Ye Tian walked slowly, and in his eyes, what he saw was a space completely composed of black, a world of different shades, but full of agility, except for the color, it seemed to be no different from the real world.

"What's going on, it's black everywhere. ”

At this time, Lin Yi and Gu Er also walked in, and immediately shouted in surprise.

Ye Tian looked over and couldn't help laughing, and saw that the two of them had also turned black, but there were deep and shallow ones, and there was no fun.

"Are you Ye Gongzi?" Gu Er also saw Ye Tian, took a few steps closer, looked carefully, and said a little uncertainly.

"Haha, fun, there's a rabbit here. ”

Lin Yi has been collecting medicine in the mountains since he was a child, and as soon as he came to Yanshan, his eyes rolled, and he stared at a rabbit that jumped out and ran out, and he immediately pounced on it, and with the cultivation of the third layer of qi, his movements were so agile, and he found the rabbit in an instant.

However, to his surprise, the gray rabbit slipped from the palm of his hand like a dissolved candle, and finally fell into the dark black earth and was invisible.

"The animals here are all evolved from inkstones, and once they are caught, they will return to the earth. Gu Er explained, "Among these animals, there is the essence of the inkstone, and only by grasping the essence of the inkstone can the inkstone be brought out." ”

Lin Yi looked at it, there were thousands of animals in this Yan Mountain, and he didn't think it at first, but now that he was reminded by Gu Er, when he looked at it again, he felt that there were animals moving everywhere, and the whole world became noisy.

"How is it possible to find any inkstone essence? Catch them one by one, and you have to catch them until that year and that month. Lin Yi was dumbfounded.

"We can't do it, but that doesn't mean others can't. Gu Er smiled, but the gray smile looked a little weird, "It is rumored that this inkstone mountain was caused by the Confucian disciples who threw all the abandoned inkstones here, and over time, a huge inkstone mountain was formed." Because those inkstones were nourished by the righteousness of Confucianism, they slowly gave birth to spirituality and became one of the four wonders of Confucianism. ”

"It's really interesting, but time is pressing, so let's take the essence of Yanshan and continue on our way. ”

Ye Tian closed his eyes, the heavens and the earth changed, the spiritual sense emanated, permeating the heaven and the earth, and his mind became extremely calm, like a pool of autumn water, very quiet.

The change of seizing heaven and earth, gathering the spirit of the sun and the moon, how domineering the change of heaven and earth is, but in an instant, in Ye Tian's heart, those lively and lovely animals gradually changed, became rigid and stiff, and finally turned into pieces of inkstones of different shapes.

The slow breeze flowed in the air, and suddenly, like a stone falling into the water, stirring up a circle of ripples, in Ye Tian's mind, he felt a small and delicate bird take off from among the branches.

The bird was full of spirituality, and its eyes seemed to be turning, very cute, as if it sensed danger and wanted to escape.

"It turns out that this is the essence of the inkstone?"

A hand descended from the sky and gently caught the fluttering bird in his hand.

Strange to say, this bird did not melt directly like the rabbit before it, but changed for a while, and finally turned into a palm-sized inkstone.

This inkstone is very exquisite, carved with a crane about to fly, the stretched wings just wrap two-thirds of the inkstone, and below the crane, is engraved with a pavilion, a stream flows into the center of the inkstone.

In the pavilion, there was a scholar who was writing a book at his desk, writing a line of poetry, each word was ten times smaller than an ant, but it was clearly reflected in Ye Tian's eyes.

"The wild crane sings back to the stream, and the green water surrounds the flying pavilion. ”

Ye Tian savored it, and felt that there was a distant artistic conception echoing, and a picture was quietly unfolded.

He couldn't help but sigh: "The person who can write this poem must be a great Confucian." ”

"This is the Yunjin inkstone, which is said to have been used by Li Taibai when he was young three thousand years ago, but he didn't expect it to be obtained by you. In fact, Yanshan can give a part of the inkstone spirituality every year, and most people can only get these ordinary inkstone essences, your luck is really good. ”

Gu Er's knowledge surprised Ye Tian, and he actually revealed the origin at once.

The Yunjin inkstone has a deep spirituality, and Ye Tian can feel that there is some kind of spirit body pinned on it, but now is not the time to delve into it.

"I'll see if I can find two more inkstone spirits. ”

Ye Tian put away the Yunjin inkstone, raised his eyes and looked around, but was surprised to find that there were no animals to see on the inkstone mountain, as if they had all disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It's useless. Gu Er shook her head and said indifferently, "Everyone can only get a piece of the essence of the inkstone mountain on the inkstone mountain in their life, and they will never get it again in the future." ”

Lin Yi was a little regretful, the Yunjin inkstone in Ye Tian's hand made him red, and he originally hoped that Ye Tian could help him find a piece of it, but now his hope was shattered.

Ye Tian also understood that the number of essences of Yanshan was limited, and it was impossible to grab them without limits, which would only make Yanshan gradually collapse, and finally turn into a pile of spiritualless stones.

