Chapter X

At this time, the man who came out to speak before stood up again: "Now standing here is already the one who has passed the qualification inspection of my gang." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, there are still two levels of testing below, and only those who pass the next two levels of testing can become my disciples. Here, I would like to wish you all success.

Test of the second level: Within one hour, you can run from this gate to the opposite mountain. With that, the man pointed to a high mountain outside the wall.

Then he said: "Of course, there are several ways to go up the mountain, you can choose what road to take, and at the same time, you can also choose to climb the mountain freely, as long as you can climb the mountain on time." Those who can reach it on time will pass this hurdle. ”

Zou Li looked in the direction of this man, this mountain is very high, according to his estimate, it is at least more than 20 miles away from here, if twenty miles of land is flat, it is difficult to climb the mountain.

As soon as I looked back, I realized that another gate had opened in this courtyard at some point, and this gate was leading in the direction of this mountain.

After hearing this man announce the competition, someone turned pale and said loudly: "Such a long way, or climbing the mountain, two hours is about the same, one hour, is it going to exhaust us to death!"

"Yes! A buzzing sound rang out throughout the yard.

At this time, the man who spoke said loudly again: "If you don't want to, you can quit now, I won't force the Crouching Tiger Gang." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent.

Seeing this, the man who spoke nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now everyone go out from this door, and then under the command of the disciples in the gang, start the second level test." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately ran to this outer road.

Zou Li also followed, and when he went out, it turned out that there was a large square outside the door, at least larger than this courtyard.

Zou Li and the others came to the square according to the command of the black-clothed man, and the man who spoke just now emphasized again: "From here to the top of the high mountain, it takes one hour, due to the large number of people, it can be divided into nine mountain roads, each chooses, and if it is outdated, it will fail the assessment." ”

Then he waved his hand and said loudly, "Start." ”

With a shout, the teenagers who came to the test immediately ran towards the high mountain.

Da Zhuang also ran with his legs, but was stopped by Zou Li: "Da Zhuang, the mountain road is nearly twenty miles, can you run up in one breath?" Da Zhuang is not stupid, he has been farming and hunting since he was a child. Naturally, he was familiar with the mountain road, but just now he just saw that everyone else was running, and he didn't realize that he was running along. Hearing Zou Li's shout, he immediately slowed down.

Walking a long road must be a fast step, at a constant pace, especially on mountain roads, otherwise once you are tired of running and your energy is exhausted, it will be difficult to catch up with your companions.

Of course, there are quite a few people like them, at least Liu Qiang, the son of the shopkeeper whom Zou Li knows.

Liu Qiang's qualifications were excellent at the time of the test, and it is said that if he passed the test, he had a high chance of entering the Inner Gate Tiger Hall and practicing martial arts professionally, as an elite disciple of the Crouching Tiger Gang.

In addition to a trace of envy and a trace of jealousy in Zou Li's heart, why is his qualifications so poor?

However, if you think about it again, as long as you are willing to work hard, your achievements may not be worse than others. When I think of this, I feel relieved.

Zou Li has met these two guys, and now that they see each other again, he naturally wants to say hello.

The round-faced young man rolled his eyes when he saw Zou Li, and said: "The younger brother's name is Huang Cai, and his name is a bit vulgar, but his father gave him a lot of money, and although I don't want to, I have to accept it." I see that my brother is strong and heroic, and he will definitely be able to pass this level. After saying that, he smiled.

When Liu Qiang heard this, he said: "Brother Zou, although this road to climb the mountain is usually not allowed to be climbed, but as a native of Crouching Tiger Town, my father is the external manager of the Crouching Tiger Gang, and there are a few good friends with the disciples of the Crouching Tiger Gang. Huang Cai and I have climbed twice this year, but due to the influence of Huang Cai's fat pig, we have not climbed to the top of the mountain within an hour. ”

When Huang Cai heard this, he said, "Who told you not to pull your brother." ”

After speaking, he said to Zou Li: "Brother Zou, the nine roads up the mountain are all about the same, the middle one is closer, but there is one more steep slope, and the one next to it is a little farther, one less steep slope." I don't know which side my brother chose to go up the mountain?"

Zou Li heard this, and secretly said in his heart, "This kid is the first to get the moon near the water!"

