4. Reality and cruelty
Irritability and restlessness spread like a plague among the crowd. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When one person goes crazy and gives up, there will be a linkage reaction, and more people will do the same. One, two, three, six, and more.
"Ah, Young Master Ben can't stand it, this is simply a living sin, I don't want to practice. A beautifully dressed young master untied the jade belt around his waist and fell to the ground, the delicate jade piece was smashed without caring at all, and he bare his upper body to enjoy the coolness brought by the mountain breeze.
In the past few hours, more than half of the people could not bear such pain, they could not persevere, and finally all of them were defeated and chose to give up.
Those people silently left the martial arts arena, their expressions were a little relaxed, but there was a trace of loss in their eyes, the children who could be selected by them would not be too bad, but they themselves did not cherish it, as long as they survived, the future may be infinitely better.
The disciples of the Wushuang Pavilion looked at all this indifferently, without a little sympathy, they came over like this back then, this is the principle of the Heavenly Dao, no one can change it.
Gu Ning stood there coldly, his eyes closed, regardless of everything around him, he could feel the restlessness and restlessness on the side, but he was not moved at all, he wanted to stick to his beliefs, work hard for a better life, and the hatred that his father often mentioned to him at night.
Although he is not the biological son of the ancient head, he was brought up by him, and he is full of gratitude to him, treating him as a father from the bottom of his heart.
The temperature of the sun is getting stronger and stronger, especially if there is no protection from clouds on the top of the mountain, and the blazing light shines on the earth. Fortunately for Gu Ning, his tattered clothes played a big role at this time, there were many holes in his clothes, the wind on the top of the mountain was very strong, and the delicate woman was afraid that it would be difficult to stand firm when she stood here, such a strong wind, all of which blew into his clothes through the holes in his clothes, that kind of comfort, and his heart was secretly excited.
He didn't feel the slightest bit of heat at all, and standing for a day wasn't too much of a problem for him, all he had to do was endure the hunger of the day. This is also possible for his perennial underfed baby.
At the age of fifteen, he is almost a head shorter than children of the same age, which is the result of his perennial lack of food and malnutrition.
As time passed, fewer and fewer people withdrew, and there were less than 100 people on the entire field, and the grand scene of a thousand people just now no longer existed. As long as you survive this hurdle, even if you don't have the core disciples of the inner sect who are not selected for fifty, it is acceptable to be a regular disciple.
Qingfeng's eyes swept in Gu Ning's direction from time to time, and he nodded with satisfaction. He was now the only one left in the northeast direction, so he was still under observation.
Qingfeng said: "Elder Yuanlong, the kid in the northeast corner was brought by me this time, Senior Sister Qinglian and I fell in love with him at a glance, this kid has good qualifications and a future." ”
Elder Yuanlong's hand shook the dust, landed on his arm, and looked in that direction with a stroke of his white beard: "Isn't it good, you have to pass it all." But you said that you actually found this child in the small village at the foot of the mountain this time, I remember that there has not been a person in their village for a long time, and Ma San is in charge of their affairs?"
Qingfeng nodded, a little hesitant, "That's true, but I found something wrong in their village." ”
Elder Yuanlong, the Dharma Protector and the Hall Master all turned their heads sideways, with a questioning look on their faces.
"What's going on, tell me about it." ”
"The child who was sealed in the sealed place twenty years ago, when he heard that he seemed to have been forcibly restrained by a powerful person, and when the greater forces above checked it down, he was extremely angry, as if it had something to do with that village. He whispered.
The look of shock in Elder Yuanlong's eyes flashed: "There is such a thing, then you send someone to keep an eye on it." Now there is a good show, it seems that this time the conference of good and evil, not only our small sects participated. Hey. ”
The gray-robed Xinghan Dharma Protector beside him said, "Second Elder, I just heard about what happened back then, what happened. Can you tell me a little bit about that? ”
Elder Yuanlong pondered for a long time and said, "The old man doesn't understand the specific secrets, maybe only the people of the level of the Great Elder and the Pavilion Master in the world know about the Heavenly Machine." The sealed child is too big to know if it's true or not. Well, look at these kids put!"
The time passed quickly, and after another three hours, it was getting late. The sunset was like a rainbow, the sunset was bloody, the temperature of the sun was no longer there, and Gu Ning's eyes that had been closed for a whole day finally opened. The sunset in the west was so beautiful and colorful, and he stood in the northeast corner at the end of the mountain, taking in the beautiful scenery in his eyes.
Immortals, birds, and beasts are in the sea of clouds, and the twilight blood and sunset reflect the dragon.
At night, they endure everything but fatigue and hunger. At this point, they may be further brushed down on the next batch, and all the results will not be settled until the next morning.
