The young sect master looked at the retreating people and said secretly: It seems that this is the only one who has this courage.

"Disciple Zhang Shu is also willing to participate in the last two tests, if not, he will be guilty of the same crime!"

"Good!"

"I'll wait and see what you two are capable of!"

Hearing this, Mu Bai couldn't help but look at Zhang Shu beside him, never thought that there was another person here who dared to gamble with his life like him.

Then the deacon Dahan shouted loudly: "Second round, paint the spirit pattern! You wait to stand in front of this spirit pattern jade bi in turn, and the nine-sided jade will show a spirit pattern in turn! Every time the jade is displayed, you all need to go to the senior brother to paint the flowers! During the test, you must not make noise or disturb others, otherwise you will be directly disqualified!"

After the first jade bi was displayed, basically all the disciples could draw it completely.

On the second side of the jade, one person was eliminated!

On the third side of jade, five people were eliminated!

The fourth jade, twenty-three people are eliminated!

...... By the sixth jade, there were three people left in the test, one of them was Mu Bai, one was Zhang Shu, and one was named Lin Feng, and Lin Feng was promoted to the lower first round with the results of the first class.

On the seventh side of the jade, looking at the more and more complicated lines, Zhang Shu's forehead was full of sweat, and his eyes couldn't help but stare tighter, but at this time, Mu Bai was still as firm and indifferent as at the beginning!

After drawing the spirit pattern, Zhang Shu and Lin Feng barely passed.

Looking at Mu Bai who was so indifferent at this time, Lin Feng's heart had to be lifted, in his opinion, none of the people who dared to gamble on their lives in the future were simple characters!

When he reached the eighth jade, there was only Mu Bai left, and Zhang Shu passed the promised minimum standard line and did not try it again, he knew how hard he had a hard time in the seventh jade, so he no longer wasted his effort to try the eighth side.

On the eighth side, Mu Bai still passed easily, and the elder of the ruling array also stood up suddenly at this time, looking forward to seeing if this young man could pass this last side, but thinking that Mu Bai's spiritual power affinity was only one paragraph, he immediately shook his head and sighed and sat down.

In his opinion, no matter how high his comprehension is, if he doesn't cultivate to pave the way, he won't be able to reach the peak, and he won't be able to stand on the top of the immortals!

On the ninth side of the jade, Mu Bai also began to struggle a little, looking at the spirit pattern in front of him, his thinking kept changing with the direction of the spirit pattern, the spirit pattern changes became more and more complicated, and the beads of sweat on his forehead gradually intensified.

Let's go!

Sweat fell drop by drop, hitting the stone steps below, there was silence in the field, all the disciples looked at the stubborn back in front of them, and the sound of sweat was clearly audible!

Looking at the jade bi in front of him, Mu Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief, if this spirit pattern was more complicated, maybe he would really fail!

The pen on the paper did not pause at all, the spirit pattern was completed in one go, and the pen was used freely in Mu Bai's hands like his own arm!

The elder of the ruling array looked at the young man in front of him who shocked him, and felt more and more regret in his heart, the so-called "the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment", and he only passed the seventh jade bi when he started.

"The person in front of him has passed the ninth side, but it's a pity that his poor spiritual power affinity is destined to be difficult to achieve!"

The young sect master on the crane saw all this in front of him, but he didn't say a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

When the disciples were shocked by Mu Bai's results, they heard the deacon shouting loudly again: "Senior disciples, the first two items have been tested, and the sect master will personally take you to the test. ”

"Senior brother, my name is Chen Mengxiong, I will go back to the main hall of sect affairs to wait for you, senior brother here I wish you all a smooth test in advance!"

After speaking, he turned around and bowed to the young sect master on the crane, and then left with the nine disciples, and before leaving, he glanced at Na Mu Bai deeply, with a look of self-deprecation, and he didn't know what his plans were.

The young sect master from the high place looked down: "You wait for the immortal crane to come, and this sect will take you to Soul Bell Mountain." ”

The sect master at the foot of the Soul Bell Mountain looked at everyone: "This Soul Bell Mountain is different from other tests, it is not limited by the level of cultivation, the stronger the cultivation, the stronger its deterrent power, the willpower it tests, as well as the torture of the soul, will only be adjusted according to the level of your cultivation, because you have not cultivated, so the test you accept is also the highest test of the same grade for mortals!"

