Chapter 22: The Spiritual Trial Begins
Kuroki Village, Square.
There was a lot of darkness among the young and old, including those who were far over ten years old, and they were all led by their parents to observe the grand ceremony of the spiritual trial.
The spiritual test is the first step of the monk's enlightenment, and it is the most important step to open the body and hide the spirit, a good place for the spiritual test is what all monks rush to, it is more like a kind of heritage, a kind of cultivation of offspring, and Kuroki Village undoubtedly has such a foundation.
Kuroki Village may seem ordinary, but it has an extraordinary history, and the village's oldest texts vaguely record the glory of the past.
A black tree originated here, and finally disappeared into this world, and the large pit left behind after the disappearance of the black wood was also worshiped as a miracle by those villagers, and the first group of Kuroki residents were also formed.
Although they don't know whether what is recorded in the classics is true or not, there is no doubt about the strength of the spiritual test in Kuroki Village, this remote village will always attract some mysterious people to bring their juniors to participate in the spiritual test, but it may be because of the special geographical location of Kuroki Village, and there are not many outsiders who come.
"The annual spiritual test is about to begin, please prepare for this opportunity to change your future!"
The patriarch was holding a piece of black wood in his hand, the incomparably well-proportioned black wood was like a handicraft, but the breath of life emitted on it was incompatible with its appearance, and anyone could know the peculiarity of this wood.
"The Holy Spirit of Kuroki Village, I am the elder of the 937th clan of Kuroki Village, and I am here to open the platform for the spiritual test of future generations with the body of the Holy Spirit, hoping that the Holy Spirit of Kuroki Village will allow it. The patriarch clasped his hands together, the black wood between his thumbs, and prayed with a very devout expression.
The villagers of Heimu Village also closed their eyes and began to pray, including Suning Cycad, two outsiders, who also lowered their postures and prayed with awe.
Su Daoyang heard Su Tie's information and closed his eyes.
At this moment, Kuroki shook slightly, and a black light appeared and dragged Kuroki to the square, where Kuroki hung silently.
Suddenly, the square began to shake, and the movement was like a giant beast breaking through the seal, and the entire Kuroki Village was in a state of shaking, and the children who were preparing for the spiritual test looked frightened, while the older children and others had a flat face, as if they were accustomed to the scene.

The floor tiles of the square cracked, and a high platform came out of the ground, small at the top and large at the bottom, several feet high, and this high platform happened to have three sides, each side of which had a staircase from the bottom up.
"The platform of the spiritual test has appeared, the juniors of Heimu Village should go up and show your demeanor!" The clan elder took a few steps back, just out of the range of the high platform.
A group of hairy boys below are all gearing up to try, there are more than 100 households in Heimu Village, and there are only a dozen people who have just arrived at the age of the spiritual test.
"I'll come first. A child with a pigtail couldn't wait to jump out, approached the high platform and learned the tone of an adult, and said to the onlookers: "The boy is willing to be the first person, of course, the first person to take the spiritual test is also sure!"
The little pigtail baby is full of confidence, and the meaning is obvious, he must not only be the first to appear, but also the one who is the best in the spiritual test.
"Okay, Tong Jianping counts one, and there are two more to make up a round of spiritual tests. The patriarch looked at the pigtail baby with satisfaction, he still liked this lively doll.
"I'm Lin Yong too!"
"And me, Zhou Yin. ”
Immediately, two people stood up and wanted to participate in the first round of spiritual tests.
"Okay, the three of you climb the high platform on your own, remember that each step is one of the important processes of the spiritual test, and comprehend it on your own, how far the spiritual test can go depends on your talent. The patriarch solemnly admonished the three of them.
The three of them nodded and walked towards the high platform, which was several feet high.
The stairs on the platform are so large that a ten-year-old must use all his strength to climb them, and the aura emitted from the platform from time to time disturbs the climber.
Those with better Dao roots will be less disturbed, and the spiritual test is not only a test of talent, but also a way to test will, and cultivators must not only have excellent talents, but also perseverance and willpower are extremely important.
Therefore, only those who climb on the high platform are truly qualified for the spiritual test, and it is precisely because of the reward of the spiritual test that Kuroki Village attaches great importance to this spiritual test.
Over the years, there has been no shortage of talented people who have received supreme recognition, which is a reward that can change a person's future.
The three of them walked to the side of the high platform and began to climb the side of their choice.
There are nine steps on the platform, and if you stop at the stairs, there will be no reward and no vision. And there will be all kinds of spiritual power pressure on each layer of stairs, and this kind of spiritual power pressure is a big burden for those who do not have this kind of spiritual power Dao root, and the slightest carelessness will be the end of falling off the high platform.
As for the spiritual power Dao Root, the basic Dao Root is nothing more than that, the five elements and four images are gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light and darkness, as for the higher-level Dao Root, it is not nothing, but it rarely appears at this stage, because the higher-level Dao Root is not at all what this realm can bear, and without the basic Dao Root as the foundation, having a high-level Dao Root is like rootless water that cannot last for a long time.
The coercion caused by the spiritual power of heaven and earth appeared on the stairs from time to time, and the three of them were staggering to climb. Tong Jianping's speed is the fastest among the three, no wonder he dares to take the lead among everyone, it can be said that he is very confident.
The invisible coercion affected the movements of the three of them, Zhou Yin couldn't support it first, and fell on the fifth step, and Lin Yong and Tong Jianping also felt nervous when they saw this scene, and the more they didn't dare to relax, they began to climb with all their strength.
"The fewer Dao Roots that fit with it, the greater the difficulty of climbing, and the degree of fit also has an impact on coercion, so this is a process of fighting for the quantity and quality of Dao Roots. Su Tie was talking to himself now, but he was actually talking to Su Daoyang.
He knew Su Daoyang's physical condition, the Dao root was closely related to the dantian spiritual vein, and Su Daoyang's dantian spiritual vein and acupuncture points were all in a state of nothingness, so you can imagine how unbearable his talent was, if it weren't for everything he saw from the life pattern, he would definitely let Su Daoyang live an ordinary life in peace.
"Yang'er, do you really want to go to the spirit test platform?" asked Su Tie solemnly.
He was afraid that Yang'er would not be able to climb up, so he would lose confidence and collapse, after all, a person who had no Dao roots had little hope in his cultivation.
"I want to try, I'm already on the mental side anyway, and I won't mind without Dogen. Daddy, don't worry, your son is not a fragile person. Su Daoyang seemed to have guessed Daddy's concerns, so he explained happily.
"Well, then you can try it with all your might, the spiritual test in Kuroki Village is full of surprises. "Cycads also want to open.
