Chapter 4: The Young Master (Part II)
"What is she going to do? Do you think that if you climb the mountain, you can be accepted as an apprentice?" Su Hongye said in astonishment, the threshold for accepting apprentices in the Ten Thousand Beginnings Sect is extremely high, and I don't know how many people want to become disciples of the sect but are rejected, so there are people with strong will, in order to win another chance, they try their best to climb the peak in the center of the mountain protection array, but few succeed.
As for such a small challenger, it is even more unheard of.
In fact, even if you are lucky enough to climb to the top of the mountain, those who have no roots will not be given another chance.
However, Jiang Luo smiled, ran his finger across the mirror, and said softly: "If she can climb to the top of the mountain, I will give her another chance." β
"Master, the first qualification of this sect to accept apprentices, she ......"
Su Hongye reminded in a whisper, but Jiang Lu sneered.
"In terms of qualifications, who in the world can compare to Li Yeyin of the Southern Tang Dynasty, regardless of the weak crown, he will read through the Taoist collection and form a golden pill. But if I really accept disciples on the basis of qualifications, which of you is worthy of being my disciples? You have to remember that the most important thing for a monk is not qualifications, but perseverance, perseverance. A little girl can break into the mountain protection array alone and is not afraid, and even calm and not lose to adults, it can be seen that her past is unimaginably heavy, and it is precisely because of the experience of hell that she has this perseverance and patience beyond ordinary people. There are too many proud people in this family, but they lack such great perseverance. β
Speaking of the most reluctant, there is already a bit of bitterness, because of the peerless qualifications, seventy years ago, the general was only eight years old by the contemporary master to accept the apprentice, and then at the age of thirty to form a golden pill, five years ago, he became a Yuanying, officially becoming the youngest elder of the thousands of years of inheritance of the Ten Thousand Sects.
Because his talent is too high, he doesn't care about the qualifications of his disciples, and for him, no matter how high his talent is, it can't compare to perseverance.
"Remember the teachings of the elders. β
The disciples spoke in unison, looking at them perfunctory, and there was also unhappiness in their hearts, but when they turned around, they saw that the ragged girl in the mirror was once again trying to pierce the sharp stone tied with a thick rope into the soft part of the cliff, and the corners of her stern mouth unconsciously smiled a little.
Her eyes were full of anger and unwillingness. Momiji, you may have an apprentice who is difficult to teach. β
When Su Hongye heard this, she looked at the girl in her glasses again, and found that the girl really had no bones to cultivate immortals, and she couldn't help but feel resentful, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the ancestor, so she had to whisper: "This kid's bones are indeed a little worse, but since he can enter the eyes of the ancestors, there must be merit." β
"Momiji, you blame me again. I do like her perseverance a little, but I won't consider taking it until she climbs the mountain. β
Jiang Lu said soothingly, walked to the flower tree, sat down, took out a scroll of golden silk silk from his sleeve that flowed out of his sleeve and was enough to make half of the Xiuzhen Realm bleed, looked at it casually, and said, "This can pass the time for a while." β
"But ......"
Feng Luo said hesitantly, and through the water mirror, he saw that the girl was struggling to climb up, the rope was too rough, and the scabbed wounds on her hands and feet were ground up and ruptured and bleeding again. The mountain wall is not smooth, there are sharp rocks, there is mud and sand sliding, and the slightest carelessness will lead to unstable efforts and fall off the cliff. Thanks to the girl's light body, she finally persevered until now.
But even then, it was still too reluctant.
The mountain was so steep and high that it was less than a fifth of the way up, and the girl was exhausted, and she swayed in the mountain wind with her thick rope on her instincts.
"I'm afraid she won't be able to get up. β
Although he disdained Shizun's chess skills, Feng Luo never doubted Shizun's vision, and he believed that the girl who had Shizun's eyes on him must be special. But this is really too difficult for a twelve or thirteen-year-old.
However, he soon laughed again, and the girl was really smart and stubborn, and she had long known that she might run out of strength halfway, so she tied several ropes around her waist, and each rope was tied with sharp stones, and whenever her strength was about to crumble, she would insert the sharp stones into the cracks of the stones, fix herself in the air and rest for a while, and wait until her strength was restored, and then continue to move forward.
After only two days of climbing, the girl approached the mountainside.
"No wonder Shizun thinks she's a little different. β
Hearing this, Jiang Luo raised his head and said disapprerovingly: "It's also a little clever, but it's a pity that it's impossible to climb up with these alone." β
After that, he put down the silk book, picked up the lotus leaf white jade cup with his thin onion-like fingers, moved his wrist slightly, and the water turned into nectar and fell into the water mirror.
"The rainstorm is coming. β
Smiling, he lowered his head again and continued to read the silk book.
......
......
After three days of climbing, the top of the mountain is still buried in the depths of the mountain clouds, the wounds on the body begin to be red, swollen and suppurated, and the rope twisted from the bark is very rough.
Although she could use a rope to half-fix herself to the cliff at night, her physical strength continued to flow, and when the fourth morning came, the girl felt that her hands and feet were filled with lead, and every movement brought a tearing pain.
