Chapter 19: The Stone Steps

The huge Baixian Rock became bigger and bigger in the line of sight, and the two people finally walked to the front of the boulder, and Shen Shi found that there was a stone step passage that was carved out on the other side of the boulder with its back to the sea, which led directly to the top of the boulder.

Two disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect in green shirts stood at the foot of the stone steps, their expressions solemn, although they did not look the slightest bit angry and powerful, but as long as they glanced at them from a distance, there was a faint feeling of oppression.

The butcher who was walking beside Shen Shi also narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment, and glanced at the two disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect.

These two disciples of the Lingxiao Sect who were guarding under the Immortal Worship Rock were extraordinary, but it was obviously not just the ones who were just putting on a show here, all the people who gathered here from all directions had already exceeded a hundred people under the Worship Immortal Rock at this moment, and there were still people who continued to come in a steady stream behind them. But all of them were directly stopped by these two disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect under the stone steps.

Shen Shi saw it clearly, and no one in the crowd who was stopped showed any anger, most of them greeted politely, and some even showed some flattering smiles. As for these two disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect, they paid little attention to it, their faces did not change, and they quickly walked out of the crowd one by one, young boys and girls, all holding a half-palm-sized Xuanyu talisman in their hands, and walked up to the two disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect.

These two disciples of the Lingxiao Sect took it one by one, and they didn't know what secret magic power they had used in their hands, but they saw that whenever they picked up a piece of Xuanyu talisman, a wisp of white smoke appeared on it, and the shadow in it seemed to have text and images, and then they saw a talisman, and after confirming their identity, they let a teenager pass.

As for some of the entourages who followed these teenagers, several people were a huge team of more than a dozen or dozens of people, and in the end, it seemed that they could only be sent to this Baixian Rock, except for those young boys and girls, no one could climb the Baixian Rock.

It was at this time that the butcher who came to the periphery of the crowd grabbed Shen Shi, stretched out his hand and took out a piece of Xuanyu talisman from his arms that was exactly the same as that in the hands of those young men, and handed it to Shen Shi in a precious and precious place, saying: "Xiao Shi, this is the 'Cloud Fu' token given by Lingxiao Sect, and it is also the only credential for you to worship the sect, and I will hand it over to you now." There will be a farewell for you, uncle, I can only send you here. ”

Shen Shi silently took this piece of Xuanyu talisman called "Cloud Fu", the tentacles only felt warm and greasy, with his eyesight that he had practiced for many years in the first floor of Tianyi, he almost immediately judged that this cloud talisman was mostly made of a kind of "black soul jade" second-grade spirit ore jade, not to mention that there were obviously some forbidden secret methods added on it, just this piece of black soul jade itself, in the first floor of Tianyi in Xilu City, Yinzhou, should be worth about ten spirit crystals.

And at this moment, the Ling Xiao Sect is just a token for these new disciples.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being the world's first-class top cultivator, and this kind of family background is really staggering.

After taking a deep breath, Shen Shi clenched the cloud talisman in his hand, looked up at the butcher, and said softly, "Uncle, thank you." ”

The butcher smiled and didn't say much, just waved his hand and motioned for him to hurry over.

Shen Shi turned around and walked towards the stone steps step by step.

The outer circle under the stone steps was already full of people at this moment, most of them were relatives and entourages who had come to see off their children, and there were also many young men and women who were holding their own cloud talismans, with a nervous look of excitement, excitement and even a slight gasp on their faces, walking towards the stone steps.

Looking from the ground to the heights, this stone step rises from the ground, only reaching the top of the towering boulder, the momentum is magnificent, in the eyes of many people, this may really be a road to the sky, the way of immortality.

Shen Shi clenched the cloud talisman and walked through the crowd, and someone next to him occasionally looked over, and when he saw the cloud talisman in his hand, he would automatically get out of the way, and at the same time, there were some complex and different expressions in his eyes, some were envious, some were vigilant, and some were pure curiosity and inquiry.

Finally, he approached the stone steps, and when he arrived here, there were very few adults and entourages around him who came to see him off, and the young boys and girls who walked out of the crowd consciously lined up in two teams and walked forward in turn, being inspected by the two disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect. In addition, there are also a small number of adults who still seem to be at ease, pulling the children at home to stand aside, telling themselves something.

It's been a long way, the immortals are separated, it can't be said that there is no goodbye, but after all, it will be separated for a long time, those adults are okay, just carefully admonished, and some of the teenagers who were pulled, especially one or two twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, looked already red-eyed.

Shen Shi glanced over there casually, and thought of his father again in his heart, but his mind was quiet and self-controlled since he was a child, and he didn't look out of shape. It's just that this gaze swept somewhere, and Shen Shi was suddenly stunned.

In a corner not far away, a fleshy father seemed to be pulling a twelve-year-old son to speak, and after a few words of explanation, he pushed his son hopefully and signaled that he could go up the mountain.

Then, he saw Shen Shi standing in the team on the side, with a somewhat incredible expression.

The old marquis, a stall vendor in the South Heavenly Gate of Liuyun City, was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, stared at Shen Shi and looked at it carefully, only then did he confirm it, and suddenly a wave of anger rose on his face, and as soon as his body moved, it seemed that he was about to rush over and make a move, beating this stinky boy who didn't know the sky and dared to calculate your Hou Ye half to death.

