Deer seeks fairyland

Chapter 4

Peak Master Wu walked back and forth in front of the crowd with his hands behind his back, and when almost everyone had arrived, he pressed his hands in front of everyone and began to speak:
"Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first work hard on their hearts and minds. My Kongwu Sect is a century-old sect with a profound foundation. Recruiting disciples requires both mentality and physical fitness. No one is allowed to enter."

After saying a lot of words, Peak Master Wu turned around and pointed to the bluestone steps behind him, "This is the heart-training ladder, with a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.

Those who reach the [-]th step before noon today can join the Kongwu Sect as inner disciples. If they can't reach it before noon, those with stronger minds can also be accepted as registered disciples.

Those who can climb the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step will have the opportunity to be personally accepted by the major peak masters as personal disciples. "

Although I don't understand the difference between "inner disciples", "named disciples" and "personal disciples", but I think it's climbing a mountain, the higher you climb, the better the treatment.

Xiao Lu looked up at the long bluestone steps that meandered straight up, and felt that this test didn't seem too difficult. There are still steps to walk, which are much easier to climb than mountain roads.

Looking at the children around him, Xiaolu thought to himself, these young masters and ladies from the city are definitely not my opponents.

The other children also whispered to each other, but there were a few children who seemed calm and unhurried, and I wondered if they had learned the content of the test in advance and were prepared.

Xiao Lu carefully observed the two children who looked confident, one was a little boy dressed luxuriously, he was neither tall nor thin, he was thin-skinned and tender.

The other boy looked a lot stronger, probably the oldest of these children, with dark skin, and although the clothes were not shabby, they were not expensive.

Before he had time to think deeply, Master Wufeng said, "It's almost time, let's start. If you can't hold on, you can follow the senior brothers and tell them, the senior brothers will take you down the mountain."

It turns out that those who are wearing blue clothes behind Master Wu are called senior brothers. They should be the disciples who joined the sect in the past. If I also pass the test, can I wear the same clothes in the future and listen to the new disciples? Are you calling me Senior Sister?
Just when Xiao Lu was thinking wildly, he felt that the corner of his clothes was being pulled. Looking up, the other children had rushed up and climbed up the stone steps.The little deer didn't dare to delay any longer, and hastily followed the crowd to climb up.

The mind-training ladder is quite wide, and it doesn't look crowded when dozens of children climb up at the same time. Behind the children, a row of seniors in blue clothes follow closely behind.

This test sounds simple, and the heart-training step doesn't look very steep, but as it climbs, its legs seem to be tied with stones, getting heavier and heavier, and gradually, the deer's speed is getting slower and slower.

After persisting like this for more than an hour, Xiaolu was so tired that he had to sit down on the steps and began to pant heavily.

There are not many children who can climb here in one go. To Xiaolu's surprise, Wang Xiaobao actually followed not far behind him. Although he was sweating profusely and his face was flushed, he still refused to stop and moved little by little. He sat down to rest when he reached the same level of steps as her.

Xiaolu smiled and patted Wang Xiaobao's shoulder, "Xiaobao, okay, I can't see that you are quite powerful."

Wang Xiaobao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, then looked at the children who were moving sparsely behind him, and said, "Mother said, I'm a boy, and I have to protect Sister Lu when I go out, so I can't be left behind by her." in the back."

After speaking, he lowered his head shyly, not daring to look into Xiaolu's eyes.

"Haha..." Xiaolu felt funny looking at Wang Xiaobao's appearance, and couldn't help laughing, and thought of how her aunt took care of her in the past, and couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth in her heart.

As the test progressed, the seniors accompanying the children also dispersed, and there was a senior standing beside Xiaolu and Wang Xiaobao.

This senior brother is tall and straight, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, with a long sword on his back, and there is not a single drop of sweat on his body, just standing quietly watching them.

Xiaolu raised his head to meet his senior brother's gaze, but he didn't feel scared, instead he smiled at his senior brother again, "Senior brother, may I ask which step is this?"

The senior raised his eyebrows in surprise, and quickly reported a number, "240 three." After a pause, he added, "The time limit for the test is nearly half past, hurry up."

Xiao Lu thanked his senior brother, looked back at Wang Xiaobao, rested on the spot for a while, then stood up and continued to climb up.

The stone steps under her feet seemed to be endless, and her legs and feet were getting heavier and heavier like a huge boulder tied to her. Gradually, she had to bend down and use her hands and feet to continue climbing, except for the whistling wind in her chest. No other voice could be heard.

Persevere, I can't give up, I want to make a lot of money, I want to make money to marry my eldest brother, I want to make money to cut new clothes for my mother and sister, I want our family to have meat for every meal!
I don't know how long it has passed, Xiaolu can no longer feel the existence of his hands and feet, he only knows to keep lifting and lowering, the clothes on his body are already wet with sweat, and his hair is sticking to his face, only a pair of dark eyes are shining in the harsh sunlight Glittering down.

"Five hundred steps."

"Make a lot of money, eat meat, make a lot of money, eat meat" the babbling little deer suddenly widened his eyes, "What are you talking about? Five hundred steps? I passed the test!?"

The senior brother hooked the corners of his mouth without leaving any trace, "Yes. Junior sister, congratulations for joining the Kongwu Sect."

Deer wanted to jump up and down happily, but he had no strength left, so he could only hold the steps and look back.

I saw Wang Xiaobao's hands and feet trembling at about thirty or forty steps behind him, but he was still climbing up little by little.Looking up again, there are two small black spots on it, moving slowly one after the other.

Fawn turned away from the joy of passing the test and hurriedly asked: "Brother, how long is it until the end of the test?"

The senior brother looked up at the sky, "There is still about one stick of incense time."

A stick of incense should be in time.

"Little Treasure! Come on! Come on!" Xiao Lu tried his best to raise his sore arm and waved it towards Xiao Treasure.

Finally, the sun rose high into the middle of the sky, and Xiao Bao also leaned dangerously on the five hundred steps.
