Long stone steps were built on the high platform of the boulder.
Step after step, at a glance, there is no end in sight.
It's so high. How many steps have been built?
"Nine hundred and ninety-nine." Jiang Ningxuan said.
Everyone looked over with surprise in their eyes.
Jiang Ningxuan looked at the Qing tribe member who had just spoken, and said again, "There are nine hundred and ninety-nine steps in total."
The Qing clan member did not expect that Jiang Ningxuan would really answer his question, and he was so excited that he didn't know how to react.
Jiang Ningxuan didn't mean to wait for his answer, turned around and walked up.
Tick tock, tick tock...
Sweat began to appear on his forehead. As time passed, the sweat flowed down his cheeks and fell on the steps at his feet.
"Huhu!" The breathing of everyone walking became heavier.
My whole body felt tired. Every step I took or when I lifted my feet felt very heavy, and I had to use up most of my strength to walk.
Jiang Ningxuan looked at Xiaomu with concerned eyes: "How are you? Can you still leave?"
Xiaomu gritted his teeth and insisted: "Sister, I can do it."
Xiaomu felt very tired, but he felt that he could persist.
Jiang Ningxuan thought about it for a moment and did not force it. She just said, "If you can't walk anymore, just tell me, but try to insist on walking on your own. This road will be good for you."
Little Wood nodded.
Looking from below, it can be seen that the instructions of the group of people on the steps above are obvious.
Several elders of the Qing tribe walked in the front, with Xiao Mu in the middle. Jiang Ningxuan and Lou Yunzhou walked behind Xiao Mu, but these two fell behind.
If you look carefully, you can see that the Qing people are walking very slowly, with huge pressure on each step. Although it is not like Xiaomu, the sweat on his face is flowing to the ground like rain, but his breathing has become heavier and his face is pale.
redness.
Jiang Ningxuan and Lou Yunzhou were walking behind. They were still breathing calmly and were strolling leisurely without being stopped by pressure at all.
Lou Yunzhou asked: "Is this a formation?"
Jiang Ningxuan said: "It should be."
There is an effect similar to a heavy weight drop on the steps. Everyone has to bear a lot of pressure every time they take a step.
Jiang Ningxuan said: "Such pressure can stimulate people's potential." The people who built this place must have thought that someone would come in, so they set up such a test method.
Yes, Jiang Ningxuan felt that this method of obstruction was more like a test for the intruders to see their qualifications and potential.
Jiang Ningxuan felt that the person who came up with this idea was very smart.
Lou Yunzhou said: "Xuanmen means."
Nowadays, some Taoist sects will also set various tests when recruiting disciples, but this method of simply testing physical strength and perseverance can be used for reference.
Lou Yunzhou thought that after he went out, he should write a letter to his master and tell his thoughts.
Jiang Ningxuan said: "It is not only a test of physical strength and perseverance, but also a test of character."
Ask your heart!
Lou Yunzhou nodded in approval.
The Qing people in front walked slower and slower, almost unable to walk. Little did they know that not far behind them, there were still people discussing seriously and thinking that this test method was good.
Fortunately, a few people didn't know, otherwise they would have vomited three liters of blood.
"Hmph, hum!" Xiaomu walked even slower, using up all his strength with every step. He felt like he was out of breath. Every time he breathed, his heart felt so hot and burning.
pain.
It hurt so much that he couldn't hold on any longer.
A hand fell on Xiaomu's body, and he felt that the pressure on his body was relieved instantly.
Xiaomu blinked his eyes, blinking away the water droplets from his eyes, and his hazy eyes became clear: "Sister Fairy, Xiaomu can't walk anymore."
He is really dying.
Jiang Ningxuan's voice rang in Xiaomu's ears. It sounded vague, and it was so tired that my brain was numb. It took a long time to understand the meaning of Jiang Ningxuan's words: "Xiaomu is very powerful. He insists on walking all by himself."
Far."
They have walked more than half of the steps, and now they are standing on the six hundredth step.
Several elders of the Qing tribe were standing on the 610th floor. The great elder was slightly better than the others. He was walking on the 20th floor. Everyone looked at the hundreds of floors above and thought of the hardships along the way.
, I really can’t move even one step.
Jiang Ningxuan's hand seemed to be casually placed on Xiao Mu's body, and he felt that his body became lighter, and the pressure that weighed as much as ten thousand kilograms seemed to be leaving him little by little.
"Sister Fairy?" Xiao Mumu lowered his voice as he spoke, with doubts in his eyes.
Jiang Ningxuan shook her head slightly.
Xiaomu stopped talking and was too sensible not to ask.
Jiang Ningxuan felt that this kid was really good. What was rare was his transparency at such a young age. If possible, it would be a good idea to give him a chance.
"Let's go, sister will accompany you." Jiang Ningxuan said softly, taking a step forward slightly and standing on the same steps as Xiaomu.
There was still pressure, but within the range he could bear, Xiaomu felt that he could continue walking.
Lou Yunzhou was a step behind, following Jiang Ningxuan and Xiao Mu.
The elders of the Qing tribe walked very slowly, their brains became dull, and the sounds around them became blurry in their minds.
Footsteps sounded behind them, and it wasn't until Jiang Ningxuan and Xiao Mumu passed by them that they realized belatedly that Xiao Mumu was actually walking in front of them.
"Xiao Mu Mu... are you okay?" The elder of the Qing tribe asked breathlessly. Even the martial arts masters like them couldn't use their strength, but this kid Xiao Mu Mu could still walk. This place is very weird, he can't
What harm will it do to Xiaomu's body?
The elder of the Qing tribe looked at Xiaomu with eyes full of concern, which was genuine concern from the bottom of his heart.
If Xiaomu is like this, he will be fine.
The Qing Clan's elder's eyes fell on Xiaomu's rosy face. Seeing that his eyes were clear and his spirit was really good, he followed his cheek and looked at the hand that fell on his shoulder.
Jiang Ningxuan seemed to be unable to walk, so she casually put her hand on Xiaomu's shoulder, slightly supporting herself with his shoulder.
The Qing Clan's great elder's eyes fell on that hand, his pupils shrank, and horror flashed across his eyes.
Jiang Ning turned her head and smiled slightly at the elder of the Qing clan.
The great elder of the Qing clan shook his body and fell to the ground on the spot. After such a fall, he could no longer gather the strength in his body, and he lay on the ground unable to move for a long time.
"Grandpa Elder." Xiaomu shouted, turning around and going towards the great elder of the Qing clan. As soon as he moved, he was stopped by a hand and couldn't move at all.
"Little Mumu, be obedient. You can only go forward on this road, you can't look back." Jiang Ningxuan's admonishing voice sounded and stopped Xiaomu.
