Chapter 1 Ascension to Immortal Gate

For thousands of years, the Daxia Dynasty has a strong atmosphere of seeking immortals and asking about Taoism. Every few years or more, rumors that someone is attracted to the immortals, taken as a disciple, and benefiting his family will be circulated. Ordinary mortals, as long as they have a little blessing, will receive various holy medicines and magical objects from the immortals. As for the immortals who meet the immortals on the road, there are countless! And there are several famous immortal holy places in the world...

In the northwest of Mingzhou, there is a Fuyun Fairy Mountain, which is tens of thousands of miles high, and is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, and no one can enter. Only within one month after the Qingming Festival of Wuchen in Jiazi, the thick fog will dissipate most of it, revealing the general outline of this huge peak. At that time, even if it is dozens of miles away, you can see two peaks on the top of the mountain facing each other, hidden in a huge gateway.

Legend has it that this is the mysterious immortals living on it send out messages, inviting all the people of the world to climb mountains, selecting good people to join the school, and spreading them the mysterious magic of immortality that immortality is immortal, calling the wind and rain, moving mountains and filling the sea.

Qingming is the time for worshiping ancestors and tombs in the folk customs of the Great Xia Dynasty. At this time, the clouds and fogs of the Fuyun Fairy Mountain were dispersed, which was quite criticized. Fortunately, it only takes this once every sixty years, and it cannot be a reason for the world to resist and reject.

At that time, no matter whether it is a high-ranking official, a scholar in the blue shirt, a wealthy man in the world, a peddler, a cavalier, or a woman who is despised by the world, she would pay homage to her deceased relatives and friends early, gather from all over the place, and pour into Fuyun Town at the foot of the fairy mountain to prepare for climbing. In fact, most people's ideas are very simple. Even if they cannot collide with the "immortal fate" in thousands, they can take the opportunity to take a look at the grand scenery of the immortals and gain knowledge, or simply set up stalls in Fuyun Town at the foot of the mountain to earn a lot of money.

This situation lasted for many years, and it has long become a famous event in the Great Xia Dynasty and is called "Ascending the Immortal Gate"!

...

It was another Wuchen year. After Qingming morning, Fuyun Town was still bustling and noisy. The surging crowd entered the east gate and bought enough dry food and utensils. Then, they rushed out of the west gate without stopping and headed straight for the light and high Fuyun Fairy Mountain.

Yu Zhu, the owner of Yu Ji Blacksmith Shop, is a young man in his twenties and has the superb iron craftsmanship he has passed down from his ancestors. At this time, he was naked and strong upper body, clamping a red blank with a left hand, and the iron hammer with his right hand rose and fall with a full rhythm. The crisp jingle sound was like a light melody, adding a different atmosphere to the disturbance in front of the shop.

Yu Zhu is a person who believes that there is nothing strange about himself and cannot enter the magical eyes of immortals on the mountain. Instead of trying to climb the mountain to find some "immortal fate", it is better to calm down and make more iron tools. Moreover, there are thousands of people who "climb the Immortal Gate" every time, and how many of them can really do what they want? In the end, they have spent their hard work and waste money, and even caused them to feel disappointed and unhappy, which is really unpaid.

As early as a few years ago, Yu Zhu started to prepare for the preparations just half a month after Qingming Festival this year, all the iron tools they saved were sold out, and there were about a hundred shining snowflakes in his pocket at the same time! If it were normal, he would not have made much money even in ten years!

Yu Zhu regretted that he should collect more apprentices this year. In this way, he will definitely be able to build more iron tools and earn more money in the next half month. In addition to the cost of buying a betrothal gift for Chuntao, there will be a lot left, which is enough for him to live a good life with Chuntao!

In fact, as long as you can marry Chuntao, Yu Zhu will be satisfied, but no one will think that he has too much money in his pocket, right?

Thinking of Chuntao’s goodness, Yu Zhu’s heart was like a blazing white flame whistling in the furnace, and his right hammer was waving even more happily.

"Please, what do you want to buy?"

Suddenly, the apprentice's thin monkey's question came from his ears. Yu Zhu turned around in surprise and saw a strange man wrapped in a dark cloak at the door.

Even though there was a red stove around him, Yu Zhu still shudderedly!

This person is so cold!

No wonder the ever-strange skinny monkey turned out like this!

"What are you looking at? Work quickly!"

Yu Zhu glared at the other three stunned apprentices and scolded viciously. He didn't care much about the black cloak monster standing at the door. He had met three or four guys in half a month. Although it was not a question of not being afraid, it was not particularly difficult to deal with. This is Fuyun Town, with the protection of immortals on the mountain, and almost no one dared to do anything randomly.

The moment several apprentices lowered their heads in a hurry, Yu Zhu seemed to feel the temperature in the shop had risen a little, and then he became more courageous and walked to the weirdo and lowered his head slightly.

"what are you looking for?"

Yu Zhu was a little disappointed. Most of the weirdo's head was covered by a black hat attached to the cloak. From this angle, you could only see a firm nose bridge and half a thin and pale face.

"Kill the mountain!"

After a while of silence, the weirdo suddenly spoke, his tone was agitated and low, as if he was very uncomfortable with speaking, but he did not feel the cold feeling that just now.

