Chapter 49: Stepping to the top
As the morning sun rises, the golden light of ten thousand rays of light suddenly reflects the snowy mountains in the distance.
Even the snow seemed to be slowly melting in the golden morning sun, and the microwave rippled.
This day is the day when the True Yang Sword Sect opens its mountain gate once a year to recruit disciples.
Early in the morning, those teenagers from all over the country who had been waiting impatiently walked out of the town in twos and threes, and marched towards Zhenyang Mountain in groups.
The children of the family in gorgeous clothes and light fur are naturally the ones who take the lead, call friends and friends, and swagger at the forefront of the team.
In the middle of the team are some children of ordinary people, among which there are more than a dozen girls in strong suits.
Although he has no intention of fighting, he is also in hot pursuit.
Wu Zhenfan took his ten-year-old sister's hand and slowly walked at the end of the long line.
Anyway, I can't compete with others, anyway, the exam that will climb to the top in a while......
However, he still wanted to give it a try.
Try again.
Not only for himself, but also for his sister who looks eager to be around him.
The qualifications of the two brothers and sisters are not good, nor are they bad, although they have been able to comprehend the aura of heaven and earth since they were children, they have not been able to enter the most basic realm of Taoism.
After all, there is a lack of teachings and guidance from famous teachers.
"Brother, I ate a big bowl of rice at Aunt Li's house just now! Aunt Li is so nice! She also sewed me a new pair of shoes!" The little girl looked up at her brother, a little apprehensive in her heart, and a little proud.
"Well, Zhenmei has always been the most well-behaved!" Wu Zhenfan lovingly stretched out his other hand and touched his sister's head.
"Brother, you won't care about me this year, will you go up the mountain first? When I climbed that wooden ladder in the Yanyu Building in Jiangnan the year before last...... You're taking care of me...... As a result, the two of us ...... in the end" Wu Zhenmei thought about it, blinked her big eyes, and looked at her brother beggingly: "I'm in the town these days, and when I have nothing to do, I went to ask those well-informed big brothers, I heard that the stone steps of the True Yang Sword Sect are so high! It seems to be much higher than the wooden ladder in the Yanyu Building!"
"Silly girl, how could my brother leave Zhenmei behind!" Wu Zhenfan looked down at his sister and smiled lightly: "If my brother gives up Zhenmei, my mother will definitely be unhappy if she knows about it." ”
"Brother......" Wu Zhenmei's big eyes were suddenly filled with countless crystal tears.
The two brothers and sisters were born in a family of apricot forests in Lingnan, and their father is a generation of Qihuang masters, who have a lot of experience in herb hunting and medicine. Eight years ago, the Central Plains suddenly entered a thousand-year prosperous era, and in order to make a pair of children become talented as soon as possible, my father went into the mountains alone to find elixir, and he didn't want to have no news from now on.
When the family changed dramatically, not only did the mother cry and be sad day and night, but the family situation naturally deteriorated, until it was finally destitute.
When his mother was dying three years ago, she took Wu Zhenfan's hand and told him over and over again that he must take care of his young sister.
He also shed tears and swore to his mother over and over again that he would take good care of his sister.
He has a lot of medical skills, but he can't cure his mother's illness...... Secret trouble...... There is no cure.
After his mother died, he led his sister out of his hometown and first went to Jiangnan Yanyulou, but he fell into the name of Sun Mountain because he took care of his sister. In desperation, I had to take my sister all the way north, although I was shy in my pocket, but I relied on my family medical skills to treat some villagers on the way, and I was able to get some broken silver and loose money, so I barely went all the way down.
"Brother, I've eaten a lot today, and I definitely won't hold my brother back!" Wu Zhenmei bit her lip and said.
"Well, didn't my brother already say it just now! Zhenmei has always been the most well-behaved!" Wu Zhenfan smiled faintly again.
He had promised his mother to take good care of his sister, and that was his vow.
Two years ago, when he was in the Smoke and Rain Building, he kept his oath.
He squeezed his sister's hand meaningfully...... It's like holding the hand of my mother when she was dying......
Spiritual practice is important...... But the oath is even more important!
Spiritual opportunities are precious...... But the oath ...... It's a Novan gold!
What's more, it's still a vow made in front of the dying mother!
If he abandons his sister, even if he can live forever in the end...... That doesn't mean you have to live with guilt and remorse forever!
Isn't it asking for your own suffering!
Yes, it is enough to have such a well-behaved and obedient sister.
As for whether or not you can learn from a teacher in the end, what does it matter?
In the past few years, he has taken his sister all the way, from south to north, almost through the entire Central Plains!
But the more he went, the more disheartened he became.
Suddenly entered the prosperous era, and the aura became abundant in the Central Plains...... It is not only the cultivation that becomes impetuous, but also the human heart.
Don't...... Is talent and bones more important than being honest and trustworthy?
He was always puzzled, and he was even more unconvinced!
But he's not the legendary one who doesn't obey practice.
He couldn't beat anyone.
Traveling thousands of miles and seeing thousands of things, I naturally feel a lot of emotion in my heart.
Later, he slowly thought about it a lot.
It is not easy for a person to live in a lifetime.
Sometimes life is short, but sometimes it seems to be a long life...... However, no matter how short a person grows, as long as he can live happily, it is enough.
As long as you can be happy, live once!
What do you want to ...... on your own What do you want eight sedan chairs and four troikas!
Just as the brother and sister encouraged each other, the person at the front of the line had already reached the bottom of the mountain.
True Yang Mountain, True Yang Sword Sect!
