Modern: I prove the supernatural as a mortal

Chapter 158 Girl, Old Man, Swordsmanship and Alchemy

Zhongnan Mountain, also known as Taiyi Mountain.Looking around, there are many mountains and peaks, stretching for more than 200 kilometers, the environment is quiet, the clouds are misty, and it has the titles of "the crown of the cave" and "the most blessed place in the world", and there are many legends.

There are bursts of verdant mountains and forests, cascading waterfalls, and birds chirping from time to time. It is pure and peaceful, like a place outside the world.

Tang Li carried a backpack and walked among the mountains and forests.

He explored mountains and rivers, searched for strange objects, and perceived more mysteries of heaven and earth.

After trekking all the way, at this time, he came to the famous Taoist mountain: Zhongnan Mountain.

"The first mountain of Taoism, it's really good..."

Feeling the beauty of the mountains and rivers, the freshness of the world, Tang Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It is said that in Zhongnan Mountain, Yin Xi, the official of Hangu Pass, once lived in Jielou, felt the purple air coming from the east, met Lao Tzu, and prayed for the Tao, so he was taught the Tao Te Ching with five thousand words, and the Taoist scriptures originated from this, with a long history.

Zhongnan Mountain is also known as the "Kingdom of Herbal Medicine". Throughout the ages, many Taoists have built alchemy here to cultivate truth and seek Taoism.

Today, many people, tired of the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the city, come to this mountain alone to live in huts in search of peace and purity.

……

time lapse.

Alternating day and night.

Tang Li wandered among the mountains of Zhongnan Mountain, feeling the hidden heritage and spirituality of this famous Taoist mountain.

According to the excerpts from the manuscripts of the mysterious gray-robed man, Zhongnan Mountain was originally a primitive and pure place, where many exotic flowers and plants were bred, and where the spirit of heaven and earth gathered.The mysterious gray-robed man even recorded that when he was traveling in Zhongnan Mountain, he once met a Taoist, rode a white deer, and stepped on the clouds. I don't know if it was his imagination, or was it true, or was it an exaggeration?

Maybe it's because of the change of times, and in Zhongnan Mountain, it is hard to find rare things.

Another day.

The morning sun was pouring down, and Tang Li was climbing on a cliff.

The cliffs are tall and steep, with jagged rocks, cut like a knife, straight like a sword, straight into the sky, and there are waterfalls cascading down, like a jade dragon hanging.

Tang Li carried a backpack and climbed with his bare hands. His five fingers were like jade, and they were like iron hooks. With a light hook, his body swayed, and he jumped and climbed between the cliffs like a leopard.Before I knew it, I didn't know how many meters I had climbed, and there were waves of clouds and mist floating around, wandering around indistinctly.

"what?"

Suddenly, Tang Li seemed to feel something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked up.

On the top of the cliff, a plant of grass stood quietly.The grass is four or five inches high, with four leaves. The stems and leaves are as green as jade, and the leaves are as crystal clear as emeralds. There are bursts of white air lingering, emitting a fragrance, rich and fresh.

Tang Li felt a trace of primitive and pure air on this plant of grass.

"On Zhongnan Mountain, there is indeed a strange thing..."

Tang Li was overjoyed, and climbed towards the top of the cliff.

"Um--"

While climbing, Tang Li looked sideways.

On the other side of the cliff, there were people climbing the cliff.

This is a slender and vigorous young girl, with a wooden sword on her back, stepping on the cliff stone, dexterous like an ape, climbing towards the top of the cliff.

The girl also noticed Tang Li, took a look, and climbed up again.

The girl's goal also seems to be planting grass.

"Ah……"

Tang Li looked at it, and a look of interest flashed in his eyes, he climbed the cliff and jumped up.

On both sides of the cliff, the two climbed up and down.

The girl was dexterous, and obviously had a good background in martial arts, sometimes like a bird, sometimes like an antelope, ape, or leopard, she climbed up and down with Tang Li, climbing towards the top of the cliff.

Seeing that the two of them were only two or three meters away from the top of the cliff, and there was only one or two steps left between the two of them, Tang Li stepped on the sole of his foot, as if walking on flat ground, his sleeves fluttered, and his body spun around. And like a goshawk, it landed on the top of the cliff.

"what?"

"how can that be……"

The girl clasped the cliff stone with her fingers and stuck it on the stone wall. Looking at this scene, her face was full of disbelief.

In the world, is there such light work?

Tang Li stepped on the top of the cliff and looked at the girl.

"Humph!"

The girl gritted her teeth, snorted coldly in disbelief, clasped her five fingers on the cliff stone, leaped like a leopard, and stepped on the top of the cliff in an instant.

"The one with the highest skill wins, how about it?"

The girl looked at Zhicao, then at Tang Li, raised her eyebrows, and said.

"Oh?"

Tang Li smiled and said, "Okay."

"Then be careful!"

While scolding lightly, the girl lowered her body, reached out her hand and pulled out the wooden sword behind her back, stepped on her foot, her whole body swam like a snake, and appeared in front of Tang Li in an instant. Stab to.

Tang Li moved his fingers together to block the wooden sword.

"You only deal with me with two fingers?"

girl said.

Tang Li said: "It should be enough."

"Hmph, how dare you look down on me!?"

The girl's pretty face turned cold, her body turned around, her body bowed and her arms spread like a white crane's wings, and she swung out a sword at Tang Li.

Tang Li leaned back, pointed his hands together like swords, and stretched out his arms, pointing at the girl's eyebrows.

The girl was quick to respond, and with a backhand sword on one side of her head, she turned her head to look at the moon, and pointed her sword at Tang Li's throat.