Shen Shi was taken aback, and complained bitterly in his heart, he never thought that this thing would be so coincidental, and he would really meet this person on this Baixian Rock, which was too unlucky!

Just in a hurry, the two disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect standing at the bottom of the stone steps in front seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly snorted coldly, the sound was not loud, but in the ears of everyone who was leaning closer, it seemed to sound a thunderclap, roaring.

Lao Hou was the first to bear the brunt, there was a chaotic sound in his ears, and he couldn't help but take a step back, and there was a burst of fear in his heart, where would he dare to make a mistake, and hurriedly nodded and smiled at the two Lingxiao Sect disciples over there, and retreated.

When Shen Shi saw this scene, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly said that it was so dangerous, if he was really caught by this rough man, and he had no way to do it, wouldn't it be that he hadn't started yet, and he would lose a big face in front of these many fellow disciples and even the onlookers, and even if he worshiped the Lingxiao Sect in the future, it would not be easy for him to raise his head and be a man.

But then he suddenly saw that although the old marquis retreated, he pulled the son who looked quite similar to him, whispered something, and looked up at his side from time to time, and after he said a few words, his son who held the cloud talisman showed a look of resentment and disgust on his face, staring at him from a distance.

Shen Shi rolled his eyes, turned his head away, and smiled inexplicably bitterly in his heart, thinking that he hadn't entered the Lingxiao Sect yet, and it seemed that he had made an enemy in the same sect first......

※※※

The team formed by the young men continued to move forward quietly and gently, from the beginning to the present, all those who climbed the Worship Immortal Rock with cloud talismans in their hands successfully passed the inspection of the two disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect, and then walked down the stone steps towards the top of the boulder step by step.

Shen Shi stood in the middle of the team, looked left and right, and saw that the young boys and girls around him were almost twelve or thirteen years old, and occasionally saw one or two people who were obviously taller than the surrounding teenagers, and they were also full of childishness, and it seemed that in addition to being taller, there was not much difference in age.

Generally speaking, since the creation of the Truth Cultivation Method, after tens of thousands of years of development, the human race in the Hongmeng Realms has formed a complete system recognized by everyone, among which there is a well-known cognition, that is, the physique of the human race is indeed far inferior to other alien races, although the creation of heaven and earth, the birth of spirit crystals can allow the human race to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth and then cultivate, but the physical body of ordinary children is still unbearable, at least until the age of twelve, before they can start to practice the most basic exercises, try to absorb spiritual power from the spirit crystal into the body.

At present, there are almost all teenagers of the same age, and it is obvious that Ling Xiao Sect opened the sect to accept disciples, and it is precisely on this basis that it is based.

Thinking in his heart, this team had already walked a long way, and before he knew it, Shen Shi had already reached the stone steps, when a young girl in front of him handed in the cloud talisman and passed it smoothly after a while, and happily stepped on the stone steps, Shen Shi stepped on a step, and he faced the disciple of the Ling Xiao Sect standing on the right side of the stone steps.

This was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, with a good face and a gentle expression, but when he got close to this person, the feeling of oppression that he had before suddenly increased a lot, making Shen Shi feel that he had the illusion that he was having trouble breathing.

However, after the man glanced at Shen Shi, he seemed to feel something, smiled slightly, and the inexplicable pressure suddenly relaxed, and Shen Shi suddenly felt a lot more refreshed. At that moment, of course, he understood the reason, and hurriedly smiled at this Ling Xiao Sect disciple and whispered, "Thank you." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the cloud talisman in his hand.

The Ling Xiao Sect disciple took the cloud talisman and asked casually, "What's your name?"

Shen Shi said respectfully: "Shen Shi." ”

The disciple of the Ling Xiao Sect nodded slightly, it seemed that he was just doing a routine business, with a slight force in his hand, and he didn't see how he moved, and when Shen Shi's cloud talisman landed, a cloud of smoke turned into a cloud of smoke, and an avatar and two words flashed in it, looking at Shen Shi's appearance and his name.

This was the first time Shen Shi had seen such a strange magic weapon vision up close, and he was very curious for a while, staring at it for a while, and at the same time secretly wondering in his heart, when was his name and avatar embedded in the cloud talisman, and who did it?

The Lingxiao Sect disciple's gaze swept over the image, glanced at Shen Shi's appearance again, nodded after confirmation, and said, "Yes, you can go over." ”

After speaking, his arm shook a few times at will, and the white cloud dissipated with the wind, turning into the warm and greasy cloud rune Xuanyu again, and handed it back to Shen Shi.

Shen Shi respectfully took it, not forgetting to thank him first, and then walked past this Lingxiao Sect disciple, raised his footsteps, and stepped onto the first layer of this Heavenly Ascending Stone Steps.

Connect more than a dozen stone steps, and then look back, only to see that the crowd under the stone steps has become much smaller, looking into the distance, the sea breeze blows, the clothes hunt and fly, the sound of the waves, only to see the sea and the sky, the blue sky is high and wide, the future fairy road is vast, as if it has been under the feet.

"Hey, what's your name?"

Suddenly, a voice that didn't seem too friendly suddenly sounded from behind, Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw a young man with a face and appearance that was seven points similar to the old marquis at the bottom of the mountain, standing behind him angrily, glaring at him and asking with hostility.
