When Zhong Peng stepped onto the steps leading to the fifth floor, a breeze suddenly blew behind him, blowing his clothes up.

This gust of wind seemed to blow away the killing aura here just now, Zhong Peng felt extremely refreshed, but he didn't stop to look back, his goal was always above.

Going up to the fifth floor, it is no longer as empty as the floors below, it looks like a living room.

The hall is very simple, just two rows of chairs for guests to sit, and a teacup is placed on the coffee table next to one chair, it seems that the owner of this place is very hospitable, and someone will come to sit here at any time.

But now it is empty, and looking at the steps ahead, there are two incense burners under the two pillars carved with golden dragons on the left and right, and wisps of green smoke are rising.

The green smoke melts into the air, and the fragrance spreads throughout the hall, which makes people feel refreshed and peaceful, and also makes this simple hall dignified and atmospheric.

Then there was a bead curtain blocking Zhong Peng's view, adding a bit of mystery to it, and Zhong Peng slowly walked towards it.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to come to the fifth floor so soon, and what made me even more unexpected was that I was still such a young man. From behind the bead curtain came a peaceful sound of praise, Zhong Peng stopped, and stood there quietly without making a sound.

"You can come here, it means that those guys down there are not holding the pass. Unexpectedly, even the giant ape below that is aggressive and infinitely powerful and does not look at people squarely has not been able to leave your footsteps. ”

"In this way, young man, you are really a great person, and there must be something outstanding. It's my fate to be able to get acquainted with Childe, is Childe interested in drinking a pot of tea with the old man?"

The beaded curtain slowly parted to the sides, and a gray-haired man sat on the ground, and in front of him was a coffee table, he had been busy, and a kettle was boiling beside him.

He didn't even look at Zhong Peng, he had been doing his own thing, washing the cup, washing the tea, putting the tea leaves into the cup and pouring water in, washing it again and pouring in the water again, and then stopped.

"Childe, come, please take a seat!" the old man looked up at Zhong Peng with a smile and invited him to sit opposite him.

The man looked a little old, but his eyes were so deep that he seemed to be able to see through all that time had to offer.

Zhong Peng was not polite, strode over and sat down opposite the old man safely, looking at the teacup on the coffee table, Zhong Peng swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The tea in the cup is steaming, red and like fire, and the tea leaves are gradually blooming in it, as if life is in rhythm.

The old man picked up the teacup, invited Zhong Peng to join him, and then took a sip gently, Zhong Peng picked up the teacup and did the same, good tea needs to be tasted carefully.

Zhong Peng smacked his lips and praised, "Good tea!" and then took another sip, his eyes looked at the old man from time to time, he was not worried about anything strange in the tea.

"I am a half-born fool, and those who see it ask and have a heart!You can call me the one who asks!" As if he knew Zhong Peng's question, the old man picked up the kettle and filled Zhong Peng's cup with water and said.

"Haha, when you see you, you will ask your heart and body! Zhong Peng laughed loudly and continued: "People have questions, and they ask what they want to know, but they are just to get an answer and compare with their own hearts, as for whether they are right or wrong, it all depends on their own hearts, so what's the point of asking?"

"For example, if you ask for directions, all roads can reach your destination, and some people like to enjoy the scenery along the way and choose mountain trails, but you are looking for the fastest arrival, so isn't it easy to go against what you want?"

Questioner: "Childe is right, but asking can make you not confused, and you have a choice, although there will be twists and turns, at least the direction is right." If you don't ask questions in life, how can you get ahead?"

The two were silent for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled. It is undeniable that they each have their own opinions, and their views may be recognized by the other.

In fact, both of them knew what the other party meant, Zhong Peng wanted to say: This fifth level is another inquiry, and no matter how he answers, he can clear the sixth layer, so it is better to let himself go up directly.

But the questioner's words said: Zhong Peng's understanding is right, no matter how he answers, he will let him pass, but as the gatekeeper of the fifth layer, he must complete his mission no matter what, otherwise he will be bored here.

"In that case, if the old gentleman has any questions, please say it!" Zhong Peng put down the teacup in his hand and said.

"Hehe, are you in such a hurry, aren't you going to have a drink?" The questioner looked at Zhong Peng, Zhong Peng was silent, and the questioner poured a glass of water for him again.

The questioner asked: "There are thousands of paths in life, tea has a tea ceremony, people have humanity, demons have demons, warriors have martial arts, and businessmen have business...... So what is the Tao, and where is the supreme Tao?"

Zhong Peng thought about this question for a long time, this question seems to be ordinary but contains many things, what is Tao, what is Tao?

Why do some people choose to be warriors, and some choose to be businessmen, they are all for each to get what they need, and each according to their preferences.

However, where is the supremacy of the Dao? Is the highest realm of the martial artist really only the realm of the Divine Yuan? Then why is there a Heavenly Governor's Mansion above the supreme existence of the three kings of Tianluo? Why is the Lord of Tianluo, Tianluo, who can easily destroy the world, but still be limited by the shackles of heaven and earth? Is the Dao really supreme?

"Childe...... Childe!" the questioner's hand shook twice in front of Zhong Peng's eyes, Zhong Peng was now thinking about the questioner's question wholeheartedly, if the questioner had any thoughts at this time, Zhong Peng would be in danger.

Zhong Peng woke up from his immersion, looked at the questioner firmly, and said seriously: "What is the Tao, in my opinion, the Tao is the direction of the heart, the heart of people. ”

The questioner: "Oh, what is the way of the childe, and what is the supreme?"

