Chapter 18: Conscience
The cyan flying boat soon descended above the plaza and hovered at a height of a foot above the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The high-crowned white-robed monk was a middle-aged man of nearly thirty, and he said, "Today, my Pure Ming Sect has opened the mountain gate, and all the disciples who want to worship my sect will listen carefully. Later, everyone went to the bottom of the mountain to register their names and places of origin and be questioned. Then enter the Hongchen Inquiry Path, and the disciples who have reached the top within an hour can enter the next round of assessment. ā
As soon as he waved his hand, the gray-robed disciples behind him got off the flying boat one after another and stood guard at the entrance of the mountain range. Then the flying boat went straight into the sky and stopped in mid-air, supervising the opening ceremony of the mountain gate and accepting disciples.
While the others were still sighing at the flying boat, Zhang Yi quickly came to a gray-robed disciple and said, "May I ask the Immortal Master, is it registered with you?"
The gray-robed disciple said, "Yes, first report your name, hometown, age, cultivation, and current address. ā
Zhang Yi returned: "Boy Zhang Yi, Gong Chang Zhang, the righteousness of righteousness, his hometown is Baishifang City, Yangyanguan, he is sixteen years old, he cultivates in the middle of Qi induction, and now lives in Xishan City Inn. ā
As he listened, the gray-robed disciple used a gold pen to write on a white jade tablet. After Zhang Yi finished speaking, and he finished writing, the font on the jade board disappeared in a slight flash, obviously it was a refined magic weapon.
After the gray-robed disciple finished writing, he said, "You can go over." ā
Zhang Yi immediately bowed lightly, and then headed towards the West Mountain. And the crowd behind him just reacted, all vying to sign up, and it was chaotic for a while.
After walking up the Xishan Mountain Range, Zhang Yi suddenly couldn't hear the sound behind him, but when he looked back, it was cloudy and mist, and he couldn't see anything. He knew that he had entered the Red Dust Inquiry Path of the Pure Ming Sect.
Zhang Yi was not flustered, although Zhang Yi was not clear about how to assess his heart in this Hongchen, but he could face it calmly. Along the stone paved mountain road, Zhang Yi slowly climbed towards the top of the mountain, the road ahead looked smooth, and it was not far from the top of the mountain, but no matter how Zhang Yi climbed along the way, he couldn't reach the top of the mountain.
Then I slowly became anxious, "Oh, why have you walked for so long, and you haven't arrived yet, it can't be that the time has passed, what should I do? What should I do? Why don't I go back and ask the monks at the bottom of the mountain now, what's going on? Oh, it's already a little past anyway, so don't climb up, let's go back, or you are not qualified alone, how embarrassing it will be." ā
The thoughts in his heart turned over and over again, Zhang Yi gradually felt that something was wrong, and quickly took a deep breath, focusing all his spirit on climbing the mountain, and gradually with Zhang Yi's climbing, those voices disappeared ethereally.
"Huh, it should be the test of the Pure Ming Sect, it's over. Zhang Yi thought to himself. When I looked up again, I was already halfway up the mountain.
Restraining his spirit, Zhang Yi climbed up again. Walking and walking, Zhang Yi felt as if he had entered the mountain gate, and then returned home, and his parents were already sick in bed, but the master urged him to return to the mountain, otherwise he would be punished by the master.
Zhang Yi did not hesitate to stay to take care of his parents, "I have parents who are kind and always want to let them spend their old age happily." "I thought about it, but the picture in front of me dissipated like a mist.
"It's a fantasy. Zhang Yi immediately sobered up, and he was about to step forward on the mountain road.
Then, Zhang Yi experienced that the rich man wanted to win him over, and gave him a large number of gold, silver and jewelry, so that he could enjoy wealth in the red dust, and then gave him several beautiful beauties of the country, prepared gorgeous silk clothes and fine wine and delicacies for him, let him live in a mansion and a large number of slaves at his command.
Zhang Yi has experienced several environments here, and has a slight resistance, and will never be completely addicted to it again, like watching a movie, after watching those fantasy performances, Zhang Yi did not hesitate to get up and abandon those prosperous and wealthy, and once again moved towards the top of the mountain.
"If I had been in a previous life, then I would not have been able to ask for all this glory and wealth, and I might have lingered in it. But in this world where monks are respected and demons are rampant, only if you are strong in cultivation, you will naturally have everything. To indulge in it is to bring about your own destruction. ā
Zhang Yi was clear in his heart, "Cultivating immortals, cultivating immortals, having everything without indulging in it, cultivation is everything." ā
After experiencing these illusions, Zhang Yi raised his eyes and looked around, and the top of the mountain was already close in front of him.
A gray-clothed monk was waiting at the top of the mountain, and Zhang Yi quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Immortal Master, the disciple is polite." The gray-clothed monk was unusually enthusiastic, and after he replied to Zhang Yi's half-salute, he said: "Where, where, junior brother is polite, as long as he passes this Hongchen Inquiry Path, he is already a miscellaneous disciple of the Pure Ming Sect, and we are not as good as outsiders, so don't be so polite, just call me Senior Brother Liu." ā
Although I don't know why this Senior Brother Liu is so polite, Zhang Yi still climbed the pole and said, "Senior Brother Liu is fine, I don't know how to arrange the next assessment?"
Senior Brother Liu, who was clothed in gray, said: "Little junior brother, since you can pass the Hongchen Inquiry Road in just half an hour, this heart is indeed superior, but the next assessment will be arranged tomorrow, little junior brother will come and go with me to rest first, or will you look at other people's assessments?"
Zhang Yi really wanted to see what the Hongchen Inquiry Road of the Pure Ming Sect recruited disciples was, so he said: "The junior brother really wants to see this Hongchen Asking Questions, then it will trouble Brother Liu." ā
Then he stood on the top of the mountain and looked down, only to see that more than 10,000 young people at the foot of the mountain had already queued up one after another to register, and then entered the Hongchen Inquiry Road.
I saw a strange mana like a red mist swirling on the steps that were dozens of zhang long and wide, and every time a person came in from the foot of the mountain, a ball of mana immediately enveloped him.
Seven or eight out of ten of them, after climbing two or three steps, will show all kinds of anxious looks, and some even cry, if they stop here for too long, they will be wrapped in an aura and thrown out of the mountain, and the experience will fail.
The more you go up, the more difficult it becomes, and the more strange the demeanor of those climbers becomes, some crying and laughing, some deeply obsessed, some laughing very obscenely, and some crying in grief......
In a short period of time, there will simply be no one who will be able to reach the top of the mountain.
"These tests are really difficult enough, if you want to pass the customs smoothly, you must either be like a child, not shake, or go through the wind and frost to see through everything. Zhang Yi thought to himself.
And then finally some people began to be expelled from the formation because they exceeded the time, and it was really difficult to clear the level.
