After the exam started on the second floor of the academy, all the candidates were arranged to climb the mountain behind the academy and fetch a water ladle from the top of the mountain.
However, this mountain is not that easy to climb. As soon as all the candidates stepped into the back mountain range, they felt that their snow mountain Qi sea was blocked, and their mind power struggled to pass through the Qi sea acupoints, and they were unable to call on the vitality of the world from the outside world.
These proud people suddenly became ordinary people. For a while, many people couldn't adapt. They had many bumps and bumps while climbing the mountain, and almost fell down the mountain several times.
Among the crowd, only two people were as steady as Mount Tai, climbing steadily up the mountain step by step.
They are Ning Que and Long Qing.????
The two of them walked in an orderly manner, gradually surpassing everyone, and took the lead to reach the mountainside.
Ning Que was not afraid of a small mountain because he had just practiced cultivation for a short time and had developed good skills at the border.
Although Long Qing is the second prince of the Yan Kingdom, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. His martial arts strength is not inferior to his telekinesis. He has a strong physique and is not afraid of any challenges.
But after Ning Que and Long Qing met on the mountainside, they were inevitably filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"I didn't expect you little pretty boy to climb up so fast." Ning Que looked at Long Qing provocatively and said.
"I didn't expect that you could keep pace with me." Long Qing said proudly.
The two did not know each other before, but since they met, they have regarded each other as their biggest rivals. Ning Que even felt disgusted when he saw Long Qing.
It was a kind of unfounded disgust, just like the feeling of seeing a natural enemy.
Ning Que would never admit that he was jealous of Long Qingchang's handsomeness.
"How about we make a bet." Ning Que looked at Long Qing's superior look and said with disgust:
"Whoever reaches the top of the mountain first wins. The loser must promise the other party something."
Long Qing said arrogantly: "I don't need to bet with you at all. I will definitely win."
As he spoke, Long Qing rushed to the top of the mountain first.
"You're sneaking around." Ning Que gritted his teeth and hurriedly chased after Long Qing.
But at this moment, an examinee climbed halfway up the mountain and suddenly grabbed Ning Que's hand.
"Yeah." Ning Que was stunned, turned around and found that the other person turned out to be his classmate, Gu Changnuo, a student from the college.
"Gu Changnuo, why are you holding me?" Ning Que wanted to throw away his classmate's hand, but found that the other classmate was holding on to him tightly and could not get rid of it at all.
"Ning Que, help me, I can't survive." Gu Changnuo grabbed Ning Que's arm and leaned back.
"careful."
Ning Que's steps were unsteady and his body was involuntarily carried away by Gu Changnuo. The two hugged each other and rolled down the mountain.
Long Qing heard the noise and looked back, just in time to see Ning Que and Gu Changnuo rolling down the mountain together.
He stopped, glanced twice, raised the corner of his mouth, turned around, and walked directly towards the top of the mountain, not caring about the lives of Ning Que and Gu Changnuo.
At this time, the wind and clouds on the mountain suddenly changed, the originally clear sky became dark, and a chessboard appeared in the thick clouds.
Long Qing found that a large amount of thick fog had risen around him, obstructing his vision. What was even more troublesome was that the originally rugged mountain road was suddenly covered with thorns. Even if he was wearing shoes, it was still very painful to step on it.
Halfway up the mountain, Ning Que grabbed a vine and held Gu Changnuo with his other hand. He finally managed to steady himself and not roll down the mountain.
"Huh huh huh." Gu Changnuo gasped suddenly, with more air coming in and less air coming out, as if he had difficulty breathing.
"What's wrong with you?" Ning Que asked hurriedly.
Gu Changnuo couldn't breathe and could only point to his mouth.
"You have asthma!?" Ning Que's face changed and he asked.
Gu Changnuo nodded, breathing became more difficult and his face turned red.
Ning Que didn't hesitate. He first laid Gu Changnuo down on the ground and then performed artificial respiration on him.
At this time, some candidates climbed up the mountainside and showed disgust when they saw Ning Que's actions.
"Two grown men kissing each other, it's really an insult to politeness, it's an insult to politeness."
Ning Que said to the bystanders: "Come and help me quickly. He has asthma. If he doesn't help, he will suffocate and die."
