Chapter 287: The Seventh Room
In the seventh room, the old man stepped into it with confused eyes.
He felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, his physical strength was still full, but his spirit was already in a trance, he didn't know if he could hold on, but he didn't want to give up halfway, a desperate willpower made him look up.
In the first six rooms, he had already understood.
In every room, there is a stone fence screen, the stone is an ordinary stone, and the carving on it is also an ordinary carving, but it is an ordinary combination, and the things contained in it are unimaginable.
In the first room, he saw a picture of a water town, with water and grass, ordinary to the extreme, even rough.
However, when you experience it carefully, it can be like a martial arts work of Wenzhi, which can make the connoisseur immersed in the scene, and directly trap the spiritual power in the carved landscape.
Of course, if that's all there is to it.
After all, it is a well-known thing that most of them are not dangerous.
It's weird, it's weird.
It's obviously just immersive, but there is danger in it!
A huge fish suddenly jumped up from the water and attacked them, and this fish could not be killed at all, it was very ferocious, until finally, everyone was killed, and then it was out of the immersive state.
is also because of this, as soon as it comes out, many people look like they have a huge consumption of mental power.
After that, in the second room, the old man encountered a high mountain, and it was steep on all sides, towering into the sky, and those who entered it were completely ruined and thrown there.
The mountain wind was cold, and in a few moments, they felt like they were going to freeze, and the threat of death made everyone anxious.
Some gritted their teeth and went down the steep cliff, while others felt that they should be able to go out on their own after a while, so they waited on it.
And the old man witnessed the fate of all.
Most of the people who climbed down the rock did not go far into the abyss, and even the more powerful ones did not go far before they were blown away by the terrible hurricane and disappeared.
The people on the stage were glad at first to see this, but soon they knew that they were no better.
In the cold wind, blood froze, and some people were frozen into corpses for life.
Some people are still insisting, but after holding on for a while, the world is turned upside down, the sun and the moon rotate, the snowflakes are fluttering, and in the end, including the old man himself, they are all frozen to death.
After walking through the second room, there were only a few people left behind, and only three or two dared to try the next room.
The third room.
It's still a screen, and on the screen is a ruined temple, a dilapidated temple.
Before they could see it, they were in it again.
They had never seen such a temple, and there was a statue in it, and they didn't know it.
At first, they didn't feel anything, only to find that it was pouring rain outside, lightning and thunder, and the ruined temple was dilapidated and dirty.
Several people had the previous two experiences, so they didn't mess around, and they didn't even take a step out of the temple gate at first.
Soon, however, they discovered that something was wrong.
It is also cold, but this kind of cold is not the kind of naked cold, but a kind of cold that gradually penetrates into the heart, in this kind of broken temple on a rainy night, they can't keep out the cold at all, let alone resist it.
They found a lot of broken wood and hay in the ruined temple and made a fire to keep warm.
Immediately afterward, a pang of hunger began to appear, and they looked at each other.
The hunger grew worse and worse, and someone finally couldn't bear it anymore and was ready to go out to find food, but the strange thing was that after the man went out, he never came back.
The rest of the people looked at each other, and it didn't take long for someone to be crazy with hunger, and their eyes began to glow green, and they wanted to choose someone to eat, this kind of hunger was simply terrible, and it made people shudder.
In the end, a few people who still had a little strength left chose to commit suicide one after another.
The old man saw all this in his eyes, he was also very hungry, after several people died, he once looked at the corpses in a daze, and finally silently walked out of the broken temple, encountered an invisible danger, and died.
Since then, only the old man has been left.
In the fourth room, he was lost in the wilderness, Liao was uninhabited, he walked for a long, long time, hungry and ate grass roots and bark, he couldn't even find the fruit, and he didn't know how long, he chose to commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake......
The fifth room, turned into a small grass, swaying in the wind, the wind and the sun, he watched all this silently, I don't know how long it has passed, at first he can still stay calm, but as time goes by, he feels anxious, lonely, panicked, panic, etc., etc., until much later, so long that he almost forgot who he was, and finally was burned to death by a mountain fire......