The two switched offense and defense, and in an instant, they had already experienced more than ten rounds of confrontation.

Tang Li's eyes flickered as he watched the girl perform her sword skills.

The young girl has obviously practiced and studied hard in swordsmanship, and her talent and talent seem to match the sword intent.

……

"Look at my sword again!"

The girl's snow-white forehead was already slightly sweating, she gritted her teeth and drank in a low voice, stretched her body, extended her arms, and moaned softly with the long sword in her hand, like lightning, the human sword merged into one, drew a thin line in the grass, and stabbed at Tang Li. Come.

"Ok?"

"good."

Tang Li slightly nodded, stepped forward, pointed out with two fingers like a sword, and collided with the wooden sword in the girl's hand.Buzzing, there was a buzzing sound, the wooden sword in the girl's hand flew out, and it circled in the air several times, a sword pierced through the trunk of a tree, and nailed it to the tree.

"ah--"

The girl exclaimed in surprise, and then looked at the wooden sword nailed to the tree, with her mouth slightly open, her face full of disbelief.

"you……"

"Could it be a real person?"

The girl suddenly seemed to think of something, looked at Tang Li, a look of longing and expectation flashed in her eyes, and said.

Tang Lidao: "Just an ordinary martial arts enthusiast."

"Ordinary martial arts enthusiasts, can they step on the cliff in the air?"

"Can I fly my wooden sword with one finger, pierce the tree, and just nail it to the tree?"

"I don't know if others believe it or not, but I don't believe it anyway."

The girl reached out and pulled out the wooden sword nailed to the tree, put it on her back again, looked at the grass on the ground, her expression became a little sad again, and said: "I lost, this grass belongs to you."

Tang Li looked at the girl and said, "You really want this plant?"

In fact, this plant of grass is not necessary for Tang Li.

The purity of the primordial and pure aura of this grass plant is similar to that of corals on the bottom of the sea. Now, Tang Li also has reserves in his body, and there is no shortage of such a plant.

The girl said: "My master needs such medicinal herbs for alchemy. It is hard to find such quality herb."

"Alchemy?"

Hearing this, Tang Li raised his eyebrows, his eyes became interested, and said, "Can you take me to see it?"

In modern times, does anyone still practice alchemy?

Tang Li was a little curious.

"Okay!"

"If Master knows that a real person is going to visit him, he should be very happy."

The girl agreed.

……

……

"Master, a real person has come to visit you!"

Not long after, the girl brought Tang Li to a mountain peak.On the mountain, there is a thatched hut planted with flowers and trees, quiet and elegant.

During the conversation, Tang Li also knew that the girl's name was Xia Yuluan, and she was adopted by her master since childhood and lived in Zhongnan Mountain.

"What real person?"

An old man stepped out of the hut.The old man has a pale face, silver hair, a ruddy complexion, a tall and straight body, a white beard hanging down his chest, and a kind of floating air.

The old man's name is Xia Yuan, and he is Xia Yuluan's master.

"what?"

Seeing Tang Li, Xia Yuan was slightly startled, and then his eyes narrowed, and in an instant, a faint blue light appeared in his eyes, which became a little mysterious.

"Qi Qishu?"

Looking at this scene, Tang Li's eyes flickered slightly.

He once read in a Daoist book that in ancient times, the art of hopeful qi could detect the mechanism of qi, and even read feng shui to perceive good and bad.

"Hold Qi to form a pill?"

"how is this possible--"

"It's really real?"

Looking at Tang Li, Xia Yuan looked astonished, astonished, and couldn't believe it.

"Xia Yuan is lucky to have a real person, extremely honored!" Afterwards, Xia Yuan saluted Tang Li, saying.

"Master Xia is serious." Tang Li replied politely.

"So you are really real?"

Xia Yuluan looked at Tang Li with flickering eyes, a little curious, but also yearning and yearning.

"I heard that Master Xia can make alchemy?"

Tang Li asked.

Xia Yuan said: "It's just a little research."

"If Tang Zhenren doesn't dislike it, please go to the house and talk about it."

Xia Yuan said.

"Okay." Tang Li nodded.

Xia Yuan led Tang Li into the hut, and Xia Yuluan followed.Although it is a hut, the area of ​​the house is not small. It has a yard, a hall, and a living room. It is simple and well-furnished.

In the hall, there is a pill furnace, simple and old.On the surrounding wall cabinets, there are bottles of refined medicine pills.

"If Master Tang is interested, you can take a look."

Xia Yuan pointed to the elixir on the closet and said.

Tang Li took a bottle of elixir, which is a kind of nourishing elixir, which can replenish vitality, and even faintly feel a trace of primitive and pure qi.

Xia Yuan's alchemy technique seems to be somewhat sophisticated.

"By the way, Master, Master Tang and I found a special plant today."

Xia Yuluan took out the grass on the top of the cliff.

"Oh?" Xia Yuan felt the primitive and pure air in the planting grass, his eyes lit up, and said: "This herb is good, but unfortunately, there is only one plant, otherwise, I might be able to refine a higher-grade one among the ancient prescriptions." Elixir."

"What if you add these?"

Tang Li took out a small bottle of powder made from seabed coral, and said.

"Hahaha——" Xia Yuan felt the original and pure breath of coral powder, and a trace of excitement and emotion flashed in his eyes, and said: "With these, I may really be able to try refining the elixir from the ancient prescription."

"Since Tang Zhenren is here, I will practice alchemy today, and I will be lucky with Tang Zhenren's luck. I can't guarantee that I will succeed."

Xia Yuan laughed.
