"Why?"

Ning Haoran's calm face showed no mockery, shook his head, and said: "Because I am the fourth senior brother of the palace, because I am your guide, and because the process of climbing the mountain is also part of the assessment of the mountain worship of the palace, I am much stronger than you." ”

The young man, including many people, didn't expect Ning Haoran to say this, and for a while, he wailed, the young man's eyes were red, and he said angrily: "Senior Brother Ning, this is very unfair!"

Ning Haoran looked at the young man with a little sadness, and said: "What kind of fairness do you want? How can there be absolute fairness in the world, and this matter couldn't be fairer in my opinion, your will is not strong enough, many people perform better than you, why should I let all of you pass, isn't this also an unfairness for those who perform better?"

Looking at the young man who was still angry, Ning Haoran said in a deep voice: "The assessment items are decided by the dean, since you have come to worship the mountain, you should know something about leaving the palace, how dare you question the dean's decision?"

You should know that the dean is the number one sword cultivator in the entire Jiang country, and no matter what he does, he has his reasons. It's just that you think it's unfair, and if you're not as good as others, you have to leave obediently, and shouting meaninglessly won't make you look up to you, which is a very stupid behavior. ”

Li Mengzhou was originally just looking at the white clouds on the mountain very calmly, like a pure spectator, but Ning Haoran's words surprised him a little.

He began to really look at this Fourth Senior Brother Ning who had left the palace.

Ning Haoran's gaze seemed to be very soft, a kind of softness that should not have appeared on a sword cultivator.

Maybe Jian Xiu's behavior can't be completely sealed in a certain impression, Jian Xiu himself is also a human being, and if he is a human being, he will have countless thoughts and actions, as long as the Dao heart is still strong, then no matter what he does, it is correct.

Moreover, Li Mengzhou also felt that this farce was very exaggerated.

Questioning the results of the assessment is originally a very naïve behavior, even if many people do not know in advance that the process of mountaineering is also part of the assessment, but in Li Mengzhou's view, since leaving the south gate of Langya and entering the mountain gate of the palace, the assessment has been ubiquitous.

Maybe because he is not in the group of people who were eliminated, so he can stand and talk without backache, just imagine if it was Li Mengzhou who was driven away at the moment, maybe his reaction would be more intense.

He will certainly not be convinced.

So he didn't pay attention to what was happening now, anyway, everything had nothing to do with him.

This is a matter that has already been decided, and the result will not be changed because some people oppose it, so nearly half of the 100 teenagers who climbed the mountain went at once.

Ning Haoran glanced at the remaining candidates with a calm gaze, and said softly: "Although you stay here for the time being, don't be complacent, maybe you will go down the mountain soon." The Imperial Palace only recruits the most talented people, so you are all competitors to each other.

Don't be discouraged if your cultivation is not as good as others, you can still defeat your opponent in other ways, and the current stage of cultivation is not an absolute advantage. Now you are each visualizing the aura of heaven and earth, which is a matter of your understanding and is linked to your spiritual qualifications. ”

Zheng Qian shook the folding fan, bowed slightly to Ning Haoran respectfully, and said: "Senior Brother Ning, of course, the most important thing for cultivators is to have qualifications and cultivation, if only the best, it should be those of us who have entered the Amaterasu stage, so why bother to test it in one more move." ”

Zheng Qian's words caused a lot of dissatisfaction, after all, only a few people entered the Amaterasu stage, so most people would be eliminated, if so, why should they come to climb the mountain.

Ning Haoran looked at Zheng Qian, who was full of confidence and arrogant, smiled slightly, and said: "I said, if you are not as good as a person in cultivation, you can also defeat your opponent from another aspect, not just look at who has gone further at present, the entry test is indeed not so important, because the last person to enter the mountain still depends on the decision of the dean, even if you perform well in the test, as long as the dean does not agree, you still can't enter the palace."

