Chapter 12: A Test of Courage

"Sure enough, the Great Gate Sect is not so easy to enter, and it still has to be tested." Yuan Yang muttered inwardly, looked up at the head of Qingqian, bit his lip and said, "Master, I am willing to break through those two levels!" ”

The head of Qingqian looked indifferent, raised the dust in his hand and waved, and immediately appeared in front of him

A circular circle with a diameter of seven feet, the center of the circle rotates constantly, like a whirlpool, never stopping. Yuan Yang looked at the rotating magic circle, and after a while, he felt dizzy.

"Child, as soon as you step into this circle, I will do what I can do to cross you to the checkpoint. Let me ask you again, are you really determined to join my Yunji faction? ”

Yuan Yang nodded firmly again, "I don't regret it, please cross me." With that, Yuan Yang stepped into the magic circle used to teleport the level.

Qingqian Zhenren didn't say much more, and with a flick of his fingers, the magic circle turned, and Yuan Yang immediately disappeared into the magic circle.

And Yuan Yang only felt that there was a blank in front of her, and a gust of wind was blowing in her ears, and she could vaguely hear the voice of Feng Yidao, who was fat in Shicai: "Alas, this checkpoint is so dangerous, and many people have lost their lives there, and I don't know what will happen to this child." ”

"Ahh Yuan Yang was shocked and said to himself: "Is this level really dangerous?" A faint sense of remorse welled up in my heart, if I couldn't break through the level, not to mention that I couldn't enter the Yunji faction, and I lost my life, it would be a little worthless. But if you come in, why should you go back? The attitude of the talented Yuan Yang is still so firm, even if she wants to go back, she can't find her way back.

Yuan Yang's mind was still a little flustered, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had come out of a desolate place. The bleak wind swept in, mixed with the yellow sand in the sky, and Yuan Yang involuntarily closed his eyes.

The wind and sand blew, and Yuan Yang opened his eyes, only to see that there was no grass around him.

There are piles of rocks, and there are white bones in between, and they are lifeless. Even the sky overhead was pressed with heavy black clouds, and from time to time lightning and thunder roared, which was quite terrifying.

Yuan Yang was not very frightened when he saw these scenes, after all, he was a corpse chaser before, and he was not very afraid of the corpse and bones.

She looked at the endless pile of rubble in front of her in confusion, took a deep breath, and although she didn't know what lay ahead, she still walked up.

Leaving the hall lightly, Zhang Daoqing was already sitting on a bench, and Ji Yeli behind him was standing quietly, dressed in a blue and white robe, which was just right for his slender body. Ji Yeli didn't have the slightest change in his expression, but he had already begun to talk endlessly with the first few of the temple.

Hengying, who has a national face, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and said with a straight face: "Senior brother in charge, you summoned us here for this purpose?" ”

Qingqian Zhenren bowed slightly, and said: "In the past few days, I have been observing the sky at night, and I have predicted that there are guests coming, and they will even join my Yunji Sect as a disciple, and it may have an impact on my Yunji Sect. He paused again, raised his eyebrows, and said, "However, whether it is a guest or a disciple depends on her creation." ”

"A test of courage, that sleepless place is full of dangers, and I don't know if she can break through with a little girl." The fat Feng Yidao said.

Qing Qian waved his hand casually, and an octagonal prism immediately appeared in front of everyone, and the picture of the octagonal prism was actually Yuan Yang's every move in the test of courage.

In the sleepless place, the black smoke is filled, the bones are thick, and the uneven stone road is uneven, and Yuan Yang walks forward tremblingly. The bleak wind blew, the crows cried, and mourned all over the field.

"Ahh Yuan Yang took a step forward, but unexpectedly, his feet were empty, and the whole person fell into a pit. The pit was not deep, but it covered the whole person, and the pit was surrounded by sharp bayonets, and if you accidentally moved your body at will, you would be stabbed all over in blood by these sharp knives.

Yuan Yang naturally didn't dare to move, she looked up and down, and found that there was a bamboo pole under her feet, but only the upper body of the bamboo pole was exposed, and the other half thought that it had been deeply inserted into the soil. Yuan Yang tried to pull out the bamboo pole, but found that the bamboo pole weighed tens of millions of catties, and he couldn't pull it out at all.

Yuan Yang originally planned to use the bamboo pole to jump out of this pit, but she couldn't pull it out now, and she didn't have any other way. "It seems that the only way to go up is to step on these sharp knives." Yuan Yang said to do it, and slowly stepped on the bayonet at the moment, who expected that when Yuan Yang touched the bayonet with one foot, the bayonet actually spun up, broke away from the pit wall, and was about to stab at Yuan Yang. Yuan Yang was surprised, but he also dodged in a hurry.

At this time, an ethereal old man's voice rang out: "These knives are untouchable, and once you touch them, they will attack you." The sharp knife is very small and slow, just a warning to you, if you touch it again, then the next knife will definitely kill you. ”

"Who are you?" Yuan Yang heard the voice of the old man who suddenly appeared in Shicai, and was surprised and surprised, and couldn't help shouting loudly.

"I'm the test director in this sleepless place, Green Chuon." The voice rang out again.

"So I'm already in beta now?" Yuan Yang Qi said.

Lu Chuweng's voice sounded again, "Yes, for now, you just need to fill the bamboo tube with dirt, and the bamboo pole will bring you up." ”

Yuan Yang frowned, and said in disbelief: "Aren't you the test supervisor?" Why are you telling me this? Is this meant to help me cheat? ”

The other party paused for a long time and said slowly: "Don't be excited, this is just the first step, and there are more difficult things waiting for you later." Everyone who takes the courage test has a chance to be guided by the test supervisor, and I will guide you on how to come up, isn't that just the opportunity to help you use it? ”

Yuan Yang's body was shocked, her expression was a little dazed, and after she reacted, she said, "I...... You didn't even ask me if I would like to use the opportunity to be guided, why did you help me use it without permission? ”

"Hehe, if you use it, you use it, no matter how excited you are, you can't change the fact that you don't have the opportunity to guide anymore."

