It's noon, it should be the time for normal people to eat, although according to common sense, the mountain gate of the palace will arrange to receive the people who bring in the sect, but there is no one at the stone tablet at the mountain gate, it is very abnormal.

There is only a white stone monument on the mountain road.

The stele is simply engraved with two words, leaving the palace.

Not far behind the stele, nearly a hundred teenagers and girls were panting, and then looked at the emptiness in front of them with a stunned expression.

Although the mountain road is not long, they have spent a lot of strength along the way, it seems that the higher they go, the more unbearable the gravity becomes, the steep slope is difficult to move forward, and when they climb to the top, they will naturally feel like their legs are filled with lead, but their feelings are more serious, and many people are directly paralyzed on the ground.

The white-robed young man looked at the stone tablet in front of him, raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and said in confusion: "Why is there no one here to welcome us?"

He turned his head to look at Zhou Luo, a young man in a green robe beside him.

Zhou Luo frowned slightly, looked at those who were either calm, or pretending to be calm, or even those who were unbearable, and said softly: "Maybe there is a reason why the guards let us hike the mountain, and the people who left the palace have no reason to ignore us, there must be other deep meanings in this." ”

Zheng Qian, the young master of the Zheng family from Youzhou, who was shaking the folding fan, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "We are all people who have entered the stage of Amaterasu visualization, and we are all potential forces that are likely to become cultivators, ordinary mountain roads will not be so difficult for us, maybe there are obstacles set by the predecessors of the palace along the way, resulting in an increase in gravity, if my expectations are correct, this process of mountaineering should also be part of the assessment." ”

The youngest He Zhengrong just looked at the temple on the mountain, without saying a word, his eyes were slightly bright, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shen Jiyue should be the best performer among the girls in the same class, she never took a big breath, her face was slightly ruddy, listening to what Zheng Qian said, she pondered for a moment, and said: "There is nothing abnormal in the early part of the mountain, after the middle section, it seems that the gravity suddenly increases, but it is not too abrupt, as if I feel tired unconsciously."

The purpose of mountaineering is not only to withstand gravity, but more importantly, to test the will, which is to increase gravity in mind and spirit. Physical weakness is secondary, many people are pale, and the problem is obviously more serious. ”

Nearly 100 mountaineering candidates, almost half of the performance is unbearable, some even have a sallow face, as if a serious illness, and these situations, in the process of mountaineering is not reflected, perhaps many in the way of mountaineering, did not notice anything, before and after arriving at the stele, the signs suddenly appeared.

Somewhere in a canyon, Lu Jiuge looked at the teenagers who were climbing the mountain, and said with a slight soothing brow: "Then Shen Jiyue, Zheng Qian and the others really deserve to go farther than others, and they look at problems more carefully. ”

Nan Sheng said disapprehantly: "This is a question that can be seen through by just thinking about it, and it doesn't prove how high their qualifications are, but their willpower is indeed the top in this." ”

Lu Jiuge smiled slightly and said: "Because you are standing at different angles, of course you can be a bystander, the oppressive force against the will is invisible and thoughtless, and it is difficult for them to perceive it in the process of mountaineering, just like a person moving in one direction, he didn't feel anything at first, and when he paid attention to the unfamiliar environment around him, he would suddenly wake up and get lost." This is a potential perception problem. ”

Nan Sheng was thoughtful, she looked at Li Mengzhou, who was still standing at the back, and said in surprise: "Senior sister, that guy doesn't seem to have anything wrong, he actually behaved more easily than Shen Jiyue and Zheng Qian, and there was not even a drop of sweat on his face. ”

Lu Jiuge was stunned for a moment, and seemed to realize who the guy in Nan Sheng's mouth was, and frowned and said: "It's also strange to say, this young man has not entered the visualization stage, but his willpower seems to be amazing, maybe he has been exposed to the aura of heaven and earth, or for other reasons, but his performance is indeed worth caring about." ”

......

Under the magnificent light of noon, in front of the stele is a very large area, a gentle slope composed of green meadow hills, but these green meadows have been covered with snow, and have long lost their green intentions, but it is still a very moving picture, there are more than a dozen complex lanes between the paintings, and a few flowers and trees are planted at intervals next to the road, which are irregularly dotted between the hillsides, and are extremely beautiful.

