Chapter 24 The White Stone Stele (1)
It was noon, and it was supposed to be a normal meal time. Although according to common sense, Ligongshan Gate would arrange for people to be introduced to the sect, but it was very abnormal that there was no one at the stone tablet entering the mountain gate.
There is only a white stone tablet on the mountain road.
There are two simple words engraved on the stone tablet, Li Palace.
Not far behind the stone tablet, nearly a hundred young girls were coming up panting, and then looked at the empty face in front of them with a look of surprise.
Although the mountain road is not long, they have spent a lot of effort along the way. It seems that the more they go, the more they are, the more unbearable the gravity becomes. It is difficult to move forward on the steep slopes. When they climb to the top, they will naturally feel like they are filled with lead, but their feelings are even more serious, and many people collapse directly on the ground.
The young man in white robe looked at the stone tablet in front of him, raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and said in confusion: "Why are there no one here to welcome us?"
He turned his head and looked at Zhou Luo, a young man in the green robe beside him.
Zhou Luo frowned slightly, looked at the people who were calm, pretending to be calm, or even those who were unbearable, and said softly: "Maybe there is a reason why the guards asked us to hike and climb the mountain. There is no reason for the people who left the palace to ignore us. There must be other profound meanings here."
Zheng Qian, the young master of the Zheng family from Youzhou who was shaking the folding fan, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "We are all people who have entered the Astrodiagnosis stage, and they are all potential forces that are likely to become practitioners. For us, ordinary mountain roads will not be so difficult to walk. Perhaps there are obstacles set by seniors from the palace along the way, resulting in increased gravity. If I expected it, the mountain climbing process should be part of the assessment."
The youngest He Zhengrong just looked at the palace on the mountain, without saying a word, his eyes were slightly shining with bright colors, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Shen Jiyue should be the best performer among the girls who were traveling with her. She never breathed a lot and her face was slightly rosy. Listening to what Zheng Qian said, he pondered for a moment and said, "There was no abnormality in the first part of the mountaineering. After the middle part, the gravity suddenly increased, but it was not too abrupt, and it seemed that she felt tired unconsciously.
The purpose of climbing is not only to bear gravity, but more importantly, the test of will, which is to increase gravity in thought and spirit. Physical disability is secondary. Many people are pale and the problem is obviously more serious."
Almost most of the nearly 100 mountaineering candidates were unbearable, and some even had a pale complexion, as if they had a serious illness. These situations were not reflected during the mountaineering process. Perhaps many of them did not notice anything during the mountaineering journey, and the signs suddenly appeared before and after arriving at the stone tablet.
In a canyon, Lu Jiuge looked at the teenagers who climbed the mountain, and said with a slight brow, "Shen Jiyue, Zheng Qian and others are indeed worthy of going further than others, and they also look at the problem more closely."
Nan Sheng said dismissively: "This is a question that can be seen through just thinking about it. It cannot prove how high their qualifications are, but their willpower is indeed the best in it."
Lu Jiuge smiled slightly and said, "Because you stand at different angles, of course you can make the bystanders clear. The pressure on the will is invisible and thoughtless. It is difficult for them to perceive during the mountaineering process. It is like a person moving in a direction. He doesn't feel anything at first. After paying attention to the strange environment around him, he will suddenly wake up and get lost. This is a potential perception problem."
Nan Sheng was thinking, and she looked at Li Mengzhou who was still standing at the end of her beautiful eyes and said in surprise: "Senior sister, there seems to be nothing wrong with that guy. He actually acted more relaxed than Chen Jiyue, Zheng Qian and others, and there was not even a drop of sweat on his face."
Lu Jiuge was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have realized who the guy Nan Sheng said was. He frowned and said, "It's strange. This young man has not entered the visual stage, but his willpower seems to be amazing. Perhaps he has been exposed to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or for other reasons, but his performance is indeed worthy of attention."
......
