Xu Zhenyun narrowed his eyes.

The style of the fifth-layer small world has changed drastically, and the dimness in front of him makes him a little uncomfortable for a moment.

He stood in a deep and dim space, surrounded by gravel and mud, and in front of him was a large river about two or three miles wide.

The water was turbulent and rushing, with waves six or seven feet high, and from time to time lightning fell on the water, stirring up an urgent turbulent whirlpool.

Himself on the south bank of the Great River.

Looking left and right, the river is endless, with no end in sight.

After experiencing the initial discomfort in his spirit, Xu Zhenyun's mood was slightly relieved.

Because unlike the third and fourth levels, although this scene is dark and dark, there are no foreign objects to block the view.

Like the second level of "True Fantasy Qingyang Wall", the light cluster that is the "undead" is very clearly presented in his present, and it seems to be gathered on the river beach on the south bank by the impact of the waves:

Roughly counting, the total is about two or three hundred?

The total number of people who have passed the fourth level is 554, which seems to have a success rate of more than half of the fifth level.

Looking carefully, Xu Zhenyun could easily find the guiding stone tablet and stand at a position of twenty or thirty zhang in front of his right.

Xu Zhenyun walked over quickly.

The text on the stele is clearly presented and there is no obstruction:

On the fifth floor of Liuhe Linglong Tower, there are 554 participants and one passer.

Hint: Tongtian River. There is thunder on the top, and there is an undercurrent below. Crossing the other side is a success.

Xu Zhenyun was immediately stunned.

Passer...... One person?

That level is the biggest challenge in the seven-layer trial of the entire Linglong Tower!

But why does the "remains" of light that appear here only look like two or three hundred?

Not all of the dead are left with "wreckage" clusters of light; Or is not all the wreckage visible?

Taking a deep breath and calming down, Xu Zhenyun slowly came to the side of the river.

Strange to say, I could see clearly just now, the riverside was empty; But when Xu Zhenyun came to the water's edge, a small boat with a length of two feet and a width of more than two feet suddenly appeared in front of him.

The body of the boat is long and narrow, the head and tail are slightly warped like ingots, and it is made of yellow wood; The waterline part is covered with dark green scars, and it seems to have been soaked in water for an unknown number of years.

This is a raft for Xu Zhenyun to cross the river.

Of course, Xu Zhenyun would not act recklessly, and carefully observed the river in front of him.

The river is tranquil and deep, and the current is more turbulent than expected. But even if the waves are rolling, the first impression of this river is still "quiet and profound", rather than "turbulent and unbridled", and it seems that at first sight, it leaves a deep "stereotype" in people's minds, which is not easy to change.

The frequency with which the electric light falls is very frequent. And the electric light that falls, instead of the usual net, falls vertically, and suddenly blooms when it is close to the water, like a flower blooming - like some unique ball lightning.

Electricity and water, you can immediately see the rapid vaporization of the water flow, forming a gap of a certain size, which shows its power.

Once it hits someone, it will be fatal!

In the entire river, large and small whirlpools have evolved at the same time, which is suspected to have a strong absorbing power and can swallow everything.

The whirlpool in the water and the thunder and lightning in the sky complement each other, and the power is multiplied.

If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that whether it is thunder or lightning or whirlpools, the directions presented are not random. If you deduce the rules, it is not difficult to predict.

There is no need for a special "number" Dao cultivator, Xu Zhenyun is confident that he can complete the calculation with his limited knowledge of mathematics and his relatively accurate time perception ability.

"Shishi asks only three questions; But except for the first level, the Liuhe Linglong Pagoda has six floors. ”

"Two-two-three-four, one more time?"

"The fifth level is the same as the second level, like a reincarnation, re-evaluating the first question of the three questions of Shishi - is it the way of idealism, 'what I see, that is, the truth', or the way of reason, 'judging the situation, planning and moving'?"

"So...... The method is the same as the 'True Fantasy Qingyang Wall', you don't have to think about lightning and torrents at all, strengthen your confidence, and pretend that everything doesn't exist? ”

Xu Zhenyun immediately came to a conclusion.

But he thinks it might not be that simple.

If the assessment content of the second level is only repeated, it is impossible for only one out of 554 people to pass the test; Only one person failed, and it was almost the same!

Seeing the broken "light cluster" not far away, Xu Zhenyun decisively approached the past.

Here, as in the second level, you can learn from the experience of others!

Walk up to a "ball of light" and hook up the senses.

"Zhao Changhe is one of the earliest among the more than 10,000 people who participated in the Liuhe Linglong Pagoda. Shishi's three questions 'the first question is to choose the way of idealism's 'firmly believe in the heart, that is, the truth', after a lot of hardships, break through the first four levels, and enter the assessment ...... of 'Tongtianhe'"

"He and Xu Zhenyun see the same thing, and think that this level is a copy of the second level of 'True Fantasy Qingyangbi'. Without hesitation, he boarded the boat, paddled hard, fully hypnotized himself, firmly believing that everything in front of him was illusory, ignoring the thunder and lightning in the sky and the rapids under the water......"

