The nine-week half-mountain is surrounded by a nine-curved ramp, and the outer side is smooth and unobstructed, and there is even a little shallow landslide, as if you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff and fall into the endless ocean.

The mountain wall on the inside of the ramp is the key to this test.

From Lu Chaoshi's mouth, he learned that the two people standing in the ramp at this moment, facing the mountain wall, one named Du Xuanli and the other named Zhuang Degong, were the true disciples of the Xuanyuan Palace of Youhuan Sect who were about to marry in the near future.

In terms of cultivation, these two people are roughly in the middle of the Red Cloud Society. However, they did not participate in the small meeting on behalf of the Youhuan Sect, so the cultivation of these two people was naturally under the argument of Xiao Tianshi and Zhang Hong.

The two of them faced the mountain wall, and it was a shallow mural. The height of the mural is about 10 zhang, which is similar to the width of the ramp. Not only that, but this mural seems to coexist with the ramp, which also stretches endlessly, and surrounds the mountain with nine turns. It's just one horizontal, one vertical.

Gui Wuyi suddenly realized that the so-called "nine-week half-mountain" probably did not refer to the nine-and-a-half circumference ramp around the mountain, but precisely to the accompanying murals.

Du Xuanli and Zhuang Degong stood near the halfway point of the ramp in the fourth week, facing the wall and meditating.

This mural is all-encompassing. The painted objects include flowers, birds, fish, insects, landscapes, woods and stones, swords, guns, blades, and even large sections of calligraphy and seals. Not only that, but many ghost drawings generally have irregular scratch lines, straight or curved, deep or shallow, simple or complex, and are also mixed in.

But there is one, all these patterns are contained in the space of about five zhang in the upper part of the "mural", and the adjacent lower part is only delimited by two parallel lines five zhang apart, in which the abnormal smooth and smooth, like a peculiar vacant white scroll.

Du Xuanli moved first.

I saw a gray eight-sided square hammer suddenly appear in his hand, and with a shake of his wrist, his luck shook, and he smashed it into the mural. In the middle of the cliff, there is a pampas grass plant.

In the middle wall of the copper hammer, there is no imaginary rock cracking. Hearing only a crisp sound, the grass pattern of the grass plant was struck by a blow, and it quickly faded and thinned, and disappeared completely after an instant.

Visible through the clouds, Du Xuanlier showed joy. At the same time, he straightened his body, stretched his arms, as if freed from some extremely heavy shackles, and suddenly ran briskly along the ramp.

Originally, Du Xuanli was five or six hundred zhang before Zhuang Degong, but at this moment, he ran wildly for a while, and soon opened up the gap. In the blink of an eye, Du Xuanli was already more than a quarter ahead on lap four.

Of the more than 30 disciples of the Youhuan Sect, more than half of whom did not know Du Xuanli and Zhuang Degong, had the right to open their eyes at the moment, either watching the chess without saying anything, or saying something innocuous about it.

However, there are more than ten people who are like Lu Chaoshi, who are from a big clan and have some knowledge. Both Du Xuanli and Zhuang Degong seem to be quite familiar. At this time, you are talking about who is better.

Blameless and single-minded, while paying attention to the top of the nine-week half-mountain, while listening to their discussions.

I only heard one person: "I heard Elder Song say that Senior Brother Du and Senior Brother Zhuang can be ranked among the top ten true disciples below the age of 100. The comprehension of the two senior brothers in the "Xuanyuan Fundamental Great Precept Sutra" is at the level of 'eight changes', and it is difficult to distinguish between them. However, Senior Brother Du broke through the realm earlier, and his skills were a little ahead. ”

Another lean disciple chuckled in a low voice, "How long ago did you tell the story? I know that before March, several senior brothers who were on the verge of knot Dan had a competition, but it was Senior Brother Zhuang who came out on top. ”

......

On the mountain road.

At this moment, Zhuang Degong finally made a move, and he pulled out a short sword with a length of two feet from his sleeve.

Zhuang Degong did not attack the figures in the mural with a sword, as Du Xuanli did. On the contrary, this person stood under the pattern of a sheep's head and snake body, about five zhang wide "white scroll", the sword qi soared, and he actually used the sword as a pen to paint on the blank wall. With just two or three strokes, it outlines a vivid civet in the grass.

Looking at it without blame, this civet has many changes hidden in its brushwork.

The pattern is complete, and Zhuang Degong is also physically and mentally relaxed, as if a person who has been drowning for a long time suddenly breathes fresh air. Adjust your muscles and bones slightly, exert yourself hard, and also run quickly.

At this time, Du Xuanli had already stopped.

Zhuang Degong's running momentum was much more violent than Du Xuanli just now. It doesn't seem to be long before we can catch up.

Du Niansha is using the method of transmitting sound into the secret to introduce all aspects of the Nine Weeks and Mid-Mountains to Gui Wuyi.

Once you enter the ramp of the Nine Weeks Half-Mountain, you will be subjected to an inexplicable suppressive force and move upward, which is quite unfavorable. Obviously, the higher the climb, the greater the potential of the tester.

Those who can enter the eighth lap ramp are already outstanding talents who come out once in a thousand years.

And if you can break through to the ninth lap ramp, it is a heroic asset that comes out once in 10,000 years.

As for the nine weeks later, the suddenly steep "half-circle" mountain road is also known as the "Heavenly Hanging Avenue", and only forty-nine people have been able to climb this road for hundreds of thousands of years.

The total number of Heavenly Venerables born in the past 360,000 years is exactly the number of forty-nine people.

