Chapter 115: Too Short
An hour later, the Qiao Residence was in chaos.
Xiao Feng stood in the yard holding a black sword, with a demon corpse lying at his feet.
A large yellow fox, its stomach ripped open, dead beyond belief.
The Qiao family members surrounding them all had pale faces at this moment. A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes even fell to the ground, pointing his finger at the demon corpse and shaking constantly.
“This, this.”
It turned out that the new wife was actually transformed from a yellow fox. When the man thought of the scenes of him and this monster making love in the past few nights, he suddenly felt nauseous and his face looked extremely ugly.
"master!"
Several servants shouted and rushed forward to help him up from the ground, and someone hurriedly handed him a pill to calm his mind.
After holding the pill in his mouth for a long time, the head of the Qiao family slowly recovered. He pushed away the servants and bowed deeply to Xiao Feng.
"Sir, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!"
"You help us kill this monster today. If you need my Qiao family's help in the future, just let me know. Regardless of whether I can do it or not, I, Qiao Rongkun, will never frown!"
"Master Qiao doesn't have to do this."
Xiao Feng sheathed his sword and waved his hand lightly as if he had just done something insignificant.
"I am not doing this to gain any benefit from the Qiao family. Even if this monster is hiding in an ordinary person's home, I will definitely kill it."
"Sir, you are so magnanimous, I am ashamed to be inferior to you!"
Qiao Rongkun was filled with admiration, and the beautiful ladies of the Qiao family nearby looked at Xiao Feng with affectionate eyes, and their legs couldn't help but slightly clamped and twisted a few times.
"By the way, I still don't know your name? Where is your residence?"
Qiao Rongkun didn't notice other people's reactions. When he saw Xiao Feng seemed to be leaving, he quickly asked behind him.
"This one?"
Xiao Feng shook his sleeves casually, without even turning his head, and gave a random pseudonym.
"Xuantian Society, Xiao Yan."
"What the hell? Xiao Yan?"
Early the next morning, Wei Changtian looked at Wang Daochang opposite him and suddenly couldn't control his expression, his mouth opened wide.
"Yes, sir. According to the spies, there is indeed a man named Xiao Yan in Xuantian Society. His height is very similar to the Xiao Feng you mentioned."
Wang Daochang didn't notice his expression, and was still reporting the situation with his head down: "This Xiao Yan just showed up yesterday and left again. I'm still checking where he is now."
"Yes, I understand."
Wei Changtian shut his mouth, thinking that the protagonist was really casual in choosing a pseudonym and didn't even bother to change his surname.
Should Xiao Yan’s next sentence be “the third stage of fighting power”?
It really is the fighting spirit turning into a horse, so terrifying.
"Keep an eye on Xiao Xiaoyan, but don't act rashly. If there is any emergency, remember to tell me in time. If there is nothing else, come and tell me every three days."
"I understand, sir."
Wang Daochang accepted the order in a deep voice and soon said goodbye and left.
This time he actually parked his carriage outside the alley and walked here.
Not long after he left, Wei Changtian also took Zhang San on a carriage, loaded with several boxes of gifts, and headed straight for Jiuding Mountain in the north of the city.
The Tianluo Sect, whose headquarters is located at Jiuding Mountain in Shuzhou, is called "the number one evil sect in the world" by famous and upright sects.
This “number one in the world” does not refer to scale, but strength.
There are not many core members in the entire Tianluo Sect. Including inner and outer disciples, there are only a total of more than a thousand people, but each of them is gifted and has considerable strength.
The leader Qin Zhengqiu has even reached the second-grade realm, which is rare in the entire Daning.
The reason why the people of Tianluo Sect are so powerful is mainly because the sect has a supreme internal skill - Tianluo Gong.
Compared with other internal skills, Tianluo Gong can not only greatly improve the practitioner's training speed, but the internal force it converts is also extremely powerful, which also gives it an advantage when fighting with others.
If it follows the routine of general martial arts novels, such magical skills must have some side effects.
Either "one must castrate oneself first", or "it is easy to go astray", or "drink human blood and eat human flesh" and so on.
But the fact is, Tianluo Gong is just like other martial arts, and has no side effects.
As a result, other sects naturally became eager to make a move and covet the Tianluo Gong.
But how could the Tianluo Sect be willing to "share magical powers"? In the end, the two sides started fighting.
Over the past few hundred years, there have been dozens of recorded "sieges on Jiuding Mountain" in the martial arts world, and all of them ended in failure for the "righteous".
