Chapter 38: The First Labyrinth

As Gu Meng announced the ownership of the champion, Qin Mo noticed that there seemed to be a change in the Wen Palace, and immediately checked it.

In the Wen Palace, a fresh breeze had just blown, and the other cyclones and stars were not abnormal, only the [One Heart and Two Purposes] had become much larger, but it was close to materialization.

After the fierce competition just now, [One Heart and Two Purposes] got a lot of exercise, and then upgraded from a primary cyclone to an intermediate cyclone.

In other words, he will be more handy in terms of [one heart and two purposes] in the future, and can calmly use calligraphy and chess, becoming a real two-way child.

Gu Meng noticed the change in him and was happy for him.

Zhang Wenqi's face was red, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and he came to Xiayi County from Nanjing Mansion, in addition to competing for the quota for new children to enter the Holy Tower to enlighten, but also to open the eyes of these guys in the county school who had never seen the world.

When arranging for him to transfer to another class, the elders considered that there was a double-class boy in Xiayi County, and in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, they suggested that he choose another county school, but he refused.

In his opinion, the opportunity to defeat the once-in-a-century double-armored child is not available at any time, so it must be firmly grasped.

Now he regrets it, not only did he fail to snatch back the place, but he also lost in the hands of Qin Mo twice in a row, not only losing his face, but also the face of the Zhang family.

Especially this time, in order to win, he made full preparations, depicting the long song of the sage Zigong, the ancient seal of the Han Dynasty that the family bought at a great price, he promised to win in front of the elders, and at this moment he didn't know how to explain to his family.

Qin Mo glanced at him, walked towards his classmates with a smile, and while humbly accepting everyone's congratulations, he said in a tone with deep meaning: "People from big families are really different from us, we look at face very important, resulting in many things that everyone dare not think about or do, and people are really open." ”

What this means is that Zhang Wenqi is shameless and takes the opportunity to satirize the so-called big family.

Gu Meng cleared his throat and said, "There will be no class today, everyone will review what they have talked about before, carefully recall the situation that occurred in the game, summarize the lessons and lessons, and strive not to make the same mistake next time." Ziyi, come with me. ”

Qin Mo left with Gu Meng and learned a lot of knowledge related to the enlightenment of the Holy Land.

The so-called holy place is actually the world in the sacred stone of the inscription.

According to legend, the Wenwei Holy Stone is a colorful divine stone refined by Nuwa back then, which was used to mend the sky, and finally a surplus piece was left in place, it absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, and after thousands of years of cultivation, it became a holy stone.

There are three places of enlightenment in the Wenwei Holy Stone, namely the Wendao Holy Tower, the Wendao Holy Pond and the Wendao Holy Mountain, and the Wendao Holy Stone will open the door to enlightenment at a fixed time every year, because the number of people who can withstand it each time is limited, and only those with the best qualifications can get the opportunity to enter the cultivation.

The place of enlightenment of the child is the Wendao Holy Tower, also known as the three-star tower, the finished glyph is located, the first tower is called the Star Tower, six floors high, the second tower is called the Qixing Tower, nine floors high, the third tower is the main tower, the name is the Star Tower, twelve floors high.

Three days later was the day when the Gate of Enlightenment opened, and Qin Mo seized the remaining time to cultivate, striving to achieve good results in the first time entering the tower.

......

On March 12, the spring breeze was pleasant.

Qin Mo, as the new representative of the calligraphy branch, came to the open space located on the mountainside of the Yunfeng Peak with the others, which was the place where the door to enlightenment was opened.

This enlightenment is only for children, and there are a total of twenty people in the four branches, all of whom are the best in the county school.

After the students arrived, Xuezheng He Chang came belatedly, accompanied by the prison supervisor and the judge.

He Chang swept everyone's faces with his gaze and said with a smile: "You are all the elite talents of this academy, and you can obtain the honor of enlightenment, remember to seize the opportunity and not waste the hard-won opportunity." ”

"Students keep in mind the teachings of the Masei-sama. The students responded in unison.

He Chang nodded with satisfaction, the hospital supervisor took out a small mahogany box, the court judge reached out to open the lid of the box, He Chang took out the official seal of Xuezheng from it, and held it high in his right hand.

With the continuous input of Wenli, the official seal emitted a colorful light, and then formed a slightly illusory gate not far away.

This is a portal that can send people to the location of the Samsung Tower.

"Enter the door in the order of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and keep order. He Chang said in a deep voice.

The students bowed to him and entered the door one by one.

After the four old boys from the Shudao branch entered, Qin Mo walked towards the portal unhurriedly, and He Chang nodded at him as an encouragement.

As soon as Qin Mo stepped into the gate, the scene in front of him became illusory, and then there was a white light that flew backwards quickly, and the sound of the whistling wind sounded in his ears.

He involuntarily closed his eyes, and after a few breaths, the wind gradually became quieter, and he opened them again.

As his vision gradually recovered, he saw the vast desert as far as the eye could see, the golden sand dunes undulating like waves, the breeze blowing, mixed with the sand particles hitting people's faces, and the air carried a dry heat.

"Is this the Samsung Tower?"

A voice with an excited tone sounded behind him, and he turned his head, completely stunned by the sight before him.

