Chapter Twenty-Seven: Enlightenment at the age of seventeen

"Why?"

Ning Haoran's peaceful face showed no sarcasm, shook his head, and said, "I am the fourth brother of Li Gong, I am your guide, and the process of climbing the mountain is also part of the Li Gong's mountain trial. I am much stronger than you."

The boy, including many people, did not expect Ning Haoran to say this. He wailed for a moment, and the boy's eyes turned red and he said angrily and angrily: "Senior Brother Ning, this is very unfair!"

Ning Haoran looked at the boy with a little sadness and said, "What kind of fairness do you want? There is no absolute fairness in the world, and this matter is fair in my opinion. Your will is not firm enough, and many people perform better than you. Why should I let all of you pass it? Isn't this also an unfairness to those who perform better?"

Looking at the young man who was still angry, Ning Haoran said in a deep voice: "The assessment project is decided by the dean. Since you are here to worship the mountain, you should have some understanding of Ligong. How dare you question the dean's decision?

You should know that the dean is the number one sword cultivator in the entire Jiang Kingdom. No matter what he does, he has his reasons. Although the sword cultivator should rather break than bend, he should also be a master of the times. The fair thing is just that you think it is unfair and you are not as skilled as others, so you have to leave obediently. The meaningless clamor cannot make you look down upon. This is a very stupid behavior."

Li Mengzhou was just looking at the Baiyun on the mountain calmly, like a pure spectator, but Ning Haoran's words surprised him a little.

He began to really look at the Si Senior Brother Ning of Ligong.

Ning Haoran's eyes seemed very soft, a kind of softness that should not have appeared on a sword cultivator.

Perhaps the behavior of the sword cultivator cannot be completely sealed in a certain impression. The sword cultivator himself is a human being. If he is a human being, he will have countless ideas and act countless times. As long as the heart of Tao is still strong, no matter what he does, it will be correct.

Besides, Li Mengzhou also thought this farce was exaggerated.

Questioning the results of the assessment is a very naive behavior. Even if many people do not know the process of climbing in advance, it is part of the assessment. However, in Li Mengzhou's view, since leaving the South Gate of Langya and entering the Ligong Mountain Gate, the assessment has been everywhere.

Perhaps because he was not among the group of people who were eliminated, he could stand and speak without a pain in his back. Just imagine if Li Mengzhou was driven away at this moment, his reaction might be even more intense.

He will definitely not convince.

So he ignored what was happening now, and everything had nothing to do with him anyway.

This has been decided, and the result will not be changed just because someone opposes it. So nearly a hundred teenagers who climbed the mountain went there in an instant.

Ning Haoran glanced at the remaining candidates with a calm gaze and said softly: "Although you stay here for the time being, don't be complacent, maybe you will go down the mountain soon. Li Palace only recruits the best talented people, so you are all competitors to each other.

Don’t be discouraged if you are not as good as others in practice. You can still defeat your opponent in another way. The current stage of practice is not an absolute advantage. Now you will visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is to examine your understanding and is also linked to your cultivation qualifications."

Zheng Qian shook the folding fan and bowed slightly to Ning Haoran respectfully, saying, "Senior Brother Ning, of course, the most important thing for those who practice cultivation is to be qualified and cultivate. If the best one is, it should be those of us who have entered the Amaterasu stage. Why do we have to test this more in one go?"

Zheng Qian's words aroused a lot of dissatisfaction. After all, only a few people have entered the Amaterasu stage. In this way, most people will be eliminated. If so, why should they come to climb the mountain?

Ning Haoran looked at Zheng Qian who was full of confidence and arrogant, smiled slightly and said, "I said that practicing is not as good as a person, and you can defeat your opponents from another aspect. It is not just about who has gone further. The entry test is indeed not that important, because the candidate who enters the mountain depends on the decision of the dean. Even if you perform well in the test, as long as the dean disagrees, you still cannot enter the palace.

You can doubt it, but there is no need to say much. The dean values ​​a person's future achievements, and will not be limited to the present."

Zheng Qian seemed not to agree with Ning Haoran's words. Although he knew that it would be a bad thing to continue to question, he still couldn't help but say, "Who can know the future of things? It's an illusory thing after all. I don't care what others think, but I only believe in the things in front of me."

Ning Haoran was not angry because of Zheng Qian's words, but instead laughed softly: "What you said is also reasonable. How can you feel at ease if you don't see it with your own eyes? But this is just your own thoughts, and perhaps the thoughts of many of you. Different thoughts will appear at every stage of life, and in Li Palace, the dean's thoughts are the most important. If you are dissatisfied, you can leave by yourself. Otherwise, you will do what I said obediently."

Zheng Qian clenched his fists tightly, and he didn't say anything after all. He didn't want to offend Ning Haoran. In the final analysis, he was confident that he could stand out and become a member of the palace. Therefore, the way of testing was not very important to him.

He just thought it was a cumbersome to do so.

Zheng Qian looked at Li Mengzhou with a cold look, showing a sarcastic smile.

