"What if Youren can't pass the climbing road?" Although Zhang Huiyuan has confidence in her eldest son, the climbing road on the cliff mountain is not a joke, and she dare not say that Zeng Youren can definitely break into the top five on this level Ten, the difficulty can be imagined.

Wang Nian replied: "Sister Huiyuan, don't worry, even if Youren can't win on the mountain climbing road, I will still come here to teach him the Dharma as before. This is our family's ability, and it will definitely not be passed on to Youren. any problem."

"What's the difference? There must be some difference inside, right? Little Stone, don't try to perfuse my sister!" Although Zhang Huiyuan was satisfied with this answer, she was also curious about the reason why her second brother made this rule.

Wang Nian had nothing to hide from his family, but he just didn't know if Zhang Huiyuan could understand.

"Sister Huiyuan, the difference is that after entering the mountain, it is very likely to grow into a generation of strong people. What is strong is not only the means, but also the heart.

And if you can't pass the mountaineering road, unless you have another opportunity to practice in the future, the possibility of becoming a strong person will be much smaller.But with Youren's talent, even if he can't enter the mountain gate, he will have a good cultivation base in the future.At least it is not a problem to practice to the Dao Dan state. "

Chapter 517

Cliff Mountain is still the same Cliff Mountain, but Changhu County, where Cliff Mountain is located, seems to have changed a long time ago.

If we say that the most fun place in the human kingdom of Huangtianyu is also the place that has the most things to do. Xiangyu City of Hongming Kingdom, then Changhu County of Nanyuan Kingdom is the place that attracts the most attention and is crowded every six years in the human race kingdom. place.

Although a year was reserved for the first mountaineering meeting, in fact, neither the mobilization of school-age children in their respective countries nor the rules of the mountaineering meeting were truly paid attention to.At that time, except that Nanyuan Kingdom was dealing with the mountaineering meeting with the whole country, Bieguo more or less had the meaning of "see first".

But when the first batch of fifty disciples entered the mountain for three years, they successively got the opportunity to go down the mountain to visit relatives. The youngest was only nine years old, and the oldest was only 17 years old. enthusiasm was completely ignited.

Today, when the martial artist's practice path has long been solidified, Taoism, cliff mountain, and mountaineering clubs have become new channels to open up classes and pursue the strongest strength.

So starting from the second mountaineering meeting, it took several years to prepare, and there were too many people who finally arrived in Changhu County.

The surge of millions or even tens of millions of foreign population has brought great challenges to Changhu County and even the entire Nanyuan Country.First, beware of intentional sabotage by uneasy and well-meaning people.Second, it is also necessary to prevent large-scale problems caused by large-scale gatherings of people and causing confusion.In the end, it is necessary to benefit from these surging populations, rather than simply exist as a location.

Eating, drinking, and lodging, this dragon came down and forced Changhu County to change continuously for more than ten years, and finally formed a special place where people disperse when they are free and gather from all directions when they are busy.

Every six years, people in Long Lake County can make a lot of money from one month before to one month after the start of the mountaineering meeting.It is even worth more than a year's income of many people under normal circumstances.

The Zeng family did not need to follow the overall arrangement of Nanyuan Kingdom to go to the cliff mountain.Wang Nian personally picked up the three members of Zeng's family and arrived at the foot of the cliff one month ahead of schedule, where they lived in the post house that the special case department had always set up at the foot of the mountain.There are also some descendants of Nanyuan Kingdom's princes and important officials living together, as well as some royal children who have good relations with Nanyuan Kingdom.

The reason why he didn't go up the mountain directly was to let Zeng Youren feel the competition of the mountaineering club in advance and the difficulty of finding places to enter the mountain.

Of course, Zhang Huiyuan, who is Zhang Yan's sister, was carried into the mountain by Wang Nian on the first day of her arrival, and she came down after playing in the mountain for more than ten days.She also said that she would stay on the mountain for a few more days after the mountaineering meeting was over, at worst, the third child in her belly would also be born in the mountain.He said that he wanted the third son to be born with the blessings of the mountains.

Zeng Youren didn't care about these things anymore. Although he lived in the post house, more and more people around the cliff mountain brought him endless pressure.

Millions or even tens of millions of people compete for the fifty places to climb the mountain.This really makes one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

But as a relative, Zhang Yan gave Zeng Youren enough convenience.He will be in the first echelon to be screened by the talent scale, and because he has already started to practice Taoism beforehand, Zeng Youren must pass this test.It also means that he can use the fastest speed to step on the climbing stone steps of the cliff mountain and enter the next level.

