Chapter 39: The Second Attempt
After Goudan and the other four joined the Cloud Calling Sect, nearly a month has passed so far.
Because of the agreement made between the four of them and the Qing Sect Master before, within this year's time, they could not be regarded as true disciples of the Cloud Calling Sect, at most they could only be four miscellaneous coolies, and the place where they lived now was just a slightly dilapidated small hut at the foot of the mountain.
This small hut has been uninhabited for many years, it has been covered with dust, and some wooden seats are also full of insects, but fortunately there is a creek nearby, and there are mountains and forests not far away, they can not only repair this hut quickly, but also the daily food, clothing, housing and transportation are not too troublesome, they can solve it by themselves.
Even so, the four of them were still very busy on weekdays, in addition to cultivation, they had to do what the outer disciples had to do, and they also had to do the drudgery that the outer disciples didn't have to do.
What they need to do every day is nothing more than chopping wood and carrying water, feeding the animals raised by the Cloud Calling Sect at the foot of the mountain, washing clothes for the disciples on the mountain, etc., it can be said that they are busy from morning to night all day, and even have very little time to rest.
On the one hand, the reason is that there are only four of them in this small hut, so it will be so difficult to work.
At the beginning, the four of them worked very hard to just do these jobs, and they didn't dare to be lazy at all, but after the time of 1 month, Goudan and the eldest boss were already a little dissatisfied with this kind of life, especially Goudan, who began to slack off negatively.
Dogan is not only lazy, but sometimes he will steal a few chickens to roast to eat, for this, after the other three people dissuaded it many times to no avail, they will no longer stop it, because at the foot of this mountain, there are not so many disciples of the Cloud Calling Sect guarding here, and even if there are, they are just a few outer disciples.
Goudan has a good body, and it is not difficult for him to steal a few chickens to eat at night, not to mention, the chickens here, I am afraid that even the master of the Qingmen does not have a clear number in his heart, which makes Goudan feel at ease and boldly do it.
After that, another month passed, and Goudan began to get up earlier to peek at the outer disciples practicing at the foot of the mountain.
However, it is inappropriate for the dog to do this now, and he has not learned much useful things, this is because, the marrow washing pool that was opened two months ago, etc., is no longer open at this time, and it will only be open to the inside and outside when the cloud is called every year.
In addition, what those outer disciples practiced was only some superficial kung fu, and the core exercises taught by the real Cloud Calling Sect were only qualified to be learned by the outer disciples on the mountain, as well as the inner disciples.
These superficial kung fu may be pretty good for the big boss, the iron pillar, and the bamboo pole, but for even the dogs who have sharp eyes, they are nothing.
Over time, a character like a dog has long been unable to adapt to and get used to this kind of life, and after holding it for two months, he always wants to find something to do.
In the past two months, every time he arrives, his soul will still enter that unknown space, but for some reason, Goudan always feels that he is in that unknown space, and he has become more and more comfortable, no matter what kind of strange beast he faces, he is no longer as difficult as before.
Since having such an adventure in the small mountain village, Godan's physical ability has made great progress, coupled with the trials he participated in in this Cloud Calling Sect, it has made his strength to a higher level, although until now it is not comparable to those disciples who have been cultivated by the famous and decent sect for nearly ten years, but compared to before, he has become much stronger.
It wasn't until the next two months that the battle in the unknown space was no longer satisfying, and he wanted to find some excitement in his life.
After all, if he really wants to waste a full year here, it is not a rational thing, and because of this, he doesn't know what the reason for Qingmen to let them do chores for a year is, and he wants to break his head, and he doesn't know why.
"Hmm...... I don't know if there is any opportunity to climb the mountain now, go to the other peaks of the Zhaoyun Sect to take a look, how about it, it is much better than being trapped in this small hut. One night, Dogan thought so.
Now that the time has just passed two hours, it is already the second half of the night, and on this day, the dog Dan returned from the unknown space faster, because of the growth of his own strength, it is not easy to deal with the strange beasts in those spaces, not to mention that it is not much different.
