Zhengqimen, according to legend, was one of the best and most decent in the land of Liangguo more than 100 years ago. But for some reason, Xuanyangzi, the head of the Zhengqi Gate at that time, actually went mad because of practicing the secret skills of the sect, and he himself killed dozens of Zhengqi Gate Dharma Protector Elders overnight, and the disciples in the door were killed and injured countless times.

According to legend, after Xuanyangzi went mad, he was reasonably surrounded and suppressed by the major famous and decent families on the rivers and lakes at that time, and was finally surrounded and killed by the masters of the major factions soon after.

Legend has it that in that great fight, the major factions dispatched more than 30 masters of the Great Perfection of the True Yuan Realm. In that fight, it is rumored that Xuanyangzi alone is an enemy of more than 30 masters, regardless of whether he is up or down, and he fought until the sky was dark, and he fought for three days and three nights.

In the end, according to legend, the strongest martial arts master in Liangguo, Master Huineng, the host of Fanyin Temple, has made a move, and Master Huineng is worthy of being the strongest master of Liangguo. That Xuanyangzi saw that Master Huineng wanted to escape, but he didn't want Master Huineng to use the Fanyin Temple's peerless Vajra Fu Demon Stick.

Legend has it that this mastery has been learned since the creation of the Fanyin Temple, except for the founding of the master Qingyuan, who has learned badly, in the past three hundred years, no one has learned it, which shows how difficult it is to learn the Vajra Fu Demon Stick. I don't want to let Master Huineng learn this Fanyin Temple after three hundred years. That Xuanyangzi was also a master of the Great Perfection of the True Yuan Realm, but he didn't want to be able to defeat Master Huineng's Vajra Demon Stick Method, and was brutally killed by Master Huineng under the stick.

Although Xuanyangzi was removed by Master Huineng, it can be regarded as a major harm to the martial arts, but Xuanyangzi killed dozens of Dharma Protector Elders of the Zhengqi Gate, and there are countless disciples. In this way, the vitality of the righteous valve was greatly damaged, and after this incident, it was reduced from a big martial arts faction to a small faction in martial arts.

After going around for more than 100 years, this righteous valve has long ceased to be the style of the martial arts faction of the past. And the sect has moved from Qingyun Mountain, a famous mountain in Liangguo, to Xinglai Mountain near this Xinglai City.

This Xinglai Mountain is more than 1,500 zhang high, majestic and magnificent, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, there are more cliffs, carelessly, fall down from the mountain cliff, it must be a broken body, expose the corpse of the mountain. If it's a mountain village man who doesn't have martial arts, I'm afraid he won't be able to climb it no matter what.

This mountain is covered by white fog all the year round, and I can't see what the peak looks like, but I know that every night, some stars in the sky seem to gather on the top of this mountain, shining on the top of Xinglai Mountain. Under the illumination of the stars, Xinglai Mountain, which is not visible to the world, adds a mysterious atmosphere.

Over time, some people near Xinglai City named this mountain Xinglai Mountain, which means Xinglai.

Qin Bufan was standing at the foot of this Xinglai Mountain at this moment, and there were about fifty people who followed him.

When they followed the three righteous disciples all the way to the three poles of the Rishan Mountain, and when they arrived at the foot of the Xinglai Mountain, there were already many people standing under the pavilion at the bottom of the mountain, all of them sweating profusely, looking anxious, and they were already impatient to wait.

Under the pavilion, Qin Bufan glanced at it, but he also saw a few Zhengqi Sect disciples dressed in white, those disciples were also about twenty years old, with their hair tied on the top of their heads, coiled in a mixed yuan bun, holding a sword in their hands, and they all looked like dust. Similarly, they also had a small cyan sword embroidered on their chests, and they were looking at Qin Bufan and them with anxious expressions at this time.

When they saw the few righteous qi sect disciples who had brought Qin Bufan and these people here, the few disciples who were standing under the pavilion hurriedly ran over and said to the older man, "Ouch, my Senior Brother Zhao, we've been waiting for you for a long time. Why is Senior Brother so slow today? Isn't there some kind of trouble?"

It turned out that the older man's surname was Zhao, and the disciple surnamed Zhao heard the complaints of several fellow disciples, and his face was not very good-looking, after all, they were half an hour late from the agreed hour. At this time, it was difficult to say anything, so he said: "Brother Wei didn't encounter any trouble, but it was delayed for some time when recruiting disciples, since you have already come, it is not too early now, in my opinion, the assessment of admitting outer disciples will start now." ”

When those disciples saw that the surnamed Zhao said this, they didn't ask any more, and immediately said in unison: "Respect Senior Brother's life." ”

After speaking, one of the men with a green sword on his back and a delicate face took out a conch from his arms, which was about the size of a fist, and there was a whistle-like thing on the head of the conch. I saw that the handsome man took out the conch, and he didn't speak, but blew at the conch.

Qin Bufan couldn't understand why the handsome man wanted to blow it up with a conch, after all, the conch was not big, how loud could a fist-sized thing make?

But what Qin Bufan didn't expect was that the moment the handsome man picked up the conch and blew it up, a leisurely conch sound came out, this conch sound made people listen like a dream, obviously the sound was not loud, but it seemed to sound the sound of stormy waves in his ears, Qin Bufan was very curious, could it be that this is the rumored sound conch?

It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that there is a special item in the positive valve, called the sound snail, which is not big, but the sound can be transmitted ten miles away, and with the unique internal strength of the positive valve, it can be judged that the direction and approximate distance of the sound can be judged, and the end is wonderful.

