Chapter 1018: Trial (I)
"Cultivating immortality is to break through life and death, since I have the opportunity, why don't I fight for it?"
At this moment after he came to his senses, Fang Yi felt like an initiation, and his whole person became clear, the incident he encountered in front of him may only be a very small thing on his cultivation path, if he can't even cross this threshold, then his cultivation path is afraid that it will come to an end.
Fang Yi raised his head, his eyes brightened, and he said loudly, "I agree to the trial!"
"Well, man will compete with the sky, the earth for food, and the beast for survival, and I hope you can pass the trial!" the voice rang out.
"Thank you!"
Now that the decision has been made, Fang Yi has no more gains and losses, but Fang Yi is a little curious about the person behind this voice, and said at the moment: "Although I don't know your name, can you come out and meet me?"
"Meet me?"
Hearing Fang Yi's words, the voice revealed a hint of confusion, "I don't have a body, how can I meet you?" The aura in this place is getting thinner and thinner, I don't know when it will be opened next time, maybe you and I will see each other indefinitely, right?"
"No body?" Fang Yi suddenly thought of his own Jun Tianding in his mind, and suddenly said in a lost voice: "Could it be that you, you are an instrument spirit?
"Artifact?"
For Fang Yi's words, the voice was obviously a little scoffing, "Who can refine such a magic weapon?" But I am familiar with the word machine spirit you said, strange, I seem to have heard this name, am I the machine spirit you said?"
The disembodied voice had obviously lost some of its memories, and its words were a little disorganized, and from time to time it would fall into thought, and after a while it continued: "This was originally a small cave, and my master refined it, by the way, who is my master? Who am I?"
"Refining the Little Cave Heaven, can the Little Cave Heaven also be refined?"
Hearing the words from that voice, Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, he knew that in the Taoist classics, Xiaodongtian actually meant the secret realm, in ancient times, there were people who could refine the secret realm, before hearing this sentence, it was simply unimaginable for Fang Yi.
"What's so strange about this? A truly powerful person can pick the stars and the moon and refine a small cave of heaven. ”
That voice didn't know how long it had been since he had communicated with anyone, and he almost had to answer Fang Yi's words, but he had a lot of things he couldn't remember, and he couldn't tell his origin all the time.
"Well, I'm alone. ”
Fang Yi had seen those murals about antiquity on the secret giant city in Cambodia, and knew that what this voice said was not a lie, and there were not a few pictures such as the fall of stars in those murals.
"I remember seeing those images, why can't I remember them?" the voice seemed to be recalling something, and after a long silence it sounded again, "Are you ready for the trial?"
"It's done, how did the trial go? How can it be considered a successful trial?"
Fang Yi nodded, and took the opportunity to ask a few more questions, although he decided to participate in the trial, it didn't mean that Fang Yi didn't want to know more about the rules of the trial, he didn't want to die here in a daze because of ignorance.
"Advance, or die!" The answer given by the voice was a little cruel, in his opinion, those who were not yet innate cultivators entered here, it was not a trial at all, only those in the Qi refining period could let him start the trial.
As for Fang Yi, it was this voice that lowered the trial standard of the Qi Refining Period by another specification, as for whether Fang Yi could pass or not, that was to depend on Fang Yi's creation, in a word, he was in charge of killing or burying, life and death and wealth all depended on Fang Yi himself.
"What exactly is the content of the trial?" Fang Yi asked with some reluctance.
"The world in which the Qi Refiner lives is accompanied by death all the time, and if you want to live, you can only become stronger and accept your trials. The voice didn't answer Fang Yi's question, but said something inexplicable.
"Hey, hey, you'd be clear. ”
Fang Yi shouted a little anxiously, but before he finished speaking, he felt that the sky was dark for a while, which made Fang Yi involuntarily close his eyes, and when Fang Yi opened his eyes again, he found that the surrounding environment had suddenly changed.
Originally, Fang Yi was in a man-made hall, but now Fang Yi found that his surroundings had become empty, and there was actually a blue sky and white clouds above his head, and the surrounding area was full of green trees, and even the sound of gurgling water could be heard in Fang Yi's ears.
