Chapter 42: The Final Test
In the dim altar space, the two looked at each other, and in the end, it was Duan Qing who was the first to lose.
"What kind of eyes do you have, like you see a ghost? Duan Qing jumped down the stairs and walked towards Bai Ling.
Bai Ling glanced at Duan Qing, and said crisply: "Yes, of course I saw a ghost, it's you, a stunned ghost, what did you do this time, you actually went in for so long." ”
"Long?" Duan Qing was stunned for a moment, pointed to himself, and said: "No, it's only been a few hours since I went in, how can it be a long time, are you mistaken." ”
Bai Ling stomped his feet, a trace of anger welled up on his pretty face, pointed at Duan Qing's nose, and snorted coldly: "A few hours, do you know how long I have been waiting this time? I have been waiting for several hours for your trial last time, and this time I actually made me wait for two days, you still look innocent, have you considered my feelings." ”
The more Bai Ling spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and a little mist appeared in his eyes, Duan Qing saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward, and said apologetically: "This, I'm sorry, Bai Ling, it's me who is wrong, but although I have used it for a long time this time, this second level of heart refining has also benefited me a lot." ”
"Hmph, it's good to know, you've used it for so long, and you can't get a little return, so just find a piece of tofu and kill it. Seeing Duan Qing, Bai Ling lowered his posture and apologized to himself, and he didn't feel too embarrassed for him, and tilted the corners of his mouth to the other side, covering up the embarrassing situation just now.
"Hehe, of course I know this, and besides, I've noticed some strange things. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" Bai Ling became curious when she heard this, she still needed to know about the situation that Duan Qing experienced in the test, so that she could better help Duan Qing and improve her strength.
"In the first test, I met my own doppelganger, which can also be said to be a demon, but this time, I met a group of people, real people. Duan Qing's face was a little solemn, and it was conceivable that he was still relatively unclear about these two tests, "When I first started the second test, you said that the level of heart refining is the key, that is to say, the group of people I met is likely to be another layer of test I am going to undertake." ”
Duan Qing slightly explained the process of the second layer of the test, like Bai Ling, including the encounter and test with Yan Yu, and finally their petition.
After hearing this, Bai Ling fell into a short period of contemplation, and then asked, "Then you say, could this be a request left by the person who imitated this Red Lotus Burning Sky?"
"Request, are you saying that Yan Yu and the others have something to do with this secret imitator?" Duan Qing naturally heard what Bai Ling was referring to, but he still wanted to confirm it.
"Giggles, it looks like the nerd has finally opened his mind. Bai Ling smiled lightly, took two steps towards the altar, flipped his hands, and the power of chaos slowly dispersed, and for a while it actually overwhelmed the power emitted by the altar, Duan Qing hurriedly ran his true qi to resist, and after a while, Bai Ling lowered his hands, and the surroundings suddenly returned to normal.
A beam of bright light was held in Bai Ling's left hand, and Bai Ling didn't look at it, he directly handed it to Duan Qing and said, "Oh, here you go." ”
Duan Qing took the thing given by Bai Ling, took it in his hand and looked at it, this is a jade plate with a whole body like jade, with a simple shape, a red lion head carved on the top, angrily opening his bloody mouth, roaring silently, and there is no text in the middle of the jade plate, only a cluster of gorgeous flame patterns, which seems to have the power of burning the sky.
"What is this?" After playing with the jade card for a while, Duan looked at Bai Ling puzzled.
"The clan order of the Chiyang clan. Bai Ling laughed and said lightly, "Fang Cai, I collected the breath of this Red Lotus Burning Heaven and condensed it, the world can only be created with the unique aura emitted by the Red Lotus Burning Sky, you have to put it away, this thing is very precious." ”
"Chiyang Clan Order..."Duan Qing looked at the jade plate in his hand again, "Could this thing be related to the third-layer trial?"
"Smart nerd really don't have to worry about anyone, you are right, but not entirely right, the third layer of the test is indeed related to it, but this time it should be different, after all, this altar is made by others, and the red lotus burning sky cannot be understood by people so simply, therefore, the mysterious person is likely to build the third layer of the test according to his own thoughts. ”
Immediately afterwards, Bai Ling looked at Duan Qing's pensive appearance, as if in order to avoid causing Duan Qing to think too much, he hurriedly explained: "You don't have to worry too much, you have passed the first two layers of tests, and there should be no problem if there is no accident in the third layer." ”
Duan Qing nodded, took the Chiyang Clan Order into his arms, and said, "Then I'll hurry up and go to the third layer test, so I can get out of here as soon as possible, I don't know what happened to the Duan family now, hey." "Duan Qing has counted the time, he has been trapped here for several days, and since the conflict with the Bei family has been now, he should have discovered that he was missing.
