one's door

It's just that among the nations of slaves, only Nanyuan Kingdom has put down its dignity.In other places, slaves' children and young people are subconsciously excluded from the scope.

Therefore, some of the people who stand out from the perspective of knowledge are also mixed.

It was said before that only 50 people would be recruited, but now it is obviously more than this number.But Cliff Mountain still has nothing to say, that is to say, "50 people" will not change.So how do you determine which 50 people are?

Combined with what Mr. Zhang said before, "I will wait for you at the top of the mountain", does it mean "first come, first served"?

So even before entering the mountain gate, some children and young people are already running at full speed under the guidance of the family or forces behind them.Arrive earlier for more chances!

There is no one to guide the humble dog, and he himself does not understand these twists and turns, but he knows "follow the crowd" and "follow the hand".

Since I don't understand, it's right to run with those children who are not ordinary people just by looking at their outfits.If it wasn't for some reason to urge them, these young masters wouldn't run so unrestrainedly.

After running for almost a stick of incense, the dog's body and bones have been raised in the military village for a year, which is not bad. Although it is not as good as those young masters who practice martial arts, they still try their best to reach the cliff mountain with the fastest speed. underfoot.Go up some steps, and after a while, you will see a mountain gate carved with white jade.A tiger and a dragon are carved on the mountain gate. It is said that monsters like "dragon" can only be seen here.

There are two characters "dragon and tiger" on the top of the mountain gate.

There are steps to the inside of the mountain gate. Follow the mountain without rushing up. It will not be too steep, but it seems that there is no end in sight.It will meander, and a little bit up will be submerged in the clouds and mist in the mountains.

If you go up this gate, you will be within the gate of the cliff mountain, and the final destination is the top of the mountain. You can meet Mr. Zhang Yanzhang!

When the hound dog came to the foot of the cliff, he found that there were a lot of people here.Most of them kept running up, and a few rested in place, as if they had to wait for their physical strength to recover to their full strength before going up.

The hounds didn't stop, and those who rested were just weak.Although he didn't run fast, he had good stamina, and now he was just a little panting all the way, so there was no need to stop and rest.

So the dog respectfully bowed to the mountain gate imitating the people in front, then got up and rushed in.

The hundred and ten steps in front are fine.After the steps were hidden in the layer of mountain clouds, things suddenly became not quite right.

The hound didn't notice at first either.He really felt that his legs suddenly became a little heavier, and the more he went up, the heavier he felt.Before, I could raise my legs and stride up without any effort, but now I have to take a lot of effort to take every step, as if I was filled with lead.

"What's wrong with me? Am I hungry? Or sick?" The dog also found something abnormal.And it wasn't just him who was suddenly in trouble.He also found that the fellow travelers who were still running beside him had all disappeared at this moment.

disappeared?The hound dog felt a little scared.The surrounding clouds restricted his vision to a range of one or two meters, as if swallowing those who hadn't been seen.

How to do?

The hound hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and continued to move up.He has no retreat, even if there is any danger ahead, he can only charge upwards.And the desire in the dog's heart became more and more intense after he got the mountain climbing qualification, but his courage also became bigger and bigger.

One step, two steps... Sweat had already soaked the dog's clothes.His hair was also in strands, and even his face became pale. He hunched over and moved up the steps in front of him with his hands propped up feebly.He couldn't remember how many steps he had climbed.And how far ahead.

"Go up the mountain, go up the mountain!" The humble dog felt that his physical strength was about to be exhausted, and even his consciousness became blurred.

In a daze, he seemed to see a winter morning. He was lying in a haystack so cold that he couldn't move, and was dragged to the ground by a big dog biting his trouser leg...

Chapter 496 Screening

"Master, the emotions of three more people have collapsed."

Liu Rui was the first to go back to the mountain. When she heard that the master was going to hold a mountaineering meeting on the cliff mountain, she immediately set off and rushed back to the cliff mountain as fast as possible.For such a big matter in the mountains, she knew she should at least run errands.

