Chapter 153 The road is difficult
Zhang Chaozong looked around for so long, and he had already figured out the power of Jumang's punch. As soon as he stood up, he was ready. At this moment, he saw the other party shoot a white light and shouted suddenly.
"Excuse me." Zhang Chaozong slapped a palm at the white light.
The Heaven and Earth Creation Hand, which was shrouded in colorful aperture, appeared out of thin air, and the inscriptions floated continuously on the phantom of the palm, and its momentum was like boiling, like snow.
"Bang." The Creation of Heaven and Earth slapped the white light with a palm, and the white light flashed a few times and dissipated.
Although the white light was broken, Zhang Chaozong only felt a powerful force attacking. He took advantage of the momentum to take two steps back and relieved the huge impact.
"Thank you for your mercy, senior." Zhang Chaozong bowed to Ju Mang.
Ju Mang finally showed a look of surprise, and Zhang Chaozong's performance was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.
"Very good, very good, what's your name?" It turns out that Ju Mang didn't pay attention to Zhang Chaozong's self-introduction at all, and he didn't know his name yet.
"My younger generation Zhang Chaozong." Zhang Chaozong whispered a few words in his heart, and answered respectfully.
"Zhang Chaozong, good name, you passed it and stand behind me." Ju Mang said with a smile on his face.
"Yes." Zhang Chaozong agreed and stood next to Niu Zhen.
The selection continued, and there were not many monks left, and they were eliminated one by one. Just when Zhang Chaozong thought that the last few were about to be eliminated, he unexpectedly encountered a female monk named Su Ying, who actually caught Jumang's punch and successfully passed the selection. In this way, nearly a hundred monks, only Zhang Chaozong, Niu Zhen, Bai Zhuang and Su Ying, who finally passed the selection.
Jumang asked the others to disperse and led Zhang Chaozong and others into a secret room.
"Do you know what your clan needs to do this time?" Ju Mang sat upright on a stone chair, while Zhang Chaozong and others stood in front of him.
"I don't know." Niu Zhen shook his head like a rattle.
"I don't expect you to know either." Jumang said leisurely.
Zhang Chaozong, Niu Zhen, Bai Zhuang, and Su Ying all pricked up their ears when they saw his expression, wanting to hear what they were going to do.
"Actually, I don't know what you want to do. My mission is to send you into Dark Gold Mountain. After entering the mountain, someone will naturally tell you what you want to do." Ju Mang said without blushing at all.
"You don't know either?" Niu Zhen was straight, and when he heard this, his eyes widened.
Zhang Chaozong's face was solemn, and he kept muttering that Ju Mang was so thick-skinned that he felt that this old boy was just a minion and didn't understand the inside story. But then he thought about it, Ju Mang was a grand cultivator in the Kyrgyz stage, and he didn't even know the inside story. It was obvious that this matter was very confidential, so Zhang Chaozong couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
....................
Dark Gold Mountain is majestic and penetrates into the sky. The soil on the mountain is dark golden because it contains a large amount of metal substances. When the sun shines, the golden light shines. From a distance, Dark Gold Mountain is like a golden mountain, bringing people an endless sense of mystery.
The moment Zhang Chaozong flew into the Dark Golden Mountain, his body suddenly became heavy and he fell from the air. Niu Zhen, Bai Zhuang and Su Ying also encountered this situation. Fortunately, the four of them were very capable. They rolled in the air for a few times and landed steadily on the ground. If a cultivator who was not capable suddenly encountered this situation, he might just fall and eat shit.
Jumang fell from the air without any haste and said seriously: "Dark Jinshan has set up a ban on air, and we need to walk up the mountain."
When Zhang Chaozong heard this, the four of them really wanted to go up and beat Jumang up. Since the Dark Gold Mountain was set up with a ban on air, you wouldn't say it earlier, and you would have to suffer a loss before you could explain the reason. This was too harmful. However, although I was angry, no one dared to accuse Jumang, who would make me a dignified cultivator in the Jindan stage?
"There is still a long way to go before, so it's important for us to hurry up as soon as possible." Jumang teased Zhang Chaozong and others and felt it was very pleasant. He led the way to the top of the mountain first, and Zhang Chaozong and others followed behind depressedly.
As soon as he entered the Dark Gold Mountain range, Zhang Chaozong found that his steps had become heavier. Since he was practicing immortality, Zhang Chaozong has always felt as light as a swallow and his steps were light and agile. This feeling of heavy steps had not been felt for a long time.
Niu Zhen, Bai Zhuang and Su Ying obviously encountered the same problem as Zhang Chaozong, and their faces were confused. Only Ju Mang, who was walking in the front, seemed to be unaffected at all, and still walked in front as fast as flying.
At the beginning, Zhang Chaozong and the other four could still keep up with Ju Mang's footsteps, but slowly, the four of them fell behind, because the closer they got to the top of the mountain, the heavier they were, as if there was a huge magnet under the ground, attracting their feet. After leaving in just one cup of tea, the sweat beads on the foreheads of Zhang Chaozong and the other four came out, and they fell down like soybeans.
