Chapter 4 The clear clouds are vast, and they become two instruments
Zhang Xiyun went down to the seventy-plus steps to see the person who also chose to try to climb the ladder at night, and no one showed surprise at Zhang Xiyun coming down from above, thinking that he was also in the seventy-plus, but there were one or two more steps more than himself, and he couldn't bear it before coming down.
On the ninety-first step of the staircase, a figure suddenly appeared, it was the young man in black clothes before, I don't know what method he used, he didn't realize his existence when Zhang Xiyun came down, he looked up at the higher stairs and looked back down, his eyes thoughtful.
On the clear cloud ladder, everyone was immersed in it, not knowing the whiteness of the East. A scarlet sun slowly crept up from the sky. At this time, at the fiftieth order, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spirit Yuan began to show small fluctuations, and it seemed to be gradually disappearing.
Zhang Xiyun, who had already returned to the fiftieth step to sit cross-legged and meditated, still had his eyes closed, and at this time he felt the decrease in the spirit element of heaven and earth, and frowned slightly, he knew that the day was dawning, and the Qingyun Ladder was no longer as brilliant as it was at night.
Zhang Xiyun suddenly felt that the Heaven and Earth Lingyuan was gathering towards his side, and suddenly opened his eyes, more like he was awakened, and looked at Li Niu on the side.
The surrounding heaven and earth spirit yuan began to gather towards Li Niu, his whole body was red, the blood around his body was vigorous and boiling, Li Niu finally opened up the second pulse of Ren Du at this time, and was promoted to Liangyi!
In less than a cup of tea, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Yuan beside Li Niu gradually weakened, and at this time, he had truly stabilized the Liangyi cultivation and slowly opened his eyes.
Li Niu's face was full of excitement, and when he saw Zhang Xiyun on the side looking at him with a smile, he excitedly took Zhang Xiyun's hand, "Xiyun, I have broken through! The Liangyi that I couldn't become for so long has finally taken shape!"
Zhang Xiyun said with a smile: "Brother Niu, you have a lot of savings, and the breakthrough is just a matter of pushing the boat down the river, I believe that now you can go to the next level by climbing the ladder." β
Li Niu didn't know how to thank him, just nodded and smirked.
At this time, there was a discordant voice.
"It's just a promotion to Liangyi, and I'm also proud, I don't know where the country boy came from, but I know that the sky is high and the earth is thick!" The young man who spoke was dressed in brocade, and even the jade pendant hanging around his waist was also a first-class good jade, but it was thought that this person's status was not low, and he must be a wealthy family, but his words were extremely rude.
There were two young people beside the man who were also dressed in brocade clothes, and they saw that they had come all the way, and when they heard the words of their companions, they also put on a look of disdain for Li Niu, which was really a vivid scene of inflammation and possession.
When Li Niu heard them say this, his original smile gradually disappeared, but he didn't refute it, and clenched his fists.
I don't know if I saw Li Niu and didn't dare to refute, so the young man didn't restrain but became even more arrogant, "You country boy, you also want to enter the Tianqiong Sect? Do you think this is a place where ordinary people like you can be delusional?"
"Since you are not an ordinary man, you must have become an immortal and entered the gods, so why do you need to compete with us for this place in the sect?" Zhang Xiyun did not turn around, but just glanced at this person with slanted eyes.
Zhang Xiyun didn't speak before, but he felt that the bullying between these children was too naΓ―ve, but that person was obviously favored at home since he was a child, and there was no one in his eyes. It's just that Li Niu has a little inferiority complex, and he doesn't refute it.
The young man saw Zhang Xiyun reply, looked at Zhang Xiyun carefully, and saw that the clothes Zhang Xiyun was wearing were all made of high-grade silk, and he thought that he was also from a famous family.
"I am Yang Bin, the son-in-law of the Yang family in Guancheng, I see that you are also a disciple of the family, I don't know where you come from?"
Zhang Xiyun didn't look at him, waved his hand and said, "I have no intention of getting close to you, I just want to persuade you, why insult others for no reason." β
Yang Bin just didn't want to provoke a wealthy child as an enemy, but Zhang Xiyun didn't look at him, and wanted to lecture him, without giving him any face, Yang Bin's style of being a gentleman was revealed.
"Hmph, I see that you are well-dressed, and you don't look like this country boy's companion, but I want to persuade you, don't meddle in your affairs, and then mess with such people, and insult your own style!" Yang Bin said coldly.
