Chapter 4 The Woods

Yuntai Mountain, refers to the headquarters of Xuanmen, every time the cloudy weather, Yuntai Mountain will be covered by thick white fog, the top of the mountain is higher than the clouds, as if the clouds are used as a platform, the scenery is beautiful.

It is not only the headquarters of Xuanmen, but also the first mountain in this state, before Xuanmen did not settle here, every year there are a lot of literati and scholars who come to visit, leaving a lot of famous beautiful texts, everyone along the way, just the unique scenery Zhou Xingyu saw no less than twenty, although he is only a beginner in writing, but also vaguely able to feel the inscription conveyed by the Shen Bo beautiful.

The main peak of Yuntai Mountain is called Lion Rock, along the mountain body of Yuntai Mountain, although the road is quite steep, but it is quite flat, but when you arrive at the main peak Lion Rock, the drop instantly changes abruptly, as if the heavenly man has split a complete mountain peak into two halves with an axe, the middle is a huge abyss that is bottomless, if people accidentally fall, they can only pray for a good fetus in the next life.

It is precisely because of this that the Xuanmen sect hall is set here. Over the years, the Xuanmen Gate has suffered countless disasters, and finally relied on the steep terrain of Lion Rock to survive.

Zhou Xingyu and the others followed Elder Li closely step by step, and even Wang Ye, who was giggling along the way, was quiet at the moment. On the way here, Elder Li had instructed that if he acted indiscriminately in Yuntai Mountain, he would be killed by the secret sentry in the door, and he would be counted as deserving of it.

"Elder Li, you can be regarded as coming back, and this trip is going well."

"Don't mention it, next time this kind of tiring work just calls an inner disciple or Dharma protector to go, there is no bullshit all the way, and my butt hurts from the hurry." Elder Li grumbled.

"It's not that the wolf cubs in the Red Refining Sect don't stop, otherwise you don't need to make a move, and only if you are a warrior like you, the other party will not dare to act rashly." The middle-aged man said in a flattering compliment.

"Your surname is Yu, right, send these boys to the door smoothly, and I can be regarded as successfully completing the task assigned by the door master, and you can handle the rest of the matter yourself." By the way, this is Wang Ye, my nephew, you arrange it for me. Elder Li pointed at Wang Ye and said, paused and pointed his finger at Zhou Xingyu beside Wang Ye.

"This is Zhou Xingyu, you can arrange it too."

After speaking, Deacon Yu, who couldn't stop nodding yes, walked straight to the top of the mountain.

Seeing Elder Li's figure disappear, Deacon Yu's gaze turned to Zhou Xingyu and the other teenagers, and his waist, which had been slightly bent before, instantly straightened up.

"Next, take your things, and I'll send you to the Golden Scale Courtyard for a night, and participate in trials with the others every day."

Deacon Yu said aloud, his tone was very flat.

Hearing Deacon Yu's words, Zhou Xingyu turned around and wanted to walk towards the back of the carriage, but who knew that before he could take a step, Deacon Yu trotted all the way over.

"Brother Zhou, where can you do this little thing yourself, I'll come, I'll come." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wang Ye on the side, and asked flatteringly: "Young Master Wang, where is your luggage, leave it to me, I was about to send you to the Golden Scale Courtyard, just on the way." ”

"Well, the biggest package at the back of the carriage is mine, and it contains the clothes and snacks that my mother prepared for me, be careful when you move it, if it is damaged, be careful that I will go to my uncle-in-law to sue you. By the way, the small bag next to my luggage belongs to Ah Xing, you took it by the way, be careful, do you know? ”

"Yes, yes, I will definitely be careful, Young Master Wang can rest assured." After saying that, he trotted all the way to the carriage.

Zhou Xingyu touched his nose, and he was a little reluctant to go, so he wanted to help, but who knew that he was caught by Wang Ye.

"You stop, don't move, I'll take care of you when I say it's Xuanmen, your brother Ye is not screaming in vain" Wang Ye suddenly whispered in Zhou Xingyu's ear: "Don't go and make trouble, believe it or not, if I don't let Deacon Yu get my luggage, he won't want to sleep well recently." You can just follow Brother Ye and me with peace of mind. ”

After speaking, Wang Ye patted Zhou Xingyu's shoulder.

I don't know why Zhou Xingyu suddenly felt that the young man in front of him seemed to be a little different.

After a while, Deacon Yu's figure appeared in front of the two of them, Wang Ye's luggage was more than a hundred pounds, but Deacon Yu held it in his hand, just like a book, and there was no reluctance.

"Young Master Wang, let's leave now?" Deacon Yu asked Wang Ye in a warm voice.

"Well, let's go, I'm tired after so long on the road." Wang Ye waved his hand casually and replied.

"Everyone else takes their own salutes, and you all follow me, if you accidentally make a mistake and fall into the trap of the door, don't blame me for not warning you." Deacon Yu greeted the other children and took the lead in thinking about walking away.

After a while, everyone came to the top of a small mountain peak, and in front of them was a rather elegant courtyard, in which the houses were made of blue bricks as a whole, and the roof was small pieces of dark gray glazed tiles.

After skillfully arranging the others, Deacon Yu led Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu to a delicate courtyard, and arranged water and food for the two of them before leaving.

"Ah Xing, you should also rest early, tomorrow's trial will not be easy for you, I will also go to rest." After Wang Ye finished speaking, he walked towards the master bedroom angrily.

"Okay, Brother Ye." Zhou Xingyu nodded and walked towards his bedroom.

Along the way, everything went smoothly, and nothing bad happened, but the long-distance travel was tiring, and even a practitioner like Wang Ye couldn't stand it, let alone Zhou Xingyu, at this time, he couldn't wait to find a place to sleep beautifully.

