Chapter 2 Mountaineering
Tianji Peak is located in the southeast of China. March is a good season for spring flowers to bloom and birds to grow. ⊕:⊕Jiu Astronomy Network⊕Network⊕
Since today is the day when Taiyi Dao recruits disciples, Rou'er couldn't even find a car, so she could only follow Gao Huan and Shi Yuan with a bitter face. With her martial arts cultivation, walking a mountain road of more than ten miles is nothing. But she never touched the ground with Lin Ke, and she was really uncomfortable walking like this.
For thousands of years, I don’t know how many times the road from Tianji City to Tianji Peak has been paved. The smooth road paved with thick bluestone slabs leads directly to the top of the mountain.
The long list of people and dragons seemed to be able to connect to the distant Tianji Mountain. The lively and almost crowded crowded crowd reminded Gao Huan of the scenes when he visited scenic spots and historical sites during his previous life. As far as he saw, there were figures. Everyone walked around lively and didn’t know what they saw.
Compared with Rou'er who was frowning, Shi Yuanda looked around and looked excited. Gao Huan looked calm and looked ahead, and remained silent.
Gao Huan's fine linen long clothes and barefoot hemp shoes are obviously low-ranking civilians. They are just Gao Huan's bright and elegant style, but they cannot be covered by these external objects.
Although there are many young people around who are dressed and angry, in the eyes of some people, those are just ordinary people, just sand and stones in the world. Gao Huan is the shiny pearls and jade among countless sand and stones. No matter how many sand and stones are around, they can only highlight Gao Huan's extraordinaryness.
After walking for a while, an old Taoist in yellow clothes holding a whisk arrived at Gao Huan happily and said with a smile: "This donor, the heavenly court is full of square radius, and he looks like a genius with extraordinary talent..." After saying a lot of good words, Gao Huan didn't react, he said again: "Taiyi Dao is the first Taoist sect in the world, and it is indeed a good place. But it has a big disadvantage."
The old Taoist said, pulling his beard and paused deliberately. Gao Huan had long been familiar with this method of showing off his lawsuit and ignored it. Shi Yuan couldn't help but ask, "What's the disadvantage?"
Seeing someone talking, the old Taoist hurriedly said, "The conditions for Taiyidao to include disciples are extremely strict, and in recent years, Taiyidao has also become corrupt and corrupt. Recruiting disciples has become a means for many people to make money. If there is no way, even a peerless genius will at most become an inner disciple. You must endure three years of hard work before you have the opportunity to become a true disciple. But you don't know how precious these three years of life are. Once you waste it, it will be difficult to make up for it even if you spend thirty years in the future."
Speaking of this, the old Taoist changed the subject, "The old Taoist is Liuyun, the elder of Zhengyang Sect. Although the Zhengyang Sect is not the Four Great Dao Sects, it is also a famous sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is the leading sect in Qingzhou. If the donor comes to this sect, he will immediately become a true disciple. It is not that the old Taoist boasted that the Tiangang Pure Yang Sword of our sect is the first-class unique skill in the world, and it is no less than the Four Great Dao Sects."
Gao Huan bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, this Taoist priest, for your kindness. But I have made up my mind and just want to join Taiyi Dao."
The old Taoist felt very sorry when he saw Gao Huan so determined. "If Taiyi Dao doesn't accept you, come to me. Jiutianyi.com left a paper crane for Gao Huan to communicate with him for easy contact. The old Taoist actually knew that even a sect like Taiyi Dao, talents like Gao Huan would never let go.
However, the old Taoist also held hope for whatever reason. Taiyi Dao is now relied on the first Taoist sect, and is very proud and arrogant. Maybe Gao Huan will be wiped out for some reason.
On the mountain road of more than ten miles, Gao Huan encountered a total of six people who wanted to accept disciples. Moreover, the conditions offered were very generous. Gao Huan was so much that he envied Shi Yuan. There were so many people coming, but no one looked at him directly.
Because of the large number of people, it took almost an hour to climb to the Taishang Hall on the hillside. The Taishang Hall was magnificent, and you can see the purple gold tiles on the main hall shining in the sun from afar.
This is for worshiping believers. The Grand Palace is nine rooms wide and seven rooms deep. It is particularly beautiful and majestic, and it makes people feel awe-inspiring at first sight.
Gao Huan and the others did not enter the hall, but waited in the square in front of the hall. The square was crowded with people, and there were countless people standing there. Most of them were talents from all over the country who came to apprenticeship.
Rou'er looked around with her feet, wanting to find Lin Ke and get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible. But she is petite, and no matter how hard she stands on tiptoe, she can't see much distance. Thinking of finding Lin Ke among the chaotic crowd was even more delusional.
Shi Yuan also looked around, wanting to see the situation around him, but he was afraid that he would not find Gao Huan if he got lost, so he was so anxious that he was wandering around. "Brother, why are we waiting here for something, and we don't know where to recruit disciples!" Shi Yuan complained.
Gao Huan said, "It's okay, it's posted in front of me. Before the hour has come, someone will come out later." Gao Huan's eyes were sharp. From a distance, he saw a large notice posted on the wall of the hall, explaining the situation of recruiting disciples. In fact, there were a lot of posts around, but there were too many people and they couldn't see it.