When she started climbing, she could climb for two hours in a row before she needed to stop, but now, just a few feet ahead, she was out of breath and had to stop.
Moreover, the water in the gourd is almost exhausted.
Even her stomach, accustomed to starvation, repeatedly screamed in protest, and she clearly knew that her body was close to its limit, but the top of the mountain was still far away. However, the girl's heart is not half lost and regretful, she has climbed halfway up the mountain, as long as she persists, a little higher and higher every day, one day she will climb to the top of the mountain.
Climb to the top of the mountain and you'll have another chance.
There were no promises, she just instinctively believed them.
Her hands and feet were red and swollen with pus, and every time she touched her heart, she felt that her pain was nothing, but as long as she thought of the terrible screams in the depths of the raging sea of fire, the little babies who were picked on the tip of the gun, she felt that her pain was nothing.
Lack of talent?
Since she was a child, she has been with a supreme genius like Brother Yeyin, and she has actually been accustomed to the comfort of the people around her with a little pity. Brother Nightshade could memorize the scroll backwards after reading it once, and she had to read it ten times before she could barely memorize half of it. She knows that she is not smart, but she is not stupid, and she firmly believes that as long as she is willing to put in ten or even a hundred times the effort, mortals can do what only proud people can do.
Wanting this, she looked up again and looked at the top of the mountain that was out of reach.
As long as you keep climbing, you will always climb to the top of the mountain.
The girl thought calmly, ready to continue climbing. Suddenly, a cold mountain wind blew, and the stone that almost held the girl's body in place was scraped off the pinnacle, and she held the thick rope in shock, and raised her head, and the originally bright sky suddenly darkened, and the clouds were overcast.
The air was sticky and rustic, and it was about to rain.
What should she do?
I finally climbed to the mountainside, did I just give up because of a rain?
Another gust of mountain wind blew, and the raindrops hit my body, but I didn't feel it.
Because I was so tired that I had forgotten the pain. The girl thought indifferently that the rainstorm was coming, and it would be dangerous to stay on the cliff, but if she gave up, the efforts of the previous three days would be in vain!
"No retreat, absolutely no retreat!"
If this rain is really demonized, then it can't go back!
She thought quietly, stabbing the sharp stone into the deeper crevices before the more terrible storm came.
Whoaβ
The mountain rain came as scheduled, and the mountains and mountains instantly became a vast expanse, all the cracks in the sky and the earth opened, and the flood fell violently, and she even heard the sound of trees falling with a bang.
Although I couldn't open my eyes when I was hit by the rain, what lingered in my heart was the warm fragrance and elegance in the rain pavilion, as well as the elegance of the rain hitting the plantains.
"Brother Night, I'm ...... Miss you......"
......
......
Wash off the outer layer of black mud, and it still looks quite marked, but unfortunately there are no bones.
Looking at the girl who gradually revealed her true face under the rain, Fengluo thought with a little sympathy.
Under the tree, Jiang Lu still looked intently at the golden silk silk book, as the youngest elder in the history of the Ten Thousand Beginnings, he had always been lonely, indifferent and cold, like an ink on the paper that was about to melt, and it would disappear at any time.
......
......
The rain washed down layer by layer, and the bracelet on the girl's wrist finally faded off the dirt to reveal the original silver white, which seemed to be silver, but it was more brilliant than silver, and the simplicity of the bright moon was pregnant in peace. The surface of the bracelet is engraved with countless patterns. In the center of the intricate pattern, there is a thousand-petal lotus flower, the lotus flower is lifelike, and the lotus heart is a drop of red. The rain has washed countless times, and the red of the lotus heart seems to be given life, and it is full of color, although it is a grain of rice, there is the light of the bright moon.
The girl in the bleak wind and cold rain quickly lost her body temperature, her lips were blue, and she was trembling, like a fallen leaf in the wind, which could wither at any time.
Boom Boom β
The purple lightning slashed through the scarlet and slashed at the girl mercilessly, seeing that this little life was about to disappear, the general who was concentrating on reading the silk book raised his head, his fingers sliding, and a sword light came out of thin air and flew into the water mirror.
Wow β
Tau β
The two forces collided in a row, causing even more terrifying cracks in the illusion, but just as the girl was about to be swept away by the waves of rubble, the blush of the bracelet lotus heart moved slightly.
Its light was so gentle and so faint that even the generals didn't notice it.
......
......
The girl who didn't know that she had been in front of the ghost gate closed until the rain stopped a little, and then continued to climb up.
At first, she was worried about slippery rocks after the rain. But the more she went up, the more relaxed she felt, as if she was stepping on a white cloud, and the faster and faster she went, the body washed by the rain soon turned into a muddy crawl out, but the girl didn't care about it, she just climbed up vigorously, untilβ
The hand touched a hard and stable place!
She saw that in the center of the clean and dust-free square, there were flowers and trees falling in color, and under the trees, men and women in flowing clothes stood with their hands down, hugging the Venerable One who was reading a book comfortably in the center.
I climbed to the top of the mountain?!
The girl thought in disbelief, but the sudden success made her trance, and she fell to her knees.
"Immortal Chief!"
