Who is that cold voice?

Hearing this question, everyone was stunned.

Is that a problem? Of course, it's the assistant explainer of the Sword Shrine Test Level, and who else can it be to prompt the participants to follow the program for the test? Can this also be a problem?

Soon, however, when people seriously thought about it in this direction, the problem came.

Explain the rules to the participants and give them timely reminders to keep the test process going...... These are only the role of the voice, not its identity.

In other words, who is the voice that explains the rules and prompts the participants?

It stands to reason that there are so many possibilities, such as that it could be some kind of artificially crafted quasi-intelligent creature, or even a simple phonograph spell...... But think about what it just said

"Due to unexpected changes, the Eight Virtues Trial has made temporary adjustments, and the four virtues of faith, propriety, righteousness, and honesty that cannot be carried out for some reason will be accumulated in this level. If you can win this level, you will win the first four levels, and you will gain five virtues at the same time. ”

No matter how hard this voice tried to hide it, now that he looked back, he couldn't help but feel strange: the matter of the glazed immortal angrily breaking through the four gates was undoubtedly an accident for the Ancient Sword Shrine, and the owner of the Sword Shrine could not have expected that someone would be so rude. And even if it was really expected, the reaction of the five doors in one would be too bizarre...... No matter how you think about it, behind this bizarreness, it means that in this sword shrine, there is an intelligent life that controls the overall situation.

"But so what? Is there any necessary connection to your conclusion? ”

One of the deputies of the Shengjing Immortal Sect, Mochizuki Luanyun couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it normal for there to be intelligent beings in the True Immortal-level Ancient Sword Shrine?" In the first few levels, this kind of intelligent creature can be seen everywhere, what's so strange? ”

"What's so strange?" Wang Lu smiled, "If there is an intelligent life, then why is there any need to design this nonsense test of the Eight Virtues?" ”

Seeing that many people still hadn't recalled, Wang Lu explained seriously: "The rules of the Eight Virtues Test are cumbersome and strict, and they are designed to operate normally even if no one presides over them, and in the general design concept of the organ, a high degree of intelligent life will not be added as a supplement, because there is a conflict between the rigorous and careful rules and the autonomy of intelligent life. ”

After saying this, the people of the other sects were fine, but the people of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect all fell into deep thought, and they all had a lot of research on the design of the mechanism, especially when they came to the Taigu Sword Shrine on this trip, they had done their homework before coming.

"In other words, this intelligent life, for the test of this level, is likely to be an invading foreign body, not an original product."

"And then?"

Wang Lu asked rhetorically: "Then?" A test of the eight virtues invaded by a foreign body means that it is likely to lose its original intention, and it is the will of the intruder. ”

Jiang Liu also muttered: "If you start from the design concept...... From the perspective of the owner of the sword shrine, he designed the level to test future generations, and he should choose people who are talented or have a relationship with his inheritance, but these eight trials ......"

Wang Lu said: "If there is no existence of this strange intelligent creature, it can also be understood that after a long period of time, the established procedures of the Sword Shrine have been broken, causing the rules to change and become a deformed appearance that no one expected. Such cases are not uncommon in the Kyushu immortal cultivation world, but since the existence of intelligent creatures has been discovered, it means that all this can be adjusted, and it is deliberately adjusted, and that intelligent creature is deliberately leading us to stage an ugly drama of framing each other and internal division. ”

"But what's in it for him?"

"We don't necessarily need to figure out what is good, as long as we know that it is good for him to do this, and it is probably not for us, it is not difficult for us to make rational guesses."

Jiang Liu asked: "So you suspect that after this level, it is very likely that not only will we not even get the treasure of the Sword Shrine, but we will even lose it ourselves?" Including the rewards of half-level cultivation in each previous level, are they just bait that induces us to continue playing and fall deeper and deeper? ”

"Otherwise, what better reason do you have to explain what we've been through? The test of virtue has been transformed into a game that exposes the ugliness of human nature, and even if I have tried to end the game in extreme ways, I have encountered such an off-the-board trick as the Five Doors in One. After this eight-door test, it seems that there is a figure that can't wait, and every means is used to ask us to continue playing. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Liu suddenly asked, "You have already found out that something is wrong?" Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"At the beginning, I noticed that something was wrong, but when the rules of filial piety appeared, I wondered at that time, is the confrontational nature of this test too strong? Even if the ancestors wanted to confirm the advantages and disadvantages through the internal competition and elimination of the testers, it was too radical to sow discord in such a naked way. But firstly, I was not completely sure, and secondly, I was not sure at the time how much control the person hiding behind the scenes had over the mechanisms in the sword mound. What if you confide the truth at will and be killed by thunder? Do you leave your sisters widowed? So my thoughts are the same as you did at the beginning, whether he is normal or not, win first. Especially after the first level, the half-level cultivation reward is quite a heavy chip. ”

In this regard, Jiang Liu just snorted coldly.

