After Liu Fei left, in Xiao Man's puzzled gaze, Mo Liang spoke: "Since you have decided to take the path of cultivation, then I will help you once." ”

Then he said, "Tomorrow you enter that ruin with me, and I will be there to introduce you to the path of cultivation, but I will only guide you to the beginning, and I will not guide you too much, and from now on, you will walk on your own, no matter what happens, even if you die on this path, do not regret it." “

Mo Liang's sudden indifferent words made Xiao Man a little silent, but he finally nodded and said, "I won't regret it, because it's my own choice." “

The candlelight in the room flickered, and the soft light illuminated the dark cabin, Xiao Man bowed his head slightly, and the candlelight shone on the messy hair in front of his forehead, casting a shadow on his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

Mo Liang didn't pay attention to him, but turned his head to Xiao Ning and asked, "Do you know who the people from the Flying Snow Sect in the sect who came for this ruin are?" “

The Flying Snow Sect is an eight-rank sect, and it is impossible for no one to come to the opening of the ruins this time, and it is precisely because of this that Mo Liang asked Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning didn't know why Mo Liang asked this question, but she still thought for a moment and replied, "It seems that there are three people here, the leader is called Elder Bai by them, and the other two are named Song Shuyang and Xu Shuangxue. “

Hearing this, the corners of Mo Liang's mouth twitched, and he made a decision in his heart, he showed a smile and said, "I know, you go and rest first." “

Xiao Ning nodded, looked at Xiao Man, who had been silent and did not speak, wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end, so he was also silent.

In this way, in the process of everyone's own thinking, the time of the night gradually passed.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Mo Liang and Liu Fei, who had already returned, made a simple preparation, and then took Xiao Man, who had not slept much all night and had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, to enter the ruins, and before leaving, Mo Liang suddenly said: "Xiao Ning, you also go with us." “

"Huh? Brother Mo, we are entering the ruins to look for opportunities, it is already difficult to bring a child, will it be inappropriate to bring another girl? Liu Fei said euphemistically, not understanding what Mo Liang meant.

Xiao Ning was also very dazed, not knowing why Mo Liang took her.

"Brother Mo, she's a bad woman, don't believe her, she's ......" Xiao Man also said urgently, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mo Liang waving his hand.

Mo Liang said lightly: "Yesterday Xiao Ning has told me everything about you, anyone can say that she is a bad person, but only you can't, I want to know if you can understand what I mean." “

Xiao Man stopped talking, and Mo Liang opened his mouth and said to Liu Fei: "Brother Liu, don't worry, since I took them into the ruins, I am sure to ensure their safety, and it will not affect your search for opportunities." “

"That's not what I meant." Liu Fei was a little embarrassed, and then he said: "Brother Mo and I fell in love, since you decided to take them into the ruins, there must be your ideas, I support you." “

"Since you're all right, let's go."

No longer giving others a chance to speak, Mo Liang took the lead out of the house and walked towards the outside of the city, Liu Fei immediately followed closely, Xiao Man also followed behind the two in silence, as for Xiao Ning, he still looked confused, but out of trust in Mo Liang, he hesitated for a while and told a few children in the house, and then trotted to catch up with Mo Liang and the others.

After walking for nearly an hour, the four of Mo Liang finally came to the place that Xiao Man said last night, only to see that the jungle that should have been empty was already full of people at this moment, and many monks were talking enthusiastically coming and going, and everyone had a look of eagerness on their faces.

Mo Liang walked closer, only to see a black broken stele diagonally inserted in the jungle, and the original quaint surface of the broken stele was flowing with a glittering essence at this time, faintly outlining a mysterious formation.

"Sure enough, it's a teleportation array."

Mo Liang confirmed the guess in his heart, and if he wanted to enter the ruins, it was estimated that the broken monument in front of him was the only passage, and there was no other way to enter the ruins again.

"Brother Mo, the people closest to the stone tablet are the people from the major sects." Beside Mo Liang, Xiao Man explained in a low voice.

