At this time, Jiang Ning didn't know how much time he had for trials in this world, but that sense of urgency told him that time was running out.

If he stopped refining the two white lotuses at this time, he was afraid that he would not have enough time to explore the remaining parts of the palace, so Jiang Ning chose to put away the white lotus, and it would not be too late to refine them after returning to the Tianhe trial.

I thought that the area of the underground palace would be very large, but Jiang Ning walked all over the East Garden, only to find that it was a separate courtyard and was not connected to other places.

In other words, after walking here, the underground palace seems to have come to an end, but according to the scene seen above the suspension bridge before, it is obvious that the internal area of an underground palace of this scale cannot be so small.

managed to catch two more fish in the lake, roasted them and put them in the ice lake of Xiaotiandi to freeze them, and used them as food reserves for the future, Jiang Ning returned to the front yard.

Since the east garden is not accessible, the passage to the next place must be in one of the four gates connected to the front yard.

Moreover, when Jiang Ning came back from the East Garden, some changes had already taken place in the front yard.

The most obvious change is that above the four gates, there was originally nothing, just ordinary doors, but now, on the side of the door, a cyan stone slab appeared, and the words belonging to the original world were engraved on the stone slab.

From left to right, from east to west, these stone slabs are engraved with the words "Wanghe Pavilion", "Zhiyuan", "Tibetan Cave" and "Wenchang Pavilion".

The stone slabs on all sides are slightly lit up, emitting a misty clear light.

The black flame in Jiang Ning's body, which had already fused with his heart, beat slightly, driving his heart to beat faster.

He could clearly feel that there was a strong attraction emanating from those stone slabs, as if as long as he pressed his hand on the stone slabs, the black flames in his body would be immediately sucked away.

"Choose one of the four, is the price of the black flame in my body?" Jiang Ning said in his heart.

At this moment, he had already comprehended the meaning of the original owner of this underground palace.

The black flame in your body is equivalent to a ticket to enter the courtyard at this moment, if you want to keep the black flame in your body, then you can't enter any of the four courtyards, if you want to enter one of the courtyards to find an opportunity, then you have to give up the black flame in your body.

This is a multiple-choice question.

Between the benefits that have been obtained and the benefits that may be obtained, Jiang Ning must make a choice.

If he chooses one of these four courtyards, then he will lose the black flame's bonus and transformation of the heart and body, but in the courtyard he chooses, there may also be more powerful treasures that can make his strength go to the next level in a short period of time, but the opportunity in the four gardens is also very likely to be unsuitable for him, or even if he enters the courtyard, but there is no way to get the opportunity in the garden, then it is equivalent to losing the black flame that he spent a lot of effort to get before。

Jiang Ning knew that he had never been a gambler, but now, no matter what, he had to choose to gamble.

The black flame is good, but during this period of time, it has also transformed his heart and blood much stronger than before, which has a subtle impact on Jiang Ning's body, if it can be longer, the effect will definitely be better.

However, Jiang Ning felt that the master who designed this underground palace should not be so bored that the interloper gave up the black flame that he had worked so hard to get, and after entering, it was an empty city trick with no chance.

Therefore, Jiang Ning felt that the worst result he might encounter was that he paid the price of black fire, entered a certain garden, and found the opportunity hidden in the courtyard, but unfortunately, he did not have the ability to take away the treasure, and he could not get it by sitting on the treasure mountain.

In addition, no matter what the situation is, for Jiang Ning, he will encounter at least one decent opportunity, and the value of this opportunity will definitely not be smaller than the black flame, as long as he can successfully get the opportunity in his hand, then the black flame lost at the door before will be insignificant.

Nowadays, it is not easy to be small and big, and it is simply a matter of necessity to have a little price.

Therefore, Jiang Ning just thought about it for a moment, and immediately made up his mind that in this last time, he must enter one of the secret places to take a look, although he has to pay the price of this black flame as an entry, but once he can get some gains, the benefits he gets here are already not small, and when the time comes, Jiang Ning's strength progress should be far beyond his own imagination, and at that time, a black flame, he naturally doesn't have the heart to care about anything anymore.

At this time, it was already raining in the outside world, and the final war between the Lishan tribe and the Chiyuan tribe had ended, and none of the damned people had survived, and the last building in the Lishan tribe had been pushed up.

Jiang Ning, who was in the underground palace, stood there, closed his eyes, and quietly felt his heart.

Since he decided to go in, he still has to make a choice between the four of "Wanghe Pavilion", "Zhiyuan", "Tibetan Cave" and "Wenchang Pavilion".

