Chapter 172 Four Elephant Mountains

On the evening of the first day, many fast-paced young rune sword masters had already reached their first checkpoint.

Looking up from a distance, a strange-shaped mountain is entrenched among the mountains.

Based on the trend of mountains in Kungang, there should be no mountains here, but there are mountains at this time.The mountain has three peaks from low to high, arranged in a line, and there is a cave at the foot of the mountain with a wide open door.

At the entrance of the cave, there are three big characters "Sixiang Mountain"!
"This is the first level, Sixiang Mountain?" Jiang Shenyi looked up from the foot of the mountain.

The level of Sixiang Mountain is simple and straightforward, starting from the foot of the mountain, climbing up along the path of the cave.It is said that the pressure in the cave is extremely strong, and the higher you go, the stronger the pressure will be.And the three mountain peaks are three different pressures, each of which is overwhelming.

Challengers can resist the pressure with their own strength, or they can use magical weapons to resist. Of course, there are more people who resist with magical weapons, because the challengers are all rune sword masters.

Only those who overcome the triple pressure and drill all the way out of the cave on the top of the mountain can successfully pass this level, and can get the gift from Longyuan and the reminder of the questions at the back of the test paper.

"Sixiang Mountain... why is the mountain with three peaks called Sixiang Mountain?" Jiang Shenyi was very puzzled.

"Huh? Ask me?" The little turtle in his pocket poked out.

Jiang Shenyi said: "Do you know?"

The little turtle said: "I don't know. Brother Turtle thinks...whatever it likes to call it. It's called Qijue Mountain, Baxian Mountain, what can you do with it?"

Jiang Shenyi pursed his lips, after two days of getting along, he already knew that this little cub had no brains and little understanding, but a mouse gnawed on the urinal - a mouthful of coquettish words (porcelain).

But there was no one up and down the mountain, and no one else could answer his question.

Suddenly, there was a bang, and a person came out of the cave.

This one came out neither standing nor squatting, but lying down, with his head facing backwards, sliding out of the cave flatly, like a big slide in a cave.There was a lawn at the entrance of the cave, and he slid onto the grass to stop, unhurt except for his disfigured face.

"Ah—" He opened his mouth depressed and wanted to shout, when he suddenly saw someone looking at him from top to bottom, his face turned red immediately, and his voice stopped abruptly.He tried to get up, but he was top-heavy and unable to get up, and finally resigned himself to lying on the ground.

Seeing his situation, Jiang Shenyi remained motionless, and stretched out a hand to pull him up.

The man stood up, and saw Jiang Shenyi's handsome appearance, high spirits, especially his calm expression, without any look of sarcasm, and he didn't think he was embarrassed at all.

Jiang Shenyi said: "It's okay, brother just came out of it?"

That person nodded, and Jiang Shenyi asked again: "How is it going inside? What's going on?"

The man patted his chest and said: "It's too difficult! This Sixiang Mountain was not broken by people. The pressure inside is too great. And one level wins the other. Once you enter, the first level of pressure is called Baihu Jie. Your strength. At that time, your strength and internal strength were all lost, and you were completely weak. You took a step and swayed three times. But this level is easy to pass. After all, our talisman sword masters are supported by talismans and can be blessed with the power of heavy weapons. Resist the pressure and go upstairs is fine."

Jiang Shenyi nodded to be taught. The more he spoke, the more agile he said, "The second level of pressure is the Black Tortoise Tribulation. It's your whole body, your internal organs. At this time, you will feel that your bones are rattling and your blood won't flow. , the viscera were overwhelmed, it was difficult to breathe, and it felt like death to take a step forward. At that time, the heavy magic weapon was useless, and only the magic weapon that strengthened the body could resist, but there were not many such magic weapons. We generally The body protection devices you bring, such as protective walls, are useless at all. Because the pressure is on yourself."

Jiang Shenyi pondered and said: "That is to say, can one's own body be strong enough to resist?"

That person shook his head again and again, and said: "Yes, it is possible. But how can we have such a strong body? We are not rude warriors, we have trained our bodies to be like flesh pillars, invulnerable to weapons and guns. Even if we are stronger than ordinary people, how can we resist such a strong body?" pressure?"

Jiang Shenyi said: "Before practicing Xuan Gong, you should have completed both internal and external training. If you think about it, if your internal strength is perfect and your body is perfect, this test will not be difficult."

That person didn't take it seriously, and thought: "How much time and energy will it take to achieve perfection both internally and externally? What's the point of struggling for so many years? Except for this kind of special moment, how can it be useful in normal times?" It's just that there is no need to argue with outsiders about this, continue Said, "This third calamity is the most powerful, called Suzaku Tribulation. It directly suppresses the spirit. At that time, your mind will be chaotic, your energy will be weak, and you will have no fighting spirit. Let alone climbing, you will be tired even if you move a finger. And our talisman sword masters use Artifacts are also related to the state of mind. When you are in that exhausted state, nothing can trigger it. If you have all kinds of artefacts, they will all become a pile of tatters. Not working."

Jiang Shenyi sized him up and thought: You are quite talented in your speech, you are so vivid, and you describe the level so terrifyingly, is it really not Long Yuan's entrustment?

