Chapter 74 Sharp stones, clouds, and strange candidates

Washan.

Several weird peaks are located among the hills. The peaks are straight and cut, and from a distance they look like black tiles on the eaves.

The world-famous Lanke Temple is taking root in this secluded mountain.

"Master Qishan, I leave this matter to you." Li slowly saluted to the gray-haired old monk on the futon.

"There is no need to call me master so politely. I have also learned from Master, so just call me senior brother."

"Since this matter is entrusted by Master, Naqishan will definitely do his best."

Li slowly nodded when he heard the words and disappeared from the spot without stopping.

Master Qishan looked silently at Yunshan outside the temple, with a simple chessboard placed between his knees.

"Son of Hades..."

The second floor of the back mountain.

Han Ye stood on a hillside with grass reaching his knees. A dark-skinned girl was standing in the blue waves, looking at him with an indifferent expression.

"You look a lot like the person you were thousands of years ago."

"Gambler is the right name for you." The cold words came from Sangsang's mouth, and the temperature around him dropped a lot.

"That's it, then we've agreed." Han Ye stretched out his hand to make a fist and raised his little finger in front of Sangsang's face.

"I hope you won't regret it then." Sangsang raised her white hand, bent her little finger and hooked it with Han Ye's.

The sky was clear and sunny, and Sangsang's expression seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Hey, Brother Han, why are you here? No, why am I here?" Sangsang looked confused at the moment he let go, unable to remember what happened just now.

She has often lost her memory like this recently.

"Oh, forget it, the young master said that this is a sequelae after my disease is cured, and I will have to recover for a while before I can fully recover!"

Han Ye nodded slightly, and Sangsang followed Han Ye's gaze and looked down the mountain.

"Master, have you started climbing?"

After Huang He said that the exam would begin, no one in the audience dared to move.

The slightly cold spring breeze blew by in the morning, making the extremely tense atmosphere a little awkward.

Ye Hongyu snorted disdainfully in the crowd, and a piercing sword sound sounded. Everyone in front got out of the way in fear.

A red shadow passed over everyone, serving as the opening arrow of this mountain climbing, stepping into the fog.

"Who is that person?" Li Peiyan asked with admiration in his eyes.

"Reporting to the prince, this is Ye Hongyu, who is known as one of the three idiots in the world." The teacher on the side replied in a low voice.

Li Peiyan sighed a little when he heard this. Even the most famous practitioners in the world could come to take this second-floor exam. It was indeed different from the past.

Back then, only academy students were allowed to apply for admission on the second floor. It wasn't until Mr. Twelve was admitted that the academy started recruiting students from all over the world and welcomed all challengers, regardless of nationality or school.

It's just that the number of candidates this year is very small. In previous years, no matter it is a remote mountainous area like Dahe in the Southern Jin Dynasty or Yuelun Kingdom, one or two disciples can be sent all the way here just to try their luck.

After all, Master, he is a well-educated man. If he can obtain his true teachings, his future will be limitless.

With Ye Hongyu taking the lead, all the candidates began to walk towards the mist that spread out from the foot of the mountain.

Li Yu watched in astonishment as the little boy followed the others into the mountains.

"Why did that bitch's child also go to the second floor?" Li Yu's heart was full of confusion. She glanced at Li Hunyuan, who was teasing the maid next to her, and closed her eyes in disgust.

Ning Que was walking on the mountain road with Chao Xiaoshu, and the mist gradually became thicker.

"Ning Que, it seems that I had an adventure when I went to Xiling this time. My cultivation level has reached the upper realm of Dongxuan. Have you met any rich woman?" Chao Xiaoshu put his arm around Ning Que's shoulders and asked with a smile.

"I was joking to my eldest brother. Only when I went to Xiling did I truly understand that Sangsang is the most important person in my life. She is my life."

"Oh? Then I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine, haha!" As soon as Chao Xiaoshu finished speaking, he felt a slight tingling sensation under his feet.

He looked down and saw that the originally damp mountain road had turned into a sea of ​​sharp rocks.

The mountain fog also instantly obscured the view up the mountain.

"Some kind of formation that tests perseverance?"