After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll choose the one next to me." ”

"Brother wise, although the side is a little farther away, but there is one less steep slope, climb to the end, both legs are trembling, one more steep slope, it is really difficult to climb up. We got to the second steep slope both times, and it was time. Huang Cai said with a smile.

"The last two times weren't because of you, if it was me, I would definitely be able to catch up. Liu Qiang said.

"You kid won't leave me alone this time, run first!" you ---," he said and howled. Attract everyone's attention.

The four of them traveled all the way, and they only walked half the way after walking for nearly half an hour, and the higher they went, the steeper the mountain became.

At this time, Huang Fat Man was already out of breath, Liu Qiang and Da Zhuang were also sweating profusely, only Zou Li was better, only better.

At this time, Zou Li suggested taking a break.

When the fat man heard this, he immediately sat on the ground and said, "Brother Zou, you are better than my father!"

caused Liu Qiangqiang to laugh.

Taking a breath, Zou Li proposed to go again, and the fat man Huang said, "Can't you rest for a while?"

Zou Li said: "If you want to rest, you can rest here alone for a while." "After that, he turned his legs and left.

The fat yellow man sighed and had to follow.

When he reached the first steep slope, Zou Li glanced at the fat man and said, "Climb up quickly, and take my hand." Huang Fatzi was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's really my good brother, if you succeed in breaking through, I will definitely ask my father to invite you for a big meal." ”

"Climb this steep slope and walk a few hundred feet to arrive, this time it should be successful, thanks to Brother Zou's blessing." Before Huang Fatzi's words fell, Zou Li shouted to pay attention.

The yellow fat man looked up, and hurriedly grabbed the branch next to him.

I saw a person rolling down above, Zou Li saw the opportunity, grabbed the other party's clothes with his foot, fortunately this person was thin, Zou Li just sank, and stopped this person.

Zou Li looked at it, it should be out of strength.

At this time, a Crouching Tiger Gang disciple jumped out next to him, glanced at Zou Li, and saw that the young man had been stopped, so he walked away.

Zou Li helped the person up and asked, "Can Brother Ren still climb?"

The thin boy glanced at the steep slope, trembled and said, "Brother Xie, I can still climb." ”

Seeing this, Zou Li sighed, "Brother Liu, you pull Brother Huang by the hand, and I will bring this person up, otherwise it will be difficult for him to go up with his current state." ”

When the five of them climbed to the top of the mountain, the fat yellow man shouted, "It's over!" and fell asleep on the ground.

The thin boy didn't have a chance to climb up, but with the help of Zou Lizhi, he finally climbed up, and immediately cried bitterly: "Oh my God, you finally opened one eye and let me succeed." After speaking, he was about to kowtow to Zou Li.

Zou Li pulled: "It's also fate for brothers to meet, let's pull each other, but it's a gesture, you don't have to be polite." The skinny boy kept saying thanks. Zou Li hurriedly found a reason to dodge.

At this time, Zou Li looked around and saw that the top of the mountain was actually a platform, twenty or thirty zhang horizontal. There is a pavilion in the middle of the platform, and in the center of the pavilion is a pouring of incense, and the incense candle is almost burned.

Zou Li secretly said that it was dangerous.

Around the pavilion there were about three or four hundred people sitting or sleeping.

Zou Li frowned, he found an acquaintance in the crowd, it was the young man who bought medicinal herbs yesterday and wanted to buy them forcibly.

However, he did not stop at him, and looked at the various intersections, and at this time there were still many people coming up one after another.

At this time, the gray-clothed man who was presiding over the test in the branch below also climbed up, and the incense candle had just burned out.

He immediately walked out of the pavilion and said loudly: "When the time comes, those who have not yet ascended the mountain will fail to break through." In the voice of the man in gray, a few more people ran up quickly, and they never saw anyone again.

Zou Li felt a little strange, and when he came to the side of the mountain, it turned out that there was a disciple in a black shirt at each intersection to block the intersection, and many test teenagers cried in front of these black-clothed disciples, but these people were unmoved.

The man in gray immediately announced, "A total of 620 people have successfully passed this level." Here, I congratulate you on getting one step closer to your goal. However, there is one last level, and the most important level, everyone rests for a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, they will continue to play the third level. ”
