Xu Zhenyun's divine consciousness was bright and dark, and he immediately appeared in front of the sea of clouds world, the short and fat bamboo-shaped jade platform.

After officially entering the border, the "light curtain" at the main entrance has indeed dispersed.

Xu Zhenyun took a deep breath and stepped in decisively!

The moment he stepped through the main entrance, Xu Zhenyun's vision widened.

The space is extremely wide.

There are no windows on the surrounding walls, and there is no obvious light source, but the brightness inside is very high, and I feel as if I am bathed in the moonlight, and I feel inexplicably comfortable.

This spaciousness and brightness is completely different from the terrifying secret realm imagined by Xu Zhenyun.

With an inexplicable jump in his heart, Xu Zhenyun turned his head suddenly.

The "portal" behind it has completely disappeared; I am already in a completely enclosed space.

Xu Zhenyun paced slowly, looking at the six roads.

The floor is paved with bluestone, neatly and neatly, and even the gaps are of general thickness.

In the wide hall, there are six stone pillars of two people hugging each other on the left and right, and the stone pillars are carved with different varieties of different beasts, opening their teeth and dancing claws, and they are vivid.

Suddenly, Xu Zhenyun had a wind in the back of his head, urging and violent!

Xu Zhenyun reacted extremely quickly, blocked sideways, and then dodged back three feet.

Turning around, out of nowhere, a "guard" dressed in gold armor appeared, holding an iron rod two feet long and short.

The Golden Armor Guards were extremely burly, almost not like normal people, and they were a full head taller than Xu Zhenyun.

He wears a bronze mask on his face, and his face is not clear.

He misses a blow and continues to attack, the iron rod moving like the wind.

Xu Zhenyun only felt constrained, dodged again and again, and fell into the wind for a while, feeling aggrieved:

"It's not fair!"

Although the "Liuhe Linglong Pagoda" is known as a desperate situation, it is not difficult to see that the "Golden Armor Samurai" is just an appetizer.

With his combat power as "the number one contender in the martial arts of the general election of the country", it should not be difficult to deal with.

After receiving a move, Xu Zhenyun thought that his strength and speed were not below the Golden Armor Guard.

But now I am in "dream mode" and I don't have a weapon at hand; It has greatly affected the actual combat performance.

Suddenly, Xu Zhenyun had a strange thought.

Following the guidance of consciousness, Xu Zhenyun stretched out his hand and fished it in the air, and there was already an extra copper rod in his palm.

It's handy, it's familiar!

Xu Zhenyun subconsciously glanced at the head of the stick, and sure enough, seven inches away from the top, there was a fingernail-sized "Xu" character engraved.

Even my usual weapons can be manifested?

Xu Zhenyun's spirits were greatly lifted, wielding an iron rod, using the superior martial arts of the Baishi Martial Arts Gym, "Thirty-six Ways to Fight the Dog Stick Method", and fought with the Golden Armor Guard!

The way of martial arts, when it comes to the level of superior martial arts, it is difficult to distinguish the superior in moves, and it is more of a contest of hard power at the level of physical strength and speed.

Although the Golden Armor Guard was large, its basic quality was slightly inferior to Xu Zhenyun's, and in less than fifty rounds, he was killed and retreated.

After another thirty fierce battles, Xu Zhenyun completely took the initiative. With a flick of his backhand, he slammed his stick on the Golden Guard's head, knocking off the helmet and the bronze mask.

Seeing the face of the Golden Armor Guard, Xu Zhenyun was slightly surprised.

Under the bronze mask, it turned out to be a white piece, with no facial features, only a very shallow eye and nose outline, like a dummy mannequin displaying clothing in a shopping mall.

In the main hall, there was a sudden boundless, grand and solemn voice:

"Qualified to be examined."

Xu Zhenyun was not surprised - it was really just an appetizer.

But I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the Golden Armor Guard is okay.

can hold on to nearly 100 moves before being defeated, at least it has the strength of the top 30 in the martial arts category of the national and dynasty elections.

The bar is high enough!

If the rest of the cultivators in the arts, mathematics, edges, bones and other disciplines are not good at actual combat, then will this introductory assessment change?

The sudden change in the hall interrupted Xu Zhenyun's thoughts-

Starting from the middle of the main hall, the space gradually sinks, forming a huge whirlpool.

The whirlpool grew bigger and deeper, and soon spread to Xu Zhenyun's feet.

Xu Zhenyun quickly retreated, retreating to the edge of the main hall, leaning against the wall. If this vortex continues to expand, there will be no place for it.

Fortunately, the change has come to an end, and the surging "whirlpool" has stabilized.

When you look closer, the overall cone-shaped deep pit turbine is faintly visible, and there is an obvious sense of separation.

The seven floors overlap and are clearly hierarchical. On the edge of his left hand, a golden staircase spiraled down.

Half virtual and half real, connecting the second and third layers...... A total of seven turns around it.

