Chapter 293 Transforming Oneself Into a Mountain

Wuyidu.

Chu Ning appeared in the misty mountain forest.

The fog stretched for hundreds of miles, and Chu Ning's consciousness spread. In the center of the fog, at the beginning of the Wuyi River, there was a dragon living here.

The mist is emanating from this dragon snake.

The wind follows the tiger, the clouds follow the dragon, and the dragon snake brings mist.

At this moment, the dragon snake with a body of a hundred feet was trembling and coiled in place, not daring to move. A pair of snake eyes looked at Chu Ning with fear.

For Jiao Snake, he has been practicing here for seven hundred years and is only one step away from entering the Nascent Soul, but this strong human race in front of him makes his heart palpitate.

"I am entrenched here and have never harmed anyone. I am only using the fog to prevent humans from entering."

The dragon snake spoke tremblingly, and Chu Ning said calmly: "Take this pill and become my mountain-protecting spirit beast. I will promise you the Nascent Soul in the future."

Chu Ning flicked his right hand and shot out a pill. The snake took it, with a look of hesitation on his face, but he didn't dare not to swallow it.

After the elixir entered his stomach, Jiao Snake's eyes lit up. He found that the demon power in his body had become purer, and many impurities were expelled.

Monster beasts like them also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth when they practice, but they are different from the human race. The human race's cultivation method can exclude most of the impurities in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but their monster beasts cannot do this, along with the impurities absorbed together.

For this reason, if they want to break through, they need to spend a lot of time to remove the impurities of demonic power from their bodies. If they fail to remove them, they will definitely not be able to withstand the thunder tribulation.

"Thank you for giving me the elixir, senior. I am willing to be a mountain guardian spirit beast for you."

The dragon snake no longer had the fear it had before. This senior's realm was unfathomable. Any pill could remove impurities from his body. It would not be aggrieved to follow such a strong man as a mountain guardian spirit beast.

Chu Ning nodded, ignored the snake, and bowed towards the surrounding mountains: "Everyone, occupying this precious land will offend you."

After the words fell, Chu Ning formed a seal with his hands, thinking that the mountain seeds of Tangshan had fallen into these mountains and forests.

Give birth to the soul of the mountain.

The first step is to enter the mountain with your body.

This is also the reason why Chu Ning wants to attack the three families in the Sky Fire Domain first. After he enters the mountain with his body, he can generally no longer leave Nian Tangshan, and his consciousness will fall into a deep sleep.

The mountain soul is determined by the original heart, but by consciousness.

The so-called original intention is Chu Ning's behavior without conscious control.

Chu Ning stood on the top of Ningtang Mountain. The soles of her feet were first slowly covered by rocks. After a few months, there was a layer of stone film all over her body.

From a distance, it looks like a stone man.

First the stone man, then the boulder.

A year later, Chu Ning turned into a huge rock, and the height of Nian Tangshan returned to ten thousand feet.

The dragon snake flew around Nian Tangshan, but the look of shock in its eyes became more and more intense.

There was a place shrouded in mist on the mountainside. Although he didn't dare to go in, he felt the breath of the elixir.

Just one of these elixirs could allow him to break through to the Nascent Soul.

Jiao She didn't dare to be careful. For someone who could plant so many high-level elixirs, crushing himself to death would be the same as crushing a bug.

The dragon snake finally lay down under the boulder and decided to quietly be the guardian beast of the mountain.

…

…

Wuyidu.

The boatmen in Wuyidu were all shocked after the strong wind.

The boatmen discovered that the fog that filled one side of the river had disappeared.

Their true appearance was revealed in the misty mountains and forests where they had been passed down from generation to generation.

A mountain with a height of ten thousand feet.

Are there such high peaks in the Misty Mountain Forest?

Although they did not dare to enter the Misty Mountain Forest, some of their ancestors had gone in there, and the old gentlemen in the city had also spoken about the situation in the Misty Mountain Forest.

These old gentlemen knew from some ancient books in the city that there were clusters of peaks in the misty mountain forest, but they never said there were such high peaks.

Although the fog dissipated, the boatmen still did not dare to approach. At the same time, news about the Wuyidu fog dispersing began to spread around.

More and more people from around came to watch the excitement, but the legends of the Misty Mountain Forest for so many years made these people just look at it, and no one dared to try to climb the mountain.

…

…

In winter, it is covered with snow.

"Xiao Mian, grandpa caught some big fish today. He will sell them at the market later and buy some new sets of clothes for Xiao Mian."

In a thatched house not far from Wuyidu, there was a man with a stooped body and a happy look on his weather-beaten face.

"Grandpa, drink some hot water to warm yourself up first."

The little girl wisely lifted the kettle on the coal stove and poured a bowl of hot tea for the old man: "Grandpa, Xiaomian has clothes to wear. There is no need to buy new clothes."

The little girl touched the little cotton-padded jacket on her body. The embroidery patterns on the cotton-padded jacket had become blurry and could not be seen clearly. She stretched out her hand and exposed half of her arm.

"I want to buy something. Your cotton-padded jacket is too short. Wait at home for grandpa to come back."

The old man touched his granddaughter's head. His son and daughter-in-law died early, leaving such a granddaughter to depend on him.

After taking a sip of hot water, the old man walked out of the hut, closed the wooden door of the hut, and then picked up the fish basket on the left side.

The fish basket is empty, there is no fish anywhere.

It snowed a lot this year and the rivers were frozen, making it impossible to catch any fish.

The old man put the fish basket on his waist again and took a hatchet from the small house where the firewood was piled. He was going to try his luck in the mountains to see if he could catch some game.

In the past, no one dared to climb the mountain because of the fog. The nobles in the city had to go out to buy game if they wanted to eat it. A rabbit could be sold for two taels of silver.

