Chapter 2 Chapter 1 Meeting by Fate

Xishu Qinchuan, near Jiange.The mountains here are dangerous, high and steep, wild beasts frequent the mountains, and there are few people. It is an extremely desolate place.And at the foot of the Blue Wind Ridge, a strange person came at some point, it was a very strange person, he was dressed in tattered clothes, it was hard to tell whether it was a Taoist robe or a monk's robe.This person has been hiding in a cave, no matter how the wind and rain hit him, he always stays there alone and refuses to leave. For many years, every commoner who went up the mountain to collect firewood always saw him from time to time, and saw him often playing with the monkeys in the mountain and filling their hunger with fruits.At the beginning, everyone was a little afraid of him, but after a long time, and they didn't see how he was doing, everyone took it for granted, as if he didn't exist anymore.Time always passed unknowingly, and I don't know how many years, this strange person still lives there, and has been unwilling to leave.

There are many mountains in Western Shu, and there are countless monsters and ghosts hidden in them. For the sake of safety, the people built mountain temples everywhere to pray for the protection of the mountain gods.Many years have passed, and there have been more and more mountain and river temples. Perhaps it is the mountain gods who have shown their power. In the past two hundred years, the people in this land have rarely had accidents, and everyone's respect for the mountain gods is particularly surprising. On this day, at the foot of Cangfeng Ridge, came a young boy of a few years old, from a distance, he was about seven or eight years old, he was handsome and handsome, very likable.Dressed in brocade clothes, it seemed that the child was not from a poor family.When he got closer, he realized that the child's face was a little dark, with a trace of death gray in his paleness.

The child was walking slowly, and suddenly heard the monkey's cry, and couldn't help turning his head to look.I saw a cave not far away, and at the entrance of the cave stood a weird man in messy clothes, with long hair and shawls, he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could vaguely see a pair of extremely bright eyes, looking at himself.The young boy was taken aback for a moment, without a trace of fear on his face, he turned and walked towards the strange man. The strange man looked at the child with a sigh in his eyes, as if he had faintly noticed something.The child approached the strange man, and the crisp childish voice came slightly: "Are you the strange man those uncles talk about? I heard that you have been here for a long time. Can you tell me why you stayed here? Why didn't you come to us?" How about going to live in the village?" The child looked at the strange man quietly with a trace of curiosity in his eyes.

The weird man said slightly: "You are not from here, right? Your accent should be from the capital, why did you come here? You are not in good health, I am afraid you will not live long, why don't you stay with your parents and spend more time with them?" How about they get together?" There was a trace of surprise in the child's bright eyes, and he smiled slightly: "You are so good, you can tell at a glance that my life is not long. I have known this for a long time, so I don't care. Life and death are just moments That's all, what is life, what is death, perhaps those who have no experience will not know, what is there to be afraid of? What is your name, can you tell me?"

The strange man looked at the child, frowned slightly and said, "It's not easy to face life and death calmly at such a young age. It's a pity that no one in the world can cure your illness. It doesn't matter who I am, who are you? Why are you here?" The child smiled lightly and said, "My name is Lu Yun. I came here with my father. My father is a high-ranking official in the capital. Our family has been an official in the court for generations. Others are in the same boat, so they took the initiative to resign and brought me to Xishu to seek medical treatment. I have seen all the famous doctors in the capital, but they were of no use. Later, a fortune teller told my father that Xishu Qin Chuan, has bred infinite magic since ancient times, and hides countless strange people. Maybe they have a way to cure my disease, so my father brought me here. I have been here for a month. Due to my poor health, it is the first day today. I went out for a walk for the first time. I met you unexpectedly, it is really fate."

