The rising sun illuminates the mountains and forests, the courtyard, and everyone's eyes.
As if they had made an agreement, all the students came out together soon after the door opened. At this time, everyone still maintained their original demeanor. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. No one seemed to want to show impatience.
'Squeak——'
Another sound of the door opening woke up everyone who was at a loss. Everyone looked back and saw Jiang Changming walking out of the house unhurriedly.
Facing the people who were staying in the courtyard without setting off, Jiang Changming walked straight through the crowd as if he hadn't seen them, and then walked in the direction the boy said without looking back.
Seeing Jiang Changming leading the way, everyone woke up from a dream and followed suit in unison. After all, no one wanted to fall behind, and no one wanted to be ahead of others.
…
After leaving the courtyard, everyone followed Jiang Changming on the long and winding mountain road.
At first, the mountain road was quite wide, and everyone could still walk abreast in twos and threes. Perhaps to ease the atmosphere, perhaps to encourage each other, or perhaps to make others relax their vigilance, some of these students actually started talking and laughing——
"Is it possible that this retest will be just like the first cold test, just going through the motions?"
"Is this really going to happen, and all thirty of us will be accepted as disciples?"
“That’s not impossible”
"Hahahaha, let's not daydream about such beautiful things. If this is really going to happen, can't you just tell us directly at Taiyue College that day? Why go to all this trouble?"
Everyone was laughing and laughing, and the atmosphere was extremely peaceful. But as we walked, the mountain road gradually narrowed. Not only that, there were bushes and thorns on both sides of the road. Many students had their sleeves cut. However, despite this, none of the thirty students slowed down and even fell down. The students at the back faintly speeded up their pace. If the road hadn't been narrow, they might have all broken into a trot. At the same time, these students who were lagging behind couldn't help but feel regretful in their hearts - if they had known that it was just a difficult mountain road, why did they keep their grace and fall behind? It is better to start first and not be left behind like now.
However, the anxiety in these people's hearts was quickly dispelled. After walking for about half an hour, it was already bright and everything around me became clear. After crossing the winding path just now, the road became wider. Soon, everyone was walking on the road together, no one was ahead or behind anyone.
At this point, the atmosphere seemed to relax again. But after experiencing the difficult march just now, everyone was no longer in a joking mood, but speeded up their pace unconsciously, just to gain a favorable position when they entered the rugged path again.
Jiang Changming was still walking at the forefront. He remained vigilant without saying a word, alert to situations that might arise at any time. Along the way, Jiang Changming really didn't notice anything strange, but it was this 'nothing strange' that made him deeply uneasy - the mountains and forests that were gradually coming to life, the crisp and sweet birdsong, the fresh and moist air... everything was so peaceful. , but it was this peace that made Jiang Changming feel... a little weird?
Could it be that I am overthinking it? Maybe the husband already had the answer in his mind, so he chose such a simple test question? No, if that were the case, wouldn't thirty people fight in front of the shabby house? If that's the case, I'm not too worried, but if that's the case...
Jiang Changming analyzed it secretly in his heart, but there was still no change on his face. At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed——
"Look! The shabby room is right in front!"
Everyone looked in surprise and saw the legendary hut at the end of the jungle. It stood there peacefully and peacefully, as if waiting for everyone to arrive.
Everyone was greatly encouraged and raised their arms and fists one after another. The end was right in front of them. How could they not be inspiring? But before everyone was excited for a long time, they suddenly realized a problem - the first person to arrive at the shack was deemed to have passed the reexamination... These were the original words of the boy yesterday. If the shack was right in front of them, then...
For a moment, everyone had their own secrets, and the atmosphere instantly became intense and tense.
The heat gradually rose in the mountains and forests, and the cicadas began to chirp, reaching the ears of all living beings, making them even more excited and anxious.
Just as everyone stood there stupidly looking at the shabby room, Jiang Changming suddenly took a few steps forward. Han Chunrong was shocked when he saw this. He came to his senses first and quickened his pace to follow Jiang Changming. It seemed that he no longer cared about anything and wanted to surpass Jiang Changming in the next moment.
When the others saw this, they rushed to keep up, fearing that they would fall behind. For a moment, everyone was like an arrow that had escaped from the string, running towards the shabby room.
Yingping and Ye Changshan also ran away. Due to their short stature, they were quickly left behind. Previously, the two of them had been walking in the middle of the team because they were the youngest. Now it was time for you to fight for it, and everyone no longer "respected the old and favored the young."
