In the first Heavenly Monument, Lin Chen was horrified to find that he was born in a strange place, where his name was Su Chen.

"Am I still in the Forging Divine Power?"

Lin Chen looked up at the sky, his face was full of gloom, and the sky here had an aura that made him feel strange.

......

The weather in Nanling has never been regular, it can change, the sun is shining at the last moment, but it is cloudy at this time.

The caravans in the teahouse got up and left, not daring to continue to stay in the teahouse, if the heavy rain fell, the mountain road would become more difficult to walk, and when night fell, they might not be able to climb over the mountain in the north.

It is said that the name of this mountain is also taken by the Pishan faction of the northern immortal cultivation sect, and the name Zhenling is because after any monk comes to Nanling through Zhenling Mountain, his cultivation will disappear completely and become no different from mortals.

This is also why Su Chen was originally from Nanling, but he had never heard anything about cultivation in Nanling, and after a while, except for Su Chen and Meng Qishan, the other business travelers in the teahouse left.

"It can't be delayed any longer. Meng Qishan looked up at the sky, and saw that the dark clouds were getting denser and denser, so he stretched out his hand and patted Su Chen, Su Chen came back to his senses, and his face was still unfinished.

Su Chen looked around, saw that the people in the teahouse had already left, and no longer wasted time asking, and hurriedly carried the bookcase, the travelogue given to him by Meng Qishan was carefully placed at the bottom of the bookcase, and the jade ruler was a little long, and the bookbox could not be placed, so Su Chen had to roll him into his arms.

Su Chen and Meng Qishan said goodbye to the Qing shopkeeper, and the Qing shopkeeper glanced at Meng Qishan obliquely, and said: "The old man has been in this teahouse for more than ten years, and he has seen all kinds of faces, but he has a little experience, I see that the center of this guest officer is displaced, and there seems to be a bad omen......

As soon as the shopkeeper Qing's voice fell, Meng Qishan's eyebrows twisted, "Hey, I told the shopkeeper when you learned the Taoist art of fate, I don't have time to delay with you here today, Xiaochen, let's go." ”

The two of them followed the winding mountain road, all the way to the north, because they were the last to go, the business trip that left earlier had already disappeared into the depths of the mountain road, and only Su Chen and the others could be seen on the entire mountain road.

"Brother Meng, you're not an ordinary person, are you!"

Su Chen, who had only been walking for half an hour, was a little weak, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, he stopped and wiped it lightly with his hand, looked back at Meng Qishan, who couldn't see any tiredness, and couldn't help asking.

"Sort of. Meng Qishan didn't hide it, he admitted it, and then he seemed to remember something, and continued: "I am a cultivator, but in this Nanling land, I am no different from you, and my cultivation is imprisoned and cannot be used, but my physique is stronger. ”

Su Chen saw that what Meng Qishan said was an understatement, and he was a little envious, and felt more and more that this cultivation also had merit, of course, he would not say it, after all, he was still a son of Confucianism.

Su Chen shook the bookcase and glanced at Meng Qishan silently, although Su Chen was unwilling to accept Meng Qishan's help, but seeing his unaware appearance, Su Chen was still a little sad in his heart.

After another half an hour, Su Chen traveled all the way, and finally came to the foot of Zhenling Mountain, Su Chen looked at this green mountain that was not high, his eyelids jumped, he didn't think that ordinary people could climb over this mountain.

Zhenling Mountain is not just a peak, but a continuous group of green mountains, forming a natural barrier, blocking the northernmost part of the entire South Ridge, Su Chen can only see part of the mountain height, the rest are blocked by clouds and mist, if there are enough clouds and mist, just like the weather at this time, the peaks they can see will be even lower, and even the connection between the mountains is covered by clouds and mist, what people who don't know is that Zhenling Mountain is like a giant blade standing across the border of the South Ridge.

"Let's go. Meng Qishan looked at the continuous Qingfeng in front of him, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes, "After turning over this Zhenling Mountain, we will be able to get out of Nanling smoothly, right now the dark clouds are in the sky, the mountain is full of fog, Xiaochen, you must be careful, follow me." ”

"Brother Meng rest assured. Su Chen patted his chest, and a confident smile appeared on his dark little face, which was not good-looking, but this confidence could infect Meng Qishan on the side.