After waiting for almost an hour, the sun was already high in the sky, and three crisp sounds of jade chimes came from the hall. Although the sound was not high, it was shocking. The noisy square like a market suddenly became quiet.
The twelve Taoist children stood in two rows from the side hall. The Taoist children each held swords, pianos, Xiaos, drums and other objects in their hands. At this time, a middle-aged Taoist priest in feathered clothes and star crown slowly walked out. The man's face was like a full moon, his eyebrows were long phoenix eyes, three long whiskers, and his body was full of immortal style.
The middle-aged Taoist priest stood on the high level, his eyes slowly looked around, and his sharp eyes as sharp as a sword made everyone feel cold. The middle-aged Taoist was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and said in a voice: "I, Yu Yangzi, is responsible for presiding over the recruitment of disciples. After a while, all those who want to apprentice masters will get the license plate, and then continue to go up the mountain and gather in front of the Taiyi Holy Emperor Hall on the top of the mountain."
After saying that, Yu Yangzi waved his whisk and turned back to the side hall. At this time, dozens of Taoist priests walked out of the hall, everyone was holding a big basket, and there were also license plates filled with bamboo.
"Boom..." The crowd was like a blowout, rushing in, for fear of falling behind.
Shi Yuan rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush forward. Gao Huan grabbed it, "Don't panic, there are so many people, let's wait."
The Taoists did not distribute license plates, but raised the basket at the bottom, and the thousand-digit number plates flew all over the sky. Gao Huan and the others stood and did not move, but instead took out two license plates.
Shi Yuan grinned and laughed, so happy. "Let you go and grab it, squeeze you to death..."
After leaving the Supreme Palace, Gao Huan and others followed the chiseled steps up the road. Taiyidao has been operating Tianji Peak for thousands of years, and even the stone steps that climbed the mountain are very grand, half a foot high and half a foot long. The first step winds upwards and reaches the top of the mountain.
On the road, I don’t know how many anxious people were using their light skills in a hurry, and the spell passed by Gao Huan and the others at a rapid speed.
After passing the mountain, the wind on the mountain gradually became colder and the fog became more and more. The faint white mist seemed to have a bit of refreshing wetness. It made people feel relieved at the beginning, but after walking for a long time, the white mist became thicker and thicker and heavier. Shi Yuan and Rouer were both half-wet in their clothes, and they felt cold all over. They walked slowly and even started to breathe heavily.
Gao Huan looked at the mountain road in the clouds ahead and knew that the test had begun. The entire mountain was shrouded in the magic circle, and the invisible vitality was oppressing everyone. Not to mention Shi Yuan, a second-level warrior like Rouer, even a third-level and fourth-level warrior who could sense the vitality would be extremely difficult to climb a mountain under the pressure of the magic circle.
Moreover, the stronger your cultivation level, the greater the pressure you face. This is not only physical, but also in the oppression of divine thoughts and souls, which will also make people feel frustrated, lost, and even painful.
It is very, very difficult to climb to the top of the mountain under the control of the magic circle. Just this level should be able to eliminate 99% of the people.
At this time, it was obvious that Shi Yuan and Rou'er were very tough. After so long, they could barely keep up with their feet. Rou'er's face was already blue with a cold face, but she still followed her closely without saying a word.
Gao Huan's cultivation level is a hundred times higher than the two of them, and the pressure that can be withstood is a hundred times greater. After all, Gao Huan is a Vajra Five-Phase Wheel of Cultivation, and the pressure it is under in his body is nothing. The real danger is mental pressure.
The vast white fog looks uncanny, but under the urging of the formation, the invisible vital energy evolves, with demonic sounds entering the brain, and illusions invading the gods. When Gao Huan walked here, his vision and hearing had been suppressed by the formation.
So I also know that Shi Yuan and Rou'er's situations are all induced by divine thoughts. Despite this, the two people who are so close are as far away as they are in the world. Gao Huan is like he is trapped in a nightmare. Although his mind is clear, his body seems to be stripped away and difficult to control.
Even if Gao Huan has the power of thousands of divine power and exquisite Dharma appearance, he cannot use it.
Faced with the terrifying pressure on his soul, Gao Huan's mind became clearer and clearer. When he first read the alchemy book a few days ago, Gao Huan broke through his heartbrokenness, and his mind became more refined and more complete and at the same time, he became more perfect and free.
At this time, no matter how subtle the changes in the external energy are, they cannot shake Gao Huan's original heart. Although Gao Huan was not walking fast on this mountaineering road, he did not stop or hesitate, and moved forward step by step.
In the Taiyi Saint Emperor Hall, six Taoists were sitting in front of the incense table, closing their eyes and pushing the magic circle with all their hearts. In front of the hall, there was a huge water mirror, constantly rotating to show the climber's condition.
Yu Yangzi, who was wearing a feather-clothed star, was holding a whisk in his hand, smiling beside a tall young man wearing a golden dragon robe. "The Eighth Prince, with this water and moon mirror, mosquitoes can be distinguished within a radius of hundreds of miles."
At this moment, the scene of Gao Huan carrying Shi Yuan and Rou'er flashing in the illusion mirror. Wang Tong, who was standing next to the young man in the golden dragon robe, suddenly said: "It's him, Gao Huan!"
The Eighth Prince glanced slightly and sighed in an unsightly way, "Izuki village man..."
