The Shuangcheng faction is about two hundred miles away from Mingyang City, and is located in the Shuangcheng Peak outside Mingyang City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The peak of the Twin Cities Peak has left two ancient cities since ancient times, and the Twin Cities faction established here is also named after it.
Wen Yiming carried thirty gold coins on his body, and the rest were left to Jiang Xian for safekeeping. The two of them went out for the first time, because they had enough coils on their bodies and did not bring any more packages, one of them carried a small cloth bag, which only contained two changes of clothes and drinking water, but it was extremely light.
For two days, the two talked and laughed along the way, but it was not boring. When the two of them slowly arrived at the foot of Shuangcheng Peak, they saw that there was already a sea of people at the foot of the mountain, and tents were set up everywhere. All kinds of martial cultivators gathered together, and they talked endlessly, and a hundred meters away from the crowd they heard a commotion.
Wen Yiming and the two glanced at each other, although they knew that there were many people who came to participate in the disciple recruitment competition, they didn't expect it to be so crowded.
Because the first condition for enrollment is that they cannot be more than eighteen years old, and the vast majority of them are teenagers, and some older young and middle-aged people are here, and they are the followers or elders of the contestants with a bit of family background.
Look at people's bags and small bags of luggage, as well as the bodyguards on duty, what tents are complete. Wen Yiming and the two looked at each other again, and couldn't help laughing.
Some of the people who heard their laughter turned their heads to look at the two of them, and saw that they were wearing dirt and not pulling machines, their hands were empty, and their eyes were full of contempt and disdain.
It was a rather elegant-looking young man who smiled kindly at the two, stood up and walked in front of the two, and saw Tong Qiang half a step behind and looked around, and looking at his dark face, it was estimated that he was more than eighteen years old, thinking that he was here to send Wen Yiming. He bowed his hand to Wen Yiming and said, "In Xia Fei Yuqing, are your friends here to participate in the selection of the Twin Cities faction?"
Seeing that this Fei Yuqing was like a scholar, he wore a loose white long suit, tied a red silk ribbon around his waist, and hung a green coiled dragon jade pendant on the side, and held a slightly ancient sheath long sword between his two hands. Wen Yiming hugged his fists and said: "Hello, in the next Wen Yiming! I came to participate in the selection, and Brother Fei is the same, right?"
Fei Yuqing seemed to like interacting with people very much, and said happily: "It turned out to be Brother Wen, I am fortunate to have it!"
"Lines... Chest..."Wen Yiming was dizzy, coughed, and said, "Hehe, I'm glad I will!"
"Brother Wen, the preliminary test for a while needs to close the cultivation of all the contestants present, and then climb the Shuangcheng Peak at the specified time, and ask Brother Wen to take care of it, hehe"
Wen Yiming was about to ask clearly, when he suddenly felt that the surroundings were quiet, and when he looked up, he saw a group of people coming down from the stone ladder avenue on the mountain.
One of them, a long-bearded old man in his sixties, glanced at the audience and said loudly: "Qiu and Tao, the elders of the Lonely City of the Lower Shuangcheng Sect, next to me is Hao Tianxiao, the chief disciple of the besieged city, today's first test is strictly controlled by us, now all those over eighteen years old are invited to leave the field five hundred meters away, and all those who participate in the selection line up to pay the registration fee over there, and then gather here." ”
Wen Yiming was full of anger when he heard the voice of Qiu and Tao, he was still in his ears about three hundred meters away, and secretly said that this person didn't know what to cultivate, and it shouldn't be low to be able to become an elder, but what did he mean by Hongcheng and Lonely City?
The scene of tens of thousands of people at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the exit of the stage, and the queue after paying the registration fee, it took almost more than an hour.
Qiu Youtao was obviously a little impatient, and shouted coldly: "The first test is will, I will only say it once." First, after drinking the two large jars of water on my left hand will suppress your cultivation for two hours, and all contestants must drink a bowl before going up the mountain. ”
"Second, the right side is full of 100 catties of stone piers, and all contestants who have drunk water must carry a stone pier until they arrive at the Twin Cities Square. ”
"Thirdly, those who did not arrive at the square in two hours were eliminated. ”
"Fourth, those who cheat halfway will be deemed to have given up and will be automatically eliminated. The whole venue is monitored by the disciples of the Twin Cities, and the contestants are self-respecting!
