Chapter Twenty-Six: A Thousand People Climb the Mountain
Mu Qing and the others left the teahouse and found a simple inn to live in, but this time the two stayed in one each.
Sure enough, as Dr. Nacha said, in the next few days, the inn was gradually full, Mu Qing secretly released his divine sense to explore, and found that most of these guests were mortals, and only a few of them had slight spiritual power fluctuations, and they were spiritual monks who had practiced some basic exercises.
After a few more days, the inns in the entire Yunlan Town were full, and the people who came again could only lie on the ground on the corner of the road.
And so, the tenth day finally arrived.
Before dawn, Mu Qing heard a noise outside and hurriedly got up. As soon as he walked out of the room, Qiu Lan also walked out of the house, and the two walked side by side towards the outside of the inn.
With the faint light of the sky, I saw the endless flow of people on the street outside, walking in the direction of Yunlan Peak, and these people kept talking about it, all of which were about to start the opening of the Yunlan Sect and the acceptance of disciples.
Mu Qing and Qiu Lan also joined the flow of people and headed towards the foot of Yunlan Peak.
After walking slowly for half an hour, the sky was already bright, and I saw in the distance that there were thousands of people gathered in the open space of a platform at the foot of Yunlanfeng Mountain.
Mu Qing was not as tall as Qiu Lan, and was blocked by the crowd, so he twisted and pulled Qiu Lan to the front.
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting, "Coming, coming!" Everyone looked up.
I saw a thick white mist rolling halfway up the mountainside of Yunlan Peak, and then a big bird came out, this big bird was very strange, its wings did not fanf, but it could fly in the air, or straight down.
Someone shouted, "Look, there's someone on top of the bird!"
Another said: "What do you know, it's not a bird, it's the flying magic weapon of the Yunlan Sect, called the Diamond Skylark." ”
"Oh, this is a flying magic weapon, it's really like a big bird, this time it's really eye-opening, and if you can't choose it, it's not in vain!"
"Look at your unproductive appearance, I knew I wouldn't bring you here, don't follow me when I climb the ladder for a while, I won't be dragged down by you. ”
Mu Qing and Qiu Lan were also the first time to see this kind of flying magic weapon, and they were very curious, and watched intently as the lark slowly descended.
I saw that the lark slowly descended, stopped at a height of three zhang from the ground, and stood a young man on it, wearing a white moire magic weapon, with a wide moire belt around his waist, a silver crown on his head, a green hosta obliquely, and a white moire streamer floating on his sideburns, a pair of fairy wind.
The young man was in his twenties, with a handsome face, but he was not smiling, and his face was cold.
The young man glanced at the people below and said in a cold voice, "The outer gate of the Yunlan Sect stepped forward. ”
Suddenly, 100 people squeezed out of the crowd, knelt on one knee, clasped their fists and saluted, and said, "The disciple is here." ”
The young man said: "Last year, you waited for your meritorious work, and on the order of the sect master, you gave twenty opening elixirs, and I took a step forward to the name. ”
As he spoke, he began to roll call. The people who were named were all happy and strode forward.
When the twenty names were finished, the young man shook his hand, and the twenty lockets flew out at the same time, falling into the hands of everyone, and when he got the opening elixir, he quickly knelt down and thanked him, and said in unison: "Thank you for the elixir, if we can open the spirit, we will listen to the name for life and never betray the sect." ”
Mu Qing didn't dare to release his divine sense to probe this young man's cultivation at the moment, he now has some understanding of the immortal cultivation world, if he wants to probe the fluctuations of the spiritual power on the other party's body, it must be the power of the divine sense that directly touches the other party's body, and some cultivators with high cultivation are very sensitive to this kind of divine sense touch, and it is easy to be discovered, which is very bad.
However, just now I saw that the young man threw out twenty small boxes, and they fell into the hands of twenty people accurately, and his cultivation was at least a period of agility, at least Mu Qing couldn't do it now.
I saw that the young man nodded slightly, and said: "The rest of the people are also doing well, the sect master has allowed me to give verbal praise, and I hope to redouble my efforts this year." Go ahead!"
The one hundred and ten people walked at the outer gate said goodbye, slowly retreated, and squeezed out the crowd to leave.
The young man looked around at everyone again, and said: "This year, my Yunlan Sect opened a sect to accept disciples, and the rules of the test remain unchanged, everyone goes to climb this Yunlan Peak, and those who can reach the mountainside platform can conduct a second test...... He paused, and said: "The cloud ladder is still dangerous, please do what you can, if you want to give up halfway, you must be five hundred zhang high, and when you get to the back, you can't turn back, and people fall and die every year." ”
After that, the lark under the young man's feet flashed with a flash of inspiration, but it flew upwards several times the speed it had been, and after a few breaths, it disappeared into the white mist above his head......
At this moment, there were more than 1,000 people at the foot of the mountain, and when they saw that the young man was gone, someone shouted: "I'll come first! Last year I was almost bold!"
Mu Qing and Qiu Lan came for the first time, but they were not in a hurry, and watched from a distance as everyone began to walk up the steps. The staircase was carved out around the mountain wall, and it sloped upward, and at the beginning it could accommodate a dozen people in parallel.
Qiu Lan pulled the corner of Mu Qing's clothes and whispered: "Listening to that person's words, it seems that when it reaches a height of five hundred zhang, this step will be extremely narrow, and it can only accommodate one person to walk, so there is no turning back." ”
Mu Qing nodded, but his gaze suddenly stopped on a young man who was really about to wait for the steps.
This young man Mu Qing is very familiar, it is the cousin in his family - Mu Zheng.
He's here too?
