The smoke rises everywhere, wandering the stone road. Su Hao, who was dressed in black, slowly walked in the rectangular passage three meters high and two meters wide, and the same stone bricks crossed his field of vision, and he was constantly left behind.

Finally, there was a bright view in front of me - a brand new stone room.

Su Hao walked into the new stone room in two or three steps, and there was a rumbling behind him, and the stone door smashed down, sealing him here.

Immediately, an old man's ethereal voice came from all directions: "You are the seventh tester to reach the first level, report your name." ”

"The junior is named Su Hao. Su Hao replied unhurriedly.

"Okay, so are you ready?"

"Yes, please explain the rules and content of the test to the juniors, Senpai Senda. Su Hao said.

"The rules are very simple, there are a total of five levels, through this level this can be advanced to the next level, failure is eliminated, the criterion for winning or losing is to test the morality and justice of the tested person according to the content of a level, the most able to inherit the name of the saint of this king among the eight destined people, you can get my inheritance and magic weapon. ”

"Virtue and justice? I see, let's get started. Su Hao looked ahead and threw away all the distractions in his heart.

"The first level is the question that must be answered sincerely in three questions. First, do you think you have holiness and righteousness?"

It's such a sharp question from the beginning...... Su Hao said in his heart.

He replied in a dignified manner: "My answer is that I don't know, because the younger generation does not understand whether the holy virtue mentioned by the senior is the meaning of the holy virtue in the minds of the younger generation." ”

"The so-called holy virtue is the macro morality of doing the way to help the world. Holiness is the virtue of a saint, the owner of his own body is a sentient being, a fresh breeze, and a model for all generations. The Holy One will not succumb to any coercion, even if he sacrifices himself, he will carry out the righteousness. The Holy Ones have private messages, but their selfishness is the bare minimum that human beings can have. ”

Su Hao said: "I see. Although the younger generations don't know where the saintly title of the predecessors came from, when it comes to the saints of Zhongzhou, only Kong Sheng, who is a household name, knows only the saints. Even if he is holy, he will have his own selfish desires, but his selfish desires are far inferior to his morality and merit, and he is above most of the human beings in the long history of history, and his words have been immortalized, so he has been canonized as a saint and has holy virtues....."

"If 'sanctity' is this level of holiness, then the younger generation is ashamed, and I can't reach it. Su Hao smiled faintly.

"Oh, do you mean that you think you have holy virtues? It's funny, much more interesting than the other six. Saint Tak Zhenjun suddenly laughed happily.

Su Hao's face did not change, and the gaze in his eyes was even more motionless.

After three seconds, the tone of the Saint Virtue True Monarch was lowered: "Then can you tell me why?"

"The juniors dare to ask the seniors to allow the juniors to speak later, and the juniors can swear, not a lot of mouths. Su Hao is neither humble nor arrogant.

The voice of the Holy Virtue True Monarch stopped for two seconds and then sounded again: "Yes, but I hope you don't lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot after that." You haven't answered the second half of the first question, but I guess you don't need to say it. ”

"No, although the younger generation thinks that they have this virtue, when it comes to justice, the younger generation does not dare to flaunt it. This is a sincere answer. ”

"......" Shengde Zhenjun was silent again, Su Hao could feel Shengde Zhenjun's confusion, if the other party stood in front of him alive, it must be a stiff expression on his facial features.

"Well, the second question, who do you think is good and who is evil among the testers?"

"It's very simple, I and the water hazy moon are positive, and the other six directions are evil. ”

"Why do you answer so arbitrarily?" Saint Tak Zhenjun's tone was not objective at all this time.

"Because you ask for honest answers, that's what the younger generation thinks most truly. Su Hao said.

"Okay...... Thirdly, what kind of conviction do you stand here with?"

"At first, it was to leave and win, after all, the younger generation did not know what the so-called inheritance was. But now the younger generation thinks that it meets the requirements of the seniors. Su Hao said frankly.

To be honest, these questions didn't bother him at all, he didn't need any hypocritical answers, just be polite and tough.

"That's very good. Thou hast answered my three questions without a trace of confusion in thy heart, nor thy mind was ever obscured by the grey mist of hypocrisy for a moment, and thou hast passed my first hurdle regardless of the answer. Please go to the next stone chamber. ”

After the transmission was finished, a second stone door rumbled in front of Su Hao. The stone door moved upward, and blue smoke poured out against the floor, followed by the same passage as usual.

A golden light skimmed Su Hao's left eye, and Su Hao looked in the direction where the vision occurred, and found that a column of pale golden words appeared on the wall.

- Finish ranking: 8th place.

"Hey, they're really fast, I'm going to have to speed up. Su Hao smiled and looked away and headed towards the second stone room.

At the same time, the second level of the stone chamber. Shangguan Qing, who was dressed in a green robe, stood in the middle, his hands clutching the sword technique, stiffly dripping with cold sweat. From time to time, there are jade-colored air currents scattered and surging around the body, sometimes resting and stopping the water, and sometimes dancing in long clothes violently.

His mind had already sunk into his closed eyes, into deep dreams and memories.

......

On a quiet afternoon, at the top of Yufeng Mountain, Wanqing Villa, an eight-year-old child sat cross-legged on the wooden steps in front of the ancient courtyard, in front of a clear and waveless blue pool and a winding wooden corridor on the pool.

His eyes were closed, his expression was relaxed, his hands were flat on his knees, and a bucket-thick aura white dragon gathered from the boundless emptiness, was inhaled into the body by the child and ran for a week, and then was spit out, and the cycle went back and forth.

