Chapter 9 I'm a ruthless man
Yun Luo lay in a mess on the stone steps. It was because he didn't want to stand up, but he was so exhausted.
Her lips were already chapped, her hair was slightly curled, her body was swam away with lightning, and even a smell of meat was emitted.
Compared with the eleven steps that were just like being in the fire hell, the lightning bombardment at this moment cannot cause too much feeling to his numb body.
Level 45, not yet halfway through, it seemed that the oil had run out of energy. Thinking of the long road left, Yun Luo felt a sense of giving up.
He shook his head hard, dispelled this cowardly thought, gathered his eyes again, and a force was generated from nowhere, allowing him to hold up with difficulty, from lying down to kneeling, from kneeling to standing, tremblingly lifted his right foot and stepped out to the 46th level.
The stronger lightning shone clouds in it with his teeth and claws. His extremely lack of water couldn't help but tremble. However, he changed his previous steadyness and ran up with all his strength.
He suddenly jumped up from the 55th level stone steps and crashed into the 56th level stone steps.
At this moment, there were only thirty-one people left on the mountain. Under the four extremely bad tests, most teenagers were helplessly eliminated.
Under the water curtain, the chair was already half empty. Looking at the miserable situation of his own child who was sent to the mountain gate, the elders and parents rushed to accompany him. Fortunately, the Sword Sect gave each young man a pill. According to the disciple, this medicine is taken by mortals to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lifespan. If there are people with roots and bones in their practice, they can assist in their practice.
I heard some parents secretly complaining about the people from the Sword Sect, why didn’t they hand it over to them first and just feed them hastily.
The rest of the people stared at the mountains intently, gradually knowing what these teenagers were experiencing. Many people looked confused, hoping that their children could go higher and farther, but not wanting them to endure such suffering.
Yun Luo did not suffer any suffering at this moment. He lay quietly in his cradle. A thin and elegant uncle gently picked him up, kissed him on the face, and then handed him to the arms of a man. They were saying something, but they couldn't hear a word. They vaguely felt that the smell of this man was a little familiar. While he was wondering, the autumn wind suddenly rose outside, and yellow leaves fell in the wind. A sword light that soared into the sky lit up. His eyes turned black and he lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he was walking with his sword and standing high above the nine heavens. As a great sword immortal with all his own unique swordsmanship, he had gradually found out the truth about his parents' death. The strange dream that troubled him was about to get the answer. The answer was ahead, in the capital of the Daduan Dynasty, in the city of Tianjing.
The flying sword slowly slowed down, and the sound of the wind gradually became smaller. Yun Luo suddenly felt that his chest was slightly hot. He reached out to touch it through his clothes, as if there was something.
He quickly followed the thread on his neck and looked at it. It was a small pendant. Yun Luo reached out to hold it and looked at it carefully. The moment his hand came into contact with the jade pendant, the world suddenly changed.
Yun Luo opened his eyes from the stone steps. Was it the illusion or his own dream just now? Could it be that he was so tired that he fell asleep here?
Everything is different from before. Except for one thing, the jade pendant on my chest is really getting hot.
Yun Luo took it out, looked carefully, and recalled the scene when he got this jade pendant.
I was still very young at that time, and was bullied by the children in the alley. I sat on the ground and cried loudly. Suddenly, a pair of particularly beautiful embroidered shoes appeared in front of me. I sobbed and looked up. A very beautiful aunt was walking to her side with an equally cute sister. She stretched out her gentle hands, gently held her tender face, and asked, "Whose little guy is this? Why did you make yourself a little cat?"
When I heard this, I was poked in my heart for some reason. Tears that had already stopped suddenly gushed out. I hugged the beautiful aunt's feet and burst into tears.
The clean floral long skirt was covered in black and gray. The beautiful aunt didn't mind. She saw that she was crying hard and had nothing to coax her. So she took off a pendant on her neck and swayed in front of her, "Look here, look here."
My eyes were indeed attracted by the small pendant. As the pendant shook, I reached out to grab it in my hand in a daze.
The beautiful aunt asked, "Like it?"
He nodded suddenly, holding the small pendant tightly,
The beautiful aunt hesitated for a moment, then simply put the pendant on her neck, patted her hands, showing a gentle smile, "I'm giving it to you!" Then she asked, "Where is your home, where are your parents at home? I'll send you back."
His eyes darkened, he pointed to his small broken house, lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "I don't have parents, I am an orphan."
A mist immediately spread in the beautiful aunt's eyes. She turned to the little girl beside her and said, "Suihe, can we invite the eldest brother to our house for dinner?"
From then on, orphans will not be alone.
Above the stone steps, clouds burst into tears.
He reached out to wipe his tears, turned around and looked at the stone steps above, and covered the pendant tightly on his chest and walked up.
In the pavilion, the water from the teapot has been continued many times.
Jiang Yan quietly looked at the various postures of the young men on the water curtain and said softly: "There is also a illusion, and I really have a reputation for asking Jianshan."
Chen Qingfeng sighed: "The ancient treasures are indeed beyond our imagination."
"It's not one per level, right?"
