After everyone finished talking, they went to a unique phantom mountain in this world. Along the way, a sword cliff several people seemed to prove their identity, to Zhuang Li and Huang Jiutoe detailed the life and origin of the three, of course, for these Zhuang Li is completely disbelieving, but he is deeply impressed by his master's methods, and can so completely transform a person. And judging from the previous performances and words of those neighbors, no one doubted their state, how could there be a child who didn't grow tall for decades? It's obviously illogical.

When Zhuang Li asked about the origin of the Phantom Soul Realm and the masters of Yijian Cliff and others, the three of them all spoke with sincerity from the bottom of their hearts, and they also said everything they knew without reservation, those memories that seemed to be engraved in their bones. The Phantom Soul Realm, I don't know when it began. Legend has it that when this realm is not opened, it is a land of illusion, where all beings sink and rise and fall and cannot die, and all around them are fog and nightmares. Later, there is a powerful person coming, with supreme power, changing the heavens and the earth, opening mountains and rivers, creating thousands of things, and giving infinite holy water, all living beings cleanse their bodies, can open the spirit and follow the wisdom, thinking that the people. If the capable person gets the opportunity, he can be summoned by the holy mountain and learn from the Soul Emperor. Those who have not been summoned, if their hearts go to it, they can enter the sacred mountain, and if they have supreme wisdom, through hardships, and great perseverance, they can also learn from the Soul Emperor and avoid dust cultivation. Other disciples, after entering the school, will be given the basic method, sneak into the world, and cultivate the mind and enlightenment. When the merits are complete, you can return to the mountain.

"What does it mean to be meritorious?" , Zhuang Li asked suspiciously, in his memory, the sect practice also had a downhill experience to understand the red dust, but it was mostly because he was stuck in a certain realm and could not break through, which directly made the disciple suffer in the red dust It was the first time I heard of it. After all, cultivating the truth is already mystical and extraordinary, and time is even more precious than Jinsha, and cultivators can't wait to seize a moment of cultivation in order to live forever. If you go straight to the red dust like this, if you understand it well, if you can't realize it, won't you waste a lot of good years. However, thinking of the particularity of this place, Zhuang Li is also relieved.

Regarding Zhuang Li's sudden sentence, a sword cliff is also like a fish in the throat, and he can't say why for a while. Scratching his ears and cheeks for a long time, he held back a sentence: "With your own ability, climbing to the dojo on the top of the mountain is a complete merit, and if you fail, you will continue to practice penance." ”

Zhuang Li was a little surprised: "So simple? ”

Yijian smiled and pointed to the foot of the mountain in front of him and said, "Is it simple?" Brother Tai and look ahead, the white expanse, you can't see a foot, and there are a lot of thorns and bumps, I'm afraid I can't pass this level alone, right? ”

Zhuang Li followed the sword and looked at it, and a huge mountain peak was faintly visible, and at the foot of the mountain there was a stone tablet covered with moss, engraved with three quaint characters: Phantom Soul Mountain. The font belongs to the official book, the pen is vigorous and powerful but not handsome, with a kind of mysterious and mysterious artistic conception, which makes people feel sad and sometimes happy, and can't help but be attracted and can't move the pace.

Seeing Zhuang Li like this, a trace of envy and shock flashed in the eyes of a sword cliff, but he hurriedly pulled Zhuang Li away.

Zhuang Li, who is feeling something, is very unhappy, in the cultivation realm, hindering people from enlightenment is comparable to the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife in the mortal world, you must know that there is an ancient saying: Morning and Tao, you can die at night! The depth of his sin can be seen. If it weren't for the indebtedness, Zhuang Li would have turned it into ashes.

Yijian Cliff explained with a wry smile: "Brother Tai doesn't have to be so complex, Fang Cai didn't think about it well and didn't explain it in advance. This generation is the beginning of the Shenshan when the master erected, the inscription contains a trace of the master's meaning, if the non-Jindan period of monks forcibly participate in enlightenment, the light will be physical failure, the heavy will hurt the origin. If Brother Tai doesn't believe it, and he feels himself, if he is one step late, the consequences..."

Zhuang Li put the letter suspiciously running the exercises, only half a week later, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, under the inner vision, the body is lacking in true qi, the dantian is even more empty, the spirit is also quite tired, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat: "Cliff, I misunderstood you, thank you!" ”

Yijian Cliff waved his hand and said: "Don't blame Brother Tai, it's because I didn't think about it, I never thought that Brother Tai had such an ability, such a distance not only saw through the fog, but also saw the inscription, it's really amazing!" ”

Fog? To be honest, Zhuang Li's eyes are very clear, and he has never seen any fog. However, Zhuang Li attributed it to the role of heavenly consciousness, so he didn't dwell on it much. After chatting a few words, he and Huang Jiutoe opened the road in front, there were indeed a lot of thorns on the road, and the three people behind him were like blind people, even though Zhuang Li and Huang Jiutoe reminded them from time to time, they were still bumping and bumping, and the blood was dripping, so Zhuang Li couldn't help shaking his head, and simply made a bracket with Huang Jiutoe with trees and carried them through. At first, the three of them were unwilling, saying that everything was a test, but they gave in to the pain. There's nothing to look at lightly, just look at the scars they are all over.