Again and again, cold, hunger, loneliness, and death that seemed like a real thing, it almost broke his spirit.
He didn't know how he stepped into the sixth room, and even when he stepped into the sixth room, he didn't know what he had experienced, in a trance, he seemed to have been reborn into an ordinary person in a world, this world has no martial artists, no strange things, some are just ordinary.
He lived his life in a daze in this world, birth, old age, sickness and death, this is a reincarnation, until the time of death, he did not feel pain.
This is still a stone sculpture of a screen.
The old man's scattered pupils subconsciously glanced around.
From left to right, there are six sides in total.
The first side, a trickling river, the second side, the mountain peaks are towering, the third side, the wilderness and broken temples, the fourth side, the barren mountains and mountains, the fifth side, a handful of weeds, and the sixth side, a city......
The old man was a little dazed.
What does that mean?
Could it be that this time, I have to experience everything at the same time?
Obviously, these screens were all experienced by him before, but he couldn't figure out why they appeared here at the same time.
Trembling a little, the old man gritted his teeth, forced himself not to fall unconscious, and stared at the first one.
Sure enough, in an instant, he reappeared in a place of déjà vu, and he was no longer in the mood to think about how this kind of immersion could be done, he looked at the river carefully and vigilantly.
If nothing else, in this river, there is a huge strange fish hidden that cannot be killed, very ferocious, he was bitten in two by it last time, blood stained the river, the unforgettable pain is almost unbearable, he really doesn't want to meet a second time, he would rather commit suicide.
Just when he was about to commit suicide, a strange scene appeared.
A melodious and beautiful flute came from the upper reaches of the river, and the old man subconsciously looked upstream.
A bamboo raft slowly went down the river, and on the bamboo raft, an old man in a cloth cooked wine and played music, cross-legged and fishing, so uncomfortable.
This......
The old man was stunned for a while, dazed.
Just when he was in a daze, the bamboo raft came to him, the old man opened his eyes and looked at the old man: "Hehe, few people come to this place, I didn't expect to meet a person today, do you want to come up and sit down?"
The old man hesitated, and when he saw the old man looking at him with a smile, he finally couldn't help but remind the old man: "This friend, it's not safe in this river, you better come ashore." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It's not safe......? It?"
At this moment, suddenly, a huge fish in the river jumped up, and the old man was frightened on the spot.
Seeing this, the old man shook his head and sighed, raised his glass to invite the moon, and drank it all: "Life is like a dream, and one is still in the river and the moon." ”
Suddenly.
The old man threw out the wine glass, like a meteor, and suddenly hit the strange fish, bright red river, and the moon shone on the fish corpse.
The old man was already dumbfounded.
"Are you still afraid?" asked the old man with a smile.
The old man was speechless.
Eventually, he stepped onto a bamboo raft.
Seeing this, the old man smiled, raised his hand and made a move, the fish corpse decomposed into a large piece of fish meat, the old man smiled and grilled the fish on a small stove, and after the test, handed a piece to the old man, the old man hesitated, or took it.
"The so-called immortality is powerless. ”
"The so-called danger is not exhausted. ”
"Do you understand?"
While the old man was eating fish, the old man asked the old man.
The old man's heart moved, as if he had an understanding, but he couldn't grasp this trace of comprehension, so he could only shake his head blankly.
The old man didn't say much, he looked at the distance ahead: "The ten screens are a test for the master to test his disciples, but it's a pity that you are not suitable." ”
The old man was taken aback.
This surprise is not only surprised by the old man's words, but also what they mean.
I was even more surprised by the identity of this old man.
"Don't be surprised, old man, I am just a spiritual life of the master for a long time, and I am not afraid of your jokes, old man, I am the lowest level at best among the master's subordinates. ”
"As for your curious immersive ......"
The old man ate a piece of fish and took a sip of warm wine: "Wenzhi's martial arts can be immersive, why can't you carve one?"
"You, you said that this is your master's test to evaluate his disciples, this, how can this be explained?" the old man couldn't help but ask.
"You've already met that fish before, haven't you?" asked the old man.
The old man nodded.
