Origin Chapter 29 Treading on the Water Reef
After a whirlwind, Yu Hao returned to the island where he could overlook the cliff tower square, but this time he couldn't see the moss-covered stone steps.
Because the place where it appears is on the side of the island's beach, if the top view of the island is compared to Yu Hao's protractor in his previous life, then his current position is at the edge of the arc closest to the straight line of the protractor.
From this position, you can easily observe the beach on the other side of the island and the lonely black stone tower at the top of the cliff through the almost straight sea cliff.
Yu Hao admired the sea view, and the people who assessed it also came one after another, Dan Ming, as a woman who cultivated in the Daomen, she just nodded to Yu Hao, but Lord Wu and Liu Yun would not let Yu Hao continue to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and soon came closer.
After saying hello, the three of them chatted with laughter, and after a conversation, Yu Hao knew what the qualification and inheritance represented.
The young man's conversation did not hide the scheming of cultivation, he easily knew that Liu Yun was now in the consummation of qi gathering, and Lord Wu was also in the late stage of qi gathering.
When Yu Hao said that he was in the early stage of gathering qi, the two were surprised.
Because they learned that the ranking of the last assessment was linked to the qualification, and the ranking will be based on the literary examination when the qualification is similar.
It stands to reason that Yu Hao is ranked ahead of Lu Qing, and with the support of Qiaofu, it should not be difficult to reach the middle stage of qi gathering like Lu Qing in the intelligence, but now Yu Hao is a little out of line in the early stage of qi gathering.
But the two of them were surprised by the main master, but they didn't bother much about it, because Yu Hao had already known from Tian Tian that his current spiritual fluid stock was actually not much worse than that of ordinary Qi Gathering in the late stage.
The reason why he has so many spiritual fluid reserves is because Yu Hao used the breakthrough elixir prepared for him by Qiao Feng to cultivate, he didn't know what Qiao Feng's intention was, but he was still very grateful to Qiao Feng for taking care of him, in order to cater to the old Taoist theory of cause and effect, the young man could only keep his kindness in his heart.
Liu Yun and Lord Wu did not compare Yu Hao with Zhang Ze, who was the first from the bottom, because they did not have Zhang Ze's information, and as for why there was no information, the two of them also knew it.
As early as the afternoon of the first day of April, when Liu Yun went to Wu's mansion, the two already knew Zhang Ze's identity, so the two naturally understood that the information was likely to have been blocked by the Zhang family.
Just as the two of them were curious about Zhang Ze's cultivation, Zhang Ze and a group of them were also very curious about Hao's cultivation, after all, Qiao Feng's son Qiao Xuan was still very good at information processing.
In the midst of everyone's exchange of cultivation experiences, the shadow elongated by Chaoyang slowly shortened, thinking that when it was time for the exam, an old man in a red robe and official uniform suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The crane on the old man's body and the seven-beam crown on his head reflect his good status, and this old man is Zhang Zheng.
Zhang Zheng looked at everyone with triangular eyes, seemed to be a little disliked by the noise of everyone, and shouted: "What is the fuss, the assessment is about to begin, what kind of system." ”
There was a long-standing official pressure in his voice, even Yu Hao was shocked, not to mention the others, everyone immediately stopped and listened to Zhang Zheng's speech.
"Well, yes, it's all gathered qi, so the assessment below should be faster. Zhang Zheng said with an old face.
Although Zhang Zheng said so, his eyes still stayed on Hao for a while.
As for why Zhang Zheng knew about everyone's cultivation, the reason was very simple, because he was a Xuanjing monk, and people in the mortal realm knew how to cultivate as soon as they perceived it.
No one dared to interject Zhang Zheng's words, because Zhang Zheng was not Qiao Feng, and the old-fashioned and elegant face was placed there, which made the atmosphere very serious.
Looking at the honest eight people, Zhang Zheng nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to the only reef under the sea cliff, and said: "This assessment is very simple, it is to rely on your own strength to get to the reef in the sea." Don't think about swimming over, there is a ban near the reef, and anyone who is underwater will be sent back to the beach, and don't think about using anything else, I will observe from the top of the cliff tower. ”
"Ah~"
When the crowd heard this, they let out a burst of astonishment and exclamation.
