Chapter 556, Only Faith and the Sun and Moon Endure Throughout Time
Between the lofty mountains in the west, traces of human civilization were completely erased by plants here.
Old Li took Qin Sheng and set off into the mountains in the early morning, the two of them quickly traveled through the tumbling mountains, the mountains and forests were like flat ground for them.
When the two arrived at a six or seven meter wide canyon at a very high speed, they saw the two leap over it as if they were catfighting, without batting an eye.
This kind of canyon didn’t seem to be in their sights.
Whenever this happened, Qin Sheng would feel a sense of bravado in his heart that he had conquered nature.
But his teacher always told him that nature could not be conquered by mankind, and that all the rider had to do was to melt into nature and become a unique creature in this nature.
Just like Lao Li said to Ren Xiaosu, he always advised humans to come out of the barriers so that they could adapt to this world, or else they would only be eliminated.
He himself was doing just that.
Slowly, the two of them were gradually approaching the target location, Qin Sheng’s stamina was gradually depleting, Old Li stopped his pace and laughed, “You’re not a real knight yet, you have to save your stamina, the vertical wall that you’re going to climb with your bare hands this time is 600 meters, it’s not easy to go up.”
“Teacher, do you have to climb so high,” Qin Sheng smiled bitterly, “This is without any protection, in case you fall off, you’ll be lost.”
Old Li, however, was unconcerned, “You knight disciples, how can you be afraid of death? This is faith. Moreover, the height of 600 meters is the previous several knights summarized, why not climb 500, not climb 700, just 600 can open your body shackles, so did not let you climb more. You know that the knight climbed, but more than 900 meters. His glory you and I can’t reach, but 600 meters of height can’t be less, not even one meter less.”
The knight in Lao Li’s mouth was the founder of the Green Harvest Group, and today’s knight organization was full of believers of the knight, who took conquering nature and melting into nature as their beliefs, and took that knight as their beliefs, and always searched for the descendants of that knight.
The secret of the so-called knight to open the genetic lock of the body is in this process of conquering nature and melting into nature, that is the mysterious eight challenges.
Among them is the Surge of Force, or mountain cross-country.
There is also the birth of the sky, that is, high altitude skydiving.
The birth of water, that is, extreme surfing.
The Surge of Wind, which was wingsuit flying.
Now Qin Sheng has only one item left: gravity, 600 meters of unprotected unarmed rock climbing.
In fact, the Knights Organization didn’t mind if someone from the outside world knew this secret, they just hadn’t proclaimed it to the public; these eight challenges had to be completed by an ordinary person in order to completely open up that one shackle in the body.
In this process, if it is not extremely love and faith, it is impossible to complete the eight challenges, if someone completed, naturally will become a new knight believer, because after they complete the eight, see the knight’s light, will also understand that there is another mountain outside of life.
Each of these eight challenges was like a ghost gate, one had to die nine deaths to cross this threshold.
Old Li looked at Qin Sheng’s young face, full of vigor, just like himself fifteen years ago.
Now that he was 38 years old, he was no longer young, and although the functions in his body made him always powerful after opening the gene lock, his state of mind was destined to be different.
The other members of the knights are probably similar to him, everyone’s wish at the moment is just to find the descendants of that knight, they don’t have the chance to see that knight, but they want to see each other’s descendants, whether there is that knight’s elegance back then.
Old Li looked at the 600 meter wall in front of him and sighed: “These years we feel that there may not be any new knights in the future, after you there were people who went to challenge the wingsuit flying, but the result was attacked by birds in the air, the various consortia have also given up on the airplane as a tool, high altitude parachute jumping has also become an extinct song, the most difficult is still the surfing, and it is said that the Kong’s seashore has often been seen by people lately behemoths engulfing ships, even going out to sea has become difficult, surfing is even more unthinkable.”
Not to mention the difficulty of the challenge itself, the conditions of trying to accomplish this are even more demanding than before, how can you skydive if you can’t reach the sky? During the process of skydiving, there was also the possibility of being attacked by birds, which would not be a matter of nine deaths and one life, but ten deaths and no life.
So when Qin Sheng first started the challenge, someone in the organization had foreseen that these situations might happen, and trained Qin Sheng to complete the other challenges first.
The two of them walked through the woods, a smooth wall suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, Old Li was a little mesmerized as he looked at the wall, back then he also climbed up from here.
Old Li laughed, ”Back then when my uncle brought me here, I thought the same as you, is this a wall that humans can climb up? Surely it can’t be, right, but as it turns out, I did it, go Qin Sheng, go complete your last challenge and become the final knight.”
Qin Sheng took off his heavy fall clothes and changed into the climbing shoes and tank top and shorts that the two of them had specially brought with them, and stuck a magnesium powder pouch around his waist, this magnesium powder was to increase the friction between the palms of his hands and the rock wall, and to prevent his palms from getting slippery after sweating.
Old Li laughed, “Remember what I said to you?”
Qin Sheng glanced at Lao Li, “Remember …… that only faith and the sun and moon will never die.”
After saying that, Qin Sheng turned his head toward the big mountain, the sunlight of the autumn noon was not poisonous at all, instead, it made people feel a hint of warmth in the cold wind.
Normally, such unarmed rock climbing would require familiarizing oneself with the route in advance, and one would have to dangle a rope from the top of the mountain to lower the climber down a little bit, not only to familiarize oneself with the route, but also to clean up the debris on the rock wall.
However, this wall has already had many knights go up, Qin Sheng can even see the subtle traces on the wall, judging which route these knights climbed back in the day, as if his predecessors were showing him the way.
At this moment, Qin Sheng looked back at Old Li, as if all those knights who had once shone brightly were standing behind him and smiling at him.
Climbing all the way up the rock, Qin Sheng’s movements were as light and fast as an ape’s, only when he reached the position of more than a hundred meters, Qin Sheng began to feel that his physical strength was depleting at an accelerated rate.
He stood there, his arms clamped in the rock crevices of the rock wall to catch his breath and rest, looking up at the wall above his head, as if he could never see the end of it.
Just at this time, Qin Sheng saw that someone had carved a small line on the wall beside him: Zhang Qingxi stays.
Thinking that this should be the location where Brother Qingxi rested back then, Qin Sheng smiled as he adjusted his breathing and continued to climb upwards.
At this moment, it was as if those knights were climbing to the top with him.
Old Li under the Jedi wall also moved his body, carrying a bundle of ropes on his back and began to climb upwards, only for knights like Old Li, ascending such a Jedi wall had long since not been difficult, it was more like reminiscing about when he was a teenager.
