The scenery of the valley is picturesque and warm like spring. But Wang Xiaofan couldn't feel it for a long time. At this time, he could not see the color, his ears did not hear, his nose did not smell, his tongue did not know the taste, his body did not feel warm, and he did not realize it. It's like a dead man.

"Those who don't pass the test, they are waiting here, stay in the valley for a month, and someone will send you back after a month. After the old man finished speaking indifferently, he left with Murong Yue and the other four.

"Murong Yue was born with a spiritual root, and her qualifications must be excellent, you see how good the elder's attitude towards her is!

"And the people of the Hu family have also been chosen, and after Xiang Bi goes back, his family will definitely rise. ”

"That Wang Shujin of the Wang family, it was lucky that he had a treasure to give to the elders, so he was selected as a registered disciple and stayed. ”

"There must be no noise in the Qingyun Sect, otherwise you will be expelled from the mountain gate. A Qingyun Sect monk snorted, and suddenly frightened all the young people to stop in unison, he nodded unsatisfied, and said. "Line up and follow me to Qingyun Villa for a month, although it's only a month, but there is enough aura here, and you can get some benefits. ”

Wang Xiaofan was already in a state of confusion, and he didn't listen to other people's words at all, but just walked stiffly, and when he came back to his senses, it was already midnight.

The night covers the sky, the moon hangs high, and the sky is full of stars. Outside the house, insects and birds contended, as if chanting in unison.

Wang Xiaofan was lying on the stone bed, his heart was tired, he couldn't sleep for a while, but the illusions were flying, as if he saw his father's sad and disappointed eyes, and at the same time, he seemed to see that he was omnipotent and turned over the river and the sea, becoming an omnipotent monk, stepping on the sword and swimming in the nine heavens.

The night passed in all kinds of illusions.

The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Wang Xiaofan was awakened by the sound outside the house. He quickly got up, and when he went out of the house, he saw that the young men had gathered in the open space outside the house, and standing in front of the young men was the elder who had assessed them yesterday.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xiaofan's heart couldn't help but tighten, right?

"Elder Hu, the teenagers who were defeated yesterday are all here. A gray-robed monk said to Elder Hu with a little flattery.

"Hmm!" Elder Hu replied, glancing at the teenagers with his squinting eyes, before he said. "I summoned you today because my Qingyun Sect needs some outer disciples, if you are interested, you can participate in the assessment with me, and you can stay if you pass. ”

"Although the outer disciples are not as good as the true disciples, they can also obtain a part of the cultivation method, if they practice hard, and are diligent enough to add some opportunities, they may not be able to obtain immortal fate. ”

As soon as Elder Hu's words fell, all the young people suddenly rejoiced, although the outer disciples could not cultivate immortals, but they could stay here and become an outer disciple, which could be regarded as a glorious lintel and an immortal master.

Wang Xiaofan was even more excited and trembling, this will be his last chance, whether he can stay depends on this time.

Seeing that all the young people were happy, Elder Hu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "Okay, since that's the case, you come with me." ”

The Asking Heart Road, which is also a famous place in the Qingyun Sect, is for the Qingyun Sect's founding patriarch Qingyun Zhenren, when he cultivated to reach the Yuanying Great Perfection, he exerted his best strength, attracted ice water from the top of the mountain, washed down, and was specially used to test the heart of the new disciples. Although there are no more Yuan infancy monks in Qingyun Sect now, the current head of the sect is also a figure in the middle of Jindan, and this path of conscience has also been well preserved.

Today, the place where the outer disciples are assessed is here.

Under the leadership of Hu Changchang, everyone came to a meadow, dozens of feet away from the grassland, which is the road of inquiry. I saw the flowing water pouring down from the high mountain, and the scenery was like a waterfall that went straight down 3,000 feet. Under the water flow is a steep slope, in which the strange rocks are craggy, and it is extremely strange and difficult to walk in the slope of flowing water. The water is about half a person's height, and it is difficult to stand on it. And this time, the assessment of the road of conscience fell on it.

Elder Hu pointed to the path of inquiry with an expressionless face and said, "If you climb to the top of the mountain from here within an hour, you will be considered to have passed the assessment." ”

Although it is in the water, and the mountains and rocks are rugged, and the stone surface is smooth, it is only more than 200 meters away, so the teenagers feel full of confidence at first sight.