"And only the past sect masters have the opportunity to bring you here!"

Hearing this, Mu Bai's eyes froze, and he guessed in his heart: "Could it be that the sect master decided according to the test of this soul bell!" Thinking of this, Mu Bai couldn't help but look at the Soul Bell Mountain in the distance, but the mountain was cloudy and mist, blurry, and he didn't see anything. ”

At this moment, the young sect master turned around and looked at the disciples: "Okay, the Soul Bell Mountain has arrived, there are nine hundred meditating jade beds at the bottom of the mountain, you can sit on the jade and carry out the test, the jade is just within the range of this soul bell, when you sit on the jade, it is the time when the test begins." ”

Then he glanced at the fading sunset: "Tonight, you will rest outside this Soul Bell Mountain." ”

"This sect reads that you and the first two rounds of testing consume a lot of physical strength and energy, and each person will be given a Bigu Dan, this Dan can be a month without eating, you rest here for the night, and in the early morning of tomorrow, you will sit down at the same time and conduct the test. ”

Hearing this, the disciples replied, "Thank you for the gift of the sect master." ”

......

In the middle of the night, Mu Bai looked at the Bigu Pill in his palm, and couldn't help but admire the mystery of the immortal cultivator, and he didn't know that it was this kind of pill researched by the senior, a pill of Bigu Dan entered the stomach, and the hunger suddenly disappeared! It's just that it takes a lot of mind to test the second item in the morning, but at the moment it is relatively tired, it seems that I have to rest for a good night, and prepare my spirit to meet tomorrow's test.

Mu Baimeng, who had just been lying down, sat up violently, as if some inspiration flashed, and he thought for a long time: "Tired!"

"That's right! It's exhaustion! This mental exhaustion, what kind of Bigu Dan to eat, isn't hunger a test of willpower? And sitting on that jade, it doesn't consume physical strength, what's the use of wanting this Bigu Dan?"

Could it be that this test took an extremely long time? Mu Bai seemed to have discovered something, but what he didn't know was that he had far underestimated the difficulty of this test. Not everyone can persevere under the shock of this bell, and he is not the only one who has discovered the problem, "but it is one thing to find the problem, and another to solve the problem."

After all, "asking a question and solving a problem are two separate issues in themselves!"

The next day, the sect master led everyone to the foot of the Soul Bell Mountain: "The time for the test has come, and you will all enter the jade." ”

Everyone just sat down cross-legged, only to hear a bell ringing in their ears, the sound of the bell rang to Mu Bai's ears like a river wave, buzzing and deafening, and his head ached faintly, Mu Bai couldn't help but open his eyes and look at the person next to him, only to see that the person's body trembled slightly, as if he felt pain.

Seeing this, Mu Bai didn't dare to be lazy again, and hurriedly closed his eyes to prepare for the next bell.

The bell rang twice, and Mu Bai's body trembled slightly.

The bell rang three times, and Mu Bai's body trembled more and more violently.

The bells rang around, and Mu Bai could only hear the sound of tinnitus, and his head hurt sharply.

The bell rang five times, and someone was already forced to leave the jade.

The bell rang six times, and the number of people leaving was even greater.

The bell rang seven times, and there were five people left.

The bell rang eight times, only the three of them persisted, Mu Bai's body was no longer upright, his torso was trembling, and the other two were Zhang Shu and Lin Feng, compared to Mu Bai, the two of them were slightly unbearable, and they had already supported their bodies with both hands to prevent them from falling.

The bell rang nine times, Zhang Shu's ears and nose bleed, his teeth were clenched, and from his expression, he was afraid that he was miserable! At this time, Lin Feng was unbearable, all the seven orifices were dripping blood, the bell was finished, Lin Feng fell to the ground in response, and the five sword servants saw this and hurriedly took him away and fed him a pill, and then sent him out, at this moment, under the signal of the young sect master, the five people sent all those who did not persist back to the sect.

Looking at the two people who were still holding on in front of him, the young sect master felt for the first time that there were so many things that he didn't expect today.

At the beginning, he thought that only Mu Bai dared to accept the test among the people eliminated by the spirit measuring tablet, but there was one more Zhang Shu, he thought that Lin Feng was the one who insisted on it for the longest time, but it turned out that it was not, and then he thought that the two of them would leave the jade after this first level, but he was wrong again, only he knew, and only the sect masters of the past dynasties knew, and the test of this soul bell really began after nine rings.

