The further they went, the more and more climbers were outpaced. The slope of this climbing path is almost the same, unless you retreat to the trails on both sides, there is no place to rest, you can only keep climbing. This is already a plateau, and it is difficult to breathe the higher you go.

Huwa and Pan Gu didn't feel anything, but Hanxiong and the others gradually felt a little tired despite their supernatural cultivation. Two of the people in the team didn't plan to succeed in reaching the summit within the specified time, but just wanted to experience it, so they took the initiative to flash to the side to rest, planning to take a breath before continuing to climb the mountain.

Huwa asked Hanxiong, "You're sweating, do you need to rest for a while?"

Hanxiong shook his head and said: "I heard that every year, there are more or less ordinary people who have no supernatural cultivation to reach the summit, they are not only born with strong physique, but also have a tenacious and tenacious mind, most of them are tired and half dead after reaching the top, but they have not stopped on the road. As long as you stop and take a breath, the momentum will be relaxed. ”

Xiao Sa also gasped slightly: "Every year, many monks set foot on the Ascending Heaven Path, and half of them can't reach the summit before noon, not because they can't do it, but because they only planned to come to join in the fun, and they don't want to be so tired." Running out of spirit is a monk's taboo, and they are not willing to be exhausted just to watch a lively show. ”

Hanxiong said with great concern: "Little sprinkle girl, don't talk too much. Climbing on the plateau, talking is also very laborious. I see you're panting so much, why don't I give you a hand?"

Xiao Sa: "You help me, aren't you also panting?"

Hanxiong wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "I am strong, and I don't lose my strength." ”

Xiao Sa: "This is not a fight with people, climbing such a high mountain, the stronger you grow, the harder it will be." ”

At this time, Huwa reminded: "Adjust the spiritual qi and operate naturally, and the breath is harmonious between steps, which is also a kind of cultivation." ”

Xiao San's cultivation is higher than that of Hanxiong, but mana and body are two different things. It is necessary not only to look at the innate physique, but also to look at the foundation of cultivation in the second realm. And mountaineering is not a battle with anyone, unless you cultivate to break through the five realms and master the art of imperial form, you still have to look at your body and endurance for a long distance. Before reaching the top of the mountain, Xiao Sa finally let Hanxiong help him go.

Huwa surpassed many people along the way, and he also saw that many people kept climbing, although their speed was getting slower and slower, showing their superior physical strength and endurance. Sensing the fluctuations of his divine qi, most of them actually cultivated the Pioneer Spirit. Some of them have already practiced martial arts.

Huwa walked on the path to the sky, and suddenly figured out the intention of the general Wufu back then - why did there be such a rule on the Wufu Hill?

This path to heaven was not intended for monks like Hanxiong, but for all the warriors who had practiced the spirit of opening the mountain in Ba Yuan. As far as Huwa knows, very few people can get out of the daily training environment of the military camp and insist on cultivating the mountain opening strength on their own, and even fewer people who have cultivated martial arts. As for the monks who have already entered the initial realm and have been able to cultivate, of course, they will not go back to cultivating the thankless martial arts.

However, the kung fu of Kaishan Jin was first brought into Bayuan by General Wufu and taught by him to the guards around him. Even Lu Wuding, the ancestor of Lu Village. The pioneering spirit he cultivated was also learned from General Wufu back then. That is, in the eyes of that Takeo general. All those who cultivate the strength of the mountain in Ba Yuan are the descendants of his kung fu. There is no difference between the outlines of the city or even the clans, and in the era of General Takeo, Ba Yuan certainly did not divide into the five countries it is today.

It is certainly difficult for ordinary people to step on the path to heaven within the specified time. It is even more difficult to cultivate martial arts on Wufu Hill. However, there are Wufu Hills who do not refuse to come here to climb the mountain every winter solstice, and those people are the descendants of General Wufu who left in the world. If they become the miscellaneous disciples of Wufuqiu, they will have the hope of stepping on that long rope in the future and becoming official heirs.

When Huwa thought this, the straight and steep mountain road under her feet had come to an end. Another boulder appeared in front of him. A large sword was stuck in the boulder, almost exactly as seen at the foot of the mountain. Behind this boulder there is an open square, at the other end of the square. In the distance, you can see the buildings in the mountains.

The end of this road is not the peak of the mountain, but to a slope that has been artificially carved out at the top, which is where the disciples of Wufuqiu usually live and live. At this moment, there is still a while before noon, and there are still people who have successfully reached the summit, and some people who have come here and immediately lie on the ground and are almost paralyzed from exhaustion. Those who can still stand and pant are basically monks like Hanxiong and Xiao Sa, and some have already sat down to breathe.

There are many Wufuqiu disciples here, not only can you see from the color of their clothes, but each of them carries a long sword behind their backs. Ignoring the monks who were sitting in meditation, they stepped forward to help those who were limp to the ground, first gave them a small sip of hot water, and gave each of them a pill. This is an elixir that restores the body and rejuvenates the qi and blood, otherwise their body will have problems.

