Chapter 77 He Taught
The moment Zheng Fa stepped onto the plank road, he realized that this thing was just a mental exercise - it actually shook when he stepped on it!
The shaking is not large, but the feeling of being unstable can bring people a great sense of uneasiness.
When he stood there, gusts of cold and fierce mountain wind blew in his face, making his clothes rustle.
Looking down a little bit, the valleys ahead seem to be bottomless.
Anyone would be nervous taking part in the talisman test in such an environment, regardless of whether you have acrophobia or not.
If we add the time limit on the plank road below, this test would seem so deceptive - there is a big villain in Jiushan Sect!
Zheng Fa took two deep breaths, trying to forget about his surroundings and focus on the talisman on the next level of the plank road.
…
The Zhao Mansion, Senior Sister Zhang’s courtyard.
Looking at the people standing trembling in fear on the plank road in the picture, Sun Daoyu's eyes flashed with nostalgia.
He smiled and said to Senior Sister Zhang: "Seeing them really reminds me of myself back then."
Senior Sister Zhang glanced at him and said, "Why? You want to do it again?"
Sun Daoyu laughed dryly: "That's not the case... When I was on top, my legs were weak, and I didn't understand why I had to suffer like this."
"Now you understand?"
Sun Daoyu nodded, then sighed and said, "If you can't stay calm and concentrate on drawing talismans when facing these false dangers and difficulties, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand this kind of mentality even if you reach the immortal gate. But, it's better not to understand..."
The slight vicissitudes in these words made Senior Sister Zhang look up at him.
Sun Daoyu seemed to sigh twice, and then praised Senior Sister Zhang: "Based on the previous achievements of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, crossing two mountains is normal, and crossing four mountains is excellent. But if you want to enter my Nine Mountains Sect this time, I'm afraid six mountains is the minimum standard - of course, if you can step directly onto the ninth peak like you, breaking the record of the first disciples in ten thousand years, you naturally don't need to worry about this. Senior Sister Zhang, your shadow is still left on these nine peaks."
Hearing his words, the lady and others beside him couldn't help but look at Senior Sister Zhang.
They had always heard about the genius of Senior Sister Zhang, and only now did they have a direct feeling of her talent.
"From what you said, your junior fellow apprentice is targeting me?"
Who knows, Sun Daoyu shook his head and said: "He is still young, it is a good thing to have ambition... But to be honest, I am afraid that even Master does not think that he can really compare with your talent, Senior Sister Zhang. Your talent in the way of talismans is rare in a thousand years. Not to mention this time, I am afraid that no one will break your record in a thousand years."
Senior Sister Zhang shook her head, showing disapproval, but her eyes fell on the curtain in the air, watching Zheng Fa who was still climbing up.
…
Zheng Fa has already started to clear the map at this time, or it can be said that this test was designed to test the character of the novice disciples.
But it just happened to suit Zheng Fa. After so many days of training, Zheng Fa had almost turned the recognition of talismans into an instinct.
Once it becomes instinct, you will be able to give the correct solution and find the answer without even thinking or feeling fear.
He almost forgot that he was in mid-air, and the only thing in his eyes and mind was the symbol on the plank road.
The difficulty of the assessment increases gradually.
In the first two mountains, the probability of corresponding symbols appearing is very high, and one or two corresponding symbols will appear among every ten symbols.
This is not a difficult task for Zheng Fa, nor is it difficult for most people who can be here.
He could see in his peripheral vision that more than half of the people could walk to the third hill.
But starting from the third hill, the difficulty of the test suddenly jumped as if it had gone off the rails.
The frequency of corresponding talismans appearing has become less and less, and they will only appear once in every twenty talismans.
The plank road under his feet disappeared much faster - according to Zheng Fa's estimation, the time was shortened by about one third.
After about forty talismans appear on the next level of the plank road, if you don't take a step forward, the Yuan Fu on the plank road under your feet will disappear.
This sudden increase in difficulty caught many people off guard. Desperate faces were falling from the sky like dumplings, and screams were echoing in the valley one after another.
This situation will inevitably affect other people, leading to more and more people failing.
Zheng Fa saw the Seventh Young Master, who had just reached the third hill.
The Seventh Young Master originally did not look at the valley below. Instead, he raised his chin and used his hands and feet to crawl forward awkwardly but hard. However, when he heard the screams around him, he could not help but look down - and then he froze.
"Zhao Laosan!"
Zheng Fa called out to him.
"You are the third one!"
The Seventh Young Master responded with gritted teeth, but his hands and feet were obviously still a little weak, and he stood still and refused to move.
"Zhao Jingfan." Zheng Fa looked back at him and suddenly asked, "You've waited for ten years and scolded me for ten years. Are you willing to go back like this?"
“…”
Zheng Fa only said this, and seemed unwilling to persuade him any further, and just kept moving forward.
Looking at his back, the Seventh Young Master's eyes gradually turned red.
He was very familiar with Zheng Fa's state - the kind of numb obsession when applying the Tu Hai tactics.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He let out a breath and set his gaze on the next plank road. There seemed to be nothing else in his red eyes except these talismans that were familiar to him, made him sick, made him curse, and yet made him devote ten years of his life to.
The two of them walked one in front and one behind, one walking and the other crawling, moving numbly and steadily towards the Ninth Peak.
Gradually, most people were left behind by them.
Zhou Qianyuan, who was originally leading the way, seemed to have noticed something. He turned back and saw Zheng Fa rapidly closing the distance between him and him.
He was originally resentful of Zheng Fa, and also had some comparisons with him. When he saw Zheng Fa catching up with him, he looked nervous and flustered.
Zheng Fa didn't seem to see him. His eyes were fixed on the talismans and he didn't seem to care at all who was next to him.
The pace of others was getting slower and slower, but Zheng Fa seemed to be getting more and more into the state. He moved forward instinctively and his movements became faster and faster.
When he passed Zhou Qianyuan, Zheng Fa didn't even glance at him.
Zhou Qianyuan paused as he looked at Zheng Fa, who had left him behind without even looking back.
Then, he saw a figure behind Zheng Fa, crawling and rolling, but at a fairly fast speed, surpassing him.
The man seemed to see him, but stopped and stood up with his legs raised.
Zhou Qianyuan recognized the other person. This person had been standing beside Zheng Fa and muttering to himself, which was annoying. He was even too lazy to talk to him.
The man made an expression that was very familiar to him - the same arrogant look that had always appeared on his face before.
"I'm Zhao Jingfan."
Such a familiar sentence structure and tone made Zhou Qianyuan more and more certain that this person was deliberately imitating him, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed and angry.
After saying this, the Seventh Young Master was about to move forward, but then he stopped as if he had thought of something, pointed at Zheng Fa and said, "Oh, he taught me the art of talismans."
Zhou Qianyuan looked at his leaving figure, his expression cracked.
He understood what this man meant, and you still went to Zheng Fa to demonstrate.
I am his disciple and you can't beat me.
Zhou Qianyuan clenched his fists, quickened his pace and began to chase the two men.
…
In Senior Sister Zhang’s courtyard.
Sun Daoyu looked at his movements and sighed, "My junior fellow apprentice is upset..."
On the side, the lady and the eldest daughter looked at each other, both with guilty expressions on their faces...
