Chapter 20: Phase II

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, for unknown things, prepare in advance, and deal with it when the time comes, rush forward in confusion, ten lives are not enough to die.

"This is the second stage of the road to the clouds."

Taking a sip of the clear spring, Xiang Yunfei smiled indifferently and said, "There will be deaths, and many people will die."

Zhou Mou didn't say a word when he heard this, that there is a practice that is immortal, not to mention anything else, just the human race lives in this heaven and earth, fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, fighting with the spirit beasts on the reckless land, fighting with the gods, demons, immortals and Buddhas of the other world, there is an immortal one day? The amount of blood shed every day is enough to turn into a sea of blood.

Even in a world like his previous one, people die every day, some die of hunger, some die of freezing in the winter, and some die on the road to make a living.

"Based on the information I heard in the family when I came, this second phase seems to be related to the change of seasons."

Xiang Yunfei said: "The ancestors of our human race established the imperial court, established the sect, and consolidated the clan, not for their own selfish desire to dominate one side, but to attack the hundred clans, so that our human race will be passed on to future generations."

"Now it is the time of the spring equinox, our human race is busy farming, stockpiling grain and grass, and the same is true for foreign races, but some races should still be dormant at this time, and the goal of Wuji Sect at this moment should be the ...... of the hundred races in the heavens."

Flying to the peak, no return to the valley.

On the top of the mountain, which is tens of thousands of miles high, the aura of heaven and earth here is incomparably abundant, almost visible to the naked eye, and even turned into formless, flowing like water in a stream, roaming above the sky.

A white-haired old man sat on the cliff on the top of the mountain, the old man was too old, I am afraid that he has exceeded the end of the life span of mortals, even the eyebrows are long to cover his eyes, and the snow-white beard is more than a few feet long, but in his body, there is a vitality and a state of evergreen.

The height here is close to the sky, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the stars you see when you look up are the size of a millstone, and they are no longer like the fine sand seen on the flat ground, and from time to time there is a cold wind blowing, if ordinary people are afraid that they will be blown dry in less than half an hour, and the old man is not affected by the cold wind at all, and he has been sitting quietly like a rock for an unknown number of years.

In the middle of the night, a woman hiked to the top of the mountain, her face was beautiful, incomprehensible, graceful, wearing a black dress painted with a golden phoenix overlooking the nine heavens, between her gestures, revealing a noble and elegant temperament, like the queen in the deep palace of the mortal court, with the state of motherhood in the world, but in her crystal-like eyes, full of coldness.

"Master."

Coming behind the old man, the noble woman called softly, and at this moment, the coldness in her eyes eased a lot.

The old man who was called her ancestor suddenly woke up from a big dream, slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then shook his head and sighed, "Who is the first to realize the big dream, I know it in my life~"

A smile appeared on the old man's wrinkled face, "It's been ten years of sleep, idiot, since your master is gone, you have inherited his temperament, and if you come to disturb me every ten years, can't you let me sleep for a hundred years at a time." ”

After ten years of sleep, this is simply a fantasy, and I am afraid that the most sleepy people in the world will be startled when they hear it, and their jaws will fall to their shoes.

"The master had an explanation before he went west, and he had to report the matter to the master once every ten years, unless the master was willing to move back to the holy realm, or travel the world." The noble woman said with a wooden face.

"It's all an old bone, my old arms and legs are still traveling the world, and when I go down the mountain, my feet are almost broken, your master's little rabbit cub, even if he dies, he will provoke the old man, and he will go for a lifetime, and let the old man sleep well at the last time, and sleep until he is old. Alas, that's it, if there are any interesting things recently, you can tell the old man. ”

When it came to the female master, the old man couldn't help but have some mood swings, and scolded him with his head and face, but in the end, his tone was a little lonely, but it was a pity......

"Yesterday, it was the opening of the Wuji Sect's road to ascending the clouds, and a girl with a gifted holy soul appeared, and she was also the most talented person in the Eastern Wilderness Southern Region in recent years."

The noble woman pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Wuji Sect, this era seems to have the favor of the mandate of heaven, the purple clothes of five hundred years ago, attack the shield of the other with its spear, the Chaos Hammer Dao, make everything impossible possible, today's Wuji Sect Master is also talented, the young emperor, the emperors once predicted, this person will be the first king of our human race in the past hundred years."

"Wuji Sect, ......"

The old man sighed with emotion, looked up at the dark night sky, and the ancient stars that radiated light seemed to fall into some kind of memory.

"However, this time I took my disciples to travel around the Wuji Sect, but I had an unexpected harvest." There was a solemnity in the noble woman's eyes, "There is a woman who is very similar to the physique you said, and I brought her back to the door. ”

The old man was shocked when he heard this, and the eyebrows that covered his eyes were blown away by the cold wind, revealing his eyes that were blooming with starlight, and these eyes seemed to contain infinite wisdom.

"It's a good thing, it seems that my old thing has to go down the mountain."

