Chapter 5 Testing
Mingjing put his hands behind his back, looked at these teenage children in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, ten years ago, he was standing here like these children in front of him, and it was not until this moment that he realized that it had been ten years since he came to Suzaku Gate.
Ten years later, it may feel far away, but thinking back ten years ago, ten years is just a flick of a finger.
Mingjing took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and said, "It's actually easy to become a member of the Vermilion Bird Gate. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a path on the left side of the square and said, "Starting from that path, passing through the thorn forest in front, then lying down over the Zhuhai River in front, then climbing over the Bali Slope, and finally returning here from the Nai He Bridge in front, as long as you return to the square before noon, you will be a member of the Suzaku Gate." ”
Leng Muyang's eyes, looking down with the line that Mingjing was pointing to, roughly estimated that the whole journey might be seven or eight kilometers.
He couldn't help but wonder, does it take more than six hours to travel seven or eight kilometers?
Seeing Mingjing said that the clouds were light and light, but his intuition told him that things didn't seem to be so simple.
I saw Mingjing continue, "Everyone here is an immortal seedling with high-grade cultivation qualifications, and in front of this entrance test, everyone is on the same starting line, and we are also treated equally.
Okay, without further ado, I hope that the juniors and disciples can pass the test safely and come to the square to call me brother.
He pointed to the other two, that is, the person who was responsible for arranging for the other children to rest in the other two courtyards last night, and said, "The three of us will concentrate on everyone's safety, so let's go with confidence!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the children rushed out.
Leng Muyang also followed everyone and began the test of entering the Vermilion Bird Gate.
After going down the path, it is the thorn forest that Mingjing said.
The moment he saw the thorn forest, Leng Muyang really understood, testing the road of seven or eight kilometers, why Mingjing or Vermilion Bird Gate was given five or six hours.
The thorn forest in front of me is a shrub forest full of thorny plants and trees.
Wishful thinking to pass safely without harm is simply wishful thinking.
If you want to minimize the severity of the injury, it may be too late.
This is the first level of the test, just such a pervert, what will it be like in the future, Leng Muyang doesn't dare to imagine.
Seeing other children, they rushed in regardless of the pain, and Leng Muyang's heart also rushed in.
The other children are all in their teens, and they can bear it, but can't I, a person with a body in my teens and a soul in my twenties, still stand it?
Not to mention that I have a soul that is much older than these children, even if everyone is the same soul, and others are not afraid of pain and rush forward, what reason do I have not to rush over?
Firming up his mind and gritting his teeth, Leng Muyang took a deep breath and rushed into the thorn forest.
Before Leng Muyang entered the Thorn Forest, he heard the shouts of the children who entered first, which could not be described as heartbreaking.
But everyone still keeps going.
With a wave of his hand, he swept away the thorny branch that was blocking his head, and his hand was pierced in several places.
He retracted his hand into his sleeve and waved forward, and the sleeve was hung by the thorn strip.
It's not that Leng Muyang is careless, it's that the thorn forest is too dense.
Every time I took a step forward, I was hurt by thorns and thorny branches, and this hurt my heart and lungs, and this pain was heart-wrenching.
By the time they finally broke out of the thorn forest, about an hour had passed, and every child who passed through the thorn forest was in rags.
The dense wounds on the body, the painful children grinned their teeth, and wore a lot of gasps.
And when Leng Muyang rushed out of the Thorn Forest, the only girl in their small courtyard had already passed through the Thorn Forest before him.
It's not as good as a girl. Leng Muyang said he was very unconvinced.
It should have been that she hesitated for a while at the beginning, so she was ahead of her.
Leng Muyang comforted himself like this.
Now, everyone is running the same line again, and in the next item, you must be one step ahead of her, no, you must pass her a lot faster.
No matter what, you can't lose to a girl.
It was a real girl, and she was an adulterated little boy.
Through the thorn forest, not far away, is the Mingjing said Roundabout River.
After passing through the thorn forest, the sweat soaked through the clothes, and it was uncomfortable to stick to the body, not to mention the wounds on the body.
Everyone gasped, and after a while, a small child took the lead in walking towards the Roundabout River, and then everyone moved.
When I first entered the Huanhai River, the first thing I felt was the coldness, followed by the pain of drilling into the heart.
The screams of pain were endless, and dozens of children shouted together from the bottom of their hearts, and the momentum was still very loud.
Leng Muyang only then understood that the Huanhai River was said to be a river, but what flowed in it was actually seawater.
The water in the river does not flow fast, but there are layers of ripples.
The water of the river is not deep enough for children of their age to pass safely, and the sea water inside wets every part of their body.
Leng Muyang just wanted to scold his mother, and said in his heart: What is this special thing to sprinkle salt on the wound?
Although the wound was sprinkled with salt, and although everyone screamed in pain, everyone kept moving forward desperately.
When they came ashore, very few children were able to stand up. Everyone was lying on the grass not far from the river.
The reason why everyone didn't rest as soon as they came ashore was because the water in the river was seawater, and there was no vegetation on the riverside, and the river was full of pebbles and silt, so there was really no way to rest.
On the grass, some children plan to take off their upper body clothes, because some places on their bodies have deep wounds and slow healing, and they are repeatedly pickled and stung by clothes with seawater, which is very painful.
But it was stopped by the first test of Mingjing.
According to Mingjing's words, this test is a process of honing everyone's mind.
No matter how difficult the path of cultivation is, and this pain cannot be overcome, it means that you are indeed not suitable to embark on this path of cultivation.
Hearing Mingjing say this, the children who were going to take off their clothes canceled their plans to take them off.
Further ahead is Balipo, under the urging of Mingjing, everyone walked through a small meadow and came to the front of Balipo.
This eight-mile slope will not be a straight slope from bottom to top, but a side slope.
The mountain stone of Balipo is an ink-colored black mountain stone, the mountain is not very steep, and the mountain wall is not very smooth.
It wasn't until the children stepped on this Balipo that the black mountain, under the illumination of the sun, showed its power.
The black rocks were scorching hot from the sun, and the children did not climb up to them, but became ants on a solid hot pot.
But I have to tense my whole body, and sometimes I even have to crawl my body to move forward safely.
Leng Muyang thought to himself, this test is also abusive!
Fortunately, after the first two tests, everyone seems to have a certain tolerance for pain, or some numbness.
Although it is still difficult to endure on the Balipo, although everyone is still shouting and screaming, it is obviously not as exaggerated as it was at the beginning.
Balipo is the longest of the three that have been passed.
By the time we reached the summit, it was close to noon.
Leng Muyang looked at the shadow and estimated that it should be almost eleven o'clock.
This time he was the first to go up to the top of the slope.
At the top of the slope, there is a suspension bridge.
The suspension bridge, which spans the Winding River, is the only way back to the square and the last item of the test.
When all the children reached the top of the mountain safely, the three of them were gone.
Through the test experience of the first three items, although the visual inspection of this suspension bridge seems to be commonplace, Leng Muyang has not taken it lightly.
There is a white stone monument at the head of the bridge, on which are written three golden characters;
However, the bridge is in myths and legends, in the underworld, is the territory of Meng Po, and it is also the only way to reincarnate.
But why is the bridge in front of you also named after the Nai He Bridge?
Why?
