Chapter 12: The Land of Trials
Yang Jian returned to the dormitory, which was the place where he woke up before, and this was the residence of him and Wang Tian for the time being.
After half a day, Yang Jian also basically figured out the situation here. It turns out that the Immortal Seeking School does not refer to a school, but a general term for this type of school. This place is called Xunxian Prison Mansion, named after the suppression of hell. The school was built in the belly of Nanga Bhava, and Yang Jian didn't know what kind of project could hollow out a holy mountain and build a school inside, and it would not be known to outsiders. The sky that Yang Jian saw was black, because there was no sky at all here, and the academy had installed artificial stars on the mountain wall, and when it was night outside, these artificial stars would also be lit up to distinguish between day and night. I heard that the academy also made an artificial sun, but because it consumes too much energy, it is not usually activated, and the sun is only lit up when a major event occurs, such as ...... Hell invades.
And the suppression of hell is also the meaning of the existence of this school. Legend has it that a long time ago, the three worlds of immortals, humans, and hell coexisted, which is also the framework of the ancient mythology of our country, but this is so long that even the school officials are not sure whether it is true or not. But with the advent of the end of the Dharma era, many powers in the fairy world, the human world and hell could not adapt to this world with thin spiritual energy, and fell one after another, but the weak human beings and some hellish imps survived, and the imps of hell did not have the suppression of the high-level, and did not want to suffer the boundless torture anymore, so they desperately rebounded, wanting to break out of hell and come to the human world. In order to protect the peace of the world, the ancestors used the remaining cultivation laws to depict a huge formation all over Tibet and seal the hell. However, due to the long time ago, now there is a lot of construction, the geological structure has been changed, and the seal has been damaged a lot, and the imps will continue to attack, so it needs to be suppressed artificially.
Yang Jian listened to the introduction of the Temple of Heaven as if he were listening to a story, but he obviously didn't believe it in his heart, at most he listened to it as a fantasy novel. First of all, why is there only hell in Tibet? The Immortal Prison Mansion existed to suppress hell, so why were other similar schools established? And now that he hasn't joined the academy, how can he get the real secret.
Yang Jian also inquired about Zitong's situation, and learned that Zitong was already a master of the psychic realm, and usually went out to perform some school tasks, and at the same time, if he saw any people with high qualifications and potential who could be picked up by the way, Yang Jian was speechless: It turned out that he was just picked up by hand, maybe not even picked up, but he just gave himself a card casually, but he smelled the smell and chased him all the way.
Yang Jian also wanted to ask what kind of level the Psychic Realm was in the current division of strength? However, the Temple of Heaven didn't say much, just said that if Yang Jian was successfully admitted to the school, then he would naturally know in the future.
After lunch, the Temple of Heaven sent Yang Jian back to the dormitory, and told Yang Jian that it was best not to wander around the school, because many schools and many places are forbidden areas, and once you enter by mistake, the consequences are very serious, Yang Jian nodded and agreed. Although he was not deeply involved in the WTO, Yang Jian knew that this was to warn himself that he was not a member of the school now, and the secrets of the school could not be known to him, so he stayed in the room honestly. I wanted to play with my mobile phone, but I found that there was no signal at all, so I remembered that it was in the belly of the mountain, so I had no choice but to put it down and pick up the broken sword to play.
Yang Jian was surprised to find that the fracture of the broken sword had actually become much smoother, although it was still uneven, although it had not changed much, but Yang Jian believed that he was definitely not mistaken. Could it be that it has been smoothed out? But after chopping for so long, there is not even any gap in the blade, how can it be smoothed?
The next day, Yang Jian felt that he was almost recovered, so he asked the Temple of Heaven to remove the bandages from his hands. Soon after, Purple Pupil came to the door and led Yang Jian out.
"After discussion at the school, it has been decided to officially accept you as a student of our school, the white card...... You just take it first. Purple Pupil still said so plainly. Yang Jian wasn't sure what kind of attitude to use to treat her, but no matter what, she was still a senior sister, so it was better to be a little respectful. "Excuse me, senior, where are we going now?" Hearing Yang Jian's title, Zitong glanced at him, and Yang Jian couldn't grasp what this girl was thinking. "The place of trials is a test for your admission, and it is also an opportunity for you to awaken, and if you fail, you will lose your qualification to enter the academy."