But just when Han Chunrong was about to overtake Jiang Changming, Jiang Changming suddenly stopped. At the same time, he suddenly raised his hand and shouted——
"slow!"
Hearing Jiang Changming's shout, everyone instinctively stopped moving forward. Everyone looked at Jiang Changming in confusion, wondering why he suddenly stopped.
Han Chunrong looked at Jiang Changming with confusion, but Jiang Changming was as motionless as a stone at the moment. Seeing this situation, Han Chunrong asked: "Mr. Jiang, this is..."
"inappropriate."
Han Chunrong was startled for a moment, then asked: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Changming took a deep breath and said, "None of this is appropriate."
Han Chunrong frowned, and then he looked around cautiously. After confirming that there was nothing so-called 'wrong', he sneered and said: "Ha! Mr. Jiang's good intentions are understood by Han! But Han thinks that he is here There is nothing wrong with that. If Young Master Jiang has nothing to say, then I will go ahead and say goodbye!"
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Changming to speak, Han Chunrong stepped forward again.
Seeing Han Chunrong walking forward quickly, how could the people who were about to move stand out? They followed him swarmly, and when they passed by Jiang Changming, they didn't forget to cast strange glances.
When Yingping saw everyone running, he wanted to follow them forward, but suddenly his wrist was grabbed by Ye Changshan.
Yingping felt his wrist being pulled tightly by Ye Changshan. He looked at Ye Changshan in confusion and asked urgently: "Changshan! What are you doing? Run! The first one to arrive will be considered as the winner!"
"Slow down, I feel...something's wrong"
"Ah? What's wrong? It's been a safe journey. Maybe the teacher is tricking us!"
"Look, Mr. Jiang didn't move either."
"What?"
Yingping looked forward and saw Jiang Changming still standing there, motionless.
Perhaps it was the keen sense of smell brought about by walking in the mountains and forests all year round, or perhaps it was his trust in Jiang Changming, but Ye Changshan also felt that something was wrong.
Maybe the test has really begun? But everyone has run away for more than ten feet, and they haven't seen anything strange... Maybe the test is in a shabby room? Then...then wouldn't he fall behind others? Could it be that this is not a shabby room? But...but the legendary mirage-like illusion? If we can reach the shabby room so easily, what's the point of this reexamination...? But who can guess what the gentleman is thinking? Wen Junchen's martial arts test was just about drawing a bow, but this time...
Jiang Changming frowned and quickly analyzed various possibilities in his mind. Seeing that everyone was getting further and further away from him, at this moment, as if he felt something, he suddenly raised his head——
Something bad happened!
Jiang Changming is naturally alert, his senses are different from ordinary people, and he is a powerful person, so he can naturally feel things that ordinary people cannot feel. Just when he wanted to shout loudly to stop everyone, suddenly, the ground began to tremble slightly, and the surrounding trees swayed.
In an instant, the ground cracked under everyone's feet, as if there was a hole. The trees nearby began to shake violently, causing leaves to fall one after another, and the sound of the mechanism "clicking". Everyone stood unsteadily and was 'swallowed' by the earth in an instant, falling into the potholes one after another. The pit was bottomless, and everyone was crying and screaming, trying to grab anything they could to stop themselves from sliding down. But no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't grab anything and could only slide all the way to the unknown. Bottomless abyss.
People's cries for help kept coming from the pit, getting smaller and smaller, getting farther and farther, as if the hole had no bottom. On the ground, Ye Changshan and Yingping looked at the big hole that appeared out of thin air with lingering fear. They were secretly glad that they didn't follow them. But just as they were in shock, suddenly, the ground with the hole suddenly began to crack! The mountain also began to shake slightly, like an earthquake.
The three of them stood precariously on the ground, seeing the crack swimming towards them as quickly as an earth dragon and a python. Ye Changshan and Ying Ping panicked, and were so frightened that they could no longer control their legs and feet. Jiang Changming, with quick eyes and quick hands, jumped back and narrowly escaped from the collapsed ground. He looked back and saw two teenagers rolling and crawling back. Jiang Changming wanted to reach out to rescue him, but the collapse of the ground still seemed to have no intention of stopping. If he didn't escape, he might not be able to save himself! In desperation, Jiang Changming had no choice but to dodge backwards and roll over like a deft ape, but in the blink of an eye, he completely disappeared.
However, Ye Changshan and Yingping were not so lucky. They ran all the way with all their strength and were extremely embarrassed. The two of them had only one thought in their minds - it would be a small matter if they could go to the shabby room, but don't risk their lives here and it would be a big deal!
