Chu Gou's consciousness had already faded, but the severe pain all over his body was extremely clear. Both his body and mind seemed to be urging him to take a rest. Only a persistent voice in his heart screamed at him not to stop.
Even if you move slower, even if you move up bit by bit, you can't stop at all!
Because once you stop, you will definitely "die"!
I don’t know how long it took. All those tragic past events disappeared from sight, as if they had never appeared. The surrounding clouds appear again. Those heart-wrenching sharp knives disappeared, and the stone steps in front of them returned to the appearance they had before.
"Were all those things just now fake? Was it my dream?" Chu Gou couldn't help but think so. He felt that his previously hazy mind suddenly became clear again at this moment.
"Could it be that those just now were tests by the gods on the cliff mountain?" Gu Gou felt that his guess was reasonable. If you want to gain the power of God, how can you do it without any test?
Do you think the test is too difficult?
Yes and no. Compared to actually going back to the days a year ago when he could fall down at any time on the stone field and never get up again, Chu Gou felt that what he had just experienced was nothing at all. Just think of it as a nightmare. It’s good to wake up!
"But why is my whole body still unbearably tired?" Chu Gou's mind became clear, but he still found it difficult to support his body. Fatigue penetrated every inch of his body.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
When I looked back, I saw that both behind me and in front of me were shrouded in clouds and mist, and there was only a vast expanse of white that could not be seen for several feet.
How long we have been climbing, how far we have been climbing, and how far we still have to go. Don't know anything.
Suddenly, Chu Gou saw that the clouds and fog in front seemed to be a little lighter, and he could vaguely see what seemed to be a gentle terrace in the distance ahead.
"Is that the top of the mountain?" Chu Gou felt excited.
After climbing a few more steps, a small coffee table appeared in the mist, right on the edge of the steps. There is a teapot and a teacup on the coffee table, as well as a plate of fragrant rice cakes.
Oh my gosh! Rice cakes! That is the favorite food of cud dogs. It’s a delicacy that I only eat once a year. Coupled with a pot of hot tea, the cud dog feels as if he can rest on the edge of the coffee table. After all, the top of the mountain was already in sight, and there didn't seem to be anyone walking in front of him.
"Would you like to rest for a while?" There will inevitably be hesitation in my heart. After all, he was really tired and hungry at this moment, and the end was right in front of him, so it was okay to take a rest.
On the top of the mountain, Wang Nian also looked a little nervous, and secretly thought that this illusion was too damaging. Not only does it test people's resilience in the most difficult situations and their ability to withstand suffering, but it also paralyzes people by pretending to be victorious at the last moment, causing them to fall into the gutter.
Those teas and everyone's favorite foods are traps. Once you touch them, you will feel extremely comfortable and relaxed, and you will probably be trapped in the comfort before victory and find it difficult to have any motivation to move forward.
To be honest, Wang Nian didn't think he could perform well if he fell into such an illusion. He even felt that if he had not experienced the experience of the past three years, he would definitely not be able to survive this illusion.
He secretly glanced at the Dengyun Palace above him and saw that the master had already gone back. Wang Nian felt that towards these new disciples, the master seemed to be much less kind and more harsh and cold.
I don’t know if Wang Nian’s inner reminder played a role. The boy who was climbing hard did not stop because of the teapot and rice cakes that appeared on the edge of the stone steps. Still moving up the mountain bit by bit.
"How did he hold it back?"
"I don't know. But the boy's mood obviously fluctuated. He should have hesitated at the time. But he finally endured it. This kind of perseverance and tenacity is really rare." Even Yang Rui, who has rarely participated in the conversation, also said I couldn't help but praise the other person a few words. Even though they didn't say it, in their hearts Yang Rui and Wang Nian felt that the perseverance and perseverance of the embarrassed young man were probably much stronger than before they entered.
Liu Xin didn't say anything else. Her attention was no longer focused on the young man at the front. On the mountain road, although most qualified climbers failed to reach the Jingxin Pavilion, they broke down and had to be sent down the mountain, thus losing contact with the cliff mountain.
But there were still very few people who stayed on the mountain path, and went all the way up past the "Jingxin Pavilion", the centerline marker of the mountain path.
One, two, three...
As time went by, those one-in-a-million, one-in-a-million people also appeared one after another, and the quota of fifty people suddenly did not seem so difficult to satisfy.
"Look! That guy is almost here!"
The mountain road in Duoya Mountain is not short in nature. Even with normal climbing speed, it will take half a day to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top. People with good physical strength are required to do it. People with less physical strength may not be able to climb to the top of the mountain in one day. Go up there.
Not to mention climbing up bit by bit.
Three full days. This is the most brutal test of a person's willpower, physical strength, and even his spiritual foundation.
Regardless of whether they feel harsh or cruel, in the end the people screened out in this way can definitely be regarded as the best among people, the rare seedlings picked out from hundreds of thousands.
"This...this is a mountain, is it the top of the mountain?"
"Yes, this is the top of the cliff mountain. You are the first person to climb to the top. You are very good!" Wang Nian is the senior brother among the second generation disciples, and it is time for him to come forward at this time. While feeding the other party a pill that soothes the mind and replenishes physical strength, he lets the other party take a good rest, with tea and food on the side. There are still two days left for the mountain climbing meeting, so we need to continue waiting here.
"Thank you, thank you for this, this..."
"My name is Wang Nian, the leader of the second generation disciples of Duoya Mountain. You can call me Master Wang. We will meet more often in the future." Wang Nian didn't waste much thought. Students in the miscellaneous academy also refer to teachers as "lower" or "upper", and there is no title of master or apprentice. They are all called "teacher" or "teacher so-and-so". Just wait until you can officially accept a disciple in the future and then perform the "master" ceremony.
After a round of introductions, Liu Xin and Yang Rui just nodded and said they had met. But the first disciple to climb up kowtowed in a formal manner, looking rather reserved. I didn't notice the fierceness on the mountain road before.
She looks more like a young daughter-in-law who has just entered the house, cautious and cautious. He didn't even dare to raise his head.
"May I have your name?"
"Slave, I'm young. My disciples don't have names. They usually call me Chudog."
"Cudi? Haha, your name is quite special. My previous nickname was Shitou, which is similar to yours. Just rest on the side, and when everyone is here, we will go to the front of the hall to pay homage to the Master."