So, is the fate in the garden related to the name on this stone tablet?

Jiang Ning felt that there was nature, but if not, why bother to make a choice for him?

The first thing that Jiang Ning excluded was Wenchang Pavilion.

Although he himself knew some poetry and books, he had never been very interested in the so-called things that were applied to the world, especially for the governance of the dynasty and the operation of the country.

Since it is called Wenchang Pavilion, even if the so-called chance in it is not the kind of thing that Jiang Ning imagines at the moment, there must be some connection.

And these, at least on the surface, are not the type that Jiang Ning likes.

The remaining three, Wanghe Pavilion is a little unclear to Jiang Ning, so, based on the name alone, it is not possible to judge what the opportunities are inside, it may be what they need, and there is a certain possibility, those opportunities are not of much benefit to themselves.

And among the remaining two, the garden is in Jiang Ning's concept, probably hiding a certain way of cultivating the state of mind, and the cave is more intuitive, there will be such a place in many gardens and castles, its role is generally to store weapons, and it can even be used as a place for soldiers to hide in wartime.

The Shenyin longsword in Jiang Ning's hand, in the original world, is an extremely high-end weapon, but after coming here, although the material is still quite good, after many battles there is still no wear, but obviously, the material of the Shenyin longsword can only be regarded as good in this world, but there is still a gap between the high-end or excellent, if you choose to hide the cave, then next, you are likely to get a sword with a material far more than the Shenyin longsword, such a sword, if you bring it back to the original world, it will be about a level more powerful than the innate spirit treasure, when the time comes, with a sword in hand, he can even hurt those who are far stronger than himself.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the one that can be effective in the shortest time, and can confirm the harvest after entering the garden, should be the Hidden Soldier Cave for Jiang Ning.

As long as he chooses to hide the Soldier Cave, he will undoubtedly obtain an extremely powerful weapon, and such a weapon that is even more powerful than the Innate Spirit Treasure will greatly change the strength structure of the Tianhe Trial if it is brought back to the original world.

After all, although the trial in the giant scorpion palace was nearing the end, for the Tianhe trial, it had only just begun.

After going back, Jiang Ning and Dong Xun still have to face countless alien opponents above the blood moon, with such a weapon that can provide qualitative change in a short period of time, Jiang Ning and Dong Xun will be invincible.

Therefore, intellectually speaking, whether it is in the short term or in the long run, choosing the Hidden Soldier Cave is undoubtedly a very correct decision.

Jiang Ning only thought about it for a while, and then immediately made a decision.

However, when he was about to walk over and put his hand on the stone tablet outside the door of the Hidden Soldier Cave, Jiang Ning's heart moved slightly, and he only felt that there was a kind of power in the dark, pulling him towards the direction of the gate behind him, which represented the garden.

Should he trust his own judgment, or choose to trust his instincts, which are almost guided by fate, Jiang Ning turned his head, his eyes fell on the stone plaque of the garden, and he fell into deep thought.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Ning still chose to trust his instincts instead of judgment, glanced at the hidden soldier cave behind him with some regret, turned around and walked to the door of Zhiyuan, stretched out his right hand, and pressed it on the stone tablet without hesitation.

When the black fire entered his body, Jiang Ning didn't have much special feeling, but only later began to slowly experience the ever-increasing pleasure.

But when the black fire turned into strands of silk threads and was withdrawn from his body little by little, Jiang Ning only felt as if he had lost something important in his body, and a sense of emptiness and fragility arose.

Pain or itching is still uncomfortable for Jiang Ning, who has experienced countless transformations, but these pains are accustomed to him for him, and he can still bear it under normal circumstances, but this feeling of lack and nausea and dizziness from the depths of his body, even Jiang Ning, who has also experienced countless times, still can't get used to it.

In many cases, for many people, the feeling of nausea, dizziness, and weakness, even if it is just a little bit, is more uncomfortable than pain, even for Jiang Ning.

Fortunately, although this process of pulling silk was very long in Jiang Ning's feelings, it was actually only less than half an hour, and after the last wisp of black flame was absorbed, Jiang Ning was sweating profusely, and he only felt like he was fighting with an opponent of equal strength to the last moment, and he actually felt like he had run out of oil.

The gate of the Zhiyuan slowly opened, but Jiang Ning was in a hurry to walk in, but sat cross-legged outside the door, summoning two natal star protectors, star power and true yuan continued to gather from the surroundings and injected into his body, after barely making up for the vacancy of the black flame's absence, Jiang Ning stood up with a little pale face, and stepped into the Zhiyuan in two steps.

