Chapter 115: Be cautious every step of the way
Yun Mei'er stuck out her tongue and stepped forward. The two of them stepped into the palace of Muni together, and the three of them had to face the same problem. Mooney has been struggling with this question for a long time, and when Meng Xiaoran and Yun Mei'er saw the problem clearly, the two of them also gasped.
If you can only trade death for the next step, how do you choose?
"Oh, Divine Bird Temple, all of them are neurotic!" Muni couldn't cry or laugh, these questions are indeed a kind of connotation, but they are indeed something that ordinary people need to ponder carefully.
It's no wonder that Muni stayed in this palace all the time, because he really couldn't figure out the crux of the matter. Yun Mei'er pondered for a long time, Muni frowned, and Meng Xiaoran held her arms.
Time was ticking by so much that they forgot that the grid would suddenly crack. Fortunately, Meng Xiaoran's vigilance was strong enough, and when he saw that the other two people were in a trance, he quickly grabbed them one by one and jumped up. After the palace grid is restored, it is back on the ground.
But with this jump, Muni and Meng Xiaoran seemed to have thought of something.
Suddenly, Mooney punched Meng Xiaoran. Meng Xiaoran dodged frequently at first, but after he found out that every move of Muni was a fatal attack, he couldn't calm down.
To be honest, it is indeed very limited to their respective performances here, and the big move or something must not be used, but the appearance of the two fighting for their lives is also serious. Meng Xiaoran and Muni have never really fought each other, and now this fight, to be honest, is only an external form of fighting, but there is no internal cultivation to show.
Muni punched Meng Xiaoran, and Meng Xiaoran turned around and locked Muni's wrist. Seeing that he was about to be buckled by Muni's backhand. Meng Xiaoran made a stir at his feet. Attack Muni under the plate. It's just that this move is obviously too naΓ―ve. Even the average master can react, let alone Muni. But to Meng Xiaoran's surprise, he had already thought of the next step, but found that Muni did not react, and was directly knocked to the ground by his lower legs. Meng Xiaoran made a plan, directly pressed Muni's neck with one hand, and raised his fist with the other hand to put it on Muni's face lying on the ground.
Before he could finish this action, the beam of light in the last grid also lit up. Both had smiles on their faces.
Yun Mei'er was puzzled from the beginning. Now she finally understood the purpose of the two. After clapping her hands gently, she said happily, "We're passing, hurry up and open the door." β
Yun Mei'er explained: "If you can only exchange death for the next step, how should you choose! In fact, this question is very clueless at first glance, but in fact, from the beginning when we enter the Nine Square Grid, each of his questions is actually a series of questions, and its core is the pursuit of human nature and ideas. As for the last question, why death can be exchanged for moving forward,. Think differently if you don't move forward. Whether it is not possible not to die. Such an analysis can be seen because of the desire arises. You need to move forward in order to lead to more disputes and dangers. β
Meng Xiaoran said: "If you don't move forward, you don't have to think about death, it is precisely because of the generation of desire that you must move forward." So why did I get into a fight with Mooney. That's because we advance and retreat together, and we die together. β
"Not bad. Desire is always relative, and relative nature produces contradictions. After everyone's interests intersect, it will bring a lot of jealousy and conflict. If all these are put aside, and one of them takes the initiative to show weakness, in fact, it is completely possible to stop fighting together. Symbiosis and death. In this way, no one will die, but maybe one of them will make a little sacrifice. As he walked, Muni said softly, "Actually, although Xiao Huang and I were both fatal, we didn't use our ultimate moves. Put the common good first. Naturally, then, someone needs to show weakness. Even the people of the Divine Realm can't always win, let alone us. A moderate display of weakness, or a desire to stop fighting together, is a necessity in our lives. β
Meng Xiaoran knocked Muni to the ground, which was actually a show of weakness by Muni. Therefore, the contest between the two of them this time is meaningless, just to understand the mystery of this nine-square grid.
The so-called intentional cultivation is actually the opposite of external cultivation.
External cultivation is naturally an exercise, while intentional cultivation is comprehension. The three of them talked as they walked, and finally reached the last door. And when Mooney finished speaking, the door lit up with gold. In the unreal, a voice came out.
"Congratulations to the three of you for passing the primary test of the Brahma, do you choose to continue with the test, or do you want to go back now. If you retreat now, the Divine Bird Temple will not hold you accountable for trespassing, and if you continue and go on a business trip, you will be responsible. β
Muni said: "It turns out that as soon as we entered the Divine Bird Temple, they already knew. β
Meng Xiaoran said: "The Divine Bird Temple is known as the place where it is closest to the Divine Realm, and there are so many masters here that there are countless mechanisms, and it is normal to know that we have entered." Now that we have come to this point, we will naturally not retreat. β
"Heh, you think like I do. β
The two masters of the Martial Arts Hall entered the Divine Bird Temple, how could they retreat. The Divine Bird Temple is the support of the Peacock Buddha Kingdom, and the Xiuwu Hall is the symbol of the martial arts world of the Dahua Kingdom.
"Up!" the two of them said in unison, determined to move on.
