Chapter 8: The Trial
The second floor of Wong Fountains Road is very different from the first floor, and it is more full of light than the first floor.
Even though people only feel the cold of the ghost aura spreading from the ground, the sky here is very bright, and it is strange to be bright day and night.
After a day and a night of flying, Yang Chong passed through a place full of mountains and dense forests, and came to the place known as the Holy Land of Onmyoji, the Liuli Shrine.
There was still a mountain in front of him, but this was just the most clumsy trick to use energy to copy the projections of other places, and if ordinary people saw this, they would probably avoid it. But Yang Chong pretended not to know this, and continued to choose to break through in a flying attitude.
A towering mountain, even the swordsmen will choose to climb over, and eventually unconsciously bypass this area, but what if the people who are in a hurry can fly?
A wave of energy obstacle avoidance immediately blocked Yang Chong's way forward, Yang Chong savored it, sure enough, this is not a simple Yingzhou enchantment, compared to the enchantment on the Shenzhou side, the enchantment here is more "organized". This kind of organization is more scientific, in other words, this is probably the place where the Huangfu Star people are secretly stationed!
Yang Chong's collision quickly got results, and the barrier in front of him had already cracked a hole that was no longer an illusion before Yang Chong could take the lead in destroying it. No one came to greet them, and some only led to a specially built shrine below, which was undoubtedly the first test, and if you were afraid, even if you knew about it, you wouldn't take the initiative to enter.
However, Yang Chong did not have the slightest fear, he had already put away his weapon, and at this time, holding the "battle" of the Eagle Tengu in the Qinglong Temple, Yang Chong was dressed as the first layer of Huangquan Dao "Master Li Gaoye", and stepped into here with curiosity.
The enchantment behind him is closed, but the enchantment that envelops a mountain does not block the bright sunlight, from Yang Chong stepped into, there is something special at work, Yang Chong unconsciously came to the bottom of the mountain, looking up along the long stairs, you can see the eighteen arches leading to the top of the mountain.
A wave of oppression from the mountains came, and only then did a guide appear.
"Your Excellency, is you also an Onmyoji?"
Yang Chong pointed to his dress and said deliberately, "Mage." ”
"Your Excellency's abilities are even stronger."
"If you don't pass the test, you're a mage."
"The second layer is different." When the man saw Yang Chong's appearance, he didn't see any other clues, so he showed Yang Chong the way: "Please come here." ”
Seeing the other party's appearance, Yang Chong secretly laughed that it was impossible for the other party to see through himself. Because when I look at it again, I can already confirm that this guy in front of me is even the person of Huangfu Xing, and when I imitate the person I saw at the beginning who only had rules and no feelings, the other party just saw through the uncomfortable feeling, and he felt that he might be from the first layer, and he wouldn't think too much.
Although the structure of the Huangfu Star is not clear, the rules of the Huangfu Star will not change, that is, how many abilities you can get as many statuses as you have. Moreover, they overthrew the class of Huangfu Xing at the beginning, and they would not allow the people of the original Glass Shrine to continue to control the Glass Shrine, so those who look at themselves in the future will be the people of Huangfu Star, and if they make a mistake in front of anyone, they will not make a mistake in front of them.
followed the other party to the top of the mountain, and before Yang Chong could speak, the other party began to introduce one by one: "The house next to the archway on the first floor is inhabited by people who are in name only. ”
Yang Chong looked at it, it accounted for almost a quarter of the entire mountain, and the densely packed houses had no beauty at all, and some only had dense oppression.
Continue to move forward and arrive at the second archway: "The second archway, there are people who work hard in name and no reality." ”
Yang Chong looked at it again, and it was half the size of the first residential area just now.
When he arrived at the third archway, the man raised his chin: "Here, there are talented people living in it." ”
But when Yang Chong saw that there was another layer above these people's heads, the man continued to add: "The next layer is on top of their heads, and these people work harder." ”
Going up one layer at a time, when two more floors were up, there was obviously a quarter of the whole mountain, and there was no more than fifteen people who could live there, just because these people were selected by layers and were not only hard-working, but also more capable.
When Yang Chong walked up the stairs and saw the eyes of those who might be angry or very satisfied, what he saw was the breath of the deep Huangfu Star.
When he walked to the last archway, the person who led the way left and didn't explain anything at all, but when Yang Chong thought that he would be placed for a while, the person in front of him appeared.
Armed with a mechanical body, the dark and gray metal material could not reflect the slightest light, and the "well-known onmyoji" who was not disguised at all appeared.
