0047_Tests everywhere

I feel that I have never been in awe of the elder brother, and he has to take full responsibility.When I saw him, eight out of ten times I had to be teased by him like a child, and the other two times he was too busy to care about the game and could only rush two candies to me...

I really, really, can especially understand the little martial uncle's resentment towards his senior brothers and sisters.It's a pity that the little uncle doesn't like to mention those black histories, and he will beat anyone who mentions it to him, otherwise the little uncle and I still have a lot of common topics to talk about.

I am 15 years old this year, and it is time for the Yunxia Sect's regular selection meeting. According to strict rules, if I pass the selection this year, I will officially become a Yunxia Sect disciple.

Of course, this cutscene is actually optional, the group of disciples who joined Yunxia Sect ten years ago all called me senior brother... Well, there are more people called Second Young Master Pei.

Normally, if my father directly accepts me as a disciple, I don't need to take this regular entrance exam.Just like in the non-entrance exam year, if a senior from the Nascent Soul stage or the Transformation Stage stage brought a child back and said that he wanted to accept an apprentice, he would accept it directly. It is impossible to wait anxiously for the ten-year exam.Although ten years is nothing to the powerful, the exam is even more nothing to the powerful. Why wait for it?Don't you know if your disciple is qualified enough?

But my father dislikes my talent in sword repair, just like he disliked my brothers and sisters back then, so my brothers and sisters took part in the unified entrance examination of the whole sect, and I also have to take it.

Everywhere people are divided into three, six, and nine classes, and disciples are the same.There are poor little registered disciples who have been accepted by the master but hardly get the master's instructions, there are formal disciples who have obtained the formal organization and can hold their heads high and chest out wherever they go, and there are also those who are closer than their sons and daughters. personal disciple.

Eldest Brother is actually the head's direct disciple, but it's obvious that titles such as the head's successor and future head are more popular. In comparison, the identity of "personal disciple", which is originally very enviable and jealous, is much more euphemistic.

Moreover, what the big brother wants to inherit is the current master's experience in managing Yunxia Sect, not the inheritance of cultivation, so his direct disciple is a bit different from the conventional direct disciple of the monks—however, being regarded as a relative The son sees, no, it should be closer than his own son, this is the same.

My twins and I belonged to the one that had to be classified as official disciples due to blood relationship with my father.The old man accepts us passively. What he expects is to accept a personal disciple who can truly inherit his sword repair mantle, who is closer than his sons and daughters.

Tsk.My brothers and sisters and I both expressed that we are waiting to see what kind of flowers the old man can produce.He didn't even think about what kind of dandy he himself was before, and he still wanted to find a natural swordsman to be his apprentice?Still dislike us?

My dad: "What do you think?"

Me and the twins: "...no."

My father said, as a sword cultivator, you are so reckless, how dare you still have the face to complain that I despise you?How can you tell me not to dislike you?

0048_self-reflection

I signed up for this year's selection conference, and I was treated equally, and I was thrown away from the mountain climbing project.

The moment I appeared at the foot of the mountain was amazing. I don't want to describe the specific process, but I can only say that fortunately, I had an estimate and I was stuck.Before anyone came up to talk to me, I rushed up the mountain first, and then a group of people followed me without even thinking about it.

Don't make trouble, children, I am a Dzogchen in the Qi training period, and I am taking the path of sword cultivation. Apart from physical training, there are not many people of my age who can beat me in physical fitness.

Don’t look at me as a nerd, but I just don’t want to see people in my nerd, but there is still a whole mountain for me to do activities. I just practice swords for hours every day, and I still run up and down the mountain from time to time to let myself go. My physical fitness is very good of.

I can run at such a fast speed for a day until I reach the top of the mountain and face the next formal test that I don’t know the content of.

Of course, if I think so, I will not turn around and warn them. Anyway, when they encounter a checkpoint, they will naturally have to stop. It is not so easy to go straight all the way. It is so firm that the illusion along the way cannot be formed.

And I, just...not so determined.

When the scenery in front of me suddenly changed drastically, instead of concentrating on vigilance, the first thing I did was self-reflection.

The hallucinations on the mountaineering road during the main peak selection meeting are all elementary, and are only useful for the xinxing of the foundation-building stage and below.If the mind has reached the completion of the Foundation Establishment Stage or the Golden Core Stage and above, the illusion will be invalid for it.

Ideally, the xinxing level and the cultivation level should be the same, but in reality there are often some differences.For example, if the cultivation base is built up with pills, the xinxing level will generally be lower than the cultivation base level, and it is easy to lose control or even go crazy.Another example is the sword cultivator known for his firmness, his xinxing level is often higher than his cultivation level, his foundation is extremely solid, and he can leapfrog to challenge other professions.

The foundation building stage hacked the Jindan stage and severely damaged the Yuanying stage, but if there are such rumors that attract people's attention, nine out of ten of the foundation building stage are sword cultivators.

It has to be said that in this cultivation world, the sword cultivator is the most respected and the most monks choose to take the road of sword cultivating. This kind of counterattack style that regards leapfrogging and killing monsters as the norm is indispensable. It has attracted a lot of fans and created a a huge mass base.So much so that when a monk chooses a lifelong career, as long as he is not particularly attracted to other professions or has no talent for swordsmanship—such as the little master—then he will choose to be a swordsman.