Li Mengzhou didn't care about the voices of the people around him, he just looked at the mountain scenery silently, and then was silent for a long time, and walked towards the stone tablet.

Soon, Li Mengzhou's movements also attracted everyone's attention, and their eyes also converged towards the stone tablet with Li Mengzhou's footsteps.

The white-robed young man who was squatting next to the stone monument frowned and raised his eyes to look at Li Mengzhou, if it weren't for Li Mengzhou's special case of riding a horse alone to follow out of the city, maybe he would have forgotten that there was such a young man among the people who traveled with him.

Compared with most people's luxurious clothes and fair complexion, Li Mengzhou is dressed in coarse clothes and has a dark complexion, which looks out of place and nondescript.

The white-robed young man moved his position with some disgust, as if he was afraid that the dirt on Li Mengzhou's body would contaminate him.

Li Mengzhou only glanced at him lightly, and his eyes were on the stone stele.

Perhaps this stele is just a signpost, indicating that crossing the stele is to enter the mountain gate of the palace.

But Li Mengzhou can clearly feel that the word "leaving the palace" engraved on this stone tablet or on the stone tablet is rich in very powerful power.

He had reason to believe that the person who carved these two words must have been a great monk.

He reached out and gently touched the words on the stone tablet, and a cool sensation quickly spread through his fingertips, and his spirits were lifted.

He seemed to freeze in place, and there was nothing in the world but the stone tablet.

Everyone was watching Li Mengzhou's strange behavior.

The same is true of Lu Jiuge and Nan Sheng on a canyon somewhere.

Nan Sheng said with disdain: "That guy is quite good at finding attention, he was originally an obscure little person who didn't care about anyone, but now everyone's eyes are on him." ”

Although Lu Jiuge was very strange why Nan Sheng's attitude towards the young man was so unbearable, she didn't say anything, just silently watched Li Mengzhou's action of touching the stone tablet, looking thoughtful.

A third person appeared on the canyon, as if he had been standing here from the beginning, and his appearance was not abrupt, he was dressed in a white robe, with a sword behind his back, standing with his hands in his hands, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he also looked at Li Mengzhou.

"He was the first to discover the problem of the stone stele, although I don't know if it was a mistake, but he finally surpassed Shen Jiyue and those people in this point. ”

Lu Jiuge looked at the white-robed young man, waved his hands in salute, bowed his head slightly, and said softly, "Senior Brother Ning." ”

The white-robed young man smiled and nodded, and said, "Senior Sister Lu." ”

Nan Sheng looked at Senior Brother Ning, and after a simple salute, he said, "Is there something wrong with that stone stele? Even if there is really a problem, Li Mengzhou's guy must have hit it by mistake." ”

The white-robed young man smiled and said, "Senior Sister Nansheng seems to have a lot of opinions about this young man, but objectively speaking, whether he was by mistake or not, he also discovered the problem earlier than others. The process of mountaineering is indeed one of the assessment topics of leaving the palace, and the key is on the stone tablet, if they can't perceive and solve the problems on the stone tablet, they will be trapped outside the mountain gate, unable to enter the palace, and unable to participate in the next assessment. ”

Lu Jiuge said: "I think that the young man really discovered the problem of the stone stele, his goal is very clear, and the action of touching the stone tablet is also very deliberate, otherwise why didn't the others think about observing the stone stele? ”

Nan Sheng was a little unwilling, pouting and staring at Li Mengzhou hatefully.

The white-robed young man smiled: "I have the same opinion as Senior Sister Lu, that young man may really have extraordinary skills. ”

Nan Sheng finally couldn't help but say: "But that person hasn't even reached the visualization stage, even if he discovers the problem of the stone tablet, what can he do? If he can't visualize the aura of heaven and earth, he doesn't have the cultivation qualifications, so what's the use of his keen observation?"

The white-robed young man sighed and said, "Indeed, if he really doesn't have the cultivation qualifications, no matter how strong his willpower is and how terrifying his insight is, he can't enter the palace. ”