Mo Liang followed Xiao Man's gaze and saw three people sitting next to the stone tablet, a middle-aged man who looked to be thirty or forty years old, an old man with crane hair and a beautiful woman in green.

"That middle-aged man is a person from the Crazy Sword Sect of the Eight-Rank Sect, that old man is a person from the Flying Snow Sect of the Eight-Rank Sect, and that woman is a person from the Flying Flower Valley of the Seven-Rank Sect." Xiao Man explained professionally on the side.

Mo Liang nodded slightly, took his eyes off the three of them, and turned his head to the three of them: "Let's go in." “

With that, Mo Liang took the lead and walked towards the stele, while Liu Fei and Xiaoman Xiaoning nervously followed him and walked towards the stele together.

Seeing someone walking towards the stele, the three people next to the stele all opened their eyes, their eyes swept over Mo Liang and the others, and the middle-aged man frowned and said, "One is in the middle of the innate realm, and one is in the late stage of the innate realm, the cultivation is not bad, huh?" How come there are still two mortals, or two children? “

"We're all together, can't mortals enter the ruins?" Mo Liang's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly.

"Interesting."

The middle-aged man didn't answer Mo Liang's words, but closed his eyes again, and no longer paid attention to a few people, in his mind, these mortals who didn't have any cultivation were too long to enter the ruins, I was afraid that they would die before they saw what the ruins looked like, such people, he didn't know how many people he had seen.

Mo Liang didn't care, walked to the stele, put his palm on the stele, and suddenly felt a suction force gushing out of the stele, instantly sucking him in.

Mo Liang's eyes were dark, and when he saw the light again, he found that he had come to a square that was already overcrowded, and behind him, the figures of Liu Fei and the three of them also appeared.

"That's a lot of people."

Seeing the scene in the square, Liu Fei couldn't help but sigh, Xiao Man and Xiao Ning were also amazed, but what they were amazed at was this kind of means of teleporting people to another place in an instant, this kind of subversion of their cognition happened to them, which strengthened Xiao Man's determination to practice.

Only when you become strong through your cultivation can you not be bullied and protect what is important to you.

Xiao Man looked at Mo Liang with anticipation and determination in his eyes.

Of course, Mo Liang noticed Xiao Man's eyes looking at him, but he didn't speak, but looked at a huge bronze mirror standing in the square, the bronze mirror was the height of two adults, and the surrounding area was carved with exquisite patterns, like a work of art.

"Is this a mirror of inquiry?" Mo Liang muttered.

"Brother Mo has good eyesight, this is the mirror of inquiry, but it is an imitation." Liu Fei said.

"Counterfeits?" Mo Liang was a little puzzled.

Liu Fei explained: "According to ancient records, the Asking Heart Mirror is the sixteenth holy weapon on the list of divine soldiers in ancient times, which can break through all falsehoods and point directly to the source, but after experiencing the catastrophe of ancient times, the real holy artifact Asking Heart Mirror has long been lost, and later generations have made imitations according to the characteristics of the Asking Heart Mirror, although it is an imitation, it also has a part of the function of the Asking Heart Mirror. ”

"And because it has the function of a part of the Inquiry Mirror, some major sects or families will basically create a Inquiry Mirror to detect whether the disciples of their own sect or members of the family have gone astray in their cultivation, or whether they have hidden evil intentions, etc., simply put, it can illuminate the truest thoughts in a person's heart." Liu Fei explained.

Hearing Liu Fei's explanation, Mo Liang knew in his heart, and he had to praise in his heart, today's monks, in the difficult period of the revival of the Taoist system, there are still many amazing and brilliant people, who can actually get the information from the book to make a replica of a holy weapon in batches, you must know that the Asking Heart Mirror was a genuine holy weapon in ancient times, and it is quite possible to manufacture imitations with some functions, let alone mass manufacturing.

Just as Mo Liang and Liu Fei were talking, there was a slight shock between heaven and earth, and then an ethereal voice came from all directions, as if ringing in everyone's ears.

"Once a year, the assessment of the inner disciples of the Shangyun Sect will start now."

