I respect him so fragrant

The sun is just right, and sometimes there is a breeze. Next to the two-step-wide bluestone steps are century-old trees with tangled branches that are as high as the sky.

Xie Yao sat on a tree of unknown age, with his back leaning against the trunk, his head resting on his hands, his left leg bent and his right leg hanging naturally in the air, with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, humming a little song and half-squinting his eyes, his expression It looked very cozy.

While he was closing his eyes and recuperating, a young boy's voice suddenly sounded anxious in his ear: "Jiang Gu, hurry up, we are running out of time."

Another boy's voice was cold and indifferent: "Who was sitting on the steps just now and refused to leave, and it wasn't you? Now I'm in a hurry."

"Can't I be wrong? But it will be past noon soon, and we haven't even climbed halfway!"

"I think we can't climb up today."

Xie Yao sat on the tree, listening to the conversation between the two young men, he just found it interesting.Nested in Xianshan for many years, the people who deal with him on weekdays are old and stubborn, their speech and behavior are all old-fashioned and boring, very boring, today I heard two teenagers bickering, it is fresh.

But freshness is freshness, Xie Yao also knows that the rules of the Xianmen Acceptance Conference cannot be broken, and if you miss it, you will miss it, and you can't help without authorization.

There are four immortal gates in Zhufang Continent.There is Zhifeng in the east, cherishing flowers in the west, Wanyue in the south, and accompanying snow in the north. Each of the four immortal gates guards one side to maintain the peace of the world.The Immortal Sect Recruitment Conference is jointly held by the four great immortal sects, once every three years.

This year's Immortal Sect Acceptance Conference was held at Wanyue Gate.Different from the other three immortal sects, if ordinary people want to participate in the gathering of apprentices held by the Wanyue gate, they need to climb the three thousand long steps of the Wanyue fairy mountain before they can go to the top of the mountain to test their spiritual roots.And no means are allowed, offenders will be considered cheating and will be expelled.

It is these three thousand long steps that have stuck countless people who want to cultivate immortals and ask questions.

Xie Yao simply continued to sit, intending to wait for the two of them to go down the mountain before leaving on their own, so as not to disturb the world and cause trouble.

I never thought that there would be a burst of earth-shattering cries: "How can I do that! My parents are still waiting for me to become a fairy and go back to honor my ancestors!"

Xie Yao quickly lowered his head, and found that the one who was crying loudly was a fat boy. His clothes looked brand new and tidy, and they should have just been made.

It was really aimed at Guangzong Yaozu.

And the other boy looked a little thinner, a little shorter, and his clothes were a little shabby.Seeing the fat boy crying, he was a little helpless: "Li Qihan, don't cry... I just said it casually."

Xie Yao raised his eyebrows slightly. It turns out that the fat boy's name is Li Qihan, and the short boy's name is Jiang Gu.

"Woooooo...Jiang Gu, what should we do?"

Li Qihan was crying tears, as if the sky was about to fall, Jiang Gu didn't know what to do, subconsciously fumbled in his sleeves, hoping to find something to cheer him up.

In a hurry, Jiang Gu touched something, and he took it out to see that it was the white bun he brought with him before leaving.

He broke off half of the white bun and put it in Li Qihan's hands, coaxing: "Don't cry, eat this piece of white bun, we'll go down the mountain and go home when we're full, there's always a chance to honor our ancestors."

Only then did Li Qihan barely stop crying, and held the white bun for another sob, then accepted the cruel reality that he had no chance of cultivating immortality in this life, wiped away his tears and sat down to bite the white bun.

Jiang Gu continued to coax him: "It's certainly a good thing to be able to cultivate immortality, but if you can't cultivate, it's no big deal. There are thousands of ways of life for people in the world, and it's not necessarily that only those who cultivate immortality live the best."

Hearing this, Xie Yao suddenly laughed.

Although it was midnight and it was noon, there was a burst of laughter in the silent place for no reason, which still startled Jiang Gu and Li Qihan.