Wang Lu said: "But the second level quickly made me realize that the problem is not so simple, the rules are too targeted, and the revenge comes too quickly, as if I am deliberately trying to lose." And the third level came back. So I guess that maybe these eight tests are to keep both of us glued, and we must do our best in every level to expose the ugliness of human nature to the extreme. ”

Jiang Liu pondered for a while: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. ”

"Now that we have identified the problem, although there is still a lack of crucial evidence, there is a basic rule that can be followed here: we oppose what the enemy supports, and we support what the enemy opposes. It wants us to play to the end, so I'll do everything I can to make this game end sooner. ”

When Jiang Liu heard this, he suddenly smiled: "So you let out the words to prevent everyone from passing the test?" ”

"Of course you can't stop everybody from getting through, because the rules don't allow one side to last too long, but I think you didn't think of that at the time. So when I say this, whether you believe it or not, there is only one choice. ”

Jiang Liu's smile turned cold, and the calm appearance made waves again: "When love has to be done, the only way to solve the problem is to use force." ”

Wang Lu said with a smile: "But if I fight hard, I can't be the opponent of the Shengjing people, so I have no choice but to take Bamen as a hostage, and your senior brother Li Wang has never negotiated with terrorists, so it is not surprising that there was a ticket tearing incident in the fierce battle." ”

Jiang Liu snorted: "Good calculation, as long as you break the stone gate, if your guess is true, you are the hero who saves everyone." If the guess is wrong, your junior sister Liuli Immortal can also use this opportunity to win the victory of the Eight Gates. ”

"It's a good calculation." Wang Lu unceremoniously admitted, "Until just now, I used the contradiction with you as a cover to break down the door reasonably and legally...... As a result, it only used a five-in-one method to expose its flaws, and I immediately judged that its control was very limited, so I could boldly share these things with you. ”

Jiang Liu sneered: "At the same time, it was also because of the deep shame, which was unexpected by you, interrupting your next calculation, right?" ”

Wang Lu said without hesitation: "That's why I have the feeling that the Tao is one foot higher and the devil is one foot higher, no matter how professional an adventurer is, it is impossible for a professional adventurer to control everything without a prophet, all he can do is to do everything possible to fight for more favorable conditions for himself, and if he can't win it, he will overthrow it and start again." ”

Jiang Liu said: "You can indeed provide a good hypothesis that there is probably a malicious figure hiding here, but all this is not supported by evidence. ”

"There is circumstantial evidence, such as the simplest question, when we are entangled in the ancient guardian and the eight trials of this egg pain, where did Senior Sister Zhu Shiyao go?"

Jiang Liu was stunned for a moment, and asked a little incredulously: "Do you suspect ......?"

"No, if it were her, she would definitely not be so troublesome, one person and one sword, at least she can be invincible here. My problem is that we haven't seen her all the way here, which means we probably didn't make it all the way to her. So, based on the experience of the first three levels, do you think that when we and Zhu Shiyao didn't go all the way, who might have gone a little higher? ”

"If it's a fork in the road, do you think what awaits us is the treasure of the Ancient Sword Shrine or a trap?"

"Then, back to the question of the intention of designing the Eight Trials, if the ancestor tested the true Eight Virtues, it can be understood that he wanted to choose a successor with excellent moral character, but what did he want to design a level that would only cause infighting among the trialists and reflect the ugliness of human nature?"

Jiang Liu's patience was gradually exhausted by Wang Lu's endless questions: "Maybe you want us to kill each other?" Because it has limited control over the original level and cannot change the framework of the Eight Virtues, it modifies the rules within the framework, constantly causing us conflicts. ”

"Good guess, then the next question is: what good is it for us to kill each other?

Jiang Liu also couldn't understand: "What's the benefit?" ”

"I'm not it, how can I know what the benefits of the Dao are, but I know that the cannibalism of the Dao is not good for us at least, so I said that I hope everyone will give up this level, and there is no need to let a person who will not be kind to conspire succeed.

After saying this, Wang Lu was silent, even if Zhou Mumu, Hai Yunfan, Chop Ziye and others all gave him a look, they ignored him.

Of the people present, only Jiang Liu's attitude is the most important, as long as he approves, things can be reconciled

"I see." After a long time, Jiang Liu nodded, "Regarding this matter, although your speculation lacks conclusive evidence, it is indeed very convincing, so all kinds of small frictions between us before will be written off. If he has evidence to prove everything, I, Shengjing Xianmen, owe you a favor. ”

Of course, the implication is that if there is evidence that everything you are doing today is just, then there is more than a little friction between the two factions.

However, the next moment, Jiang Liu's words were accurate: "However, if you let everyone give up the test, what about yourself?" Are you going to give up the test together and leave the sword mound with the others? ”
