Great Xuan In the northwest border, deep in a remote mountain, there is a village with a nice name.

Welcome Immortals Village.

Today, it happens to be Sun Aji's turn to guard the "Xian Road".

The fourteen-year-old girl sat on a large Shitou halfway up Fallen Immortal Mountain, with a blush unique to this place on her face.

She boredly picked at the blades of grass at her feet, picked one up, and threw one away, muttering to herself.

In fact, she didn't want to guard some immortal path, she might as well keep the sheep at home.

But the village chief said that he must stay here at all times, saying that he would be the first to see an immortal if he came.

Sun Aji curled his lips, it couldn't be that easy.

The first two immortals were separated by more than five hundred years. By the time she saw the third one, even her bones would have turned into ashes.

She was killing time while wandering around the area to see if she could collect medicinal herbs and sell them for money.

If she hadn't been afraid of being scolded by the village chief's grandfather, she would have gone home to herd the sheep. Today, the three lambs at home could only eat hay.

Actually, Welcome Immortals Village was not called by this name at first.

The village was originally called Sun Family Village. There were about three hundred people in the village, and most of them had the surname Sun.

Sun Family Village is on the northwest border of the Great Xuan Dynasty. The road is long and difficult to travel, and there is no mineral wealth. Therefore, although it is on the territory of Great Xuan, in fact, even the government has no control over it, and no one in the village knows who the emperor is.

When people from the government came, they didn't even bother to drink water because they thought the place was poor.

There is a mountain behind the village, shaped like a short hat, named Short Hat Mountain.

This mountain is strange.

It doesn't look high, but no one has ever climbed to the top.

Some young hunters did not believe in evil and went to climb together. As a result, they had difficulty breathing and their waist and knees were weak before they climbed halfway.

An Orion said that the feeling is like a mountain pressing on your chest, and every time you take a breath, you have to use the strength of sucking.

If someone hadn't quickly pulled him back with a rope, he would have died on the spot on the mountain.

Since then, Short Hat Mountain has become a forbidden area.

The village chief strictly ordered that no one should climb beyond the marked line, which was the place where the hunters last arrived.

There are no mineral deposits on Short Hat Mountain. Fortunately, there are many trees and medicinal materials on the mountain.

The villagers rely on collecting herbs and live a fairly comfortable life.

Things changed five hundred years ago.

That day, someone suddenly came out of Short Hat Mountain. No one knew how he came. When they found him, he was already lying at the foot of Short Hat Mountain.

The man was seriously injured and fell unconscious. Fortunately, he was rescued by a kind-hearted family.

The family's surname was also Sun, and he was an honest herbal collector. He happened to meet him when he was collecting herbs. Seeing that the man was still alive, he carried him home and fed him rice soup for three days.

When the other villagers found out, they didn't take it seriously and just thought it was some unlucky hunter who fell from the mountain.

As a result, when the man woke up, he could fly into the clouds and set fire.

He stood at the entrance of the village, clouds formed under his feet, and the fireball in his hand spun like a windmill, making the whole village's eyes almost pop out.

The villagers hurriedly bowed down and kowtowed, for fear of offending each other.

After the man healed his injury, he gave the Orion a pill.

Orion's old father, who had been paralyzed in bed for ten years due to a fall and serious illness, recovered immediately after taking it, and even the hidden injuries on his body when he was young disappeared.

The old man later went up the mountain to cut firewood every day. When he was over eighty years old, he could still carry two bundles of firewood down the mountain. Finally, he lived in good health until he was a hundred years old.

Everyone in Sun Family Village thought they had met a god, and they all regretted it. Why didn't they carry the person to their home at that time?

Everyone hurriedly ran to Short Hat Mountain to take a look and found that there was an extra cave on the mountain.

The entrance to the cave is not big, and can accommodate three people walking side by side. However, the stone stubble at the entrance is very new and appeared just after it was opened.

Everyone judged that it should be related to the "god".

Some villagers believed that this was the passage leading to the fairyland and walked in one after another.

As a result, after walking less than ten steps, it was like hitting an invisible wall and being bounced back. No matter how hard I tried, it was of no avail. My shoulders were bruised by the collision, but the wall didn't move at all.

The villagers could only classify this matter as "no fate".

Since then, Sun Family Village has officially changed its name to Welcome Immortals Village, and Short Hat Mountain has changed its name to Fallen Immortal Mountain.

Many villagers stood guard at the entrance of the cave day and night, waiting for the next immortal. The village chief made a rule that this matter could only be spread within the village. Once outsiders, especially the government, knew about it, there would be no good consequences.

Later, Welcome Immortals Village guarded the place for several generations. Hundreds of years passed, and no second immortal appeared.

After the first group of villagers died, the remaining villagers began to doubt whether the story was true or not, thinking that their ancestors had made it up to entertain children.

Gradually there was no one to guard it.

The grass in the Shitou cracks at the entrance of the cave withered and grew longer, changing one crop after another.

Just when everyone was about to forget this legend, one day seven years ago, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old walked out of the cave with a pale face.

He looked a little weak, but there were no injuries on his body and he was awake.

This incident happened to be encountered by a villager Sun Daniu who was grazing here, and he quickly took him to his home to rest.