Meng Qishan nodded with a smile, no longer said much, and took the lead in walking towards Zhenling Mountain, Su Chen did not show weakness, followed by him, since he knew that Meng Qishan might be a monk, Su Chen had an obsession in his heart, basically that the scholar was weak in the eyes of others, and along the way, he was a little tired, but Meng Qishan did not help in his eyes.

Scholars have always been the most backbone, Su Chen is even more reluctant to fall into the reputation of Confucianism in front of cultivators, and he has made great efforts to follow behind Meng Qishan, and he can catch up in front, but the more he goes up the mountain, the more rugged the road becomes, and even several mountain roads are only separated from the cliff by one person.

Meng Qishan in front of him walked leisurely, but Su Chen in the back was walking on thin ice, and after a while, after Su Chen climbed a few zhang, he couldn't walk anymore, he sat on the rocks with his butt, gasping for breath, Su Chen's will was still defeated by the limit of his body after all.

Meng Qishan in front saw that Su Chen was unable to go any further, he turned around and jumped, easily came to Su Chen's side, and looked at Su Chen with a playful expression, Su Chen's eyelids kept opening and closing, seeing that Meng Qishan was still not tired at all, his eyelids seemed to become heavier.

"Xiaochen, you see, we have only walked so far, according to the ridge at least hundreds of zhang, if you want to pass through Zhenling Mountain smoothly, you must at least walk to the ridge......

"Brother Meng, I know. Su Chen was weak, and his voice was like a mosquito, "But I really can't walk, Brother Meng, you go first, don't worry about me, I'll rest for a while and catch up." ”

Meng Qishan shook his head, obviously disagreeing with Su Chen's decision, and his eyes showed a look, and he said mysteriously: "Xiao Chen, don't worry, Confucianism has never practiced, and it is very common for the physical body to be almost poor, but the more important reason is that you don't know how to be lucky, and you can travel the farthest distance with the least amount of strength." ”

"Is that so?" Su Chen became interested, but his face was a little hesitant, "But this luck should be the method of your cultivators, as a disciple of Confucianism, I should carefully follow the teachings of the sage, and not use strange forces to confuse my mind......"

"Xiaochen said very much. Meng Qishan chuckled, "It's just that Xiaochen has never walked out of Nanling, and I don't know that although Confucian disciples in other places don't go to practice, they still practice some basic pranayama techniques, which can strengthen the body and prolong life." After all, the longer you live, the more books you can read, right?"

Meng Qishan's words made Su Chen fall into deep thought, he had been thinking about this question in his heart before, since there is really a saying of cultivating immortals in this world, why don't Confucian disciples go to cultivate immortals, as Meng Qishan said, only the longer you live, the more you will learn the principles of sages.

Seeing Su Chen's hesitation, Meng Qishan took out a classic book from his arms again, held it in front of Su Chen's eyes and shook it, "When I came, I happened to have a copy of the popular pranayama method of Eastern Confucianism......"

Meng Qishan didn't say the next words, but just handed the classic book to Su Chen's side, and Su Chen saw that the classic book did have the three big characters "Visualization Record" written on it. The child is a little new, it should be rarely turned over, Su Chen took the book with both hands, hesitated, and looked up at Meng Qishan.

"Are all Dongtu scholars really learning this "Visualization Record"?"

"This is natural, and I assure you in the name of a monk that when you go to Dongtu, you will see many people who practice the Meditation Book. ”

Meng Qishan's expression was indifferent, and Su Chen finally put his mind at ease and practiced according to the method recorded in the "Visualization Record".

"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost...... Su Chen opened the "Visualization Record", and what was recorded on it was really just an ordinary method of breathing and contemplating, which was used to meditate and regulate pranayama.

With Su Chen's breathing, he could clearly feel that his tiredness was swept away, and his whole body was full of strength, but at the same time, he also found that with such a short period of pranayama, it seemed that his body had lost a lot of weight, if Su Chen was just a thin teenager before, then at this moment it can only be described as thin.

