"I'm not mistaken, Iron Mountain, he, he actually stepped on the eighth stone staircase. ”

"Ah, it's incredible, he really stepped on it"

“......”

After Tie Shan stepped on the eighth stone step, the crowd suddenly exploded, and they couldn't believe that Tie Shan could step on the eighth stone step.

Now there was only one last step left before the ninth stone staircase, and everyone was worried about Iron Mountain. Iron Mountain stood on the top of the eighth stone step, looking sluggish, from the previous flush to the current pale, Iron Mountain seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis.

Chu Feng looked at Tie Shan's current appearance, and he was also worried, clasping his hands tightly, his face full of anxiety.

"Iron Mountain will be fine, right?" Chu Feng was too worried in his heart, so he still asked Feng Yuerong.

Feng Yuerong pondered: "It's hard to say now, now Tie Shan's body has no strength left, if you want to step on the ninth stone steps, this is impossible, unless there is some miracle, it stands to reason that by this time, Tie Shan should have been unable to hold it a long time ago, but Tie Shan can still stand on it now." ”

Chu Feng asked Zhong Yuan about Tie Shan's situation, Zhong Yuan was also very calm, he couldn't see any expression on his face, and after a while, he said: "Now is the most critical period for Tie Shan, and it is also the biggest test for Tie Shan, at this point, it is no longer possible to pass by strength, this is a test of his talent and perseverance, if Tie Shan can find his own way at this time, then Tie Shan will be able to pass this final test." ”

Chu Feng asked a little incomprehensibly, "Teacher Zhong, what is this final test?"

Zhong Yuan looked at Chu Feng, sighed slightly, and said: "This last level is a test of your own heart, to put it bluntly, it is to compete with yourself, if you can defeat yourself, then you can pass the assessment." ”

"Compete with yourself?"

Chu Feng was also a little puzzled, he defeated himself, so did he win or lose?

Some couldn't figure out this question, Chu Feng didn't think about it anymore, and then looked at Tie Shan, who was still standing in the eighth layer of the world, and silently cheered for Tie Shan in his heart.

Iron Mountain had stayed on the eighth stone step for nearly half an hour, and some people below were already impatiently waiting, but no one left, and everyone wanted to see if Iron Mountain could step on this last ninth stone step.

After a stalemate on the eighth stone step for more than half an hour, the Iron Mountain finally began to move.

Tie Shan moved his body slowly, and then became relaxed, and his pale face gradually became bloody, and then, Tie Shan slowly raised his feet, and under the attention of everyone, he easily stepped on the ninth stone step.

When Tie Shan stepped on the ninth stone steps, the stone steps suddenly emitted a colorful glow, and the brilliance flowed, reflecting the Tie Shan with some dreamlike feeling.

Seeing that Tie Shan had stepped on the ninth stone step, the crowd below was already boiling, and Chu Feng and the others cheered happily, in addition to being surprised that Tie Shan had stepped on the ninth stone step, they were more cheering and congratulating Tie Shan.

Zhong Yuan finally smiled, looking at the iron mountain above, tears seemed to be faintly overflowing in his eyes.

After Tie Shan came down from the top of the stone steps, he came to the eyes of everyone, looking at the current Tie Shan, his face was radiant and energetic, and between his eyebrows, there was a deeper feeling than before, and his whole temperament had also changed a lot, as if he had changed a person.

Zhong Yuan patted Tie Shan's shoulder with great satisfaction, and said happily: "Tie Shan, good, good, I really didn't misunderstand you, you passed the assessment." ”

Tie Shan's eyes were also filled with tears, all this he had just experienced felt like a dream, and now that he thought about it, it still felt a little unreal.

"Teacher Zhong, thank you, if it weren't for your guidance, I would definitely not have passed this assessment, Teacher Zhong, when I stood on it, I finally understood what you said to me before, and now I, I have figured it all out. ”

"Tie Shan, what do you understand, tell us?" Feng Yuerong said curiously.

Tie Shan smiled honestly and said, "I know that my qualifications are dull, so Mr. Zhong told me about the foolish way, and when I stood on it just now, I finally figured out what is the foolish way." ”

Feng Yuerong wondered, "What is a foolish way?"

Zhong Yuan said with a smile: "Everyone's talent is different, some people are very talented, but some people are a little ordinary, those who have great achievements, many of them are extremely talented people, but this can't just be said, people with ordinary talents can't have great achievements." Everyone's talents are different, and the methods of cultivation are also different.

For example, Rong'er and Chu Feng's talents are extremely high, so your cultivation is a normal cultivation method, and you will be able to realize the Dao in the future, and you may also enter the Holy Dao, but if Tie Shan is like you, and cultivates in the same way as you, it will definitely be far inferior to yours, so Tie Shan wants to be like you in the future, and wants to enter the Holy Dao, for example, through other methods, that is, the Foolish Dao of Enlightenment.

Foolishness is not to say that it is stupid, foolishness, it is also a kind of wisdom, great wisdom if foolish, great ingenuity if clumsy, these are foolish ways, people who can understand foolish ways, that is a kind of great wisdom, future achievements, even higher than those who are extremely talented, throughout the ages, many sages and people, many are also through the understanding of the foolish way, so as to achieve the body of sages. ”

After Zhong Yuan's explanation, everyone also understood. There are many ways to achieve enlightenment, and the Tao is also ever-changing. The so-called "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things", the Tao is thousands, ninety-nine is one, and one kind of Tao can be understood, then it can lead to other Taos.