This is...... A "tower" in an inverted posture!

The original name of "Liuhe Linglong Tower" came from this.

Xu Zhenyun did not hesitate, went down the golden staircase, circled for a week, and arrived at the "first basement floor".

The entrance to the second basement level is opposite, but is obscured by a "light curtain" similar to the main entrance.

It is not difficult to conclude that only by passing the test of this level will you be qualified to continue downward.

Looking around, the architectural style of this "basement floor" is roughly the same as the main hall above, but the scale has been reduced by a circle, and it is an octagonal space.

There are twelve fewer columns, but two more things:

One is a stone monument more than one person high, but only a foot wide, standing at the entrance; In addition, there is a vivid stone lion statue, lying in the center of this layer.

Xu Zhenyun came to the stele first.

The top of the stele is cast in the shape of a lotus, and the inscription is short and clear:

"On the first floor of the Liuhe Linglong Pagoda, there are 11,864 participants and 11,864 passers."

All passed? Xu Zhenyun's heart was relieved.

But then I was awe-inspiring in my heart, this abnormal pass rate just shows that the follow-up assessment is secretly murderous.

"Trialist, come here."

Xu Zhenyun raised his head suddenly!

This sound is obviously not the heavenly sound of the main hall, but has a clear source.

Sure enough, the stone lion lying on his stomach in the center of the first layer seemed to come to life, slowly stretched out his fat right paw and beckoned, as if beckoning a lucky cat's movements, and repeated: "Trialist, come here." Trialists come, trialists, pass ......"

Thinking of the 100% success rate of the first layer, Xu Zhenyun didn't have any pressure and came directly to Shishi.

Shi Shi turned his head slowly, like a clockwork machine, his huge purple pupils could not see a trace of emotion, and he said in an even voice: "The first level, there is no danger, just three questions to all the trialists. ”

"Are you ready?"

Xu Zhenyun cheered up and said in a deep voice: "Ready!" ”

Shi Shi nodded lightly and asked unhurriedly, "First question." ”

"When the time comes, do you choose the path of 'idealism' or the path of 'reason'?"

Xu Zhenyun looked dazed, and blurted out: "What is it?" ”

The stone lion "whew", shook his head heavily, and spoke in a tone with a little more vicissitudes and emotion:

"It turned out to be illiterate again...... After thousands of years, the cultural and theoretical level of this world does not seem to have improved. ”

But its purple eyes changed brightly and darkly, and it still patiently explained:

"The so-called 'idealism' means that everything respects the original heart, intuition, and decision-making, and what I believe in my heart is true."

"The so-called 'rationality' is to respect the operating rules of heaven and earth, judge the situation and reason, and plan and act."

Xu Zhenyun's heart was relieved, it is not difficult to understand; In the novels I've read, there are more settings that force higher standards......

But as soon as you came up, you were "idealistic, reasonable", who knows what's going on, and you actually say that I am illiterate......

The stone lion lay on the ground with his feet on his feet, assumed the posture of a kitten holding his hands, and said quietly: "Choose, boy." ”

Xu Zhenyun thought about it, frowned, and said, "Do you have to choose?" ”

"If I have enough time, of course I can choose to 'judge the situation and make a decision', but if it's urgent, such as a sixth person sneaking up on me from behind, then I will definitely react intuitively......"

Xu Zhenyun said with words.

Shi Shi was stunned, tilted his head to look at Xu Zhenyun, and his nostrils "snorted" and "snorted" white mist.

Xu Zhenyun suddenly felt a little weak.

He doesn't like to lift the bar, but as a traverser, the consciousness of "I want it all" is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, so his first reaction is not to make a choice according to the rules; Instead, carefully review the question to see if it can be taken into account.

The stone lion was petrified for three minutes, and suddenly an angry expression appeared on his face, shouting, "Lazy boy! ”

Stretching out his right palm like lightning, the sandbag-sized lion fist struck three times on the top of Xu Zhenyun's head.

I only heard the stone lion humming and chirping: "Forget it, I'll see it myself." ”

Its purple eyes suddenly brightened, facing Xu Zhenyun's eyes.

Xu Zhenyun was in a trance in front of him, and he felt that there was a wonderful power of "pointing straight to his heart" to guide him, making him say the true answer very naturally.

But just as Xu Zhenyun wanted to say "judging the situation and reasoning, planning and acting", his mouth was in front, and he said without thinking: "I choose 'idealism'!" What I believe in my heart is true. ”

"Huh?"

The sudden change made Xu Zhenyun completely stunned.

After being stunned for a while, Xu Zhenyun figured out the reason.

After crossing over, the souls and emotions of Xu Zhenyun and the original owner have been completely integrated, just like one person.

But for this problem, Xu Zhenyun and the original owner have different ideas.

And the wonderful characteristic of "pointing directly to the heart" emanating from Shi Shi's purple eyes instantly split the two personalities that had been fused and extracted one of the only answers.

