"It's hell. Chang Feizhan sighed faintly: "Of course, that is also the ultimate dojo that war maniacs regard as a heavy hammer, although they say so, but war maniacs are just ordinary people after all, it is one thing to take the initiative not to take the initiative to accept punishment, and it is another thing to come back alive." So so far, no one has heard of a madman who would really use it as a testing ground. But since we're talking about seeking the path and serving in the school, I have to start with school-level sanctions, which are issued by the school and implemented by the members of the student council in accordance with the constitution, against individuals and groups that endanger the school's system. The student union itself does not have the right to make decisions, they only have the power to implement it in accordance with the constitution and campus regulations. The most common type of punishment is the one named ' According to the severity of the punishment, the length of service will be different, as short as only a few days, and as long as a hundred years, but there is no normal concept of time lapse in the space of seeking Daoya, which belongs to time and space independent of this plane, so the service will die but will not grow old, and there are many service members who die from years of labor and illness and suicide, but there is no case of death because of aging and overwhelmed and died. It is worth mentioning that no matter how long you have served in the "Seeking Daoya", the time and place of returning to school after completing the service will be the dormitory 24 hours after the service member has been punished. ”

Looking at the staggered figures in the distance who were forcibly escorted to the bitter boat, listening to the faint sound of crying, scolding and cursing, Chang Feibai was gradually infected by his brother Chang Feizhan's emotions, and for some reason, his mood became heavy.

Chang Feizhan looked at the ferry without saying a word, as if he had awakened some memories that had been hidden deep in his heart, and stared at it for a long time. When a group of bitter boats left the port, he lowered his eyes and sighed secretly, with a hint of loss in his tone, and said, "Let's go." ”

It is still walking around the mountain in one direction, the trend is gradually getting higher and higher, the school buildings along the way are becoming more and more dilapidated, and the street scene is becoming more and more desolate, although there are sparse young people haunting here, but from the clothes and living conditions do not look like school students at all, they are a group of dying people who are nesting in the slums waiting to rot, some people are lying on the side of the road and are dying, with more air and less air intake, like dead corpses, and some people are round with a pair of big eyes with jaundice, Standing on the side of the road with a big belly, he stared at Chang Feizhan and Chang Feibai like a puppet. Others were like old men in good spirits, babbling something incessantly, their eyes shining with a shuddering brilliance, like cursers in a frenzy, agitated, excited, and then ending it all with a gulp of blood splattered at the height of their emotions. But no matter what kind of people they are, they all have one thing in common: they are unclothed and skinny.

"This is one of the remaining shantytowns in the Seeking Dao Academy, don't try to help them, don't give charity, and don't look at them with pity to try to empathize and win favor," Chang Feizhan said to Chang Feibai, "They will kill you because of the smell of even a trace of wheat flour wafting from you, and they are the ones who eat even the same kind of food." ”

Chang Feibai muttered: "The Eliminator ......"

Chang Feizhan nodded, and then said: "Yes, the eliminator, the weak will eventually be eliminated by the laws of nature that the weak eat the strong, either they will be conquered by the strong, or they will slowly wait for death here." The cruelty of the Seeking Dao Academy does not stop there, these people are at least fortunate enough to choose how to die in their own lives, like those who are still struggling in the situation of others dominated, that is the infernal hell where life is worse than death. ”

After a long journey, Chang Feibai gradually got used to seeing the strange people who flocked to the side of the road from time to time, and occasionally there were a few hungry and crazy dry wood monsters who seemed to be unable to endure the torture of hunger, and rushed over with a wooden stick, but unfortunately, Chang Feibai did not move, and Chang Feizhan raised his hand and swung his sword down very decisively, and slapped these dry wood monsters who could only rely on instinct to think to the ground one by one, although there was no cruel picture of blood splashing on the spot, but Chang Feizhan said to Chang Feibai that this was more cruel than killing them on the spot, because most of them had completely lost the ability to stand up again after such a heavy blow from him, and they could only slowly starve to death on the spot, or be eaten by others.

Finally, Chang Feizhan and Chang Feibai arrived at the north side of Qiudao Mountain when the sun was about to set in the west. As the journey goes deeper and deeper, the terrain becomes steeper and steeper, and finally only the narrow plank road that spreads around the mountain remains. Looking up at the sky, the clouds are rolling and covering the sky, and the heavy clouds are rolling and rolling and stretching out, and they have been connected with the stormy waves, and the flying sand is whistling and the wind is surging. The climate here is very different from that south of the ferry, and it is extremely dangerous. The wooden frame of the stone railing of the plank road sways with the wind, the iron cable is thrown randomly, the huge copper bell hanging on it can not fall the weight of the iron cable, with the shaking of the iron cable and bumps on the stone steps and stone railings on the road, the sound of gold and iron collision is endless, but it is inevitable to be annihilated in this flying sand and wind howling.