Li Mengzhou did not look at him, but when he heard Ning Haoran say that he would visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he felt a little uneasy because he could not visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Shen Jiyue stood beside Li Mengzhou, raised her beautiful eyes lightly, stared at him seriously, and whispered: "That Zheng Qian is a very annoying guy. No matter whether he can be admitted to Li Palace or not, you must be careful with him."

Li Mengzhou looked at Shen Jiyue curiously, nodded silently, and said nothing.

The only thirty candidates left all sat cross-legged in front of the stone tablet.

Ning Haoran was standing at the same position as the stone tablet. He carried his hands on his back and said softly: "The visualization stage in practice is a very simple thing, because it is just a thought. Everyone has at least hundreds or thousands of thoughts every day, and only a small number of people can visualize the spiritual energy that exists in the dark in this initial thought.

Observing this world and understanding the thoughts in it is nothing more than perceiving the existence of the spiritual energy of the world, and thus imagining the spiritual energy of the world. The spiritual energy between the world naturally has no specific appearance, but it can be seen, and according to the different visualizations of each person, the spiritual energy of the world seen is also different.

Perceiving the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and being able to simply use the spiritual energy is the first stage of the first state in the practice. Many people with excellent qualifications are directly baptized by Amaterasu while visualizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and crossing the second stage of the first state. Although there are not a few such people, they still belong to very few people in the endless river of history.

This is just a means of expression, and does not mean that those who visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth early but cannot be baptized by Amaterasu after several years have poor qualifications. The quality of cultivation qualifications is mainly reflected in the vastness of the sea of ​​qi seen, and does not visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Only those who are over 100 years old but still cannot be baptized by Amaterasu have poor qualifications for real practice. You have come from the world and have also walked in the world. You have probably seen those calculators or flower artists who are in captivity, all belong to this group of people.

There is no special method to enter visualization. You just need to empty your thoughts, then find a certain idea, amplify that idea, and naturally you can visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The length of time is very different for everyone. The earlier you are, of course, it also means that your qualifications for practice will not be too poor."

Listening to Ning Haoran's words, Li Mengzhou put aside his distracting thoughts and began to visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in his life. Compared to the past, this was his first real visualization. His nervousness disappeared without a trace after his brain was empty.

Although visualization seems very simple, Li Mengzhou wants to say that this is really not simple at all.

Shen Jiyue, who had already passed the visualization and entered the Amaterasu stage, was the first person to end the visualization. She stood in front of the stone tablet and nodded slightly to Ning Haoran.

Ning Haoran had a soft smile on his face and said softly: "It seems that you have already visualized something."

Of course, visualization is not the purpose, the key is still on the stone tablet.

Except for Li Mengzhou, who had accidentally hit the stone tablet before, no one here noticed the problem with the stone tablet before entering the visualization.

Zheng Qian and Zhou Luo woke up one after another in visualization. They looked at each other silently and thought of some problems. Li Mengzhou's sudden movements of approaching the stone tablet were a bit strange, and Zhou Luo himself also discovered something, so he greeted Li Mengzhou, which led to Xin Ming's provocation later and almost started a conflict.

Now that he had visualized the stone tablet, he couldn't help but think about whether Li Mengzhou had discovered the mystery of the stone tablet at that time.

Zheng Qian's face was a little gloomy. He turned around and looked at Li Mengzhou's still closed eyes and sneered.

Then He Zhengrong also ended in visualization and walked to the side silently.

Ning Haoran just looked at him and continued to smile at the person who was still visualizing cross-legged.

After Xin Ming opened his eyes and another person finished his visualization, for a long time, the mountain road fell into death silence.

As the bloody sunset fell at dusk, everyone woke up one after another. Except for some people, many candidates were confused.

They just entered the visualization according to Ning Haoran's words, but did not know what they wanted to visualize.

Ning Haoran also smiled softly at them and said, "You can go down the mountain."

Li Mengzhou is the only one who is still in the visualization.

Sitting on the mountain road, lonely and pitiful.

Ning Haoran was not anxious and still looked at it calmly.

But he was not anxious, but someone was anxious. Zheng Qian looked at the sky and slapped his palm with a folding fan impatiently, saying, "It seems that it's dark now. When will you have to wait until you go down the mountain without that ability, just a waste of time."

Zhou Luo frowned. According to his guess, Li Mengzhou must have discovered the problem of the stone tablet early on, so why did he not wake up in this visualization?

He is not Li Mengzhou, of course he doesn't know the difficulties Li Mengzhou encountered at this time, and he has no way to enter the visualization, so how can he wake up?

Li Mengzhou noticed those who were ordered to drive down the mountain by Ning Haoran, and immediately understood that this visualization test was definitely not just a simple visualization. He could think that it might be related to the stone tablet, but he could not visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even if the problem with the stone tablet was pointed out, it would inevitably be contrary to the purpose of the test.

Visualization is not the purpose, and pointing out the problem of the stone tablet is not the purpose. The key is to see the problem of the stone tablet in visualization.