The weirdo frowned slightly, fate?maybe.Looking at Lu Yun, the strange man smiled faintly and said, "There is no way to cure your illness. Ordinary people have three souls and seven souls, but you have lost one soul and one soul. This is unique in the world. Judging by your appearance, it should be that you were born in this world. In this way, congenital defects are extremely rare, almost rare in ten thousand years. It is strange why you have not died until now? If ordinary people are like you, they will die before they are one year old. Even some people with strong vitality Most people live to be three years old at most. But you should be seven or eight years old now, which is really amazing."

Lu Yun looked at him, smiled and said: "It seems that you are better than those doctors. It's amazing to know so many things just by looking at me. Then can you take a closer look at my illness and see if there is any disease? What about hope? Although I don't care about life and death, I know that if I die, my parents will be very sad." The weirdo looked at the sky slightly, and became thoughtful.After a long time, the strange man said: "I can find a way to prolong your life, but you must promise me that this matter cannot be told to others, except your parents. No one can know. And in the next ten years, you You must come here to see me every day, if you can’t do it, go back, don’t agree easily. I don’t like people who don’t keep their promises.” There was a slight sigh in Wei Wei’s eyes as he looked at the sky, perhaps doing this It's wrong, isn't it?

The child looked at the strange man, and said in a low voice: "Okay, thank you. I will insist on coming here every day, and I will not tell anyone. I want to live a good life, fight against the sky, let the world know, I am Lu Yun I won't be easily defeated by you." In his childish voice, with strong courage, he wanted to fight against the sky. The weirdo was shocked when he heard the words, yes, whoever is a cultivator is not fighting for his life with the sky?Now that we meet, maybe it is destined.If that's the case, then I'll fight with the sky, at worst, it's just a nine-day thunder calamity, and it's not like I haven't seen it before, just treat it as a moving bone, so it's possible that the sky can do nothing to me!

Looking at Lu Yun, the strange man smiled and said, "Okay, you have ambition. From tomorrow onwards, I will teach you a magical martial art that will let you compete with the heavens. Although ten years is short, as long as you work hard, you will have success." You will definitely gain something. One thing you have to remember is that you can’t easily use what I passed on to you, let alone pass it on to others.” The child solemnly promised: "I will remember, don't worry. I actually know who you are, because someone once told me that you are such a strange person." The strange man laughed and said, "Little devil, do you seem to be very smart? Then tell me who I am? If you are sure, there will be a reward."

Lu Yun thought for a moment, then said softly: "You are the strange man in the mountains and the wild man in the ordinary people, and the cultivator in the words of the fortune-tellers, right?" The strange man looked at Lu Yun, with a flash of a smile in his eyes, and said with a light smile: "Little devil is smart, you are half right, the reward will be given to you in the future, and you will not need it now. After you learn a little skill, you will give it to me later." It's not too late for you. Come to me now, let's have a good chat." After speaking, with a move, Lu Yun's body was next to the strange man in an instant, which was very strange.

