Chapter 1 Five

The Nanhua Mountains are more than 2,000 miles long, with countless steep peaks, and poisonous snakes and beasts often appear. In addition, the mountain is full of clouds and fog all year round, and the direction is difficult to distinguish, so in addition to the foot of the outer peaks, there are occasionally some woodcutter hunters, and the depths of the mountains are inaccessible.

Deep in the center of the South China Mountains, several peaks more than 2,000 meters high are surrounded by a vast canyon. It's just that the canyon is shrouded in thick clouds all year round, and nothing can be seen five meters away.

There were also a few bold mountain people who tried to explore the strange thick clouds and fog together. However, when they walk into the thick fog for dozens of meters, they will completely lose their way, often tossing for several hours before finally running out of the cloud cover. At this time, they found that they had returned to their original place. After many failed attempts, these people finally died, ignored the mysterious canyon, and told their families and neighbors not to step in here.

One day, a handsome young man in a handsome white dress, holding a newborn baby, was running in the direction of the canyon. His speed was extremely fast, as if he was running fast, but the expression on his face was very relaxed, like walking leisurely.

Not long after, the young man in white came to the Grand Canyon and stopped in front of the thick clouds. He took out a soybean-sized red jade from his arms, whispered a few words to it, and then waved his hand and threw the red jade into the clouds. With a red light, the red jade quickly got into the thick fog and disappeared.

About three or five minutes later, a strong wind from the depths of the canyon suddenly blew and roared in front of the young man in white, and then turned into a little white light in front of his eyes and disappeared.

The young man in white seemed to be used to this and did not show any surprised expression. Holding the baby in his arms, he quickly walked into the depths of the canyon along a two- or three-meter-wide passage formed by the thick fog blown away by the strong wind.

A moment later, behind the young man in white, the thick clouds and fog turned upside down, covering up the newly formed passage, and the Grand Canyon returned to its usual appearance.

After the young man in white walked five or six hundred meters along the passage, the thick fog in front of him suddenly disappeared without a trace, replaced by layers, countless pavilion buildings, and crisscrossed roads, and occasionally several men and women dressed like him. In this foggy canyon, there is actually a secret town.

"Oh, isn't this Brother Jian Han? Complete the task and come back! Whose baby is the baby in your arms? Did you secretly give birth to it outside? A black-faced man of his age asked in surprise when he saw him holding the baby.

"Boh! What are you talking about! I want to give birth. Why do you want to sneak around? I don't know who this child belongs to. I found it on the way back!" The young man in white said.

"Picked it up!? Why did you pick up a mortal child and take it to the family? The black-faced man looked puzzled and skeptical.

"This little guy has spiritual roots. If you don't believe it, check it out! Isn't the family recruiting a group of new disciples? By the way, they brought them here. It's strange to say that I saw this child on an extremely desolate hillside. He was naked and didn't cry. And I found a whole circle within more than ten miles nearby, and I didn't see anyone else at all! I think he happens to have spiritual roots and can't bear to abandon him on the barren mountain, so he simply took him back to the family. Seeing the expression of disbelief of the other party, the young man in white briefly explained the origin of the child.

The black-faced man touched the thin wrist of the sleeping baby. After meditating for a while, he said, "Sure enough, there is a spiritual root, but it seems to be very miscellaneous. The qualification should not be very good!"

"Well, you think you are a foundation-building monk, and you can judge the spiritual root attributes! I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go to the third elder to report the task to him, and ask for instructions on how to deal with this child. The young man in white said, waved goodbye to the other party, and walked along the street to a three-story exquisite pavilion...

A year later, in the mysterious town in the canyon, a child who is just over one year old and staggers is talking softly with a slightly fat and amiable woman in her 30s and 40s.

"Aunt Yun, do you think I was picked up by Uncle Jian Han?" The child raised his head, pulled the sleeves of the woman sitting in the chair to rest, and said word by word in a milky voice. Compared with children of the same age, he is very fluent.

"Yes. He took five of your names. The middle-aged woman stroked the child's hair and said softly.

She has been living in this canyon since she was born. Because she did not have any "spiritual roots", she became one of the few ordinary mortals in the town and has never left this town. Since seven or eight years ago, her main duty has been to take care of a group of children from birth to two or three years old, and raise them to five years old, and then naturally someone will take these children to other parts of the canyon.

Therefore, she has long been used to dealing with infants who are crying all day long, and she is becoming more and more proficient. At noon that day, more than 20 children were taking a sweet nap, and she also took the opportunity to lean on a master's chair and take a break. Unexpectedly, the five, who usually never cry and are the most well-behaved, came to ask her questions.

"Aunt Yun, why did you call me Wugen? I've heard about the five spiritual roots before. What do you mean? The child raised his head with a curious expression.

It seems that she can't sleep during this nap. Anyway, she doesn't have this habit. The middle-aged woman simply held the child on her lap and talked softly.

"Aunt Yun doesn't know either. Aunt Yun heard from others that spiritual roots are all born. Only those who have spiritual roots can practice immortal cultivation skills, and those without spiritual roots can only be mortals. Five roots are good for you, and you are born with spiritual roots. When you are five years old, Jian's family will find someone to take you to practice immortality. Aunt Yun has no spiritual root, so she can only be busy all her life. The middle-aged woman answered patiently and sighed gently at the end.

"What are the five spiritual roots? Didn't you say that I'm Wu Linggen, so my name is Wugen? Children are always like this, one problem after another.

"Yes, Aunt Yun heard Uncle Jian Han say that your spiritual root is five spiritual roots, which doesn't seem to be very good, so he named you five spiritual roots. What exactly does it mean? Aunt Yun knows very little. When you grow up, you will naturally understand. Middle-aged women are always so soft and very patient, but when they encounter problems that can't be explained clearly, they bring out the eternal famous saying, "You will know when you grow up."

"Aunt Yun, what is practicing immortality?" The child asked another difficult question.

"This Aunt Yun doesn't know. With a spiritual root, she can practice immortality, and then she can live a long life and never get sick. There are also all kinds of spells, all of which are very powerful! When the five roots grow up in the future, it will be so powerful!" The woman's knowledge of this is really limited. In just a few words, she said all the information she knew, with great envy in her tone.

"Oh, where are we now?" As soon as the topic of children changed, they no longer struggled with what women such as spiritual roots to cultivate immortals did not know at all, but asked some things that children often asked.

"We are at Jane's house in the South China Mountains." The woman suddenly felt a little relieved, and finally the child did not continue to ask some questions that she could not answer.

"Where is the South China Mountains?" This question seems to have been prepared for a long time.

"The Nanhua Mountains are in the south of the Golden Flame Kingdom." The woman pinched the child's tender and lovely face and said.

"Where is the Golden Flame Kingdom?" This is the legendary child who broke the casserole and asked to the end.

"The Golden Flame Kingdom is on the Tianyuan mainland. Aunt Yun heard that the Tianyuan mainland is so big. The Golden Flame Kingdom is so big that it is just one of the insignificant small countries." The woman replied patiently, but as soon as she finished, there was a trace of remorse in her heart. If the child continues to ask her what is a country and what is a continent, how should she answer?

Fortunately, the child did not ask that, but asked a very strange question: "Aunt Yun, do you know what the earth is? Do you know that there is a country called China?
