From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 363: Natural injustice, only effort can make up for it

"You are now at Wuxiangang at the foot of Mount Emei."

Li Yang paused and looked down at the four thousand frightened and anxious candidates.

"All you have to do is walk up to the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain without any tools. I will wait for you at the Golden Summit. The first 1,800 people to reach the Golden Summit will be the students of Baiyun Taoist Academy."

"As you go up, you will pass through Qingyin Pavilion, Yixiantian, Hongchunping, Tianchi Peak, Xianfeng Temple, Yuxian Temple, Xixiang Pool, Leidongping and other scenic spots in turn, and finally reach the Golden Summit. Master Chi and I will be waiting for you at the Golden Summit.

Among them, Taoist Master Yubao and four staff members, Wang Xin, will be stationed at Hongchunping, Xianfeng Temple, Jiulinggang, and Leidongping to check in. "

"First, you are not allowed to use any means of transportation, you can only walk, and you are not allowed to tell the tourists on the mountain about your identity. If you are discovered, your results will be invalidated and you will be disqualified."

"Second, you must strictly follow the route I mentioned. If you fail to check in at any of the eight attractions mentioned above, your score will be invalidated."

Li Yang suddenly laughed maliciously and looked around at everyone: "Third, if you can't hold on halfway, or encounter an emergency that you can't solve, you can crush the nameplate in your hand. Once it is crushed, someone will come to take you down the mountain, but it also means giving up and no longer having the qualification to take the assessment."

Everyone was stunned at first, and then looked strange.

They fumbled with the wooden sign in their hands and finally figured out what it was used for.

What surprised them was that the last level of Baiyun Taoist Temple was actually climbing a mountain?
Climbing a mountain, isn't it enough to have hands? Several guys who claimed to exercise regularly couldn't help but laugh.

Soon, some of the candidates who were good at collecting information, and a group of rookies, could no longer laugh after reading the information and total length of the entire hiking route on their mobile phones.
This route goes from Wuxiangang to Xianfeng Temple, then from Xianfeng Temple to Leidongping, and finally reaches Jinding. The total length is nearly a terrifying 45 kilometers!
This is the longest and most difficult hiking route in Mount Emei, covering the most precipitous 99 bends in Mount Emei.

It is impossible for people to climb the mountain without sleep. Even for the most experienced climbers, it will take two days and two nights to complete the climb.

Knowing that they had to climb the mountain for two consecutive days, the group of people couldn't help but look pale.

Seeing that this group of rookies finally realized the seriousness of the matter, one of the instigators nodded with satisfaction.

Li Yang knew very well that mountain climbing was the most torturous and will-testing thing in the world.

In addition, it is competitive mountain climbing, and only those who have experienced it know how painful it is.

Just like ordinary people exercising normally, running a few kilometers is no problem, but when it comes to competing in a distance of 800 or 1,000 kilometers, you will feel almost dead after running.

It was the same this time, with four thousand people rushing forward and behind for a continuous 45-kilometer mountain road, that could really be fatal.

This is also the original intention of Li Yang and Chi Yanhong in designing this level.

Chi Yanhong, who was standing by, saw the candidates making noise and said coldly:
"It has been almost four years since the spiritual energy was revived, but most of you have only known about it for a year. Now cultivating immortals is a trend. It is so hot that everyone wants to cultivate immortals, so many people are actually blindly following the trend.

You only know the infinite beauty of cultivating immortals, but you don’t know that the process of cultivating immortals is like climbing a mountain, with tests and tortures everywhere, and every step is torment. Without great determination and perseverance, there is no chance of seeing the true Dharma.

If you can really persevere, it means that you are truly prepared to seek the truth, and you are not just following the crowd or acting on a whim. "

After these words were spoken, the candidates below indeed became much quieter.

"But this is unfair! The boys are naturally more physically fit than the girls. In the end, even if we have the same perseverance, we will still lose to them and have no chance to enter Baiyun Taoist Academy!"

A girl among the candidates finally couldn't help but speak.
This question also made Chen Li, Yang Jiaqi and other girls raise their heads hopefully.

This is an obvious thing. Girls prefer quietness in high school, while boys are more active. Their physical endurance and quality are simply not at the same level.

Chen Li's face was as pale as paper.

She relied on her power as class monitor during high school and even skipped the morning and evening exercises. It was common for her to have stomachaches when tying her shoelaces. "I will have my own opinion on this matter with Master Chi."

Li Yang took over the conversation and said indifferently: "You will be divided into two groups. Those who are born with weaker qi and blood will start from Yixiantian and skip about five kilometers of mountain journey."

Some people wanted to argue, but Li Yang frowned. Before they could say anything, they felt thunder rumbling in their ears, and they screamed and squatted down with their heads in their hands.

"Humph, everything in the world is inherently unfair. The original intention of Master Chi and I to establish the Taoist Academy was to give the younger generation of China an opportunity to seek the Tao. If anyone feels that it is unfair, they can just leave."

"Fair? People are born unfair. You are telling me that men and women are born different, but why didn't you tell me when you eliminated tens of thousands of people during the qualification review a few days ago? They were born with the same qualifications as you, and their qualifications are not up to them, but they were still eliminated, and you stayed!"

Li Yang's voice was icy cold, like a cold winter gust of wind that chilled the hearts of all the examinees and they dared not speak anymore.

Yes, gender is determined by nature, qualifications are determined by nature, and some things are destined to be unfair.

Seeing that the deterrent effect of words had been achieved, Li Yang nodded, and then lightly nodded at the crowd.

Most of the people he picked up were short or very thin, and not many of them were girls, with a large number of them being boys as well.

Just as he said, these people are born with weaker qi and blood.

These people were surrounded by a golden halo with cloud patterns and slowly rose into the air in confusion. There were about 1,200 of them.

"The time has come. I am waiting for your good news at the Golden Summit!"

After that, Li Yang and Chi Yanhong led the more than 1,200 people and the four little ones who had been waiting for a long time through the mountains, leaving everyone with only the faint backs of them shuttling through the mountains.

Wang Shuhuan, Yang Xinwu and Yang Jiaqi are all outstanding in qi and blood, so naturally they do not have the privilege of skipping five kilometers.

The girl who was left behind cried and made a fuss for a long time, but she finally wiped away her tears and started climbing the mountain.

This will be a very long mountain road, and it will also be a mountain road that will determine their future lives.

Silent, complaining, afraid, but all moving forward at the same time.

Most of them choose the bluestone road on the mountain, which is also the normal route for tourists. Some also see many strange rocks on the side of the hillside, scattered between the cliffs. Thinking that the straight line between two points is the shortest, they just need to check in at the attractions mentioned by the True Lord one by one, and then go around to the cliff, climb rocks and wade through the stream.

The safest way is to take the bluestone mountain road, but because the mountain road is winding, it will take more time.

Although the second route is dangerous and requires more physical strength due to rock climbing and wading through streams, it is theoretically the fastest.

Wang Shuhuan, Yang Xinwu and several other chaebol children looked at each other and chose the second path without any prior agreement.

Li Zhenjun was right, the world is inherently unfair.

These young people usually have spiritual energy and blood, or they have some good fortune, and their physical fitness is much better than that of other candidates. The second path is more suitable for them.

Climb the vines and climb up. Climb the stone steps and use branches and wood as walking sticks.

Slowly, the crowd began to split, some in front and some behind.

At this time, in a dilapidated temple somewhere on Mount Emei, a humanoid child curled up on a cushion seemed to sense something unusual and suddenly opened his eyes.
