Volume 2: Step by Step Lotus Chapter 15: The Ladder Dances and Shocks the Academy
Because they have the token of the school, the three of them can ride the teleportation array for free, and appear in Muyun City outside the Muyun Academy two hours later. As soon as you look up, you will see the towering Tianyue Mountain. The place surrounded by clouds and mist is the mountain gate of Muyun Academy.
Muyun City is located at the foot of Tianyue Mountain, from the halfway point of Tianyue Mountain up, is Muyun Academy.
Muyun City does not have high walls like Beishang City, and there are no straight streets in the entire city. The building is also very low, no matter where you are, you can see the majestic mountain gate of Muyun Academy.
All buildings are built without damaging the topography and the natural environment. At first glance, it is scattered and disorderly, and if you look closely, there is a natural sense of beauty.
Most of the people in the city are young cultivators. Many people are here to try their luck, hoping that one day they will be favored by a certain teacher in the university and give them an enrollment token.
Feng Lian wanted to stay in the city for two days, first learn about the situation of the school before going to report, but the inn was full, so he could only go to the school to report.
When I walked to the foot of the mountain, I saw two mottled black steel stone tablets standing on it, one of which was engraved with the words "no flying" in one go. The words are not engraved with spiritual or spiritual power, but are written purely with the initial strength of the fingers. You can imagine how hard that finger must be. I don't know how many years these two words have been written, and they still exude a strong murderous aura.
The other piece is engraved with the word "Heavenly Ladder", which exudes a very affinity-free spiritual power.
Through the discussion of the people around you. Feng Lian learned that whether it was the head of the Ji family, the sect master of the Qing Sect, or the standing elder of the Senate, he had to walk on the ground when he arrived here, otherwise he would be disrespectful to the school and become the public enemy of the school.
The stairs were bustling with people, and from time to time someone rolled down from them. It turns out that there is a rule in the school, below the fairyland, no matter what way, as long as you can walk to the mountain gate, you can enter the school to study. The one who rolls down must be a loser.
Feng Lian's eyesight has been baptized by the sap of the vines of the Black Forest, and he does not need to release his spiritual power, and he can see a total of one hundred and nineteen steps at a glance. The higher you go, the smaller the number of people, there are only a few people above the 100 level, and they are students dressed in school costumes.
Feng Lian and the three of them climbed the stairs, and every time they went up, they could clearly feel the pressure on their bodies one more layer. When he reached the fortieth level, Feng Lian suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and when he investigated, he found that it was the enrollment token that released an inexplicable power that resisted part of the pressure.
"Xiao Jie, golden blood. I want to walk from below again, without tokens, and see if I can walk to the mountain gate. Feng Lian's opinion was immediately recognized by Mengjie and Jinxue.
After discussing with the three of them, they decided to let Jin Blood take the three tokens and wait below, while Feng Lian and Mengjie climbed the mountain first.
Back at the bottom of the mountain, Feng Lian and Mengjie adjusted their state to the best and began to climb the mountain.
This time it was much more difficult than the last time, and they had only reached level 30, and fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Feng Lian and Mengjie's foreheads.
Feng Lian wiped the beads of sweat from Mengjie's forehead and asked with concern, "Is your body okay?" ”
Meng Jie smiled and nodded, "That soul pill is really powerful, and now it has basically returned to normal." When it is completely refined, there should be no problem. ”
Feng Lian took Mengjie's hand and continued to walk up, "If you can't do it, just tell me, don't force it." ”
Meng Jie leaned on his shoulder obediently and said softly, "I know, no matter how I say it, I am also an intermediate level of the Divine Court." It's too embarrassing to be able to finish this little road. ”
The two walked hand in hand to the fifty-three steps, sweat soaking through their clothes.
"How about we go to level sixty and release our spiritual power?" Feng Lian suggested.
"I still want to go to level 70 and then release. Brother, there is no familiar feeling. Mengjie, who was covered with sweat, smiled even more sunny and charming.
"Well, if you carry two or three thousand pounds of stones on your back, it will be more like. "What they said was naturally the way Scar and Renjian cultivated them when they were in Mo Village. And it's a lot tougher than that.
The cultivators who climbed the ladder next to them all looked at them with envy and surprise when they saw that Feng Lian and Meng Jie had actually walked to more than fifty steps with their physical strength and were still talking and laughing there.
The two of them continued to not release their spiritual power, and walked forward under a pressure that was enough to crush ordinary rocks into powder.
At the sixty-first level, once the footsteps fall, it is like being glued to the floor, and it is difficult to lift up.
"It's really a good place to practice, and we'll come here every day in the future. Feng Lian looked at the mountain gate in front of him, his fighting spirit was high, and his tiredness was swept away.
"Well, this is the best place to practice the Wind Step. Meng Jie said excitedly.