The major factions in the rivers and lakes have asked the Zhengqi Gate for the secret of this snail, but they don't want to, no matter how the major factions ask and exert pressure, this Zhengqi Gate just doesn't say it. After a long time, the major factions will stop this heart, after all, this thing has no actual killing effect, and if it is because of a conch to start a war against the decentness of the rivers and lakes, let the people of the demon faction see it, wouldn't it be a joke?

Qin Bufan's judgment was right, this conch was the long-rumored sound transmission snail on the rivers and lakes.

The handsome man stopped after blowing for more than a dozen breaths, looked at the man surnamed Zhao who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and didn't say anything, so he put away the snail and stood quietly aside.

That is, the time of half a cup of tea, suddenly, a rich male voice came from the Xinglai Mountain: "The old man is called Qingxu, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called Qingxu Patriarch." This door is a positive valve, and today we are recruiting disciples from outside the sect, and this assessment is divided into three levels. And this first level is to climb the Xinglai Mountain with bare hands until the cliff top of the halfway point of the Xinglai Mountain. Of course, there is no need to be afraid of falling off the cliff during the climbing, there will be disciples of my Zhengqi Outer Sect behind you, and they will follow you to protect your life. ”

After speaking, he paused and said loudly: "Of course, if you have not climbed to the top of the cliff of this mountain at sunset, it will be a failure, and my righteous qi sect disciple will take you away from this mountain. ”

After saying this, those people standing at the foot of the mountain were all bitter, and they were right, after all, they were all half-grown children, when had they climbed such a high mountain, although they heard that the self-proclaimed Qingxu Patriarch said that there was someone behind him to protect him, but after all, this mountain was too majestic, in case something went wrong and fell down from the middle of the mountain, it must be a broken body, and there was no corpse.

Some timid half-grown children had already shook their heads and walked away silently. And some gritted their teeth and stayed where they were. This part of the children are all dressed in sackcloth, and they look like children from poor families. It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, although these half-grown children are still young, but their hearts are also tenacious, and they did not leave.

There are also some children wearing brocade clothes, and at first glance they are rich and noble children of rich families, and looking at those children, they are all tigers and bears, and the soles of their feet are windy, they are all practicing families!

Qin Bufan looked at the towering mountains, the color was cloudy and uncertain, but he thought about the four walls of his family, his father was lying on the bed waiting for money to buy medicine to cure his illness, gritted his teeth, and said secretly: Since you have chosen this path at the beginning, how can you retreat halfway.

Immediately walked towards the rugged mountain road.

The mountain road is rugged, but it is very wide, and it does not seem crowded when more than a dozen people walk at the same time, Qin Bufan watched more and more people following behind him, but the scene was surprisingly quiet, and the atmosphere seemed to be tense.

Qin Bufan looked at the people walking in front of him, and couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, and secretly said that he must not lose to them. At the moment, the pace accelerated, and the whole person was a little faster.

walked straight for more than an hour, and at this time, Qin Bufan was walking halfway up the mountain. As far as the eye can see, the rugged mountain road is gone, and in front of Qin Bufan's eyes is a cliff. From the highest part of the cliff, countless vines grow down the cliff and grow all the way down to the bottom of the cliff.

Each of those vines was three fingers thick, and I was afraid that more than a dozen adult men would pull it hard, and they would all pull it constantly.

Qin Bufan walked here, he was already tired and out of breath, looking at his peers who were sitting paralyzed at the bottom of the mountainside, he was silent for a long time, he only felt that his mouth was dry, there seemed to be a fire dragon churning in his chest, and his whole throat seemed to be about to explode.

But when Qin Bufan looked up, he found that there were already five or six people on the cliff at this time, holding vines one by one, trying to climb up. And behind them, each of them was followed by a righteous qi sect disciple dressed in white and embroidered with a small cyan sword on his chest.

Those disciples also held the vines in their hands, closely following those children, in case those children were unable to continue their strength and couldn't grasp the vines, and when they fell down, those righteous disciples would always immediately catch those children and protect the safety of those children.

If you can't climb halfway up the mountain, you can't climb down, and if you shout down, those disciples will naturally escort those children safely, and of course, this assessment will naturally fail.

Qin Bufan looked at the cliff about 300 zhang high, swallowed his saliva, cleaned up his mood, and then walked towards the cliff with a resolute face.

The cliffs are all composed of natural rocks, and in some places you will feel very slippery when you pedal on them, and if you are not careful, you are afraid that your legs will hang in the air and the whole person will crash into the mountain wall. In some places, the rocks are dense and sharp. If you are not careful, you will open a gap in your hand, and the bleeding will not stop.

Fortunately, Qin Bufan has learned some family-handed techniques to strengthen his body since he was a child, and his muscles and bones are okay, and he doesn't feel that it is difficult for a while.

But the more he climbed, the more difficult it was to climb this stone wall, seeing that more than half an hour had passed, the sky was almost dark, but Qin Bufan had only climbed less than half of it, and then Qin Bufan realized that this cliff was so difficult to climb, and when he looked up, several people had already climbed to the top of the mountain.

Qin Bufan felt that the whole person was about to lose his strength, and at this time, he suddenly stepped on the air while crawling, and the whole person was suspended in the air.

Qin Bufan was shocked, cold sweat broke out, he hurriedly fixed his body, stuck tightly to the mountain wall, calmed down, and said in his heart: It's dangerous, it's dangerous, I almost fell down.

Looking down further, the disciple who had been following behind him was also startled, but he was also secretly relieved to see that Qin Bufan was unharmed. The man looked at Qin Bufan, who was sweating, the corners of his mouth raised, and he smiled contemptuously, but he didn't say a word. Just watched him quietly.

Qin Bufan naturally saw the contemptuous expression of the man behind him, and secretly annoyed in his heart: Wait, I will climb up.

At that moment, he stopped resting, kicked his legs, and climbed up hard. When we reached the top of the cliff, it was just before the sun set.