"How can a country boy be compared with a disciple of the family, you and him are not all the way, wait with me as soon as possible, otherwise you will enter the sect in the future, but no one will look down on you. Yang Bin's companion sneered.
Zhang Xiyun didn't expect that even if he went to another world, this view of the portal was still deep-rooted.
Zhang Xiyun turned around, looked at Yang Bin and his companions beside him, and chuckled, "I hit it off with Li Niu at first sight, naturally we are his companions, but you don't leave your family background, you want to come and lean on the big tree to enjoy the shade, like a fox and a fake tiger, you and the fox are all the way, I don't want to go all the way with the beasts."
Yang Bin and the others were stunned for a moment, and then figured out that they were scolding themselves for being beasts?
Several onlookers around listened and couldn't help but laugh.
Several of Yang Bin's companions cursed.
Yang Bin laughed angrily: "You say that I am a fox and a fake tiger, and you treat me as a straw bag?"
Zhang Xiyun nodded solemnly, "That's what I think." β
Li Niu on the side heard that Zhang Xiyun was defending him, and he was very moved, but he saw that the conflict was intensifying, and he was a little afraid that Zhang Xiyun would annoy the other party and affect Zhang Xiyun, so he hurriedly wanted to stop Zhang Xiyun, but Zhang Xiyun waved his hand at him gently.
Yang Bin sneered, "Since you think so highly of your own strength, tonight, we will fight! I want to see how you can beat us? Don't blame me for scattering your strength when the time comes!"
Qingyun Ladder was originally forbidden to fight, and no one dared to fight, after all, there were still a few Tianqiong elders watching, but this was only a daylight thing!
The clear cloud ladder at night, his subtlety is that it is a ladder and a world, isolated from everything, and it is almost impossible to see any situation on the clear cloud ladder outside!
It is precisely because of this that when Zhang Xiyun ascended the ladder last night, even if the Heaven and Earth Spirit Yuan above the ninety steps of the Qingyun Ladder was disordered because of him, no one knew.
In fact, before going down the mountain, my great-grandfather confessed that this time he joined the sect, so that he would not enter the seven peaks and enter the hundred veins. And last night's life and death, Zhang Xiyun also understood some of the deep meanings in it, his great-grandfather told himself in and out of his words, don't forcibly climb the ladder, don't enter the seven peaks and enter the hundred veins, I'm afraid I also want to tell myself about cultivation, don't rush in, don't fight.
There are also fights between wealthy families, and they do everything possible to get rid of their opponents at night, and Yang Bin's words are undoubtedly a battle post for the two.
Zhang Xiyun obviously didn't want to fight for this kind of thing, he was a person who had lived a lifetime, and he felt that it was like a fight between children, and he really didn't have this interest.
Zhang Xiyun took a step forward, looked at Yang Bin and said, "Do you think that such a waste of physical strength is fun on this Qingyun Ladder? Maybe the little bit of energy that determines whether you can climb the next step has been wasted by your boring provocation." β
Zhang Xiyun's words are true, on this Qingyun Ladder, every trace of strength is crucial, only every trace of strength is used on the blade is the right way, although everyone knows the private fight of Qingyun Ladder at night, but it does not happen often, only between the big families in order to suppress, only specially cultivate some disciples to disturb the children of other families on the Qingyun Ladder, but it is only some side disciples, the real lineage will not be handed over to such a task that harms others and is not beneficial to themselves, Yang Bin said this, but it made others laugh at stupidity.
Yang Bin was said by Zhang Xiyun like this, only to realize that he was angry and said stupid things, at this time, he was afraid that he had been ridiculed by some of the disciples of the surrounding family, and he felt even more ashamed, so he simply broke the jar and fell, and a yellow light condensed in his hand, after all, he was still a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, and he couldn't suppress his impulse, and he wanted to do it on the Qingyun Ladder during the day.
"Since you want to split the winner so much, how about we change the way and bet on a game?" Zhang Xiyun couldn't help but sigh when he saw Yang Bin's move.
Yang Bin didn't think about it and was about to refuse, but the companion standing beside him stopped him, if he fought here, it would be a violation of the rules of Qingyun Ladder, and if he was heavily punished, he might prohibit the children of the family from entering Tianqiong Peak for a long time.
Although Yang Bin is an impulsive person, he is not stupid, and naturally thinks that if the family is banned from entering the sect, the family will be extremely dissatisfied with himself, and even his father can't take care of himself, thinking of this, Yang Bin has already dripped cold sweat.
"How are you going to bet?" Yang Bin asked in a sly voice.
"Just bet on this clear cloud ladder!"