You may be skeptical, but needless to say, the Dean is interested in a person's future achievements, not just the present. ”

Zheng Qian didn't seem to agree with Ning Haoran's words, although he knew that it was a bad thing to continue to question, but he still couldn't help but speak: "Who can know what will happen in the future? ”

Ning Haoran didn't get angry because of Zheng Qian's words, but laughed softly: "What you said also has some truth, if you don't see it with your own eyes, how can you feel at ease? But after all, this is just your own thoughts, and maybe the thoughts of many of you." There will be different thoughts at every stage of life, and in the palace, the dean's thoughts are the most important, if you are dissatisfied, you can leave on your own, if not, just do what I say. ”

Zheng Qian's fists were clenched tightly, and he didn't say anything after all, he didn't want to offend Ning Haoran, in the final analysis, he was confident that he could stand out and become a member of the palace, so the way of testing was not very important to him.

He just thought it was a hassle to do so.

Zheng Qian's cold gaze looked at Li Mengzhou, revealing a mocking smile.

Li Mengzhou didn't look at him, but when he heard Ning Haoran say that he wanted to visualize the aura of heaven and earth, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, because he couldn't visualize the aura of heaven and earth at all.

Shen Jiyue stood beside Li Mengzhou, her beautiful eyes were raised lightly, she looked at him seriously, and whispered: "That Zheng Qian is a very annoying guy, whether you can be admitted to the palace or not, you have to be careful of him." ”

Li Mengzhou glanced at Shen Jiyue curiously, nodded silently, and didn't say anything.

Only the remaining more than 30 candidates sat cross-legged in front of the stone monument.

Ning Haoran was standing at the level of the stone tablet, he put his hands behind his back, and said softly: "The visualization stage in cultivation is a very simple thing, because it is just a thought, everyone has at least hundreds or thousands of thoughts popping up every day, and only a small number of them can visualize the aura that exists between heaven and earth in this initial thought.

Observing this piece of heaven and earth and understanding the thoughts in it is nothing more than perceiving the existence of the aura of heaven and earth, so as to imagine what the aura of heaven and earth looks like. The aura between heaven and earth naturally has no specific appearance, but it can be seen, and according to each person's different visualizations, the aura of heaven and earth seen is also different.

Perceiving the aura of heaven and earth, and thus being able to use it simply, is the first stage in the initial realm of cultivation. Many people with excellent qualifications are directly baptized by Amaterasu while visualizing the aura of heaven and earth, crossing the second stage in the primordial realm. Although there are not a few such people, they still belong to very few people in the endless history.

This is just a means of expression, and it does not mean that those who visualize the aura of heaven and earth early but cannot be baptized by Amaterasu for several years are not qualified, and the merits of their cultivation qualifications are mainly reflected in the breadth of the sea of qi they see, not in the visualization of the aura of heaven and earth.

And only those who have passed the age of confusion, but still cannot be baptized by Amaterasu, are truly poor in their cultivation qualifications. You have come from the world, and you have also walked on the rivers and lakes, and you have probably seen those arithmetic masters or florists who have been kept in captivity, all of whom belong to this group of people.

There is no special way to enter the visualization, but you need to empty your mind, and then find a certain thought, magnify that thought, and logically you can visualize the aura of heaven and earth, the length of time is very different for everyone, and the earlier it is, of course, also means that the cultivation qualification will not be too bad. ”

Listening to Ning Haoran's every word, Li Mengzhou put aside his distracting thoughts and began to visualize the aura of heaven and earth for I don't know how many times in his life, compared to before, this was the first time he visualized in the true sense, and his nervousness also disappeared without a trace after his brain was emptied.

Although the visualization seems simple, Li Mengzhou wants to say that it is really not simple at all.

Shen Jiyue, who had already crossed the visualization and entered the Amaterasu stage, was the first person to finish the visualization, she stood in front of the stone tablet and nodded slightly towards Ning Haoran.

With a soft smile on his face, Ning Haoran said softly, "It seems that you have already visualized something. ”

Of course, visualization is not the goal, the key is still on the stone tablet.

