Li Yi followed closely behind Chu Jiang and entered the interior of the Pure Yang Palace.

The Chunyang Palace is unexpectedly spacious, completely inconsistent with the size of the palace outside, there are hundreds of futons inside, and there is a tall jade statue in front of the futon, which is a Taoist wearing a seven-star crown, wearing a Taiji Taoist robe, and carrying a sword behind his back, and under it stands a middle-aged man wearing a green robe with an ordinary face.

Chu Jiang walked up to the man and saluted, "Master, I have already brought the person." ”

"Well, you stand aside first, and I'll ask about the situation. The man's face was expressionless, and after casually ordering Chu Jiang, he looked at Li Yi.

"My name is Su Tianbai, I am a second-generation disciple of the Zixu lineage, and I am also the master of Chu Jiang and Gongsun Sheng, as far as I know, Gongsun Sheng died in battle when the Liangshan Uprising failed more than ten years ago, and now, can you tell me, how did you get the recommendation letter from Gongsun Sheng's handbook?"

Su Tianbai's tone was not harsh, just lightly, but somehow, Li Yi just felt a huge pressure, as if something bad was going to happen as long as he lied.

He decided to believe in his feelings and told Su Tianbai about the cause and effect of the antecedents.

With Li Yi's telling, Su Tianbai's face continued to change, and finally turned into an iron face, and after Li Yi finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "This unscrupulous disciple, I have a premonition that I am going to die and will not come back to see me, I would rather entrust the inheritance to Wu Song, this group of wastes, it is really annoying me" Su Tianbai, who was scolding angrily, did not notice that cyan flames kept coming out of his seven orifices, which looked very terrifying, Li Yi took two steps back quietly, for fear of being occupied by this cyan flame.

"Master, Master, don't be angry, I think the reason why Senior Brother Gongsun didn't come back was because he was afraid of implicating the master, after all, the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful at that time. Chu Jiang persuaded Su Tianbai while also taking two steps back with Li Yi.

Su Tianbai calmed down a little after hearing Chu Jiang's words, and when he looked down and found that Chu Jiang and Li Yi were far away from him, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Why are you so far away from me?"

Li Yi didn't dare to reply, Chu Jiang laughed obscenely, "Hehe, Master, you were angry just now, and unconsciously released the pure spiritual fire, everyone else is bleeding from the Seven Tricks, Master, you are the Seven Tricks Flowing Fire, it looks weird and scary." ”

Su Tianbai glared at Chu Jiang when he heard this: "You are also a hundred years old, and you are still so hippie and smiling, what kind of body have you become." After reprimanding Chu Jiang, he didn't look at Chu Jiang's bitter face, turned his head to Li Yi and said: " I have a rule for the Pure Yang Guan to accept disciples, that is, formal disciples must go through the path of asking the heart, understand what their heart is to the Dao, only if the name of their own Dao heart is, will it be officially included in the door wall, if you just want to take revenge, I can now ask Chu Jiang to go with you and kill those Divine Ce Army, if you really want to cultivate the Tao and inherit Gongsun Sheng's peerless learning, then go to the path of asking the heart, if you can pass the path of asking the heart, I will accept you as my disciple of the fourth generation of the Purple Void Lineage, how do you want to record it in the name of Gongsun Sheng?"

"The disciple is willing to take the path of inquiry. Li Yi replied without a trace of hesitation, this is still a thought, the main task is to join the forces of the Immortal Dynasty or any of the nine major sects, now the opportunity to join the Pure Yang View is in front of you, it is a fool not to seize it, as for the matter of revenge, are you afraid that you will not have a chance after practicing martial arts in the future, thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Li Yi's eyes.

"That's very good, Chu Jiang, you take Li Yi down the mountain, and I will immediately open the path of inquiry. Su Tianbai heard Li Yi's categorical answer, a look of relief flashed on his face, and then his face was solemn, and he commanded Chu Jiang in a loud voice.

"This, Master, the sect selection conference has not yet begun, and it is not in accordance with the rules to open the path of conscience now. A hint of hesitation appeared on Chu Jiang's face.

"What nonsense, I am in charge of this sect selection conference, I said that if I open it in advance, I will open it in advance, and I will kick your ass if you don't leave. Su Tian rolled his eyes, said impatiently, and was about to kick.

