In the Jia tribe, those who could climb mountains of blades and dive into a sea of fire were all called heroes.
The men of the Jia tribe were proud of being 'heroes'. They trained from a young age so that they could prove themselves to be heroes at the Torch Festival when they grew up. This was the tradition of the Jia tribe, and all men had to go through this test.
Although these two tests were not that difficult for the Jia tribe, it was more than difficult for outsiders. If they were not careful, they could even lose their lives.
In order to cure Feng Xiao of the curse, Feng Cang had to go through three tests. Three days later, he would face the first test — climbing the mountain of blades. Although Feng Cang was full of confidence, Mingyue Cheng was still worried. Those blades were extremely sharp, and if anything were to happen … Feng Qiqi would be the one who would suffer the most.
Mingyue Cheng went out for a stroll and returned with a man in his thirties. "This is my cousin, Ah Zha. He is a hero of the Jia tribe!"
Before coming here, Gu Yunwan had told Feng Qiqi many things about the Jia tribe, and one of them was about the heroes of the Jia tribe. Men who could be called heroes were those who had passed the trials of the mountain of blades and the sea of fire. Mingyue Cheng's cousin, Ah Zha, was one of the best.
Both Feng Cang and Feng Qiqi were very touched when Mingyue Cheng asked Ah Zha to help teach Feng Cang. Feng Cang and Ah Zha set a time to go to the top of Hundred Bird Mountain the next morning to learn how to climb the mountain of blades.
At the top of the mountain, Ah Zha built a simple mountain of blades. The so-called 'climbing the mountain of blades' was to tie sharp blades to a ten-meter-tall tree stump and use them as a ladder. The climber had to climb on the blades barefoot.
"These are real blades!" Ah Zha showed the blades in his hands to Feng Cang and the others. He hacked at the tree and the branches were immediately cut off. Wan Yankang exclaimed, "No way! Real blades? Won't your feet be cut when you step on them? "
Ah Zha took off his shoes and took a deep breath. He walked to the bottom of the knife ladder and climbed to the top in one breath. Whoosh! Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, he came down the knife ladder with ease with a 'clang clang'.
"Come, let me see your feet!" Wan Yankang was very interested in climbing a mountain of knives. He didn't believe that a person's foot could step on a knife's edge unscathed. When Ah Zha showed him his uninjured foot, Wan Yankang couldn't help but admire Ah Zha.
"Hero Azza, how did you do it? Can you teach me? Have you learned some kind of unparalleled divine technique? If I have such a divine skill, won't I be invulnerable in the future?! "
Wan Yankang's call of "Hero Azha" made Azha grin from ear to ear. It should be known that the men of the Yun clan loved to be called "hero". To be called a hero was something that made them especially proud.
"Look at my feet again!"
When Wanyan Kang took a closer look, he discovered that there was a thick layer of callus on Ah Zha's foot. The knife had left some fine marks on the callus, but because the callus was too thick, it didn't hurt Ah Zha's foot.
"It's over, it's over, cousin, you're finished this time!"
Wan Yankang repeated "finished" a few times, which angered Su Mei. She immediately threw a chestnut at Wan Yankang's head. "What do you mean by finished? The young master hasn't even started and you're already saying that he's finished? Are you cursing him? "
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!" Feeling the pain on his head, Wan Yankang immediately hid beside Feng Qiqi. "Cousin-in-law, look. The callus on Hero Azza's foot is obviously the result of years of training. Without ten years of training, how could he walk on a knife's edge?"
Wan Yankang was telling the truth. Ah Zha smiled as he put on his shoes. "I started training when I was eight years old. At first, I stepped on the sand with my bare feet. Then, I changed the sand to pebbles. Then, I changed the sharp pebbles to the back of a knife, and finally, to the edge of a knife. I've been training for eight years."
Feng Cang frowned at Ah Zha's explanation. Eight years? He clearly didn't have that much time. The day after tomorrow was the mountain of knives. How could he find the trick in such a short time? This was really a headache.
It was also Mingyue Cheng's first time seeing the mountain of knives up close. When he saw the gleaming knives, his heart sank. If such a saber stepped on his foot, wouldn't it cut his foot in half? How could Feng Cang pass the test of the Saber Mountain in two days?
While everyone was worried about Feng Cang, Feng Qiqi did not say a word. She simply stood at the side with Feng Xiao in her arms.
The mountain of knives reminded her of the Lisu Tribe in her previous life. Their specialty was to climb a mountain of knives and dive into a sea of flames. Feng Qiqi had once watched the performance of the Lisu Tribe and talked to their masters. Perhaps it would be helpful to Feng Cang this time.
"Hero Azza, can I trouble you to demonstrate it again?" Feng Qiqi came to the foot of the knife ladder and asked Ah Zha to demonstrate it again. From the side of the knife's edge, Feng Qiqi quickly found the trick. To climb the mountain of knives, one had to be fast, two had to be steady, and three had to be on the right spot.
Feng Qiqi whispered something into Gu Yunwan's ear, and Gu Yunwan immediately found five pairs of socks. Feng Qiqi handed Feng Xiao to Su Mei and put on five pairs of socks. Then, she walked to the side of the knife ladder.
"Qingqing, what are you doing?" Feng Cang grabbed Feng Qiqi. Feng Cang knew very well how sharp the knives were. Feng Qiqi seemed to be asking him to climb the mountain of knives. If he only wore socks, what if he hurt his foot?
"Cang, after watching Hero Azza climb the mountain of knives, I have a strategy that I'd like to try."
"No!"
Feng Cang and Mingyue Cheng stopped her at the same time. Ah Zha had already made it very clear that he had trained for eight years to achieve this result. Feng Qiqi had only seen it once. How could she get the hang of it?
"Cang, trust me!" Feng Qiqi pulled Feng Cang to the side. "Do you remember what I told you about my previous life? There's a mountain of knives in that world too! I once received guidance from an expert, so it should be the same as this. Don't worry, I'll be fine! "
Feng Cang could only nod his head in response to Feng Qiqi's assurance. It seemed like he would always' lose 'to Feng Qiqi's persistence. It seemed like he was going to be dominated by this woman for the rest of his life!
"Cang, look at where I'm stepping!"
Feng Qiqi smiled at Feng Cang before climbing the mountain of knives. Then, she mimicked Ah Zha and hooked her fingers on the knife's edge.
