In the early morning, facing the morning glow of the morning sun, on the mountain road leading to the top of the holy mountain, people are struggling to climb.

Even if it is a path that has been successfully developed, it is still quite difficult for mortals to climb to the top of the mountain.

Therefore, many people start to climb before dawn, hoping to reach the top of the mountain one step earlier.

At this time, at the foot of the Holy Mountain.

Xiao Dongchen calmly looked at the winding road in front of him, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There was a middle-aged man standing beside him, who was constantly speaking, explaining to Xiao Dongchen.

"This road is the road to heaven. ”

The middle-aged man pointed to the sheep intestine trail in front of him: "If you want to climb to the top of the mountain, the Ascending Heaven Road is the only way, as long as you can climb to the top of the mountain through the Ascending Heaven Road, you will have the opportunity to be selected by the Holy Sect on the top of the mountain and become a disciple of the Holy Sect." ”

In the end, the middle-aged man's eyes showed envy.

Becoming a disciple of the Holy Sect is the lifelong pursuit of many Miao Jiang people, and he is naturally no exception.

"There are so many people who have climbed to the top of the mountain, can they all be selected as disciples?"

Xiao Dongchen looked at the mountain road, although this mountain road is very difficult to walk, but if you have perseverance, it is not much difficult to climb to the top of the mountain.

If these people can be recruited as disciples, how far has the Ghost Gu Sect developed after so many years?

The middle-aged man shook his head: "Of course not." Climbing to the top of the mountain is only the first step, there is a holy stone on the top of the mountain, the holy stone is very huge, only by moving this holy stone, will you be selected to become a disciple of the holy sect. ”

With emotion in his eyes, when he was young, he had also climbed to the top of the mountain, but he had not been able to move the stones.

Xiao Dongchen nodded, and suddenly saw some teenagers on the mountain road.

"What about them?"

Xiao Dongchen said: "It's still so young, if adults can't move the holy stone in your mouth, what chance do these teenagers have?"

The middle-aged man shook his head again: "The holy stone is naturally not comparable to ordinary stones, although the holy stone is very heavy, but if the opportunity is enough, even if it is a young man, it is possible to move it, everything depends on chance." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly folded his hands and bowed in the direction of the top of the mountain as if on pilgrimage.

Xiao Dongchen was unmoved on his face, but he was quite disdainful in his heart.

There is such a thing as chance, even if it is difficult to explain in the cultivation realm, how can a stone be related to chance.

"Thousand sails. ”

He said lightly, ignored the middle-aged man, and quietly looked at the mountain road in front of him.

Zhang Qianfan nodded, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his waist, and when he took it out again, there was a small yellow-orange gold nugget in his hand.

This gold nugget is not very big, but after seeing this gold nugget, the middle-aged man's expression still became very excited.

He is just a guide, and such a reward is already very generous.

"It's your pay. ”

Throwing the broken gold nugget into the hands of the middle-aged man, Zhang Qianfan said respectfully: "Master, do you want to climb the mountain?"

"Let's go up, just right, I'm going to go up and see how the Ghost Gu Sect recruits disciples. ”

The corners of his mouth lifted a vague smile, and Xiao Dongchen walked leisurely towards the mountain road with his hands in his hands.

"You're going to climb the mountain now?"

However, just as he walked out, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

The middle-aged man had a stunned look on his face, and persuaded him: "This time has passed the best time to climb the mountain, even if you can finally reach the top of the mountain, the time is definitely not early, it is better to wait until the evening to start." ”

"No need. ”

Xiao Dongchen shook his head, and without much explanation, he took Zhang Qianfan and walked towards the top of the mountain.

Such a path is naturally not easy for ordinary people, but to the point where he is at this level, it is no different from walking on the ground.

"Alas......"

Seeing that Xiao Dongchen didn't listen to his advice, the middle-aged man suddenly became a little anxious, raised his hand, and wanted to say something, but in the end he shook his head: "Young people nowadays are good at everything, but they are too arrogant, and they still suffer less." ”

He pouted, then didn't think about it, and looked at the small nugget in his hand.

......

......

On the winding mountain road, every short distance, there is a figure walking up.

And as the mountain road steepens, the more you get to the second half of the mountain road, the more sparse the pedestrians on the road become.

In the end, there are only a handful of people who actually reach the top of the mountain.

The winding mountain road naturally could not form any obstacles to Xiao Dongchen and Zhang Qianfan, and it only took a short time for the two of them to come to the top of this holy mountain.

Because of the peculiar appearance of this holy mountain, as soon as he came to the top of the mountain, Xiao Dongchen saw a very smooth small square that had been polished in front of him.

At the end of the square, a towering wall blocked his view.

There were only a dozen people in this square, all of them strong men, all of whom had red faces, and they all sat on the ground, as if they were recovering their strength.

At this moment, with the arrival of Xiao Dongchen and Zhang Qianfan, these big men all opened their eyes, and when they saw that it was a young man and an old man, they all showed a look of surprise in their eyes.

Especially, when they found that Xiao Dongchen and Zhang Qianfan didn't look embarrassed at all, the surprise in their eyes became more and more intense.

Coming to the top of the mountain through the mountain road, even for them has a lot of pressure, these two people who are not in the prime of life, how can they be so relaxed?

However, surprise is surprise, but these people didn't ask much, they all stayed where they were, and they were silent one by one.

Xiao Dongchen also just glanced at these strong men, and began to look around.

Soon, not far from the strong men, he saw an oval-shaped black stone.

This black stone is more than a person tall, and the surface is quite smooth, Xiao Dongchen just glanced at it, then sneered and shook his head.

"Trying to move this stone by hand is basically whimsical. ”

He muttered to himself.

Regardless of the weight of the stone itself, the smooth surface alone would be impossible for ordinary people to move.

"I want to see what kind of trick this ghost Gu Sect is playing. ”

Yes, Xiao Dongchen walked to the side and quietly waited for the person who beckoned the disciple in the Ghost Gu Sect to appear.

He wasn't going to rush straight in.

Although, with his strength, it was not difficult to rush in at all, but he did not intend to do so.

Time passed slowly, and soon half an hour passed.

Xiao Dongchen stood in place with his hands in his hands, but at this moment, his expression suddenly moved, and he looked in the direction of the city wall.

I saw that on the city wall, several figures appeared, and then they jumped one after another, jumping down from the wall several meters high.

"Meet the Holy Master. ”

Seeing these people appear, the big man who was originally sitting in the square hurriedly got up and stepped forward to say respectfully.