"Father, he should already know the news of my disappearance, forget it, the most important thing at the moment is to pass the third layer of the test quickly. Duan Qing shook his head, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and made the final preparations.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Ling naturally showed a subtle change in the relationship on the side, "Looking at your face, it seems that there is something on your mind." ”
"No, it's nothing, I'm going up, and I'm going to trouble you to wait for a while again. Duan Qing waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
The dark altar was still standing in front of him, he took a deep breath, Duan Qing's gaze became more determined, his body turned, and in the next moment, he had stepped up to the third layer of the stairs.
With a "--! bang", when Duan Qing's feet stepped on the third layer of the Red Lotus Burning Sky Staircase, the six long pillars around the entire altar actually released a dazzling dazzle in an instant, Duan Qing hurriedly raised his hand to cover it, but he was still unable to open his eyes.
Suddenly, the flags on the six long pillars flew, and the raging flames actually burned from the long pillars, like six fire dragons, straight into the sky, not only that, the flames seemed to be related to each other, and suddenly formed six walls of fire, cutting off the space between Duan Qing and Bai Ling.
The raging flames shone on the entire underground space, like a red furnace, and the scorching temperature was like a scorching sun, which made Bai Ling also a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly pinched a seal.
"Ice Ling Realm!"
Five fingers turned over the flowers, a small snow-white mirror appeared in his hand, Bai Ling's palm was lightly raised, the snow-white small mirror slowly flew to the top of his head, and in the next moment, a white cover blocked Bai Ling's body, isolating the scorching heat.
"What is the purpose of this mysterious person, to build the Red Lotus Burning Heaven here, could it be that he is the orphan of the Chiyang Clan? Bai Ling looked at the altar in front of him with slightly solemn eyes, and his thoughts drifted to that ancient era, but as soon as he wanted to get more information from his memory, his head actually felt a sharp pain.
"Ah--!" Bai Ling's brain seemed to be like a pinprick, and he suddenly sat on the ground with his head in his hands, his whole body was cold, and after a while, the pain subsided, Bai Ling slowly opened his eyes, and there was a fear in his eyes, as if he had seen something terrible.
"It seems that there is no way to see that memory now, is it asking the Immortal Ring what he did?" Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the altar surrounded by red flames with deep thought. "I hope you can be safe, it seems that this matter still needs to be discussed with the fairy elder, and I don't know how my sister is going. ”
"Buzz --!"
Duan Qing opened his eyes as usual, and sure enough, he came to a strange space, but this space seemed a little strange.
"Strange, why is there nothing this time?" Duan Qing looked around, but still didn't find anything, this was a very ordinary space, there was darkness all around, only a light around ten meters or so.
Strange places are often curious, and Duan Qing is no exception, although the place where you can see is not big, but Duan Qing is still ready to look around.
After making up his mind, Duan Qing had already walked a few meters, looked down and observed, and couldn't see it in the dark place, so he could only see if he could find it on the ground under his feet.
"Ordinary land, ordinary space, there is nothing wrong with it, where is the test of this layer?"
"No, it stands to reason that there must be something necessary for him to send me to this space, so the test must be here, how to find this?" After Duan Qing thought about it, he took a picture of all the places he could see, but there were still no clues, however, during the time he was thinking.
There was a strange change in the space, and I saw a stone platform appear in the middle of the ground out of thin air, which was the appearance of the stone platform that interrupted Duan Qing's thoughts all of a sudden, and Duan Qing hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.
"What is this? Could it be that the test of the third layer has something to do with this?" Duan Qing did not carelessly touch the stone platform, but took a closer look around the stone platform.
"Stone, dull, rough, it should be some age, hey, what is this?" Duan Qing didn't find anything at first, but inadvertently, his eyes fell on the top of the stone platform, which was a stone lotus pattern.
"Shi Lian, could it be that this is also the red lotus above the red lotus burning the sky?" Duan Qing immediately combined this pattern with the stone lotus on the altar, he felt that there must be some connection between the two, although he didn't know the specific relationship, but this was also a rare clue.
"Buzz --!"
In the next moment, the stone platform was actually lit up with a brilliant light, sacred and inviolable, and a cluster of red flames rose from the stone lotus, suspended above the stone platform.
Duan Qing's eyes widened as he watched the sudden change, staring at this cluster of red flames dumbfounded, because he found that this cluster of red flames was actually very similar to people, although it was not empty, and it was very small, like a miniature version of a doll, to be exact, a fire elf.
The villain danced in front of Duan Qing's eyes, constantly changing his shape with the red flames on his body, sometimes dancing, sometimes waving his arms.
"This, this is actually a person?" Duan Qing felt that his cognition was being questioned, he had never seen a creature in this form except for normal people and demon beasts, but he was not sure for the time being if this was really alive, not just Chiyan's appearance.