Timing is of the utmost importance when it comes to hiking trails.Because only the top [-] are selected, so in the case of also being able to clear the mountain climbing road, whoever comes first will directly determine who wins and who wins.

Most people would also like to know the doorway here, but there is no way to operate it.But there is still a way for the top group of people in the human country.It's just that the price is high or low.

Of course, all the convenience ends here.There is no way to go any more.Even the biggest shady scene is that Zeng Youren went climbing the mountain with a cultivation level that was not inferior to that of some three-generation disciples.It is estimated that only the last few generations of my family can be taken care of by Zhang Yan in this way.

After waiting for another ten days at the foot of the Cliff Mountain, the six-yearly mountaineering meeting began.As usual, Zhang Yan showed up before the meeting, and then all the management was handed over to Wang Nian and other three second-generation disciples.

Of course, some outstanding third-generation disciples also participated in the chores of the Mountaineering Club.Even a simple show of face will attract the attention of all parties.If you recognize that it is a hero from your own excess, you need to shout twice with great fanfare, to attract envy and shine on your face.

As expected.Zeng Youren was among the first to be qualified for mountaineering after the official start of the mountaineering meeting.People like him with cultivation and strength have been noticed long ago.But after a little inquiring, everyone chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and even deliberately let Zeng Youren go first and step up the stone steps first.

For others, entering the cliff mountain means that they can soar into the sky and ignore the worldly relationship.But Zeng Youren is different.In the eyes of many people, even if Zeng Youren can't enter the cliff mountain, he still has to try his best to express his goodwill.After all, the previous Zhang family who was taught in advance was Wang Nian, the head of the second generation of disciples in Duanya Mountain.

Down the mountain, the station.

"Husband, do you think Youren can succeed?"

With Zhang Huiyuan's big belly, she definitely couldn't come to the foot of the mountain to watch the excitement.Zeng Hao also stayed by her side.Zeng Youren followed the special arrangements from the Nanyuan Country Post House to go there by himself.

But looking at the vast crowd, Zhang Huiyuan was unavoidably nervous.

Patting his wife's hand and hugging it lightly, Zeng Hao said in relief: "Didn't you look away before? Is it so important to be strong or not? No matter how strong you are, can you beat Second Brother Zhang?

In fact, I think it might not be a bad thing even if Youren can't climb the mountain.It depends on how you look at the result.You must know that becoming a strong person is not just about passing the mountain climbing road.That is to go through the tempering of thunderbolt wind and rain.It's just that the mountaineering road is used as a screening in front of it.

Our children are already taking advantage of it.It's actually nice to be more stable.What do you say? "

Zeng Hao saw it clearly.Although strength is good, it does not mean stability.My child's only wish is to grow up happily and live in peace and stability.Promising?Which is promising?Different people have different opinions.

Zhang Huiyuan was in charge of most of the Zhang family's business in Nanyuan Kingdom, and her mind was no worse than Zeng Hao's, so she naturally understood the reasoning behind it.But she wondered why Zeng Hao was so determined.After all, in the past ten years or so, becoming a monk on the cliff mountain does not seem to have anything to do with dangerous experiences.

"Did you see something?"

"It's not that I can see it, but based on my understanding of the second brother, he is not a person who likes to be lively and show off. He prefers to take care of his own three-acre land, and he doesn't bother to waste energy on the extra Just like when he was in Miscellaneous Academy. Later, he only accepted three people including Wang Nian.

But suddenly, dozens of people began to collect up the mountain.

I always feel that the second brother is on guard against something.It seems that there is something that he can't survive on his own, and needs help. "

"Huh? Husband, are you thinking too much?"

Chapter 518 Disciple

More than ten years can't talk about the vicissitudes of life, but it can also make many things very different from the past.

Just like the spiritual veins in the cliff mountain, now it has more than doubled compared to ten years ago. Six or seven large spiritual veins are intertwined and rooted in the depths, covering the cliff mountain and the surrounding areas within the range of the mountain gate formation.

Just talking about the concentration of aura, the Huangtian Territory is divided into two levels, one is "the cliff mountain" and the other is "beyond the cliff mountain".There is a world of difference between the two.

Therefore, when it comes to the environment of practice, the outside world is completely incomparable with Duanya Mountain.

