Exorcism

Meng Yuanhou is by no means a Tujiao that pleases children. Many children shudder at the thought of having to come into contact with him every day at Yangshen Peak, but they have to admit that Mengdujiao is serious and responsible and is passionate about forging the bodies of new disciples. .

The young man from Yelin Town has been living in Jinghu Village for more than three months, and there are only about twenty days left before the official start time in November. Just when everyone thought they could relax a little, Meng Dujiao impatiently began to teach new skills - — seems to the children to be a new method of torture.

"You have all been practicing bone-forging boxing for a while. Your bodies are already stronger and more flexible than ordinary people. You have also learned a set of stick techniques and a set of boxing techniques. Your reflexes are much stronger than before. Now, it is time to take a step further."

Almost all the new disciples recruited by Pangshan this year have arrived. More than 130 children were standing in the courtyard in the early morning. When they heard what the master said, they all sighed in frustration, especially some who had just entered the building not long ago. They were still not used to the daily stick fight, and "taking it further" only made them more scared.

"There is no smooth path to Taoism." Marquis Meng Yuan used a stern tone to suppress everyone's dissatisfaction. "If you hold on to the idea that you can achieve Taoism by meditating and taking medicine, why not go home now? Why suffer in vain?"

No one wants to go home. They are all children selected from thousands of people. They have Taoist roots. Even if they knew nothing about Taoism before, after seeing several miracles, they are full of yearning for Taoism and know their destiny very well. Great changes have taken place, and giving up such an opportunity will be a lifelong regret.

Meng Yuanhou glanced over and continued: "You must know that all cultivation is against nature. God wants you to live only a few decades, but you have to live for hundreds or thousands of years; God wants you to eat and sleep every day. You have to live without food and never sleep; God wants you to be unable to jump a few feet or be strong enough to weigh a hundred kilograms; you have to crawl on clouds and be able to destroy mountains; Heaven wants you to be weak and deceitful than demons, but you have to penetrate through The great road slays demons.”

Meng Yuanhou was a little excited and glared with anger. His half-mangled face looked even more ferocious and terrifying. No child in the whole courtyard dared to make a sound.

"It's such a pity that no one has climbed to the Old Ancestor Peak so far." Meng Yuanhou calmed down and felt a little ashamed of his previous gaffe, so his voice became much more easy-going, "Don't think that is impossible. To practice the Tao of defying heaven, one must constantly break through the limits. On average, a new disciple will climb up to the Ancestor Peak on his own every twenty or thirty years, and this person will always be the best in the process of cultivating the Tao in the future. "

"How long has it been since the last time someone climbed up?" Xin Youtao asked. He had never tried mountain climbing, but now he was a little interested.

"Thirteen years."

"Oh." Xin Youtao's interest dropped again. It seems that no one will succeed this year.

Meng Yuanhou decided to add a little more excitement, "I said that anyone who can climb up will be rewarded with a Bairun Dan. Well, it seems that it is not enough. Let's do it. I will add another gold soul and ten silver souls. Someone Want it?”

A few people were extremely excited, their eyes sparkling like night pearls, but most people still didn't understand what the golden soul and silver soul were.

Meng Yuanhou stretched out his right hand, and there was something like a seed lying in his palm, smaller than a fingernail. At this time, only a ray of morning light appeared on the horizon. The courtyard was gray, but Dujiao's palm released a ball of extremely bright light. The bright light almost submerged his arms, but strangely, the small seed in the core was still clearly visible.

Marquis Meng Yuan remained motionless, waiting for the sun to rise. The light in his hands gradually faded, and finally only a thin layer of halo remained.

"This is Jin Po. Who knows its origin and use?"

There are quite a few young people who know something about this.

But no one could overtake Xin Youtao. As soon as he finished speaking, he answered, "Jin Po is the essence of gold. It takes a thousand taels of gold to refine one tao of Jin Po. Its uses... are too many. ”

Meng Yuanhou nodded, "Yes, one soul comes out of a thousand taels. This thing is extremely rare and very valuable. When you become successful in cultivating Taoism and can forge your own special magic weapon, both gold soul and silver soul are necessary. Therefore, there is a saying that 'no soul can make a treasure'. Even if you are reluctant to use it to forge magic weapons, you can still use them to exchange for other items, such as houses and land. "

There was a trace of disdain in Meng Yuanhou's tone, and he obviously felt that the only correct use of gold and silver soul was to forge magical weapons.

