As they went up, Huwa and others passed more and more climbers. The slope of this climbing path was almost constant. Unless they retreated to the trails on both sides, there was no place to rest. Keep climbing up. This is already a plateau, and it becomes difficult to even breathe as you go up.
Huwa and Panhu didn't think it was anything, but Hanxiong and others gradually felt a little tired despite their magical abilities. Two people in the team had no intention of climbing to the top within the specified time. I just wanted to experience it, so I took the initiative to go to the side to rest, planning to take a breath before continuing to climb.
Huwa asked Hanxiong: "You are sweating, do you need to take a rest?"
Hanxiong shook his head and said: "I heard that more or less ordinary people without supernatural powers succeed in climbing to the top every year. Not only are they naturally strong in body, but they are also mentally tough and tenacious. After reaching the top, most of them are exhausted, but they are always exhausted on the way. There is no stopping. As long as you stop and take a breath, the energy will loosen."
Xiao Sa also gasped slightly and said: "Every year, many monks set foot on the Sky Trail, and half of them are unable to reach the summit before noon. It's not because they can't do it, but because they only intend to join in the fun and don't want to Being so tired and exhausted is a taboo for monks, and they are not willing to be exhausted just to watch a show."
Hanxiong said with great concern: "Miss Xiaosa, please don't talk too much. Talking is very tiring when climbing on the plateau. I see you are breathing heavily, how about I help you?"
Xiaosa: "Help me, aren't you breathing too?"
Hanxiong wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "I am strong and my body is strong."
Xiao Sa: "This is not a fight with others. Climbing such a high mountain will be more difficult the stronger you get."
At this time, Huwa reminded: "Mixing the divine energy to move naturally, and harmonizing the breath during each step, is also a kind of practice."
Miss Xiao Sa's cultivation level is higher than that of Han Xiong, but magic power and physical strength are two different things. It depends not only on the natural physique, but also on the foundation of cultivation in the second realm. Moreover, mountain climbing is not a battle with anyone, unless the cultivation level breaks through the fifth realm. After mastering the art of shape control, otherwise traveling long distances still depends on physical strength and endurance. Before reaching the top of the mountain, Xiao Sa finally let Han Xiong help him walk away.
Huwa passed many people along the way. He also saw many people climbing slowly and slowly, showing extraordinary physical strength and endurance. Sensing the fluctuations in their energy, most of them actually practiced Some of them have already practiced Wu Ding Gong.
As Huwa walked on the Sky Path, he suddenly understood the intention of General Wufu back then - why were there such rules left on Wufu Hill?
This path to the sky was not prepared for monks like Han Xiong, but was reserved for all warriors in Ba Yuan who have practiced Kaishan Jin. As far as Huwa knows, few people can escape the daily training in the military camp. In such an environment, it is even rarer for people to persist in practicing Wu Ding Kung Fu until they have mastered it. As for the monks who have entered the first stage and are able to practice, of course they will not go back to practice the thankless Wu Ding Kung Fu.
However, the Kung Fu of Kaishan Jin was first brought to Ba Yuan by General Wufu, who taught it to his bodyguards. Even Lu Wuding, the ancestor of Lu Village, learned Kaishan Jin from General Wufu. .In other words, in the eyes of General Wufu, all those who practice Kaishan Jin in Ba Yuan are his descendants of Kung Fu. There is no distinction between city level or even race. In the era of General Wufu, of course, Ba Yuan It was not divided into the five countries it is today.
It is certainly difficult for ordinary people to cross the Climbing Trail within the specified time. It is even more difficult to practice Wuding Kung Fu on Wufu Qiu. However, Wufu Qiu does not refuse those who have mastered the mountain climbing skills from Bayuan to climb here every winter solstice.
, those people are the descendants of General Wufu left in the world. If they become the handyman disciples of Wufu Qiu, they will have the hope to step on the long rope and become the official successors in the future.
When Huwa was thinking this, the straight and steep mountain road at his feet had reached the end. Another boulder appeared in front of him. There was a huge long sword stuck on the boulder, which was almost exactly the same as what he saw at the foot of the mountain. There was an open space behind the boulder.
At the other end of the square, you can see a patchwork of houses and buildings in the mountains from a distance.
The end of this road is not the top of the mountain, but a high artificial slope. This is where the disciples of Wufuqiu usually live and live. It is still a while before noon, and people are still climbing to the top.
Success, some people came here and immediately lay down on the ground, almost paralyzed from exhaustion. Those who could still stand and breathe were basically monks like Han Xiong and Xiao Sa, and some had already sat down to regulate their breathing.
There are many Wufuqiu disciples here, not only can it be seen from the color of their clothes, but also each of them carries a long sword on his back. They ignored the monks who were sitting and adjusting their breaths, but stepped forward to help those who were limp on the ground.
First, feed them a small sip of hot water and let each person take a pill. This is an elixir to restore physical strength and soothe qi and blood, otherwise their bodies will have problems.
By noon, more than a hundred people had successfully climbed to the top. Huwa took a quick look and found that more than eighty of them were monks from all over Bayuan who came to watch the fun. As for the ordinary people who really wanted to become disciples and succeeded in climbing
There are less than twenty people; among these ten people, more than half have cultivated Kaishan Jin to the level of Wu Ding Gong.
