Chapter 8: Trials
When the group arrives at the foot of the mountain, they can no longer ride the spirit pet, and each of them will send the spirit pet in the spirit circle at the bottom of the mountain. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info looked up into the distance, and saw a tree-lined path winding like a spiritual snake to the place where the peak was.
The cliffs on both sides of the mountain road are steep, strange rocks are steep, and there are huge boulders suspended in the air from time to time, with a bit of unruly atmosphere. At this moment, although it is not early, but the fog has not yet dispersed, and when it is steaming, everyone only feels that they are stepping on the ladder to the sky, and then feel the majestic momentum coming to their faces, which makes people can't help but take a few steps forward.
In the clouds and mist, there seems to be a spiritual spring tinkling, as if the Nine Heavens Xuanyin echoes in the empty mountain, cleansing the hearts of the world, and people can't bear to destroy this fairyland-like beauty.
Long Bufan had never seen such a scene, but he felt that the wonderful scenery of the immortal family was really different from the earthly world, with less hustle and bustle, more peace and tranquility, and people's hearts could sink. Even Murong Xue, who had been talking a lot, was rarely quiet, no longer chattering, and breathed deeply into the air here.
Seeing that Long Bufan and Murong Xue were extremely curious, Guqin Xin explained while walking, she pointed to a mountain peak suspended in the distant void, and said: That is Xianyu Mountain, don't think that it looks close, but in fact it can be far away! Only after reaching the peak is there a colorful overpass to connect, and you can reach the Xianyu Gate by stepping on the colorful overpass.
And outside the colorful overpass, there is an enchantment, the enchantment is set up by the head and the four uncles, that is, the four elders of my Xianyu Gate, if outsiders forcibly break in, they will immediately be sensed by the head and the four elders, today is the day when the Xianyu Gate recruits disciples, and the enchantment is naturally open.
Long Bufan and Murong Xue looked in the direction she was pointing, but they saw a huge mountain peak suspended above the Nine Heavens Void in the distance, and from a distance, it looked like an ancient castle floating in the air. Although there is a distance away, you can still feel the majesty of Xianyu Mountain, which makes people feel small.
And there is a huge light on the side of the mountain connecting the top of this peak, which must be the colorful bridge that Guqin said in his heart.
Gu Qinxin pointed to some caves in the middle of the mountain again, and said: These caves are inhabited by spirit beasts raised by Xianyumen, and these spirit beasts are not used for riding, they are mainly used for attacking, and they are very ferocious. And there is a prohibition in the air, and it is impossible to fly directly, otherwise it will be attacked by the mountain protection array, and if you want to attack from the ground, you will be attacked by spirit beasts.
Long Bufan knew in his heart that this mountain road was so steep, and there were murderous spirit beasts lurking here halfway, and this fairy feather gate was easy to defend and difficult to attack!
Lu Qing on the side said with a smile: These spirit beasts are not the most powerful, they have a rampant head in the Immortal Feather Sect, which was accepted by the ancestors of our Immortal Feather Sect. However, I have never seen it in the Immortal Feather Sect for many years, but I have only heard the elders talk about it. It is said that it was a hundred years ago when the Xian Pi was dispatched! It is precisely because the Xian Yu Gate is guarded by the Xian Qi that some young people dare not try to break into the Xian Yu Gate.
A few days ago, I was afraid that Long Bufan had never heard of it, but in the library pavilion, those Tianlong Bufan read a lot of books, so he naturally knew a lot.
Some people are also known as the Kiln, a kind of monster in ancient legends, very fond of preying on humans, I think it is the ancestors of the Xianyu Sect who settled down after subduing it!
Legend has it that Qi Pi was once a god, the son of the candle dragon, Long Bufan does not know whether it is true or false, and it may be verified when the art industry is successful in the future.
Thinking that there was a monkey living in the Xianyu Gate, Long Bufan's heart was dripping with cold sweat, and he felt that even his back was a little colder, after all, it was a fierce beast! Moreover, it was a fierce beast that specialized in preying on human beings, in case one day the people of the Xianyu Gate forgot to feed the beast, this great god was hungry and panicked again, and he might swallow himself in one bite, and he was afraid that he would die unjustly at that time.
