When Lin Yi woke up again, he saw endless white mist next to him, and there was a golden light on his head, which seemed to be his spiritual world.

"What the hell was all that before!"

Lin Yi thought about everything blankly, so real but not like himself, what the hell is this!

A golden light flew in front of Lin Yi and turned into a strange old man.

"It seems that you have passed the third level of cultivation, Lin Yi. ”

"What the hell was all that before!Tell me the strange old man!" Lin Yi looked at the strange old man frantically, he grabbed the strange old man's clothes and yelled.

The strange old man shook his head: "I don't know what happened to you before, but I can tell you that what happened to you before is real, but it is just that you possessed someone else." ”

"Attached, possessed?" Lin Yi looked at the strange old man blankly.

"Yes, this level is for you to possess someone else, to feel their feelings, and it is a hellish feeling. ”

"So, everything before that was real? did they really happen?" Lin Yi panicked.

"I've already said that they are real! The strange old man said lightly.

Lin Yi slowly put down his hand, if everything before was real, and he was just possessed by others, then the beggar, the young master, the little girl and Wang Ming all existed, and he had already felt their despair and pain.

"Well, to make you feel these is nothing more than to give you pain, these are human emotions, you have to get used to them. ”

Lin Yi changed instantly after hearing these two words, he never thought of getting used to this feeling, his anger reached the highest point, he grabbed the strange old man and shouted directly: "How can I get used to it? The first time I was almost brutalized to death by a rich heir, and then I was bitten off the flesh under my feet by a black dog and fainted, and the second time a little girl died blocking the sword in front of me, and then eating the meat of her own family and being beheaded by others, do you want me to get used to it?"

The strange old man looked at Lin Yi lightly, obviously he had received a huge stimulus, which he never expected, when he saw that Lin Yi could look at the sky for three hours without moving, he thought that Lin Yi could put down a lot of things, obviously still no, and Lin Yi was still like a child, his tears flowed out so resolutely, because he felt so heavy pain.

The strange old man sighed and turned into a golden light and left, while Lin Yi coaxed him to stay, but the strange old man had no intention of turning back.

"Lin Yi, you are really too young to withstand this kind of test, but this is also a normal phenomenon, not many young people can accept this kind of pain, or only people like me who look down on life and death can do it. ”

Lin Yi woke up slowly, he knew that it was no longer a trial, and he burst into tears.

Those pains, those inhuman practices changed Lin Yi's concept, what is a human being, what is a human being? He kept asking himself.

The rain fell, hitting Lin Yi's side with a bang, he was already wet, and in this rain, he had fallen asleep.

When he woke up the next day, Lin Yi found the strange old man, his eyes full of sadness.

The strange old man sighed: "Perhaps, the third trial is too cruel for you, but you better not take it to heart"

"How can you not take this kind of thing to heart, what is a human being? Why can you trample on other people's lives at will, why can you destroy the will of others so much, why is this?" Lin Yi looked at the strange old man sadly.

The strange old man couldn't say a word, because he had never thought about these things, or he couldn't give an answer, after all, this kind of thing happened so suddenly, even he didn't know what Lin Yi saw.

"I, I've been looking at the world with good intentions, and that's why I met Yuan, and you, but it doesn't seem right, I don't know enough about how dark this world is, and I already know the meaning of my existence. ”

The strange old man looked at Lin Yi and didn't know what to say, but since what had already happened, he shouldn't say it anymore, or maybe this was the right thing, after all, he had already let Lin Yi know the meaning of his existence.

"Okay, now that you have passed the third trial, then you can leave and go to the Ancient Sect now, you have to be careful in the past, and cultivate diligently to become a strong one. ”

Lin Yi looked at the strange old man lightly, and suddenly he knelt down, bowed three times, and got up.

"Strange old man, thank you for saving your life and teaching me, I, Lin Yi, will not disgrace you. "Turn and leave.

The strange old man looked at Lin Yi's back, and couldn't help but feel sad, this young man knew that he was very kind from the time he saved him, his eyes were so pure, and before that, he cried because of the pain of others, on the surface, he was cold, but in fact, he was still innocent, there are few people like this.

After watching Lin Yi leave, the strange old man looked up at the blue sky, learning from Lin Yi to empty himself and stop thinking about anything.

Lin Yi left the strange old man's accommodation, he walked to the place of the ancient sect, and he encountered a lot of troubles along the way, such as the previous wolf, as well as the giant rabbit, the sheep's head monster, etc., he tried his best not to kill them, after all, as long as it was not a creature that endangered his life, Lin Yi was unwilling to kill it, every life has a meaning for his existence, which was comprehended in the third cultivation place of the strange old man.

Lin Yi walked from the wild to a city to rest inside, which was the only way to the ancient sect.

Lin Yi chose the guest room and casually called Xiao Er over: "Do you know the Ancient Sect?"

Xiao Er looked at the young man in front of him who was less than eighteen and said, "This little brother must be going to become a disciple of the Ancient Sect, right?"

"Hmm"

"That little brother is looking for the right person, Guzong is in the direction of due north, but there are two ways to Guzong, one is a long road, there is no danger, and the other is a short road, where there are tigers, bandits, and an unknown road, it is said that there is no return to go there. ”

Lin Yi looked at him lightly, thinking in his heart whether he wanted to take the big road, after all, now was the time when there was no need to take risks, and reaching the Ancient Sect safely was the most important thing.

"But little brother, I'm afraid it won't be long before the time for the ancient sect to accept new disciples, there are still ten days, and the general road has to walk for fifteen days, if you rush overnight, little brother, it should be okay. ”

"What?New disciple time?" Lin Yi said in surprise.

"That's right, every year the ancient sect will admit new disciples, all of which are set in the middle of each year, that is, now, if it is outdated, then it will have to be done in the next year, why doesn't the little brother even know this?" Xiao Er wondered.

Indeed, Lin Yi didn't know that there was such a thing, he knew too little about the outside world, and the strange old man hadn't said this at all, so it seemed that he had to take a shortcut.

"May I ask my brother, how many days does it usually take to walk the path?"

"I'm afraid I can't say for sure, because very few people can do it, and the people who do it basically don't know each other, and they don't show off themselves, so I don't understand. "Xiao Erdao.

Lin Yi scratched his chin, it seems that he really has to take the path, this is no way.

While Lin Yi was thinking about it, Xiao Er also knew that there should be nothing to do with him and left quietly.

Lin Yi entered his guest room to rest, and it seemed that the road to the Ancient Sect was going to have another twist and turn. But if you think about it, the strange old man let himself practice in his deep cave maybe it was to take this shortcut, which should be in the imagination of the strange old man.

Indeed, the strange old man calculated the time, he knew the rules of the ancient sect to accept disciples, not only to arrive at the ancient sect on time, but also to pass three exams, and these three exams are a dish for the current Lin Yi, but the real test on this road is through this short road, which has a lost forest in it.
