Volume 1 Lingxi Seeking the Way

Chapter 005: Two Tests

"What about the monsters that came before?"

"Whoever can't break my mirage will naturally be burned by my soul fire, and whoever can break my mirage will have to pass the test of my master. I can't hold on for any longer, and the me you see now is actually my soul fire, and I should dissipate when you leave. ”

Yao Ze didn't know what to say for a while, he didn't feel that he was a destined person, he was just because his soul was stronger in cultivating the Divine Cultivation Technique, so he naturally wouldn't be easily confused by that mirage.

"My master is a god powerhouse, but the tribulation failed, and he sealed the remnants of the fire spirit before the army, waiting for someone to be destined. ”

Yao Ze was a little big for a while, "Is your master also a double-headed Jiao?"

"Who told you? My master is a firelin born from the fire in the center of the earth, and 10,000 years ago the entire continent was a famous powerhouse. ”

Yao Ze was speechless, it seems that the two-headed Jiao doesn't have a few words of truth.

"Don't be afraid, although I feel that you don't have mana, but since the master said that you are destined, he will definitely leave something for you. I was sealed by my master, and I can only stay at this stone gate, you go down the aisle, and if you can pass the two tests of my master, you will go to the master's room, you go. ”

Yao Ze thanked him, turned around and was about to step into the passage, when the voice of the mirage beast came from behind him, "My master's test is wisdom and courage, I hope you can pass it." ”

Yao Ze bowed, resolutely stepped on the black passage, his vision changed, and he was in the middle of a hall.

He was shocked to see that around the hall stood nine tall warriors in armor and armed arms, and if he looked closely, those warriors were motionless, but they were puppets. He took a moment to take a closer look around.

There were no doors or windows in this hall, and I didn't even know where I had come in, and the top of my head was inlaid with glowing gems, and it was strange under my feet, and nine white squares were neatly arranged on the dark ground.

"You're here. A voice rang out suddenly.

Yao Ze was startled and wanted to make a loud voice to him, but he didn't know where the person was.

"I am the master of this cave. The voice seemed to know what was going on in his mind.

"Ahh

"Don't be afraid, I'm just a divine thought left behind in my life, specially presiding over this test. ”

Divine thoughts? There are still thousands of years of divine thoughts, and it is false to say that he is not afraid, and he is very nervous in his heart.

"The Mirage Beast in front of the door should have told you that the test is divided into two levels. You are the fifth in these millennia, and hopefully you will be the first to pass here. ”

He muttered in his heart, and he didn't know where the first four were now.

The god seemed to really know what he was thinking, "The first four failed to pass the test, and of course they were torn apart by the puppet warriors. ”

The thought no longer seemed to give him a chance to think, and a loud voice echoed through the hall, "From now on, you have an hour to lead those nine puppet warriors into the squares on the ground, and make sure that their horizontal, vertical, and diagonal columns add up to equal. ”

Puzzled, he looked at the black and white squares on the ground, and then at the puppet warriors, not understanding what the master was trying to do.

Walking along the squares on the ground, I didn't find anything different, and I looked at the puppet warriors, all of them stiffened, like a mold poured out, but there was nothing unusual.

He was in a hurry, and the master said that in an hour, if it was not completed, it was really possible to be torn apart by those puppet warriors. I circled around the puppet warriors again, and saw the difference behind them, and each puppet warrior had a number behind it, from one to nine, and then I thought of what the master said, and he really jumped this time.

"Is it a map of the secular world?"

When he was in the Dayan Palace, since he was a child, his father invited some well-known Confucians to teach Yao Ze, including this vertical and horizontal map. Thinking of the past, he was in a trance, and seemed to see the voice and smile of his father and queen mother again.

He shook his head violently and returned to reality, this vertical and horizontal diagram has a set of formulas Yao Ze has been familiar with since he was a child, "The righteousness of the nine palaces, the law is a spirit turtle, wearing nine shoes and one, three on the left and seven on the right, two or four with shoulders, eight or six for the feet, and five in the center." ”

This master was a god power before his death, and it was not strange to know the vertical and horizontal diagrams of the secular world, and it was a great challenge to ask these first- and second-level demon beasts to answer these Qimen gossip, if he was not from the secular world, it would be impossible to find the answer in just one hour.

Yao Ze no longer hesitated, and directly bit the foot of the No. 5 puppet warrior, the puppet warrior was also quite strange, and walked forward with a little pull. Coming directly to the middle of the nine squares, he let go of the corner of his coat, and the puppet warrior stood still.

