Chapter Seventy-Eight: Thousand Steps Dragon Gate Dao
In front of the mountain gate of Qianji Gate, there are three peaks side by side, the middle one is the highest, which is the Yingke Peak, and the two peaks on the left and right are slightly shorter, one of which is the Longmen Peak. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Longmen Peak opens once in ten years, it is the last pass of the Qianjimen assessment disciples, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, a long and wide stone road has been built, a total of 1,000 steps, known as the thousand-step Longmen Road.
Tens of thousands of people flocked to the thousand-step Longmen Road, even though the road was very wide, it seemed crowded, and everyone scrambled to step on the steps.
Gu Shaohua and Chu Yun walked close to each other, and they didn't ask for anything to take care of each other, just a natural embodiment of human emotions, and they were willing to be with people they knew well.
Stepping on the first step, I didn't feel anything, I stepped on the second step non-stop, and immediately felt a slight sinking on my body, adding a point of weight.
The thousand-step dragon gate road is a special passage, which is blessed with gravity, and the gravity in different areas is different, and it is arranged from bottom to top, that is, the higher the gravity, the greater the gravity.
There are no rewards for the entry assessment, but everyone still holds their strength and climbs up quickly, striving for good performance and getting a good ranking.
Everyone is not stupid, the better the performance, the better the ranking, the more attention they will naturally receive in the sect, and the better the teachings and resources they will obtain.
Everyone walked the first hundred steps very quickly, and Gu Shaohua was no exception, although every time he took a step up, he would feel a little heavier in his body, but at this time, the increased gravity was not too strong.
After 300 steps, everyone's speed slowed down, first, the gravity gradually increased, to the point that it could not be ignored; second, there was a degree of relaxation, and the early stage should not be too strong, otherwise, the strength will not continue.
Some people slowed down, others got faster, and one or two hundred people kept their speed the same, and even, slightly faster, and quickly climbed up.
These arrogant lords did have some ability, and soon climbed more than five hundred steps, but at this time, they gradually had a distinction between each other.
Most of them even wanted to be faster, but they had no choice but to slow down, only two people, a man and a woman, no, it should be said that a teenager and a girl, as always, maintained their speed and climbed up.
On the four hundred steps, Gu Shaohua still has spare strength, if he wants to be faster, although he can't compete with the two people at the top, it is no problem to squeeze into the second echelon.
But seeing that Chu Yun was not very easy, he had been climbing meticulously according to the methods and skills taught by Tie Musheng, and he was not easy to accelerate, so as not to disrupt his rhythm.
The thousand-step Longmen Dao tests a monk's comprehensive ability, such as cultivation, strength, endurance, understanding, ingenuity and perseverance, toughness, etc., as long as there are one or two aspects that are excellent, you should be able to pass.
The methods and techniques that Temusheng told were a way to save more effort through the thousand-step dragon gate road, and they were lessons learned from the predecessors, although they could not play a decisive role, they could undoubtedly increase the chances of winning by one or two points.
Not to mention those who are sure enough to pass through the Longmen Road, those who win or lose between two points, who can win further and lose if they take one step back, have this opportunity to increase their chances of winning by one or two points, which is tantamount to the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
On the 1,000 steps, the distribution of gravity is not uniform, on the same step, there are strong places and weak places, if you can find most of the weak places to travel, it is equivalent to a level of difficulty dropped.
There is a certain pattern in the distribution of strength and weakness, which can be perceived by a keen person, or someone can tell the experience, and can pay attention to one or two.
Gu Shaohua didn't pay attention to these skills, or sought the strength of gravity distribution, and it was not difficult to rush up with just a brute force.
After going up 500 steps, the speed of the third echelon slowed down slightly, and even some people fell behind to become the fourth echelon, while the second echelon had reached more than 600 steps.
The best are still the two people in the first echelon, and the speed of climbing up has never decreased, and it has faintly improved, and they have climbed more than 800 steps in a very short time.
These two people don't look very old, they should not be more than twenty years old, but their abilities have to be admired, Gu Shaohua pays for himself, and it is impossible for him to compete with him.
Step by step, step by step, slowly going up, when he reached eight hundred steps, Gu Shaohua felt strained, as if he had pressed a mountain on his body, weighing ten thousand catties, and it was difficult to move an inch.
At 800 steps, the gravity was so strong that many people's waists were slightly bent, and their legs seemed to be filled with lead, and it was very laborious to move a single step.
Many people are already supported by perseverance, walking up step by step, they are simply being hard to beat, their strength has long been overdrawn, sweat wet clothes, and every step they take, they will leave a footprint on the steps, a footprint composed of sweat.
Chu Yun's situation is not very good, his head and face are sweaty, although his back is still straight, every step forward, but he needs to accumulate strength for a while.
Gu Shaohua was a little struggling, but he was much better than Chu Yun, only there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and he had some difficulty walking, but nothing else.
When Gu Shaohua went up 800 steps, the second echelon was still dozens of steps ahead, and the best was still the first echelon, which had reached more than 990 steps.
"Wang Yu, He Xiaoran, it's over. ”
A voice without any fluctuations spread out.
This voice has no ups and downs, no emotion, and for those who are climbing the thousand-step dragon gate road hard, it is like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, leaving a thunderbolt in the air.
"Senior Brother Chu, come on, don't give up. ”
Gu Shaohua was anxious and cheered Chu Yun up.
Someone has already cleared the customs, not only Gu Shaohua is in a hurry, but everyone who is still climbing the steps is anxious, the first two are occupied, and the third one can't be caught, and it will really be lost to everyone.
The 100 people in the second echelon really fought, and I don't know how many people shouted, and suddenly exerted their strength, and the speed of going up step by step became much faster.
The increased speed is still inferior to the speed of ordinary people climbing stairs, but on this thousand-step dragon gate road, this speed is already considerable.
Although there were some firsts and lasts, everyone still climbed the last hundred and ten steps relatively quickly and passed the level one after another.
Then, those who are still struggling on the thousand-step Longmen Road are the people of the third echelon and the fourth echelon, and the third echelon is okay to say, although it is lagging behind, it is still climbing up step by step, and it is not forgiving.
The fourth echelon was a bit dangerous, many of them were sweaty and heavily clothed, and their bodies were sore, unable to climb upwards, and they actually lay down on the steps.
Walking this thousand-step dragon gate road, there is no time limit, even if you pass when you go to the top, but if you lie down, you can't walk over, you can only become a miscellaneous disciple.
On the 900 steps, Chu Yun was a little at the limit, sweating like rain on his body, and steaming hot above his head, as if he was staying in a steamer.
Gu Shaohua was a little better than Chu Yun, but he was also sweating all over his body, his body was steaming, his hands and feet were sore, and he was almost at the limit.