Yang Jian was stunned, he didn't expect this matter to be so important, and no one reminded him before, that Temple of Heaven was too irresponsible, Yang Jian scolded in his heart. However, on the surface, Yang Jian still politely asked Zitong: "Senior sister, I don't know if there is anything that needs special attention in the place of trial?" "There is nothing to pay attention to, everyone's trial place is different, and then it depends on your own luck and wisdom, in fact, this so-called trial is just a door for you to open the path of cultivation, now the aura is thin, basically no one can sense the aura of the outside world by themselves, so you have to use external objects to let you take the first step of cultivation." Zitong's tone was flat, but she still patiently explained to Yang Jian. "What are the chances of success?" Yang Jian found that Zitong had no ill feelings towards him, so he continued to ask. "Actually, it doesn't matter if you succeed or not, because if a lot of people can come here, it means that they have at least one ability that is far beyond ordinary people, and if they fail the trial, they can still use these abilities to work for the academy." "That is, if I fail the trial, if I have some special ability, then can I stay? What kind of ability is far beyond ordinary people" "Of course, for example, if you are good at computers, then give you a computer, and you can control a satellite" Zitong said, seeing Yang Jian's shock, he felt that it had hit him a little, so he comforted: "At least it must be paralyzed." ”
The two came to a building with only one floor, but the architectural style had to be impressive, just looking at the appearance felt powerful and domineering. "It seems that the school is really extraordinary, and a building can create a sense of vicissitudes, as if it is hundreds of years old." Yang Jian despised himself a little, but he didn't expect that he would also be a sycophant. The purple pupil glanced at Yang Jian and said, "This place of trial has a history of thousands of years. "This ......" Yang Jian was speechless, he didn't expect that the first time he patted his ass would be like this, but could it be that this school has existed for thousands of years, so with the technology of thousands of years ago, how could it be possible to complete such a vast project.
"Alright, don't waste time, let's go inside!" Purple Pupil seemed to think that it was a waste of time to take Yang Jian to trial. Yang Jian's eyes darkened, it seemed that he was still a useless ordinary person in their eyes after all, but this is my own chance, I must become stronger, Yang Jian clenched his fists and walked in resolutely.
The "Land of Trials" was pitch black, except for the entrance, there was no light, and Yang Jian didn't know what to do now, did he want to keep moving forward? It was walking in total darkness, like walking in hell, and it was terrifying.
Yang Jian walked for a long time, turned around, and looked towards the exit. I found that the originally wide exit was only a small gap in my eyes, but the faint white light was like an exit from hell to heaven, which made people yearn to climb over it desperately, even if they were covered in bruises, even if their souls were scattered.
Yang Jian didn't know why such an idea came out of his heart, perhaps, this is part of the trial, this is a test of his perseverance, yes, it must be so. Just when Yang Jian wanted to turn his head, he suddenly found that the gap was getting narrower and narrower, and it was about to disappear, as if the door was being closed. Yang Jian finally realized that something was wrong, when he came in just now, he could see it clearly, there was no door in this place of trial at all, so how could he be concerned about this statement now.
Yang Jian desperately ran towards the gap, and a feeling of uneasiness filled his heart. Yang Jian was very irritable, because every time he had this feeling, it meant that something big had happened. "What the hell is going on?" Yang Jian shouted loudly. "I sealed off the place of trial, and for a short time people from the outside couldn't get in, and people from inside couldn't get out." The purple pupil's usual flat voice came from his ears, but Yang Jian heard infinite sadness in it. "What the hell is going on?" Yang Jian knew that the purple pupil was not by his side, but used a special way of transmitting the sound to his ears.
Zitong was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, just yesterday at noon, the school held a meeting about your admission, and almost all the school directors disagreed, because your variables are too great, you may become immortals, but you may also become demons, but just this morning the school organized an emergency meeting, and almost all the school directors and principals of other colleges agreed to your admission because you ...... It may be our Immortal Prison Mansion and the last and only student. "But you still haven't told me what happened?" Yang Jian said as he ran towards the exit.
