Chapter 14 Testing (2)
Everyone walked forward together for a while, and the scenery in front of them suddenly changed. A dense forest is presented in front of everyone's eyes, with countless exotic flowers and plants, birds and beasts.
"Wow! This...... This is the paradise that Tao Qian described, right? ”
"This place is beautiful! I'm willing to stay here for the rest of my life. While everyone was immersed in the beautiful scenery, they suddenly heard a cry from behind, "Oops! Everyone looked back and found nothing.
"Who did you call it just now? What's wrong? ”
"I don't know! I don't know who's calling! ”
"Huh? Weird! Never mind...... No matter. Let's move on. ”
The crowd began to walk forward again, but after a few steps, they heard a "Oops!" from behind. ”
"Huh? What's wrong? What's wrong? ”
It's still everyone's eyes wide and wide-eyed, at a loss.
"Hey! Something strange has happened! Everyone, pay attention! Don't keep joking like that. Everyone was silent, but nodded silently.
If you walk further, you will feel like you have entered the depths of the dense forest, and the flora and fauna you will see are becoming more and more abundant. Everyone's eyes were attracted by this gorgeous world. Xuan Zhuyi ran a few steps forward and walked to Shang Ling and Yu Cihe, and the Mu sisters and Ouyang Ruolin also walked a few steps quickly and followed closely behind them.
Xuan Zhuyi: "Huh? Shang Gongzi? Where are you from? ”
Shang Ling smiled and said, "Me! I'm from South Xuzhou. Where is Mr. Xuan from? ”
"Hmm...... I'm from Jiankang. ”
"Oh! Kyoto! That son must be the young master of a big family? ”
"Hey! Where, where? It's just a child of an ordinary family, and it's not rich or rich. ”
"How could Master Xuan have thought of coming to Lingxian Pavilion?"
"Hey! To tell you the truth, I have had this desire to practice martial arts since I was a child, but my father is unwilling to let me learn it. He was just bent on me taking his place in the management of the Silk Estate. ”
"And how did you get out?"
"Haha! I discussed with my father that when I returned from school, his wish would be fulfilled. ”
"It's just that in this way, I don't know when Brother Xuan will be able to go back."
"Don't worry about that! There is still no shortage of people in my family, and they will help with these things. ”
"That's good."
"Huh? Feather girl? Where are you from? ”
"Nanyu Prefecture."
"Oh~ It seems that we are not too far away!"
Xuan Zhuyi turned his head and wanted to beckon, but when he looked behind him, the whole person was stunned. Ouyang Ruolin also looked back when she saw his expression, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah!" Shang Ling and Yu
Ci He stopped and looked back, Mu Zhixi and Mu Jinggong also stopped to look at Ouyang Ruolin, and the six of them were a little sluggish at this time.
Mu Zhixi: "Where did they go?"
Xuan Zhuyi: "This! It's like I don't know it! ”
Ouyang Ruolin: "Nothing will happen to them, right?" Isn't that what we're next? ”
Mu Jinggong: "It's really suspicious that so many people disappeared in just an instant. ”
Shang Ling: "Isn't there a secret path here?" ”
Yu Tzu Hyuk turned and looked into the depths of the forest. Shrill screams continued to be heard in the forest. Everyone looked at each other, and in the next second, everyone shouted: "Get down!" "Hundreds and thousands of birds flew out from both ends of the forest, some large and some small, some with sharp teeth and some with sharp claws. The sky suddenly became black and oppressive, and the screams passed through everyone's eardrums, and after this rumbling sound lasted for a while, it finally stopped, and the surrounding area was suddenly as quiet as death, and the scene outside the world in front of them also disappeared in an instant.
Xuan Zhuyi took the lead in turning over, looking at the scenery in front of him and muttering, "What are these things?" Turning around again, he was the only one in the vast land. At this time, everything is bleak, the forest is cold, and the west wind is falling. Xuan Zhuyi couldn't help but feel the afterglow of the west wind. In desperation, Xuan Zhuyi had no choice but to walk alone among the dead forests and rotten trees to meet the coming darkness.
