Chapter 110: Mountaineering
Southwest Shu, in a general sense, should be called Shu here.
Shu was remote, and in the early years, it was poor, and all the princes looked down on it, but they only sealed the town guard general Li. In the era of Taikang's loss of the country, the guards here took the opportunity to cede the land and claim the throne and establish the Shu Kingdom.
In order to prove the legitimacy of being the king, the Li family once intended to find the root and show that his ancestor was also the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, but unfortunately not to mention other countries, even the Li clan in other places did not accept it, and over time, they gave up.
As early as when the Great Han Dynasty was first established, Shu was still only a country, but because the bloodline of the kings in various places was not orthodox enough, and there was no deterrent power like the Shenjiang family, there were constantly people in the jurisdiction of the land who disobeyed the dispatch of the King of Shu, and at most there were eighteen anti-kings.
Seeing that Shu was about to be in chaos, the Shushan Sword Sect intervened in reconciliation and finally reached an agreement, and the Eighteen Anti-Kings went their own way, but they could only call themselves dukes, and in name of the outside world, they still respected the King of Shu.
Since then, the interior of the southwest has called itself Shu, and the outside world has been called Shu.
Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the traditional festival of the Eastern Wilderness, celebrated all over the world, and the Shushan Sword School was even more lively. Every five years, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the day to accept apprentices here.
There was a sea of people, tens of thousands, like a tide, surging towards the direction of the Shushan Sword Sect Mountain Gate.
Qin Shaofu was also among them, and the red dates lived in the inn where he stayed, and he was the only one.
originally thought that the Shushan Sword Sect was also a larger sect, but after entering the mountain gate with the flow of people, he found that this was not the case.
From the outside, there is a stone staircase leading to the high in the mountain gate, there is a small square in front of the stone staircase, and when you get closer, you find that the square is more than ten times larger than the outside view, and nearly 100,000 people come in and actually stand down.
And the stone staircase is even more amazing, more than 200 meters wide, as if rushing into the sky, no peak.
Magic...... Qin Shaofu was suddenly shocked in his heart, if it was really an illusion, then what kind of cultivation should the caster be, this kind of trick can be called a change of day.
If it wasn't an illusion, wouldn't the rumors be true? Someone once said that the people who became immortals in the world were not only the descendants of Emperor Xuanyuan, but there were people in Shu who became immortals, but I don't know who just left the word sword immortal and became the title of the master of the sword immortal cliff in the past dynasties.
It was just while thinking that I suddenly heard a person shouting: "Close the mountain gate." ”
After drinking, you can see that the direction of the light is thousands, like the means of immortals, the road to come has disappeared, and the mountain gate has turned into a cliff, which makes people frightened.
"It's a real immortal method!"
Some people secretly sighed, Qin Shaofu also felt the same way, I don't know how Langshan is, but this place is indeed called a mystery.
"Hello, everyone!"
I heard a shout again, and when I looked for the sound, a man in green clothes was standing on a cliff on one side, holding a long sword, his black hair was flying, and his eyebrows were handsome, quite like a disciple of the immortal family.
The man in Tsing Yi continued: "Bing the patriarch's legacy, martial arts are passed on to the world, once every five years, those who are capable can worship at the mountain gate." There are a total of five challenges, and the top 10 will be accepted as inner disciples, and the last 100 will be accepted as outer disciples. The first eight people can participate in the subsequent ring competition. ”
"The sword roars, let's go!"
As soon as the words fell, the sword qi raised the long sword in his hand, and with a shake of his hand, a sword qi rushed out and hit the void, and he heard a sword sound, like a horn sounding gold. Nearly 100,000 people rushed towards the stone stairs like a flood.
Qin Shaofu hesitated for a moment and was already behind, and immediately prepared to urge the body method to catch up, but he didn't think about it, but he was stunned, for some reason, the true qi in his body seemed to be solidified, and he couldn't urge it at all, and he couldn't use any exercises, and he became like an ordinary person.
When I was frightened, I saw many people slip under their feet, roll down the stone stairs, and roll down a large area, and then I heard someone scolding: "A group of fools, it's just the first time you come, can't you know more before you come?" When the Shushan Immortal Realm is activated, no one can use the exercises unless they are above the realm of the True Soul. ”
There is still such a mystery...... Qin Shaofu couldn't help but be shocked, if this was the case, it meant that all this in front of him was not an illusion, but a mystical technique, and the legendary sword immortal might also really exist.
After the shock, it was a peace of mind. Among these 100,000 people, although most of them are in the realm of martial soul essence and blood, there are also many martial artists in the realm of forging bones, and there may even be the realm of qi and sea, and their own cultivation may not have an advantage.
But now that you can't use exercises and true qi, it's different. With Zhang Qiyu's more than four years of training, Qin Shaofu is confident that he can beat anyone here. After all, what he has experienced is a training that is even more rigorous than that of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.
Immediately, without thinking too much, he followed the flow of people towards the top of the mountain. He is not in a hurry, climbing the mountain is not an easy thing, if there is no true qi support, the strength consumed every hundred meters is very large, the more difficult it is, and those who are not physically fit enough will naturally be eliminated.
As the stone stairs get higher and higher, the flow of people becomes thinner and thinner, and after reaching more than 2,000 floors, there are no longer crowds of people, and there are only dozens of people in parallel.
Even some young offspring still started to run, their cultivation is not high, but they are physically stronger than some bone forging martial artists, and when they run past some people, they still look back and laugh from time to time, quite proud.
But those elders were not angry, but had a funny face, as if it was not the first time they had come here to worship the mountain, and they knew how powerful this Shushan fairyland was. The mountains here are far higher than they seem, and there is still a long way to go, so the best way to preserve your physical strength is to preserve your strength.
Sure enough, after nearly two thousand steps of progress, the young men who had begun to gallop without stopping all slowed down, panting one by one, and after passing the previous steps, all the climbers had been divided into four steps.
In the first echelon, near the 4,000 steps, there were about 500 people. The second echelon is up and down the 3,000 steps, about 5,000 people, the third ladder is up and down the 2,000 steps, about 10,000 people, and the rest is the last stream, which leads directly to the bottom of the mountain, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
Qin Shaofu was located in the first echelon, not in a hurry or slow, there were more than a hundred people in front of him. He is not in a hurry to be at the forefront, most of the people who accompany him are not good men and women, and I am afraid that they will use extraordinary means once necessary.
Although it is impossible to use the true qi of the exercises, it is not forbidden to bring weapons, especially some people have bulging clothes inside, most of them are middle-aged, I am afraid that they have suffered losses before, and then brought a hidden weapon up, and at a critical time, they will definitely use it.
What's more troublesome is that although I am confident that I will not lose to anyone, I really don't know anything about the five challenges here, and I don't know if there will be something difficult to handle.
It was in the midst of such thoughts that I suddenly heard movement from behind, as if someone was rushing quickly. Those who can climb rapidly at this altitude must have outstanding physical fitness, which attracts many people to look back.
Qin Shaofu also looked back and couldn't help but be stunned.
A young woman in a red dress with a bright face competes with a man to climb a mountain.
And that man turned out to be an acquaintance.
The third son of the Tang family, Tang Changjie.
