Die Wu glared at him and said, "How can you know if you don't try? If everyone thinks like you, there will be no immortals in this world!"

Zhou Xing grabbed his hair and said, "Then, why do you think of cultivating immortals?"

Die Wu said sadly: "In this world, I have no relatives. My parents died of illness before my eyes. Now my grandfather has passed away. People... People are too fragile... I'm really scared..."

Zhou Xing bowed his head and said nothing.

"Brother Xing, at least I want to try it." The girl said firmly.

Zhou Xing thought for a while and said, "Die Wu, your grandfather wants me to take care of you. If you really plan to go to Tianyuanzong, I will go with you!"

Die Wu looked directly at Zhou Xing and slowly said, "Brother Xing, thank you. Grandpa is right. You are a good person."

When Zhou Xing heard this, he couldn't help smiling bitterly, and said in secret, "Isn't this sending a good person card?"

Qingyun Mountain undulates continuously, and the highest peak is like a sharp sword thrusting into the sky. Although it is open to people from the lower reaches of the mountain, the highest can only climb halfway up the mountain. From the mountainside up, it is the boundary of Tianyuanzong, and no one enters.

Only on this day, the mountainside of Qingyun Mountain was crowded with people and it was very lively. Hundreds of people gathered here. Most of the elders in the family brought young and young girls from the clan to take part in the test. The youngest one was only eight or nine years old.

Zhou Xing and Die Wu are among these people. Die Wu's face was pale and looked very nervous, Zhou Xing seemed to relax a lot, he was just watching the excitement.

Standing on the steps was a young man wearing a white vestment with the word "Tian Yuan" embroidered on the heart of the vestment. He knew that he was a disciple of Tian Yuanzong.

Seeing that the number of young people is no longer increasing, they said to everyone: "Please be quiet, the evaluation of the qualifications of Tianyuanzong recruiting disciples will begin immediately. The evaluation is divided into three categories, and the scores are five, namely no wisdom root, inferior, medium, high, and special. In the past, my Tianyuan only recruited special and first-level introductory practices, but this year, my sect master showed great kindness, and made an exception to recruit middle-qualified people for introductory training. Next, I will immediately conduct the first evaluation: climbing. Climbing symbolizes the difficulty of road practice. You can also examine the perseverance of the human heart. From here to the end, there are 3,000 steps. Those who climb the top within one stick of incense are considered as superior qualifications, those who climb into the top within two sticks of incense are considered superior qualifications, and so on. Those who have not reached the summit can turn their heads and go down the mountain without having to participate in the following evaluation."

As soon as the youth's voice fell, a dozen parents left with their children.

Zhou Xing also felt outrageous when he heard that, three thousand steps, at most only three sticks of time, for mortals, it is simply a fantasy. In addition, he always felt familiar with the young man, as if he had seen it somewhere, but no matter how he recalled it, he just couldn't remember it.

"Let's go back too." He said to Die Wu.

Die Wu looked firm and shook his head gently.

"No? You want to participate?" Zhou Xing asked in surprise.

Die Wu didn't answer, and began to move her muscles and bones.

Zhou Xing frowned, snorted, and said, "Then I'll participate too."

Zhou Xing knew that he was a mortal at the moment, a mortal body, but he had no choice, he just bit the bullet and gave his life to accompany the gentleman.

Zhou Xing hoped that the three sticks of incense would be thicker and longer, but he was disappointed. The young man pulled out the ordinary incense from his sleeve, and he would break if he tried to defecate.

At this time, there were 54 people still to participate in the evaluation. Everyone consciously arranged their positions. The adults all retreated to both sides of the road, looking at their children worriedly.

The young man didn't use the igniting object, but just blew his breath, the incense head burned, everyone's eyes lit up, and they rushed to the steps.

Die Wu also ran, because he was used to running mountain roads since he was a child, and his speed was not slow, while Zhou Xing complained so much. He only ran forty to fifty steps, his legs were as heavy as lead, and he was sweating. .

He raised his head to look at Die Wu, the latter's speed was still accelerating, he had to grit his teeth to keep up, every step was painful.

During the period, Die Wu turned around twice, Zhou Xing tried his best to behave easily, but the distance from her has become farther and farther.

After running up to nearly a thousand steps, Zhou Xing could no longer squeeze a trace of physical strength, and fell helplessly to the ground, out of breath.

After a while, he struggled to get up. Looking down, there was no one. Everyone has survived the first stick of incense, except him.

Die Wu kept moving forward without stopping.

Zhou Xing sweated like rain, breathing heavily, but he would not give up, his eyes became sharp, he turned his head up, and ran again.

When Zhou Xing dragged his shaky body to climb the third thousandth step, the eight sticks of incense were all burned. Along the way, he met many people who were downhill due to overtime. He hoped to see Die Wu among them for a while, and worried about meeting her for a while, and he was very conflicted.

"Three sticks of incense have been burned, don't go up." Many descendants said to him.

Zhou Xing did not hear. There are too many bad people in this world, he can't rest assured, he must see Die Wu safe and sound.

There was no one on the steps. Zhou Xing was resting while enjoying the surrounding scenery. Seeing that there were dozens of steps ahead, he hesitated whether to go up.

The young man in white who was in charge of the evaluation appeared on the high platform, frowned slightly and looked down, and said, "The first evaluation is over. You are not qualified. You can go back."

"Where is Die Wu? Is she qualified?" Zhou Xing asked concerned.

The young man nodded and said: "Thirty-one people passed the first evaluation. One named Diewu. She was the fifth to reach the finish line. She performed well. It only took two sticks of incense time. Superior qualifications."

"What about her?"

"They went to the next evaluation."

Zhou Xing thought for a while and asked, "Can I go and see? To be honest, I am a little worried about her."

The young man smiled and said: "I said before the evaluation that if you have more than three sticks of incense, you don't have to participate in the next item, instead of not being unable to participate. Only if you give up will it be considered a failure."

Zhou Xing’s eyes lit up and said, “Okay, I’m not doing anything. It’s not bad to go and have a look. Of course, I know that even if I pass the next test by chance, because the first one fails, neither of you Will want me, but I have to protect Die Wu, so ah, take me there."

The white-clothed youth really laughed this time and said, "Fuck by? You really dare to think, don’t you know that the first evaluation is the easiest? I kindly tell you that you can call out the following evaluation at any time With the word'give up', then I will immediately take you out of the examination room. Don't make any misunderstandings. This rule is not set for you, it is the same for everyone."

"Walk, who is afraid of who!" Zhou Xing followed the youth in dissatisfaction.