Not only Liu Rui, Yang Rui also returned to the mountain one and a half months before the start of the mountaineering meeting.

When Liu Rui came back, she always felt that the second senior brother's face was a little blue, and his feet were light and unsteady when he walked.When asked, Yang Rui always waved his hands in embarrassment.This made Liu Rui more and more curious about what the second senior brother had experienced in the palace after he returned to Nanyuan Kingdom from the North Kingdom, and he had such a strange appearance.

And Wang Nian, he and Liu Rui went back to the mountain one after the other.Today, he is also the only Dao Dan Realm cultivator among the second generation of disciples in the mountains.

"Looking at them, those who are emotionally broken immediately stop the illusion and send them down the mountain."

"It's Master. But among these people, there are some who are quite talented. Isn't it a pity to send them down the mountain?" Liu Rui controlled the phantom formation on the stone steps to climb the mountain.In her perception, the few people who couldn't hold on in the illusion were all people with high brightness on the talent scale.Liu Rui felt that these talents were already hard to come by, so she couldn't help but ask one more question.

"Talent is indeed the primary basis for us to work together. But there is a premise, that is, we need to be reminded and paid attention to all the time, so that when the seedlings grow, they will not grow sideways, and even grow stronger and stronger, and will not become strong on the outside. This is how I treat you as a teacher.

But there are too many children on the mountain-climbing road, and I don’t have the energy to train them slowly like I treat you.Rather than saying that it will grow crooked or broken in the future, it is better to kill all possibilities in advance.

This road is not easy to walk, the test is the heart, if the heart is not strong enough, the character is not tough enough, so don't enter this door.Save yourself the trouble.

As for talent.Hehe, what Huang Tianyu lacks most is people with outstanding talents.It's just a seedling, what's the pity?What matters is fate.If you can't pass this road, then you don't have fate, so why should you care about anything else? "

Zhang Yan touched Liu Rui's head with a smile, he knew that Liu Rui was really thinking about Duanya Mountain.This is a good sign.There is no need for answering people in Cliff Mountain, but people who can think about things by themselves and be able to take charge of their own affairs.

At present, Wang Nian is one, Yang Rui is still a little worse, and Liu Rui seems to have started to take the initiative to be a director.

"It's Master, I understand." Liu Rui naturally understood everything after listening.At the same time, I also understand how lucky I and the other two senior brothers are to meet the master who opened the door to accept apprentices.Otherwise, at this time, it is absolutely impossible for Master to teach them personally.

This should be the fate that Master said?Liu Rui immediately remembered this word firmly in her heart.

Wang Nian was smiling at the side, approached and asked tentatively: "Master, who will teach these boys after they get started? Why don't they let them follow disciples? There are only fifty people, and I can teach them. I'm the best at laying the foundations... Ouch!"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Nian was slapped on the back of the head by Zhang Yan, slapping all the rest of the words in his stomach.

"You don't even have a solid foundation in Dao Dan, and you still want to teach others? Let's talk about it in a few years."

Although Wang Nian's xinxing has made a breakthrough in this experience, and his strength has greatly improved, but after all, he is only a half-year-old boy. If you expect him to be a master and teach an apprentice, it is simply a joke.Zhang Yan was even sure that Wang Nian didn't want to be a teacher to take his apprentices, but he habitually likes to be lively. His dream of being a "big brother" who grew up on the street is still there.The nonsense is still thinking about being able to make a fuss.

"Then how will the master teach them?" Yang Rui also thought that the master would select these climbers and push them in front of them to lay the foundation.After all, the foundation is relatively simple, and several people have done it repeatedly.You don't even need to make any changes, and you can't go wrong with copying the past.

But after listening to Zhang Yan's words, the three of Yang Rui also understood that Zhang Yan did not intend to let them stand in front, but had other arrangements.

Zhang Yan had nothing to hide about this, and explained with a smile: "The Chuanfa hall has been built for so long, and you have also practiced in it for a long time, do you think it is wrong? You only need to make a few changes and then give it to them. .As for talking about some key content, you can come out and speak out.

