In the evening of the first day, many fast-footed young Talisman swordsmen had already reached their first level.
Looking up into the distance, a strange-shaped mountain is entrenched among the mountains.
Based on the trend of the mountains in Kungang, there should have been no mountains here, but now there are mountains. The mountain has three peaks from low to high, arranged in a straight line, and there is a cave at the foot of the mountain with a large door.
At the entrance of the cave, there are three characters "Sixiang Mountain" with flying dragons and dancing phoenixes!
"Is this the first level of Sixiang Mountain?" Jiang Shenyi looked up at the foot of the mountain.
The level of Sixiang Mountain is simple and straightforward. Start from the foot of the mountain and climb up along the road of the cave. It is said that there is extremely strong pressure in the cave. The higher you go up, the stronger the pressure. And the three peaks are three different ones.
Pressure, every kind of pressure can make people fall to the ground.
Challengers can rely on their own strength to resist the pressure, or they can use magic weapons to resist. Of course, there are more people who use magic weapons to resist, because the challengers are all Talisman sword masters.
Only those who overcome the three pressures and drill all the way out of the cave on the top of the mountain will be considered successful and will receive gifts from Long Yuan and tips for the questions at the back of the test paper.
"Sixiang Mountain...why is the mountain with three peaks called Sixiang Mountain?" Jiang Shenyi was very puzzled.
"Huh? Ask me?" The little turtle he carried in his pocket poked his head out.
Jiang Shenyi said: "Do you know?"
The little turtle said: "I don't know. Brother Turtle thinks... it can be called whatever you like. It's called Qi Jue Mountain, Eight Immortals Mountain. What can you do to it?"
Jiang Shenyi curled his lips. After spending two days together, he already knew that this little black guy didn't have a bright mind and didn't know much. He was a rat chewing on a urinal - a mouthful of coquettish words.
But there was no one up or down the mountain, and no one else could answer his question.
Suddenly, there was a thud and a person came out of the cave.
This man came out neither standing nor squatting, but lying down, and with his head facing backward, he slid out of the cave flatly, as if there was a big slide in the cave. There was a lawn at the entrance of the cave, and he slid down
He stopped on the grass, but he was not injured except for his disgrace.
"Ah -" he opened his mouth to shout depressedly, but suddenly he saw someone looking at him from top to bottom. He immediately blushed and his voice stopped abruptly. He tried to get up, but he was top-heavy and unable to get up. Finally, he resigned to his fate and lay down.
On the ground.
Seeing his situation, Jiang Shenyi remained calm and stretched out a hand to pull the other person up.
The man stood up and saw Jiang Shenyi's handsome appearance and high-spirited expression. Especially his expression was calm, without any sarcasm, and he didn't blame himself for being in such a mess. He couldn't help but feel good about him, and he couldn't help but cup his hands and said, "That's funny."
Jiang Shenyi said: "It's okay, brother just came out of it?"
The man nodded, and Jiang Shenyi asked again: "How is it inside? What's the situation?"
The man patted his chest and said: "It's too difficult! This Four Elephant Mountains is not for people to break into. The pressure inside is too great. And each pressure is better than the next. As soon as you enter, the first pressure is called the White Tiger Tribulation. The pressure is so intense
Your strength. At that time, your strength and internal strength were lost, and you were completely powerless. You could take one step and stagger three times. However, this level was easy to pass. After all, our Talisman Sword Masters use Talisman Styles as support and can be blessed with the power of heavy magic weapons.
It’s okay to resist the pressure and go upstairs.”
Jiang Shenyi nodded and accepted the instruction. The more he spoke, the more eloquently he said, "The second level of pressure is the Xuanwu Tribulation. It presses on your entire body and internal organs. At this time, you feel your bones rattling and your blood stops flowing.
, my internal organs were in turmoil, it was difficult to breathe, and I felt like I was going to die even if I took a step forward. At that time, heavy magic tools were useless, and only magic tools that protected the body and strengthened the body could resist, but there were not many such magic tools. We generally
The protective equipment you bring, such as protective walls, is of no use at all, because the pressure is on you."
Jiang Shenyi pondered: "In other words, can I resist it if my body is strong?"
The man shook his head repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes. But how can we have such a strong body? We are not those rude warriors who have trained our bodies to be like pillars of flesh and are invulnerable. Even if we are stronger than ordinary people, how can we withstand such a powerful force?"
pressure?"
Jiang Shenyi said: "Before you practice Xuan Gong, you should practice both internally and externally to perfection. Thinking about it, if the internal strength and body are perfect and flawless, this level will not be difficult."
That person disagreed and thought to himself: "How much time and energy does it take to practice both internally and externally to perfection? What's the point of working hard for so many years? Apart from this kind of special moment, how can it be useful in ordinary times?" But there is no need to argue with outsiders about this, continue.
Said, "This third calamity is the most powerful, called the Suzaku Calamity. It directly suppresses the spirit. By then, your mind will be confused, your spirit will be dispirited, and your fighting spirit will be completely gone. Let alone climbing, you will be tired from even moving a finger. And our Talisman Sword Masters use
Magical tools are also related to your mental state. When you are in a state of physical and mental exhaustion, no talisman can be activated. No matter how many magic tools you have, they will all become a pile of rags.
It doesn’t work.”
