"You're going to help me test my words?" Li Xiu looked at the eighth master with some surprise.

"Measuring good fortune and bad luck may help you." The eighth master said.

Li Xiu thought for a while and said, "Even if you measure accurately, I know the bad result, I will only be in a bad mood, and I won't change anything." If the result is good, knowing in advance will be less of a surprise, so I don't have to test it. ”

The eighth master smiled: "You think too highly of me, I don't have the ability to predict the future, just speculate on the possible problems, just test it." ”

Li Xiu thought about it, pulled out the bamboo pole and wrote the word "spirit" on the ground, which was the word written by the hostess here to Changshengtian at the beginning.

Li Xiu didn't really want to hear the blessings and misfortunes, but wanted to know what the eighth master would say.

He must know more than this about the situation of the red and blue wooden houses, so it is not so much that it is the word test, but that the eighth master may tell him some things about the red and blue wooden houses through the word test.

The words that the eighth master said just now also seemed to be vaguely telling Li Xiu this meaning.

The eighth master stood inside the door, looked carefully at the spiritual characters written by Li Xiu, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "I'm afraid that your trip will be dangerous, at worst there will be worries about life, and at worst there will be the risk of serious illness." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Xiu asked.

"The spirit word goes up the mountain and the fire goes down, the mountain word falls, the fire comes out from the mountain, the landslide cracks and the volcano erupts, what a dangerous situation this is, and there must be great worries in life. The spirit word you wrote is a simplified Chinese character, and the ancient spirit word is a witch in the rain with three mouths, which means that the witch prays to the heavens for rain and obtains it, and it is called the god also, which was originally a good luck word. However, if you do not write in ancient style but in simplified style, it is tantamount to giving up the protection of the gods, and this trip will definitely not go well. ”

The eighth master turned around, walked to the other side of the door frame, and then looked at the spiritual characters written by Li Xiu and continued: "According to the train of thought just now, if you enter the house of extreme yang, you will definitely encounter great disasters, and it will definitely not go well when you enter the house of extreme yin. Look at the spirit character you wrote, the structure of ordinary people writing spirit characters is small and the fire is big, but the spirit word you write is a big mountain and small fire, which is a little strange. ”

"What's so strange? Individual writing habits are just different. Chu Jun was already a little unhappy when he listened to the eighth master on the left and the one on the right.

"The mountain is the real fire is the void, the mountain is the yang and the fire is the yin, the yin fire forges the yang mountain, the mountain will be more and more forged, indicating that the spirit of people is getting better and better. But your yang mountain is too big, and the yin fire is too small, and the mountain collapses and extinguishes the fire. The so-called solitary yang is not born, the solitary yin does not grow, and the mountain presses the fire to extinguish the solitary yang and does not live, this should be a mortal situation, but ......" the eighth master groaned and did not continue.

"Eighth master, can we finish talking at once, there is still something to do next." Chu Jun pouted.

The eighth master smiled: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but this word test is really a bit weird, and I can't see through it." ”

"Then tell me, where can't you see through?" Chu Jun said.

"Relying on the mountains and falling on the fire, this is also a great bad luck, and the lonely sun is also a great omen. Theoretically, this word is written here and now, and it should be a certain death. Strange as it may seem, it is. However, if we look at the two methods of interpreting words together, this matter has changed again. ”

The eighth master groaned and said: "If the mountain falls and the fire is extinguished, you don't have to suffer on the fire; Although the solitary yang is not born, the anode can also give birth to yin, a mountain falls and all things are born, if this word is written normally, although it is ominous, there is no omen of great evil. Your way of writing, although it is a big murderer, but it seems to be a big luck among the big evils, how can this big evil and good luck appear at the same time, I don't understand it. ”

"Since I don't understand it, then I don't need to look at it anymore, I'll go to the wooden house to exchange for what you need, and when you come back, please keep your promise and give me the beads in that room." Li Xiu picked up the gem box as he spoke, and walked towards the red wooden house.