Wait a few years until there are outstanding people among these people before considering the matter of apprenticeship. "

"Huh? Then this kind of words seem to be very similar to those classrooms in the Academy of Miscellaneous Studies?" Wang Nian reacted.The only school he attended seriously was the School of Miscellaneous Studies that he went to with Zhang Yan when he was in Langyuan City.Dozens of children sit together and listen to a teacher explain knowledge, and when they encounter some unreasonable problems, they go to the teacher to answer them.No matter how you look at it, it is similar to what Master said.

"It's not like, but it's transferred from the academy's system. They will practice in the mountains in the way I just said in the future. After laying the foundation, they will be screened for strength. There will be other distinctions at that time. In the future, these disciples will You are classified as the 'bottom door'. And you are the top door. As for the middle door, it will be filled by those who perform better in the future."

Liu Rui thought for a while and asked: "Master, after listening to your opinion, will the mountain gate still regularly recruit disciples?"

"Of course. But not every year. Every five or ten years. There are still too few people in Duanya Mountain." Zhang Yan didn't expect Liu Rui's reaction to be so fast, and he could hear what he meant in a few words.However, Zhang Yan is not going to tell the three apprentices the reason for recruiting more disciples now.We'll have to wait until they grow up a bit.

"But Master, isn't the illusion you gave too difficult? Even if I fell into it, if it weren't for the harvest from this experience, it would be just as bad. What if I can't even collect 50 people? "

Although Wang Nian was slapped, he knew that his "big brother dream" was doomed, but he still hoped that the mountains would be more lively.

But even if he didn't control the phantom formation on the mountain climbing road like Liu Rui, he could still sense the contents of the phantom formation, and look at those who only went as far as the mountainside and didn't even reach the Jingxin Pavilion. Climber", really made Wang Nian sweat.It's no fun to worry that such a big battle in the end will result in no harvest.

"Why not. Look at that kid, although he was trapped in an illusion and couldn't escape for a while, he never stopped using his hands and feet. And although his mood fluctuated greatly, he was able to stabilize. I am optimistic about him!" Yang Rui saw the master Not interested in answering Wang Nian's words, so he interjected and pointed to a young man crawling on the steps and moving up bit by bit with his perception.

Chapter 497 Suffering

The hound dog has always been very clear that he has to fight for his life in order to have a living head.Whether it is groveling or submissiveness, it is to survive.When one day it is useless to be humble and submissive, he doesn't mind changing other ways to keep himself alive.

Like shredding everything.

The humble dog didn't know why he suddenly changed back to the past, and he felt an inexplicable fear when he saw his short arms and legs and his weakness.

Then those things that were so long ago that should have been blurred or even forgotten suddenly reappeared clearly.Just like really returning to that time.

But in a trance, time flies, and the dog has no choice but to experience the past of being sold as goods again, and there are many beatings, bullying, and abuse.Moreover, his all-time means of survival suddenly lost its effect, and the people around him did not reduce their troubles for him because of his obedience as in the "last time".On the contrary, it became more and more cruel, making the dog miserable.

It is at this time that emotions begin to fluctuate greatly.The hound dog felt that he was going to die.

"To live, to live..."

Finally, when the dog grabbed a firewood stick in the firewood house and swung it vigorously at several older slaves who were bullying him, everything seemed to have a new change.

The crazy desire to survive makes the humble dog seem to be a real mad dog with fangs.

At this time, the hound dog's mood became more excited and fluctuated more.But eventually he calmed down.Because he figured it out.

Since you can't live in one way in one place, then change another way in another place.

This time, in front of him were rows of sharp knives paving the ground, like steps going up with no end in sight.Every time he moved, it seemed that flesh had been cut off from his body.The blood couldn't stop at all, and the severe pain continued and was violent.Even before that, the hound thought that a person would faint if he went through this kind of torment.But he didn't at all, and even kept his mind clear.

