Chapter 4: Three Crossings

readx;? Tian Cai and Zhou Yiyi sat listlessly on the carriage with lotus leaves, Li Yong was lying bored, and suddenly took away the lotus leaves on his face: "It's been more than half a month, why haven't you arrived yet?" Zhou Quanshu leaned on a wooden stick and limped: "Don't complain, you see you are still sitting in the car, I am walking on foot all the way, and my feet are swollen and blistered." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" The money shopkeeper raised his right hand and said, "Stop." Li Yong sat up and said excitedly: "Have you arrived?"

The caravan stopped, the money shopkeeper walked to the front and stopped, chanted a spell in his mouth and waved his hand, a light curtain appeared in a flash of inspiration, and then a large hole was broken, and the money shopkeeper shouted: "Hurry up, the barrier will be closed soon." The caravan passed quickly, and Li Yong asked: "Money shopkeeper, what is this?" Qian shopkeeper said: "We have arrived at the land of Xishu, which is one hundred and twenty miles away from Tianchong Mountain, and it is an enchantment made by Tianchong Immortal Realm, in order to prevent wars and wars, and block mortals from entering. ”

Tian Cai was puzzled: "Didn't you say that Tianchong Mountain has accepted a lot of homeless people and cultivators in recent years? In this case, how can the homeless people pass?" The shopkeeper said: "There are too many homeless people, and in recent years, at least more than 200,000 people have poured in, and there are some demons mixed in the middle. There is no way to do this, although the Tianchong Mountain Range is large, there are too few flat and easy to cultivate land, and cultivation needs to be close to the water source, if there are too many people coming in, Tianchong Mountain will not be able to withstand too many people. ”

Zhou Quanshu said: "What the money shopkeeper said makes sense, but in this way, if the hooligans who come back later will not be able to open the enchantment, they will definitely not be able to enter Tianchong Mountain for refuge." The shopkeeper sighed and said: "Yes, the Tianchong Immortal Realm is also doing its best, unless the princes of the world truce, it will definitely be the people's livelihood." Li Yong asked: "Shopkeeper Qian, you said that the Tianchong Immortal Realm can build a magic circle, so why not make a magic circle to prevent demons from breaking in?" Qian Shopkeeper said: "The Tianchong Mountain Range is too big, and the power of the immortals can only make a weak formation here, if you encounter some demons, it is also unstoppable, unless the energy of Tianhu, the first artifact in the fairy world, it is impossible to create a super strong formation to block most of the demons." ”

"Tianhu?" Tian Cai was very surprised when he heard this, and the money shopkeeper nodded and said: "More than a thousand years ago, I heard that there was a disciple named Litian in the Tianchong Immortal Realm, and when he followed the immortals around to kill demons and demons, he stumbled upon a spiritual light in Bo Zhize. However, there are death swamps within a radius of hundreds of miles, full of miasma, poisonous insects and monsters, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the mire illusion, and Litian almost died in order to obtain this artifact. Everyone was shocked, and the money shopkeeper continued: "However, good things are always hidden in dangerous places, and after getting Tianwat from the sky, the mana has greatly increased and killed countless demons and monsters. Later, I heard that the secret method of immortality in the Tianhu artifact was revealed from Tianwu, and he lived for a thousand years, hehe. Everyone was excited when they heard this, and the fatigue of the road was swept away.

Li Yong said excitedly: "Is it really so magical?" The money shopkeeper said happily: "That's natural, otherwise why would the demons and monsters from all sides fight for their lives to seize the Tianwat artifact? Li Yong said: "Is there a hidden treasure?" The money shopkeeper was stunned and said: "Oh, these are all fairy realm artifacts, and the immortals and demons of all parties regard them as treasures, for them it is for immortality and exercises to deter the world, which is very different from what we mortals think, and for us, it is for glory, wealth, gold and silver treasures." You see, people like me, who often wear around the battlefields of the vassal states, just to survive, alas. ”

Zhou Quanshu said: "The caravan of the money shopkeeper is worth a lot of money, and he has been doing business for many years and has such family assets, why should he insist on this business anymore? Fortunately, the world is in turmoil, and the princes are strife, so that Qian has the opportunity to display his talents, if the world is stable, there will definitely be no day when Qian will come out. ”

Li Yong was surprised: "Listen to the meaning of the money shopkeeper, I wish the world was in chaos?" Zhou Quanshu was also unclear, so Tian Cai said thoughtfully: "Tian Cai used to listen to Mr. Lecturing, well, there are two sides to everything, it depends on how people see it." The shopkeeper smiled on his face and praised: "Little brother, I didn't expect to have such an understanding at a young age, it's not bad." Li Yong said disdainfully: "Strange talk!"

