Chapter 227: The First Level, Refining the Heart

After Gu Shen came into contact with the dark and deep vortex at the entrance of the Tongtian Pagoda, his eyes suddenly went dark, and after a whirlwind, when his sight recovered, he found himself in a quiet room.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on a futon, and not far away there was a small table, and on the table there was an incense burner, and wisps of cigarette smoke were wafting around.

"Spatial teleportation?"

Before coming in, Wang Jiuzhi had already briefly described the situation that Gu Shen had to face at the first level of the Pure Yang Martial Sect Trial Tower, so Gu Shen was quite calm.

This kind of magical formation, Gu Shen has only heard of it, Since the spatial teleportation formation exists, it seems that such a thing as a ring is also true.

Of course, Gu Shen also knew that even in ancient times, things like space rings, or space magic weapons, were extremely rare objects, and in ancient times, space magic weapons had completely disappeared, let alone seen them, Gu Shen had never heard of them.

And items such as the Tongtian Pagoda, presumably even in the Pure Yang Martial Sect, are extremely important things, and it is very likely that they are beyond the scope of divine weapons.

"What kind of existence is the ultimate of martial arts, the realm of heaven and man?" Gu Shen looked at the quiet room in front of him, thinking secretly in his heart.

Even, he was still thinking, after the realm of heaven and man, the martial arts really came to an end, and there was no way out?

Why did antiquity disappear? What was the reason for the prosperity of the ancient martial arts that led to the end of the ancient era?

Leaving aside the rest of the sects or forces for the time being, why did the top forces in ancient times, such as the Pure Yang Martial Sect, disappear?

A series of questions suddenly appeared in Gu Shen's heart.

This kind of transcendent means that can fold space is no longer something that can be described by martial arts, it is completely an immortal method, and it is impossible for a martial artist to do this.

Otherwise, Kyushu would not have had no space magic weapons for so many years.

Whether it was a divine weapon, a formation, or the Heavenly Pagoda in front of him, these were not things that could be done with martial arts alone, which made Gu Shen's heart full of questions.

In ancient times, martial arts flourished to the extreme, and these were not really seen by anyone, but passed down by word of mouth, at this moment, even Gu Shen had a strong interest in martial arts in ancient times.

Airplanes!

At this time, a ray of light suddenly appeared from the top of the quiet room and shone on Gu Shen's body.

Shrouded in this light, Gu Shen felt that his whole person seemed to have become transparent, and there was no trace of secrets to speak of.

"Male, bone age is twenty-one years, the realm of Gang Qi is consummated, the cultivation is deep, the foundation is solid, the blood is as strong as the sea, the bones are strong and the muscles are strong, the body is not bad, and the talent is on the armor!"

The grand voice echoed in the entire quiet room, as if coming from outside the sky, Gu Shen heard this, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, when he came, Wang Jiuzhi had told Gu Shen that he had consulted the ancient books, and he also had a little understanding of the trial tower of the Pure Yang Martial Sect.

It is not the same as what those Jianghu martial artists said, in fact, the first level of the Pure Yang Martial Sect trial is a test of the talent of the martial artist.

Of course, only a young and handsome man like Gu Shen would trigger this trial, and if the talent was weak and the old were old, the trial tower would not test it in such detail.

The ratings of the internal trials of the Pure Yang Martial Sect were divided into three grades: A, B, and C, and each grade was divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower.

Among them, the talent on the armor, even in the year of the Pure Yang Martial Sect, can only appear in a few decades, and such a character belongs to the Heavenly Heroes even in the era when the ancient martial arts were extremely prosperous.

In other words, if you put Gu Shen in the ancient era, his talent is definitely the most outstanding.

At this time, the grand voice sounded again: "The talent test is completed, the first level, the heart refining begins." ”

Gu Shen raised his head, wanting to know the source of the sound, but there was no other living thing in this quiet room except for him.

"Machine spirits?" An idea suddenly appeared in Gu Shen's mind.

But the next moment, before he could think about it, an invisible force appeared in the quiet room, like a breeze, brushing against Gu Shen.

"Shhh

Suddenly, Gu Shen felt a sharp pain coming, and his face turned pale for a moment.

The pain did not come from his body, but from his spirit, or rather from his soul.

In the quiet room, the surging invisible power seemed to be able to cut Gu Shen's soul and tear his soul into countless parts, this pain was indescribable, even more terrifying than Ling Chi, even with Gu Shen's will, he was sweating profusely in pain, his expression was hideous, and he sat there gritting his teeth.

No wonder, so many martial artists didn't even survive the first round, and those who could hold on were all extremely tenacious.

