Painting of the Nine Immortals Chapter 625: Stubborn girl
"Flicker, more than 20 years have passed."
Ling Xian looked at that majestic mountain, with emotion.
It has been more than twenty years since he was forced out by the three great royal families. Although this is nothing to a cultivator, especially for a cultivator with a high level, I am afraid that even a wrinkle is difficult to leave.
Take Lingxian as an example. How many years have passed, he still looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, too young.
But those star eyes are full of vicissitudes. Especially after experiencing one death, it made him realize his eyes, his eyes are full of wise light.
"Let's go, I hope I will teach real people, and I won't be surprised."
Ling Xian smiled graciously, and did not directly enter the gate, but immediately followed the stone steps of this ten thousand-foot-high peak, and stepped up the mountain.
This stone step, called Dengtianjie, has a total of 9,999 steps.
Three hundred years ago, it was used to test beginner disciples. Only by stepping past can they become disciples of Wan Jianzong.
The difficulty of this stone step is very high. It tests a person's perseverance and Taoism. People who lack perseverance can't make it through. In addition, with the changes of the times, the criteria for selecting disciples have gradually been replaced by talents and understanding. Therefore, ascending to the heavens has lost the value of existence.
As time passed, Ten Thousand Sword Sect no longer used it to select disciples, and those who started no longer needed to step through this stone step. However, since the Dengtian Stage was created by the ancestor of Wanjian, there is a spiritual symbol.
Therefore, Wan Jianzong has a rule. That is when the talent and understanding are not up to the standard, if someone can pass the ascending stage, then they can become a disciple of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
Unfortunately, three hundred years have passed, and there are very few who dare to try, and there are only few people who can go past.
On the one hand, it is difficult to climb to the heavens, and on the other hand, it is the changes of the times. People place too much emphasis on aptitude and understanding.
Once you find that you are not up to the standard, you lose your heart to the Tao. In this way, how can it be able to pass the test of the cultivator's standing ascend to the sky?
I have to say that this is the sorrow of an entire era, and it is also the sorrow of the entire world of immortality.
People value talent and understanding too much, just as mortals value power and money, so that everyone ignores the most beautiful and essential things.
"The sorrow of the times, manpower cannot change."
Ling Xian sighed lightly and followed the stone steps all the way up, intending to experience this stone step that values the essence of monks.
For him, this stone step has no difficulty at all. One is that he is physically unparalleled and does not feel tired, and the other is that he is very tenacious.
In this way, he walked slowly while feeling the beautiful scenery around him.
And just when he had passed more than two thousand steps, he suddenly found that there was a thin woman in the back not far in front.
The reason why she is said to be a woman is because she is wearing a pale yellow palace dress. There are a lot of patches on it, and the clothes are a bit old.
It seems that the woman's family background is not very good.
"Interesting, someone is actually challenging the ascending order, is it to worship the disciple of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect?" Ling Xian faintly smiled, and quickly walked to the woman, turning around to look at her.
I saw her pretty face, her brows and eyebrows not yet wide open, she looked like she was 13 or 4 years old. And it may be malnourished, her small face looks a bit sallow.
At this moment, she is clenching her teeth, sweating profusely, striding forward with difficulty.
As for Ling Xian's sudden appearance, she was slightly startled, but she quickly retracted her gaze. In those slightly dim eyes, there was only the ascending rank, and only firmness.
When he saw this, Ling Xian raised his brows, slightly surprised.
He could tell that this girl was just a mortal with no magic power, and was malnourished and had poor physical strength. However, she has reached more than two thousand levels, which is quite a difficult task for a mortal at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
This made Ling Xian interested, and he smiled and asked: "Little girl, you are here to ascend to the sky, but to worship Ten Thousand Sword Sect?"
After hearing this, the girl glanced at him as if she was looking at an idiot.
This made Ling Xian stunned, then he shook his head and laughed, understanding.
If it wasn't for worshipping the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, who would come here to climb the ladder? If it's a strong man like him, it's just for the sake of interest, but how can a mortal come here to find sin?
"I was wrong."
Ling Xian smiled and continued to ask: "Then you have failed the assessment of Wan Jianzong?"
When the voice fell, he wanted to give himself a slap. Isn't this nonsense? Who can climb the ladder after passing the assessment? Feel free to find yourself guilty.
Sure enough, when he said this, he saw the girl look at himself with that kind of idiot look.
This makes Ling Xian dumbfounded. In fact, he can't be blamed. Anyone who meets a stranger will always ask this kind of question subconsciously.
"Well, I was the one who made a mistake."
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile, and said, "What's your name?"
Hearing this, the girl didn't even look at him, she continued to gritted her teeth and challenged the ladder.
It's a pity that she is extremely weak at the moment. Therefore, every step of her is very difficult. Looking at it this way, let alone climbing to the top, I am afraid that she will not even be able to do half of it.
However, the girl's temperament is very tough, she clenched her teeth and was indomitable.
With that stubborn appearance, even Ling Xian was somewhat moved.
"What a gritty little girl."
Ling Xian exclaimed, and then became playful, and said with a smile: "But judging from your state, you will definitely not be able to climb the ladder. Would you like me to help you?"
This time, the girl turned her head and glanced at him, but her gaze was still looking at an idiot.
"This look is again...Where am I like an idiot?"
Ling Xian is speechless. Since his debut, this is the first time he has been ignored, and it is also the first time that he has been treated like this.
After hearing this, the girl curled her lips and finally spoke. Her voice is like a pearl falling on a jade plate, clear and sweet, and very beautiful.
"Looking at your age, you came here to climb the ladder again. You should be one of the people who failed the assessment. And you can't even guarantee yourself, why can you help me?"
Ling Xian was startled, then shook his head and burst into laughter, dare to feel that this little girl regarded herself as a person participating in the assessment.
However, he did not reveal his identity, and smiled and asked: "I just ask you, if I can really help you reach the top~IndoMTL.com~ Would you like it?"
Hearing this, the girl frowned and looked at the unseen stone steps ahead, obviously a little tempted.
But in the end, she shook her head slowly but firmly, and said: "No, if I cheat to worship Ten Thousand Sword Sect, then there will be nothing in the future."
"Yes, what a young girl with a tough temperament and no deception." Ling Xian exclaimed, her star pupils gleaming with appreciation.
He originally intended to test the girl to see how her temperament is, but if she agrees, then he will take her to the top of the mountain.
It’s just that there will inevitably be some disappointment. However, the girl said righteously and rejected the matter, which naturally made him a little appreciative.
But the girl's next sentence made him full of black lines.
"Anyway, it looks like you are not like a strong person, let alone a good person."