"Climb to the top! Climb to the top and I'll live!"

At this moment, all the previous experiences and tortures seemed to have disappeared, and all that was left was the obsession with reaching the top of the mountain, and the deep determination in his heart that he could not miss the opportunity to climb to the top of the sharp knife mountain.

On the top of the mountain, the four masters and apprentices Zhang Yan, who each used their senses to probe into the illusion formation and then understood the status of all the climbers in the formation, watched the trembling young man crawling forward on the steps as if he was about to gnaw his teeth. look.They did not know the young man's name.But it does not prevent them from feeling that this son is very likely to become No.1 on the top of the mountain in this screening.

"Master, this kid is amazing! What's in his heart is bleak and miserable. Although he can't call it 'extreme', it's also bleak like no other in a hundred miles. It's not easy to find another way to break through in the illusion. ! Ordinary people can actively seek change in the illusion?"

In Wang Nian's perception, the young man who gritted his teeth and crawled up has now climbed to the forefront.Those who had been before him were all sent down the mountain now.He was even more surprised that this young man, with the strength of the soul of an ordinary person, could actually find another way in the illusion.He would never have believed that ordinary people could do this before.

Compared to Wang Nian who didn't have a specific grasp of the illusion, Liu Rui knew more.Her voice was serious, and she also paid attention to the young man who gritted his teeth and climbed, and said: "He not only found another way in the illusion, but also twisted the illusion with his subconscious obsession. Now the reason why he can emotionally Maintaining the state of the limit without collapsing is all supported by obsession.

Master, is this possible? "

Liu Rui herself suffered a catastrophe because of her obsession. In the end, if the master hadn't come to help in time, she would probably have suffered a great loss in her morals.

So Liu Rui has a subconscious worry about obsession.I think that thing is simply the biggest obstacle on the road of practice.

But now, Liu Rui was a little confused in this young man who gritted his teeth and persisted.Because if it weren't for the obsession in this child's heart to support him, he would not have been able to persist at the beginning of the illusion, let alone how to become the current number one mountaineering position all the way up.

Then it seems that obsession is not an obstacle, but a help.

Why is this?

Smiling, Zhang Yan also sensed that the phantoms experienced by the child in the illusion were all based on his own experience.This is a tragic reappearance, which is a great emotional shock to most people, even a horror.Because the illusion will especially magnify the unbearable things in the things experienced, the challenge is the maximum endurance of the heart.

But this child is indeed surprising.

"Obsession? Persistence in thinking, who told you that obsession must be an obstacle to practice?" Zhang Yan originally wanted to leave this stump to Liu Rui's self-realization.Now I didn't expect that it would be Liu Rui's chance to coincide with his meeting.

"But the obsession is stubborn. If you don't get rid of it, won't it hurt You Lie if you disturb your Taoism in the future." Liu Rui didn't want to understand.

Not only Liu Rui, Yang Rui and Wang Nian were also listening carefully at this time, they also had their own obsessions in their hearts, they didn't want to cut it off like Liu Rui, they were very hesitant.At this time, I naturally hope to hear Master's explanation.

"You are right, but you have to make a specific distinction. If your obsession goes against the persistence in your heart, it will naturally form an obstacle. Just as your own obsession ran counter to your way at the beginning, the obstruction will be fierce.

And if obsession and Dao Xin complement each other, how can there be any hindrance?

In fact, if we really want to count, obsession is a kind of vain thing. We cultivators pay attention to the mastery of thoughts. As long as we grasp the word mastery, obsession is not always a problem, and it is inevitable to become a help.

Just like this child, his Dao heart has not awakened, but his original heart for survival is unusually strong, combined with his obsession, he is now in this situation. "

Liu Rui's expression was complicated when she heard the words. Her Dao heart was just formed, and cutting off her past was one of them, but now she realized that her heart disaster did not originate from her own obsession at all but from her own Dao.