Sun Daniu knew that he might have met the legendary immortal.

That boy is none other than Lin Feng.

Lin Feng rested at Sun Daniu's house for two days, drank several bowls of porridge and ate a plate of mutton, and his condition was almost restored.

Just when he was about to stand up and say goodbye, he saw Sun Daniu kneeling on the ground with a plop, banging his forehead on the ground, praying for blessings from the immortals.

Lin Feng hurriedly said that he was not an immortal.

Sun Daniu doesn't believe it, how could someone from Fallen Immortal Mountain not be an immortal?

Lin Feng thought hard and finally left a dagger for himself to Sun Daniu.

The dagger was completely green and black, its blade glowed with cold light, and the handle was wrapped with a non-slip cloth strip.

Lin Feng is a little embarrassed. This is a dagger given to him by his brother Lin Chuan. It can barely be regarded as Semi-Law Artifact. There is really nothing else to give as a gift.

Sun Daniu felt like he had found a treasure, holding it in both hands and raising it above his head.

Lin Feng refused Sun Daniu's attempt to stay, and quietly left Welcome Immortals Village at night in order to find fortuitous opportunity.

When the village chief found out, he felt very regretful, slapped his thigh and sighed.

But the dagger has already belonged to Sun Daniu. It belongs to the same village, so it is not easy to take it by force.

Sun Daniu showed it in front of everyone. It was worthy of being a treasure given by an immortal. The dagger cut iron like clay and was definitely a magic weapon.

Sun Daniu It is easy to use it to chop trees and dig medicinal materials, and the blade does not curl at all and does not rust at all.

One time he tried cutting Shitou with it, and when the knife went down, Shitou split into two halves, leaving not even a white mark on the blade.

The villagers call him the magic soldier.

Some villagers also said that Sun Daniu had lost money and should let the immortal take him to become an immortal.

Since then, people in Welcome Immortals Village have completely believed in the legend that immortals will come.

Some people stopped collecting medicines and herding cattle and sheep. They waited for the immortals at the entrance of the cave every day, causing many conflicts and even fighting.

Later, the village chief ordered that all villagers take turns to wait for the immortal in the cave. When the immortal arrived, he blessed the whole village.

At this point, everyone has reached an agreement.

For seven years, every day, no matter it was windy or rainy, there was always someone guarding here.

On rainy days, I would put on my raincoat and squat at the entrance of the cave. In the winter, I would hide in my sheepskin jacket, my nose frozen into ice.

Today, it happens to be Sun Aji's turn.

Sun Aji was in high spirits when he first came here. Maybe he could be blessed by an immortal and make himself smarter.

As a result, seven years later, no matter how great the enthusiasm was, it was gone.

Later, she figured it out. The first two immortals were separated by more than five hundred years. According to this interval, let alone blessings, when the next immortal came, she would be like a handful of loess.

However, there is nothing gained by coming here to guard.

The medicinal plants near the cave grow more densely and larger than elsewhere in Fallen Immortal Mountain.

The same herb, which is only as high as a palm elsewhere, can grow up to the knees here.

Therefore, collecting herbs is the key.

Moreover, Sun Aji seems to be particularly sensitive to the location of medicinal materials and can always find things that others have overlooked. This is her new ability last year.

Sun Aji

Relying on this ability, she found a lot of medicinal materials while herding sheep, and others just thought she was lucky.

Sun Aji just dug out a piece of rhizome that no one else had found. His face was flushed and his mouth was grinning.

The stem is as thick as a child's arm, with complete fibrous roots and the moisture of soil.

This piece of medicinal material was sold in the town, which was enough to feed her family of eight for five days.

What a great harvest.

She was about to look to the side again, when suddenly, her feet shook.

Not able to stand firm?

But why is this shaking getting worse and worse?

No, it's not her who's shaking, it's the mountain that's shaking.

The whole mountain was rumbling like an earthquake, and the gravel on the hillside was lifted up and fell down again.

There was Shitou rolling down the hillside, rolling faster and faster, raising yellow dust all the way.

Sun Aji was so frightened that he hurriedly ran down the mountain.

The strange thing is that when we reached the bottom of the mountain, we stopped shaking. My knees were still shaking when my feet stepped on the flat ground.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled sound came from inside the mountain.

The sound was like someone beating a drum in the belly of the mountain. The sound was so muffled that it made one's teeth ache.

Sun Aji couldn't help but wonder, is the mountain about to collapse? Fortunately, I collected this medicinal material.

Then, the most surprising thing happened to her.

In the cave, a person suddenly ran out.

To be precise, it was thrown out.

The figure flew out of the cave entrance, turned somersaults in the air, and fell heavily on the gravel ground outside the cave.

From a distance, Sun Aji could only see that the man was tall and covered in blood. His clothes were torn in pieces, and his exposed skin was full of wounds.

Lying face down, motionless.

Then, with a violent shaking, the hole was closed.

The entire mountain wall was closed together, as if there had never been a hole.

Sun Aji looked at all this in disbelief.

Really... are there really immortals?

She didn't dare to step forward to check. Her legs were faster than her brain and she had already run towards the village.

While running, I yelled, my voice almost broke:,.

"Grandpa Village Chief!!! Immortal! Immortal is here!"