Lying on the soft big bed, the incense burner burned with soothing incense, Zhou Xingyu soon fell asleep, a night of good dreams, the next day Zhou Xingyu changed his pants and walked towards the living room of the small courtyard.

Deacon Yu didn't know when he had arrived in the small courtyard, and he was standing respectfully behind Wang Ye at this time.

Wang Ye sat at the table, the table was a light breakfast, beckoned Zhou Xingyu to come over for breakfast, the two followed Deacon Yu towards the meeting point, and after meeting the other teenagers, under the leadership of Deacon Yu, they soon came to the front of a forest.

The woods were now full of people.

It didn't take long for several more waves of people to come.

Seeing that the teenagers who participated in the trial had arrived, an elderly senior member of the Xuanmen Sect stood up from the crowd.

I saw him walk up to everyone and say aloud: "Everyone who participated in the trial has listened, in this trial, as long as you follow the mark all the way and reach the top of the opposite cliff before noon, even if you are qualified, those who are qualified will automatically become the outer disciples of the Xuanmen, and you can choose a book to practice in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion." ”

As he spoke, the old man's hand pointed to a mountain peak not far away.

"It's boring, it's like this every year, hey. Ah Xing, I'll take the lead later, you have to work hard, don't fail. Hearing the old man's words, Wang Ye pursed his lips and said to Zhou Xingyu.

"Brother Ye, don't underestimate me, I'm not weak." Zhou Xingyu replied, but looking at Wang Ye's expression, he knew that Wang Ye didn't believe it at all.

"It's safe, in short, come on, in the future, you will walk with me in the rivers and lakes, I will eat meat and you will drink soup, and when the time comes, you Brother Ye and I will sleep with the most beautiful woman, and the second most beautiful will be left to you."

Woman?

Is this thing as good as lotus leaf chicken?

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Zhou Xingyu's head was stunned, and an idea instantly popped up.

"Little virgin." Looking at Zhou Xingyu, who was a little stunned, Wang Ye muttered softly, and stopped caring about him.

"By the way, my surname is Yue, if you are lucky enough to become a disciple of my Xuanmen in the future, you can call me Yue Protector, and the trial will begin, you can go." Don't be afraid, do your best, these brothers will follow you and protect you. After the old man explained the rules, he announced.

As soon as Yue Protector's words fell, a young man who couldn't hold back quickly ran forward, and Wang Ye was among them.

"Ah Xing, see you at the top of the mountain!"

The figure turned into an afterimage, and Wang Ye disappeared in an instant.

Of course, along with the departure of the teenagers, there was also a man in green clothes.

Presumably this is the senior brother that Yue Protector said.

Zhou Xingyu thought in his heart, turned around and walked behind him, only to see that there was also a senior brother in green clothes behind him.

The figure is slender and long, there is a faint scar on his face, he is holding a long sword in his arms, his face is flat, and he looks like he is not going to enter, standing motionless behind Zhou Xingyu. Although he knew that the other party would not hurt him, Zhou Xingyu still couldn't help but be a little scared.

Not daring to linger longer, Zhou Xingyu raised his steps and walked towards the woods in front of him, his speed was not slow.

After many years of going into the mountains to chop wood, he naturally knows that the most important thing in climbing the mountain is to last, and those teenagers who used all their strength at the beginning can certainly distance themselves from other people for a short time, but with the huge consumption of physical strength, they will only fall to the ground faster, and finally fail the trial.

The whole forest was slightly tilted, Zhou Xingyu bent down slightly, and walked forward step by step, although it was not fast, but because it had been moving forward at a steady speed, it was not far away from the others. Just a tenth of the way forward, Zhou Xingyu saw more than a dozen children lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

Zhou Xingyu shook his head, these people are not to mention climbing to the top of the mountain, even if it is difficult to get out of the woods.

One-fifth, one-third.

As the road became farther and farther, after a long trek, Zhou Xingyu's physical strength was rapidly depleted, at the beginning, he could still bend over and rely on the strength of his legs to move forward, but now, every step he takes, he must use the strength of his arms, and he has to pull the roots of the tree with his hands to move forward.

When he was two-thirds of the way through, Zhou Xingyu took the time to look at the senior brother behind him, only to see that the other party was still following behind him with a calm face.

Feeling the other party's gaze looking at him, Zhou Xingyu didn't dare to stay, looked at the bamboo forest not far ahead, was shocked, and walked over.

Not long after, Zhou Xingyu came to the bamboo forest, a force was born out of thin air, Zhou Xingyu quickly rummaged in the bamboo forest, and soon two bamboo shoots about the same size as his arm appeared in front of him, Zhou Xingyu sat on the ground, picked up one and signaled to the senior brother behind him, the other party just shook his head.

At this time, it is March, and although the bamboo shoots are not growing enough, they can already be eaten.

didn't care that the bamboo shoots were not cooked, Zhou Xingyu devoured two tender bamboo shoots. Thanks to the miraculous effect of "Fetal Breath", Zhou Xingyu's physical strength quickly recovered after a while. Seeing that noon was getting closer and closer, he didn't dare to delay too much, Zhou Xingyu stood up and walked forward quickly, there was not much left in the distance, and it didn't take long for Zhou Xingyu to walk out of the woods smoothly.

At this time, the original trial team of four or five hundred people, only about fifty people were still holding on, and the others had already given up.

As for Wang Ye, Zhou Xingyu hasn't seen him until now, and he must have far surpassed himself.

He wasn't worried about the other party, you had to know that Wang Ye was only one step away from Dou Shi. If nothing else, he will be the first to take the first place this time.
