Everyone met in the backyard of the martial arts hall, each of them carried a bamboo basket, which contained food, water, clothes and various bone-setting ointments, Meng Cheng stood in front of everyone and said, "Today's 'mountain climbing' cultivation, I have already said before, only through real exercise can you pass' Mountain-climbing' level, and the place where we train is on the cliff behind me, after a month of drug immersion, your body has laid a solid foundation, although it is not as good as a cultivator, but compared to ordinary people, it still has an advantage, now let me see how far you can go, the first to reach the top of the cliff, I have an additional reward. ”

Meng Cheng said to Meng Ruhan, who was standing behind him, "You watch from below to prevent someone from falling and getting injured." ”

Meng Ruhan nodded.

Meng Ruhan has already passed the quenching level, and now he is a cultivator in the first level of the talent realm.

Meng Cheng turned around and said, "Begin." ”

Zhou Tianshen and the others heard the command and quickly ran towards the cliff, because they have been looking for herbs in the mountains and forests recently, so Zhou Tianshen's physical strength is far beyond that of others, and after a while, everyone was left behind by him.

Meng Cheng moved his muscles and said, "Before they arrive, I need to go up and have a look, you just wait here, when they all go up, you go to your own business, you want to go to Zhongzhou to participate in Huang Zhaozi Academy, I have arranged it for you." But are you sure you want to leave so early?

Meng Ruhan looked up at the eight people working the cliff, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "Wait for them, I don't know if it will be the Year of the Monkey." ”

Meng Cheng said with a smile, "Like my son, he is proud enough, but Zhongzhou is far away from here, and your cultivation is still low, so you must be accompanied." ”

"You're going too?"

"I can't do without this place, it's Zhang Yunan, he mentioned a few days ago that he was going to travel, and I talked about you, and he was happy to go to Zhongzhou with you. ”

Meng Ruhan fell into deep thought, "Can I trust him?

Meng Cheng interrupted his son's suspicions, "Although I don't know his details, at least I can be sure that he is not our enemy, that's what Senior Kou said to me... At the time of parting, the father has nothing to give you, only one sentence can be given to you, trust in a person, don't be too straightforward, and doubt a person, don't reveal it too much, those who know don't speak, those who say don't know. ”

Meng Ruhan knelt down on one knee, clenched his hands into fists, bowed his head and groaned, "Remember my father's teachings." ”

Meng Cheng raised his head, put his palm in front of his forehead, and said softly, "So fast?"

On the cliff, Zhou Tianshen put down the bamboo basket panting, took out the kettle from it, which was made of bamboo before Zhou, Zhou Tianshen took a small sip gently, estimated that there would be a place to use it next, and put down the kettle, followed by Tie Liu's daughter, Tie Zishan, I saw her holding the vine man who fell from the cliff with both hands, drank softly, kicked hard with her legs on the cliff, and her body rotated in the air, and then she let go of the vine man, and the whole person fell steadily on Zhou Tianshen's side, she wiped the sweat drops on her forehead, very chic.

Tie Zishan sat next to Zhou Tianshen and said to herself, "My father taught me how to climb mountains, and also taught me how to catch fish and shoot birds with a slingshot. ”

Zhou Tianshen hummed softly, he and her were not unfamiliar.

The cliff is very short, about 15 meters high, and there are some gravel in the first half that can be used to climb and grasp, and in the second half, although the stone wall is a little smooth, there are some potholes scattered at a certain distance, and there are many vines that can be used to strengthen the body, so this distance is not difficult for children who live near the mountain.

Others reached the top one after another.

When Meng Cheng appeared behind everyone, he really startled them, especially Wang Duozhan, who was resting on the cliff.

Meng Cheng smiled with satisfaction and looked at Zhou Tianshen and Tie Zishan, "Very good results, I thought someone would be left behind, not bad." ”

Wang Duozhan was reluctantly pulled up by Wang Cunyuan, puffed out his mouth and patted the dust on his body, and asked, "Uncle Meng, didn't you say that there is a reward for the first place, what is it?"

Tie Zishan turned his head and said, "What does it have to do with you?"

Wang Duo rolled his eyes and looked away.

Meng Cheng waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet, "Don't worry, the gifts are at the bottom of the mountain, this time we have a competition, I have eight maps here, and the end is where the gifts are placed, but there are not many gifts, only six, first come, first served." ”

Meng Cheng handed out the map, stood aside, raised his arms, and shouted, "Begin." ”

Zhou Tianshen took the map and did not set off in a hurry, but carefully memorized all the details on the map in his heart, Tie Zishan was still so hot, she grabbed Ma Xiandi's arm and ran down the mountain, "The gift is mine." ”

Ma Xiandi held the bamboo basket behind her, "Zishan, slow down, my bamboo basket is going to fall." ”

Wang Duozhan came to Zhou Tianshen's side, stood on tiptoe and looked at the map in his hand, "I thought it would be different." ”

Zhou Tianshen said, "How could it be different. ”

Zhou Tianshen put away the map and walked down the mountain, "Everyone else has already set off, why don't you leave, aren't you afraid that they will take all the gifts." ”

Wang Duo pursed his lips and followed behind Zhou Tianshen, "I can't read the map, so I can only follow you." ”

Zhou Tianshen looked around, this mountain cliff is very large, surrounded by rocks and dead trees, according to his experience in entering the mountain, there will definitely be a path to reach the end in advance, he patiently looked at the map before, it is for this. After he identified a direction, he ran quickly, Wang Duozhan reluctantly followed behind him, Zhou Tianshen asked, "Cunyuan has entered the mountain no less than me, why don't you follow him?"