Gui Wuyi muttered: "With your powerful eyesight, it is confirmed that the battle of 'Catching the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger Fist' on top of the small meeting, the true disciples of the younger generation have done so far, and they have already seen the fire. Not to mention the 'Yuan Yuan's 'Heaven High Three Feet' secret technique, which is even more accurate. In the past nine weeks, there seems to be nothing special about it. ”

Du Niansha said: "No. This mountain has a unique use. ”

At this time, the square-faced young man next to Lu Chaoshi spoke: "Senior Brother Zhuang took courage and refinement as his heart when he was young. Today, if you don't give up the number of roads he is good at, you can see that he didn't intend to fight for one more step and a half on this mountain road. foolishly thought that Senior Brother Zhuang must have had other experience, so he dared to try it. ”

But because of his open-mindedness, Zhu is more optimistic about him. ”

Lu Chaoshi thought about the words of the square-faced young man for a long time, and finally nodded slowly in agreement.

The half-headed monk on Lu Chaoshi's right said, "No matter which senior brother can win, the qualifications of these two senior brothers are enough to climb the Six Weeks Mountain Road. In the future, the qualifications for advancing the Yuan Infant Quadruple are almost certain. The realm above the great power is ethereal, and I don't know how many heroic disciples are folded in it. In the future, we will be able to share the two senior brothers Du and Zhuang, and we will be able to live up to this life. ”

The young man surnamed Fang and Lu Chaoshi both nodded in agreement.

However, the young man who was slightly distant from the three of them and whose face was pale was originally motionless, but when he heard the three of them say this, he inadvertently frowned.

At this time, Du Niansha was telling the unique secret of the Nine Weeks and Mid-Mountains.

Although the combat power and foundation of each disciple are enough to be measured through the competition of the small meeting, the comprehension qualifications and the trinity of the Dao Foundation and the Dao Yuan, regardless of each other, can naturally be known.

However, even if the talents are similar in the path, there is another difference, which must not be overlooked.

It turns out that the path taken by cultivators is different from slow, sudden, and simple. From the monks who understand the heart of heaven to the martial artists in the mortal world. There is a category of people who have a lot of people: this generation has excellent understanding, extraordinary qualifications, and the process of their own cultivation is also invincible and courageous. However, if they are allowed to create new laws and establish sects, it will inevitably be difficult for them to be strong.

The other type of people not only cultivate themselves exquisitely, but also are more able to bring forth the new, make great achievements, and become a generation of grandmasters.

Hearing this, I am not to blame and watch Du Xuanli and Zhuang Degong who are chasing me on the top of the mountain, and I have an understanding.

Du Niansha continued: "The upper part of the murals of the nine-week Mid-Levels Ring Mountain is full of colorful patterns, while the lower part is completely blank. Therefore, it is also called the 'two-line book'. ”

"Nine weeks and two lines of books, broken and new. ”

"Those various patterns, each of which represents a method, rules, and Taoist opinions, together constitute the binding power of the Nine Weeks and Mid-Mountains. There are two ways to prove your potential. ”

"One is like Du Xuanli, which is called 'broken'. Knock those patterns down and shatter them completely. Each time a figure is broken, the restraint on oneself in the middle of the Nine Weeks will be lightened by one point. Naturally, it liberates the residual strength to walk upward. ”

"It's just that if you choose this method, the nine-week half-mountain test will be no different from the small meeting. ”

Gui Wuyi said: "Presumably, another method, like Zhuang Degong, is to 'stand' and create. ”

Du Niansha said: "Exactly." The Taoism contained in those mural patterns is simple and innovative, and if it is complex, it is definitely not beyond the comprehension of those who have just entered the Jindan realm. Two lines of book, two lines of book, one line blank, one line has been written, just like a pair of couplets with a vacant couplet. ”

"If you want to counteract the pressure it brings, in addition to destroying it directly, the more ingenious way is to create a new trace of Dao thought, which is completely balanced and offset with the original pattern, so as to receive the effect of yin and yang neutralization. ”

Gui Wuyi praised: "Wonderful." ”

Du Niansha added: "However, this is limited to the first nine turns of the mountain road. Have you seen the last steep 'Sky Hanging Avenue', because it is completely vertical, the frescoes and ramps have been merged into one. Where you walk is where the pattern of the 'two-line book' is. On this road, there is only the method of 'establishing', and the method of 'breaking' is useless. ”

"The first nine turns are the talents of a generation, and the sky hangs on the road, but it is the respect of the world. ”

"Now the picture drawn by Zhuang Degong will disappear in a short time, and the appearance of the white scroll will be restored. However, the handwriting of the forty-nine Heavenly Venerables on the Heavenly Hanging Dao is indestructible. ”

A long time ago, for the Nine Great Sects, the true monarch was endless, and even the right to cut the avenue was a great joy for the sect, who cares whether this great power is taking the path of conciseness and refinement, or the way of creative deduction and change. The vast majority of young disciples who came to the Nine Weeks Mid-Mountain to try each other also chose the simpler and more trouble-free method of "breaking".

Over time, the various factions gradually discovered that there was an irreplaceable value here. Especially as the 360,000 years are approaching, for the seven sects that have not yet completed the path of 'completing the path', it is even more important to measure the level of "creativity".

Nine weeks in the middle of the mountain, like Zhuang Degong, a try to 'establish' the law, only to become the first choice within the reach of the true transmission of all factions.

At this moment, Du Xuanli and Zhuang Degong have entered the sixth week of the door. Through the clouds and mist, it can be seen that the two of them are flushed, obviously close to their limits.

Du Niansha squinted at Gui Wuyi, and finally couldn't help but be eager to try.

It's almost time for the two of them to come out.