Although the fog is gone now, people still dare not go to the mountains and forests.

The old man decided to go to the mountains and forests. For the sake of his granddaughter, they had no choice but to take risks if they wanted to survive this winter.

A quarter of an hour later, the old man arrived at the foot of the Wuyidu mountain peak.

The snow was too thick, and the road here was impossible to walk. The old man's knees were all covered with snow, so it was naturally uncomfortable to walk.

The old man regretted a little. With such thick snow on the ground, even if he encountered a hare or the like, he might not be able to catch it.

Just when the old man was about to retreat, several figures suddenly appeared around him.

Several men holding long knives were staring at him warily. The old man turned pale with fright. Could it be that he had encountered a bandit?

The old gentleman who had heard of the book before said that there are many bandits in the world, but because of the fog in Wuyidu, no bandits come here.

"Who are you?"

"I...I'm a fisher...fisherman?"

"What are the fishermen doing here?"

"The river... the river is frozen. I... I'm here to see if I can catch any game, and take... take it to sell."

The old man's voice stammered. Several men looked at each other and saw murderous intent in their companions' eyes.

This old man is a nearby fisherman. If he is allowed to leave, their traces may be revealed.

"Let the old man go."

A young man appeared. Even if it was a snowy day, the man was only wearing strong clothes.

"Mr. Xiao?"

Several middle-aged men were a little anxious.

However, the man in strong clothes ignored these people, but walked to the old man's side and took out a few taels of silver from his waist.

"Old man, this winter is not easy. My guys scared you. This money is an apology."

"It can't be done...it can't be done."

The two of them didn't dare to pick it up. The man in strong clothes smiled slightly, released the old man's hand, and placed the broken silver in the old man's palm.

"A heartfelt request, old man, you haven't seen us today."

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded: "No... I haven't seen it before."

Watching the old man leave, the man in Jinyi glanced at the people around him and said calmly: "If this old man is killed, what is the difference between us and those people?"

"But sir, what if this old man blows the whistle on our whereabouts?"

"He won't."

Mr. Xiao smiled lightly. The old man was a fisherman. He wanted a stable life and would not be tempted by money. If he were a young fisherman, he might be tempted.

"Let's go into the mountains."

…

…

Spring passes and autumn comes.

The boatmen of Wuyidu finally dared to go to the foot of the mountain. After discovering that they would not be poisoned, more and more boatmen started hunting outside of punting.

Wuyi Mountain.

This is the name that the people of Wuyidu gave to this mountain that suddenly appeared.

"Uncle Xiao, my grandfather...he's gone."

Many people who are good at hunting from other places have migrated to the foot of Wuyi Mountain, and they are all distant relatives of the local people.

Xiao Erlang is the most powerful among these hunters.

The people of Wuyidu only know that Mr. Xiao is Old Man Li's distant cousin, and that Old Man Li came to join him three years ago.

With the help of Xiao Erlang, the life of Old Man Li, whose grandfather and grandson depended on each other, also got better.

The man was silent for a while after hearing Xiao Mian's words.

"Have you chosen a cemetery for your grandfather?"

"No."

Xiaomian's eyes were red, her grandfather passed away very well. She was only eight years old and didn't know how to organize a funeral.

"Then bury your grandfather in Wuyi Mountain."

"I listen to Uncle Xiao."

The old man was finally buried on a hundred-meter-high hillside of Wuyi Mountain. Not many people saw him off during the burial. Apart from Xiaomian, there were only Xiao Erlang and another little boy.

Under the boulder on the top of the mountain, the snake's eyelids blinked, and finally closed again.

It's early spring in the third year of Wuyi Mountain.

The first tomb appeared.

After the old man was buried and passed away, Xiao Mian followed Xiao Erlang.

six years later.

"Brother Yan, wait for me."

On Wuyi Mountain, the boy walked quickly, and the girl behind him panted.

The young man stopped, but not because of the girl calling behind him, but because a Taoist temple appeared in front of him.

When was there a Taoist temple on the mountain?

The young man has lived at the foot of Wuyi Mountain for nearly ten years, but he never knew there was a Taoist temple on the mountain.

"Brother Yan, Uncle Xiao has told us not to let us climb too high. Let's go back quickly." The girl caught up and tried to persuade her before she even saw the Taoist temple.

"Xiao Mian, there is a Taoist temple here, let's go in and take a look first."

The young man shook his head. He was now curious about when this Taoist temple appeared and whether there was anyone in the Taoist temple.

"Yet...it's better not to."

Xiaomian looked at the Taoist temple in front with some curiosity in her eyes, but thinking of Uncle Xiao's explanation, she quickly shook her head.

"What are you afraid of? We are all here, just take a look."

The young man ignored it and walked straight towards the Taoist temple. However, the entire Taoist temple was empty.

"Brother Yan, let's go. This Taoist temple is so eerie and scary."

The girl pulled the corner of the boy's clothes. The boy was a little regretful. He had been to the city several times and heard that the scholar had said that there were some powerful people living in some high mountains, and there were even immortals. If he met them, he would get the chance to become immortals.

"Hey, what is this?"

Just when the young man turned to leave, he suddenly found a book in the corner of the Taoist temple.

""Niu Mo Jin", is this a martial arts secret book?"

The young man picked up the book and flipped through it, feeling very happy.

"Xiao Mian, I found a powerful martial arts secret book."

"Brother Yan is amazing."

The girl didn't know what the powerful martial arts secrets were, but she was happy because her brother was so happy.

The two left the Taoist temple happily, but they did not notice that on the eaves of the Taoist temple, a giant python was lying there, staring at the two of them until they reached the foot of the mountain.