It's like walking through an illusory wall, and when you enter, there's a hole inside. Obviously, this is the place of enchantment of the Divine Bird Temple, and it is very likely that it was shaped by the shape of the space.
And more importantly, when the three of them passed through this wall of illusion, the three of them could no longer see where they were. Meng Xiaoran looked around, but did not see Muni and Yun Mei'er. He called the names of the two men, but heard no reply. After a long time, the voice came.
"Now that you have chosen to move on, then, you have come to accept the test of the Eight Desolation Formation. β
Let's say, in front of Meng Xiaoran, after a burst of smoke cleared, what appeared in front of him was a formation. Meng Xiaoran pondered and said, "What is the Eight Desolation Array?"
The man said: "The Eight Desolation Array has eight death gates, and every time you enter one of them, you will face the attack of the Flood Desolation Beast. Of course, the attack was entirely fanciful. As long as you are fearless and calm enough to ignore these illusory attacks, you will naturally be able to get out of the door of death. β
"In this way, wouldn't you just be able to walk out with your eyes closed?" Meng Xiaoran sneered.
"That's not going to be that simple. The Eight Desolation Formations and the Eight Death Gates are interlocking. Even if you know the formation completely, you have to go through the eight gates from beginning to end. Not to mention that once you don't know the mystery of the formation, you are likely to fall into the eight gates of the cycle. You may be able to bear a fantasy, but continuous fantasy will affect anyone's heart. Not to mention that there is more important one. The reason why these Eight Desolation Formations are simple is because there is still an artificial dilemma in the formation. At that time, once you can't tell the difference between the virtual image and the real situation, you will naturally suffer a big loss. β
After hearing this, Meng Xiaoran approached the location of the Eight Desolation Formation. It seems that if you want to move forward, this Eight Desolation Array must be broken, and the secrets of the Divine Bird Temple are too many and mysterious, attracting Meng Xiaoran to move forward.
Meng Xiaoran took a deep breath and walked forward cautiously.
As soon as he entered the formation, Meng Xiaoran really felt a sense of dizziness coming one after another. Then in front of his eyes, Meng Xiaoran saw visions everywhere. The Eight Dead Doors cannot be avoided and must be entered. If you can move correctly, you can go through eight doors to get out. If you don't move correctly, you will fall into the eight-gate cycle. Meng Xiaoran silently reminded him that he had already entered a death door.
The illusion of the flood appeared in front of Meng Xiaoran, and he saw a fierce beast rushing straight towards Meng Xiaoran. Fortunately, Meng Xiaoran was prepared, not confused by the illusion, did not move, and did not go in the wrong direction. The illusion of this beast approached Meng Xiaoran in the most ferocious way again and again, and once Meng Xiaoran was really distracted, then he might fall into the dead knot of the Eight Gate Cycle.
"Out of sight, out of mind. Meng Xiaoran pointed his finger, and a layer of qi drew out, and a vague scene appeared in front of him. Meng Xiaoran used his own cultivation to manipulate his mind and move forward in this conceptual space, which is somewhat a bit of a poison against poison, and the blur in front of him can also minimize the impact of these fantasies on himself, and at the same time, in the formation, as long as he remembers the orientation and footwork, even if he doesn't see it very clearly, it does not have much impact.
Meng Xiaoran used this method to connect the three doors, and his heart was naturally happy. But the further back he goes, the more things he fears. Because the Divine Bird Temple definitely did not rely solely on the formation to win, there would inevitably be other secret calculation tests.
After three consecutive doors, no one attacked, Meng Xiaoran calculated the probability and believed that it would definitely appear later.
A burst of frightening pictures made Meng Xiaoran fluctuate even if his heart was able to bear it well. Meng Xiaoran entered the fifth gate repeatedly. A saber-toothed tiger-like thing rushed over in front of him, and Meng Xiaoran was not afraid and faced it head-on. Just when he took another step, the root of his ear moved, and Meng Xiaoran hurriedly flashed, and sure enough, this time, two monks appeared in front of Meng Xiaoran.
Sure enough, there were monks from the Divine Bird Temple in the formation! Meng Xiaoran snorted and fought with these two monks with his bare hands.
And these two monks are obviously not top masters, Meng Xiaoran only moved his shin bones slightly, and knocked those two monks out of the formation.
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Meng Xiaoran continued to move forward. In the sixth gate, Meng Xiaoran not only faced the joint attack of the four fierce beasts of the Flood Wilderness, but more importantly, there were as many as ten monks who appeared this time.
Meng Xiaoran sighed, and before he hit, he could only say that he was offended. Ten people and Meng Xiaoran fought for a long time in the illusion of the desolation, and Meng Xiaoran knocked these people to the ground one by one.
Saying sorry again, Meng Xiaoran continued to walk. Although it is indeed simple to break through the Eight Desolation Formation, the most important thing is the constant impact of illusion and the emergence of unknown opponents. Meng Xiaoran is not a fool, when the real master appears, Meng Xiaoran is not surprised, but he knows that his troubles will only really start now. (To be continued......)