Wang Duozhan said impatiently, "I don't want to be with him, like a girl." ”

Zhou Tianshen slowed down, climbed to a low tree, looked around, and when he came down, he pointed to the left, "Cunyuan and Bai Xiaosheng are there, you can catch up with them now." ”

Wang Duozhen sighed, "If I don't deal with Bai Xiaosheng, don't bother, when you get to the end, I'll give you half of the gift." ”

Zhou Tianshen continued to hurry, "I'm not here for the gift. ”

Under the leadership of Zhou Tianshen, the two soon came to a fork in the road, there was a street sign on the side of the road, with two arrows pointing in two directions, the map showed that both roads could reach the destination, but the road on the left was closer, but the road was not smooth, there was no obstacle on the right road, but it was necessary to walk nearly twice the distance, Zhou Tianshen asked Wang Duozhen's opinion, the little boy who had just drunk the last sip of water, his cheeks were ruddy, and his eyes were tired, "Let's get closer, I really can't walk... , Zhou Tianshen, didn't you say that the road you took was a shortcut, how do I feel that I have been walking for a long time?"

Zhou Tianshen handed his kettle to Wang Duozhan and wiped the sweat drops from his chin, "It's indeed a short road, I estimate that the others are still behind, but the road we walk is some swamps, where the climate is humid and the air is not circulated, so it will make people feel tired, but now that we are back on the road, just rest and rest." ”

Wang Duozhan took another big sip of water, wiping his mouth with his sleeve, "Let's go quickly, I seem to hear their voices." ”

Zhou Tianshen looked behind him, and he also felt this way.

He proposed, "Then take the great road, which is long but smooth, and does not require much effort, and when the time comes, see if there are any wild fruits that can be used to quench your thirst." ”

Wang Duozhan nodded in agreement, and the two walked to the right.

It didn't take long for Tie Zishan to pull Ma Xiandi from a distance, standing at the fork, Ma Xiandi pulled Tie Zishan's wrist and gasped, "Zishan, rest, I really can't run." ”

Ma Xiandi sat on the side of the road, took out the pu fan in the bamboo basket, fanned the wind, and ate the wild fruits picked from the roadside, Tie Zishan said, "The map shows that the road on the left is near, let's go to the left." ”

Ma Xiandi threw away the core and thought for a moment, "But the road on the left is not easy to walk, there may be beasts or something in it, you see, there is a tiger drawn on the map, and a small river or something, you know that I am most afraid of water." Let's go to the right. ”

Tie Zishan compromised, "Then let's rest while walking." ”

The two followed in the footsteps of Zhou Tianshen.

Wang Cunyuan and Bai Xiaosheng encountered the same problem.

Bai Xiaosheng dusted off the mud on the hem of his trousers, and the fan gently fanned the wind, "Anyway, my clothes are already dirty like this, why don't we go to the left and see what's inside?"

Wang Cunyuan crossed his hands on his hips and gasped, "Okay, I also want to see what is there, if I encounter a plant that I have never seen before, I will plant the seeds in my yard." ”

"Is there still room in your yard?"

Because he followed his father to strike iron all the year round, Jin Quanyi's physical strength was the best among the eight, he put down Wan Sansi on his shoulder and asked, "Which way are we going?"

Wan Sansi is the village abacus, Wanli's son, he is also influenced by his father, and often has an abacus pinned to his waist, he scratched his head and asked Jin Quanyi, "Do you still have the strength?"

Kim Quanyi said that this journey had no effect on him at all.

Wan Sansi jumped onto Jin Quanyi's shoulder, pointed to the left and said, "Then let's go this way." ”

After everyone made the choice to leave, Meng Cheng's figure appeared on the tree.

Eight people, two roads, each with its own duties.

The long road was unremarkable, Zhou Tianshen and Wang Duozhen stopped and stopped, and were soon caught up by Tie Zishan and Ma Xiandi, Tie Zishan looked at Wang Duozhan with disdain, "Eat and eat, you will know how to eat, and sooner or later you will become a big fat man." ”

Wang Duozhan ignored the little girl's ridicule, took out another fruit from his chest, took a big bite, and counterattacked, "If you have the ability, don't eat it." ”

At this time, Tie Zishan didn't look at people at all, "This is what I picked myself, can you pick it?"

After a short confrontation, Wang Duozhen was defeated, and he pulled Zhou Tianshen to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.

Tie Zishan and Ma Xiandi quickly followed.