As dusk fell, Lu Yun left there with a smile on his face, and went home.Back home, Lu Yun's parents looked at their son lovingly, with pity in their eyes.Lu Yun's father's name is Lu Wenyu, and his mother's name is Zhang Huafeng. They are both handsome men and beautiful women with excellent personalities.Lu Wenyu asked with a smile, "Yun'er, how many places have you traveled by yourself today, and what strange things did you see?" Lu Yun looked at his parents.He smiled and said: "Yun'er met a strange person today, the strange person that the uncles in the village said. Today Yun'er talked with him for a day and benefited a lot. He told me that he can teach me a way to extend life, But I have to go to him every day to learn from him, and I am not allowed to tell anyone except my parents. Yun'er has already promised him, and I will start to learn from him tomorrow. Don't worry, that strange person is the one in the capital. The strange man who is said by the fortune teller is a man of great ability, Yun'er wants to learn from him, maybe he can cure my illness." Lu Wenyu and his wife Zhang Huafeng looked at each other and said, "What did he say to you today, can you tell us? Is there anything about your illness?" Lu Yun smiled and said: "He said a lot of things, and also mentioned my illness. He said that ordinary people have three souls and seven souls, but I was born with one soul and one soul, so this disease cannot be cured. I can live It is already a miracle up to now, and it is precisely because of this that he plans to teach me the method of prolonging life, and told me to start learning tomorrow." Lu Wenyu's face changed drastically when he heard this, and his expression was extremely shocked.Zhang Huafeng looked at her husband, wondering why he had changed so much all of a sudden, and what happened, it was really strange. Lu Wenyu raised his head slightly, and said to himself with a horrified expression: "I can't think of it, I really can't think of it, the legend of my Lu family that has been passed down for generations is actually true. Maybe this is God's will. Yun'er, go learn from that strange man tomorrow." , remember to work hard, your mother and I will fully support you. No matter what the future holds, you must live bravely and face everything with strength." Lu Yun looked at his father, nodded slightly and said, "I will. I will fight against the sky. Don't worry, I won't give up easily." In Lu Yun's young heart, there is a maturity and perseverance beyond his age. He has been plagued by illness since he was a child, and he has resisted the god of death countless times, and he has cultivated a strong mind, so he has a thinking ability different from ordinary people. Lu Wenyu looked at his son with a hint of encouragement in his eyes, lightly patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "Have a good rest, I have to learn art tomorrow." After speaking, he exchanged a wink with his wife and left Lu Yun's hut. In the night wind, Lu Wenyu looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said softly: "I remember the records of the Lu family's genealogy, there is a magical legend passed down from generation to generation in the Lu family. It is said that among the descendants of the Lu family, there will be a disciple who is born with little soul and soul, That will be an unpredictable mutation of the Lu family. No one can tell his fate. This life is full of legends. According to the Lu family's ancestral instructions, if such a person appears, he must return to the Lu family's ancestral graveyard and take out a piece of the world. Only something he can open, that thing is likely to change the fate of his life. Unexpectedly, Yun'er is the descendant in the legend. I plan to tell him when he is eighteen or twenty years old, and let him go back and take out the thing. something that belongs to him." Zhang Huafeng looked at her husband quietly, and said softly: "Yun'er has been extremely smart since she was a child, and she can learn everything at once, but unfortunately her body is too weak. I never thought that he would have such a fate. Maybe everything is doomed. I can rest assured that I can be safe. Xishu Qinchuan, with beautiful mountains and rivers, bred infinite magic, I hope that here, I can find a way for my son to continue his life." The night wind blew, and the sound of insects rang out in the mountains. With bursts of drowsiness, it accompanied the world into sleep, and slowly forgot all the unpleasant things.In the early morning, Lu Yun woke up amidst the melodious chirping of birds, hurriedly ate the breakfast carefully prepared by his mother, and then went out alone. Standing at the door, Zhang Huafeng looked at the figure of his son going away, with a hint of smile and love in his eyes.When will he be able to grow up, get rid of illness, and live a happy life?Perhaps, no one can tell. Time flies, and when you turn around, spring and autumn come and go, and ten years have passed in a flash.In ten years, Lu Yun has changed from a thin child to a handsome boy.Although his body is still a little thinner, in the past ten years, Lu Yun has never been sick again, his body is always getting stronger every day, he is getting smarter and smarter, and