Zhong Peng: "There are thousands of my Tao, and there is no supreme Tao, there is no end to the Tao, only to constantly transcend, to explore, the strong because of self-improvement." ”

"There is no end to learning, and we are brave enough to climb new heights. Keep moving forward in the direction of your own heart, and when you reach the so-called supreme, you can naturally follow higher!

The teacup that the questioner was playing with was also put down, and his deep eyes stared at Zhong Peng, as if he wanted to see through the young man in front of him, Zhong Peng did not avoid it at all.

"Okay, very good, learn endlessly, climb the peak!" After a while, the questioner nodded and said, "Childe, you can go up and pass the test!"

Where Zhong Peng came up, there were steps up the stairs again, Zhong Peng stood up and walked there.

"There is no end to my road, old man, thank you for the tea, this tea is very fragrant and pure!" Zhong Peng took two steps, turned around and looked at the questioner and smiled.

The questioner's question can be regarded as setting the direction in Zhong Peng's heart, something he had never considered before, and his state of mind became more open at this moment.

If before that, his state of mind was a pond, now he is an ocean.

Zhong Peng's Yuan Energy in his body also skyrocketed again as he walked, and when he walked upstairs, the Yuan Energy in his body also returned to calm.

"Diyuan Liupin!" broke through again.

"Giggles, the elves have been waiting for the intruder here for a long time!" Zhong Peng had just stepped into the sixth floor when a voice came to his ear.

Zhong Peng looked at the source of the sound, and saw a child standing there, his whole body was silver-white, his hair was white, even his eyes were white, his back was full of white wings, and he was holding a small white staff in his hand.

"Wait for me, think about it, are you so eager to fight with me?" Zhong Peng said as he looked at the harmless little guy in front of him.

"No, no, no, you're wrong, it's a reckless man to use knives and guns, and we elves don't want to fight with others! We yearn for peace!" the elf shook his hand vigorously.

"You are a passer, after all, this level is my master, you can only pass my test to clear the level, otherwise even if you kill me, you will not be able to go to the seventh layer." ”

"Elf clan?" Zhong Peng exclaimed when he heard his words, is there such a clan in Tianluo Continent, how come it has never been recorded? But he didn't think too much, Tianluo also said that there are many races in Tianluo Continent.

"Oh, in that case, how do you want to test?" Zhong Peng asked.

"Well, our elves belong to the spirit of mind, and they are the best at psychic attacks, as long as you can get out of my blurred illusion, you can pass the level. The elf thought for a moment and said.

"Mind attack, okay, let's start then!" Zhong Peng nodded.

The elf raised his small white staff in the air, and a black hole appeared in front of Zhong Peng for only one person to enter, and from the outside, he couldn't see what was inside.

The elf warned: "You just need to enter from here and come out of here within half a pillar of incense, but I can warn you, if you don't come out after the time passes, you can only stay in the Blurred Illusion forever, you think carefully, don't be too forced!"

"Hahaha, don't think about it, since it's a test, you have to go on a walk!" Zhong Peng walked straight in without the slightest hesitation.

When Zhong Peng entered, the elf's eyes were also closed, and his two wings kept flapping, and a crystal white light appeared from above, and his body also floated in the air.

Zhong Peng found that there was finally a light in front of him, Zhong Peng walked towards the light, but he changed out in an instant.

This is a huge grassland, exactly the same scenery as the first time he went to the top of the tower, Zhong Peng slowly walked forward.

Soon he entered another place, where there was a burst of roaring voices of primal beasts, and the voices were getting closer and closer to Zhong Peng's side, and he had already entered the tide of primordial beasts.

Zhong Peng only had one idea now, and he ran quickly, but he was surrounded by all kinds of Yuan Beasts in all directions.

"Everything here is an illusion, and you can't get entangled with it. Zhong Peng thought, and then rushed out desperately, he has always believed that the sky has an end, as long as he runs in one direction, he will always break through this illusion.

All the attacks of the Yuan Beast seemed ferocious, but none of them really touched Zhong Peng, and Zhong Peng rushed with all his might.

Zhong Peng ran out of the Yuan Beast Tide, and a mountain appeared in front of him, this mountain was endless, and Zhong Peng had to turn over if he wanted to move forward.

This mountain is not lush, but white as a whole, and all the trees are made of blades, a mountain of knives in the true sense of the word.

Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front, I am unswerving, even so I have not been able to stop Zhong Peng's pace of progress, and I have not shaken his psychology. The knives of Daoshan disappeared everywhere Zhong Peng passed.

What turned to it was really a sea of fire, but as soon as Zhong Peng ran over, the flames would drop sharply and turn into green smoke.

The elf's brows furrowed outside, and he opened his eyes and said in surprise: "What a fast speed, it's about to come out so soon, is his mind so detached?"

Zhong Peng climbed over the wall and crossed the mountains and crossed the river and the sea, and the sweat dripping on his forehead had already soaked his clothes, but he still did not stop.

Finally, his body touched a hard barrier: "Presumably this is the exit of the Blurry Illusion!" Zhong Peng didn't hesitate, and took out the light cloud, wanting to split this barrier.

Zhong Peng was about to attack, the barrier disappeared, and he returned to the sixth layer, Zhong Peng looked at all this, and then looked at the elf.

Zhong Peng half-bent his body and exhaled heavily, but what Zhong Peng didn't expect was that the elf was also sweating like rain and exhausted.

"You are amazing, you can break through the mysterious illusion of my elf clan in such a short time, you have passed the level, you can rest for a while and then go up. ”

After a short rest, their faces improved, and the elf announced that Zhong Peng had passed the level: this interlocutor was too strong, and he was not afraid of mental attacks at all.
