Chapter 48: The Second Ring
It's hard to go up the mountain, and it's even harder to go down.
The mountain wall is steep and steep, the light is fresh and smooth, and there is nowhere to focus, so you can only rely on your hands to grope for the place where you can focus, and grasp it slowly down.
When encountering a place where there is nowhere to focus, you can only use the sharp blade of the spirit weapon to pierce into the stone crevice and climb step by step.
If you are not careful, you may be in danger of falling down the valley and dying at any time.
The Hehuan Sect is strict with the selection of disciples, so let's not mention it for the time being.
Other sects, some of which are even better than them.
Therefore, none of the ten major sects is an easy place to enter.
"Sister, I'm so scared!" Lan Xiang picked at a piece of bluestone, looked at Chu Yuanyang beside him with trembling sideways, and even spoke with trembling.
"Don't be afraid! Don't look down. Chu Yuanyang was a little panting when she spoke, and she was also very afraid of heights.
glanced sideways at Su Manyin, who was staying on his left, and was surprised.
Su Manyin was timid, but although there was also fear in his eyes at this time, his whole body was not as trembling as Lan Xiang, and his limbs were visible and steady.
"Manyin, aren't you afraid?"
Su Manyin nodded, and a trace of sweat appeared on her fair face: "I'm afraid, but I used to collect medicine and often had to climb cliffs, so compared to you, it's better." ”
"Collecting medicine, are you a doctor?" Chu Yuanyang leaned against the mountain wall, intending to take a rest.
"Sister, Manyin is a rare alchemist. Lan Xiang followed Chu Yuanyang's example and leaned against the mountain wall.
"Alchemist?" Chu Yuanyang, the master who refines the pill, couldn't fully understand, but he didn't ask directly.
"That's right!" Lan Xiang said with envy: "Manyin is really powerful, you know, alchemists are even rare in the entire cultivation world. I don't know if the head of their Su family is old and confused, and he doesn't let the precious alchemist cultivate it well, and he loves a daughter who is nothing. ”
"Lan Xiang, don't make fun of me. Su Manyin's cheeks fluttered two lumps of redness, and then his mood was a little low: "There is nothing powerful about a first-grade alchemist, my father is a concubine, and I am also a concubine, and my qualifications can only be regarded as average, and it is normal for grandpa not to value it." ”
Lan Xiang still wanted to speak.
Chu Yuanyang saw that Su Manyin didn't seem to like to mention the family, so he interrupted: "Okay, let's continue to climb when we have enough rest." ”
Lan Xiang listened to it and was about to climb, and suddenly showed a bitter expression.
Su Manyin smiled softly and slowly moved down.
"Ahh
A scream rang out overhead.
Immediately after, a figure fell in horror.
"Sister... Sister... Sister...!" Lan Xiang was terrified.
Su Manyin's face turned pale, and his whole body was shaky on the cliff.
Chu Yuanyang's heart sank, and he slowly freed up a hand, held Su Manyin's shoulder and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't mess around, let's go down slowly, it'll be fine!"
How can such a big living person fall down?
This is really a human life, does the sect disregard everyone's safety?
Fortunately, the three of them were blessed with great lives, supported each other, and were careful every step, and arrived at the mountain gorge and valley before the sunset shed the last rays of afterglow.
During this time, several people fell from the cliffs one after the other.
They went from panic and fear at first to numbness and indifference.
The candidates came down one after another, and according to rough statistics, the number of people was less than half.
Most of these half of the people are still hesitant at the top of the mountain, and they are in the same place in a dilemma.
A few people are unlucky enough to fall off the cliff.
Strangely, when they came to the bottom of the cliff, they did not see the stump of a single person, not even a drop of blood.
Between two straight and steep peaks, there is a mountain gorge and a deep valley, which is more like a road tightly sandwiched by two walls.
"Boom......!"
A series of water sounds like spring thunder.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by a touch of silver in the distance.
Five hundred meters away, on the cliff cliff, a series of noisy thunderous hanging spring waterfalls, from the top of the peak of the Ten Thousand Peaks to the Wuxia valley poured down, poured into the clear spring and blue pool at the foot of the mountain.
Water droplets splash in all directions, the waves are taotao, such as clouds and mist, rising several zhang high, under the moonlight silver, it is particularly mysterious.
"It's so beautiful!" Lan Xiang opened her mouth and sighed after being surprised.
Not only pandan, but also many people who sigh at this beautiful scenery.
Late at night, the dark night sky is full of shining stars.
The temperature in the valley dropped suddenly, and the temperature was still thirty or forty degrees during the day, but it dropped below zero at the moment.
Fortunately, everyone is a person who cultivates the truth, has aura to protect the body, and is not afraid of cold and heat.
Hundreds of people dispersed, gathering only with people they knew and befriended, or talking to each other, or hugging together, or meditating .......
After sleepless nights, the sky just opened the curtain of black oppression, and the whole mountain gorge and valley resounded with noisy human voices.
"What the hell is this place? Where did the sandalwood box come from?" Su Shiyun stood in the crowd, looking around and complaining in annoyance.
Chu Yuanyang, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the crowd, and then looked around.
There was nothing in the entire gorge and valley except for the silver waterfall that plunged for thousands of miles not far away, and a natural boulder thirty meters away from them.
Chu Yuanyang's eyes were fixed on the natural boulder.
The boulder was more than ten feet high, and it took twenty or thirty people to hold it hand in hand.
Strangely, the roots of the boulder are not connected to the ground, as if someone had deliberately moved the boulder from elsewhere and pressed it to the ground.
As if to verify her findings, Ruan Ziling silently walked to the edge of the boulder and circled around the boulder.
"If you want to complete the task test and get the sandalwood box, you will push this stone away with me. Ruan Ziling pointed to the boulder and said to the crowd around him.
Su Shiyun bore the brunt of Ruan Ziling's appearance of being above her, and immediately asked: "You mean that the sandalwood box is under this boulder?" and then laughed non-stop: "Hahaha, you said that there are hundreds of sandalwood boxes hidden under this stone? Are you stupid, or are we all stupid?"
If the boulder is empty underneath, the weight of the boulder will definitely push the ground out of the pit.
"Believe it or not!"
Ruan Ziling calmed everyone that before there was no better way, they would definitely take her advice, so they were not in a hurry, and stood there with their hands crossed over their chests, looking calm.
"Sister, you said that the sandalwood box is really under the boulder?" Lan Xiang tugged at the hem of Chu Yuanyang's clothes and asked curiously.
"Why don't you try it?"
Chu Yuanyang pulled out the hem of his clothes from her hand and walked towards the boulder with his feet raised.
Ruan Ziling saw that the first person in the crowd to come out was Chu Yuanyang, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
With Chu Yuanyang taking the lead, and Lanxiang and Su Manyin following, soon many people came out of the crowd one after another.
Su Shiyun looked left and right angrily, and she didn't join in to save face.
Everyone followed Soft Ziling's command, and the boulder soon crumbled.
"I'd like to see if there are really hundreds of sandalwood boxes hidden under this boulder!"
Su Shiyun watched the show with a few followers, with visible ridicule on his face, and swaggered to the side of the boulder.