Then put those puppet warriors into place one by one according to the mantra, and when Yao Ze put the number six puppet warrior in place, the entire hall suddenly shone brightly, and the nine puppet warriors disappeared out of thin air, and a small wooden bridge appeared in front of them.

"Congratulations on passing the first level, the second level will begin, good luck. The voice was still expressionless.

He looked at the wooden bridge, which was supposed to be the second level. Without hesitation, stepping onto the wooden bridge, his vision changed again, a volcano towering into the sky, and a path paved with black stones loomed in the flames of the mountain.

Since the mirage beast said that the master's test is wisdom and courage, the vertical and horizontal diagram just now should be a test of wisdom, and it seems that this second level is a test of courage.

It did take courage to pass through this black path in this flame, but at this time there was no possibility of retreating, and he hesitated for a moment and stepped on the black stone path.

A piercing pain instantly came from under his feet, and the black stone seemed to have been scorched by the flame for a long time, and his four feet trembled.

This is what the master called a test, and it is better to be tortured directly. But if you retreat, it will definitely be lifeless according to the master's intentions.

The jade pendant around his neck glowed with a misty white light, but the scorching light ignored it.

He stood for a moment, feeling the pain numb a little, before he gently lifted his feet forward, but the pain began to scorch his soul, and it took him a while to come to his senses.

When you don't move, you just scorch your four legs, and when you move, you scorch your soul.

His soul was extraordinarily huge, but the pain was also exceptionally clear, and the pain reminded him of the unforgettable scene on the Cangshan Mountain in the north of the realm, and slowly his eyes became red.

The painful stimulus evoked painful memories of him, and he hated everything in front of him, and opened his mouth wide to hiss at the volcano. The pain was nothing compared to his heart-rending lungs on the mountain. He strode forward to see where the abominable pain was coming from, and the flesh on his four feet slowly turned to smoke......

The flames on the volcano seemed to be stronger, and the black stones on the path slowly turned white, and the scorching temperature seemed to be higher.

Yao Ze didn't seem to be aware of these changes, the deeper and deeper pain didn't seem to be on him, his four feet had long been devoid of flesh and blood, and he was walking on the stones with bones, without taking a step back.

A quarter of an hour...... A pillar of incense...... The day had passed, and his spirit was already in a trance, supported by a faith, and he wanted to see where the abominable pain came from.

It was as if I had woken up from a nightmare, and the black passage was still in my eyes, and the stones embedded in my head were still glowing red, as if nothing had happened. He looked at his four legs, and there was no sign of injury, could he really have a dream?

Suddenly, the voice sounded again, "Congratulations on passing the second test, the road to cultivation requires not only wisdom, but also perseverance and courage. As a reward for you, you can get a small gift that I left for you. My mission is over, and I hope you go further. ”

Yao Ze believed that he had really passed the test, nodded into the air as a respect, and followed the passage Yao Ze to a room, which should be said to be a cave.

The cave seemed empty, there was nothing but a fire pool in the middle, and in the purple flames lay a wreckage, more than a foot long, and a red ball floating above the fire pool.

His consciousness swept away, and the wreckage was purple and red, and only a skeleton remained in the flames. When his consciousness touched the ball, a sudden change occurred, and the ball that was originally stationary turned up and shot straight at him.

In a hurry, he opened his mouth wide, and the ball burrowed into his stomach without any stopping. He smacked his mouth, feeling that there was nothing abnormal, could this be what the god-transforming powerhouse left behind?

It's just that he didn't notice that a red point of light appeared in his sea of knowledge, and the red point of light in the sea of knowledge rotated leisurely, emitting a misty red light every time it rotated, making Yao Ze's sea of knowledge more solid. In that distant and unknown space, seven shining stars, shining brightly, became much brighter.

He walked around the hall, finding nothing more, bowing to the wreckage in the fire, and then walked out of the room.

Although the skeleton was a treasure, he didn't have any delusions to collect it. He hadn't really been exposed to cultivation yet, and the best magic weapon for demon beasts was of course their own bodies.

The mirage beast was still crawling at the door, and when it saw Yao Ze coming out so quickly, it couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "It's okay so soon? Didn't my master pass on your fire spirit?"

Yao Ze described the situation inside, of course, the matter of the round ball would not be mentioned to anyone, after all, if anyone had crooked thoughts about him, he would have no power to fight back.

The mirage beast shook its head and sighed, sighing, "My master used to crisscross the continent, but now the catastrophe has failed, and there is nothing left after the army is dissolved." ”

"Senpai know how to get out?"

"Of course, but when the door opens, it will be the day when my soul is gone, but I am also liberated, and I have waited for my master for thousands of years, and I should re-enter the cycle of reincarnation. ”
