Chapter 3 Snow Ridge Test
Coming out of the mountain town, the warriors were transported to a new place.
This is a clearing at the foot of a snowy peak, and in front of the warriors is a majestic snow-capped mountain.
In the previous life of Baiya, Yizhou Shudi was surrounded by mountains, and the west was the Tibetan Plateau, and the basin was surrounded by mountain ranges, so the climate was warm. In addition, the altitude of Qingcheng Mountain is not high, and the highest peak, Lao Xiaoding, is only more than 1,200 meters.
Therefore, the whole mountain is verdant and evergreen, and it is known as "the green city is secluded in the world".
However, this world is different!
Yizhou Shudi is countless times larger than Baiya's previous life, and the lock of the trapped dragon in the basin is still there, but it can't lock the warm climate, and the four seasons rotate normally. And Qingcheng Mountain, in the great fission of heaven and earth for thousands of years, has slowly extended into a green dragon of thousands of miles.
Today's Qingcheng Mountain has thousands of meters, and even tens of thousands of meters high snow peaks. The snowy peak in front of me seems to be one of them.
This snowy peak has an extremely strange shape, like a funnel on the ground.
The lower third of the mountain peaks have a gentle slope and the mountains are lush with vegetation. By the third of the way up the mountain, the terrain suddenly becomes steep, like the tip of a funnel, almost straight up and down, covering Optimus Prime in a thick layer of snow.
"This peak is called the top of the Snow Ridge, and it is the second level of the martial arts test!
Just as the warriors looked up, a warrior in Tsing Yi appeared on a cliff platform near the foot of the mountain. He looked at the seven or eight thousand martial artists in front of him. The tone is not high, but it is enough for everyone to hear clearly.
"You have generally guessed by now, the first ten days are the first level of the heart pass!" "The Tsing Yi warrior put his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "However, the person who is eliminated in that level is inevitably not luck, because the next level is called the life and death level......
With the words of the Tsing Yi warrior, the warriors finally determined that this time the Qingcheng faction did not play tricks, but really wanted them to climb the snow-capped mountain in front of them.
Hearing this, many of the martial disciples began to look happy and eager to try. In their opinion, no matter how high this mountain is, it is no more than 10,000 meters, and they are afraid that they can run a round trip in a day, which is really insignificant.
However, there are also many people with solemn faces, and White Cliff is one of them.
White Cliff had never climbed a snow-capped mountain before, but he had seen a lot of news about the Mount Everest mountaineering expedition in his previous life. When the Chinese team reached the top successfully, he seemed to have watched a documentary.
He doesn't remember how tall Mount Everest was, but it probably didn't exceed 10,000 meters.
In fact, Baiya vaguely remembers that the so-called summit of Mount Everest does not start directly from the foot of the mountain. Instead, they would go up four or five thousand meters, and then the expedition would set up several camps on the mountainside before finally starting to attack the summit.
These expeditions are fully equipped, not counting ordinary mountaineering equipment, they will also carry tents, cryogenic fuel, radios, medicines, oxygen, adrenaline hormones and other expedition equipment.
Still, until the sixties of the twentieth century, climbing Mount Everest was a huge adventure of life and death.
Countless mountaineering explorers have not seen anyone dead or dead on Mount Everest, and nine out of ten have died, and the only one who survived was directly down the mountainside.
It was not until the sixties, when the latecomers were better equipped and learned from the failures of their predecessors, that the number of victims on Everest began to slowly decline.
In the 21st century, Mount Everest has been like the White Lady, lying at the foot of countless Fahai, almost becoming a bus, and anyone can go up and brush their faces. Those who haven't been up are embarrassed to say that they are disciples, oh no, mountaineering explorers!
But the problem is that these warriors don't have mountaineering equipment!
Not to mention oxygen tanks, fuel and adrenaline, they don't even have a minimum tent and lack experience in mountaineering.
All the martial disciples are too optimistic, even if they are all strong in the qi realm, but the Tsing Yi martial artist is not wrong at all, this is still a matter of life and death!
"Silence!" Seeing that the warriors at the foot of the mountain began to make noise, the face of the warrior in Tsing Yi sank, and the sound was like thunder, which shook everyone's ears, and the foot of the mountain suddenly quieted down.
"Qingcheng martial arts test three levels, none of them is easy, you wait so lightly, you will only die if you go up the mountain!" the Qingyi martial artist cleared his throat and reminded.
"Xueling Ding, as a martial arts test checkpoint, has entered Qingcheng three times since thirty years ago. Less than 50% of those who pass each time, 40% of those who give up halfway, and 10% of them, hehe......"
The sentence "hehe" of the warrior in Tsing Yi made all the warriors stand up goosebumps, and their eyes began to change.
Seeing that the martial disciples finally listened to him carefully, the Tsing Yi warrior nodded with satisfaction and continued: "It is very simple to pass this level, it does not require you to go directly to the peak, only to pick a snow lotus flower from the top of the mountain!"
"Snow lotus loves cold and feeds on snow pith, blooming every 30 years and producing three to seven snow lotus seeds. The warrior in Tsing Yi squinted his eyes and smiled, "Therefore, the higher you go, the higher you go, the greater the probability of finding the snow lotus." If you can reach the top of the snow peak, then you can see the snow lotus on the top of the mountain!"
"The lotus seed of the Snow Lotus Flower is the most yin and cold thing, and it is the main material of the Snow Lotus Pill, a martial arts holy medicine, which is extremely beneficial to improving the cultivation of the Qi Realm, and it can be said that it is difficult to buy. The warrior in Tsing Yi said slowly, "The martial apprentice who picks the snow lotus, just hand over the flowers, and the lotus seeds will belong to you and others." ”
"We might be able to pick a few more snow lotuses?" the martial artists' eyes lit up when they heard this, and some of the martial disciples standing near the stone platform suddenly shouted loudly.