At that moment, they continued to walk forward, and when they left the boundary of Yanshan, the surrounding space changed in an instant, and it was alive again, and the colorful world made them dazzled all of a sudden, and it took a while to get used to it.

The rest of the journey became more and more difficult, and many people could be seen sitting or kneeling on the ground to rest because they could not bear the pervasive coercion, and some even fainted.

However, this level of Haoran righteousness and coercion is nothing to Ye Tian, even if Lin Yi gritted his teeth, he could walk over, and the three of them continued to climb upward.

Finally, the top of the mountain was in sight, and a complex of buildings appeared in their eyes.

This is the Academy of Rites, and at this moment, you can see many young and beautiful women at the entrance of the academy, each of them seems to be elegant, and there is a graceful temperament that is difficult for secular women to have.

Seeing Ye Tian bring Gu Er and Lin Yi over, those women from the Rite Academy immediately laughed sneeringly: "Yo, there are two juniors here, just stay in our academy and don't leave, we have a lot of beautiful women here, and we will definitely make you happy." ”

Lin Yi's face was red, his hands and feet were at a loss, the faint fragrance of rouge wafted in the air, and the crisp and pleasant teasing sounds of those women made Lin Yi's thighs soft.

Ye Tian smiled, he felt that the pressure everywhere had disappeared, so he let go of Gu Er's little hand and said calmly, "Do you want to go in?"

Gu Er nodded: "The Rite Law Academy basically only accepts female disciples, and there should be no problem for me to pass the test of the Dao Monument." If you go to the Tao Monument, it will be very difficult. ”

At that moment, she walked towards the women at the gate of the academy and showed a sweet smile: "Sisters, please take your little sister to ask the Taoist monument to give it a try." ”

Suddenly, someone led Gu Er into the academy, and another down-and-out woman smiled and beckoned to Ye Tian: "Junior brother, do you want to come in and give it a try? ”

There was another burst of giggling, and they seemed to be happy to flirt with the newcomer.

"A mountain has more scenery than a mountain, how can you stop if you don't appreciate it? ”

Ye Tian no longer paid attention to this group of warblers and Yanyan, turned around and looked, he was already standing on the top of the Rite Law Peak, quite a glance at the small artistic conception of the mountains, calm down, he walked down the mountain step by step, up and down the mountain, it seemed that his heart was also baptized.

Later, Lin Yi followed as if he was fleeing, which attracted a large burst of laughter.

After climbing to the top of the mountain, the coercion of the Rite Law Peak's righteousness had disappeared, and it had no impact on Ye Tian and Lin Yi, because they would not come to the foot of the mountain, this time he chose the Middle Mean Peak, Lin Yi naturally had no disagreement.

Zhongyong Peak is different from Lifa Peak, the test given is no longer Haoran's righteousness, but the ubiquitous illusion, as soon as he climbs the mountain road, Ye Tian feels that his seven emotions and six desires are about to move, and all kinds of desires are magnified.

"This is the Seven Peerless Refining Heart Array, Lin Yi, you must contain your mind, this array can amplify the desire in your heart, if you sink into it, your mind will be lost, and you will not be able to return to the real world. ”

Ye Tian showed a trace of solemnity, and solemnly instructed Lin Yi.

Lin Yi's expression also changed, he felt that his thoughts were surging more and more, and he couldn't stop for a moment, all kinds of desires sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, but fortunately, the power of the Seven Absolute Refining Heart Array was not strong now, and he could suppress it with his will.

In this world, everyone has seven emotions and six desires, and it is impossible to completely eliminate them, and the Seven Absolute Refining Heart Array is aimed at this, which can be said to be impossible to prevent.

But Ye Tian's experience from life to death, and from death to life, life and death, has long been cast in his heart like a crystal, pure and immaculate, and it is difficult to shake it anymore.

Climbing all the way up, Ye Tian's expression was still very relaxed, although various fantasies came out of his mind from time to time, but he was shattered in a blink of an eye.

However, for others, this is a very difficult level, and along the way, you can see young people trapped on the mountain road because they can't resist the temptation.

The people who came to participate in the Confucian assessment were all under the age of twenty-five, and the vast majority of them had not experienced ups and downs, so how could their hearts be firm, and it was normal for them to not be able to break through the Seven Peerless Refining Heart Array.

And this also reflects the individual's qualifications, talents, and cultivation, some people use their will to resist, and some people perform exercises to suppress the seven emotions and six desires, or operate special methods to calm their hearts and not be moved by external objects.

As for Lin Yi, his cultivation is not high, and his background is not deep, so he can only grit his teeth and climb, looking at his red eyes, he looks like he is in pain, as if he is fighting with an enemy of life and death, and he doesn't know what kind of illusion he is experiencing.

I don't know how long I walked, suddenly a towering pavilion appeared in Ye Tian's eyes, and on the plaque of the pavilion, two words were written - paper building.
