From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 366 Living towards death
Mount Emei, Hongchunping.

"Hello."

"Yeah, everyone is here."

After a few awkward greetings, Wang Shuhuan and Yang Xinwu remained expressionless.

They are all for the purpose of cultivating immortality, no matter what.

The few candidates who had shouted the loudest just now were simply wearing raincoats. The clothes underneath the raincoats were already completely wet by the mountain rain. They just kept their heads down and walked up the bluestone steps.

At this point, anyone who stops would be really stupid.

Wang Shuhuan and several other Yang brothers and sisters climbed up the cliff. Not far away was a deep dry ravine. In the ravine, they could vaguely see overgrown grass and old vines. With the accumulation of mountain rain and mist, the mountains as far as the eye could see were dark.

What the vendor said was right. In such weather with limited visibility, even normal mountain roads would be extremely dangerous, let alone those of them who had to walk through forests and across streams and climb vines.

His body had been frozen to the point of unconsciousness. Wang Shuhuan walked along the way and drank two sips of the drink he got from Hong Chunping. He finally felt better.

"This should be made from diluted Baiyun Li and some spiritual medicine. This bottle of drink alone is already extremely expensive outside."

Wang Shuhuan was a man who had seen the world. He recognized the ingredients of the drink at once and was amazed.

It must be because Baiyun Mountain is so wealthy that it can invest so much in more than 4,000 candidates.

Even so, Wang Shuhuan was already a little overwhelmed by the continuous high-intensity climbing, coupled with the heavy rain that took away a lot of heat from his body.

After all, his physical foundation had been damaged by the "Five Heavenly Descents". He might have an advantage over ordinary people, but he was still far behind the Yang brothers and sisters who were gifted with spiritual nourishment.
After leaving Hongchunping and going up about four kilometers, more than a dozen people were climbing vines and kudzu on the wall of the stream. Wang Shuhuan was no longer willing to give up, but slowly distanced himself from the Yang brothers and sisters.

When Wang Shuhuan raised his head again, the figures of the Yang brothers and sisters had turned into a small dot on the mountain wall in front of him in the dark.

"I must succeed in becoming your disciple!"

"I must succeed in becoming your disciple!"

"I must succeed in becoming your disciple!"

Wang Shuhuan muttered to himself that his speed was still among the top 500, but he did not dare to relax at all.

In a short while, after climbing over a cliff, Wang Shuhuan poked his head out to look up. Just behind the cliff was a slope with pine and fir trees growing in great numbers. The trees looked lush and eerie, and were all ancient trees that were about thousands of years old.

The places they climbed were all sparsely populated with tourists. Just as Wang Shuhuan was about to continue climbing, a hint of pink suddenly appeared in his pupils amidst the hazy mountain rain.

It was a mountain peach tree, hidden in the woods on the mountain. It had a thick trunk and cast a dense shade. Its thick roots had cracked the ground around it.

The mountain peach tree is all green, but the sparse pink ones are the wild peaches on the tree.

"Gulong!"

Wang Shuhuan swallowed his saliva, and his stomach growled.

The drink that Wang Xin brought to him at Hongchunping had been finished. Wang Shuhuan had been climbing continuously for nearly ten hours since morning and was already starving.

“A sharpened knife never misses the woodcutter!”

Having made up his mind, Wang Shuhuan ran up the slope. When he was near the top, the peach tree was hidden among the trees and could not be seen unless you looked carefully.

The wild peach is not big, about half the size of a fist, and is a lovely pink color after being soaked by mountain rain.

This peach tree grows in the mountains, and the peaches at the bottom can be picked without standing on tiptoe.

Wang Shuhuan had just reached out to touch a mountain peach hanging from the branch when he suddenly felt a chill all over his body and goosebumps instantly appeared on his arms, as if he had entered the territory of a giant beast.

He suddenly realized a problem.
Li Ku was standing by the roadside. It was obvious that the Yang brothers and sisters had also passed by this hillside just now.

Wang Shuhuan smelled the fragrance of the wild peaches so close to him, and it was obvious that these peaches were not bitter.