It seemed to see Long Bufan's worries, Guqin said in his heart: You don't have to worry about Qiqi, because Qiqi stays in the trapped god gate of the Xianyu Gate, and will only manifest when he is summoned by the head of the sect.
Long Bufan's heart was awe-inspiring, although he had never seen the trapped god, but he had seen a record of it in the book, it was a powerful ancient treasure! Legend has it that those with profound mana can use it to trap the immortal god. Of course, this can't help but exaggerate, just like the bundle of immortal ropes that many sects in the cultivation world have (the bundle of immortal ropes will be introduced later), it does not mean that they will definitely be able to tie up the immortals, but it is not difficult to imagine the power of the trapped gods.
It is really extraordinary that the Immortal Feather Sect can stand in the cultivation world for thousands of years and become one of the top ten sects in the Immortal Cloud Continent, this background is deep enough! Long Bufan was secretly surprised in his heart.
You must know that there are thousands of sects in the Xianyun Continent, and it is naturally extraordinary to be able to rank in the top ten, and the ten major sects only occupy one seat in the east, west and north, namely: East China Sea Dragon Divine Palace, West Heavenly Divine Spirit Temple, Arctic Xiaoyao Island, and the south occupies seven seats, namely: Divine Spirit Sect Immortal Feather Gate Tianyazhuang Haijiao Pavilion Eight Desolations War God Sect Nine Xiao Jade Girl Gate.
Here, the author should make up that among the ten major sects, the east, west, and north are slightly stronger than the southern sects, and their people rarely move around in the cultivation world, only once every hundred years, and once every ten years, the rookie list appears, and every time this is the competition among the various sects.
The competition is divided into several grades, one is the discussion between the elders of various factions, and these elders have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. The competition between them is no longer a simple competition of cultivation, but a comparison of the perception of the way of heaven, and discussion with each other, in order to understand the heart of heaven and ascend to the fairyland as soon as possible.
The second is the competition between the heads of the various factions, and the competition between the heads inevitably has the idea of fighting for the ranking of the sects. Of course, this item does not completely determine the ranking of the sect, but combined with the number of winners or rankings of the rookie list battle of the disciples every ten years, the ranking of the sect can be determined by the combination.
And Gu Jian, the head of the Xianyu Sect, had just taken over the position of head at that time, and he also showed his skills at the Dao Meeting, which ranked fifth in the "Xianyun Continent's Talent List in the Past 100 Years", and the competition at that time was not only between the ten major sects, but also countless scattered cultivators, including people from the Demon Dao, often at this time to get a glimpse of the number of talents in the world, it is not difficult to imagine how difficult it is to be in the top five at that time.
The once-in-a-century discussion meeting is naturally a bit long, but the rookie list once every decade has made many newcomers of the sect alive, because as long as they are between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five, they can participate in the rookie list competition.
Now that five years have passed on this rookie list, there are still five years to see the masters of various factions, Long Bufan also has some expectations in his heart, and he doesn't know if he will be on the list at that time, but it is also a beautiful thing to see young talents from various factions learning from each other!
Thinking about Long Bufan like this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, although he wanted to cultivate, but in order to be able to heal Xiang Yuling's leg, he had to choose the alchemy department, and the alchemy department was not unable to cultivate, but when the time came, he studied pharmacology every day, and he didn't have much time to cultivate, so could he still cultivate at that time?
It's not a big deal, if others cultivate for five hours a day, I will cultivate for ten hours, and I don't believe that I will be inferior to others. Long Bufan secretly cheered himself up in his heart.
Everyone walked on the winding mountain road, there were more and more people, many people knew each other, and they talked to each other, and some people came to greet Lu Qing Guqinxin, Lu Qing was fine, but Guqinxin still looked frosty.