Of course, the Tianluo Sect was not without losses as well. Many people died every time, which ultimately resulted in the number of disciples never increasing. At the same time, it also gained the label of "the devil's cult."
It can be said that there is a bit of the meaning of possessing a treasure in it.
However, even a clay man can show some temper, let alone the masters of the Tianluo Sect.
Didn’t you call me a “cultist”?
Well, then I will simply call myself the Demon Sect! In the following hundred years, the thoroughly enraged Tianluo Sect began to abandon itself, not only satisfied with "defending and counterattacking", but also took the initiative to clean up those sects and schools that had had a grudge against them, and they would destroy all the sects without leaving any trace.
The bloody storm in the martial arts world continued for several decades until it eased after Ning Yongnian ascended the throne.
It is said that Ning Yongnian reached some kind of agreement with the Tianluo Sect, but the specific content is unknown.
".Sir, that's about it."
When the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Jiuding Mountain, Zhang San also gave a general account of the situation of Tianluo Sect.
Wei Changtian looked up at the towering mountains in front of him and thought that it would be great if he could use such power for his own benefit.
But unfortunately, this is highly unlikely.
Although Qin Caizhen is the saint of the Tianluo Sect, her status in the sect is actually average.
Because Qin Zhengqiu has four sons besides her daughter.
That is to say, Wei Changtian has four uncles. Compared with his married daughter and his "grandson" whom he has only met a few times, these four are the people Qin Zhengqiu really cares about, and they are also the "future" of Tianluo Sect.
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian, accompanied by the Tianluo Sect disciples who came to greet him, stepped into the mountain gate and began to walk up the stone steps step by step to the top of the mountain.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Brother, how many steps of the road to heaven do you think our nephew can climb?"
In a pavilion halfway up Jiuding Mountain, two middle-aged men were standing side by side, looking at the winding mountain road in the distance.
Ordinary people would not be able to see anything at this distance, but once a cultivator enters the fifth level, he or she will be able to gain "clear ears and sharp eyes", so they can clearly see the people who are climbing the mountain.
"I heard from my younger sister that all sixty-four meridians are open."
The person being asked was wearing a black robe and answered nonchalantly, "It should be able to reach the hundredth step."
"I can't guess."
Another purple-robed man laughed and said, "Although this boy has decent talent, there are many people in our sect who have opened up all sixty-four meridians, and less than half of them can climb the 100th step."
"It doesn't matter."
The man in black robe said calmly: "Whether he can or not, he is still a member of the Wei family."
"Brother, what you said is a bit too heartless."
The purple-robed man shook his head helplessly: "Although his surname is Wei, he is also my sister's son, and he has half of my Qin family's blood in him."
“.”
The man in black robe didn't say anything else, his eyes still looking at the mountain road.
At this moment, the ant-sized black shadows in his field of vision temporarily stopped in front of a section of stone stairs with a clearly different style, as if they were communicating something.
"Road to Heaven?"
On the mountain road, Wei Changtian looked at the two or three hundred pure black stone steps in front of him, with a puzzled expression: "What is this?"
"Master Wei, this is another treasure of my sect besides the Tianluo Gong."
The Tianluo sect disciple wearing a green short shirt bowed and introduced: "It is used to test the talent of practitioners."
"Can this thing measure talent?"
Wei Changtian suddenly recalled the overused plot in countless fantasy novels, and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the further you go, the higher your talent will be?"
"Your Excellency is extremely intelligent."
The green-shirted disciple flattered him and confirmed this idea.
It's true. Wei Changtian was speechless for a while. After a long silence, he asked, "I have all sixty-four meridians open, which is already a top talent. Do I still need to take this path?"
"Sir, talent is not the same as aptitude."
The green-shirted disciple bowed his head and said, "You will know once you walk this road. This is what the leader has told us to do. Please don't make things difficult for me."
Talent is not the same as aptitude? Good fellow, you are here to give me a Chinese lesson on synonym analysis? ? Wei Changtian complained in his heart, but since they had brought up Qin Zhengqiu, he couldn't refuse.
"Okay, I'll go for a walk then."
"Thank you for your understanding, sir."
The green-shirted disciple breathed a sigh of relief, and finally explained, "Young Master, the Tongtian Road can only accommodate one person. We will wait for you at the front first, and when you are exhausted and can no longer walk, we will come and take you up."
"Oh, okay."
Wei Changtian nodded, and several disciples carried several large boxes of gifts and took Zhang San with them to go up first from the path next to them.
