Meng Yuanhou was by no means a capital sect that children liked, and many children shuddered when they thought that they would have to contact him every day when they arrived at Yangshen Peak in the future, but they had to admit that Meng Dujiao was serious and responsible, and he was full of enthusiasm for forging the form of new disciples.

It has been more than three months since the teenagers of Yelin Town moved into Jinghu Village, and there are only about 20 days left before the official entry time in November, just when everyone thought they could relax a little, the Mengdujiao was impatient to start teaching new skillsβ€”in the eyes of the children, it was a new method of torture.

"You have all practiced Bone Forging for a while, your body is already stronger and more flexible than the average person, you have also learned a set of stick techniques and a set of fist techniques, and your reaction ability is much stronger than before, now, it is time to go further. ”

Pang Shan's new disciples recruited this year have almost arrived, and more than 130 children stood in the courtyard in the early hours of the morning, and when they heard the words of the Dujiao, they all sighed in frustration, especially some of them had just entered the hall and were not used to the stick fight once a day, and "going further" only made them more afraid.

"There is no easy path to monasticism. Meng Yuanhou suppressed everyone's dissatisfaction in a stern tone, "If you have the idea that you can attain the Tao by meditating and taking medicine, why do you have to go home now, why bother to suffer in vain?"

No one wants to go home, they are all children who have been chosen by thousands of people, with Taoist roots, even if they did not know about the unity of the Tao before, after seeing a few miracles, they are full of yearning for the Tao, and they are very aware that their fate has changed dramatically, and they will regret it for the rest of their lives if they give up such an opportunity.

Meng Yuanhou's gaze swept over and continued: "You must know that all your cultivation is against the sky. Heaven wants you to live only a few decades, you have to prolong your life for a hundred years or a thousand years, Heaven wants you to eat, sleep and sleep every day, you have to go through the valley without food and sleepless, Heaven wants you to jump no more than a few feet, your strength is not more than a hundred catties, you have to step on the clouds and destroy the mountains with strength; Heaven wants you to be weaker than demons and can be bullied, and you have to go through the avenue to kill demons and eliminate demons. ”

Meng Yuanhou was a little excited, his eyes were angry, and half of his ruined face looked more and more hideous and terrifying, and none of the children in the courtyard dared to make a sound.

"It's a pity that no one has climbed the Old Ancestor Peak until now. Meng Yuanhou calmed down, a little ashamed of his gaffe just now, so his voice became much more easy-going, "Don't think that that's impossible, even if you cultivate the way against the sky, you have to constantly break through the limit, on average, every twenty or thirty years, there is always a new disciple who can climb the Old Ancestor Peak with his own strength, and this person will always be the best in the future cultivation process." ”

"How long has it been since someone last climbed it?" asked Xin Youtao, who had never tried to climb a mountain before, but now he was a little interested.

"Thirteen years. ”

"Oh. Xin Youtao's interest has dropped again, and it seems that no one will succeed this year.

Meng Yuanhou decided to add a little more stimulation, "I said that those who can climb up will be rewarded with one Bairun Pill, well, it doesn't seem to be enough, so let's do it, I'll add one more gold spirit and ten silver spirits, does anyone want it?"

A few people were very excited, their eyes sparkled like night pearls, and most people did not understand what gold and silver were.

Meng Yuanhou stretched out his right hand, and there was something like a seed lying in his palm, smaller than a fingernail, and at this time, only a glimmer of morning light appeared in the sky, and the courtyard was gray, but Du Jiao's palm emitted an extremely bright light, drowning his arm almost in it, and strangely, the small seed at the core was still clearly visible.

Meng Yuanhou did not move, waiting for the morning sun to rise, and the light in his palm gradually faded, and finally only a thin layer of halo remained.

"This is the Golden Spirit, who knows where it came from and what it was used for?"

There were quite a few teenagers who knew about this, but no one had robbed Xin Youtao, and as soon as Dujiao's voice fell, he opened his mouth to answer, "Jin Lu is the essence of gold, and it takes a whole thousand taels of gold to refine one or two Jin Lu, and its use ...... It's too much. ”

Meng Yuanhou nodded, "Yes, one thousand taels is one out, this thing is extremely rare and very valuable." When you are successful in cultivating and can forge your own special magic weapons, gold and silver are necessary things, so there is also a saying that 'no spirit is not a treasure', even if you are reluctant to use it to forge magic weapons, you can also use them to exchange for other items, such as houses and land. ”

Meng Yuanhou's tone showed a hint of disdain, obviously feeling that the only correct use of gold and silver was forging magic weapons.