One of them, a tall and silly young man, asked, "May I ask Elder Qiu, which ones would be considered cheating?"
Qiu Youtao glanced at the tall young man and said, "Don't you have long ears?" Drink water before going up the mountain, carry the stone pier, and can't put it down halfway." Pig brains!"
The humble young man lowered his head and his face was flushed, but he didn't dare to be the slightest dissatisfied.
Qiu Youtao glanced coldly again, and said coldly: "Go up the mountain!"
A group of people drank water and carried stone piers in turn according to the regulations of Qiu and Tao, and then rushed out.
Not to mention standing at the foot of the mountain, ten miles away, you can only see smoke on the mountainside, and you can't see the whole picture at all. No one knows how tall it is, and it is extremely difficult to think about it when it takes two hours to carry another hundred catties without cultivation. Just let people carry the stone pier and stand for two hours, and most of the contestants will be eliminated.
Nearly 10,000 participants set off in different orders, and Wen Yiming didn't know how they calculated the time. But at this time, he couldn't help but think about this, and when he and Tong Qiang and Fei Yuqing took the stone pier after drinking water, nearly two-thirds of the people had already set off in front.
Wen Yiming only took two steps to carry the stone pier, and then he felt that the heat flow of the dantian disappeared, and the body full of strength faded, no different from an ordinary person, which made him feel very surprised, the secret path would not be the transformation of the gong as mentioned in martial arts novels, right?
Tong Qiang accelerated and rushed forward at the beginning, and when he turned around and saw Wen Yiming moving forward at a uniform speed, he slowed down. And Fei Yuqing is also moving forward side by side with the two.
Wen Yiming could only maintain enough physical strength when he didn't know the distance. This is similar to the marathon in the previous life, which tests will and endurance.
Half an hour later, the three of them had gradually begun to overtake the martial cultivators who had slowed down in front, and many of them were sitting down and resting on the stone piers. In the middle of the way, there were two people who put down the stone pier without seeing the watcher and tried to cheat, but as soon as they put down the stone pier, they were driven down by the supervision disciple who suddenly appeared and was disqualified.
In less than an hour, Wen Yiming felt that he was almost on the edge of the limit, Tong Qiang gritted his teeth and gasped for breath, which was extremely heavy, and he was already more than ten meters behind Wen Yiming. On the contrary, Fei Yuqing, who is like a scholar, can still keep up with the pace of Wen Yiming, and only can keep up, looking at his trembling legs and soaked clothes, he knows that he has reached the limit.
At this moment, a young man with a lean figure and a resolute facial line steadily overtook the three of them, walked five meters away and turned around and let out a contemptuous sneer.
Wen Yiming was a little surprised, but there was no fluctuation, and he controlled his breathing and moved forward slowly. After a while, two of them overtook them, and one of them they all knew was the tall and simple young man, who strode forward, his breath was a little unsteady, but he seemed very relaxed.
When the tall boy and Wen Yiming were side by side, he nodded at the three of them and smiled innocently, and said, "Come on! Then he switched his shoulders and moved on.
Wen Yiming nodded, having a good impression of this honest and tall boy.
When he was looking at the Twin Cities Square from afar, Wen Yiming already felt a little dizzy and stumbled several times. Tong Qiang was already hundreds of meters behind, and every time he took two steps, he would stand in place and pant like a cow. Wen Yiming was surprised that Fei Yuqing, who looked very gentle, actually only fell behind him for about twenty meters, looking at his vain steps, every time he took a step, he shook off a few large beads of sweat.
Seeing that Tong Qiang's body was already a little unstable, Wen Yiming stopped in place, and it was not until Tong Qiang caught up that the two supported each other to move forward, and in such a short time, Fei Yuqing had already arrived at his destination.
At this time, Wen Yiming felt that his breathing was uncontrollable, the vibration of his heartbeat was extremely strong, and every time he took a step forward, he felt that the major arteries were distended and painful. Tong Qiang was sweating like rain, hunched his waist, and his hands were almost on the ground.
"Yiming, I can't do it, you, you go quickly, don't care, me!" Tong Qiang really wanted to give up, his eyes couldn't help drooping.
Wen Yiming stretched out his hand to support Tong Qiang to stand still, and said, "Don't give up, you... Do you want to go home and fight for the rest of your life? Disappointed? It's a brother for life, do you dare not to accompany ... Climb with me... You just want Lao Tzu to climb, and you have to climb and go up!"
