Chapter 33: The Test
A day later, in an unknown mountain somewhere in Donglai County, three figures walked through the mountains and forests.
These three people are Ding Mu, Wan Qi and the innkeeper.
Due to the lush mountains and forests, it is not easy to ride horses, so the three of them came on foot.
The little guy's name is Si Haochen, and he is only eighteen years old, he is an outer disciple of the Qingguang Sect, and he has just arrived, and it is the first year of miscellaneous service.
The outer disciples of the Qingguang Sect have many categories, and if they just enter and do not meet the entry standards, they will have a one-year opportunity to work in the sect. If you don't reach the fourth level of martial arts within a year, then you have to leave the sect and go out to other places, and you can only hang the title of outer gate.
If you enter the fourth layer of martial arts before the age of twenty, the outer disciples can return to the sect and become inner disciples.
For example, Na Wan Jin is a disciple of the outer sect of the Killing Dao Sect, and the situation is similar.
"Lu Bu, it's unfortunate that you came at the right time, there aren't even many miscellaneous positions in the door, only the trial path and the financial statistics are left, and there is a shortage of manpower each, which one do you choose, I can also recommend it to the elders." ”
Wan Qi has a good impression of Ding Mu, she thinks this baby has a sweet mouth.
Ding Mu said: "Sister Wan Qi, what do you do in each of these two positions?"
"Don't call me Sister Wanqi, in the future, you can call me Senior Sister in the door. This financial statistics is to assist the financial elders to distribute the items of the statistical category, and is responsible for distributing the benefits of the disciples every month, such as pills, etc., which is relatively easy, but there are a lot of trivial matters. As for the trial path, it is responsible for repairing the mechanisms, puppets, tools, etc. in the trial path, which is more difficult, but it is better because it does not need to be repaired constantly, and it can free up time for cultivation. The two positions have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is up to you to choose. ”
"Then Senior Sister, can you tell me what this trial path is?"
"By the way, I haven't told you this yet, this trial path is a disciple strength test channel created by some powerful seniors in the sect, and some of the organs are also set up with some steel puppets, which are driven by the organs, and the disciples can go to it at any time to pass the level and cultivate. Powerful disciples may break some puppets in the process, so someone will be responsible for repairing them. ”
Ding Mu thought about it, this is good, the disciples go to cultivate, they can't be observed, so it will definitely be of great benefit to their second progress bar, thinking of this, Ding Mu no longer hesitated.
"Senior sister, then I'll go to the trial Dao, and then I can learn more from the senior brothers. ”
Ding Mu's answer made Wan Qi very satisfied, and he smiled at the moment: "It seems that you are still a little self-motivated, you are only fourteen years old, you have the foundation of the third layer of martial arts, if you enter the fourth layer within a year, then you will have a great future, I will take you directly to the seventh elder of the trial path." ”
After another half an hour, a ravine lay in front of the three of them, and there was no way ahead. Below this canyon is a rock wall twenty or thirty zhang high, opposite is a mountain, and in the middle is a steel cable as thick as an arm's arm.
"The mountain gate is on the opposite mountain, to get to the mountain gate, you have to cross this steel cable, no problem, right?"
Ding Mu walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, although he was a martial artist, he was still a little stunned.
"Senior sister, this, you have to go over by yourself?"
Ding Mu asked like this, but Si Haochen next to him covered his mouth and laughed.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Lu, don't be shy, I just arrived at this time, and I looked like this. Do you want Senior Brother to take the lead and strengthen your courage?"
Ding Mu's face showed embarrassment, to be honest, in the realm of a martial artist, the tiger also has this power, but there is no light skill, if you want to take off with strength, you can leap a few feet with a click, that is the ability that only the Gathering Force Realm has.
"There's no other way up the mountain?"
Wan Qi and Si Haochen shook their heads at the same time.
"This is the test of the sect, you look at the other side, there are two senior brothers watching, you can only rely on your own ability to pass. You can rely on wisdom, you can rely on strength, or you can rely on luck to pass, as long as you don't die, plus the recommendation of the official disciples in the sect, you can be regarded as truly entering the sect. ”
Ding Mu was really speechless, this iron cable was connected to a boulder platform opposite, and it was 100 meters long at a glance, and he was scared to death.
