It sounds slow, but in fact everyone arrived at Shushan much faster than Qi Zhen thought.
Anyway, it is much faster than flying.
Qi Zhen calculated that at the speed of ordinary civil aviation aircraft, this long distance would have to take three hours to fly reliably.
As a result, including the delay in the middle, the flight actually took less than half an hour.
Qi Zhen thought to herself that this might be the result of Wu Tian deliberately conserving his energy, otherwise he might still be faster, and more than a little bit faster.
Qi Zhen could never forget the terrifying speed of the flying sword when she was at Yuemeng Mountain.
But no one in the team is currently paying attention to whether it took half an hour or a cup of tea to fly here from the Dabie Mountains.
This was not because everyone was attracted by the conversation between Qi Zhen and Wu Tian, or because Wu Tian wanted to accept a few people as his disciples, which made a few people feel flattered and distracted. It was just that everyone in the team was shocked by the scene in front of them. He didn't even care how long he had been flying.
In fact, the shock for several people did not start from now, but from a few minutes ago to what it is now.
Along the way, Qi Zhen had been arguing with Wu Tian about the way of heaven, accepting disciples, and could not extricate herself from the memories of games and TV series that existed in her mind.
The reason why the topic was interrupted at this time was naturally because Qi Zhen was shocked by the scene in front of her.
If you really want to say it, the true face of Shushan is actually very different from what Qi Zhen imagined in her mind.
I remember when I played this game, I only remembered the piles of monsters on the road and the picturesque scenery in the mountains. I didn’t have such an intuitive experience of Shushan itself from far to near.
It was only at this time that he truly felt the magnificence and majesty of Shu Mountain. It was worthy of being called the most outstanding place in Shu together with Mount Emei.
If the continuous Dabie Mountains give people a kind of ragged and majestic ups and downs, then Shushan Mountain is a completely different solitary peak.
The contrast between the surrounding low mountains and the main peak in the middle is like stars looming over the moon, which seems to be to further highlight the towering peaks in the middle.
As a result, the main peak in the middle appears to be even taller, somewhat like it stands thousands of feet high.
You see, even the idioms describing mountain peaks are related to swords. It’s no wonder that Shushan is such a scenic mountain with many swordsmen.
If the team were heading towards Shushan from a distance on foot or by carriage, the shock that this mountain peak would bring to everyone might not be as shocking as it is now.
Precisely because the team was approaching by flying, the oppressive feeling of the giant monster in front of them becoming even bigger made people think of the evil dragon in Wuhu.
It's equally full of momentum, but the sharpness of the mountain peak is even greater.
Wu Tian was actually quite proud of the expressions and states shown by several people at this time, not to mention Qi Zhen and others. Whenever he returned from wielding a sword, he would always be deeply attracted by the scene in front of him. For hundreds of years, This has always been the case.
The flying swords at everyone's feet changed direction and flew towards the foot of the mountain.
Then he stopped in front of a stone monument.
This stele looks very ancient and exudes an indescribable chill. The most amazing thing is that there are no text carvings or calligraphy or paintings on the stele. What is engraved on it is the outline of a sword.
Wu Tian didn't wait for anyone to ask, and said: "This is our sword-solving stele in Shu Mountain. No matter which Taoist friend from which sect comes to visit, he must come here to untie the sword before continuing to climb the mountain. Otherwise, Shu Mountain can be regarded as the same as a fellow Taoist asking for a sword." , you should face yourself as an enemy. Of course, our disciples are not bound by this."
"You go up the mountain from here. When you reach the top of the mountain, you will be met by Shushan disciples. All disciples who want to join my Shushan sect must pass this test. There is no exception, so you should go up on your own."
"Didn't you say you would take us in directly?" Yu Liang asked.
"I said I would take you directly to Shushan, but I didn't say I would take you directly in." Wu Tian said.
"But you just said you would accept a disciple. Now that I agree, will I be regarded as a Shushan disciple?" Yu Liang asked again.
"This is the truth, but the road that should be taken must not be less, and the mountain that should be climbed must still be climbed." Wu Tian said.
"Damn, I've been fooled by you again." Yu Liang said reluctantly.
"Don't worry, with your current strength, let alone this mere mountain road, just... forget it."
Wu Tian stopped talking, which made Qi Zhen frown.
"Master Wu Xian, if you don't tell us, we can leave." Qi Zhen said.
"Huh? What, you want to leave?" Wu Tian was stunned.
Aren’t these people always thinking about seeking Taoism and visiting immortals? Why don't you go up to Shushan now?
"If you don't say anything, we will withdraw. At worst, we can go sightseeing around and thank Wu Xianshi for sending us all the way." Qi Zhen said.
"Excuse me, my two spiritual beads?" Wu Tian asked quickly.
"Anyway, there is no rush. In this way, when we have enough fun here, we will naturally offer the two spirit beads with both hands. What do you think?" Qi Zhen raised her eyebrows and glanced at Wu Tian.