Except for Li Mengzhou, who didn't know if he had touched the stele by mistake, no one present noticed the problem with the stele when he didn't enter the meditation.

Zheng Qian and Zhou Luo woke up in the visualization one after another, they looked at each other silently, and also thought of some problems, Li Mengzhou's sudden approach to the stone tablet was a little weird, and Zhou Luo himself also found something, so he greeted Li Mengzhou, which led to Xin Ming's provocation and almost conflict.

Now after contemplating the stele, he couldn't help but wonder if Li Mengzhou had already discovered the mystery of the stele at that time.

Zheng Qian's face was a little gloomy, and he looked back at Li Mengzhou's still closed eyes, and sneered.

Then He Zhengrong also ended in the visualization and walked to the side silently.

Ning Haoran just glanced at him, and then continued to smile at the person who was still meditating on his knees.

After Xin Ming opened his eyes and another person finished his meditation, for a long time, the mountain path fell into a deathly silence.

As the blood-colored sunset descended at dusk, everyone woke up in their visualization one after another, and except for some people, many candidates were a little confused.

They just followed Ning Haoran's words and entered the visualization, but they didn't know what exactly they wanted to visualize.

Ning Haoran also smiled softly at them very dryly, and said, "You can go down the mountain." ”

Li Mengzhou is the only one left in the meditation.

Sitting on the mountain road, lonely and a little pitiful.

Ning Haoran was not in a hurry, and still looked at it indifferently.

But he is not in a hurry, but someone is in a hurry, Zheng Qian looked at the sky, slapped his palm with a folding fan very impatiently, and said: "This time it is dark, when will it be, it is a waste of time to go down the mountain obediently without that ability." ”

Zhou Luo frowned, according to his guess, Li Mengzhou should have discovered the problem of the stele early, why did he not wake up for a long time in this visualization?

He is not Li Mengzhou, of course he doesn't know the problems that Li Mengzhou encountered at this time, and there is no way to enter the visualization, so let alone wake up.

Li Mengzhou noticed those who were ordered by Ning Haoran to drive down the mountain, and immediately understood that this visualization test was definitely not just as simple as simple visualization, he could think that it might have something to do with the stone stele, but he couldn't visualize the aura of heaven and earth, even if he pointed out the problem with the stone stele, it would definitely be contrary to the purpose of this test.

Visualization is not the goal, nor is it the goal to point out the problem of the stele, the key is to see the problem of the stele in the visualization.

In addition to Zheng Qian, Xin Ming is the most unpleasant person to look at Li Mengzhou, and he is naturally indispensable to the matter of falling into the well, he deliberately sneered, and then said with a mocking face: "I thought it was a big garlic, but I didn't expect it to be useless, just a visualization, just spend so much time, it won't be that you can't visualize the aura of heaven and earth at all." ”

This is just Xin Ming's sarcastic words, but it is the most sincere truth.

Shen Jiyue didn't believe that Li Mengzhou would be a person who couldn't even visualize the aura of heaven and earth, although there was no specific consideration for the length of time to visualize the aura of heaven and earth, but it would all appear on the person who meditated for the first time, since he was going to worship the palace, he was naturally a person who had entered the visualization stage, and only a few people who dreamed of becoming a cultivator by luck would come to climb the mountain when they failed to enter the meditation.

However, these people were eliminated early, after all, those so-called demonic beings are still a minority in the world, not that those people can enter the visualization at the age of fifteen, but all those who have not yet entered the visualization can.

Lu Jiuge and Nan Sheng have been standing on the canyon for a long time.

They were also looking forward to seeing who could be admitted to the palace, and Nan Sheng's focus had already shifted his focus when he found out that Li Mengzhou was also among the mountaineers.

Although it was because of the previous bad impression that Nan Sheng always looked at Li Mengzhou with colored eyes, but now that Li Mengzhou has not been able to wake up from the visualization for a long time, it is because of the girl's natural sympathy, she feels that Li Mengzhou is a little pitiful at this moment.