Because of this, he used to be able to come back until dawn, but now, he can always enrich the time of dawn a few hours ago, and return to the real world.
It's just that when I come back every night, either at that time, Tiezhu is still working hard in advance to do the work that needs to be done tomorrow, or I hear the snoring of the big boss, or the dream of the bamboo pole, at that time, it is obviously very difficult for the dog to sleep peacefully.
Fortunately, after returning to the real world in the unknown space, the dog's physical strength will still be replenished to a certain extent, even if it is insomnia, it will not affect the dog's own state, which is obviously very good.
The season is close to midsummer, at the foot of the mountain in this palm-sized small hut, even in the dead of night, it will still feel hot, Goudan looked at the other three people sleeping on the same straw mat, thought for a while, then got up and walked outside the hut.
"There is really no joy in daily labor. Not long after walking, under the moonlight, the dog came to the brook, and thought as he walked along the stream.
Before, he hadn't cared too much about the true intentions of the Qing Sect Master, but until now, it wouldn't make much sense to wait.
Some time ago, Goudan had taken advantage of the dead of night to walk to the location of the bone ladder, here, at night, there was no one to guard, at least at the foot of the mountain, there was not a single figure.
After all, the guards near Zhaoyun Mountain are very strict, and it is almost impossible to sneak into this place, not to mention, even if there are people with bad intentions who come here, it is difficult to climb the mountain through the bone ladder in a short time.
When he came to the bottom of the bone ladder before, Goudan just wanted to pass by here and go to the stream to play in the water, but when he walked to the side of the first step, he could clearly feel that even if it was only the first step, the pressure on it was comparable to more than five hundred steps.
This surprised the dog, and he felt it for a few seconds, and found that it was not his delusion, but that it was really happening, which made him feel incredulous.
He hadn't heard that the pressure on this bone ladder would become even greater, I am afraid that even some senior inner disciples were completely ignorant of this matter, let alone dogs and others.
Dog Dan doesn't know why the pressure on this bone ladder suddenly increases, but this matter can undoubtedly be regarded as a good thing for him now, and he can use this bone ladder to kill a while.
That night, Goudan began to climb the mountain again, but the difficulty of this second climb was far more difficult than when he first climbed the mountain two months ago, when he only climbed to the hundredth floor or so, he had already done his best, sweating profusely, his limbs were weak, and he could only lie on the ground and gasp for breath.
This made the dog's heart even more shocked, the increase in the difficulty of this bone ladder far exceeded his previous imagination, such a magnitude, compared to two months ago, it can almost be said that it is so much in the sky and in the ground.
The interval between almost every step has an increase of about 20% of the steps on the previous floor, and by the time it reaches about 100 floors, it is almost as difficult as the previous climb.
In other words, if you want to climb the mountain again at this difficulty, it will be more than 10 times more difficult than before.
But every time Goudan continues to climb, he will clearly feel what changes are happening in his body, not only physical changes, this feeling, even when he was in the unknown space, he did not notice, which made Goudan feel very surprised.
He felt that something was going to be opened up in his body, not only the enhancement of the physical body, but he finally began to be able to feel the aura between heaven and earth, although this feeling was like nothing, and the qi was like a gossamer, but compared to the past, for the dog, there has been great progress.
Previously, his realm had been trapped in the last of the three realms of body refining, and these three realms also corresponded to the three major mountain trials of the Cloud Calling Sect, until now, Goudan felt that it was finally possible for him to break that limitation.
Once the dog can feel the aura of heaven and earth, further, he will be able to start trying to use the aura of heaven and earth, so that he can start to introduce the aura into his body and become a real monk.
This is also the purpose of Goudan's original desire to worship in Zhaoyun Mountain, but he didn't expect that now, his body has finally begun to undergo this kind of change, which makes Goudan surprised, even in the unknown space, he doesn't feel like this.
He knew in his heart that if he could really successfully climb the mountain under such pressure, he would be able to become completely sensitive to the aura of heaven and earth.
