shrouded all over his body.

Another figure was quite the opposite. He stepped on dark clouds, dressed in a black robe, and his scarlet cloak floated slightly behind him. He looked thirty or forty years old and his face was full of ferocity.

The young man said faintly, "since I see you today, we should end it."

The middle-aged man snorted and said, "since you want to die, benzong will help you."

Although separated by kilometers, they can\'t hinder their voice at all.

Golden light and black red blood light lit up at the same time, and colorful auspicious clouds and dark clouds approached lightning.

"Boom -"

The golden light suddenly became so dazzling. In an instant, thousands of rays of sunlight were shining.

"Ah! It\'s impossible, you, how can you? Have you been robbed in those nine days..." the middle-aged man\'s voice was full of panic.

"Yes, you guessed right. I\'m the only immortal in heaven and earth. Go to hell." thousands of rays of light and golden light merge into one and go away suddenly

"Don\'t --"

…………

The sun hung high in the air, emitting its scorching light. It was so hot at noon in summer. The Loess on the ground lost water. As long as the breeze caressed it, it would bring bursts of dust, making it more difficult for people to breathe. "Damn it, the weather is so hot. If it goes on like this, I\'m afraid I\'ll return." a childish voice said angrily. Under the big tree beside the dirt road sat two urchins with their upper bodies naked. They were leaning against the tree and dozing in the shade of the tree. The talking urchin was older and looked about eight or nine years old. He was slender, with waxy skin, high nose and small eyes. His short hair was like withered grass, and a few threads of sweat exuded from his forehead and temples, The expression on his face looked very impatient.

"Brother long, don\'t complain. We can\'t decide the weather. The so-called peace of mind is natural and cool. However, I really hope there will be a heavy rain and take away some dry air." the young boy next to the naughty boy with disorderly hair is much more handsome than the naughty boy called brother long, with a clean cloth on his shoulder, White skin, big eyes, double eyelids, slightly long black hair neatly combed behind his head, about seven or eight years old, shorter than the previous urchin.

Brother long glanced at the talking urchin, hummed and said, "OK, bean sprout, don\'t be so gentle. It\'s awkward to listen. Your family conditions are not good, but your boy has to go to school crying every day. What\'s the use of going to school in our ghost place? I see! You might as well go cutting firewood with me, so you can make up for some family expenses." The two children are from a nearby village. Brother Long\'s name is Hailong. His parents died when he was very young. They only left him a hut that can\'t shelter from rain in summer and wind in winter. He has been helped by some kind-hearted villagers in the village to survive. Now he earns a living by gathering firewood every day, exchanging his own firewood and for some food from the villagers. The urchin he called douya\'er and his village, named Zhang Hao, grew up together. They are the best playmates. The conditions of Zhang Hao\'s family are not much better than Hailong. His parents barely make a living by relying on a thin land near the planting village. Children in poor families like them mature very early. Although they are less than ten years old, they always treat themselves as adults and try to imitate adults as much as possible.

After listening to Hailong\'s words, Zhang Hao, who had been gentle before, suddenly showed his original shape. Hei hei said with a smile: "brother long, I\'ve learned from the old scholar for a few days. What\'s wrong with letting me drag the text? This can show my level! I don\'t do firewood. You know, I\'m the laziest. I don\'t want to do anything except eat and sleep."

Brother long knocked on Zhang Hao\'s head, smiled and scolded, "I knew you were like this. What you want to learn more is clearly an excuse not to do farm work. I don\'t think you know more words than me. I\'m afraid the words big as watermelon can\'t fill a basket."

Zhang Hao said angrily, "if you knock me on the head again, I\'ll be anxious with you. I have lofty ideals, although laziness is a very important purpose."

Hailong came up to Zhang Hao with a smile. Under Zhang Hao\'s vigilant gaze, another knock hit him on the head. His strength was obviously stronger than that just now. Zhang Hao cried out and rushed up fiercely. They wrestled together in the vulgar words of attacking each other. Hailong\'s strength was obviously stronger than Zhang Hao. After a while, he pressed him to the ground and said with a smile, "take it."

Although Zhang Hao was made, he refused to admit defeat. He snorted and said reluctantly, "the weather is too hot. I\'m afraid you\'re too hot to let you. I can\'t see it."

"Oh." Hai Long pushed Zhang Hao aside with his mouth curled, wiped the sweat on his head, sat down under the big tree and said, "your boy always said that it\'s too hot to make trouble with you. By the way, what did you say you have a great ideal? Let me listen to it and see how far your ideal is --"

Zhang Hao said proudly, "of course, my ideal is far away - big." he mysteriously approached the sea dragon and whispered, "boss, do you still remember the story about immortals told by grandpa sun in the village? I have accurate information."

Hailong was surprised and sat up straight. Grandpa sun in Zhang Hao\'s mouth is the king of stories in the village. He often tells some strange stories to amuse the children. One of them about immortals attracts them most. Hailong looked at Zhang Hao strangely and said, "your boy is not crazy, it can\'t be true! Where can anyone fly?"

Zhang Hao said: "Why not? There must be. My ideal is to be able to learn the ability to fly like those immortals. At that time, isn\'t heaven and earth free for us to roam? About a year ago, two people in gorgeous clothes came to our village on horseback. They seem to have come from a long way and just came to our house to ask for water. You know, my father is I was very hospitable and entertained the two outsiders. I was sleeping at home that day. When I heard an outsider coming, I ran out to watch the excitement. I happened to hear the conversation between the two people. I didn\'t believe in immortals before, but after listening to them, I knew it was true! They said, what sect is there in Lianyun mountain hundreds of miles away from us There are some immortals living in the. They came here to worship the master. Many immortals in that sect can fly. It must be true to hear the yearning tone of those two people. "

When Zhang Hao said this, the sea dragon suddenly came to his senses, widened his eyes and said, "is it true or false? There are really immortals!"

