Chapter 67: Once bitten, I'm afraid of the rope for ten years. This time I'll test it carefully.
At the foot of Daluo Mountain, a 16-year-old boy in gray linen clothes stood at the foot of the mountain.
He looked up at the Daluo Mountain towering into the clouds in front of him.
In the eyes of other immortal cultivators, Mount Daluo is a remote and poor place without any spiritual energy, but in the eyes of the young man, it is a real divine peak.
The boy's name is Jiang Ming. His ancestral home is Jiangjia Village, Qingshan City, Daqian. His ancestors and parents have been farmers for generations and his family is poor. Besides him, he has three younger brothers and two younger sisters.
Two and a half months ago, Jiangjia Village was looted by the Demon Heart Cult. Jiang Ming's parents were killed, and his three younger brothers and two younger sisters were captured and taken to Black Dragon Village to make elixirs.
Jiang Ming was spared because he was not in the village that day because he had followed his third uncle to work in a restaurant in Qingshan City a year ago to supplement the family income.
After his family members disappeared, Jiang Ming and his uncle went around looking for them, but to no avail.
It was not until a few days ago when the Black Dragon Village was destroyed by a master and a large number of people returned to Qingshan City that Jiang Ming realized that it was the Black Dragon Village and the Demon Heart Cult that were responsible.
However, Jiang Ming had bad luck. His brothers and sisters were the first group of people to have the elixir refined. Many people came back that day, but there was no news from his brothers and sisters.
Later, the young man went to Black Dragon Village, and saw the huge stone furnace for refining human elixirs that had been destroyed by a master.
The young man built a tomb for his younger brothers and sisters in Heilongzhai and vowed to avenge them.
After returning to Qingshan City, the boy heard that the master who destroyed the Black Dragon Village and the Demon Heart Sect came from Daluo Mountain, so he took some dry food, said goodbye to his third uncle who had always taken care of him, and came here to seek immortals and the way.
He seeks to become an immortal and avenge his family.
Jiang Ming's eyes were filled with an extremely firm belief. He wanted to wipe out the Demon Heart Sect, slaughter its followers, eradicate all the evil in the world, and offer sacrifice to the spirits of his parents, brothers and sisters in heaven.
His family has been broken up, and he doesn't want the tragedy that happened to him to happen to others.
Before coming, his uncle told him: "Daluo Mountain is too far away from Qingshan City. Immortals fly high and high, riding on clouds and mist, and a thousand miles is just a thought away.
But how can a 16-year-old kid like you go there on your own? There are many dangers along the way, including wolves and tigers. Moreover, the immortals in Daluo Mountain recruit disciples based on their immortality. I heard that all the disciples in Daluo Mountain are carefully selected by the immortals themselves, and all of them are outstanding geniuses. Even if you go there, the immortals may not accept you, a country boy from a village."
Jiang Ming said: "No matter how many difficulties and hardships I have gone through, they cannot stop me from avenging my parents and compatriots. The Demon Heart Sect wiped out my entire family. How can I not avenge this irreconcilable hatred?
The road is right under my feet. Although Daluo Mountain is far away, it is right there. I have legs to walk, but the mountain has no legs and cannot run.
If I don't go, there will be no hope at all. If I go, there will be a glimmer of hope. Even if the immortal does not accept me as a disciple, there will always be a need for odd jobs on Mount Daluo to chop wood and make fire. I will do odd jobs for the immortal, and in ten, twenty, thirty or fifty years, I will learn from him and eventually achieve something.
Even if I don't have the talent to be an immortal and can't become a talent, decades later, even if I can kill a member of the Demon Heart Cult with my own hands, I will be worthy of my parents and my siblings."
Before leaving, Jiang Ming kowtowed three times to his uncle and said that he would take care of his uncle in his old age after returning from revenge.
He started from Qingshan City and walked all the way out of the city towards Daluo Mountain. After walking for half a month, he finally saw Daluo Mountain.
“This is the sacred peak where the immortals live!”
Although Jiang Ming could not see the immortal aura with his naked eyes, it was enough for him to know that this mountain was Daluo Mountain.
Because the news has now spread throughout Qingshan City that the immortal who massacred the entire Black Dragon Village came from the Daluo Sect of Daluo Mountain.