"Of course, if you can collect as much as you can, you will take all the snow lotus on the peak, and Qingcheng will never say anything!" said indifferently with a sneer on the corner of the Tsing Yi warrior's mouth.
Bai Ya felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and immediately understood that he would definitely not be able to reach the peak, or that it would be impossible for a Qi Realm martial artist to reach the peak.
This should be the result of thousands of years of testing by the Qingcheng faction, if there are martial arts interests and dare to take risks to the top, I am afraid that I will definitely die!
"However, it is difficult to reach the peak with your cultivation, so it's best not to try it lightly!" As if feeling that what he just said was a little inappropriate, the Tsing Yi martial artist thought about it and added it lightly.
"In addition, if you can't hold on to it on the mountain, then use the fire fold to light the Zhong Lingmu card in your hand. The smoke produced by Zhong Lingmu has a peculiar smell, which can easily spread for thousands of miles, and someone in Qingcheng will come to pick you up from the mountain!"
Hearing that there was still a means of rescue, Bai Ya and many martial disciples secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, they could get through the mental pass, and many people were still very calm.
As the martial artists in Tsing Yi said before, those martial artists who are not calm enough are lucky not to come.
Perhaps this is also the reason why teachers like Feng Yang never remind students how to get through the mental barrier.
There is no child's play in the face of life and death!
Helping students is harming students, and the Qingcheng faction uses the most severe means to eliminate cheating.
"It's just that although Qingcheng has the means to save you, once you ask for help, then the reward is all the snow lotus and snow lotus seeds on your body!" The Qingyi martial artist said it as a matter of course, but when some martial disciples heard it, they immediately dispelled some unnecessary thoughts.
"In addition, even if there is a means of asking for help, there will still be nearly one percent of the martial disciples who have fallen on the mountain in the past sessions of this level, so there are still five evils on the top of the Snow Ridge!" said the martial artist in Tsing Yi, his face was also a little more solemn.
"The first evil is sleep, and although it is summer, the nights on the mountain are extremely cold. Over the years, there have been warriors who will freeze to death unknowingly, so you must pay attention to keep warm......"
"The second pest is thin ice, this peak is steep, there are many mountain streams on the mountain, but most of them are frozen on thin ice, and the appearance is not visible. You must investigate as you go, if you accidentally step on the snow and thin ice on the mountain stream...... Then the gods can't be saved!"
Bai Ya was terrified when he heard this, how to investigate this thing depends entirely on luck! Looking around, the other martial disciples also had a concern on their faces, obviously thinking of the same question.
However, the warrior in Tsing Yi didn't have time to pay attention to their careful thoughts, and continued: "The third evil is the avalanche, when you get to the mountain, don't shout loudly, connect with each other. Otherwise, if an avalanche is triggered and the rescuers don't catch up, then ......"
Bai Ya raised his eyebrows slightly, speaking of tandem, he seemed to be able to walk with other martial artists! The danger of everyone walking together was much smaller, with so many pairs of eyes watching, someone would always find the terrain of the mountain stream.
"The fourth pest belongs to all kinds of snow beasts that live in the mountains all year round, including mammoths, snow apes, crystal snakes, frozen ants, etc., among which mammoths and snow apes have a strong sense of territory, as long as you are careful to avoid them. But if you encounter crystal snakes and frozen ants living in groups, how far can you escape......"
"The last evil...... It's a person!" The Tsing Yi warrior said this, and suddenly smiled, "After you pick the snow lotus in a high place, remember to stay away from others." Otherwise, if you are robbed of someone, it will be a small matter, and if you are killed again, it will not be worth it!"
Your sister, it's all right!
Bai Ya, who just wanted to team up with someone, was dumbfounded, and said in his heart, don't you care about this?
"I can't care if I wait!After all, there are too many martial artists, and there are not so many helpers under this seat to watch!" The Tsing Yi martial artist seemed to hear Bai Ya's heart, pretended to be regretful, shook his head, and reminded with a light smile.
"It's just that once the martial artist who kills and grabs the treasure is caught by this seat or other Qingcheng martial artists, he will definitely be severely punished! The murderer dies, the treasure snatcher is expelled from the mountain, and he will never be tested again!"
Bai Ya's heart was half cold when he heard this, and he suddenly understood that this must be another mental test.
The Qingcheng warriors definitely have a way to monitor the entire snow peak, otherwise, with the five evils that the Qingyi warriors just said, how can only one percent of the martial artists fall over the years, and it is possible to die seventy or eighty percent!
Qingcheng is a Taoist gate, how can it be possible to allow cannibalism with the same door, but the Qingyi warrior has vaguely hinted that everyone can snatch other people's snow lotus, is this possible without close monitoring?
Not to mention Qingcheng, it is the previous Blood Knife Gate, Wang Peng has warned him, it is nothing to kill people in the world, but he can't use the knife in the same door.
The Immortal Martial Sect accepts apprentices for inheritance, and if you want to experience the law of the jungle, you can let the apprentices go to the rivers and lakes to practice, where you need to kill each other, even the Evil Demon Sect will not do this.
The senior brother is wary of the junior brother, and the teacher is afraid of the students! Can this sect still have cohesion? What are you teaching the apprentices for, for fear that you will not be fast enough in the jungle?
No wonder Wang Peng never forgot the word heart before, no wonder Hui Nan once said that the sect accepts disciples, the heart is the heaviest, and the qualification is the second!
Qingcheng martial arts test three levels, although I don't know the content of the third level, but the first two levels of the test of the heart are almost extremely harsh!
The first level brushed off the immature martial artists, and the second level is to brush off the vicious people!