he is learning things very fast. Standing quietly in front of the cave, Lu Yun looked at this strange man who had taught him martial arts and profound kung fu for ten years, and was very grateful to him.In Lu Yun's heart, he is his own master, he has taught him countless things.That is something that ordinary people cannot learn in a hundred years, but Lu Yun has learned it. The strange man looked at Lu Yun, with a gleam of joy in his eyes, and said softly: "It's been ten years, and you haven't let me down. Although the time is too short, you have learned a lot from me, which is amazing. What are your plans now? Do you want to continue learning mystical Taoism from me, or leave here?" Lu Yun said softly: "My father told me one thing. He wants me to go to a place now, or two years later, to retrieve something that belongs to me. I plan to study with you for another two years. Being able to make great progress is not in vain for my relationship with you. After all these years, you haven’t told me who you are and what you did before, can you tell me now?” The strange man smiled and said, "You don't have to care too much about my identity. I have done many things before. To put it simply, I have been a Taoist priest for three years, I have listened to Buddha for three years, I have been a fairy for three years, and I have been a demon for three years." , Hehe, that's all." Hearing this, Lu Yun's eyes changed slightly, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled slightly: "It seems that you have done everything, no wonder you have taught me the methods of self-cultivation in the past ten years, including Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, The five sects of Demon Sect and Ghost Sect are really omnipotent. It turns out that you have done everything. Hehe, you have a future. In the last two years, will you pass me a little bit better, so as not to go out in the future and give me You are so embarrassing!" There was an inscrutable and profound smile in Lu Yun's eyes, his expression was calm and mysterious, giving people an incomprehensible feeling. The strange man laughed and said: "In the past two years, if you want to learn all my skills, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep. Even if you have learned everything, it's still useless if you don't have a hundred years of cultivation. Cultivation is different from practicing martial arts. Ten years of martial arts practice can make a small success. Twenty years can lead to great success. And cultivation usually takes ten years to get started, and a hundred years to achieve small success. If you want to achieve great success, it depends on everyone's chance. Remember that day you guessed half of my identity, and I said I would reward you , now it’s almost enough for you.” After speaking, the strange man took out a jade box from his bosom, slowly opened it, and suddenly a fragrance came out, which was very charming. Lu Yun looked at the inch-long humanoid ginseng in the strange man's hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.The strange man glanced at him, and said slightly: "Don't underestimate this ginseng plant. Although it is only an inch long, it has an extremely rare origin. This is the body of a ten thousand-year-old ginseng plant that I accidentally saved back then. That ginseng attained the Tao, and in order to repay me, he gave me his body as a repayment of my kindness. This ginseng king is a rare thing in the world, and it is far beyond the comparison of ordinary thousand-year-old ginseng. Ordinary thousand-year-old ginseng, For ordinary people, after taking it, it can strengthen the body and prolong life. For martial arts practitioners, after taking it, it can increase their skill for thirty years. But the ginseng king in my hand is extremely precious to a cultivator, because it is the body of the ten thousand-year ginseng king, and the ginseng king has already ascended the Tao, so after taking this ginseng king, it can increase ten Jiazi's cultivation is unique in the world, I hope that after you take it, you can learn something within two years, and the fate between us as a master and apprentice will not be in vain." After speaking, he handed King Shen to Lu Yun. Lu Yun took it lightly, looked at the strange man and said with a smile: "Thank you, master, for so many years, and today I finally accept me as an apprentice. It's really hard to wait!" . The strange man laughed and scolded: "You little devil, you are still yelling around when you get a bargain. Hurry up and take Shen Wang, I will help you refine it, otherwise with your current cultivation base, you will not be able to wake up in less than a month." Yes." Lu Yun smiled lightly, sat cross-legged, and slowly swallowed King Shen.Soon, Lu Yun's whole body was fiery red, and a ball of raging flames was burning, enveloping Lu Yun's body inside. With a puzzled look on his face, the weirdo looked at the sky slightly, doing this by himself, right?Maybe people are meant to compete with the sky, isn't it?Looking at Lu Yun, there was a smile in the weird man's eyes, and his right hand was slightly pressed on the top of his head, three inches away from him.I saw a five-color brilliance flowing in the palm of the