The children held their breaths, and suddenly all their eyes turned to the Laozu Peak in the northeast. From a distance, it seemed that it was not that tall.

"One tael out of a thousand taels? Oh my god!" Daliang Shen Xiuming exclaimed in a low voice, "If I exchange it for gold, I will have enough food and clothing for the rest of my life."

The other teenagers laughed when they heard this. Although Shen Hao didn't know much about gold souls, he also knew that this kind of exchange was a loss-making transaction. "It must be very difficult to refine gold and silver souls. You actually want to exchange them for gold? Haha."

Daliang Shen Xiuming giggled, and when he thought of piles of gold and silver, he felt hot all over.

Marquis Meng Yuan put away the golden soul and did not show the other ten silver souls. "One hundred-moisture pill, one golden soul, and ten silver souls. I hope someone can get them this year. Those who successfully climbed the mountain in the past did not have this." kind of reward.”

At this time, a hesitant voice came from the edge of the courtyard, "Can I also participate in mountain climbing?"

Under the eaves, Zhang Lingsheng stuck his head out, his voice trembling slightly, and there seemed to be a glimmer of golden soul left in his eyes.

Meng Yuanhou's original intention was to encourage the new disciples to make progress. He thought for a while and said, "That's okay. Anyway, you have only opened the seventh orifice. Being able to climb the Ancestor Peak is also a skill."

The fights that followed were not as fierce as usual, and the new disciples all ate breakfast very quickly, and several village women were almost overwhelmed.

"Why aren't you interested?" Xiaoqiu put down his rice bowl, and he continued to eat bite after bite as usual, "But I'm only about halfway up, and we're not the only ones who are interested."

Many people had left the dining room, and the remaining children were whispering excitedly.

"That's when I remembered that if I work hard, they can't compare to you." Erliang Shen Xiuwei said disdainfully, and then turned his eyes to the table, "The Pei brothers are quite capable."

It is no longer a secret that the Pei family from Furong Mountain are from the demon clan. Pei Zihan and Pei Ziqi cannot make any friends and can only sit at a table alone. However, they are very strong. Not only are they superb in stick skills, but they also try every day in their spare time. Climbing up the mountain, I made rapid progress, and there were only a hundred steps away from Xiaoqiu.

The situation of their cousin Xiao Qingtao Pei Shurong is much better. She is now Fangfang's best friend. Fangfang has taught many disciples how to read and is very popular. With her help, Xiao Qingtao is also accepted. Okay, seven or eight little girls were gathered together, chattering about the new reward.

Shen Hao frowned and lowered his voice: "Brother Xiaoqiu, are you going to let Fangfang be friends with the little demon girl? Fangfang is from Yelin Town, or... or... you know."

The boy who was eating together let out a suppressed laugh. Xiaoqiu's story of stealing a bride was also no secret. Fangfang no longer ate at the same table with the boy from the same town, which was also related to this.

Xiao Qiu has long been accustomed to the teasing of her friends, and she also knows that the best way to deal with it is to accept it calmly, "Who Fangfang makes friends with is her own business, and others can't control it. Xiao Qingtao is a good person, and Pangshan Taoism believes in the Pei family." It’s not a demon, that’s enough.”

After breakfast, the young man from Yelin Town and Fangfang's group met up and left the village together to go to Laozu Peak in the northeast. The villagers they met on the road still maintained their original enthusiasm and politeness. No matter how many Pangshan disciples passed by, they would put down their hands. work, nod in greeting.

Xiao Qingtao must have been reminded. These days, she no longer pesters Xiao Qiu to ask questions. She follows Fangfang closely. Her voice is still sweet and sweet. Erliang Shen Xiuwei once whispered that she looks like A kitten that never leaves its owner.

When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, a large group of children had gathered there, and a few impatient ones had already set off to climb to the mountainside. As a result, they missed the personal guidance of Marquis Meng Yuan.