Some children of rich families with strong minds and bodies are almost starving because they dislike the poor food last night and hardly eat much in the morning, and some people have to eat six or seven meals a day when boys are teenagers. A few of them were so hungry that they fainted.
A few of the thinner looking girls were also crying from hunger after more than an hour of nightfall, and not eating for a day was also a kind of torment for them. They really want to persevere, but their bodies have really reached their limits.
The moonlight is like water, on the top of the entire mountain, the sea of clouds in the distance is floating wantonly, in the moonlight, the colorful glow envelops the whole mountains and the sea of clouds, such as a fairyland dream.
Gu Ning was relatively much better, he ate very much last night, he ate all the food he sent, and he ate a lot of steamed buns and porridge in the morning. So he was a little hungry now, but he didn't feel what hunger was at all, and he could hold on until tomorrow morning.
It's a little cold at this time, and he can accept it.
There were only more than seventy people left present and the disciples of the Wushuang Pavilion who led them here, they were very energetic, and they didn't eat or drink for a day here, but they didn't feel sleepy at all. Gu Ning found Senior Sister Qinglian, and it happened that Qinglian also saw him. Gu Ning raised her head and grinned, very sunny, which made her very confident in her heart.
At this time, "Bang dang." A huge bell rang from the distant hill, it was the bell that was ringing by the disciples who were keeping vigil at midnight, and the meaning of the next day had already begun.
The elder of Yuntou said: "There are still three hours, as long as you survive it, even if you have passed the first level, the children will work hard!"
Hearing his words, many children are also secretly cheering hard to get to the last step.
Standing for a day and a night without doing anything is a test of the physical limit and a spiritual sharpening.
Time passed quickly, and they finally survived three hours, and none of them fell down.
The first rays of dawn of the second morning illuminated the sky, reflecting the eastern sky.
At that moment, all the children who persevered shouted excitedly. They looked very weak at the moment, but they were still very excited. Surviving this means that they are one step closer to their dreams. Gu Ning breathed a long sigh of relief, with a relieved expression, he was very happy, he had passed the first hurdle, and he was one step closer to his dream.
At this time, the elder announced, "Congratulations on passing the first level, and now you will be taken to the resting place by your respective guides, and tomorrow we will continue to meet here for our second mission at this point." After saying that, he led the Dharma Protector and the Hall Master and Qingfeng to leave.
At the moment of leaving, Senior Brother Qingfeng turned his head to give Gu Ning a smile and secretly gave a thumbs up.
Not far away, Senior Sister Qinglian floated down, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's really good, the first level was passed so easily, your senior brother and I didn't see the wrong person, let's go, I'll take you to eat and rest, you're tired too!" Jump off the mountain and leap over the endless sea of clouds.
Gu Ning was so frightened that he screamed wildly, but Qinglian didn't care about his yelling at all, and laughed very happily.
This is a beautiful garden cottage, with a single courtyard and many ancient trees surrounding, behind the endless sea of clouds on the cliff, the shape of the cottage is very chic, the single courtyard is multi-room, all the furniture is readily available, plus a garden, is a superior living environment. There are also a few such huts on the side, and the environment is also good. But compared to this on the edge of the cliff, it's still almost,
Gu Ning had indeed never seen the world, and when he saw this, he was still amazed by everything in front of him, such a place was a world of difference compared to his home under the mountain.
He asked in a low voice, "Senior sister, where is this?"
The interior of this room is very elegant, everything is antique, with a little pink decoration, there is a refreshing fragrance, very good.
Qinglian said with a smile: "This is where I live, you don't have to be restrained, it's just a person, you first drink a cup of hot water to warm your stomach, what do you want to eat, I'll cook for you, and then take a bath and change clothes." ”
Gu Ning lowered his head and whispered: "Thank you, senior sister, I can't live here, this is your room, I'm afraid that my body will stain here, or I'll sleep on the stone table outside." He lowered his head shyly, and when he learned that this was Qinglian's boudoir, he was a little ashamed of himself.
"Hi. What are you afraid of, senior sister, I don't care about those, I have a few sets of male doll's clothes, wait for you to wash and put them on, sleep well, pass the test tomorrow, and you can really become my junior brother. His words almost made Qinglian's tears flow, and she held back. When she learned of his origins not long ago, she felt even more pity.
Gu Ning said: "Then if I can't pass, won't I let you down." ”
"Ha, junior brother, you can rest assured, the rest of these people will pass the assessment, this session is short of people, more than seventy will pass the next level or not, the most important assessment is whether you can enter the core disciple position, you have to work hard, I heard from your senior brother, so you can rest assured, work hard to win the core disciple position, your senior sister and I have a light on my face wherever I go." ”
With her words, he ate it like a reassuring pill and stabilized his heart.
He is working hard to win the position of core disciple, which is the best.
While drinking hot water to warm my stomach, I secretly made up my mind in my heart.