The purple pupil didn't seem to feel Yang Jian's behavior, and said with some sadness: "When you came the day before yesterday, you woke up the sleeping hell, and then they fell silent, I thought that this matter would be over, but who knew that they had been planning for a long time, and they acted quietly, and they did not make as much fanfare as before, and we only found out that something was wrong this morning, but it was too late, we suspect that there may be a Yama-level existence awakened, otherwise it is impossible to dominate these hell creatures." However, the meaning of our existence is to suppress them, so if they want to break through, the first thing they attack is the Immortal Prison Mansion. "Then we can escape, and stay away from this place, right?" Before Zitong finished speaking, Yang Jian scrambled to speak, afraid that it would be too late if it was too late. Purple Pupil sighed and said, "Hell wants to attack, how can it let us out, besides, who will stop them when we leave?" We will fight to the last man, and with our blood, activate the formation reserved by our predecessors, and we can temporarily seal them for a while. ”
"And what are you putting me here?" Yang Jian was a little puzzled. "I said, you have great potential, you will definitely be a powerful person in the future, and it is also our hope, the place of trials is a treasure endowed with divine power left over from the previous era, and now nothing can break it, now I close him, and it will be opened in three days, and then other academies should also send support and reseal hell." Also, you have to remember that your power is right with what is right, and what is evil is evil, follow your heart! As soon as the voice fell, a red light shot from the gap, and in a blink of an eye, Yang Jian reached out to catch it, but there was not much impact, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a broken sword.
At this time, the gap is gone, and the only light in this world is gone. But Yang Jian was still running, wanting to run to the edge of the trial and touch the door. But no matter how Yang Jian runs, he can't run to the end, it's like a dark space without borders. But Yang Jian didn't want to stop, because there were still his brothers outside, the super academy he longed for, or, the beautiful girl with long hair and purple eyes. I don't know why, the girl is just a three-sided relationship, the girl is also extremely bland to him, and he has even been afraid of the girl because of that dream, but when he thinks of the girl, he will never go back, and when he thinks of her leaving this world forever, Yang Jian's heart is extremely reluctant, yes, just reluctant, there is no other distraction. Yang Jian doesn't know why he feels reluctant, do you like it? The answer is no, did I ever regard her as a nightmare and admiration? She is her own senior sister, and she is so beautiful, but how can Yang Jian, who has always been self-centered, admire others. Maybe it's because it's so beautiful, people don't want beautiful things to be destroyed, especially such a perfect girl.
Yang Jian stopped, his body recovered but he was still somewhat weak, and after such a long sprint, he was already tired and out of breath. Yang Jian sat on the ground, looking at this dark space like hell, and couldn't help but think: Will the purple pupil go to hell if he dies? Will it become the tongueless monster I saw before? Thinking of this, I was terrified, such a beautiful girl was reduced to such an ugly thing after death, perhaps, with the aesthetics of those ugly things, the ghost that the girl turned into must be extremely beautiful. No, how can I think so, the girl will definitely go to heaven after she dies, it's just that there is no heaven in the East, only the fairy world, but now that the fairy world no longer exists, where can you go except hell.
Yang Jian wanted to think in a good direction, but after thinking about it, he returned to the original point, and it felt like there was no way out, only despair. Yang Jian felt extremely depressed in his heart, and finally couldn't suppress it, and burst out: "Ah......" An angry roar came out of his mouth. After that, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he collapsed on the ground.
What to do, only wait for death? Yang Jian didn't know who he was asking, maybe he was just talking to himself in despair. Unexpectedly, someone really answered: "I have a way." ”
Yang Jian became vigilant, although he was desperate for the death of Zitong, he must not have anything to do, because now, he is no longer himself, but represents an academy. "Who are you?" Yang Jian picked up the broken sword and made a defensive posture, but found that the broken sword was glowing with a faint red light, trembling slightly, as if it was under a huge threat, and defended itself. "You don't care who I am, you just know that I can give you the power to change it all." The voice came from all directions, and Yang Jian couldn't judge the source of the sound at all.
Hearing this, Yang Jian's heart was moved, but reason told him that there was no free lunch in the world. "Why do you give me power, and what price do I have to pay?" "Hehe, what a smart kid, don't worry, I'm just benefiting others and myself, I've been trapped in this ghost place for thousands of years, I want to get out, but I can't do it with my own ability." "But you can't get out, it's rare for you to give me strength stronger than you, how can you get out?" Yang Jian obviously didn't believe his words, thousands of years? This thing was probably sealed when it was built in the Land of Trials. "You don't have to care, you just have to choose to believe or not to believe."
Yang Jian thought for a while and said, "Then what should I do?" When the owner of the voice heard Yang Jian's answer, he was not in a hurry, and said, "First of all, you have to become a demon." "Enchanted?" Yang Jian was shocked, the academy is a cultivator, and now let himself be enchanted, how can this work. "Didn't the girl say that too? No matter what kind of power, use it rightly, use it evil, there has never been a real boundary between immortals and demons in this world, think about it yourself, perhaps, time waits for no one! The voice fell, and Yang Jian also fell into contemplation, the place of trial, there was only endless darkness......
