Chapter 3: Carefree Years
Mount Hua's immortal gate is hidden among the rosy clouds and windy mists.
On the top of the northern peak, clouds are swirling and winds are circling.
On the top of Beifeng Mountain, there are countless palaces and pavilions. It's amazing that so many palaces and pavilions can be built on such a steep mountain, and one can't help but praise the skills of the fairy family. Behind the northern peak, there is an exquisite courtyard called Changchun Residence, which is the residence of Li Yuanbai, the ninth elder of Beifeng.
The four sides of Changchun House are surrounded by lush trees, and a fence surrounds the Changchun House.
At this time, in the courtyard where Changchun lived, a 15 or 16-year-old boy was standing.
The young man was not very tall and slightly thin, with a clever and cunning look in his eyes.
"After practicing for so long, I'm getting a bit tired. Where should we go to take a stroll?" A sly 15 or 16-year-old boy said with a smile, and suddenly climbed up the tree: "First, let's bask in this warm sunshine on the tree and take a nap, then we'll talk." After saying that, the boy fell asleep on the tree.
"The sun is high up in the sky, it's just right for a nap."
"Lu Yuan, you lazy good-for-nothing." A helpless and aged voice came from the Changchun Abode, it was Li Yuanbai's voice.
That's right, this fifteen- or sixteen-year-old cunning boy was precisely Lu Yuan.
Six years ago, I accidentally slipped and fell, but Master Li Yuanbai thought I was selfless and willing to sacrifice myself to save others, so he took me in as his disciple. It was truly a fortunate encounter brought about by my slip. For the next six years, I followed Master Li Yuanbai and cultivated at the North Peak's Changchun Abode of Mount Hua's Immortal Gate.
Six years of practice, but it's not considered too hard work, and he is often scolded by his master Li Yuanbai as a lazy good-for-nothing.
Fortunately, qualifications are not too bad either.
Of course, the more important reason is that the method is good.
Under the guidance of Master Li Yuanbai, who holds a high position in the school, I am one of the top ten true disciples of Beifeng, and what I have learned is absolutely superior kung fu. The two most powerful techniques of Beifeng - Yunlong Heart Method, which belongs to the heart method category, and Fengyun 108 Swords, which belongs to the sword technique category.
In the world of cultivating immortals, ordinary people simply don't have the qualifications to obtain good skills and methods.
Only a very few people can get extremely good kung fu.
The difference in gongfa also has a significant impact. If you use poor gongfa, it will be twice the effort for half the result, while using good gongfa will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
He had been practicing the two most powerful techniques of Beifeng: Yunlong Heart Method and Fengyun 108 Swords.
With the blessing of Yunlong Xinfu, he himself used only six years of time and didn't cultivate too hard, yet he has already cultivated to the fourth level of Qi Refining Period, the Eight Great Extraordinary Meridians.
The first level of Qigong is the appearance of Qi sensation, at this time the Qi sensation is born, and this pass is easy to reach.
The second refinement is the birth of true energy, transforming the energy into the true energy of a cultivator.
And the third is the twelve regular meridians, which are the twelve regular meridians that allow true qi to penetrate through one's own body.
At this time, he is in the fourth heavy eight extraordinary meridians of the Qigong period, and is using true Qi to impact the eight extraordinary meridians.
The more meridians are opened up by impact, the thicker the true energy will be.
Fine, I don't want to practice anymore. I'll just sleep for now and talk about it later. This is what I call work-life balance. As for being called lazy by my master, I've gotten used to it after six years of being called that.
Being scolded as a lazy good-for-nothing, then just be a lazy good-for-nothing, it's no big deal.
No matter how much I'm scolded, it won't make me lose any flesh.
Talking about meat.
Suddenly remembered, eating meat.
In legend, most of the immortals are mainly vegetarian, to be precise, most of the practitioners in Huashan School also do so.
Unfortunately, Lu Yuan is a treacherous person.