Like the East Garden that I have been to before, Nazhiyuan is also a garden where mountains and rivers depend on each other, the difference is that the area of Zhiyuan is much larger, and in addition to rockery, greenway flower beds, pavilions and bridges, there is also something that Jiang Ning is very puzzled by by Jiang Ning.

It was something similar to a puppet, obviously there were no energy fluctuations, and there was no rule support, but it was suspended in mid-air, giving Jiang Ning a strange feeling.

Countless gears and zippers were combined, independent of each other and related to each other, and whenever one of the gears turned, all the wheels began to turn under the action of the mutual bond between the zipper and the wooden teeth.

And at the edge of those interconnected gears and zippers, the two poke directly into the void, and I don't know where and what is connected, so that people can only feel weird and a little unclear when they look at it.

Jiang Ning quickly noticed that whenever his footsteps stopped, the rotation of the gears would change back to the original slow rhythm, if he started to walk forward, the speed of those gears would increase, if he walked back, the speed of those gears would slow down, and when he tried to walk to the door, those gears seemed to have some meaning of stopping.

"What is this?" Even Jiang Ning, who had been mixed in the Yin and Yang worlds for nearly fifty years and had experienced countless strange things, was a little confused at the moment.

In fact, when the gears turned, there were actually some slight energy flows and rule changes, if Jiang Ning was in the original world at this time, the Yuan Shen could be completely let go, he might still be able to feel it, but now, even with the help of the eighteen-story small tower, his Yuan Shen could only maintain its original state in his Mud Pill Palace, and he couldn't release it at all, and now he couldn't even feel the most basic rules around him, let alone the mysterious power and rule power represented by the gear.

Wandering in the garden, Jiang Ning's attention was still on the gears that kept spinning and driving something above his head, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see why.

Fortunately, the owner of the underground palace did not originally set up this barrier to make it difficult for people to come in, so he still had a hint for Jiang Ning to stay.

The hint is also obvious, Jiang Ning has also been looking for it for a long time.

Since entering the door, according to the principle of the arrangement of the five elements and the closed loop of symbiosis, Jiang Ning can always find something unusual on those rockeries, lakes and rocks, bridges, corridors, and even the leaves of plants.

There is a word written on every stone and blade, Jiang Ning didn't know how many words were left by the owner of the underground palace in this garden, so he had to look for them one by one, and when he looked for seventeen or eight words, Jiang Ning suddenly realized that there was no need for him to continue looking.

For at this moment he already knew that the hint that the owner of the underground palace had left him was a poem.

The place where it falls is too salty, and the object is sad. On the Ruining Golden Palace, the cold is very jade Guanxi.

Runbi rivers and rivers, tomorrow will be the sun and the moon. Lingyun flower top greasy, lock diameter bamboo tip low.

Out of the valley Qiao Tong timid, back to the forest wild bird fan. Boiling tea melts and ,...

This is the twelve rhymes of snow, and it is the first of the seven articles that a poet of the Tang Dynasty can stop.

That is to say, if he must look for it, in this garden, there are still hundreds of words for him to follow the changes of the five elements little by little to find it, but now, since he knows what words are going to appear next, there is naturally no need to look for them one by one.

And what he has to do now is nothing more than to think about the relationship between the content of the seven articles, the name Zhiyuan, and the gears that are constantly turning in the sky.

Only by clarifying these relationships can he realize what he wants from the operation of those gears in the sky.

After all, entering the Garden of Stopping had consumed the black flames he had so hard to obtain, and if he didn't comprehend something and then go out, he would lose a lot of money.

Except for this one stop word, Jiang Ning really didn't know what else was related to the two.

"Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan, what do you want to express?" Jiang Ning touched his chin and looked at the gears above the sky a little blankly.

First of all, there is nothing special about the name of this garden, in the original world, there are also many gardens of rich and noble families called Zhiyuan, which means nothing more than a Confucian concept of "stopping at the highest good".

Although the name is so far, what I want to express is a never-ending, transcendent realm.

After all, there is no "supreme goodness" in this world, and everyone's efforts are just to bring themselves closer in this direction, and it is impossible to really reach a perfect state.

In terms of cultivation, what is expressed by the word stop is a kind of transcendence of the meaning of the unity of heaven and man that Jiang Ning has mastered at the moment, but has reached the realm of no self and no object, and the realm of forgetting both things and me, which is already close to the level that only a true level of cultivators can achieve.

However, in Jiang Ning's eyes at the moment, there is no doubt that neither of the above two is what the owner of this courtyard wants to express.