After about an hour of travel, they came to a flat place, in the middle of which stood a huge pavilion, supported by four huge mahogany, and the pillars carved with various gods, which were so powerful that they were not formidable.
Take a break and you're about to face the test. Gu Qinxin said lightly.
Oh, I can finally rest, I'm really tired!Murong Xue grumbled and sat on the stone bench around the pavilion.
Lu Qing glanced at Long Bufan curiously, after such a hurry, ordinary people were already tired, they have immortal cultivation is easy to say, but Long Bufan is very strange, just an ordinary person, walking on such a rugged mountain road is not panting and blushing.
This guy is really very human!" Lu Qing said secretly in his heart.
After resting for a while, a man dressed in a blue robe with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked slowly, walked to the pavilion and stopped, and said loudly: "You fellow disciples can go to the top of the mountain first to register the disciples you have recruited, and the rest of the newcomers will come with me."
The crowd suddenly stirred, and many people looked excited, knowing that they were finally about to face a test.
Long Bufan and Murong Xue were a little curious, and looked at Guqin Xin and Murong Xue.
Lu Qingdao: You are about to face a test next, and we can't accompany you, so we have to wait for you at the top of the mountain, and I wish you good luck. As he spoke, he pulled the guqin heart and left.
Gu Qinxin looked at Long Bufan, paused slightly, and said: "I am optimistic about you!"
Although Gu Qinxin didn't say much, Long Bufan could see her trust in herself, he looked at Gu Qinxin's departing back, shook his fist, and as if he was cheering himself up, he resolutely said: I can do it.
At this time, one after another, people followed the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and Murong Xue pulled Long Bufan, who was stunned, and said: Bufan, let's go!
Long Bufan took a deep breath and smiled, Okay, let's see what the test is! The two also walked with the crowd.
Everyone followed the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes to the edge of a cliff, but heard the man introduce himself: My name is Fang Wenxiang, some of you may be my junior brothers and sisters in the future, and I hope that everyone can pass the test here.
Everyone looked at it in unison, only to see that the cliff was steep, with few footholds in the middle, and many ancient vines hung on it, directly connecting to the top of the mountain.
Looking at these ancient vines, Long Bufan secretly said, these vines are probably thousands of years old! Otherwise, how could they be so big.
Fang Wenxiang continued: The cultivation road is already arduous and bumpy, and there will be many obstacles along the way, as long as we persevere, never give up, and not be afraid of difficulties, we can reach the peak of life, so the first level you have to face is this cliff, as long as you climb up with your bare hands within three hours, you will be considered to have passed the first level.
As soon as Fang Wenxiang's words fell, everyone immediately booed continuously, and many people had already begun to retreat, such a high cliff could not be seen at all, I am afraid that it would be no less than ten thousand feet! How difficult it was to ask people to climb up with their bare hands! You must know that these people are ordinary people, even though some people have spiritual roots, but they have no effect on this kind of test.
Murong Xue also pouted and complained: No, such a high cliff for us to climb up? There are so many rocks and trees in the middle, what if there are snakes? Even if there are no snakes, they will stain their clothes! It will not be beautiful at that time.
Long Bufan couldn't help but laugh, and said: My eldest lady, we are not here to enjoy, we are here to test, you are not worried about falling but worrying about soiling your clothes, I really don't know what to say about you.
Murong Xue said: I haven't washed my clothes since I was a child, and Xianyumen doesn't let people bring servants, what should I do if my clothes are dirty?
Long Bufan shook his head and sighed: "That's it, as long as you climb up, how about I wash your clothes for you?"
After hearing this, Murong Xue's face was overflowing with joy, and she immediately said: This is what you said!
Long Bufan nodded hurriedly: Yes, yes, I said it, let's go! Everyone else has already started, so let's stop grinding.
After finishing speaking, he immediately pulled Murong Xue and walked towards the cliff.
Long Bufan grabbed the ancient vine, and felt that it was still very solid, and he definitely wouldn't break it because he couldn't bear his weight, so he was relieved. looked at Murong Xue sideways, and smiled: Let's go!
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and climbed up together.
