Chapter 21: The Road to Heaven
Gu Yuchen took Ziyi to stand on the bamboo sword, and Lu Jin and the other four still used the willow leaf flying magic weapon with He Rui.
On the way, I met many monks who also went to the direction of the Yuansheng Immortal Gate, Lu Jin's side was a group of five people, there were many of them, and there were no monks who did not open their eyes to provoke, and there were no twists and turns along the way, and they soon arrived before the gate ban of the Yuansheng Xianmen Mountain.
There were already quite a few monks standing or sitting in front of the gate, and some went straight into the gate.
Different from the Yuansheng Sect, the Yuansheng Immortal Gate is more quaint, the gate pillar is made of unknown materials, smooth and smooth, full of aura straight to the sky, the high plaque has the word "Yuanshengzong", the dragon flying phoenix dance handwriting is elegant with majesty, it is said that this plaque is written by the ancestor of the mountain, the Yuansheng Sect wanted to take it away when he left, but this pillar and the plaque are like growing on the ground to take root, even if the Yuansheng Sect has many great powers together, they can't help it, so it was not taken away, and it was preserved in the Yuansheng Immortal Gate.
The scene inside the gate is different from the endless mountains that the Yuanshengzong looks at at a glance, behind the gate is a spacious stone road, which can accommodate more than a dozen people side by side, the stone road is very long, there is no end in sight, there are strange flowers and plants around, it seems to be chaotic, but in fact, it hides mysteries, and there is a kind of chaotic beauty.
"This is the way to heaven for the entrance of this sect, not a disciple of my sect, when you enter it for the first time, you will be forbidden to block your spiritual power, and you can only walk to the climbing platform at the top of the mountain, with a total of 12,999 steps, this is the first test to enter my door. Gu Yuchen introduced to a few people.
Although they had been mentally prepared, when Lu Jin and the four of them heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Blocking spiritual power, that is to say, they have to walk up step by step like mortals, although after cultivating, their bodies are much stronger than ordinary mortals, but it is still difficult to complete more than 10,000 steps.
Lu Jin and the others looked at each other, but they didn't say anything and waited for Gu Yuchen's next words.
Sure enough, Gu Yuchen paused, and said: "I can introduce the master for you, and the entry is not far from ten, but I send the master to attach great importance to this introductory trial, even if it is a young child who has entered my sect since childhood, and has reached a certain level of cultivation, he has to go through this road to heaven." ”
Gu Yuchen's meaning was obvious, that is, to tell them that if they entered the Yuansheng Immortal Gate through the back door, they might miss the attention of the high-level leaders of the Yuansheng Immortal Gate, and the hope of being accepted by real people and elders would be greatly reduced, which was to make their own choices.
After a while, He Rui spoke first, and he said: "Thank you Gu Daoyou for mentioning it, I will personally go through this introductory trial, but if I am unfortunate and can't pass this trial, I also ask Gu Daoyou to bother and maneuver through it." ”
As soon as He Rui opened his mouth, Tan Wenguan and Yu Zilin also echoed.
"Helping a few referrals is promised under the promise, and I will definitely keep my promise. Gu Yuchen said.
"I wonder what other assessments there are in this introductory trial?" He Rui asked.
Gu Yuchen thought for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "The content of each assessment is designed by different real people and elders, and it is different every time, the content of this year's assessment is presided over by Elder Mu Ze of my sect, she is decent, rigorous, jealous, and hateful, and attaches great importance to the heart of the Dao, which is estimated to be related to this aspect." ”
Several people hugged their fists and thanked Gu Yuchen again, although the entry was safe, but if you want to stand out, you still have to work hard.
Gu Yuchen observed the expressions of several people, He, Tan, and Yu all frowned and pondered, only the female cultivator named Mu Qing, who was dressed in white and had a beautiful face, had an indifferent face and did not see a sad face.
I don't know if this female cultivator is because she has the confidence to pass the trial, or if she thinks that with her background, she will definitely be able to be accepted as an apprentice by the elders in the sect.
