Chapter 579

"Senior Brother, I'll go across first."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Jie led Zhang Chulan and the others toward the edge of the cliff.

"Mm, I hope you achieve a good ranking in the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao, Junior Brother, and show off your style."

Daoist Li offered his blessings.

'Senior Brother, everything is inside.'

As he brushed past Daoist Li, Zhang Jie stuffed something into his hand:

'1G of seeds, it's all inside.'

'1G of... seeds?'

Daoist Li's pupils shook, but his hand movements were not slow at all;

the object silently disappeared into his wide sleeves, leaving no trace.

Zhang Jie smiled slightly and stepped past him.

Is providing this kind of thing to Long Hu Shan disciples a violation of the rules and precepts?

Daoist priests are also human, and disciples of the Zhengyi sect are not like those of the Quanzhen sect; they are allowed to marry and have children.

Most of those fire-dwelling Daoists and family-lineage Daoist temples came about this way.

Zhang Jie is now a typical fire-dwelling Daoist:

This term sounds a bit mysterious, but it's actually easy to understand; "fire-dwelling" literally means "dwelling amidst the smoke and fire."

It means they live in the mundane world, have kitchens and stoves in their homes,

and live the family life of ordinary people, rather than cutting off worldly ties and practicing asceticism like monks.

Although they are also Daoists who have received formal religious ritual transmission (initiation),

fire-dwelling Daoists do not leave home; they usually live in secular society,

can marry and have children, and are not forced to be strictly vegetarian.

Of course, when performing religious services, praying for blessings for believers, warding off disasters,

or transcending the souls of the dead, fire-dwelling Daoists must also fast, bathe, and concentrate on self-cultivation.

If you see a Daoist who usually has a wife and children and lives in an ordinary residential house,

and only wears a Daoist robe and crown when performing rituals, then he is highly likely a fire-dwelling Daoist.

Besides, the disciples of Long Hu Shan are vigorous and full of vitality...

"Brother Jie, are we really going to walk across from here?"

Arriving at the edge of the cliff, Zhang Chulan looked at the abyss that was over a hundred meters deep, and then looked at the iron chains that, despite being exceptionally heavy,

were swaying left and right under the powerful wind; his legs were trembling, and he almost wanted to leave first.

If he fell from here, even with the Golden Light Spell on his body, he would probably be smashed into a little pancake, right?

By then, the person collecting his corpse wouldn't be holding a stretcher, but a shovel...

He was afraid of heights.

"Brother Jie, why don't you carry your little brother?"

Zhang Chulan came up with a plan.

With Zhang Jie's unfathomable methods, under the gaze of the guarding Daoist,

sending him directly to the opposite bank without being discovered wouldn't be a difficult task.

"Go yourself!"

Zhang Jie kicked Zhang Chulan in the butt with annoyance.

Caught off guard, he took several steps and landed right on the iron chain.

"Ahhh!"

As his body swayed up, down, left, and right with the iron chain, Zhang Chulan felt like a small boat in a storm

that could be overturned at any moment, and he let out a soprano scream.

Immediately after, he fell flat on his face, hugging the iron chain and shivering.

"Chulan, this is no threat to you at all."

Zhang Jie was speechless and reminded him.

These iron chains and the cliff look dangerous, and in fact, they aren't safe, but that's for ordinary people who don't exercise much.

As long as it's an extraordinary person who has practiced diligently for a few years, or even an athlete who has undergone hard training

and can master their own balance, it's not a difficult task.

After all, Long Hu Shan set up this assessment just to screen out those who are passing themselves off as something they're not,

or rookies who have just stepped into the extraordinary world; it's not meant to decide a winner here.

"J-Jie, Brother Jie, I'm a-afraid of heights."

Zhang Chulan cried with a mournful face, stammering his complaints.

"The more you fear, the more you must do it; the best way to face fear is to face it. Keep it up!"

Zhang Jie fed Zhang Chulan a bowl of chicken soup, then flew up with his hands behind his back and headed toward the opposite bank.

This kid Zhang Chulan won't show his true skills unless you put some pressure on him.

Playing the pig to eat the tiger has already become his instinct.

But the premise of playing the pig to eat the tiger is to remember that you have always been a hunting, ferocious tiger.

Otherwise, if you play the pig to eat the tiger for too long, you'll really turn yourself into a pig.

"Chulan, keep it up, Jie and I will wait for you on the other side."

Feng Baobao waved her pink fist to cheer Zhang Chulan on, then she stepped onto the iron chain,

and walked toward the opposite bank as nimbly as a lark.

"Brother Jie, Sister Bao'er..."

Zhang Chulan watched the backs of Zhang Jie and Feng Baobao getting smaller and smaller in his eyes and let out a desperate cry.

"Uh, Junior Brother Zhang, it's not like you absolutely have to participate in this Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao.

Why don't you come back first and participate next time?"

Daoist Li took in Zhang Chulan's embarrassment and offered advice.

When he was talking to Zhang Jie just now, he also learned of Zhang Chulan's identity.

Although Zhang Chulan had not yet been recorded in their Tian Shi Fu's registry,

since he had already received the Old Tian Shi's approval, Zhang Chulan was already a member of their Tian Shi Fu.

"No need, Senior Brother Li."

Zhang Chulan refused Daoist Li's suggestion without hesitation.

This Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao is the first one held by the Tian Shi Fu in decades; missing this one,

he doesn't know when he'd have to wait until. No matter what, he wouldn't give up this only opportunity.

"I'll risk it!"

Zhang Chulan gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, didn't look at the cliff below, and used both hands and feet to crawl forward.

Daoist Li watched this scene with trepidation; if Zhang Chulan slipped and fell, things would be a big deal.

The Tian Shi Fu holds a Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao, and a disciple of the Tian Shi Fu actually slips and falls off a cliff...

Daoist Li could already imagine this news appearing on the front page of the Jianghu Xiaozhan.

Society has already entered the information age, and the extraordinary world naturally keeps pace with the times and embraces the internet.

The Jianghu Xiaozhan is an extraordinary organization that integrates newspapers, websites, and interviews.

"Mommy, look, that big brother underneath looks like a caterpillar."

At this moment, a mature and beautiful woman arrived holding her daughter.

The girl looked at Zhang Chulan, who was wriggling forward, and let out a pleasant, silver-bell-like laugh.

"Big brother, keep it up!"

The little girl even clapped to cheer Zhang Chulan on.

"Uh..."

Being encouraged like this, Zhang Chulan just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

This is too embarrassing!

"I'm sorry, Lulu is still ignorant; I hope you, little brother, will be the bigger person and not hold it against a child."

The beautiful woman apologized to Zhang Chulan with embarrassment.

"Lulu, hurry up and apologize to this big brother!"

Immediately after, she sternly told the little girl to apologize.

"S-sorry, big brother."

Lulu pouted, but still listened to her mother and apologized to Zhang Chulan.

"It's just a child; children say whatever they want, no harm done."

Since they had already acted like this, what else could Zhang Chulan say? Naturally, he forgave her.

"You are a generous person, little brother."

"Thank you, big brother."

Lulu also thanked Zhang Chulan.

Then, the beautiful woman held Lulu, stepped on the ground with her red high heels,

and the mother and daughter immediately shot toward the opposite bank like arrows released from a bowstring.

Thump.

With a not-too-loud landing sound, the mother and daughter successfully reached the opposite bank.

"You can do it, Zhang Chulan, you can do it!"

To avoid other extraordinary people coming and falling into an embarrassing situation again, Zhang Chulan did some psychological preparation,

and continued to... wriggle toward the opposite bank, only his speed was several times faster.