This time, the martial artists who came to participate in the trial of the Pure Yang Martial Sect could brush down many people just from this first level.

The Pure Yang Martial Sect was among the top forces even in ancient times, and its disciples were naturally all martial arts talents, with extraordinary talents, and they were the best in the ancient era, but the Pure Yang Martial Sect believed that talent alone was not enough, and the martial artist sought his own body, and if he wanted to achieve something in the martial arts, he must be tenacious and tenacious, and he could face difficulties no matter what difficulties he encountered.

If you don't have such a mind, no matter how talented you are, your future achievements will be limited.

Especially when you reach the realm of the great martial arts master of the innate realm, after opening the entrance of heaven and earth, you must have a sympathetic relationship with heaven and earth, and a martial artist who is not strong enough will will be crushed by the general trend of rolling heaven and earth in an instant, and at least he will become an idiot, and at worst he will die on the spot.

There are many martial arts masters who have attacked the innate realm, but in the end, they are all at this level, because their spiritual will is not strong enough and they fall short.

Therefore, the first level of the trial of the Pure Yang Martial Sect is called - Heart Refining.

Gu Shen gritted his teeth, and a wisp of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, but the pain had not disappeared, and it was still intensifying little by little.

It's not enough to describe this kind of ordeal, every second, for Gu Shen, is as long as a year.

What Gu Shen didn't know was that because the reason why his talent had reached the top of the armor, he had already triggered the strongest trial of the Pure Yang Martial Sect, and although the rest of the people would also have this experience, they would not reach this level.

Obviously, the Pure Yang Martial Sect believes that the more talented a person is, the more cruel the trials they will face, so as to prove whether his heart is worthy of his talent.

As time passed, Gu Shen was already spasming in pain, his fists were clenched, his nails were embedded in the flesh and blood, and he was still forcing himself to wake up.

I don't know how long it took to pass, but in the quiet room, the invisible power gradually dissipated, and the pain that acted on Gu Shen's soul also disappeared.

Gu Shen's whole body suddenly loosened, and he almost fell directly to the ground, he breathed heavily, and he was covered in cold sweat, feeling that he had come back to life.

But the next moment, before he could think about it, he only felt that it was dark in front of him, his body was sinking, and his sight, hearing, smell, etc., all disappeared at this moment.

The boundless darkness engulfed Gu Shen, he couldn't perceive anything, as if he was imprisoned in a dark prison, time passed slowly, but Gu Shen still couldn't feel anything, his five senses were completely deprived, and there was only eternal darkness around him.

Gu Shen forced himself to calm down, he wanted to speak, he wanted to yell, but he found that he couldn't do it, of course, even if he did, he couldn't hear it at all.

Here, whether it is time or space, everything is gone, and even Gu Shen's own existence seems to be nothing.

No matter how tenacious Gu Shen's spirit is, he has lost his five senses in such a dark and closed environment, and his mental state is close to the verge of collapse.

If he collapses, the trial will be regarded as a failure, and Gu Shen will be thrown out by the Tongtian Pagoda just like those people before.

And just when Gu Shen was about to collapse, suddenly, a beam of light appeared, tearing through the boundless darkness in front of Gu Shen's eyes.

"Wow!"

Immediately after, Gu Shen's hearing recovered, and before he could be surprised, he suddenly saw a scene hidden in the deepest part of his memory, an extremely familiar scene.

As a baby's cry came, in Gu Shen's sight, everything around him was white.

White walls, white sheets, and a crowd of people dressed in white look like angels in white.

"It's ...... Hospital? How could I be in the hospital, wasn't I being tested in the trial tower of the Pure Yang Martial Sect? ”

Gu Shen turned his head sideways, and he saw a woman lying on the hospital bed not far away, with fair complexion, beautiful facial features, long hair scattered, and a delicate face covered with sweat.

"Mom......"

Seeing this incomparably deep and kind face in his memory, Gu Shen subconsciously exhaled softly.

But he forgot that he was a baby now, and all he could do when he opened his mouth was a cry.

At this time, a man with good facial features and a broad back stretched out his big rough hand and hugged Gu Shen.

"Dad......"

That's right, this man and a woman are Gu Shen's parents on the earth in his previous life.

Gu Shen couldn't have imagined that he would actually appear here and experience this scene again.

"I'm born again?" Gu Shen's stomach was full of doubts.

"Have you figured out what it's called?" Gu Shen's mother looked at Gu Shen with a kind smile, and there was only him in her eyes.

