"Hoo~ho!"
On the steep mountain road, a young man raised his hand to wipe his face. Even though he was wearing a bamboo hat, under the scorching sun, the thin layer of shielding seemed to have little effect. Looking carefully, he saw that the cuffs he used to wipe sweat had been soaked through, and there was even a little white powder on the edges. They were fine salt particles that could be condensed after being soaked and dried many times.
Behind him, there were three or four children, large and small, wearing coarse linen clothes, some wearing bamboo hats, some carrying grass rings, and some simply holding up a banana leaf.
"Brother Qiao, how far is it?"
A boy who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old asked in a hoarse voice.
"Soon,"
The leading young man paused and said, "After climbing over this mountain, you can see the sacred tree."
"Really?!"
His words were undoubtedly a shot in the arm, making several boys and girls overjoyed, and they suddenly felt new strength emerging from their tired bodies.
"By the way, Brother Li, your Shui family is a big family in Bazhong, and your treatment is pretty good now. You have to think about it carefully. If you really go to Shushan, your family may not be able to go back."
Qiao Yu reminded again.
To be more precise, it's not that you can't go back, but that if you go back, not only will you be arrested, but your family will also be punished.
"Oh, Brother Qiao, how many times have you told me this?"
Shu Li waved his hand impatiently, "Since I am with you, I have already thought about it. We in Bashu naturally have our own beliefs. How can it be that the people of Qin just follow what they say? What I am going to do on this trip is Go to Shu Mountain to learn magical skills, and then come down from the mountain to revive the Shu Kingdom!"
"Wow! Brother Li is so awesome!"
Such words immediately aroused the exclamation and admiration of many companions, and also made Du Li himself look good.
Among the group of people, only Qiao Yu, the leader, had no change in his expression. Instead, he sighed: "That's fine, you can figure it out yourself. As for whether you can worship in Shushan...that depends on your fate. There is a big tree in front of us, let's go Let’s take a rest under the shade of the trees.”
After a while, they finally came to the tree out of breath.
"Hey, there's a person there!"
Qiao Yu looked intently, and sure enough he found a person lying on the rock under the tree. His clothes were similar to those of himself and others, and his head was covered with a large banana leaf.
After getting closer, the man seemed to hear the movement and moved the banana leaf covering his face slightly, revealing Chi Yao's face. He spoke with a thick Sichuan accent: "You are also going to become apprentices, right?"
"yes,"
Hearing the local accent, Qiao Yu immediately let down most of his guard. While arranging for his companions to rest quickly, he responded, "Brother, are you too? We are all from Qiao County in the east, how about you?"
"me……"
Chi Yao fanned the banana leaf, "That's far away. My name is Bayao, and I came here from Bazhong."
"That's really not easy!"
Hearing what he said, Qiao Yu sighed with emotion.
The most common surname in the land of Bashu, the authentic accent, similar clothes and the same goal, Chi Yao's affinity with Qiao Yu was full at this moment.
Of course, if he doesn't get enough, he can only consider using some special means to passively increase his favorability.
Fortunately, no such accident happened. With Qiao Yu's introduction, he successfully joined this small team.
Going to Shushan in person to become a disciple was what Chi Yao came up with.
After all, no amount of narration is as straightforward as experiencing it in person.
As for how to conceal his identity and his own cultivation, he has to mention the Heavenly Gu that he refined again.
The original ability of Heavenly Gu is more reflected in the observation and gazing, but in the Hidden Witch Palace, the statue of Wu Xian, one of the ten witches, has many witch patterns about divination and anti-divination.
Tian Gu showed a strong interest in them.
After being inspired by Tian Gu, Chi Yao simply let Qi Jue Gu come out to look for food on his own.
So, the poisonous poison naturally found the statue of the poisonous witch; the corpse poison found the corpse witch...
After digesting part of the witch marks on Wu Xian's body, Tian Gu successfully evolved.
After evolution, in addition to its original functions of looking for energy, the Heavenly Gu also has the ability to deceive the sky. It is not a hidden body in the physical sense, but "not included in the calculation" and "hidden energy and hidden power".
Being out of calculation is a passive ability. Chi Yao, who has the Heavenly Gu in his body, can avoid the calculations of divination masters within a certain range, allowing them to ignore this variable. The Qi Hiding Skill is active. Once it is activated, others will not be able to detect the Qi Jin in Chi Yao's body. The only thing that cannot be hidden is the physical strength.
But you can completely use your natural divine power to deal with it.
In this way, Chi Yao, who was well disguised, embarked on the road to Shushan.
As for the chance encounter with Qiao Yu and the others, it was really not his intention. It can only be said that they are quite destined.
After mutual introduction, Chi Yao learned that in this team, the leader and the oldest one, Qiao Yu, and another young man with a sullen expression were from the Qiao family and the Shu family respectively, and were considered to be disciples of large families in the land of Bashu. In comparison, the other three were very ordinary, they were ordinary descendants of mountain people.
As for him, he pretended to be an ordinary mountain man, so he was almost bullied by the tax gift.
A group of six people climbed over mountains and ridges, and it took more than ten days from seeing the sacred tree in the distance to actually arriving at the foot of the main peak of Shushan Mountain.
"Finally, finally, here we are..."
Except for Chi Yao, everyone else was extremely tired, especially the three little guys with no background. They were already younger and thinner. This journey was really hard.
A few people were resting under the shade of the trees at the foot of the mountain when they suddenly heard the rustling of branches and leaves above their heads.
Turning their heads, they saw a young man in fine clothes, dexterously climbing among rocks and branches like an ape, and soon arrived in front of them.
"You guys should be here to become apprentices, right?"
The person who came looked like he was about twenty years old, with a dagger on his waist and a hearty smile. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Yu Ziqi. I am one of Yu Yuan's guards in Shushan. I will be in charge of you this time." Several entry examinations.”
"I've met senior."
Qiao Yu, Shui Li and others bowed and saluted with unconcealable joy on their faces, and Chi Yao also followed suit.
"Well, no need to be polite."
Yu Ziqi raised his hand and pointed to a higher place, "The content of your assessment is very simple. Here, do you see where it is?"
Several people followed his hand and found that it was a steep rock wall with an almost ninety-degree angle.
"There are auxiliary items we have arranged over there. You only need to climb up alone to pass! Don't worry, it's not difficult."
Yu Ziqi was not trying to comfort them. In fact, since he was defeated by Concubine Yan and the Moon God sisters, the Great Elder of Shushan had ordered to relax the criteria for recruiting disciples. It seemed that he planned to cast a wide net to screen out enough students as soon as possible. The genius who inherited the orthodoxy.
After the news came out, the number of people who came to Shushan to be apprentices increased several times. Unfortunately, no good ideas have appeared until now.