Han Fan was embarrassed and nervous: "Zhang.. Zhang's capital, this.. Here's how it works. ”
Zhang Zheng saw that it was Han Fan who asked, and replied patiently: "How can you not do it, if you are lucky, you can tread water." ”
After speaking, Zhang Zheng slowly disappeared, and his voice came from the air: "There is no time limit for the assessment, the method of leaving the island and which force to enter, you can know by meditating on the reef, if you can't go up, stay on this island." ”
The eight people looked at each other when they heard this, and hurriedly started to try, Yu Hao was no exception, and he was even extremely excited, because now he was finally able to use the light power that he had only in the previous game to float on the water in reality.
But before he could get lucky, he saw Han Fan, who had already stepped on the water, slowly walking towards the reef, stepping on the highest part of the waves step by step, just like the sea pushing him forward.
Everyone was envious, of course, everyone present had joined the force, except for Zhang Ze and Yu Hao, although the details of the other people were hidden by the snow before, but after the Qiling was also found out, they all knew that Han Fan was an innate Dao species, and they also sighed in their hearts that this was talent.
Liu Yun saw that Han Fan had already walked, so he was naturally not to be outdone, and also tread the water, unlike Han Fan, his steps were even more awe-inspiring, as if the sea water was the wriggling ice surface, and he was sliding on the ice blade.
There are two people who open the way, and the people behind follow suit, each walking on the sea with different attitudes, it can really be said that the eight immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers.
Among these postures, Yu Hao is the most embarrassed one, he sways step by step on the sea, as if he will fall into the waves if he doesn't take any step, the reason why this is the case is because he is not very good at controlling the aura.
Yu Hao's feet had just stepped on the water, and he understood how annoying the inconspicuous microwaves under his feet were, and the vibration of the ripples would cause the aura under his feet to be unstable, so it would take a lot of mental control.
I think that when he was in the peach forest, it took him half a day to make sure that the aura was not released, and now when he encounters such complex waves, how can he run the aura freely.
Because of this, after a while, only he was still swaying on the sea, while the others were already sitting on the reef, and even Lu Qing and Zhang Ze, who were ranked worse than him, crossed the sea very smoothly.
It took Yu Hao a long time to get around the reef, but this was the most troublesome place.
The presence of the reef makes the current more unpredictable, slow and rapid, making the aura more difficult to control.
Despite the boy's efforts to control his aura, he became a subordinate of the waves, and when a large backwater wave rolled over, he fell from the water to the bottom of the sea, choked on a few mouthfuls of salty water, and then was banned and sent back to the beach.
Dripping with seawater, Yu Hao stood up from the beach, looking at the seven people who were already meditating cross-legged on the reef, he was not depressed, and did not hesitate to step towards the sea.
He only has to pass the test in his heart, because that reef is not only an assessment for him, but also the starting point for completing the obsession in his heart.
Over and over again, at noon, Yu Hao still didn't succeed, because treading water is different from boxing, the sea water changes all the time, even if Yu Hao tries hard, it is still difficult to tread water.
When Yu Hao stepped into the sea again without believing it, Han Fan stood up on the reef, glanced at the black-robed young man who was still on the shore, bowed to the sea cliff three times, muttered twice, and disappeared out of thin air.
Yu Hao knew that Han Fan should have completed the assessment and went back, but this did not affect his footsteps in the sea again.
Yu Hao didn't take two steps, Liu Yun also woke up, he looked at Yu Hao and shook his head, and also kowtowed to Haiyasan, and what he muttered disappeared.
Time flies, Yu Hao has tried countless times, and now it is sunset, and he has never succeeded.
From morning to dusk, Yu Hao experienced all kinds of eyes, including disregard, contempt, doubt, and support, but he didn't care, he only had the reef in his eyes.