After Elder Hu gave an order, the young men rushed into the path of inquiry with a roar.

Wang Xiaofan has a thin physique, and he fell behind at the beginning.

As soon as I entered the path of inquiry, the water flow was not too turbulent, and although the water temperature was low, it was also within the tolerance range of the body. Some teenagers with excellent physique and who have practiced martial arts are going straight up against the current and rushing out of more than 50 meters in one breath. But once this distance is crossed, the water becomes turbulent, and the water temperature is even below zero, and it is even more mixed with ice edges, which are like sharp knives driven by the current, and if you are not careful, you will be cut with a wound.

Therefore, the road that was relatively easy in front of it suddenly became difficult.

The chest cavity was scorching, dense beads of sweat flowed down his forehead, and he was immediately rinsed with cold water, Wang Xiaofan's speed is getting slower and slower, from the original step by step to the current use of both hands and feet. His whole body was submerged in the water, and his body leaned down as much as possible to reduce the impact of the current, and he used his hands and feet together to climb the rocks at the bottom of the water and move slowly upward. The clothes at the knees and elbows had long been worn out, and the bare skin had already been peeled open and blood flowed under the double wash of strange stones and ice edges.

The more than 200-meter-long road of inquiry is like a heavenly gap for a group of teenagers. Everyone is struggling to move forward, and the goal is to stay, in order to become an immortal master and shine on the lintel. The wounds on their bodies gradually intensified, and the bright red blood stained the water red.

Looking down from the sky, the Path of Inquiry resembles a strange beast with a strange mouth open, a river of blood full of evil aura. The young man in the river went upstream, and for a while, a tragic and tragic aura permeated.

When the dozen or so Qingyun Sect monks who were standing on the side of the Wenxin Road to supervise saw this scene, they couldn't help but have complicated expressions on their faces.

"A quarter of an hour to go. ”

The monk who was clocking on the side of the Questioning Road shouted, and the rolling sound spread throughout the entire Questioning Road. At this moment, the teenagers with the best physical fitness are not far from the finish line. The water flow became more urgent, and the ice edges became gravel one by one.

A young man in front of him was climbing up with his head down and grasping the strange rock at the bottom of the water, and although his hands were already wounded, his eyes revealed a determined look. Seeing that he was about to reach the target in one step, but at this time, he saw a piece of broken ice smash on his forehead with a 'bang', and the blood immediately flowed, and the figure was washed down by the rapids.

The monk who was in charge of the safety of the boys immediately struck out, lifted the boy out of the current, and landed in the open space as fast as he could.

Elder Hu glanced at him indifferently and said lightly, "Bandage him, and when this matter is over, I will send him home." ”

When the young man heard this, he stood up abruptly and begged, "Elder, please give me another chance, I only have one step left, and I am only one step away from completing it!"

Elder Hu shook his head and said, "No." ”

"I'm only one step away, why don't the elders give me another chance, why?" the young man suddenly broke down and cried.

Elder Hu's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he shouted: "Cultivating immortals, not only must be qualified, but also have a chance, that piece of broken ice smashes you down, it means that you have no chance, no chance, you have no chance with the Great Dao! Don't force it, go down!"

When the boy heard this, he immediately fell to the ground.

At the same time, the young man in the path of inquiry slowly gave birth to desperate thoughts in his heart.

"There is no time, the higher we climb, the faster the current, the bigger the ice, the lower the temperature, we have no hope. ”

Seeing that there was no hope, the young men immediately sighed, but they just grabbed the strange stones on their bodies with their hands and feet, and stopped moving.

Wang Xiaofan couldn't hear or see such words and actions, and his spirit was already blurred. Now I can act, with a willful will and unyielding. The other teenagers gave up one by one, but he still climbed up little by little, moving on the crutches little by little.

The palms, elbows, arms, and knees were all ground into a bloody blur, and the chest on his face was cut into dense wounds by the ice edges. But he didn't feel it anymore.

At this moment, Wang Xiaofan has only one belief in his heart, climb up, move forward, move forward, and move forward again.

No amount of difficulty could stop him.

His father's expectations, he could not let his father's hopes be disappointed.

At this time, the battle sky, the battlefield, and even more so the battle himself, there is no limit in front of him, only himself is his limit.

Forward, forward, forward, only then can he stay.

War!