Huwa secretly thought - why are there so many people? Unexpectedly, the two Wufuqiu disciples next to him whispered: "There are a lot of people this year. Elder Xiaosi will be very happy!"
In addition to the sect leader Mr. Jiansha, there are four elders in Wufuqiu who are all masters of the sixth realm or above, each holding a Wufu Divine Sword. The fourth elder is the person who is naturalized and responsible for opening the mountain gate every winter solstice. When he was young, he ranked highest among the brothers.
In the end, everyone called him Xiaosi, but now that he has become an elder, everyone still calls him Xiaosi Elder.
Huwa was looking around, where was the Little Fourth Elder, and what did the martial arts sword he carried look like? Suddenly, there was a melodious sound of gold and iron, like a sword striking and a bell ringing.
Noon has arrived and the Climbing Sky Trail has been closed. Those who are still on the trail should not continue climbing. Please retreat to the side trail and go down the mountain.
Those who were still resting also stood up, and saw that the Wufuqiu disciples carrying long swords had lined up in two rows and saluted in the air. A sword light flew from the bottom of the mountain, fell in front of everyone and transformed into the body of a man.
Shape, a long sword has been put into the scabbard on the back.
It turns out that this inconvenient fourth elder of Wufuqiu, Huwa had seen him when he was at the foot of the mountain, but he was mixed in the crowd but didn't pay much attention to him. At first glance, this man's appearance seemed to be about forty, with curly messy hair and
The beard looks a bit rough. But if you take a closer look, if he has shaved his beard cleanly and his hair is neatly combed, he should be younger and look very delicate.
This little fourth elder may have felt that he looked too young and delicate, which did not fit the image of the elders on Wufu Hill, so he deliberately adopted this more bold look. But no one dared to laugh at him, because the little fourth elder
The Fourth Elder is indeed one of the most accomplished people in the world.
The fourth elder stood in the square without saying much, and then saluted everyone and said: "Thank you all for coming all the way to Dengjing Peak on the winter solstice. This is a favor for me, Wufuqiu! I would like to ask which of you,
Who is willing to stay on Wufu Qiu as a handyman disciple? As for the rules of Wufu Qiu, I don’t need to say more at this moment. As long as you stay, you will know more in detail in the future."
The monks just returned the greeting without saying a word, but the strong men who climbed to the top responded loudly, saying that they came here just to become servant disciples. Elder Xiaosi was surprised and looked at the monks unexpectedly.
Come over, because Huwa and Hanxiong have already emerged from the crowd at the same time, and replied loudly: "I am willing to stay as a handyman disciple!"
Then there was a little flower dog standing next to the tiger baby, also wagging its tail vigorously.
Although many monks from various sects have successfully climbed to the summit over the years, it is just a matter of taking part in the fun. It is rare to see anyone who actually stays as a handyman. There are those who have the ability to climb the mountain within the specified time.
The monks should all have relatively noble status in their respective hometowns. Who would come here to suffer this for no reason? All Wufu Qiu disciples looked at each other.
After all, Elder Xiaosi had seen big events and was a distinguished person. His surprise only flashed past, and then he regained his composure. He walked over and asked Hanxiong, "Who are you? Where are you from? Are you saying what you just said?"
true?"
Hanxiong replied: "I am Hanxiong, a disciple of the Changling Sect of Bashi Kingdom, and I would like to stay on Wufuqiu as a handyman disciple. My father is also the leader of the Changling Sect, and he has no objections."
Elder Xiaosi nodded and said: "Then you can stay as a handyman. If you can't bear it, you can go down the mountain on your own; if you can't do it, you will be sent down the mountain."
Then he asked Huwa the same question, and Huwa claimed to be a casual cultivator from the Northern Wilderness of Xiangshi Kingdom. Elder Xiaosi also nodded and said: "There have been many casual cultivators who have come to Wufu Qiu over the years, and they have already cultivated their magical powers.
After practicing for a period of time, they will go down the mountain and leave on their own. There are very few people who truly become disciples of Wufu Qiu. If you are willing to stay, then give it a try."
Huwa whispered: "Fourth Elder, I also brought a dog with me, can he stay with me? Even if he can just let him watch the door, it's fine!"
Then something more interesting happened. Elder Xiaosi walked up to Panhu and asked seriously: "What is your name?"
Panhu barked twice, and Elder Xiaosi nodded with satisfaction and said: "Woof, wow, since you came here before noon, if you want to stay, you can also become a handyman disciple of Wufuqiu."
The onlookers almost collapsed. The master on Wufu Hill really kept his word. The handyman disciples not only accepted demons, but also dogs! Panhu also got a name called "Wang Wang" inexplicably. So from now on, everyone on Wufu Hill will be surrounded by miscellaneous people.
If you are a disciple, you have to call him Junior Brother Wangwang.
The fourth elder did things in an orderly manner, and then went to ask other people the same question. Huwa and Hanxiong looked at each other and whispered at the same time: "Why do you stay as a handyman?" Miss Xiao Sa also said behind them.
: "What the hell are you two doing? Why do you both want to stay here as handyman disciples?" (To be continued...)