"Haha, then this test may not be completed in ten days and half a month. The eleventh level in the middle can actually be regarded as a test. The thoughts and desires hidden in the state of mind cannot escape under this illusion, which will lead people to obsession. At the same time, all kinds of mental disasters in the past life will be obstructed. If you feel regretful or fearful, you will not be able to wake up on your own initiative." Chen Qingfeng stared at Yun Luo's figure, "It turns out that he is worthy of being the person he likes by the Prime Minister and Lord Jiang, and his mood is clear."
Jiang Yan picked up the teacup, took a sip, but did not answer.
On a mountain bun opposite the huge curtain at the foot of the mountain, three old men quietly appeared. One of them sighed and said, "Old Mo, you are too impatient and attacked without being prepared. As a result, the sect leader was speechless, which made him successfully occupy the righteousness."
The old Mo he mentioned was the red-faced old man who questioned Chen Qingfeng in the Sword Sect Ancestor Hall.
Elder Mo said helplessly: "I didn't expect him to suddenly ask Jianshan. The situation is urgent and we can't discuss it."
Another old man said, "Okay, Deputy Sect Master Bai and Elder Mo, things have come to this point, let's think about what to do first."
It turned out that the old man was Bai Qingyue, the deputy leader of the Sword Sect of Shushan. As the leader of the Sword Sect advocated peace with the court, he had his own plan in his heart.
He thought for a while and said, "Since this test has begun, we must recruit as many geniuses as possible to our side. In this way, our voice will naturally become greater and greater."
Elder Mo and another old man nodded repeatedly, their eyes turned to the huge water curtain opposite, and asked, "Is there anyone who has chosen Deputy Master Bai?"
Bai Qingyue nodded, "The two Lu family and Cui family must have fought for, and there are also these." After saying that, they pointed out to the two on the water curtain one by one, "We can make arrangements first and try to get these people to our top."
Elder Mo pointed to a figure and asked, "This young man was the first to awaken from the illusion. Can't he do it?"
Wherever your fingertips are, the clouds fall.
Bai Qingyue glanced at it, "I have asked someone to inquire about an orphan in Jincheng. He and his friend's mud legs, with a weather-beaten body, can withstand the previous test. Waking up quickly in this illusion also means lack of experience. The next level thirty is the pride of heaven, and he has no life."
"Think about how to contact the Cui family and strive for it. It will be too late after the Cui family won the first place." After that, he patted Elder Mo on the shoulder, "Look at the long term, don't just look at the front of you."
On the hills, teenagers slowly woke up.
Pei Zhen opened his eyes, looked strange, turned around and walked upwards, muttering as he walked: "Damn, can't I afford to mess with you, but I can't hide? Let's fight in the nest of three young men who like to plot!"
Cui Zhi also woke up slowly. At some point, she had already changed to a sitting position, with a domineering posture, as if she was domineering the world. She quickly stood up, blushed for the first time, and looked at the steps above with some timidity. Could it be another illusion?
When Lu Qi woke up, he was lying on the stone steps, naturally hanging his hands and supporting his head with the other hand. He looked like a beautiful woman was lying drunk and had a very good manners. He was still a little impressed about the experience of rafting around the sea just now, but seeing the sky is high and the clouds are wide, sand gulls are flying, and Jinlin swimming is still unsatisfied, but the competition has to continue. He patted his face and took a tentative step upwards.
In this way, the teenagers gradually woke up. Those who did not wake up were judged to end their dreams in a beautiful dream for an hour. It was not cruel or lucky.
Yun Luo stood on the 66th step, his eyes hesitated. The steps after he had just left the illusion, so he walked here like an ordinary mountain climbing.
He didn't believe that this test that tortured him to death would be so terrible. What was waiting for the back would be a more painful and difficult climb, so he had to be prepared.
He gently raised his right foot and gently stepped on the 67th-level stone steps.
His brows suddenly tightened, and his face turned pale as snow in an instant. An indescribable severe pain hit his mind along his right foot stepping on the stone steps!
He finally understood why it was difficult to reach the top of Jianshan. However, with a light touch, he almost felt pain. Moreover, it was not a physical pain, but like there were millions of needles piercing the soul.
He gritted his teeth and suddenly exerted force, pulling his left leg behind him up and stepping on the steps.
Another severe pain, Yun Luo's legs became weak and he fell to his knees on the steps.
Seeing Yun Luo’s appearance, Bai Qingyue on the mountain bag shook his head and said contemptuously: “Milk legs are mud legs, this is not your stage.”
Under the water curtain, a buzzing sound suddenly started, and the remaining people were talking whispering, with regret and mockery in their tone. Wen Wei shook his head helplessly, probably it was really hard to sustain.
On the pavilion, Chen Qingfeng frowned and shook his head slightly. The attack from his mind, especially on the No. 81st Step, was too difficult for this young man. Without the nourishment of his soul and physical strength since childhood, he might not be able to even get out of the second step after taking this step.
With such shaking of his head and mocking, Yun Luo moved. He supported the ground with both hands, slowly stood up, and took a small step towards the top with difficulty.
Then we took the third step, the fourth step, and the fifth step.
Jiang Yan slapped his palm and sighed, "What a cruel person!"
