Chapter 2 The Road to Heaven
The scorching sun was in the sky, and the fiery sun sprinkled ten thousand golden rays, mercilessly roasting the earth shrouded in high temperatures. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Probably due to the madness of the hot weather, the road was empty, and it took a long time for a carriage to whizz by. In such a hot situation, there were still two people walking on the road. The first person stood tall, paused from time to time, and waited for the person behind. And the people in the back couldn't straighten their waists when they were hot, their clothes were already wet with sweat, and they still had a package on their shoulders.
The people in the back were too hot and tired, and they kept walking from morning to noon, without stopping. This is also a little unbearable for Han Lie, who has a good physique. When he caught up with the son who was waiting for him, he quickly asked, "Childe, why don't we take the carriage?" “
Three years ago, Han Lie went from the village to Qingyu City, and at that time he was in the carriage sent by the head of the Han family. Although it was as hot as it is now, it will be more comfortable in the carriage after all.
"It's good to work hard at a young age, and you still have it when you grow up? Walking is to exercise your physique, and when you start practicing, you will know the benefits. “
Childe knocked Han Lie on the head with a folding fan, and in the name of exercising Han Lie, he covered up the fact that he didn't have much money to ride in the carriage. In order to divert Han Lie's attention, Childe continued, "Do you remember what I told you in the morning?" “
"Remember, I remember everything Childe said." Han Lie hurriedly replied, he was the best at memorizing things. When I used to help the village chief's family, I never forgot an order.
"Oh, then tell me, what I have said, I will tell you completely, and give you something that can relieve the heat."
"Childe said that the place where we are is in the southern region of the Aurora Continent, and also said that this world has vast immortals. These immortals ascend to heaven and earth, are omnipotent, and transcend the mortal world. But although these immortals have a long lifespan, they will fight with each other and form gangs, and the reasons are also strange. In the Southern Regions, there are three major sects as the pillars of the Southern Regions, protecting the monks in the Southern Regions, namely the Cold Jade Gate, the Flame Valley, and the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion. And every nine years, they will openly recruit apprentices together, recruiting young people under the age of eighteen with innocent backgrounds. ”
Han Lie paused, and then said, "The latest recruitment, just a month later, we are going there to rush there. As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Childe in a daze, thinking about what could relieve the heat.
"Yes, just take one pill." Childe already had an extra medicine bottle in his hand and threw it to Han Lie.
There were more than a dozen small green pills in the medicine bottle, and Han Lie only poured out one as he said. Swallowing it in his mouth, an indescribable cool breath permeated his mouth, driving away the heat from head to toe, and that cool feeling almost made Han Lie scream. With a breath of turbidity, it seemed that the energy of the whole body had recovered, and the tired bent waist had regained its strength.
"Just this bottle, I can only eat one pill a day." Seeing that he had regained his spirits, Childe hurried on his way. At the same time, he went on to tell him about the immortals.
At night, Han Lie saw Gongzi conjure up two tents out of nowhere. When they were around the fire, they conjured up food again. This made Han Lie very surprised, and he didn't get an answer when he asked Gongzi.
The journey was very boring, and Childe not only gave Han Lie the heatstroke relief pill, but also gave him some simple breathing methods. In this way, Han Lie was able to persevere. It's strange to say, it was obviously hot and tired during the day, but after a night, Han Lie was able to live again. And there are times during the day when I can't hold on, and suddenly I will feel a trace of coolness rushing into my body to relieve the heat. This silk coolness is different from the pill given by Childe, I don't know where it came from.
This reminded Han Lie of the night when he knelt in front of the village chief's house three years ago, and he was shivering from the rain. In the end, every once in a while, a warm current poured into the body, allowing me to stay up until dawn and not pass out.
After walking for more than ten days, Han Lie's skin was tanned, but on the other hand, Gongzi was still very fair. Childe told Han Lie that this was the effect of cultivation, which made Han Lie yearn for it even more.
Halfway through the day, the two finally arrived at a town. This town was a little smaller than Qingyu City, but Han Lie was happy. Because Childe hired a carriage here, he finally didn't have to walk.
In the carriage, Han Lie was not idle. Childe took the book and handed it to Han Lie to read. And said: "If you are illiterate, there is a way to reach the heavens in front of you, and you can't learn it." ”
Gongzi thought that Han Lie's temperament was wooden, and his literacy might not go very well, so he was ready to teach him earnestly, and he would be fine sitting in the carriage anyway. Unexpectedly, Han Lie was really talented in memory, and he almost had the ability to never forget, and in just ten days, he mastered books such as "Thousand Character Text", which surprised Childe.
Three days before the Harvest Assembly, the carriage arrived.
The first thing that catches your eye is not Qionglou Yuyu, the fairy family where the crane takes off. It's people, people all over the mountains, I'm afraid there are no less than tens of thousands.