Passing through the misty area, there was a sea of fire, and on the sea of fire stood iron stakes, arranged in a regular manner. After walking along the sea of fire for a long time, I didn't find any other way to cross it, most of which was based on the iron stake. As we all know, the thermal conductivity of iron is good, and you can imagine the temperature on it when you look at the iron stake licked by the flame. As a fire cultivator, Zhuang Li was naturally the first to volunteer to jump up. I don't know if it's an illusion, but at first there was a cool feeling. But after standing for a long time, the temperature became higher and higher, and finally the iron stake turned red, and Zhuang Li had to jump to other pillars. Some pillars can stand on people, while others can only borrow strength, and the pillars sink into the flames, and after a while, they naturally rise. There is a certain law between them, but they can't be grasped for a while.

Zhuang Li flickered and jumped to the flat and said: "I have tried, each iron stake will become extremely hot after staying for a maximum of five breaths, some of the pillars can stand people, and some can only be used as borrowing, I will come first, senior brother later, the three of you follow, remember the iron stakes I have stepped on." ”

Everyone nodded, Zhuang Li took a deep breath, dodged and jumped forward, everyone followed, because someone was exploring the way, but nothing went wrong. It's just that there are two iron stakes on the way, and the three of them stayed a little longer than the other pillars, and then grinned and complained: "Brother Tai, you pit us!" How can this be five breaths, at most three breaths is already the limit! ”

Zhuang Li was also a little embarrassed by this, he forgot to consider that everyone was not a fire cultivator: "I'm sorry, I forgot that I am the only one who is a fire cultivator!" The crowd glared angrily.

About the time to touch a pillar of incense, Zhuang Li was the first to reach this end of the sea of fire, Huang Jiutoe followed, a sword and a sword cliff also jumped up, only a sword like water. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, each took out some snacks and the like, and looked at the sword jumping on the iron stake like water with a smile. Yijian Rushui also pretended to complain angrily, but when he heard it, his voice was full of joy. Suddenly, the iron stakes, which had never been moved, staggered and moved, and everyone was startled by the sudden change. Because they didn't pay much attention, no one remembered the characteristics of the iron piles for the last part of the journey. After all, these iron piles are exactly the same, and it is difficult to remember.

"Hold on, like water! I'm coming! Zhuang Li shouted and jumped onto the iron stake, but because the characteristics of the law had changed, coupled with eagerness, it was not as chic as when he came. For example, the water side is even more embarrassed, like ants on a hot pot, often hesitating until they can't bear it before making a choice. Seeing that there were only a few iron stakes Zhuang Li was about to arrive in front of him, a sword like water suddenly stepped on an iron stake that could only be borrowed, but many things are relative, Zhuang Li can borrow where he may not be able to, I saw that he was sluggish on the iron stake before he had time to get up, and then fell into the fire and disappeared.

"No!", Zhuang Li let out a cry of grief, hesitated and returned to the flat ground, Fang Cai's sword like water full of questioning eyes vividly, as if asking him what to ask.

Seeing Zhuang Li like this, a sword cliff and a sword were also very moved, and they couldn't help believing what Zhuang Li said before, but there was still no reflection in his mind. They walked up, patted Zhuang Li on the shoulder and said, "Brother Tai doesn't have to blame himself so much, the wise man also has a mistake, it's only because of our lack of strength." Besides, falling into the sea of fire is just a new beginning, and the master cares for his disciples, how can he let the disciples lose their lives because of a trial? If you think about it, you have already been transported to the corner of the mountain. ”

"Really?", Zhuang Li asked with red eyes.

The two of them nodded one after another: "These are what the senior brother who has passed the trial in the inner sect secretly told us, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, we will go through all kinds of tribulations, from the body to the soul, if we fail, we will be passed to the foot of the mountain, you can choose to try again or return to Hongchen to continue cultivating." So please rest assured, but Brother Tai is so affectionate, but it makes us believe what you said before, even if it is not true, I believe we will still become friends. ”

Zhuang Li smiled reluctantly, and his heart was much more relaxed, many times a person's strengths will also be weaknesses. Those who value love are afraid of emotional injury, those who value righteousness are afraid of betrayal, and those who value relatives are afraid of leaving..... He couldn't help but think of the green clothes who drove him out of the misty forest, and it was really hard to imagine how he would survive if the green clothes were gone one day. In fact, Zhuang Li doesn't have much ambition, and his desire is not strong, he just wants to be able to fly with Green Yi one day and enjoy his old age in peace. The second is to find the mother to fulfill filial piety. It's okay to have a drink with a group of friends and brag about that. As for some movies or novels that want to dominate the universe at every turn, maintain something or something, or a harem or something, he never thought about it at all, maybe he was born a dick, but what's wrong?