If it is the former, Gu Yuchen admires such a female cultivator, and if it is the latter, Gu Yuchen thinks that relying on the cultivation of his ancestors, he will not be able to go long on the road of cultivation.
Gu Yuchen's thought was just a matter of a moment, and when he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with a few people, he took Ziyi and said goodbye to a few people: "I have to report to the master first, so I won't accompany you first, the entry trial will last for half a month, and when you are ready to start going directly to the Heavenly Road, Gu Mou said goodbye first." ”
After Gu Yuchen left, He Rui asked Lu Jin and the others: "When will we set off, three Taoist friends." ”
In fact, there is nothing to prepare, and as soon as you enter the road to heaven, you will not be allowed to use spiritual power, and everything you prepare is in vain.
This time, it was Lu Jin who spoke first: "It's all about leaving early and leaving late, let's go directly after meditating and pranayama at my door." ”
Tan Wenguan and Yu Zilin had no opinion, He Rui saw that a few people were so simple, and laid a formation around them, and several people began to meditate and breathe.
In less than half a day, a few people adjusted their condition and began to set off.
At the moment when he stepped on the first step of the road to heaven, Lu Jin felt that the spiritual power in his body was rapidly disappearing, and he couldn't even look inside.
This feeling is like changing from a monk who could fly to the sky a moment ago, to an ordinary person with a stronger body, and for any monk, this feeling of losing spiritual power is not very good.
All the abilities of the monks are based on spiritual power, once there is no blessing of spiritual power, the speed of walking is faster than ordinary people, this is because the monk's body has a lot less impurities after not eating grains, and after building a foundation, all useless impurities can be expelled from the body.
There is also a Qi refining period in the scattered cultivation of the Source Shengxian Sect.
On the long platform at the door just now, the foundation building period is much less than that of the qi refining period, and the monks in the qi refining period spontaneously gather together, while the foundation building period is more solitary, or it may be that the introductory trial has just begun, and the monks have not yet come, like Lu Jin's group of four foundation building monks together, there are basically none.
Lu Jin carefully found that the few people he could see on the road to heaven in front of him were all foundation building monks, and none of them were in the Qi refining period.
The other three people also discovered this situation, I am afraid that there is another mystery in this road to heaven, and the practice of qi and foundation building are not the same.
Thinking about it, the physical bodies of Qi refining stage cultivators are not as good as those in the foundation building period, and for the sake of fairness, the standards are naturally different from theirs.
At first, Lu Jin and the others walked very easily, but in order to save their strength, they did not talk and chat, Lu Jin, as a woman, was lighter than the other three, and it was easier to walk.
Lu Jin lowered his head and counted the steps as he walked.
100, 200, 300...... One thousand, one thousand three, one thousand five.
When it reached almost two thousand, some fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Lu Jin's head, and when he glanced ahead, there were still endless steps, and He Rui, Tan Wenguan, Yu Zilin and others were already panting for breath when they looked at the front and back.
Now He Rui is more than a dozen steps more than Lu Jin, and Lu Jin is a few steps more than Tan and Yu.
If there is no time limit, a few people don't have to fight so hard, and at the beginning of stepping on this road to the sky, a few people will see the time limit on the stone tablet next to them.
Two days, the two days are counted according to the ascent to the sky.
That is to say, whether you come to challenge this ascension road first, or later challenge this ascension road, as long as you step here, you will have two days, and if you don't reach the ascension platform after two days, you will be teleported out, and the monk will fail the challenge after going out, but you can still adjust your state and challenge again, and the time on the road is the same as the time outside.
In other words, the first one can be challenged multiple times, and the first level can be challenged up to seven times in this fifteen-day period.
Lu Jin and the others came relatively early.
But Lu Jin doesn't want to challenge so many times, because the next challenge, I don't know what the situation is, if the later challenge is more difficult than the first level, you can also challenge it one at a time, then it is not worth wasting too much time in the first level.
