In fact, just now, when Bai Xuanyu was talking to the old man, Zhou Fan knew that Bai Xuanyu might want to escape.

But Zhou Fan couldn't even remind Xiong Feixiu, not because he was afraid that Xiong Feixiu would deal with him.

Instead, he was limited by the ghost oath, and once he spoke, it would be a violation of the ghost oath to meddle in the affairs of the two teams, and then the Xuanguang jade talisman on his body would be directly shattered and he would lose his qualification for the exam.

So Zhou Fan could only watch Bai Xuanyu and the three of them escape, and he couldn't do anything.

However, Zhou Fan also summed up an obvious truth from the contact between Xiong Feixiu and Bai Xuanyu: if you can't beat it in the cross-country test, you can completely think of escaping, you don't have to fight hard, the wilderness is so big, as long as the speed is not too far apart, it is not difficult to escape.

Especially for Zhou Fan, he has a teleportation-level body technique, if he is not subject to some special restraints in advance, it is generally difficult for ordinary martial artists to catch up with him.

"That kid from the Bai family is a little unlucky, he was actually targeted by the people of the Xiong family. Huang Bujue smiled and said.

"How strong is the Xiong family in Juxiong County?" Zhou Fan hurriedly asked Huang Bujue and the two for advice.

"The name of Giant Bear County is derived from the Xiong family, the Xiong family is the first family of Giant Bear County, and the status is the same as that of the Zhang Li family in our Gaoxiang County. Furuhiko replied.

Zhou Fan's face condensed slightly, no wonder that Xiong Feixiu was so arrogant, it was better to avoid this kind of bear child.

Zhou Fan didn't have the idea of keeping up, no matter whether Bai Xuanyu could escape or not, his revenge would be avenged, this matter had nothing to do with him for the time being, and the most important thing now was to go to the Thousand Illusion Snow Mountain.

Zhou Fan and the three of them identified the direction and continued on the road.

On the way, Zhou Fan also took out the map of Gaoxiang County that had been prepared from the package, and studied the route before reaching the Thousand Illusion Snow Mountain with Huang Bujue, in order to avoid encounters with other teams as much as possible, and also arrived at the Thousand Illusion Snow Mountain as soon as possible.

"To reach the Thousand Illusion Snow Mountain, even if you walk along the ruler road, I'm afraid it will take three days, if you don't take the ruler road, pass through the wilderness, and then avoid some more troublesome dangerous places, even if it is a straight line, it will take three and a half or four days. Zhou Fan looked at the map in his hand and said.

"Don't be in a hurry, although this cross-country test is to reach the Thousand Illusion Snow Mountain as soon as possible, in the final analysis, the competition is not time, but the height of the Thousand Illusion Snow Mountain. Gu Yan hit the nail on the head.

"Master Gu is right, even if you reach the Thousand Illusion Snow Mountain, whether it is six days or seven days, it is enough for any candidate, after reaching a certain height, I am afraid that you will not be able to climb up, and no matter how much time you have, it will be useless. Huang Bujue sighed and said.

Zhou Fan understands these truths, and he also knows that since the academy says that the score is calculated by the height climbed, there will basically be no situation where any candidate can reach the top.

After all, even Nakata only turned back halfway through, even if Nakata didn't say why he wanted to turn back, but it had a lot to do with the danger of the Thousand Illusion Snow Mountain.

"Then there's only one question now, I don't know if you know anything about the Thousand Illusions Snow Mountain? I hope to be as prepared as possible for climbing the mountain before I get there. Zhou Fan looked at the two and said.

"I have never been to the Thousand Illusion Snow Mountain, and my understanding of the Thousand Illusion Snow Mountain is all hearsay. Huang Bujue shook his head.

"In order to collect medicine and make wine, I have been to the Thousand Illusions Snow Mountain. Gu Yan said without hurrying.

Zhou Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, Gu Yan had been to the Thousand Illusion Snow Mountain, and that was a great thing for him.

"But don't rejoice too soon. Gu Yan added with a smile: "I just walked around the foot of the mountain, but I haven't tried mountaineering, and I know a little about the Thousand Illusions Snow Mountain." ”

Zhou Fan couldn't hide his disappointment, but he quickly cheered up and said, "It's better than knowing nothing." ”

There are also several classics in Zhou Fan's package, which he collected when he purchased them before, all of which are some introductions to the dangerous places in Gaoxiang County, among which he remembers that there are also records of the Thousand Illusions Snow Mountain.

However, dangerous places always change quickly, especially in places like Thousand Illusion Snow Mountain, which few warriors have set foot in, and the records in the book may not be detailed or credible.

If you really fully believe the records in the book, this is definitely a very dangerous thing, and Gu Yan's own experience is always more credible than the book.

Gu Yan raised his words for a while, and then opened his mouth to describe to Zhou Fan the matter of the Thousand Illusion Snow Mountain.

......

......

Gao Xiang Academy.

The three examiners of Nakata returned to the square.

At this time, in the square, all the candidates of Class A had already left with Hu Cong.

Near the white jade platform, a green jade wall with a length and width of three zhang was erected.

The jade wall is flawless.

"Let's get started. Nakata smiled and sat on a chair in the middle of the white jade platform.

Mrs. Zhang Li and Yuan Hai are both sitting by Zhongtian's side on the left and right.

The students and teachers of the academy below immediately got busy, and they brought pieces of bright red round jade and inlaid them into a series of pits on the edge of the blue jade wall.

