Time passed little by little, the fragrance in the hall turned from light to strong, but the incense pillar in the furnace did not change in any way, if it were not for the bright and shining at the top, the curling white smoke turned and overflowed, and it would definitely be thought that the incense was not ignited.

Ye Zifan was still standing in the main hall, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes were slightly closed, his eyelashes were trembling, and his expression was painful as if he was suffering inexplicably. Fine beads of sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, snaking down his cheeks and dripping onto the placket of his clothes.

The white smoke in the incense burner gradually condensed and surrounded Ye Zifan's side, like a chrysalis woven from silk, completely enveloping his upright posture.

Xu Hongyi's face was heavy, watching Ye Zifan's figure disappear into the white smoke little by little, and said anxiously to Xiao Chengyu beside him: "Priest, it's almost time, Ye Zifan ...... him"

Xiao Chengyu glanced at Xu Hongyi coldly.

Xu Hongyi lowered his head and looked a little puzzled: "Priest, it's been an hour, and the trial in the past was only half an hour, how can I ...... today?"

"He professes to be sincere, and he has come to the trial of his own free will, and you must have made it clear to him about the dangers. If he had been sincere, he would have been safe even for another hour. ”

Xiao Chengyu said it as a matter of course, and Xu Hongyi was not easy to refute.

The layers of white mist were actually transformed by Gu worms, Gu worms sniffed the aroma in the hall, and as the aroma of Gu worms accumulated, the buzzing sound emitted by these insects could make people hallucinate.

Anyone who has a slight disagreement with his lover or is not resolute enough to pass the test will be immersed in fantasy and unable to extricate himself, and finally die or go crazy.

In the past, the trial should have lasted only an hour, but today it has been nearly two hours since Ye Zifan entered the hall and was controlled by Gu worms. Although Gu worms can only make illusions, immersing themselves in illusions for a long time will still have some impact on the body.

The white mist was so thick that Ye Zifan's figure could not be seen wrapped in it, and after about half an hour, Xu Hongyi saw that Xiao Chengyu still had no intention of stopping, and he really couldn't ignore it.

"Priest, even if Ye Zifan passes the initial test for too long, his body will be damaged, and the subsequent Gu cultivation will also be affected, there is not much time left for the wheat, I am afraid it will be ...... if it drags on any longer."

Xiao Chengyu just said lightly: "You don't have to worry about Maizi's side, he shouldn't have any problems for the time being." After the first try, you can go back to Z first. ”

Xiao Chengyu's implication was to judge Ye Zifan to pass the preliminary examination. It is estimated that it was because he was responsible for the wheat at the beginning, so he wanted to take this opportunity to rectify him.

Xu Hongyi sighed lightly and said, "Priest, I want to see Maizi, I went to see him today and he is not at home." I wonder how he is doing? ”

"The wheat is recuperating in the back mountain, and it is not suitable to see people now."

Obviously, Xiao Chengyu didn't want him to see Maizi, Xu Hongyi was a little puzzled, if something really happened to Maizi.

Xu Hongyi suppressed the panic in his heart and asked Xiao Chengyu: "Priest, what's wrong with the wheat?" Why do you want to go to the back mountain to recuperate? ”

"The Gu worms in Maizi's body divide and form new Gu worms. That's why he returned to the village. ”

"What?"

Xiao Chengyu's words shocked Xu Hongyi: "How can Gu worms split? He won't ...... wheat."

After getting Xiao Chengyu's affirmative eyes, Xu Hongyi looked at Ye Zifan in the hall with a strange expression, and exclaimed: "Priest, Ye Zifan can't have anything, if there is no essence and blood as a medicine, Maizi will never be able to survive!" ”

Xiao Chengyu snorted coldly, and his palm flipped to reveal an extra golden bell, like a bell painted in the mural.

He raised the golden bell, and after shaking it lightly a few times, the white mist drifted towards Xiao Chengyu's direction.

With the arrival of the white mist, the sound of buzzing insects gradually sounded, and the golden bell inhaled all the Gu insects like a purple gold gourd.

In a moment, the hall has been restored to its original state, and Ye Zifan's figure has also appeared.

The distorted vision sucked in all his consciousness like a black hole, Ye Zifan felt as if he was in another world, and images kept flashing in front of him, bitter and bitter, sweet and warm, and all kinds of emotions were entangled.

In the fog, he couldn't find any way out, only to keep moving forward, and the strength and unyielding subconscious made him constantly break through the obstacles.

A crack in the gray sky slashed through it, and it cracked into a lump like a mirror, and collapsed with a bang.

Ye Zifan opened his eyes suddenly, and found that he was still in the main hall.

He was at a loss for a moment as to whether what had just happened was real.

With a light breath, those complicated scenes gradually faded from his mind, but his back was already wet, his clothes were clinging to his back due to the sweat, and his body was cold and abnormal.

Xu Shi occupied too long, Ye Zifan only felt numb in his legs, and after moving his muscles and bones a few times, he felt the gaze of strange eyes behind him, turned around and looked back to find that there was one more person in the hall at some point.

The man wears a white robe embroidered with gold silk Sanskrit motifs. He is very young, his face is gorgeous, and his face does not carry the slightest emotion. A beautiful black hair floated behind his head, and the outfit was completely antique.

This person's appearance is stunning, as elegant as mountains and flowing water, and as cold as ice, he dare not get close.

But Ye Zifan felt that this person's heart was as cold and impersonal as it appeared.