Now that the assessment has ended, there are a total of fifteen people who have passed, and this is also the most students recruited by the Daoist Academy over the years, such a result is what Zhong Yuan and Dongfang Mo are most willing to see, the Daoist Academy will not only be saved, but in the future, these fifteen people will also make the Daoist Academy more brilliant.

After the assessment, those who did not pass can only be disappointed, and those who pass will start a new preparation and enter the Taoist Academy to study, which is a little different from what they learned before, and at this time, it is the time to really learn advanced Taoism, and the previous year is just laying the foundation.

In order to celebrate being admitted to the Daoist Academy, Feng Yuerong is ready to treat herself, and she wants to celebrate well, in the Holy Academy, the people with the best relationships are Chu Feng, Tie Shan, and Luo Yu.

Although Luo Yu is the eldest prince of Luo Kingdom, he does not look like a great prince here, just like an ordinary student, and he is also very righteous, which makes people feel very kind, so Feng Yuerong and the three of them also have a very good impression of Luo Yu, and they also regard Luo Yu as their best friend.

The four of them came to the Drunken Immortal Building, asked for the best private room, and drank happily. When he was having fun, he heard someone knocking on the door, and after Chu Feng opened the door, he found Ji Yifan, Xia Xinglan and Leng Xin standing outside the door.

"Why are you?" asked Chu Feng.

Ji Yifan looked inside, smiled very friendly and said, "We heard that you are also drinking here, so we came over to toast to you." ”

After seeing the comer, Feng Yuerong didn't have a good face, got up and walked outside the door, and said, "What are you doing here?"

Seeing Feng Yuerong, Ji Yifan smiled even more happily: "Miss Feng, we are here to toast you." ”

"Oh, toast, why are you toasting us?" asked Feng Yuerong.

Ji Yifan said with a smile: "I heard that you have all passed the assessment of the Dao Academy, which is really amazing, and now, the entire Holy Academy has spread, especially this Brother Tieshan, who has become a legend of the Holy Academy, and everyone is talking about you." ”

Tie Shan scratched his head very unconsciously and said with a smile: "Everyone says what I do, I'm far less powerful than you." ”

Ji Yifan smiled heartily: "Brother Tieshan, you can pass the assessment of the Daoist Academy, this is something that surprises everyone, so now, many people are talking about you." ”

"Alas, the assessment standards of the Taoist Academy are really getting more and more incomprehensible, and now, what kind of people are really entering?"

Feng Yuerong said sharply: "Xia Xinglan, what do you mean, if you have the ability, you will also go to the Daoist Academy?"

Xia Xinglan said disdainfully: "This king has no interest in the Taoist Academy at all, so this king won't take the exam." ”

"Hahaha, I don't think you dare to take the test, you don't dare to go for fear of losing your talent. ”

Feng Yuerong directly pierced Xia Xinglan's words, Xia Xinglan suddenly felt very embarrassed, her face was slightly red, and she said angrily: "Feng Yuerong, you'd better pay attention to what you say!"

"Okay, let's not say a word. Ji Yifan scolded Xia Xinglan, Xia Xinglan also glanced at Feng Yuerong, and she didn't speak, although Xia Xinglan was a little prince, but in front of Ji Yifan, she was still a little weak. As the Ji family of the three ancient families, even the royal family has to give in to the three of them, and now, his father is courting the Ji family again, so Xia Xinglan does not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Ji Yifan.

Ji Yifan said with a smile: "Everyone, we came here this time to make amends to you. ”

Feng Yuerong chuckled, "Oh, that's strange, why do you want to make amends to us?"

Ji Yifan looked back at Xia Xinglan and Leng Xin, and said: "Before, these two friends of mine offended you a lot, I came here with my two friends this time to make amends to you, and I think you can forget the previous unpleasantness, and in the future, everyone can get along as friends." ”

After Ji Yifan explained his intentions, Feng Yuerong and the others also felt incredible and looked at each other.

Then, Luo Yu got up and said: "Since Ji Gongzi is here to make friends, this is a good thing, multiple friends have multiple roads, I also like to make friends very much." ”

Luo Yu expressed a warm welcome to Ji Yifan and the three of them, but the remaining three people were not so enthusiastic, and even had some rejection.

Feng Yuerong felt that these three people were a little unkind, and then said: "Master Ji, if you want to be friends with us, we will naturally welcome you, but these two, I think it's better to forget it, I don't want to be suddenly framed at any time." ”

"Feng Yuerong, what do you mean by this, do you still think that Miss Ben will frame you behind your back?" Leng Xin said angrily.

Feng Yuerong laughed and said, "Aren't there fewer unsightly things you do behind your back?"

"You!" Leng Xin snorted angrily, not caring about Feng Yuerong.

The scene was a little embarrassing, now except for Luo Yu, Feng Yuerong, Chu Feng and Tie Shan did not welcome them, although Ji Yifan was very enthusiastic and expressed his sincerity, but except for Luo Yu, no one appreciated it, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.

Ji Yifan wanted to go into the house to have a glass of wine, but was also rejected by Feng Yuerong, and in desperation, Ji Yifan and the three had to return in embarrassment.