"Don't, Master, Li Yi is still here, save me some face. "Master really did this, if he was kicked in front of Li Yi, then there would really be no face, Chu Jiang didn't dare to say much, he ran when he mentioned Li Yi, and with a "whoosh" sound, he had already run out more than ten zhang away, and in a flash, there was no longer a figure in the hall.

"This kid doesn't go to the house for a day. Su Tianbai shook his head, feeling speechless at Chu Jiang

Dividing line

After Chu Jiang arrived outside the hall, he put down the Li Yi he was carrying, took out the boat-like magic weapon from the storage bag again, threw it, and when the magic weapon became bigger, he pulled Li Yi and jumped up.

"Uncle Chu, I don't know what Master Su's cyan flame is?" After getting on the boat, Li Yi couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart anymore and asked Chu Jiang.

"The cyan flame of the master is called the pure spiritual fire, which has the effect of exercising the mind and suppressing the ghosts and gods of the outer way, and belongs to one of the thirty-six high-grade spiritual fires, and it is with this spiritual fire that the master ranks third among the second generation of disciples. Chu Jiang replied to Li Yi while manipulating the magic weapon.

"This, since it is effective for exercising the mind, why should Uncle Shi avoid it?" Hearing Chu Jiang's explanation, Li Yi was even more confused, according to Chu Jiang's statement, this fire is only good for Chu Jiang.

"Li Yi, you only know one and don't know the other, this pure spiritual fire is good, but there is a shortcoming, that is, the pain is unbearable, once it is stained with a little, it will hurt all day, speaking of which, among the six disciples of the master, only Senior Brother Gongsun can endure this kind of pain and use it to exercise his mind, so the master has poured the most effort into Senior Brother Gongsun, and wants to pass on the pure spiritual fire to Senior Brother Gongsun, who knows that after Senior Brother Gongsun went down the mountain, he didn't come back to see Master until he died, let's not talk about this, I feel uncomfortable when I talk about it, I still tell you about the way to ask my heart。 ”

"Uncle Shi, please speak. Li Yi was actually very curious about Gongsun Sheng, but Chu Jiang was obviously reluctant to talk about it, so he didn't ask much.

"The road of asking the heart is my pure yang patriarch after killing an extraterritorial demon with his corpse to practice, can amplify the ** of people's hearts, to pass from the road of conscience, you must understand your own heart, firm your own beliefs, not to be affected by your own state of mind, I have a book of exercises called "pure heart tips", is this auxiliary exercise, can be passed on to you, is it very effective for the restraint of distracting thoughts, is not there an ancient saying called 'grinding guns in battle, not fast and light', wait until you go down to the mountain you will seize the time to practice, see if you can get started before the road of asking the heart opens. Although Chu Jiang was very dissatisfied with Gongsun Sheng, he was very concerned about Li Yi.

There are free exercises to learn, and Li Yi naturally won't object, "Okay." ”

Chu Jiang took out a jade slip from the storage bag and handed it to Li Yi, "You can put the jade slip close to your forehead." ”

Li Yi took the jade slip, put the jade slip close to his forehead, and some information flashed in his mind, all of which were some mental formulas, a total of about 100 words, and after he wrote them all, he would return the jade slip to Chu Jiang.

"You can leave the jade slip, this jade slip is specially made, you can calm your mind, it is very helpful for you to cultivate the "Pure Heart Formula", it can be regarded as a meeting gift from me. ”

"Oh" Li Yi replied dumbfoundedly, took the jade slip into his arms, and only waited until he reached the bottom of the mountain to take it out to cultivate the Pure Heart Technique.

The speed of the ship-shaped magic weapon was very fast, and it didn't take long to reach the foot of the mountain, it was still the pavilion, it was still the four people, but the time was already at night, and the pavilion was lit with two green lights, emitting a warm light under the night sky.

"Uncle Chu, why did you come down again?" or the female disciple surnamed Yu asked, and after asking, she looked at Li Yi curiously, obviously curious about how Li Yi came down again after going up the mountain.

"I brought Li Yi to participate in the Conscience Road Trial, if it goes well, Li Yi will be your little junior brother. "The four people in the pavilion are all fourth-generation disciples, and Li Yi is also a fourth-generation disciple if he successfully passes the path of inquiry, and he is the latest among the four generations of disciples, so he is naturally a junior disciple.

