Chapter 173: Refining the Heart

Su Lin lay on the ground, stood up with the pain in his chest, looked at the other side of the wooden bridge, and grinned, fortunately he was quite decisive, otherwise he would definitely fall. Although his chest hurts, Tong Shengwen's talent attack power is not strong, and he has already become a leader, so even if he has nine bricks, he can carry it. After resting for about a stick of incense and feeling that he was feeling better, Su Lin got up and groped his way forward again.

The sound of the murmuring of the stream echoes in the ears, and the deep and winding path winds in the green bamboos into the distance. More than ten minutes later, Surin appeared in front of a mountain. Looking at the height of the mountain, the winding path stretched upwards like vines attached to old trees. Su Lin summed it up and slowly began to climb the mountain.

This section of the slope is not too steep, Su Lin slowly slowed down his breathing according to the book, and then coordinated his breathing with his pace, and walked up without hurrying. After walking for a while, a gazebo appeared in front of him, and Su Lin breathed a sigh of relief that he could rest here.

He straightened his collar and walked into the gazebo. The gazebo has only a few wooden chairs, a stone platform in the middle, surrounded by green trees and cliffs, and nothing else, simple and elegant. Surin found a wooden chair, and sat down, recovering his strength to relieve his fatigue. Although the road was gentle, it added up to more than ten kilometers, and I was hit by nine more arrow shadows, and my chest still hurt slightly, so I could only try my best to recover.

Seeing that the sun was about to rise to midday, Su Lin sighed, forced himself to stop the idea of resting for a while, and got up to prepare to go out.

"Hey, Shushan turned out to be like this, but unfortunately I was unprepared, and now I haven't even taken a sip of water. Fortunately, I was baptized and able to persevere. Look, I've walked more than halfway to the top of the hill and I'm going to enter the real temple. When the time comes, you don't have to worry about meeting the saints, even if you only have one breath left. He gritted his teeth and decided to set off quickly, lest the time drag on too long and affect the evaluation of himself by the saints.

As soon as he got up, the scenery in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the mountain road that had been in and out suddenly disappeared, leaving only the four closed walls in front of him, sealing everything in front of him.

Su Lin was shocked, and quickly turned his head and looked around, and found that this space was completely closed, only the hazy white walls remained, but fortunately, there was no obstruction to vision. And Shushan must have a lot of tests, he has long been mentally prepared, and this level is no exception, but he didn't expect it to be a pavilion that can't get in or out. He took a deep breath and prepared to find a way out.

Before he could do anything, he saw a row of words appear on the original stone platform, and a brush was placed next to it. He walked over and read word by word: "Zi said: 'The meanness is so good!

Su Lin laughed, don't you know that I have obtained the "Confucian and Taoist Sacred Classics", and you dare to take out such an exam question to test me? As soon as the annotation was finished, the line disappeared immediately, and another line appeared. Su Lin pursed his lips, unconcerned, and wrote down the note again.

An hour and a half later, the entire enclosed space suddenly disappeared and changed to its original appearance. At this time, the handwriting and brushes on the stone platform were still not gone.

"Could it be that I can go out after answering a certain number of questions correctly, but how many correct answers are related to the evaluation of the saints behind me? No, I want to answer all of them correctly. Su Lin relented and continued to get up. And in his Zhihai, Guan Mingyu was looking at his system with a painful face, and the causal points continued to decrease by two or three points, and so far they have decreased by two hundred and seventy points.

He took a deep breath and said hatefully: "Labor and management endure it, if you don't return to your capital this time, I will strip you naked and throw you into the state city after you go out, and make you famous!"

When the causal point decreased by three hundred and sixty points, the words on the stone platform finally disappeared. Su Lin raised his head at this time, slowed down, and waited for his mood to calm down before getting up and walking forward.

The mountain road rises slowly, and it is almost close to the top of the mountain. Su Lin was stunned and looked at the dark cave in front of him. This cave is directly in front of this path, and there are no other passages next to it. After recalling carefully and confirming that he had not taken the wrong path, Su Lin walked into the cave with his feet raised.

——————

Not far in front of him, an overwhelming crowd of enemies in iron armor and spears in hand poured towards the walls. Behind these enemies, in front of the trebuchets, the soldiers put stones and fireballs into the trebuchets, and then smashed them one by one into the walls at their feet, like meteors falling from the sky, and heavenly fire descended. The stones and fireballs were not very accurate, and every time they crossed the walls, a heart-rending howl could be heard from behind.

Guan Mingyu looked around, the chaotic crowd was mixed with heart-rending cries, the old and weak women and children were running around the street, and even the soldiers around them were full of fear, dodging stones and fireballs in a panic. Under the city walls, countless soldiers flocked to the city, erected siege ladders, and were already about to climb the city walls.

On his side, the order of defending the city became more and more panicked, and the falling rocks and molten iron had already been prepared, but because of the panic, they had no power to resist, and only a few soldiers remained, constantly throwing the falling rocks and molten iron, shooting down many enemies, and falling off the city wall with a scream.

