Zongwu: My comprehension is beyond belief. I created the Dragon God Kung Fu.

He had no interest in practicing Buddhism, but he was very interested in the martial arts in the Sutra Library.

As a martial arts holy land in the Central Plains, Shaolin's Sutra Library has collected martial arts from various schools and sects. If you can enter the Sutra Library to study, you can not only learn Shaolin martial arts, but also martial arts from various schools and sects.

If I could learn all the martial arts in the Sutra Repository, it would be enough to dominate the entire martial arts world.

The world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is a world where martial arts is respected. Without sufficient strength, let alone survival, you may not even be able to save your life!

Li Yuntian is now powerless, and the most urgent task is to join a sect and learn superior martial arts. Only in this way can he protect himself! .

317, Holy Land of Martial Arts

317, Holy Land of Martial Arts

There are two reasons why Li Yuntian chose to join Shaolin. First, Shaolin is the holy land of martial arts in Central China, with many martial arts methods. Only by joining Shaolin can he have the opportunity to learn superior martial arts.

Secondly, Shaolin Temple has the lowest threshold for accepting disciples. As long as you can meet the standards, you can join Shaolin, no matter you are a king, a general, or a beggar on the street.

Li Yuntian is a time traveler without any background. If he wants to quickly make a name for himself in the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, the only way is to join Shaolin.

If you join other sects and want to make a name for yourself, it will be impossible without more than ten years!

After making the decision, Li Yuntian rushed to Shaolin without stopping.

When Li Yuntian 790 arrived at the foot of Mount Shaoshi, quite a few people had already gathered there.

Among them, most are young people, and there are very few older people!

These people all came to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts, but joining Shaolin is not an easy thing.

Li Yuntian had already inquired on the way here. If one wanted to join Shaolin, he had to pass at least three levels.

The first level is called "Heavenly Ladder". As we all know, Shaolin Temple is located on Mount Song, which is more than 1,500 meters above sea level. In order to facilitate climbing, the monks of Shaolin Temple used bluestone slabs to build a stone staircase (bifa) leading directly to Shaolin Temple.

There are a total of 999 stone steps, distributed vertically. Climbing them is very tiring. It is almost impossible to reach the top in one breath!

It would take an ordinary person at least one to two hours to climb these 999 stone steps!

Only after passing the stone steps and reaching Shaolin Temple will you be qualified to advance to the next level!

The second stage is called Questioning the Heart. As a Buddhist temple, Shaolin Temple is very strict in accepting disciples. Only those with pure six senses and pure minds have the opportunity to join Shaolin.

Those who have committed crimes and are full of evil have no chance of sneaking into Shaolin Temple.

Moreover, as the holy land of martial arts in the Central Plains, the Shaolin Temple’s Sutra Library collects martial arts from various schools and sects.

All the surrounding countries coveted Shaolin's Sutra Library, so they sent a large number of spies to sneak into Shaolin Temple and steal the martial arts in the Sutra Library.

But so far, no country has been able to succeed, and most spies have failed at the stage of self-examination.

The third level is to touch the bones. If you want to learn martial arts, bone structure is very important!

The better your physique, the easier it will be to practice martial arts, and you can achieve twice the result with half the effort!

On the contrary, the worse your physical foundation is, the more difficult it will be to practice martial arts, and you will often get half the result with twice the effort.

Li Yuntian was not worried about the first and second levels. Although the first level was very difficult, as long as he had perseverance and determination, reaching the top would be no problem.

As for the second level, that is even less of a problem. He is neither a criminal nor a spy from other countries. The second level will not be difficult for him at all!

What Li Yuntian was really worried about was the third level. He had never measured his root bones before and didn't know what his root bones were like.

If his physique was too poor, it would be difficult for him to enter Shaolin Temple.

With a nervous mood, Li Yuntian stepped onto the ladder.

At the beginning, when climbing the ladder, Li Yuntian did not feel tired.

But when he was halfway up the mountain, Li Yuntian found that his speed had slowed down!