Chang Feibai almost crawled on the plank road, which was much more embarrassing than Chang Feizhan's calm progress. If the iron rope is shaken, the big copper bell is whistling and agitating, and it will always be dangerously rubbed against the corners of Chang Feizhan's clothes and screams, if it is hit by this copper bell in the body, even if it does not fall into this monstrous tide, it will also fall into a miserable end of skin and flesh, broken bones and tendons, and once it loses its mobility, it will inevitably have to sit and wait for death. If it weren't for Chang Feizhan turning around and picking up Chang Feibai, it is estimated that this long road would have been crawling forward. About five miles away, the two entered a suspended pavilion, and only then did they temporarily avoid the copper bells that were smashed on the plank road.

Chang Feizhan stood up, facing the pavilion that would tremble at a glance, very heroic. A bronze giant sword with a dark ink color hanging beside Chang Feizhan without any borrowing force, floating up and down, very powerful. Looking at his brother's back, Chang Feibai lost his mind for a while, until Chang Feizhan said: "This is the Qiudao River on the north side of Qiudao Mountain, separated from Qiudao Academy by a mountain. As you can see, the river is so wide that the two sides of the river cannot see each other, and this is the place where the bitter boat must pass through to enter the bitter sea. Because the bitter boat has a strong anti-detective ability, standing on the plank road built along the river, it is impossible to detect the traces of the bitter boat, but the people on the bitter boat can see the people on the plank road of the mountain to seek the road clearly, whether it is waiting for the opportunity to come to intercept and kill the enemy with blank eyes or a friend who wants to pierce the eyes, all kinds of expressions will be clearly seen by the people on the bitter boat. ”

Chang Feizhan is still facing the outside of the pavilion, his posture is heroic, the standard figure of the model of the world's young heroes, but Chang Feibai gradually saw some clues, the faint difference in the chic back, but he was difficult to distinguish clearly, at this moment, Chang Feizhan continued: "Feibai, today is the first day you have spent in the Seeking Dao Academy, every day in the future, you have to work harder than today, whether I am by your side or leave you, you must work hard for graduation." This is not heaven or hell, this is the ultimate testing ground for you to carry out your beliefs, it doesn't matter who chooses you, what matters is what path you choose. The reason why I have shown you these places today is because in the future, if you persist in your heart and blood to seek the Tao, you will inevitably experience these things. Whether it is tribulation, experience, the frustration of the bitter crossing, the fear of seeking the Daochuan, the despair of the bitter sea and the malaise of the pursuit of the road will all be the wrought iron hammer that tempers the strong man of a generation, and choosing a more difficult path to reach the top will inevitably pay a heavier price. Feibai, we are not stupid, we are just unwilling to be ordinary. ”

Looking at Chang Feizhan who was still standing in the wind, Chang Feibai slowly sat up straight, the back of his brother in his eyes became more and more blurry and wet, and suddenly, Chang Feizhan shook his body, took a step apart with his legs, stood still, raised his breath and howled, and filled his ears with a loud voice. The singing voice is like the sorrowful and heroic voice of Qin, and it is still deafening in the roar of the angry wind of Jiang Tao: "Shanbei Road, looking at the river through." Hundreds of people, a thousand faces. Drunk all night in the golden nest, seeking the Tao for ten thousand years......"

Chang Feibai finally couldn't help but reach out and rub his damp eyes and blocked nose, he will never forget the moment when his brother howled out a sad song, there was clearly a trace of depression in the firm figure that supported him who seemed to be alone at this time, it seemed that he was so helpless and vulnerable, all the majesty seemed to be an illusion, Chang Feibai even vaguely saw the trembling of the back......

On the way back, the two were silent, one after the other, Chang Feizhan walked in front with a dark face, Chang Feibai lowered his head and stared at the shadow behind him and followed in a daze, without saying a word, as if he was thinking. When the two brothers arrived at the dormitory, it was nearly ten o'clock. Liu Lijian squatted on the side of the entrance hall of the dormitory, surrounded by black gas, and under the background of the night, it was really like an indispersible ghost entrenched here. This time, he still came to deliver food, threw down a plastic bag and turned away. Chang Feizhan handed the bag to Chang Feibai and explained a few words before turning around, and the relaxed expression that suddenly regained when he turned around became more and more natural with his unique confident smile, as if the heavy journey of the previous afternoon and the sad song of the evening had not been experienced, but the lonely and fragile back was deeply embedded in Chang Feibai's mind, and the back that pretended to be strong was like a lonely boat that would be subverted at any time in the strong wind and flying sand of the iron cable copper bell that hit the plank road, crumbling.

Chang Feibai also woke up from his thoughts just now after watching Chang Feizhan go away, looked up at the night sky, and said to himself secretly: "Brother, even if you are so strong...... Will it be fragile enough to be scarred?"