"This method of visualization can help you get rid of your tiredness, but it is only temporary. At the right time, Meng Qishan's voice came from behind Su Chen, "In the land of Nanling, there is almost no spiritual energy, and the method of cultivating meditation cannot supplement one's body with the spiritual energy in heaven and earth, so it will consume the essence and spirit of the body. ”

"Brother Meng means that if I keep practicing the Visualization Record in Nanling, then I will continue to lose weight?"

Su Chen's face was a little embarrassed, he was completely malnourished at the moment, but he couldn't feel hungry for the time being.

"Yes. Meng Qishan nodded, "However, this visualization method should allow Xiao Chen to pass through this Zhenling Mountain for the time being, and after you get out of Nanling and enter the Wasteland, Xiao Chen, you will be able to truly feel the power of the Visualization Record." ”

After Meng Qishan finished speaking, he continued to walk towards Zhenling Mountain, Su Chen was suspicious, and hurriedly followed, he found that what Meng Qishan said was true, every time Su Chen took a step, there seemed to be a breath of qi circulating in his own meridians, which stimulated the strength of his whole body, and every step of climbing the mountain became extremely easy.

The two walked for another half an hour, and finally came to the ridge of Zhenling Mountain, and similarly, Su Chen also understood why Zhenling Mountain was called the land of Nanling.

The north and south sides of Zhenling Mountain, one is connected to the state of Qianzhou, and the other is through the barren state, which divides the two places into almost two worlds, fortunately, the north and south sides of Zhenling Mountain can be climbed, but the ridge on the side of Zhenling Mountain is like being cut off by a sharp sword, and it is extremely smooth, and ordinary people want to turn over Zhenling Mountain through the side, which is tantamount to climbing to the sky.

And at this moment, they were in the clouds and mist, and they could really feel that Zhenling Mountain was so high that they couldn't see the top at a glance, and it was not a wise move to expect to climb over Zhenling Mountain by climbing to the top of the mountain.

Su Chen carefully observed the side of Zhenling Mountain and found that although it was as smooth as a mirror, it had a plank road with the width of two feet embedded in it, and above the plank road, there was a rope, swaying in the air with the wind.

"Are we going to cross Zhenling Mountain through this plank road?"

Su Chen looked at the misty clouds and mist below the plank road, a little nervous, he had never walked such a difficult road.

"It is said that this plank road was opened up by the Huangzhou Bishan faction. Meng Qishan nodded, "But Xiaochen don't worry, although Zhenling Mountain is dangerous, the plank road opened up by the Bishan faction is very firm, as long as you overcome the fear in your heart, and follow the rope when crossing the plank road, don't open your eyes." ”

After Meng Qishan finished speaking, he also took a deep breath, although he was a cultivator, but it was the side of this Zhenling Mountain that gave him a great sense of terror, and his cultivation was suppressed by all of his supernatural powers, and he could only hike with mortals.

Meng Qishan escaped from a rope and connected himself to Su Chen with a rope, when he came from the north of Zhenling Mountain, he saw with his own eyes that several merchants were on the side of Zhenling Mountain and fell down the peak, he didn't dare to let Su Chen risk passing alone.

"Are you ready?"

Meng Qishan asked softly, Su Chen nodded, if he was not afraid that it was fake, but looking at the ropes on his body and Meng Qishan, Su Chen felt a little relieved.

Meng Qishan didn't ask any more, and came to the plank road with Su Chen, he was in front and Su Chen was behind, and both of them grabbed the rope on the plank road with their hands first.

"Close your eyes!" Meng Qishan snorted softly, closed his eyes, and moved forward with his feet together, Su Chen suddenly felt a tightness in his waist, and hurriedly closed his eyes and moved with Meng Qishan.

The cold mountain wind and clouds blew on Su Chen's face, making him feel pain, but Su Chen also knew that this place was difficult and dangerous, and he couldn't be careless, so Su Chen had to endure it forcibly.

As he moved forward, Su Chen gradually felt a little upset, and a voice kept coming from his head.

"Open your eyes!".

"Open your eyes!"

Su Chen himself was a little curious, and the voice in his head seemed to be bewitching. Finally, when Su Chen reached the middle of the plank road, he slowly opened his eyes......