On the side of the road, Bai Xiaosheng carefully stepped on the stones in the river, and without paying attention, he fell into the river, Wang Cunyuan followed behind him and pulled him up, Bai Xiaosheng said curiously, "Why did you walk so steadily?"

Wang Cunyuan patiently explained, "The stone is too slippery, you can't go too quickly, you have to find a foothold on the stone, let one foot fall steadily, and the other foot can step on it." ”

Bai Xiaosheng tried Wang Cunyuan's method, although he still stumbled a little, but at least he wouldn't fall.

The two crossed the river and came to a swamp, the swamp was covered with wooden planks, and there were several pairs of footprints on the planks, which should have been left by their predecessors, and the two passed through the swamp with each other's protection, Bai Xiaosheng took out the map again, "After passing through a thorny land, we will arrive." ”

The destination was set up on a big tree, a small tree house was built on the top of the tree, the trunk was unusually smooth, there was a bird's nest on the tree house, and the birds circled on the top of the tree.

Looking at the bird's nest and flock of birds in the tree, Wang Cunyuan suddenly realized, "I know this kind of bird, it seems to be called Horn Gu, it is a social animal, and it is very aggressive. ”

Bai Xiaosheng circled around the big tree, "There are no branches on this tree that can be used to climb, how can I go up?"

Jin Quanyi stared at the trunk of the tree and said thoughtfully, "I brought a woodcutter and a hammer, can we try to chisel the trunk." ”

Zhou Tianshen vetoed, "It's okay below, but it's a little difficult above." ”

Wang Duochan, who dragged a vineman down from the other trees, asked, "Use the vine man to entangle the body with the big tree?"

Tie Zishan also joined the discussion, "Then there will be no way to move." ”

Wang Duozhen was a little discouraged.

Just when he was at a loss, Wan Sansi took out an abacus and fiddled with it at will, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and said in an excited tone, "We can make an abacus." ”

The crowd was confused.

Wan Sansi put two fingers on the abacus beads, climbed up, and explained, "Just like an abacus, the beads fall together, and the fingers can climb up, and we can also find some branches and vines to surround the trunk layer by layer, and then we can climb up." ”

Zhou Tianshen touched his chin and estimated the volume of the trunk, "Won't this be too time-consuming, and there aren't too many vines here." ”

"Hey, I figured it out. Jin Quanyi took out a woodcutter and a hammer, "We can build a ladder, or we can climb up." ”

"That's right. ”

As soon as he said it, Jin Quanyi used a woodcutter to cut down some vines and tree trunks, tied them together, and built a wooden ladder.

"Here Wang Duozhan is the smallest, let him go up and get the gift. Bai Xiaosheng proposed.

Wang Duozhan looked frightened, "I'm afraid of heights." ”

Jin Quanyi said, "This ladder can't bear too much weight, and you are the only one who is the most suitable here." ”

Wang Duozhan looked at Zhou Tianshen, Zhou Tianshen shrugged, saying that there was nothing he could do.

Tie Zishan fanned the flames on the side, "Can you be a little manly?"

Wang Duozhan said helplessly, "Okay." ”

At this time, Zhou Tianshen took out a vine man, wrapped it around Wang Duochan's waist, and then ran behind another big tree, bypassed the vine man around the branch, and pulled it, Wang Duochan felt a pull and said excitedly, "Is it possible to pull me to the top." ”

Zhou Tianshen struggled to explain, "No, this just makes sure you don't fall too badly." ”

Seeing this, the others hurried to help.

Jin Quanyi fixed the ladder to the trunk of the tree, held the ladder with both hands, and comforted, "Don't be afraid, there is us." ”

Wang Duozhan stepped on Jin Quanyi's thigh, he put it on the ladder, he closed his eyes, and only thought about climbing to the top of the tree quickly and coming down quickly.

The ladder and the vine man on his waist are long enough, so Wang Duozhan doesn't have to worry about not being able to climb the tree house, but the birds have been hovering above the tree house, and the closer he gets to the tree house, the more he can feel the pressure brought by the birds. Let's go... My meat doesn't taste good..."

A sharp birdsong sounded in Wang Duochan's ears, completely breaking Wang Duochan's psychological defense, and he cried, "I can't do it, let me go quickly." ”

Everyone felt a little hesitant.

At this time, Wang Duozhan felt a big hand grabbing his waist and 'tearing' himself off the ladder, and he heard Meng Cheng's voice ringing in his ears, "It seems that this challenge is a little difficult for you." ”

Meng Cheng fell from the tree with Wang Duozhan in his arms, and everyone rushed forward to comfort Wang Duozan.

Meng Cheng punched the trunk of the tree, the tree shook for a while, and the tree house that was not firm fell apart in an instant, falling from the top of the tree, Meng Cheng waved his arm again, and the fist wind blew away the fragments of the tree house, and a large package fell on his right hand.

Meng Cheng put the package at his feet, "This is the gift I have prepared for you, you guys take a rest first, and we will start formal training in the afternoon." ”