"Tick tock", the drizzle began to fall on Bitan from somewhere, splashing a wave the size of a fingernail, and the ripples in the water of the pool woke up the drowsy lotus leaves, stirring up the originally quiet lotus pond out of some movement.

The thick aura dragon finally refined and dissipated little by little, and after a while, the child slowly opened his eyes as bright as black pearls, and said in a young but calm voice: "The day after tomorrow is at its peak, and the next thing is to impact the innate realm." ”

"Qing'er, you practice so much. ”

A kind and maternal woman's voice sounded behind the child, and the child's calm expression suddenly changed with joy, and he turned around, eager to frame the woman's figure into view.

The woman who is dressed in white and has a creamy skin, although she is not a country and a city, but her charm is super-dusty, is his mother, the wife of Shangguan Ding, the patriarch of the contemporary Shangguan clan, Qingxue.

Her eldest son is the child in front of her, the eldest son of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Qing.

"Mom, when did you come, Qing'er didn't feel it at all. The young Shangguan Qing squeezed his immature cheeks and put on a helpless expression.

"Your cultivation has reached a critical moment, and your mother naturally doesn't want to disturb you. By the way, are you still used to staying in Wanqing Castle Villa?" Qingxue said as she stroked the child's hair with a pampering face.

"With Crane Xianbo to accompany and guide me, it's not lonely. "Shangguan Qingdao. The Crane Immortal Uncle in his mouth is a monster with a seven-point immortal beast bloodline, and he guards Yufeng Mountain, the holy land of the Shangguan family, all year round, and sometimes comes back to point out the future immortal Shangguan Qing.

"That's it," Qingxue's eyes flashed a hint of indescribable loneliness, "Sure enough, without the company of children of the same age, Qing'er will be lonely." ”

Shangguan Qing turned his head and said in a complicated tone that he couldn't recognize at his current age: "Qing'er is qualified to enter our family's holy land to practice without any merits, such an opportunity is something that other relatives, elders, younger brothers and sisters can't dream of, how can Qing'er say the word lonely?"

Qingxue looked at her son, who looked like a smart man but had already understood his responsibilities, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and hugged him softly with open arms.

"This is the opportunity you deserve, you don't have to blame yourself for this privilege, and it is also your responsibility and destiny, because in the future you will be the only leader of this group, the one who rushes to the front on the battlefield. So work hard, although it is a pity that you did not have the same childhood as ordinary children, Mom and Dad have never regretted putting this burden on your shoulders. ”

"I understand, Mom. Shangguan Qing said softly.

The mother and daughter hugged each other quietly, and after a long time, Qingxue let go of her embrace.

"Don't talk about that, Mom is here to bring you good news this time. Qingxue changed her cheerful expression.

"What's the good news?"

"Your father agreed to let you leave Wanqing Villa for a while and go to the outside world to rest for a while. When she said this, her eyebrows fluttered, and Shangguan Qing saw her mother's bright and happy expression again after a long time.

"Mom, this can't be what you proposed to Dad, right?" Shangguan Qingren had sharp eyes and calmly said a word.

"Hey—how do you know, Mom wants to surprise you later. Qingxue had an expression of being defeated by her son.

"Mother and son are connected...... It's no wonder, what kind of person you are I don't know as a son. The corners of Shangguan Qing's mouth curved like a crescent moon, and he smiled lightly.

"Haha, my son is so cute. Qingxue was poked by her son and laughed, and suddenly hugged the petite and cute Shangguan Qing tightly excitedly, and used her warm jade palm to scratch his hair.

Mom is very young and beautiful, but the child control attributes that are exposed from time to time have troubled him a little, after all, the touch of the huge and soft pair squeezed on the back that is beyond his own world is still quite uncomfortable.

Shangguan Qing said goodbye and tried to make himself calmer: "But then again, I haven't broken through the innate realm yet, why did my father let me relax? ”

Qingxue said jokingly: "Then you better give up, in our Shangguan family in the Golden Cultivation Era, which ancestor is not faster than your father and your grandfather to be promoted, the earliest four years old is congenital." ”

Shangguan Qing was speechless: "Don't hit your son, besides, you haven't answered my question yet." ”

Hearing her son say this, Qingxue also became a little more serious: "Although I told your father, your father also wants you to get in touch with your peers as early as possible, and don't keep your head bored and cultivate." Seeing clearly the gap between your peers and yourself and your own strengths is more conducive to consolidating the foundation and future growth, and laying a certain foundation of interpersonal relationships from an early age is also necessary for your future. ”

Shangguan Liquidation understood, and he sighed: "It seems that Dad still thinks more than me, anyway, as long as he doesn't give me a doll kiss." ”

When Qingxue heard this, she immediately let go of a hand and quickly grabbed Shangguan Qing's ear: "Little rabbit cub, you will pretend to be old-fashioned at such a young age, and try to compare with my husband, it seems that if you don't let you go out to see the world, sooner or later you will cultivate and cultivate stupidly!"

That's when you'll call my dad "husband" in front of me...... Shangguan Qing thought so in his heart, but of course he didn't dare to say it.

"Oh, you let go of me, Mom, why aren't you as mature as me!" Shangguan Qing danced and tried to break out of his mother's arms. It was only then that he behaved like a real child.

The drizzle outside the eaves fell, and the koi in the lotus pond floated. This time the clear water and mountains, the family affection is warm, like a dream, but it is real and beautiful. Shangguan Qing's consciousness fused with his young self, and he hadn't found any abnormalities at all.