A mountain is famous not because of its height but because of the immortals; a river is magical not because of its depth but because of the dragons.
In Jiang Ming's eyes, this is the tallest fairy mountain and sacred peak that carries all his hopes for revenge for his family.
Jiang Ming knew that he was a country boy with no background or resources, and he didn't even have the spiritual roots to cultivate immortality.
All he had was a devout heart seeking the truth, which might be the least valuable in the eyes of immortals.
So he started from the foot of the mountain, bowed every step he took, and kneeled every three steps, as he walked up the fairy mountain.
He believed that sincerity could move mountains and open up new horizons. If he couldn't become an immortal's disciple, he could at least do some odd job.
On Mount Daluo, a young man is climbing.
On the top of the mountain, on a white cloud, Lu Yuan flew out from the Daluo Palace and overlooked the foot of the mountain.
He received a prompt from the system that a new disciple had come up the mountain to seek the truth, so Lu Yuan immediately came out to check.
Lu Yuan looked at Jiang Ming's figure and recalled the 'dragon and phoenix' between Chen Nanxuan and Xiao Huo.
He made a mistake in accepting disciples both times. He accepted two extremely talented people and ended up ruining himself badly.
Lu Yuan decided in his heart that this time he must test this new disciple thoroughly before accepting him as his disciple.
Test this kid's sincerity and integrity.
He already has "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick" on Daluo Mountain, so he can't have another "Young Lin".
But this kid does look different from Chen Nanxuan and Xiao Huo.
At least when he first climbed the mountain, he had a pious attitude and climbed up the mountain step by step, looking like a sincere seeker of truth.
However, it is not enough to just look pious.
Lu Yuan was once bitten by a snake and became afraid of ropes for ten years.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The psychological trauma that Chen Nanxuan brought to him was too great. After accepting Chen Nanxuan as his wife, Lu Yuan had nightmares for night after night for a period of time.
This bastard can't be driven away, and can't be beaten to death. He is like a thorn in the flesh, making Lu Yuan feel uncomfortable all over.
We can’t have another Chen Nanxuan. We must test him! Test him hard!
Half an hour later, Jiang Ming had climbed to the mountainside of Daluo Mountain.
The weather was hot at the moment. The boy bowed with every step he took and knelt every three steps. Not only did his back and waist ache, but he was also sweating profusely. The coarse linen clothes on his body were absorbed by the sweat and stuck tightly to his skin. Due to the rough texture, they rubbed his skin and caused pain.
Jiang Ming looked up at the fairy mountain above his head. He was not far from the top of the mountain.
A hint of joy appeared on his face, and he was about to continue climbing the mountain.
At this moment, Lu Yuan waved his sleeves and a gust of wind was immediately blew out, sweeping across the mountains and forests. Jiang Ming felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then he felt dizzy. The whole person was swept up by the strong wind and was swept down the mountain directly.
It took him half an hour to climb up the mountainside, but it only took him three breaths to reach the foot of the mountain.
When the strong wind died down, Jiang Ming stood still and found himself back to the starting point.
"How could this happen? Haven't I already climbed to the mountainside? Where does the wind come from?"
Jiang Ming is a smart kid and is clever in doing things, otherwise his uncle would not have chosen him to work as a waiter in the restaurant.
He quickly realized that the wind just now was not an evil wind, but a gust of wind that was blew by the immortal who was sensing the situation and sent him down.
After all, if it was an evil wind, he, a mortal, would have been shattered to pieces after falling from the mountainside, but he had no external injuries.
Is the immortal on Mount Daluo trying to persuade him to retreat? Jiang Ming said, "I am Jiang Ming, a disciple from Jiangjia Village in Qingshan City. My parents and brothers and sisters were killed by the demon sect. I heard that the immortal cast a spell to kill demons and exorcise monsters, so I came here to sincerely become his disciple.
I know I have no talent, and I don't expect the immortal to accept me as his apprentice. I am willing to chop wood for you, make fire, sweep the floor and do chores in the mountains. Please keep me here!"
Jiang Ming knelt on the ground and spoke loudly to Daluoshan in front of him.
He came here sincerely to seek the truth.
Lu Yuan listened to Jiang Ming's words with an expressionless face.
Then a voice floated down from the top of the mountain: "You said you are sincere in seeking the truth, first climb up this mountain and then say this."