Seeing all the children coming, even Zhang Lingsheng put on tight clothes and was eager to try. Meng Yuanhou was very happy, "Don't underestimate mountain climbing. From the foot of the mountain to the top, there are a total of 11,111 stone steps. No more, no less. There are no obstacles in the first 4,000 levels. As long as you have enough energy, you can climb up. The middle 4,000 levels are a little more difficult. Several spells have been applied. Those with a strong will can grit their teeth and pass. The last 3,000 levels have more resistance. However, physical strength and willpower alone are not enough. The more you care about the difficulties in front of you, the harder it will be to move forward. You must know how to adjust your breath and meditate on inaction. "

"You've been crawling for so long and you're just saying this now?" Shen Hao expressed his dissatisfaction in a low voice.

Meng Yuanhou heard the complaint and smiled slightly. The ruined half of his face became even more horrifying, "As far as I know, none of you have passed the middle four thousand levels, so it's not too late at all."

Xiaoqiu felt very ashamed. It turned out that after many days of hard work, he was still struggling in the middle stage, and he was still far away from the final stage. His temper became more and more frustrated, and he did not say anything, but he secretly made up his mind that today he would definitely To achieve a breakthrough, you must at least experience how difficult the last three thousand steps are.

Meng Yuanhou taught some simple luck methods on the spot. The teenagers have not yet begun to practice Taoism. The so-called "luck" is just to regulate the inner energy and stimulate the body's potential, which is far from the level of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"I'm waiting for you at the top of the mountain. Please be careful. There are many restrictions on the last three thousand steps. Even the gaze of a grandmaster is difficult to penetrate, so I can't take care of you. Don't be too pushy. When you feel unwell, you should go in. Retreat - you have to make your own judgment." Meng Yuanhou waved his hand, "Go up the mountain."

More than a hundred children rushed to set off. Xiaoqiu and others were rich in experience and were not in a hurry. They moved forward step by step at a steady speed. After more than 500 levels, they began to surpass the impatient forerunners. After more than 1,000 levels, there were no more people in front of them. How many children.

Stimulated by the generous rewards, everyone was more energetic than usual. Usually, people started to turn around and go down the mountain after level 2,000. Today, no one gave up, and they all finished the 4,000 stone steps in one go.

According to Meng Yuanhou, the next four thousand steps will test willpower, but will cannot be seen or touched, and you cannot borrow it from your best friend. There are more and more laggards, but there are only two more. More than half of the people on the three hundred stone steps have stopped moving forward. No matter how dazzling the gold and silver souls are, they can't arouse their fighting spirit. ww. a.c

Xiao Qiu and Shen Hao walked at the front. "It's going to be level 7,000 soon!" Shen Hao said breathlessly. This was the first time he had climbed to this height.

He was not the only one who broke through the limit. Behind him, Pei Zihan and Pei Ziqi were working hard to climb up the dozen or so stone steps. Further down the mountain, at the corner, were Fangfang and Xiao Qingtao, and further behind were the Shen brothers. , Daliang far exceeded his usual level. He put a hand on his younger brother's shoulder and kept chanting "One thousand ounces out of one ounce".

Xiaoqiu held back his energy and didn't start to exert his strength until he reached the seven thousand stone steps. This was his usual level, and he wanted to completely leave it behind today.

Shen Hao couldn't do it anymore, so he waved his hand to signal Xiaoqiu to keep going. He had to rest for a while anyway. Although he knew that he would never want to go up again once he sat down, he couldn't control his tired legs.

Xiaoqiu climbed alone. Perhaps because he had a higher goal, the next thousand stone steps were not as difficult as he imagined. He climbed all the way in one go and finally saw a small stone tablet erected on the side of the road, with the words "eight thousand" simply engraved on it.

Xiaoqiu stopped and adjusted his internal breath according to the method taught by Meng Yuanhou. He completed the test of will. From then on, he had to combine will and skills to go further.

Just as Xiaoqiu was about to take a step, a shadow passed by him. This person walked so easily that the eight thousand stone steps seemed to be just a warm-up for him.

Xin Youtao turned around and glanced at Xiaoqiu, "Don't force yourself. Some abilities are innate. I have them, but you don't. It's that simple."
