Chapter 25 Climbing the Mountain to Seek the Way
Chapter 25
Flying birds fly over the great lake, and the vast expanse of blue waves on the Longsnake Lake at dusk is soaked in red and yellow.
On Zhengming Island, the exam had already started in the dark.
Qi refiners don't need to eat and sleep on time like ordinary people, and it's nothing if they don't sleep all night. The lunch at noon is more of a benefit given by a hundred schools of thought, and they can taste delicious food comparable to elixir for free.
Everyone boarded the big ship again and sailed to a small island in the east. Although the small island was not comparable to Zhengming Island, it was much larger than other islands.
In the misty night, a majestic Taoist temple towers high on the island mountain. It is not quiet and quiet, but it shows the spirit of arrogance to other schools.
It is rumored that most of the monks in ancient times were Taoist priests, and they were the source of all magic arts. Now, the hundreds of schools practice their own skills, and most of them are differentiated from Taoism.
Today, although Taoism is no longer the only cradle for practitioners, there is also a saying that "the Taoism of a hundred schools is the first", and its momentum can be seen.
The exams of the hundred schools are carried out sequentially, so every time the exams are performed, all the qi refiners act together, and they can take the opportunity to learn about the location and style of each island.
No matter which family they belong to in the future, they must visit these islands. The spirit of a hundred schools of thought emphasizes the unity of a hundred schools of thought and is inclusive, so that every student of the school can go to other schools to learn skills.
Of course, if you want to learn the most core part, you have to spend some thought and spirit stones, but it is not absolutely impossible, and you will not shout and kill or abolish your cultivation base like those practice schools.
This is also what Li Qingshan appreciates the most. It is not without reason that the Great Xia Dynasty was able to suppress the world's practice sects with the help of a hundred schools of classics.
The alchemists got off the boat and walked along a path through a forest to the front of the mountain.
A teacher said: "If you report to Taoism, follow me up the mountain. If you don't have one, wait at the foot of the mountain and don't go far."
Li Qingshan found that most of the nearly thousand qi refiners followed him up the mountain.
Taoism is not only the leading master, but also has no requirements for the talents of yin and yang and five elements. Taoism claims that there are three thousand roads and infinite trails. No matter who you are, you can find a road that suits you.
Therefore, in those five places, almost everyone will fill in the word "Tao" and take it as the first goal. The same is true for Li Qingshan. His goal is only between Taoism and military strategists.
But Taoism is more suitable.
I went up the mountain with the crowd, and just reached the half-hill slope, the surrounding clouds and mists rose.
Li Qingshan found that everyone disappeared, and he was the only one left on the mountain road, knowing that he was trapped in the formation.
"The exam has begun." A voice boomed.
Li Qingshan cheered up and took a step forward. As soon as he took a step, his body suddenly became several times heavier, and his true energy was completely suppressed by the invisible formation. It was impossible to open the treasure bag, let alone cast spells .
At this moment, all the alchemists who climbed the mountain became ordinary people, and the Taoist formation of guarding the mountain began to show its astonishing power.
Li Qingshan didn't take it seriously, stepped out one more step, and the originally wide stone steps suddenly turned into a very narrow path, with cliffs on both sides, and you can't see the bottom at a glance, you can imagine that if you fall, even if it won't be real If you fall to your death, you will also lose your qualifications to become a Taoist.
It happened at this time that the strong wind was blowing up, from east to west, without direction.
"ah!"
With a scream, a qi refiner fell from the mountain path, spinning and falling down the cliff. Even though he knew that nothing would happen, he couldn't help being heartbroken. He was about to fall to the bottom of the cliff, and the surrounding scenery suddenly twisted and changed. , but returned to the foot of the mountain, a group of Qi refiners waiting at the foot of the mountain looked at him with disdain.
He shouted: "I don't accept it, I was blown down by the wind, how could I be able to defeat the Taoist's mountain guard formation with my cultivation of the third level of Qi refining?"
"The more confused the mind, the stronger the wind, and the narrower the road. Even when I know it's illusory, I can't control my fear, and I still practice my ass, get out quickly." A voice came loudly, just It was the voice of the sloppy Taoist.
Hua Chenglu curled her lips and said: "It's obvious that I'm useless. My brother said that if he can calm down and keep his mind, even ordinary people can go to the end of this road. Alas, I don't know if there is something wrong with Zijian."
The qi refiner finally showed a dejected expression. He came from a small family. With his cultivation, he was already a genius in the family. He was cared for like a baby. He had never experienced any danger. His legs were weak just now. Just stumbled and fell.
But this principle doesn't seem to be fulfilled in Li Qingshan's body.
His eyes are calm and his footsteps are steady. After experiencing so many life and death struggles, this kind of road does not make him feel any fear, but the road is still getting thinner and thinner, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger , more and more chaotic.
He remained unmoved, his body swayed with every change in the wind, his footsteps were never fast or slow, admiring the rare sights on both sides, leisurely like a tourist climbing a mountain.
In the end, he seemed to be walking on a narrow wall as high as 10,000 zhang, but he still had room to spare. Looking left and right, he thought, this Taoist test is really a bit difficult.
The sloppy Taoist took this scene into his eyes and snorted coldly: "Boy, let's see how long you can last."
As soon as he thought about it, heavy rain fell on Li Qingshan's head, and the road became more and more slippery and difficult to walk. There was a sudden thunder, which seemed to be right above his head. Even if ordinary people were standing on flat ground, they would fall down in fright.
The sloppy Taoist chuckled, turned his gaze away, and landed on another person.
Sweat broke out from the tip of Yu Zijian's nose, bearing in mind Hua Chenglu's reminder, his eyes were fixed on the road ahead, not daring to look either side.
A sudden gust of wind hit her, and her figure swayed. Because she had to hold the sword, her figure was unbalanced, and she was about to fall off the cliff.
The sloppy Taoist hooked his fingers, and a soft wind came from the other side, and with a light push, she stabilized her figure.
"Master, this is not good!" A young Taoist priest with slender eyebrows and narrow eyes had been watching from the sidelines. Seeing that the sloppy Taoist favored one another, he couldn't help but say it.
He was dressed in green clothes, a Taoist crown on his head, and silk around his waist. He hung a waist card with the word "one" engraved on it, which was the symbol of the chief disciple.
The sloppy Taoist always blushed, and he didn't treat his lover as arrogantly as he did when he faced the heads of various families, but he had his own explanation: "Jiechenzi, little girl, it's normal to be afraid of heights, no one is born with it." Be fearless. Mind and character can be sharpened slowly. When dealing with men, you have to be ruthless. The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening..."
"Master, this sword is still there!" Juechenzi pointed his hand.
The slovenly Taoist took a look, no matter it was wind, frost or waterfall rain, Li Qingshan's gaze could not be shaken in the slightest, instead his footsteps quickened, galloping wildly in the wind and rain.
He may not be smart enough, or he may not have such a strong talent, but he has ambition and courage that ordinary people can't match.
