The rain is thick and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

Shen Huan and Yi Yan have been walking along the winding path in the forest on the fourth layer of this Hundred Demon Road for a long time, and the scenery is beautiful, but they have not found any tests on this layer for a long time. The test of the Hundred Demon Road will not be boring enough to test their ability to walk on foot.

Rounding a small hill again, Shenhuan and the others finally found a change in this monotonous forest.

I saw a small pavilion behind the hill, and a man standing in the pavilion was looking down at the land outside the pavilion. Behind him stood a boy looking at the kettle on the nearby stove.

Shenhuan and Gardenia winked at each other and walked forward. I saw that the man looking down at the ground had a childish face, his eyebrows were covered with gold threads, and he was wearing a golden brocade robe embroidered with pictures of a hundred beasts.

"Excuse me......"

"Shhhhhh The owner is angry, it's terrible. ”

"Fishing?" Shen Huan and Gardenia were stunned.

Around this pavilion, there is not even a drop of water, let alone fish, how can you enjoy fish?

Shenhuan and Gardenia didn't dare to move, and the person who bowed down was restrained, and neither Shenhuan nor Gardenia could see his level of anger, which could only mean that there was too much gap between the two sides. Both Shenhuan and Gardenia faintly guessed in their hearts that this person, no, this demon, was the guardian of this layer - one of the strongest hundred first-generation demons of the demon clan!

Time passes, and there is no change of light and night in different spaces, making it difficult to calculate time. After about half a day, the man was still staring at the ground motionless.

Shenhuan began to be a little impatient, if it weren't for the big gap in strength, Shenhuan would have the urge to do it. And Gardenia, who had been waiting, suddenly stepped forward, stood beside the man, and looked at the ground together.

"What an ordinary fish. After a while, Gardenia said.

The man ignored Gardenia, still staring intently at the ground.

"Go, go!" Gardenia waved in front of her.

"What are you doing?" the Guardian finally spoke.

"You're watching the fish, and I'm going to catch the fish, so you don't have any fish to see. Besides, why should such an ordinary fish be looked at so carefully. Gardenia explained.

"Little girl, what do you know! You say this fish is ordinary, so tell me, what does this fish look like?"

"This fish is the size of an average fish, the average age of the fish, and the shape of the average fish. You say, it's not ordinary, what is it?"

"Hahahaha!" the Guardian turned his anger to joy and laughed out loud, "What a clever little girl!

Gardenia and Shenhuan take their seats at a stone table in the pavilion. Only then did Shen Huan ask again: "Excuse me, are you the guardian of this layer?"

"Exactly. The demon nodded and smiled.

"So, what is the test at this level?" this is the question that Shen Huan is most concerned about at the moment.

"The first test, this clever little girl has just passed. The guardian's gaze returned to Gardenia, "No wonder Old Man Hua would rather break the rules than help you pass through the third layer, it's really extraordinary." ”

Gardenia smiled slightly and didn't speak.

And the second test...... It's easy to say, but it's hard to say. Three questions, I'll ask you two questions first, and then ask me one question after you answer correctly, and the question you ask me must be related to the question I asked you before. If I can't answer, you pass. ”

Shenhuan listened to this tongue twister-like question and felt a little headache. However, Gardenia seemed to have an understanding, bowed her head and pondered.

"First question, little girl, why are you here?" the Guardian smiled, grimacing.

"For the sake of the Ancestral Demon Order. Gardenia replied without thinking.

"Wrong. Again, why are you here?"

"For my fate. Gardenia changed her answer.

"Wrong. Again, why are you here?"

Gardenia only noticed this time that the Guardian was asking, not "coming" here, but "in" here.

After thinking for a moment, Gardenia replied solemnly: "Because of my decision to transform into a spirit, because of the fate of the demon clan for ten thousand years, I must come here, so, I am here." ”

The Guardian's serious face remained unchanged, and he asked Shen Huan again, "Second question, human, why are you here?"

Shenhuan, who was confused on the sidelines, suddenly missed Zhuo Qing very much, maybe Zhuo Qing, who prides himself on being wise and erudite, will definitely be able to give a beautiful answer to this question.

After some hesitation, Shen Huan replied, "Because I'm here, I'm here." ”

"Hahahaha!" the Guardian laughed again, "I can't see it, the kid has a good understanding." Wonderful!

Shen Huan was dumbfounded, thinking, "Is this okay? I just said it casually because I couldn't think of an answer......

"Now, it's your turn to ask me, mind you, you only have one chance. If your question does not meet the requirements or is answered by me, then you will be deprived of your life in this hundred demon paths!" Although the guardian had a smiling face, the chill in the last sentence was extremely clear!

One chance, one question, but the fate and lives of two people are involved!

The constraints related to the questions asked by the Guardian and not being able to be answered by the Guardian are harsh. Shen Huan knew that he was not good at such things, and set his eyes on Gardenia.