This voice was not very loud, but when it reached the ears of everyone present, it exploded in everyone's minds like the sound of a big bell in Honglu, and some people with weak cultivation bled from their ears and noses on the spot, and even more unbearable people fell into a coma.

Mo Liang was slightly dizzy in his head, and then returned to normal, he looked sideways at the three people around him, Liu Fei snorted, covered his head tightly with both hands, and barely recovered from the pain for a while.

And Xiao Man and Xiao Ning looked at Liu Fei in pain with a blank face, Xiao Ning hurriedly hugged Liu Fei and said with concern: "Brother Liu, are you okay, why did you suddenly get injured?" ”

"It's so strong, just one voice makes me have a splitting headache, I really don't know how strong the person who made the voice is." Liu Fei said with palpitations, and then he looked at Xiao Ning and said in surprise: "Are you okay?" ”

"What can we do?" Xiao Ning asked puzzledly, "As soon as the voice finished speaking, many people in the square suddenly bleed from their ears and noses, and some fainted directly. ”

Mo Liang said calmly: "This voice should only be aimed at monks, the higher the cultivation, the more serious the injury will be when you hear that voice, and for ordinary people, it will be fine." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, it's just a small round of screening, and then it should be the real highlight."

Sure enough, as soon as Mo Liang's words fell, the ethereal voice just now sounded again: "All injured disciples who fail the assessment must work hard to cultivate, and they must not be greedy and reckless, so ambitious." ”

The voice fell, and streamers of light fell from the sky, enveloping the injured and unconscious monks, teleporting them in an instant.

Mo Liang understood the mechanism of this ruin, what they were facing now should be the assessment of the inner disciples of this ancient sect when the Shangyun Sect had not yet collapsed, and this ruin regarded them as disciples to be assessed, only by passing the assessment and becoming the inner disciples of the Shangyun Sect could they truly explore the ruins.

At this time, the ethereal voice sounded again: "Among the remaining disciples, all qualified disciples can participate in the assessment, and now the assessment begins." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a light suddenly lit up in the distant sky, and the light got closer and closer, and finally formed a long staircase leading to the top at the edge of the square.

"Assess the disciples, go up to the ladder, the higher the ladder, the richer the rewards, and finally the top three can enter the cloud pool."

"Cloud Pool? What is that place? One of the remaining monks asked, puzzled.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the ethereal voice was talking about.

"No matter where he is, the Shangyun Sect was a six-grade sect in the Middle Ages, how can something that can be used as the ultimate reward be mortal? Without further ado, I'll go first. ”

Some people were impatient, and took the lead in stepping on the ladder and running upward, and everyone was afraid of falling behind, so they also showed their skills and walked towards the ladder.

"Let's go, too."

Mo Liang spoke, and then the four of them acted together and also walked up the ladder.

As soon as he stepped on the ladder, Mo Liang felt that his body sank, and an invisible power acted on his body, causing him to pause slightly, and even the operation of the spiritual power in his body slowed down a lot.

Under the pressure, Mo Liang slowly walked up, and from time to time he saw ordinary people like Xiaoman rolling down in embarrassment because they couldn't hold on to the pressure, making them disgraced, and finally teleported out by the ruins.

Mo Liang looked back, only to see Xiao Man's face sweating, his feet were heavy and slowly climbing up, and Xiao Ning was even more unbearable, she was a girl, her physical strength was naturally not as strong as Xiao Man, and at this moment her steps were even more vain, and her long head was tightly attached to her forehead full of sweat beads, it looked as if she was going to fall down in the next second, but she was gritting her silver teeth and trying to persevere.

"Alright, that's it."

Mo Liang glanced back, and found that almost all the monks behind them were mortals, all the monks were trying to climb above them, and no one noticed them at all.

"Brother Liu, you go up first." Mo Liang said to Liu Fei.

Liu Fei nodded, and continued to climb up without saying a word against the pressure, he was already the strength of the late stage of the Innate Realm, and this pressure was quite easy for him.

After Liu Fei left, Xiao Man and Xiao Ning, who had Mo Liang's consent, suddenly sat in place, and they didn't have the strength to move anymore.