The old man smiled: "That's the first assessment, and it's your courage that is assessed." ”
Don't wait for the old man to be confused.
The old man said directly: "It's not that the fish can't be killed, it's just that you haven't found a way." ”
"After all, this is immersive, like a dream world, and in a dream, is there anything you can't do?"
"You can't kill because you think you can't kill, but as long as you think you can kill you, then you can easily kill it. ”
"Now, do you understand?"
The old man was silent, Sumeru, and he couldn't help but argue: "Didn't you say that ten rooms are all tests of willpower?"
"Willpower?" said the old man, "It's okay, but this first level, I prefer to name it the 'Dao Heart' level." ”
Dao Xinguan?
The old man was silent again, smiling bitterly.
He already understood.
This first level is actually a test of a person's Dao heart, a person with a strong Dao heart, naturally invincible, just a strange fish, naturally they are hand-to-hand, but they don't have this at all, and they have retreated before they have a fight.
In the end, failure is inevitable.
"What about the ones in the back?" asked the old man.
"On the lonely peak, you can see all the mountains at a glance, and those who have an open horizon, what is the cold? However, you can only see yourself, and you will naturally be self-contained, and eventually you will die of your own self-style, which is the 'delusional' level. "A glass of wine, the old man said.
The old man nodded.
He understands that, too.
No matter what profession it is, only by looking at the longer term, can you see more, although he doesn't know what this means, but he understands, the old man means that at that time, on the lonely peak, they are not bound to die, as long as they relax their thinking, there must be a way, and maybe it is not one, after all, the 'vision' does not really refer to the world in front of them.
"The wilderness is broken, there are unknown dangers outside, and the night rain is pouring down, and there is hunger and cold inside, but that is all the appearance, my generation of cultivators, will inevitably encounter all kinds of hardships and tortures, and must overcome thorns and thorns in order to move forward, even this kind of patience can not be endured, what is the avenue? ”
This level ......
The old man was gloomy.
At that time, he watched his 'companions' die one by one, and when he was already emaciated, how could he have any 'stubborn' thoughts?
Now it seems that this level, I am afraid that he can also endure it, and after a certain period of time, he will be able to pass, he will be completely wrong, and he will be wrong at the beginning, because he will die every time.
This is followed by the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels.
Barren mountains and mountains, he threw himself into the river at a loss, but this level tested how a person should survive in this situation.
This is the 'hard work' level, the road of the warrior is not smooth sailing, on the contrary, many times it is unsatisfactory, the so-called diligence can make up for the clumsiness, people who can't pass this level, how can they endure the hardships on the road?
A handful of weeds, exposed to the wind and sun, the old man loses himself, which naturally represents failure.
Like the 'hard work' level, the path of cultivation is destined to be lonely, even if the companions who have walked together on the road, it is impossible to accompany you, if you can't bear the loneliness, after all, the avenue is hopeless, and you will get lost in the vast avenue trend.
This is the 'patience' level.
Finally, the level that is like reliving a lifetime is even more important, and that is the 'morality' level.
There is no requirement for a person to live a new life and follow the rules, you can be a wicked person, you can also be a good person, of course, you can also be like an old man, become a little person who does nothing.
All this, when it is finally over, will form its own 'morality', but even if it is the simplest level on the surface, the old man still has not passed.
Breaking delusion, vision, stubbornness, hard work, morality.
It can be said that the old man did not pass the six major assessments, and even if he came here, he would do nothing.
After listening to the old man's words, the old man couldn't say a word, in addition to being lost, he was still lost.
The old man smiled and said: "But you don't have to be disappointed, although you can't become the master's disciple, let alone continue the reward trial below, but, the master's golden mouth, the promise you said, you can still get it, that is, you can let the Jade Carving Building do one thing for you." ”
At first, the old man was still annoyed by his failure.
But when he heard the old man's words, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"
The old man nodded: "Okay, the time should come, I won't keep you, go out, my young master has been waiting for a long time, can't you let the young master wait longer......"
In an instant, the old man was in a trance, and when he reappeared, he had already returned to the seventh room.
At this time, a young girl was looking at the old man with a smile...... [.]