"But Uncle Chu, isn't the path of conscience only opened during the sect selection conference, and there is still more than a month to go. Before the male disciple finished speaking, he heard the sound of "boom", and a rainbow-like blurred light was released on the mountain road behind him, illuminating the entire pavilion transparently, "This, this, this...... This is clearly a vision of the opening of the path of inquiry. Because he was so shocked, the male disciple stammered a little when he spoke.

"This Pure Yang Guan Sect Selection Conference started in advance, and the end time remains the same, anyone who can climb to the mountain gate within two months from the date of climbing the mountain can be a disciple of the Pure Yang Guan Outer Sect. This voice not only spread to the welcome pavilion, but also to Huayang Town, and even spread throughout the entire Central Plains Road.

Okay, Li Yi, do you want to cultivate the Pure Heart Technique first or climb the Heart Path first?" Chu Jiang asked Li Yi with a solemn face.

"I'll start with the path of inquiry. As soon as I came down the mountain to ask my heart, it was obvious that Shi Cheng was looking at himself in what way, as an elder, I was most unaccustomed to seeing the junior stealing and playing tricks, if I first practiced the Pure Heart Technique and then climbed the Asking Heart Road, it was easy to leave a bad impression, which was very detrimental to my future development in the sect, Chu Jiang, as a senior uncle, could not know this, then the purpose of him passing on the Pure Heart Recipe to me was probably to test me and see if I could resist the temptation, after Li Yi thought it clearly, he couldn't help but sigh, there is really no good thing in the world that falls from the sky.

"So, you go now, you can rest on the steps when you are tired, and you can reach the mountain gate within two months, I will wait for you at the mountain gate, and give you a piece of advice: you must pass the path of inquiry, only truth and sincerity, remember! Remember!" After speaking, he turned into red light and rose to the sky, and disappeared into the night sky in a blink of an eye.

"Senior Brother Li, go quickly, I'm sure you will be able to do it. "Because everyone who gets a letter of recommendation from the Pure Yang View is an outstanding person, several disciples of the Welcome Pavilion are very confident in Li Yi, and as soon as Chu Jiang disappears, he urges Li Yi to leave quickly.

After Li Yi thanked a few people, he raised his feet and stepped on the first step of the road of inquiry, so that everyone, including Su Tianbai, who was hiding in the dark to observe Li Yi, did not expect that as soon as Li Yi stepped on the steps, he bent his knees, landed his head on the ground, and kowtowed his head vigorously with a "bang", "Third Brother Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely worship the Pure Yang Temple." He stood up, walked to the second step, and made another "bang" and kowtowed to the second head, "Second Brother Li, don't worry, I will definitely worship the Pure Yang Temple." In this way, Li Yi will kowtow every time he walks a step, kowtow to everyone who has helped him, kowtow to every Huya villager who died in the hands of the Shence Army, step by step, when he walked to the five hundred steps, Li Yi's forehead was already a blur of flesh and blood, fainted, Su Tianbai who was hidden in the dark couldn't help it, after seeing Li Yi faint, he hurriedly ran out of the dark and cast a small spell on Li Yi's forehead, only to see a burst of rain fall on Li Yi's forehead, and after a while, the injury on Li Yi's forehead recovered as before。

When Li Yi woke up, it was already the early morning of the next day, he touched his forehead, and once again embarked on the road of inquiry, still kowtowing firmly, the road of inquiry, "bang" sound endlessly, on the fourth day, someone from behind rushed up, looking at Li Yi with strange eyes, that look is the same as looking at a fool, but so what, Li Yi is still the same.

In this way, day after day passed, and the time finally came to the last day of the two-month period, even if Su Tianbai was constantly treated, Li Yi's physical strength and will had reached the limit, but his Dao heart was so pure, so firm, that his eyes were emitting a bright light, this light was brighter than the light of the road of asking the heart under his feet, and it was even more dazzling, when he stepped on the last step of the road of asking the heart, when he saw the huge "pure yang" at the mountain gate When he saw Chu Jiang's familiar figure, he only had time to say "I did it" before he fainted, and the last picture before fainting Chu Jiang's figure rushing over.