Zhang Hao said proudly: "Of course it\'s true. The two outsiders also said that this sect accepts disciples once every five years. It seems that there are no special requirements. It\'s ok as long as you can read. There\'s no limit on your age. It would be great if you could be an immortal! You can change what you want to eat and drink. Hey hey, that kind of life is most suitable for me. Bug, you know why I\'m lazy now Will you learn to write with the old pedant? "

Hailong was stunned by Zhang Hao\'s words. He didn\'t even notice the nickname Zhang Hao called him the most annoying. He never thought that Zhang Hao\'s ideal was so great.

Zhang Hao looked at Hai Long\'s stunned appearance and became more proud. He patted him on the shoulder and said: "Bug, this is my secret. If you weren\'t my best brother, I wouldn\'t tell you. What\'s the matter? Come and learn to read with me from now on. In another four years, when you are 13 and I am 12, we\'ll go to that sect to worship teachers. Maybe after a few years of learning, we can return home and return to the village, I\'ll make a golden mountain for my parents so that they can enjoy themselves. "Zhang Hao couldn\'t help laughing at the thought of his pride.

The sea dragon blinked and murmured, "if they go there to worship the master, will they take care of the food? As long as I can eat, I\'ll go with you." how could he not yearn for the legendary immortal.

Zhang Hao said, "of course I can manage the food, and I should eat well. Didn\'t grandpa sun say that all immortals eat fairy fruit and drink nectar. Come and read with the old scholar with me. After we become immortals, even if we want to be an emperor, it\'s not impossible!"

The sea dragon scratched his head and said, "isn\'t it four years later? Let\'s talk about it. I don\'t believe such an ethereal thing." he said so because he was angry when he looked at Zhang Hao\'s proud appearance. In fact, he had believed it for some points.

Zhang Hao said dejectedly, "Bai let me waste so much spitting. I know you have no great ambition. Even if you go with me, I\'m afraid people will only accept me and won\'t pay attention to you."

Hai Long turned pale and said, "what the fuck do you say? I\'m not as good as you? Apart from my appearance, I\'m no better than you. Hum, what\'s good about your little white face. I\'m just going to visit the teacher? Well, I\'ll go with you. At that time, I don\'t know who will be returned. We\'ll learn to write together after I gather firewood tomorrow morning. I\'m the smartest person in the village."

Zhang Hao secretly laughed in his heart and grew up together. Of course, he knew that Hailong\'s competitive temper was the most unbearable. He put his arm around Hailong\'s shoulder, shook his cloth clothes stained with a lot of soil, and said with a smile: "well, the smartest person in the village, go to my house. Uncle Li brought some sweet potatoes yesterday and you have something to eat today."

Hailong is obviously more interested in sweet potatoes than immortals. His eyes are full of time. "Wow, I have sweet potatoes to eat. It\'s great. I can\'t even pull out my shit these days. Finally, I can improve my life. Go, go and eat sweet potatoes at your house." they laugh and go to the nearby village.

Four years later. Lianyun mountains.

Lianyun mountain range is located in the western border, nearly ten thousand miles away from the Central Plains. The mountain range is composed of 72 undulating peaks, each of which is towering into the clouds. Strange peaks and rocks and flowing springs in the mountains can be seen everywhere. The unpredictable sea of clouds seems to become a bridge between them, winding around the mountainside of the peaks. The name of Lianyun mountain range comes from this.

Lianyun sect, located in the Lianyun mountains, is one of the seven major monastic sects in the world. However, due to its remote location, its influence is far less than that of the other six major sects in the Central Plains. However, it has a long history and ranks first among the major monastic sects. It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, founder Lianyun sat on the main peak of the Lianyun mountains to connect the top of the Tianfeng peak to understand the Tao, became immortal, and left a large number of monastic scriptures. Thousands of years later , several predestined friends came there unintentionally and got the letter of father Lianyun. In order to express their gratitude to father Lianyun, they established Lianyun sect here. On weekdays, Lianyun 72 peak is completely surrounded by the immortal array left by father Lianyun. Outsiders can\'t go deep here.

Today, it is also the five-year apprenticeship day of Lianyun sect. Thousands of rays are emitted from the top of Jietian peak. The cloud shrouded 72 peak seems to have changed. The fog is gradually dispersed, and winding paths appear outside the mountains. As long as you pass through these paths, you can directly reach the twelve peaks outside the Lianyun mountains. There will be a place for apprenticeship test.

Lianyun sect\'s admission requirements are much stricter than the other six sects. There are many applicants every time, but few can pass the test. Originally, it was far from the Central Plains, and there were few people. Coupled with the harsh conditions, fewer and fewer people came to sign up. The heyday when tens of thousands of people came to sign up thousands of years ago is gone. The number of applicants five years ago was not even 100. In the end, none of them passed.

Diling peak is one of the twelve peaks in the periphery of Lianyun mountains. Four middle-aged men in plain clothes stand on the top of the peak. Their looks are very common. They are the simplest cloth clothes, with a long sword on their backs.

"Sixth senior brother, the mountain fairy array has been open for four days. Why don\'t we even have a ghost in the earth spirit peak? Don\'t we even have one sign up this time? I remember there were nearly 100 sign up people five years ago. If we continue like this, I\'m afraid there will be no successor to Lianyun sect."

The middle-aged man called sixth senior brother sighed and said, "Ninth brother, you should pay attention to your words. What ghost? Let the master hear it. I\'m afraid you can\'t bear it. Alas, we haven\'t taken more than ten disciples in this Lingfeng for 20 years. There are too few people who can pass the test. Now even yunzong doesn\'t have five generations of disciples."
