Chapter 7, The Immortal Who Walks on Cranes
... ...
He was completely unaware of the conditions for joining the Immortal Sect. His father had bought the only "Apprentice Selection Order," but it was snatched away by the Song family. For now, he could only proceed step by step.
Before Linglong could speak, the group of little beggars began to shout in unison
Duan Xu and the other person were immediately astonished by this surprising change, and then they saw the immortal casually wave his hand, causing them to be swept up by a gust of air and directly land on the back of the celestial crane
The scene before Duan Xu left him utterly astonished
Having purchased some provisions in the city, the two individuals proceeded directly to the mountains to the north
I have promised you.
If this girl can lead me to the immortal gate, then that little bit of silver will be nothing
Northern Mountain Range
Eh?
"Young Master, are you going to the mountains to search for something like those people?" Linglong blinked her eyes as she looked at Duan Xu
After all, they are just a group of children, and it is already quite pitiable for them to become beggars
Hahaha ... ... ! ''
Then you cannot steal my silver either
Expel him!
However, we must wait until tomorrow; after all, there are many wild beasts in the mountains at night, which is not very safe. Moreover, we need to buy some provisions before we can enter the mountains, " Linglong thought for a moment and said
At this moment, Duan Xu also noticed that the hat on the beggar's head had fallen to the ground, and a head of glossy, black, and smooth long hair immediately cascaded down.
At this moment, Linglong also spoke, which brought a look of joy to Duan Xu's face
Moreover, she is a beautiful woman with delicate features, bright eyes, and pearly white teeth
At that moment, the woman suddenly spoke up to stop the actions of the group of children, her eyes filled with tears as she said to Duan Xu: "I did steal your silver, but I had no choice. You can see for yourself, there are so many little ones here. If we can't find food soon, they will starve to death. A single roasted chicken is simply not enough to share."
Fortunately, both individuals had relatively good luck and did not encounter any man-eating beasts such as wolves or tigers. After walking for two days, they finally saw a crane flying overhead, and on the back of that crane stood a man dressed in blue.
Indeed, it is said that there are man-eating monsters in the mountains to the north, and over the years, many hunters who ventured into those areas have been injured
I am too lazy to listen to your nonsensical stories. I, the young master, have come to seek the Immortal Gate. Since you are the local tyrant of this Rock City, let me ask you, do you know about the 'Lingyin Sect'?
This beggar is unexpectedly a woman
"Your sister Linglong has stolen my silver. If you do not comply, I will take her to see the authorities right now, and you will also be considered accomplices. At that time, you will all be locked up!"
The immortal who walked on cranes had originally departed, but in an instant, he flew back, looking at the two people on the ground with a face full of astonishment, or more precisely, looking at Linglong.
Perhaps aware of her own shortcomings, Linglong no longer cried, but instead looked at Duan Xu with curiosity. She furrowed her brows slightly and said, "I haven't heard of any Lingyin Sect, but I have indeed seen some unfamiliar young masters coming to Yancheng recently, most of whom seem to have headed towards the northern mountains."
Linglong, although a girl, is very lively, as if she is filled with curiosity about everything
Duan Xu glared, wanting to retaliate, but ultimately held back
This can no longer be described as a hill, but rather as a mountain range
These children, like Linglong, are orphans from Yancheng, and their lives are quite difficult
That night, Duan Xu slept in the dilapidated temple along with the group of beggars. However, he did not sleep well, as he was worried that Linglong might sneak away during the night, keeping his mind constantly on edge
Duan Xu let out a cold snort. He initially intended to ask the woman to return the silver to him, but when he saw the little beggars around him looking at him eagerly, he found it hard to voice his request. He could only turn to the woman and coldly say, "Are there any steamed buns left? Give one to this young master!"
In the early morning, Linglong looked at Duan Xu, who had a weary expression, with a hint of surprise
There is a birdman
The immortal spoke with a smile on his face, as if bathed in the gentle breeze of spring
Very well, since our meeting is destined, I happen to be returning to my sect, so I will take you all along.
At this moment, his mind is filled with thoughts of how to find the Immortal Gate and how to become a disciple of the Immortal Gate
It was not until he truly entered the mountains that Duan Xu understood what it meant to have lofty and steep mountains
What is a celestial gate
Is the young girl heading to Lingyin Gate
Ah ... ... ?
Hello! You haven't been awake all night, have you
By the way, I still don't know your name
As the laughter of the immortal echoed, the crane let out another cry, and then it flapped its wings and soared high, vanishing in an instant
Having been unjustly slapped, Duan Xu was about to lose his temper, but he saw the beggar squatting on the ground, crying and drawing pictures.
Duan Xu's eyes brightened at the words, and he immediately asked, "Are you familiar with the northern mountain range?"
A hermit is a person who lives in the mountains, a celestial being
What is an immortal?
At this point, he couldn't help but reach out and rub the delicate head, cursing, "What a fool, that is a celestial being!"
I suppose so, can you take me in
"Alright, then tomorrow," Duan Xu said joyfully
Moments later, Duan Xu was munching on a cold steamed bun while listening to the woman's narration
Duan Xu
A group of children, neglecting their meals, rushed in front of Duan Xu, throwing punches and kicks at him
Just when Linglong was at a loss, Duan Xu immediately cupped his hands and spoke with an excited expression
Duan Xu let out a cold snort, and then, together with Ling Long, who had changed back into her male attire, they walked towards the city from the dilapidated temple
Wow! Brother Duan, look!
The immortal smiled and immediately clapped his hand on the crane beneath him. The crane let out a loud and clear cry, and then transformed from its ordinary size into a giant bird measuring ten feet in length
Linglong's keen eyes were the first to notice the unusual behavior of the crane
It is not necessary for you to be concerned!
This is Duan Xu's first reaction
Duan Xu and * Tu * Shu glared fiercely at the group of little beggars, instantly causing the children to shrink back in fear
Duan Xu angrily said: "So you are worried about starving to death, but you don't think about me? I, the young master, just arrived in this Rock City and was robbed of my silver by you. Now I am penniless, without a place to stay, and I have been hungry for a whole day!"
Duan Xu coldly spoke, not wanting to engage in further conversation with this female beggar
Replying to the immortal, we indeed wish to go to Lingyin Gate to join the immortal sect
You bunch of little rascals
The woman was taken aback by his words, and she stopped crying, staring blankly at Duan Xu
A little white rabbit has appeared in the beggar's den
As far as the eye can see, there are mountains, seemingly without end
Stop it all!
If it were not for the need to find a place to rest, I would not have encountered you again
Oh ... ...
Sister Linglong, do not go!
Someone is actually walking on a crane!
The villain actually bullied Sister Linglong
Duan Xu looked at Linglong and added, "If you take me inside, I will not pursue the matter of you stealing my silver."
The girl's name is Linglong, and she is an orphan from Yancheng. In order to avoid being bullied by bad people, she disguises herself as a boy while also taking care of so many children