The children held their breath, and suddenly all their eyes turned to the old ancestral peak in the northeast, and from a distance, it didn't seem to be so towering.

"One or two out of a thousand and one or two, my God!" Daliang Shen Xiuming exclaimed in a low voice, "If you exchange it for gold again, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." ”

The other teenagers all laughed when they heard this, although Shen Hao didn't know much about Jin Lu, he also knew that this kind of exchange was a loss-making deal, "It must be very difficult to refine gold and silver Lu, you actually want to exchange it for gold?" haha." ”

Daliang Shen Xiuming smirked, thinking of the piles of gold and silver, his whole body felt hot.

Meng Yuanhou put away the golden spirit and did not show the other ten silver spirits, "One Bairun Pill, one golden spirit, ten silver spirits, I hope someone can get them this year, those who successfully climbed the mountain in the past did not have this kind of reward." ”

At this time, a hesitant voice came from the edge of the courtyard, "Can I also participate in mountain climbing?"

Under the eaves, Zhang Lingsheng poked his head out, his voice trembled slightly, and there seemed to be a residual glow of gold in his eyes.

Meng Yuanhou's original intention was to encourage the new disciples to move forward, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It's okay, anyway, you have only opened the Seven Tricks, and it is also a skill to be able to climb the Old Ancestor Peak." ”

After that, the fighting was not as fierce as usual, and the new disciples ate breakfast quickly, and several village women were almost too busy.

Shen Hao took two mouthfuls of food and asked, "Brother Xiaoqiu, why aren't you so interested?" Now you have climbed the highest, almost 7,000 steps, right? Even I was left behind by you, if anyone can get a reward this year, it must be you." ”

"Why aren't you interested?" Xiaoqiu put down his rice bowl, and he ate one bite at a time as usual, "But I'm only halfway up, and we're not the only ones who are interested." ”

There were already a lot of people in the dining room, and the rest of the children were whispering excitedly.

"That's when I remembered that they couldn't compare to you. Erliang Shen Xiuwei said disdainfully, and then turned his gaze to the table, "The Pei family brothers have a bit of strength. ”

It is no secret that the Pei family from Furong Mountain was born in the demon clan, Pei Zihan and Pei Ziqi can't make any friends, so they can only sit at a table alone, but they are very strong, not only are they superb in stick skills, but they also have to try to climb the mountain in their spare time every day, and they are making very fast progress, and they are only a hundred steps away from Xiaoqiu.

Their cousin Pei Shurong is in a much better situation, she is now Fang Fang's best friend, Fang Fang has taught many disciples to read and write, and her popularity is very good, with her help, Xiao Qing Tao was also accepted, and seven or eight little girls were gathered around at this time, chirping and discussing new rewards.

Shen Hao frowned and lowered his voice: "Brother Xiaoqiu, will you let Fangfang be friends with the little demon girl?" Fangfang is from Yelin Town, is it still ...... Still is...... You know. ”

The suppressed laughter of the teenager who ate together, Xiaoqiu's deeds of snatching relatives are also not a secret, and Fangfang no longer eats at the same table with the teenagers in the same town, which is also related to this.

Xiaoqiu has long been accustomed to the ridicule of her partners, and she also knows that the best way to deal with it is to accept it calmly, "Who Fangfang is friends with is her own business, others can't care, Xiao Qingtao is a good person, Pang Shan Dao Tong believes in the Pei family's non-demons, and that's enough." ”

After breakfast, the young man of Yelin Town and Fangfang and his group converged, and went out of the village to the northeast of the old ancestor peak, the villagers met on the way still maintained their initial enthusiasm and politeness, no matter how many Pangshan disciples passed by, they would put down their work and nod their heads.

Xiao Qingtao probably got a reminder that she no longer pestered Xiaoqiu to ask questions these days, and followed Fangfang closely, her voice was still sweet, and Erliang Shen Xiuwei once whispered that she was like a cat cub who never left her owner.

