"How big is this place? It's really strange. I didn't meet a fellow disciple." Ning An stood at the foot of the mountain, looked at a mountain road in front of him, and murmured to himself.

In the past ten days, he climbed five mountains, some of which were bare on the tops, and some were a ray of sky

Some people couldn't climb up at all. They could only retreat when they reached the mountain halfway point, but there was no doubt that he did not find any immortality, nor even encountered a monster again.

"I can only stay here for three months, I have to hurry up." Hammered his legs, which were sore, and he raised his foot to climb towards the sixth mountain.

Fortunately, my physical exercise has been stronger in the past two years, otherwise I would have been exhausted after walking for so many days.

"Hey! That junior brother, come here and do a favor, here, here!"

Ning An had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him. When he turned around and looked back, he found a familiar figure below the corner behind the mountain. He couldn't help but feel surprised and added "Senior Brother Jia?"

"Huh? Junior Brother Ning? It's such a coincidence." The young man in the distance was stunned for a moment, then smiled, waved to Ning'an, "Come and help quickly."

Hearing this, Ning An hurriedly turned back and walked towards Senior Brother Jia. He turned a corner and found that there was a pool on the side of the mountain. The clear clear water was so deep that it was not deep.

At this moment, Senior Brother Jia held a long wooden pole in his hand, stepped on the rock beside the pond, leaning back, and pulling something with difficulty backwards.

Ning An walked closer and saw a transparent silk thread tied to the wooden pole. The other end of the thread went deep into the pool. It turned out to be a fishing rod.

"Seeing the long stick at my feet, hold it, and when I pull the fish up, you knock it out with the long stick. I really can't pull it out now." Senior Brother Jia clenched the wooden pole's arm and trembled slightly.

"Senior Brother Jia, we first met. Where did you guide me to go? Do you remember?" Ning An bent down with a smile and picked up the wooden pole, his eyes flashing with a flash.

"Go to the office, why are you asking?" Senior Brother Jia replied without hesitation, staring at the fishing line that was moving back and forth with his eyes tightly.

"This fish is about to show its head. If you have something to say, let it go, maybe the immortal fate between you and me will disappear like this." The fishing line suddenly began to shake violently. Senior Brother Jia's expression was suddenly nervous, and his body leaned back even more, almost like lying flat.

As soon as he finished speaking, a big green fish suddenly jumped out of the water and jumped into the air half a foot high

Seeing this, Ning An was surprised before he could even hold the long stick in his hands, twisted his body, and swung his body hard at the big fish.

"Crack" the long stick hit the fish, and it made an overwhelming creaking sound, instantly breaking into two pieces

The big fish shook its head and tail, and was knocked away less than two or three feet away, then fell back into the water. The fishing line trembled violently, and it aroused water flowers.

"Good guy, he's really thick-skinned and thick. My white jade silk can't last for too long." Senior Brother Jia stood up slowly. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Ning An threw away the stick in his hand, thought for a moment, took off the longbow, and after installing Kiya, he said, "Senior Brother Jia, can it jump out again?"

"I'm afraid there is only one last chance, this line has begun to break." Senior Brother Jia glanced at Ning An and made a quick decision, "You are ready! I'll use another force."

"Come on me!"

Senior Brother Jia let out a sigh, gritted his teeth, yelled and fell backwards, the fishing line was immediately tensed, and the big fish that kept swelling in the water jumped into the air again

Ning An pulled the bowstring, and when the big fish jumped to the highest point, he let go of his arm and shouted.

"middle!"

The arrow flew away quickly, reaching a few feet apart in an instant

The big fish suddenly stopped and saw a wooden arrow about a foot long, accurately piercing into one end of its eyeball and revealing it from the other side.

Due to this fatal blow, the big fish fell straight from the air. In the pool, they unconsciously slapped their fins and could no longer move.

"Good arrow technique!" Seeing this, Senior Brother Jia showed a look of joy on his face. He pulled the fishing rod hard and dragged the big fish up.

I was caught on the shore, and the big fish was seen carefully. I saw that it was almost half a person tall, with sharp teeth and green all over the body. The fish scales were arranged in a strange way, and it actually looked like a human face.

"Junior brother, thank you this time, otherwise, I really can't do anything about this ghost-faced fish." Senior Brother Jia praised when he saw the dead big fish.

"Senior brother has been awarded. I just helped a little bit. I can't be treated like anything. This is the first time I heard of this ghost-faced fish. Why is the senior brother so idle and fishing here?" Ning An looked at the big fish with a ferocious face, full of doubts on his face.

"This ghost-faced fish was told by an immortal, otherwise I wouldn't know that there are such strange fish in this pool. Hehe, what's the use? You may not believe it, it is used to become a disciple." Senior Brother Jia smiled, bent down and picked up the broken wooden rod, passed through the fish's gill, raised it with one hand, and signaled Ning An to lift the other side.

"Add to be a disciple?" Ning An grabbed the wooden pole and lifted the big fish together.