"Li Xiu, let's go to one room alone, although the words of the eighth master are not credible, but I always feel a little unsteady in my heart." Chu Jun stopped Li Xiu and said.

"We're all in, what if something happens? You stay outside, and if anything happens, you won't all fall here, and you can go out and figure out a way. This is the place of your Chu family, I can't do what you can do, and I can't use the methods you can think of, so it can only be useful if you are outside. ”

"Be careful." Hearing Li Xiu say this, Chu Jun let go of his hand, and still said a little worriedly.

"Don't worry." Li Xiu knocked on the door, but no one answered in the red wooden house.

"But anyone?" Li Xiu shouted as he knocked on the door.

"No need to shout, the people inside can't hear it, and even if they can hear it, they won't answer you, just push the door and go in." The eighth master in the middle room said.

Li Xiu didn't say anything more when he heard this, and tried to gently push the door with his hand, but the door was really unlocked, and it opened with a light push.

"High in the Sky"

Everything in the red wooden house is red, red walls, red tables, red chairs, but everything you can see is red.

Facing the door was a red beaded curtain, behind which was the inner room, through which a woman dressed in red and covered with a red veil could be faintly seen sitting on the embroidery behind a low table. On the low table was a white jade vase, in which were three flowers, one white, one red and one black.

There are three jade bowls in front of the jade bottle, which are also white, red and black.

"Excuse me, the eighth master asked me to exchange the gem for a bowl of water?" Li Xiu stood at the door and said it several times, but the woman in red in the inner room behind the beaded curtain didn't say a word, and sat there with her eyes closed, as if she hadn't heard it, and she didn't even open her eyes.

Li Xiu frowned, and walked directly into the house, this step into the house, obviously there was no change in the house, but it made Li Xiu feel a little different, but he couldn't tell what was different.

The wooden door behind him closed automatically, and Li Xiuzhi didn't care, just continued to look at the things in the room, wanting to know where his different feeling came from.

"Who's coming?" Obviously, she screamed so much outside the house just now, and the woman in red didn't seem to hear it, but now she just took one more step and came to the house, and the woman in red not only opened her eyes, but also took the initiative to ask.

"Could it be that the inside and outside of this house are separated by one step, and it is really like what the eight houses say, and the people in the house can't hear the sound outside the house, nor can they see the things outside the house?" Li Xiu listened attentively, and sure enough, he couldn't hear the sound outside the house, and he was more and more surprised in his heart, and pushed the door, but the door didn't move at all, and it couldn't be opened.

"The eighth master asked me to exchange this box of rubies for a bowl of water." Li Xiu opened the box in his hand and pointed the ruby in the box in the direction of the woman in red.

"Which bowl of water do you want to change?" The woman in red asked.

Li Xiu was slightly stunned, and the eighth master only said that he would change a bowl of water, but he did not say which bowl of water he wanted to change.

Li Xiu thought about it slightly, and understood that even if he went back to ask the eighth master now, it was useless, such an important matter, if he knew, how could he not tell Li Xiu which bowl of water to change.

The eighth master didn't say it, either he deliberately embarrassed Li Xiu, or he didn't know it, so there was no point in asking again, and the door couldn't be opened, so he couldn't get out at all.

"Which bowl of water can I change?" Li Xiu asked.

"You can change any bowl you want, but you have to drink the remaining two bowls of water before you can take the bowl of water you want." The woman in red said with a smile.

"What happens if I drink the water in the bowl?" Li Xiu asked tentatively, he didn't have much hope, and it was estimated that the woman in red would not tell him.

Unexpectedly, the woman in red actually spoke: "The water in the white jade bowl is called Destiny, the water in the black jade bowl is destined, and the water in the red jade bowl is called personality. If you drink all three bowls, there will be great edification. But if you only drink two bowls, it's hard to say. ”

"What's the hard thing to say?" Li Xiu asked.