"These two madmen. ”
"I still walk once a day, and after this trip, I don't want to walk this road again for the rest of my life. ”
"Be self-righteous and wait until they can reach the top before talking big. ”
......
The cultivators beside him let out a whispered discussion.
Feng Lian and Mengjie don't pay attention to their discussions, living in other people's saliva is not their way of life.
Even if they can only take a step every three or five minutes, the two are not discouraged. With each step, clear, wet footprints are left on the stairs. And strung together by drops of sweat.
"Hold on, we'll be able to reach seventy steps. ”
"Yes, it's much easier than our training in Mocun. ”
Feng Lian and Mengjie clasped hands tightly together to cheer each other up.
"It's three levels higher, sixty-eighth, come on!"
"Can you still hold on? I guess I'm going to release the aura. ”
"I have to find a Taoist couple, men and women match, and I don't get tired of climbing the ladder!"
"I guess not, look at their legs shaking badly. ”
......
All kinds of voices came, and Feng Lian and Mengjie turned a deaf ear. It was so difficult, so difficult that they couldn't help but want to release the aura shield to relieve the pressure that was pouring in from all directions.
"Let's go!"
Feng Lian gritted his teeth and shouted, raised his feet at the same time as Mengjie, and stepped on the sixty-nine steps.
"Go on!"
The two of them don't give themselves a chance to breathe, and they can't be talked about by others. Just like in Mo Village, once there is a pause, the bamboo whip in Scar and Renjian's hands will fall on their legs. They can't let those things happen again, because they have grown up and no longer need to be supervised by their elders and masters.
The applause rang out, and even the martial arts students who were in charge of standing guard in front of the mountain gate and the people watching at the bottom of the mountain all let out heartfelt admiration.
Standing on the seventy steps, both of them could hear the "squeak" sound in each other's bodies. It was the sound of bones and flesh being squeezed. It's impossible to straighten your waist.
Feng Lian took out the kettle and wanted to replenish it for Mengjie. As a result, as soon as the kettle was removed from the Ethereal Ring, it was immediately crushed into powder.
If you look at the whole staircase, there really isn't one person holding anything in their hands.
Feng Lian instantly understood that no matter what method you use, as long as you can reach the top, you can join the academy, this sentence is nonsense. Except for relying on your own spiritual power, you can't use anything else.
Feng Lian looked down at the stairs made of strange-shaped stone slabs, and suddenly felt a familiar feeling.
The stone road that surrounds Mo Village is paved with strange stone slabs like this.
Meng Jie also noticed the abnormality of the slate, and the two looked at each other and smiled, needless to say, they already understood each other's thoughts.
The two of them moved slowly to the sides, their feet on two stone slabs of different shapes. The pressure on his body was instantly reduced by nearly forty percent.
Feng Lian and Mengjie sometimes walk and sometimes jump, sometimes up and sometimes down, sometimes forward and sometimes backward. Both of them have been taught by Fu Shi, who is known as the world's first lady, for many years, and their bodies are coordinated and beautiful, as if they are dancing happily.
Especially Mengjie, after a few jumps, the clothes on her body have dried. The white dress danced with a dazzling brilliance, occasionally revealing snow-white slender calves, which made many cultivators bleed.
"Marry a wife like a sister-in-law! It's just that how good your sister-in-law is, how difficult your rival in love is, big brother, and you will suffer it in the future. "This is the voice of Golden Blood.
Unconsciously, the two of them stood on the eighty steps one after another. Everyone has not yet woken up from the amazement just now.
But there is another sober person, who is the teacher of the Foreign Affairs Institute who stood in front of the mountain gate and watched the monks who climbed the ladder. He gently crushed a piece of jade slip in his hand, and after a while, more than thirty teachers from the academy appeared in front of the mountain gate.
"How is this possible, in the hundreds of thousands of years of history of the university, no one has ever been able to walk as easily as they did. ”
"What's impossible, don't you see them just singing and dancing?"
"Do these two young men seem to be able to solve the mystery of the ladder? ”
"It's not like it, the boy walked a total of three hundred and seventy-six steps, twenty-three of which he hesitated for a long time, and the girl walked four hundred and seven steps, and twenty-five of them almost fell, so she must have stepped on the wrong step. ”
"Maybe they can solve one of the thirty-six mysteries of the school. The one who spoke was an old man in his forties, but with a fairy wind and bone temperament.
The teachers and students did not know when he appeared in front of the mountain gate, and immediately saluted, "Meet the Bachelor." ”
The discussion in front of the mountain gate did not deliberately lower the voice, and Feng Lian and Mengjie heard it clearly.
Feng Lian and Mengjie stood on the eighty steps, but they couldn't take a break. Because the slate here is different from that of Mocun. The stone slabs in Mo Village are stationary, and the stone slabs here move irregularly.
If you don't step on the right slate, the pressure will increase a hundredfold. The two of them kept walking and jumping like this.