But I don't know that this person has just suffered a huge setback in Sixiang Mountain and has been seen by others. If he doesn't say that the checkpoint is as difficult as heaven, how can he save face for himself?

That person sighed deeply at the end, and said: "Fortunately, Longyuan didn't kill them all. There are stairs next to the steps. If you want to give up, you just need to turn sideways, and you can slide down and land safely. This level is not for people to pass. I Once you try it once, you know that trying ten times is useless. You don’t need to torture yourself. I plan to bypass this test, brother..."

Seeing Jiang Shenyi's eyes were bright and unwavering, he couldn't help curling his lips secretly, thinking: Sure enough, I still don't hit the south wall and don't look back, I'm so hard to persuade you, damn it, let you go.Shaking his head and leaving.

Jiang Shenyi looked up at the sky, and saw that the night had fallen, and there was only a sliver of twilight in the sky, and said: "It's getting late now..."

Brother Gui came out and said, "Yeah, it's already late today. Are you going to start the challenge tomorrow?"

Jiang Shenyi said: "No. If we start climbing now, we should be able to watch the sunrise at the peak, right?"

The night was dark, and the two adjacent tents were bright and dark.The bright ones are still active, and the dark ones have rested.

A tortoise the size of a washbasin opened the tent and slowly crawled in.

As soon as you enter the tent, you will be greeted by the smell of food.

Tang Zhao finished his practice and had already started serving supper.

Late night supper should not be too grand, Tang Zhao just set up a soup pot, boiled a few side dishes, such as meat and vegetables, fish and shrimp, just eat lightly.

Seeing the turtle, he smiled and said, "It's time for Mr. Turtle to come back." He climbed up the table.

Tang Zhao said, "You know how to check the time." He set a bowl for it, filled it with some fish and shrimp, and said, "Is this enough?"

The tortoise said: "Two more spoonfuls."

Tang Zhao said: "Enough is enough, you turtles have a slow metabolism, it's not good to eat too much."

The tortoise wondered: "What is what?"

Tang Zhaodao: "It means that you don't do anything every day, and you can't digest if you eat too much."

The tortoise was very upset when he heard this, and shouted: "What do you mean by not doing anything? I have done a lot of things... Oh, do you know? I just spied on a piece of information."

Tang Zhao squinted and said, "You... spied on information?"

The tortoise became more and more angry, and said, "Do you know where I came from? I came from the kid's tent next door. Guess what I saw?"

Tang Zhao's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "What?"

The turtle said: "I saw his test paper."

Tang Zhao snorted and said, "I need you to read it? Do I need to read other people's test papers? Even if you see a perfect answer, I don't care, so don't tell me. I answer the questions myself, and I get full marks."

The turtle sneered and said, "If I get a perfect score, will I tell you? I'm still the emissary who supervises you, can't I? Can I take the initiative to steal the answer for you? On the contrary, his test paper is a blank paper! He didn't write a single question! You know this What do you mean?"

Tang Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "He's waiting for the last pass to plagiarize?"

The tortoise said speechlessly: "Can you use your brain? The last test will only take a day or two, is there enough time to plagiarize all of them? But all sword masters, who want to get a good grade, have to write a pen or two. The previous questions are not difficult, even an idiot can answer dozens of them. Well, even a pure idiot, who can’t know a single question, will read it again, look at the questions, and there must be traces on the test paper. He That test paper is brand new and has not been opened! And you were delayed in answering the questions before, so you started late. He started on the road earlier than you, and chose the road that was not prompted. What does this mean? It means that he did not I didn't want to answer the question. Or, he is not a swordsman at all!"

Tang Zhao was thoughtful, and said: "It makes sense. Is it because I am not a sword master, but I rushed to Jianzhou for another purpose?"

The tortoise was relieved: "You have finally realized it! He has a purpose. His identity is not simple, and his purpose is also not simple!"

Tang Zhao pondered: "Indeed, it sounds like he might have a problem... What does that have to do with me?"

The tortoise said "Hey?", and Tang Zhao took it for granted, "Although I don't know what his purpose is, he didn't come here to ambush me anyway. I don't know him at all, and he has nothing to gain. I'm richer. So what the hell does he want to do with me?"

The tortoise said: "It's not...you are in danger if you walk with people with ulterior motives!"

Tang Zhao said relaxedly: "To be prudent, we can part ways with him tomorrow. But there is no need to delve into his matter. The most important thing for me now is to get ahead in answering questions and get good grades. As for other secrets, even if a major treason case is discovered Come on, what does it have to do with me?"

The tortoise was speechless for a moment, Tang Zhao patted it on the back, and said: "I know, you are a spirit turtle from Longyuan, you must worry about half of the host's heart. You can check if you want, but you still have to go on the road tomorrow." Come with me. You are not a host, nor a sacrificial wine, but mainly my emissary. You are in his position to seek his own affairs. Don’t pay too much attention to other people’s affairs. It’s true to eat and drink and keep yourself warm.”

After finishing speaking, he buried his head in eating and drinking, the tortoise fell silent for a while, and ate wildly in the bowl.The only sound in the tent was Siri's snoring.

White roll... Interesting.