Not only him, but many of the people traveling with him slowed down, and each of them was sweating, obviously very tired!

Li Yuntian's condition was relatively good, but many young people had collapsed on the stone steps, motionless! .

318, Abnormal Test

"I won't climb anymore, I won't climb anymore. How can this be a test? It's clearly a life-threatening one! I don't want to practice martial arts anymore. I'd rather go home and take the imperial examination and become a scholar!" A young man dressed as a scholar collapsed on the stone steps, crying out in pain.

"Who said it wasn't? If I had known that the tests in Shaolin Temple were so perverted, I might as well have followed my father, the salt merchant, to sell sea salt and not have to endure this hardship!" A fat man in gorgeous clothes next to him echoed.

Many people gave up halfway up the climb.

Of course, some people continue to persevere.

Li Yuntian was one of them. He adjusted his breathing and continued to climb upwards.

Climbing the ladder to heaven is a test of your endurance. As long as you persist, reaching the top will be no problem!

I’m afraid that I won’t be able to hold on and give up halfway. If I can’t hold on, then wanting to reach the top is just a dream!

When he climbed more than 800 stone steps, Li Yuntian could hardly see anyone in front of him!

Although Li Yuntian was exhausted and sweating, he still took one step at a time and tried hard to climb up.

When he climbed up the last stone step, Li Yuntian's legs went limp and he fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

One stick of incense after Li Yuntian reached the summit, others continued to reach the summit.

Li Yuntian took a quick glance and found that there were only a few dozen people who reached the summit, while there were hundreds of people who took part in the Ladder to Heaven!

Ninety percent of the people were eliminated in the first level alone, which was enough to prove how cruel the test in Shaolin Temple was.

After passing the first level, Li Yuntian and others were immediately taken to the main hall by a monk to take the second test.

The second test is called "Questioning One's Conscience". Only after passing this test are you eligible to enter the next one.

Li Yuntian was the first person to reach the top of the ladder, so he was the first to be brought into the main hall.

As soon as he entered the main hall, a bell rang in Li Yuntian's ears.

"when!"

The next second, Li Yuntian's expression became dull and dazed, as if he had lost his soul.

Fortunately, Li Yuntian's soul was strong enough and he quickly broke free from his confusion.

Even so, Li Yuntian was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat!

He didn't expect that the Shaolin Temple actually mastered this kind of hypnosis-like method. No wonder it could identify spies and criminals.

If Li Yuntian wasn't a time traveler with a spirit different from that of ordinary people, he would definitely have been caught this time.

· ········Request flowers····· 0

Before Li Yuntian could think about it, a deafening voice came to his ears.

"Donor, who are you?"

"Where are you from?"

"What is your purpose in joining Shaolin?"

Li Yuntian was startled, and quickly pretended to be stupid and replied, "I am Li Yuntian, a Han Chinese from the Song Dynasty. I joined Shaolin mainly to learn superior martial arts, protect the Song Dynasty, and contribute to the Song Dynasty!"

.

He was worried that someone was secretly observing his every move, and if someone discovered that he was not hypnotized, complications might arise.

Not long after Li Yuntian finished answering, he felt his body relax and he immediately knew that he should have passed this time!

Sure enough, soon a monk took Li Yuntian to the back hall.

As long as Li Yuntian passes the final bone-touching test, he can become a member of Shaolin Temple.

Not long after Li Yuntian passed the test, people were brought to the back hall one after another.

These people also passed the second level of the test of conscience.

Li Yuntian took a quick look and found that many people were eliminated in the second round. Including Li Yuntian, only a dozen people passed the test.

319, Cruel

I have to say that the test in Shaolin Temple is still very cruel!

After the test of the heart, it’s time to touch the bones!

I saw a middle-aged monk put his palm on the forehead of a young man, sensed him for a while, and said lightly, "Inferior, unqualified, next!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the young man whose root bone was measured turned pale and looked distraught. Unfortunately, he was taken away soon.

　"July 93" These young men who were taken away generally had two choices: either stay in the Shaolin Temple and do odd jobs or become lay disciples, or go down the mountain.