"Promotion or death, range of activity, five hundred meters ......" If it weren't for the voice ringing in his ears again at this time, Fang Yi almost thought that he had come out of this secret realm and came to a certain scenic spot in China.
"What is this place?"
Fang Yi looked around vigilantly, his body was already tense, I don't know why, Fang Yi actually gave birth to a deep crisis in this place of green trees and flowing water, and the feeling was only strong, which made Fang Yi's sweat pores explode.
The voice didn't sound again, and no one answered Fang Yi's question, but the next moment when Fang Yi's voice just fell, he suddenly felt a tingling on his scalp, and then there seemed to be a strong wind blowing above his head, Fang Yi hurriedly shrank his head, and his body quickly rolled backwards.
"Hmm, still following yourself? Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, what the hell is this?"
Feeling the danger that followed him, Fang Yi kicked forward with his right foot vigorously, his foot was infused with all the true qi in his body, even a big stone could be kicked and shattered, only to hear a loud "bang", Fang Yi found that a black thing was kicked out by himself.
"So hard?" When he kicked the black object, Fang Yi only felt that his right foot felt like he had been kicked on an iron plate, and he couldn't help but grin in pain.
Fang Yi's cultivation, although he had not really been able to enter the Qi Refining Period, had already touched the threshold of the Qi Refining Period, his True Yuan was extremely thick, this kick made the monster that attacked him also very uncomfortable, and his body quickly disappeared into a bush more than ten meters away from Fang Yi.
"Hurt?"
Fang Yi, whose attention was all on the bushes, suddenly felt a trace of liquid flowing from his eyelids, and touched it with his hand, but found that his scalp was torn off with hair, if Fang Yi's movements were a little sluggish just now, I am afraid that even the Heavenly Spirit Cover would be grabbed by that monster.
"Fuck, what the hell is this? so powerful?"
Taking a deep breath, Fang Yi stabilized his emotions, and the blood on the scalp wound slowly stopped, Fang Yi knew that the more panicked he was at this time, the faster he was afraid that he would die.
After hiding in the bushes, the monster never appeared again, but Fang Yi could feel that the crisis still existed, and with a movement of his mind, Fang Yi released his divine sense, and touched the short blade obtained from the secret realm of Cambodia on his waist with his right hand.
"Well, it's not here?"
Fang Yi originally thought that the monster was hiding in the bushes in front of him, but when his divine sense swept away, he found that there were no creatures in the bushes at all, and he didn't know when, the monster had already shifted its location.
This made Fang Yi a little frightened, under the condition of letting go of the six senses just now, the monster was still able to leave quietly, which showed that its skill in concealing its body was very powerful.
"If you can hide from my eyes and ears, I don't believe you can hide from my divine sense?" Fang Yi slowly moved towards the bushes quietly, but in fact, Fang Yi's divine sense spread out to the surroundings.
"So it's hidden in a tree?" Just when Fang Yi was still four or five meters away from the bush, he suddenly stopped, because on the big tree not far above Fang Yi's head, Fang Yi's divine sense sensed a black mass.
"What is this?" The sight observed by the divine consciousness was basically the same as what he saw with his own eyes.
The object that appeared in Fang Yi's consciousness at this moment was covered with a short layer of black hair all over its body, but the hair on its head was white, a pair of golden claws were firmly on the trunk of the tree, its body was about a meter long, and the black hair on its face was slightly less, it looked like an ape, but its eyes were closed and its ears were constantly stirring.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, is it a monkey?"
Although Fang Yi had never seen a monkey with golden claws, the monster's appearance was really the same as a monkey, except that it seemed to have a disease in its eyes, it was always closed, and it looked very weird.
"Could this be a Akajiri horse monkey?"
Fang Yi's heart moved, he had never entered school since he was a child, but the miscellaneous books that Fang Yi had read were far from being comparable to those students who had received traditional education, and after the divine sense saw the appearance of this monster clearly, a term popped up in Fang Yi's mind.