Han Lie was dumbfounded and asked, "Childe, are these all here to apprentice?" “
"Not exactly, most of them are the elders of the children who come to apprentice. Don't look at it, there will be nothing here except people now, and it will take three days before the immortals come. At that time, the road to heaven will begin. These days you are tired from running around, and even in the carriage is very bumpy. Now let's take a few days of rest and refresh yourself. ”
Han Lie asked Gongzi again, only to find out, don't look at the tens of thousands of people gathered here now, and there are only a few dozen people who can finally reach the top and enter the three major sects. But it doesn't matter if you can't reach the top, as long as you can walk more than half the distance, you will be sent to a special place when you are sent out of the rooftop, where there will be some small sects to receive you.
In the past three days, Han Lie has been sleeping for the most part. Because listening to Childe's words, I have to nourish my spirit, and I have been really tired for the past month. As time passed, more and more people arrived. There are even some immortals who fly in the sky. However, Childe said that the immortals who appeared first were those small sects, and they were not our target.
"Boom!" The bell rang nine times, and a high platform rose from the ground, covered with mist, and it was impossible to see clearly.
"The road to heaven is opened, and anyone who can reach the peak, who is under the age of eighteen, and who has an innocent background, can enter one of the three gates of the Cold Jade Gate, the Flame Valley, and the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion. The gate of Dengtian Road is only open for three days, and it will be closed after expiration! “
As soon as the words fell, the fog on the high platform dissipated, and a white jade gate slowly opened, and there were layers of white jade stone steps inside. A translucent white curtain of light surrounds the door, making the inside appear hazy.
Groups of teenagers rushed in, but Gongzi was not in a hurry, and instructed Han Lie: "You remember clearly, our target is Hanyumen. Remember, don't enter any other sect. If you don't manage to enter the Hanyu Gate in the end, then follow me in as my servant after you are done, but your cultivation after entering will be a little troublesome. “
"Well, remember, Childe." Han Lie followed Childe towards the Ascending Heaven Road, and found that a small number of teenagers were blocked out of the light curtain, so he couldn't help but be puzzled, so he asked Childe.
"Hehe, those are all guys who are over eighteen years old, but they don't give up. Rest assured, this won't affect us. When he got to the door, Childe told him again before he walked in.
Han Lie took a deep breath and walked in as well.
From the outside, it is not very large, about a dozen meters wide. When I entered it, I found that I couldn't see the boundary between the two sides at all, and tens of thousands of teenagers went in, and they were also scattered. There were only a few hundred people Han Lie could see, and there was no son among them.
The white jade steps slowly extend upwards, and the slope is not very large. But looking up, there is only blue sky and white clouds, and there is no end in sight, as if it is really a road to the sky.
After watching for a while, Han Lie adjusted his body with the breathing method taught by Gongzi and began to climb.
Some of the teenagers seemed to be in a hurry, almost running upwards, and for a moment they were nowhere to be seen.
There are also some teenagers who are not impatient or impatient, confident, and climb steadily step by step.
Han Lie didn't think too much about it, anyway, as long as he could climb to the top, he could do it, although he looked far away, as long as there was an end, he would definitely be able to reach it.
In the process of climbing upward, due to the different speeds of everyone, the people around Han Lie gradually became scarce. As time passed, the doorway below was also out of sight. There are white jade steps on the left and right, and occasionally one or two backs can be seen climbing.
When the road to heaven first opened, it was in the morning. Now, the sun has reached the top of the head, and it is once again shining with a scorching ray. Climbing upwards is already more difficult than walking on flat ground. By now, Han Lie was already sweating profusely.
opened the medicine bottle given by Childe in his hand, but unfortunately there was no green pill in it. You can't use pills to restore your energy as you did when you walked before. However, this is also expected by Childe, and the road to heaven cannot be used in the first place.
After another period of time, Han Lie had really become a step climber. I couldn't stand at all, sweat left on the ground, and I almost climbed up the steps with my hands. On the way, I also met several teenagers who stopped there to rest. It's not that he didn't want to take a break, but he always felt that he couldn't walk when he stopped.
In fact, he felt very right, although he didn't know this, the sky and time in the road to the sky were different from the outside, and only when he moved up, the time of the sky would advance. Those teenagers who stayed in place to rest before the sun went down, they would be sunburned and kicked out by the road to the sky.
Han Lie's crawling speed was getting slower and slower, and his fingers and knees were worn out! The sun in the sky has finally gone down, otherwise it will be even more painful under the poisonous sun of the sun.
The sky turned dark, and a strong wind rose up the white jade staircase, sweeping away the previous heat at once. Han Lie used his last strength to climb towards the peak with no end in sight.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was rumbling with rain! The big raindrops hit Han Lie's body.