Not far in front, there are three tall towers, the lowest starry tower is dozens of meters high, and the three towers are separated by dozens of feet, which is extremely abrupt in the endless desert.

Qin Mo noticed that there were more and more people around him, in addition to Xiayi County, the Wendao Academies of other prefectures and counties were also sending Tong Sheng over today, with a total of about 20,000 people.

Acquaintances from different literary institutes greeted each other, and then marched towards the Samsung Tower.

Qin Mo followed the crowd and overheard someone asking, "It's strange, why didn't you see Wen Qi when you saw the people from the Xiayi County Academy just now?"

"yes, I think it's weird too. ”

Obviously, these people from the Zhang family of Nanjing Mansion proved from the content of their conversation that after Zhang Wenqi was defeated, he had no face to tell the elders about it, so that the children of the Zhang family thought that he had won the quota.

Someone next to him said, "You guys, do you know what is most important in the process of enlightenment?"

"This is the first time we have come, please make it clear to my brother, I am grateful. Those who participated in enlightenment for the first time looked at each other with burning eyes.

The old boy was full of pride, and said solemnly: "In the end, what you want is to kill decisively! For example, if you encounter a fierce beast in the Holy Tower, remember that this is the test of the scribe by the Holy Stone of the Throne, and you must kill it with the most drastic means, and those who have the benevolence of a woman will not go far." ”

Several new children hugged their fists together and said, "Thank you seniors for reminding us."

Qin Mo frowned slightly, this person's point of view was completely different from Gu Meng, Gu Meng said that after entering the Holy Tower, no matter what happened, he had to keep a normal mind, and there was no need to force everything.

This is, there are people next to him who put forward the point of view of "killing decisively", and they swear by it, which does not look like a lie.

He was suspicious, who should he listen to?

It was certain that Gu Meng would not lie to him, but when Gu Meng first entered the Star Tower, he only went up to the fourth floor, so he couldn't be fully trusted.

Unconsciously, he walked with the team to the middle of the Samsung Tower, the stone brick floor was carved with complex patterns, not to mention the unusually smooth, there was not even a grain of sand in the patterns.

Some of the old children went directly to the Star Tower, and more people went to the Star Tower.

Those who have cleared the Star Tower can enter the Star Tower, and those who pass through the ninth floor of the Star Tower can enter the Star Tower, which is an eternal rule.

Many people have not been able to clear the three towers in their lives, even Su Sansheng, the most famous big man in this dynasty, only completed the clearance of the Star Picking Tower after taking the Jinshi examination.

Many of the children in front of me came here for the fourth and fifth time, and they only completed the clearance of the Star Tower, and even more failed to pass the test after breaking the halberd and sinking in the sand more than three times on a certain layer.

The new Tongsheng can only choose the Starry Tower, Qin Mo enters from the north gate with the crowd, and the old Tongsheng chooses the south gate, and can directly enter the floor that failed to pass last time, without having to go through the previous floor again.

Because the situation in the Samsung Tower is constantly changing, everyone encounters different situations, and there are no tricks and so-called strategies.

Walking through the gate, there is a gray stone carved shadow wall in front of you, the pattern is not complicated, it is a star map, and some galaxies are connected together in straight lines, such as the Big Dipper.

Everyone didn't think that there was anything special about the shadow wall, so that no one stopped except Qin Mo.

Qin Mo observed carefully and found that the galaxies on the map were exactly the same as the star maps he knew, which meant that the place where he was located was not only parallel to the earth, but completely parallel to the previous world.

A moment later, he stepped forward, this time behind the others.

Circumventing the Shadow Wall, a labyrinth appears in front of you, and the floor and walls are made of the same material as the Shadow Wall.

Looking up, the sky is dark and starry, and it is no different from the night sky in everyone's impression.

In everyone's impression, the Star Tower is not big, and the area of the first floor is only a few hundred square meters, but after coming in, I found that the space inside is much larger than what I see from the outside.

The labyrinth was more than two miles long and wide, and the distance between the walls was no more than five or six feet, which meant that it was divided into hundreds of passages of the same width, and there were dozens of entrances alone, and it was not easy to find the exit.

And the most basic requirement for clearing the level is to find a way out of the maze, rather than being trapped inside.

Crash!

There was a strange sound in the sky, and everyone looked up in unison to see a huge crystal glass hourglass suspended in the air, in the shape of a gourd, and yellow fine sand flowing down from above.

The well-informed exclaimed, "This is the hourglass of time! That is to say, we have an hour, and if we cannot find the exit within this time, even if we fail the test, we will be sent directly back to the outside of the tower." ”

With such a large labyrinth, an hour is too short.

Many people can't help but feel anxious and choose to enter the maze one after another.

In a few moments, there was the sound of a flap and the screams of a man who had fallen into the trap.

Qin Mo followed the direction from which the voice came from, and saw several frightened people surrounding a trap with a diameter of three feet, one of them pointed to the black whirring trap and said, "The person who fell in just now is gone, and it is estimated that he has been sent out of the tower." ”

This is just the beginning, and some people have finished their journey to enlightenment, and it seems that it is not easy to pass the test.

Everyone looked frightened, Qin Mo's expression was calm, and he walked around the trap and walked forward.