The Akajiri horse monkey first appeared in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has such a description of it, that is, "its shape is like an ape, with golden eyes and snow teeth, and it is light and sharp", and the Akajiri horse monkey is also called Wu Zhiqi in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Legend has it that when Yu ruled Huai, Wu Zhiqi was defeated by Dayu because of evil, locked in the Huai Well, this is the famous "Yu Wang Lock Jiao" story, to this day, there is still the existence of "Zhi Qi Well" on the side of the Huai River.
And in the Ming Dynasty, Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West" also has a description of the Chijiri horse monkey, that is, the Monkey King who everyone knows now, in terms of image, Sun Wukong is the copy of the Chijiri horse monkey, it can be seen that Wu Chengen was probably also familiar with the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" back then.
"Could it be that the Akajiri horse monkey uses its ears to identify my location?"
Fang Yi's mind turned sharply, his body stood motionless in place, and at the same time sealed all the qi around him, in this way, Fang Yi's whole person was like a stone, if he didn't stand in front of him, even a cultivator of the same level as him would find Fang Yi's existence through his breath.
Sure enough, after Fang Yi stopped moving, the monster on the tree that was suspected to be a red jiri horse monkey began to become anxious, and the frequency of the ears, which were slightly smaller than human ears, also accelerated a little, and the eyelids of the closed eyes were constantly trembling, as if they could open at any time.
Seeing that he had touched the shortcomings of the Akajiri horse monkey, Fang Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the monster's ghost-like movements made Fang Yi very jealous, if he couldn't find its trace, then Fang Yi could only be in a passive situation.
Although Fang Yi subconsciously felt that this Akajiri horse monkey was very different from the legendary Akajiri Horse Monkey in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Fang Yi did not dare to relax at all, and his divine sense was tightly locked on the monster's body.
His mind was flying, Fang Yi was thinking about how to solve this Akajiri Horse Monkey, he didn't have to think about it, he knew that this Akajiri Horse Monkey must be part of the trial, but Fang Yi couldn't understand that even the machine spirit of this secret realm had become ineffective because of the years, why could this Akajiri Horse Monkey still live until now?
His eyes drooped slightly, Fang Yi looked to the ground, he found that at the tip of his toe, there was a fist-sized stone, Fang Yi suddenly thought about it, his toes suddenly picked up on that stone, almost at the same time that the stone was provoked, the monster that Fang Yi's divine sense locked onto instantly turned into an afterimage.
The monster that could show an afterimage in the divine consciousness could see how fast the movement was, but Fang Yi, who had expected it a long time ago, directly waved out his right hand holding the broken blade when he couldn't lock on to the monster, which was Fang Yi's move completely by feeling.
The broken blade that Fang Yi obtained from the secret realm in Cambodia was only a few inches long, and he couldn't hold it with his hands at all, so he could only hold it with two fingers, but don't look at the extremely short broken blade, under the condition that Fang Yi was infused with True Yuan, the front end of the broken blade showed a sword that was more than two meters long.
Just when Fang Yi swung out the broken blade, the Akajiri horse monkey on the tree happened to jump down, although its movements were extremely fast, but when it fell, it just met the blade of the broken blade, Fang Yi only heard a soft sound in his ears, and the monster was already in a different place.
"Damn, if I didn't have this weapon, I really wouldn't be able to solve it. Fang Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, what he did just now made him almost infuse all his spirit, seeing that the monster was decapitated, Fang Yi only felt that all the strength in his body had been drained.
"Hey, why isn't there any blood spilled?"
Before Fang Yi could breathe a sigh of relief, he found that something was wrong, the monster that was cut in two by him did not even show a trace of blood, and when he looked down, Fang Yi found that the monster's body was actually slowly blurring.
"What's going on? Isn't it an entity?" Just when Fang Yi couldn't figure it out, a phantom suddenly overflowed from the body of the virtual monster, attaching itself to Fang Yi's body, and instantly merged into Fang Yi's body.
"Huh, this, this is mental power?"
Fang Yi was startled at first, and then his face showed joy, because he found that when the phantom entered his mind, Fang Yi's spiritual power, which had consumed a lot of energy just now, was suddenly replenished, and there was a slight increase.