"This...hey..." Wu Tian was ready to slap his big mouth.
"How many levels do we need to pass from here to getting started?" Qi Zhen asked.
Wu Tian didn't say anything, but raised his hand and made a sign of three.
"Damn! Isn't this a scam?" Yu Liang quit.
"What are the three levels? What are they? How can I pass them?" Qi Zhen then asked.
"This... there are sect rules, you can't say it or not." Wu Tian shook his head and said.
"let's go."
Qi Zhen turned around and left without even leaving any room for relaxation.
Qi Zhen said to leave, and a few people naturally followed. On the one hand, everyone is used to keeping in step with the teammate who knows the game best on big things. On the other hand, they have lived enough days of fear, and if they meet again, they will Unless something unexpected happens, the team is afraid that there will be no place to cry when the time comes.
What Qi Zhen was worried about was Wu Tian's reluctance to part with the two spirit beads in his hand. Listening to Wu Tian's words, it didn't sound like he was lying. With the team's current strength, it might not be necessary to face the next challenges and tasks. It takes too much effort.
However, Qi Zhen did not want to repeat what happened in the Dabie Mountains again.
So Qi Zhen once again won as he expected.
"Okay, can I tell you? If I tell you, don't tell others." Wu Tian sighed and said helplessly.
"Okay, you go ahead." Qi Zhen said lightly without turning her head.
Then Wu Tian began to use Qi Zhen's method of gathering voices into a line, which even other people in the team couldn't believe.
Qi Zhen nodded slowly and asked, "No more?"
"It's really gone. It's gone." Wu Tian waved his hand quickly.
"Isn't there a second level and a third level later?" Qi Zhen asked next.
"The second level is relatively complicated for you, but it is not difficult at all. In short, it is far worse than what happened in the Dabie Mountains. The third level requires face-to-face questioning by the leader. Generally, people who can pass the first two levels, I still I’ve never seen anyone fail to pass the third level.”
"When you pass the first level and reach the top of Shu Mountain, you will naturally see me then. I will tell you how to pass the second level. How about that?" Wu Tian said.
Qi Zhen pondered for a moment and nodded.
"It's a deal."
"See you at the top of the mountain."
There was a flash of sword light, and Wu Tian disappeared in front of everyone in an instant.
"Damn! Are you leaving now?" Yu Liang said angrily.
"It is not easy to do this. Although most of the things we have experienced are related to him, we have to say that Wu Tian is indeed kind to us, and the kindness is indeed not small. We can never be arrogant because of his favor. "I'm forcing you too hard." Qi Zhen said slowly.
"Qi Zhen is right. Being able to make full use of the resources and NPCs in the game is our advantage, but we must not go too far. If the system determines that it violates the rules of the game, it will be counterproductive later." Li Qiang said.
"Water can carry a boat or overturn it. This speed is indeed extremely difficult to control." Qi Zhen nodded.
Since everyone has no swords, there is no need to untie the sword. After bypassing the Sword Unleashing Monument, what appears in front of everyone is a mountain road with no end at a glance.
It would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to carve out a mountain road on such a steep mountain wall, but I don't know if it was done by Shushan disciples using immortal methods.
The scenery at the foot of the mountain is actually more like the scenery of Yuemeng Mountain and Dabie Mountain. The mountains of trees block the skylight above everyone's heads, bringing a touch of coolness to the mountains.
Seeing Qi Zhen's confident look, everyone was naturally not too nervous about encountering any unpredictable risks and problems. Just walking like this felt a bit like being in Ziwei Mountain.
Although everyone was not in a hurry, they could not resist the fact that they were in good health and capable, and could run dozens of kilometers at a time without exerting any effort. Even if the team could slow down, it still took them a short time to reach this mountaineering road. The first station.
The reason why Qi Zhen knew that this was the first stop was because she was told by Wu Tian in advance, and the others saw what they saw in front of them.
Meng Ran also found two adobe houses, thatched cottages, wooden houses, and he didn't know who built them here.
Qi Zhen did know, but she just kept it a secret and didn't say anything.
Most of the houses here look old, and many of them have signs of being repaired with new wood and thatch. It seems like people still live here.
It's just that although the scenery in the mountains is beautiful, it is still deserted and there are no markets or restaurants. Life here must be very inconvenient.
Just as everyone in the team was marveling at the beautiful scenery here that looked like the one picking chrysanthemums and leisurely seeing Nanshan Mountain under the eastern fence, they heard two very discordant voices.
"I built this mountain." A voice said.
"I planted this tree," another voice continued.
"Go through here," the first voice said again.
"Leave the money to buy the road!" Another voice said at the end.
Then the two "heroes" appeared in front of everyone.
The reason why they are called two heroes is probably because of their informal clothing, scattered hair, straw in their mouths, sparse beards, and the two handfuls in their hands...
"Hey, hey, are those fire sticks in your hands?" Yu Liang asked.
