Before the middle stage of Qi training, all the training is to polish the physical body, which is the foundation of the path. If the physical training is not good, the spiritual power it can carry is also limited.
During the preparation period for disciples, the lecturers in each school will urge them to focus on the practice itself rather than following heresies and various techniques.
If you can successfully enter the middle stage of Qi training, you can concentrate on the techniques and work on fighting. In addition, those who have not reached the middle stage of Qi training in five years will be left as handymen. This type of monks will rarely enter the country in the future, so they will practice more magic and increase their abilities.
In order to help formal disciples practice, the sect has several artificially created dangerous places for disciples to practice their techniques. If they can get their name on the list in the dangerous places, they will be rewarded.
The place where Zhao Shun will go is the three-point stone forest.
This place is located in the southeast of the valley. It was transformed by the magic weapon of the first generation leader Fang Huaji. There are three layers of mountain and river barriers in between. The rocks inside are as diverse as pillars and fans. Lingzhen also set up a phantom formation here. Whenever a disciple enters, monkey shadows will attack.
Therefore, some people named it "Hou'er Pass".
The terrain is rugged and the shadows of monkeys are everywhere. The three-point stone forest has become a place for practicing body skills and attacks. Looking for an opportunity to move freely, Zhao Chunwei naturally chose this place.
When you first enter the dangerous place, it feels like you have left a deep valley, and you no longer see half of the wonderful scenery of Lingzhen's mountains and rivers. Layers of thick gray fog covered each other, and several layers of rocks suddenly seemed far away and now closer.
The entrance is quite small, only a square inch from a distance. There is a small hanging pavilion on the steep cliff, where the gatekeeper is located. Next to the small pavilion, on the cliff rising from the ground, the four characters "killing" and "chuanlin" were written with a red pen, and there were two columns of small characters below the big characters.
Zhao Chun looked up and found it interesting. The gate was so dangerous. If you didn't practice your body skills, it would be really difficult to get up. I was afraid that many people would be stopped outside the entrance.
Now he used quick walking and snake steps, and he jumped up in a few breaths.
The handyman guarding the pavilion was distracted for a moment, and he didn't know what flew in. It only flickered in front of his eyes, and it seemed like a small black shadow.
When the black shadow froze, I saw clearly that it was a person. He was thin and small, and he was dressed plainly. He didn't know where he came from.
When Zhao Shun "flew" in, she felt that the small pavilion was indeed very small and even a little crowded inside. Apart from her, there was no one else around, and it seemed extremely deserted.
"Are you the only one here?"
The male disciple guarding the door came to his senses, nodded, and said with a dull expression: "Are you here for a trial? Hand over your identity card and pay twenty gems."
twenty? Zhao Chun smacked his tongue slightly, the price was really expensive.
She handed the sign over and asked, "Doesn't anyone come here on weekdays?"
The male disciple took it and took a look, oh, it’s still from the inner sect! Hearing her ask again, he immediately started talking, "There are still some, but few. I heard from the seniors who were on duty in the past that many people came here in the past, but now it seems that there are new places to go, and there are fewer people here." .He just came, asked for twenty gems, scolded us on duty for asking for random prices, and ran away. He said that we working people had no right to ask for prices. We didn’t have any money to make money. And got scolded.”
Zhao Chun also felt that it was a bit expensive. When he saw the male disciple's sad face, he said with a smile in his heart: "It is indeed expensive. Ordinary outer disciples are only sixty in a month, so they can't save money on food and expenses."
"Although it's expensive, you can't bully a child!" He seemed to be caught by the tail, and started to show off like an ordinary businessman: "This is the magic weapon at hand of the ancestor. Even the formation is set up by the elders of the sect, and every year he invests The number of repaired stones is in the tens of thousands, and charging twenty is just a drop in the bucket. How can it not be worth it to exchange these for a great fortune?"
Zhao Shun knew that great fortune could be achieved, but it had to be built on dozens or even thousands of successful and failed experiences. Each time was twenty, which was a huge expense if calculated carefully. Most outer disciples would definitely not be able to afford such accounts if they didn't have a chance.
"What do you mean by the new place you are talking about?" This is what Zhao Chun is curious about.
The male disciple hesitated and refused to explain clearly at first, fearing that she would turn around and leave. Zhao Chun repeatedly stated that he was indeed here for Houerguan today, and then he was willing to explain.
There are thousands of disciples in the outer sect, each with their own specialties. Some are good at Kung Fu training, and some are good at physical combat. Those disciples who are good at one discipline make money from their skills, open special lecture halls, and receive training. Teach people the know-how of magic.
Zhao Shun nodded while listening, feeling a bit like a cram school in the real world.
But practicing in this way is tantamount to following the path of others. If you follow blindly, you will eventually live in the shadow of others. All kinds of magic techniques will eventually be used by oneself. If one does not have a breakthrough in one's own feelings, how can one control Ruyi?
"If things go on like this, the disciples will always follow the script and rarely make innovations. Why doesn't the sect take action to manage it?"
The male disciple sighed: "It seems...maybe it was taken care of before? But in the past twenty years, it has become more and more prosperous, and I don't see any opinions from the sect..."
Zhao Shun frowned for a long time in silence. The presence of the Lingzhen Sect in some places really made her very confused.
After a while, she took out twenty gemstones and said, "Remember it for me first, and then you can count the rest after I try it out."
"Hey! Okay!" The male disciple hurriedly took it and said with a smile: "You are sober and know what is good for practice." He smiled and talked about some monkey related things.
For example, a triple barrier separates two long passes, both ten miles long. The terrain inside the first one is slightly gentle, which is suitable for the trial of disciples in the middle stage of Qi training. The other one is much more dangerous. It is recommended to enter in the later stage of Qi training.
The two lists next to it, "Killing" and "Crossing the Forest," refer to two different trial methods.
If you travel through the ten-mile long pass at a fast speed and record the shortest time, you can be included in the "Through the Forest" list. Using a stick of incense as a mark, the person who kills the most monkey shadows will record the number of kills and be included in the "Killing Action" list.
The two rankings are divided into one column each for the middle and late stages of Qi training, and are not calculated in one place.
At this point, the male disciple came closer and said: "For each hundred people on the list, the eleventh to the hundredth will be rewarded with five hundred gemstones, the tenth, and the thousandth, and above that, for each person who enters, the reward will be one thousand!"
That's really a big deal. If you can get the top spot, it will be 10,000 stones, which is a huge sum of money for a disciple in the Qi training period.
Zhao Chun saw the male disciple's sly eyes and asked, "Isn't it that simple?"
"That's true." He said with a sneer: "This list has been on the list since the sect was founded. It has been more than two thousand years ago. Genius disciples of all generations have almost filled the list. It is extremely difficult to get on the list again. There are those who are not convinced and are lucky enough to give it a try, but most of them give away the stones in exchange for nothing. As time goes by, fewer people dare to try."
He widened his eyes and said tentatively: "But with your strong body and strong body, you will definitely be able to get on the list. If it doesn't work once, try again. If you get up, you will go back to your roots!"
Zhao Shun was speechless for a moment. She was not here to make money. It was a critical period to break the situation, and it was more important to come to Monkey to get down to business.