By noon, more than 100 people had successfully reached the summit. Huwa took a cursory look, and there were more than 80 of them who were monks from all over Bayuan who came to see the excitement. As for the ordinary people who really wanted to become miscellaneous disciples and had successfully climbed the mountain, there were less than 20 of them, and more than half of these more than 10 people had cultivated to the realm of martial arts.

Huwa secretly said in her heart, "Why are you so a little person?" Unexpectedly, the two Wufuqiu disciples next to her whispered: "There are a lot of people this year, and the junior fourth elder will definitely be very happy!"

In addition to the sect leader Mr. Jiansha, there are also four elders in Wufu Qiu, who are all masters of the six realms and above, and each holds a martial arts sword. The fourth elder is the person in charge of naturalization who is responsible for opening the mountain gate on the winter solstice every year, he was ranked last among the brothers when he was young, everyone called him Little Four, and now he has become an elder, and everyone still habitually calls him Little Four Elders.

The tiger baby was looking around, where was the little fourth elder, and what was the martial arts sword he was carrying? At this moment, there was a melodious sound of gold and iron, like a sword strike and a bell. It's noon, the Ascending Trail is closed, and those who are still on the road should not continue to climb up, please retreat to the side path and go down the mountain.

The people who were still resting also stood up, only to see those Wufuqiu disciples with long swords on their backs already lined up in two columns and saluted into the air. A sword light flew from the bottom of the mountain, landed in front of everyone and turned into the shape of a man, and a long sword was already in the scabbard behind his back.

It turned out that this person was the fourth elder of Wufu Hill, and Huwa had seen him when he was down the mountain, but he didn't pay much attention to it when he was in the crowd. At first glance, the man's appearance is about forty years, with curly hair and a beard, which makes him look a little rough. But if he looked closely, if he had shaved his beard and combed his hair neatly, he would have been more youthful and delicate.

This junior fourth elder may just feel that his appearance is too young and delicate, and he does not quite fit the image of the elder on Wufu Hill, so he deliberately made this more bold look. But no one dared to laugh at him, because the Fourth Elder was indeed one of the world's masters with superb cultivation.

The four elders stood still in the square, and there was not much nonsense, and then they saluted to everyone: "Thank you for coming from thousands of miles to climb the peak on the winter solstice, this is to give me the face of Wufu Qiu! May I ask if any of you are willing to stay on Wufu Qiu as a miscellaneous disciple? As for the rules of Wufu Qiu, I don't need to say more at this moment. As long as you stay, you will know more about it later. ”

The monks only returned the salute and did not say anything, while the strong men who had reached the summit responded loudly that they had come to become miscellaneous disciples. The Fourth Elder was taken aback, and looked at the monks in surprise, because Huwa and Hanxiong had already crossed the crowd at the same time, and replied loudly, "I am willing to stay as a miscellaneous disciple!"

Look at the tiger baby next to a small flower dog, also wagging its tail there.

Although many monks from various sects have successfully reached the summit over the years, it is just a matter of getting over the excitement, and it is rare to see anyone who really stays as a handyman. There are cultivators who can set foot on the peak of the trail within the specified time, and they should all have a relatively noble status in their respective hometowns, who would come to suffer this for no reason? All the disciples of Wufuqiu looked at each other.

After all, the fourth elder is a master who has seen a big scene and has an identity, and the look of surprise is only a flash, and then he regains his calm, and walks over and asks Hanxiong: "Who are you, where are you from, and is what you said true?"

Hanxiong replied, "I am Hanxiong, a disciple of the Elder Sect of the Bamuro Kingdom, and I am willing to stay on the Wufu Hill as a miscellaneous disciple. The father of the family is also the sect master of the Changling Sect, and he has no opinion. ”

The junior fourth elder nodded and said, "Then you can stay as a handyman, if you can't stand it, you can go down the mountain by yourself, if you can't do it, you will be sent down the mountain." ”

Then he asked Huwa the same thing, and Huwa claimed to be a loose cultivator from the Northern Wilderness of the Xiangmuro Country. The junior fourth elder also nodded and said: "Over the years, there have also been many casual cultivators who have come to Wufu Hill, they already have supernatural cultivation in their bodies, and after cultivating for a period of time, they will go down the mountain and leave on their own, but there are very few people who have really become disciples of Wufu Qiu. If you're willing to stay, then try it. ”

Huwa said in a low voice: "Fourth Elder, I also brought a dog, can it stay with me?"

Then something more interesting happened, the fourth elder walked up to Pan Gu and asked seriously, "What's your name?"

Pan Wang screamed twice, and the Fourth Elder nodded with satisfaction: "Wangwang, since you came here before noon, if you want to stay, you can also become a miscellaneous disciple of Wufu Qiu." ”

The onlookers almost collapsed, the master on the Wufu Hill really counts, and the miscellaneous disciples not only accept the demon clan, but also the dogs! Pan Gu also somehow got a name called "Wang Wang", so in the future, on the Wufu Hill, all the miscellaneous disciples will have to call it Wang Wang's junior brother.

The four elders were clear-sighted, and then went on to ask the others the same question. Huwa and Hanxiong looked at each other and whispered at the same time, "Why did you stay as a handyman?" and the little sprinkler girl also said behind them: "What the hell are you two doing? Why do you want to stay here as a handyman disciple?" (to be continued......)