In her opinion, Li Mengzhou's choice to be admitted to the palace was a humiliation, and she couldn't imagine what Li Mengzhou was thinking.

Obviously a person who has not even entered into visualization, why should he hold on, for the sake of that poor self-esteem?

Lu Jiuge's gaze fell on Li Mengzhou's body.

Looking at this young man with a calm face and a light wind, her eyes also showed a strange luster.

"He looks like he is over fifteen years old, and he has a sense of maturity that surpasses that of his peers, although it is recorded in the Daozang that there have been people in history who entered the visualization at the age of the weak crown, but in the endless years of the past, at least this person has been recorded.

Li Mengzhou has passed the age of fifteen, and it stands to reason that it is impossible for him to enter the meditation again, but there are exceptions to this matter after all. His perseverance is amazing, he knows that it is impossible but still does not choose to give up, at least this attitude is respectable, maybe it is precisely because of this that Senior Brother Ning did not stop. ”

There are too many legends recorded in the Daozang, most of those people are in the quiet places of mountains and seas, many of them are already the pinnacle of the world, and many people have already fallen in the long river of history.

Although there are many young and strong people in today's cultivation world who have risen to the top one by one, in fact, compared to the previous era, today's cultivation world is not a prosperous era.

Mo said that now, in the last era, those demonic generations in the past are rarely seen, basically there will only be one in decades or even hundreds of years, and today's cultivation world has slowly developed in a better direction, and more and more demonic generations are showing their demeanor, but basically there are only a few.

Jiang Guo's Shen Qiubai, Beizangfeng, Ouyang Shengxue first-class, Yan State's Snow Night Prince, Xiao Zhinan's first-class, Wei State's Su Bieli, Western Jin Dynasty's Xu Beihan, Nanyu's Nine Emperor Princes, etc., seem to be able to call out a lot of names in the world, but how big the world is, don't say ordinary people, just people who embark on the road of cultivation don't know how many, although there is a demon girl born with a sword heart in the Western Jin Dynasty, but there are only a few young demons among hundreds of millions of people, how can they be called more?

If Li Mengzhou enters the visualization at this age, although he can't compete with these demons, he is at least qualified to compete with them, so whether it is Lu Jiuge or Ning Haoran, they are looking forward to seeing Li Mengzhou's performance, after all, if he really succeeds, there will inevitably be one more person in the future Daozang records.

But in fact, they don't have much hope, and such a thing seems a bit fantastical after all.

Li Mengzhou didn't know how others felt, or expectation, or ridicule, or watching the play, but his feelings at the moment were a little uncomfortable.

Contemplating for too long had caused his mind to be overwhelmed and his headaches were splitting, and then no matter what he did, he still couldn't visualize the aura of heaven and earth.

He didn't know what was wrong.

Obviously, Mr. Wu told him that he had a sea of qi, but why couldn't he enter the meditation?

What is the difference between one's own qi and other people's qi sea?

Even now, Li Mengzhou has never thought of giving up, even if he has a mental breakdown, he must visualize the aura of heaven and earth.

This is an attitude, and it also stems from the stubbornness hidden in his heart, he cannot tolerate failure, and if he is doomed to failure, he would prefer to die here.

Li Mengzhou felt great anger, and his unwillingness was the only portrayal of his heart.

At this time, it is easy to have emotional problems, he is trying his best to control his emotions, if a person is swayed by emotions, then this person is undoubtedly a waste.

He, Li Mengzhou, is never willing to be a waste.

If you want to act against the sky, you must be prepared to face all the consequences, and there seem to be some ripples in his empty sea of consciousness.

A vague figure appeared in the depths of his memory, and he almost couldn't remember what the man looked like, but that person was undoubtedly his closest person in the world.

That person seemed to have done something to him, but Li Mengzhou racked his brains and couldn't recall it, but he felt that this might be the key to his inability to enter the visualization.