"If you drink the destiny and destiny, then the destiny is destined, and you lose the opportunity to change your destiny, and your future achievements will stop here." The woman in red seemed to be afraid that Li Xiu wouldn't understand, and explained: "That is to say, your body is finalized, and no matter how much you cultivate in the future, it will be impossible to continue to evolve." ”

After a pause, the woman in red continued: "If you drink the destiny and personality, then the personality is determined by the heavens, and you can only resign yourself to fate, and then whether the achievements are good or bad, you can only gamble on luck." ”

"What if I drink destined and personality?" Li Xiu asked.

"Personality is destined, external causes are difficult to change, and any external force will be useless to you in the future, and it is said that no matter how good the world is, it will not be able to change your body, and you can only rely on your own penance to get one or two." The woman in red smiled and said, "Which two bowls do you want to drink?" ”

"Can you drink all three bowls?" Li Xiu asked.

"Of course you can, but that little eight has been trapped here for decades, and all he thinks about day and night is so out of trouble, without this bowl of water, he can't leave here, if you drink all three bowls of water, he will definitely fight with you after you go out." The woman in red said.

Li Xiu was silent: "If you only drink two bowls of water, listen to the meaning of the woman in red, there will be three results." Either the rank is permanent and it is difficult to move up the rank. Either resign yourself to fate and increase your level randomly, or you still can't be promoted to another level in the future. The last one is that I can't use external objects, which means that I can't use things like magic cores or gems to improve my level and abilities in the future. These three paths are all dead-end, and it will not be easy to choose any one. ”

"Is there really such a miraculous water in the world?" Li Xiu asked with some disbelieving.

"If you don't believe me, you can give it a try." The woman in red laughed.

Of course, Li Xiu wouldn't try it casually, so he had to ask again: "Since that's the case, then I still won't change it." ”

"You can't leave this place without drinking the water in your bowl, and if you are willing to stay and take my place, and guard this place for me, then I couldn't be happier." The woman in red laughed.

"How can a wooden house trap you?" Li Xiu asked.

The woman in red looked at Li Xiu with a smile and said: "You are a person who can talk, and you obviously want to say how this wooden house can trap you, but when it comes to your mouth, it becomes if you are trapped, and you are a young man who is not annoying." Seeing that you don't hate it very much, I will remind you two sentences, the person who built this house is a person who has great creation, and changing the world is only a matter of thought, if you want to get out of this house, it is best to drink the water in the bowl, and would rather offend that little eight than touch this wooden house, which angers the mistress of this house, although the world is big, there is no place for you. Look at that little eight, he is also a super spirit trialist, not obediently staying in the house, and he doesn't dare to take a step. ”

Li Xiu is right to think about it, Bai Ying said before that the eighth master is a super spirit trialist, if even the super spirit trialist is trapped in the wooden house and there is no way, then even if he Li Xiu wears a magic costume, he may not be able to break out of the wooden house, after all, the upper limit of the energy of the magic suit is only super spirit, not to mention that the light speed gun is not around, and it is still repaired by the Ximen official, and the destructive power of the light speed one is greatly reduced.

"Changing the world is only a thought, this is a bit exaggerated, isn't it, how can there be such human beings in the world?" Li Xiu frowned and said.

"I've already told you what I should say, believe it or not, it's your own business, it's not half good for me if you die, what am I going to do to you?" Seeing that Li Xiu didn't believe her, the woman in red said with a little anger.

"It's just a little hard to believe that there are such powerful people in the world." Li Xiu was not angry, and said with a smile.

"Before I saw the master here, I thought so, and that little Hachi also thought so, so we were all trapped here, saying that we were guests, but in fact we were just prisoners in the nursing home for others." The woman in red sighed.

"Who were you before, and how did you get stuck here?" Li Xiu asked curiously.

"What I am, you don't know. That Xiaoba used to be one of the top ten elders of the Immortal Heaven, and he thought that with the light of the Heavenly Carved Runes, he would be able to run rampant in the world, seek good fortune and avoid disaster, but when he arrived here, the master here only wrote one word for him to measure, and he was almost killed on the spot when he was bleeding from the seven orifices. It was still the people who kindly spared his life and made him obediently become this guard dog. The master also gave him a chance to leave here and regain his freedom if he could get a bowl of water and a leaf. The woman in red pursed her lips and said.