At this time, Yu Hao's hair bun was already scattered, his shoulder-length hair was dripping with seawater, and his face and body were even more stained with sand, but his eyes were staring at the empty reef, and he still walked towards the sea
Zhang Zheng has been looking at Yu Hao in the Cliff Tower, yes, he didn't look at others, even if it was Zhang Ze and the two geniuses, he didn't look at it, he was looking at Yu Hao, paying attention to this guy who couldn't even control his aura.
Although Zhang Zheng knows that good qualifications are very important, people's perseverance and persistence are more important, geniuses can be defeated by difficulties, ideals can be defeated by difficulties, but people with perseverance will not.
He had heard that there had been a person in the history of the cliff assessment who passed the assessment for ten days, but that person eventually became a strong man in the Ming Dao, and now he is still sitting on the second floor of the Jing Pavilion reading books.
Although Zhang Zheng is much older than Yu Hao, he admires Yu Hao's perseverance, because he never saw Yu Hao's intention to give up.
Sometimes it is not about party affiliation, strife, race, age, but whether someone can touch that point in their heart.
Zhang Zheng shook his head and appeared on the beach, watched Yu Hao return to the beach again, and said, "You have also been hungry for a day, eat, and try again tomorrow." ”
As he spoke, Zhang Zheng took out a bag, put it on the beach, and said, "This is dry food." ”
Yu Hao stood up, bowed to Zhang Zheng and hugged his fists, and said, "Xie Zhang, the kid has some questions, I don't know if I can ask you for advice." ”
Zhang Zheng looked at Yu Hao with his back hand and asked seriously: "You should know that I am hostile to Qiao Feng, why do you dare to ask me questions." ”
Yu Hao still clenched his fists and said: "I believe that a person like Zhang Shoufu who can support the boat in his belly will naturally not worry about a fledgling boy, because you must know that no matter which faction has a strong person born, it is a part of the strength of the Ming Dynasty." ”
Zhang Zheng admired Hao even more, which also made him sigh a little, how good it would be if this son was not Qiao Feng's nephew.
A rare smile appeared on Zhang Zheng's old-fashioned old face, and he said, "Your kid has a great ability to wear high hats, let's talk about it, what's the problem." ”
Yu Hao looked at the reef and said, "My lord, may I ask if you can go to the reef in any way as long as you don't swim or use other things." ”
Zhang Zheng was stunned for a moment, he thought that Yu Hao asked him to guide the way to pass, but he didn't expect it to be such a question, and he hesitated a little: "Since.. Yes. ”
Yu Hao got the answer and smiled slyly.
Zhang Zheng felt weak for a while, feeling as if he had been deceived, but he never understood what was wrong.
Yu Hao walked in front of Zhang Zheng, bent down to pick up the bag containing dry food, and said, "Lord Zhang, I think I can go to the reef tonight, so I'll take this food with me." ”
Zhang Zheng was stunned and said: "Young man, the dry food is soaked in seawater, but it is unpalatable." ”
Without waiting for Zhang Zheng to finish speaking, Yu Hao rushed towards the sea.
Looking at Yu Hao's posture, Zhang Zheng shook his head, as if he had expected the result, took out a bag of dry food again, put it on the beach, and waited for Yu Hao to come back.
But something unexpected happened to him, only to see Yu Hao jump up directly when he was about to reach the water, and actually went up to the sea cliff.
At this time, Yu Hao's voice came from afar: "No... , Mr. Zhang... , thank you..."
Although the sea cliff is straight, it is not smooth, there are many protruding stones on it, Yu Hao concentrated the aura on his legs to increase the explosive power, so that he can move between the stones, and jump diagonally upward, just like a spirit monkey climbing, it is obvious that this aura control is much simpler than walking on the sea.
Yu Hao saw that he was almost at the height he had budgeted, and on the last jump, he poured all his aura into his legs, and the moment he made contact with the cliff face, he violently released all the strength under his feet.
"Knock"
With a muffled sound, the stones under Yu Hao's feet cracked, and the black-clothed young man's hair was sprinkled with seawater, and he was holding a bag of dry food in his hand, rushing out like a cannon, and the target of this human artillery was the reef under the sea cliff.