In front of the stone steps, there were more than a dozen young disciples with expressionless faces, Taoist robes and swords, and in the middle stood a burly Taoist with a long beard wearing a red Taoist robe and a bright yellow at the center of his eyebrows.
The face sinks like water, and he is not angry and self-assured.
The sun is real!
"Today is the day when this sect recruits disciples once a year, after the initial screening in the town the day before yesterday, you are all young people who can comprehend the aura of heaven and earth, and the entrance exam of this sect is to test how your roots and bones are to step to the top!" As if the scene in front of him had already been experienced countless times, Lieyang Zhenren did not talk nonsense, and glanced lightly at the hundred and ten energetic teenagers in front of him, and then turned his body halfway, pointed to the steep stone steps behind him straight up, and said slowly: " This stone step is a mysterious thing created by a senior of the sect, the better the root bones, the easier it is to climb; in the end, the higher the ranking, the more important and supportive the sect master will naturally be after entering; however, it ...... If any of them don't make it to the top of the mountain before sunset...... That is to have no chance with this sect. ”
When all the teenagers heard this, their eyes naturally lit up, and they were eager to try.
"Let's get started! Don't scramble, just follow the current queue! Those who stop and rest on the way, be careful not to get in the way. Lieyang Zhenren didn't bother anymore, with a flick of his long sleeves, more than a dozen disciples behind him immediately gave way to both sides, and dodged a straight stone staircase behind him.
When all the teenagers heard this, they all wanted to rush up immediately!
At this time, there is no difference in identity or status between them, only the desire for spiritual practice!
However, the real person of the sun was close in front of them, and the teenagers had no choice but to endure themselves in the end, barely maintaining the order of the arrangement, and rushing up in rows.
"Oops!" A young man in Chinese clothes, who was originally at the front of the queue and had a somewhat thin figure, just wanted to climb with a move, but he didn't want to be stepped on by the person behind him, and just wanted to scold, he secretly glanced at the expression on the face of the real person who was like water, and immediately thought that he was unlucky and did not move.
"Oops!" another young man strode up the first stone staircase, as if he had suddenly been swayed by a gust of wind, and if it weren't for the crowd of people behind him, he would have rolled down in a bone!
You push and push, scramble, and people turn on their backs, and they are in a mess.
Lieyang Zhenren's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he didn't realize it.
He had already seen too many of these things.
Back then, he was not the same!
The road of cultivation is close at hand, looking at the peak, and the heart is surging!
In front of these young people from all over the world who came from afar, looking at the famous sect of the mountains at this moment, it was as if the gold list was about to be inscribed with their own names, which one of them could still maintain a normal heart!
As long as there is no big mess, let them go crazy!
People don't go crazy and mess with teenagers.
The real man of the sun sighed.
But...... Something always seems to be wrong......
The world in front of me has suddenly entered the prosperous age...... Is it chivalry, or is it a genius? Which is more important?
It is said that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves...... But...... Why don't we see some like-minded young people holding each other up together?
Just like the ...... He was like those enthusiastic juniors...... Like-minded, hand in hand!
Three years ago, in front of the Hanging Pavilion, they were the chivalrous disciples who sacrificed their lives for Jindan!
"Should talent be supreme, or should chivalry?" Lieyang Zhenren shook his head in distress, and the backs of those junior disciples who were gradually drifting away slowly flashed in his heart, and a pair of old eyes slowly moistened.
"Brother!" Looking at the teenagers who were swarming up the stone steps, Wu Zhenmei was so anxious that she pulled her brother's sleeve.
"There's no hurry. If you go and fight with them now, you will spoil the beauty. Wu Zhenfan was motionless. It wasn't until the first hundred and ten teenagers had climbed the steep stone steps one after another that they took his sister's hand and walked forward slowly.
Wu Zhenmei has short calves, and with the help of her brother, it took a lot of effort to finally climb to the first level!
"Brother, this stone staircase is so strange...... Stepping on it is like stepping on a wave that sways from side to side...... The resistance seems to be a few points greater than the wooden ladder in the Yanyu Building!" At the beginning of the first step, the young Wu Zhenmei was already timid.
"It's so beautiful, don't look up, just look at the stone steps at your feet. We go up step by step, not in a hurry. Wu Zhenfan did not have a trace of anxiety on his face, and said patiently: "Don't be afraid of the real beauty! Move all the strength of your body to your legs and feet! Go up step by step! True beauty will definitely be able to do it!"
"Well, brother, don't worry!I will definitely work hard!" With the support and help of her brother, Wu Zhenmei worked hard to move up, and at the same time looked back at Lieyang Zhenren with a weak heart.
The real person of the sun did not move, his back was still the same, as if he was unconscious.
Although he didn't look back, he knew the situation of the two brothers and sisters behind him.
"Well, it's not bad...... It is for honesty, and it is for bravery. Lieyang Zhenren nodded approvingly, but he couldn't help but think of Qu Dengtian six years ago......
Even if it's hard to climb to the sky, we have to make great strides!
But if he wants to ascend to the sky in one step, how easy is it! Especially when he encounters the harmful fruit that kills people and does not pay for their lives!
"Hey, I was also confused for a while, seeing that Qu Dengtian had excellent talent, I even moved my heart to love talent, and wanted to accept him as a personal disciple, if it wasn't for the fact that the victim Guo was next to him coldly and broke the key ......" Lieyang Zhenren thought about it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and shook his head helplessly: "Hey! It's really old, it's useless! Eight years ago, he suddenly entered the prosperous era...... Don't say that people in the world are impetuous, even ...... They have almost forgotten most of the heroic, righteous and passionate blood of their youth!"