In addition to Zheng Qian, Xin Ming is the person who dislikes Li Mengzhou the most. He is naturally indispensable for the matter of taking advantage of the situation. He sneered deliberately, and then said with a sarcastic look on his face: "I thought it was a big-headed garlic, but I didn't expect it to be just a pleasing but not useful. Just visualizing it, it took so much time. It wouldn't be impossible to visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at all."

This is just Xin Ming's irony, but it is the most sincere fact.

Chen Jiyue didn't believe that Li Mengzhou would be a person who could not even visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although there was no specific consideration for the length of time to visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it would appear on the person who had first visualization. Since he was going to worship Li Palace, he was naturally all of them who had entered the visual stage. Only some people who dreamed of becoming practitioners with luck would come to climb the mountain when they were unable to enter the visualization.

However, these people were eliminated early. After all, those so-called monsters are still a minority in the world. It is not that those people can enter the visualization at the age of fifteen, but all those who have not entered the visualization at the moment can do it.

Lu Jiuge and Nan Sheng have been standing in the canyon for a long time.

They were also looking forward to seeing who could be admitted to Li Palace, and Nan Sheng's focus was on finding that Li Mengzhou was also among the people who climbed the mountain, so he had already shifted his target.

Although Nan Sheng always had tiny eyes when he saw Li Mengzhou because of his bad impression before, now seeing Li Mengzhou unable to wake up from his visualization is due to the girl's natural sympathy, she felt that Li Mengzhou was a little pitiful at this moment.

In her opinion, Li Mengzhou chose to be admitted to the Li Palace as a humiliation. She could not imagine what Li Mengzhou was thinking.

It is clearly a person who has not even entered the visualization, so why should he persist? It is for the poor self-esteem?

Lu Jiuge's eyes fell on Li Mengzhou.

Looking at the boy with a calm expression and a gentle look, a strange luster appeared in her eyes.

"He looks like he should be over fifteen years old, and he has a sense of maturity that is beyond his peers. Although it is recorded in the Taoist sect and there have been people who have only entered the visualization at the age of twentieth century in history, at least this person has been recorded in the endless years.

Li Mengzhou is over fifteen years old. Logically speaking, it is impossible for him to enter visualization again, but there are exceptions in this matter after all. His perseverance is amazing. He still did not choose to give up even though he knew it was impossible. At least this attitude is respectable. Perhaps it is true that Senior Brother Ning did not stop."

There are too many legends recorded in the Taoist sect. Most of them are in quiet places in mountains and seas. Many are already the peak powerhouses of the world, and many have long fallen into the long river of history.

Although many young strong people have emerged in the world of practice today and have reached the peak one by one, in fact, compared with the previous era, the world of practice today is not a prosperous era.

Not to mention today, in the last era, those monsters in the past were rarely seen. Basically, one will appear in decades or even a hundred years. Today's world of cultivation has slowly developed in a better direction, and more and more monsters are showing their style, but basically just a few.

Chen Qiubai of Jiang Kingdom, Bei Zangfeng, Ouyang Shengxue first-rate, Xue Ye Prince of Yan Kingdom, Xiao Zhinan First-rate, Su Bieli of Wei Kingdom, Xu Beihan of Western Jin Dynasty, and the Ninth Prince of Nanyu, etc., seem to be able to call many names in the world, but how big is the world? Not to mention ordinary people, there are countless people who embark on the path of cultivation. Although there was another evil girl born with a sword heart in the Western Jin Dynasty, there were only a few young monsters among billions of people, so how could they be called many?

If Li Mengzhou had become visualized at this age, although he could not be comparable to these monsters, he was at least qualified to compete with him. Therefore, both Lu Jiuge and Ning Haoran were looking forward to seeing Li Mengzhou's performance. After all, if it was really successful, there would inevitably be one more person in the future Daozang records.

But in fact, they don’t have much hope, and such a thing seems a bit fantasy after all.

Li Mengzhou didn't know what others felt, whether they were expecting, mocking, or watching the show, but his feelings were a little uncomfortable at this moment.

The long-term visualization has caused excessive energy to cause his mental loss and his headache to break. No matter what he does, he still cannot visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He didn't know where the problem was.

It was obvious that Mr. Wu told him that he had the Qihai, but why did he just not enter the visualization?

What is the difference between your own qi sea and others' qi sea?

Even now, Li Mengzhou never thought of giving up. Even if he was mentally broken, he must visualize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This is an attitude, and it also comes from the stubbornness hidden deep in his heart. He cannot tolerate failure. If he is doomed to fail, he would rather die here directly.

Li Mengzhou felt great anger, and unwillingness was the only portrayal of his heart.

At this time, it is easy to have problems with emotions. He is trying his best to control his emotions. If a person is influenced by emotions, then this person will undoubtedly become a waste.

He, Li Mengzhou, would never be willing to be a waste.

Since you have to act against the will of heaven, you must be prepared to face all the results. Some ripples seem to appear in his empty sea of ​​consciousness.

A vague figure appeared in his memory. He was almost unable to remember the person's appearance, but that person was undoubtedly the closest person he was in the world.

It seemed that the man had done something to him, but Li Mengzhou racked his brains and couldn't recall it, but he felt that this might be the key to his inability to enter the visualization.
