Chapter 68: The House of Horrors
This is, a map?
After perceiving the information burned in the jade slip, Su Chen couldn't help but look at it carefully.
The map given by Shi Lao is a layout map of the Second Dao Boundary drawn from a bird's-eye view.
On the map, the entire Second Realm looks like a circle embedded in each other, and the further you go to the center, the more noble the identity of the people who live there.
For example, Su Chen's Lingxu Cave Mansion was in the middle of the circle on the map, and it was still quite a distance away from the area where those Inner Gate Elders lived.
Su Chen continued to look towards the center, and soon found a white dot marked by Shi Lao in red font.
Taiyuan Realm!
Is this where Shi Lao wants me to go?
It can be clearly seen that the surroundings of this Taiyuan Realm are empty, and it is only after a long distance that other sparse white spots begin to appear.
These white dots must be the white masks I saw earlier...
Su Chen recalled that when he went to the Daozang Hall that day, almost every one of them covered thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, almost every one of which was magnificent.
Su Chen roughly estimated the next itinerary and felt that there was not much of a problem.
Five days is enough.
As soon as he thought of this, Su Chen took back the jade slip and walked towards the gate of the palace.
"Brother Su!"
As soon as Su Chen left the gate of the palace, he saw a group of people led by Fang Hao, waving to him in an open space not far away.
"It's coming!"
Su Chen walked forward quickly and said hello to a few old irons.
"Brother Su, you have no one else in this way, and you have really been accepted as a disciple by a big Luo in the sect!" Yan Xu looked at Su Chen's eyes full of envy.
"You're not bad, so many inner door elders give you jade plates, unlike the jade plates I gave to a lonely Da Luo. Su Chen comforted.
"Can this be compared?" Yan Xu rolled his eyes.
"Haha, who did you choose your masters?" Su Chen said with some curiosity.
"My brother Yan Hu and I have both worshiped under the same elder, this elder's surname is Gu, from the fourth realm, although the time to become an elder is still short, but because of this, there are no disciples under his disciple now, my brother and I worship under his disciple, I think we will receive a lot more attention in the future. ”
When Yan Xu said this, there was also a touch of pride on his face, obviously proud of his wise decision.
"Thanks to my brother, who happened to be right next to me at the time, I wouldn't have known who to choose. Yan Hu scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"And what about a few of you?" Su Chen nodded and looked at the rest of the people.
"I've chosen an elder from the Seventh Realm who specializes in swordsmanship. Fang Hao replied.
"I don't have any special requirements, in order to make the journey back and forth shorter in the future, I randomly chose an inner gate elder of our second realm. Yin Tianping said.
"Beihan, Ji Ling, what about you?" Su Chen looked at the remaining female compatriots.
"I also worshipped the same elder as my teacher with Sister Ji Ling, and that elder was an old woman, who was also our second realm, and was very kind to us. Yun Beihan pulled the corner of Ji Ling's clothes on the side and said playfully.
At this moment, Yin Tianping seemed to remember something, and suddenly said in a condensed voice:
"This is the end of Xiaobi's matter, and the rest is the test meeting in three months, have you ever known about this in advance?"
"No, I just heard that the super horror house of some sect said that there seems to be such a thing. Su Chen didn't care too much when he heard this.
Isn't it a haunted house?
With the barren brain hole of your human race in this world, what can you design to come out, is it possible that the person who pretends to be a ghost in it can still release his vitality?
For Su Chen, who often watched ghost movies from a certain island country in his previous life, after getting familiar with various routines, playing this kind of artificially built haunted house is really just a matter of play.
Seeing the disapproval on Su Chen's face, Yin Tianping couldn't help but turn pale, and reminded:
"Brother Su, don't underestimate this courage test conference, I have heard some of our senior brothers in the past say that there are not a few disciples like us who participated in the courage test conference for the first time, and there are not a few people who have a mental breakdown after coming out. ”
"Playing a haunted house can still have a nervous breakdown?" Su Chen looked at Yin Tianping with an incredulous expression.
"Haunted house? Well, yes, that's a fitting name. ”
Yin Tianping sighed with emotion when he heard this, and then continued to speak.
"The super horror house of our Daochen Sect, which is what you call a haunted house, has been around for a long, long time. ”
"According to the records of the sect's classics, when the Daochen Sect was first established tens of thousands of years ago, those outer disciples who had just broken through to the Yuanhai Realm would often suffer heavy casualties when they performed the supernatural mission for the first time. ”
"For this phenomenon, the sect at that time quickly discovered the reason after in-depth investigation, and the root cause was that the disciples on the mission had never seen real ghosts before, so they had an irrepressible fear after seeing the hideous ghosts for the first time, so that the original ten percent of the strength could only exert two or three layers in the end. ”
"The first generation ancestor of the Daochen Sect felt this, and selected a few more representative Baiyin-level spiritual places from the Cangyun Realm at that time, and completely cut off the time and space of that spiritual land with supreme cultivation, and used the chain of laws to restrain the Yin Qi realm of ghosts. ”
"After everything is finished, it will be sealed in the trial place of the Daochen Sect, so that the future generations can cultivate courage and familiarize themselves with ghosts in actual contact!"