"What about you? How do you get out of here? Li Xiu asked.

"When the three bowls of water are exhausted, it will be the day when I will regain my freedom." The woman in red said.

"It doesn't seem to be that difficult, just find a few more people to drink here." Zhou Wen pondered.

"It would be nice if it was that easy, the three bowls of water of destiny, destiny and personality are not just for anyone to drink, and only those who are selected by the little eight can go to the house to drink water. I don't know what rules the master here has set for that little eight, over the years, you are the third person to be put in by him to drink water. ”

"Didn't the two people in front of them drink water? How did they get out without drinking water? Li Xiu asked, looking at the three bowls full of water.

"They drank, but they didn't finish it, so they all died. When they die, the bowl fills up again. The woman in red said vigorously.

"Will you die if you don't finish it?" Li Xiu frowned, the woman in red hadn't said this before.

The woman in red didn't answer, but said with a smile: "Have you seen the three flowers in the jade bottle?" ”

"See, what's wrong with them?" Li Xiu asked.

"Three flowers correspond to three bowls of water, and if one of the bowls dries up, the corresponding flower will kill." The woman in red sneered and said: "When the first person came to drink water, I didn't know that the flower would kill, so he drank the water in the white jade bowl, and the white flower dropped a petal, and the person died on the spot, without any warning." ”

"When the second man came to drink, I told him about this taboo, and he was so clever that he drank two-thirds of the water in each bowl, and then combined the remaining three bowls and one-third of the water into one bowl."

Li Xiu also thought the same way just now, and it seemed that this was the only way to get out of trouble.

"It's a pity that when he drained a bowl of water, he was also killed by the flowers." The woman in red sighed.

"Can't you just take all three bowls out again?" Li Xiu frowned and asked.

"If he could take it out, he wouldn't have died. Either you drink all three bowls of water, or you can only drink two bowls of water and take one bowl of water with you, otherwise the door will not be opened. The woman in red said a little depressedly: "I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't figure out how to get people out alive." ”

"After talking for a long time, it turns out that it doesn't matter what the two kinds of wine add up, what really matters is how to get out alive." Li Xiu said.

"Exactly." The woman in red nodded, "Getting out alive is the most important thing, as for what kind of effect the water will have on your body, it is nothing compared to death." Unfortunately, this is an unsolvable problem, you have to drink dry water to leave, but if you drink dry water, you will die, this is a dead cycle. ”

Li Xiu lifted the bead curtain, walked to the small table with three bowls of water and three flowers in the jade bottle, sat down directly, and stared at the three bowls of water and the three flowers in the jade bottle.

The three jade bowls are one red, one white and one black, all of which are crystal clear and transparent, as if carved from jade, but the water in the bowl is clear and transparent, no different from ordinary pure water, and there is not even a trace of smell.

The jade bottle is the color of mutton fat and white jade, and the three flowers inserted in the bottle are all delicate and gorgeous, and you are in full bloom.

"If you drink water, you will die, and if you don't drink water, you can't get out, which is a little interesting." Li Xiu looked at the three bowls of water and muttered to himself.

"You still find it interesting? Don't you understand that if you can't break this game, your life will be gone? The woman in red looked at Li Xiu with some surprise.

"Haven't asked my sister what her name is?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"There can still be such leisure between life and death, to be an interesting person, I will make an exception to tell you my name, my name is Wan Chaochun." The woman in red thought for a moment and replied.

"Wan Chaochun? What is the relationship between Wan Chaoxin and you? Li Xiu asked with a slight startle.

"The Wan Chaoxin you are talking about should be a young man, right?" The woman in red asked.

"Yes." Li Xiu nodded.

"Although I haven't met him, according to the genealogy of our Wan Dynasty family, the word letter should be my grandchild, and he should call me a little aunt and grandmother." The woman in red looked at Li Xiu and said, "You know Wan Chaoxin, is it his friend?" ”

"He sent me something, I don't know if it's a friend." Li Xiu smiled.