Looking at the people standing at the end of the black stone steps, Wei Changtian began to recall the plots of the online novels he had read in his previous life.
What about every step he took, he felt like a heavy burden was pressing down on him, what about the protagonist, although he could no longer hold on, he still gritted his teeth and climbed up, showing his indomitable will, what about taking this opportunity to break through the bottleneck of cultivation? Why can these stone steps measure a person's talent?
There must be other uses. I wonder if I can get a few pieces back. Just like the Immortal Locking Stone, Liang Zhen said that the first set of inner armor will be made soon . Wei Changtian walked up while thinking about random things, and soon he walked out of dozens of steps.
It was not until this moment that he realized something was wrong.
Hmm? Why don't I feel anything unusual? Is it because I walked too short? After all, this road has 300 steps.
Wei Changtian pondered for a moment, then continued to climb nearly a hundred steps before slowly slowing down his pace.
It wasn't because he felt any pressure, but because he finally realized one thing -
It seems like this road to heaven has no effect on me at all!
I'm already halfway through the journey, and apart from feeling a little dizzy from the pure black stone steps, I haven't felt any discomfort at all! Is it because I've traveled through time? Or is it because of the system?
But no matter what the reason is, I am now facing a problem. Should I continue walking?
Wei Changtian originally wanted to try his best to test his limits.
But now it looks like this, as long as I am willing, there is a high probability that I can go all the way to the top without even taking a breath.
So the question is, how much should you walk to be in line with your "normal" level without being noticed?
I walked too many steps at once, and I certainly couldn't explain where this talent came from.
If he walked too little, Qin Zhengqiu would easily look down on him. Damn, if I had known earlier, I should have asked others how many steps they could walk! Wei Changtian walked slower and slower, and at the same time, he kept looking up at the people waiting in front of him.
It was impossible for him to really ask "What level have I reached now?", so he could only try to make a rough judgment based on the reactions of those Tianluo Sect disciples.
I just can't see clearly!
The two sides are now separated by about a hundred stone steps, about two hundred meters.
Wei Changtian could only see those people still standing there, but he couldn't see their expressions clearly.
Stay calm! Analyze it! The disciple said before that as long as I can't hold on any longer, he will find a way to pick me up.
But now I am clearly walking very slowly, but that person is still not moving. Does this mean that this distance is still within the "normal" range?
Otherwise he should have been ready to come and pick me up at any time.
That's right! The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, so he didn't stop, but instead sped up a little, and stepped up dozens of steps in a row.
There are a total of 300 steps leading to heaven, and he has now walked two-thirds of them, which is more than 200 steps.
As they got closer to the finish line, the expressions of the people above finally began to become clear.
Except for Zhang San who looked confused, the others had red faces, round eyes, wide open mouths, and their bodies were still motionless.
But at this moment Wei Changtian finally understood why they didn't move.
The reason for the relationship is not that you are too close, but that you are too far away !
He stopped walking instantly, thinking to himself, "Oh no!" Judging from the reactions of these disciples, he must have accomplished some extraordinary "feat" and the distance he walked was probably far beyond the normal level.
Although this move is undoubtedly very pretentious, I really don’t want to be pretentious!
Last time, he accidentally chopped two inches into the Immortal Locking Stone with his sword, but he was still able to use the "Guichen Sword" to fool people.
But what excuse could he come up with this time? Wei Changtian wailed in his heart, and at the same time hesitated whether he should show an exhausted and unsustainable state.
But before he could make any move, he saw the leaves around him suddenly shaking rapidly, and then two middle-aged men appeared from nowhere and stood at the end of the road with looks of astonishment.
"Two hundred and eighteen steps, two hundred and eighteen"
The one in black robe was trembling all over and kept repeating the number.
The one wearing purple robe was slightly better. Although he was also extremely surprised, at least he noticed Wei Changtian's current situation.
He looked at Wei Changtian in disbelief and suddenly shouted:
"Can you still leave?!"
"this."
After hearing this, Wei Changtian hesitated for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Since it has come to this, why not just pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger! Just pretend to be a tiger! Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and took another step in the extremely shocked eyes of everyone, and continued to walk up step by step, neither fast nor slow.
Two hundred and twenty steps, two hundred and fifty steps, two hundred and eighty steps, two hundred and ninety-nine steps Three hundred steps. After crossing the last stone step, Wei Changtian stopped in front of the purple-robed man who was dumbfounded and unable to utter a word with his mouth open. He uttered five words calmly.
"Three hundred steps, too short."
