Chapter 535: New Friend Gongsun Hong
Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
This is the fifth time that Gongsun Hong has come to challenge the apprenticeship trial, in fact, don't look at his delicate skin, in fact, he is already fifty-two years old!
His family's practice is special, and it has the miraculous effect of delaying aging, plus he has already stepped into the innate realm and has a lifespan of two hundred, so he is still young.
It's just that this Yunshan Temple's apprenticeship trial restricts the age of no more than sixty years old to the Innate Realm monks to participate, if Gongsun Hong can't reach the top this time, he will have no chance with Yunshan Temple in the future.
Hearing Gongsun Hong's words, Zhen Yinjian nodded again and again, which was consistent with the requirements of the Donghua Imperial Sect. In fact, if there is no limit on youth, there will only be more and more people from these sects participating in the entry selection, and the aged and unpromising people will come like carp crossing the river, which is also very troublesome for the Immortal Dao sect.
Those who are too old to pass the challenge have average potential, even if they are in the income gate. Even if cultivation is mostly a waste of the sect's resources!
Gongsun Hong is very talkative, Zhen Yinjian chatted with him a lot along the way, Zhen Yinjian said very vague information about himself, and Gongsun Hong did not doubt him when he talked about Xingzhengnong. So the two of them followed the long queue little by little, and soon reached the front of the line.
In front of the mountain road, there is an old monk in a brown monk's robe standing next to the mountain road, there is a large water tank next to him, and the water tank is full of yellow talismans. Every time a man came up to him, he handed him a yellow talisman and said:
"Amitabha, if the donor is unwell, he can protect himself by pinching the amulet. ”
Zhen Yin looked at the old monk and the water tank beside him for a long time.
"This is a talisman for the trial of accepting disciples, and the monks have the virtue of a good life, and even the trial will not hurt people's lives. If you find it difficult to continue in the middle of the walk, you can pinch this talisman and move it to the foot of the mountain. ”
Seeing that Zhen Yinjian was curious about this, Gongsun Hong immediately explained.
Zhen Yinjian nodded, and the two walked to the front of the mountain road with the team, took the yellow talisman and continued to march.
Zhen Yinjian pinched this yellow talisman and sensed it slightly, and at this time he could feel one of the strange powers. Obviously, there is a power of teleportation hidden in this yellow talisman, which is enough to keep the bearer safe.
This was an eye-opener for Zhen Yinjian, he had never seen anyone use such a thing in Donghua Palace, obviously this is also a "specialty" of the Southern Buddha Land!
Looking at the flashing in front of me, the mountain road winds around the mountains, like a long dragon, stretching and rugged and it doesn't look easy to walk. The trail was full of potholes and gravel, which was obviously an extra training for those who participated in the trial.
Looking forward along the mountain road, there were many people moving forward, Zhen Yinjian followed behind Gongsun Hong, only to see countless backs moving like ants.
"Don't you need a scepter, the mountain path is so steep that even an Innate Realm cultivator can't bear it. Gongsun Hong asked kindly. In his eyes, although he couldn't see Zhen Yinjian's strength, he expected that the other party's cultivation was not very profound. Seeing that he didn't even have a scepter in his hand, he was a little worried about him.
The mountain is thousands of feet high, how can it be idle, but if there is a bump on the road and is not steady, it will immediately fall down the mountain. Although he was protected from injury and death by the amulet, he also lost this precious opportunity for trial.
"It's okay, I don't need it. Zhen Yinjian waved his hand and smiled. He could see the other party's good intentions, but it was really difficult to expose his strength.
If these monks knew that there was a big man in the God Casting Realm who had joined their apprenticeship trial, they would probably jump up in shock.
Seeing that Zhen Yinjian insisted on refusing, Gongsun Hong was helpless. He thought in his heart that he could help Zhen Yinjian some, if he encountered Zhen Yinjian's danger, he would just take a hand. Anyway, along the way, he talked to Zhen Yinjian, and he was willing to help.
Looking at Gongsun Hong looking back at him from time to time and the concerned gaze in his eyes, of course he knew that this was the other party's kindness, and he had a lot more affection for this white and tender monk in his heart.
Walking all the way up the mountain, I don't know how many zhang I have traveled. Even though these monks who participated in the apprenticeship trial all had the strength of the innate realm, they were still a little reluctant under the challenge of this thousand-zhang peak. From time to time, a contestant stumbles, falls or rolls backwards, and usually at this time, the yellow charm on his body will automatically operate and emit orange-yellow light. The light enveloped the uncontrollable man, and their figures quickly disappeared on the mountain path.
This naturally means that these contestants are eliminated!
The apprentice trial is such a competition, and it is a competition to see who has good physical fitness and strong physical fitness. And Zhen Yinjian found that it seems that this mountain climbing trial test is more of the monk's body. In other words, if it is a physical practice, it will occupy the upper points. In fact, the vast majority of these contestants are physical cultivators who cultivate the way of the flesh!
"I see!" Zhen Yinjian sighed in his heart, he finally understood that this Yunshan Temple turned out to be a sect that attached importance to physical cultivation.
Come to think of it, in the Donghua Imperial Palace, Dharma cultivation has always been the mainstream, and there are fewer physical cultivators, even the exercises of physical cultivation are very rare, and there are naturally not many people who cultivate.
And judging from this Yunshan Temple, physical cultivation may even be the mainstream cultivation method of the Southern Buddha Land.
Continuing to walk up the mountain road, Zhen Yinjian immediately saw that many contestants had escaped, and at this time it was close to the middle of the Qianzhang Peak, and Zhen Yinjian also felt that Gongsun Hong's body trembled slightly.
"It's here again, and it's starting to get a little strained. Gongsun Hong said silently in his heart.
He has climbed this peak four times, and each time he just can't hold it halfway. The previous four highest results were also eliminated at the peak of 400 zhang. After ten years of penance, he thought that his strength had increased enough to complete the climb of this thousand-foot peak, but now he found that he was too naïve!
He had already spent most of his physical strength, but he had only reached a distance of five hundred zhang, and he was still half a distance from the peak of this thousand zhang cloud mountain.
The body has gradually felt soreness and weakness, and even the feet have been a little numb, which is a sign of physical exhaustion. Gongsun Hong glanced back at Zhen Yinjian, and found that this new friend seemed to be at ease, without showing any tiredness, which shocked him.
"I also wanted to help others, but they were much better than me. Gongsun Hong showed a wry smile on his face, buried his head and continued to climb up the mountain road.
"You can't let your new friends look down!" this is Gongsun Hong's thought at this time.
When he saw Gongsun Hong's body perking up again and continuing to climb, Zhen Yinjian nodded. The son of this family is more tenacious than he believes, which is about personality.
Of course, no matter what, he will continue to climb up. After all, this is just a thousand-foot mountain road, and for him, it is really not worth mentioning. If it weren't for the justifiable entry into Yunshan Temple, he would have given up this apprenticeship trial a long time ago!
