It was early in the morning, and the breeze carried a slight chill.
The cold of the winter moon caused one to feel clear-headed. At the same time, it also caused one to feel light-headed.
In the early winter morning, no one in the bed wanted to get up and leave their warm village.
But he woke up early and changed into a thicker Hua Shan Sect uniform. He carried a Hua Shan Sect sword and everything he could carry, except for his umbrella and blade.
The Cardinal had decided to collect eight totems today!
Only after exiting the courtyard would one know how big Mount Hua was. Only after leaving one's hometown would one know how big the world was. A man should not be afraid to travel far, where in the four seas is not home?
While Cardinal was searching everywhere in Mount Hua, he was also recording the events that transpired. He was familiar with the paths of Mount Hua and recording down every single place that he passed by.
He started his search early in the morning. After half a day of hard work, he managed to find four more totems. Unfortunately, two of the totems were the same as the one before.
In his heart, Shu Cheng thought, for this exam, not only is it an test to see who can find it faster, but there's also another factor, which one's luck is better.
Some people were lucky enough to find different totems. They were able to gather eight totems and pass the examination. Some people had bad luck. The totem that they sought every time was the same. They had spent a lot of effort, but had not made any substantial progress.
Sometimes, the will of heaven could never be matched with it, whether one accepted it or not.
Zhu Cheng felt that his luck wasn't very good.
Yesterday and today, he had found a total of 12 totems. In terms of speed, they were already relatively fast, but 12 totems were only half useful. The Cardinal had only gathered a total of 6 totems.
The early morning had come to an end, but there was no sun at noon. During the winter months, the sun was warm but not blazing in the eyes.
Cardinal narrowed his eyes, looking at the sun, enjoying the winter sunshine.
Cardinal smiled.
He was a child that had grown up on an island, in the mountains. When he looked at the scenery, there would always be some peace.
Cardinal didn't know if this was his own unique skill or if everyone else was like this, but he felt that if he could hear the voice and see the beauty of it, the world would be the same to anyone else, as long as they had the heart to admire it.
Cardinal found a rock to lie on and laid down. He was a little tired, so he decided to rest for a bit before deciding. Cardinal truly felt tired.
As for why he was tired, even the Cardinal himself could not explain.
Tired of the body? Is it because my heart is tired? Just what was going on? Even Cardinal could not say.
But now lying on a rock, comfortable, comfortable.
The sky and the earth, the mountains and the clouds.
Qing Feng and Freedom, Tranquility and Ethereal.
On the other side of the Hua Shan Sect.
"Hey!" You pieces of trash, hand over the totem, what level do you have that you don't even have any points in your heart? " As he spoke, he stomped his foot on the hand of the person in front of him.
The man on the ground cried out in pain.
"You can't do this, this is breaking the assessment's rules!"
"Break the rules? Is there? " The man's foot was still on the ground, twisting the man's hand.
The person on the ground felt pain and loosened his grip. A totem dropped from Zi Qing's hand.
The man bent down to pick up the totem, "Can't you hand it over as soon as possible? You have to suffer before you give it to me? "
The person on the ground still wanted to move, and reclaim the totem that had been taken away by someone else.
Tears fell from his eyes, "No, you can't do this. There's even a totem on top of Mount Hua. Why, why, why did you steal from me?" I only have this one totem, and I don't want to miss my contribution. "
The person on the ground wailed, and there was a hint of pleading in his voice.
The man kicked him away, "Can't? What in the world was impossible? Besides, the rules did not say that it was not allowed to be given to fellow disciples, nor did they say that everyone had to look for someone! "Go find trouble, you guys have it anyway, won't you guys come faster?"
The person on the ground wanted to struggle, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move even a centimeter.
He could only watch as his totem was taken away.
Two streams of tears rolled down his face.
Clenching his fists tightly, endless regret welled up in his heart.
Why
Why don't I train properly! Why am I inferior to others!? Why! Why!
he asked himself. Silently crying. The soil had been stained all over, and the tears had died as they dripped onto the soil.
In truth, he was also diligently cultivating. However, he had only entered the sect for a year. For others who had entered for three years, he was not a genius, nor was he a madman who cultivated every day.
He was just an ordinary person, a true ordinary person.
After lying down for a while, he struggled to get up. While there was still a chance, he had to hurry and find a few more totems.
Even though his totem was stolen, he wasn't sad at all. What made him cry was just a promise he made.
Before he went to Mount Hua, he swore to his people, "Once I go to Mount Hua, I will work hard. Otherwise, I'll also let down the money you've collected for me. If I succeed, I'll definitely be able to change our family in the future. I'll be poor for no more than three generations! Let me change it! " When he held the money, his eyes had already turned red. What he held in his hand was the money raised by his entire family.
His family's hope was to allow him to rise above the masses, allowing him to have some accomplishments in Mount Hua.
Unfortunately, after arriving at Hua Shan, he persisted in his cultivation for a period of time. Sometimes, he would slack off and sometimes even slack off.
On the way up the mountain, he said, "I'll definitely work hard …"
But now, he couldn't even win a single exam. Last fall, he had even told himself that he had come up too late and that he didn't have enough foundation.
What strange thing was it this time of winter?
Only when he felt pain in his hand, only when the regret in his heart surged, did he know! He had lied to himself! Everything was a lie! Have you tried? Really?
As he walked out of the Hua Shan Sect, he could not help but cry. This time, he could only receive the lowest amount of contribution points.
Contribution points were the most important currency on Mount Hua and could also be used to exchange for cultivation resources.
He had received the lowest amount of Contribution Points for a year. He had thought that he would experience some changes this time, but to his surprise, it was still the same! It was still the same! What have you changed in a year?
He didn't care about the pain in his body, he didn't care about the bruises on his hands. When the winter wind blew, his hands would hurt a bit more, but he endured it all.
Next year! I must be different! Next year! I am the other me!
Next year! You have to kneel and admit your mistake! Otherwise! I'm going to cripple you!
He pursed his lips and gritted his teeth.
He was like a mad man searching for a totem, even if it meant a piece.
What he was afraid of was that he would lose before he could do anything. What he was afraid of was that before he had the qualifications to compare himself with anyone, he had already lost.
"I've found it, I've found it, I've found it!" Tears streamed down his face as he held onto the totem with both of his purplish hands, holding onto the last trace of his humble dignity.