"Sold out." Yu Zhu touched his nose unnaturally, "If you are willing to wait, I will create a handful for you right away..."

"One more!"

The weird guy seemed not to want to listen to Yu Zhu's explanation, so he said lightly and was about to break into the shop.

"Oh, you...you're here, I'll get it!"

Yu Zhu wanted to block the monster, but unfortunately, he just pressed the monster's shoulder with his right hand, and he couldn't help but take several steps back! He was so angry that he was glaring back into his stomach by the monster's cold look!

Clang!

The broken door full of coal ash in the corner of the shop was roughly pushed open. Yu Zhu walked in in two steps, walked through a messy courtyard filled with ore, carbon and coal, and came to the solid gate of the warehouse...

"It's weird, how did I know that the monster wants this thing? It's really evil!"

He touched his head blankly, Yu Zhu looked at a thick-backed machete full of dust on his right hand in confusion, muttered twice, and a hesitant look appeared on his face.

"It's been decades, and selling it is not a violation of the rules. Besides, the plague god outside is not easy to pass on! Puff..."

Dust is flying!

Yu Zhu spread his left hand like a palm-leaf fan and slammed it hard in front of his nose. In the end, he could not resist the choking dust. He quickly held the knife in both hands and ran out of the warehouse with several big steps. His heavy steps quickly left.

"This knife has a name called 'Tiger Roaring Mountain'! It was specially made by a man from the martial arts world by my grandfather. It cannot be sold... Hehe, it's a bit dirty, but it must be a good product!"

The lines of the engraved tiger pattern on the blade were covered with stains, and Yu Zhu's rough face turned red. Time flies, so he didn't have time to clean it up carefully.

"How many?"

The weird man's eyes were completely covered by the brim of the hat, but Yu Zhu felt two eyes always staring at the slash in his hand.

"Fifty taels!"

Although he felt a little scared, Yu Zhu still gritted his teeth and offered a price that made the shopkeepers dumbfounded!

The weird man looked up and stared at Yu Zhu for a while before he took out a black cloth package from his cloak and threw it on the counter in front of the thin monkey.

"Change!"

The word "change" is just enough to get into the ears, and Yu Zhu felt that his hands were lighter.

"Be careful! The knife is very heavy..."

Yu Zhu stared at the monster with a big black sword in surprise. After saying a moment, he couldn't help but stop!

The mountain-cutting knife weighing 134 kilograms is like a light feather in the hands of the strange man! As the blade breaks through the air, the hidden tiger roars with a low hidden belt!

Although the weirdo was covered with a tight cover by the wide black cloak, Yu Zhu still knew that the weirdo was not very strong. Looking at the big sword whistling in front of the door, Yu Zhu subconsciously smacked his lips.

The monster slashed more than ten times in a row, and his wrist was shaken, and the stains left on the blade instantly splashed everywhere! Before Yu Zhu could see clearly, the monster was taken into the cloak by the monster.

"This knife cannot..."

Yu Zhu suddenly felt cold all over, and quickly closed his mouth tactfully, watching the weird guy walk away, hiding among the crowd on the street.

"Master, Master, look! Skin, skin!"

The excited shouts of the skinny monkey made Yu Zhu come back to his senses. When he turned his head, he saw that the black cloth package on the counter had been opened, revealing the square-strap snow-white fur.

Yu Zhu didn't understand what kind of wild beast this fur was peeled off, but just because the crystal white hairs emitted a jade luster, he understood that this thing was of great value!

"Hurry, go and invite Mr. Fan!"

A pair of trembling hands reached out to the snow-colored fur wrapped in the black cloth, and suddenly retracted like an electric shock, rubbing hard on the gray pants...

Yu Zhu stared at his even more dirty hands in annoyance, and he didn't bother to scold the apprentices who suddenly surrounded him, and couldn't wait to give orders.

The thin monkey responded, then pushed a few brothers away, and rushed out of the shop gate as if flying. However, before he could take a few steps, he was blocked by a force, and a clear male voice came from his ears.

"Little brother, wait!"

The thin monkey looked up angrily and saw a pair of white-clothed men standing in front of him with a smile...

The strange man who bought the mountain knife to leave Yuji Blacksmith Shop, followed the crowds all the way west and left Fuyun Town until the foot of Fuyun Mountain. He stopped and looked up at the two giant peaks that were towering into the clouds.

It was just noon, and the sun was hanging in the middle of the sky.

The sun was shining, and the wide brim of the hat cast a heavy shadow on the strange man's face, covering his upper half of his face.

Two Jianghu guests wearing long swords happened to pass by the strange man. The young man in ochre clothes on the left subconsciously glanced at the strange man, and immediately turned around with a drastic change, pulled his companion, and hurriedly left!

"Brother He, is it your enemy?"

After walking out of Baizhang, the companion of the young man in the ochre clothes asked in surprise.

"Brother Xun was joking. If it were the thief named Pang, I would have stabbed him with a sword!" The young man in red paused, then lowered his voice in shock, "The eyes of the man in black robe just now... were very green and weird!"

"Hiss! Isn't that a monster? You're not reading it right?"

"Brother Xun, you know that I have practiced plum blossom needles since I was a child and have always had extraordinary eyesight..."