The money shopkeeper said: "Everything runs, there is an end and a beginning, it is not broken or standing, the cathode and yang are born, the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. Zhou Quanshu thought for a moment, took a few steps forward and praised: "Wonderful! I can't imagine that the money shopkeeper not only does a good business, but also has such a high level of knowledge, Zhou Quanshu admires and admires, if there is this, why not go into the relationship?" The money shopkeeper waved his hand and said: "Ten years ago, my mother went to take the test, but unfortunately the name fell to Sun Shan, ashamed, ashamed." Zhou Quanshu lamented: "The money shopkeeper doesn't have to be discouraged, failure is the mother of success, and there are still good years to try." ”

The shopkeeper Qian smiled and said, "Qian was penniless after his mother died, and he buried his mother by relying on the help of the neighbors, so he could only survive. Tian Cai suddenly felt empathy and couldn't help but feel sad. Li Yong asked: "How does the shopkeeper know the method of opening the enchantment?" The shopkeeper Qian said: "Qian often goes to the Spirit Grass Peak of the Tianchong Immortal Realm to exchange herbs, so if you know this formation, in the future, you can practice in Tianchong Mountain, you can collect some mountain herbs, and Qian will collect them at a high price, if you want any goods, you can also exchange them with me." Tian Cai said: "Thank you for helping the four of us this time, Tian Cai will definitely not forget your kindness, and will definitely pick some mountain herbs to thank you." The money shopkeeper nodded and said, "There is a town ahead, let's go rest and hurry again." Everyone nodded happily in response, and they were very happy that they had rarely had a good place to rest in so many days.

The next day, the caravan came to the foot of Tianchong Mountain, and the money shopkeeper stopped and said, "This is Qingmu Peak, a branch of the Tianchong Immortal Realm. The money shopkeeper pointed to a mountain road in front of him and said: "You go down this road, you will see a stone archway, that is the Sandu Pass, if you want to go to the fairy world to practice, you must pass the test of the Sandu Pass." Zhou Quanshu said: "Sandu Pass, what kind of test?" Qian shopkeeper said: "I will know that Qian is going to Lingcao Peak to change herbs now, so I will not accompany you." ”

Tian Cai took Zhou Yiyi off the carriage, and Zhou Yiyi stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper Qian, are you going to leave us?" Shopkeeper Qian nodded and said, "There is no banquet in the world, let's say goodbye." However, Qian's caravan will come once a season, and it would be nice to see you take root in Tianchong Mountain. Li Yong clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "Thank you for the help of the shopkeeper Qian all the way, we will thank you again when we become a cultivator!" Tian Cai, Zhou Quanshu and Zhou Yiyi saluted together, and the money shopkeeper said: "Gathering together is fate, and there is no need to thank you, if you pick some mountain goods and medicine for Qian, it will be better, hehe." Tian Cai squinted and said with a smile: "It must be." The money shopkeeper patted Tian Cai's shoulder and said, "When the time comes, Qian will not treat you badly, and will give money according to the market." Ah, it's not too early, we have to rush to Lingcao Peak, looking forward to the next meeting, haha. They said goodbye and went their separate ways.

Tian Cai and the four of them climbed for a while, and Li Yong exclaimed: "Sandu Pass has arrived, you see!" Zhou Quanshu looked up with sweat, and a stone archway loomed among the branches, with three big characters written on it: Sandu Pass. Zhou Yiyi said: "Brother Quanshu, put down your clothes, you must be very tired with me on your back." Zhou Quanshu nodded and put down Zhou Yiyi, and the four of them climbed towards Sandu Pass excitedly.