The candidate said indifferently: "We still have to climb mountains, how can we help him?"
Candidates passed by Ning Que and Gu Changnuo one after another, but no one wanted to help.
Ning Que had no choice but to continue to give Gu Changnuo artificial respiration in an attempt to unblock his trachea. However, asthma was caused by tracheospasm, and artificial respiration alone without a tracheal opening would have limited effect.
Gu Changnuo's face had turned purple. Ning Que stopped artificial respiration and started rummaging around Gu Changnuo's body.
Asthma patients usually carry medicine with them to prevent sudden attacks.
Ning Que finally found a small porcelain bottle, opened it and smelled it and found that it smelled like medicine, so he quickly drank one for Gu Changnuo.
Gu Changnuo swallowed the medicine, and his complexion began to soothe, but he did not get completely better.
"Ning, Ning Que, you, please leave me alone and go to the exam quickly." Gu Changnuo pushed Ning Que and said laboriously.
Ning Que glanced at the candidates in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take you down the mountain first."
Gu Changnuo said with an ugly face: "If you help me go down the mountain, you won't be the first to get the water ladle."
Ning Que directly carried Gu Changnuo on his shoulders and said, "I may not be able to pass the second-floor exam, but I can't ignore death."
Gu Changnuo wanted to persuade Ning Que again, but he was already carried by Ning Que and walked down the mountain.
Ning Que found that the road down the mountain was surprisingly easy. The power that suppressed the Qi Sea and Snow Mountain disappeared. He used the vitality of heaven and earth to drag himself and Gu Changnuo up, and the speed of going down the mountain was more than doubled.
A quarter of an hour later, Ning Que carried Gu Changnuo down the mountain and handed him over to the academy for instruction. When he turned around, he saw that Long Qing had almost climbed to the top of the mountain.
"Ning Que, I'm sorry, it's all because I delayed you!" Gu Changnuo said in shame.
"It doesn't matter, I still have time." Ning Que said firmly.
After that, Ning Que climbed up the mountain. Maybe because he had done it once, Ning Que climbed up the mountain surprisingly fast. Within half an hour, he saw an examinee lying on the roadside.
The mountaineering road was not only rugged and thorny, but also had boulders falling from time to time. Many candidates were injured and asked for help when they saw Ning Que.
"Please, help me."
Ning Que stopped and realized that the person was the examinee who just refused to help Gu Changnuo.
"You refused to help me just now, why should I save you?" Ning Que hardened his heart.
"Please, I don't want to die." the candidate begged.
At this time, there were still boulders falling from the top of the mountain. If you were hit by it, you would definitely die.
Ning Que gritted his teeth and wanted to ignore it, but in the end he stopped and went back to carry the man down the mountainside.
Because of Gu Changnuo, the academy arranged two teachers halfway up the mountain to support him.
After Ning Que handed the people over to his instructor, he continued to climb the mountain. However, he found that the further he ran up the mountain, the more people were lying on the ground. In the end, he couldn't bear to stop and carried them all halfway up the mountain.
Most of the dignitaries in the academy watching the exam showed disdain when they saw Ning Que's behavior, thinking that he was so stupid that he gave up being the first to reach the top of the mountain for his competitor.
On the other hand, the teachers and students in the academy all smiled when they saw Ning Que's behavior. There were even students from the academy who cheered him up.
In the large formation at the back of the academy, the master's eleven disciples gathered together and saw what Ning Que had done through Taoism, and all of them showed happy smiles.
Mr. Twelve Chen Pipi is Ning Que’s friend. Seeing that he delayed the exam because of saving people, he couldn’t help but feel anxious secretly.
"Second Senior Brother, many people were injured in today's exam, how about we pause first?" Chen Pipi suggested.
The second teacher, Jun Mo, said with a stern face: "The exam is for the teacher to select disciples, and it cannot stop because of Ning Que. Besides, saving people is Ning Que's choice and has nothing to do with us.
Fourth Junior Brother, please add an extra maze formation on the top of the mountain."
When everyone heard this, they all smiled knowingly!
Long Qing, who was about to reach the top of the mountain, suddenly found himself spinning in circles, as if he was trapped in a maze.