It's okay to crawl over directly upside down, but in that way, in front of a beautiful woman, it's too embarrassing.
If it's a real fourteen-year-old soul, it doesn't matter, but I have been a human being in two lifetimes combined, and I'm over forty years old!
At this moment, another figure appeared on the opposite side, and I didn't see that this person had too many movements, and with a vertical leap, he got on the iron cable, stood firmly, and began to stride over, and in a blink of an eye, he turned over and fell on this side.
Ding Mu sighed in his heart, this person is really chic, and when he looked at this person again, he saw that this person was handsome, with slanted sword eyebrows and a straight nose, he only glanced at Ding Mu slightly, then turned to Wan Qi and said, "Yo, Senior Sister Wan brought someone here, what do you need help with?"
Listening to this person's words, it is like a spring breeze, and he is only in his twenties, so he has this strength.
Wan Qi hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Senior Brother Liang, no need, my distant brother has always been smart, he will have a way." ”
This Senior Brother Liang turned his head and glanced at Ding Mu, and stood behind Wan Qi without saying a word, looking like watching a play.
Ding Mu saw some impatience with this person on Wan Qi's face, and Ding Mu realized in an instant.
"It seems that this Senior Brother Liang is pursuing Senior Sister, and it is estimated that Senior Sister doesn't like this person very much, so she can't embarrass Senior Sister. ”
Thinking about it, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and I remembered that those tightrope walkers in that world had to hold a long stick, and that was to maintain balance.
"I have the strength of a martial artist, and I always have a better sense of balance than a tightrope walker, so it's better to give it a try. Anyway, it's a misstep, and I'm sure I can grab the iron cable, and when the time comes, it's a big deal to climb over, but it's just a little embarrassed, but the momentum is not lost. ”
Thinking of this, Ding Mu turned his heart sideways, turned around and ran to the side of the mountain, chose a straight tree, drew his sword and slashed it.
This move stunned the other three.
"Hey, Senior Brother Lu, what are you doing here?" Si Haochen called out directly.
Ding Mu ignored it, and Senior Brother Liang said: "Haha, this little junior brother is interesting, I guess I was scared, cut down the tree, and vented my emotions." ”
Wan Qi's face turned red, he didn't want Ding Mu to be a coward, when he first entered the mountain gate, he didn't hang upside down and climb over, he was good, he didn't even dare to do this.
"Senior Sister Wan rest assured, since he is Senior Sister Wan's younger brother, Senior Brother will help him over. ”
Wan Qi's tears were about to come out of his eyes at this moment, and he really wanted to slap Ding Mu back to his soul.
But it was at this embarrassing moment that Ding Mu stopped, thrust his sword into his waist, carried a small tree two or three feet long, and strode over.
When everyone was stunned by his strange behavior, Ding Mu had already put the trunk horizontally, chose a good balance point, turned back to Wan Qi and said, "Senior sister, don't worry, junior brother won't embarrass you!"
After speaking, he turned his head to gather his mind, and slowly walked towards the opposite side step by step.
Walking to the middle, there were exclamations on both sides, with Si Haochen in the back and a man and a woman opposite.
The two men discussed.
"It's the first time I've seen it in this way, but it's really safe, it's the most stable I've ever seen among the disciples who have just entered the sect. ”
Ding Mu felt a burst of pride in his heart, but he didn't stop at his feet.
The man on the other side said, "Could it be that this person was juggling before, and he can still walk so steadily with such a long wooden stick?"
When Ding Mu heard this, he couldn't help but stumble under his feet.
"Ahh
Exclamations came from both sides, but Ding Mu had already walked out of his experience, and his body shook for a while, and he continued to move forward.
After walking the tightrope, Ding Mu stood firmly on the opposite side and beckoned to this side.
Wan Qi was overjoyed, jumped on the iron rope, and ran over.
Senior Brother Liang is still chic, but his face is not good-looking.
This time, Si Haochen was in trouble, but he had no choice, so he walked awkwardly to the iron cable, leaned down, grabbed the iron cable, and climbed over step by step while hanging upside down.
When Si Haochen also arrived on the opposite side and the group walked up the mountain, Ding Mu clearly saw a ruthless look in Senior Brother Liang's eyes.
"If this person pretends to be courteous and deceitful, I am afraid that he will offend the individual. Ding Mu secretly thought in his heart.