Mu Qing pondered: Lingmu Valley was taken away, most of the clansmen fell, and the rest naturally couldn't go back, the magic circle was destroyed, and there was no need to continue to protect it, it seemed that the three grandfathers in the clan wanted this cousin to join the Yunlan Sect, whether it was to seek refuge, or for the sake of the Mu family's inheritance, they sent him anyway. This cousin of mine is a middle-grade Miki Linggen, but he is very hopeful to be accepted as a disciple by the Yunlan Sect.
Then do you want to go and say hello? Thinking of Mu Zheng's performance in the dungeon of Diao's house that day, Mu Qing immediately dispelled this idea.
However, he didn't plan to join the Yunlan Sect with his true identity, because his identity was too eye-catching, the people in the clan and the Diao family all thought that they knew where the heaven and earth spiritual objects were, and the five sects of Lingzhou also knew that there was a strong aura overflowing in Lingmu Valley, in case his identity was exposed, trouble would be on his body, he was here to seek shelter, find a quiet, aura rich place to cultivate, don't come to trouble!
So if Mu Zheng sees himself, will he reveal his old bottom?
Even if he didn't deliberately expose his old bottom, this guy was stupid like a pig and timid like a mouse, and it was inevitable that he would leak his mouth, and it seemed that he still had to find a chance to remind him.
Thinking of this, Mu Qing pulled Qiu Lan and said, "Let's go too." And he strode toward the ladder......
The two of them went up with the flow of people, at first there were still seven or eight people in parallel, around the mountain for a small half circle, has reached a height of three hundred zhang, the flow of people is sparsely pulled apart, the width of the steps has also been reduced to only allow four or five people to be parallel, some people look down the mountain, suddenly feel cold, and then begin to turn around and retreat down.
After going up to 400 zhang, the mountain wind began to swish in the ears, and the upward ones were not as much as the downward ones.
Mu Qing roughly calculated in his heart, there were only a few dozen people left in front, plus those who followed behind, there should not be more than a hundred.
When it reached five hundred zhang, it had turned to the back of Yunlan Peak, the stone steps at his feet and the mountain wall on his side were covered with moss, very slippery, and further on, the ladder quickly narrowed, and sure enough, it could only accommodate one person to walk, so Mu Qing was in front, Qiu Lan was behind, and the fish ran up.
With Mu Qing's early cultivation and physical strength, he didn't feel tired when he arrived here, but Qiu Lan began to breathe, Mu Qing said: "Sister Lan, the air here is thin, you can rest for a while when you are tired." ”
Qiu Lan said: "I'm not tired, I can do it." ”
Mu Qing smiled slightly, took out a short rope made of coarse cloth from his arms, and said, "You hold it, I'll pull you." ”
Qiu Lan shook his head, showing a hint of gratitude, but said solemnly: "This difficulty is not successful, how can I worship the sect? ”
Mu Qing looked at Qiu Lan's beads of sweat dripping slightly, his face flushed, and he looked very stubborn, and a wave of pity suddenly welled up in his heart, and said, "Sister Lan, you go to the front, in case you can't step on it steadily, I can hold you up." ”
Qiu Lan snorted, but looked at the narrow staircase that only allowed one person, and frowned.
Mu Qing said: "Although it is narrow here, the two of us face each other, get closer, and we can also change positions." As he spoke, he propped himself on the mountain wall with both walls, and moved his body outward as much as possible, leaving a gap for Qiu Lan to drill through his body and the mountain wall.
Qiu Lan saw that Mu Qing was supporting his body with both hands, and his toes had stepped on the edge of the steps, this posture was very dangerous, but he was waiting for himself to pass with a smile on his face, so he didn't dare to slack off, his back was close to the mountain wall, he lowered his body a few points, and drilled under Mu Qing's arm.
At this moment, a heart-rending exclamation of "Ah--" suddenly came from the front, and the sound started from a high place and fluttered downward......
It turned out that someone had stumbled and fallen.
Although Qiu Lan was holding on hard before, but in a very high place, the tension of that mood rose from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help it, and at this time, he was frightened by this frightened voice, and suddenly his whole body trembled, and his body stood up unconsciously......
Mu Qing is only fourteen years old, he is already shorter than Qiu Lan, he stretched out his hands flat, and it reached Qiu Lan's chest, and at this moment Qiu Lan was drilling under his arm, the two were already facing each other, and there was only a fist in the chest, so together, Qiu Lan's head was in the middle of Mu Qing's outstretched arms, and his shoulders also hit Mu Qing's arms!
Mu Qing didn't expect Qiu Lan to suddenly straighten his body, and when he was hit like this, his hand had already left the mountain wall, and his center of gravity fell backwards......
If it falls at this height, I am afraid that the copper tendons and iron bones will also be shattered, Mu Qing's heart flashed, and one hand had already touched the broken sword of the spirit edge on his waist, so he waited for the figure to fall, and thrust the broken sword into the mountain wall at his feet, so as to hang himself.
At this moment, Qiu Lan also realized that he was going to knock Mu Qing down, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he reached out and hugged Mu Qing tightly, with a flash in his heart: If Brother Qing fell to his death because he fell, how could he survive?
Under her hug, she finally pulled Mu Qing's center of gravity back, and the Lingyuan sword in Mu Qing's right hand was inserted into the mountain wall with a "click", and her left hand was also pressed on the other side of Qiu Lan's ear on the mountain wall, and her feet were also steady, and finally the danger was saved.
However, looking at the posture of the two at this moment, Mu Qing's face was tightly buried in Qiu Lan's soft and upright position, and the two of them were like one person......
Now Mu Qing is very happy!
This happiness came so suddenly, it's really unbearable!
Just when the two of them were exhaling nervously, a middle-aged man from behind followed, and when he saw the posture of the two, he was stunned!
muttered: "My God, you little couple ran to this cliff of more than 500 zhang to make love, this is too exciting!"