"I know who you are." This person's words made Yang Chong's heart startled: "You are a first-level mage who has no ambition, and you have powerful abilities but you can't get them from those people, and as a result, your abilities will never be brought into play." That is the rule of Yingzhou people on the first layer, qualifications, and whether it is pleasing to your eyes"
There was a false alarm, Yang Chong looked at the other party with scrutinizing eyes: "But that's how it is there." ”
"Therefore, there are fewer and fewer real capable people in the second layer, because they have buried too many geniuses, and they can't bring out everyone's potential." The "Onmyoji" said step by step: "But the second layer is already different, as long as you work hard, you can get everything you can get to the maximum, look at it, the useless will always be on the first layer, their future is dark, and they will soon usher in death." ”
"But the potential of those who are useful is endless, and the future development is also endless."
If you just say it, Yang Chong doesn't think that the first layer of people who are used to seeing these will behave, but then the person in front of him directly took out a few scrolls, handed them to Yang Chong and simply flipped through them, which basically included all the inductions from one to five turns!
"Let's see, how much you can understand in an hour and how much you release determines your level of effort and qualifications."
This time, it seemed like a deceitful face to look at the other party, but Yang Chong had to admit the other party's generosity. Of course, the value of these things to those onmyoji goes without saying, with these, as long as the ability is sufficient, they will not give up, so that anyone who is a little self-motivated will follow what they say, just work hard.
His eyes quickly swept over the techniques in these Yin-Yang Techniques, and the more he looked at them, the more Yang Chong felt that the Yin-Yang Techniques were really beneficial to people.
It's just that the understanding of energy involved in this is not something that can be understood for a while, with one's own talent, it is nothing more than understanding the surface, and then slowly experimenting to deepen the understanding and then applying.
But Yang Chong knew very well that he didn't come here to see these yin and yang techniques that would only be used as a real means of fighting in the future. I have more purpose than I am.
Looking at it this way, these very useful yin-yang techniques are actually not the most basic and comprehensive means of unleashing many kinds of yin-yang techniques. Therefore, the purpose of this first test should be to let everyone find their own position in the shortest possible time, and then maximize what they have learned.
When he had his own position in his heart, Yang Chong saw something, and suddenly his heart moved.
"The genre of manipulative god fighting?" Yang Chong felt that he saw the conditions to show himself to the fullest: "I didn't learn the 'Three Methods of Shishen Method' at the beginning, if I combined with the knowledge I already had to deepen the simple basic understanding, I would definitely be able to make a splash!" ”
When Yang Chong was led to the top of the mountain, many people walked out of their place with curiosity.
Yang Chong may not know, but everyone in the mountain knows that anyone who can be led to the top of the mountain, as long as he can survive in the end, will eventually become the mainstay. In particular, a third of the people on the mountainside laid their foundation in this way.
Some people are curious and some people are worried, and when many people spontaneously gather towards the mountain with the idea of watching the excitement, some people show unwillingness.
"Damn, I felt it just now, the person who came is a three-turn person, and the position on the mountain is limited, he will definitely become my competitor!"
"As long as you're stronger than him, you don't need to worry about that." The people on the side spoke indifferently.
"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, you are a four-turn person, of course you are not afraid."
"Yes, I'm the fourth turn, you can also be the fifth turn, and then you will be more confident than me."
Many people work hard for their position every day, and everyone is full of resentment when they meet.
And those people at the lower level who don't work hard, even if they pretend not to care, but another person wants to live on top of them, which makes them feel very unhappy after all.
The occupant of the sixteenth torii walked out and casually asked, "How long has that person been watching?" ”
The person with the tenth plaque who was still showing off his might just now was beside him, and immediately bowed his head and responded: "There has been a stick of incense for a while." ”
As he was speaking, Yang Chong put down the scroll in his hand.
The "veteran onmyoji" who had just landed from the sky on the side saw that Yang Chong's identity was just a mage, and he showed a natural disdain: "Hmph, as soon as I come, are you scared, knowing that you can't do it, don't come here to waste our time." ”
However, after this well-known onmyoji descended from the sky, none of the disciples below dared to speak, and Huang Fu Rui, who was testing Yang Chong in mechanical armament, did not respond to the other party, but deliberately followed the words of the onmyoji and asked, "Why, I don't understand?" ”
"These are the basics, and you can understand them if you take the time." Yang Chong glanced at the old onmyoji who was afraid that he had come back from some task, and did not pay attention to the other party, but stretched out his hand: "However, there are many kinds of yin-yang techniques, and it just so happens that I will be the part of the manipulation of spirit beasts and gods." ”
"Hmph, your identity, if you are not qualified, bring it to the god to test for you." The old onmyoji looked at Huang Fu Rui beside him very dissatisfied, when he left, the other party was just a staff member here, but today it was so big and not small, it was just a small test, and it was taken seriously.
Now, it's time to get ready for his return!
