Chapter 170: Up the Knife Mountain
Noon, Uncle Eden's house. Lunch.
"Mu Xuan, are you born in a martial arts family, right?" Uncle Eden had a look of awe on his face.
"Well... yes, my grandfather is a qigong master." Mu Xuan smiled awkwardly. He always felt that Uncle Eden's expression was a little strange.
"Mu Xuan, tell the truth, isn't Shana pretty?" Uncle Eden asked with a smile.
Shana's face suddenly turned red. She understood what her father was thinking. So she quickly scolded: "Abba, what are you doing?"
"Hey, Shanna, where did that bouquet of flowers in your room come from?"
"It...I..." Shana's face turned red and she couldn't say a word.
"Ahem, Uncle Eden, it's from me." Mu Xuan smiled, then picked up the rice without caring.
"Mu Xuan, do you know what sending flowers here means?" Uncle Eden touched his chin and looked at Mu Xuan with squinted eyes. "Hey, Mu Xuan, sending flowers is a matter between a man and a woman.
Yo! Sending flowers means consensual consent."
"Uh!" Mu Xuan quickly turned to look at Shana. "Shana, why don't you tell me your custom? Look, my uncle has misunderstood it."
"I...I..." Shana didn't know what to say, so she blushed and hid in her room.
"Mu Xuan, I wonder if you can tell? Shana likes you." Uncle Eden stood up and patted Mu Xuan on the shoulder. "Oh, what Ai Xuan? You might as well marry my Shana.
Woolen cloth."
Uncle Eden looked at Mu Xuan with a smile as he looked at his son-in-law, stroking his beard. "Muxuan, don't go to the afternoon test. A man here can only marry one wife. If you give up that Ai Xuan,
You can marry Shana."
Shana hid in her room, blushing and pressing her ears tightly against the crack of the door, listening to the conversation between her father and Mu Xuan.
"Uncle, to tell you the truth, I actually know Ai Xuan. She is my girlfriend. She ran away because of some things. I came to Miao Village just to bring her back." Mu Xuan smiled bitterly, then shook his head.
"Shana is a very good girl. I'm afraid there is no man in the village who doesn't want to marry her. I think she can find a better husband."
Shana's whole body suddenly trembled, and her whole body collapsed against the door.
"Mu Xuan, if Ai Xuan escapes, it means that she is not sincere to you, and you should give up on her." Uncle Eden obviously did not expect this, and frowned slightly.
"No. It's not that she's not sincere, it's my fault that she ran away."
"Then...you mean you can't marry Shana. That's really a pity, but it doesn't matter." Uncle Eden smiled.
"Well, there will be the third test soon. I'm going." Mu Xuan stood up, then walked out of the house and walked to the mountain temple.
The number of people in front of the mountain temple gradually increased, and Mu Xuan and other fifty young people who had passed the two tests walked onto the square.
Mu Xuan turned his head and looked under the big camphor tree. Shana was standing under the tree, looking at him shyly and disappointedly.
Mu Xuan smiled slightly at Shana, and this smile contained Mu Xuan's entire apology to her.
Shana's eyes were red and she lowered her head without looking at Mu Xuan.
"Only five people can pass the third test." The old man smiled and walked over, then opened a folded rice paper.
"The third test, go up to the Mountain of Swords." The old man raised his eyebrows slightly. Then he shouted to a group of guys in the distance: "Bring the Mountain of Swords over quickly."
Uh, Mu Xuan was shocked immediately, Shenma? Go to Daoshan? What does Shenma mean?
Bring the knife mountain over here? Can the knife mountain still be lifted?
A dozen young men who had just been eliminated carried a tree stump about twenty meters long and climbed up beside it. There were more than 10 steel knives inserted on the left and right sides.
Let me go, are we going to be asked to climb this? Mu Xuan had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Damn it, how can human skin withstand the oppression of a knife? This might be fatal.
A dozen people carried the tree stump to the middle of the square, then dug a hole about one meter deep in the square, raised the tree stump upright and inserted it.
The old man stepped forward and pushed the tree stump hard. When he saw that it was not moving at all, he nodded.
Tuvasi's eyes flashed with joy. Going up to Daoshan is a unique custom of the Miao village. Haha, I don't believe that Mu Xuan, an outsider from the village, can go up to it.
"Everyone has only one chance to climb the Knife Mountain with bare feet. Only the five highest climbers can pass this test." The old man explained.
Let me choke, Mu Xuan is even more speechless, you are barefoot? Isn't this courting death? It doesn't matter that I am a cultivator, but what can these ordinary people do?
But soon, Mu Xuan discovered that he was worrying too much.
A young man slowly climbed up several steps, finally stopped five meters away, gasped and climbed down again.
Let me go, are the soles of this man's feet made of steel plates? Mu Xuan opened his eyes wide.
Tuvasi looked at Mu Xuan's surprised expression, and a trace of contempt flashed across his face. Haha, I was able to climb to the top of Dao Mountain at the age of ten. I guarantee that I can pass this level. But you, an outsider, I
I want to see if you have the ability to climb the mountain of swords.
At this time, Mu Xuan saw Uncle Eden standing by the square waving to him. So he immediately walked towards Uncle Eden.
"Muxuan, you are an outsider from the village and you probably have no experience in going to Daoshan. If it doesn't work, just give up. My Shana will marry you."
Although Uncle Eden's voice was silent, Tuisi and the people around him who were standing in the square heard it clearly. The crowd suddenly exploded.
Shana's face turned red, her head lowered and she leaned under the camphor tree.
"Shana can't marry this bastard." Tuvasi gritted his teeth and looked at Mu Xuan standing outside the square, his mouth squirming slightly.
Mu Xuan shook his head and smiled slightly. "Haha, Uncle Eden, let's not talk about this for now. Please explain to me why the soles of their feet will not be scratched."
Shana's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of disappointment.
Shana is 18 years old this year. She has never had any affection for the men in the village, let alone any admiration. She never understood what it felt like to love someone before, but now, she feels it.
The feeling of loving someone is shy, but the feeling of not being loved by him is also bitter. Shana smiled bitterly.
Uncle Eden also smiled helplessly. "Mu Xuan, the principle of going up Daoshan is actually one word. Steady! The force used on the hands is greater than the force used on the feet. It's that simple, but... I advise you not to go.
, People here have been farming all year round, and their feet have thick calluses, but for people like you who are accustomed to wearing shoes, the soles of your feet are like tofu, and they will be cut open by the blade with the slightest force."