Like, that's what I chose.

As a monk who has deliberately suppressed my cultivation base in the Dzogchen realm during the Qi training period for many years, and I can build a foundation whenever I want, my xinxing level has already entered the foundation building stage, and considering that the xinxing level of sword cultivators is generally higher than that of a sword cultivator. The level of cultivation is half a level to one level higher, and my xinxing level is not to mention entering the Jindan stage, at least the foundation building stage of Dzogchen should be more appropriate.

But as evidenced by the illusion, it did not.

Judging from the degree of solidification of the illusion, let alone the Great Perfection, it is far from reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and it can barely be regarded as the middle stage.This is the xinxing level that other professions may reach after suppressing their cultivation for many years, not sword cultivators.

The old man's dislike is so right. For a guy like me who follows the crowd and chooses to become a sword cultivator, if it weren't for his own son, no sword cultivator in the transformation stage can accept me as a disciple.Thinking about it this way, my father is indeed my real father.

0049_The long stone steps

From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there is a road in the shape of stone steps from the main peak of Yunxiazong.Although it looks in disrepair and overgrown with weeds, the road still exists after all.Unlike other peaks, if you want to go up on foot, it is a bumpy road, especially our Jianxiu Peak, which is simply asking for trouble.

This stone step was originally built because the foundation of Yunxiazong was shallow at that time, and it needed the support of the mortal world, mainly because they needed them to send children with spiritual roots to Yunxiazong. Visiting or visiting relatives, this road has come in handy.

However, with the prosperity of Yunxia Sect, like other great sects, it has less and less contact with the mortal world.Ordinary people are not allowed to visit and visit relatives at all. In principle, disciples must go down the mountain after they can hold the sword, so the only use of this stone step is during the selection meeting, and it is not the only way up the mountain.

If candidates are willing to climb up from other directions, Yun Xiazong has no objections.Relatively speaking, there is no way out in other directions, and it will be more difficult to walk. Moreover, there is no shortage of magic beasts in these directions than the stone steps. Overall, it is more difficult.If the candidates are willing to challenge themselves, Yun Xiazong really won't have any opinions.However, when he was eliminated, Yunxia Sect would not make an exception because he chose a more difficult path.

Magic was used to build this stone step back then. In order to set off the brilliance of the Yunxia Sect and play a certain defensive role, the stone step was covered with formations.Although Yunxiazong has paid less attention to this stone step in recent years, it is not too much trouble to maintain the formation from time to time.

So in fact, as long as the members of the Yunxia Sect are not dead, there is no problem of dilapidated stone steps. However, the seniors who preside over the exam have a bit of a bad taste. , turn around and be right, please proceed with caution'.

However, in the short period of time from when I fell at the foot of the mountain to when I was separated from other candidates, I only heard more than one person say: "Look, such a broken road means that as long as you successfully enter the Yunxia Sect, you will be separated from the future." The world of mortals has a bright future. You don’t have to worry about birth, old age, sickness, and death, and you don’t have to worry about daily necessities, you will enter a brand new world.”

Purely uplifting tone.

So things like appearance are sometimes not that important.When the connotation is good enough, no matter how bad the appearance is, the wonderful meaning can be interpreted. When the connotation is a little off, such as the Hehuan sect, no matter how upright they behave, outsiders will think they are playing so-and-so.

0050_The first illusion

On the way up the mountain, the first illusion that stopped me was very powerful, and it didn't mean step by step at all. The scene when I came up was the scene when I died in my previous life.My point of view is also my own point of view in my previous life. Once again, I watched the overwhelming snow rush towards me and bury me.Lost all light, all sound, no air, only cold...

No, I didn't even have time to feel the cold at that time, almost as soon as the snow hit me... I should have died, or at least lost my ability to perceive the outside world...

Although I recalled a lot in my life, those 'thoughts' all happened in the moment when I was covered by snow. I didn't even really know in what position I was buried under the snow. It can be guessed that under such a violent impact, I must have been thrown down, and I should be in a lying position.

Oh, this illusion is not well done, it's fake.

When I thought this way, the scenery in front of me changed again, and I returned to the climbing stone steps of Yunxia Zongzhu Peak.The coldness of the snow still lingers on my body, but it is no longer the chill that heralds death, but the freezing effect of the ice root.

In other words, the desperate coldness I felt in the illusion just now was caused by myself.If I was frozen to death just now, I myself was the murderer.

This is just a low-level phantom array, and people need to rely on things that actually exist nearby to kill people.Advanced phantom formations can kill people directly with imagination.Just like those legendary psychological experiments in the previous life, in a closed, dark and silent environment, a slight swipe of the wrist, coupled with the sound of water droplets, can make people who have been locked in this environment for a long time think that they have been cut He cut his wrist and in what he thought he was bleeding to death really died, unscathed.

Although these rumors in the previous life may be just rumors and exaggerated stories, in this life, Magic Array can really turn them into reality.

I slapped my clothes a few times, as if to slap the snow away.After shooting, I felt that I was quite bored, so I put down my hands and continued to walk up as calmly as possible.

——There are still many people on the top of the mountain watching every move of the candidates. I have reason to believe that the number of people staring at the mirror watching me is definitely the first. It's much more interesting, but I'm sure I'm among the top viewers, and I still have to maintain my image.