What I like most is eating meat. When I was in Donglin Town, I only ate pork, chicken, goose meat, and dog meat, these four kinds of meat. At that time, I envied beef, but unfortunately, cows were forbidden to be slaughtered, and once they were slaughtered, I would have to go to the government office honestly. But after arriving at Huashan Xiandao, I was able to eat my fill. One of the important motivations for practicing my skills and swordsmanship is that with stronger magical powers and better swordsmanship, it's easier to hunt various wild game. Since then, whatever wild boar, wild chicken, wild rabbit, wild dog, even wolf meat, nothing can escape this mouth of mine.
If Master Li Yuanbai knew that the kung fu and swordsmanship he taught were being used to hunt wild game, just to satisfy his appetite, I wonder what kind of expression he would have.
Lu Yuan always thought he was born to be a foodie.
It's strange, if others eat so well, they should be fat and plump long ago, but themselves have never been fat.
Forget it, thinking of meat, I'll go hunt for game and barbecue at the same time.
——————
A thin and long stick.
There is a rabbit on top of the oven.
This rabbit is fat and big, at this time it has been roasted almost to the point of dripping with oil.
Lu Yuan put cumin on it, and the rabbit that had just been added with cumin was so tempting that people wanted to take a few bites directly.
Hehe, it's going to be enjoyable again.
Next to it was already prepared yellow wine, after a while the rabbit was roasted, and with the yellow wine and the rabbit, one could have a hearty meal, which was truly a great pleasure.
Just then, a sword light flashed by quickly from the side, coming from the east and pointing directly at the rabbit that was about to be roasted. At the same time, another sword light flashed by from the west, also pointing at the rabbit that was about to be roasted. The two sword lights flashed simultaneously, their coldness extreme. Lu Yuan wasn't surprised in the least, his long sword shot out of its scabbard and instantly blocked both sides, tightly protecting the rabbit.
"Dang, dang, dang", the sword waves rolled, the sword intent was extremely cold, in an instant they had exchanged blows many times, the continuous sound of swords clashing, amidst this sound of swords clashing, Lu Yuan shouted: "You two gluttons, if you want to snatch food, no need to be so obvious, rest assured, this time I caught three rabbits, there's a share for you."
It is said that the sword's light was extinguished in an instant.
Two young men appeared.
One boy was chubby and round in build, another boy was thin and slender, with ordinary looks.
The chubby and round one is called Ye Yuan, the thin and slender one is called Ye Fang.
Ye Fang's master was Junzi Jianfang Ru, one of the Beifeng Six Swords Immortals. He ranked ninth among the top ten true disciples. As for Ye Yuan, who was plump and round, his master was Yuanrong Jianye Yang Rong, one of the Beifeng Six Swords Immortals. Ye Yuan himself ranked tenth among the top ten true disciples. Therefore, these two were his ninth junior brother and tenth junior brother.
The six most famous ones of Beifeng are collectively known as the Six Sword Immortals of Beifeng. They include their own master Li Yuanbai, Ye Fang's master Junzi Jianfang Ru, and Ye Yuan's master Yuanyang Jian Ye Yangyong.
To be honest, Ye Fang and Ye Yuan are also foodies.
Lu Yuan had always been a foodie, and Ye Fang and Ye Yuan were the same. One day, the three of them met by chance and became good friends due to their shared love of food, which made their relationship quite pleasant.
It's not the first time that something like what happened with the roasted rabbit, and then the other two came to steal food with swords, has happened. Of course, if Ye Fang and Ye Yuan were roasting delicious food, they would also go to grab it without hesitation, and everyone would be fighting over it in a joyful chaos.
Yefang laughed: "With wine and meat, it's really comfortable."
It's true, with wine and meat, life is comfortable.
No big deal, just fighting with swords, roasting mountain chicken and rabbit, occasionally practicing qigong, or taking a nap under the sun, it was indeed a carefree and joyful period of youth.
These six years, at Huashan Xiandong North Peak, I have been living a pretty good life, carefree and worry-free.
Have to say, six years ago came to Huashan Xiandong, really came to the right place.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be such comfortable days like now.