Originally, Xu Zhenyun, who was a traverser, was the dominant consciousness, and he should be the standard.

But the power of this "direct to the heart" is very wonderful, and whichever will in the body is more resolute, the faster it will be "extracted".

Xu Zhenyun swayed slightly between "idealism" and "reason", but he was inclined to "reason".

But the original owner is a person who believes in intuition very much, so the original owner's consciousness takes the lead and completes the answer!

An unexpected turn of events......

Is it a blessing or a curse?

Wouldn't it cause me to be the first person ever to fall at the first level, right?

Xu Zhenyun was apprehensive.

Shi Shi ignored it and continued to ask: "The second question, please make a choice: 'go with the flow' or 'go ahead'?" ”

Since he already knew that Xu Zhenyun was illiterate, Shi Shishi directly explained:

"The so-called 'following the trend' is to be non-persistent, flexible, able to bend and stretch, advance and retreat."

"The so-called 'no forward' is what the sword refers to, there is no advance or retreat, fight to no regrets, and unswervingly!"

But the stone lion seemed to be infected by what he said, and suddenly became excited, raised his forefeet, and spun around in place before lying down again.

Xu Zhenyun hesitated slightly.

He is definitely more inclined to "follow the trend" - before the crossing, Xu Zhenyun was keen on online articles, and he talked about the novel "Gou Daoliu", and he was a big husband if he could bend and stretch, and if he could beat it, he would run...... Definitely not to be stunned.

But he also has a hot-blooded dream in his heart: thousands of troops are easy to split, invincible, and very fascinating.

And looking at the stone lion's very passionate appearance, it is obvious that it is more inclined to "no forward", is this answer a better choice?

Seeing that Xu Zhenyun didn't answer for a long time, Shi Shi's eyes widened like copper bells, and he opened his bloody mouth: "I know...... You're thinking about how to raise a bar with me...... Hmph, don't give you a chance! I see for myself. ”

Purple eyes, shining again!

Xu Zhenyun's spirit immediately fell into an ethereal trance, and replied: "My heart has no advance, I should fight until I have no regrets, and I will not swerve until death!" ”

The smooth exit of this sentence turned out to be faster than the first question!

……

Xu Zhenyun was caught off guard again.

It's the original owner's subconscious answer again!

Xu Zhenyun pondered for a long time, and finally decided to respect his heart and choose the way of "following the situation" - he can bend and stretch, advance or retreat.

But I didn't expect the original owner to be obsessed with this problem.

In fact, the original owner is still relatively easy-going in family life, and sometimes he is a little funny; But in fact, he is arrogant and conceited in his heart, as can be seen in the self-portraits accumulated in his childhood.

"As the sword points to, there is no advance or retreat"; It was the motto in his heart.

In the process of answering, it was still the consciousness of the original owner that was stronger and directly "emerged".

Shi Shi's face was expressionless, and he continued to ask:

"The last question – 'ruthless' or 'sentient'?"

"The so-called 'ruthless' person is the eight winds that are not moved by the heart like iron, and I look at the world with cold eyes when the immeasurable wind and clouds rise."

"The so-called 'sentient' person is easy to get drunk with flowers, hurt by falling leaves, ups and downs thousands of degrees, and I laugh at myself to sentient beings."

In fact, "ruthless" and "sentient" do not need to be explained, this is the simplest concept.

After explaining, Shishi was too lazy to talk nonsense, and his two big purple eyes were directly discharged!

Xu Zhenyun sighed inexplicably, looked into the distance, and said leisurely: "The avenue is ruthless. ”

"Ah......h

After coming back to his senses, Xu Zhenyun was speechless!

Unlike the first two questions, when he hesitated slightly, Xu Zhenyun's answer to this question is relatively clear.

His previous experience on the earth was full of colors and unrestrained emotions, and it was natural for him to choose the principle of "affection".

But there is still no competition against the original owner.

In Xinyuan Continent, embark on the road of Taoism, no matter what kind of literature and martial arts, the first lesson of the Taoist heart class is about "the avenue is ruthless." ”

Although the meaning of this "avenue ruthless" is profound, it is not to make everyone become emotionless wood, but to pay attention to "love to the depths to be ruthless"; But the final foothold is, after all, the words "the avenue is ruthless".

In the original consciousness, "ruthlessness" is the first meaning, and "sentient beings" is the second meaning, which is a matter of course.

Suddenly, Xu Zhenyun was surprised to find:

The three questions, after being interfered by the stone lion's power of "pointing directly at the heart", were all answered by the original owner's soul, and the answer was different from the answer in his own heart!

Shi Shi's huge head knocked slightly, and changed back to a uniform tone: "Huhu...... The first level of assessment is over. ”

"Remember—the three questions in the first level are the hub outline of the next six floors; Don't forget your answers! ”

"Get out of here."

The voice fell, and the light curtain dispersed at the entrance to the second floor.