Why didn’t the Yang siblings and those candidates get the prize?
My thoughts flashed through my mind. As soon as the question popped up in my mind, my hands subconsciously picked two wild peaches.

A sense of life-and-death crisis suddenly rose in my heart. I quickly lowered my body and felt something brushing against my scalp. Then a piece of rock behind me exploded into pieces.

Wang Shuhuan was horrified and quickly turned sideways, lying in the muddy water and looking up. Under the dim sky, there was a black shadow half a person's height on the branch of the peach tree.

Wild monkey? Monster?
Mandrill?

It doesn’t matter anymore. At this moment, Wang Shuhuan felt that every cell in his body was roaring miserably. He stood up in a panic and ran away.

The black shadow seemed like an enraged mountain beast whose territory had been invaded. It let out a strange roar and swooped down in the forest, chasing after Wang Shuhuan.

"What the hell is this?"

"Is this also one of the admission tests for Baiyun Taoist Academy?"

"I'm going to die, I'm really going to die!"

Even though Wang Shuhuan tried his best to run away, the black shadow was extremely agile. Before he ran far, Wang Shuhuan felt a gust of cold wind behind him, accompanied by a terrifying feeling of his skin being torn.

Hearing the sound of breaking wind behind him, Wang Shuhuan tried his best to dodge to the side, but still felt a burning pain in his lower abdomen.

"Damn it!"

Wang Shuhuan was in complete despair. He had dodged the attack but was still affected by the residual force, and the skin on his lower abdomen still felt as painful as if it were being pricked by needles.

As they walked along, they had unknowingly deviated from the route. The woods suddenly ended in front of them, and Wang Shuhuan braked in time. In front of him stood a steep cliff, which was hundreds of meters high.

The dark shadow behind was still chasing closely. In front of them was a thousand-meter cliff with jagged rocks hanging upside down like swords.

Wang Shuhuan held the wooden nameplate tightly in his hand.

There are only two choices before him now: turn around and fight to the death, but the result will definitely be death; or crush the nameplate and hope that Li Zhenjun can rescue him in time.

But no matter what, he would completely lose the opportunity to enter Baiyun Taoist Temple.

Is there no way out?
Without thinking for long, Wang Shuhuan looked at the cliff in front of him and made a decision in his heart.

"Living towards death, I still have a choice!"

Closing his eyes, Wang Shuhuan jumped down with determination.

"Whoa Whoah"

The rain was still falling, and except for the sound of wind and rain, the forest slowly returned to calm.

The black shadow ran to the front of the cliff, scratched his head, seemed a little confused, and hesitated for a while before returning.

Under a steep cliff hundreds of meters high, in a hidden place, two golden lights flickered faintly in the darkness.

After several years, Wang Shuhuan finally saw Li Yang face to face again.

Li Yang, who was hanging on the cliff, was wearing a green Taoist robe. Even under the heavy rain, he still looked cool and not a single corner of his clothes was wet.

"Majesty... Hello... Long time no see."

Wang Shuhuan's voice was trembling, and his vision had gone blurry without him noticing.

I made the right bet!

Li Yang looked at Wang Shuhuan indifferently, thinking of the high-spirited first generation sword master, and sighed: "Continue your journey, this thing above... has some cause and effect with me, I need to end it now."

"Don't tell anyone else what happened just now."

Wang Shuhuan just nodded, and saw Li Yang waving his sleeves. When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him was already on the mountain path.

Without the time to consider the identity of the shadow, Wang Shuhuan suppressed his thoughts and tried to identify the direction.

The two wild peaches in my arms were not lost. The peaches were sweet in the mouth, and the pink and white flesh was full of peach fragrance.

It’s not a spiritual fruit, just an ordinary peach, but it is enough to restore physical strength.

Wang Shuhuan knew that at this stage, thinking too much was useless. For some things, without equal strength, knowing too much would only lead to disaster.

After Wang Shuhuan escaped death, his adrenaline began to be secreted faster and went straight in one direction.