"Inferior, unqualified, next one!" said the middle-aged monk with no sadness or joy.

After testing the physiques of several people in a row, it turned out that none of them passed the test, which put a lot of pressure on Li Yuntian and others!

"Hey, young man, what exactly is the root bone that the master is talking about?" Just as Li Yuntian was stunned, a chubby young man came up to him and asked in a low voice.

Li Yuntian glanced at the other person and found that he had a simple face and was wearing patched clothes. It was obvious that he came from an ordinary family and was most likely a villager nearby.

"I don't know!" Li Yuntian shook his head and said.

The concept of root bones is vague and illusory, and Li Yuntian doesn’t really understand it!

"Brother, my name is Erhu. May I know what your name is?" Erhu was very happy to see Li Yuntian reply to him, and took the initiative to introduce himself.

"My name is Li Yuntian, you can call me Yuntian!" Li Yuntian replied without putting on airs.

"Brother Yuntian, we just tested several people, and none of them passed the test. Do you think our group will be wiped out?" Erhu said in a low voice.

Li Yuntian shook his head and said, "Probably not!"

Although he didn't know what his own foundation was, he had confidence in himself!

"Brother Yuntian, I think that among our group of people, only you have the greatest chance of qualifying!" Erhu suddenly said mysteriously.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Li Yuntian asked puzzledly.

"It's very simple, Brother Yuntian, you are the first person to reach the top of the ladder, and the first person to pass the heart test. I have observed that you passed the first and second levels in the shortest time. If we ask who in our group is most likely to pass the root bone test, it must be you!" Erhu said confidently...

Li Yuntian looked at Erhu in surprise. He didn't expect that Erhu, who was so strong, could be so thoughtful.

"Erhu, your physique is innate and has little to do with acquired factors. Even if I am the first one to pass the Ladder to Heaven and the Gate of Self-Searching, it does not mean that my physique is qualified. Each of us has a chance, it just depends on who has better luck!" Li Yuntian comforted.

Before the two could continue chatting, it was Erhu's turn to test his physique.

Erhu came to the middle-aged monk tremblingly, raised his head, closed his eyes, and waited for the middle-aged monk to pronounce the verdict.

"Average, qualified, next!" said the middle-aged monk lightly.

"What? Passed? That's great! I can join Shaolin Temple 5.0. It won't be long before I can become a martial arts master!" Erhu shouted excitedly!

Erhu didn’t have much confidence in himself at first, but unexpectedly, his bone structure actually passed the test, which made him very excited!

"Amitabha, loud noises are not allowed in Shaolin Temple. Considering this is your first time, I will forgive you this time. If you dare to break the rules again, I will punish you with a Zen stick!"

320, Root Bone

320, Root Bone

The middle-aged monk glared at Erhu and scolded him harshly.

Erhu was startled and dared not make any loud noise anymore.

Seeing that Erhu passed the bone test, Li Yuntian's face lit up with joy.

He had a good impression of Erhu, and he was very happy that Erhu could pass the bone root test!

He just didn't know whether he could pass the bone root test. When he thought about this, Li Yuntian became very nervous!

Soon, it was Li Yuntian's turn!

Li Yuntian took a deep breath, walked in front of the middle-aged monk, closed his eyes, and waited for the middle-aged monk to test his bones.

Not long after, Li Yuntian felt a chill on his forehead, as if something was sticking to it.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuntian felt a warm current flowing into his Niwan Palace.

"Is this the legendary internal force?" Li Yuntian murmured to himself.

The world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is a low-level martial arts world where one can cultivate internal strength. Internal strength plays a very important role. Generally speaking, the deeper the internal strength, the stronger the strength!

Before Li Yuntian could think about it, he sensed that the middle-aged monk had withdrawn his internal force!

"Excellent, qualified! Little donor, what is your name?" the middle-aged monk couldn't help asking.

Upon hearing the word "qualified", Li Yuntian secretly breathed a sigh of relief!

As long as his bone root test is passed, he can stay in Shaolin Temple!
