Chapter Ninety-Two: Bathing in Gold
There are many ghosts and gods in the world who say that the world has never seen the real body.
But where is this, this is the place where the immortals of Qin will teach the world.
The dragon veins of the road, the stone steps to the sky.
The talk of ghosts and gods here is not just the gossip of the world.
Looking at Zhao Li's frightened look, although everyone didn't see what he saw, they could also know how terrifying it was.
In front of the stone steps to Tongtian, the twenty people were instantly startled when they saw Zhao Li's appearance, and they hesitated and did not dare to move forward.
Except for Zhao Li, no one knew what was on it.
The person next to him said in disbelief, "What's up there?"
"Ghosts!
Zhao Li's expression seemed to be crazy.
He slowly sat down on the ground with one hand on his chest, and his whole body could not help spasming.
Such a loss of soul made everyone even more frightened.
"If you don't climb the ladder within ten breaths, you will be deemed to have abstained. ”
At the extreme of the ladder, Li Chunqiu's faint voice slowly sounded.
At this time, when it is not a time of mercy, what he wants to do is the dragon gate where the carp jumps, and does not stop for any koi.
It's a dragon.
However, it is a worm.
It doesn't matter if you are the head of the cloth or the prince and general.
After Li Chunqiu spoke, the majestic stone statues standing on both sides of the ladder suddenly moved.
"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven......"
A sound like the friction of mountains and rocks sounded slowly, like the roar of a ghost, which suppressed the atmosphere even more gloomy.
The stone statues were slowly counted for the crowd.
Every time the number sounded, the hearts of the twenty people in front of them suddenly jumped.
To go up or not to go?
Zhao Li's complexion kept changing.
The dark world, the strange face, the sharp pain that pierced the chest, were all so real.
That scared him.
"Five, four............"
As time passed, Zhao Li's face was hideous, and he suddenly roared and rushed up the steps.
Since he is here, he can't just go back.
Seeing this, everyone who was with him also rushed to the high platform.
At the moment when they rushed up to the stone steps, everyone on the first stone steps showed strange looks, just like Zhao Li just now, as if they had seen something terrifying.
Twelve people jumped down from the stone steps, fell to the ground, and exhaled heavily, looking frightened and ghostly.
The remaining seven were on one knee, clutching their chests, their muscles spasming, writhing like maggots on the stone steps as if they had been hit hard.
Only Zhao Li, who went up for the first time, staggered and stood still, but he was also seriously injured.
He clutched one hand over his chest, staggering, as if he was about to fall at any moment.
"There seems to be something we can't see!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
Many people are glad that they are not the first people to go on it, and the unknown is the most terrifying.
Fan Zeng frowned and looked at the people above, there was no doubt that the people above should have seen something terrifying, and it was even likely to be a legendary ghost.
However, the immortals said that it was perseverance, not courage.
The point isn't a ghost.
Zhao Li, who was on the top of the stone steps, stood on the first stone step for a long time before his staggering figure slowly stopped.
From time to time, he subconsciously stretched out his hand, as if to resist some monster.
But every time I raised my hand halfway, I slowly lowered it.
In a full half an hour, Zhao Li slowly walked forward, every time he took a step, his whole body was twitching, as if he was experiencing heart-rending pain, he walked more than a foot wide of the stone steps for half an hour, and then slowly walked to the next stone step.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Li slowly took that step.
As soon as he stepped on the stone steps above, Zhao Li convulsed and fell to the ground.
As far as the eye could see, on the stone steps, everyone was trembling, as if they were suffering from Ling Chi.
Like maggots writhing.
"What's on the stone steps?"
As time passed, the more uneasy the people became, and the people on the stone steps were no longer human, except for a slight gasp to prove that they were still alive.
But the twenty people were scattered in their clothes and hair buns, as if they had encountered evil spirits, and their bodies were embarrassed.
Among the twenty people, thirteen fell on the first stone step, six fell on the second stone step, Zhao Li surprisingly climbed on the third stone step, but all of them had already died down.
"Those who lose consciousness are counted as failures, and the highest order is registered. ”
On the stone steps that reached the sky, Li Chunqiu flicked his sleeves, and twenty people rolled down from the stone steps one after another, falling to the ground like dead dogs.
Qin Ruishi stepped forward and dragged him down, then registered his name and appearance, and selected twenty more people from the front row.
These twenty people no longer have the slightest sense of being in the front, only a little complaining about why they don't stand a little behind.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
Time flies, wails continue, and the morning sun slowly rises to the highest place, and then slowly sets.
There are 150 groups, the highest of which is no more than the ninth step.
And there are only three people above the eighth order.
Above the seventh order, there are only fifteen people.
Compared to the ninety-nine steps, it was simply insignificant.
The whole examination room was like hell on earth, and people curled up and twitched squirmed on the stone steps.
Even Fan Zeng couldn't help but feel a little related.
The stone staircase was like hell on earth.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xuandu beside him, the late autumn wind blew Xuandu's patched clothes, but his expression did not have the slightest wave, only a trace of yearning flashed in the depths of his eyes from time to time.
Fan Zeng's heart couldn't help flashing for a year: not only did he not have the slightest fear, but his heart was full of expectations.
No, since Xuandu is not afraid, he should not be afraid.
"Next group!"
As the nine ghost stone statues slowly spoke, Qin Ruishi moved, dividing the crowd into two parts, the candidates and the candidates.
Fan Zeng, Xuandu, and the other eighteen people were included in this group.
As everyone was put into the examination room, while the rest of them were still looking, Xuandu and Fan Zeng did not hesitate at all, and the two broke away from the crowd and stepped directly onto the stone steps.
After stepping on the first stone step, Fan Zeng's figure shook slightly, but he did not fall, and still stood firmly in place.
"This son is amazing. ”
The first step is simply a gentle shake, which is a manifestation of a person who is at least five floors above.
And before everyone could praise him, Fan Zeng, who was a little slower, didn't even shake his body, and he had already stepped up the second ladder.
This is followed by the third and fourth tiers......
It's like it's really the easiest way up the stairs.
But is it?
If so, what about those who roll up the stairs covered in ash?
"Dreams?"
"Why is he so relaxed?"
The onlookers couldn't help but marvel, the strength and weakness of people are always reflected in the comparison.
Xuandu paused slightly as soon as he went up to the eighth order.
And this is already the highest score of everyone.
Behind him, Fan Zeng had already climbed the fourth ladder, while the rest were far behind, as if some people were really born to make up the numbers.
Looking down from Li Chunqiu's field of vision, Xuandu and Fan Zeng completely left everyone behind.
Basking in the afterglow of the setting sun, the two were looking in his direction.
The stone steps are all reflected in gold, like the pioneer of an era, stepping into the distance.
