Penglai has always been a place where gods gather in the eyes of the world.

This immortal mountain is located in the sea to the west of the East China Sea, near Guixu. If you look down from mid-air, the vast scenery of the smoke and waves will make people feel like a dream.

The ruins are famous for their ability to absorb the water of the world's rivers and oceans, but for some reason, the water surface has always remained as flat as a mirror, never rising or falling. However, under the surface of the water, there is actually an undercurrent surging, and there is no bottom.

There is a spring in the ruins, and there are bursts of fairy mist floating on it. The water that overflows outwards is different from the water of rivers and oceans, milky white as agar, but extremely poisonous.

In the last level of mortal cultivation of immortals, you need to drink the Tongxian soup to distinguish the body of the immortal. And that Tongxian soup comes from this spring.

The Tongxian Grand Ceremony is held once every three years, and every time before the ceremony, there are Penglai disciples who drive the immortal boat, float on the ruins, and use the Shennong immovable lock used by Shennong to collect herbs to hang down the immortal barrel, and enter the spring to take the soup.

The immovable lock is not only a thing used by Shennong, but also full of natural spiritual power, which can not only help the soup bucket to enter the spring without deviation, but also firmly fix the bucket no matter how strong the wind blows, so that not a drop of water in the bucket will splash out.

Despite this, scooping up the Tongxian soup is also a very dangerous task, which must be completed by a disciple who has become an immortal, otherwise if the operation is not done properly, the disciple who takes the soup will be sucked into the ruins with people and boats, and there is no possibility of survival. Legend has it that the milky soup can eat away at people's flesh and blood, and if you accidentally fall into it, it will be corroded into a pile of white bones in an instant.

Since returning to the ruins is so dangerous, Penglai has protected this place very well since it was established, so for thousands of years, I have never heard of anyone really falling into it.

Penglai Xianshan Zhong Lingyuxiu, because it has a long reputation in the human world, and the proportion of immortals is much higher than other famous mountains and rivers in the Central Plains, so there are countless disciples who come to admire, among which there are not a few people with outstanding immortal resources.

The head of Penglai, Wankong Dao, followed his master to kill demons in the rivers and lakes in his early years, and was a big hero on the same level as the Xingyue brothers. At that time, he, like them, would make the demons and monsters fear the mention of his name.

Later, the so-called Demon Infant was destroyed, and Wankong was in retreat, so he escaped the catastrophe.

Now that the demon clan and the ghost clan have not appeared again, even if he is idle, he is either teaching his disciples every day, or writing poems and playing chess. If not, he will step on his Nayin gourd and go to travel everywhere. In the eyes of others, this kind of day is naturally envious of the dead man's two words: leisure.

Penglai has a total of 30,000 disciples, and there are nearly 3,000 people under the Wankong Dao Changmen alone. Among them, the most powerful is his eldest apprentice, named Wu Xiuyuan.

Wu Xiuyuan has stayed by Wankong's side for more than a hundred years, and he has always been loyal and uncomplaining to help him manage the affairs of the entire Penglai, which makes him, a master, very relieved.

Wu Xiuyuan has a peculiar thing, that is, he never smiles, and he seems to be frowning all day long, and his heart is heavy. But for a hundred years, no one could guess what he was worried about.

On this day, the head of Wankong Dao summoned Wu Xiuyuan and told him: "Xiuyuan, for the teacher, I want to go out to travel for a while." During this time, you have to take care of Penglai well, and if you encounter something important, you must do your best to notify you as a teacher, do you know?"

Wu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Master, you have only returned from Yunyou, why do you want to leave again?"

Wankong sighed and said, "There is a bit of a urgency over there in Mobei, I plan to rush over." ”

Wu Xiuyuan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Master, Mobei is so far away, you must want to search for the whereabouts of the demon king on this trip, and then save that female ......" Before he finished speaking, he was already too embarrassed to speak.

Wankong raised his head, glared at him fiercely, and said angrily: "Master's matter, when will it be your turn to ask?"

Wu Xiuyuan's face was flushed, and he said boldly: "Master, it's not that the disciple is rebellious, it's just that the disciple has endured it for a hundred years, and today you have to say what is in your heart! That woman hurt you like this, but you still want to save her, I'm afraid she will kill you sooner or later!"

Wankong was furious and shouted, "Shut up! Are you trying to rebel?"

Wu Xiuyuan was even more persistent, kneeling on his knees and rubbing straight forward, grabbing Wankong's sleeve and crying: "Master, what you have done, if it is known by other sects, according to the Luoyin Zhuyu Immortal Law, you will be sentenced to be sentenced to be suspended from the mountain! Could it be that for the sake of a Xuanying, you have to ignore the 30,000 Penglai disciples?"

When Wankong heard this, he suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning, and his two hands stopped in mid-air, and he was stunned.

At this moment, a small thing buzzed in from the window and stopped in front of him, it turned out to be a secret Shura.

The Wankong Daoist was awakened by this secret word Shura, and hurriedly stretched out his hand.

The secret word Shura spat out a mud pill to him, and he brushed the dirt away with his hand, revealing the note inside. Unfolded it, the note read: "The Netherworld will be fierce." ”

Every time the secret word Shura came to deliver a letter, the master had to go, although Wu Xiuyuan knew that he was having an affair with the demons, but he couldn't stop it.

This time, seeing that the master was determined to leave again, Wu Xiuyuan had no choice but to hold a cup of tea and said, "Since the master insists, the apprentice doesn't dare to say more." However, it is a long way to go to Mobei, please ask the master to drink this cup of tea before leaving, and the apprentice's heart will feel a little better......"

Wankong looked at him, couldn't bear to refuse, sighed, picked up the teacup and drank it all. As soon as I drank it, I felt that something was wrong, and my fingers trembled and pointed at him slightly, and I said a few "you...... You...... You ......", and then fell to the ground, not knowing anything.

Wu Xiuyuan saw that the master had fallen, his face was crying, and he kowtowed to him and said, "Master, please forgive the apprentice for being unfilial, the apprentice really can't think of any other way, so he made this decision." When you wake up, the apprentice is willing to accept a qiē punishment, but this time, let Xiu Yuan go on your behalf. ”

With that, he took out the note from his empty sleeve, looked at it, and lit a fire on his fingertips, burned the note, and then picked up the sword and hurriedly left Penglai Island.