The capital of the Great Zhou.

In the depths of the majestic palace, a dark figure sat on top of the main hall, suddenly opened his eyes and looked to the south, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate thousands of mountains and rivers and see the place he wanted to see.

"Finally, let me wait for ......"

…………

In the early morning of the next day, the main streets of Gusu City were already overcrowded, with merchants with round and rich bodies, city guards in military uniforms and armor, dark-skinned peasants carrying hoes, and more young women with beautiful faces.

At this time, they are all crowded on the streets, with anticipation in their eyes, waiting for the arrival of today's protagonists.

"Grandpa, grandpa, aren't these people who want to participate in the path to the clouds? What's so much to see, it's none of our business if there are so many people coming to see, so why don't you let me go and play with Sakura! ”

In the crowded street, a naughty boy of about seven or eight years old was held by the old man next to him, and muttered unhappily.

The old man was over the age of six, but his body was quite strong, and even if the naughty boy tried to feed, he could not break free of his vigorous and powerful hands.

"Little things, don't talk nonsense!"

gave the naughty boy a fried chestnut, and the old man snorted and said: "The rise and fall of Wuji is not only the prosperity of Gusu City, but also the achievement of Gusu City by Wuji Sect, which has created the prosperity of Jiangnan and saved hundreds of millions of people from disasters and the fangs of foreign ghosts.

After a dish of fried chestnuts, the naughty boy seemed to be a lot more honest, covering his head with one hand, and tears were churning in his eyes.

I only heard the old man continue: "This is a festival that belongs to Gusu City, of course there are a lot of people, and I tell you, those who come to watch today, the businessmen are looking at business opportunities, identify the future children of the Wuji Sect, and cling to the powerful, the business will be much better, and even the business will be able to open up the trade route of the sect."

"Those well-dressed girls, your sister is also among them, there are not many cultivation roots, for those promising young people who can pass the road to the clouds, first leave a good impression in advance, if they can be seen, it is a step to the sky, and they will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, at least, in Gusu City."

"There are also those sergeants, many of them used to be scattered rangers, because they had received the favor of the Wuji Sect, so they volunteered to become the defenders of the City Lord's Mansion, patrolling the ghosts hidden in the mountains on behalf of the sect, but these people, more of the other sects and even the imperial court, are here to inquire about the news."

"And then there's us farmers."

The old man spoke, with a look of gratitude in his eyes, "Every three years, all the people of Gusu City will basically put down the things at hand and come to see with their own eyes the future of the Wuji Sect that has sheltered us for thousands of years!" ”

Thousands of years, ten thousand years, how long can mortals live? If there is no supreme elixir for longevity, it will only be a hundred years old, and even more will only live to seventy or eighty before dying.

And the Wuji Sect has existed for tens of thousands of years, and Gusu City has also been established for tens of thousands of years, sheltering many generations of mortals, how many generations of disciples, elders, and even the sect master of the Wuji Sect have thrown their heads, spilled blood, and suppressed nine heavens and ten earths, and no race within a radius of 100,000 miles dared to run rampant.

The people of the world are happy!

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

Suddenly, the crowd in front of them erupted into a shout, their voices trembled, and with irrepressible excitement, the grandfather and grandson immediately looked ahead.

I saw that under the leadership of Luo Tong and Ming Xue, a large group of young people walked in a hurry, looking at the black oppression, I am afraid that there are no less than tens of thousands of people, one by one with a smile on their faces that is difficult to hide, they have passed the ladder to the sky, and have a good cultivation root, even if they do not pass the road to the clouds in the end, they can start another stove and turn to the mountain gate.

Zhou Mou, Jiang Xinyan and Xiang Yunfei were also among them, the former looked around, and was slightly shocked in his heart, compared to yesterday, the number of people was directly reduced by half, the threshold of this Wuji Sect is simply not ordinarily high, and in the next second stage, I don't know how many people have to be eliminated.

Or rather, I don't know how many people will die.

His expression suddenly became a little complicated, and Zhou thought to himself that if he could successfully enter the Wuji Sect alive in the end, how many people would be left......

"In fact, those who are lower than the silver steel are not directly eliminated, there is one last chance to be able to worship the Wuji Sect, but it will be extremely difficult."

Seeing the worries in Zhou Mou's heart, Xiang Yunfei said slowly, the former didn't speak, just smiled helplessly, even those of them who are silver and steel and even purple gold talents are at risk of dying in this second stage, let alone those with mediocre qualifications.

"My feet are so sore."

After walking for more than an hour, without stopping at all, Xiao Nizi couldn't help muttering, crossing the entire Gusu City, Luo Tong and the two disciples of the Wuji Sect took them to the beach, and then stopped.

"It should be almost there."

Zhou Mou touched Jiang Xinyan's head, smiled slightly, and looked at the beach by the sea, where were the wooden boats docked, and the rippling sea in front of them, this second stage of the test should be to let them sail by boat.