strange man's right hand, instantly covering Lu Yun's body in the five-color brilliance, which looked very beautiful and magical. The raging flames on Lu Yun's body, under the cover of the five-color brilliance, slowly compressed, stretched and exhaled, swelled and protruded from time to time, but were suppressed by the five-color brilliance.Time passed slowly, and the bloody flames on Lu Yun's body erupted seven times in a row, all of which were suppressed by the strange man's mysterious five-color brilliance, and finally slowly melted into Lu Yun's body, disappearing without a trace. When Lu Yun woke up, it was already sunset.The sky is reflecting the sunset, and the world is clear.As soon as he stretched his body, Lu Yun immediately stood up in the air, and a powerful aura erupted from his body, which instantly made the surrounding plants bow their heads.A cyan light rose from Lu Yun's body, enveloping his body in an instant, and then the cyan light immediately turned into a golden light, and then changed from gold to red, red to white, and white to white. It was black, and finally turned into black cyan, and the five-color light kept changing, which was extremely mysterious and strange. The strange man looked at this apprentice who had studied art with him for ten years with a smile, and there was a hint of approval in his eyes.Looking at Lu Yun in mid-air, the strange man smiled and said: "It seems that the effect is not bad, and there is progress. But although your cultivation base has greatly increased, the original intention of a cultivator is to practice from nothing to have, and then to practice the way No, that's the only way you can cross the sky and the earth and roar across the sea. Although you appear to be very powerful on the surface, your real cultivation is still far away. In the next two years, you must cultivate your entire body to the fullest. Refining, you have to reach the realm of returning to the original, and you can’t let people see that you know the Taoism, that’s a small achievement. Keep working hard, you still have a long way to go.” Lu Yun's body fell slowly, looked at the strange man indifferently, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your teaching, Master. Lu Yun will work hard. In the next two years, I will definitely live up to my expectations, complete all the formulas taught by the master, and strive to achieve the master's goal. Require." The strange man smiled and said: "I hope so. You will understand many things in the future, and it is not as easy as you imagined. It is a coincidence that you met me, so your cultivation is easier than ordinary people. But when you meet the real Master, you will understand that there are many things that take time to accumulate. Cultivation is basically against the sky, and getting a chance encounter is even more against the sky, so you have to be mentally prepared, there will always be a day when you understand Yes. Well, it’s getting late, you can go back too, and continue tomorrow!” After speaking, the strange man turned and went back to the cave. After returning home, Lu Yun said to his father: "Yun'er intends to take out the things that father said in two years, and continue to learn from the master. The master's skills are superb and mysterious. So far, Yun'er is probably only I have only learned the fifth level, so I want to study hard in these two years, and strive to learn all the skills of the master, and then leave." Lu Wenyu sighed slightly: "You are eighteen years old this year, and you will be twenty years old in two years. Time is so fast. No wonder people often say that life in the mountains is easy to pass, and the world is prosperous for a thousand years! It is so fleeting, so fleeting." Cheng Kong. You have grown up too, and your mother and I don’t have any worries about you anymore. You just need to remember to get back what belongs to you. You still have a long way to go, and we won’t interfere with you In the future, I just hope you can do it yourself." Mother Zhang Huafeng said: "Yun'er, your life has been full of variations and uncertainties. No one can tell what your future will be. Your father and I just hope that your life will be safe. In the past ten years, your illness Although it didn’t get better, but there was no relapse. I believe that if you continue to practice like this, you will get better one day. For this reason, we no longer worry about it. After you have completed two years of learning, you will go for a breakthrough. Start your own career, we will always support you.” Looking at his parents, Lu Yun promised: "Father, don't worry, Yun'er will create a world of his own, and will not bow to fate." In the quiet hut, Lu Yun's voice sounded in the air, like a The oath is like telling the world! The mountains and rivers of Xishu are still beautiful, and the beautiful waters of Xishu are still flowing.Lu Yun, the boy who was born with a disability, is still learning from the weirdo.Two years have passed without knowing it, and the general situation of the world has undergone earth-shaking changes because of Lu Yun's appearance.What secrets are hidden in Lu Yun's life, and what secrets are hidden in the legends of the Lu family?Perhaps, no one can tell.