"Since then, the percentage of new disciples of the Dao Dust Sect who die in the first mission has greatly decreased, and all thanks to the establishment of this land of trials. ”
Because of this, after realizing the great effect of this artificially built place of trial for the sect, the successive generations of ancestors of the Daochen Sect also moved some of the most representative horror scenes and ghosts in them into it, and constantly improved, and to this day, there are no less than thirty supernatural scenes for disciples to try. ”
And after countless discussions, this land of trials has come up with a very witty name - Super Horror House. ”
After Yin Tianping finished speaking, the six of Su Chen, who were the audience, all fell into an eerie silence.
"Brother Tianping, are you saying that we will meet real ghosts?" Yan Xu's voice trembled a little.
Hearing Yan Xu's question, Yin Tianping pondered for a moment and then said:
"To be precise, the powerful ghosts who have already sealed most of the yin qi, in order to prevent the entire trial from showing a one-sided crushing situation, the sect specially suppressed the yin qi on these ghosts to the level equivalent to the mortal realm of human martial artists. ”
"However, since these ghosts used to be white yin-level powerful ghosts comparable to the martial artists of the Yuanhai Realm, even if the Yin Qi is suppressed now, their essence has not changed much, with the quality of the Yuan Qi of our Mortal Realm, at most, it will cause a little damage or obstruction to it, and the rest, let alone elimination, even serious injuries are absolutely impossible. ”
"Damn, isn't it death for us to go in like this?"
After hearing that there were real ghosts in this horror house, and they couldn't be eliminated at all, Su Daring was completely coaxed, he didn't care about the kind of haunted house where humans pretended to be ghosts, but he directly put a real ghost in this haunted house so hardcore...
Who can carry this Nima!
"That's right, the original intention of the sect is to let us die and try it again. Yin Tianping said calmly.
Wait, try it all over again?
Su Chen's gaze was like a nail on Yin Tianping's body.
"The surname is Yin, the old lady will give you another chance to speak human words. Ji Ling changed his previous delicate appearance and revealed the true face of Lushan.
"Ahem, maybe I didn't express it clearly enough, what I really mean is that the sect will somehow let us experience this kind of death in a different way. ”
"Somehow?" Fang Hao was puzzled.
"Soul puppets. Yin Tianping replied.
"What is this?"
"I don't know the specifics, but I know that this kind of soul puppet can temporarily carry a person's consciousness, and when it is destroyed, it can instantly teleport the person's consciousness back to the body. ”
"But the only drawback is that this kind of soul puppet can't synchronize our physical state, both cultivation and physical strength are set in advance, so if we want to achieve a brilliant performance in the Courage Test Conference, we must improve our understanding of ghosts and our ability to deal with them temporarily. ”
After some analysis, Yin Tianping put forward his views on this courage test meeting to Su Chen and the others.
"What the hell are you all afraid of, when the time comes, watch me cut off their heads with an axe!" Yan Hu patted his chest, a little dissatisfied with this oppressive atmosphere among the people.
"Brother, if you can really cut down those powerful ghosts at the Dare Meeting, then I will be your brother from now on. Yan Xu said coldly.
"Yes, that's what you said, if I do it, you're going to be my brother. Yan Hu felt as if he had taken advantage of something, and even responded without thinking.
"Brother, with your IQ, I doubt that you will be killed if you can't even touch the shadow of a ghost by then... Yan Xu covered his forehead helplessly.
Whew!
At this moment, a sudden strong wind swept through the people gathered.
"Little ones, it's time to go back. ”
I saw a huge empty ship levitating above the heads of Su Chen and the others, and on the side of the railing on the side of the ship stood the gray-clothed elder who had picked everyone up to participate in the small competition.
"Meet the elders!" Seeing the comer, Su Chen and the others bowed down.
"Come on. ”
With the wave of the gray-clothed elder's long sleeves, everyone who was still in the open space at the top of the peak only felt that the world had changed in front of them, and when the vision was clear, they and the others had already come to the deck at the bow of the ship.
"Boy, I really lost my eyes that day, a blood cold divine body ranked forty-fifth on the human race physique list actually walked away like this under the nose of the old man. ”
At this time, the gray-clothed elder also came to the deck, and after secretly looking at Su Chen a few times, he sighed in his mouth.
"The seniors praised it falsely. Su Chen said respectfully.
"Then who did you worship as a teacher in the end?" The gray-clothed elder asked again.
When Su Chen heard this, after thinking about it for a while, he said, "I worshipped Shi Tianyu's predecessor as a teacher. ”
"Shi Tianyu... ”
The gray-clothed elder's face was full of shock, and he looked at Su Chen for a long time before he let out a long breath and gradually calmed down.
"This is really a creation, just step into the martial arts and you can worship a Da Luo as a teacher, if you can't grasp this kind of opportunity, you will be jealous!"
In addition to emotion, there was also a hint of envy in the words of the gray-clothed elder.
"Alright, don't stay on this armor anymore, go to the inner hall in the back, otherwise the wind when this skybreaker is activated is not something you little mortal realm can bear. The gray-clothed elder waved his hand at Su Chen and the others before turning around and leaving.
"Let's go too, to the inner hall. Su Chen didn't delay when he heard this, and walked towards the inner hall behind the hull first.
Seeing this, Yan Xu and the others hurriedly followed.
