Zixia Palace has a long history, most of the main structure of the palace is wooden, the carved beams and painted buildings are very beautiful, and the wooden mortise and tenon structure fits, is strong, and the earthquake resistance is also very good. However, the biggest disadvantage of such a wooden palace is that it is afraid of fire, and once it is ignited, it is often devastating! At this moment, everyone in the side hall seems to hear the crunch sound of wood burning in the flames and the sound of "crackling" like a whip......

"There's a fire! Run, everyone!"

A few people close to the door shouted, and quickly stood up and ran out the door.

"Running out like this, does it count as not completing the test?" said the outer disciple who was anxious to urinate because of nervousness just now.

"Where are you still in charge now! Is it important to be sealed or is life important?" said the Kun Dao next to him, raising his leg and running in the direction of the door.

At first, Zhong Lin was also taken aback, thinking to himself why there was a fire at this time, but it was only for a moment that he calmed down. Because whether it is smoke or fire is coming in from the outside, it is obvious that the fire must be burning from the outside, today is the day of the seal ceremony of Zixia Palace, there are a lot of people waiting outside to watch the ceremony, if there is really a fire, the outside will already be in chaos, at least you can hear the sound of shouting for fire, and now there is no sound of shouting outside the side hall, isn't it strange?

In addition, Zhong Lin found that the people in the side hall who were shouting and rushing out, except for the disciples of the outer court, were lay priests and believers, and the disciples of the inner court were all sitting on the futon at the moment and did not move. The mountain eagle and lark did not run out, but squeezed in their direction......

"Don't panic, don't run around, be careful of squeezing and falling, and stampede!

It was Zhong Lin who shouted. Because he found that there were only two doors in the front and back of the side hall, and they were not all open at the moment, at most they could only accommodate two people walking side by side, and the threshold was high, if everyone ran out in a swarm, it was easy to fall down due to crowding and stampede.

Everyone who had not had time to run out of the side hall stopped one after another, and everyone's eyes all looked at the source of the sound - Zhong Lin.

Although Zhong Lin didn't use amplified notes, his voice was loud enough and shocking enough to make everyone shocked!

"What?it's all an illusion?!"

But then again, fire and water are ruthless, and the first reaction of ordinary people when they see the fire is to run first. But after Zhong Lin shouted like this, many people had already realized that something was wrong, because they had also found that all the inner courtyard disciples were sitting on the futon at this moment, their eyes were closed, and they didn't move at all.

"Damn, we've been fooled!"

An outer court disciple said with some annoyance.

"Yes, this fire must be an exam question!" was already a foot in the door and a foot outside the door, and seeing that he was about to run out of the side hall, he quickly withdrew his foot.

"Yes, you see, those inner court disciples didn't move at all......"

"It's just, we almost fell for it......"

......

Although everyone was a little annoyed, they were still a little lucky, because at least they hadn't run out yet.

At this time, I only heard Zhong Lin shouting loudly again: "Don't mess up, everyone should sit on the futon right now, close your eyes, hold your breath and concentrate, and calm your mind to eliminate the illusion!"

Except for the inner courtyard disciples and the twenty or so people who ran out in a panic just now, the remaining forty or so people all sat back on the futon and began to meditate......

In just an instant, Zhong Lin seemed to have become the spiritual leader of these people.

Plum Blossom Sparrow and Mountain Eagle had learned the method of meditation with Old Man Zhang before, and they were also sitting next to Zhong Lin at this moment.

At this time, there were less than eighty candidates left in the side hall, including the inner disciples!

Zhong Lin just held his breath a little, and the smoke and flames in front of him all disappeared, which showed that this illusion was just a relatively low-level illusion, several levels worse than the Five Elements Illusion Array he had encountered in Hongzhou before......

Compared to Zhong Lin, the others were not so relaxed, and many people had beads of sweat the size of beans oozing from their foreheads, including mountain eagles and plum blossom finch. I saw that their eyes were closed, their brows were tightly locked, and the muscles on their faces twitched from time to time as if they were spasmodic, and they could not suppress their painful expressions.

Although Shanying and Plum Blossom Sparrow followed Old Man Zhang to study Taoism for a long time, they didn't know how to eliminate illusions by holding their breath, but after all, they were specially trained special forces, and they had endurance that ordinary people did not have, and firm minds and tenacious spirit, so they have been gritting their teeth and persevering!