But after rowing more than fifty zhang, a bright thunder suddenly thundered in the sky on the top of Zhao Changhe's head. He didn't even have the thought of 'coming great calamity', and he ushered in the end of his life. ”

Xu Zhenyun's expression changed slightly.

In the induction just now, Zhao Changhe's determination was extremely firm, and he did not waver at all.

But he was still struck by lightning!

Xu Zhenyun walked briskly, and then tested three or four "light clusters" in turn.

Without exception, the deceased were all the same as Xu Zhenyun envisioned, and chose the way of idealism at the first level of Shishi's three questions. Their choices for this level are similar to Zhao Changhe's, and they are firm in their own self-hypnosis......

But this level is clearly different from the real fantasy Qingyang wall.

The trialist was either struck to death by lightning or swallowed by a whirlpool.

The reason why the number of "undead" is only half at a glance is because there is more than one "illusion" in this layer; Only the first question is that those who choose "idealism" have participated in the assessment of "Tongtianhe"; If the Dao Heart is the "planning and moving" of the path of reason, is it participating in other forms of illusion assessment?

Xu Zhenyun deduced that this was most likely the case.

"Obviously, this is no longer a test of the heart. Forcibly ignoring the thunder torrent is the way to death. ”

"Or ...... This level is assessed as 'flexible', even if a person chooses the way of idealism, but here he has to change it into a law, forcibly make a choice against his own will, and become a way of rationality to 'judge the situation and reason, plan and move'? ”

Xu Zhenyun calmly analyzed while detecting the "light cluster".

Half an hour later, when Xu Zhenyun sensed the seventeenth "light cluster", the situation finally changed.

Lu Feiqing. After this person broke into here, he finally realized that it was no longer feasible to borrow the experience of the second level of "Sticking to the Dao Heart". He thought about it carefully for a long time, and finally made a decision - he chose the opposite of his Taoist heart, "judging the situation, planning and acting", carefully deducing the laws of the occurrence of thunder and torrents, and avoiding evil!

It looked smooth at first. Lu Feiqing drove the boat, turned left and turned again, and easily avoided one thunderstorm and torrent after another, it was really like a thousand flowers in the bush, and not a single leaf touched his body.

and he crossed the river more than halfway; six points; Seventh; Victory looks in sight.

But when Lu Feiqing's heart swelled with joy and he thought he had found the right path, he felt that his 'heart' suddenly sank!

In an instant, all thoughts are lost, it seems that life has lost its joy, life has lost hope, and there is darkness in front of you.

As the heart sank, so did the ship.

Lu Feiqing fell into the water!

He is actually a person with excellent water nature, but this Tongtian River has a unique mystery, and the suction power is extremely strong, and as soon as he makes a paddling gesture with his arms, he is immediately swallowed.

"Dao heart broken?"

Is this the punishment for betraying one's Dao heart choice?

Xu Zhenyun was shocked!

Xu Zhenyun continued to sense the rest of the "light clusters", inspecting one or twenty in a row.

Without any exceptions, all the dead can be divided into two categories -

Or, like Zhao Changhe, he insisted on his Dao heart, took the lightning torrent as a delusion, and chose to hypnotize himself. The ending is either struck by lightning or swept away by an undercurrent; Even those who make it to the middle of the river are very few.

Or, like Lu Feiqing, he violated his idealistic path of "what he believes in his heart is true", and chose the deduction method of taking refuge in the "only reason" way, discerning the laws of thunder and torrents, and then driving the boat to flash and move in the river.

Except for one of the people who made such a choice, who was struck by lightning because of his poor math and made a mistake in his calculations, most of the rest crossed the river for seven points and reached a position close to success.

But then, without exception, they all ushered in the backlash of "violating the Dao heart", and their mood inexplicably entered a state of "all thoughts are lost", and then sank together with the boat they were on!

It is useless to insist on the heart of the Dao; If you violate the Dao heart, you will be counterattacked.

Both roads are dead ends!

Xu Zhenyun concentrated his energy and analyzed carefully.

First of all, among those who died, many of them were so determined that even Xu Zhenyun felt ashamed, and there was absolutely no trace of water; But the thunder fell as usual, without the slightest mercy.

This shows that the method of adhering to the Dao heart and self-hypnosis is absolutely not feasible! The bloody lesson proves that the Heavenly Thunder Torrent is completely real, and it is definitely not a Dao heart test of "wandering between the virtual and the real"!

Therefore, it is necessary to adopt the method of "rationality" to judge the situation and avoid robbery!

But all the people who participated in this environmental assessment were "idealistic" Dao minds.

The difficulty of the fifth level is actually to verify that the examiner has reached a very transcendent spiritual realm - going against the Dao heart choice, can he avoid backlash? Can you flexibly and freely have the ability to jump sideways repeatedly?

It's easy to say, but it's actually hard to get to the sky!

Later people who tried it were not without a smart person who thought of this, so they tried to "convince" themselves with various theories when making a decision, so as to gain peace of mind.

But in the end, the mind is extinguished, and the misfortune of the sinking boat may be later; But it still came, and there was no fluke!

After pondering for a long time, Xu Zhenyun's eyes suddenly lit up.

Taking a deep breath, I felt my heart thump and beat hard.