"Everyone has their own opportunities, why compare with others? Isn't it stupid to increase troubles?"

"The apprentice has been taught." Although Liu Rui didn't fully understand it, she already roughly understood the twists and turns that Zhang Yan said, and also understood the essential relationship between obsession and Taoism.

Yang Rui and Wang Nian beside him were also thoughtful.

"Okay, let's put aside the matter of obsession for now, and take care of those babies in the phantom array, and don't let them have any accidents." Zhang Yan nodded, Liu Rui's question about obsession was just a small episode.Those babies and teenagers on the climbing stone steps are what matters.

"It's Master, my disciples won't make mistakes." Liu Rui also quickly calmed down, focusing her attention on the phantom array again.

Chapter 498

The dog's consciousness has long been blurred, but the severe pain all over his body is exceptionally clear.Both physically and mentally seemed to be urging him to take a break.Only a voice in his heart that he insisted on screaming made him never stop.

Even if you move slowly, even if you move up bit by bit, you can't stop at all!

Because once you stop, you will definitely "die"!

I don't know how long it has been.Those tragic past events all disappeared from sight, as if they had never appeared.It reappeared the surrounding clouds and mist.Those heart-wrenching sharp knives disappeared, and the stone steps in front of my eyes changed back to the previous appearance.

"The ones just now are all fake? Is it my dream?" The dog couldn't help but think so.He felt that his previously muddled mind became clear again at this moment.

"Could it be that those just now were the tests of the gods on the cliff mountain?" The dog felt that his guess was reasonable.If one wants to obtain the power of God, how can there be no test at all?

Do you find the test too difficult?

Yes and no.Compared to the days when he was really going back a year ago when he could fall down at any time on the quarry and never get up again, the dog felt that what he had just experienced was nothing at all.Just like a nightmare.Waking up is a good thing!

"But why is the whole body still unbearably tired?" The dog's mind is clear, but he still finds it difficult to support his body.Fatigue permeated every inch of his body.

Looking back, I saw that my back was covered by clouds and mist just like the one in front of me, and there was only a vast expanse of whiteness within a few feet.

How long have I climbed, how far have I climbed, and how far is ahead.I don't know anything.

Suddenly, the hound dog saw that the clouds and mist in front seemed to be lighter, and he could dimly see that there seemed to be a gentle terrace in the distance in front of him.

"Is that the top of the mountain?" The dog was excited.

After climbing a few more steps, a small coffee table appeared in the clouds and mist, just beside the steps.There is a teapot, a teacup, and a plate of fragrant rice cakes on the coffee table.

God!Rice cakes!That's the dog's favorite food.It is a delicacy that is eaten once a year.With a pot of hot tea, the hound dog felt that he could rest on the coffee table.After all, the top of the mountain was already in front of him, and it seemed that there was no one walking in front of him.

"Would you like to rest for a while?" There will inevitably be hesitation in my heart.After all, he was really tired and hungry at this moment, and with the end point in sight, it was perfectly fine to take a break.

On the top of the mountain, Wang Nian also looked a little nervous, thinking in his heart that this illusion was too detrimental.Not only does it test people's resilience in the most difficult situations and their ability to withstand suffering, but it also paralyzes people by pretending that victory is in sight at the last moment, and makes people fall into the gutter.

Those teas and everyone's favorite food are traps. Once you touch them, you will feel extremely comfortable and relaxed, and you may be trapped in the comfort before victory, and it is difficult to have any motivation to move forward.

To be honest, Wang Nian didn't think he could perform well in this level of illusion.He even felt that if he hadn't experienced the experience of the past three years, he would definitely not be able to get through this illusion.

Taking a sneak peek at the Dengyun Palace behind him, the master has already gone back.Wang Nian felt that for these new disciples, Master seemed to be less friendly and more harsh and cold.

I don't know if Wang Nian's inner reminder played a role.The boy who was struggling to climb did not stop because of the teapot and rice cakes that appeared on the side of the stone steps.Still going up the mountain little by little.