And some other people who are not so strong in concentration are a little unable to sit still. Although they already knew that everything in front of them just now might be an illusion, they really felt the smoke enveloping and swallowing them little by little, and the smoke made them feel that they could not breathe at all! Some began to cough violently, and some began to cover their mouths and noses with their clothes......

The flames slowly approached, and the mountain eagle only felt that the hairs on his body were wilting and curling like grass baked by the scorching sun. Maybe it's because of the heat expansion and cold contraction, all the pores are wide open. And the clothes that were baked by the flames and dried and about to catch fire clung to the skin, desperately sucking the juice oozing from the pores, as if to suck the whole person dry......

The clothes began to become hot and brittle, clinging to the flesh like tin foil wrapped in a chicken called flower, and from time to time there was a "bang" sound, and finally the "tin foil" began to melt and burn......!

The pinprick-like tingling sensation stimulates every cell in the body through every inch of the nerve, leaving them in unbearable pain......

Knowing and controlling and using fire has made humans different from other ordinary animals, and has also made human beings make great progress, but fire has always been feared by everyone. As the saying goes, "fire and water are merciless", there has always been a deep fear of fire in people's hearts!

"I can't stand it, help!"

The previous Kun Dao couldn't bear it anymore after all, he opened his eyes suddenly, went crazy, and stumbled towards the door of the side hall......

After that came the second, the third......

One after another, some people howled heartbreakingly and rushed out of the side hall! This also included at least six or seven inner disciples who had cultivated quite shallowly.

After two or three minutes, silence returned to the side hall, and there were less than fifty people left in the huge side hall.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"

After a crisp bell rang, the remaining people in the side hall opened their eyes one after another.

"Cool!haha"

The mountain eagle stretched his waist, shook his wrist, stretched his muscles, and listened to the "clucking" of the bones on his body......

"It's refreshing, it's like just having a sauna, and it's all over the body......"

The plum finch said as she wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hands.

"Did you carry it hard?"

Zhong Lin looked at the sweaty mountain eagle and plum blossom sparrow, and immediately understood, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart and cast an admiring glance at them.

You must know that if you don't rely on cultivation to resist, but only rely on willpower to resist, although it is only an illusion, it is more painful than the real fire, which is from the outside to the inside, through the skin to the nerves. The illusion is transmitted to the nerves through the human mind, and then transmitted to every inch of skin and every cell of the body, which is a kind of pain from the inside out, which ordinary people simply cannot bear.

"Hey, Boss, we've all been through the sea of knives and fires, and we've all been through the rain of bullets, this illusion is a fake! We're fine!" said Shan Ying, laughing innocently, beads of sweat sliding down with the muscles on his face.

"That's it, boss, the devil training week of the special forces is much more cruel than this! What's more, the boss has already told us that all this is an illusion, and if we can't bear it anymore, it's not like we have to go back to the furnace and reinvent it......"

Although the plum blossom finch said that she was very relaxed, it could be seen from her sweaty face and the green tendons on her forehead that she had experienced something compared to those truly relaxed inner disciples!

Feng Zhenren, Zhang Zhenren and the four little Taoist priests had already stood in the center of the main hall at some point. Zhang Zhenren said with a spring breeze on his face: "Congratulations to everyone, you can be said to be the most outstanding Approval Seal Master I have ever seen. ”

As soon as Feng Zhenren's words were finished, the two little Taoist priests standing behind him took the lead in applauding, and then the crowd applauded like thunder.

"So we passed?"

"Great, great!"

Feng Zhenren waved his hand, and the side hall was quiet again, only to see him continue: "Why do I say that? Because in the past, the assessment before the seal was at most a test, and it was similar to the first assessment today, so everyone was asked to draw a talisman. And today, due to the large number of people participating in the assessment, and there is a special task in it today, the second test was carried out, that is, the test of illusions. As for any special tasks, I will sell them here first, and I will talk about them after the seal ceremony is over......."

"Feng Zhenren, hearing you say this, have we passed all the assessments and can participate in the Seal Ceremony?"

An outer disciple said excitedly that he was one of the few outer disciples who had passed the assessment.

Feng Zhenren glanced at the outer disciple and said with a smile: "Congratulations, what you said is not wrong at all, now the forty-eight people who remain in the main hall have all passed the assessment, and you are about to participate in the next seal ceremony and become a real seal master!"

"Okay......"

After Feng Zhenren finished speaking, the crowd remembered the warm applause and cheers, especially the disciples in the inner courtyard, who were estimated to be swollen when they slapped their hands......
