Qinchuan, Western Shu, near Jiange.The mountains here are dangerous and lofty, wild animals frequently appear in the mountains, and there are few people around. It is an extremely desolate place.And at the foot of Cangfeng Ridge, a strange person came at some point. He was a very strange person. He was dressed in tattered clothes, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a Taoist robe or a monk's robe.This man has always been hiding in a cave. No matter how the wind and rain hit him, he always stayed there alone and refused to leave.

For many years, every common man who went up the mountain to collect firewood would always see him, playing with the monkeys in the mountains and satisfying his hunger with fruits.At first, everyone was a little afraid of him, but as time passed and they didn't see how he was doing, everyone just got used to it and treated him as if he didn't exist.Time always passes by unconsciously, and I don’t know how many years have passed, but this weirdo still lives there and is unwilling to leave.

There are many mountains in Western Shu, and countless demons and ghosts are hidden among them. For the sake of safety, the people built mountain temples everywhere to seek the protection of the mountain gods.Years have passed, and the number of temples in the mountains and rivers has gradually increased. Perhaps the mountain gods have shown their power. In the past two hundred years, the people of this land have rarely had any accidents, and everyone's respect for the mountain gods is particularly surprising.

On this day, at the foot of Cangfeng Ridge, a young boy of several years old walked up. From a distance, he looked like he was about seven or eight years old. He was handsome, handsome, and very lovable.Dressed in brocade clothes, it seemed that this child was not from a poor family.When I got closer, I realized that the child's face was a bit gloomy, with a hint of deathly gray in his paleness.

The child was walking slowly when he suddenly heard the cry of a monkey and couldn't help but turn his head.I saw a cave not far away. Standing at the entrance of the cave was a strange man in disheveled clothes. He had long hair and couldn't see his face clearly, but he could faintly see a pair of extremely bright eyes, looking at himself.The child was stunned for a moment, without a trace of fear on his face, and turned around and walked towards the strange man.

The weirdo looked at the child with a sigh in his eyes, as if he had vaguely noticed something.The child approached the weirdo, and a clear childish voice came slightly: "Are you the weirdo that the uncles call you? I heard that you have been here for a long, long time. Can you tell me why you stay here? Why don't you live in our village?" The child looked at the weirdo quietly with a trace of curiosity in his eyes.

The weirdo said slightly: "You are not from here, are you? Your accent should be from the capital. Why are you here? You are in poor health and I'm afraid you won't live long. Why don't you stay with your parents and spend more time with them?"

There was a trace of surprise in the child's bright big eyes, and he smiled slightly and said: "You are really good at it. You can tell at a glance that my life is not long. I have known this for a long time, so I don't care. Life and death are just moments, so what about life and what about death. Maybe people who have not experienced it will not know. What is there to be afraid of? What is your name? Can you tell me?"

The weirdo looked at the child, frowned slightly and said, "It's not easy to face life and death calmly at such a young age. Unfortunately, no one in the world can cure your illness. It doesn't matter who I am, but who are you? Why are you here?"

The child smiled calmly and said: "My name is Lu Yun, and I came here with my father. My father is a high-ranking official in the capital. Our family has been officials in the court for generations, and has been a Jinshi for generations. It can be said that it was very prominent. This time, because my father did not want to join others, he took the initiative to resign and took me to Xishu for medical treatment. I have seen all the famous doctors in the capital, but they allIt was useless.Later, a fortune teller told my father that Qinchuan in Western Shu has been blessed with countless magical people since ancient times. Maybe they can cure my disease, so my father took me here.It has been a month since I came here. Because of my poor health, I met you for the first time today.It is really a fate."

The weirdo frowned slightly, is it fate?Maybe.Looking at Lu Yun, the weirdo smiled faintly and said: "There is no way to cure your disease. Ordinary people have three souls and seven souls, but you are missing one soul and one soul. This is unique in the world. Judging from your appearance, you should be born like this. You are born with a disability. That is extremely rare. AlmostIt’s a rare occurrence in ten thousand years.But why are you still alive?If most people are like you, they will die before they are one year old. Even some people with strong vitality will only live to be three years old.But you should be seven or eight years old now, which is really amazing.”

Lu Yun looked at him and smiled: "It seems that you are better than those doctors. It's amazing that you know so many things just by looking at me. Then can you take a closer look at my illness to see if there is any hope? Although I don't care about life or death, I know that if I die, my parents will be very sad."

The weirdo looked at the sky slightly and began to think deeply.After a long time, the weirdo said: "I can think of ways to extend your life, but you must promise me that you cannot tell others about this matter. No one can know about it except your parents. And in the next ten years, you must come here to see me every day. If you can't do it, go back and don't agree easily. I don't like people who don't keep their promises." There was a slight sigh in Wei Wei's eyes looking at the sky. Maybe this is wrong, isn't it?

The child looked at the weirdo and said in a low voice: "Okay, thank you. I will insist on coming here every day and not tell anyone. I will live well and compete with God for my fate, so that everyone in the world will know that I, Lu Yun, will not be easily defeated by you." There is strong courage in the childish voice, and he will fight with the sky.

The weirdo was shocked when he heard this. Yes, which cultivator is not competing with God for his life?Now that we have met, maybe it is destined.In that case, then I will fight with the sky. At most, it is just the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation. It is not that I have never seen it before. It is just a movable meridians. Is it possible that the sky can do anything to me!

Looking at Lu Yun, the weirdo smiled and said: "Okay, if you are ambitious, starting from tomorrow, I will teach you a magical martial arts that will let you compete with the sky. Although ten years is short, as long as you work hard, you will gain something. One thing you have to remember is that you cannot easily use what I teach you, let alone teach it to others."

The child solemnly promised: "I will remember it, don't worry. I actually know who you are, because someone once told me about your kind of strange people."