"Who is it!"

"interesting."

Jiang Gu raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw a white shadow flashing in front of his eyes, and when he took a closer look, it was a man in green clothes who jumped down from a big tree beside him. The color is beautiful, the lips are not bright and vermilion, far better than the good colors in the world, and the long jet-black hair was originally held by a simple wooden hairpin, but now it is all scattered on the shoulders, which does not make people feel frivolous , I just think it should be a random thing.

At this moment, Li Qihan's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he even forgot to pick up the white bun in his hand when he dropped it on the ground: "God, god, god, Jiang Gu, have we met a god?"

Jiang Gu looked at the person in front of him cautiously for a moment, and asked, "Which immortal teacher is it? Why did you suddenly appear here?"

Xie Yao took the time to pull up the loose hair, and then saluted, looking serious: "I just happened to pass by."

Suddenly a good-looking man popped out of this barren mountain, Jiang Gu probably lost his mind to believe that he happened to pass by.I often heard the old people in the village say that there are many elves and ghosts in the mountains, and Wanyue Mountain is a first-class blessed land of immortality. Maybe the person in front of me is not a human, but a ghost in human skin.

Could it be a vixen?

If Xie Yao knew that the person in front of him regarded him as a vixen, he would probably vomit blood in anger.He just heard the phrase "People in the world have thousands of ways to live, not necessarily only those who cultivate immortals live the best." He felt that although this young man is young, he has a big heart, and it would be a pity to let him go. So all in all, he simply jumped off the tree and blocked their way back.

It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, Jiang Gu thought to himself, so he pulled Li Qihan to leave.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Xie Yao said twice, and took a step forward: "I see that the two gentlemen want to climb to the top, so let's participate in the Xianmen disciple acceptance meeting."

Jiang Gu paused, turned to look at him and said, "So what?"

"It's almost noon, and the young gentlemen have only just passed half of their journey." Xie Yao frowned slightly, as if worried for them, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to get there."

Li Qihan burst into tears again when he heard the words, but Jiang Gu didn't take it seriously, and said calmly, "I'm sorry for your worries, we already know that we have no chance to prove the Tao, so we are going to go down the mountain."

"You two gentlemen, don't give up in a hurry. I have a way to send you to the top of the mountain." Xie Yao smiled slightly.

"any solution?"

"I Yujian, send you up."

This time Jiang Gu hadn't had time to speak, Li Qihan had already said first: "How can that be done, I heard that the people of Wanyuemen specially set up formations on the mountain, and no one is allowed to fly with their swords."

"You don't understand." Xie Yao waved his wide sleeves, and a light long sword that looked like a fairy roared out. He grasped the silver hilt of the sword, and the word "Moon" was written on the sword Appeared, and a purple streamer flashed faintly.

"This is the spirit sword of the Wanyue Gate. The formation on the mountain only targets the spirit swords outside the Wanyue Gate, but not it." He threw the long sword casually, and a white rainbow pierced the air and fell into Jiang Gu's eyes. On the steps of the two, "If you use this sword to go up the mountain, it will be unimpeded."

Jiang Gudao: "I heard that only people from the Wanyue Sect can use the spiritual weapons in the door. Are you... from the Wanyue Sect?"

Xie Yao didn't answer, but just recalled the long sword, urging the sword body to magnify dozens of times with magic power, and said in an unhurried tone: "It's almost noon, if you don't want to be late, come up quickly."

Li Qihan cheered and ran over immediately.

Jiang Gu hesitated for a while, but still walked over: "I'll ask one last question, and I'll go with you after you answer."

"Just ask."

"After you help us, what do we need to do?"

Xie Yao looked sideways slightly when he heard this, as if he didn't expect this little boy to ask such a sophisticated question.

He thought for a while, and replied: "I don't need you to help me with anything. When you get to the top of the mountain, give me something."

Jiang Gu showed such an expression as expected, then blushed and said, "Tell me, what is it?"

Money, or something else?

"The white bun in your hand."