Tian Cai and the others rested at Sandu Pass for a while, and saw that there were also a few people waiting next to them. After a while, a man in white arrived with several gray-clad disciples.

The man in white said, "Everyone, please come to the stone platform here and start preparing for the Sanduguan exam." Ten people gathered on the stone platform and stood side by side, the corner of the white-clothed man's mouth smiled slightly, and said, "I am the senior disciple of Aoki Peak, and I am in charge of the standing position of the Heavenly Worship Immortal Realm. ”

"Standing officer?" said a young man dressed in brocade, he held a fan gracefully: "I have heard that a country has the position of three princes and nine secretaries, but I don't know what the position of executive is, and I ask the executive lord to give advice." The executive member coughed and said, "In the past few years, there have been many cultivators in Tianchong Mountain, and there have been more complicated things, so the elders have discussed the establishment of a standing body, and my general leader will take care of all matters. After a long time, many junior disciples will call me Senior Brother, so in the future, when you enter the Heavenly Worship Immortal Realm, you will call me so. The people nodded their heads and bowed.

Senior Brother Chang said: "When you come to the Sandu Pass, you must also know that you have to pass the exam to enter the Tianchong Immortal Realm, as long as you can pass the first level, you can become a disciple of the outer gate of the Tianchong Immortal Realm, and if you pass the second level, you can become an inner disciple......" A sloppy man standing at the end interrupted and said, "What about passing the third level?"

A trace of displeasure flashed on Senior Brother Chang's face, and he said, "There is no third level. Everyone looked at each other, and Senior Brother Chang said, "The first level is to cut down trees, and the second level is to enter the illusion behind me." Senior Brother Standing pointed sideways to a big stone next to him, which contained a huge bronze mirror, and everyone had seen the bronze mirror just now, and when the sloppyly dressed man at the end was about to touch the bronze mirror, he was stopped by the two white-clothed disciples who guarded it with fairy swords.

Senior Brother Chang continued: "If you pass the first level, if you are afraid that your ability is not good, you can work together in pairs to pass the illusion, there are three levels of tests in it, and it is called the three crossing passes. Everyone was stunned, and Senior Brother Chang said: "The first level, cut the barn wood." The sloppy man at the end was disdainful, and took a step forward and said, "Oh, cutting down trees, it's so simple?

Senior Brother Chang smiled and said nothing, and the disciple beside him said angrily: "Don't underestimate this Cangmu, Cangmu is a unique spiritual wood in Tianchong Mountain, if you don't cultivate well, you will simply cut it down." The sloppy man at the end was dumbfounded, and then stepped back, and the two young girls in the middle of the line covered their mouths and smiled. Senior Brother Chang coughed and said, "Yes, Cangmu is not comparable to ordinary trees, and the first level is to cut Cangmu." The white-bark trunk behind you is Cangmu, as long as you can cut the Cangmu with a thick bowl mouth, you can be regarded as passing the level, and you can be the outer disciple of our Heavenly Immortal Realm. Everyone looked around at Kuragi, large and small, with different expressions.

Senior Brother Standing went back and forth and said, "Before the exam, I want to ask you a few questions, over the years, all kinds of demons have been trying to sneak into the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Therefore, in order to know the root cause, you must answer truthfully, and if there is any deception, it will be severely punished if it is discovered in the future. Li Yong asked: "Dare to ask the Standing Lord, how will you be punished if you deceive the Heavenly Worship Immortal Realm?" Senior Brother Chang's tone was a little hard: "Abolish the cultivation lightly and expel it from the Immortal Gate, and if it is heavy, you will be executed!" Li Yong was shocked and trembled, and said, "I...... The four of us are...... It's an ordinary villager, but ...... Is it okay?" Senior Brother Chang said: "Whether it is a prince, a nobleman or a commoner, as long as you don't deceive and tell you honestly, our immortal world will accept you equally." Li Yong and the four breathed a sigh of relief.

Senior Brother Chang observed the expressions and expressions of the people next to him, and said after a while: "That is to say, first pass my inquiry, and then pass the later exams, you can become a member of the immortal world, so the three levels can also be called the three crossing passes." ”