Xuan Zhuyi walked alone, only to see that the sky that was still bright just now was already the bright moon at the moment. There were a few strange cries occasionally in the dry forest, and Xuan Zhuyi's scalp was numb for a while. After a while, the four corners became invisible. At this time, a few low snorts were heard from not far away. It seemed to be a snoring sound, and it seemed to be a deep moan. Xuan Zhuyi hurriedly waved his hands in the dark, hoping to find out the situation around him. As he was walking, Xuan Zhuyi's right hand touched a hard object. He reached for it, but as soon as his hand touched it, the surroundings suddenly lit up. After getting used to it for a while, Xuan Zhuyi saw that he was standing on a stone road, and there were stone lamps at intervals on both sides of the road, which illuminated the whole road. Xuan Zhuyi adjusted his mood and continued to walk forward, and after walking for a short time, a stone bridge appeared in front of him. As soon as Xuan Zhuyi stepped onto the stone bridge, the stone lamp behind him went out immediately, and no matter how he slapped the stone lamp, he had no reaction. After adjusting to the darkness for a moment, Xuan Zhuyi stepped back onto the stone bridge. At this time, flowers bloomed under the stone bridge with a blue glow of sorrow. An old woman with a blue light appeared at the head of the bridge, smiling and stretching out her hand to greet Xuan Zhuyi. Xuan Zhuyi walked over suspiciously.
"Mother-in-law? You call me? ”
"That's right! You're Xuan Zhuyi, right? ”
"I am. Who are you? ”
"I'm the Soul Master here."
"Spirit Bearer? Yes! You won't be ...... Meng Po! ”
"No, no, no." The mother-in-law hurriedly waved her hand and smiled, "I am different from Meng Po, with your identity, you can't see Meng Po yet." ”
"Is there an identity to this?"
"Ha~ha~ha, don't talk about this. You have come here to pass the test of Lingsenkaku. Next, it's up to you. ”
"What do you need me to do?"
"You hold this lamp." As she spoke, the mother-in-law handed over the lamp and pointed to the blue flower road under the bridge with her hand, "Look at the flowers, do you know where they are going along the water?" ”
"I don't know."
"Then it's up to you to find it yourself. Are you ready? ”
"Huh? What the? ”
Before Xuan Zhuyi could react, he only felt a weight behind him, a light head and feet, and planted it. When he floated up again, Xuan Zhuyi's eyes were closed, his hands were spread out on the water, and a circle of blue flowers was around him. The mother-in-law's blue lantern put her hand on one of Xuan Zhuyi's spread hands, and the other end was placed smoothly on the water. Blue Flower drifted to an unknown distance with Xuan Zhuyi. The mother-in-law stood at the head of the bridge and muttered with a smile: "Don't forget me, lovesick tears, what you want, look at each other for a long time." The surrounding scenery faded away, and everything returned to peace, and a stone statue stood in an open field.

Mu Zhixi woke up lying in a small boat, the boat was floating on the water, and the water was flowing in the sky. Water and sky are connected, and things and illusions are blended. The clouds and the moon are set against each other; The moon and the water complement each other.
"The moon is bright in the sky, and the river flows on the earth. A flat boat enters the river, and several rivers flow into the sky. The boat seems to be swimming in the water, but in fact it is walking on the clouds. All things in heaven and earth are so intersecting and reflecting each other, reflecting each other, giving birth to each other, and restraining each other, which is the nature of heaven. ”
"Hahahaha!" I only heard one person clapping his hands and praised, "It's a natural way of heaven." Little girl? Do you know a lot? A white-haired old man stood suspended in front of Mu Zhixi, and Mu Zhixi quickly stood up and arched his hand and said, "The younger generation has a humble opinion, it is not worth mentioning. ”
"Hahahaha! Since you know the Tao of metaphysics so well, then you can go into my bag and find out, right? ”
"Younger generations should do their best."
The white-haired old man waved his sleeves, and Mu Zhixi turned into a strand of silk thread into the old man's sleeve. At the same time, a stone statue stood on the boat.

Mu Jinggong and Ouyang Ruolin appeared on a balance beam together, each of them standing at one end, with an abyss under their feet and a sawtooth steel wheel above their heads. In the middle of the balance beam is placed a tripod, in which clean water constantly overflows, and the overflowing water touches the gear directly below the balance beam and immediately boils and turns into steam. A brightly dressed woman holding a feather fan covered her face and fell from the sky and stood on a tripod. She took out a hosta from her arms and put it into the tripod, and the water in the tripod immediately turned red, and the gear under the balance beam began to rotate, driving the balance beam to start rotating. The woman smiled: "If you get the hosta, you can pass this level." But both of you must be alive before you can clear the level. Let's get started. With that, the woman disappeared in front of the two of them. Two stone statues slowly rose in the clouds not far from them.