Each piece of round jade is inlaid into it, and the mirror-like surface of the green jade wall is rippling with a layer of cyan ripples.

When all the round jade stones were inlaid into it, the green jade wall lit up with a clear light.

Tiny dots of light appeared on the green jade wall, and names appeared on the dots of light.

That's the name of all the candidates who took the cross-country test this time.

The name of the green jade wall is called Xuanguang Jade Wall, which echoes the Xuanguang jade talisman carried by the candidate.

The Xuanguang Jade Talisman is not only an identity mark, but also has all kinds of mysteries, one of which is to allow Qingyubi to see where the candidate is now.

Another talisman was pasted on the back of the green jade bi, and mountains and rivers appeared on the jade wall, which was the area where Gaoxiang County was located.

You can see that all the light spots on the blue jade wall are moving faster or slower towards the same place.

If necessary, he can even consume the bright red round jade, hook the Xuanguang jade talisman, and see the picture of a candidate in the wilderness.

However, the bright red round jade is very precious and hard to come by, and if it were not for the special situation, the academy would not consider doing so.

The three examiners looked at the points of light and their names on the Xuanguang Jade Wall, and were silent for a while, Yuanhai clasped his hands together, and said with compassion on his face: "Amitabha, even if Dean Zhong asks them to do what they can, but outside the wilderness, especially in a dangerous place like the Thousand Illusion Snow Mountain, the danger may be imminent, and I don't know how many geniuses will fall in this cross-country test." ”

The meaning of blame in Yuanhai's words is fully revealed, and it is obviously not in line with the compassion of Buddhism, especially since these geniuses are precious to the Great Wei Dynasty.

Zhong Tian said with a calm face: "The road is chosen by themselves, and they can't complain about anyone, and besides, everyone dies." (Note 1.) ）

"Everyone dies. Old lady Zhang Li sneered: "Yes, mortals will die, and they will die more in the future, not to mention mortals, even if they are the children of wealthy families, not many may survive." ”

"And what can be done?" Zhongtian asked in a cold voice: "No one wants them to die, the Great Buddha Temple doesn't want to, the family doesn't want to, and the academy doesn't want to, but we have to do it." ”

"I have some understanding of why the above is so problematic, I think it is not only my teacher's insistence, but also because it must be done this way, not cruel to them now, it will be even cruel to them in the future, they must grow up as soon as possible. ”

Yuan Hai and Old Lady Zhang Li were silent again, because the topic between the three of them was too heavy, and also because Zhong Tian said the true intention of doing so above.

Putting aside the literary test, the cruelty of the martial arts test of the Class A exam is both unexpected and reasonable.

"It's still too cruel. Yuan Hai sighed lightly, and he closed his eyes and slowly recited the scriptures.

"I want to know how much time there is?" said Old Lady Zhang Li, looking at Zhong Tian and asking tentatively.

As the first family in Gaoxiang County, the Zhang Li family naturally has its own channels, but those who are qualified to know know know that the catastrophe is coming, but they don't know when the catastrophe will come?

And Zhong Tian is different, he is the apprentice of the saint in the academy, if it is said that he is most likely to know when the great tribulation will come, the Great Wei Dynasty is no more than ten fingers at most, and that saint with a high realm is naturally one of them.

Old lady Zhang Li knew that she didn't say it because she didn't want some people to have selfishness that they shouldn't have, which affected the layout of the Great Wei Dynasty to deal with the catastrophe.

But he still wants to know, so that he can plan for the Zhang Li family as soon as possible, this is selfishness, but who doesn't have selfishness?

Old lady Zhang Li didn't think that he was wrong, and all the heads of the great family wanted to know when the catastrophe would come.

Yuanhai also stopped chanting, he opened his eyes, and looked at Zhongtian as well.

Zhong Tian stared at the Xuanguang Jade Wall, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know, the teacher said that he doesn't know, I don't know if it's true or not, but I don't think the teacher will lie to me, the teacher said that he doesn't know, then no one in the Great Wei Dynasty should be able to accurately calculate the true time of its arrival." ”

"It may not come in ten or twenty years, or it may only come in two or three years, or in March or April, or even tomorrow, or it will already come. ”

"Since no one knows, then I advise the old lady not to think too much, it will come, anyway, the preparations have been done, when it comes, we may not be fully prepared, but it will not be unprepared at all, even if we don't want it to come, I would rather all the preparations are in vain. ”

"How can you not think about it?" Old lady Zhang Li smiled bitterly, he couldn't sleep well.

"Amitabha, may the Buddha bless me with all the peace of Dawei. Yuanhai sighed softly.

Nakata glanced at Yuanhai, his lips twitching, but he still didn't say the extremely sarcastic words.

Yuan Hai noticed Zhong Tian's eyes, and he just said slowly: "Dean Zhong is not trying to say that the Buddha is dead and there is no god in the world, so there will be no Buddha to bless him." ”

"It's just that you said that, and I didn't say it. Nakata sneered, but that's exactly what he thought in his heart.

"We have always believed that the Buddha is still alive and that he has not yet appeared. Yuan Hai said resolutely.

Nakata didn't answer, because arguing with the monk about this topic was the stupidest thing to do, and he looked up at the cloudless sky and sighed in his heart.

These are the worst of times.

Note 1: Everyone has a death from "A Song of Ice and Fire", but the meaning is different from a song of ice and fire, which means that everyone has a death, and here it only refers to mortals.
