Chapter 4: Bone Refining Cliff
Hall Master Yue said loudly in front of everyone: "Listen, everyone, if you go forward from the path in the bamboo forest, you can reach the bone refining cliff of the Seven Xuanmen, the first section of the road is the bamboo forest section, then the rock wall area, and finally a mountain cliff, only those who can reach the top of the cliff can enter the Seven Xuanmen, if you can't reach it before noon, although you can't become a formal disciple, but if you have something commendable, you can be accepted as a registered disciple." ”
Han Li naturally didn't know the meaning of "Named Disciple", he only knew that he had to climb the mountain anyway, and when he looked forward, it was a hillside that was not too steep, and many long bamboos of different thicknesses grew on the slope, and it didn't seem to be too difficult to climb!
Han Li looked at the others, he didn't want to lose to his peers, and among the other children, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Hall Master Yue looked at the sunrise and said, "It's almost time, get ready to go! Don't be afraid, the senior brothers will protect you from behind, and you won't be in danger." ”
Han Li looked back at the young people behind him, it turned out that these people were called Senior Brothers, probably the disciples they had accepted before, if they had joined in, would they be able to wear clothes with the same spirit!
While he was pondering, Han Li found that the rest of the children had already rushed into the bamboo forest, and seeing this scene, he hurriedly followed closely.
The bamboo forest should be very wide, more than thirty children, as soon as they rushed into the bamboo forest, they immediately dispersed, Han Li was followed by a slender senior brother, this person had a cold face, and followed him without saying a word, Han Li was a little scared, he didn't dare to talk to him, he just raised his steps, lowered his body, and slowly walked forward along the slope.
This bamboo forest didn't look very good, but after walking for a long time, it felt hard to walk, and the legs were getting heavier and heavier, and gradually Han Li had to use one hand to pull the stem of the bamboo slightly to move forward, so that it would take less effort.
After persisting like this for a long time, Han Li was really tired enough, so he had to find a random mound of dirt and make it down, and then kept gasping.
Han Li took the time to glance back at the slender senior brother, although the ground was very steep, this senior brother was still standing still, not a trace of dust on his body seemed to be touched, and he was standing as tall as those bamboos, looking at him quietly not far below him.
Seeing Senior Brother's cold gaze, Han Li was a little frightened in his heart, and hurriedly turned his head back, and heard the sound of panting from the front, knowing that there was someone in front of him who was crawling faster than himself who was also resting, Han Li stayed in place for a while, and then hurried up.
The slope sloped even more, and Han Li's strength in his body was getting smaller and smaller, so that he wouldn't be able to stand while walking, Han Li could only bend his waist and walk hand and foot together, finally the clothes on his body were strong enough, otherwise the joints and knees of his limbs would be worn out.
Finally walked out of this dense bamboo forest, but Han Kui only felt that this last bit of the road was getting more and more difficult to walk, and the rocks on the ground gradually increased, but on the contrary, there were fewer and fewer bamboos.
Han Li finally couldn't pull the bamboo pole anymore, and this last distance could be regarded as a meter of moving over.
As soon as he walked out of the bamboo forest, he saw a wide area in front of him, and in front of him was a huge mountain rock, on which there were already several thin bodies, slowly climbing upward, and behind them were all followed by senior brothers dressed in the same clothes, Han Li no longer hesitated at the moment, and hurriedly ran towards the boulder wall in front of him.
The stone walls of this boulder were patches of stacked rock, which were very weathered, and they would shatter when they touched it in some places, of course, there were also many solid pieces of gravel, very sharp, and with only one meal, Han Li's hands were already scarred, the clothes on his elbows and knees had also been torn, and the flesh inside had been cut in many places, even though the wounds were very small, some fine gravel slag seeped into it, making the pain even more painful.
The first few had already climbed farther and farther, and Han Li could only grit his teeth in his heart and climb up with great difficulty when he thought of what his family and third uncle had told him.
Before leaving, Han Li's father and third uncle had already reminded Han Li that the test to get started would be very difficult, and if he didn't stick to the end, it would be impossible to join the Seven Xuanmen, at this time, Han Li didn't care whether he could enter the Seven Xuanmen or not, but a fierce attack in his heart flared up, and this breath was blocked inside, and he had to catch up with the others.
Han Li raised his head and looked at it with great difficulty, the person who was climbing at the front now was Wu Yan, after all, Wu Yan was more than a year older than Han Li, he had also practiced some martial arts, and his body was much stronger than other children, so it was not surprising to climb at the front.
Han Li glanced back at the back a few more times, there were still many figures moving behind him, Han Li took a breath and accelerated forward again.
The strength of the milk was exerted, but the distance between him and the first few people was still not closer, and his body was getting heavier and heavier, and he saw that the sun was gradually climbing to the middle of the sky, while Wuyan had climbed to the end of the boulder wall.
There is a vertical and steep mountain cliff, more than 30 zhang high, from the top of the cliff hanging down a dozen hemp ropes, the hemp rope is still tied a fist-sized knot, Wuyan is now climbing one of them, slowly little by little is moving to the top of the cliff.
Han Li looked at Wuyan in front of him, a little discouraged, he knew that he couldn't catch up with the few people in front, and there wasn't enough time.
With this thought, suddenly there was a burning pain from the injury at the elbow and knee at the same time, his limbs were weak, and the hand that was holding the rock trembled, and his whole body fell down suddenly, Han Li's frightened heart fluttered, and he hurriedly pressed his whole body tightly against the stone wall, not daring to move again.
After a while, my heart calmed down, and I grabbed a protruding stone corner with my hand and pulled it a few times, which was more secure, and then I was relieved.
Han Li subconsciously looked back, and saw that the senior brother behind him was half-squatting with his arms open, assuming a posture to protect Han Li, and seeing that he was safe again, he slowly stood up straight.
Han Li felt grateful in his heart, if he really fell, the hard work ahead would be in vain!
Finally came to one of the hemp ropes that no one was, the sun had almost reached the middle of the sky, and it would be completely noon in less than half an hour, at this time Wuyan had already climbed to the top of the cliff, and was looking back, when Han Li climbed to the bottom of the hemp rope, he happened to see Wuyan, only to see him raise his arm, stretch out his little thumb and lightly compare it to the person under the cliff twice, and then laugh wildly, and then leave.
Han Li felt annoyed in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed the hemp rope and climbed up.
However, Han Li had already lost the slightest strength in his whole body, and now he could barely grasp the knot.
When he climbed up to the end of the knot with great effort, and sat on it, he felt that his whole body was so soft that he couldn't even move a finger, and he turned his head to look at it with great effort, and there were still some children sitting there on the stone wall behind him, gasping for breath, and it seemed that he had used up the last trace of strength like himself.
Han Li could only smile bitterly in his heart, he underestimated this test too much, but fortunately he didn't fall behind, and turned his head to see the cold senior brother again. After Han Li hesitated for a moment, he still made up his mind and climbed up a little more, although he would definitely not be able to climb before noon, wouldn't it be too ugly to not move at all!
Han Kui stretched out his hands that were a little stiff, exerted the little strength he had just recovered, and slowly moved up along the knot, but at this time, Han Li's hands were completely disobedient, and he couldn't grasp the rope at all, and after grinding for a while, there was still no result.