"The two of us, the three of you, gamble on this clear cloud ladder, and if the number of steps climbed by any two of the three of you is higher than the number of steps climbed by the two of us combined, you win. β
This rule is obviously more beneficial to Yang Bin and them, and the people around him don't know where Zhang Xiyun's confidence comes from, Li Niu next to him, just entered Liangyi, how can he not climb the sixty steps, even if he can climb more than seventy steps, he will lose, Yang Bin and their group of children of the family, it is not really a straw bag, at least the seventy steps can be climbed.
Yang Bin sneered, "Okay, okay, I'll see how you two win me!"
A person beside Yang Bin stepped forward and asked, "Since it is a gambling game, it is natural to have a bet, what do you use to gamble?"
The corners of Zhang Xiyun's mouth were hooked, and he chuckled: "This is not simple? Whoever loses will go down the ten-step Qingyun Ladder, and shout as he walks, 'I am willing to gamble and lose!' οΌβ
Li Niu was immediately anxious when he heard this, Zhang Xiyun stood up for himself, but if he couldn't join Tianqiong Zhengzong because he was involved with Zhang Xiyun, then Li Niu really owed Zhang Xiyun a debt that he couldn't pay off.
Li Niu hurriedly went to pull Zhang Xiyun, but Zhang Xiyun still waved his hand at him, signaling him not to worry.
The man nodded, "That's it." "This method can save face, which is naturally good.
At this time, Yang Bin interjected, "Isn't it boring to gamble like this?"
Zhang Xiyun raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Then how are you going to bet?"
Yang Bin sneered: "If you lose, you will withdraw from Tianqiong and dissipate your strength on your own, how about it, do you dare?"
Li Niu's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly went to pull Zhang Xiyun again, but Zhang Xiyun snorted coldly, looking at Yang Bin's young age but with a vicious look, his heart finally filled with some anger.
"As you wish!"
The people around were surprised, but they didn't expect Zhang Xiyun to even dare to agree to such conditions!
"You guys are ready to go back to the countryside and farm well!" Yang Bin and his companions laughed loudly, as if the victory and defeat had been decided.
Yang Bin walked past the two, raised his hand to compare his neck, and said, "Enjoy the scenery on this Qingyun Ladder, you won't be able to see it in the future." β
Zhang Xiyun was noncommittal, just smiled.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to see, the people around were ready to continue climbing the ladder.
Seeing everyone leaving, Li Niu hurriedly pulled Zhang Xiyun, "Xiyun, you and I"
Zhang Xiyun laughed and patted Li Niu on the shoulder, "Brother Niu, you don't have confidence in me?"
Li Niu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I am."
"Is it because you don't have confidence in yourself?"
Li Niu seemed to be deflated for a moment and lowered his head.
Zhang Xiyun looked at Li Niu's expression and sighed, he personally climbed the ninety-eighth step last night, and now he is generally clear about the coercion of each order, he agrees that this matter is not entirely due to impulse, in his opinion, Li Niu can completely go up to the seventieth step!
"Li Niu, in fact, you are very good, your physical body is only comparable to you when I have cultivated to the four elephants, you have not reached Liangyi, and you have resisted the pressure of the Qingyun Ladder with the power of your physical body to the fiftieth level, and now you have entered the realm of Liangyi, I believe that you can win the top spot in the outer gate!"
At the top of the list, the rules of the clear cloud ladder, climb above the sixty steps, those who are less than the seventy steps enter the outer door, and climb to the top of the seventy steps, but those who are eighty-one steps enter the hundred veins, and those who climb above the eighty-one steps enter the seven peaks. And the top of the list is not only the person with the highest number of steps in each stage, but also the person who has to climb the highest ladder in each stage, and has both of these to be the top of the list!
"Xiyun, have you been promoted to the Four Elephants?" Li Niu said in astonishment.
Zhang Xiyun smiled, "You gained something last night, and I'm not bad, how about it, now you have some confidence, right?"
Li Niu looked at Zhang Xiyun, and a warm current surged in his heart, except for when he was in front of his mother and when he was a junior in the inn in the town under the mountain, he no longer felt this feeling of being trusted, and now there is another Zhang Xiyun.
When he was young, he left home only to continue his mother's life.
Li Niu's released fist clenched tightly again, and his body was filled with an indescribable fighting intent?
Zhang Xiyun looked at Li Niu at this time, and he really smiled.
"Brother Niu, let's go. Let's climb the ladder!"
Li Niu nodded, stepped on the next step, and stood firmly.