This kind of change comes from Zhang Yan's traction over the past ten years. After he is proficient in the technique, he is much more proficient in pulling the spiritual veins than before.Small and medium-sized spiritual veins can pull a dozen or so at a time, and after running together a few times, they can form the current situation of the blessed land and the cave.

The ones who benefit the most are naturally the creatures who practice in the mountains.

There are now [-] disciples in the Dragon and Tiger Gate of the Cliff Mountain. After three recruitments and over a span of more than ten years, Zhang Yan has formed a structure consisting of upper, middle and lower layers under Zhang Yan's original conception.

The upper level is composed of Wang Nian, Liu Rui and Yang Rui.They are now the center of the normal management and maintenance of the entire disciple structure in the cliff mountain.From teaching, to training, to arranging minor resources, and even rewards and punishments, they are almost all under their control.

The middle-level disciples are all from the current three generations, a total of 12 disciples, all of whom are outstanding among the three generations in terms of cultivation, performance during competitions, and xinxing evaluation.And now they are all gathered under the sect of Wang Nian and other three second-generation disciples.

There is also Zhang Yan's instruction.In the past, Wang Nian and the other three were not qualified to accept disciples.But what changed in ten years was not only the layout and aura of Duan Yashan, but also the growth of Wang Nian and the three of them.Whether it is the realm of cultivation, or the comprehension of the Tao, or even the knowledge of practice, they have fully reached the standard of being a teacher.

A year and a half ago, the three of Wang Nian officially became teachers.

And each of the three took four apprentices evenly.

Since then, the entrances to the three main halls on the cliff mountain have officially settled down.Liu Rui is in charge of the teaching hall, Wang Nian is in charge of the alchemy hall, and Yang Rui is in charge of the law enforcement hall.

Although the halls are not so perfect, and many things are done concurrently by the three halls, the entire cliff mountain really has what a sect should look like now.

This is the fourth time to recruit disciples, and it is also the last time for the fourth generation of disciples to recruit.This time it is still 50 people, and then the total number of disciples of the third and fourth generations of the cliff mountain will reach nearly 200 people.

Why is it less than two hundred?It was because two of them had already died in the hands of Yang Rui, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall.

A little conflict, relying on cultivation base to beat fellow apprentice brothers to death, resulting in disability.In the end, if Yang Rui hadn't arrived in time, he would have been beaten to death directly.Afterwards, the disabled disciple was able to recover only by Zhang Yan's personal action.But the two who did it were directly cut off by the enraged Yang Rui in front of all the disciples as a warning to others.

"Wood, what are you doing with a stern face all day long? Master didn't let you sit in the Law Enforcement Hall to turn you into a log. You don't want to scare the disciples below with a stern face, do you?"

Wang Nian likes his current position in the gate very much.In the alchemy hall, he already likes alchemy and tool refining, and he is also good at this.In addition, the work of alchemy and tool refining is not much so far, and the four disciples under his sect are now completely fine in refining bone strengthening pills and some basic pills.It also allowed Wang Nian to have more free time without delaying his practice.You can even go down the mountain from time to time.Life is comfortable.

On the other hand, Yang Rui stayed in the mountains all day, and since he killed two disciples, his murderous aura has increased day by day.It was even heard that he often took his disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall to the Yaozu's territory, and used real killings to make the Law Enforcement Hall better understand actual combat and viciousness.

Perhaps Wang Nian was the only person on Duanya Mountain who, besides Zhang Yan, dared to make fun of Yang Rui unscrupulously.Even Liu Rui couldn't be as close as before, she stopped calling "Brother Wood" and called "Second Senior Brother" instead.

"Brother, Shitou, it's not that I think so, but since the master has entrusted the Law Enforcement Hall to me, I must do it well. The disciples under the sect have a variety of backgrounds, and there are all kinds of identities. There are some who obey the rules and some who don't Well-behaved. Once one is blinded by power, the rules of the house are easily forgotten, and they are not even taken seriously at all.

If the law enforcement hall is lukewarm, how can the majesty of the mountain gate exist?What's more, with the sword hanging above the head, how can there be room for us to slack off? "

Yang Rui's temperament is like this, he doesn't like to think too much in his mind.After identifying a path, I worked hard to go down.Especially after he handled the relationship with Nanyuan Kingdom well, the "Tao" in his heart progressed crazily.As a result, apart from the limited number of people he identifies with, he can't get close to others at all.It was also the reason why he was relentless in killing the disciples in the mountain gate.If it were Wang Nian and Liu Rui, they definitely wouldn't be the killers, at most they would just lose their cultivation and drive down the mountain.