Jiang Shenyi looked at him and thought: You are quite literate in your speech. You describe the level so vividly and terrifyingly. Are you really not the one sent by Long Yuan?
Little did they know that this person had just suffered a huge setback at Sixiang Mountain, and people had seen it. How could he save his face if he didn't make the level extremely difficult?
The man finally sighed deeply and said: "Fortunately, Long Yuan didn't kill them all. There is a staircase next to the steps. If you want to give up, you only need to turn aside to slide down and land safely. This level is not for people to pass. I
Once you try it once, you will know that trying ten times is in vain. There is no need to torture yourself. I plan to bypass this hurdle, brother..."
Seeing that Jiang Shenyi's eyes were bright and showed no sign of wavering, he couldn't help but curl his lips secretly and thought to himself: After all, it's better not to turn back until you hit the wall. I'm so good-natured that I can't persuade you to die. Let you go. He shook his head and left.
Jiang Shenyi looked up at the sky and saw that night had fallen, with only a wisp of afterglow remaining on the horizon, and said: "It's getting late now..."
Brother Turtle came out and said, "Yeah, it's already late today. Do you plan to start the challenge tomorrow?"
Jiang Shenyi said: "No. If we start climbing now, we should be able to catch the sunrise at the top of the mountain, right?"
The night was dark, and the two adjacent tents were lighted and dark. The light one was still active, while the dark one was resting.
A turtle the size of a washbasin opened the tent and slowly climbed in.
As soon as we entered the tent, the aroma of food hit us.
Tang Zhao finished practicing and had already started serving supper.
Late-night supper should not be too grand. Tang Zhao just set up a soup pot and cooked a few side dishes, such as meat, vegetables, fish, and shrimp, for a light meal.
When the turtle saw it, he smiled happily and said, "Master Turtle came back at the right time." He climbed up on the table.
Tang Zhao said, "You know how to keep track of time." Then he set a bowl for it, filled it with some fish and shrimp, and said, "Is this enough?"
The turtle said: "Two more spoonfuls."
Tang Zhao said: "That's enough, that's enough. You turtles have a slow metabolism. It's not good to eat too much."
Wu Gui asked curiously: "What does it mean?"
Tang Zhao said: "That means you don't do anything every day, and you eat too much and can't digest it."
After hearing this, Wugui was very upset and shouted: "What do you mean by not doing anything? I have done a lot of things... Oh, do you know? I just came here to spy on a piece of information."
Tang Zhao squinted and said, "You... are spying on information?"
The turtle became angrier and said, "Do you know where I come from? I came from the kid's tent next door. What do you think I saw?"
Tang Zhao's eyes moved slightly and said: "What?"
Wugui said: "I saw his test paper."
Tang Zhao snarled and said, "Should I ask you to read it? Do I need to read other people's test papers? I don't care if you figure out a perfect answer, and don't tell me. I answer the questions myself and I'll get full marks."
Wugui sneered: "Would I tell you if I got full marks? I am still supervising your spirit envoy, right? Can I take the initiative to steal the answers for you? On the contrary, his test paper is a blank paper! Not a single question has been written! You know this
What does it mean?"
Tang Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "He's waiting for the last step to plagiarize?"
Wu Gui said speechlessly: "Can you use your brain? The last level only takes one or two days. Is it too late to copy everything? But any Talisman Swordsman who wants to get good grades has to write one or two words.
The previous questions are not difficult, and even a fool can answer dozens of them. Well, even a pure fool can’t understand a single question, and he will read it over and look at the questions, and there must be traces on the test paper. He
The test paper is as brand new as white paper and has not been opened! Moreover, you were delayed in answering the questions before, so you are considered to have started late. He started the road earlier than you and chose this road without prompts. What does this mean? It means that he has no clue at all.
He didn’t even think about answering the question. Or maybe he wasn’t a Talisman Sword Master at all!”
Tang Zhao thought thoughtfully and said: "It makes sense. He is not a Fu Sword Master, but he rushed to Jianzhou. Could it be that he has another purpose?"
Wugui said happily: "You finally realized it! He has a purpose. His identity is not simple, and his purpose is not simple either!"
Tang Zhao pondered: "Indeed, it sounds like he may have a problem... What does that have to do with me?"
Wugui said "Huh?", and Tang Zhao said matter-of-factly: "Although I don't know what his purpose is, he didn't come here specifically to ambush me. I don't know him at all, and there is nothing to gain from him. On the contrary, he is better than me."
I have a lot of money. So what does he want to do to me?"
Wugui said: "No... if you are traveling with someone with ulterior motives, you will be in danger too!"
Tang Zhao said easily: "To be cautious, we can part ways with him tomorrow. But there is no need to delve into his affairs. The most important thing for me now is to answer the questions and get good grades. As for other secrets, even if a major case of rebellion is discovered,
Come on, what does it have to do with me?"
The turtle was speechless for a moment. Tang Zhao patted its back and said: "I know that you are a turtle from Longyuan, so you must worry half of the host. You can check if you want, but you still have to go on the road tomorrow.
Follow me. You are neither a host nor a sacrificial wine. You are mainly my spiritual envoy. You will do your own thing in your place. Don’t pay too much attention to other people’s affairs. Eat something, drink something, and keep yourself warm."
After saying that, he buried his head in eating and drinking. The turtle was speechless for a while, lying in the bowl and eating wildly. The only sound in the tent was the snoring of Xili.