Feng Lian heard the discussion in front of the mountain gate, and whispered: "One, two, three, stand on tiptoe." Four, two, three, heel fall. ”
Meng Jie hesitated for a moment, and immediately understood what it meant. Feng Lian was reminding her of what Mangosteen had said, not letting others know that they were from the Shattered Domain.
So the two of them made mistakes one after another, at least two or three wrong steps out of every ten steps. But their footwork is so fast that no one can see which step is right and which is wrong.
Instead, it's like they're trying their luck, stepping on each piece to test right and wrong.
"It is impossible for them to understand the mystery. There are too many things that go wrong. ”
"Definitely. I think they should have some realizations, but only superficially. When a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, he can actually open a road that his predecessor did not open. ”
"Luck is also part of ability, and if you can go to the mountain gate, you will win. ”
"There is a good set of footwork exercises, which really takes advantage of the ladder. With such fast footwork, even if you step wrong, you have time to change. ”
"Have any of you ever seen a footwork that doesn't require the use of spiritual power?" Lord's words drew everyone's attention to the fact that the two young men who climbed the ladder did not release their spiritual power at all.
Seeing that no one answered, Master Scholar said, "I think this is not a practice, but a lost drunken immortal step." ”
One teacher asked, "What is a drunken immortal step?" ”
Master Bachelor pondered for a while before saying: "The drunken immortal step is also called the cloud step, no matter what it is called, it is just a general statement, in short, the footwork that does not need the support of spiritual power is called the drunken immortal step." Legend has it that this step was realized by a high-ranking cultivator in ancient times after he was drunk, and was later modified and sublimated by others.
"This kind of step does not require spiritual power to perform, it uses the power of the source, which is commonly known as physical strength. Performing the Drunken Immortal Step requires a strong body and a lot of strength. These two young men are very remarkable, and the strength of their bodies is probably much higher than that of ordinary martial arts intermediates.
"I don't know if the two of them have climbed the mountain gate, which of you is willing to take them as apprentices?"
Everyone was stunned by the evaluation of the Bachelor, the strength of the two of them was actually higher than that of the intermediate cultivators of the Martial Sect. How is this possible? But the Bachelor can't be untargeted. Let them have to believe.
Hearing the latter sentence, everyone stretched out their middle fingers to the bachelor, the person you fancie, do we dare to accept him as an apprentice?
"I'm afraid that the boy won't be able to climb the mountain gate. A burly middle-aged man appeared beside the Bachelor.
The people bowed again: "I have seen Dean Qiu." ”
"Qiu Yuchou, why did you come out too? Could it be that you came to rob my disciple from me?" said the Master with a dry laugh.
Qiu Yuchou was not angry, and after giving everyone a salute, he looked at Feng Lian and said: "It's a pity, it's the peak of the spiritual sea, or you can reach the top of the mountain gate." It's a pity that I don't have an enrollment token, so I might as well give him one. Won't you be able to come up smoothly? Gu Kanyu, since you want to accept disciples so much, you can take out a piece and give it to that boy, right?"
Gu Kanyu spread his hands and said, "I don't have any tokens, and it is impossible to give them now." It felt like I was robbing other people's disciples. ”
"Don't grab disciples from me, two adults, I've already given them my enrollment token. Huh, why don't these two little guys climb the mountain with a token, what are they doing?" It was the big quail Ji Da'an who spoke.
"Ji madman, I haven't gone out for two hundred years. A few days ago, I went out and accepted two disciples. It's a bit of an eye, but if that boy climbs the mountain with your admissions token, you're going to die. What about one more?" said Gu Kanyu teasingly.
"Fart! They're all dragons and phoenixes. Why don't we take a gamble? Bet that the three of them can climb the mountain gate without relying on the enrollment token. Ji Da'an couldn't stand being excluded by others, so he didn't answer Gu Kanyu's last question.
"Okay, how do you say to bet?" Gu Kanyu and Qiu Yuchou replied at the same time.
"You lost, I'll give you what is here. If you lose, teach me how to break through to the mortal realm. Ji Da'an took out the ethereal ring given by Ji Shenghua and shook it in front of them.
"Wow, crazy Ji, what did you do, where did you get so many cultivation spiritual materials and spars?" Qiu Yuchou and Gu Kanyu Divine Sense swept over the Ethereal Ring, and they almost couldn't help but snatch it.
"You don't care about this, bet or not?"
"Okay, I think you can only be a rich man for another half an hour. Qiu Yu smiled sadly.
"Okay, you crazy man, you actually got the idea of letting us work for you and be a hands-off master. Leave the three of them to us, and you yourself will study the inexplicable theory of origins. But I don't mind sharing your net worth with Lao Qiu, don't cry for a while. Gu Kanyu smiled with joy on his face.
Ji Da'an secretly pinched a handful of sweat, and said in his heart: "Grandma, don't pit me." ”