In fact, like Wang Nian, Yang Rui now sits comfortably in the position of the head of the Law Enforcement Hall. He doesn't like excitement, and the less people talk to him, the more he can immerse himself in his own world and continue to understand his own way.

"Okay, okay, just treat me as a fart, right? You don't know why you are so rigid every day? You are the father of five children! Be careful that your own children won't even kiss you!"

"Brother Stone!" Yang Rui couldn't hold back anymore.Fortunately, he and Liu Rui were the only ones nearby at this time, otherwise he would be ashamed if the disciples below heard his words.

Wang Nian chuckled, but didn't continue to tease Yang Rui, after all, being used as a stallion by the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom, this is really not that honorable.

Liu Rui covered her mouth and smiled beside her.But he will not participate in the bickering between the two senior brothers.Of course, it should be said that the senior brother bullied the second senior brother unilaterally.

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you anymore. See? The one walking at the front on the mountain climbing road is Zeng Youren, but the genius I have taught in the past few years. It's the late stage of the Profound Vessel Realm! It's still at the foot of the mountain, and a cultivated I haven't eaten Yuan Dan yet. With this talent alone, I'm afraid I'm not inferior to my junior sister." Wang Nian changed the topic.And it can be seen that he has a sense of proportion, calling Yang Rui is still a nickname, but calling Liu Rui is no longer called "Little Mantou".After all, other women have to pay attention to some things.

"His talent is better than mine. But it seems that he is still immature. But he is simple. If there is no accident, it should not be a big problem to break into the top [-]. But it is impossible to keep the top position." Liu Rui gave her own opinion.

"Hey, this kid seems to be valued by the master. How do you think the master will arrange him after entering the mountain gate? You can't let him practice with the fourth-generation disciples?"

"Why not? He was a disciple of the fourth generation when he started. What does this have to do with his cultivation?" Yang Rui's voice returned to coldness. He doesn't think Zeng Youren needs special treatment now.

Chapter 519 Mutation

Five days is actually ample time for recruiting fifty disciples, and the quota is always filled up earlier than the time.

This will actually miss a lot of talented and good-natured seedlings who are fully capable of climbing the cliff.But the rules of Cliff Mountain are like this, 50 people each time.As for whether to catch up or not, that is everyone's fate.Fair and unfair both.

Those who climbed the mountain gate basically exhausted all their strength.There are not a few people who fainted after climbing the mountain.This is what happens when the tense nerves are relaxed.

Therefore, the initiation ceremony for new disciples will not start immediately, but will give them three days to adapt and recover.Some new disciples with severe mental exhaustion will also be comforted by the pills from the Danqi Hall, ensuring that every new disciple can start a new chapter of life with the best appearance.

Most of the disciples rarely see the sect master in the mountains.Except for some important events in the sect, or once a year when the sect master opens the altar to give lectures, the sect master usually lives in seclusion.

The disciples didn't find it strange.After all, the majestic Lord of the Cliff Mountain, one of the three top powerhouses in the Desolate Heaven Territory, must spend his time on cultivation instead of wandering around all day long.

The mystery of the strong also makes few people dare to set foot in the middle of the cliff mountain.

Only Wang Nian and the others knew that their master didn't always like to live in secluded places. He often wandered around the mountains in the past, and would take them around on the Skylark Shuttle from time to time.In fact, it was only six or seven years ago that Master became so seldom shown outside.

Now even if the three of Wang Nian want to meet their master, they still need to ask for a meeting in front of the Dengyun Hall, and they are forbidden to enter the hall only after they are promised.In the past, the master would only set up restrictions to prevent people from approaching at the critical moment of breakthrough.

I can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out.But this does not affect the rapid development of Duan Yashan, and it is also because of Zhang Yan's letting go that the three of Wang Nian grow so fast.

"Master, this is the roster calculated after the new disciples started this time. It has been verified with the Nanyuan National Special Case Department, and all the context is clear and there is no problem."

In Dengyun Hall, Zhang Yan was sitting on a chair, his appearance remained unchanged from ten years ago, and his face was still smiling habitually as before.The aura on his body was also very peaceful, and he didn't even feel that he was a monk at all, but more like an ordinary young man with deep and handsome eyes.