Chao Xiaoshu looked at Ning Que and saw blood oozing from the soles of his feet and veins popping out on his forehead.

"Ning Que, are you okay?"

"It's okay. This pain is much better than when I killed horse thieves in Weicheng." Ning Que gritted his teeth and forced a smile on his lips.

"That's good, this is a two-story mountain climbing, and I can't carry you blatantly, haha." Chao Xiaoshu slowed down and followed Ning Que's rhythm up the mountain.

The mountains suddenly resounded with the wails of countless candidates.

Lin Ling walked on the sharp stone road, the runes on the soles of his feet flowed, and the stones where he stepped turned into powder.

Xie Chengyun, Zhong Dajun, Jin Wucai, and Situ Yilan supported each other and carefully followed Lin Ling's route.

"If this sharp stone formation is said to be a formation, it is better to say it is an illusion formation."

"The pain of flesh and blood and the pressure of confusion will leave only those with a firm mind. Of course, at the same time, people with low cultivation levels will also be screened out."

The needle and thread in Muyu's hand flowed, and a picture of Cangshan Mountain and sea of ​​clouds appeared on the handkerchief.

Xiao Liuzi crawled among the sharp rocks with his hands and feet covered in cold sweat. There was a ray of light in his eyes that only he could see, guiding the way forward.

A red figure walked out of the mist, and Ye Hongyu was the first to reach the flat ground on the mountainside.

Following closely was Long Qing, who looked a little pale. He stood unnaturally under a tree not far from Ye Hongyu.

"On this mountaineering trip, I don't want to be a disciple of the Master. I just hope that I can pass this exam to meet the Master and ask him to cure Sangsang's cold syndrome."

Ning Que and Chao Xiaoshu stepped out of the fog and arrived on the plain.

Lin Ling walked out of the fog with a cold expression, and four embarrassed figures emerged from behind him.

"There is a thatched hut there, and the sign outside the door says No. 2 Examination Room."

Zhong Dajun stood up with difficulty, pointed to the house not far away and said.

The three people next to him looked happy and hurriedly supported each other and ran towards the hut.

Ye Hongyu looked coldly at the candidates struggling on the rugged mountain road down the mountain and shook his head.

"It's impossible for anyone to come up. This first exam cannot be solved unless it's a mystery. The four of them are really lucky to meet you." Ye Hongyu turned to look at Lin Ling, who was staring at the sky in a daze.

Lin Ling glanced at Ye Hongyu, turned around and walked towards the hut without any reply.

"Is there some kind of talisman that transcends this cloud formation? Interesting." Ye Hongyu glanced at the soles of Lin Ling's feet and was about to walk towards the hut when he felt the mist behind him stir.

A bloody hand stretched out from the clouds.

"Sixth Prince!?" Chao Xiaoshu's pupils narrowed, and he hurried forward to pick up Xiao Liuzi who emerged from the mist, and pulled off his belt to bandage him.

For some reason, after climbing for so long, Chao Xiaoshu didn't realize that this child had blended in among them, and the child even passed the first test.

Ye Hongyu looked at the little boy in front of him in silence for a moment, then turned and entered the hut.

As noon approached, Ning Que saw that he, Chao Xiaoshu, and Xiao Liuzi were the only three people left in the scene, and he hurriedly urged them to enter the hut.

The furnishings in the thatched hut are rudimentary, and the surrounding earthen walls are crumbling as if they were temporarily constructed. The thatch on the roof is blown away by the cold wind from time to time, and dappled sunlight falls into the house.

Ten people sat on stools in the hut and looked at each other.

The table and chairs in front of me were shaking and creaking like children's toys, and they looked like they might fall apart at any moment.

Everyone didn't know what to do for a while.

"So we have to wait here stupidly?" Zhong Dajun muttered softly.

"Of course not."

A male voice sounded outside the house.

Everyone heard the sound and hurriedly looked towards the door.

A young man in luxurious robes walked into the room, holding a stack of test papers in his hands.

"I guess no one will come either."

"Welcome to the second examination room on the second floor of the academy. I am your examiner this time."

"Han Ye."