If he was not mistaken, this person must be the mysterious priest in Xu Hongyi's mouth, the current powerful person in Lingyin Village.

The rumored priest is divine, but in Ye Zifan's eyes, no matter how god he is, he is also a person after all, and there is nothing to be afraid of if he is a human being.

Ye Zifan tidied up his clothes wet with sweat, and then said to Xiao Chengyu without humility or arrogance: "My trial should have passed!" When will I see the wheat! ”

Xiao Chengyu's expression was still indifferent: "Just now it was just a small test, and the real trial has just begun!" ”

"Come with me!" Xiao Chengyu said that he walked towards the apse.

This person is a paralyzed face, with an indifferent expression and a cherished word like gold.

Ye Zifan touched his nose and reluctantly followed.

Xiao Chengyu led Ye Zifan through the inner hall, and behind the temple stood a small stone house with blue tiles.

Pushing open the door of the stone house, Xiao Chengyu said, "You will live here for the past few days!" I'll send someone to deliver the daily food and clothing. ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, Ye Zifan blocked his way: "Priest, I am here for the wheat, when will you let me see him?" ”

Xiao Chengyu glanced at him coldly: "You won't be able to see wheat in the near future!" ”

"Why?" Ye Zifan asked in a deep voice.

"Don't be too happy, today is just the first test, if you want to save the wheat, you have to raise Gu with your body, the pain during this period is not something that ordinary people can bear, if you regret it now, it's too late!" Xiao Chengyu said.

Ye Zifan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled hesitantly: "If I come alone, I will definitely return to two people, and I will save the wheat!" ”

"I hope you're not just going to be quick to talk!" Xiao Chengyu walked out of the stone house with his sleeves in his words.

Sure enough, some daily necessities such as bedding will be delivered later, and food will also be delivered during meal time.

The first attempt in front of the hall really consumed a lot of physical strength, plus the night before he had not slept all night, Ye Zifan fell on the bed exhausted, dreamless all night.

On the morning of the second day, Xiao Chengyu came.

Ye Zifan has always been very curious about what the rumored divine Gu worm is.

Xiao Chengyu did not disappoint him, took out a palm-sized brocade box from the medicine box, opened the lid, and inside was a worm the size of a leech, with sharp thorns on its body.

The body of the insect was shriveled like a specimen, Xiao Chengyu took out the soaked silver needle from the medicine bottle and pricked it gently, and the insect that was originally as soft as a dry corpse actually bulged like a balloon, and then slowly wriggled and squirmed.

As soon as he thought that his body would become a container for this Gu worm, Ye Zifan felt that the hairs were upside down, something crawled over his back, his whole body was itchy and unbearable, and his body trembled subconsciously.

Seeing that the Gu worms were becoming more and more active, Xiao Chengyu squirmed and wanted to crawl out of the box, took out a silver knife from the medicine box, and motioned to Ye Zifan: "Stretch out your hand!" ”

Ye Zifan gritted his teeth and stretched out his palm, the silver light flashed in front of him, and before he could see Xiao Chengyu's movements, there was already an extra cut in his wrist.

The bubbling red blood came out from under the skin, and Ye Zifan's heart ached slightly.

Lao Tzu is a panda blood, how can he make up for it after he has shed so much.

Even though he thought so, he didn't make any gestures of resistance.

Xiao Chengyu used tweezers to pick up the Gu worm and put it on Ye Zifan's cut wrist, the Gu worm smelled blood and was very active, crawling on Ye Zifan's wrist frantically sucking the blood flowing out, the white insect body gradually turned red, and after the blood flowing out of the wrist was sucked up, he desperately drilled into the muscle along the gap that cut the skin.

At the beginning, Ye Zifan only felt numb and itchy, and it didn't hurt too much. Later, when the Gu worm squeezed into the muscles, it was like a sharp blade penetrating and stirring the pain unbearable.

Ye Zifan gritted his teeth and endured it, and by the time the Gu worm had completely burrowed into his muscles, he was already sweating profusely and his face was pale.

Xiao Chengyu wrapped his injured wrist and said, "You have a good rest, you will be a little unwell in the past few days." ”

As soon as Ye Zifan thought of such a big bug in his body, his stomach turned over.

"Priest, how long does this worm have to be raised?"

"For the first seven days, the Gu worm has to fuse with the body, and after it is completely fused, it will not be able to feel its existence. At that time, use your blood to remove the toxins of the Birth Gu for the wheat. ”

Ye Zifan's face was green, and he was going to fuse in the first seven days, how could such a big insect fuse in his body, he felt sick to his stomach when he thought about it.

"You have a good rest, if you feel unwell, you can find someone to inform me!"

Xiao Chengyu put the utensils back into the medicine box and left the stone house.

At first, Ye Zifan didn't feel any discomfort, only felt a little prostration in his body and a little dizziness in his head.

But in the middle of the night, I felt something gnawing at the fabric fibers under the skin, and the pain spread along the whole arm to the limbs. Every pore was like ten thousand needles piercing, and Ye Zifan bit the futon tightly and endured the pain in his body.

I don't know how long it took, I don't know how long it hurt, until the sky turned white and the pain slowly faded.

Ye Zifan curled up his body, and the bedding under his body was already wet with sweat.

His face was full of exhaustion, but his eyes were still bright and dazzling, shining with an indomitable luster.

Every time the colic came in the middle of the night as scheduled, it lasted like this for seven days, and Ye Zifan also gritted his teeth and stood strong for seven days.