Hearing this, the weirdo smiled and said: "Little ghost head, it seems you are very smart? Then can you tell me who I am? There will be a reward for being right."

Lu Yun thought for a moment and said softly: "You are what ordinary people call a strange man in the mountains, and a fortune teller calls a cultivator, right?" After saying this, he looked at the weirdo firmly with a smile in his eyes.

The weirdo looked at Lu Yun, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled: "You are smart, you are half right. The reward will be given to you in the future. You won't need it now. I will give it to you after you learn some skills. Come to me now, let's have a good chat." After saying this, Lu Yun's body instantly came to the weirdo's side, which was very weird.

As dusk fell, Lu Yun left there with a smile and went home.Back home, Lu Yun's parents looked at their son lovingly, their eyes full of love.Lu Yun's father's name is Lu Wenyu, and his mother is Zhang Huafeng. They are both handsome men and beauties with excellent character.Lu Wenyu asked with a smile: "Yun'er, how far have you walked alone today? Did you see anything strange?"

Lu Yun looked at his parents.He smiled and said: "Yun'er met a strange man today, the weirdo that the uncles in the village called him. Yun'er talked with him for a day today and benefited a lot. He told me that he could teach me a way to extend my life, but I must go to him every day to learn from him, andDon't tell anyone except your parents.Yun'er has promised to start studying with him tomorrow.Don't worry, that strange man is exactly what the physiognomist in the capital calls him. He has great abilities. Yun'er wants to learn from him and maybe he can cure my disease."

Lu Wenyu and his wife Zhang Huafeng looked at each other and said, "What did he say to you today? Can you tell us? Is there anything about your illness?"

Lu Yun smiled and said: "He talked about many things and also mentioned my illness. He said that ordinary people have three souls and seven souls, but I was born with one soul missing, so the disease cannot be cured. It is a miracle that I can survive until now. It is precisely because of this that he plans to teach me the method of extending my life and asked me to learn it starting tomorrow." Lu Wenyu's face changed drastically when he heard this, and his expression was extremely shocked.Zhang Huafeng looked at her husband and didn't understand why he suddenly changed so much. What happened? It was really strange.

Lu Wenyu raised his head slightly and muttered to himself in horror: "I can't believe it, I really can't believe that the legend of our Lu family that has been passed down for centuries is actually true. Maybe this is God's will. Yun'er, tomorrow you go to learn from that strange man. Remember to work hard. Your mother and I will fully support you. No matter what the future holds, you must live bravely and face everything with strength."

Lu Yun looked at his father, nodded slightly and said, "I will do it. I will fight for my life. Don't worry, I won't give up easily." Lu Yun's young mind has a maturity and perseverance beyond his years. He has been plagued by illness since he was a child and has resisted death countless times. He has developed a strong will, so he has a different thinking ability from ordinary people.

Lu Wenyu looked at his son, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes, patted his shoulder gently, and said softly: "Have a good rest, I have to go learn skills tomorrow." After saying that, he exchanged a look with his wife and left Lu Yun's cabin.

In the night wind, Lu Wenyu looked at the bright moon in the sky and said softly: "Remember the ancestral records of the Lu family. There is a magical legend passed down from generation to generation in the Lu family. It is said that among the descendants of the Lu family, there will be a disciple who is born with one soul and one soul. That will be an unpredictable mutation of the Lu family. No one can predict his fate. This life is full of legends.According to the ancestral teachings of the Lu family, if this person appears, he must go back to the ancestral graveyard of the Lu family and take out something that only he can open. That thing may change his life.Unexpectedly, Yun'er turned out to be the legendary descendant. I plan to tell him when he is eighteen or twenty years old and let him go back and take out what belongs to him."

Zhang Huafeng looked at her husband quietly and said softly: "Yun'er has been very smart since he was a child. He can learn everything at once, but he is too weak. I never thought that he would have such a fate. Maybe it is all destined. I hope that he will be safe in this life. I am relieved. Qinchuan in Western Shu, with beautiful mountains and rivers, breeds infinite magic. I hope that here, I can find a way for my son to continue his life."

The night wind blows, and the chirping of insects echoes in the mountains, bringing with it waves of sleepiness, accompanying everyone into sleep, and slowly forgetting all the unpleasant things.In the early morning, Lu Yun woke up to the sweet chirping of birds, ate the breakfast carefully prepared by his mother in a hurry, and went out alone.

Zhang Huafeng stood at the door, looking at his son's figure walking away in the distance, with a hint of smile and love in his eyes.When will he be able to grow up, get rid of the disease, and live a happy life?Perhaps, no one can tell clearly.

Time flies, spring passes and autumn comes, and ten years pass in a blink of an eye.In ten years, Lu Yun transformed from a thin child into a handsome young man.Although his body is still a little thinner, Lu Yun has never been sick again in the past ten years. His body is always getting stronger day by day, he is getting smarter, and he learns things very quickly.

Standing quietly in front of the cave, Lu Yun looked at this weird man who had taught him martial arts for ten years, and his heart was full of gratitude to him.In Lu Yun's heart, he is his master, and he has taught him countless things.That is something that ordinary people cannot learn in a hundred years, but Lu Yun learned it.

The weirdo looked at Lu Yun, with a hint of joy in his eyes, and said softly: "It has been ten years, and you have not let me down. Although the time is too short, you have also learned a lot of my skills, which is amazing. What are your plans now? Are you going to continue learning Xuanqi Taoism with me, or leave here?"

Lu Yun said softly: "Father told me something. He wants me to go to a place now or in two years to retrieve something that belongs to me. I plan to study with you for another two years. I hope that I can make great progress in these two years and that my fate with you will not be in vain. After so many years, you haven't told me who you are and what you used to do. Can you tell me now?