Under the magnificent light at noon, there is a large and gentle slope in front of the stone tablet, composed of green meadows and hills. However, these green meadows have been covered with snow and have long lost their green intentions, but they are still very moving pictures. There are dozens of complex lanes appearing in the paintings. A few flowers and trees are planted at a distance next to the road, which are irregularly dotted among the hillsides, making them extremely beautiful.
Li Mengzhou did not care about the voices of the people around him. He just looked at the mountain view silently, then remained silent for a long time, and walked towards the stone tablet.
Soon, Li Mengzhou's actions also attracted everyone's attention, and their eyes gathered towards the stone tablet following Li Mengzhou's footsteps.
The young man in white robe who was squatting next to the stone tablet frowned and looked up at Li Mengzhou. If Li Mengzhou had not been riding alone with a horse out of the city, perhaps he would have forgotten that there was such a young man among the people he was traveling with.
Compared to most people's luxurious clothes and fair skin, Li Mengzhou looks out of place and incongruous in a thick dress and dark skin.
The young man in white robe moved his position with some disgust, as if he was afraid that the dirty things on Li Mengzhou would be contaminated with him.
Li Mengzhou just glanced at him lightly and then looked on the stone tablet.
Perhaps this stone tablet is just a signpost, indicating that crossing the stone tablet means entering the Ligong Mountain Gate.
But Li Mengzhou could clearly feel that the word Li Gong engraved on the stone tablet is rich in powerful power.
He had reason to believe that the person who engraved these two words must be a great monk.
He reached out and touched the words on the stone tablet, and a cool feeling spread throughout his body through his fingertips, which made him feel refreshed.
He seemed to be stiff in place, and there was nothing else in the world except stone tablets.
Everyone was watching Li Mengzhou's strange behavior.
Lu Jiuge and Nan Sheng in a canyon are the same.
Nan Sheng said with contempt: "That guy is quite good at finding attention. He was originally a little man who didn't care about unknown people. Now everyone's eyes are on him."
Although Lu Jiuge was very surprised why Nan Sheng was so unbearable to the boy, she didn't say anything, just silently watching Li Mengzhou touching the stone tablet, looking thoughtful.
A third person appeared in the canyon, as if he had been standing here from the beginning, and it was not abrupt. He was wearing a white robe, with a sword behind his back, and stood with a faint smile on his lips, and he also stared at Li Mengzhou.
"He was the first to discover the problem with the stone tablet. Although he didn't know if it was a mistake, he finally surpassed Chen Jiyue and others in this regard."
Lu Jiuge looked at the young man in white robe, bowed and greeted him, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Senior Brother Ning."
The young man in white robe smiled and nodded, saying, "Junior Sister Lu."
Nan Sheng looked at the senior brother Ning and said after a simple salute, "Is there something wrong with the stone tablet? Even if there is really a problem, that guy Li Mengzhou must have hit him by chance."
The young man in white robe smiled and said, "My sister Nan Sheng seems to have a lot of opinions about this young man, but objectively speaking, whether he did not accidentally hit him, he discovered the problem earlier than others. The process of climbing is indeed one of the assessment questions for the palace, and the key is on the stone tablet. If they cannot perceive and solve the problems on the stone tablet, they will be trapped outside the mountain gate, and they will not be able to enter the palace, nor will they participate in the subsequent assessment."
Lu Jiuge said: "I think the boy really discovered the problem of the stone tablet. His goal is very clear and his actions to touch the stone tablet are also very deliberate. Otherwise, why didn't others think about observing the stone tablet? And his thoughtful look now further confirmed this."
Nan Sheng was a little unwilling to accept it and stared at Li Mengzhou with a pouting lips.
The young man in white robe smiled and said, "I have the same opinion as Junior Sister Lu, and that young man may really have extraordinary abilities."
Nan Sheng finally couldn't help but say, "But that person has not even reached the visual stage. What can he do if he discovers the problem of the stone tablet? If he cannot visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he does not have the qualifications to practice. What's the use of no matter how sharp his observation is?"
The young man in white robe sighed and said, "Indeed, if he really does not have the qualifications to practice, no matter how strong the willpower is and how terrible the insight is, he will not be able to enter the palace."