Feeling Shenhuan's gaze, Gardenia Yan also looked at Shenhuan, the moment their eyes intersected, Gardenia Yan smiled, the flowers were discolored, the show mouth was slightly open, and thousands of birds were silent.

"This time, have you decided to believe me?"

"Yes. Shenhuan nodded.

Gardenia's smile became even brighter, making the guardians a little dizzy, but Shenhuan didn't feel the slightest feeling.

"Excuse me, senior. Gardenia spoke, "Here, where is it?"

"Hahahaha!" the Guardian laughed and stood up, shouting three times in a row, "That's great! ”

"Phew!", "Phew!", "Phew!", ...... Dozens of disrespectful voices came from the sky one after another.

"Senior, then how do we get to the fifth floor?" Successfully passing the fourth floor, Gardenia was also very happy, in fact, before asking that question, she was not completely sure in her heart.

"Now, you're on the fifth floor. As soon as the Guardian's words fell, everything around him shattered like a mirror, and in its place, endless ink landscapes!

"This year's rotating guard on the fifth floor is Old Man Mo, here is Old Man Mo's ink landscape, which is an endless mirage maze array. However, considering your strength, Old Man Mo will definitely leave a way for you to survive. If you can find the only way out, you will be able to pass through the fifth level. The guardian of the fourth layer seemed to be in a very good mood, and instead of leaving, he explained to the two of them.

Seeing the real and illusory ink landscape in front of him, Shen Huan remembered one thing, which was the three thousand simulacrums handed over to Zhuo Qing for safekeeping. The effect of that treasure seems to be the same as that of the ink landscape in front of you.

"By the way, do you have any research on the Phantom Array?" the Guardian asked the two Shenhuan enthusiastically.

Both shook their heads at the same time. If Shen Huan's own half-hung phantom array level was said at this time, it would have no effect except for embarrassment. In the demon clan, the knowledge about the phantom array is the unpopular among the unpopular, and Gardenia naturally has little research on the unpopular technique of the phantom array.

"That's it......" The guardian frowned, and then with a wave of his hand, the fifth layer of ink landscape was instantly forcibly broken by a huge force!

Both Shenhuan and Gardenia were dumbfounded by this unexpected change.

"Old Man Jin, you!" came the voice of the fifth-layer guardian Old Man Mo angrily in the sky, "Old Man Jin, you break the rules! As one of the eight arbiters of the Ancestral Demon Palace, you actually took the lead in breaking the rules!" You will receive the most severe punishment from the Ancestral Demon Palace!"

"Haha! Old man Mo, you are discouraged. Letting two young people who have never studied the phantom array break into your ink landscape is no different from sending them to death. It's said that it's a test, of course, you have to give a way to live. Old man Mo, you say yes, rules, some people obey them, some people break them, this is the way of nature. As for the punishment, haha, just let it come, I also want to try what the punishment of the Ancestral Demon Hall is like. Old man Jin smiled, his words were full of open-mindedness, "I'll send them to the sixth layer now, old man, be merciful." ”

"Hmph!" A cold snort seemed to come from the old man of the sixth layer, the guardian of the sixth layer.

"Thank you, seniors. From the conversation between the guardians just now, Yi Yan could probably guess the fate that Old Man Jin was about to face after helping him and Shenhuan so much, and her heart felt a little heavier. This heaviness is partly because of the fear of the punishment that Old Man Jin will face, and half because of the faint meaning of surrender between Old Man Jin's words.

"Thank you, seniors. "Shen Huan admires and respects this predecessor of the demon clan from the bottom of his heart at this moment, before this, Shen Huan never thought that the demon clan, which is notorious among human beings, has such a character.

Since coming to the Demon Song Forest, the Tiger Roar, Bear Fury, Shun Ying and Gardenia that Shen Huan has come into contact with have gradually changed Shen Huan's opinion of the Demon Clan. And the guardian of the fourth layer of the Hundred Demon Road, Old Man Jin, who is known as one of the strongest hundred first-generation demons of the Demon Clan, has completely changed Shenhuan's understanding of the Demon Clan.

From this moment on, Shenhuan truly agreed, and demons may not be different from humans.

"Boy, let me open my eyes before I accept punishment. Old man Jin had something to say, and he glanced at Shenhuan meaningfully. Then he disappeared in place, returning to the place where all the guardians of the Hundred Demon Road were gathered, and receiving the worship and spittle of the other guardians......

And the last power left by Old Man Jin before leaving, held up Shenhuan and Gardenia, and slowly sent them to the sixth layer of the Hundred Demon Road!

When he rose into the air, Shen Huan's usual flat voice came into Gardenia's ears: "Next, lend me Gangqi and fight side by side...... Partner. ”

Gardenia was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at Shenhuan's still cold side face, and smiled like a flower.