What is going on? Didn't I hide it on Su Lin, why did I come out? And look at it like this, this is an accidental illusion, and the theme is that there is an enemy attacking the city? Before he could see the situation clearly, he saw that the enemy vanguard was about to climb the top of the city, and the soldiers on his side were becoming more and more panicked. Several people worked together to push the enemy vanguard down again.

"It's just an enemy in the refining period, and in this realm, even a million enemies can't kill me. I can't fight an army of millions, but they don't want to kill me. Thinking like this, Guan Mingyu quickly reacted, and wanted to take out the big knife as soon as his consciousness moved, but the space ring did not react. Guan Mingyu was stunned for a moment, can't use spiritual power? That's right, this should be an illusion, and it's normal not to be able to use spiritual power. But he is a fourth-order martial arts cultivator, even if he doesn't have spiritual power, he can kill thousands of troops and horses by himself.

He reached out and grabbed a large knife, and was about to slash down at the enemy who had already climbed to the top of the city. The enemy grabbed the siege ladder in one hand and raised his long knife in the other to parry. Guan Mingyu was ruthless and cut down at him, but the imaginary two cuts did not happen, the enemy was a fierce general, and he actually held his own knife!

Guan Mingyu panicked for a while, his spiritual power could not be used, and his powerful body, which could be called an ancient dragon to ordinary people, was gone? Guan Mingyu, who had a deep understanding of the illusion, was slightly stunned, and with his exquisite moves, he slashed a few times, and finally knocked the warrior out of the city.

"Or give up resistance? It's an illusion anyway, and it's a rootless source. If it is a real illusion, unless Sendai can adjust the rules and evolve into a real cave, his spiritual power and body refining skills will not disappear. And according to my calculations, even Confucius, the sage of this world, is equivalent to the true person of the Yuan Shen who has survived the trilemma. Moreover, in the cave world, it is impossible for a real person to survive the nine tribulations, this is the rule of heaven, and it is impossible to make a mistake, unless it is a Taoist cave heaven, so this illusion cannot really hurt me. ”

"If it is really the way to get out of the illusion realm by defending the city, with the accumulation of several worlds of mine, I will take the time to directly open a large riot army and push these enemies who look like the ancient army, and it is better to flee at the moment. ”

He was about to find a way to escape, when a fairly neat group of soldiers next to him squeezed through the panicked crowd and ran to his side, and the leader shouted: "Lord, lord is here, quickly, quickly organize people to protect the lord and return to the house, and I will wait for the head of the city to defend against the enemy." ”

Guan Mingyu was shocked, and only then did he have time to look at his dress. The chubby body with a red feather hat and a white crane embroidered on his chest is exactly the dress of an official, no wonder the warrior is desperate to kill himself, it turns out that he is the lord.

He calmed down and said hurriedly: "The enemy has attacked, general, what we have to do now is to quickly find a way to retreat, not to go to the city to defend against the enemy." "What are you kidding, I'm an ordinary person now, and the enemy is going to be killed, isn't it looking for death if you don't run? What's more, these are all NPCs, why bother embarrassing yourself?

The general was stunned for a moment, his face was incredulous, and he struggled and said: "Lord, the enemy army came over the mountains in a hurry, and it happened that our army went to Changheng Pass, so that the enemy could succeed." The enemy had already poured out, marching no more than a thousand men, and these enemies had come in reinforcements in the future. ”

Guan Mingyu's anger surged: "Coming over the mountains and mountains? But a thousand people? General, are you dreaming? The enemy even came with trebuchets, how could it be that they came over the mountains and mountains? And the enemy army has already exceeded 10,000, where are the thousands?"

"Lord, that is the most elite ironclad army of the enemy country, but there are only two thousand, and the trebuchets carried are all small, which are brought by the follow-up reinforcements, and the lethality is not large, as long as you defend with an iron heart, you can hold it. His subordinates have already sent someone to pass on the military order, and General Long will be able to return to the city in three days, and with the strength of our army, he may be able to fight back. ”

"It seems that I am not really in hell mode this time, as long as I hold on for a day, I can reverse it. But looking at the panicked soldiers, Guan Mingyu shook his head and said, "General, the enemy has already captured the city, not to mention that after three days, it will not be able to hold it for even an hour." ”

The blood of the general and the soldiers surged: "Lord, if you don't defend the city, what should you do if you let the people in the city be full?" Lord, think twice, once we withdraw, the enemy commander has already given the order, after the city is broken, the city will be slaughtered for three days!"

Guan Mingyu was stunned, slaughtering the city, this word has not been seen for many years, and he has only heard of the slaughter of the city by nomads in ancient times. And once the city is slaughtered, the entire city, 100,000 people, will be turned into dust.

He thought in his heart, since this is the case, it is better to fight hard. Anyway, for himself, even if he dies, it's just a return to languishing for March. At this time, he suddenly saw a towering tower in front of him, standing outside the city wall, maybe it could be used as a new wall after it was brought down?