"Yes, I came here a few days ago and found an immortal. He said that as long as I could catch a ghost-faced fish, I would teach me a method to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He told me the habits and characteristics of this fish. Since Junior Brother Ning also has the fate to be with me, I guess that immortal will definitely accept you as his disciple." Senior Brother Jia smiled and led Ning An to walk towards another place.

"This immortal fate is indeed no trace. It's the first time I heard that there are immortals in this secret realm." Ning An showed a thoughtful look and murmured.

"I have been here for five years and have never heard of such rumors. I was shocked at that time." Senior Brother Jia nodded and said, "Tell me why you have collected enough tribute in such a short time."

The two of them carried the fish, and while talking, they walked. Before they knew it, they stopped at the foot of a mountain.

This mountain is very short, only a few dozen feet tall, bare, with strange rocks of different sizes in front of you, mixed with some dead grass, which looks very desolate

"Remember, follow my steps and go up the mountain together. Don't go wrong, otherwise you will be trapped by the formation in the rocks in front of you." Senior Brother Jia's face turned solemn, turned his head and told him, raised his foot and walked in.

Ning An nodded when he heard this, silently remembered Senior Brother Jia's footwork in his heart, and followed him to the mountain.

After walking nearly a hundred steps, the two of them came to a stone wall without realizing it. Senior Brother Jia breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "In addition to the stone formation, there is also a trick here. Behind the stone wall in front of him is the residence of the immortals."

"How did senior brother find such a hidden place?" Ning An asked in confusion with a path in his mind.

"My junior brother doesn't know anything. There was no such formation at the beginning. The immortal said that every time the illusion is opened, he will only accept one disciple with destiny. Since I found it this time, the immortal set up a formation to prevent others from entering." Senior Brother Jia said proudly, and then pushed the stone wall with force.

The stone wall suddenly turned back, revealing the scene behind it. I saw that the mountain belly was full of spring scenery.

A fence woven by green bamboo circles a colorful grassland, with strange flowers and plants everywhere, and various butterflies dancing

There are several thatched huts in the middle of the grass, and in front of the house is a flat open space, isolated from the grass. The most strange thing is that there is a small waterfall behind the house.

The surging water, like a water curtain, gently sprinkled on the round stones, splashing large pieces of silver beads

At the top of the waterfall is a flat rock, and there is a hole in the middle, where the turbulent water flows out.

An old man with white hair and beard in Taoist robe was sitting upright at the top of the waterfall, closing his eyes to rest

Senior Brother Jia led Ning'an through a bluestone road, walked straight to the waterfall, gently put the fish down, and bowed sincerely. Seeing this, Ning'an followed him to bow together.

Soon, the immortal above opened his eyes, shook the whisk in his hand, slowly walked through the waterfall, and walked to the two of them.

"My friend is indeed an honest person, bringing the ghost-faced fish here." The old man with fairy style smiled slightly, and the whisk in his hand raised.

"What younger generations should do, please ask the immortal to accept me as his disciple and give me some advice." Seeing this, Senior Brother Jia compiled it all to the end

"I promised you, and I will do it naturally, but who is the little friend next to me?" The old man asked with his whisk put away his whisk and twisted his beard with one hand.

"I am a fellow disciple of my disciple. When I caught this ghost-faced fish, I also tried a lot of effort. The immortal leader also took him as his apprentice." Senior Brother Jia naturally did not forget Ning An and hurriedly recommended him to me.

"Oh? Let me think about it." The old man lowered his head and pondered for a moment, pinched his fingers and calculated for a while, turned to Ning An, and said, "Since you and my disciple are so destined to be so destined, it's okay, I will make the next exception this time and take you as my disciple."

Ning An suddenly blushed, as if excitedly forgot to speak, bowed down and bowed, and couldn't get up.

Seeing Ning An's expression in this way, the old man laughed and walked to the grimace fish that fell to the ground. He gently tapped the whisk in his hand.

A magical scene happened. The ghost-faced fish had been dead for a while, but at this time it came to life strangely, jumped on the ground twice, and jumped into the water.

"It can actually come back to life. This immortal's magic power is really unfathomable." Seeing this, Ning An felt a trembling heart. He lay on the ground and looked at the pool under the waterfall. He found that there were many big fish in it.

"I have a method, and the practice method is special. This pond has a fish every three years. It is not until there are hundreds of different big fish that can be considered successful in practice. However, it is difficult. You cannot do it yourself. You must meet someone with destiny and catch it." The old man shook his head and whispered.

"Will the master have to be here for three hundred years?" Senior Brother Jia suddenly said in a lost voice when he heard this.

"Any advanced magic is like this. Okay, I will understand it when you attain enlightenment. Today, you two will go back to the house for a while, rest well, and burn incense in the house. Tomorrow at noon, I will accept you as disciples before this pond." After the old man said, he swung his sleeves and walked towards the top of the mountain.

Senior Brother Jia looked up at the old man leaving, his face full of admiration. Ning An raised his head slightly, and the excitement on his face disappeared instantly. He twitched his nose and whispered to himself, "Why does that immortal have a faint fishy smell?"

While no one was paying attention, Ning An took two steps forward, lay down to the edge of the pool, and sniffed deeply, and the doubt on his face became even stronger.