Even this sense of commonality became more and more obvious in the eyes of Wang Nian and the other three.

"Well, you need to find out what background you have before you get started. After you get started, you should also pay attention to your character. Yang Rui, your law enforcement hall is especially important. You must cooperate closely with Liu Rui's teaching hall to make timely detection and correction. It’s best not to have such an extreme situation like before.”

Yang Rui quickly bowed to answer, and Liu Rui beside him also said that he would pay close attention to the character of these new disciples, and would immediately intervene with the Law Enforcement Hall if any problems were found.

"Master, Zeng Youren has already started. He is ranked thirteenth among all the new disciples. However, Zeng Youren's cultivation has reached the late stage of the Profound Vein Realm. It seems a bit inappropriate to arrange him to practice together with the new disciples. Please show me, Master." Liu Rui was in charge of the arrangements for the new disciples.She also felt a little undecided about Zeng Youren's cultivation that Wang Nian had mentioned before.As it was related to Master's relatives, Liu Rui felt that it was better to ask them face to face so as not to make any mistakes.

"The thirteenth pick? Hehe, that's not bad. The child has a temper like my sister, but his heart is more like his father Zeng Hao. He is a simple-minded person. And he has rarely been sharpened since he was a child. Climbing the ladder is a test for him. It was sustained by perseverance. In the future, let him venture more and experience dangers, which should be able to help him find his own way.

As for his seniority is the fourth generation of disciples, he must belong to the fourth generation of disciples to practice together.This rule will not be taken care of specially just because he brings art into the house.

However, considering that his cultivation is indeed different from that of the other four generations of disciples, he can be allowed to sit in on the practice of the third generation of disciples.The rest of the practice is still based on guidance, don't interfere with him.

Liu Rui, you can follow up with Wang Nian on this matter.After all, Zeng Youren had been taught by Wang Nian before, and he would give her more suitable advice. "

"Yes, my disciple understands."

"If you have nothing to do, go down. I will attend the grand ceremony in three days."

"Master, there is one more thing. This is the note from Shen Wujiu, the special case officer, when I went down the mountain today, saying that it is something you have been telling them to pay attention to before, and there is a new situation." Wang Nian said from the storage bag He took out a copper bar and handed it to Zhang Yan with both hands.

After Zhang Yan took it, he glanced at the mark on the seal of the copper bar, and then tore it apart.

The content in the copper bar is actually not much, less than half a foot wide, Zhang Yan quickly read it, and then pushed the copper bar in front of Wang Nian.

"Let's take a look too."

The Special Cases Department of Nanyuan Kingdom is much more unbearable now than it was ten years ago.Their eyes and ears are not only in the Nanyuan country itself.As long as there is a country that asks for Nanyuan country, there is an intelligence channel for the special case department.Most of them are even acquiesced by the other country.Because Nanyuan Nation's request will not embarrass them, a "message exchange" will allow them to willingly provide some information in exchange.

And Zhang Yan can also collect some news in the human race country through the channels of the Nanyuan Country Special Case Department.

Zhang Yan is not interested in the so-called "secret" in general.He is interested in some strange and strange things that cannot be explained in the factory, or that have never happened before.Just like the strange incident that happened in Xiyuan County of Nanyuan Kingdom more than ten years ago.

"Master, I have been to the disappearing lake mentioned above before. It is a very famous scenic spot in Hongming Kingdom. Although it is not very big, the surrounding area is exquisitely built. It is unforgettable to go boating and listen to music." Wang Nian Read it first, and pass the copper bar to Liu Rui after reading it.

"Have you been there? Then you will be responsible for this matter. Go there and make arrangements. Leave as soon as possible."

"It's Master!"

Regarding Zhang Yan's arrangement and the incident on the copper bar, none of them, including Wang Nian, were too surprised.This is not the first time this has happened in the past two or three years.And the frequency is getting higher and higher.And the scope of events is getting bigger and bigger.In the past, it was just a few houses disappearing out of thin air.Now it has developed to the point where a lake has disappeared.

If you say it's okay, who will believe it?

After reading the content on the copper bar, Liu Rui frowned and said: "Master, these situations are becoming more and more frequent, do you think it is the possibility you mentioned?

The murderer is always killed, and the devourer is also devoured? "

Zhang Yan smiled, nodded, and said: "The catastrophe in Huangtianyu may come much sooner than I expected. But the specific situation has to be seen again. But you have to be mentally prepared."