Many people who had the opportunity to go through this test gave up because of the fear of the first nine voices in their hearts, in fact, it stands to reason that before this second round of tests is a test, a test of courage and courage, and the most fearful thing for these two people in front of them is courage!

Only wait for the second day, at the beginning of the day, the two of them are still in a trance, only to hear the sound of the bell vibrating, as if the "flood beast" pounced, this time the bell ringing on the heart and soul of the deterrent effect is the sum of the previous nine times, at this moment Mu Bai's brain is extremely painful, almost faint, but reason tells him that he can't sleep, if his eyes are closed at this time, he may never be able to open them again! Thinking of this, he hurriedly bit his tongue with his teeth to make himself sober.

Next to him, Zhang Shu was suddenly struck by lightning, his body trembled violently, and he fell on top of the jade, and a mouthful of blood spurted out directly from his throat, and he was in a trance! Fortunately, he did not faint.

The Sect Master in the sky above was also very surprised when he saw this scene, he never thought that the two people with the worst qualifications would have such a good level of understanding and tenacity!

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Could this be the method of checks and balances of the Heavenly Dao, such a "tough person has extremely poor talent!"

I think that his spiritual talent was excellent back then, but his comprehension was mediocre, and when it came to the test of this soul bell, he had just passed the second level, and he wanted to accept the test of the third level but fainted due to excessive mental fatigue.

That's all, among the ten batches of disciples in that hundred years, only seven of them passed this second level, and I think those six people are also extremely talented, one of them died of inner demons, and three died halfway, counting him, there are only three left, and they all have achieved something in the end. Because of general reasons, he finally ascended to the position of suzerain.

As for the people of the third level, since the establishment of the sect, only two people have passed, one of them is the founding great patriarch, and the other is the second sect master, and then counting him, the eleven sect masters have only passed the second level test.

I don't know if these two people can pass this third level, the young sect master is looking forward to it, if the two can pass, the sect will definitely be prosperous!

The two of them waited for a long time and did not see the bell coming, and they couldn't help but open their eyes and look at each other, their eyes full of doubts and puzzlement, could it be that the test is over?

Just as he was questioning, the voice of the sect master came from behind him: "Those of them couldn't hold on yesterday and have been sent back to the sect, and only the two of you have persevered until now." As for the second level of this test, it is "one ring a day, one ring one level," and you two should sit down and rest and prepare for tomorrow's test. ”

When the two heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other again, their mood was difficult to calm down for a long time, and after looking at each other and smiling, the two turned around and closed their eyes to recuperate.

In the early morning of the third day, the bell rang as promised, and this time there was no pain that Mu Bai thought.

This time, he was able to seem to have a dream, in which he became a scholar in the secular realm, fighting for fame year after year, but he failed again and again. In the eyes of others, maybe he is crazy about that fame, and even occasionally walks on the street and is pointed at by others, as a negative teaching material to educate children.

It's just that he kept telling himself in his heart, "Father's precepts are unforgettable!"

Nearly forty years old, Mu Bai finally achieved fame and fulfilled his father's dying wish. It's a pity that after a few years as an official, the country was robbed, the enemy country borrowed 500,000 troops to attack, dozens of cities in a month, the people in the country were panicked, half of the civil and military officials surrendered, and the emperor was angry and vomited blood. On the second day, Mu Bai wrote a letter requesting to resist the enemy, but because it was a civil official, he was refuted, and then he wrote nine times in three consecutive days, all of which were rejected.

In a fit of anger, Mu Bai carried the coffin into Beijing, admonishing each other with death, this time the whole dynasty was shocked, and the emperor was also shocked. The emperor never thought that nearly half a hundred scholars this year would have such a blood, and the courtiers who were rejected nine times in a row not only did not become disheartened, but asked for war with death, so he asked Mu Bai about his strategy against the enemy, and when Mu Bai finished analyzing the enemy and me, even the generals in the court also looked sideways, "The emperor never thought that a Wenchen also had such a strategy in his heart!"

The emperor then set up a high platform outside the imperial city, conferred on him the post of general, and set out on the same day to defend against foreign enemies!

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military looked at the back of the scholar with the coffin in front of him, and they were all ashamed. Since then, none of the civil and military officials have surrendered again!