"I ......" the central qi knot. After a while, she secretly said in her heart: "This old man is really cunning, the next test will be many times more difficult than this, he used up my guidance opportunity first, just so that I can't turn to him later, in that case, my chance of passing the test of courage will be even smaller." Yunji faction, it's really hard to get into. ”

After sighing, she crouched down cautiously, and she reached out to pick up the dirt, and found that it was better than the stone. Yuan Yang secretly complained to himself, took off the hairpin he pinned to his head, and dug the ground little by little. While digging the ground, she also heard the laughter of Lu Chuweng in a trance.

When the barrel of the bamboo pole was filled with mud, he was already sweating profusely and his hands were covered with dirt. I saw a flash of blue light, and the bamboo pole rose to the sky, flying out of the pit with a coat.

Yuan Yang'er's heart was still fluttering, and the bamboo pole had returned to the pit. Yuan Yang took a step forward, and there was a creaking sound, in the blink of an eye, there was already a black and white square grid in front of him, Yuan Yang counted it, a total of seven seven forty-nine grids, neatly arranged, but the patterns depicted on the grid are different, divided into two kinds, one grid is painted on the person, and the other grid is painted on the horse.

"What is this?" Yuan Yang had the lesson of falling into the pit before, and he didn't dare to move forward again, but stopped and observed carefully.

After waiting for a long time, the forty-nine squares in front of me were still as seen earlier, and there was no change at all. Yuan Yang simply bent down to pick up a stone and gently threw it at one of the small squares.

It was at this point that the forty-nine squares were moved, as if a puzzle had been disrupted, and the positions of all the small squares had been changed.

Yuan Yang was puzzled, she didn't know why these small squares changed positions, and when the forty-nine small squares stopped moving, Yuan Yang picked up a small stone and threw it at the square, and for a while, the forty-nine squares in front of her changed their positions again.

"Sure enough, as soon as you touch the squares, the layout of the squares changes instantly." Yuan Yang's eyebrows furrowed, and what puzzled her was: what was the purpose of these squares changing positions?

Looking at the ground beneath her feet, she felt that the ground on which her feet were located was flatter and cleaner than the rest of the place, and Yuan Yang crouched down and tapped the ground gently.

Suddenly, under the ground between Yuanyang and the forty-nine squares, a black stone lampstand slowly rose, the lampstand was only one foot long, and the light illuminated the square in front of Yuanyang, and several golden characters appeared on the forty-nine squares in an instant.

"The centaur star array, the transformation is blurred, although the horse is wild, but it is subject to people."

The sixteen golden characters only stayed for a moment before disappearing, and Yuan Yang pondered the meaning of these sixteen characters. The first eight characters should refer to the name of these forty-nine squares, and it turns out that the square blocking the way in front of it is called the Centaur Star Array. But what is the meaning of the last eight characters? Yuan Yang is not very old, but she has developed the habit of thinking since she was a child, and once she encounters difficulties, she has to keep scrutinizing.

Yuan Yang picked up another stone and threw it at the centaur star array, and the forty-nine squares immediately began to change. Yuan Yang looked at the constantly changing lattice without blinking, and finally his eyes lit up, and he whispered: "Sure enough, some of these lattices are painted with human shapes, and some are painted with horse shapes, why didn't I pay attention to this." ”

The sixteen golden characters that he saw sounded again: "The star array of people and horses, changing and blurring, although the horses are wild, they are subject to people." She finally understood, and with a look of joy on her face, she said, "Stepping on this centaur star array, the humanoid pattern and the horse-shaped pattern will continue to change. The so-called 'horses are wild, but they are subject to people' must mean that they can only walk on human figures. ”

Thinking of this, Yuan Yang planned to give it a try. She plucked up her courage and stepped on the centaur star array, and her first step was to step on the square of the humanoid pattern, and after the forty-nine squares were transformed, Yuan Yang continued to grow the humanoid pattern and walked forward.

Halfway through, Yuan Yang stood on the humanoid pattern, she had just stepped into the centaur star array before she prepared two stones, and now she threw the stones into the square on the horse-shaped pattern, to the shock of Yuan Yang's body, the square of the horse-shaped pattern immediately fell down rapidly, and fell into the deep ground that Yuan Yang couldn't see.

In this way, as long as the first step of a person is still on the human pattern, if the next step is on the horse pattern, then he will fall into the abyss and his life will not be saved.

Yuan Yang finally believed her reasoning this time, and she didn't dare to try the horse-shaped pattern of the square again, so she hurriedly looked for the square of the humanoid pattern and walked forward, until she came to the opposite bank of the Centaur Star Array, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, people are a bit smart." Lu Chuweng's voice also sounded at this time.

Yuan Yang looked around, but still couldn't see Lu Chuweng's figure, Yuan Yang took a few steps back, and shouted, "Where are you?" Why do you hide from talking? ”

"Ouch, you're stepping on my head!" Lu Chuweng's reproachful voice came immediately.

Yuan Yang was surprised, looked underground, but didn't find anything strange, "There is obviously nothing on the ground, why do you say I stepped on you?" ”

"Ouch, you don't go away, my headache is dead!"

Confused, Yuan Yang moved his steps and took a closer look at the ground where he was standing. said that it was too late, but I saw a wisp of green smoke on the ground, and a four-foot old man actually came out of the ground.