Gu Shen's father smiled slightly, looking at Gu Shen's eyes, there was a light shining, and he said, "Gu Shen, I hope that when he grows up, he can become a calm and calm mature man." ”

"It will definitely be ......" On the hospital bed, the woman with beautiful facial features looked at Gu Shen, with a strong love in her eyes that could not be dissolved.

With the passage of time, Gu Shen grew up slowly, and in this life, because he had the mind of an adult, he was no longer naughty, but unusually obedient, and finally as his parents wished, he was admitted to the best university in China.

Because of the experience of the previous two lives, Gu Shen in this life is extremely excellent, with a keen business sense, and a decisive style of acting, he is young and self-made, and before the age of thirty, his company was successfully listed, and his worth is directly as high as one billion, becoming the most dazzling business star of the younger generation.

And, with his own ability, Gu Shen's career has been rising, and the company's stock price has become more and more expensive, and soon, when Gu Shen was thirty-five years old, he was worth tens of billions.

At this moment, countless flowers and applause followed, thirty-five years old, Gu Shen is still not married, in the eyes of everyone, he is the best one, the relatives around him come to the door one after another, every day there are countless people to introduce him to the object, and countless old classmates come to visit.

Gu Shen's life has almost reached the pinnacle of his life, and he is high above the crowd of countless people.

His parents are proud of him, he is their pride, there are countless beautiful women lined up to date Gu Shen, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, Gu Shen can pick at will.

In the year when Gu Shen was thirty-eight years old, Gu Shen's career went further, and even overseas business was monopolized by him, he was worth more than 100 billion, no matter where he went, he was the most eye-catching existence.

But in this year, his father suddenly fell ill and was paralyzed in bed, and his mother was anxious because of his father's illness, and her health was not as good as before.

In the same year, at the request of his parents, Gu Shen ended the absurd life of living among thousands of flowers and not touching a single leaf, and he chose the most beautiful and feeling among a group of female friends, and the two got married.

When Gu Shen was forty years old, the company's stock price suffered Waterloo, and the market value evaporated by hundreds of billions overnight, and this year, Gu Shen's child was born.

No one can always have smooth sailing, and Lady Luck will not favor one person all the time.

Time passed, and the child gradually grew up, but Gu Shen's company's stock price fell again and again, and by the time his child graduated from elementary school, his company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

And he has also changed from a high-profile business wizard to an old man who is about to go into debt.

The wife, who has been grinding with his ears and temples for so many years, seems to have changed people, and before the company went bankrupt, she divorced Gu Shen and took away everything Gu Shen had left, leaving him with only the child.

My father has been paralyzed in bed for many years, and I relied on Gu Shen to use money to continue my life, and my mother has been suffering from heart disease and poor health for so many years because of my father.

Gu Shen's company went bankrupt, he had to take care of his parents and children, and he was still burdened with huge debts, so he had no choice but to come to the roadside to set up a stall.

In an instant, the news of the roadside stall worth 100 billion yuan made headlines, and countless people came to watch every day, as well as former business competitors who sent people to see his jokes.

But Gu Shen endured all of this, and it was not easy for him to provide the child until he graduated from high school, and before he could look forward to a good day, his body couldn't support it first.

Because of staying up late for many years, Gu Shen had a bunch of stubborn illnesses in his body, and when he was old, these stubborn illnesses broke out at the same time, and it didn't take long for him to die and pass away.

"Looking back on this life, what do I have left in the end?" At the last moment of death, when the darkness came, Gu Shen asked himself.

"I've been brilliant, down, proud, and disappointed, but are these what I want, what do I really want?" Gu Shen fell into deep self-doubt.

What is the purpose of human life?

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the deepest part of Gu Shen's heart: "Put it down...... Let's put it down...... Give up everything, and death may be the ultimate destination. ”

"Yes, put it down, let it go, you won't be so tired......" Gu Shen muttered.

At this moment, the heavy pressure in his heart suddenly disappeared, and an unprecedented sense of relaxation gradually hit, Gu Shen had never felt so comfortable, so relaxed, and there was no longer the slightest pressure on his body.

But at this last moment, a thought suddenly flashed in Gu Shen's heart, and a faint voice sounded in his heart.

"Can't...... Can't give up...... It's all fake! ”

Suddenly, Gu Shen's heart sank, decades of life, every scene has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it has almost wiped out the memory of Kyushu, all this is too real.

However, at the last moment, the deepest instinct of his soul reminded him that all this was fake, he was still in the trial of the Pure Yang Martial Sect, he was refining his heart!

"I'm Gu Shen, Gu Shen of Kyushu, the commander of the Jingtian Division in the summer, everything that happened just now is fake!" At this moment, Gu Shen suddenly woke up.