At the foot of the mountain, a large group of children had already gathered there, and a few anxious people had already gone out to climb the mountainside, so they missed Meng Yuanhou's personal guidance.

Seeing that all the children came, even Zhang Lingsheng put on a tight outfit and was eager to try, Meng Yuanhou was very happy, " Don't underestimate climbing the mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the peak, there are a total of 11,111 stone steps, no more, no less, the first 4,000 levels have no obstacles, as long as the body is abundant, you can climb up, the middle 4,000 levels are a little difficult, a few spells have been applied, the strong-willed person can grit his teeth and pass guΓ², and the last more than 3,000 levels of resistance is greater, the more the body and the will are not enough, the more you care about the difficulties in front of you, the more difficult it is to move an inch, you must have some breath to adjust your luck, meditate on the way to do nothing. ”

"It's been so long to say this?" Shen Hao whispered dissatisfaction.

Meng Yuanhou heard the complaint, smiled slightly, and the more frightened the ruined half of his face became, "As far as I know, none of you have passed the middle four thousand level, so it's not too late at all." ”

Xiao Qiu felt very ashamed in his heart, it turned out that he had worked hard for many days and was still struggling in the middle stage, and he was still a long way from the last journey, his temperament was more and more frustrated, and he didn't say anything, but he secretly decided that he must make a breakthrough today, at least he had to experience how difficult the last three thousand steps were.

Meng Yuanhou taught some simple methods of luck on the spot, the teenagers have not yet begun to practice Taoism, the so-called "luck" is only to regulate internal breath and stimulate the potential in the body, far less than the process of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth.

"I'm waiting for you at the top of the peak, pay attention, the last 3,000 steps are quite prohibited, even the grandmaster's gaze is difficult to penetrate, so I can't take care of it, don't be too reckless, when you feel uncomfortable, advance or retreat - you have to make a judgment for yourself. Meng Yuanhou waved his hand, "Let's go up the mountain." ”

More than 100 children rushed out, Xiaoqiu and others were experienced, but they were not in a hurry, and they moved forward with a steady degree of progress, and after more than 500 levels, they began to get more impatient pioneers, and after more than 1,000 levels, there were not many children in front.

Stimulated by the rich rewards, everyone's energy was more than usual, and usually after two thousand steps, some people began to turn around and go down the mountain, but today no one gave up, and they all walked the four thousand stone steps in one go.

According to Meng Yuanhou, the next 4,000 steps test the willpower, but the will is something that cannot be seen or touched, and it cannot be borrowed from the best friend, and there are more and more people who are left behind, but there are more than two or three hundred stone steps, and more than half of the people have stopped moving.

Xiao Qiu and Shen Hao walked in the front, "It's about to be seven thousand!" Shen Hao said breathlessly, this was the first time he had climbed to this height.

He is not the only one who has broken through the limit, there are more than a dozen stone steps behind him, Pei Zihan and Pei Ziqi are sweating hard to climb, and then down the corner of the corner, there are Fangfang and Xiaoqingtao, and a little further behind are the Shen family brothers, Daliang is far beyond the usual level, one hand on his younger brother's shoulder, and his mouth keeps muttering "one or two out of a thousand taels".

Xiao Qiu held back his strength, and he didn't start to exert his strength until he reached the seven thousand stone steps, which was his usual level, and he wanted to leave it behind completely today.

Shen Hao couldn't do it anymore, he waved his hand to signal Xiaoqiu to move on, he had to rest for a while anyway, although he knew that he would never want to go up again as soon as he sat down, he still couldn't control his tired legs.

Xiaoqiu climbed alone, perhaps because of a higher goal, the next more than 1,000 stone steps were not as difficult as imagined, he climbed in one go, and finally saw a small stone tablet erected on the side of the road, which was simply engraved with the words "eight thousand".

Xiao Qiu stopped and adjusted his internal breath according to the method taught by Meng Yuanhou, he completed the test of will, and from then on, he had to combine his will and skill to go further.

Just as Xiaoqiu was about to take a step, a shadow passed by him, this person walked so easily, the eight thousand stone steps seemed to be just warming him up.

Xin Youtao turned around and glanced at Xiaoqiu, "Don't be too reluctant, some abilities are innate, I have them, you don't have them, it's as simple as that." ”