"Look at you four bears, you have only walked a few steps, so you can't stand it anymore? Let's go quickly." Ju Mang saw that the four of them were far behind and shouted loudly in front of him.
When Zhang Chaozong heard Ju Mang's scolding, he could only grit his teeth and continue moving forward. Walking under such high-intensity pressure, the gap between the people appeared. Zhang Chaozong walked in the front, followed by the female monk Su Ying, and Bai Zhuang was further behind. Seeing the strongest Niu Zhen landed at the end.
Zhang Chaozong looked back at Su Ying and found that Su Ying was only a few steps away from him. He couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that this woman was so powerful.
Ju Mang stood in the distance, watching coldly, and generally had a certain understanding of the strength gap between the few people. In fact, this mountain climbing process was also a test for Zhang Chaozong and the four of them. The Dark Gold Mountain contained huge magnetic force. The closer it was to the top of the mountain, the greater the magnetic force. If a monk wanted to reach the top of the mountain, he must have strong strength. If Zhang Chaozong and others could not even pass the mountain climb, there was no need to go to the top of the mountain.
This mountain road may be the most difficult part of Zhang Chaozong's life. He persisted for another half an hour, but he felt exhausted and his muscles and bones hurt. He could no longer bear it. He sat on the ground. Looking at Su Ying, Bai Zhuang and Niu Zhen, he was not as good as Zhang Chaozong. He had already sat on the ground to rest.
Ju Mang stood more than ten meters away from Zhang Chaozong. Seeing that Zhang Chaozong and others could walk nearly one-third of them in one breath, he couldn't help but nod in his heart. In this way, all four of them should be able to reach the top of the mountain.
After resting for a while, Zhang Chaozong stood up and continued to move forward. Su Ying, Bai Zhuang and Niu Zhen saw him get up, gritted their teeth and stood up, and carried their heavy steps on the mountain road. When everyone came to the middle of the mountain, it was already the next afternoon. When they walked here, the four of them almost exhausted their physical strength. Even though the spiritual power in their bodies was still consumed, not much left.
This time, Ju Mang didn't say a word, but just sat aside and closed his eyes to rest. Zhang Chaozong sat cross-legged on the ground and recovered his lost physical and spiritual power. He had already vaguely felt it. This was also a test.
After resting for a night, everyone continued to rush forward in the morning of the next morning. At halfway up the mountain, Jumang could not walk as fast as he could, but it could be seen that he was still walking very easily, unlike Zhang Chaozong and others, every step he took was a lot of effort.
After half a month, Zhang Chaozong and the other four finally reached the peak. Ju Mang was still very satisfied with the performance of the four, but he never said the satisfied words.
"Follow me." Jumang greeted and led the way.
It was strange that when we arrived at the top of the mountain, Zhang Chaozong and others felt that their bodies became lighter and they no longer had the strong sense of restraint when walking on the mountain road. No one could understand such a strange change.
The four of them followed behind Jumang, observing the surrounding environment while walking. The top of Dark Jinshan Mountain was covered with clouds and mist, as if it was a fairyland. Looking around, you can see that there were occasional spiritual lights in the clouds and mists, which were particularly mysterious. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, everyone came to the front of a majestic palace.
This palace was like the heavenly palace, with auspicious light and extraordinary momentum. When he arrived here, Jumang, who was originally very casual, suddenly became restrained and stood carefully at the door of the palace, inspiring a messaging talisman. Zhang Chaozong saw that Jumang was so careful and knew that the people living here must be extraordinary, so he stood respectfully with his hands down.
Shortly after the messaging talisman was activated, the palace gate opened. Jumang became even more careful, and Zhang Chaozong and others didn't even dare to breathe. Then they saw a little Taoist boy walking out of the palace. This guy was not big and had a very stylish appearance. He held his head up and walked to Jumang in all directions.
"Elder Jumang, have you brought me?" The little Taoist boy had clearly seen Zhang Chaozong and others, but he still asked on purpose.
"Fairy boy, the person has been brought here. Please report to the clan leader." Ju Mang said with a smile.
"Well, the clan leader asked you to go back first, just leave it to me." The little Taoist boy said with his hands behind his back.
"Then it's a blessing for the fairy boy." Ju Mang bowed to the little Taoist boy and turned around and left.
Zhang Chaozong thought to himself that everyone said that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's sect was the same in this world of immortal cultivation. A little Taoist boy who served in front of the barbarian patriarch dared not take Jumang, the dignified elder. If this were an ordinary little Taoist boy, Jumang would have been unable to get up long ago, so how could he dare to show off in front of him?
"You guys remember it. When you meet the clan leader later, you should be more respectful. Do you understand?" The little Taoist boy did not forget to give Zhang Chaozong and others a few words.
Zhang Chaozong and others naturally agreed, since even Jumang was smiling, they naturally did not dare to offend the Taoist boy.
"Well, come with me." The little Taoist boy was very satisfied with the good attitude of Zhang Chaozong and others, and took the lead.
